FARM NOTES. < Cuthbkrt.— “This variety of raspberry has done so well with me that I think it worthy of general cultivation. It is the most vigorous plant of any red raspberry I have ever cultivated.”— M. Palmer,. Ohio. Raising Onion Seep. —“To raise seed I select some of the smallest bulbs of the spring crop and set them out either in October or January in rich, mellow soil. In the spring I keep them free from weeds and draw the earth up about them to keep them erect. In April they begin to throw up their seed stalks. The seed ripens in July.”— C. ./. Rogers, Terrell, Tertis. Peabodyßranching Corn.—“l planted a little of this variety May 17, one grain in a hill, two feet apart in row on new ground, rich, sandy loam. Greatest number of ears produced from one grain, 11; greatest number of grains produced from one grain, 3,978; average number of ears per stalk, 3 b Quality of com not above medium. Ears usually ten rowed and, aside from culls, average about 450 grains each.” —Asa Pirn, Rochester. O. Ears op Wheat on an Acre. —ln answer to a question the agricultural editor of the New York Times says tlmt the usual number of ears of wheat grown upon an acre of ground is about 1,250,- 000, and this number varies biU little, whatever quantity of seed is sown. Maj. Halles, an English seed-grower, who has produced some excellent varieties of wheat, gives the following statement on this point. Heed sown per aero, Ears on a Ears on an Bushel, square yard. acre. 1 263 1.272,200 2 283 1,307,920 i 2 .• 265 1,282,600 2 270 1,306,800 3 269 1,301,860 Lice on Stock.—A number of letters ask for remedies for lousy stock. Ver min of some kind very frequently infest domestic animals; they are mostly of the louse type—small parasitic animals that must be removed by the application of some insecticide. A number of substan ces have been used to greater or less ex tent, of which a few are mentioned be low: One pound of tobacco and six ounces of borax boiled ill two quarts of water, to which soft soap is added to make a thick paste, has proved a vermin salve. A mixture of carbolic acid and soft soap in the proportion of one to foul makes a compound easy to apply and very effectual. Shortly after the parts to which the soap mixture has been ap plied should be washed with pure water and a non-drying oil rubbed on. Oil of turpentine, and lard oil, equal parts, with a little carbolic acid, is perhaps the most convenient mixture to make, and effect ual in its application. Animals that are affected with vermin need better care and higher feeding in order to overcome the drain that these parasites make upon the system. Exchange. Cutting and Grinding Fodder, — While some Tgo so far as to claim that it pays to grind straw to a fine powder, others affirm that for beef cattle it does not pay even to cut any fodder. Cattle are fully provided by nature with means for masticating their ordinary food, and we need not bo surpised to find that both ordinary experience and careful eV', T-la ments agree in showing that little it ~liyt hing is gained my cutting. In fact it appears from some experiments that positive damage is done, as the fodder is not so thoroughly chewed and impreg nated with saliva, a portion even passing at once into the second stomach. Cut ting alone can do but little gcod, even with old hard-stalked fodder, without the softening produced by cooking, for it cannot open the fodder to digestive action, uor save much labor of mastica tion. By far the greater part of this is expended on chewing the cud, and it is best that the animal should perform this entirely natural operation for itself. Profit able Farming. —Among the influences contributing largely to render farming profitable in the Middle and Western States, besides that of cheap transit by railroad, perhaps the most im portant are the rapid multiplication of grist mills, grain elevators, butter fac tories, cheese factories, canning factories, cider mills and similar industrial works. Of these the grain elevator may be said to have originated in the West, And though these establishments are often spoken of as centralizing in the great cities, they really exist at every import ant village or town along the lilies of the railways in the grain-growing States. At these elevators the farmers from the whole surrounding country obtain good cash prices for their grain, and this is the influence that renders the ascendency of the grain interest in the West per manent. The operation of grist mills, cider mills, butter factories, cheese fac tories and canning factories is very simi lar in