LICE on STOCK.-A number OF
letters ask for remedies for lousy
stock. Vermin Of some kind very
frequently infest domestic animals;
they are mostly of the louise type ;
small parasitic animals they must
be removed by the application Of
some insecticide, a number OF
substances have been used to a
greater or less extent, of which a
few are mentioned below; One
pound of Tobacco and six ounces OF
Borax boiled in two quarts water,t
which Soft Soap enough is added to
make thick paste, has proved a
good vermin salve. A mixture OF
Carbolic Acid and soft soap in pro-
portion of one to four makes COM
pound easy to apply, and very effec-
tual. Shortly after, the parts to
which the soap mixture has been
applied should be washed with
pure water and a non-drying oil
rubbed o.. Oil Of Turpentine and
Lard Oil, equal parts, with a little
Carbolic Acid, is perhaps the most
convenient mixture 10 make, and
efectual in its application. Ami
mails that arc affected with vermin
need better care and higher feeding
in order to overcome the drain that
those parasites make upon the sys-
tem.-American Agriculturist for
Oct. /.

UNIT ENT IN FRUIT.-The
mind grasps values by comparison
The chemist tells us that an egg
weighing an ounce and a half is
equivalent in food material to Il
ounces of cherries,or % OF. Of grapes
80 OF. of strawberries. 40 OF. OF APP
pies, 64 OF, of pears. We thus
sec that fruits are not very solid
food. But we do not think any
the less of cherries, apples, and
pears, because they are not as con-
centrated IN nutritive elements as
the egg. They are no less a part
of the best food OF the human race,
and most persons will continue TO
eat them.-Americm Agricultm-

PICKLES IN GLASS JARs,-We
have many letters asking how to
put up my pickles so that they
will like those sold in glass jars at
the stores. These pickles look
beautifully, but we can advise our
readers to try to initiate these pick
les is due to two things, the "green
ing" and to the use Of colorless
vinegar. The very green pickles
are made so.by soaking them in a
solution of alumni verdigris. The
use of a small quantity Of alum, an
ounce to every five gallons of water
to harden the pickles, is not objec
tionable. After the sailed cucum
bets have been thoroughly frcshen
cd by soaking in blood warm wat er,
and changing 1t every day, unit
the cucumbers are fresh enough,
they are put into the alum water
and kept at blood heat for a day OF
until sufficiently hard. If they art
not green enough, be sure not t'
use verdigris, The vinegar used il
called "White Wine Vinegar" bu
it is really made from whiskey anC
water. It's only merit is, that 1t i
cOlorless, it is a pure acid, an(
without the fine fragrance and fla
vor that belong to cider, or even t.
real wine vinegar, For home use
cider vinegar is vastly preie rable
but the pickle makers, for the SAX
of looks, use the other,

CmAPPED HADNS. The raw winds
of late autumn often produce in the
hands Of those who are much exposed
to them that roughuess and cracking
of the skin known as chappiDg. If
nothing Is done to prevent. and the
person is obliged to have his hands
frequently wet and dried, the cracks
will often got deep and be painful.
Corn husking is frequently accom-
panied by sore hands from this cause.
As both a precaution and cure for
chapped bands we have used the fol-
lowing with benefit: Wash the hands
and the face also if it is ioclined TO
chap. with Borax w after, and after
wards rub with aneintment made by
melting Mutton-tallow Cor sueO, and
then gradually adding an equal guam
tity of Glycerlne, stirring the two to-
gether until cool. For. the bands, this
mixture can be best applied at night,
using it freely, and warming it in by
the fire, after which an old pair Of
gloves can be put on to keep the bed =
clothes from being soiled, and also
make the skin of the hands setter. An
excellent Glycenne ointment for chap
ped hands is made by melting, with a
gentle heat, two ounces Of Sweet oil
of Almonds, half an ounces of Sweet
Oil of Almonds, half an ounce Of Sper-
cetti, and one drachm of White YAK.
When melted, remove from The stove,
and add gradually one ounce Of Glyc-
eriue, and stir until the mixture is cold
The ointment can be scented with any
perfume to suit the fancy. Keep in
wide.Becked bottles. American Agri-
culturist.

TOMATO CATsUP.

Wash half a bushel Of ripe tomatoes,
cut them in pieces and remove all green
portions as they iDjure the color. Cook
until soft then strain through a sieve,
pressing well to obtain the pulp. For
this quantity allow half an ounce OF
cayenne pepper and scant teacupiul
of salt. Sir these into the catsup. The
spices being dark will injure the color II
ground and put in loose. To avoid this
bruise an ounce each Of whole cloves,
cinnamon, allsplce, mace, celery seed
and half an ounce Of black pepper-corns.
Tie them securely in thin muslin baS
and when the strained tomatoes have
boiled an hour and a half put in the bag
OF spices and boil as much longer. Add
a quart of good cider vinegar, boil Tor
half an hour and turn into stone jar
TO cool,after which mix pint Of brandy
or pure spirits thoroughly with the cat
sup, and bottle 1t, putting a strip OF
horseradlsh root in each. Use new
cOrks to fit the bottles, soak them in
10. water then pound in as tight as
possible and cut the cork off even with
the top. Make cement by melting to-
gether two ounces Of resin, and one
each Of beeswax and gum-shellac. In
vert each bottle into the hot cement and
when cold dip again. Keep in q cool,
dark place. The same cement may be
used for sealing tin cans, and will be
found much better than that which is
bought ready prepared in sticks.
