- AGRIOULTURAL. EFFoT OF HEAT ON BOGS -Hogs gener - ally gain very little auring the summer on account o' the neglect on the part of their pwners to provide for their comforf. In some cases their skin cracks- open by the influence of the direct rays of the sun, and sores are formed which are infe-ted by insects. The large amount of tat contained in the body of the hog renders it impatient of heat, rud means should be provided for renderinrg the animal as cool as possible. Us! pastures in which hogs are kept should be well supplied with water, not only for drinking but for cooling purposes. if there are no, natural streams or ponds, there should be poole made in which they can wallow when they desire. They should have plenty of grass and other green food, as weil as sour mnilk and slope. Corn and other beating articles of food should be fed sparingly. Cooling shade Is essential to the comfort and well being of hogs during the hot days of summner. Farmers who have the advantage of groves and forests located on the banks of streams and rivers, or on *he shores of lakies, generally have little trouble with hogs during the summer. The ground protected by the trees and bushes remains cool and moist even when that exposed to the rays of the sun Is parched and hot. The streanis and ponds allord water for drinking and bathing. The hog is a cleanly aninal when it is allowt d a fair chance. If a hog pasturo contains no natural shade and water, they should be provided. Water can be con ducted thiough pipes from springs and wells at a small expente, and inade to supply poels and watering troughs. shade can be affurded by planting trees or erect. Ing sheds covered by straw or running vines. OYrsuM AND HOW TJ APPLY iT. -Gypsum sulipLate u Aue, is nut strictly a lertil lzer, yet it acts diretly upon the plant and indirectly upon the soil as a fertilizer. When sown upon growing crops especially clover and the grasses, It attracts and gathers the aminonia of the atniosphere, and fixes it upon vegetation, delhquescing upon the leaves tnd spears, so that, it Is taken up into the circulation. This ai ionia not only serves as one of the nutri tive clems nts of crops, but is carried by the circulation down into the roots anti acts as a lertilizer in after years. It does not beneilt the crops upon all soils, for in. stance, it has not been found beneficial to crops in the tide water district of Virginia, as well as other localities. When clover. grasses and other crops, are two or three inches high, and the dews are heavy, sow the gypsum on the growing plant. when heavIty laden with dew before evaporation takes place in the morning. The plaster adheres to the green crops, foriming a sort of mucilage, attracting the ammonia, ant fixing it in the plints. One bush I. or le quanti.y will sullice for an acre, and do just ais well Is a large qua'ntity Its influ ence is felt, and seen, upon tie Cro pi in a few weeks after being sown. It is good for till garden vegetables and vines. ai dusted upon them frequently, will drive away insects. Br.io IloiA 80METiI INO.-Nearly every farinaci goes to the nearest vil!age to trade, visit a mechanic, or obtain his letters and papers, at least once a week. Ile often takes a load to imarket, but lie rarely brings one honie. Ile can, with very little trou ble, hatil a load of iaterial that may be obtained for nothing, and which will be of great benefit to his and. Most village people make no use of the ashes produced in their stoves or ie bones taken from1 the meiat, they conisumie. Searcely any brewver hais any use for the hops that have been bolled in lis vats, and the blacksmiithi hardly ever saves the clippings lie takes froum tile feet of horses. All these materi als makegexealent ninure. A barrel of shavings cut froim the hiools of horses con tains more ammionia than Is contained in a loat of stable manure, Applied to land without preparaition, they ianighit give no immiedinte resultis, buit they wvoulId become dc o.nposed in iline, tandt cr'ops of tall kinds would dlerive benetit, from them. 'I hey maay be so treated that they woLId produce imi mediate results. By covering them with fresh horsa mniutre they wilh decompose very rapidly. Thny mtay tilso he leached in a barrel and the water that~ covered them drawn off and at-piied to pltants. Water tn which pieces of horns anid hoofs have been soaked is an excellent manure for plauts that require forcing. It stimulates the growth of tomatoes, rose bushes aud house planta very rapidly, and eiuta no ot~eusiyo odors. A vast amount of fertil is ng miateiiat us wasted in towns that far mers couldi obitain the benenlt of with very little trouble. GREASR IS fataul to tall Insect life. lnsects breathie liy means oi smaill pores on their sides5. Grease or oil that comes in contact with the insects closes the pores5 and stops the bretit hing.

