The Wood Lot.

Every farm, however small, should, if
possible, have its wood lot. Besides the
supply of summer fuel, it is very con-
convenient if one needs post or q few
rails for repairs to 60 there and select
them. In cutting our trees reference
should be had to the welfare of those
that are left. 1t is we'll to go to the lot
with It'll cart and pick pick the chips and
take them to the wood shed; when sea-
soned, they will be found most useful.
The tops cut from the trees that have
been fened should not be left to litter
the ground Some of the large branches
may be sawed and split to add to the
wood pile. The spray may be cut into
suitable lengths for pea brush. These
may be neatly stacked on a bare spot, the
butts all one way, and the stack
weighted with some heavy tirSbers
to fatten the brush so that it may dry in
a fan-shape; thus i will go much further
in use, and look much neater than if al
lowed to dry without thu precaution.
Cut out all the underground, and add to
the stock of pea brush, saving the useful
or ornamental shrubs, such as Flowering
Dogwood, Viburnums, etc., as well as
young trees that are to grow up to re-
place those that are felled. If there is
excess of these, cut out the surplus but
leave the hardwood trees to grow. Maple
and hickory trees are worth far more to
the farmer than sassafras Eastwood or
other soft-wood kinds American Agri-

The pestiferous Grass Bird.

There is little bird, common about
the fields and gardens, that is worst
pest than the sparrow, crow and black;
bird combined. 1t is commonly calico
the prass bird. 1t is dark brown OF
dun color on the back, with white
breast and belly. It eats clover ano
grass seed, and those farmers who SOW
these seeds on the ground without cover
ing them will look in vain for the young
plants. These small birds come in tiocks
of sometimes hundred or hundreds,
and lighting ON the fields are unnoticed,
while each one will pick up the seed
from a square yard of ground. 1t il
easily calculated how soon a hundred Of
these birds will clear an acre OF land OF
seeds; forty.eight visits will do it with
out leaving one seed. No wonder there
are poor catches of seed, especially Of
timothy, sown in the fall, when these
pests have whole winter to work IN o.
swarm en- the ground in the spring. The
only safety from this loss is to cover the
seed by the harrow and put it safe in
the ground, where it ought to be put by
every good farmer. IF these birds are
needed to teach farmers good lesson,
that grass and clover seed should be
sown in the most careful manner and moi
scattered upon the snow or the bare hard
surface of the ground, they will not have
lived in vain. ..-New YoTk Times.

A New Mineral.

A new mineral has been discovered
named Sperryite, in honor Of the man
who found it, Francis L. SpErry, of Sud
bury, Ontario, chemist to the Canadian
Copper Company of that place. 1t is es.
sentially an arsenide of platinum and OF
great interest, since platinum has not
been found before as an important con-
stituent of any material except the alloys
with other metals of the platinum group.
The mineral was found at the Vermillion
mine, in the district of Algorna, province
Of Ontario, place twenty-five miles west
of Sudbury and twenty-four miles north
of Georgian Bay, on the line of the Al
gonna branch of the Canadian Pacific
Hallway. The mine was discovered in
October, 1887, and threefstamp mill
was put up for the purpose of stamp
ing gold quartz. Associated with this
gold ore arc considerable quantities OF
Iyrito, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, and
at the contact of ore and rock, and occu.
pying small pockets in decomRosed
masses ofihe ore, there is a quantity OF
loose material composed of gravel
containing particles of copper and
iron pyrites. 1t was in milling this loose
material that several ounces Of the arsen-
iae of platinum were gathered on the
carpet connected with the stamp MILL

Street Car Horses.

The employment of horses on SO many
street railroads is q great waste of ami
NAL material required in other fields,
and involves q necessary cruelty to the
horses. Yet il is surprising how .oc-
casionally q horse will adapt himself to
this spawning kind of occupation. A
driver recently called my attention
on the irty.fourth street line, in
New York city, says Gath, in the Gin,
cinnati enquirer, to horse in good
condition, which had been employed by
the company, and he told me that on
the Twenty-third street Cross town
Line was horse which had been between
nineteen and twenty years i'll the service.
The existence of the large stables for
these horses in the centre OF the city,
with their outfit of hay and fodder, and
manure, is a cause of danger. and in
time ali our horse-railroad stables have
one after another been destroyed by fire,
causing destruction of adjacent property
and the roasting of cavalry regiments Of
horses. During the tie-up in the latter
mart of January the elevated railways
worked with ali their might, and large
proportion of the operating and business
people felt no concern about the street.
car lines, but invalids, women, the
uptown stores and the physicians
showed their annoyance, and the loss of
occupation, and therefore oil value, was
q matter of loud complaint.

Tanning Fur and Other Skins.

IannlnS FUR anu OCner s'klnS.
The following is DIR. Chases "Fifty
Dollar Recipe" First, trim the skins of
all useless parts, and soak them till soft,
then flesh them we'll and soak them in
warm water for an hour. Take for each
skin, borax, saltpere and glauber salt,
of each one half ounce, and dissolve
with soft water sufficiently to allow tito
be spread on the flesh sid c of the skin.
Put it on with brush, thickest in the
center or thickest part Of the skin, and
double the skin together, flesh side in,
keeping it in cool place for twenty four
hours, not allowing it to freeze, however.
Second, wash the skin clean, and then
take sas-soda, one ounce; borax, one
half ounce; refined soap, two ounces;
melt them slowly together, being careful
not to allow them to boil, and apply the
mixture to the flesh side as at first; roll
up again and keep in o warm place fol
twenty-four hours. Third, wash the
skin clean as before, and have
saleratus two ounces) dissolved m hot
rain water sufficient to ,saturate the skin:
then take alum, four ounces; salt, eight
ounces, and dissolve also in hot rain
water; when sufficiently cool to allow the
handling of it without scalding, put in
the skin for twelve houus, then ring out
the water and hang up for twelve hours
more to dry. Repeat this last soaking
from two to four times, according to the
desired softness of the skin when
finished. Lastly, finish by pulling,
working, etc., and finally by rubbing
with piece of pumice-stone and fine
sand-paper. This works admirably on
sheep skins as well as on fur skins, dog,
cat or wolf skins, also making a durable
leather, well adapted to washing.--

Cows Liking for Pond Water.

