/arm anb CULTI’RE OF CABBAGE. Since the advent of the cabbage worm almoKt every one has been at a loss to know what to do to raise a few cabbages. Some have tried one thing and some have tried another, and mostly to no purpose. Last year I set about three hundred and thirty five plants, and picked off the worms by hand as they came, for about two weeks which took some two hours each day. This seemed to be too mucli work, and as I have a well of soft water near by, I took a five-pail kettle, set it near the well, put into it a pint of soft soap and the same of salt, and then filled it up with water. I let this stand till the water was warmed by the sun, and then, after stirring it up well, I took my water pot and applied it at the rate of about a gallon to forty heads, putting it in the center. I did this every day and the result was I had the nicest and hardest cabbages that were ever rais ed. I had no trouble to get ten cents per head although cabbage was very cheap here. Some make a practice of buying their plants, but I would not give one cent per hundred unless I knew what I was getting.—Culti vator. ' * As the weather will soon be grow ing warm and cooling beverages will be in demand, we publish a receipt for making a pleasant, harmless and somewhat nutritious drink that costs but little and is easily made. Boil a pint of corn until it is soft without bursting. Put it in a gallon of water in which a pint of good molasses has been stirred, shake well and set it near the flic in a warm place, and in 24 hours the beer will be excellent. It may be bottled and by adding more water and molasses to the corn the beer will be ready for use in 12 hours. The same corn will answer for six months and the beer can be kept constantly on hand. The beer will not cost over six cents per gal lon, and will be better and more wholesome than cider. A little yeast may be used to advantage in the. first making. A correspondent of an exchange furuishes the following recipe for the cure, of blind staggers in horses: First, bleed the horse as long as he can well stand it, and then pour one tablcspoonful of spirits of turpentine and the same quantity of the root of garlic, well pounded, in each ear.— Then stick corn cobs in each ear, ami tie them securely, in order that the cobs may not be shaken out; after which smoke the nostrils of the horse severely with tar, feathers and rags twice a day. Relative to changing the clothing, it is considered hazardous to lessen its amount after dressing in the morn ing, unless active exercise is taken immediately. No under garments should be changed for lighter ones during the day, ordinarily. The best, safest and most convenient time for lessening (he clothing is in the morn ing, when we first dress for the day. For severe burns, take unslackcd lime and pour water on it. When the water is drawn off clear, mix flax seed oil with it until it becomes yel low and thick like syrup. Apply to burns at any stage, the earlier, how ever, the better. We. publish this be cause we arc confident it is the best application in severe cases, as well as slight burns. ► ♦ -♦ Fruit spots are removed from white and fast-colored cottons by the use of chloride of soda. Commence by cold soaping the article, then touch the spot with a hair-pencil or n feather dipped in the chloride, dipping it im mediately into cold water to prevent the texture of the article being in jured. The Parisian method of cleaning black silk is to brush and wipe it thor oughly, lay it on a flat tabic, with the side up which is intended to show, and sponge with hot coffee strained through muslin. Allow it to become partially dry, then iron. — Always water plants with a sponge. Get the large, coarse kind and you will save yourself much annoyance and spalteivd walls.

Golly, boss, a morgitch makes a nigger mighty honest.” Tie had been gone from the parental roof six months—left home in the first bloom of summer, with a smile upon his brow' and a pickaxe in his hand. The Black Hills liis destination, glory and gold the goal. A summer spent amid the auriferous rocks—industry, 1 perseverance and a rare knowledge I of chemistry and minerology his use-; ful tools, in addition to the pickaxe. Results arc such that he is enabled to 1 return sooner than his most sanguine expectations bad allowed him to even dream of doing. Almost at home, he paused outside the town until nightfall and sends to r his waiting, expectant parent the fol lowing suggestive message: “Bring me a blanket and a pair of old pants—l’ve got a hat!” < A crusty bachelor, whom the rain had kept in-doors for lo! these many days and nights, was observed stand ing in the hall door and apostrophiz ing the weather to the following effect: “Tell me, ye winged winds that round my pathway roar, do ye uot know some spot where women fret no more, some lone and pleasant dell, some ‘holler’ in the ground, where babies never yell, and cradles are not found?” The loud winds blew the rain into his face, and he calmly replied: “There is no such a place.” “My wife tells the truth three times a day,” remarked a jocose old fellow, at the same time casting a mischiev ous glance at his “better half.” “Be fore rising in the morning, she says, Oh dear, I must get up, but I don’t want to!” After breakfast she adds, “Well, I suppose I must go to work, but I don’t want to!” And she goes to bed saying, “There! I have been on the move all day, and haven't done anything.” 1 ■ - ' ' » ♦ - - At the marriage of a widower, one •of the servants was asked if his boss would take a bridal tour. “Dunno, sir; when old missus’ was alive he took a paddle to her; dunno if he take a bridle to de new one or not." -♦-*— A tramp applied to a lady for some thing to ent. “Why don’t you go to work ?” asked she. “There's nothing doing at my trade just now.” “What is your business?” “Holding election tickets at the corners.” - *»♦ ■* - Mankind has been long growling about the cold and “taking a nip of something to warm up.” The same, fellows arc now beginning to growl about the heat, and sup some of the same fluid to "keep cool.” A man with a pair of creaky boots always has music in his sole, and he generally executes a solo just at the very moment when the rest of the congregation have settled down to a quiet nap. ► Nothing exceeds that peaceful calm which steals over a young man as he j sits in the shade and watches his I mother maul a carpet on the clothes I line. He pities her, but he didn’t ' invent carpets. The sign on a returning emigrant's wagon rends “Rough on Texas—go ing back to my mother-in-law.” Agree, for the law is very costly. W. G.

It dis cusses all questions of public interest, and t*»u<*hes upon nil current themes.