rendering profitable dairy farming, the production of fresh vegetables and fruits, orchard farming, etc. The in fluence of this is seen in the magnitude of the dairy interest iu consequence of the large number of butter and cheese factories iu successful operation in the {States. The canning interest flourishes at the present time over a wide extent of country in the New England, Middle and Western States. These are the agencies that chiefly contribute to increase the agricultural wealth of the North and West. Secret of Large Crops in England. —One of the strong points in English farming was emphasized as follows by Professor Roberts, of Cornell University: “Herein,” he says, “I am satisfied, lies the secret of England’s success in raising larger crops. It would take away the breath of a prairie farmer to hear even an Englishman’s enumeration of the ‘spuddings,’ the ‘grabbings,’ the Switchings, ’ the harrowings, the eross harrowings, the rollings and crushings that a heavy clay field is subjected to be fore it is considered ready for wheat. What is all this for? Simply to unlock the full store-house of Nature. That it is full has been proven time and again. By actual analysis it is found that an average of soil contains, in the first six inches, plant food enough for from fifty to 150 full crops of grain. I do not de sire to discourage the purchase aud use of fertilizers, but what I do protest against is, purchasing on time commer cial manures at §4O per ton, which are really worth only §25, to enrich cloddv fields already fairly rich in plant-food, locked up, it is true, but there none the less, only waiting a little judicious ap plication of brain and muecle to set it free. If these hastily jotted facts and impressions are the means tf inducing my fellow-farmers to remove some of the useless trees and fences, or to give the fields an additional cross-harrowing or two before casting in the seed and asking the Lord to bless the labor of their hands, my object will have been at tained.” HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS. Bread from Grown Wheat. —Scald the flower when making sponge and let cool before adding yeast. Knead the dough a little stiffer than for good flour. Roasting Chestnuts.— Cut a small piece off from each shell—just enough to show the meat—and put a cupful into a corn-popper. Shake over a clear fire until they become mealy. Lemon Bread Pudding. —One pint of fine bread crumbs, yelks of four eggs, one quart of rich milk, two tablespoon fuls of melted butter and one cup of sugar. Flavor with lemon. Cover and bake about one-half hour. Beat the four whites to a stiff froth, mix with it a tea cupful of powdered sugar and the juice of a lemon. Spread over the pudding and return until slightly tinged. Apple and Bread Pudding.— Put a layer of apple sauce in the bottom of a pudding dish, then a layer of bread crumbs, sprinkle with sugar and little bits of butter. Another layer of apples and a second layer of bread crumbs are added with sugar and butter, and a cup of rich milk to w r et the top layer of crumbs. Bake in a good oven three-quarters of an hour. Eat with sweetened cream. Flavor with nutmeg. Mutton Hams.— Allow one-quarter of a pound of saltpeter to half a pound of sugar. Put into an oven to heat, and while hot rub thoroughly into the leers of mutton. In the morning rub well with common salt. Place something under the mutton to raise it from the drippings. Let stand three or four days, then give another thorough rub bing with salt, and after a week hang up to dry. You may smoke them, if you please. When dry, keep in canvas bags. Hard Soap Made With Washing Soda. —Poi;v five gallons of boiling water over six pounds of -washing soda and three pounds of unslacked lime. After it settles and becomes clear, pour off. You may turn over it two gallons of clear cold water, to be added from time to time as the soap is in danger of boiling over. To five gallons of soda and lime water &<ld six pounds of per fectly clean fat and boil about two and a half hours, or until it begins to harden. Throw' in a handful of salt just before taking from the fire. Pour into a tub and let stand until solid. To Prepare Hulled Corn.— Take about three quarts of w r ood ashes, put into a large kettle, and pour over six quarts of cold water. Let come to the boiling point and boil five minutes, skimming several times. Take from the fire and pour in a kettle of cold w r ater to help settle it. Put three quarts of shelled corn into another kettle and pour over the strained lye. Now let boil half an hour, then skim out the corn and rinse well with several waters, rubbing with the hands until the black chits come oil’. Put back into the kettle with clear water and boil until soft. Salt and eat with milk, or butter, pepper, and salt . Curing Hams.