AGRICULTURE.
DoGs AND snEEp.-Dogs are the most
expensive domestic animals kept in
the country. A dog will devour more
food in the course of a year than a
pig, and It must necessarily be of a
better quality. It will Injure more
gardens, destroy more birds, -and do
more mischief than any animal, for
eign or domestic, wild or tame. The
average dog as found in this country
has more vices and fewer virtues than
the town goat. In most parts of the
country sheep cannot be kept with any
assurance of satety on account ot the
villainous i h rat ter. nd ei ormot sa u i
ber of dogs. In some regions the dogs
are more numerous than all the other
kinds of animals put together. They
are ever-present pests. They have no
respect for any person or any thing.
No state dog law has ever been framed
that offered any protection to sheep.
The legal status of a dog is no better
defined than that of an Indian. It is
found to be impracticable to diminish
the number of dogs by imposing a tax
on them. - The only dogs the Issessor
finds to tax are those which do no
misshief, but which are ornaments to
the race. A traveler will find more
dogs about the shanty of one squatter
than the tax collector -wil discover ia
an entire township. The dog nui
sance will never be abated till there
are State statutes simillar to the ordi
nances of large cities, and provisions
made to execute them by competent
authorities. When all dogs are shot
that do not weat' collars, showing that
their masters have taken out licenses,
the number will be diminished, Dogs
wearing no collars should be regarded
as wild beasts and public enemies,
and bounties offered for their scalps.
They are in reality more injurious
than their natural cousins, the wolyes,
and should be treated in the saine
way.
GRAPE STAKES AND TnELLIS POSTS,
-Meyeral have asked how trellis posts
and stakes for grapevines can be t)ro
vented from decaying in the ground.
Of course the better plan is to use
wood of a durable kind. If locust
Posts cannot be had, short pieces of
this wood to go in the ground, and
project high enough abovo the sur
face to allow upaights of more per.
ishable wood to be spiked to them
wil answer. Chestnut in some l8 nls
lasts well, and the enduring quality of
Catalpa will recomiend that for such
uses. Among the methods of preservi
ing perishable wood, our experience
extendssonly to two, namely, through
charring the lower ends, and to soak
ing them in a strong solution of Blue
Vitriol. (Sulphate of Copperas ) A
pound of this ia two quarts of water
makes a saturated solution or nearly
so. The ends of the posts are soaked
in this until it has well penetrated.
for small pine stakes we once followed
a German method: After they had
been well soaked in the blue vitriol
solution and dried, they were placed
in lime water ; over night. and whel
again dried were ready for use. The
stakes thus treated lasted well for
two seasons, when they were no long
er needed.
EWES in ]amb should, as far as
practicable, be fed and sheltered sep
arately from the non-breeding animals,
,a:,the crowding and more rapid move
*ments of the latter 'are apt to result
injuriously, while such separation
makes more convenient certain little
attentions to which breeding ewes are
entitled as the yearning season ap
* proochecs, ani which may be profita
bly accorded to them. Adv intage
will be found in subdivision of tile
several ages and sexes Into as many
* smaller lots as circumstances will ad
mit of, as such course lessens .thle
liability to crowding and over-feeding
of the stronger animals at I he expenise
of the weaker ones. It also brmngs
each anlimal more directly under tilie
eye of the attendant, whIo will the
more readily detect tile first symnp
teols of deviating from tile desired
thrift.
I'IPnoIITION OF CRECAM IN MILK.

How imp~lortanlt theni to get tile last

true that cows arfe quiickly dried up by
a sloyenlly practice of leaving al smiall

THE HOUSEHOLD.
THE paper lamp-shades so fashion.
able just now can be made very easily.
Fold a sheet of tissue paper in the
center, forming a half square; then
fold again into a quarter square,. then
into an eighth. Continue folding in
this way as long as possible, always
folding from the center. Holding the
thick part firmly in one hand, dratw it
throuzrh the other till the paper is
thoroughly creased; then partly un
fold and draw it through the hand
from the center to the outer edge.
When it hai bacoma well creased, cut

MILK PUDDING.-At 9 or 10 o'clock
in the morning put one tablespoonful
of rice and one tablespoonful of taplocA
into a three-pint ple-dish; add one
tablespoonful of coarse brown sugar
and a pinch of salt. Let this soak near
the fire until 1. o'clock, and let it be
frequently stirred. Then put very
little bits of butter on the top, and
put it in a moderate oven. For the
first half-hour stir it often from the
bottom, then leave it. At one o'clock
you will have a pudding far exceed
ing in richness one made with eggs,
and With a delicious flavor Sage, or
tapioca, or rice alone, is equally good.
BLCEEDING AT AinH NosE.-The best
remedy for bleeding at the nose, as
given by Doctor Gleason in one of his
lectures, is a vigorous motion of the
jaws, as if I n the act of mastication. In
the case of a child, a wad of paper
should be placed in its mouth, and the
child instructed to chew it hard. It is
the motion of the Jaws that stops the
flow of blood. This remody is so very
simple that many will feel Inclined to
laugh at it; but it has never - been
known to fall-not even in very severe
cases.
POACHED Eas.-To poach eggs is
an art. We want little egg-poachers
for this prooess. As yet it has to be
done in a plain pan, in which boiling
water Is ready ; put in a little vinegar,
and carefully put in the raw egg so as
not to break the yolk. When the eggs
have well set take them out with tihe
draining slice and hold them for a
minute till you put them on the but
tered toast. A little pepper should be
sprinkleul over them.
THE "Parisian' tells of a woman
who found out a way to prevent wrin

