Where the House, Breeds.

From the Germantown Telegraph.
AS "ay-time" approaches, every
housekeeper wonders where and how
the increasing swarms Of pests multiply
so rapadly. The eggs, merely whitish
specs to the unaided eye, are laid in lit
tie agglutinated piles in warm manure,
or in decomposing vegetation, especially
that about our stables and barn yards.
From eighty to 100 are laid at Il time
and probably 1T three Or four different
Intervals by the same fly, though OH this
point we have no exact data. Within
twenty-lour hours in summer they hatch
into tootless naggsg,ots, which, after rioting
in filth till their tender skins
seem ready to burst from reple-
ton, become fulfilled in less than a
week, and descending into the earth, or
.sheltering under some old board, con-
tract to brown, shining objects, rounded
at both ends, and technically known as
puraria Within the darkness of this
hardened skin profound changes rapid
iy take place, and the insect passes
through the pupa to the perfect state,
and finally, in about five days, the an
terror end Of the puparium is pushed Off,
and the fly quickly crawls out At first
its parts are pale and soft, and it's wings
are crnmp1cd and useless. but these
soon expand, and suddenly, without
practice or teaching. the new-hedged fly
wings its way to your table to mock your
displeasure-to share your repast.

Raising; Calves on SKINNED MILK
Meat vs.. Flesh.

Prairie Farmer.
10 make tho greatest quantity Ut the
best meat for the feed consumed should
be the effort of every Ineligible breed

best is the one for profit. A firm but
elastic skin, mellow and Of medium
thickness, indicates good meat VOL

on blueberry fat, indicates interior flesh

utfal, and only Il moderate quantity Of

flesh, and not those running to outside
The back, loin and ribs are choice parts,
then the rump, next the thighs, then
the shoulders, and last the neck and
head are the inferior parts Observ;.-
ton Should give the feeder
good indication of the
value Of the ANIMAL that is,
the general contour, size,: length,
breadth, thickness, general tineness OF
head; body aud limb. The pring of the
rib, the manner in which the ribs are
brought close to the hip bone, and the
breadth Of the buttocks, are the salient
features in all animals that are to pro-
auce good meat The eye should be full,
mild and bright The head small, but
wide between the eyes, and with the
horns fine. A slab-sided, tlull-eyed, pa
per-skinned, harsh-haired beast never
pays for its feed, and soft, messy hair
never goes with such an animal. The
time has long since passed when tallow
was sought in either Il bullock or
sheep. Why? The days of talloW can
dies are passed. Hence it is the cheap
est part Of bullock. There is vet too
much Of it in the average steer. While it
is the fact that the incest discrimination
is necessary to Judge of the actual value
OF an animal by the eye and touch, it is
no less true that any farmer may, by
careful Discrimination and experience,
soon come to be measrr,bly correct in
his estimate Of the animal he is buying
or rearing. It will pay to SO educate
himself if he expects to succeed either
as Il breeder or feeder

The following hints about the best
method Of preserving ferns will interest
those who have made So many failures
with this hardest Of all plants to ll,an
age: "ln the first place, only three
kinds Of fer,l>, may be pressed with sat
isfactory results--the evergreen, maid
enlliir and Hartford fern. In gather
ing, take Il long basket. and line the bot
ton, and sides thickly with fresh leaves
en- ferns, and cover in the same way
When the collection is complete. This
is to prevent their willing. If carried
in the hands only few nulntnts, they
may be spoiled. Press immc diately, or
,,}ate in the~ce44ar until ready to do 50.
If wiIted, they may be freshened by en-
tirely immersing in water, but it is like.
" to injure the color. If they were
wet, dry before pressing. July and Az
gust is the most favorable time for gath
cring, as they are then at their best. In
pressing the indispensable requisites to
Il good result are Il sufficient quantity Of
paper. a perfectly even pressure, and a
should he ofasoft, porous nature and un-
glazed Blotting paper is considered
best, but newspaper will do very we'll
Books are most convenient If they can be
found Of sufficient size and unglazed. If
paper is used fold it to the desired size
and be careful to make the edges perfectly
even. Place the first paper u Jon level
surface, then layer of ferns face down,
then about fifteen sheets of paper, and
50 continue till the package is completcd
T. over.W it'll smooth bit Of board ofsthe
samessize, and place asheavy weightup
on it, rocking it i'll every direction until
the ferns are perfectly smooth Remove
the heavy weight, and substitute one Of
perhaps ten or twelve pounds Be sure
that the pressure is exactly equal, for: If
the package tits in the least the ferns
will be@spoiled. : If the weight is too
sheaVy oratoo little parers1s used, they
will tlun'sbroWn; if the weight is not
heavy enough they will be rough, and If
there is any inequality they will be
smooth in. some places and rough in
others. - Tree or foW weeks Will be re-
quired for the drying unless they are
GciAtnged to fresh papers, If this is done
they mnst not be"eSp osed to the air 1.
moment, OF they Will curl past recovery.
If perfectly dry, they will remain
smooth. The only fault of ferns is their
tendency to curl from changes Of atmos.
pf,ere. This may 10 remelied, in a
great measure at least, by waxing after
they are dried. This is = process ofsomc
difficulty. Lay I he ferns lace down up
Oh the paper, rub Il bit of yellow bees
enough to melt it; pass this very quickly
over the FERN. OF course the wax must
