Taxing Olkomakgarink.—Taxing oleomargarine will probably have some effect in saving cotton seed for feeding stock instead of getting the oil out of it to make into imitation butter. CliKAP VlNKGAR.—One who has often tried it tells thus how any family can have cheap and good vinegar. Put a pint of molasses in n jug and pour over it one gallon of warm water. The water mu9t not be boiling. Let it stand for two months and it will be good vinegar. Some experienced farmers say that cholera, among hogs, will constantly occur if they are fed on nothing but corn. If farmers will feed their hogs on mixed food they will never be troubled with cholera. Those farm ers who use mixed food for them say they are never affected with that dis ease. ’ Worth Knowing.—A poison of any conceivable description anti de gree of potency, having been swallow ed, intentionally or by accident may be rendered instantly harmless by swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual with a very strong con stitution should tnke twice the quan tity. This oil will neutralize every form of vegetable or mineral poison with which the physiciuu and chem ists are acquainted. There is not one garden in a hun dred tfiat is rich enoagli for the best results. A ha f acre will be enough for a good sized family if manured and worked properly. Two orthree crops, of a number of vegetables, can be ob tained from the same square or plat in the same year, if suitably enriched; such as peas, beets, spinach, carrots, turnips, cabbages, Irish potatoes, corn, cucumbers, squashes, radishes and snap beans, and some others. If the ground is sufficiently manured two crops can be obtained in succes sion without any manure for the second crop, and very little will be needed for the third. If the land is first rate, three crops can be obtained with only one manuring. Cows are as liable to founder as horses, or at least, they will show the characteristic lameness of this disease after overfeeding on almost anything. We have seen it where apples, pota toes or green corn were the articles with which the stomach was over loaded. Any such ration fed to ex cess will stop at once the flow of milk in the best cow, and it will take sever al days of careful management to re- store’it.—Courier Journal. It is often of the greatest impor tance to a crop that the cultivation^ should be done at a certain stage of growlii or condition of soil; for exam ple. un heavy clay lands a heavy rain forms a crust’ which should lie broken as soon as possible after the land is drv enough to work. The farmer who undertakes to cultivate forty acres with one team is obliged to neglect this at this critical time, and liis crop is often permanently injured.—Peo ple's Farm and Stock Cyclopedia. This illustrates what we have often stated, the danger of attempting to cultivate too much land. The safest and best policy is to cultivate only as many acres as can he worked in every contingency at the proper time. Whole crops have been ruined by at tempting too much. Sir J. K. Lawes, the English experi menter, alleges that by actual trial he has proved that a ton of cotton seed meal which costs about $31.50 perton, is worth as a manure, after it has pas sed through the animals whichconMini- edit, *82.35. This sounds huge and will no doubt he called in question. Hut whether this can be demonstrated outside of Itothamstead or not, it can not be doubted that the manorial value of cotton seed meal is very gen erally underestimated. Clothes dipped into hot potato wa ter are said to afford immediate and complete relief in the severest cases of rheumatism. To stop bleeding at the nose place a small roll of paper or muslin above the front teeth, under the upper lip, and press hard on the same. TO OBTAIN EGGS. Many persons give their cliickeiiM as much corn as they will eat hoping to get a plenty of eggs. Of course they arc disappointed, and will always be so. as long as they are fed in that way. Mix egg-shells, beat up with their food or chalk, or old lime mortar and they will lay three times ns many eggs as without it. These contain carbonate of lime without which a hen will not lay eggs with the beat will iu the world. Try it and see liow they will lay. No matter liow they are fed they will not lay in the cold winter time as well as in warm weath er. But if they can get the shells or carbonate of lime, they will lay twice as many in the winter as they would in the summer without it, if their house is close and warm. Have a Plenty of Fodder. It is injurious to horses to feed them on too much corn if there be a scarce- ty of fodder. It is always an easy mat ter to have a plenty of long food. If one is likely to lack a plenty of fod der, or other such food, sow early on an acre, or more if needed, about 2j or 8 bushels of good sound corn. It is bad policy to waste the corn by sowing on poor land. First break up the land arid make wide and deep drills with a long shovel. If the land is not pretty rich open the drills about 2i feet ajmrt and scatter a good quan tity of good manure in them, ana bow the corn in them at the rate of 2.J bushels to the acre. When it conies up and is 6 inches nigh, run a shovel in the centre and let it alone until it tassels, when it should be cut and dri ed for fodder. More than an acre may be thus sown if the number of stock should require it. One acre, of good land that will bring the corn four or five feet high, will make a fine quan tity of fodder corn. It might be cut and fed green, if some should be need ed before it is all cut for fodder. If well shocked a rain will not injure it much. But It would be best to shock it under a shelter. From New Farm. Treason Roadsides. In some of the cities of Europe, the children have been taught that when ever they eat nice fruit of any Kind, they must plant the seed of it on the side of the road, along which they are accustomed to travel. Of course, the instruction given thus early remains with them, so that when grown up, they continue the practice; and it is a common thing to see a person plant his peach stone, or hi8pluw stone, his pear or apple seed, wherever he chances to be when he finishes eating the fruit. Comparatively few of these may ever become fruit bearing trees; but so many are planted in the aggregate that in some parts of Europe the roads are pretty well bordered with these trees, adding greatly to the beauty of the country. It is not, however, necessary in our young land to wait for roadside trees tiutil they can be grown from the seed. With the care that can be given them, good sized trees can he safely trans planted, and we would advocate that youug trees, whether of fruit or foli age it matters little, be planted along every country road. If every young boy and girl should make it a point to plant one tree each year by the roadside, how very soon would our couutry roads be a blessing to the eyes, atid comfort to both man and beast. Some of our prominent institutions are establishing Arbor days, when the students shall each plant a tree of some kind in selected localities, and this is an excellent practice. 11 would, indeed, be a splendid thing could Arbqr days be established every where in our country, and both old and young join in its celebration, by planting out some kind of a tree, val uable for fruit or for beauty. The latest crop reports from the great potato-growing sections indicate a probability that the prices of pota toes this year will advance far beyond the figures reached during the last two lanted with this crop has been somewhat be- 1/M« Inut tll6 olnmaf nil less tli or three years. The area pli me low last year's, the yield in almost all sections is less than au average, is while the great enemy, rot, is re ducing the crop one-half or more in all the principal potato districts.— Our friends, who nave grown sound tubers, should be careful in liarves ting, saving and and disposing of them, so as to make the most of these cir cumstances. At all events, the careful grower not throw his potato crop away this year or—what is about the same—sell it for a mere song. To pre vent the spores of the rot fungus from reaching the tubers in the hills it is recommended to cover the potatoes with a few’ inches of soil, either by plowing a furrow upon the rows or by drawing the soil over the hills with a hoe. The rot spores fall from the foliage upon the ground, and find ing there warmth and moisture, ger minate immediately, but die from lack of proper food before reaching the tu bers.—[Farm and Garden. England requires from 150,000 to 110.000 bales of hops from abroad each year to make up her shortage. Ger many usually supplies this need but, this year she is snort of hops. With 70.000 bales short in this country in the 1880 crop, and 150,000 bales short in England, it is useless to look to Germany to supply such deficiency. Hence there must be a strong market for any surplus hops of 1884 and 1880. —American Cultivator.
