/UuttlDtm still promise* to becomo
the "matal of tho njje," notwithstand-
ing tho difficulties that have bjen mot
in producing it. Of late it h is been
made the subject of numerous ana
valuable experiments. A prominent
French metallurgist has been for sev-
eral years conducting experiments with
the metal, nnd expresses it as his be-
lief that it is destined to become one
of the most useful of mctnls, displacing
even iron andsleel. One of the exper-
iments which he has been conducting,
nnd which he has succeeded in bring-
ing to a successful issue, is the plating
of other metals with aluminum, and,
in view of tho prominence in commer-
cial Interests of this new moial, the
process and effect of his system may
be of interest, and in substance is as
follows:
"The motnl to be plated, be It iron,
steel, copper, or what not, is first
thoroughly cleaned i<> an acid bath.
Then it iB pluccd in a compound bath,
the ingredients of which aro borate of
soda, hydrated alumina and some
kind of fusible flux. Then It goes into
a muflle, having sevoral trays or Hues
for the admission of vapors and escapo
of gases generate 1 during the pro-
cess. The muflle Is he ted to a high
pitch, and salts of aluminum, general*
ly in tho shapo of it chloride, aro heat-
ed in a clay vessel until they vaporize;.
Iho vapors are then conductod into tho
muffle by one of the flues. As a result,
aluminum is deposited on tho prepared
heated hip Lai. To prevent oxidation,
nitrogen is forced into tho muflle
along with tho ohlorlde of aluminum
vapor. Only u small quantity of waste
gases is formed during tho process,
and these, together with tho surplus
nitrogen, escape through the flues,
but are collected and may be again
used in other ways. It <s said that
this method is very thorough; so
thorough, indeed, that not only is a
coating of aluminum deposited on the
surface of the iron or copper, but
much of the prccious metal is actually
Absorbed by the heated aud expanded
iron or copper, so that au actual alloy
is formed, which gradually shados off
to a surface of pure aluminum.
"Tho value of this process ought to
be very great This coating of alumi-
num is found to increase very materi-
ally the strength of the object to
which it is applied. It is of utility in
machinery, for axles, etc., because the
aluminum is anti-friotional. Then it
Is not tarnished by either acids or
alkalies, nor eaten into by them.
This fact makes un aluminum plating
most dersirable for household utonslls
of all kinds. Curiously enough, it
both conveys heat more rapidly and
retains it longer th n almost any
other kuown metal, which makes it of
special value in cooking utensils. M.
Brin is enthusiastic on tho subject,
and looks for the coming of an iluml-
num ago, when this wonderful motal
shall supersede all others for aluiodt
all tho ueses of mankind."

