HOME AND FARM.

A correspondent of the Western
Farmer XII lie | "millions of weeds" in the
cornfield by narrowing twice; the first
time couple of days after planting and
again about week later.
OF the 42,O00,O00 sheep in the
United States, it is estimated that fully
three -fifth5 are of fine-wool lineage,
mostly Merinos. In long woods and
medium woods the great English mutton
breeds lead the world.
according to correspondence of the
Farmers s AdUocate, stock readily acquire
taste for prickley comfrey, if it is CIV
en- before they get bite of fresh grass !;
pigs are very fond of it; if fed to milch
cows the butter will have ssrather pink
COLOR" but it does not affect the taste.
Graham cookies are good at lunch
with cup of tea. Take two cups of
sugar, one cup of sour cream, half q
teaspoonful Of soda; mix quickly; roll
rather thin, and bake in a moderate
oven. Possibly the inexperienced cook
needs be told that Graham flour must
be cooked longer than wheat Hour
Chicago Journal.
-Gooseberry tarts may take the place
of pie as the last course at plain dim
ner. Stew the gooseberries till the skins
crack and are tender, sweeten them,
and when cold pour into little shells OF
pastry. You can make and bake the
pastry while the fruit is stewing, or II
YOU wish to serve them warm, bake all
together.-N. Y. Post.
TO grow strawberry plants in pots,
sink small flower pots filled with rich
soil under the ends of the runners and
hold them there with stone or weight
of any kind. A wire in the shape of a
hair pin is as good as anything to pin
them down. Soon Gn three weeks) the
little pots will be filled with roots and
the plants may be set in the new beds,
BY thumping them out of the pots.--
Rural NeW Yorker.
early apples for home use alone IS
| the lesson from the experience of every
year. The practice is now prevailing
of storing the fruit for winter in bulk
large bins or cribs in precisely the man.
ner of storing potatoes. 1t is found to
keep better than in barrels. Russets,
however, are an exception, as they are
liable to wither if expo sed to the air.
Neither is dry storage cellar now con-
sidered desirable. Late experience is
proving damp cellar, with low, even
temperature, the best storageroom for
keeping fruit.-Maine Farmer.
A county agricultural society may
offer premiums for the winner of a
horse-race to be held on the grounds
during the continuance of its annual
fair. And an agreement by county
agricultural society to pay a certain
sum as premium for the horse winning
a race held at its annual fair is not
against public policy. And an action
m ay be maintained for such premium by
one becoming entitled thereto at such
race. Offering premium is not bet

A Poisoned Thread.

A dressmaker admitted into the Leeds
Dispensary was found to have dis
tinct blue line on her gums, with sim
ultaneous symptoms, such as furred
tongue, inflammation of the lips, and
general debility-all signs pointing to
probability of poisoning by lead. The
doctor in attendance on her for some
time failed to discover the source, and
was beginning to think the blue line had
been caused in some other way, when
he accidentally learned from a mer-
chant that silken thread, being sold by
weight, and not by length, is sometimes
adulterated with sugar of lead. He then
questioned the patient, and she in
formed him that it had been common
practice with her, when at work, to
hold silk, as well as other kinds of
thread, in her mouth, and that she had
done this the more readily with silk,
inasmuch as it often had sweet taste.
This characteristic is sure Indication
of the presence of lead, and all thread
possessing it should either be rejected
or used with caution. 1t will be found
that the silk thread of the best makers
is tasteless, whereas some inferior
threads are sweet.--Hoasshold Words,
Huntsville gazette., 1882-08-12
The Process Of Solar Printing.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has adopted process of copying plans
and outlines so simple and yet so effec-
tive as to have an important bearing on
all the methods of engraving, litho-
graphing, photography, and even draw
ing as at present conducted. 1t IS what
is known as the ''blue print process, J"
and is sort of easy photography, by
means of which mere child may copy
in the most perfect and exact manner
any object whatever, the lines of which
can be embraced in the dimensions OF a
large pane of window-glass, for in
stance. Larger outlines can be copied,
but REQUIRE more care and a little more
apparatus.
A piece of pure, unlimited paper is
taken and made s'sensitive" by means
of chemical wash, consisting OF l IA
ounces of red prussiate Of potash and
7-S ounces of citric iron and ammonia,
dissolved in 16 ounces OF water. This,
when applied to the paper in a dark
closet by means of broad cloth-brush,
gives peculiarly rich, glistening, yel-
low surface. This paper when dry is
ready for printing If at this stage a
fern leaf is taken or few sprays of
grass or feather or any drawing ex-
ecuted on translucent material, such as
onion-skin paper, it may be perfectly
copied in every minute detail within the
space of four or five minutes. The OBJ
ject is simply laid on the paper and a
piece of glass put over it to hold it in
position and then exposed to the meri-
dian sun. The yellow paper then turns
rapidly to a dull blue, then to light
gray, whereupon, at the expiration OF
about three minutes, it is withdrawn.
But one thing remains to be done; the
sensitive paper is given bath in pure
water, and instantly perfect copy OF
the fern leaf, grass, or drawing appears
on the blue surface of the paper, in
white. as if traced by hand. The phil
osophv of the process is that the black
lines of the drawing or the filaments OF
the grass or fern are opaque, and con-
sequently refuse admittance to the light,
which operates upon the open, sensitive
spaces, causing them to undergo a
chemical change. AS utilized by rail
roads, iron companies, ship-builders and
architects and artists, however, in mul-
tiplying their many maps and plans and
even circular letters, the process be-
comes a little more complicated. In
stead of merely placing the design to be
printed over the sensitive sheet and
leaving the rest to the light, large glass
frames, with wooden lids, are used, in-
side of which the drawing is placed,
face downward, and covered with the
sensitive paper. The frame is then re-
versed, leaving the plan exposed to the

In certain cemetery is a curious
trio of graves-those of man and his
two wives. On the gravestone to the
right was carved hand pointing to the
center, with the inscription: "He was
mine" The stone to the left had also
hand directed toward the middle
mound, with the words: "He was mine

of the "lord" himself, and upon the
headstone were carved two hands,
reaching in either direction asif to clasp
the other two. Above them were the
significant words: "They were both
