FARM NOTES. Oatmeal for Horsics. —One of the best things in the world to give a horse, after he has l>een driven, is a quart of oatmeal stirred in a pail of water. It refreshes and strengthens him, relieves his immediate thirst, and preparas his stomach for more solid food. So says Joseph Harris, after twenty years’ trial of it. Mb. Hyde remarks in the New York Times , that if one wishes to cultivate Ins farm like a market garden, it may pay to plow in the coarse manure and harrow in the fine, but as a rule he would recommend the application of the ma nure to the surface of the soil. This is nature’s method, and is the most suc cessful for common practice. Crowding Fowls. —Poultry require plenty of house room, for crow ding them on their roosts, or having illy built, di lapidated or damp houses is conducive to disease. If, on account of breeding more than one variety, because you have lim ited ground, or because you have fruits and vegetables you wish to keep the birds from, you have to keep the fowls in restricted quarters, by all means give them all the exercise room you possibly can, and tliero is far more danger of giving them too little than too much. Mr. J. 8. Woodward discourses in a late New York Tribune upon the care of stock during winter. He thinks that any man who lets his cattle stand shiver ing in the lee of a straw-stack, or old fence, or under an open shed, should be tied in the same place and be compelled to stay one night with the thermometer at zero and the snow flying thick and fast about him; if this does not convince him of the necessity of good warm stables, he is not fit to bo called by the noble name of farmer, and the quicker he gets out of the business the better for it and himself. The Difference. —From actual ex periments made, it is demonstrated be yond a doubt, that the grinding of grain adds one-tliird to its value for feeding purposes. This is a matter of a good deal of importance to the agricultural community, and in fact to all classes who liavo animals to feed. As far as dollars are concerned, perhaps it is not of so much moment in the Northwest, where grain is so cheap and so plenty, as it is iu other portions of the country, where loss grain is raised, but it is worthy of the consideration of those who have not full bins of oats and corn. Since the in troduction of cheap feed-mills, it is the province of every farmer to own one, with which all grain intended for the stock on the farm could be ground. Measuring Corn. —A number of rules for measuring corn have been published. Asa multiplicity of rules tend to con fuse, the question arises, why can we not have one good rule ? The reason is ob vious. New corn will not measure as many bushels to the foot or inches as old corn, on account of shrinkage. A crib of corn measured in the fall will not yield as many bushels to the cubic foot as when measured in the spring or sum mer. Corn in wagon, when first put in, will not measure as much to the foot as when hauled several miles. Hence the necessity of working by different rules under different circumstances. All rules are based upon the number of cubic inches in a bushel of shelled corn, which is 2150.4. If all corn shelled out the same, under all circumstances, it would 1)0 very easy to have one rule. As near right ns any rule I have tried is twelve cubic feet to the barrel for corn in crib in the fall of the year, eleven and a half feet in spring time, and about eleven feet in summer; twelve feet as thrown in wagon in the field and eleven and a quarter hauled four or five miles. Small Farms. —The French people have more ready cash in individual pos session than any other nation in the world. It is not the wealth of a nation that makes the people rich, but the gen eral diffusion of wealth. This is the case in France. The French are a na tion of small farmers. There are more land-owners in that country than in America. The farms are small; the majority are under twenty acres, and a very large number under ten. It may not be that is the only reason for the money wealth of these people; they are notably economical and thrifty. But the small farms have something to do with it. The farmers in some of the eastern counties of Pennsylvania, where the farms are comparatively small, could well compete with the Prencli in their possession of money wealth. Almost every farmer has his hoard invested. These men have a habit of feeding a few head of beef cattle or a flock of sheep every winter. They sell little grain but wheat, and feed their fodder and coarse grain to purchased stock. They make more profit to the head of stock than is made upon large grazing farms, and their land is rich and high-priced, be cause of the large quantity of manure that is made iu feeding stock. The con sumption of meat is continually increas ing, and with the extension of manufac tures there are more mouths to till every year, so that it is not probable the sup ply can ever become excessive. Some Items in Farm Economy. —The arrangements of the buildings and the division of the farm into fields depends so much upon the character of the farm, the kind of farming, individual taste, etc., that it is out of the question to have a fixed plan that is the best one for all farms of any given size. There are cer tain general principles which should serve as a foundation for the arrange ment, bnt the details must necessarily vary greatly. For example, if possible the bams should be upon a