WHAT THE BIRHg SAT.
Do you ask what the birds say ?
The sparrow, the dove,
The linnet and thrush say, “ I love, and I love!”
In #lO winter they’re silent, the wind is so strong;
What it says I don’t know, but it sings a loud song,
But green leaves and blossoms,
And sunny warm weather,
And singing ancl loving,
All come back together.
Bnt the lark is so brimful of gladness and love,
The green fields below him. the blue sky above,
That he sings, and he ngs, and forever sings he,
“ I love my love, afad my love loves me.”
Colcrida c.
£far from home.
I see a shadow in a chair,
I see a shadowy cradle go;
I hear a ditty, soft and low:
The mother and child are there!
At length the balm of Bleep is shed;
One bed contains my bud and flower;
They sl’eep and dream, and hour by hour
Goes by, while angels watch the bsd.
Sleep on and dream, ye blessed pair!
My prayer shall guard ye night and day;
Ye guard me so, ye make me pray,
Ye make my happy life a prayer!

AGRICULTURE.
THE VALUE OF RED BUST-PROOF OATS.
In the Rural for August, 1874, I
published an experiment with red oats,
that several friends asserted wan an ex
ception, because “it was growing oats
too cheap.” Another year has come
and gone, I have repeated the experi
ment, succeeded equally as well, and
am pleased to say, I have witnessed a
better success with more than one of
my neighbors. Red oats can be grown
at an expense of twenty-five cents per
bnshel upon any ordinary farm in the
South, every such bushel will weigh
thirty pounds, and a pound of oats will
produce just as much muscle and fat as
a pound of corn. I have kept a horse
for two years without ever feeding him
an ear of corn or a blade of fodder, his
daily diet being shelled oats and straw,
or cut oats from the sheaf; he has been
ploughed, wagoned, hacked about in a
*>nggy, and ridden under the saddle,
and there never was a time he was not
ready and willing to do a full share of
work. Any land that ever I have seen
in the South will produce two bushels
of oats where it will grow one bnshel of
corn ; eaob farmer for himself cam cal
culate the cost of growing the two
crops.
Red oats will yield more grain to the
straw, and more delioate straw than any
oaks I have ever grown. Sown in the
fall, they will produce a remunerative
crop on good land, even if frozen out
daring the winter to a single stool to
every square foot. They are heavier
than any other and have never been
known to take the rust. A few years
ago, I selected eight adjoining acres,
and on them sowed a bushel to each
acre of eight varieties of oats. Some
were entirely destroyed by the winter.
som9 were ruined by rust, and all but
the red oats were more or less damaged
by this parasite. Not even a blade of
the red oats was touched, though the
acre was in the midst of those most
thoroughly ruined. The time is upon
us when they should again be sown,
though they are remunerative if sown at
any time between this and the Ist of
next March.
I prefer to sow in cotton-land broad
cast, and plough in with three or four
sweep furrows. This lays by a cotton
crop as well as sows a small grain crop,
hence a Baving of half the labor. It is
cheaper to sow in the cotton field even
if postponed till September or October,
because cotton requiring clean culture
the land is in better tilth, and fewer
furrows are necessary. The hands while
picking cotton daring the winter will
trample upon the young sprigs, and make
them stool out better therefor. Sheep
will winter on oats in a cotton field and
never molest the cotton till they have
eaten up the oats.
Where cotton is the exclusive crop,
there is no little vexation and harrassing
doubts at harvest time to him who ven
tures to sow small grain. In June the
cotton and corn need the attention off
the laborer constantly. Hence, the
policy, almost necessity, of interesting
the laborer in the ownership at least of
the oat crop. A fair contract, in this
regard, is for the employer to furnish
the seed, fertilizer, and land, and re
quire the employe to supply the labor
of seeding and harvesting, and at har
vest time divide the crop, one-fourth to
the laborer and three-fourths to the em
ployer. An acre of land, producing
twenty bushels of oats, would thus give
the laborer five bnshels of oats for
about two days work, (ploughing, scat
tering manure, knocking down stalks,
and harvesting,) and fifteen bushels to
the owner, one and a half bushels of
sead, three and a half bushels to pav
for fertilizer, and ten bushels rent. I
have never known red oats to sell for
less tnan seventy five cents per bushel,
and even at fifty eents per bushel, ten
busheis are a very fair rent for land that
not produce more than twenty
bushels of oats per acre. Fair uplands
*ti middle South Carolina will average
twenty bushels without manure; and I
have seen it stated that the Mississippi
bottoms have yielded one hundred
bushels per acre during favorable sea
sons.— Col. D. Wyatt Aiken, in Rural
Carolinian.
