Fresh manure is good for corn, cab
5age or oats, but for most other farm
crops well-decomposed manure is best.
An economical housewife will al
ways buy her soap in large quantities,
cut each bar in square pieces and store
in a dry place. 1t lasts better after
shrinking.
-Camping-out Tents,--To make q
rood coating for tarpaulins, add twelve
ounces of beeswax to one gallon of lin
seed oil and boil well two hours. First
prime the canvas with this mixture, and
then use it instead of plain oil for mix
ing the paint.
A Homemade Disinfectant.- dis
solve bushel of salt in barrel of water,
and with the salt water slack barrel of
lime, which should he wet enough to
form kind of paste. For disinfect-
ant this homemade chloride of lime is
nearly as good as that purchased at the
drug stores. Use it freely about sinks,
cellars, cutters, and otherwise, and in
this way prevent sickness and obviate
great expense.
Just now, when warm weather
entails small plague Of flies and in
sects, it is well to remember that the
prompt application of an alkali to the
bitten part allays the irritation and COM
monty at once relieves the suffering con-
sequent on class of injuries, which,
though small, are often exceedingly an
noying and even troublesome, especial
ly in the cases of children and persons
with sensitive skins. Soda and ammo
MIA will answer the purpose.
Indian Suet Pudding.-Half-pound
suet, one cup of molasses, pint of milk,
one egg, teaspoonful of ground cloves,
teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, tea
spoonful of salt, nutmeg, raisins. Mix
the suet and molasses and put on the fire
to warm, add milk, egg, spices and fruit,
either chopped raisins or currants, then
Indian meal sufficient to make thin
batter. Boil or steam three hours.
Serve with sauce.
"A young farmer queries about the
propriety of storing manure in an I'M
used corner of q roomy stable. If dry
when put into this dry place it would
preserve its qualities unchanged for an
indefinite period; but it is in reality wet
enough so that considerable fermenta-
ton and heating may take place, and
some little loss of ammonia by fire-fang-
ing as it gets dry. But the loss would
be less than might result from teaching
by water falling on the pile from the
caves of large roof or soaking through
its base from higher parts of the yard.
Exposure OF the manure to such, water
only as may fall on 1t directly from the
clouds will rarely do any harm; on the
contrary, it will tend to preserve in the
pile that due degree of moisture which
is essential to the proper kind of rotting
of the manure; direct exposure to the
sun is likely to cause more injury than
direct exposure to rain. If our friend
should keep the manure always moist in
its place of deposit, it would steadily
improve in quality,-Prof g. G.. Cald
nell, in N. Y. Tribune.
