HINT ON MILKING Cows.--A man wbo had done his own milking employed a boy to do it ; he shrunk the milk one third In two weeks. The owner resumed the milk ing and in two weeks got the same as be fore. Afterward he set a hired man to milk, and lie sunk the milk 10 pur cent. in two weeks: and in two weeks more, the owner milking again, got as much as be fore. 'Ihis man does the work quickly and milks very clean. He closes the fore linger and thumb around the teat higli up, and makes a downward motion, tightening the grip and forcing-out the milk; then lets go his hold, keeping the thumb and linger in circle, carries ip the hand and presses it snartly against the udder, and closes and pulls down as before, and so repeats until done. The philosophy, if any, is to give as near as may be the same motion that the calf does in sucking. Many a good cow is partially despoiled of her good qualities in consequence of being improp erly milked. Cows that are in milk should be watched and given extra feed so soon as signs of a falling off are seen. It Is very diaIlcult to increase the flow after a shrinkage occurs. 15o soon as the pasture begins to get short, supplement the feed of the 1ield by a ration of green corn fodder in the yard or stall. Alany cows suffer from cxcessive heat, being exposed the wholh day through the hot sun in a treeless yasture. A pasture sh,>uld afford a comfortable place, as well as furnish food for the animals, that the greatest profit may be obtained. Pios profit by a good run in clover, or fresh grass. They are naturally clean an iials, and only become "pigs" when they have mire and mu tid holes for a run. Young pigs that are designed for the early wintr market should be pushed now by extra feed. A rapid growth at this time will make nauch diffe ence in the profit of keep ing pigs. Pig pork is the best, and young pigs ot an early niaturing breed should, therefor, be fattened from the start. Sour milk is not enough for theni; add grain feed in liberal quantities. Ci/.;%nR Synn ix AurUMN.-A pennsyl vania lai nier who has tried it, recommends that when the spring sowing of clover seed does not "catch" owing to drouth or other causes, that sowing clover seed upon the tubble in August, or early September, will generally repair the damage, either with or without harrowing in, although hiarrowing is the iost, reliabile practice. The cost of the extra secti is but a trifle conipared with changing the proper rota tion of crops established upon every well regulated larm. IF feathered slock is rightly managed dlirases of fowls will he coullaratively i are. Breedng "[in r.nd in," or breeding "close" even, is productive of more delica cdes of constitution than most poultry keep ers are aware of. It is bad business to be fussing -with sick fowls. Better breed right. Siirrs are an excellent fertilizer ror po. tatoes. Dainpened and put in the hill they produoe a gooi crop 1a nd of very smooth tubes.

