FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Corn Not <>oort for Homes. *w.
| Corn is the bane of the farm horse,
ns it is also of the horse doing any
other sort of work, not because of not
being sufficiently nutritious, but be¬
cause it makes too much fat and not
enough muscle. The horse’s muscle
wears away by work as metal wears
away by friction. Fat wears away
under exercise, but its disappearance
in nowise lessens the power for either
draft or speed. Ou the other hand,
well-nourished and vigor* usly-exer
cised muscles, without a deposit of fat
to keep them company, are much more
efficient for any purpose for which the
horse is kept than when there is a load
of fat to be carried. The trainer acts
upon this proposition and works the
fat off, experience having shown that
the muscles, trained down by exercise
until fat accumulations are removed,
fattening foods being mainly abstained
from, gives the best results in the case
of a speedy horse. The same rule will
hold good with the work horse, though
modified by the degree in which the
movements of the latter are slower
than those of the former. If the farm¬
er has only corn for feed then he will
be wise if he make sale of his corn, or
the greater part of it, buying oats in¬
stead.- -Live Stock Journal.
Diseases of the Plum.
Of all enemies the curculio is
perhaps the greatest, and among the
diseases the black knot is well known.
There is also a tendency of all wild
ones to rot on the trees when brought
into cultivation. Probably no good
plum will be found to be curculio
proof. Nature beats them with num¬
bers of trees and quantity of fruit.
This xnay be a hint to us; but the
journals have thoroughly discussed
this part of the subject, and have at¬
tempted to point out remedies. The
black knot when it attacks is very de¬
ductive. A writer in one of the
prominent New England journals
claims that it is occasioned by poverty
of soil and poor cultivation. This is a
mistake, as natural groves of thrifty
wild ones are often entirely killed by it.
The only safety lies in carefully cut¬
ting out and burning every appear¬
ance of it, by which means it can be
prevented from doing any harm. In
regard to rotting on the tree, it is
found that some varieties are much
more liable than others, but close
pruning of the trees and thinning of
the fruit are the most effectual reme¬
dies. As an offset to these difficulties
in growing the trees, its advantages
are that .it is tenacious of life, and
adapted to all our soils, whether on
the stiff clays of the high lands or on
the lighter sands cf the Tiardest river bottoms;,
it withstands our winters,
being perfectly hardy, and is as pro¬
lific as any tree that bears fruit. It is
also easily propagated, either by bud¬
ding, any manner of grafting, grow¬
ing from pieces of the root, or plant¬
ing the seed.— Farm, Field, and
Stockman.
Cnuws of II tt«*r fi’fim.
The Country Gentleman, upon the
subject of bitter cream, gives the fol¬
lowing as some of the more important
causes :
Ragweed in the pasture. This is a
frequent cause just now, when cows are
fed in stubble or mowing lands. The
flavor given by ragweed is a disagree¬
able, intense bitter, quite different
from that caused by fermentation of
the milk.
Mildew, but especially the red, spot¬
ted mildew, which forms upon the
cream in damp cellars, and appears in
spots about tire size of a split pea.
This is caused by the impregnation of
the cellar with spores of the mildew.
and is very difficult to get rid of. The
only way I have succeeded in doing it
is by burning sulphur *in the cellar,
which is kept tightly closed for a con
siderable time until the walls are sat
urated with it, and afterwards by
keeping the air dry by means of a box
of freshly-burned lime kept in it until
it is air-staked.
Keeping the milk too long without
skimming, until the whey separates,
and the ereatn too long without churn¬
ing. Thirty-six hours is long enough
for either, which makes the cream
three days old when it is churned.
Imperfect cleaning of the milk pails,
of the churn, and leaving curd in the
seams or corners, i utrid caseine has
a bitter flavor and very rapidly com¬
municates the same to milk and cream.
the cream appropriating nearly the
whole of it
The farrow condition of the cow or
her advanced state of pregnancy will
(a ise this trouble.
Sometimes ttie addition of as much
powdered saltpeter as will lie on a
silver three cent piece, or about five
grains to a six-quart pan of milk, will
prevent the bitterness, and to f give the
cow a dose . of , two . drams , a day for , a
week will have the same effect. I have
found two grains of salicylate of soda
to four quarts of milk w ill prevent
mold even in a musty cellar. But I
am inclined to think that at this sea
son the cause of it. nine times out of
ten, is in the feed, especially if it is
aftermath or stubble grass. In this
case the remedy is obvious.
Farm and Maiden 1%’otes.
A putrid carcass polluting the air
of a pasture will spoil not only the
milk of the cows running th -re, but
also the entire conteuis of tfic vat in
to which the tainted milk is poured at
the factory.
Turkeys are great foragers, and will
gather their entire food from the
fields during the summer, at the same
time destroying myriads of grasshop¬
pers, bugs, and other insects that prey
on vegetables and grain crops.
There is no better food for young
pigs, after they have learned to eat,
than good thrashed oats. If given dry
and alone, the pigs will chew at them
till they get all tho kernels, but they
will swallow little or none of the
■ husks.
To keep flies from the stable, sus
pend cotton waste, pieces of tow, a
sponge, or any other absorbent ma
terial, and keep it moist with common
carbolic acid, which is very cheap by
the gallon, and the odor o w ici
wholesome.
Those who have grapes should be
careful to watch for insects and signs
of disease. Sulphur should be dusted
with the bellows over the leaves in
case of mildew, while lime should al¬
ways be used freely on the ground
around the plants.
A Maine farmer, whose tree was
burdened with an extra large crop of
apples last season, thinned out the
fruit and cut away some of the small
branches. To his surprise he secured
a larger crop than ever before, and the
quality was also superior.
An easy method of killing plaintain,
dandelion and other weeds in a lawn
is to place a little sulphuric acid, with
a stick, on the crown of each plant,
carrying the acid in an open mouthed
bottle with a long handle so as not to
touch it with fingers or cloths.
We have seen fowls stagger, unable
to walk when started, and suddenly
fall over. This is vertigo. The lower
lobe of the brain is diseased. To cure
this, give three grains of bromide of
potash daily. You will be surprised
to see how quickly relief will come.
It is necessary to keep one eye on
the weeds while looking after the
work with the other. It is astonish¬
ing how fast they grow these damp,
hot days, and unless constantly
warred against, how soon they over¬
grow everything ! Down with the
weeds.
Household Hints.
Fruit stains upon the hands may be
removed by rubbing with the juice of
ripe tomatoes.
Starched shirts will iron easier if
you let them dry after starching so you
will have to sprinkle them before
ironing.
The wings of turkeys, geese and
chickens are good to wash and clean
windows, as they leave no dust or lint,
as cloth.
To brighten the inside of a coffee or
tea-pot, till with water, add a small
piece of soap, and let it boil about
forty-five minutes.
To remove grease from wall paper
lay several folds of blotting paper on
the spot and hold a hot iron near it
until the grease is absorbed.
To set colors in blue cambric, dip it
into a solution of saltpetre, using two
or three cents’ worth to a pailful of
water. Salt will injure the fabric.
Lemons are a very cheap luxury for
those living near cities, or having easy
access to rapid transportation, and can
be kept fresh for months by putting
them into a clean, tight jar or cask,
and covering them with cold water.
Keep in a cool place, out of the reach
of sunlight, and change the w T ater
often, not less than every third day;
every second day is better. Lemons
are excellent for winter use, or if one
is bilious or inclined to rheumatism.

