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. The average of human life is thirty three years. .

Two boyi ijjlt, last week, their coun try home' tefi#||ek their fortunes in the city. “ I sbatppH what luck will do for me,” said one. “I shalPsee what labor will do for me,” cried the otlu-r. Which is the better to depend upon, luck or- labor? Let us sec. Luck is always waiting for someth..ig to turn up. Labor will turn up something. Luck lies abed'wishing. Labor jumps up at six o’clock, and with busy pen or ringing hammer, lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines; labor whistles. Luck relies on chance; labor on character. Luck slides down to indolence. Labor strides upwards to indepen dence. Which is likely to do most for you, boys? 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.

Colored woolens that incline to fade should be washed in beef’s gall and warm water before they are put into soap suds. Colored pantaloons look very well washed with beef’s gall and fair warm watef* and pressed on the wrong side while damp. Killing Grassb offers.— A u Austral ian newspaper, quoted by Tilton’s Jour nal, says that tie practice lias been very successfVillyfadopted in gardens of sowing rows of common larkspur, the leaves of which attract grasshop pers at once, eaten is certain death to them, and that thousands of grasshoppers have been thus seen lying dead. The .experiment is worth try ing, although nearly all statements of the kind are exaggerations. Cure fob CmekKN Cholera. — H. Y. Hanks,’Ripley, Tennessee, writes ns that the common wormsced or Jerusa lem oak is a sure preventive arid cure for chicken cholera. The dried leave's rruy be mixed with the food and given several times a week in winter and in summer; the green leaves will answer the same purpose. Dr. Franklin recommends a young man, in the choice of a wife, to select her from a bunch, giving as a reason that, when there are many daughters they improve each other, and from em ulation acquire more accomplishments tfnd know more and do more than a single child spoiled by parental fond ness. — | “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. * advertisements. GEORGIA, Catoosa County.
