THE IMPORTANCE OF VEdETABLEs.-
The vegetable can extract from
his food all the principles necIs ary for
the growth and support of the body ,as
well as tor the pr )duotion of heat and
orce, provided that he selects veg
etables which contain all the essential
o ements named. But he must for this
purpose consume the best cereals
wheat or oats; or the legumes-beans,
peas, or lenJlls; or he must swallo v
and digesS large weight OF vegetable
matter of less nutritious value, and,
there ore, at least containing one ele-
ment in large excess In order 70 obtain
all the elements he needs. Thus the
Irishman requires for his support ten
or eleven pounds of potatoes daily,
which cont lin chilly starch, OF which
he 90 isumes superfluous Qulntity,
very little nitrogen and scarcely any
fat; hence he obtains when he can
some buttermilk or bacon, or her
ring, to supply the deficiency. The
Highlander, living mainly on oatmeal,
requires a much smaller weight; this
grain contains not only the starch but
much nitrogen, and far amount of
fat, although not quite sufficient for
this purpose, which is usually sup
piled by adding milk or q little bacon
TO his diet. On the other hand, the
man lives chiefly or largely on flesh
and eggs as we'll as bread obtains pre-
cisely the same principles, but served
in concentrated form, and weight
of about two or three pounds OF such
food is full equivalent to the Irish
mans ten or eleven pounds OF potatoes
and extras.

A Berlin fnventor has patented a new
kind of cloth, which eonsits principally
or entirely of sponge. The sponges
are first thoroughly beaten with a
ham mer, in order 10 crush all the mia
eral and vegetable impurities SO that
they can be easily washed out. They
are then dried and pared, like potato
with sharp knife, the partings being
sewed together. The fabric thus OBJ
tanned is free from all the danger which
sometimes arises from the absorption OF
poisonous dyes into the system; Ii alb
serbs without checking the perspira-
tlon, 80 as to diminish the danger of
taking cold; 1t Is bad conductor, and
therefore helps TO maintain uniform
surface temperature; 1t can be more
readily cleansed than the ordinary
wOolen garments; Its fiexibllity dimin-
ishes the liability of chadng; the ease
with which it can be employed In shoes,
stockings, underwear hat Innings and
Otherarticleso of clothing, seems: likely to
make it especially useful as a protec-
tion against rheumatic and pulmonary
attacks.

The prevailing opinion among many
that petroleum is Of recent discovery,
and that its production Is confined 10
this country alone, is a very great mis-
take. From indisputable records a
spring exists in one Of the Ionian
Islands that has yielded pet roleum for
more than two thousand years. We
read that the wells OF Armenia, on the
banks Of the lara, were formerly used
Tor lighting the city of Genoa. At
Baku, near the Caspian Sea, In Persia,
springs Of petroleum have been known
from the earliest time, and from 9th r
instances and data we might give, its
use would seem well nigh coeval with
civilization.

|. Croya commends. for atm

M. Crova commends, for atmospheric
purposes, NJ. Prazmowski's polarizer,
which is Nicol, with faces normal to the
axis of prism, the two halves of which
are joined with linseed oil. 1t requires
large pieces of spar, and the Joining is long
and difficult, but there are several advan-
tages. Thus the layer of oil (unlike Can
ada balsam) causes hardly any loss of
light; its index, '485, being nearly equal
to the extraordinary index of spar, the
polarized field is limited on one side, as in
Nicol's, where the total reflection of the
ordinary ray commences, by red band !;
bnt the second limit, corresponding 10 to-
tai reflection of the extraordinary ray, is
thrown out of the field of vision the an
gular value of the polarized field is thus
increased. The increase of field, the an
gular separation of the only colored band,
and the direction of the bases, normal to
the axis, are qualities to be appreciated in
certain cases.

Some of the French physicians have
used TO much advantage, it appears,
the carbolate of ammonia for mallg-
nant pustule or charbon. The article
is applied first as a caustlc, and then
administered internally, a dose of ar
teen TO thirty grains In twenty-four
hours. In one in tance, according to
l. Nature four butchers were attacked
with malignant pustule, derived from
infec ted cattle; two were taken to the
hospital, and on being treated with
car1olate of ammonia, were entirely
cured In reasonable short space OF
time, while others, who were treated
at home by the ordinary methods, sue
cumbed TO the maladY.

