made such rapid Roadway that saving
the building was impossible. The
alarm was given: men, women and
children hurried to to the scene of
action, and If ever prompt, energetic
labor was performed by our citizens it

the twigs of those flying through the

BUTTER AND OTHER FATS.

The Rural Nev YORKER in a short
account ofthe meeting of the Ameri-
can Society Of Microscopists, held at
Chautauqua, N. Y, gives matter in
relation to butter and other fats,
from which we CLEAN the following:
DR.. Thomas Taylor, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, read a very
valuable paper on butter fats and
oleomargarine. DIR. Taylor had for
some years conducted a series of
experiments seeking to discover a
sure test for oleomargarine. He dis
covered that there was a distinct
difference between crystals of butter
and those Of otherjfats. This differ
ence is shown by a powerful micro
scope, and it was thought by many
that the surest and simplest test for
bogus butter had been found. Re-
Gently, Prof. Weber, another distin-
guished scientist, has declared that
in samples of oleomargarine sent to
him for examination, he can find no
great difference between the rhysi-
cal characteristics of the fat globules
of butter and it's substitutes. This
called out a reply from DR.. Taylor,
in which he practically repeats his
statements and combats the theory
of Prof. Weber. He insists that the
butter crystal has several peculiar
characteristics which he has not yet
found in connection with any other
crystal" of fat, animal, or vegetable.
DIR. Taylor's argument was elaborate
and strong. i~1. ..

wATERPRooFING GARMENTS

Farmers have as much need of
waterproof garments as the sailors
have, for a farmer cannot stay in
doors when it is raining and
must be more or less exposed to
all sorts of weather. The rubber
coats now made are a delusion and
a snare, being made Of cobwebby
cloth and the thinnest thin coating
of gum, A new coat is leaking all
over, but especially on the shout
ders, the most important part to
keep dry, in one hours exposure to
a heavy rain. The writer, having
been disguised with this thin excuse
for a waterproof garment provided
himselfwith an overcoat and leggings
of stout duck cloth, and mixing one
quart of well-boiled linseed and halt
an ounce of beeswax, applied this
when warm to the said garments
and at a very small cost had water
proof clothing which was really
water proof, and turns twenty-four
hours rain as we'll as a goose's back
sheds water. The same dressing
has been found excellent for hay
caps, as wholly %impervious to the
rain-N.. Y. Times. l. r.H...9 ..

IVY

Another antidote to the poison OF
the poison ivy, etc, ETC., which is
o commonly at hand than quick
lime, and more easily prepared
for application, is bicarbonate OF
soda or common cooking soda. This
should be moistened with only water
enough to make a smooth paste and
then spread over the affected part
and covered with a damp cloth. 1t
will give almost instant relief to the
burning sensation and will affect !:
cure as soon as any other remedy.

SAVING SEED CORN.

A common-sense Kansas farmer,
who, by the way has taken a num-
Der Of first premiums at county and
State fairs, says his method is simple
and worthy Of notice. He COM
menced ten years ago with an early
variety, and every year when he
cuts his corn he leaves standing a
number of stalks with extra nice
ears. When this has thoroughly
matured, he husks and selects there
from the best for seed. And he
makes it a point to go through the
field and mark the hills that mature
early, the main point being to have
the best seed of the earliest-maturing
corn. The ground is plowed deep
very early in the spring, and the
seed put in as-soon as the frost is
we'll out of the ground.-Sumner

The Journal Of applied Chemistry
recommends the use of a small guam

laying paper-hangings and in white
wash, and states that it will repeI
cockroaches and all other insects. 1t
will also neutralize the disagreeable
odor consequent upon the decompo-
sition of the paste, which in newly
papered walls is very offensive. The
cheapest and best form Of carbolic
acid is crystal, which dissolves in
water at an excess Of temperature.
The crow, according to Mr.. J.
T. Campbell, is one of the most
Industrious and persistent seed-trans-
porting agencies known, and to its
efforts are probably due the founding
of many a new forest. This bird has
an aimless and mischievous habit OF
picking up and flying away with
any small objects which happen to
attract attention, dropping them in

right proportions. They have got
into the habit Of feeding corn to
hogs, and as this is a highly carbon
aeeous food, it produces a minimum
of lean meat and a maximum of
lard. So long as the system Of
almost exclusive corn feeding con-
t%inues, the product will be light

and butter milk added to the corn
will help improve the feed. Wheat

hogs could have a good clover pas

and fed them, it would be a further
addition. These are all classed
among the albuminous foods and

PROPER FEEDING FOR PORK.

Some people, says the National
Lire Stock Journal, may fancy that
the subject of proper feeding is of
little importance, and that any man
who can handle a measure, orshovel
can dole out feed to hogs just as
we'll as a man who has paid atten-
ton to the subject of feeding, but
such a conclusion would be very
erroneous. Many hog-raisers are ig-
norant Of the Importance OF right
feeding, and r too indolent to
exert themselves enough to under
stand the subject and be able to
select and combine foods in the