THE CHEAPEST MANURE KNOWN.
I)r. Daniel Lee, in the Nashville
Union and American, says that land
plaster (gypsum) is the cheapest ma
nure known to him, and he has been a
caret ul observer of its effects for sixty
years. He adds that it has been in use
in this country on e hundred years, since
rranklin wrote his name in sowed plas>
ter, brought from Paris to Philadel
phia, which had such a fertilizing effect
that all could read his name in clover
and lucerne. He refers to a locality in
the state of New York, where it has
been used ior fifty years, and though
containing no ammonia or nitrogen in
any form ; no potash, no magnesia, both
of which exist in all crops; no phos
phoric aeid, yet many upland fields were
more productive in 1874 than in 1824,
after the removal of fifty harvests, re
ceiving in return less than seventy-eight
pounds per acre of a true sulphate of
lime a year, and never any other fertili
zer.
WHY SMAI.Ii FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS.
We have often had occasion to call
attention to the fact that those we are
accustomed to call “ small farmers ”
art) generally the most prosperous peo
ple in the south. They are not so be
cause small farms and very limited
operations are, in themselves” best, but
because these farmers are working in
harmoDy with their circumstances.
They have accepted the situation, and
put their own hands to the plough
Having small capital, and often very
limited knowledge and skill, they go
safely, as they see the way clearly be
fore them. The large planter, on the
contrary, often without any capital at all
of his own, attempts on borrowed money
(at fearfully high rates of interest,) to
conduct large operations, without close
ly counting the cost or the risks, and
fails, as any sound minded man, not
infatuated with cotton, would see that
he must. This does not prove that
small farms and small farming are nec
essarily most profitable, but that our
operations, both as to method and to
extent, must correspond with our capital
and other circumstances.
WHEV TO BUY SHEEP.

aML\u y moßt profitable to do so
of
the farmer knows pretty well “what ‘the
increase ol his flock is to
allow him to winter properly. The
season’s yield at home also affords the
buyer a better opportunity for gauging
the number of stock to suit the prob
able contents of bam and granary.
Ordinarily, where one seller of sheep
can be found in the spring, ten can be
found in the late summer or faH.
A farmer made an experiment. He
took a sheep that weighed about one
hundred pounds, put it in a pen, and
after it had become wonted, weighed
all its food, and found that three pounds
per day of fodder and grain was all
that he coaid make the sheep eat. The
farmer had verified a rule well known to
the much-despised “book-farmers,” and
arrived at by many and careful experi
ments, that about three pounds of good
food per day for each 100 weight of live
stock is a fattening allowance. For il*
lustration, a sheep weighing 100 pounds
requires three pounds of food psr day,
anu a steer weighing 1,000 needs thirty
pounds. These rules are approximately
correct, being varied somewhat by qual
ity of food and stock. The farmer
knowing the weight of his feed and that
of his stock, by applying these rules
can guess closely as to whether he has
food enough for his stock.
CLEAN CULTURE.
Every farmer knows the importance of
clean cultivation, where the growth of
weeds interfere directly with the yield
of crops ; yet many farmers, who as a
role secure good crops at considerable
expense allow weeds of all kinds to
trespass upon ground used, as turning
rows, fence corners, etc., which scatter
their seeds in every direction, requiring
the farmer each year to expend addi
tional labor above what otherwise would
be required to hold his own with them.
As the land grows older the danger
of this increase, unless great care is ex
ercised in keeping up the fertility of the
soil, and in destroying weeds in what
ever quarter they may present them
selves. Along hedges large enough to be
beyond the use of cultivation, and other
fences too, a strip wide enough for a
turning row should be devoted to grass.
In this way the dirt in plowing, may be
thrown from the fence as often as in the
opposite direction without difficulty,
and not only adds wonderfully to the
convenience, but to the artistic appear
ance of the fields.
