FOETHS FARM AND HOME Scratches in a Horse. Scratches, or grease, in a horse, Is due to disordered blood, loaded with impurities which should have been carried off through the kidneys or bowels. It usually accompanies uri- , nary disorder, and is most prevalent among horses which are fed largely upon grain. Exposure of the legs to mud or wet, or melting snow, aggra vates the condition of l the skin, and assists in the inflammatory eruption. The treatment should be to give cool ing medicines, as twelve to sixteen ounces of Epsom salts, followed by mild diuretics, as one ounce doses of sweet spirits of niter. But a change of food will be helpful; give bran mash, with some cut roots if possible. IVash the legs in warm water and soft soap, and then apply a solution of one dram of sulphate of zinc in a pint of water. The niter should be continued for ten days or two weeks. The legs must be strictly protected from con tact with manure or mud. OH Cake for Young Stock. There is probably no food better adapted to forcing a healthy, rapid growth of young stock than ground oil cake, and in fact we might say there is no food better ifor all kinds of stock. Old broken down horses are made to look sleek and fat by feeding oil cake, while the young stock can be forced in growth to a wonderful extent. Corn and oats are hard to digest for young stock, and often cause disease both in the stomach and mouth. We frequent ly hear complaints that calves and colts are not doing well, although fed an abundance of grain, and have invaria bly found in such cases that they were troubled either with constipation or sore mouth, or both. The first year’s growth on a calf or colt is worth more than the two following, and should bo crowded as fast as possible. During the first year the foundation is laid, and [if dwarfed and cramped from starvation or neglect, can only make a scrub at maturity. The time to make largo frames is during'the first year, and without large frames the prospect for draft or beef are by no means en couraging. Hearing Calve*. ,-e business of rearing good calves some persons treat as of no conse quence, feeding and treating them with much irregularity. They areapt to take pains with the domestic ani mals about the house, but those of the farm are often neglected. To have fine, large cattle, good care must be taken of the calves from the very start. Last year I bought a milch cow with a calf two weeks old. I immedi ately permanently separated them, ami taught the calf to drink skiipmed milk and eat hay, sometimes giving it a little corn meal mixed with fresh milk. The calf soon learned to drink and eat, and has grown apace, and is now a very handsome heifer. The bow, in a few days, became weaned, and gave an abundance of milk. A calf may be readily taught to drink its food, simply by pressing its head into the pail with one hand and inserting the forefinger of the other into its mouth. By this method it will in stinctively suck Its beverage. When a calf is about six weeks old, I turn it into a lot of grass to pasture, but con tinue to give it meal and milk, and skimmed milk twice a day. By this process I increase the size nearly one third beyond that attained by my neighbors’ neglected ones of equal age. To have a fine calf, he must be kept under the farmer’s eye, and always well fed.— Household anil Harm. Forest Jbeave* anit Foreat’Mould. The trees of the forest, by their an nual deposit of leaves and fruits, and finally by the fall and decay of their trunks, prepare valuable beds of humus or forest mould for the use of gardeners and farmers. All who are wise avail themselves of this decayed vegetable matter, which is a wonder fully recuperative agent and greatly prized, especially by market gardeners and florists. Leaf mould, notably that of hard wood trees, such as oak, hickory, beech, walnut and others, contains valuable fertilizing material and is in excellent condition for the ameliora tion of the soil. It is not as a ferti lizer alone that it benefits the land; it tends also to mellow the soil and open it to the action of the rain and the sun, as well as to the roots of plants. Leaf mould has been found especially useful on close clay soils that need aerating, as well as on light lands destitute of the required amount of humus. Forest leaves, that are freshly fallen from the trees, are also of use; and when the farmer has leisure teams and his boys leisure time, it pays to gather and haul these for covering, as a protection against frost and to mix with manure in the hotbed, &c. Many gardeners employ forest leaves for mulching their strawberry beds and for covering celery pitsand hotbed frames. In this connection it may not be amiss to remind readers that the refuse around wood-piles is a good material for mixing in the compost heap.