Kiln-Drying ef Lumber.
A correspondent of the American
C ib.net Maker, after many experi
incuts and much tribulation gives the
following for the bcuefit of the pub
lie •
The eventual increase of business re
quired more room for drying purposes
and I set about to ascertain, if possible
how to improve my kiln. After a muL
tiplicitj|ot inquiries and a vast amount
of correspondence, 1 happily hit upon a
plan which l have used with success and
which 1 can conscientiously recommend
as perfect.
in the first place l built my kiln of
tlio proper dimensions to accommodate
11 y ptock.aud within it placed a seiies
of joists in such a manner that a current
of air could circulata throughout the
entire area of the kiln.
To better illustrate it, we will suppose
the kiln was 13 feet square in the clear,
which at 12 inches apart from centers
would require 14 joists ; these l cue 12
ieot long and placed them within the
kiln in such a manner that each alter
nate joist left a space ofl foot between
the end of the joist and the side of the
kiln. 1 arranged the joists so that the
{.puces occured at alternate sides of the
kiln. I then had constructed a coil of
I,incli gas pipe 15 feet long and 2 feet
square : this i “housed in” outside of
the kiln to which it was attached by
uieans of a wood 3D pipe 12 inches square
in such a manner that it entered the
kil nbelow the slat door ; then by means
of a Sturtevant Fan, I exhausted the
heat radiated by the pipes directly iuto
my dry house, where it diffused itself
equally.
In connection with this arrangements
which was supplied by live steam direct
ly from the boiler, I introduced the ex
haust pipe of my engine directly beneath
my kiln and would allow the steam to
escape into a “new kiln of lumber for a
whole day, at the expiratiou of which
time I would turn off the escape steam
and use the blast; by this means I was
i ~nblcd to thoroughly season a kiln of
asm or walnut lumber in six days time
and 1 had the supreme satisfaction of see
ing my lumber come out perfect in con
dition and shape.
In “stacking” lumber in my kiln T in
variably cautioned the hands to exeicise
great care in placing each piling strip
directly above the next one below it, and
in this manner avoided those short bends
which are the bane ot workmen and an
eyesore to the bosses.
The introduction of unconfin edsteam
into tho kiln gradually and thoroughly
permeates tho wood and drives the sap
from the pores ; it also gradually and
evenly heats tne wood throughout and
after being thus treated it only v etnains
to evaporate the moisture caused by the
condensation of tire cleam. W hethor
method of the is perfect, time aud ex—
p >rience will no doubt lully and satis
factorily demonstrate. This is not cov
ered by “letters,” nor is it likely to
be.
Best ¥srecti of Fowls.
man will ever be able to decide
which breed is best, so as to cause ev
erybody to be ot his opinion j but there
are certain qualities in fowls that should
be sought by everybody who keeps this
kind of stock, as good size, cornpa fc bo
dies short yellow legs, haidiness not
inclined to disease and to be good layers.
We lead a good deal about Houdans,
Ilamburgs, Black Spanish, Leghorn.!
and Polands, which may bo termed
“ fancy’’fows; but they are not what
farmers want, as they all lack the above
uood qualities except that of being good
layers. When we have chickens hatch'
cd out, wc want them to be hardy, and
to grow rapidly ; not to be sickly and
moping about and hall that are hatch
ed dying in the course of a month or
two. The larger breeds are much pre
ferable as the light and dark Brahmas,
Coch'ns of different colors. A cross
of those fine breeds on common fowls is
a great improvement over the latter,
using cocks of tho former breed and
many prefer them crossed to the pure
breeds not being quite so large. — Ex

Treatment of Bee-Sting —A wri.
ter in the American Journal of Micro -
eeopy gives the following directions for
the treatment of a bee stiug which are
worth remembering: “Onion, ammonal
ashes, beef and a hundred other reme
dies have beeh prescribed, but we never
found them of any special value. If
the poison sharp knife, or, still better
with a pair of tweezers arc just the
thr g. This must, be done quickly, or
it will be of no use. orasping the bag
and sting with the figners only squeezes
the poison out of the bag and into the
wound. After the bag has been
removed, suck the wound strongly, and

How to Color Green on Cotton.
First have your rags elean ; then make
a bale dye of the followinig: Two ounces
of prusiate of potash, two tablespoonfu'i
oil ot vitrol two tablespoonfuls of cop
peras. Bring to a boil, then put in the
goods for twenty uonutes stirring them
often ; tb.cn r’nse in clear warm water.
Then make a yellow dye: One half
pound sugar of lead dissolved in hot
water, one-fourth of a pound bichromate
of potash dissolved in a vessel of wood in
cold water. Dip the goods first in tbe
lead then in the potash until the color
suits. This will color five pounds of
cotton good*.
