AGRIOULTURAL. OLD Sorrnas MADE USEFUL.- -A. J. F. Howard writes: "Having, like almost every other farmer, a number of old rcythies, some of which are not much worn, and havmg last winter a little leisure, I made some very useful and handy tools, and without any outlay. To make a bill hook I cut off 20 Inches of the point of an old bcythe, leaving 15 inches for the blade. Tho handle is made by cutting away the edge or blade part of the scythe, leaving the back, around which cloth was wound, until it was of suflicient size, when it was covered with leather. For adrawing knife, which I find useful in making handles to tools, etc., I use 24 inches of an old scythe, 12 inches for the blade, and 6 inches at each end for the handles. With a cold chisel I cut away the blade portion of the scythe at the ends, and bent the back which can be done without heating. The handles-may be made of cloth and leather, as for the bill hook, or of wood. A knife for paring apples, cutting turnip tops, and many other uses. This is made trom the end of a Fcythe, 4 inches for the blade. I cut the back of the scythe entirely away, uting only the thin part, then took a piece of wood-an old broom handle will do and with a fine saw I made a cut in the end to aduit the end of the blade, which was fastened on by rivets. A chopping knife for cutting meat, apples, etc. For this twife I used 12 inches of the middle of a scythe, leaving 4 inches fos the cutting surface in the centre of the piece. The 4 inches on each end had the blade removed, and were turned at right angles to the cen tral portion, with the ends passing into a wooden handle." But very few tools aure required in making the articles above de scribed, and any farmer, during a rainy day or two, may construct them flomn an old scytae, and at no outlay of money. Tim AoR oF Fowiu.-If a hen's spur is hara and whe scales on the legs rough, she is old whether you see her head )r not, but her head will corroborate your observation. If the under bill is so stif that you cannot bend it down, and the comb thick and rough, no matter how fat and pluiip, leave her for sonic one less particular. A young. hen has the rudiments of spurs; the scales on the legs are smooth, glossy and fresh colored, whatever the color may be; the claws tender and short, the nails sharp, the under bill soft and the comb thin and sutooth. An old hen turkey has rough scales on the legs, callositles on the soles of the feet., and long strong claws; a young one the reverse of all those marks. When the feathers.are on the old turkey cock has i. long tuft or heid ; a youing one but a sprouting one; anad when they are oft the smooth scales on the legs decide the point, besides the difference in the size of the wattles of the neck and in the elastic shoot upon the nose. An old goose, when alive, is known by the roufrh legs, the strength of the wings, particularly at the pinions, the thickness and strength of the bill, and the Ilneness of the feathers; and when plucked by the legs, the tenderness of the skin under the wings, by the pinions and bill, and the coarseness of the skin. Ducks are distinguished by the sane means, but there iH the difference that a duckling's bill is mch longer im proo:-tion to the breadth of its liead than the old duck's. WHAT SizE TRas 'ro Buy.--Purchasers of trees often make the wistake of suppos ing that the larger the tree bought the greater the gain. Nurserymen, who of all men should know as to this, say that there is absolutely nothing gained by buying large trees. This applies of course int a general sense. If a tree could be removed every few years, so as to have an abuinilaince of librous, or small roots, there would be no check on removal, andi such a tree would inever become too large to move profitably. Theli general run of trees arc not trented thus, and so, the larger ilie trees the less likely is it to have miany roots, and as ia consequence the tree itlist, either lhe p~rtined back beverely, or let alone to make a weak growth, aind peirhaps (lie. Th'le hest way is to get a liiuediuin ti cc, t reat it, well, aitd it will give far utore satisfactioni thain a large one wouldl have dorne, withuout inuch doubt. A ooon garden is one 01 the best invest meats a farmer cani imike, paying both in pleasure and in profit. Not a stIngy little garden, to furnmishi greens for the clnckens, butt a broad well kept gardlen, with every thing planted in long rows that miay be kept clean by the frequent use of a cultiva tor.

