1T is said that piece of zinc placed
on the live Goals, will effcctually clean
out stove-pipe, the vapor thus pro-

White leaves and variegated white
and green leaves indicate degeneracy in
plant. A branch with leaves entirely
white is no longer capable of propaga-
ton; it is in the last stage of its exist

Within radius of twenty miles of
Heppncr, Umatilla County. Ore, there
are over $1,000 sheep. 1t is safe to as
sumo that these will average at least six
pounds of wool apiece, or 100000
pounds, which at an average price of
twenty cents per pound yields the hand
some sum of $2i0.000 year.
The best season for transplanting
evergreens is from April to June.
Spruces are very easy to transplant, and
If the roots are kept from drying and
are protected from the air, and well
spread and surrounded with the fresh
soil, they can be moved without any
loss whatever.-M y Times.
A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman advises blowing for barley in
the spring. If, he says, you plow in the
fall, il gives the thistles chance to get
started before the barley, but where you
plow in spring, weeds and thistles do
not have rs good chance. For n heavy
yield sow on black soil.
Never ro asst meat, says Miss Par
loa, without having rack in the pan.
If meat is put into the water in the pan
it becomes soggy, and loses its flavor
A meat-rack costs but trifle, and the
improvement in the looks and flavor of
piece of meat is enough to pay for it
in one roasting.--M Y. Examiner.
Salt salmon should be soaked in
cold water at least twenty-four hours
before it is cooked, and the water should
be changed several times. Boil it in
plenty OF water, with some black pepper
kernels. When done put it in a jar and
cover it with vinegar diluted with some
of the liquor in which the salmon was
boiled. 1t should be kept closely COW
cred, and will be ready for use in few
days. Boston Transcript.
When the skin is not well cleaned
and brushed, or when the animal is not
in perfect health, a scurfy, scaly sub
stance will gather on the hide. This
may be removed by cliding and brush
ing and by giving the animal some oily
and laxative medicine or food, which
will encourage and increase the circula-
ton and the perspiration from the skin.
Give your heifers quart of linseed-
meal, stepped in warm water, and lit
tie salt added, daily for few weeks, and
you will find they will improve.
The damage done to pastures and
meadows by the grub of the May-bug
is often very great, and the only effect
i've protection the farmer has against its
depredations is through the agency of
the despised and hated crow. AT least
so thinks correspondent of the An,eri-
can Agriculurist, who makes an earn
est plea on behalf of these sable deni-
zens of the air. The crow, he says, has
great skill in detecting the presence of
the destructive grub, and if allowed to
multiply, would soon eXterminate the
pests, or at least reduce their numbers
SO much that they would do no serious
damage. A few hills of corn in spring
time is small loss compared to the grass
crop of a whole farm destroyed by
| grubs. .I..