All these unsightly patches, so often
seen about a farm, doing so much dam
age, and bringing nothing in return,
may be occupied in some way to advan
tage without much labor. A grove may
be planted, a few shrubs and flowers, or
some of the small fruits may be culti
vated to advantage. If time will not
admit of these things, scatter upon the
surface plenty of grass seed and it will
take cake of itself.
Some weeds are so prolific in their
seed-bearing capacity that the ground
becomes full of the little germs which
remain hidden in the earth for years, to
spring up and choke the growing crops,
whenever the conditions are favorable.
To prevent this farmers should not even
allow such to grow along the road-side.
Early and thorough cultivation of the
corn crop, thick seeding of small grain,
early fall plowing before the weed seeds
mature, are all valuable aids to clean
cultivation.— Western Rural.
The Secrets of Philadelphia Butter.
Every one has doubtless heard of the
celebrated Philadelphia butter, the deli
cious flavor of which renders it a delicacy
which, in markets outside of its place of
manufacture, brings prices which some
times range as high as a dollar a pound.
How it is made is told in anew and ex
cellent little work, recently written by
Mr. X. A, Willard, editor of the dairy
department of .Moore’s Rural New
Yorker, and entitled “ Willard’s Prac
tical Butter Book.” A notice of the
volume will be found elsewhere. On'the
subject of Philadelphia butter, we’take
from its pages the following :
The celebrated Philadelphia butter
comes mainly from Chester, Lancaster,
and Delaware counties, Pennsylvania
The spring house is about 18 feet by 24
feet, built of stone, with its foundation
set deeply in the hillside, the floor being
about four feet below the level of the
ground at the downhill side. The floor
is of oak, laid on sand or gravel; this
is flowed with spring water to the depth
of three inches, and at this height the
flowing water passes out into a tank at
the lower side of the spring house. The
milk, when drawn from the cow, is
strained into deep pans which are set in
the water upon the oaken floor. Raised
platforms or walks are provided in the
room for convenience in handling the
milk. The walls of the spring house are
about ten feet high, and at the top on
each side are windows covered with
wire cloth for ventilation. The depth of
the milk in the pans is about three
inches, and the flowing* water which
surrounds the pans maintains a temper
ature of about 58 degrees Fah.
The milk is skimmed after standing
24 hours, and the cream is put into deep
vessels having a capacity of about 12
gallons. It is kept at a temperature of
58 degrees to 59 degrees, until it ac
quires a slightly acid taste, when it goes
to the churn. The churn is a barrel re
volving on a journal in each head, and
driven by horse power. The churning
occupies about an hour; and after the
buttermilk is drawn off, cold water is
added, and a few turns given the churn,
and the water then drawn off. This is
repeated until the water as it is drawn
is nearly free from milkiness. The bat
ter is worked with butter workers, a
dampened cloth meanwhile being
pressed upon it to absorb the moisture
and free it of buttermilk. The cloth is
frequently dipped in cold water and
wrung dry during the process of “wip
ing the butter.” It is next salted at the
rate of an ounce of salt to three pounds
of butter, thoroughly and evenly incor
porated by means of the butter worker.
It is then removed to a table, where it
is weighed out and put into pound
prints. After this it goes into large tin
trays, and is set in the water to harden,
remaining until next morning, when it
is wrapped in damp cloths and placed
upon shelves, one above another, in the
tin-lined cedar tubs, with ice in the
compartments at the ends, and then
goes immediately to marketr. Matting
is drawn over the tub, and it ts sur
rounded again by oilcloth so as to keep
out the hot air and dust, and the but
ter arrives in prime condition, com
manding from seventy-five cents to one
dollar per pound.
Remedies for the Rheumatic.—A
medical correspondent of an English
journal says that the advantages of as
paragus are not sufficiently appreciated.
Those who suffer with rheumatism are
cared in a few days by feeding on this
delicious esculent.; and more chronic
cases are much relieved, especially if
the patient avoids all acids, whether in
food or in beverage. The Jerusalem
artichoke has a similar effect in relieving
rheumatism. It may be well to remark
that most plants which grow naturally
near the seacoast contain more or less
iodine, and in ail rheumatic comp] aints
iodine has long been a favorite remedy.
One who has been in the drug business
told the writer some years ago that many
of the popular patent nostrums which
some disinterested people, “ for the
good of their fellow-creatures,” sold at
two dollars a bottle, consisted simply of
a few cents’ worth of iodine in solution.
lodine is dangerons, however, in over
doses, affecting especially the eye.
