AGBIGULTTJBF. What Lasi* Need Dbaihao*?—AU lands that contain more water than is 4 needed by the crops growing upon them. If yon intend to raise corn or wheat the land will need more draining than if intended for grass. Even grass lands need not be very wet, as, if too wet, the grovtn of aquatic plants and grasses take the place of the cul tivated grasses and ruins the hay and pas tores. Loose, porous soils,underlaid by sand or gravel, are drained by nature; bnt all land that is underlaid by day, rock or other impervious material needs draining. What is to be gained by underdrain- age? The surface of the water in tbe soil is lowered. The roots of cereals and grasses may penetrate as far as to the surface of the water, but never into it. It is necessary to draw the water oft to snob a depth as will give the roots of growing crops plenty of room, to reach downward for that nourishment that is neoessary to their growth. If the water is only one foot from the amount of soil from which to gather nourishment, with the disadvantage of having their feet wet by capillary atteactiqpY Only aqfiap tie plants grow well with their feet in the water. The lowering the water below the snrfaoe prevents a large amount _ of evaporation, and its effects in cooling the soil. The water being removed, air and warmth are admitted to the soil. Drained lands are, for this reason, ready far planting at least two weeks earlier in die spring. The growth of crops is quickened through the summer by the increased temperature of the soil, which amounts to several degrees, and the injurious effects of early frosts are prevented in the same manner. Crops are, therefore,given an increased period in which to make their growth of at least two weeks. ..This is certainly a very c- important gain. Dibbolv* sufficient permanganate of potash in iwfHiiff water to give the re quired depth of color. It looks red when first put on, but soon becomes a beautiful brown.

Out-of-door pigs would uot show so well at the fain, and would probably be passed over by the judges and people who hove been taught to admier only fat and helpless things, which get the prizes. Such pigs are well adapted to fill lard kegs, whereas the standard oi perfection should be a pig which will make the most ham with the least waste of fat, the longest and deepest sides, with the most lean meat. It should have bone enough to stand up and help itself to food, and carry with it the evidences of health and natural development in all of its parts. Pigs which run on a range of pasture have good appetites—the fresh air and exercise gives them this— hence they will eat a great variety oi food, and much coarser than when con fined in pens. Nothing need go-to waste'on a farm for need of a market. They will consume all the refuse fruit, roots, pumpkins and all kinds of vege tables, which will make them grow. By extending the root patch and planting tbe fodder com thinner, so that nub bins will form on it, by putting in a sweet variety, the number of pigs may be inoreased in proportion. The pig- pasture will be ready the next year for any crop, and ten times tbe advantages accrue to the farmer than if the pigs are confined to close pens, for, as pigs are usually managed on a farm, bnt little manure is ever made fiom them. Bean's as Food.—The nutritive value of beaus is very great—greater than almost any other article of food in com mon use. Considering their richness, they are probably the oheapest food we have, bnt somewhat difficult of digee- turn, probably owing to the fact that we There is a . rarely cook them enough and masticate movement, insufficiently. In preparing beans for the table they should first be well soaked in oold water, then thrown into boiling water and oooked of a medium consistency, between a fluid and a solid, neither too thick nor too thin. They require some acid when eaten, and a sufficient amount of salt to render them palatable. They may be eaten with potatoes or other vegetables which oon- ;ain more starch and less albumen, rather than with too much bread or meat. A widely accepted but very errone ous belief whieh is a cause of much loss during summer heats, is the fear that if plants are watered while the sun shines upon the leaves it will harm them. There may be some tender young leaves of certain delicate and rare plants that would suffer from a sudden wetting with oold water under a blazing sun but I have not met with such in vegetable culture, and I have long practiced fre quent sprinkling of newly-set plants during hot,dry weather to prevent their beginning to wilt. If allowed to wilt at all it is difficult to revive them. The short or broken roots want little water until their wounds are healed, and they become able to collect and send on sup plies to the leaves. Daring this term of trial what is wanted is frequent sprinkling of the leaves to prevent their flagging. A mere sprinkle serves that purpose if often enough given, without drowning the Injured roots. Two great advantages are gained by frequent leaf wetting—four or five times a day in hot, dry weather, during two or three days alter transplanting—one that the plant ing can be done while the ground is dry and pliable, when it will not pack, and the other that the leaves can all be left on the plant instead of befog half out off, as is commonly done in planting cabbage, celery, etc., to reduce the transpiratory surface until the roots cover. Such cutting is a great draw back to the plant, and can only be jus tified when there is no other practicable way of saving or continuing its life. Pice Up the Bones —The bones scat tered about the promisee should be carefully gathered up. Break them up and bury them near the roots of fruit trees or grapevines. If the bodies of half the worthless dogs owned in the country could be similarly planted they would be of much more service than their animated carcasses are above ground. It costs so much to test different va rieties of fruits, especially those that are long in coming into bearing, that average farmers cannot afford to do mueh of it. The safe rule is to plant the sorts that have been found produc tive and good, and only adopt novelties an tbe assurance of nurserymen in whom the bnyer has implicit confi dence. A little salt sprinkled over a manure heap is one of the best applications both for summer and winter. In warm weath er it attracts moisture and keeps the manure from fire-fanging or burning from excessive fermentation. In winter it keeps the heap from freezing solid,and at any season it makes the manure more soluble. A coebespondent of the Ohio Far mer says a strong steel-bladed case- knife m kes one of the most simple, light, cheap and excellent weeding too's, Poisonous washes applied to the fo liage of trees, vines, etc., are of no avail against those insects which snek the juices of plants instead of eating the leaves or buds. Fnurr men say that the best way to treat trees infested with borers is to re move the earth about the base of the trunk. Fill np the hollow after freezing weather is well under way. The soil has much to do in affecting the shading and color of poultry, and it is a point that is seldom taken into careful consideration, though its impor tance is oonoeded by few.* Soeohlm, after befog cut, deterior ates very rapidly. It should not be al lowed to remain more than one day be fore befog worked, and less than that is preferable. Snowball Pudding.—Take two tea cupfuls of rice, wash and boil until tender: pare and core large soar ap ples, leaving the apple whole. Fill the apples with rice and put it round on the outside; tie each one in a separate and drop in boiling water, while hot with cream and sugar: Dornsna Johnnie was in the street-oar yester day with his mother, sad next to him sat a very nice looking young man.

