WILLAMETTE FARMER. UsifjL ltpORpVPON' Resistance of Woods to Strain. Professor U. H. Thurston, of the Stevens Institute of Technology, couimunlcnteg to the Journal of the Franklin Institute n descrip tion of an apparatus devised by him for deter mining the torsional resistance of materials, and also the result obtained by submitting specimens of different woods to experiment. By mechanism the force producing torsion is transmitted through tho test-piece, and mores a pencil which traces upon paper a curve, the ordiuates of which are proportional to the tor sional moment, while its abscissas represent the amount of torsion to which the specimen has been subjected, thus indicating the relative stiffness, strength, and resilience of tho mater ial experimented upon very perfectly. The test-pieces were se en-eighths of an inch in thickness at tho middle or smallest part. Some of tho conclusions drawn from the re mits am as follows: White pino jields quite rapidly as the torsiouul moment increases. The maximum strength of the test-piece was 15 foot-pounds, and it was twisted complete ly off at a total anglo of torsion of 1309. The substanco is thus shown to havo little resili ence. Yellow pine has much greater strength, stiffness and resilicnco. The sap-wood is equally stiff with tho heart-wood, but sooner passes Its limit of elasticity. Spruce is less tiff than white piuo even, but possesses greater strength and resilience, its moment of reslstunco reaching 18 foot-pounds and twist ing through a total uugle of torsion of 2003. Ash seems to be weaker and less tough than is Ronerally supposed. Its most striking pecu liarity is its very rapid loss of strength after passing its limit of elasticity. Spanish mahog any is very stiff and strong. It is deficient in toughness nnd resilience, losing its power of resistance very rapidly after passing tho limit of elasticity. White oak has less torsional strength than cither good mahogany, locust, or hickory, but is remarkable for its wonderful toughuiBS. It pusses its limit of elasticity at 15, but loses its resisting power very slowly. The latter rcmnius unimpaired to a torsion of 70, and jields completely at 233'. Mill Wrights aro evidently correct in holding this wood in high esteem for strength, toughness, and power of resisting heavy shocks and strains. Ick ron K.H'1N0 FnuiTS and VKOKTAnLrs. A correspondent of The Fhld, au English jour nal, relates his experience in keeping fruits and vegetables in an ice-house. Ilosajs: "I lay them upon cotton, in tin boxes (biscuit boxes will do) without any packing about them, shut down tho lid, and set tho boxes on tho ice, not buried in it. Peaches I havo kept quite n month in this way after they were dead ripe, and nectarines six weeks. I pluco them in shallow tin boxes, putting a piecu of cotton be tween the fruits, but otherwise leaving them uu coverci1. After they havo bicn long on the Ice thoy should not be brought out loug before they are used, us they do not keep loug afterwards without showiug specks. Teudtr-lleslieil mol ons, thatwill not keepa week in the fruit room in summer, will keep three or four weeks in the ico-houso. Cucumbers will keep a very long time, and I have known tho autumn and winter supplies great y prolonged by storiug them away in boxes in the samo way as fruit. French beans should be packtd in bundles and sit on their ends in boxes. I am sure those who try tho plan ouco will resort to it again," Knamkl ron Corrhn Cookino Vkssma. To enamel the iubide of Conner cooking vessels in which acid fruit aud vegetables aro cooked, and thus prevent the formation of tho so-called "vtrdigris, tun following method is recom mended: Twelvo parts of white fluor mmr, twelve parts unburnt gypsum, and one part borax are finely nowdcreu. intlmatelv mixed, and fused iu a crucible. Tho fused nmss is then poured out, and after cooling is rubbed up to a paste. The copper vessel is to bo coated inside with this preparation, applied by nuaus of a brush, and tho vessel placed in a moder ately warm place, so that the coating may dry uniformly; after which it is subjected to a gradually increasing heat, till ut length tho preparation fuses. On cooling, tho csel is found to be protected internally by a white, opaquo enamel, adhering very llrniiy to the copper, not chipplug off by ordinary Knocking and rubbing, and impervious to cgctable acids. Economical So nth. As cheap perfumes aro ofttu required to 1111 little fancy bottles, such as are sold at tho bazaurs, toy-shops, arcades aud other places, the following rtcipes for thtlr manufacture will be found of service: 1. Spirits of wine, ouopiut; essence of ber gauiot, one ounce. 2. Spirits of wine, ouopiut; otto of santal, ono ounce. 3. Spirits of wine, ono pint; otto of French lavender, half ounce; otto of borgatuot, half ounce; otto of clous, ouo dram. 1.