Arsene Houssaye says : “Chivac, the
Duke of Orleans’ physician was an
original, clever to the last word. He
never noticed that he was ill, being so
anxious about the health of others ; but
one day he felt his own pnlse and said.

Northern Capital in the South.
It is an universal belief in the south
ern states that the thing they most need
is capital. The people of those states
are incessantly telling the world about
their exhanstless stores of rudimentary
wealth, and of the marvelous facility
with which it oan be worked np into ac
tual, available wealth ; they have a great
deal to say about the amount of low
middling cotton at 14 cents a pound
that can be raised on an acre of their
bottom lands, and of the amount of
wheat that can be produced on their
uplands ; they boast that this cotton can
be manufactured into yarns and cloth
by means of ample water-power in sight
of the fields where it is raised, far more
cheaply than it can be manufactured in
New England ; they tell ns—and they
prove the assertion —that pig iron can
be made at Birmingham, Alabama, at
Chattanooga, Tennessee, or at Rome,
Georgia, $8 a ton cheaper than in Ohio
and Pennsylvania ; they point with par
donable pride to the fact that the cot-
ton mills at Agusta, Georgia, and Gran
iteville, South Carolina, are working
steadily along, and making good profits
through the present depression of trade,
while those of Massachusetts and New
Hampshire are running at half time,
and losing money at that; and they de
clare that the mildness of their climate,
and the greater cheapness of raw mate
rials, labor and living with them de
monstrates the superior manufacturing
advantages of their region over the rig
orous regions ©f the northeast, where
the laborer’s family have to live on a
winter footing half the year.
It is impossible to deny these state
ments, and, indeed, nobody attempts to
deny them ; the world admit* them.
Still, the capital which the fascinating
picture is intended to invite, does not
come. Boston money clings to the
granite ribs of New England, and re
fuses to migrate to Georgia where it
oan earn ten to fifteen per cent, more
per annum ; every foot of Massachu
setts water-power is harnessed to ma
chinery, while that of the Chattahoochie
and James runs to waste ; and the iron
mongers of Pennsylvania continue to buy
ore at $8 a ton and make it into iron at
824 a ton, instead of going to Alabama
where they can get ore for 81 a ton and
make it into iron at sl4 a ton. The
people of the south bavo tried again
and again to understand this mystery,
without success, and they seem to have
settled down into the belief that capital,
labor and trade in the north are too
blind to take advantage of the opportu
nities that the south presents.
But the matter is not so difficult of
comprehension, after all. It is the peo
ple of the south, not the capitalists of
the north, who do not appreciate these
boasted advantages. If there are such
superior facilities for manufacturing in
Georgia and Virginia, why don’t the
Georgians and Virginians avail them
selves of them ? If there are fortunes
to be made in cotton-spinning in Tennes
see, why don’t the Tennesseeans make
them instead of inviting somebody else
to come and get them? It is the people
of Alabama who ought to be making
cheap iron at Birmingham, and the peo
ple of Tennessee who ought to be mak
ing cheap iron at Chattanooga and that
vicinity.
The reply to this is that the people
of the south have not the capital. But
why, then, do not the people of the
south go to work and make capital?
This incessant appeal to foreign capital
to come into the south is like the prayer
of the wagoner to Hercules to come and
lift nis wheels out of the mud. The
strong god’s answer was that he helped
those only who helped themselves; if
the wagoner would put his own shoulder
to the wheel, Hercules would supply
all the power he lacked. This answer
embodies the whole philosophy of the
southern situation.
The south does not need capital as
much as it needs willing labor—and
this it has, in abundance. Capital is
nothing but a concrete form of labor,
now dead, and a very serviceable and
efficient substitute for it is living labor.
This, united with industry and econo
my, in the midst of such favorable con
ditions as mild climate, cheap living,
accessible materials and water-power,
accumulates capital, with surprising
rapidity. A man who earns 8100 a year
more than he spends, per annum, makes
that much capital every year; a hun
dred men in a community, doing the
same thiDg, make 810,000 capital in a
single year ; and a thousand men, work
ing and saving at the same rate, and in
vesting their earnings, would in seven
years produce 81000,000 —a sum large
enough to start ten manufacturing es
tablishments.
