Boiling Water and Melting Lead In
Paper.

Take a piece of paper and fold it up,
as schoolboys do, into a square box
without lid. Hang this up 10 walk
ing-stick by four threads and support
the stick upon books or other conve-
nient props. Then lamp or taper
must be placed under this dainty cal
dron. In few minutes the water will
boil. The only fear is lest the threads
should catch fire and let the water spill
into the lamp and over the table. The
flame must therefore not be too large.
The paper does not burn because it is
wet; and even if it resisted the wet it
would not burn through, because the
heat impaired 10 it on one side by the
flame would be very rapidly conducted
away by the water on the other.
Another experiment of a similar ma
ture, but perhaps even more striking. is
as follows: Twist up the edges Of
common playing card or other bit of
cardboard so as to fashion it into light
tray. On this tray place a layer of
small shots OF bits of lead and heat il
over the flame of. a lamp. The lead
will melt, but the card will not burn.
1t may be charred little round the
edges, but Immediately below the lead
it will not be burned, ,Vfor here again
the lead conducts of the heat on one
side as fast as it is supplied on the 9TH
er.-Nature.

The Rhubarb or Pie.Plant.

An inquirer in an adjoining county
wants to know how to grow this plant.
This is easy information to furnish. In
fact, rhubarb is SO readily grown and
kept growing in the same bed for so
many years that no one who has even q
mite of garden should be without o
little bed of it. 1t is really the pie
plant" as it is the first thing to grow IN
the garden that pie can be made of,
and hence comes very acceptably. As
q sauce, too, or side-dish, it is excellent.
It is easiest grown from the roots, which
all seed-stores have for sale, and it
comes q year earlier. Seed, however,
can be sown in the early spring, and
when once taken firm root thin out to
about three feet square, In after years,
when the stalks not cut of for use show
signs of going to seed, cut of the tops.
We have a small bed that has supplied
us year after year without being dis
turbed, except to cultivate among it for
some fifteen to twenty years.-Gern'an-
tos0n Telegraph. -E

The Splint In the Horse.

1t is well l-known to all owners oi
horses that there is what may be called
a tumor, which ut first is callous and
afterwards becomes bony, which some.
times grows upon the horses leg. the
base resting upon the line of union OF
the shank-bone and the splint- bone,
which frequently causes the horse to 60
lame-indeed almost invariably when il
invades the knee-joint. and which is
frequently beyond the reach of the far.
rier to cure or remove. A short time
ago. however, farmer, who appeared
to be familiar with the ailment of the
horse, informed us that he used reme-
dy for it which was completely success
full with him; ard having obtained the
ingredients in the belief that the Oil
ment might be of service in simild
cases, we append them as follows: OF
of amber, oil of spike, spirits of turpen-
tine. Mix we'll and apply twice a day,
and grease with little fresh or unsalt-
ed lard; or, WHAT'S better, the narrou
from an uncooked beef-bone. 1t will
make the parts sore and it will run"
q little, but each one must be his own
Judge in the frequency of the applica-
ton after it becomes somewhat sore

Remedies for the Clover Midge.

Professor Comstock. Entomologist of
the Department of Agriculture, in his
late report devotes a few pages to the
clover midge. After describing and
giving its history he remarks:
No remedies have been proposed ex!
cept that Professor Riley says: " If the
injuries of this insect should become Sc
rious the clover-seed raiser will be
obliged to abandon for a series of years
the growth of this crop, as in no other
way are we likely to be able to affect
the multiplication of the enemy" We
hardly think, however, that the case
will prove as desperate as this. In New
York State it is the custom to cut clover
twice in the season; once from June 20
to July 10, when the clover is in full
bloom, for hay alone, and again in the
latter part of September, or from that
time till the LIST of November, depend
ing upon the time of cutting the first
crop, for seed. Now as we have shown
under the head of number of broods,
the great majority of the first brood of
maggots attain their full growth about
the latter part of June, and leave the
heads to burrow into the ground to
transform. From this fact we readily
draw the conclusion that were the first
crop of clover cut in early June the
bulk of the first brood would be de-
stroyed, and at the expense of slight
reduction in his crop Of hay the farmer
would enormously increase the pros
poets of his crop of seed. The more
universally this is practiced, the better
of course will be the results to each,
and care should be taken to cut at the
same time any clover that may be grow
ing wild in fence corners, by roadsides
or elsewhere. The time for cutting in
order to destroy the most larvae will, of
course, vary with the locality and also
with the character of the season, wheth-
er cold or warm; hence the importance
of the farmer making himself perfectly
familiar with the midge in all its forms,
with its manner of work and of keep
ing a sharp lookout during late spring
for the first larvae. If this remedy is
thoroughly tried we feel sure it will be
the means of reducing the number of
the midoes.

Houses Warm and Cheap.

Having erected balloon frame and

firm foundation. nail boards TO the foot
of the studs outside and in, not driving
the nails so that they cannot be readily

with mixture of one part lime to six

larger diameter than the width of the
studs or the space between the boards
nailed to them--and so continue to do,

nigA~UD>next morning the nails
may be drawn, and the boards raised
and nailed on again if the weather has
been warm and dry, as the mortar by
that time will have set, 80 as not to
need their support; if the weather has
been damp = longer time will be re-
quired. Continue in this way until q
height has been reached equal at least
to that of the first story. Next nail
strips of lath to the studs on the out
side, insert the door and window
frames, and proceed to side up the
house. A cheap, warm and durable

fencing, matched and nailed on with
the tongues up.