Oil-Cloth Madk. rr.oMCAiti'JT. Tho follow, ing recipe is communicated to tho t'uHIiifor and Country Otnlltmnn, by a correspondent, who Mgus herself "Daisy Kyi bright:" Xnil the old llrilssi In carpet loosely to the lloor, in a large uttio or wood-house chamber not iu use. Then paint it over with a thick coat of Unset d oil and burnt umber. Let it dry inthoinughl; add a coat of good vuruisli. Let that dry for a wetk or two, and it can be scrubbed and washed with milk and water like an oil-cloth. Paint it on the wrong side-, and uail it down iloscly, for it nerd not betaken up for many j ears. As the varnish and paint wear off, renew them, aud thus it will last four times as long as com mon oil-cloth. K " II "chooses, he cm orna ment it with a border of scarlet, green or blue lines. Vakmsh ron Liuils. Never varnish a label for acid bottles, but use parulliue instead The only thing necessary is to brush tho parufilne on as hot as possible, so as to get a thin, even coating. It looks as well as aruuh, and stands a great deal better. It hums a gnat ileal of trouble in BUing aud varnishing, and rive minutes after the bottle has been brushed it is ready for use. Instead of sealing the tops of bottles sample bottlesof bleaching powder, uml for other purposes it is very convenient to have a small porcelain dish with parulliue always ready, which cm bo placed upon u lamp, and, as soon as warm, dip the top of the bottle in it, which gives as good a fcealinewax, or better, uud causes very much less trouble.

Pertinent to tho BUbject recently discussed iu tho article entitled " Chemical Pood for Men and Animals," wo find in tho liritish Medical Journil a communication from Dr. John Good man upon artificial fibrino, as food, iu which ho strongly recomnuinU it as a diet for sick persons, and gives tho following directions for its manufacture and use: "As a member of the British Medical Association, and in tho com mon iuterests of humanity, I havo pleasure in calling attention to my discovery of this new elletctio substanco. So far as I have employed it, it promises fair to be Invaluable iu medical practice, especially iu cases of feeble nliuienta tlon and deficient nutrition, aud second to none iu those rases where rejection of food forms a prominent feature, or where tho appe tite, and digestlvo powers aro reduced to a mini mum. As fibrinous material, it is of course highly nutritious, and eminently adapted to all cases where there isaelcflciency of fibrlnoiu the blood. It is. perhaps, unparalleled in its duali ties of lightness and digestibility, aud is, more over, a great delicacy. In many urgent cases of rejection of food, etc., it not only remains where an egg otherwiso cooked would not be tolerated, but its presence in the stomach has been found to creato a feoling of want rather than of superfluity, and to promoto rather than decrease tho appetito for food. "The production of this substance is within tho reach of every sick room, aud is effected with great facility. It is formed by exposing albuminous material to tho operation or influ ence of cold water, for n given period; and on account of its great plenteousness we employ tho ordinary hen's e'gg for its production. hen tho shell is broken ami removed, and its con tents aro immersed in cold water for twelve hours or so, they are found to undergo acheml-co-molecular change, and to bt coico solid aud insoluble. This change is indicated by the assumption, by tho transparent white of the e'gg, oi an oimipio ami snowy wiuto appear ance, which far surpasses that of au ordinary boiled egg. The product, and the fluid in which it is Immersed, must now bo submitted to tho action of heat to the boiling point, when tho fibrino will bo ready for use." About Clothing. Tho underclothing wo mean its deepest strata iu Imninllate contiguity to ttio lioilj has quite as much to elo with a pe rsou's com fort, health and good looks, uud consequently with his or her success iu life, as the outsidi nnnarel. publio onlnion to the contrary not withstanding. It is pertinent, here as else- where, to looK uuue.itn tue suriaco tu lurm our judgement of the individual. Cloudiness wo take for granted, "l'oul linen," and healthy skin are iiicoinpatlbles. Palstaff himself, whose stomach was not eusllv turned, could not abide the "rank com poll nil of villainous smells," which he buffered m the buck-bisket. The first quality demanded in the articles which come uoxt the skin is, that they bo soft and comlortable. They must not Irritate, nor bo chilly or lusting, fu out mii.d, ono of tho most dreadful p nances of convent life is that mentioned by Victor Hugo iu Ut Jiw ahlts. He sajs that the nuns of a certain order aro obliged to clotho themselves in harsh woolen cloth next the skin. The Irritation is so distressing that they aro not unfrt queutl) thro aii by it into a fever, and break out iu au eruption from head to foot. The amount of clothiug should be carofull) adjusted to the temperature. When too scant), the skiu is chilled uud is liable to crack; when too abundant, the excessive warmth may cause au eruption and itchiness. Cotton, liueii, wool uud silk are the prevail ing materials employed. Of these cotton is the cheapest and commonest. It is a good conductor of heut, aud is the best adapted of any of them for warm climates and the hot seuson. Its fibers, however, are courser and rougher thau thoseof line n,and there are persons so beusltive to this slight difference that