But it is said that the south has not
enough of either labor or capital. This
is a mistake. It cannot be said that
there is a deficiency of labor in a com
munity as long as there is any consider
able number of idelers in it, and it is
an undeniable fact that there are a great
many idlers in the south—more, in fact,
than in those regions from which immi
gration is invited. There are, propor
tionately, more unemployed persons in
Tennessee than in Connecticut; of the
425,000 males and females over ten
years of age in Connecticut 193,000, or
nearly half, are engaged in some occu
pation, 86,344 of them being engaged
in mechanical and manufacturing voca
tions, while of the 890,000 males and
females over ten years of age in Ten
nessee, only 367,000 are engaged in oc
cupation ; and only 29,000 of these are
employed in mechanical and manufac
turing vocations. Of the 412,665
females over ten years of age in Vir
ginia, only 75,000 are engaged in occu
pations—and nearly all these are colored
females ; while of the 209,000 females
over ten years of age in Connecticut,
159,460 have occupations.
Those figures explain the
abundance of capital in the New Eng
land states, and the scarcity of it in the
south. If the south wants capital, it
must work for it ; it must earn more
than it spends, and invest the surplus
year after year in manufactures. If
5,000 idla persons in Tennessee were to
engage steadily and industriously in
productive employment, it would be
worth more to the state than the invest
ment of 85,000,000 of Boston capital in
it. Besides, there is a magical sympathy
in labor that attracts its kind from all
quarters.
If the people of Tennessee were to
help themselves with all their might
and main, they would be surprised to
find how many others would come to
help them; if all the idle persons in
that state were to go to work, resolved
to make their own capital, thousands of
intelligent laborers and millions of vig
ilant capital would flow in upon them,
eager to seek employment and invest
ment in the midst of an industrious, in
dependent people, and to share in the
profits of cheap manufacturing. But as
long as the people of a southern state
invite somebody else to come and do
the work which they themselves will
not do, dig the ore which they will not
dig, spin the cotton which they will Dot
spin, and build the shops which they
will not build, so long will they fail of
that power which wealth alone can bring.

A Storm in Switzerland.
A correspondent at Geneva gives an
account, of the terrible storm which
broke over that city at midnight of
Wednesday, the 17th inst. About eight
o’clock a few heavy drops of rain began
to fall, and at the same time the whole
circumference of the horizon began to
be fitfully illuminated by flashes of sheet
lightning, but there was no thunder.
Once only during the entire night was
there one terrific clap of thunder, and
that was when the storm was just over.
The lightning gradually increased in
intensity and became indeed actually
and wtthout exaggeration continuous.
The entire atmosphere seemed to be an
element of flame, and all this time there
was not the slightest movement of air in
the streets. At about 11 o’clock small
objects lying on the roofs of houses
were caught up and whirled around as
by a cyclone. Still there was no move
ment of air in the streets below at mid-
night. The tempest came mainly from
the Jura range and from the southwest,
traveling in that direction toward the
basin of Lake Lemon. As it neared the
lake it seemed to spread out into a fan
like form, with a front sufficiently wide
to embrace the entire city. It did not
last much longer than ten minutes. At
the end of it, Geneva was wrecked as no
army of besiegers could have wrecked it
in the same space of time. The storm
came in the shape of an almost compact
mass of sheet ioe, driven horizontally
before the tempest blast. In the first
instant, every gas lamp in the streets,
save here and there one spared by reason
of some protecting roof, was smashed to
atoms and extinguished, but the city
was not in darkness, for the masses of
coagulated hail reflected the blue light
of the lightning in a ghastly and omi
nous manner. Windows of manufac
tories and residences were forced from
their fastenings, besides having all the
glass shivered, and bedrooms and stair
cases and saloons were thus thrown
open to the storm, and in a minute or
two were half filled with masses of ice,
far beyond the immediate power of the
inhabitants to remove, for the storm
was marked by the peculiarity that hail
stones, or ice fragments rather, com
pacted themselves into a solid mass as
soon as they fell on the slope of the left
bank of the river Arne iu the suburb of
the city. The tiles of many houses were
absolutely beaten to powder ; stout par
titions of wooden plank were pierced by
holes such as might have been made by
a musket ball. Three persons were
killed by the falling of a farm house in
the immediate vicinity of the city.
