To Clean and Remove stains from silver


For the ordinary purposes OF cleaning
silver one of the best materials is a thin
paste of two parts of alcohol TO one Of
ammonia, with enough whiting to make a
liquidhke cream. This should be rubbed
or painted over the silver and allowed to
stand till dry. If the paste is then brushed
of with a very fine brush the silver viii

In cleaning silver there are but two

articles exposed to the air, and is especially
noticeable on spoons that come in contact

moves them. The whiting must be soft
and free from grit.
IL is difficult TO remove ink stains from
the silver inkstands. penholders, paper

Scabby Potatoes.

Besides the rot that is occasionally prev
aient and destructive in potatoes, the crop
is more or less subject to scab :in different
years and on different soils. Various the
cries are advocated as the cause, but the
disease often occurs where, according to
the theories, it ought not, and again ia
stances will occur of exemption where, &C.
cording to some of the theories, it ought
to be abundant. Thus there are seasons
and soils where scabby seed produces
potatoes free from scab, and then in anoth-
season and in different soil, the tubers will
be scabby, although the seed was clean.
Let the primary cause of the scab be what
it may, my experience leads me to the con-
cluslon that its occurrence depends upon
certain conditions of moisture and soil,
and while We may have more or less rain
than we desire IN some seasons we can, by
selecting favorable soil for our planting,
greatly lessen the prevalence of scab, il
we do not entirely escape It. For three
undrained land, well manurad- both stable
and commercial one being used together.
The yield was a fairly good one, but a
great many of the tubers were scabby. For
the last two years have planted on a light
open soil, where the rain quickly descends
through it, so that in day or two there
is no excess of moisture near the surface.
| have used only one kind of fertilizer, the
Mapes' special potato manure, and have
not been troubled with scab. To secure
smooth potatoes ! would plant on light or
well drained soil and use only some good
commercial fertilizer. / believe partially
rotted stable manure and wet soils are both
liable to produce seal ID. 7.

Economical Feeding e.
Century Magazine


Meat is a manufactured product for
which large amount of raw material Is
required. The manufacture of meat is a
process of Transforming the vegetable
protein, fats, carbohydrates of grass and
grain into the animal protein and fat of
beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies to the production of
milk, eggs, and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding of animals it
takes number of pounds of hay or corn to
words, let the farmer make animal protein
and fat from vegetable materials in the
best way he can, and still he must,,consume
large quantity of animal food. Hence
animal foods are costlier than vegetable
This is the simple explanation of the fact
that in most parts of the world meat is the
food of only the well-to-do while the poor
live almost entirely on vegetable food.
Thus ordinary people in Europe eat but
little meat, and ia India and China they
have none at all. It is hard enough for
them to get the nutriment they need in
vegetable forms Meats they cannot
afford
But meat making in the United States
to-day is far more wasteful than it need
be, on account of the excessive fairness OF
our meats. This comes about very natural
~. We have a great excess of soil-pro-
duct in the valleys of the Ohio and the
Mississippi and ON the ranches of the west.
At present the pork maker and the rancE-
man convert large portion of this
into very fat meat? The pork
producers of the great corn
growing states select the breed of swine
which. as they say, will take the most
corn to Market and have thus cot into
he way of growing animals that are li,tle
else thar masses of fat. The beefgro ers
# the western ranches, and those in the
asst as we'll, produce excessively fat meat.
Part of the fat is trimmed out of the
meat by the butcher, part is left on the
plates at the table to 60 to the soap man OF
garbage barrel, and part is eaten. Untor-
tunately very many of US eat much more
rat, both in meat and butter, thau is
needed for nourishment, and thus IL 10.

THE POTTER,S CRAFT.
A Trade Which Is One of the Most UD
healthy in the World.

