TOFi:S FOR FARMERS.
Many a good horse ha* been ruined by
injudicious haste in working him with a
full stomach.
Farmers slionld not forget that their
profits depend as much upon judicious
marketing as careful cultivation.
To stop a hen from setting, put her in
the coop, and give her plenty to eat and
drink. Three or four days will generally
do the cure.
A Buffalo gardener has observed a
new enemy to the Codling moth, the foe
of apple growers. !t is a black beetle
which eats the caterpillar and destroy
the chrysalis of the Codling moth.
The prime conditions of health in a
house depend upon cleanliness, pure air
and unpolluted water; the prompt and
thorough removal of all refuse; and the
perfect exclusion of ail foul matters
arising outside the house.
Professor Farrington, in a summary
of the experiments begun in 1870 by the
Maine Agricultural College to ascertain
which has the greatest value as a food
for swine, cooked <k uncooked meal,
says: ‘ We have, by an experiment
which has been continued from three to
four months of each of the nine years
since its beginning, obtained evidence
that all the money and labor expended
in cooking ineal for swine is more than
thrown away.”
There are wet lands on most farms
that would be greatly improved by
draining; and now is the time when
farmers are most at liberty to attend to
such matters. Labor, too, is apt to be
cheapest now. Improve your land or
sell it. Do not keep worthless land that
is bringing you no interest for your
money. Aim to clear and improve some
field each year. If rightly done, it will
pay you the next year ten per cent, on
the sum invested.— Dover State Press.
Dr. Nichols says, in the Journal oj
Chemistry: “It is, under ordinary con
ditions, advisable and advantageous to
f)lant corn for fodder in drills, with at
east twenty inches space between, so
that air and sunlight can have free ac
cess to the growing plants; but it is not
food husbandry to sow thickly broadcast.
’lants depend for healthy growth and
nutrition upon actinic light and heat,
and upon access of air. Any plant
deprived of these agencies in its growth
is unsuitable for the food of animals.”
The Rural New- Yorker says that valu
able grapevines, planted with great care,
are often left to take care of themselves
at this season of the year—when they
need care most. For the first tw T o years
a good stout stake, say six feet long, is
all that is necessary for a support. This
should be firmly set in the ground, and
the vines kept tied to it. Should other
shoots start from the old wood, rub
them off and keep lateral shoots pinched
back toi one or two' leaves. Remove all
injurious insects by hand, and dust with
flour of sulphur should mildew appear.
Stumps.—The following method of
getting rid of stump? is recommended
by the Scientific American: In the
autumn bore a hole one or two inches in
diameter, according to the girth of the
stump, vertically in the centre of the
latter, and about eighteen inches deep.
Put into it one or two ounces of salt
petre ; fill the hole with water, and plug
up close. In the ensuing spring take
out the plug and pour in about one-half
gill of kerosene oil and ignite it. The
stump will smoulder away, without blaz
ing, to the very extremity of the roots,
leaving nothing but ashes.
A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says that no dressing of manure is
completely consumed by the crop to
which it is applied. Soluble and active
manures produce their principal effect at
once, and are of little benefit to sub
sequent crops. Manures sparingly solu
ble, and those which must suffer decom
position in the soil before they are of
service to the plant, as bones and farm
yard manure will, on the contrary, pro
duce an effect over many years. Farmers
have a prejudice in favor of the latter
class of manures, but it is clear that the
quickest return for capital invested is*
afforded by the former class.
In planning a barn, in no case provide
a manure cellar under horse or cow
stables. It is too much to ask, even of
brutes, to stand over the gases of manure
cellars. Put the stables in the basement
and on the ground, and provide for fre
quently cleaning out the manure, that
your cows and horses may have some
reasonable enjoyment of life. Just here
occurs to me a point in regard to storing
carriages either over or alongside horse
stables. It should never be clone. The
ammonia from the manure destroys the
varnish, and causes it to crack, and it
injuries harness. A carriage-house should
be well separated from the stables, and
if the wheels can stand on the earth,
they will hold the tires in a dry time
much better than on a floor with air
under it .—.George Geddes.

