/arm anb Salting Stock.—One of the most important tilings to attend to in the care of farm stock of every kind, is that they have access at all times to salt. In this connection we would again call attention to the practice in vogue' with many farmers, in that they salt irregularly, and at such times with too liberal a hand. Thus animals will gorge themselves, and this often results in severe purging. Again, when salt is thrown about on the ground to be licked up, the larger animals get more than they should, and the smaller ones little or none. Besides, injury to weak animals is often the result of this struggle. proper way to salt stock is tqaHb the salt placed under cover, wnwe they may get it 'every dayif tWSy wish. In. this way just what they want and. no and while eating what is neeestjan' sos never take cnotign to • Thus cattle will seldom than an ordinary lable spotffiful per day, and about « quire in digestion.

Repeat the morning and evening. It be be good for burns, scalds, bruises and sprains. An exchange says: “A successful fanner and a number one horse mas ter handed us the following recipe for the cure of colic in horses. He has often tried it, with good results in every case, lie regards it as an in fallible remedy: Take one-half pint of wheat flour and dissolve in three half pints of cold water, then use as a drench. It is a cheap and simple remedy, and within the reach of all. To avoid catching cold, accustom yourself to the free use of cold water every morning on first getting out of bed. It should be followed by a good deal of rubbing with a wet towel. It has considerable effect in giving tone to the skin and maintaining a proper action in it, and thus proves a safe guard to the injurious influence of cold and sudden changes of temperature. The following is said to be an excel lent remedy for burns : One ounce of pulverized borax, one quart of boiling water, half ounce of pulverized alum. Shake up well and bottle. Wrap the burn up in soft linen and keep con stantly wet with the solution. Do not remove the linen until the burn is cured. - —-► ♦ -< Dip a flannel cloth in warm soap suds, then into whiting, and apply it to paint and it will almost instantly remove grease and dirt from wood work of all descriptions about, your house.

Democrat: ‘Halloo, stranger, you seem to be going to market?’ ‘Yes, sir, I am.’ ‘What are you carrying that plow along for?’ ‘Going to send it to Pittsburg.’ ‘To Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania?’ ‘You’re mighty right, I am.’ ‘What are you going to send it there for ?’ ‘To get sharpened.’ ‘All the way to Pittsburg to get it sharpened ?’ ‘You bet 1 We’ve starved our black smith out. He pulled up stakes and went to Texas.’ ‘Well, that’s a rather novel idea, my friend—sending a plow so far to get sharpened.’ ‘Not so novel as you heard it was. We do our milling in St. Louis.’ ‘ls that so ?’ ‘You’re right it is. We used to have a mill at Punkinvinc creek, but the owner got too poor to keep it iq , so we turned to getting our grinding done at St. Louis.’ ‘You don’t mean to say you send your grist all the way to St. Louis by rail ?’ ‘I didn’t say nothing about grist— ' we hain’t got no grist to send. But we get our flour and meal from,St. B.miisA ‘l’see you have a raw hide in ywr ‘Yes, bur old cow died last week. March nind blowed the life mil'll l<r< hide to Boston to get it “Way to Boston? Is not that flMMMßiensivc ? The freights will ent th# hide up.’ ‘That’s a fact—cleaner than the buzzards did the old critter’s carcass. But what’s the use being taxed to build railroads, without you get the blood of ’em ? Used to have a tan yard over at Lickskillctt, and a shoe maker, too. But they kerflmnmuxcd.’ ‘Kerllummuxcd—what’s that ?’ ‘it means gone up a spout—and twixt you and me that’s mighty nigh the case with our Slate.’ ‘When do you expect to get your leather?’ ‘Don’t expect to get no leather— expect to get shoes, some day, made at Boston or thereabouts.’ ‘Rather a misfortune to lose a milk cow, my friend.’ ‘Not so much of a misfortune, as you heard it was. Monstrous sight of shuckin’ and nubbin’ in a cow, and milkin’ her night and mornin’ and gotten only ’bout three quarts a day.’ ‘What are you going to do for milk?’ ‘Send North for it.’ ‘Send North for milk?’ ‘Yes, concentrated milk and Goshen butter-’ ‘Oh I I see the point.’ ‘-Mighty handy things, these rail roads—make them Yankee fellers do all our jobs for us—do our smithing, grinding, tanning, milking ami churn ing.’ ‘Yes, we go our bottom nickel on cotton. Sending it up to Massachu setts to get carded, spun and wove. Time’ll come when we’ll semi it there to be ginned, and then we’ll be happy. Monstrous sight of trouble running these gins.’ ‘That would be rather expensive— sending cotton in seed.’ ‘No more so than them Western fellers pay when they send corn East am! get a dollar a bushel and pay six bits freight. Besides, as 1 said, what is the use of paying for railroads without we use. the road?’ 'You seem to appreciate the value of railroads.’ ‘I think we ought—we pay enough for ’em.’ ■1 reckon you fatten your own pork ?’ ‘WMLyou reckon wrong, stranger. 1 get them lllinoy tellers to do that for me. It’s mighty convenient, too; mygfa'oua sight of trouble toting a I’OMkel full of corn three times a flay ®hogs in a pen, especially when y ou haiii't got none to tote it to.’ ‘I-sbould think so.’ ‘There's one thing lacking though tojjrake the business < ‘WTat’s that?’ ‘They ought to send the hogs ready cooked. Cooking and preparing wood ’ for cooking, takes up a heap of time that ort by rights to be employed in the cotton patch. I was saying to my oid woman, the other day, if we Mis sissippi folks got our cooking and washing done up North and sent by exmess, we'd be as happy as otlice holders.’ ‘Your horse in the lead there seems to be lame.’ ‘Yes, needs shoeing. If he wasn’t the only horse I've, got, and can’t spare him. I’d send him up where they make the horse shoes and nails and get him shod. Can’t get such a thing done in our parts. Perhaps 1 ; can at the depot.’ ‘How do you manage to live in your i parts, my old friend?’ ‘Why, we raise cotton. My road turns off her, stranger. Gee, Ball, back Brandy, I'm glad 1 seed you, stranger.' A teacher was instructing her class ' in natural history. ll*r subject was the cat. Afterward she proceeded to question her scholars. At last she said to the smallest of her boys, ‘Johnny what does your mother keep a cat for?’ ‘To lay kittens,’was the reply. The questioning came to an abrupt end. A great many men look at them-! selves through" the little end of the world's opera glass, while the world looks at them through the big eud. LAMAR ON THE EXODUS. Senator Lamar, who returned from Mississippi several days ago, was ask ed by the Post, 'Wednesday, about the negro exodus. He said the excite ment among the negroes on the sub ject of emigration had been allayed, but they are kept in a feverish and unsettled condition by parties inter ested in having them leave. Along i the Mississippi river, where the exo- I dus fever raged at first, it has pretty well died out, but in the interior of | the State the subject is still kept alive, I though but few negroes are leaving. “Are any efforts being made to keep the movement going?” asked the Post. “ Yes,” replied the Senator, “men go among the negroes and persuade them that are being abused and robbed r them inducements to go to lUaw®. “Some or tliem are moved by pure cussedness, hatred of the south, and others make money out of the ne groes. Railroad companies having large tracts of land for sale are intcr | est«d in negroes to locate upon it. Iw' poor deluded negro will never be able to pay for the laud he buys, and these men know it, but ,tilt railroad will get the benefit of whatever improvements he makes on the land. Some of them cheat the negroes out of what little money they have. A man recently went through Holmes county selling the negroes flags with which to stake off their land in Kansas. This is an old game, but these poor negroes were deceived by it. He got all the money they had and told them to meet him on a cer tain day at Durant, on the railroad, and he would have there a train to take them to Kansas free of charge, I saw a letter from a citizen of Durant describing the appearance of the town and the scenes on the day named for the free train. The negroes from the country around flocked to the station, and the place was over-crowded with them. Tbay could not. be persuaded that they hail been deceived, but in sisted on waiting for the train.” Senator Lamar said he did not be lieve that there would be anything like a general emigration movement among the negroes; that some would leave, here and there, and others would return from the land of promise. “Should (he negro population leave the State, could labor be procured?” “Yes, sir,” replied Mr. Lamar, “Mississippi would blossom like a rose.” In order to show how superior white labor would prove to colored, Col. Lamar said he had a white man employed on his place six months, and in that short time he had im proved everything under his charge. I’bis man had employed his practical knowledge of farming and made im provements in the "crop and stock that negroes would never think of. Senator Lamar thought that if the negroes were to ‘exodus’ in a body, such valuable white laborers as the one on bis plantation would go into the State to cultivate the land. -< -« The invention of (hat Superior and Complete Sewing Machine (the Fam ily Shuttle Machine), marks one of the most important eras in the history of machinery, and when we consider its great usefulness and extremely low price (*25), it is very difficult to conceive of any invention for domes tic use of more or even equal impor tance to families. It has great ca pacity for work; beautiful, smooth, and quiet movement, rapid execution, certainty of operation, and delightful ease, that at once commends it above all others. The working parts are all steel; the bobbins hold 1(10 yards of thread ; the stitch is the firmest of all the stitches made, neat and regular, and can be regulated in a moment to sew stitches from an inch in length on coarse material down to the finest, so infinitesimal as to be hardly dis cernable with the naked eye, and with a rapidity rendering it impossi ble to count them as fast as made; it does to perfection all kinds of heavy, coarse, plain, fine, or fancy needlc ; work with ease, ami far less labor tluui, required on other machines. It needs no Wbtnmendation, the rapid sales, increasing demand, and volun tary encomiums from the press, and the thousands of families who use them, amply testify to their undoubt ed worth as a standard and reliable household necessity, extending its popularity each day".