Vast quantities of small birds have been
picked up, killed by the storm, and the
bodies of several foxes have been found.
Geneva is surrounded by pleasure gar
dens and vineyards and market gardens,
and these have bgen destoyed as if a
charge of cavalry had passed over them,
involving the ruin and despair of poor
and indnstrious peasants, whose ail is
now taken from them as effectually as
if it had been sunk to the bottom of the
sea.
Mark Twain’s Last Lament.
Mark Twain, in the August Atlantic,
mourns over the diminished length of
the Mississippi, in this strain :
Therefore, the Mississippi between
Cairo and New Orleans was 1,215 miles
long 176 years ago. It was 1,180 after
the cut oil of 1722. It was 1,(40 after
the American bend cut off (some 16 or
17 years ago). It has lost 67 miles
since. Consequently its length is only
973 miles at present.
Now, if I wanted to bo ono of those
ponderous scientific people, and “ let
on” to prove what had occurred in the
remote past by what had occurred in a
given time in the recent past, or what
will occur in the far future by what has
occurred in late years, what an opportu
nity is here ! Geology never had such
a chance, nor such exact date to argue
from ! Nor “development of species,”
either! Glacial epochs are great things,
but they are vague—vague. Please
observe :
In the space of 170 years the lower
Mississippi has shortened itself 242
miles. That is an average of a trifle
over one mile and a third per year.
Therefore, any calm person, who is not
blind or idiotio, can see that in the Old
Oolitio Silurian period, just a million
years ago next November, the Lower
Mississippi river was upwards of 1,300,-
000 miles long, and stack out over the
Gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod. And
by the same token any person can see
that 742 years from now the Lower Mis
sissippi will be only a mile and three
quarters long, and Cairo and New Or
leans will have joined their streets to
gether, and be plodding oomfortably
along under a single mayor and a mu
tual board of aldermen. There is some
thing fascinating about science. One
gets such wholesale returns out of such
a trifling investment of fact.
England’s Overflowing Coffers.
The United States has been pouring in
its precious metal until we have got over
three and a quarter millions more of it
this year than for the first six mouths of
last, although the balance of trade in other
commodities is from one to two millions
more against us there now than then—
hence, also, the fact that there has been
no corresponding drain for other coun
tries. Many nations have sent us less
than they are want to do, but on the
other hand many have wanted less. The
gold-that has come here has therefore
mostly lain here ; and we have had full
coffers when commercial bubbles begin
to burst at home.
A3 we hinfed the other day, this not a
state of affairs likely to last. Not only
are rates for money beginning to rise on
the continent, but they are falling here
below a point at which it can be to any
body’s profit to send us gold. It is not
unlikely that other people’s trade may
be reviving, as ours begins to recede.
And this makes the situation of our money
market less satisfactory than it superfi
cially seems to be. We are j ust apparent
ly entering upon that period of depressed
trade and cautious contraction of busi
ness from which other countries have
suffered so long. Thanks to the free
dom, and, we may say, looseness with
which the vast credits at the command
of onr banking institutions have been
dispensed to all and sundry, we passed
apparently without scathe ‘ through the
time when other countries were in dis
tress. Money was never got so dear as
to destroy the fragile structure on which
our security rested, and it was supposed
that we got off scot -free. Such a notion
can no longer be entertained ; and the
numerous failures we have had must
indubitably usher in a period of
dull trade were it for no other reason
than that they compel banks to stop in
discriminate lending. —London Times.
Cooking Asparagus. —Cut with a

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Castor oil is an excellent thing to
soften lea ther.
Brown paper is an excellent thing to
polish tin with.
Lunar oanstio carefully applied, so
as not to touch the skin, will destroy
warts.
A solution of chloride of iron will
remove nitrate of silver stains from
the hands.
If your flat-irons are rough rub them
with fine salt and it will make them
smooth.
Shellac is the beet cement for jet
articles. Smoking the joint renders it
black to match.
Butter will remove tar spots. Soap
and wat9r will afterward take out the
greasy stain.
Unslacked lime is excellent for clean
ing small steel articles such as jewelry,
buckles, and the like.
To prevent moths in carpets, wash
the floor before laying them with the
spirits of turpentine or benzine.
To clean a brown porcelain kettle,
boil peeled potatoes in it. The porce
lain will be rendered nearly as white as
when new.