— Neto York World. Effect of Groand l.imtttonr. Dr. A. P. Sharp, of Baltimore, who is a thorough chemist and a good prac tical farmer, recently exhibited to the editor of the Maryland Farmer a field of timothy grass, upon which he had made a test of ground limestone as a fertilizer. The following note, copied from the Maryland Farmer, gives the interesting result: “The timothy was in blossom and ready to be cut; but in the midst of this timothy we observed lines of very rich clover, and upon further observa tion we found that these lines, which were plain and distinct to the eye, formed the letters and words, ‘A. P. ' 8., .J une 4th.’ Our curiosity as to the , matter led to inquiries, and we learned ! from the doctor that to try an experl -1 ment he had purchased a bag of finely ground limestone, and going into the centre of his field, he had sowed by hand in the form of these letters to see if it would have any effect upon the grass, and this was the wonderful result. The grass forming these let ters was double in quantity, and of quite a different color." While this is an exceedingly satis factory experiment, it must not be taken as conclusive as a proof that the ground limestone would always have this remarkable result. Indeed, there are circumstances known in which no ■effect whatever has been noticed from a similar application. The secret, we think, lies in the fact that Dr. Sharp in his farm practice has followed a very excellent and skillful method of supplying his soil liberally with car bonaceous matters. Having a very just appreciation of the value of this kind of manure he has applied it free ly to his soil. The land is, therefore, well supplied with organic forms of carbon compounds, especially carbonic acid. It is a known fact that lime stone is freely dissolved in water con taining carbonic acid, while it may be insoluble in water that is devoid of this solvent. This Is a point of great importance, and should be taken into consideration. It is consistent with the general fact that special fertilizers are most useful in soils rich in organic matter, and very often wholly inert otherwise. This fact seems to explain why ground limestone is so variously estimated, and why in one case it is remarkably effective and in others quite the reverse.— New York Times. Household Hint*. The lustre of morocco is restored by varnishing it with the white of an egg. Apply with a sponge. Kid shoes can bo kept soft and free from cracks by rubbing them once a week with pure glycerine or castor oil. Stovepipes can be cleaned by putting a piece of zinc on the coals of a hot fire. The vapor produced carries off the soot by chemical decomposition. If people will use a porcelain teapot which has been well scalded before the tea is put in, and place it where it will be kept quite hot before pouring on the boiling water, they will find the aroma perfectly preserved. The round porcelain teapot with narow spout and very small opening, just large enough to put in the dry tea with a teaspoon, is the best shape. The old rule, “a teaspoonful for each cup and one for the pot,” is a safe one. Recipe*. Poached Eggs.— Nearly fill frying pan with boiling water; add a little salt and vinegar. Break eggs one at a time into wet saucer; slip from this upon surface of water. Cook slowly ’ three minutes; take up with perforated skimmer; lay carefully upon buttered toast. Hoe Cakes.— Stir into a pint of milk, a teaspoonful of salt, half a pint of corn meal and a teaspoonful of mo lasses; mix, pour it on a hot tin and bake before the fire. Sugar may be used if preferred, and eggs are some times added; but it will not be a true hoe cake. Green Corn Fritters. — Cut thfqugh the centre of each rchtbf kernels, then press out the centre pulp with the back of the knife. Beat two eggs thorough ly, and add to them a heaping salt spoonful of salt, a pinch of cayenne, one pint of corn pulp and flour enough to make a moderately stiff batter -1 Drop the batter in smoking hot fat by tablespoonfuls, and brown them evenly. Chicken Pie.