How the Jersey" Is Made.

The circular frames used to produce
the long tubes of wool and cotton that
are afterward cut up and squeezed to
shape as marketable stockings, have been
enlarged in size until they can produce
tube of wool thirty-six inches in cir
conference, known in the factories as
Jersey cloth" Miles of it have been
wove already-miles upon miles. When
each tube is detached from its frame, in
lengths of forty or fifty yards, it,is slit
from end TO end, that it may be folded
open and dressed and pressed like other
cloths for use. Then the pattern of the
jersey is laid upon it lin sizes as, say,
for shoes, the jerseys are cut, are sewn,
are pressed fiat again, are in q fit state
for the lady who eulogizes them in song
Already, while the cloth is still in its
open state, folded in its large smooth
rolls, it is suggesting purposes to which
it can be advantageously applied. Long
curtains have been made Of it; outside
cloaks and coats; and as the weaving
women sit in their long, light shops,
among the whirr of the machinery and
their own snatches, now and again, of
country song, it can be seen that they
make bags for their implements of spoilt
ends of it, that they utilize it as busters,
that they cover pincushions with it for
their pins. Any way, new article of
commerce has been introduced that is
sure, in some form or another, not to he
swiftly laid aside.-AR the Year Round.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


B. Benjamin, New York, writes to the
World; If you expect to have any
success with lawn from seeding down
to grass, see to it that the ground is thor
oughly drained, the soil we'll broken up
and pulverized finely and not less than
three bushels of seed sown to the acre.
Lawns may be seeded either in the early
spring or about the latter part of August.
I prefer the spring. To insure an even
growth of grass let the surface of the
soil be alike in quality to depth of at
least tx inches; this will do much to-
ward preventing the growth of grass in
patches. Rolling is indispensable in
the formation of lawn, After the seed
has been sown it should be rolled. When
the grass becomes well started cut it
frequently, and remember that the oft
ener you NOW the finer the growth will
be. Also bear in mind the fact that
cutting it alone will not secure as COM
pact sward as when the moving is fol-
lowed by the roller. Bone dust applied
at the rate of, say half ton to the acre
and evenly narrowed in previous to
sowing the seed, will greatly assist mat
tiers,

Corn Meal and Clover Hay.

SAYS the Mirror and Farmer, corn
meal and good clover hay will be a
prop,- combination of food to produce
milk, for ,7rn is rich in starch and oil,
both good for butter, and clover is rich
in caseine or cheese, so that they possess
both the caIbonaceous and heterogeneous
elements in proper balance. But corn
meal is heating food, and must be fed
with good judgment. 1t must not be fed
alone, but mixed with a portion Of the
clover hay. A portion of the clover hay
should be cut into short lengths, and the
meal should be mixed with twice its
bulk of cut clover, the clover being
moistened so that the meal will adhere
to the hay and both be eaten together.
II the meal is fed with three times its
bulk of cut clover, so much the better.
The meal being mixed with hay, both
will go into the stomach together, and the
meal, instead of being massed in lump
or bolus, will be distributed throughout
the contents of the stomach will be
raised and remasticated, aud thus not be
likely to produce feverish state Of the
system. Nicely cured early cut clover is
good single food for milk. and corn
meal will add other qualities so as to
give some variety; but these two foods
may be improved by adding others, so
as to give more variety. If dairymen
should grind half corn and half oats
together, or even one bushel of oats
with two bushels of corn, it would
decidedly improve the ration. Oats are
excellent for milk. 1t will also be an
improvement to mix fifty pounds of
bran or wheat middlings with 100
pounds of corn meal. 1t should always
be borne in mind that the greater the
variety in the food of the COW the
better.

I find any defective place of any kind I
take my knife and cut off all the dead
bark and scrape the cavity clean; then
with my shovel / plaster the cavity over
so that no air can get in; then 1 put
around my bandage and tie it just tight
enough to keep the bandage from falling
off. 1 then leave it on until the next
year, when l take it off, and generally
find the cavity entirely grown over with
q new bark. When I find where the
borers are or have been at work, 1 treat
it in the same way, and never fail to ex-
terminate them, and the following
spring 1 find new bark covering the
entire cavity.
Lost year the hare or rabbits got at
three fine young apple trees which were
about six inches in circumference. The
varmints completely pealed the bark off
for eighteen inches in length, and lef-
about one-fourth of an inch of bark on
one side to carry the sap to the branch

being careful to cover the entire wounds.
A few days ago took off the bandages
and found new bark covering the en-
tire wounds, and the trees have made as
good a growth as those not hurt. l

seldom lose O tree.
We are also troubled with what We
call the sap-suckers. Most orchardists
know what they are. They generally
come around about November and tap
the trees Just below the first branches,
going entirely around the tree four or
more times. AS soon as l discover them
I plaster COW droppings all around the
tree about where they work, and they
will not touch the tree. 1 could say
more, but will do so next time 4.

Wood Ashes ut the Farm.

When We were clearing up our farms In
Western New York the potash makers
were very careful about buying ashes
made from log heaps, where old logs
we're burned with the green timber. AT
that time there was no means for testing
ashes with any degree of correctness.
But the practical buyer had q way of his
own of guessing pretty nearly their true
value. I can remember hearing people
say that ashes made from timber
that had grown ON low la0ds made
stronger and more ashes than from the
same kind of trees that grew on the
hills. Is that really so?
The lash peddlers," as we used to
call them, were always very anxious to
get the ashes from the sehoolhouse,
There we used to burn, in very cold
days, full cord of wood (if we had a
spelling school in the EVENING", in a fire.
place that could hold nearly half cord
and room enough left to put on one more
stick on top. The wood we burned there
(only few of the readers of the Country
Gentleman are now left to remember the
place and time we graduated) was prin-
cipally white and red beach, and to burn
dry wood in schoolhouse nobody could
be SO extravagant, as it burned out S
fast. But the ashes were fdick of sale;
and IL the scboolmaster built the morn
ing fire, he had the cash for his work
bushel day or more.
1 am inclined to think that the reason
why there are so many failures in soap
making among the farmers wives is ow-
ing to the fact that too great proper
ton of the ashes used are from very dry,
and perhaps more or less rotten, wood.

Silk manufacture is one of the indus
tries of recent development in this
country. Twenty years ago it had no
existence. In 1870 the total value of
silk products, including $5,672,S on
account of twist and sewing silk, was
SO, 739,362. According to the new
census the aggregate of silk produc-
tions and of finished goods for the year
ended June 80, 1880, was s34, 410, 463.
The industry gives employment to
"a, 440 persons, of whom 1884 are
females above fifteen years of age. Last
year the total of wages paid amounted
to SO, 1877, 1886. Silk manufacture is car
ried on in fifteen States of the Union.
Connecticut has twenty-eight factories,
Massachusetts twenty-five, New jersey

forty-nine. There are in all 1913 facto-
ries, and s1s,s99,5O capital is repre-

1t is not the smiles of a pretty face,
nor the tint of her complexion; nor the
symmetry of her person, nor the costly
dress or decorations, that compose
woman's loneliness. Nor is it the en-
chanting glance of her eye, with which
she darts such luster on the man she
deems worthy of her friendship, that
constitutes her beauty. 1t is her pleas
ing department, her chaste converse
ton, the sensibility and purity of her
thoughts, her affable, open disposition,
her sympathy with those in adversely,
and above all, the humbleness of her
soul, that constitute true loneliness.