Take out the goods, dry them and then rinse in clear, cold water. Use a clean brass kettle for heating the dye. For Brown, take for 20 pounds of goods, 4 lbs. of japonica, 5 oz. sulphate of copper in crystals, and 9 oz. bichromlate of potash; take water eaough to cover the goods; boil it with the japonica until this is dissolved; add tile copper sul phate, put in the goods and leave them 12 hours. Then wring them out; dissolve the bichromate of potash In boiling water; put in the goods and stir them well for 16 min utes; then air and wash them; beat the japonica again and put in the goods for 12 hours more ; wring them and put them In the bichromate solution boiling hot. Then wash in hot soap suds. Cotton rags should be dyed first and then the woolen ones may be put through the dye. For Yellow, use 1 lb of fustic chips with 31 oz, alum to 2 pounds of rags, Steep the fustic for 12 hours in hot water; put In the goods and soak until the color is deep enough. For Blue, on woolen use solution of Indigo add ing the dye, a tablespoonful at it timie, until the color is deep enough. For cotton take China blue, 2 oz. and 1 oz. of oxalic acid; soak the blue 12 hours in a tin pall; dissolve the acid in an earthen bowl and add it to the blue. leat to boiling, but do not boil. Put In the goods, and let them stay 2 hour's; dry them, rinse and dry again in the shade. For Green, put the yellow goods through the blue (lye. Or for cotton, put the blue goods through a solution of jilb. of sugar of lead and I lb. of bicbromate of potash each made separately; the goods are dipped from one to the other until tile shade suits. For Orange, put the yellow goods into a weak red dye until tibe shade is deep enough. Slate and Dove colors are made by boiling 4 oz. of coarse black tea in an Iron pot with it teaspoonflul of copperas and sufficient soft water to cover the goods. To get the best colors without streakiness let the goods be well covered and every thing be perfectly free front grease. AMRiHIOAN patchwork, known by the name of "loghouse quilting" In Canada, has quite recently been introduced into Eng land. It is a variety of patchwork into which strips of colored ribbon are intro dluced. The pieces forming the design are not separately sewn together, as in ordinary patchwork, but a five-Inch foundation square of calico is provided, in the centre of which a small one an inch and a quarter square, of piece silk or satin. is tacked. Round this a uarrrow ribbon is run, four iows being r quired to 1111 up the louinda tion square. This narrow, ribbon is selected of different shaiides and colors and is so ar ranged that on two sides of the centre square it is of a light shade, on the other two lark (managed by only taking each shade of ibbon half way round the centre.) Several of these five. inch squares are form ed, and they are then sewn together like ordiary patchwork pieces and iade up so that the light aide of one squarC is next the light sile of the! next square, and the dark next the dark, giving the look of alternate squares of light and dark colors. TI effect of this work depends upon the judicious selection of the narrow ribbon as to its shades of color and their contrasts with each other. The centre square of piece silk siould alwaws be dark, but not black. To Cas1x A iHooM or MosQuIox.

I he two would- be hus. banuds met at the house ot the pretty double. dealer provided with marriage licenses. Did the swains blow each other to atomns with double-barreled shot-guns, or perfor ate each other with big bullets from large revolvers I Nothing of the kind. They simply compelled the coquette to accept one of them, with the, to her, horrible un dertanding that the rejected one, instead of going out to commit suicide for love of her, was to have the name In one of the licenses altered so as to enable him to marry a maiden across the way, a hated rival, too. Instead of a double shooting there was a dual weddfug, and the ieretricious girl, who tried so hard to make two moein miser able, only 'succeeded Il readering a rival happy.

Ah inventfotk has just been made by a firm of German gun manufactors which promises to add very greatly to the pow er of artillery. Hitherto the fear of pre mature explosions during the transport or filling of shells has prevented any large em ployment of nitro-glycerine, and certain other extremely violent but easily inflam mable explosivee, for the ourpose of cliarg iug them. It is claimed for the new inven lion that it will enable such substances to be used without danger. The interior of the shell is divided into a number of cells, which are to contain substances non-ex plosive in themselves, but which, when combined, form a powerful explosive. The walls of the cells must therefore be broken up befbre an explosive cl.arge is formed within the shells; and the inventor pro poses to make these partitions of such strength that, while they will withstand ordinary jolting, they will be shattered by the shook to which a projectile is subjected when tired from a gun. 'A new life-saving appliance has been re cently invented by Mr. Sherwell of Ports. mouth, England, which may prove of widespread utility. The invention is de signed to serve the double object of a bell buoy, indicating the presence of a danger ous shoal, and a refuge for shipwreck mari ners to swim to when it would be impossi ble for a lifeboat to reach them. It is re presented as a flat-bottomed, bell-mounted vessel, on which is erected an octagonal dome capable of accommodating a ship's crew, access to which is gained by means of ladders fitted to the gunwale. Mr. Shur well is the maker of several buoys; and his new invention has been highlT approved by the expert and naval authorities to whom it was submitted. As such a contrivance can be inoored at well-known and the most dangerous shoals where many vessels have foundered and many more may be expect. ed to founder, its simplicity, accessibility to drowning seaman and its effectiveness as a warning will commend it for use on other besides the Euglian coasts.
