WET BooTs. We give the following
advice to farmers, who next to fishermen,
are apt to get their boots wet through:
When the boots are taken of, fill them
quite full with dry oats. This gram has q
great fondness for damp, and rapidly alb
serbs the last vestige of it from the wet
leather. AS it takes up the moisture II
swells; fills the boot like tightly fitting

without hardening it. In the morning shake
out the oats and hang them in bag near
the gre to dry. ready for the next night,
draw on the boots and 60 happily about
the days work.

In diseases of the kidneys the VEGErINE gives
immediate relief. Ii has never failed 10 cure when

many cases 1t may take several bottles especially
cases of long standing. IL acts directly upon the

IRcN FOR FLOWERS. person who

grassy lawns, or on spacious parterres, may
readily satisfy bimself of the exceedingly
useful parts the foregoing materials play in
the production of beautiful flowers. Even
white flowers or roses that have petals
nearly white, will be greatly improved in
brillIancy by providing iron, sand and un-
leached aches for the roots of growing
plants. Ferruginous material may be ap-
Piled TO the soil where flowers are growing
or where they are to grow by procuring q
supply of oxide of iron IN the form OF the
dark colored scales that fall from the heated
bars of iron when the metal is hammered
by the blacksmiths. Iron turnings and
iron filings, which may be obtained for a
trifle at most machine shops, should be
worked into the soil near the flowers, and
in few years 1t will be perceived that all
minute fragments have b en- dissolved.

THINGS WORTH KNowING.-That boiling
water will remove tea stains and many
fruit stains; pour the water through the
stain, end thus prevent it from spreading
over the fabric. That ripe tomstoes will
remove ink and other stains from white
cloth; also from the hands. That tea
spoonful of turpentine, boiled with white
clothes, will aid the whitening process.
That boiled starch is much improved by
the addition of little spermaceti or little
salt, or both, or little gum arabic dis
solved. That beeswax and salt will make
fat-irons as clean and as smooth az glass; /;
tie lump of wax in a rag, and keep 1t tor
that purpose; when the irons are hot, rub
them with the wax rag, then scour with a
paper or rag sprinklei with salt. That
kerosene will soften boots or shoes which
have been hardened by water, and render
them as pliable as when new. That kero
sene will make tin tea kettles as bright as
new; saturate wooden rag and rub with
it; 1t will also remove stains from clean

WASHING FLUD.-Sal-soda l h.; stone
lime, | h.; water qts,.; boil short time,
stirring occasionally; then let it settle and
pour off the clear fluid into stone jug and
cork for use soak your white clothes over
night, in simple water; wiring out. and
soap wristbands, collars, and dirty or
stained places; have your boiler half filled
with water, and when at scalding heat, put
in one common tea cup of the fluid, stir and
put in your clothes. and boil for half an
hour; then rub lightly through one suds
only, rinsing well IN the bluelng water, as
usual, and all is complete. For each addi-
tional boiler of clothes add half cup OF
the fluid only; of course boiling in the same
water through the same washing, If more
water is needed in the boiler for the last
clothes, dip it from the sudsing tub. Soak
your woolen and calico In the suds from
which you have washed the white clothes,
whilst hanging them out. dipping in some
of the boiling water from the boiler, if ne
cessary; then wash out the wooleu and
calico as usual-of course, washing out
wooien goods before you do calico, The
fluid brightens instead of fading the cOlors
in calico. This plan not only saves the two
rubbings which women give their clothes
before boiling, and more than half of the
soap-does not injure the clothes, but saves
their wear in two rubbings before boiling,
and is good article for removing grease
from floors, doors, and windows, and to
remove tar or grease from the hands, &c.

PUT CLOVER ON YOUR LAND. - An Ohio
paper say that by clovering hundreds of
farms that were about worthless have been
rescued from dilapidation and ruin. 1t is
an accepted truIsm that as long as ''clover
will catch, F" the farm can soon be restored
to paying fertility, and by good rotation is
even getting more productive and profitable;
for after some years of such treat NEXT the
land will bear harder farming; that is, two
or three crops may succeed good coat OF
clover before lying down to clover again.
Rough new land should be subdued by
the use Of new clover. Nothing so ef-
fectually roots out stumps and kills weeds
and sprouts, and prepairs the land for the
plow and good paying crops. Wild new
land should always have it sown on the
first gram crop down. 1t saves a vast
amount of labor, for in few years it 30
tames the ground and clears it of enemies
to the plow that 1t works like old ground,
aud is good for full crops. One great error
is often fallen into, and that is following
the o,d tradition that q bushel OF clover
seed will do for eight acres. That may have
been enou8 8h to cover land partially when
it WIS new, but whoever aims at getting
up his land in speedy and profitable way
should SOW bushel on four acres, so that
his land may be thoroughly shaded.

AGRICULTURE.

EGGS VS.. MEAT. - Would il not be wise
to substitute more eggs for meat in our
daily diet About one-third of the weight
of an egg is solid nutriment. This is more
than can be said of meat. There are no
bones. no tough pieces that have to be laid
aside A good egg is made up of ten parts
shell, eight parts white and thirty parts
yolk. The white of an egg contains SIXTY
six per cent water, the yolk ffty-two per
cent Practically an eggis animal food, and
yet there is ne of the disagrcesble work
of the butcher necessary to obtain il. The
vegetarians of England use eggs freely,
and many of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been remark
ably free from illness. Eggs are best when
cooked four minutes. This takes away the
animal taste that is offensive TO some, but
does not harden the white or yolk 30 as to
make them lard to digest An egg If cooked
very hard is difficult of digestion except by
those of stout stomschs; such eggs should
be eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast is food fit
for king, if kings deserve any better food
thsn any body else, which is doubtful.
Fried eggs are less wholesome than boiled
ones. An egg droped into hot water is not
only clean and handsome, but delicious
morsel. Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper and salt. A little
sweet butter is the best dressing. Eggs con-
tain much phosphorus, which is supposed
to be useful to those who use their brains
much.

The ant has long been an object OF

degree of intelligence One Of these

soldier ants, he noted commotion
among the adjacent surviving relations,
and determined TO watch their proceed
ings closely, following four or five that
started from the rest toward a hillock, n
short distance of, in which was an ants
nest. This they entered and in about
five minutes reappeared followed By
others, and all fell into rank, walking
regularly two by two, until they arrived
ut The spot where the dead bodies of
the soldier ants Law. In few moments
two of the ants advanced and took up
the dead body of q comrade; then two
others. and so on until all were ready
to march. First walked two ants bear
ing Lody. then two wiIhou, n burden,
then two others with another dead ant,
and so on until all the dcfunct insects
were elevated Then the procession
moved slowly onward, followed by an
irregular body Of about 200 ants. Oc-
casionally the two ladened ants stopped,
and, laying down the dead ant, it was
taken up BY the two walking unburden-
ed behind them; and thus they arrived
at a sandy spot which seemed to suit,
Here the body OF ants now commenced,
digging with their jaws, holes in the
ground, into each Of which dead ant
was laid. and then they labored on
until the graves were reiilrd. This did
not quite finish the remarkable pro-
ceeding Some six or seven OF the ants
had attempted to run of without per-
forming their share OF the digging;
these were caught, brought bac> and
promptly killed on the spot A single
grave was quickly dug, and they we're
all dropped into it. - POttct'S american
