Agricultural Papers.
Colonel David Tagart, in an address
before the Oregon State Agricultural
Society, justly remarked:
“There are one or two points I would
like to impress forcibly upon yonr
minds. Every faring i nOregon, every
fanner in the United States, every
farmer in the world, ought to take at
least one agricultural paper, aid read
it, too. and make every callable mem
ber of his family read. Every man
who owns or cultivates a rood of ground
ought to take one. Frequently a little
liaragraph of half dozen lines will be
worth to him twenty years’ cost of a
lutper. It is a great help to any man
to have the benefit of other men’s
experience to odd to his own, and that
is precisely what he gets by reading
.these excellent papers; and not only
this, but lie is likely to get the experi
ence of the brightest and ablest farm
ers in the country, for the}- are the
men who usually contribute to them.
They have done more for the improve
ment of farming than even these exhi
bitions. I will venture to say, if there
were no such publications, you would
have no Agricultural Societies, and no
such show as this. The farmer is sure
to get behind who does not read them.
Go! every one of you and subscribe for
an agricultural paper, and take it as
long as you live, and in your last will
anti testament direct your executors to
continue the subscription for the bene
fit of your widow and children; and if
you get no other idea from me to-day,
it will pay you well for being l>oml
with my speech.”
A Little Patch of Bye and u Little
Patch of Clover.
1 sow near my barn a small patch of
rye and have about an equal amount in
red clover. This I cut from day to day
so soon as it is tall enough to cut with
the scythe, and feed it to such animals
as arc kept in the barn and that need
an early bite of green feed. Last spring
I commenced cutting the 15th day of
April, and in n large wheelbarrow it
was, in a few minutes after being cut
with the scythe, delivered in the barn
and greedily and profitably eaten by
the workhorses, the bulls, hull calves
and everything confined in the bam or
yards; if a cow was brought in with a
young calf, it made her a choiee bite,
and all the stray blades that fell by the
way were greedily seized by the pigs
nnd eaten. We continued mowing and
feeding until the beads began to appear;
then we turned out that that was first
mown and mowed it again. We have a
uice little patch of clover in well ma
nured ground that wo shall use in the
same way, and we intend adding a
piece of orchard; this requires high
manuring, but comes on early, and
yields largely and is greatly relished.
We have nothing on the farm that pays
so well as our rye patch near the barn.
Everything about the barn wants a bite
of green grass, and it adds so much to
their health, and consequently to their
growth.
Again, if corn is a little scarce, the
rye helps us along; if there is a little
deficiency of hay, the green rye is a
fine substitute. We had the pnst year
a little more than we used, and it ri
pened and was left standing for chicken
range. Here they not only found feed
but protection from the hawks; and as
late as midwinter, this dry season, we
found sound rye fit for fowls or even
hogs —Northwestern Farmer.
Hens vs. Pips.
One lien eats less than one pig; six
or eight hens would grow fat where one
pig would starge. As we have no farm
to back up our kitchen, wc keep hens.
Our average number is about thirty.
A small quantity of grain or meal ad
ded to the fragments fVom our table
keeps them in good condition. And so
wc have eggs boiled, fried and scram
bled; custards, cake and all kinds of
goodies wherein eggs are used. Some
times small storo bills are settled with
them. Besides, we have chicken roasted
boiled, fried, and chicken pies. Now
all of these good things ought to make
a family feel very comfortable. Well,
it does; and we often go cackling about
our premises as happy as a brood of
chickens hunting grasshoppers, for the
hens are very fond of them. Hut as we
have not sufficient room on our lot to
raise a supply of these insects; we give
them similar food by saving all the
fragments of meat, either fresh or salt,
and after boiling out thonalt, we chop
the meat into pieces about the size of
grasshoppers, and we think they do not
know, the difference. —Mason Hersey ,
in New York Sun.
Longevity ok Farmers. —ln the late
address before the Farmers* Club of
Princeton, Mass., Dr. Nathan Allen
said that according to the registration
report-of deaths in Massachusetts, pub
lished now for about thirty years, and
preserved with more accuracy and com
pleteness than anywhere else in the
country, the longest age is found to
obtain agricultural life. In the ten
different occupations, as given in these
reports, the cultivators of the earth
stand as a class at the head, reaching
on an average the age of nearly sixty
live, while that of the next class (mer
chants) is only forty-nine; that of me
chanics of all’klnds about forty-eight,
and that of shoemakers about forty
four years. Thus here is an advan
tage of about lifteen years on the side
of farmers as compared with merchants,
and they reach an average age but
little short of three score years and
ten, allotted by the psalmist for human
life.