Miss Owens, of Wilcox County,
Georgia, sheared thirty sheep in thirty
nine minutes by the watch.
To Remove Mildews.-—Pour a quart
of boiling water on two ounces of chloride
of lime; then add three quarts of cold
water, and soak the linen in it twelve
hours.
Cement foe Glass and China. —
White of eggs mixed up with little
quicklime (or chalk burned in the fire
and powdered to dust) will make a capital
cement. ‘
Brown Bread.— Take one quart of
buttermilk, one of sweet milk; thicken
with half Indian meal, and half rye flour
or wheat; add salt and molasses, if
wished; a heaping teaspoonful of soda.
Gold Cake.—One half cup of butter
and two of sugar stirred to a cream; the
yolks of six octets well beaten, half a cup
of milk with half a teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in if. With the flour put in a
teaspoonful of cream-of-tartar. It should
be as stiff as cup cake. Add half a nut
meg, one cup of raisins and half a cup of
currants. Everything was ready in good
time; children dressed, table set and
dining-room closed, with a little time to
rest. Now that I have things once
more in running order, 1 am determined
that it shall not be so long again before
I entertain some other friends. I believe
that a certain amount of company is a
good tiling for any family.— Mrs. Endicot.
Corn Loaf.—Take one pint of sweet
milk, half pint of sour milk, half cup of
outter, one of molasses, three eggs, one
of wheat flour, a little salt, corn meal to
make a thick batter, one teaspoonful of
*oda. Bake two hours slowly.
Keeping Grapes Fresh.—Take a
wooden box; put in a layer of cotton
batting; then a layer of grapes (do not
fet them touch one another:) then an
other layer, and so on, until full. Keep
g them as cool as possible and not freeze
them; dip the end of the stem in melted
beeswax as soon as picked.
English Cookies.—One cup of brown
sugar, half cup butter, one egg, two
tablespoonfuls sour cream, a little soda,
cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg; make hard
enough with flour to roll out; cut in
thin cakes.
Brown Bread No, 2.—Take one quart
of corn meal, pour on boiling water or
milk; when cool add a cup of yeast, two
spoonfuls of molasses, a little salt and
one quart oi rye flour, wet with milk,
and stir with a spoon. Pour in tins or
pans to rise. Bake slow.
To Remove Mildew from Linen.—-
Rub it over with soap; then scrape fine
chalk or whitening, and rub on. Lay it
in the sun, wet it from time to time; if
aot removed, repeat the process. Lemon
juice and salt is also good.
Drink for the Sick.—Two table
apoonfuls arrow root in a quart pitcher
with a little cold water; three table
spoonfuls white sugar, the juice of one
lemon, and part of the rind; stir all
quickly while pouring boiling water un
til the pitcher is full. Drink cold.
Oyster Sauce.— One pint of oysters
boiied three or four minutes in their
own iia.uor. Stir in two tablespoonfuls
of butter rolled in a spoonful of flour,
the juice of half a lemon with pepper
and salt to taste. Heat a teacupful of
milk, pour into the oysters and turn at
once into the sauce-boat. —Rural New-
Yorker.
Orange Cake. —The whites ot six
eggs beaten to a froth; three tablespoons
ful of melted butter; one cup of sugar;
half a cup of milk; a cup and a half of
flour, in which have been stirred two
teaspoonful of baking powder and a very
little salt. This makes three thin cakes.
About half an hour before eating, take
the juice of one large orange, the white
of one egg, beaten stiff, and thicken with
granulated sugar, spread between the
three cakes, and dust powdered sugar
over it. I doubled these proportions
making two cakes.— Mrs. Endicot.

Ayer's Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague. Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever,Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c.,and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. It great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Jntermittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it are flee
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do net return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derange
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. A s
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.

THE GENUINE
DR. C. McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liven
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken,
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases,
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER. .
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Bills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinipe, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
" simple purgative, they are unequaled
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS,
