If man has place where his tools
can be easily put up, they will be more
apt to be put up. and when we consider
the damage to tools, particularly the
more expensive ones, from standing out

The Ip,Da Homestead AYERS that he
rather likes the confirmed wler-the
fellow who sees nothing but blue ruin to
the future corn crop, on account of
present rains, and who will make us
shiver with his predictions Of empty corn
cribs and starving hogs if it should not
rain for a month. He knows how to
run the weather n thousand times better
than the Almighty. His self-conceit and
capacity for doleful lamcntation is a
constant source of amusement. But we
like him best in small doses and at long
intervals.
TO purify cistern water take pound
or two-according to the amount of
watcr-of caustic soda or similar
quantity Of concentrated lye, and put
into the cistern; this will disnfcct stag
nant, odorous water, and the cost is
nothing compared with the benefit de-
| rived. 1t is said that two grains OF
alum to pint of water that is not tit to
drink render it perfectly clear and pure,
| and the taste of alum will not be per-
ceived. A little pulverized alum thrown
into pail of water and allowed to stand
for fifteen or twenty minutes will pre-
cipi,ate all tho impurities and leave it
perfectly clear. A large quantity put
into well of impure water will very
much improve it.-EGchGnge.
