? to employ dried blood for rations il
the rearing of animals. Ia the drieC
state blood as food has proved very
beneficial in restoring cattle exhausted
by disease or fatigue. In the case
lambs, when 2 months old. M
Dautreville commences with one third
of an ounce daily, rising to one ounce,
mixed with rasped beet. For calves,
when arrived at the age of months
they get three and one.third ounces
per day, augmenting to ten ounces
when months. Adult stock, thin
from an@mia, or in the case of horses
lean from hard work, three to five
ounces of dried blood given with morn
ing and evening feeds, have produced
extraordinary beneficial effects on
ponies-double the quantity fer large
horses.
Peter Henderson, in abiding to a
market gardener near Rochester who
obtains 5000 an acre from his fifteen
acre cabbage patch, says that New
I ork market-gardeners would by no
means be satisfied with so small an
amount on their high-priced land. He
mentions another instance in Maryland
where an owner has cultivated over q
hundred acres with Cantaloupe mel
ons, which are sold in New York at
prices which give him over $50 a
year ago in profit. At Kalamazoo,
what twelve years was a swamp is
now vast celery field, from which
fifty tons day are sent out, and the
crop in 1884 was about five thousand
tons, worth $4,000.
The farmers of Greene and a few
other towns in Maine, are settling the
middle men, question in measure,
by quietly shipping their apples to
England on their own account. On
reaching Liverpool the apples are sold
by public auction, and, of course we'll
known brands bring whatever they are
worth. Maine Baldwins, put up by
responsible and reputable farmers,
have been selling in Liverpool lately
at from SO. 60 to SO. 80 per barrel, while
brands not so well known, or lots evil
IDENTITY poorly put up here, sold at
about dollar barrel less.
Instead of oil, which thickens and
smears milestone, a mixture of
glycerine and spirit is recommended.
The proportions of the composition
vary according to the class of tool to
be sharpened. One with relatively
large surface is best sharpened with a
clear fluid, three parts of glycerine
being mixed with one part of spirit.
A graver having small cutting sur
face only requires small pressure on
the stone, and in such cases the glvcer-
inc should be mixed with only two or
three drops of spirit.
A solution of oxalic acid has been
used for removing ink stains from cot
ton, linen, or the fingers, but it is at
tended with the danger of injuring
textiles and the skin. A much safer
md better treatment of ink or rust |
stains consists in the application of |
two parts of powdered cream of tartar
snd one part of finely powdered
Dxalic acid. Shake up the ingredients
we'll together and apply the powder
with dry rag to the dampened stain.
When the spot has disappeared the
part should be very well washed.
Very few Americans have yet learn
I'd how little land is required for fur
nishing food to human being year,
provided that little is well cultivated;
md the crops well chosen. A woman
n the Hudson river valley, who cult
rates only six acres, supplies her
amily with all that a garden will
rield, keeps a COW and horse and sells
,cside some 5000 to 800 worth of
ruit and garden truck each year. 1t
) needless to add that she raises more
han one crop in year, and allows
10 waste places.
