HOUSE. FARM AND GARDEN.
The Economics of the Kitchen and the
Barn.
Woman on Farm Dairying.—Dairy
ing should be promoted to a greater ex
tent, and while I would in no wise de
preciate these extensive factory enter
prises, I believe they cannot surpersede
the necessity, nor should their existence
furnish an excuse to avoid the trouble
of farm dairying. If, from any pretext,
our farmers should abandon the custom
of producing sufficient amount of but
ter and cheese for the consumption of
their families, a short period of time
must prove the fallacy of the schemes.
Farmers’ daughters generally take too
little interest in household matters.
Cooking Cranberries.— Tn the first
place select ripe fruit and remove all
defective berries. The pelected fruit
must then be thoroughly washed
through several waters ; one washing is
not enough. To every pound of fruit
add one pound of sugar. Put them
into a preserving kettle over a slow fire.
Do not hurry the process of stewing.
To prevent the berries from sticking to
the kettle, stir them frequently with a
silver spoon. When done, turn them
into a dish, and set aside to cool ; after
which they may be used for pies, tarts
or sauce. When for sauce, mash them
fine through a cullender, and put them
into small molds suitable for the table,
having first rinsed the molds in cold
water to prevent the berries from stick
ing.
Hens Hatched in July aro said to
make far better layers than those born
at any other season of the year. Early
hatched chicks commenco laying in
September and continue until cold Jan
uary weather, when they discontinue
until spring, On the other hand, when
hatched in July or August, they begin
in February and continue until October.
July chickens will average 50 to 75 more
eggs yearly than those hatched in March.
A contributor to the Country Gentleman
writes.: The light Brahmas have always
fowls ; but with great reluctance I am
obliged, after three years trial, to place
the Partridge Cochins at the head of the
list. As layers they excel any Asiatic
breed I have ever known, and as market
fowls they have no equal. Thoy are
very hardy, mature early, and make
short-legged, yellow-fleshed, heavy
breasted fowls.
Now That the Flies Have Become
Thinned Off by tho return of cool
weather, the tidy housewife rolls up her
sleeves and wasli-rag in hand joyfully
cleanses the paint of her dwelling from
the filthy specks that have haunted her
all summer long. And this is tho way
au unexceptional housekeeper does it :
I wet the door or window-frame all over
with a cloth that will not drip. Then I
go back to tho place where I began and
wash the whole over very quickly and
easily, then use a clean dry cloth. I
should not think of mentioning this,
but the other day I saw a hired girl of
considerable experience rubbing hard
and long upon a door, and sighing be
cause fly-specks were so hard to wash
off—simply because she did not think
to put the work “a-soak. ’ Not long be
fore I saw a man undertake to clean,
and greatly injure, a painted piece of
furniture covered with the marks of last
year’s fly-time, by rubbing a coat of
soap all over it and then washing off'
soap and paint and dirt together. Cold
water alone would have cleaned it bet
ter. Soap always injuries paint more
or less.
Visit to a Dairy Farm in Holland.
Most of the vehicles and the more com
mon implements of the farm aro of the
rudest and most primitive sort, such as
no one of us would think fit for use ;
yet everything indicates that the work
is well and promptly done. The cheese
making is carried on in a dark-looking
old room, and the apparatus is probably
the same as has been in vogue on the
farm for 200 years. At the same time
everything was scrupulously clean, and
the product bears the highest reputa
tion in the local market, which is a
large one and is frequented by the
wholesale dealers. ' I do not know
enough of our own manner of cheese
making to say wherein the Dutch
system differs from it; but I do know
enough of the quality of.the article
when brought to the table to consider
the Dutch cheese well entitled to its
higher price. So far as I could judge,
there is nothing in the cattle, in the
forage, nor in the process of manufac
ture which should prevent us from
making the same article, and supplying
our own markets with a kind of cheese
which is now imported very largely.
Irrigation With Liquid Manure.—
There is no doubt that the experience
of the last two or three years will lead
to a very early use of some method or
other of irrigating crops grown upon
land of more than ordinary value.
