enthusiasts making veritable pets of
miniature lords of the forest. These
plants are readily raised in fower-pots
from the acorn, and require no atten'

tap root every spring for a few years,
this process keeping the tree OF diminu.

the ordinary development OF new

but never lard. When 1t is very hot,
put in three large onions sliced; stir I'M

great care that it does not burn-pour
in a quart OF boiling water and simmer
for an hour. Season with salt and pep
per, and just before serving add a pint
of boiling milk. Put pieces of toasted
bread cut in diamond shape in the
tureen, and pour the soup over. You
can make it richer by using more milk
and less water. A tablespoonful Of
chopped parsley and chives sprlnkled
in a moment before it is taken from the
fire is considered a pleasant addition by
many.

''B1TING IN" THE LINES.

"The first application of the acid is

leaves the sky lines, the distance lines,
and. In general, the lighter part of the
picture. After these lines are bitten
the acid is poured off. and the ground
washed with water. Then the parts
which the artist does not wish to
have longer acted upon by the acid are
covered with a '~stopping-out' varnish.
The next application of the acid is
stronger in order to obtain the heavier
effects. So the artist continues stop
ping-out one place after another until
the plate is sufficiently bitten, and until
he has reached the foreground. When
the entire plate has been sufficiently
bitten, or, in other words, when the
picture has been etched into the copper
plate by means of the acid, the wax
wall is removed and the plate thorough

sired and the changes made.

THE ETCHER'S ART.
The Tools he Works With and the
Effects he Produces.

"Let me give you IN a connected
story the history Of an etching from
the time the copper plate is placed In
position for work until it leaves the
hands of the printer. In the first place,
the copper plate is thoroughly washed
with t%urpentine, or, better, with BEN
zine, for the former is a little too thin.
This is to remove any grease. The plate
is then heated, commonly by burning
under it heavy etching paper, or, If the
plate is a large one, by a spirit lamp.
1t Is heated to such a temperature that
water will roll off in globules. When
the plate is sufficiently heated n prepa-
ration known as etching ground is
applied. This is a composition which
comes prepared IN the shape of a round
ball, about the size of a black walnut,
and is made of asphaltum, beeswax
and oil of lavender. This composition
is carefully tied up in silk, and through
this silk the etching ground oozes on to
the plate, where it Is laid with a roller.
After the ground is applied and has
sufficiently cooled, it is smoked, in
order to give the etcherfa black surface
on which to work. The smoking IS
done with a twisted wax taper, candles,
or in fact any substance which will
produce the desired effect. When the
plate Is cold the ground is perfectly
hard. So much for the first part of
the process, that OF preparing the
plate,

OUTLINE OF THE DRAWING.
1.-THE etcher is now ready for work in
earnest. He takes a drawing, which,
of course, may be original Oh a copy,
and etches its fac-simile on the plate
before him, If he wishes 10 take
special pains with his subject, which IS
usually the case, he does not copy the
drawing directly on the plate, but takes
an intermediate step. Over his draw
ing he fastens a perfectly hard trans
parent gelatine composition, and with
his etching point etches the drawing
on this, exactly On the principle OF the
transparent slate of our nursery days.
The gelatipe plate is removed, and pre-
sents q rough and scratched surface. 1t
is lightly scrapsd, but so lightly that
the indented lines are not disturbed or
efTaced. These lines are filled with red
chalk. The gelatine plate is then re-
yersed and placed on the etching
ground of the copper plate. A burn
isher is applied, which transfers the
chalk to the etcher's form or upon the
plate. Thus the etcher has a perfect
outline of tue drawing on the plate on
which he is to work. In this way he
is guided in his task, and his work Is
expedited.
"The etcher now begins to use the
tools of his trade, each of which Is
known as an etching point With
these instruments the subject is again
etched, this time on the etcber's
ground. Where the etcher wishes to
obtain the darkest effects fewer lines
are etched and are made further apart
to enable them to stand a longer bite
by the acid. OF course the acid bites
into the copper plate only where the
etching point has scratched through the
etcher's ground to the original copper
plate. If the plate on which the artist
is at work is a small one, it is placed
in a pan and the acid is then poured on.
If, however, it is a large one, there is
put around the edge of the plate what
is known as a frame of wall wax, in
one corner of which is placed a spout for
convenience in pouring off the acid.

VALUE OF THE GOAT.

An Animal Which Deserves q Promine Il
Place on the Farm.
In England they now have special
breed of goats for the dairy, and an as
ISOLATION has been formed, the best an
imals registered in flock book, and q
general improvement determined on.
In fact, an illustration of celebrated
dairy goat, recently appearing in an
English paper, showed such capacity
of udder as to compare favorably with
some COWS now in our diaries. And
why should not the goat be given
useful place among our domestic ami
mails? If it can be SO improved as to
give large quantities of milk, it will
largely contribute to the assistance of
those who have no facilities for keeping
acow, while their. proliticacy will place
them within the reach of all. There
Us very foolish prejudice against the
goat Its flesh is even superior to NUT
ton, possessing a gamey fiavorin which
the sheep is lacking, and if the males
are fatted, and sold at about one year
old, we venture to predict that once
the public is educated to the value OF
the meat there will grow up a demand
which will not be easily supplied.
As to the flesh of the kid,
it is excellent. The goat being
herbaceous. and living on the same food
as the sheep, should destroy all preju-
dice that may exist. The she-goat some
times gives as much as six quarts OF
milk. if they ale superior mixers. and
the milk is not only rich as cream but
in all the elements that form a com.
plete food. Butter is not made from
goats milk, but some of the richest and
best-havored cheeses are produced from
it. We predict that ere long we will
begin to import strains of good milking
goats from Europe:-Farna, Field asd