they cannot wear it. Such must have recourse to linen. For cold weather, wool or silk is preferable. Doth these have one objection. That is, that on the slightest friction they disturb tho elec tricity of the skiu, cause a determination of blood" to the surface, and sometimes lead to cutaneous eruptions. This holds good, more particularly agaiust silk, which, in polut of texture, is much more agreeable than even the finest wool, and is also a worse couductor of heat. The latter is an advantage iu winter. Health or Ciuldbkn A Fkw Bulks. Both over-feeding and under-feeding produce scrofula and consumption. The spoiled aud petted child is injured both in health and temper. Avoid seasoned dishes, fried and salted meats, pastry, uncooked vegetables, unripe fruits, wines nnd rich cakes. Insist on thorough chowlng, or mastication. Never tempt the appetite when dlsiucllued. Vary the food from day to day, but avoid variety at oue meal. Aulunl food should be tender, aud eaten with a little salt, vegetables, and bread. Take care that the child's food is well cooked. Olve no new bread. Sweetmeats aud confections aro only to b giveu to childron iu a very sparing manner, if given at all. Never pamper or reward with eatables. AnocT CitiLPnKV. Dress children warmly, woo'en tlanncl next their person during the wholo year. By every consideration, protect the extremities well. It is au iguoraut barba rism that allows n child to have bare arms, legs and feet, even in summer. The circulation should be invited to tho extremities; warmth eloes that; cold repels it. It is at the hands and feet we begin to dlo. Those who have cold hauds and feet are uover well. Plenty of warmth, plenty of substantial food and ripe fruits, and plenty of joyous out-door exercise, would save millions of children annually. Isouowino Tok-Nail. In bad cases the fol lowing courso is recommeuded tn surgeons aud others: It a small, thin, flat pleco of silver plate bo bout at oue edge iuto a slight deep groove, and, after the toe has been poulticed tweuty-four hours, slipped beneath the enlge of tho nail, so as to protect the flesh from its pres sure, and the rest of the thin plate bent round tho side aud frout of tho toe, be ing kept iu po sition with a small portiou of resin plaster passed round tho toe, a speedy and almost painless euro will take place, and the patient, after the first day, has tho additional advantage of being able to walk. Plants in Booms. The reason why plants fade so soon, is because duo atttentlon is not mid to them. The moro supplying with water (snot sufficient. The leaves should bo kept perfectly clean. "If as much washing were bestowed, iu Loudon," says Dr. Lindley, "upon a pot-plant as upon a lap-dog, tho ono would remalu in as good condition as the other. The reasons are obvious. Plants breathe by their leaves; sud if their surface is clogged by dirt of whatever kind, their breathing is imped on or prevented. Plants perspire by the ir haves; ami dirt prevents their perspiration. Plants feed by their leaves; and dirt prevents their feeding. So that breathing, perspiration, and food, are fatally interrupted by the accumula tion of foreign matter upon leaves. Lot any one, after reading this, cast au eye upon the state of plants iu sitting-rooms, or well-kept pr enhouses; let him draw a white haudker shlof over tho surface of such plants, or a I ill re of smooth white leather, if fio desires to ;now how far they are from being as clean as their nature roquirrs." How tukt Cook Bkans it Maink. I wish sonio of your readers who stew beans would try tho following receipt for baking them. This is tho way the down-east lumbermen conk them, who eat them twice a day for four or five months each year: Take ono quart of beans; first soak, if pen beans, until they aro swelled full; it will tako ovor night certain; If yellow eves, pir-boll until the skins crack open when blown au with tho breath; drain off tho water, put about two-thirds of tho beans iu the pot; put in about ono nnd one-half jvounds of salt fat pork, then the rest of tho beans; bako not less than twelve hours, first covering the beans with hot water. Theso aro genuino Yankee pork and beans. The way they are cooked in tho woods is this: A hole is dug at tho font of the tire, filled with hot coils, the beau pot put in, filled around with coals aud covered with hot ashes, where it remains from 3 p. m. until breakfast the fol lowing morning about fourteen or fifteen hours. There aro probably moro beans eaten In Maine than In tho whole State of New York. Sew l'ork World. DinrtrnoNs ron Caiipkts. Carpels should bo taken up uud shaken thoroughly, if iu constant use, as often as three or four tunes in a iar, us the dirt that collects underneath them wears them out very fast. Straw kept under carpets will make them wear lunch longer, as the dirt will sift through, aud keen it from grinding out. Carpets should be taken up us olten as oucu n year, even if not much used, as the ro is danger of moths getting into them. If there is any appearance of mollis in carpets whin they are taken up, sprinkle tobaoco or black pepper on the lloor bi fore the carpets are put down, and let it remain after tiioy are laid down. When tho dust is well shaken out of carpots, if the r urn any grease spots on them, grate on potter's clay very thick, eovir tin in with a brown paper, and set on a warm iron. It will bo necessiiry to repeat this process sovcrul turns tu get eiut all the greuse.
