A recent English invention consists of
black lead, such as is used for polishing
stoves and for other uses, combined
with turpentine, water, and sugar, or
saceharine matter, and the proportions
which have been found to answer well
are, to each pound by weight of black
lead, enc gill of turpentine, one gill of
water, and one ounce of sugar; but
these proportions may be varied. and in
some cases all the ingredients are not

There is a great deal of iIlegitimate
discriminate kissing of babies and little
children is a habit much to be depre-
Gated, first because they ought to be
taught to regard a kiss as sweet and
tender salutation between those very
near and dear to each other; and second
because children are liable TO contract
disease in the indiscriminate kissing OF
everybody. People who carry any dis
ease in their systems should never kiss
anybody, unless particularly requested
leas- of all a tender, innocent little
child.-ET.
A cattle owner saws: Salt is my safety
valve as against distemper. When I
keep salt constantly before my cattle,
there never develops case OF black-leg.
In the past twenty years ihave two or
three of those years neglected to salt.
and every time l have done so have lost
cattle from black-leg, but have never
lost one the years that have sailed.
1t is simple remedy, and not only pre-
vents distemper but gentles and other
wise improves the cattle. a thousand
head of cattle will take a hundred
pounds of salt per week. 1 replenish
these treughs every Sunday morning.
1t pays the best OF any money that l
invest.

Milking tWenty-four cows, l have re-
ceiyed close TO s.. go during the past
year. believe that with forty COWS the
farm will bring s.. 900 for milk and but
tar. I cultivate one hundred acres and

man. one team, ten COWS, and forty
scres of plowed land Is the proper pro-
norton for getting the best returns
from farm work.
Granular butter may be kept for an
indefinite length of time. if placed In q
fruit lar. It has often been shown at
fairs in this condition. Put quantity
of brine in a two quart jar, or larger
one: add granular butter until the
brine begins TO run over the top; let it
stand a few minutes that all the air NAV