Market gardens, lawns, private gardens,
dairy farms on which soiling crops are
grown, all will, before long, be brought
under some system of irrigation, not so
much with water as with fertilizers in a
liquid form. When it becomes a ques
tion of crop or no crop upon land that
must pay interest on a cost of several
hundred dollars per acre, to say nothing
of repaying the costly labor laid out
upon the crops, and that the saving of
the crop depends upon a supply of
moisture which is withheld by nature,
it is certain that an immediate solution
•will be found in providing means for
supplying the needed moisture. Be
sides, manure already dissolved is im
mediate in its action upon plants, and
is at once absorbed by the roots. By
irrigation with weak solutions of
manure, crops of rye grass are contin
ually grown upon some English dairy
farms which amount in the aggregate to
thirty tons per acre during one season,
and an aggregate growth of 100 inches
has been thus procured by making sev
eral cuttings.— Agriculturist.
Wintering Bees. —After arranging
all the frames in a proper manner, the
brood as near the center of the brood
chamber as possible, I cover them up
with a woolen blanket which is lined
with muslin. Small strips are laid
under the blanket to allow the bees a
passage over the top of the frames. The
second coyer is a straw mat lined with a
double thickness of a coffee bag. The
straw mat is of the size of the old
fashioned honey board, completely cov
ering the brood chamber. On the top
oi the straw mat in front and behind, I
lay two one-inch straps and on these
straps the cover of the hive. I use the
Langstroth hive exclusively. The
woolen blanket and the straw mat re
tain the necessary lreat and keep the
table, while at the same
time they act as an absorber, and the
air passing directly over the mat dries
up the moisture. We know that the
old fashioned straw hive is the best hive
for wintering, and with my straw mat
arrangement I have the principle of it.
I had not a square inch of moldy comb
in any one of my hives, no dysentery
among my bees, and I lost none. With-
out the second story on, the hive is
easier uncovered, and every one of us
knowns that the handier we keep our
bees the oftener we look at them. This
done with discretion is very beneficial.

ANTIQUITY OF MAN.
Five Hundred Thousand Years at Least
—Speculations of Mr. Alfred Russel
Wallaee.
In the issue of Nature for Oct 2,
Alfred Russel Wallace indulges in some
speculations on the probable antiquity
of the human species, which may well
startle even those who have loug since
come to the conclusion that 0,000 years
carry us but a small way back to the
original homo. In fact, in Mr. Wal
lace’s reckoning, 6,000 years are as a
day. He begins by complaining of the
timidity of the scientific men when
treating of this subject, aud points out
the fallacy of always preferring the
lowest estimate, in order to be “ on the
safe side.” He declares that all the
evidence tends to show that the safe
side is probably with the large figures.
He reviews the various attempts to de
termine the antiquity of human remains
or works of art, and finds the bronze
age in Europe to have been pretty
accurately fixed at 3,000 to 4,000 years
ago, the stone age of the Swiss lake
dwellings at 5,000 to 7,000 years “and
an indefinite anterior period.” The
burnt brick found sixty feet deep in the
Nile alluvium indicates an antiquity of
20,000 years; and her fragment at
seventy-two feet gives 30,000 years.
“A human skeleton found at a depth of
sixteen feet below four buried forests,
superposed upon each other, has been
calculated by Dr. Dowler to have an
antiquity of 50,000 years.” But all
these estimates pale before those which
Kent’s cavern at Torquay legitimates.
Here the drip of the stalagmite is the
chief factor of our computations, giv
ing us an upper floor which “divides
the relics of the last two or three thou
sand years from a deposit full of the
w mamalia, many of
glutton, indicate an
Names cut into this stalagmite more
than 200 years ago are still legible ; in
other words, where the stalagmite is
twelve feet thick, and the drip still very
copious, not more than a hundredth o*f
a foot lifts been deposited in two cen
turies—a rate of five feet in 100,OCX)
years. Below this, however, we have a
thick, much older, and more crystalline
(i. e., more slowly formed) stalagmite,
beneath which again, “in a solid brec
cia, very different from the cave of
earth, undoubted works of art have
been found.” Mr. Wallace assumes
only 100,000 years for the upper floor,
and about 250,000 for the lower, and
adds 150,000 for the intermediate cave
earth, by which he arrives at the “sum
of half a million as representing the
years that have probably elapsed since
flints of human workmanship were bu
ried in the lowest deposits of Kent’s
cavern.”
Oakey Hall on Love and Marriage.
Oakey Hall thus describes love and
marriage in his lecture on love, marri
age and divorce: True love purifies the
heart, emancipates it from the slavery
of passions, and makes man and woman
strong, noble and courageous. A man
falls in love just as he falls down stairs.