Busk Beds.—A correspondent Bays the way to make a husk bed is to put the husks into plenty of water and spread litem on the grass to dry, first spreading sheets on the grass, todfoe; away the insects, ete., if possible. When the husks are dry, draw them through a flax hatchet, or with a fork split them several times to make them softer. Then fill into a bed tick. Don’t put in enough to be -hard, bnt make a good, comfortable bed. Have a slit in the centre of the bed tick, and every day stir the husks up. A button and batten hole in the bed tick will make all secure and if yon wash or scald the husks every few years, they will keep sweet, and yon will have a cheap and comfortable bed. Lovelt little wrape for the baby Car riage are made of two pieces of flannel —one, for instance, of bine, and one of white; pink the edges of both. If the bine is to serve for a lining, pnt a pret ty design in outline stitch on it, and then catch the bine and whits together with a row of leather stitch ing about two inches from tbe edge. If yon wish to make it still more ornamental, a handsome bow of bine Batin ribbon juBt above the em broidery is handsome. How long it will remain so depends on how well- behaved the baby Is, Grange Float.—One quart of water, juice and pnlp of two lemons, one cof fee oup'oi sugar; when boiling add to this four tablespoons of com-starob, mixed in a little odd water; stir until it boils, and let boil for ten minntes; when cool, pour it over four or five sliced oranges; oyer the top spread the beaten whites of three eggs and one- half cup of powdered sugar, flavored with one teaspoonful of extract vanilla. Succotash.- Take the lmsks and silk from one-half dozen ears of sugar corn and with a sharp knife cat the kernels from the oob. Place on the fire one pint of Lima beans, with sufficient water to cover them, one hour before needed for dinner; let them simmer slowly for three-quarters of an hour, then add corn and boil fifteen minutes; season with butter, pepper and salt, and send to table hot. Milk may be used instead of water if preferred. Potatoes with Vebmicllii.—Mash and whip the potatoes light with but ter and milk.