"A farm without a boy would soon
come to grief," say what you will
about tho general usefulness of boys.
It appears to me that many farmers
do not appreciate tho work they do,
nor give them all tho credit they de-
serve. A famous writer says that it is
quite easy to bo a boy, but that it
takes a great deal of praetico to bo a
good <>ne; and this seems especially
true of farmer boys. The term "good
boy" is not easily defined, for in one
community it moans one thing, in an-
other, something quite different. In
general, however, this term is applied
to boys who are obedient and sub-
missive. but from an agricultural
point of view this forms but the small-
est part of its meaning. Here, besides
willingness to obey promptly and a
general good behavior, ho must work
—do a great doal and do it well. Un-
less he eomhines these qualities, he
can hardly hopo to bo classed as a
••go( boy."
It is largely due, no doubt, to the
j rigid requirements reposed on their
early lives, that many truly great
men can trace the beginning of their
greatnoss to tho influences and disci-
l pline of some lonely plantation. As a
j rule, farmer boys do not enjoy the
! privileges nnd advantages that othor
boys onjoy; yet despito this fact
many a farmer boy laboring under
I adverse circumstances, has fought
; his way to tho front. Look around
you and you will find among the most
successful of your acquaintances, men
I who suffered many hardships and
I privations during their early lives.
: Such men have filled with credit posi-
, tionsof the greatest responsibility. It iu
a noticeable fact that courage, self-reli-
ance und perseverance uro tho distiu-
' guishing traits of character of such men.
; It is said that life is what wo make it,
I and whilo this muy be true iu a great
| measure, it is also true that our sur-
j roundings cxerclso a wonderful influ-
: ence on our charactor, on its physical,
moral and intelloctual sides.
I It is unnecessary to alludo to men
who were born and bred in tho ••back-
woods," received their primary edu-
cation in a little log school houso in
some out-of-the-way place and finally
j roso to eminonce. Any one who hub
| evor read tho lives of noted men can
name such men. At the present day
J many of our civil officers and profos-
j sioual men point with pride to the
! rustic scenes—scenes of their boyhood
j days. But as a rule, farmer boys feol
I littlo satisfaction and less amusement
i in their situation. And if we consider
tho numerous duties that usually de-
' volvo upon them and thoir condition
\ genor-ally, wo could liadly oxpect it
I to bo otherwise.
Winter Care of Stock,
A great deal of cruelty is thouglit-
j lessly inflicted upon tho animals in
wintering them. Sheep aro the only
j domesticated animals that do not re-
: quire careful wintering in well-pro-
tected barns or sheds. Nature has
provided them with a covering in :
j thoir pelts and fleeces which defies
storms and winds. Too close confino-
I ment of sheep, however, engenders
tho rot, which often reduces tho flock
to one-half its original size. The open-
j rang*- is necessary for tho health and
corah rt of thoso animals, but some
•ort of protected shod or pen should
also bo provided for them so that they
cuti go under it if they choose. But
moro harm is done among sheep in too
close confinement than in letting them
havo the full benefit of an open range.
The milch cows and horses, however,
arc not thus protected by nature, and
they must have good attention in the
winter. Knough has been enid about
tight, warm nnd well-vetilated barns
and stables, but there is another kind
of protection which tho stock need.
On fair, cold days they do not want to
bo cooped up in the burns, but should
be allowed to got some of tho sunshine
j and fresh air. Exercise is conducive
| to their health, and the moro I hey can
get out of this tho bolter will thoir
health bo preserved. Colts especially
should bo kept outside until they ure
thoroughly broken, und daily exercise
is absolutely necessary for their wcll-
beiug.
Out stock should have some sort of
shelter to go to at any time, and yet
be able to get fresh air and race about
freely. A rude shelter of corn stalks
und wheat straw can easily be made
in one corner of iho lot- Make two
walls of posts aud rails, running east
J and weet. and about ten feet apart.
* Cover those with wheat straw, and the
, lop with cornstalks. This makos an
effective shelter for tho horses on cold
day-, nnd they will frequently stand
on the south side of tho wall to sun
themselves in the daytime. The double
walls will protect them from tho cold,
northerly winds, and the fresh air and
sun will be greatly enjoyed by them.
Stock is never well wintered unless tho
feed and wator aro given to them
properly.
Keeping stork Well Iledded.
Sheep will work down a big pilo of
straw into good manure if a littlo is
thrown under them every day. Their
droppings mixed with straw get up a
gentle heat after tho pile grows to a
foot or moro in thickness. Iu tho
very coldest weather a well enclosed
barn basement will not freeze where
sheep aro bedded thus. It is not bud
way to keep othor stock excepting
miich cows, which can hardly be
i trusted to keep themselves in eondi-
! tiou for milking without tho daily ro-
! moval of all excrement, so thut the
cow need nover get herself bedaubed
j with her own solid or liquid droppings.
HreeilliiK llornl«s« ('ova.
i In tho breeds of cuttle which
naturally havo horns, tho process of
j dishorning after ono or two gener-
ation produces progeny thut are
1 naturally mooleys. The shape of the
head is nlso changed when dishorn-
: ing is done at an early ngo, and with
it the character of tho animal. The
moro active and nervous the breed ;
; tho greater is the need of breeding it ,
into the raooley, especially as this is
j done without apparent injury to its
1 other and more valued characteristics
£ellluic Wheat a* Flonr.
It is the practice of some farmers to
; havo their wheal made into flour, aud
i havo it 6old thus, they retaining its
I bran and charier portions for Hock
feed. When the flour Is sold at whole-
sale rates it brings about as much as
the wheat itself would da But on
flour in ten, twenty-live or fifty-pouud
lots a higher price is paid aud a larger
profit made. The greatest advantage
is that when the bran and mill feed !
aro kept on the farm very littlo thut 1
takes from soil fortilily is removed.
If wheat is sold largely bnn und mill
feed should at least be bought in equal I
proportions.
Kerure (ioml Out Set-il.
The oaterop lust season was general-
ly poor, nnd tho oats were light tut ,
well. It will be hard in many cases j
to got plump, full weight seed, but
this is iinportaut to prevout tho noxi
crop from further deterioration. It is
better wuen feoding oats to winnow
out the heaviest und save for seed. If
oats uro threshod by baud, the heav-
iest aud plumpest comoout first, while
some of the lightest cau hardly bo
separated from the chaff. This is
really a good way to secure tho best
out seed cut of any given crop.
Kali Fur Fruit Tree*.
An occasional heavy dressing of
snlt in tho npple orchard groally in-
creases its productiveness. Salt is a
solvent, and makes all plant food in
tho soil more available. It also in-
creases the moisturo of soils, aud more
often than almost any other crop fruit
trees suffer from drought. Phosphate
often goes into insoluble forms in tho
soil. It is nature's way of locking it
up to prevent wuste. There is no
cheaper way to unlock it for any crop
thuu to use salt freely.
Hints to llouaekeepera.