Prof. Schneltzler, assuming that the
color of flowers is due to the combina-
tion Of different chemical elements in
their tissues, mas shown by experiment
that when an alcoholic extract OF the
color is made it Is enough to add to it
an acid or alkaline substance to cause
it to exhibit any of the colors which
plants present. Flowers of the peony ,
for example, give violet liquid in
alcohol; il salt of sorrel is added to this
liquid 1t will turn pure red; soda pro-
duces, according to the quantity that is
added, violet, blue or green.

GRINDING CEREAL GRAINs.-Grind-
Ing renders all our cereal grain more
digestible, by reducing the size of the
particles TO be saturated and digested
by the gastric juice. The whole kern
els of corn are not always fully pene-
trated by the gastric juice, and hence
many OF them pass cattle undigested.
When corn is ground it should be
mixed with coarse fodder, SO as to
prevent its adhering in mass In the
stomach, and to insure its remastica-
tiOn and insaliYatiOn.

COMP osITING is the art of mixing or
ganic matter, such as straw, muck,
dead animals, etc, that must undergo
decomposition before they become av-
ailable as plant food, with inorganic
matter that will absorb and retain the
valuable gases that the organic matter
would otherwise let pass into the air
and thus be lost. Such mixture must
be kept moist, but not exposed to rams
that would wash away the valuable Sc
luble salts. Stable manure and muck
make an excellent basis for compost
heap, with which ashes, leaehed and
fresh lime, weeds (not in seed). waste
matters, etc, can be mixed.

LICE ON SToCK.-Vermin Of some
kind very frequently infest domestic
animals; they are mostly of the louse
type: small parasitic animals that must
be removed by the application of some
1nsecticide. A number OF substances
have been used to a greater or less ex-
tent, Of which few arem mentioned be-
low: One pound of tobacco and six
ounces Of b0rax hotel in TWO quarts OF
water, TO which soft soap enouS his ad-
ded TO make thick paste, has proved a
good vermln salve, A mixture Of car.
Dolic acid and SOFT soap in the proper
tion OF one 70 four makes compound
easy to apply, and very etfectual.
Shortly after, the parts to which the
soap mixture has been applied should
be washed with pure water and nom
drying oil rubbed on. Oil of turpen-
tine and hard oil, equal parts, with a
little carbollc acid, Is perhaps the most
convenient mixture TO make, and etfec-
tual in Its application. Animals that
are affected with vermin need better
care and higher feeding in order to
overcome the drain that those para
sytes make upon the system.

AFTER THE BUTTER COMEs.-At the
churn comes in our most radical need
of reform. How TO free our butter from
the buttermilk and in doing SO keep
from working the butter into a grain
less, waxy mass? For myself, | am q
strict advocate OF the brine system of
gathering and working the butter. AS
soon as the cream begins to break add
gallon of strong brine, the colder 1t
Is the better, slowly work the dasher
until the butter has assumed the ap-
pearanee of hiTd-shot, then draw off
the buttormilk; cold water should now
be turned into the butter and tie dash
er occasionally worked, but not enough
TO gather the butter. lt Is better TO
change the water once, making the
second eaker brine. Draw this off
and take the butter out into the butter
worker, roll 1t very gently and only
enough TO force the remaining water
out. The mass will then be found TO
be Of uniform color, free from specks
or streaks, and all the traces of butter-
milk will be wanted. Tnen salt three
fourths of an ounce to the POUND, US
ing fine salt inVariab bly,, as the sharp
crystals cut the z .obules of butter ard
break down the grain. 1t is quite a
mistaken notion that salt preserves the
butter. There is no chemical union of
salt and butter. Salt merely occupies
the space between the grains, and If
moisture or buttermilk exists, it turns
TO bMne and keeps the buttermilk, but
never the butter ,and at a certain stage
salt or no salt, the buttermilk under
goes q change and the butter Cd be-
comes rancid. The butter is now set
away in the bowl TOR twenty-four
hours, the temperature being kept as
low as 57 degrees, when iU is again
placed in the worker and gently rolled
again, tribe more salt added, and
without eyer coming at any Stage In
contact with the hands-put into the
packing.