It might be an accident, probably it was,
or it might be a misfortune which lasted
all through life. How inexpressive was
that phrase “paying attention,” as if
that did not belong more to marriage
than to courtship, and the phrase was
not infrequently heard in former years,
which was immortalized by Mrs. Pod
snap, “Bless me, they have gone on
their bridal tour to become acquainted
with each other.” If it were possible to
have a preliminary bridal tour, under
proper escort, and tho young couple
had experience of the annoyances nec
essarily entailed by a trip of that char
acter, and if they were familiar with the
tempers and dispositions of each other,
the wonder would be, not that there
are so few happy marriages under the
arrangements of modern society, but
that there were so many. Marriage was
not a partnership. He did not wish to
be understood as saying that alone, for
it was a cold word. Marriage was a
companionship. Driving home from the
business cares, as Disraeli used, they
would find that tho old individuality
was gone, that anew companion
ship existed; and as the best illustra
tion of the idea of marriage, he would
go back to the time of Lord William
Russell, who was represented at his trial
by his wife, and of all the pictures which
hung in the historic temple, there was
none so attractive and beautiful as the
picture of Lady Russel 1 in companionship
with her husband, not only in the court
room, but in tho prison, and in bis last
moments. And, if they asked for a
definition of true marriage, it was
compressed in the word companionship.
Who Can Most Easily be Spared?
Young men, this is the first question
your employers ask themselves, when
business becomes slack, and when it is
thought necessary to economize in the
matter of salaries. This question is an
swered in an American journal to our
satisfaction. It answers the question
who can best be spared this wav : The
barnacles, the shirks, the make-shifts,
somebody’s nephews, some
body’s good-for-nothings. Young man,
please remember that these are not the
ones who are called for when responsi
ble positions are to be filled. Would
you like to gauge your own fitness for a
position of prominence? Would you
like to know the probabilities of your
getting such a position ? Inquire with
in ! What are you doing to make
yourself valuable in the position you
now occupy? If you are doing with
your might what your hands find to do,
the chances are tetf to one that you will
soon become so valuable in that posi
tion that you cannot easily be spared
from it; and then, singular to relate,
will be the very time when you will be
sought out for promotion to a better
place. Be content to grade among the
men who can easily be spared, and you
may rest assured that nothing will
“ s pare ” you so certainly and so easily
nromotion.
Gen. Schenck’s Little Joke. —The
English of to-day are most severely,
prosaically practical and commonplace.
Gen. Schenek, our minuter to England,
having had as a fellow-passenger on the
outward steamer a son- of Ben Holliday,
of overland stage fame, thought to make
a joke on a gentleman named Christmas,
whom he met soon after landing in En
gland. Said the general: “I think I
met a relative of yours on the steamer,
judging fromhisname--aMr. Holliday.”
“Ah i” said Mr. Christmas, meditatively,
“ I think not. I never heard of a rela
tive by that name.” Afterward, Mr.
Schenek told the story at a dinner-table,
and the guests each glared at his neigh
bor, and no one saw the joke. At last,
out of very civility, tne host, a noble
lord, feebly lauglie 1 and said, “Ah !
yas ; very good, general. Ah, were they,
ah—related, you know?”
Kate Field on Woman Doctors.
The American Register bases its ar
guments as to women’s unfitness for the
medical profession upon the assertion
that they cannot possess equal power
with men because "their physical inferi
ority limits the use of the brain. At
the same time, the Register speaks of
women as men’s rivals. If women are
so inferior there can be no rivalry, for
rivalry pre-supposes equality. There
fore, why should male physicians be
troubled at the appearance of “odious”
petticoats? Is it because they are not
quite sure about woman’s natural infe
riority? But I deny that all physicians
are opposed to lemale practitioners.
That many entertain a great prejudice
against them is true, and ought not to
excite wonderment. No one likes to
have his business interfered with. Pad
dy, the Irish laborer, hatps Ah Sin, ac
cuses him of every vice under the sun,
and swears that the Chinese pig-tail has
come to take the bread out of his chil
dren’s mouths. One corner grocery
does not adore the next corner grocery.