Cure koii Dipthehja. —A simple and
successful remedy is lemon juice. Gar
gle the throat freely with it, at the same
time swallowing a portion, so as to reach
all the effected parts. A French phy
sician claims that lie saved his own life
with this pleasant remedy.
This substance is remarkable as con
stituting the only mineral eaten by
man. Not only does it afford an indis
pensable and wholesome condiment for
our tables, but it forms an essential
constituent of the blood, and supplies
to the human system the loss sustained
by saline secretions. Its antiseptic
prnperities arc invaluable, but although
It preserves, it ultimately changes and
deteriorates the quality of the food to
which it is applied, rendering the same
in nutritious and indigestible; for salt,
notwithstanding its being a strong stim
ulant to the animal fiber, is not con-
vertible into nutriment. This is the
cause why sailors who subsist long
upon salted provisions are subject to
the sea scurvy.
Its medicinal qualities are also re
markable. While all other saline pre
parations tend to cool, this but heats
the body and engenders thirst Some
years ago, a medical man wrote a bro
chure in which he condemned the use
of salt, attributing to it all diseases to
wiiich flesh is heir. The poor fellow
eventually committed suicide.
Only lately a book has appeared in
which the writer, who is a physician,
recommends salt as a sure antidote to
the contagion of small pox. Doctors
of course will disagree; but as variola
is acknowledged to arise from a dis
eased or poisoned condition of the blood,
the du* nse of salt may possibly form
a safe and effective specific. When
moderately used, salt nets as a gentle
stimulant to the stomach, and gives
piquancy and relish to our food.
In Africa, the high caste children
suck rock salt as if it were sugar, al
though the poorer classes of natives
cannot so indulge their palates. Hence
the expression in vogue among them,
“He cats salt with his victuals,” sig
nifying that the person alluded to is an
opulent man. In those countries where
mineral salt is not procurable, and
where the inhabitants are far removed
from the sea, a kind of saline powder
is prepared from certain vegetable pro
ducts, to serve in its stead. Indeed,
so highly is salt valued in some places
—such as l’rester John’s country—that
from its very scarcity it is employed as
a substituc for money.—N. Y. Econo
mist
Sawdust.
The London Field, one of the high
est authorities, savs of sawdust:
“I litter the horses on it to the
depth of nine inches, raking off the
damp and soiled surface every morn
ing, and spreading evenly a little fresh,
removing the whole only four or five
times n year. Its advantages appear
to be many, of which I will state a few
which give it, in my estimation, its
•superiority over straw. It is much
cleaner and more evenly arranged, and
of coarse much cheaper at first cost,
making in the end an excellent manure.
It is peculiarly beneficial to the feet,
affording them a cool, porous stuffing,
a substitute for the soil of earth wo
always find in the hoofs of a horse at
grass, and presents the nearest resem
blance to the horses’ natural footing—
the enrth.
“We have never had a diseased foot
since the introduction of sawdust in
the stable now some years since.
Horses bedded on sawdust arc also
freer from dusts nnd stains than when
on ordinary litter, simply because saw
dust is a better absorbent, perhaps,
and testify their approval of it by fre
quently rolling and lying down for
hours in the day. It has also the re
commendation of being uneatable—an
advantage which all in charge ofhorses
with the habit of eating their litter will
readily admit,”
Agricultural Items.
The good farmer is proved such by
the steady expectation of his crops.
It is far easier to maintain the pro
ductive capacity of a farm than to re
store it.
Each year of a farmer’s devotion to
his homestead may find it more valua
ble, more attractive than the last, and
leave it better still.
Wisdom is never dear, provided the
article be genuine. There are farmers
who have toiled constantly from day
break to dark, yet died poor, because,
through ignorance, they wrought to
disadvantage.
Only good farming pays. He who
plants without reasonable assurance of
good crops annually, might better earn
wages of sonic capable neighbor than
work for so poor a paymaster as he is
certain to prove himself.
The good farmer sells mainly such
products as are least exhaustive. A
bank account daily drawn upon while
nothing is deposited to its credit, must
soon respond “no funds.” So with a
farm similarly treated. Rotation is at
least negative fertilization. It may
positively enrich a farm; it will at least
retard and postpone its impoverish
ment.
At a recent meeting of the Central
New York Farmers’ Club at Utica, Mr.
