ONE ounce of salicylic acid is sufficient
to preserve barrel of cider, that is, to
keep it from fermenting and becoming
sour.
A SMALL cup of warm milk containing
a teaspoonful Of lime-water may be given
frequently in cases of "bowel COM
| plant"
THERE is nothing better for infamed
| eyes than to battle them with solution
of salt and water. Make the solution
weak at first, gradually increasing the
amount of salt.
To REMOVE acid stains from garments:
Chloroform will restore the color OF
garments where the same has been de-
stroyed by acids. When the acid has
accidentally destroyed OF changed the
color of the fabric, ammonia should be
applied to neutralize the acid.
To PREPARE food for mocking-birds,
mix together two parts corn meal, two
parts pea meal and one part moss meal;
add a little melted lard, but not sufficient
to make the mixture too greasy, and
sweeten with molAsses. Fry in frying
pan one-haif hour, stirring constantly
and taking care not to let.it burn. This
makes it keep well. Put it in a covered
jar. The moss meal is prepared by dry
ing and grinding the imported German
moss seed.
In Reimann's process for rendering
cloth waterproof the fabric is passed
slowly by machinery through a tank
divided into three compartments, the
first containing warm solution of alum,
the second q warm solution of lead
acetate and the third pure water, which
is constantly renewed. The cloth on
passing from the latter is brushed and
beaten to remove the salt adhering to
the surface, and finally hot-pressed and
brushed. In this case lead sulphate is
deposited on the fbers.
PERSONS with weak lungs should read
aloud daily, and take plenty of exercise
IN the open air. They should also live
generously, and rise and retire at reg.
ular hours. STOPPING postures should be
avoided, and when reading they should
sit up erect. When walking keep the
head up, and the shoulders thrown back.
If confined to the house at any time,
walk the floor with the arms crossed be-
hind the back. When in the open air
take, as often as you can without fatigu-
ing yourself, long breaths. We have
known many persons with weak lungs
to be much benefited by following these
simple directions.
The question Of storing eggs was
discussed at an Iowa convention, and it
was conceded by all that cold storage,
temperature 40 to 40 deg, kept Uniform,
with eggs packed properly or In cases,
Will keep in good condition from six to
nine months but they must be used
soon after being taken out of the cold
storage, as they soon spoil. Eggs be-
come musty from being packed in bad
material will become musty in cases,
as change in temperature from lower
to higher causes the eggs to sweat and
paper to become moist and faint the
eggs. Well dried oats year old are the
best for packing. Eggs become injured
by Earring in shipping, by mixing.
Fresh eggs mix worse than those kept in
cold storage. Eggs held in cold storage
in the West should be shipped In refrig-
orator cars in summer. Eggs will keep
thirty days longer if stood on the little
end than in any other position must be
kept In an even temperature and pure
atmosphere. Eggs laid on the side at
tach to the shell, and are badly injured.
To prevent imposition as to the fresh
ness of eggs the egg gatherers should
candle them when they get them from
the farmers. Eggs keep better in the
dark than in the light.