—l have used the fol lowing for a long time for my hams and think it preferable to putting the liams into brine, for I think brine has a ten dency to make lean meat hard and taste less. For a common-sized liam take one ounce saltpeter and enough fine salt to rub the ham twice. After rubbing the hams thoroughly lay them in a cask with a hole in the bottom, or anywhere, so that the brine may run off. After one w eek, take up and rub on remainder of salt aud saltpeter. After a week or ten days longer, take up and rub over with salt alone. After another w T eek they are ready to smoke.— Cor. ’ Rural New 1 o i 'he r. __ POPULAR SCIENCE. It is proposed by Dr. Oppermann to construct roads in this way: First, a bed six to eight inches thick of coarse be ton with hydraulic mortar, is laid down, and then on the top of this-bed a thin ner layer of smaller beton, cemented with a mixture of lime and one-half part of Portland cement or Boulogne cement, and one-half part of slag. Friction tapers are made in England from a mixtuie of one ounce saltpetre, one-half ounce powdered orris root, one eighth ounce minium, and one ounce phosphorus ; on the latter being dis solved one or two ounces of castor oil are added, the quantity variyng accord ing to the result ant tenacity or flexibili ty required. The Consolidated railroad is building at its shops in New Haven, Ct., anew palace car, in which there is a device for keeping out the smoke, dust, and cin ders that come in at an open window. It consists of an extra outer window, shaped somewhat like a curved bay win dow, in which the glass is only half the width of the window, and slides up and down. When pushed to the front side it presents a curved surface against which the cinders and smoke strike and are thrown outward, while air can enter from the open half. The effects of professions and trades on mortality are great, the term of life varying from 65 years 11 months for clergymen to 40 years 10 months for lithographers and copper engravers. In England, according to the census-office statistics, the duration of life has been found most defective among the steel workers, polishers, and grinders ; and next to these the life of the collier—that fearless delver in the bowels of the earth —is least secure, owing greatly, no doubt, to the occurrence of accidents in the mines. In a memoir published at Christiana Herr Sophus Tromboldt considers that it may be accepted as certain that the aurora borealis is a local phenomena, circumscribed by very narrow limits, and occurring not far from the surface of the earth. The light, he finds from a careful comparison of a large number of observations, is generally white, though sometimes red or green; but further north than Bergen the aurora often pre sents spectral colors. He believes, also, that there is now evidence enough to ac cept the statement that auroral displays are sometimes attended with sound. Some late inventions ought to be able to set this last alleged fact beyond dispute. How Famous Writers Work. It is curious to recall the manner in which “The Great” seek inspiration and liow they work. M. Alexandre Dumas, fils, is a morn ing -worker ; the dawm finds him already up. He salutes her with a genial coun tenance. His habitual good humor proves that his health and his mental faculties are in complete equilibrium. He is hungry immediately on rising and attacks a good plate of soup with the eagerness of a rustic. After that he seats himself before a large secretary and writes until noon—in negligent dress, as you may suppose. M. le Comte de Buffon, before entering his study, al ways put on liis court dress, did not for get his sword, and did not deign, except in lace cuffs, to occupy himself with the humble animals whose history he was writing. There are few coats more threadbare than those of the master of all. I have named M. Victor Hugo. M. Hugo is also an early riser, but he does not live on soup. Before noon he lives only on his thoughts. He writes a great deal and liis heart is in the work. In his long w alks he prepares the work of the mor row, and as his memory is prodigious he lias only to write out what his faithful memory dictates. He has often related to his friends that in liis youth, during a rainy winter, he was occupied with liis “Marion Delorme.” He had chosen as a place of exercise, under