| ed with kerosene lamps or the fragrance
| from fried salt pork, remove the ceiling,
wash thoroughly with borax, turpentine
and rain water, then hang on clothes
line to dry. After, pulverize and spread
over the pieplant bed for spring wear.
10 remove starch and roughness from
| nat irons, hold the iron on a grin dstone
I for twenty moments or 80, then wipe of
carefully with a rag. To make this ef-
fective the grindstone should be in mo-
ton while the iron is applied. Should
the iron still stick to the goods when in
use spit on it.
To soften water for household purpos-
es put in an ounce of quicklime to a
quantity of water. If it is rot sufficient
use less water or more quicklime. Should
the immediate lime continue to remain
deliberate, lay the water down on the
stone and pound it with baseball bat.
To give relief to a burn apply white Of
an egg. The yolk of the egg may be
eaten or placed on the shirt bosom. as
suits the taste Of the person. If burn
should occur on lady she may omit the

To wash black silk stockings, prepare
a tub of lather, composed of tepid water
and white soap, with little ammonia.
Then stand in the tub until dinner is

If your hands are badly chaIped, wet
them in warm water, rub them all over

Woolen goods may be nicely washed,
If you put half an ox-gall into two gal
Ions of tepid water 1t might be well to
put the goods in the water also If the
mixture is not strong enough put il an
other ox-gall. Should this fail to do
its work put in the entire OK, reservinQ
the tail for soup. The OK gall is COM
paratively useless for soup and would
not be preserved as an article of diet.

KEEPINe EGGs FREsH.-A farmers
wife gives this simple plain for keeping
eggs fresh: 1 saw very good arrange
ment for keeping eggs fresh, at a
friends house, a short time since, and
1t was so simple and practicable that it
ought to be generally known. 1t was
set Of shelves two feet long and eight
inches wide. There were four OF them,
with a space of five inches between the
shelves. They were made OF hard wood
boards, planed, and rouud holes bored
with an inch augeT ran the whole length
three rows of holes on each shelf, and
twelve in each row one shelf would
hold three dozen eggs. The eggs were
set in with the small end down, so that
the yolk could not settle against the
shell. The lady said she had kept eggs
six months in this manner, perfectly
sweet also, that the free circulation OF
air around them was very important
and there was no danger of cracking
the shetland | noted it in my mind as
thing we'll worth remembering.

A DIsCoyERY.-A new way of dress
ing wounds, which was discovered by
accident, has been introduced in the
clinic Of Prof. Esmarc at Kiel by Dr.
Neuberg. Two years ago there appear
ed at the clinic labOreT who had sus-
tanned compound fracture of the fore
arm eight or ten days before, with con-
siderable laceration- He had got a
eomrade to surround the whole forearm
at once with thick paste of peat mould,
on which was laid a rough splint of
wood. When he came to the clinic he
was In good general health, and on clear
ing off the mould the Doctor found the
wound to be healing beautifully, with
out any sign of suppuration. DR.. Neu-
berg was led by this experience to inves-
tigate the properties Of peat mould, and
his conclusion is that it is peculiarly
valuable for dressing wounds, chiefly
because Of its great power Of absorbing
the products of decomposition.

A PROTECTION FROM RABBITs.-A
correspondent of the Gardeners Monthly
says A few years ago ] was greatly an
noyed with rabbits barking my young
apple trees. To prevent their depreda-
tions l made ropes of hay. These /
wound around the trunks of the trees
from the roots to the first limbs in the
fall. / left them on all the following
summer, and when I removed them in
the fall l found the bark fresh and heal
thy and free from blotches. I repeated
the operation for some years, and in
consequences have healthy. vigorous
trees, free from fungus and ali disease,
and yielding an abundance of fruit.
The process is not only good for protect
ing the trees from rabbits, but also to
protect the bark from the cold winds of
winter and the hot sun in summer.

SEED CORN-A WARNING.