A Japaniicsc Bronze W lorker. -Tme most skiaful bronze worker in Japan, and~ one of the most skilful or workers in metal that Japan has ever piosressed, is said to be a Kiyoto artisani namled Zoroku. ilis spe etally is inlaying with silver and gold, n art which lie carries to such perfection thai h s pieces are scaicely distinguishanble from the ecfs-dw'<cr of tihe Min period.

MOTIE KILLERS.---rho aromatic preserva tives which have been used from time im. memorial are of a character not at all de stined to kill, but merely to annoy the poets. Camphor, pepper, naphlitha, car bohc acid, etc., are efficacious in prevent ing the moth laying its eggs within scent ing distance of the odois, but none of t1hese will destroy the eggs already laiul or the larvm developed from them. On-the olther hand, arsenic, alum, soaps, shaving pow. der, potash and common salt will usually kill the eggs in the incipient or pritneval condition of transformation, and the larvie are also invariably exterminated by them. There are many Kinds of mixtures used. but their practical effect Is not satisfactory. The substances which hinder the laying of eggs are preferable, perhaps, to those which will kill the larvw, on the principle that "an onnce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." It Is the odorous sub stances, solely, which take effect upon the moth ; coal tar, for instauce. The nos successful moth-destroylig compound is naphtha, a cobstituent of coal tar of a pun gent, disagreeable odor. It evaporates slowly, and, used in ordinary qiantitlesis not injurious to the health. Neither is it injurious to the fabric to which it is ap plied. Naiphtha, in its unvarnished con dition, is one of the best extirpator known to entomological science, and call be suc cessfully used where other expedients fall. Ilow TJ Bo1, AN Sriw. --To do either the food must be immersed at the begin ning in actually boijing water, and the water must, be allowed to reach the boiling point agaill ilinediately, and to boil for live mijiutes. Tne action of the boiling water upon tile surface of either meat or vegetables is to ihardn it slightly, enough to prevent the escape of either juice or inieral salts. After the pot containing the food has begun to boil tile second tine, it should be reinoved to the side of the tire and allowed to simner until it is done. This simmering or stewing extracts all the nutricious qualities of either meat or vege tables. The pot should be kept closely covered unless for a moment when it is necessary to remove the scum. The Steam will condense upon the inside of the cover, and fall back into the pot m drops of lois ture. If the boiling is slow, do not think that rapid boiling cooks fastor than the gentle process recoumended. After the pot once boils you can not make its col tents cook any faster if you have fire enough under it to run a steam engine. Remember if you boil meat hard and fast it will be tough and tastless, and most of its goodness will go tip the chimiey or out the wimdow witi the steam. To MAKE CREAM BAUVIE FOR Pi)IN. To make a bowlful of cream sauce take a piece of butter the size of a small egg and beat it up with powdered sugar until it is a light cream. Then bet it aside, Then into a small Liit saucepan put a coffee cupful of water, and add to it at teaspoonful of flour mfixect in a little wa Cer. Cook this thoroughly until it is like thin starch. Then take up the butter and sugar Mixture, and, while you are beating it energeticaly, let Some one pour into it slowly and gradtually tilt hot llour-auce. If tih beitting is 1101 stopped for a mlomlent the whole sauce will riSe and be foaty as sea-froth. Plavor with wine, brandy or valilla, as preferred. This is the best sultce made.

WIT AND HUMOR.

Well, I am not stir prised, I always thonght that was about the direction he would go when he died." TEiiRE Is a certain Galveston family that does not attend church as regularly as they should, but they send the oldest boy every Sunday to keep up appearances. Last Sun day the head of the fanily said: "C'o dress yourself boy; it's time for youi to go to church." "L would like to know," re sponded the boy, sulkilv, "why I am the only one in this family who has get to be religious?" "IBecause you need it most., you scout)n(rel-that's why I" thundred the stern parent, feeling for thb young mar tyr's hair. (Indlinpplis, Intilanut, iFarmer.) Evorybody Bight.