shelter, the Passage du Saumon. The first act, a marvelous commence ment, full of passion, poetry, and fire, was the work of two afternoons spent in promenading in the passage of dingy shops, where were sold, side by side, stockings, straw' mattings, and butchers’ caps. Lamartine, another early riser, com posed his most beautiful verses on horse back. That was a habit worthy of an aristocratic poet, a lover of the open air and of heaven, who, not possessing the Pegasus of heroic days, gave wings to an English saddle horse. Byron showed this sportive taste, probably because lie had a club foot. The poet, beloved of lovers, Musset, adored the reveries of evening.. But it was not under blue heaven, by the splen dor of the stars, that he evoked the muse of night, w'hose voice still vibrates in young hearts. It w'as in the glare of candles, at the angle of a table reddened by overflowing cups. George Sand always wrote at night. Lady of the manor during the day, de voted to her guests, making preserves and engaged in needlework, it was at 1 o’clock in the morning, when the cha teau was fast asleep, that the genius awakened and gave to us “ Mauprat,’ ( “Francois de Champi,” “ Consuelo,” and a hundred other works. —Paris pa pa'. [St. Louis Republican.] It is very rare that the Republican consents to editorially forward the in terests of advertisers of wiiat are known as patent medicines, as it does not fre quentlv fall out that w r e can have posi tive knowledge of their merits. How ever, w’e take pleasure in saying of St. Jacobs Oil, from individual experiment, that it is a most excellent remedial agent, and as such we can heartily recom mend it They have the speaking tube in Ger many, but not the telephone as yet. One day a tenant waited on his landlord to pay his rent. The landlord, seeing that the peasant intended to stay, thought to hurry him by saying through the tube: “ Gretchen, "bring up my lunch.” The peasant declared that the instrument was a wonderful invention, and asked per mission to speak through it, which was granted. He at once approached the tubo and puckering up his mouth, whispered: “ Gretchen, you may bring up lunch for two. ” [Galveston News.] The Madison (Wis.) Democrat, in en deavoring to treat the wounds received by the candidates for the presidency, wisely prescribes St. Jacobs Oil. Of course we could not expect our worthy contemporary to do otherwise than rec ommend that famous Old German Rem edy,—which “heals all wounds but those of love” ami soothes all pains,—save those of political disappointment. Beneficial Effect of Vexation. A French paper mentions the follow ing as a fact: “A shoeing smith, resid ing in the Rue Princesse, who had been for some time partially deprived of the use of his legs by rheumatism, perceived that some thief had taken away a num ber of horse-shoes. He was so excited by this discovery that a profuse perspi ration burst out all over him, which to his amazement, had the effect of restoring the use of his legs, and the first use he made of his recovered powers was to walk to the commissary of police to make b declaration of the theft. ” Father is Betting Well. My daughters say, “How much better father is since he used Hop Bitters.” He is getting well after his long suffer ing from a disease declared incurable, and we are so glad that he used your Bitters.—A lady of Rochester, N. Y. — Utica Herald. The Worship of the Drum. A writer in a contemporary speaks of the extensive prevalence at one time of the worship of the dram or rattle. Sav age people have a singular tendency to venerate whatever makes a noise. The great seat of drum worship was South America. Even at the present day it is found in full vitality in the interior of Brazil; but a hundred years ago it could be said that * ‘the drum was the only ob ject of worship from the Orinoco to the La Plata.” This is two-thirds of South America, and, as it is more than proba ble that Patagonia should be added too, tlxis would make the area of the practice nearly co-equal with that of the conti nent. In former times drum worship also prevailed in Lapland. “The Doctor* SM I would never leave my bed. That wa three montfife ago, and now I weigh 190 pounds. I can not write half of what I want to 6av, but Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure did it all." H. O.'ROUBK. Rahway, N. J. The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts; therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions un suitable to virtue, and unreasonable to nature. An Incident of Jealousy. A great many people make themselves