rise of ground where a cellar can be built open ing to the lower ground at the rear. The fields should be so arranged that there should be as little fencing as possible. and so located that all fields can be easily reached from the lane. A long field has considerable advantage over one of the same area that is square—iu the longer “bouts,” and therefore less time spent in turning, plowing, harrowing, sowing, harvesting, etc. A pasture close to the stable is always handy, and other things being, equal, the orchard should not l>e put at the rear of the farm, where the wood lot had best be located There is touch labor to be saved in having every thing so placed—and this applies to the various details that seem trivial at first that there will be no extra steps or turns in doing tho every-day work of the farm. For example, many day’s work can be saved by haring the pump in a handy comer of the barn-yarn, where the stock from a number of yards may come to the troughs. If the mat ters of the farm are not already econom ically arranged, it would lie well to make such changes of fences, buildings, etc., as to finally secure the desired end. By degrees the thoughtful farmer will im prove his farm until it approximates to o model and therefore an economical farm. HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS. Every closet and room in a house should be thoroughly inspected once a week. Newly ground flour which lias nevei been packed is very superior to barrel flour. In roasting meat do not salt before putting in the oven as salt extracts the juice. 3 In warm weather put your eggs in cold water some time before you are ready to use them. Demons may be kept fresh a long time in a jar of water; changing the water every morning. A true test for eggs is to drop them in water, and if the large end comes up they are not fresh. Hams wrapped in thick brown paper and packed in a barrel of wood ashes in the cellar will keep all summer. To test nutmegs prick them with a pin, and if they are good the oil will in stantly spread around the punctures. Bar soap when first bought should be cut in square pieces and put in a dry place. It lasts better after shrinking. All fish skin should be washed, dried thoroughly, cut in small bits and put in a box or paper bag, to use in settling coffee. New Orleans or other good brown sugar is best for raised fruits and wed ding cakes. It should be coarse-grained and clean. Always prepare Sunday’s dinner on Saturday if possible, that domestics may enjoy the Sabbath day privileges as well as you. The small white sago called pearl is the best. The large brown kind has an earthy taste. It should always be kept in a covered jar or box. Salt cod should be kept in a dry place where the odor of it will not pene trate to other parts of the house. The best kind is that which is called dun, from its peculiar color. Molasses Cup Cake. —Two cups mo lasses, two cups butter, one cup milk, a teaspoonful soda, the same of lemon, half a nutmeg and tAvo eggs; beat well and bake in quick oveu. Elephant on Toast. —Take cold meat and put on the fire in a stewpan with a little water. When tender, take it up and mince very fine; then put it back and flavor with pepper and salt. Make some toast, butter each slice, and spread: the mince over each piece; then pour the gravy over it. Serve hot. Oilcloth. —Mrs. Henry Ward Beech er, in giving some of the results of her housekeeping experience, remarks that neither soap, hot water nor brush should, ever be used on oilcloth. It should al-j ways be washed in lukewarm water with! a piece of soft old flannel and wiped per fectly dry each time. And the appear ance of the cloth, Mrs. Beecher declares, is greatly improved by using half milk and half water, [skimmilk, if not sour,! being just as good as new milk. Cooking Beets. —One of the mostj satisfactory ways to cook beets is to bake them. When boiled, even if their jack- 1 ets are left on, a great deal of the best part of the beets is dissolved, and so lost.! It will, of course, take a little longer to! bake than to boil them; but this is no; objection. Allow from fifteen to teventy minutes more for baking; slice them,; and heat as you would if they Avere! boiled. After they are cooked, season with pepper, salt, butter, and a squeeze of lemou. [Milwaukee Sentinel.] That Avonderful remedy for rheuma tism, St. Jacobs Oil, has been used by a large number of people in this city, and with effect truly marvelous. Frequent reports are made where sufferers have been afforded relief, and the sale is grow ing largely. The fact that it is an ex ternal remedy, commends it t > many who Avould not otherwise think of going out of the beaten track to find a remedy. She had sued for breach of promise, and the verdict of the jury was against her. “Want to poll the jury?” said the judge, formally. “Yes, Ido. Jes’ gimme the poll for two minutes;” and she had thrown oft’ her sun-bonnet and expect orated on the palms of her hands before the legal phrase could be explained by her counsel. [lndianapolis Daily Sentinel.] No More Gossip. If we are correctly informed, St Ja cobs Oil is now the usual tea-party topic in place of the former staple—free gos sip. How wise and how much more ben eficial. A colored railroad passenger in Ohio refused, for a long time, to give up his ticket to the oonductor, protesting that he had paid his fare ‘ ‘at that other place down thar.” and that the ticket was his receipt for the money.

