Care Of Meat.Barrels.

Many farmers allow barrels in which
beef. mutton and pork have been kept
in pickle during the winter to become
tainted in the spring, so that they are
of no further use. The brine contains
blood, and the impurities which putrefy
on the approach of warm weather, and
the wood absOrbs the bad Odor pro-
duced. These are in turn absorbed by
the new brine that is placed in the bar
rels the next fall and communicated to
the meat. If proper care is taken with
barrels employed to hold meat they can
be used many years. When the meat
is all taken out the barrels should be
taken from the cellar and the old brine
thrown on dung-heap or employed to
kill weeds in walks. They should then
be well washed but with clean water, a
broom or brush being used to scrub
them thoroughly on the inside They
should next be scalded, the cover firmly
put on to confine the steam SO it will
enter the pores of the wood. After the
barrels become dry some sulphur should
be burned in them, the cover being laid
on the top. The sulphur sprinkled on
shavings may be placed in shallow
dish and burned in the bottom of the
barrel. A more excellent way is to
melt the sulphur in a suitable vessel,
and to draw some long shavings or
strips of cotton cloth through it, and to
hang them in the barrel, setting fire to
the bottom of them. Barrels that have
contained cider may be cleaned BY the
use of cold and hot water. BY rolling
them about it will be brought in con-
tact with all parts of the inside. The
strips of cloth covered with sulphur
may be lighted and let into the bung.
After the barrels are cleaned, dried.
and fumigated the hoops should be
frightened, when they should be
stored in dry place. The covers of
meat barrels should be placed in posi-
ton to keep out dust and insects.
Treated in this manner old barrels will
be as valuable as new ones for preServ.
ing meat and cider.

Nails.

A large dealer in builders hardware
said recently that the demand for
clinch or clout nails and for chisel
pc nted nails had largely increased
within a year, as compared with that
for the ordinary cut nails, and, that
flooring nails with the wedge-shaped
heads were also used in place of the
nails with the flat upset heads. His
reasons were that better work resulted
from the better nails, and there was far
less waste. For the coarseSt purposes
the les first cost of the ordinary cut
nails with the fiat head induced builders
to continue Their use; but he believes
the improved form and better material
of the tough wire and clinch nails
would. in time, drive out the inferior
material and defective form. The
principal advantage of the wedge
shaped head, as in floor nails, is that
the head never breaks off in driving. as it
is only gradual enlargement of the
body of the nal, instead of an upset
across the nail But the chisel point of
the wire nail is its especial merit. as il
cuts a clean passage through the fibers
of the wool for the following of the

and mutilating the fbers, as the blunt

A pasture should also be provided
with a shelter that will protect the
stock from sun and storms Shade

first purpose, excepting in fly time.

son, but why they should leave the tim
Der in blistering. hot day and stand
and fight, the hOrse-hies in an open
fence corner, is ACQUISITION that could
never solve to my own satisfaction. If
there is an old building of any descrip-
ton in the pasture You will see them
huddle into that. A shed with the
sides nearly all open offers just the
retreat needed in fly time, and
also rs refuge in case of sudden
hail-storm or driving rain. Every pas
ture should he supplied with some such
shelter, no matter how cheaply built,
if it but offer the necessary protection.
Posts set in the ground with bosrd
roof laid over makes a very fair shell
ter, and the cost o. such a one is very
slight indeed. E
another way of increasing the value
of a pasture is by dividing it into two
parts and giving the stock a part at =
time. This prevents them from foul
ing over the whole constantly, as they
certainly will do if allowed the whole
range at once. A part is kept freShand
given a chance to get start while the
other portion is being fed. In this way
a change of pasture is thus provided
every ew days, and animals relish this
immensely. Of course this plan in
wolves the construction of an extra
division fence, but it will be found a
profitable outlay. especially where. the
pasture is little scant for the number
of head pastured thereon.-W d. Boyn-

Our Common Schools.

There are some common defects in
our public schools which deserve the
attent on of the parents, for without
their help, the teacher, and even the
august committee are powerless. The
average American Oh Id. especially the
average boy, is altogether too saucy
and careless to become an agreeable
citizen when he arrives at mature years.
The independence and self .reliance
which we rightly esteem as the price
less inheritance won by our forefathers
by their toll, and sacrifice and patriot
ism, is very apt to show itself in the
school-boy as impudent and intolerable
conceit: and when many gather in one
school are serious nuisance. Toillus-
trate the difference between our chill
dren and those of other countries in this
particular, one need only travel over
the Canadian border and visit
the French schools Of the
Canadian French, and if he can
afford time to visit france and Ger
many, he will find the contrast still
greater. In these countries, courtesy
of manner, and respect to age and au-
thority are as universal as the lack OF
them in this country. A visitor will be
greeted with a smile, and a bow or
courtesy. when passing a school-houSe
in play time, but in this country, he
will be, lucky if he escapes insulting
language accompanied with snowballs
or other convenient missiles. %.
If these things are but trifies, they
are straws which show which way the
wind blows. If children were taught
at home to show proper respect to their
parents and other persons older than
themselves. such things would be i'm
possible. We are far too apt to enconr.
age impudence in young children
by laughing at what we call
smart" which is really only pert,
pertness in child Of five years of age
grows into outrageous impudence at ten
or twelve years Children who are
properly taught at home are always
modest and respectful to those older
than themselves, and this modesty
need not in the least interfere with
proper sense of manly independence
and seli-relianee. ~ z&4ns1
At present our schools are in great
danger o. becoming public nuisance=.
schAol-house? Why is it worse than
living near grave-yard? Ghosts do
not annoy people much nowadays, but
We should wish to be delivered from
living near an average modern school
house. In fact, real estate in such To-
calities has only a fraetion of the val
ne it ought to have, if the children
were well taught at home, and then
followed up Mt school by good teachers;
the work, however. must begin at home
to have much value or eifect.-New