" Cement fob Hubbeb.—Powdered she- lao is softened in ten times its weight of strong water of ammonia, which be comes a fluid after some time without the use of hot water. In three or four weeks the mixture is a perfect liquid. When applied it softens the rubber, which hardens again as the ammonia evaporates. Moths nr Fubnitubb.—Moths may be exterminated or driven from uphol stered work br sprinkling the uphol stered parts thoroughly with benzine. The benzine is pnt in small watering- pots, snoh as is used for sprinkling house-plants. It does not spot the most delicate silk, and the unpleasant odor passes off in an hour or two in the air. It will prove effectual, so far as the moth is concerned. An American wno naa a jolly German friend wished to beeome acquainted with the German’s charming wife: 'Veil,” said the German, “ofe yon dreat, dot vill be all righdtl” After the treat the German led him over to where the lady was sitting with a number of friends. “Katrina,” said the husband, “yon know dot man?” “No,” said Katrina modestly. “Veil, dot’s him!” The American would have* given all he had to be able to suddenly disappear, but as the earth did not open Jie only looked very red and awkward, and swore in his mind that he vff^ld never seek- ano htrodnetfon.

Peach Cream.—The stones and skins are removed from veiy ripe peaches, which are then passed through a hair sieve. To each cupful of pnlp add a cup of pnlverized sugar, and beat to gether. Whip a cupful of sweet thick cream for each cupful of pnlp, mix gently together and pnt in a freezer to freeze. Ants.—A correspondent of the Tropical Agriculturist says, regarding the destruction of ants: “Take a white ohfoa plate, and spread a thin covering of common lard over it. Place it on the shelf or other place infested by the troublesome insects. Ton will be pleased with the result, tittering np every morning is that all that is needed to set the trap agun.” Crullers.—Four tablespoons of mel ted batter, five of sugar, eleven of sweet milk, two eggs, one-half teaspoon each of soda, nutmeg and cinnamon; out in strands, twist in rings and by in boding lard.

Consumption in its early stages is readily cored by the use of Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery,” though, If the lungs are wasted no medicine will effect a cure. No known remedy poesesses such soothing and healing influence over all scrofulous, tuberculous, and pulmonary affections as the “Discovery.” John Willis, of Elyria, Ohio, writes:' “The -Golden Medical Dis covery” does positively cure consumption, aa, after trying every other medicine in vain, this succeeded.” Mr. Z.

In discussing a paper upon tbs Neath Atlantic area, which, in the opinion of Professor Hull, was dry land when the regions of North America and those of Great Britain and Western Europe were submerged, Dr. Carpenter said that the oooelnaion he had eome to from tbe Challenger expedition was that the bulk of the sea below the present sea level waa to the bulk of the land somewhere about 89 to 1. He thought, taking the elevation or the different contineata al together; an elevation of 1000 feeflMgbt be considered as about the average. On the other hand, the depression of the great ooeanta area below the level of the sea might be stated at aa average of about 13,000 feet The elevations of land which in any way approached the mim height were ridges, and one of the most remarkable facta brought out by the Challenger research was that there waa strong reason to believe that all oceanic Manila were volcanic, in all ttiwir researches they found no indication of .submerged land aver these areas.

My mother, who is seventy-six years of age, has for over thirty years been afflicted with kidney, liver and heart diseases, which has confined her to the house most of the time; and to add to her other troubles, about three years ago dropsy in its worst form set in. We had three doctors, who did all they could for her with but little success, as she grew rapidly worse, and death seemed inevitable. At times her body and limbs would be swollen nearly twice their usual size. Her physicians gave her up, saying they could do nothing more lor her. She was also given up by her friends. Having heard of the great amount of good Hunt's Remedy had accomplished, and of the remarkable cures it had made in similar cases, we thought as a last hope we would try it, and to the great astonishment of os all (doctors included) she began to im prove, and in a very short time the swellings Itft her entire tody; the many aches and pains from which she suffered she knows no more. She has walked ont this summer for the first time in years, and is as comfortable as can tune in yeara and is as comfortable ae can he expected for a woman of her years. We all foei that we owe mnch to God's mercy and Hunt*a Remedy." The Motives are better then fiction*.

A hard-hearted political economist, looking at a pale and puny child feebly gasping as it lies upon a pillow, says that the child might as well die. It is so weak and poor that its life will never be worth much anyhowl There are already a good many people in the world who are of not much account anyhow. And what’s the use of adding to their number another weakling, who has but slender chance of ever amounting to anything? Now ask that child’s mother what she thinks about letting the child die: About thi3 time the hard political economist had better get out of the way. "Let my child diet Not No l' As long as there is a remedy to be found that will save that child, the child shall not diet, ril spend my last dollar to save the childWell, try a bottle of Brown’s Iron Bitters on that child.
