FARM AND GARDEN. \ Government Receipt. Here is the receipt for harness dressing adopted by the l nited States Govern ment: One gallon neat's foot oil, two pounds bay-berry tallow, two pounds beeswax. Put the above in a pan over a moderate tire. When thoroughly dis solved, add two quarts of castor oil; then while on the lire stir in one ounce of lampblack. Mix well, and strain through a tine cloth to remove sediment; let it cool, and keep it in tin cans. Foot Rot in Cattle. There are many forms of foot rot in cattle, but in neatly aM cases the mineral acids are at least beneficial when used as a dressing for the sores. In simple foot rot, sulphuric acid diluted with three or lour parts of water, has long been recommended by veterinarians for dressing the raw places or sores on the feet. We should think that pure muriatic acid would be a ratlier severe remedy, although it may be efficacious. We should prefer to dilute it with water, as our veterinarians advise. Carbolic acid is also an excellent remedy for contagious loot rot as well as the metre simple and common form of the disease. —New York Sun. • _ ' Take Care of the Carriage. The safest way to guard against blisters oil panels and the cracking of the varnish on carria.es is to be careful about how the vehicle is subjected to either rain or heat If caught in a shower, have a chamois skin with you; it will not take very long to dry the surface oil', and then you are sure you are running no risks. If compelled to stand any length of time in the sun, turn the carriage around once in a while, so as to allow the sides to cool alternately. Never allow the carriage tc stand in the coach-house near a window, unless you have a cover for the exposed parts or curtains on the windows, and above all do not cool your carriage off too sud den y while it is heated by dashing water over it in that condition; let it cool off gradually by standing in a shady place, or at least until you can bear your hand on it. without almost burning it. The reason i 3 that the varnish and paint are softened up so that the sudden re action, will be very likely to cause them to crack, if not to Hake off altogether. Water should never be allowed to dry on a carriage, either by the action of the sun or atmosphere, but should be dried off with a chamois. —Neto York World. Raising Winter T.ambs. It is a profitable business, but like any Jther, success is the reward of close at tention. Lambs last winter sold for in January, and then along down to si> the last of April. The extra feed and care for the ewes is nearly paid for in their superior condition for mutton in early spring, when mutton is scarce. A shepherd can care for a hirsel of 150 ewes, and have an easy time doing it. If this is not better than selling lambs in the fall at six months of age for sl3, the price here now, I would like to be cor rected. 2. The ewes are shorn soon after coming into winter quarters, else, owing to the temperature (50 degrees) kept uj) for best results with lambs, the ewes would shed their wool before spring. A visit to a winter-lamb raiser last season, who had neglected shearing, revealed a sorry, ragged looking flock of ewes. It may be here remarked that with properly constructed quarters no artificial heat is necessary. The sheep generate too much heat, and the temper ature is kept even by air shafts. 3. I have assurance that a dealer in New York city, who is regarded here as trust worthy, will advertise h : s business in the Triune, weekly edition, in due time. He can give all fnformation as to prices, how to prepare for market, and when and how to ship. Tribune. Feeding on the Ground, It is a waste of feed of any kind to /ive to stock upon the ground, and especially any kind of grain. There is always more or less loss that with good management could very readily have been avoided, and that would in a very short time pay for the expense of provid ing suitable places lor feeding. Even the hogs ought to have a tight floor upon which tnqir torn can be led, rather than upon the ground. lo ugh feed given to cattle, sheep or horses, if fed upon the ground, is certain to have more or less of it trampled down and left. Tight floors, upon which the grain fed to hogs can be thrown, and feeding troughs or boxes to feed grain to the other kinds of stock, with racks or mangers for all kinds of feed, will pre vent such loss. If all the stock are kept the farm that the feed raised will in a good, thrifty condition, it will to feed so as to avoid waste as much aspossib e. And where a considerable number of stock are kept, it will make a difference in the amount of feed well worth saving. it is well to provide these early in the fall. More or less stock will require to be fed at almost any time now, and the arrangements for feeding should be made as soon as possible. Take a little time and plan to arrange conveniently. It will often make a considerable dif ference in the time required to properly feed and care for the stock, how the ar rangements for feeding are made. A due regard to the making and handling of the manure should also be considered. The making, saving and applying of all the manure possible should always be made an item, and in planning the feed >ug sirrangements this should always be considered. The feeding arrangements need not be expensive; they should, however, be convenient, strong and tight, so as to save time and feed.