The pain and soreness from flesh
wounds will be almost immediately re
lieved by holding for a few moments in
the smoke of burning wool.
Rhubarb leaves freshly gathered from
the garden and placed near the crevises
where cockroaches are found are said to
be invaluable for exterminating these
troublesome insects.
Care of Knives.— Do not permit
case-knife blades or forks to stand in
hot water. It expands the steel and
cracks the handles. Ivory handles
should never be placed in water.
Curing Corns.— People who suffer
from corns should keep a bottle of am
monia upon their wasbstand and rub
the oom night and morning with the
extract. This, with a little care and
trimming, will soon reduce them.
Bakers' Gingerbread.— One cup mo
lassos, two and one-half cups of flour,
three tablespoons butter or lard, one
teaspoon soda dissolved in five table
spoons warm water, one tablespoon
ginger, and half teaspoon or less of
alum.
Coffee Cake. —One cup of molasses,
one cup of sugar, one cup of butter, one
cup ot lukewarm coffee, one teaspoon
soda dissolved in the molasses. Season
with allspice, nutmeg and cloves ; add
plenty of currants, and make quite stiff
with flour.
Rice Pancakes. —Boil half a pound
of rice to a jelly. When cold, mix with
it a pint of cream, two eggs, a little salt
and nutmeg. Stir in four ounces of
butter just warmed, and add as much
flour as will make batter thick enough.
Fry in as little lard as possible.
Good Johnny-Cake. —Beat up one
egg with one-third of a cup of sugar,
add one tablespoonful of melted butter,
and one pint of sweet milk, two and a
half cups of meal, half a cup of flour,
teaspoonfnl of cream tartar and half
teaspoonful of soda.
To Purify a Sink. —ln hot weather it
is almost impossible to prevent the sinks
becoming foul, unless some chemical
preparation is used. One pound of
copperas dissolved in four gallons of
water, poured over a sink three or four
times, will completely destroy the offen
sive odor.
Chocolate Cake. —Whites of two
eggs, chocolate sufficient to thicken
(generally use three small cakes German
prepared chocolate), sweeten to taste.
Spread in layers between cakes, same as
in jelly cake. Cocoanut cake may be
made in the same way, using grated
cocoanut instead of chocolate.
Never repaper a room without first
removing the old paper. The moisture
of the fresh paper canses a fermentation
of the old paste, and hurtful gases are
generated and if the old paper con
tained arsenical colors, the arsenic is
liberated in a deadly form. Tear of? the
old paper and make the walls clean, be
fore applying the new.
One of the best antidotes for bugs,
ants, etc., is a wash made of hot alum
water and applied liberally to all their
haunts. A sure cure for bedbugs is to
wash the bedstead thoroughly and anoint
with a stiff feather every crack and
crevice with quicksilver and the white
of eggs well beaten together. Ten cei.ts
worth of quicksilver to the white of one
egg is sufficient.
Cellars need a thorough renovation.
No half-work will do if you would avoid
disease. Drains and privies, and the
entire premises, in fact, must receive
attention. It is now well known that
typhoid fever never occurs in clean
places where perfect drainage and pure
water are afforded. It can always be
traced to sewer gas, tainted wells, foul
cellars and yards, or some uncleanli
ness.
Let all your house-cleaning opera
tions be conducted with regard to
health, even more than appearances.
Thoroughly air and ventilate and wash
all carpets, clothing, etc., especially
those that have been packed away in
garrets, closets and out-of-way places.
They have, been absorbing vapors and
accumulating injurious substances which
require only warm weather to develop
into breeders of disease.
FARM NOTES.
Seventy-five thousand tons of fer
tilizers were manufactured in Baltimore
last year. Most of this was sent south
to be used on the cotton crop.
The Patrons of Monroe county, Mich.,
receivod from Louisiana, through a
grange agency, six and a half tons of
sugar and a largo amount of coffee.
English gardeners now gladly pay
four shillings each for toads. They find
them the best aud cheapest destroyers
of insects which infest their plants.
The occupants of GOO shanties along
the lines of New York railroads make a
living by planting corn and potatoes
between the raiis and fences. It is said
that 900 acres are cultivated in this
way.
A Kentucky breeder advertises short
horns of “unfashionable pedigrees.”