In the spring of 1879 the farmers over
a large portion of the corn belt found IL
extremely difficult to get stand of corn
owing to lack of vitality in the seed .
and after the first, and in MANY cases
the second planting had failed 70 corne
resource was had to corn of TT which
was found to be uninjured and those
who were so fortunate as to have old
corn on hand were able to sell ont at
fancy prices, the farmers going ten and
twenty miles to get seed from a crib of
gooo, Old corn, and paying for It from
Two dollars or more per bushel,
In 1881 the same state of affairs exist
ed and as these seasons followed two
winters OF exceptional severity, the the
ory became generally accepted that the
loss of vitality was caused by the occur
renee of extreme cold before the corn
had become fully dried ont. In the lat
ter season especially, this low temp5ra-
ture occurred so early in the season that
corn which had been saved expressly for
seed, being husked early and thrown in
thin layers in dry lofts, was nevertheless
so Injured that but a small per cent, of
it would grow.
IhlS fall the corn crop is unusually
late, owing to the unfavorable weather
or the spring, and should we have such
an early setting in Of winter as we wit
messed two years ago, there can be no
doubt that much of it will be caught be-
fore it is fully matured Moreover,
judging from the experience of the past
few years, we may reasonably expect
early and severe cold during the coming
winter. Should the experience of 1879
and 1881 he rePeated next season the
amount of loss entailed will be greater
than it was then, because then, in both
cases. we had comparatively good crops
to fall back on, while in this case the
present high prices have undoubtedly
drawn nearly the whole of the small
crop of 1881 into the market,
In view of these facts We would urge
upon our farmer readers to select their
seed corn early in the season. and then
not to depend upon curing it in the or
binary way, but either to hang it in the
smoke house or kitchen, and subject it
to artificial heat. or to place it in some
part of the house where it may be pro-
tected from extreme cold. In doing so.
it must also be borne in mind that too
great a degree of moist heat is as dan
gerOus as cold, since il the corn is allow
ed to mould its vitality will be destroy

TIE SUN.
.NEW YORK. 1883


More people have read THE SUN Iuring tie year

side of the earth has been bought and read In any
year by so many men and women.
We are credibly Informed that people buy, read,
and like TIE sun tor the following reasons,
among others
Because It's news columns present in attractive
form and with the greatest possible accuracy

the deeds and misdeeds, the philosophy, the nOta-
BILE folly, the solid sense the improving nonsense
all the news of the busiest world at present re-
vclving In space.
Because people have learned that in its remarks
concern ng persons and affairs The SUN makes a
practice Of telling them the exact truth to the best
its ability three hundred and sixtyhve days in the
year. before election as well as after, about the
whales well as about the small fish. in the face
of dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval. The SUN has abso-
lutey no purposes to serve, save the information
OF irs readers and the furtherance of the common
Beaause 1t is everybody's newspaper. No man
is so aumble that 1BR Sun is Indifferent to his
welfare and his rights. No man is so rich that he
can allow injustice to be done him No man no
association Of men, is powerful enough to be ex-
empt from the strict application of its principles
Because in politics it has fought for a dozen
years, without inteTmission and sometimes almost
alone among newspa pers, the night that has re-
suited in the recent overwhelming popular verdict
against Robesonlsm and for honest government
No matter what party is in power, The SUN
stands and will continue to stand like rock for
the interests of the people against the ambition OF
bosses, the encroachments of monOpOlists, and the
dishonest Scnenes OF puDnC rODDers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by our
friends. One man holds that 1HR sun Is the best
igious newspaper ever published, because its
Christianity is undiluted with cant. Another
holds that # is the best Republican newspaper
printed, because it has already whipped half OF
the rascals out of that party. and is preceding
against the other half with undiminished viEor.-
A third believes 1t to be the best magazine Of gen
erai literature in existence becausr its readers
misc nothing worthy of notice that is c1rTe1t In
the world Of thought. So every friend of TIE sun
discovers one Of the many sides that appeals with
p articular force to his individual liking.

that IN 1888 Il is little better than ever before.

Farm Yard Manure.

DR.. Atkin, Chemist to the Royal Agrienl-
tural Society of Great Britain says: The
great difference between farm yard dung
and artificial manures is its geat bulk and
the large quantity of organic matter it
contains. The effects of short dung upon
light soils and of long dung upon heavy
soils are to improve greatly the physical
character of each. Organic matter, though
it is not directly absorbed by the roots of
such plants as form our crops, has important
functions to perform in the soil. 1t forms
a soft kindly bed for the roots to ramify
in, and i. is sufficiently retentive of m DISTURB
to prevent the crop from suffering much
from the drouth. Our forefathers had great
faithin organic matter, and though chemistry
has shown that they were wrong in
supposing that it formed directly the food
of plants; yet as it contains about nitrogen
enough to form one ounce of ammonia,
as the carbonic acid formed by its decompo-
sition has the power of setting free the
constituents of the various minerals in our
soil, and as it is, as I said before, mechan-
ically useful, we must not be led by the
supporters of the mineral theory" to under