While the potter's life is pleasant one
compared with many other mechanical
yocatlons, being surrounded with sense
of the beautiful and an artistic instinct
which goes far to make his existence
happy, it is unfortunately brief. The bus
mess is one of the most unhealthy in the
world. Potters commence work about 1S
years of age, and at 35 perceptibly
begin to decline. The average trade
life of the pressers is II years, and of
the kilnmen Az. Pulmonary diseases
are common among the slip-makers, turn
ers and jiggermen. The revolving moulds
keep cloud of clay dust around the work
men which they cannot avoid inhaling. In
many factories the clay is mixed in damp
cellars, which increases the liability to
colds. Hollow-ware pressers stand while
at work and are obliged to stoop a great
deal the size and weight Of the moulds
makes their york aborious and the
rapid motion agitates the dust to the in
jury of their throat and lungs. The sag,
ger makers are liable to overstrain their
muscles In placing the saggers In the kiln.
An ordinary sagger when filed with ware
weighs from so to 100 pounds, and after
about 20 years of lifting such weights the
workmen begin to decline. In the decora-
tive departments there is danger of lead
poisoning from the dry coIoring matter
At joining the trade the morality is low,
but after the age of IS years it is far above
the average. In England this mortality has
been especially noticeable, it being exceed
ed only by costermongers, miners and
hotel servants. This high death rate was
so remarkable that it caused DR.. William
Farr, register general of England, to ask
pertinentIy: "What can be done to save
the men dying so fast in the potteries ?"
In America the potters are much
better off than in England Our factories
are larger, better lighted and better venti-
lated. Anthracite coal used here prevents
the smoky atmosphere which surrounds
the English pottery districts.
There is a constant betterment of the
sanitary condition of American establish
ments, but there is room for further
improvement, especially in the avoidance
of dampness and dust. 1t is not so much
the physical labor that Injuries the
potter as it is the dust arising from the
materials in which he works.
If it could be obviated the business would
be changed from a short-lived and I'M.
healthy occupation to one long-lived and
healthy. This will undoubtedly be
brought about with the progress of inven-
ton and the advent of better economic
conditions offering larger opportunities
for labor and causing employers to COM
pete for the best wo1kmen by affording
them better accommodations Che

THE REAL AUSTRALIA.
Its Population, Productions and Future
Possibilities


Possibilities.
Among the tacit misconceptions into
which distant critics are most likely to fall
about antipodean affairs is that which is
based upon Ignorance of the enormous
area and possibilities of the colonies. Es-
pecially is this likely in the United States,
where the assumption may be that, as the
population Of Australia is about the same
as that of the thirteen original seaboard
colonies of America, the surface over
which they are distributed is also approx
lmateJy the same. As a matter of fact
there is no such proportion. New South
Wales alone is as large as they were;
Tasmania, the Rhode Island of Australia,
is as large as that State with New Jersey,
New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, add
ed; Victoria, the smallest Colony of the
continent, is equal In size to Great Britain !;
Queensland surpasses the united areas of
Austria, France, and Germany; South
Australia, one-third greater than Queens
land, is nearly as large as Western Aus
tralia, which of itself has nearly four times
the extent of Texas, while the two colonies
together are larger than the whole of Eu-
rope without Russia. The seven colonies
between them occupy territory greater
than that of the United S ates, excluding
Alaska: 1t is true that at present
Australia has barely four million
inhabitants, but these immense
areas represent population
to which it is impossible to set
bounds. No part of the continent is so
hot and so unhealthy as to forbid white
settlement, and if the strip of low-lying
coast-lands in the north be omitted, there
is no part of it yet colonized in which
Europeans cannot work Port Darwin,
the country about the Gulf of Carpenta
ria, and an indefinite belt toward the
northwest lie within the tropics, and are
suitable for tropical productions; but the
high plateau of northern Queensland
which runs close to the sea, is found
thoroughly healthy for English miners and
graziers, and enjoys bracing winter
The back country though waterless by
comparison with the Mississippi Aalley,
is able to carry stock we'll in most seasons,
and with wells, tanks, and dams may be
made to do SO in all years. The desert
country Of Eastern Australia has yet to be
found.-Hon. Alfred Deakin, In Novem.