unhappy by needless suspicion and jeal ousy. They cannot reason themsel\es out of it, for as Shakespeare says: Jealous souls will not bo answeied so, They are not jealous for a cause, But jealous lor they’re jealous. It is therefore more easy to ridicule jeal ousy than to argue with it. An old Ger man who lived in Baden, and was af flicted with this malady, was suddenly called to Frankfort. While there the p:ings of the green-eyed monster seized him and he rushed to a clairvoyant. This prohetess closed her eyes and said slowly, “ I see a young and beautiful woman looking out of the window. “ That’s my wife,” said the poor man to himself; “ I wonder what in the world she is looking out of the window for?” “ She is evidently very anxious to see someone,” continued the sleeper. The husband began to feel like a pin cushion full of pius. “ Ah, there he is, she sees him now, and how her face lights up with joy. “Oh, heavens!” cried the excited hus band, “how I wish I was there,” and his eyes flashed in a very dangerous way. “Now,” said the clairvoyant slowly, “ she rushes down to the front door to meet him.” Here great drops of perspiration began to gather on the man’s brow. He had been looking for positive proof for a long time, and lie had it to his heart’s con tent. “And now,” said the seer, “ she takes his head between her hands, calls him ‘ her precious ’ and ‘ her darling, ’ and kisses him again and again.” This was really too much. The poor man trembled in every limb. “And lie,” continued the seer, jumps about the room as though he were mad with delight, and barks, and wags liis tail.” “ Barks and wags his tail?” cried the frantic husband, “for heaven’s sake what are you talking about?” “ Oh,” said the seer, “I think I for got to tell you that it is a dog that I have been looking at all this time.”— N. Y. Herald. Answer This. Did you ever know any person to be 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 hoar of any case of the kind that Hop Bitters would not cure. Ask your neighbor this same question.—Times. CliildreiFs Ideas. The natural philosophy of children is very interesting; they invent just such theories of the universe as the wild na tions have, with a sweet unconsciousness that they are originally myths. During a tremendous thunder storm a little fel low of four year old was overheard ex plaining to another child that lightning was just “red water that runs out of the clouds,” and the thunder “the noise it makes when it goes into the ground.” He lost his courage concerning thunder iu one of the showers, and afterward had to be comforted a little' when one oc curred. One evening, to calm his ap prehensions, his father assured him that the lightening he saw was a great way off, and told him that if it were near, he could hear the thunder at once after the flash, but this time he could notice that there was quite a while between the two. The boy mused over this a little, and then queried: “Papa, what makes the thunder speak so long after it’s got through?” A question -which might be asked of many a public speaker. She thanked me for my assistance in a voice as clear and musical as if she had just taken a teaspoonful of Coussen’s Honey of Tar, the best medicine in the world for clearing the voice, curing coughs and colds, and all diseases of the throat and lungs.

Happy and serene re gion, which has rested in peace above the hurricane ! In that blue point, and at an elevation of 10,000 feet, royally floats a little bird with enormous wings. A gull ? No, its wings are black. An eagle ? No, the bird is too small. It is the ocean eagle, first and chief of the winged race, and daring navigator who never furls his sails, the lord of the tempest, the scomer of all peril—the man-of-war or frigate bird. We have reached the culminating point of the series, commenced by the wingless bird. Here we have a bird which is virtually nothing more than wings; scarcely any body—barely as large as the domestic cock—while his prodigious pinions are fifteen feet in span. The great problem of flight is solved and overpassed, for the power of flight seems useless. Such a bird, naturally sustained by such sup port, need not allow himself to be borne along. The storm bursts; he mounts to lofty heights, where he finds tran quillity. The poetic metaphor, untrue when applied to any other bird, is no exaggeration when appliyd to liim; liter ally, he sleeps upon tlie When he chooses to soar his way seriously, all distance vanishes ; Jae breakfasts at the ‘ Senegal; he dines ih America.” Prevention excels cure every time.