DOMESTIC. OnEnt GoosEERRINs FOiR TART.-Pill very clean, dry, wide-necked bottles with gooseberries picked the same day, in dry weather, and just before they have attain-' ed their full size. Wrap a little hay round each bottle, and set them up to their necks In a boiler of cold water, which should be brought very gradually to a boil; a little hay must be put in the bottom of the boil er, and the bottles flxeul firmly. Let the fruit simmer gently until it appears shrunken and perfectly scalded, then take out the bottles. and 1ill up as many as you can quite full with some of the cooked gooseberries-it is generally necessary to sacriflee one of the bottles in doing this, taking c,.re not to break the fruit. Direct ly the bottles are full of gooseb'rries, pour boiling water Into the bottles up to the brims, else they will inildew. . Tie bladder over the tops immediately, and keep the bottles in a d':y, cool place. When the gooseberr:es are used, pour off the greater part of the water, and add the same sugar as for fresh truit, of which thr y ought to have the same flavor and ap pearance. Prepared in this way, goose berries are perfectly wholesome, and will keep until the fruit comes In again. DRAwN WORK STITO iis.-These are for use on litton or crabh. For towels, table covers, buffet scarfs and doylees they are t most admirable. The pupil may begin I with the old hemstitch, and as sio pro- t gresses, add lace stitches herring-bone but. tonhole, overcasting, chain stitch, darning and knot stitch. Draw the threads from the end of a piece of linen for about an inch in depth. Pass a thread through the middle ot the strauds that are left, cross ing and catchhig them in bunches of two or three. This can be used as the heading for fringe around d oylces. Catch and secure with your needle a few ibreads close to the body If the stuff at top and bottom of a drawn pace. This loaves the effect of even rows of threads a little separated. Then use a chain stitch to draw'these rows together in bunches of four in the center. The foregoing pattern may. be elaborated by a thread imrotuced in a waving line over and under the bunches of threads. Repeat this waved line in returning, and where the lines cross in the center finilh with small figures in lace stitches. An in genious workman will make endless coi binations and varieties for herself. Pon -rim Siox.--Frequently we find sick people whose stOMachs reject all Rinds of ioulshmtent, until conditions follow that are in niany cases fatal. I have never known the simple saucer of parched corn pudding refused. Tile corn is roasted brown, precisely as we roast coffee,ground as ue as meal In a coifee-imill, and made either into izmush, gruel, or thin cakes, baked lightly brown and given either warn or cold, clear, or wiatever (ressirg the stomach will retain. Parched corn and mnical boiled in milk, awl fed frequently to children suffei ig ironi summer dlarrho a, will almost always cure, as it will dysen tory in adults. Worrn KNOwLNO.-A poison of any conceivable description and degree of pot ency, which has been Swallowed, inten tionally or by accident, may be rendered I instantly harmless by swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual with a very strong constitution should take twice the quantity. This oil will neutralize every t form of vegetable po.son with which the plysicians and chemists are acquainted. Cut this out. and save it; you might have great, cause of conigratulat ion for dloing so. loNNE'r IBAsxEr.-Ini some English houses a bonnet basket is found in the bed room atssigued~ to eacti guest. A flat wickeri basket with a cover, large enough to hold( t wo or three hants or bonnets, nmay be lined with pink or blue (lhagonial sileaia, t ie top interlaced with ribbon to match, which us tiedi in bows at the cornier of the lid.

Its toughness, elasticity, and close approach to traneparency naturally ltd, at first, to its use for windows, and especially to its employment in lanterns. It is found In large quantities iu bNorth Carolina, where there are unmistakable evidences that some of the beds were worked a great many years ago- The finer sheets of mica are now used for such purposes as the dials of compasses, the letterine of fancy signs, covering photographs, constructing lamp shades, reflectors, etc. Of late mica has been used in the soles of boots and shoes, as a protector against dampness. The in. vention consists of a sheet of mica embed ded in thin coatings of cement and placed in the boot and shoe between the outer and inner sole, the upper leather lopping over its edges, and covering the upper space from the toe to the instep. There are many other uses to which mica is put, and it Is be. coming more and in ore valuable as the arts and trades progress. (Oleaveland Leader.j Mr. Orlando Weatherbee, says an ex. change of ours, proprietor "The tpencer Pharmacy," Spencer, Mass., reports : My customers speak very highly of the Grest German Remedy, St. Jacob's Oil, it having always given excellent satisfaction. One of them, Mr. Henry Belcher, has been greatly benefited by its use in a case of severe rheumatism, and he refers to it In terms of highest praise. Nearly all marbles are made at Ober stien, Germany. There are large agate quarries and mills in that neighborhood, and the refuse is turned .to good account in providing the small stone balls for experts to "knuckle" with. The stone is broken into small cubes by blows of a light hani mer. Then small blocks of stone are thrown by the shovelful into the hopper of a small mill, I ormed of a bedastone, having its surface grooved with concentrate fur rws ; above this is the "runner," which is of sone hard wood having a level face on its lower surface.