— Stew chicken till ten der,season with one-quarter of a poithd of butter, salt, and pepper; line the, sides of a pie-dish with a rich crust, pour in the stewed chicken, and cover loosely with a crust, first cutting a hole in ttie centre. Have ready a can of oysters; heat the liquor, thicken with a little flour and water, and season with salt, pepper, and butter the size of an egg. When it comes to aboil, pour it over the oysters, and about twenty minutes before the pie is done lift the top crust and put thens in. What Makes Complexion. A pigment under the epidermis makes the complexion. The colored person has a black pigment, the bru nette a light brown pigment, and the blonde a still lighter pigment. When there is no pigment in the skin, an Al bino is the result, with pink eyes, white hair, and white skin. When there is an excess of pigment, freckles, moles and birth-marks appear. Freckles are not alone due to the action of the sun. Some people have them in abundance on the parts of the body not exposed to the sun. The hairs are hollow tubes, and have a supply of pigment sent into them which determine the i color of the hair. The pigment comes from the blood. White hair may be from absence of pigment or from the I presence of air in the tubes. TOPIC'S OF THE DAI. The richest single woman in the country is Catherine Wolfe. She hat an income estimated at half a million a year, and she owns real estate all over New York. Her father, Deter Wolfe, married Peter Lorillard’s sister, and with her got a dowry of $1,000,000. His wife died soon after and he mar ried another of the Lorillard sisters, and with her got another million. In a short time she died also, and Wolfe, after speculating awhile with his two million and more, died himself, and his property came to his daughter Catherine. Os the 2,047,000 women in occupa- in the United States 595,000 are engaged in agriculture, most of them colored women in the Southern States; 632,000 are in manufactories, of whom about one-half are in New York, Mas sachusetts and Pennsylvania; 282,000 are milliners, etc.; 50,000 are tailors. Os the 44 occupations recorded as “personal service,” 40 find women in them. The 525 female surgeons of 1870 have increased to 2,743; the 7 lawyers to 75; the 65 clergymen to 165. The number of laundries have Increased from 61,000 In 1870 to 122,- 000, and of the latter 108,600 are kept by women. This large increase shows a great lightening of the housewife’s labor. According to the last United States census there are 563 establishments in this country devoted to the proprie tary medicine business, employing 4,- 015 operatives, with an aggregate in vestment of capital amounting to $lO,- 620,000, and the annual product is valued at $14,682,000. New York State leads all others with an invested capital of $3,512,430, which is about one-third of the entire country’s in vestment. Pennsylvania comes next and Missouri ranks third in invested capita), followed respectively by Ohio and Massachusetts. In the amount of annual product New York again stands first, followed in order by Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, the other States standing about even. A fair calculation is that about twenty five American proprietary medicines have at present a very large sale in England. The American Exhibition in Lon don next summer promises to be a success. The site is already engaged, and occupies twenty acres near the West Brompton station. The exhibits will have for their aim the “showing to the-Old World what the resources, products, manufactures, and arts of the United States are at the present time.” Perhaps one of the most in teresting parts of the Exhibition will be the “American Garden,” in which will be seen as complete a flora of the United States as can be collected. The trees, shrubs, and plants are to be ar ranged according to longitude and lati tude. In this way the student may study local diversities in systematio progression, and many flowers and flowering shrubs will appear for the first time away from their native habi tat, A special newspaper, published monthly, called the American Eagle, is issued to promote and explain the ob jects of the exhibition, which is ex epected to form a leading attraction of the next season. Hurricanes nt Honolulu. “Talk about tornhdoes and cyclones,” said Reserve Officer Stark. “People living in this section of the country don't know what they are. In the neighborhood of the Sandwich islands, and particularly off Honolulu', which is at the head of the lamlloeked harbor, is the place for hurricanes.* The moun tains back of Honolulu are saw shaped and they have a queer effect on the atmospheric currents.

Our port anchor, i \ which weighed about a ton and a half, | was hanging on the rail forward, and the same gust struck one of the flukes. ' It tore loose the fastening, whirled that anchor through the afr like ii bit of thistle down, and left it hanging [on the main yard-arm. It put us to fj I heap of trouble to get it down again.’' —Philadelphia Times.