she had obtained about seventy gram

equal quantity of the best honey, and
thirty-live grammes of pure white
meihled wax. These substances, being
well muxed, formed a pomade, 'with
which she delicately rubbed her face
night and mornhing.
PARsLEY Sour.-Take a piece of but
ter and melt it; stir in a little 1lour
and Lmnalgama!e. Add gradua ly il the
wateryou want. Flavor With popper,
salt and nutmeg. Simmer In this two
carrots, two parsnips, cut up line, and
two onions, whole. Have ready steam,
ed potatoes, mashed, and two handfuls
of chopped parsley. Strain the soup
liqu-r over them, and stir in well.
Add two yolks of eggs, beaten up well,
slimmer for a few minutes, and serve
with pleces of toast.
WIIEN putting up curtains which

to the room. The curtains meeting

CoRN MUFFINs.-TWO cups wheat

I have used several bottles of it to my entire

Door and rosorted to different methods for re

give VEOBTINE a trial, with little faith, I Iwill
admit; but to my surprise and great ollef, a
few doses convinced me that I had got hold of
the right thing for my diniculty. It sont out
humor from my blood that. I have no doubt.
was the cause or the misery I had endured, and
I found relief as soon as a medicino could relieve
a disease of that kind. When I began its use I
seldom got a night's sleep, or half a one, and
my appetite was poor, and as a consequence, I
was running down rapidly, but after a tow doses
I saw a radical change every way, and tho

A NeO Dlisifectan.-When warm air
is forced through a hot mixture of tur.
pentine and water, a disinfectant sub

is produced. It is an aq0eous solution,
characterized by the presence of hydro

stances called sanitasol, also contain
1 ig peroxide of hydrogen, which poss
esses a.high power of oxidation. Ao.
cording to the account given of it by
Mr. C. T. Kingzett, the oil promises to
become very valuable for sanitary pur
poses. As it has been found an effi
cient agent for the tlecomposition of so
stable a sub3tance as iodide of potas
slum, it can hardly be doubted that It
will alao effect the oxidation of any
animal or vegetable substance, partit
ularly those which are in course of
putrefactive decomposition, It has
also the proper.ty of being capable,
alter having once performed its mea
sure of oxidation, of forming a new
amount of active peroxide of hyurogen,
whici may be made available for fur
ther work. Several experiments, made
by Mr. Ktngzett, prove that this oil is
a powerful antiseptic. .Beef put in
water containing It was kept sweet
during periods of 25 to 40 days; flour
paste from 3) to 50 days; the whilc of
eggs for 59 days; wine for 100 days.
The oil is not destined to supersede
the sanitas for it is too. powerful in its
actilon to serve the purpose to which
the aqueous solution is applied, and Is
not adapted to meet the same ends, but
be a valuable supplement to it. It may
be added to glycerine, oils or oint

body in cases of infectious disease. It
may he evaporated for the fumigation
of rooms which have been occapied by
per.ous suffering from communicable
diseases, Plane surfaces, as floorings
and walls, may be disinfected by
wilping them with a cloth or brush
which has been dipped in oil; only a
small quantity of oil is necessary for
this purpose, for it spreads freely. It
is slowly volatile, and may be used as
an aerial disinfectant or emulsion in

places; and sprinkled over sawdust it
may be employed as an effective deo

Fees of Doctors.
The fee of doctors is an item that
very many persons are Interested in
just at present. We believe the sched
ule for visits is $3.00, which would tax
a man confined to his bed a year, and
in need of a daily visit, over $1,000 a
year for medical attendance alone I
And one single bottle of Hop Bitters
taken in time would save the $1,000
and all the year's sickness.-ED.
It appears to be settled now, through
the researches of Gustav Hansen. that
It is by their antennm that insects are
enabled to distinguIshed orlers. When
the antennie were coated vith paraffine
or removed altogether, tiles, for in
stance, took no not'ce of tainted meat.
But it does not follow, however, that
the antennw have no other use.
NATURAL petroleum, deprived of its
color and disagreeable odor without
distillation and the aid of acids or alka
lies, Is what the Carboline is made
from. As now improved and perfected
it is a beautiful preparation, and per
forms all that is claimed for it as a
hair restorer.
Prof. Riley says that kerosene or oil
of any kind is sure death to insects in
all stages, and the only substance with
which we may hope to destroy the
eggs. Oil will not mix with water,
but wvill mix with milk, i reshi or sour,
and then may be dilieted to any desired
extent..