One prima donna is not the bosom friend
of another prima donna. The world is
fully acquainted with human nature’s
little weaknesses, and when it wants a
judicial opinion about Ah Sin, corner
grocery No. 2, or prima donna No. 2, it
does not go to paddy, or to grocer or
prima donna No. 1. The larger part
of medical practico is among women,.
consequently there is danger that wo
men may prefer to be treated by their
own sex. As the Register declares men
to be “selfish,” they can be forgiven for
turning their backs upon female aepi
rants. All, however, do not. Some of
the most enlightened doctors of my ac
quaintance are ever ready to lend assist
ance to struggling female medical col
leges. One with whom I recently trav
eled was more than generous in his es
timate of woman’s capacity for medi
cine, and a well known physician of New
York has recently given the strongest
possible evidence of his sentiments by
becoming engaged to a young American
woman doctor, who, not able to pursue
his career in her country, studied
nnd took an honorable degree
in Paris. Physicians are slandered
when it is claimed that, as a body, they
are opposed to women as “rivals.”
Famous Trees.
Individual trees, planted by famous
men, are still to be seen by the pilgrims
who visit their homes and haunts. In
the last century, there was quite a fash
ion for planting willows. It is said
that the first weeping willow seen in
England was sent to the poet Pope, as a
present, from Turkey, by his friend,
Lady Mary Wortly Montagu, and
planted by him in his garden at Twick
enham. It is the famous Salix Bahy
lonica of the Psalter, upon which, on
the banks of the Euphrates, the weep
ing daughters of Jerusalem hung their
harps. Garrick planted two willows on
his lawn, beside his Sliakspeare tem
ple ; in the midst of a thunder storm,
which destroyed one of them, the pious
and devoted widow of the great actor
was seen running up and down, exci
tedly, crying out, “Oh, my Garrick!
Oh, my Garrick !” The willow, known
as Dr. Johnson’s willow, at Litchfield,
was blown down long ago ; it was said,
in the Gardener’s Magazine, to have been
planted by him, but it is more probable
that his admiration and talk of it de
veloped the legend of his planting it.
At the time of its destruction, it was
13 feet in girth. Pieces of household
furniture and snuff boxes were made of
it; and slips from it were planted, by
hie admirers, throughout the neighbor
ing country ; an offset of the old tree
was planted on the same site. Thomas
Moore tells us that, when Byron first
went to Newstead abbey, from Aber
deen, at the age of 10, he planted a
young oak in some part of the grounds.
He had a notion (or thought lie hadl
that as it flourished so should he. Six
or seven years later, on revisiting the
spot, he found his oak clicked up with
weeds, and almost dead.
The First Element of a Home.
I never saw a garment too fine for
man or maid ; there was never a chair
too good for a cobbler or cooper to sit
in ; never a house too fine to shelter the
human head. These elements about us,
the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun, are
not too good for the human race. Ele
gance fits man. But do we not value
these tools of housekeeping a little more
than they are worth, and sometimes
mortgage home for the mahogany we
would bring into it ? I had rather eat
my dinner off the head of a barrel, or
dress after the fashion of John the Bap
tist in the wilderness, or sit on a block
all my life, than consume all myself
before I get a home, and take so much
pains with the outside that the inside
was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty
is a great thing, but beauty of garments,
house and furniture is a very tawdry
ornament compared w T itli domestic love.
All the elegance in the world will not
make a home, and 1 would give more
for a spoonful of hearty love than for
whole ship-loads of furniture, and all
the upholesters of the world could
gather together.

permanent relief I believe that it saved my lie
last spring when I commenced its me. I do not

It gives me immediate relief, and I am greatly im
proved in genera) health.

Bradlaugh and Jenkins in New York.
Mr. Jenkins (“ Ginx’s Baby”) was
not so desperately bad as the bulk. He
had a “ highly intelligent ” audience to
hear him, and those words are used in
New York to describe five or six gentle
men with high foreheads and as many
ladies. When the house is one-third
full it ceases to be “ highly intelligent.”
When two-thirds full it is “large and
fashionable,” and after that it gets to be
a dense crowd, or a perfect jam. Jenk
ins had the highly intelligent thing,
and, rather than to speak to such a
handful, I’d invite an idiot asylum and
a deaf and dumb school to fill up. Brad
laugh was injured, I think, by the litho
graphs he brought from ’ome and
strewed the town with. They represent
the gentleman as he appeared at Exeter
Hall, with his left foot on some iron
scroll work that runs round the plat
form, and his left hand is raised in
heavy argument fashion. The picture
in a moment tires you with the attitude.