Wm BITS OF INFORMATION. The first census of the United States was taken in 1790. The population was 3,929,328. Mezzo-tinto engraving was invented by the celebrated soldier and Admiral, Prince Rupert, in 1650. Chaucer was a courtier and diplo matist as well as a poet. He was sent to Fiance and Italy in the capacity of his King’s representative. The Egyptian obelisk, now in New York city, was originally set up in Heli opolis. Herodotus speaks of two obe lisks (one of which is the New York one) at Alexandria, and Rawlinson fixes the date of tlieir removal from Heliopo lis at 1463 B. C. According to that, their age is 3,043 years. The companion obelisk is in London, England. What is knoivn as cut glass is glass with incisions and ornaments with smooth surfaces, appearing as if cut by a sharp instrument. The cutting of the glass consists entirely in grinding away successive portions by holding them upon the surface of wheels of stone, metal, and wood, which are made to revolve rapidly. The first or rough cutting is sometimes given by wheels of stone, resembling grindstones. After- Avard wheels of iron are used, having their edges covered with sharp sand or with emery. To prevent heat by fric ti< n small streams of water are applied. The last polish is given by brush. The size of some of the largest churches in Europe is slioivn by their seating capacities, as follows : St. Pe ter’s Church at Rome will hold 54,000 persons ; Milan Cathedral, 7,000 ; St. Paul’s, at Rome, 32,000; St. Paul’s, at London, 35,000 ; St. Petronio, at Bo logna, 24,000; Florence Cathedral, 24,- 300; Antwerp Cathedral, 24,000; St. Sophia’s, Constantinople, 23,000; St. John Lateran, 22,900; Notre Dame, at Paris, 20,000; Pisa Cathedral, 13,000; St. Stephen’s, at Vienna, 12,400; St. Dominic’s, at Bologna, 12,000 ; St. Pe ter’s, at Bologna, 11,500; Cathedral of Vienna, 11,000; St. Mark’s, Venice, 7,000; Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, 7,000. Very few American churches have a seating capacity of over 1,500, In case of a gentleman wishing to marry, literally in the market with his heart, he wears a plain or chased gold ring upon the forefinger of the left (or heart) hand. When success at tends his suit and he is actu ally engaged, the ring passes to the third linger. If, however, the gentle man desires to tell the fair ones that he not only is not “ in the market,” but he does not design to marry at all, he wears the signet upon his little finger, and all ladies may understand that he is out of tlieir reach. With the fair sex the “ laws of the ring” are : A plain or chased ring on little linger of the right hand indi cates “ not engaged,” or, in plain words, “ ready for proposals, sealed or other- Aviso.”" When engaged the ring passes to the first finger of the left hand. When married the third finger receives it. If the fair one proposes to defy all siege to her heart she places rings -on her first and fourth fingers—one on each —like two charms, to keep away the tempter. It is somewhat singular that this disposition of rings is rare. Answer This. Hid you ever know any person to he ill without inaction of the Stomach, Liver oi kidneys, or did you ever know one who was well when either was ob structed or inactive ; and did you ever know or hear of any case of the kind that Hop Bitters would not cure. Ask your neighbor this same question.