Cows, if left to their own ways, do
not always take to the best and clearest
water. They will often drink more from
a stagnant, dirty pond than from clear
running stream. Possibly habit has
something to do with this strange pre-
ference. But especially in Winter it may
be accounted for on other grounds. The
running stream in Winter, if unfrozen,
is constantly exposed to severe cold, and
is usually several degrees colder than
that in the pond protected by ice thick
enough to bear the cows weight. 1t is
fair to presume that the cow Knows what
is good for her in some respects. Try
her with clean water slightly warmed,
and see if she will not drink it greedily
as the other.-Boston Cultioator.

Grating Wax.

Grating wax is made of resin, tallow
and beeswax, and there is no set rule as
to the proportions. What is wanted is
wax that will adhere well. A good
wax is made by melting together two
pounds of resin, one pound of tallow
and half pound of beeswax. Stir it
thoroughly and pour it into cold water,
and pull it with the hands until nearly
white. Or waxed cloths for wrapping
the gratis may be made by saturating
thin strips of cotton or calico in COM
position of two parts resin, one of tai
low and one of bceswax, melted togeth-
er. These strips may be wound around
the CRAFTS to exclude air and water. AS
a general rule grating is done in the
spring just before or at the time the
buds begin to swell, but cherries and
plums should be grated earlier. In all
cases the scions should be cut while the
buds are in dormant state.-Ne,o York
World.

Feedinr for Manure.

1t is possible by combining different
materials not only to increase the nutri-
tive value of the food supplied to the
stock, but at the same time to increase
the value of the manure as a fertilizer
for the growing crops. A ton of straw,
an equal amount Of clover hay and five
hundred pounds of bran, make food
that for feeding to stock will equal the
same weight of good hay. The COM
bining of the three materials increases
the value of them as ration. Straw is
a poor food. Bran is not complete
food, containing an excess of some ele-
ments and lacking in others. Clover
hay is the same, but by combining the
three very good ration is made up,
and both the clover and bran add very
materially to the value of the manure.
A ton of straw, the same amount of
hay, and five hundred pounds of cotton
seed meal will make another good food,
and while it will be keeping the stock
in good condition it will be adding a
sufficient amount in value to pay for the
food. Of course this is upon the basis
that good care is taken in the manage
nent of the manure heap in order to Sc
cure the best value.
When considerable amount of rough
food is to be fed, if reasonably good
shelter is provided, bran can nearly al
ways. be purchased and fed in con-
nection with it; better results can be re-
ceived if the rough food is first
run through cutter and the
bran added and thoroughly mixed with
it. But when this cannot be done, feed
whole, providing box for the bran and
managers for the hay, so as to avoid
waste as much as possible. Corn meal
can be aided, oil meal or ground oats.
Or very good ration can be made up
by grinding ear corn and oats together:

In n Rath for a Year.

A unique remedy for eczema and
other cutaneous diseases is Hebra's
water-bed, or rather, to define it accur'
ately, continual bath. The patient lives
entirely in his bath, eats, drinks and
sleeps there till he is well. One patient
was kept in such bath for 1856 days.
Think of this! More than year OF
washing dayl 1t is enough to make
anyone hate the sight of water forever.
There is o slight danger of the patient
slipping under water in his sleep and
drowning; but it is usual to pass band
age under his arms and fasten it, so as to
support the upper part of the body on
the inclined part of the bath, on which
the head rests. The palms and soles be-
come white and shriveled like washer.

parts Of the body does not suffer, and
the treatment is said to be very effica-

to it it is raised by degrees to ninety

A Very Ancient Autograph.

In Europe one of the most ancient au-
tographs preserved in a public museum
is at the Louvre. 1t is an Egyptian
papyrus, in which one Serpamonthes
writes to Pamouthes, his brother, that
he has sent by canal boat the property
of Thales, son of Jerax, the body of
Senvris, his mother. "She is smbalmed, "
adds the pious son; "a ticket hangs
round her neck; her carriage is paid :;
her name is inscribed upon her stomach,
and wish thee, oh, my brother, health
and prosperity" Fortunately, no one
has ever tried to steal this matchless au
toorarh.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Cisterns Under Cellars.

Most farmers have their cisterns in the
cellar, where it takes too much room
that is needed for OTHER uses, where its
top comes so near the surface that it
often freezes over and where a break is
attended by the most disastrous conse-
quences. Make the cistern below the
floor, cover it well, and one of its ad-
vantages will be in equalizing the tenn
perature. A cellar thus protected vii
never freeze in winter and will be cool
in summer.-Neso York Herald.

So far ss possible the fa,m ought to
supply all the feed necessary to keep the
stock and to fatton for market, and the
number of stock that can be kept will
depend largely upon the way the food is
supplied, and the value bf the manure
will also largely depend upon the same
conditions.-Farm, Field and Stockman.