He has also a goodly number of “seven
teens.” There are cattle descended
from short-horns imported in the year
1817, which was before the day of herd
books, and the pedigrees are a little
uncertain.
The climate of the United States is
said to be the worst for weeds of any
country in the world, being dry and
hot. The climate of England, on the
other hand, is regarded as the host
aciapted to the growth of weeds, being,
moist and cool. Still we beat England
every year in the weed crop.
Mr. Bergh is needed in Paris, if the
statement be true that certain owners of
leech ponds buy up horses that are too
old to work to feed their leeches. The
horses are staked in the pond up to
their bellies, when the leeches immedi
ately attach themselves to them and
suck the blood out of them, which it
takes one or two days to do.
The London Agricultural Gazette
says: “The most suitable age to wean
lambs, is when they are about ten weeks
old. Some flock masters have given
their opinion in favor of eight weeks,
bnt this appears somewhat early. On
the other hand, to see lambs following
their mother*, and depending upon
them up to the beginning or middle of
July, is scarcely consistent with the
most approved ideas of stock manage
ment.”
In England there Is much interest in
the anbiect of cwo-ysar old beef; §oe
farmers reoommend killing cattle be
fore they are two years old. They hold
that the gain is the greatest for the feed
consumed when the animals are firom
thirteen to eighteen months of age. It
must be remembered, however, that
nearly all the stock in England belong
to breeds that mature very early.
WADE BOLTON’S LEGACIES.
The SIO,OOO lie Left the Widow of Stonewall
Jackson,
We published an item yesterday from
the Washington Gazette to the effect
that the legacy of- SIO,OOO left by Wade
Bolton, of this city, to Stonewall Jack
son’s widow, was still held by the exec
utor, and used for speculative purposes.
We have since gathered some facts in
regard to the matter which are of inter
est to the public :
Wade Bolton was before the war a
wealthy negro trader, and became in
volved in a feud with the Dickens family,
which resulted from first to last in seven
or eight deaths. He expected to go the
same way and did. Therefore he wr te
with his own hand a very remarkable
will, making various legacies, not for
getting his old family slaves, who still
remained on his plantation. It provided
that certain lawsuits in whidi he was
engaged should be carried on to the bit
ter end, and cut off all his relatives who
took sides with his enemies or failed to
aid his suits all in their power. Among
other bequests was SIO,OOO to Mrs.
General Jackson, to be paid when his
estate should be wound up. He named
an executor, who was not required to
give bond, but was charged with carry
ing out all the provisions of his will.
He was killed in Court square by Dr.
Dickens, his old partner, about the year
1869, and soon after that Dr. Dickens
was killed by unknown parties a few
miles from the city. And thus ended
the most bloody and remarkable ven
detta of the southwest. Most of the
particulars are fresh in the public mind.
Bolton stands statuesqnely and grim in
Italian marble on an eminence in Elm
wood and his suits go on in the courts.
The Dickens heirs have bronght or
rather continued a very heavy claim
against the Bolton estate. It was de
cided once in the lower courts, but ap
pealed by them to the supreme court,
where it is now pending.
The executor, wo learn, has paid off
various legacies, some of them large
amounts, far exceeding Mrs. Jackson’s.
Ho paid her $5,000 on the 26th of Febru
ary, 1872, but against the advice of the
lawyers retained by the Bolton side.
He also paid the smaller legacies left to
the negroes and to some other persons
in need. It seems that Mrs. Jackson
was to be paid when the estate was
wound up. This has not been done and
perhaps will not be for some years.—

Women on Horseback Man Fashion.
—A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes : The best horsewomen
that I have ever met with are the Ha
waiians. They have no use for the side
saddle, riding with grace and freedom
which cannot be very injurious or inse
cure. Many of the American and Eng
lish ladies visiting the Sandwich Isl
ands have adopted the Hawaiian fash
ion, and prefer it to the side-saddle.
In fact it wonld be a difficult matter in
this rough country for a lady to keep
her seat and manage her long habit if
she had to ride the usaal way.
The last request of a dying man in
Virginia was, that “he should be
buried with his head eighteen inches
higher than his feet; that his cane and
sheepskin should be placed in the coffin
witn him, and that the coffin should be
carefully wrapped up in a blanket.”
Henry K. Bond, of Jefferson, Maine,

weakness of the stomach, by the ueo ol John