Williamson gave an interesting account
of his experience in soiling cows. In
1809 he kept eleven cows eight months
on fourteen acres of land, that was only
in fair condition. Four acres of this
land was sowed in corn; four in orch
ard and timothy grasses; one in winter
rye, and five in pasture. The cows
•were also fed four quarts of shorts and
one pint of oil cake each per day; they
kept in good condition and did well.
They were kept for making butter, and
turned eighty-five dollars each, beside
the butter and milk used in a family of
six to eight persons. Last year he
kept fifteen cows entirely in the stable
and yard, where they were perfectly
contented. Their yield of milk was
very regular in quantity and not be
hind that of other daries; the net pro
ceeds were about the same as year be
fore. Mr. W. speaks highly of soiling,
and intends so continue the practice
until every foot of his land shall pro
duce fourfold, as pretty much all the
manures, liquid and solid, are saved
and applied where most needed.—Coun
try Gentleman.
In 1,000 persons 95 marry, and more
marriages occur in June and December
than in any other months in the year.
The cry fbr W has always been
louder than the cry for food. Npl that
it is more important, but it is often
harder to get. The best rest comes
from sound sleep. Os two men and
women, otherwise equal, the one who
sleeps the best will be the most moral,
healthy and efficient.
Hleep will do much to eurWrritabil
ity of temper, peevish ness, and uneasi
ness. It will cure
build up and make strong a weak body.
It will do much to cure <l.Vß]>epataSEhj
ticulariy that variety known as nerrßds
dyspepsia. It will relieve the languor
and prostration felt by consumptives.
It will cure hydrophobia. It will cure
headache. It will cure neuralgia. It
will cure a broken spirit It will cure
sorrow.
Indeed we might make a long list of
nervous maladies that it will cure.
The cure of sleeplessness, however,
is not so easy, particularly in those
who carry grave responsibilities. The
habit of sleeping well is one which if
broken np for any length of time is not
easily regained. Often severe illness
treated by powerful drugs so deranges
the nervous system that sleep is never
sweet after. Or perhaps long continued
watchfulness produces the same effect;
or hard study or too much exercise of
the muscular system, or tea and whisky
drinking and'tobacco using. To break
up the habit, are required:
1. A good clean bed.
2. Sufficient exercise to produce a
wariness, and pleasant occupation.
3. Good, pure air and not too warm
a room.
4. Freedom from too much care.
5. A clear stomach.
6. A clear conscience.
7. Avoidance of stimulants or nar
cotics.
Digestion and Paradise. —All talk
of blessings! What a blessing is di
gestion! To digest! Do you know
what it means? It is to have the sun
always shining and the shade always
ready for you. It is to be met with
smiles, ami to be greeted with kisses.
It is to hear sweet sounds, to sleep with
sweet dreams, to be touched ever with
soft, cool hands. It is to be in Para
dise. Adam and Eve were in Paradise.
Why? Their digestion was good. Ah!
then they took liberties—ate bad fruit,
things they could not digest They
ruined their constitutions, destroyed
their gastric juices, nnd then they were
expelled from Paradise .by an angel
with a flaming sword, which turned two
wnys, was indigestion. There came a
great indigestion upon the earth be
cause the cooks were bad, and they
called it a deluge. All! I thank God
there is to be no more deluges—all the
evil comes from this. Macbeth could
not sleep. It was the supper, and not
the murder. His wife talked and
walked. It was the supper again. Mil
ton had a bad digestion, because he was
always so cross; and your Carlyle must
have the worst digestion in the world,
because he never says any good of any
lxxty. Ah! to digest is to be happy.

Bleeding at the Nose. —A corres
pondent writes: Some two years ago,
while going down Broadwaw, in New
York, blood commenced running from
my nose quite freely. I stepped aside
and applied my handkerchief, intend
ing to repair to the nearest hotel, when
a gentleman accosted me, saying: “Jlist
put a piece of paper in your mouth,
chew it rapidly, and it will stop your
nose from bleeding. Thanking him
rather doubtfully, I did rs lie suggested
and the flow of blood ceased almost in
stantly. 1 have seen the remedy tried
since, quite frequently, and always with
success, Doubtless any substance
would answer the same purpose as pa
per, the stoppage of the flow of blood
beiug caused, no doubt, by the rapid
motion of the jaws and the counterac
tion of the muscles and arteries con
necting the jaws and the nose. Physi
cians say that by placing a small roll of
paper or muslin above the front teeth,
under the upper lip, and pressing hard
on the same, will arrest bleeding from
the nose—checking the passage of the
blood through the arteries through the
nose.