YELLOW FEVER’S ABODE.
Stories of the Disease Told
!
by Vera Cruzans. I
Strange and Ghastly Tales With Which
the People Cheer Visitors
Among the numerous yellow-fever
stories with which Vera Cruzans are
| wont to cheer visiting strangers
writes a correspondent of the Cincin¬
nati Commercial Gazette, they tell us
that once a vessel drifted into port,
apparently at random, and without
foisting any 0 f the usua i signals,
Rumora ran th h the town that a
Dirate shj had arrived> or some for ■
.
;. gn emba3sy on a secret mlssion . but
,j na u v the strange craft was boarded
by the authorities, who found it to be
a charnel-house of decomposing corpses,
for every soul had perished of vomito.
One day a Norwegian vessel touched at
Vera Cruz on some trivial errand, the
captain having , hesitated, Jt is said,
about doing so, as there was no special
necessity for stopping. The result
was the taking on a passenger, who, a
lew days later, came down with yel
ow-fever, and every man on the ship,
both officers and crew, died at sea bo
fore their destination was reached.
During seasons of epidemic, when
.
Vera Cruz is crowded with the dead
tnd dying, stranger patients need not
expect much care, though the hospi
tals are many and well managed Mon

bestow that for which the demand is

iff his coffin aDd demanding to know :
ris destination. Others but carelessly I
buried by sleepy workmen have been
known to unearth themselves and
have been found in the morning sit¬
ting at the cemetery gate airily attired
in winding sheets.
It is stated that a few years ago an
American lady who was supposed to
have died during an epidemic, was
tbout to be cast, uncoftined, into the
joramon pit with a score of corpses.
The sexton, espymg a valuable ring
upon her finger, tossed her upon the
ground at one side, intending to rob
before burying her. The shock of the
fall partially restored her from the
3omatose condition that frequently
follows this disease. When the ghoul
lad completed the remainder of his
.ask and turned to secure the jewel,
le was horrified to see two big blue
-yes fixed upon him. Fortunately,
but by rare chance, he did not dash
ier into the waiting grave, nor run
iway in affright, but carried the half
,'onscious creature back to the hospit
ii, where she was restored to health.
Y ellow fever when not contracted
luring a time of violent epidemic, is
by no means the worst sickness under
ffie sun. Every thing depends upon
uareful nursing, and possibly some¬
what upon temperate habits and the
previous condition of the system. The
majority do not die, and it must be re¬
membered that only the number ot
deaths are recorded, not the thousands
who have it and recover. It certainly
has advantages over the Roman fever,
typhoid, and kindred ailment, in that
the victim is quickly killed or cured, j
and there are no secondary stages, nor J
bad effects left lingering in the blood, j
When 1 fell into unconsciousness, one
hot March morning, after vainly fight¬
ing against the disease for some days,
the Vera Cruz friends seemed to re¬
gard it in the light of a huge joke
which could have but one happy ter¬
mination—immunity from future dan- !
?er. The brave little lady in whose 5
souse we were guest has nursed many 1
if her country people through the
j fever, and not one has died. She and
!>er husband are both from the United !
States, and have lived for several years
in Vera Cruz, through all the succes
»ive epidemics, and have no fear of
Yellow Jack.

Building a Brain.
Our present life is signalized by a
union between soul and body. All at¬
tempts to disturb the harmony of this
marriage tie are futile and mischievous.
The devotees of India crawl into caves,
cultivate long hair and dirt, and starve
and torture themselves to emphasize
their hatred of these vile believe" imprisoning that the
bodies. They devoutly the
soul can rise only as it climbs on
ruins of the body. This struggle to di¬
vorce the soul from the body has ap¬
peared among many peoples. We have
not altogether escaped it. With many of
us a pale, languid woman is more of a
lady than a rosy, robust one; and a
sepulchral clergyman more of a saint
than a broad-chested, fun-loving apprehend one.
We are just beginning to and

gard the body as an honorable and
beautiful part of man. Already we
speak of building a perfect body,
