Rust Preventive.

A new method of protecting the sur
face of iron from rust has been brought
forward by Mr.. Ward, of London. The
new 'inoxidizing" process, as it is
termed, consists in combining silicate
with the metal by the aid of heat.
Cast or wrought-iron objects are first
coated, by painting or dipping, with
silicate glaze, which quickly dries, and
the articles are then passed through a
furnace, or rather oven. In this way
the silicate composition is said to be
fused and absorbed into the metal,
which upon cooling is found to have as
Jumed dull, black appearance. The
boating is said to be so far homogeneous
with the metal as to protect it from any
change from long exposure to the at
mosphere and, at the same time, the
silicate is not liable to disintegrate or
separate from the iron. The articles
treated in this manner may be orna-
mented by combining the silicate wash
with any vitrifable colors. Thus
smooth-polished colored surfaces may
be produced upon iron, which, while
possessing features distinct from ordi-
harry enameling, yet present superior
and more durable results than those OBJ
tainable by ordinary painting and var
hishing. -ScienttJfc american.

FARM NOTES.

EaGs for hatching should not be more
than two weeks old.
THERE is no way of discovering the
sex of an egg before Matching.
THE seed of the amber sorgum cane is
said to be valuable for hens.
GROUND bone, fish guano and wood
ashes are excellent fertilizers for straw
berries.
NEARLY nine-tenths of rice is starch;
of Indian corn and barley more than
two-thirds.
ALL explosions of petroleum lamps
are caused by the yapor or gas that col
lects above the oil.
EARLY springs rarely bring bountifui
harvests. It is said that March grass
makes light haymows.
The refuse corn, after the glueclose
has been extracted, sells in the West at
SO to "a per ton for food for stock.
Corn requires fertility and cultiva-
ton, without which, it matters not how
good your seed, you will never have a
good crop.
IF you want good-sized potatoes, use
good-sized tubers for seed. Do not, IT
you can avoid it, cut more than one eye
In set.
In France it is generally recognized as
arule that the sugar beet should never
be cultivated upon fresh manure or
barnyard manure.
Every acre of land that farmer owns
that pays him nothing and is not in
creasing in value is running him behind,
because the taxes must be paid.
The usual time allowed for lambs &C.
suckle is four months. When separated
from their mothers they should, if pos
sible, be so far removed as not to hear
each others bleats.
A GOOD acid-proof cement is made by
mixing concentrated solution of silicate
of soda with powdered glass, to form a
paste. This is useful for luting joints i'll

A Doctors Liability.

It is related, as legend of the medi-
cal fraternity, that the Emperor Angus
tus was once so highly pleased at cure
effected in himself by his doctor, An,
tonius Musa, that he raised that gentle
man to the rank of Knight, and relieved
the whole profession from the burden of
taxation.
Probably at no time before or since
that event has the lot of the physician
been such happy one. In the earlier
days of Rome the practice of medicine
was despised and confined to the hum.
bier ranks of society and to slaves Not
until the influence of Grecian civiliza-
ton made itself felt in the Roman cap
ital did physicians gain honor or stand
ing.
In the middle ages recalling suffered
a relapse, to speak medically. Surgery
was in ll-repute, and Sprengel tells us
that In Germany no artisan would en-
ploy young man as an apprentice
without certificate that he was born in
marriage of honest parents, and came of
family in which were found neither
BARRIERS, bathers nor "skinners," as sur
geons were called.
Even at the present day, although the
meritorious claims of the medical and
surgical practitioner have been recog-
nized and an honorable social status
awarded him, his mind is not at rest.
The advancement and refinement of
ideas have begotten deeper anxieties and
a feeling of responsibility. So jealousy
does the law guard the lives and persons
of the people, that every time the phys
ician writes prescription, or the sur
geon makes an incision, he takes his
purse, his liberty, or perhaps his life in
his hand. The risk is not all on the
part Of the patient, despite popular
impression that the only pocket-book
likely to be depleted or the only life liza
Bile to be sacrificed, is that of the sick