Put the Agreement in AVriting.
How many misunderstanding arise
arise fjom the loose way in which busi
ness matters arc talked over, and then
when each party puts his own construc
tion on the conversation, the matter is
dismissed by each with the words “all
right,” “all right.” Frequently it turns
out all wrong and becomes a question
for lawyers and the courts.
More than three-fourths the litiga
tion of the country would be saved if
people would put down their agree
ments in writing, and sign their names
to it Each word in our language has
its own peculiar meaning, and memory
may, by the change of a single word,
or even by the change of its position in
in a sentence, convey an entirely dif
ferent idea from that intended. When
once reduced to writing, ideas are fixed,
and expensive law-suits avoided.
Temper and Health. —Good temper
with many people is dependent upon
good health; good health upon good
digestion; good digestion upon whole
some, well prepared food, eaten in peace
and pleasantness. 111-cooked, untidy
meals, are as great a cause of bad tem
per as many a moral wrong; and a per
son of sensitive physique may be nursed
into settled hypochondria by living in
close rooms, where the sweet, fresh air
and sunshine are determinedly shut
out, and the foul air as determinedly
shut in.
Cuke for Burns. —A correspondent
at Huntsville, Alabama, says mutton
suet with just enough of coal tar in it
to eglor it, will heal up burns very rap
idly. He gives an instance of a child
whose hand was so badly burned that
all the skin peeled off, yet by the use
of this mixture it •"as cured up in
three weeks without leaving a scar.

Ventilation. —Fresh air by day and
night, strong and nourishing food, dry
soil on which to live, sunlight and warm
clothing, are the means of saving many
lives which would have been hopelessly
lost in the preceding generation. If
our conjectures are correct, this im
provement may be expected to con
tinue, and everbody can help to make
it greater. Ventilate the school-room,
and the workshops, and the stores, and
the houses. In cold weather, let air,
comfortable and equally wanned, be
generally supplied from without in a
constantly flowing current. Let those

| “How to Keep the Boys at Home.”
To the fanning community this is a
question of the greatest importance.
I Not that it is wise or desirable to retain
a.l of the boys of rural districts upon
the farm, but that there be enough re
tained to supply that urgent demand
that exists. Boys are apt to look from
‘the hard and often uninviting labors
that it is their lot to share, with eager
eves and longing desires to the city’s
charms and the manufactory’s attrac
tions.
Seen through the vista of distance
that lies between them and the coveted
positions, they present attractions that
are delusive and seductive. We would
not be understood as wishingto retain
those whose natural fitness points them
to other pursuits than agriculture; but
only those (and their name is legion)
that would succeed better on the farm
than in any other position.
The first step towards fixing a love
of farming and country life in our boys
(and girls too,) is to cultivate the beau
tiful about and within our homes. Im
pressions made upon the plastic heart
of youth are more enduring than that
traced upon the marble or adamant.
If in this fixing, forming period, there
is inbred with the very woof and warp
of their existence a love of Nature and
of the wide, free air of the country, it
will last through life. If wc make our
home attractive and adorn them, hum
ble though they be and low even as cur
lot in life mavextend, there will grow
up in the hearts of our children a strong
love for the old farmstead and its coun-
terparts.
We shonld also treat our boys not as
mere servants, but as becomes fathers
that desire to make earnest, noble men
of their offspring. They should have
a piece of land to cultivate and have
the proceeds. They should be supplied
with good l>ooks, papers and pictures,
and have leisure to read or treasure up
their contents; and in the years to
coinc, like the little rill that has its
source far up the mountain’s side, their
influence will go on and on till it be
comes a broad, noble river, bearing to
the ocean of eternity rich treasures on
its ample bosom.
Tliongh in the humblest walks of
life, we may throw around our homes
and our children that magic spell of
truth, love and beauty that shall bind
them to the truthful, the lovely and the
beautiful, that shall keep them from
the paths of sin and error and make
their future bright and useful.— J. IF.
Lang, in the Fanners' Monthly.
When Not to Eat. —Never eat when
very much fatigued. Wait until rested.
Never cat just before you expect to en
gage in any severe mental or physical
exercise. Never eat while in a passion,
or while under great mental excitement,
whether of a depressing or elevating
character. Never eat just liefore tak
ing a bath of any kind. Never eat just
before retiring for the night. Never
eat between regular meals.
One-fourth of the population die at
or before the age of seven years.