— Prairie Farmer. Shipping Fruit to Marker. There are three principal ways afor sending fruit to market, requiring cor respondent treatment and packing. First, by spring wagons to neighboring towns or cities. Baskets are the best and cheapest packages; and now’ that they are made so cheaply by machinery, 't is hardly necessary to require of pur chasers the return of the baskets. They are commonly of some use to the con sumers, who thus obtain them at the *°w price by the thousand at which the shippers buy them. If returned, they are apt to be more or less soiled, and pur chasers prefer new and clean packages, secondly, shipping by express N arly the same rules apply; and for all soft or perishable fruit, as peaches, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and grapes, baskets only should be employed—they will naturally be lifted with the large handle by the railway men and not tumbled on their sides like boxes. Square or cubical boxes will be sure to be pitched in upside down, in spite of any “this sido up” with which they are distinctly marked. Hard fruit, like winter apples, or like autumn or winter pears which are put up a week or more before they soften, may l>£ packed in kegs, half-barrels, and barrels by the mode generally under stood by fruit men; and if the freight trains are known to run directly to their destination or to make direct connec tions, these barrels and half-barrels may be sent in the third method, as freight, much, more cheaply than by express. The importance of thus packing and sending in kegs and barrels hard fruit only, should be well understood by men who put them up. A single instance will explain this importance. New hands were employed to pack Bartlett pears in hal'-barrels, a week in advance of the softening of the fruit. Care was taken not to admit any bad specimens; but among others a very tine yellow pear was so attractive that “just this single ripe one” was included. The usual pressure of about one inch was given, and the contents were pronounced safe and solid. But the jarring in transit caused the surrounding hard pears to indent the ripe one; this produced rattling, aud rattling made larger and increasing dents; then the rest of the pears began to rattle, and by the time the package reached the market the whole contents were bruised, defaced and spoiled. Shippers of fruit may be divided into two classes—those who succeed, and those who fail. The former, by good cultivation, careful picking and honest assorting, place none but the best, fruit in market, with their names on every package. In a few years their brand becomes well known to consumers, ■ who are willing to pay well, because they know they are receiving their money’s worth. The other class raise poor fruit, put the worst in the centre of the pack age, get rid of it at slow sale as they can, and fail to sell even at a low price in future when they become known, for both wholesale dealers and consumers will try to avoid them. Country Gentle man. Farm and Garden Notes. The surplus and inferior grapes make capital vinegar. Clean culture destroys many hiding places of injurious insects. Shade sheds should be provided in treeless pastures for the cattle. A tendril is an abortive fruit bunch— a bunch of fruit a productive tendril. Every leaf has a bud at the base, and either a branch or a tendril opposite it. Clean out the droppings from a poultry-house frequently. It is a neces sary course to adopt to get rid of lice. Some mea are naturally good milkers. They have a Arm yet gentle hand and a way of winning the cow’s confidence. I.ook for certain forms of the hot or breeze-flies this month; the adults of some species are now ready to deoosit eggs. Take heed how cattle are driven to and from pasture. Many fine milch cows are ruined by hurry and excite ment. If there is plenty ef green food at the disposal of poultry it will not be neces sary to get them meat at this season of the year. Pick up and destroy fallen fruit under plum, apple and peach trees, and by so doing de>troy hosts of curculio and codling-moth larvae. Beets are said by a New York dairy man, when fed at the rate of two bushels daily to the cows, to be a better milk producer than ensilage. A successful grower of trees claims never to fail to dispose of the black knot finally, if it is cut off in an early stage and turpentine applied. Cut-worms are killed by digging them from their hiding-places; also by fall - plowing, which exposes them to the action of frost and to the attack of birds. Wood-peckers are great enemies of the borers; they never make a mistake about the place in which to dig. Pity men do not allow them the freedom of the orchards. The fowls and chicks should be fed together. Feeding coops -for the young stock that are light and easily cleaned out are indispensable articles about the poultry yard. Butter contracts during cold weather, forcing the brine to the surface, and the water, evaporating, lea.es the salt that was in the brine in flakes on the out side of the butter. Don’t go into the poultry business from sudden fancy or impulse, but con sider well what you propose to do, and plan paiticularly how you are go’ug to do it before you begin. Dissolve a pound of alum in three quarts of water and put it in your white wash; it will not only improve the white wash, but it will kill vermin * in the poultry house when the whitewash shall be applied. Don’t try to raise turkeys with chicken hens unless you wish more trouble than the young ones are w’orth. Let their natural mother do the sitting, an'd keep her cooped up two weeks after the hatching. Borers are cut from the bark with a knife, x>r Killed in their holes with a sharpened wire. Better still, wash the tree with a strong solution of soap in June or July, and kill the eggs before any damage is done. Miss Vaccine Yints Sannders. A happy father out on a Massachusetts street, says the Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier , had his first child, a girl three months old, vaccinated a short time ago. “By George, isn’t that great!” he exclaimed, as he saw the doctor at work “By Jove, why I guess I’ll call her by that name! Vaccine! Why, that is a girl’s name, ain’t it? Vaccine \ irus Saunders! Capital! People will think we arc de scended from some old Boman family. Dear little \accine!” The mother strongly objected to this appellation for her first born. She wanted it named Imogene, but the father was determined, and Vaccine Virus Saunders will go through life. Her diminutive will prob ably be “Vacksy.” HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. A Handsome Lambrequin. A very handsome window lambrequin is of plush; cut a piece the required