In every shop window there he stands
balancing on one leg, and the thing be
comes so painful that after a dozen
blocks there isn’t anything about you
you wouldn’t give to get that man’s leg
off that spike and put that menacing
fist into his paper pocket. It has tor
mented me so that I don’t dare look in
show windows. The boys are singing
the song of “ Saw his leg off.” It
would be a mercy if they would. — Mrs.
Burnham in St. Louis Republican.
Eating Without an Appetite.
Tt is wrong to eat witLowb on oppotito,
for it shows there is no gastric juice in
the stomach, and that nature does not
need food, and not needing it, there
being no fluid to receive and act upon
it, it remains there only to putrify, the
very thought of which should be suffi
ccnt to deter any man from eating with
out an appetite for the remainder of his
life. If a tonic is taken to whet the ap
petite it is a mistaken course, for its
only result is to cause one to eat more,
when already an amount has been eaten
beyond what the gastric juice is able to
prepare.
The object to be obtained is a larger
supply of gastric juice, not a larger sup
ply of food ; and whatever fails to have
any efficiency towards the cure of dys
peptic diseases. The formation of gas
tric juice is directly proportioned to
the wear and tear of the system, which
it is to be the means of supplying, and
this wear and tear can only be the re
sult of exercise. The efficient remedy
for dyspepsia is work— out-door work—
beneficial and successful in direct por
portion as it is agreeable, interesting
and profitable.
Opinions of the Press.— The Texas
New Yorker says : “An old Scotch phy
sician once said to one of his patients :
‘ Keep your feet warm, your head cool,
and your bowels open, an’ there’s little
* ilse ’ can harm ye. ’ This aphorism is
full of wisdom, and expresses exactly
what Dr. Walkei’s California Vinegar
Bitters will do for you. We speak of
what we know from nearly two year’s
practical experience in the use of this
indispensable family medicine. Its of
fice is to attack a lazy, torpid liver, and
impart new life to this vital organ—a
proper flow of Wile and a prompt dis
charge of effete matter. A good diges
tion and appetite are restoted to the
sufferer. Pure blood, the ‘life of the
flesh,’ is secured, and the patient soon
feels himself a walking electrical bat
tery. Good health is more precious
than fine gold—Vinegar Bitters restores
it, and is, therefore, above price. The
man who discovered it is a philosopher
and a benefactor of his race.”

conduct an agency for the reception of advertise
ments for American newspapers—the most complete
establishment of the kind in the world. Six thou
sand newspapers arc kept regularly on file, open to
inspection by customers. No reading-room, how
ever complete, receives one-twentieth of this num
ber. Every advertisement is taken at the home
price of the paper, without any additional charge or
commission, so that an advertiser, in dealing with
the agency, is saved trouble and correspondence,
making one contract instead of a dozen, a hundred
or a thousand. A book of eighty pages, containing
lists of best papers, largest circulations, religious
papers, agricultural papers, class papers, political
papers, daily papers, country papers, magazines
and all publications, with some information about
prices, is sent free to any address on application.
Persons at a distance wishing to make Contracts for
advertising in any town, city, state or territory of
the United States, or any portion of the Domin
ion of Canada, may send a concise statement of
what they want, together with a copy of the adver
tisement they desire inserted, and will receive infor
mation by return mail which will enable them to
decide whether to increase, reduce or forego the or
der. For such information there is no charge what
ever. Publishers not only send their files free, but
pay Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Cos. for their services.
Orders are accepted for a single paper as well as for
a larger list; for a single dollar as readily as for a
larger sum. Address the

NEW YORK, 1873-4. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY!
THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known to require any extended recommenda
tion; but the reasons which have already given it fifty thousand subscribers, and
which will, w r e hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly as follows:
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, con
densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always presented in
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of entertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is a first-rate story paper. The best tales and romances of current literature
are carefully selected and legibly printed in its pages.
It is a first-rate agricultural paper. The most fresh and instructive articles on
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no col
lar. It fights for principle, and for the election of the best men to office. .It es
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and disgrace our country, and threaten to undermine republican, institutions
altogether. It has no fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies, and the markets for the men, especially the
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will secure it for
any subscriber. It is not necessary to get up a club in order to have THE WEEKLY
SUN at this rate. Any one who sends a single dollar will get the paper for a year.
XIIK WEEKLY SUN.—Eight pages, fifty-six Columns. Only ?1 .OO a year, no discounts
from this rate.
