Canning Tomatoes. -Pi

Canning Tomatoes. Pick the apple to-
matoes, the smoohest and best shaped scale
and skin them very carefully, remove the stem
with peuknfe, taking care not to cut the to-
mato so as TO let the juice or seeds run out
Next place them in the cans, some with the
stem end and some with the blossom end next
to the glass. Then take the juice that has run
out of those which weee peeled 10 cook, having
no seeds or pulp, and add little salt, and
psur on your whole tomatoes until nearly
full; then place them in kettle OF cold water
and lie. them cook til! you think they are hot
clear through; then seal them. l Sc glass
jars-and after the cover has been on about
five minutes take it off SO they viii settle, let
ting the gas out; then fill up with juice and
seal again, and your cans are always tull to
the cover. A great many have not learned
this. You have no idea how nice they look
through the glass; they show every vein and
rib and look as if they were put up raw, and
when used they are just as il they had been
taken from the vines. Always Keep your
fruit in the dark, and it doesn't fade through
the glass.-Ex.

plsuro.Pneumonia Among Cattle

The Department of Agriculture furnishes the
following, which is OF general interest; "By
a recent law the Commissioner OF Agriculture
is authorized to adopt such measures as he
deems best, in cooperation WIN State
authorities, to prevent the spread OF pleuro-
pneumonia. Maryland has accepted the plans
Of the Commissioner, and the WorA OF stamping
out the disease has been commenced. Three
animals were condemned and killed the post
mortem examinations in each case showed
unmistakabe evidence of pleuro-Pneumonia.
Arrangements were made TO kllI all sick
animals found ia the State, tne Maryland
authorities having agreed 70 condemn all that
are found infected. Other States are likely to
consent to cooperate with the department. "
Maryland has been for some time most actively
engaged in the suppression Of lhe disease,
and has the matter well in hand Animals
presenting decided symptoms nave leen from
time to time slaughtered and PSiu Ior out of
the State appropriation for the purpose. A
number of herds in which single ANIMALS have
been affected are now quarantined' aud the
quarantine will be continued uh'Il al pos
sibility of any further development Of the dis
ease is passed.

OIL PAINT FOR FLOoRs.-For the paint
ing Of floors with oil paint, we should, says
the Builder and WoodWorkr, only select
such as contain earthly coloring substances
and no lead, as all paints containing the
latter wear off too easily. A floor that is
covered with oil paint, and which is CON-
paratively easily rubbed off, can safely be
considered TO contain lead. Lead is gener-
ally added on account of its superior den
sity and body, and also being much more
easily applied than most other substances.
Even varnish that has been prepared by the
use of litharge is Objectionable, on account
of being too readily worn off. Two coats
of paint are usually employed, and care
should be observed not to apply the second
before the first is fully dry. II it is desired
that the floor should present yarnish like
luster. the following may be employed,
whereby the paint becomes even more dur
able: Dissolve two parts of shellac in eight
parts of alcohol Of about so per cent. and
add to it one-quarter of part of camphor.
When the whole has been completely dis
solved it can be filtered or strained through
a cloth, in order to separate the suspended
impurities. With this lac the floor is
painted over once or twice, as may be re-
quired. By the application OF the lac the
paint adhere5 much better, and is not so
easily worn as though it were directly ex-
posed and when the lac has been partially
removed all that is necessary is to renew
the simple application of the varnish.
