To Prevent Dampness from North Walls.

North walls are frequently damp from
the absence of the drying effect of the
sun. This defect may, however, be
remedied by allowing ivy to grow over
them. 1t acts both by preventing the
access of rain, and by the rootlets alb
sorbing moisture from the wall. In
very exposed situations, the rain is fire.
quently driven with such violence
against the walls as to penetrate through
them, although the brick-worE is of
considerable thickness. This evil may
be obviated by dissolving three-qGarters
of pound of mottled soap in gallon
of boiling water, and spreading the hot
solution steadily with a large fiat brush
over the outer surface of the brck-work,
taking care that it does not lather. This
is to be allowed to dry for twenty-four
hours, when solution formed of
quarter of pound of alum dissolved in
two gallons of water is to be applied in
a similar manner over the coating of
soap. The soap and alum mutually de-
compose each other, and form an inselu-
BILE yarnish which the rain is unable to
penetrate. The operation should be
performed i'm dry, settled weather.

a. The latest estimates show that
Oregon will have about six million
bushels of wheat for export this year.
For the past nine years the increase of
production has been very rapid. The
state has some of the finest wheat-grow-
ing districts in the world, lying within
easy reach of navigable river which
furnishes an outlet to the markets of
Europe. Those who saw the exhibit
made at the Centennial Exhibition will
not need to be reminded that Oregon
wheat had no superior and no equal

Water Proof Boots.

A correspondent of the Indiana Far
Neer says: {" stood in mud and water
two or three inches deep for ten hours a
day for week without feeling any
dampness or having any difficulty in
getting my boots on or off. If you
would be equally successful, before
wearing the boots, give the bottoms a
good coating of tallow and coal tar and
dry it in then oil theuppers with castor
oil, about one tablespoonful to each boot !;
then oil them twice week with castor
oil when one teaspoonful will be suffi-
cient. If the weather should be rainy,
or you are compelled to work in water
during the day, wash your boots clean
at night, hold them by the fire, and
you will have no trouble about your
boots getting hard and shrinking up so
that you cannot get them on. If the
leather should become red, give coat
of ordinary shoe blaeking before oiling.
The effect of castor oil is to soften the
leather, while it fills the pores and pre-
vents the water from entering.

Stewing.


Stewing differs from boiling only In
this, that the heat is never raised to the
boiling point, but only to very gentle
simmering, with very small quantity
of water. 1t requires much longer
time to cook in this manner; but in
stewing, the texture of the meat Is
rendered more tender, gelatinOus parts
are more completely dissolved, and in
stead of considerable part going into
the water, as in boiling, the whole of
the juices are preserved in the stew,
which is, therefore, very nutritious
Stewing is, therefore, one of the best
modes of cooking and 1t is also one of
the most economical, for very small
quantity of fuel, properly applied, is
sufficient to keep up the reqHired sim
mering for great length of time. The
constant practice of stewing is one of
the secrets of the perfection of French
cookery. The enameled or porcelain
lined stew-pans are much superior to
the Old-fashioned metal ones for most
purposes. They should always be filled
with water Immediately after being
used, and will then merely require to be
we'll washed and rinsed with more boil
ing water; but when they have been
neglected, strong soda and water should
be boiled in them for few minutes.