A food rule is to use pastry flour
whenever baking-powder is used nnd
bread flour with yeast.
Never put potatoes ou tho table in a

Lamp chimneys may be cleanod by
holding them over the steam from a
teakettle, and then rubbing them with
soft cloth. Polish with newspaper.
Ribbons and othor silks should bo
put uwuy for preservation in brown
paper, :is the chloride of lime used in
manufacturing white paper frequently
produces discoloration.
Iron rust may bo removed from
marble by taking ono part of nltr c
acid to twenty-five parts of wator and
applying it carefully to tho spots,
liinse off with ammonia and water.
To take the rust out of steel, rub the
steel with sweet oil; in ti day or two
rub with finely powdored unslaked
lime until tho rust all disappears, then
oil again, roll in woollen and put in n
dry place, especially if it bo table
cutlery.
Scrubbing brushes should be kopt
with bristles down and they will last
twice as long; common sense will tell
you if you stand them the othor way

All fruit that requires paring should
be put Immediately in very cold wator,
and allowed to remain until sufficient
quantity has been prepared: this pre-
vents the fruit from becoming discol-

it is desired to keep its shape and
color, it may be dipped quickly into
strong lemon juice, and when the
syrup is made in which it is to be
cooked, a littlo lemon juice may bo
added. Some cooks uso alum water
for hardening fruit for preserving, but
we do not advise it.

