The Southern Fanner. 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. Topics for the Household. 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. Our lives are mosaics. It takes all kinds of experience to complet the pat terns.

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.

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, The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver Pills. The genuine McLane’s Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrappers. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by Flem ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane , *pelled differently but same pronunciation. SMITH’S WORM OIL ! !
