HOME AND FARM,

CAMPHoR OINTMENT.-One table
spoonful of brandy, two tablespoonfuls
of sweet oil, one teaspoonful of strong
spirits of camphor.
RAPID drying Of paint is insured by
the addition of small proportion of
litharge, sugar of lead or Japan varnish,
according to material or color.
DRY RoT OF THE SoLE.-Carefully
scrape away all decayed horn from the
sole, taking pains not TO injure the vital
parts; then apply, daily, portion of a
mixture of equal parts of tar and coal
oil. A portion of this may also be ap-
piled within the cleft of the frog. The
soles of the feet should be scraped once
weekly. A light shoe should be applied,
but it must not be drawn too tight on
the foot, and the shoeing should be at
tended to at least once monthly.-Liue
Stock journal.
THE New York World says no good
cause can be given why horses and
mules have or possess what are termed
blind-teeth. Wolf-teeth sometimes ex-
list In the mouths of both horses and
mules. They are situated on the supe-
rior maxilla Immediately forward of the
first molar tooth or teeth, or perhaps
slightly to the one side of the aforesaid
tooth or teeth, and attached to the gum
chiefly. If these teeth are not removed
at the proper time they so affect the eyes
as to cause blindness, or if one tooth ex-
lists on one side only the sight of the eye
on the side of the jaw which the wolf
tooth appears will be destroyed in eases
where the wolf-tooth is left undisturbed.
FURNITURE PoLIsH.-The following
recipe will restore the original polish OF
furniture, especially in the case of such
articles as pianos, fancy tables, cabinets,
lacquered ware, etc., which have be-
come furnished by use. Make polish
by putting half an ounce of shellac, the
same quantity of gum lac, and quarter
OF an ounce of gum sandarac into a pint
of water. Put them all together in a
stone bottle near the fire, shaking it
often; as soon as the gums are dissolved
it is ready for use. Then take roller
OF wooden rags-soft old broadcloth will
do nicely-put little of the polish on
it, also a few drops of linseed oil. Rub
the surface to be polished with this,
going round and round over a small
oPoOO ob u UlllO uuttl IL UcSluS W D0 quite
smooth; then finish by second rub
bling with spirits of wine and more of the
polish. Furniture thus treated will have
a brilliant luster equal to new.
THE farmer who lets all the liquids of
his barnyard run to waste is spend
thrift, however " close-isted" he may
be with money. A practical farmer said
recently: "On my farm on the Hudson
River, l have built cisterns under the
barn and stable, in which this liquid is
collected. These cisterns are all con-
nected, and one being built on a lower
grade, they all empty into this one.
When it rains l put a force-pump into
the cistern and fill two water-carts, such
as are used in watering our streets, and
scatter this liquid over our meadows; in
forty-eight hours afterward change is
perceived in the color of the grass
Another farmer who has a similar ar
rangement in his barnyard, says he saves
100 loads every year, and thinks the
liquid worth as much as so many loads
of solid manure.

COIOring Cheese.

The fact is familiar to all butter max
ers that should the cream become too
warm in the churn the butter is sure to
be very light-colored. The same prin-
ciple holds good in cheese making and
curds to make cheese the heating takes
the color out. Certain markets and no.
tably the English, require a cheddar
color to our factory cheese and in order
to meet this, coloring matter of some
kind must be used. Annato in some
form is generally considered the cheap
est and best. The most economical
manner of preparing it is with potash.
At late meeting of the Elgin Board OF
Trade celebrated doctor discussed this
question and to show the i'll effects of
potash on the stomach he exhibited a
specimen partly destroyed by this pow
erful alkali. From this he argued that
the potash in coloring matter is inju-
rious to the human stomach, and
must cut some figure in causing cheese
to be short lived. TO what extent these
conclusions may safely be adopted we
will leave to the intelligent reader, but
there certainly seems to be measure
of truth in them, at least to the degree
that cheese makers should take some
warning and be not too rash in high
coloring with an article of which potash
forms principal ingredient.
> 1t is our opinion that the market
would eventually be improved if gen
eral system of shading down the color
was adopted to bring our factory make
to more nearly resemble the famous
Stilton. Purchasers taste considerably
with their eyes it is true, but still the
table test proves the sure one in the
long run, and no one can hold a good
market any length of time without
meeting this requirement. Our cheese
have won their present high standing
in the English market on their solid
merits and not by such simple fancy
point as that of color. We would not
advise a too rapid change, but simply
toning down of color, which we believe
would improve the quality and be step
in advance of the position now held BY
our highly colored cheese. american

Keeping Winter Apples.

