THE very best thing to use In the
hen-house under the roosts, or TO mix
with the contents of the vaults, is q
clear, sharp-cut sand, about such as ma
sons would use to make their mortar.
1t absorbs all the valuable salts of both
liquids and solids, and does not bake or
cake up, and when it is to be used it
will readily yield the fertility from the
hen droppings and vaults to the plant
roots, or to the surrounding soil. where
the roots will find them. Sand contains
no fertilizing properties to any extent,
excepting potash, which Is in the form
of silicate of potash; but the action of
the decomposition of those fertilizers
which are very rich in nitrogenour mat
tiers hberates or makes soluble that pot
ash or part of it. so that it becomes a
very goon fertilizer for all crops, though
more valuable as top-dressing for grass
and small grains, or TO be used in the
hull for corn, than for root crops.

YEARS ago an Inn was Kept at Am

known to laugh. This peculiarly gave
rise to a wager by young man that he
could make mine host laugh. He pro

saluted the landlord thus:
"Good day, Mr.. Warner. How long
have you kept this place, Mr.. Warner?'

"Mr. Warner, won't you make me 6
rum or whisky sour?"

answered.

and lock into it. Thst'll make it som

The drink was made, the young man
tined 1t and choked and coughed. Spit.
ting the first swallow out, he apain ap
pealed to the landlord:
snow woa't you make another. ant
Just keep one eye shut this time, please?'
The landlord, convulsed. broke out
into just one loud guffaw, the first laugt
for a lifetime. Then he invited til,
young man to take a drink "on him.
The wager was won.

For preparing unglazed pottery to
write upon it with ink this method has
lately been invented: A whey is used,
which is obtained by adding a small
quantity of acid to skinned milk, and
separating the precIpItate by filtration.
The plates prepared from white pipe
clay are impregnated with the nitrate
and dried, and then it is quite as easy
to write upon them as upon imp er-
fect'y sized paper. The process is SIM
pie enough.

II has been oil served by Swedish ep-
gineers that the quantity of phosphor-
us in the pig iron manufactured with
charcoal is larger than that in the ore
and fiuxes, even assuming that all of it
had gone into the pig. Jansen found
that when he melted ores in cruc.bles
the metal obtained ran lover in phos-
phorus than the pig obtained from the
same ore. Sarnstron, In 1881, made
some analysis of charcoal which seem
to lead to the conclusion that the exces s
t phosphorus Is due to that species OF
fuel.

DR.. Kaiser described a process oi
pickel-plating by boiling. A bath OF
pure granulated tin, tartar and water Is
heated to the boiling point and small
quantity of red-hot nickel oxide is ad-
ded, which, when dissolved, gives
green color to the liquid over the grains
of tin. Articles plunged into this bath
in a few moments acquire metallic
coating vf nearly pure nickel. Carbon
ate or tartrate Of cobalt added to the
bath gives to the coating light or blu

CLoUTED cream Is made by heating

favored butter. which will not keep
for more than few days. Few persons
who write upon dairy matters seem to
have a night idea of the cause of this
thickening of the cream, and the pecu-
liar quality anu character of the butter
made from 1t. These depend wholly
upon the fact that the albumen in the
milk is coaguIated by the heat and rises
to the top with the cream, and SO adds
to its bulk as well as to Its solidity.
This albumen gives the peculiar flavor
to the butter as well as prevents 1t from