—Times. Book Stealing. Aristotle, observes the Saturday Re view, drew a distinction between the man who steals books to sell them again for mere pecuniary profit (which he would call “clirematistic,” or “unnatu ral,” book stealing) and the man who steals them because he feels that he is their natural and proper possessor. The same distinction is taken by Jules Ja niu, who was a more constant student of Horace than of Aristotle. In liis imagi nary dialogue of bibliophiles Janin intro duces a character who announces the death of M. Libia. The tolerant person who brings the sad news proposes “to cast a few flowers on the melancholy tomb. He was bibliophile, after all. What do you think of it? Many a good fellow' lias stolen books and died in grace after all.” “Yes,” replied the President of the club, “but the good fellow's did not settle for the books they stole.” Some persons are so thriftless they would convert a garden into a desert, while others possess the energy to make the desert blossom like the rose. Dr. Tabler ranks with the latter class of public benefactors, because he prepares out of the common Buckeye a superior ointment to cure Piles. Price 50c. For sale by all druggists.

D. r BULL’S COtIEH SYRUP L - - - - ‘ - p iso's en i EsarKifLsr.: A Big Find. Ezelot, a French soldier, was walking through the Paris railway station w itb two comrades, when they noticed on the floor a packet wrapped in a newspaper. They kicked it along before them for some distance, and when Ezelot was get ting into the train, going home on short leave, one of his comrades, picking up the packet, thrust it into the canvas for age bag slung at his side, Ezelot going on his way without having perceived the little pleasantry. Arrived at Neuilly, where his parents lived, his mother, emptying the forage bag, discovered the bundle, and, think ing it was a packet of newspapers, put it on a table in the kitchen. There it re mained for four or five days, till a mar ried sister, calling in and seeing the packet, was moved by unwonted curios ity. Opening it she discovered docu ments representing the £26,000, the loss of which M. Pages a rich man of Paris, had advertised throughout Europe. The European papers are not, however, read at Neuilly. The soldier and his parents, not knowing what else to do, followed the provincial Frenchman’s instinct and had recourse to the maire. That func tionary, communicating with Paris, speedily brought down M. Pages, who, gratefully paying the promised reward of £I,OOO, wmt off with his oddly recovered treasure. Thread from Wood. The manufacture of thread from wood for crochet and sewing purposes has, it is said, been started in Sweden. The manufacture has arrived at such a state of perfection that it can produce, at a much lower price, thread of as fine quality as Clark’s, and has from this cir cumstance been called thread “ ala Clark. ” It is wound in balls by ma chinery, either by hand or steam, which, with the labeling, takes one minute twelve seconds, and the balls are packed up in cardboard boxes, generally ten in a box. Plenty of orders from all parts of Sweden have come in, but as the works are not yet in proper order there has hardly been time to complete them all. The pi oduction gives fair promise of success, and it is expected to be very important for home consumption. Scientific American. Mexican Palis. The Mexicans are notoriously fond of dancing, and will neglect almost any thing else to attend a baile or ball. Many American dances have been intro duced, but the amusement, instead of being indulged in in a wild and unre strained manner, is conducted with great decorum. The ladies all sit on one side of the ball-room and the gentlemen on the other, and when the music be gins the young men walk out into the middle of the floor and beckon with their fingers to the young ladies whom they desire for partners. At the close of the dance the ladies return to their side of the room and the gentlemen to their own. The waltz of modern society and other fashionable dances in the East would be considered immodest in a Santa Fe baile, and would not be tolerated. Vegetine WILL CDREiEHEDMATISM. MR.
