Stained Brass.-Whiting wet with
ua ammonia will cleanse brass from
lins, and is excellent for polishing
ncets and door knobs of brass or sill
r.
Alcohol applied Immediately will |
We instant relief to burns and scalds,
d generally prevents blistering. If
is part of the body that cannot be
Imersed in alcohol, apply it with a
zee Of cotton wet with it, Keep 1t |
turated with it, Avoid the fire when

MIR. d. N. Kern, of Pennsylvania,
Eites to the Practical Farmer, that
|enty-four whole potatoes, planted in
many hills, with a handful of bran
each, gave a yield of three pecks,
id the same number right alongside
them, but without bran, yielded only
hlf bushel.
Potato Pie.-As many potatoes
hshed and sliced as will fill pie-dish,
little salt and pepper, sprinkling of
bely-chopped onions, a teacupful of
|eam, (or good milky bit of butter
|e size of q walnut; cover with meat
|e crust, and bake till the potstoes are
|oroughly done. If crust is not APP
Foved it is good without.
Apple Jelly.-A very nice, firm,
|ch jelly may be made from the parings
apples and the cores. Cover them
Eth water and let them boil until the
|ater has wasted little and the apple
kins are very soft; then strain them,
bid add an equal quantity of sugar
there is liquid. A little lemon juice,
few cloves, and some ginger improve
le jelly.
There is scarcely any ache to which
hildren are subject, so hard to bear
nd difficult to cure, as the earache. A
emedy never known to fail is to put a
inch of black pepper upon bit of
otton batting, Cie it up, dip in sweet
il and insert into the ear. Put fan
el bandage over the head to keep it
,arm. 1t will give immediate relief.
Cabbage has a superior value for
eeding purposes. English cattle feed
rs assert that their beasts progress
aster on cabbage mixed with plenty of
ne cut wheat straw and cotton cake
han with any other vegetable. Cab
age contains one part flesh forming
ubstance to three of heat producing,
While in potatoes the flesh forming is
My one to twenty. Cabbage is also
ich in mineral matter.
Red Hands. Keep some oatmeal
IN the washstand, and as often as the
lands are washed, rub on little of the
over them; then rinse 1t off,
md when dry put on a little bit OF
,omade made as follows: Take three
of white wax, three ditto
# spermaceti, three ditto of pow
lered camphor, and olive oil enough to
make it the thickness of soap; put it in
! gallipot, and let it stand in an oven
o melt; mix it up, and when cold il
will be found very good for the hands.
Gloves, worn either in the day or Light
will help to keep the hands white.
Fat bacon, chopped fine and
'prinkled plentifully with black pepper
s convenient remedy for cholera ir
chickens. Last summer a number o.
hens were cured by its use. Wher
'ound, where they had dropped from
he roost, they were so far gone thai
hey could not get up, and were only
able to rise their heads occasionally
They were given comfortable shelter
Oy themselves; teaspoonful of the
mixture was forced down the throat o
each bird, morning and evening. NJ
other attention was paid to them. A
he end of the third day they were set
1T liberty and went about as usual
giving no further trouble. Water maj
be placed where they can help them
selves, but no food is required. Smaller
doses may be given in cases less severe
Successful farming demands tn,
breeding and rearing of farm animal
Of some kind, not only for dairy prod
lcts, meat, wool and increase, but fo
Farm-yard manure must al
ways remain the standard fertilizer
while experience in this country ha.
shown that, under skillful hands,
may be supplemented by commercial
fertilizers. 1t is claimed, however, b,
good English farmers that many of tn,
artificial fertilizers act chiefly as stim
ulant, and after a time the lant
refuses to answer the spur. Thi
is most apparent on the poo
and lighter soils, but even strong
land loses heart unless a fai
proportion of farm-yard manure is ap
piled. The loudest agricultural com
plants in Great Britain are from dis
tricts where scientific farming has beel
carried to its highest pitch, such as tn,
Scotch Lothians and in Norfolk. 1t i
highly important that, in the purchas
of artificial fertilizers, farmers shoul,
deal only with those houses of estab