Buddhism that is spreading among the
Russians is of a purified form, a ''Eu-
ropeanized Buddhism" as they style it
here. For instance, they do not intend
to part with music. songs, and the the

age to abstain from taking gold and sill

among forbidden things.

Charcoal as Feed for Live Stock.

Charcoal has recently been recon-
mended rs an addition to the food of ami
mails, as it increases their power Of ac-
numulating fat, and promotes the rapid
and healthy production of flesh. This
was recently proved by taking the live
weights of two lots of sheep, and simply
separating them by an ordinary net;
the artificial food, corn and cake, being
carefully weighed out to each lot alike
daily, one pint of charcoal being added
to one lot only. When re-weighed, prior
to selling to the butcher, the increase
in weight was in favor of charcoal by
% per cent. Sanitation causes easy
and completes digestion; and assimila-
ton only can account for these results,
which charcoal alone can accomplish.
The charcoal should be given mixed
with the food, except in urgent cases,
when it may be mixed in water or thin
Cruel, and given as drench. The dose
is one pint to every twenty-five head of
sheep or lambs, one-guarter pint per
head for full-grown cattle, horses or
pigs. half the quantity for young cattle,
and two teaspoonfuls to one dessert
spoonful for young calves, daily, when
suffering from disease, or in i'll condi-
ton. 10 keep in good health, and
fortify against diseases, the dose should
be given two or three times per week,
according to the class of food they are
having, and the state of the atmosphere.
The best plan is to wet quantity of
bran, pollard (malt-combings); mix the
charcoal among it, and then among the
food you give them. For rapid and
healthy fattening of seattle, it should
be used daily among their food.
Charcoal for internal and medicinal
purposes must be pure vegetable char
coal, free from all irritating and injuri-
Gus foreign matter. The charcoal when
coming into the users possession must
be kept perfectly dry. and free from
any ill-smelling surroundings, such as
the vapors of a stable or artificial ma
nures, etc., or it will absorb them, and
thus become septic, and of no medicinal
value. 1t is better kept in closed bin
or tin canister with tight cover

Pastures.

That portion of the farm devoted to
pasturage is no l.'ss important than the
cultivated fields, yet it is often totally
neglected from one years end to an
other, excepting the work of keeping
the fences in repair. Where smooth,
well sodded ground is used for pasture,
no great amount of work is needed 20
keep 1t up in good shape: but such land
seldom gets into pasture, especially in
timber countries. On most farms there
j. rough piece that has n yer been
thoroughly cleared, and that is the
piece that is fixed upon for q pasture;
and it is a very good plan to pasture
such land, for there is nothing that will
subdue the toughness and put it in
shape to pillow as well as close pastur-
Ing But our whole duty to the pas
ture and stock confined demands that
some further work be done. While
cattle. sheep and horses will pick a
living from among the sticks, stones,
brush and logs that cucumber the
Lands, it will be found a piece of eco
nomical management 10 render all the
surface available by picking up and
clearing away such rubbish from off
-she ground. A third more feed may
often be gained in this way, and the
stock enabled TO get about with
ont danger to life and limbs.
Many a valuable colt has been
lost by breaking a leg among the
snags and logs IN a rough pasture.
The loss of feed alone in. one season
would often equal the cost of cleaning
up the field. Farmers don't seem to
figure on this SD long as the land is
pastured, but just as soon as they get
ready to put the field TO some other use,
you will see how quickly it is picked
up, logged and stumprd Is not the
pasture of as much Importance as the
wheat field? To be sure we don't have
to run machinery over its su;fa e, but
there is certainly no use in allowing
third or half its surface to run 10
waste. Sheep NAV have admirable
natural Qualifications for nibbling their
food from almost inaccessible places,
but / fancy they don lay on wool or
fat very fast if they are obliged to eN-
crci>e their faculties to gam livrli-
hood. If the farme: prefers picking
his wool from the bushes instead Of
shearing from the sleeps back, it may
be very good plan 10 encourage the
growth of brush and briers in the
pasture, but must say that it doesn't
look very well to find crop of wool on
the bushes, somewhat resembling a
cotton crop of the South. A farmer
that allows such a state of things in
his pasture year after year can safely
be put down as a bad manager, in that
particular line at least.
If possible, water should be furnished
within the limits of the pasture; for if
they have to depend upon being taken
out 10 water they will go thirsty = good
share of the time. During the long.