depth and width of a window. At some listance from each other make a deep perpendicular slash, and draw the por tion between tho slashes— which should be a little shorter than the euds—from the left end and lift high at the right edge by folding in it three upturning plaits, tacking securely. Fasten a bow of ribbon over the plaits, and finish the edge of lambrequin with plush balls. On the end pieces embroider a spray of flowers. Line with silesia, satteen or canton flannel. Co-Oj>erative Pickling. The ladies in our neighborhood have been trying a little co-operative pick ling, says a correspondent of the Prairie Farmer. We find that in making all kinds of chopped pickles, it is a very great saving of time and labor to use a sausage cutter to prepare the vegetables. As a good part of the work consists in cleaning the cutter, we met and cut or ground our cabbage, tomatoes, onions and peppers. It was all done in a very short time. We took the chopped vege tables home in paiis. Mrs. Howe, the lady at whose house the work was done, gave me this recipe for making them up: One peck and a half of green tomatoes, three small heads of cabbage, six large onions, six ripe peppers, and six green peppers; chop ail very finely and cover ill with salt for twenty-four hours, then drain the juice off thoroughly; cover with two quarts of strong vinegar; add one and a half pounds of sugar; scald all one hour, then add three heads of finely chopped celery and one [tint of grated horse radish root; boil all tifteen min utes, then add one tablespoonful of cloves, two tablespoonfuls each of white mustard-seed, allspice, ginger, and one tabiespoonful of mustard. These spices ire all to be ground. Cover closely. It s tit for use in a month. The Care of Lamps People who live in houses lighted by gas escape much that is disagreeable in '.he care of lamps—or their lack of care. But the kerosene lamp is the almost universal illuminator. The best light is obtained from a lamp where the surface of the oil is at all times at the same distance from the burn ing part of the wick. Where the re-er voir containing the oil is directly under the burner, as in most common lamps, the blaze burns less and less brightly as the oil decreases and the wick grows more tardy in supplying it. We need an improvement in hand lamps on this account. The wick serves principally to elevate the oil, the combustion of its own sub stance being very slight, but there is a choice in wicks. Felt wicks are preferable to woven, ae they can be more easily trimmed to give a good shaped blaze. Some housewives in trimming a wick will cut off all the black every day. Thii is undesirable, for by pinching off the loose fibers and smoothing over the top a better light is obtained. The inside of the oil reservoir should be carefully cleansed soda dissolved in water (teaspoonful to a quart of water). Ee careful to drain and dry them well. This can be easily done by standing them in the open oven a few moments. Do not let the soda and water come into contact with any bronze or gilt about the ousido of the lamp. Oil should be strained before it is put into a glass lamp. The burners should be boiled in soda water once in a month or two. If you live in or near where there is a factory in which brass is handled, take the burners there and have them dipped. It will cost but a few cents, and they will look like new. Some burners give an excellent light, especially for winter, as they'heat like a small stove. One will very quickly raise the temperature, in an ordinury-sized room, five degrees. People practice aconomy in all ways and use widely different means of “saving a little,’ which is a good thing to do—but don’t for the sake of your eyes and health economize by using poor, worn-out burners on your lamps, which render combustion imperfect, and would be none too good if new. —New York News.

Prince Eugene, youngest son of the King of bweden, is studying art in Paris. The Sugar Trust. The closing of another refinery at Boston, Mass., by the sugar trust indi cates that it is the policy of the trust to supply the Eastern maiket from its plant iu the vicinity of New York city. The whiskey trust or alcohol trust of the West has undertaken in tjie same way to concentrate its producing plant in Peoria, and has closed many distilleries in other cities. It appears that although the two sugar refineries in Philadelphia that have not entered the trust are compelled to pay more than the trust for raw material, they undersell the trust by one-eightli of a cent. The trust will undoubtedly re new its efforts to bring these refineries into the ring; If it should succeed, it would have no formidable opponent ex cept Claus Spreckels, and his new re finery at Philadelphia, Pa., cannot be in opeiation before next Summer. Safeguard Against a Fast. Medical and other professional men often break down from their inability to keep a regular time for meals. An eminent doctor says: “Being often out for many hours, and becoming too exhausted to digest a full meal when at length able to get it, I conceived a plan which answered ad mirably well, and which other doctors gladly adopted. I provided myself with a small bottle of lime water, which I added to a glass of milk when passing a dairy-shop; or I put a small flask of the mixture in my pocket. A water biscuit with this will keep a man from harm on a long fast, and enable him to digpst a meal when he is able to obtain it.” From the District Attorney of Westchester County. New York. White Plains, N. Y., April 10, 18-0. I have received many letters in reference to my testimonials, lately published, commend ing Allcock’s Porous Plasters. I cannot spare the time to answer them in writing, therefore would again say, through the press, that I have found Allcock’s Porous Plasters invaluable as chest protectors and shields against coughs and colds. Furthermore, I have found Allcock’s Plasters unequaled for pains in the side, hack and chest. Nelson H. Baker. There is a mine near Leadville into which women are never admitted.