victims to disease and disaster.
Professor Henry believes that
without au extra outlay of money
moro profitable and rational meth-
ods may ho followed—methods of
feeding that will produce sound
sweet, healthful meat.
First of all, we must see to It that
breeding sows tiro fed a proper
ration in which porteiu compounds
form a liberal share. The young
Iiigs must likewise have a goodly nl-
owance of portein,while the mature
hogs, when fattening, can he fed a
large proportion of carbohydrates,
especially if we wish to make a large
proportion of lard. The food articles
ut our command which are rich in
portein are skim milk, buttermilk,
shorts, bran, peas, green clover and
the like.
Without nttemp.ing to give pre-
ciso rules for guidance, the follow-
ing statements will bo found of
value:
During gestation breeding sows
should have only a email allowance
of corn, tho feed being mainly that
which will go to give her young
good sound bodies. Such feed would
be shorts, (middlings or ship stuff,)
bran, skim milk, buttermilk, and
clover. When suckling her young
of course milk is cue of the best art-
iciesnt our command. When wean-
ed, the pigs may eat, say, two parts
of milk by weight,ono part of shorts
and one part of corn meal. A run
on good clover would go far to make
a good frnmo. When near maturity,
the ration can be changed more and
more to tho carbonaceous, and for
the last two mouths,when fattening,
tho feed can be largely corn, if one
desires fat pork; but if lean, juicy
meat is required,the muscle making
food must be continued.
Turpi*
nl Cholcr
While the scientists and the regu-
lars are hunting for a specific
against hog cholera, laymen may bo
permitted to suggest possible, if not
probable remedies. Wevoral contri-
butors to this paper havo told of the
success they have had with spirits
of turpentine, and some time ago a
French savant made this discovery
that dipthheria in fowls, assumed
many forma—that roup, thrush, pip,
and diseases of tho throat, liver aim
intestines, each nnd all, originated,
or wore caused l y tho same germn-
sorospernua, the active agent in
diphtheria. Knowing that the
spirits of turpontine had proved to
be rather successful remedy
against the sanio named disease in
children, experiments were made
with it, and with suprising effects.
Incase of sick fowls, the mode of
using it was in the form of fumes
produced in any convenient way,
and the application of a weak alco-
holic lotion to the exposed surfaces,
and as an internal remedy, in doses
of two or throe drops twice a day, in
the food.
Now, hog cholera assumes as
many forms and phases as diphthe-
ria, and having the benefit of the ex-
periences of thoso who have used
tho spirits successfully, we may
reasonably assume turpentine is a
valuable remedy, and when rightly
used, may prove a specific; but we
must camion experimenters against
largo internal doses—twenty drops
twice a day being sullicient, and in
such form may ho administered in
sour milk or buttermilk.
To give sick hogs the benefit of
the fumes is not a difficult job; all
that is necessary a lightish pe. ,
but not too tight. Take a tin or iron
pan, pour in a pint for live or six
hogs, set it in ono corner, and light
11 lamp under it; when three-fourths
evaporated, set lire to the remainder
and a dense black smoke will arise
that the patients will bo compelled
to breathe, ns they have previously
the fumes, of course, caro must be
taken to avoid suflicatlon, au easy
thing with a sick hog that is at the
same time plethoric and fat. Incase
of ulcers or sores, an alcoholic lotion
might be of service when the patient
is not otherwise very sick, but gen-
erally it would be of little life.
That eminent practicing physi-
cian, tho late Austin Flint, 111 his
latest communication to n medical
society, gave it 11s his opinion we
aro about entering on a now era in
medicine, because the germ theory
of disease is prob. b y a correct one,
and that ns soon as germ-killers
were found, prevention and remedy
wen secondary matters.

gentleman fifty-nine years of age,
and this is what he says : "I have
"used your August Flower for sev-
" eral years in my family and for my
"own use, and found it does me
'' more good than any other remedy.
" I have been troubled with what I
" call Sick Headache. A pain comes
" in the back part of my head first,
" and then soon a general headache
"until I become sick and vomit.
" At times, too, I have a fullness
" after eating, a pressure after eating
"at the pit of the stomach, and
"sourness, when food seemed to rise
" up in my throat and mouth. When
j " I feel this coming on if I take a
" little August Flower it relieves
" me, and is the best remedy I have
" ever taken for it. For this reason
"I take it and recommend it to
" others as a great remedy for Dys-
"pepsia, &c." ®

Buckwheat is a valuable crop, un-
der good culture. It is grown in ev-
ery part of tho United States except
the arid territories. The produc-
tion of 1HHS was more than 12,000.000
bushels, value at $7,000,000. Now
York and Pennsylvania produced
three-fourths of the whole; West
Virginia and Michigan como next.
It is largely grown in Germany,
where it furnishes a large amount of
food for the poorer part of tho popu-
lation. No other grain is so good
for feeding brood sows tiiid pigs, and
it is excellent for cows kept for milk
alone.

Keep Your Blood Pure.
A small quantity of prevention is worth many pounds
of curc. If your blood is in good condition the. liability
to any disease is much reduced and the ability to resist
its wasting influence is tenfold greater. Look then to
your blood, by taking Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) every
few months. It is harmless in its effects to the most
delicate infant, yet it cleanses the blood of ail poisons
and builds up the general health.
('C O O cured me souud and well of contagious Blood Poison As