The question is being discussed as to
whether dry or a wet cellar keeps ap-
Piles best. A writer in the New York
Tribune says apples keep excellently in
his cellar, which is wet one, and cites
the remark of an experienced buyer
that whenever he entered cellar and
was compelled to walk on boards to
keep out CT the water, he was sure to
find the fruit in good condition. On
the other hand many writers recon-
mend a dry cellar as the best for keep
ing apples. Who shall decide the ques-
tionP
That water is not injurious to the
keeping of apples, even when actually
in contact with them, is shown by the
fact that they keep perfectly well on
the ground under leaves all winter. A
friend of mine living in Montreal says
that seeing some very fine Fameuses ex-
posed for sale in that city, he inquired
how they were kept. He learned that
they were part of the cargo of q canal
boat which had sunk in the canal and
was frozen in before it could be raised
When this was effected in the spring, it
was found that the cargo of apples,
which would not have kept much longer
than January in the air, had been pre-
served perfectly in the water. An old
custom of burying apples in the ground,
the same as roots, for winter storage,
also demonstrates that moisture in con-
tact with apples does not necessarily
cause rotting. In Russia understand
that apples are preserved in tight bar
rels with water, in the way practiced in
this country with cranberries. On the
other hand, apples keep perfectly in dry
cellars, as many fruit growers can tes-
tify.
What thenis the essential requisite for
the safe winter keeping of this fruitP
Simply, believe, the preservation of a
low uniform temperature as near the
freezing point of water as possible.
This can be maintained in dry cellars,
but much more easily and perfectly,
think, in wet ones. The presence of
water has controlling power over the
variations of temperature near the
freezing-point, as all know who have
had to keep water in a cold cellar to
keep it from freezing. The moisture
does no harm to the apples. 1t may even
be direct benefit in preventing evap-
OloblOh AAOLl anu CONSEQUENT WlUnoT1ng
of the apples, though this evaporation
is very slight at the low temperature
necessary in fruit cellars for success in
keeping apples over until spring. In
Canada apples are rarely stored for
keeping in house cellars, A special cell
lar is made, deep, with thick stone walls
laid in mortar. These walls
rise above the surface about ten inches,
to allow of small windows for ventilation
and light. There is a double floor
above filled in with moss or sawdust.
This floor is covered by a roof-like attic
and the apples are there kept until the
approach of severe frosts, when they are
sorted, barreled and dropped into the
cellar through trap-door which is then
closed and packed in same way as the
floor. At times during the winter when
the weather is not freezing this cellar
Is opened and fruit removed for sale.
When properly made and managed
there is little or no loss in the way Of
storing winter apples. -COr. Rural NsV

Stone Shower in Georgia.


Last Satur day a week ago. while Mr..
Isaac Reed and his four children were
picking cotton upon a portion of land
belonging to Mr.. Newton Gates, in this
county, rocks began to fall about, when
WI; heed, in anger, grasped up stone
ana exclaimed: Whoever you are, if
you don't stop. you'll get thisr' hold
ing up the stone in his hand. But the
rocks Kept on falling so fast that all be-
gan to wonder who could be throwing
men, when it was noticed that they
were rising off the ground about them
and falling backl So strange a SIGHT
caused them to leave the field and 90 to
.ne house near by, when the stone-fall-
ing commenced there. Some of the
near neighbors were sent for, among
them Mr.. N. Gates and Mr.. j. Bazel "a
sister OF whom is Mr.. Reeds wife), and
all saw the rocks falling some of which
were hot and all testify to the same
1acts-for facts they are-but as to he
cause none of Them pretend to know.
NOW, some will be so incredulous as ut
terly to deny this, and cry out,
"pshaw!' and superstition" vet, in
spite of all, these are .well-established
Facts, as human testimony can establish.
Better accept of them as facts and go to
investigating for the cause. On Mon.

repeated, at the same place and one Of

At special meeting OF the Committee
letters were received from noblemen and