How All Work on the Teeth Has Been Perfected. Nearly a Ton of Gold Annually Buried with Dead People “A -on of gold goes under the ground nearly every year,” said a prominent Philadelphia dentist, “bur ied In the teeth and plates of people who have at one time or another been in the dental chair. The repair and refurnishment of the teeth has got to be a profession of the highest skill and proficiency. High standing in the profession is repaid with richest re wards. The establishment of the uni versity department of dentistry has given a great impetus to the study. Scores of able and expert young men matriculate annually. They come from all parts of the world—South America, Cuba, Mexico, the continent, and Japan, This city is foremost in dental operations and dental surgery. Some of the work turned out here is wonderfully perfect. Many men and women prefer false teeth to the natu ral ones, if the latter are the least bit defective, and few people have a per fect set of teeth. “Instruments ?” Why, yes, the in strumentation of a first-class dentist is comprised in several large cases, like that,” pointing to a series of handsome rosewood cases, and pulling out draw er after drawer, filled with delicate steel probes, chisels, borers, and for ceps. The manufacture of these is a great trade in itself. There is the den tal engine, one of the greatest inven tions in the profession, indispensable now, with its flexible screw. The elec tric mallet, another modern invention unknown to the old-fashioned tooth carpenters, is used by nearly all den- j tists and requiring a battery to run it. The rubber dam or appliance placed over the tooth and mouth of a patient to prevent moisture and saliva reach ing the part operated on is the great est of the modern discoveries. Any one who has been In the dentist’s chair under thdold plan, which neeessitat ted packing the mouth of the patient with napkins, and since under the rub ber dam, can see what, infinite torture this scientific adaptation has relieved him from. "Twenty thousand dollars a yeai. Yes, there are dental surgeons in this city who make that much by their pro fession. A clientage very often in cludes a whole family and the care of the teeth of eacli from infancy until adolescence and beyond. American dentists have the highest repute abroad—Dr Evans, for instance, whose patients in Paris and elsewhere were empresses, kings, queens, and princes of the blood. ‘•Gohl is the best material yet found for filling teeth. Silver and composi tion of various kinds, being cheaper, are used, but the royal metal is the only one which ought to be used. The manufacture of gold foil or leaf for our business is immense, and hundred of thousands of dollars worth are con sumed every year. “The teeth should be looked to often by a good dentist. Individual care early in life saves much dental work and expense. It used to be the idea that the deciduous teeth, as they were temporary affairs, needed no attention. They should be treated with greater attention than the second set. They are not filled now* as much as formerly, but extracted when caries attacks them. The bibical expression, ‘skin of the teeth,’ is true. There is a deli cate enamel, resembling epidermis in jts microscopic delicacy, and covers the teeth with a beautiful mosaic, which is susceptible of a perfect polish, which ' you may see glistening on the teeth of ’ some young people and Africans. Ac- i ids go for this and once broken in up- ' on caries ensues. Good and bad teeth are hereditary, but early care and pro fessional skill will do much with even » bad naturil set of teeth. A Phila delphia father I know—client of mine -—has in each of his children’s rooms over the lavatory the following motto: ■Say your prayers; wash your face; .comb your hair; brush your teeth.’ It Is a good one.”— Philadelphia Times. Schools and Press of Mexico. It is a lamentable fact that but a small portion of the Mexican people are able to read and write. The total number of illiterate persons is not defi nitely known, there being no accurate census returns to which references can be made. The most reliable estimate that catt be arrived at places the num ber at 7,000,000, or fully two-thirds of the entire population. It is safe to say that of all the daily papers published in the City of Mexico no one of them has a circulation of'<soo copies outside of the city of publication, while it is more than probable that the combined outside circulation of all tbe dailies will not exceed that number. I have been in a Mexican city of 12,000 inhabitants, where not a single copy of a dally newspaper was subscribed for by the entire native population, and where not fifty newspapers of any kind were received at the post-office, except i those addressed to residents and visitors i of foreign birth.— lndianapolis Times. j — """*" -f f Next to.

A Dakota fanner says that he has raised seventeen bushels of wheat in three years from one grain of seed. This information will be very valuable to those anticipating moving into Dakota.
