The life of a farmer is not an one, bat when he looks around and seis the wrecks of fortune made on every hadnd by men engaging in other pursuits tho farmer has cause to bo thankful if he can support his family and give his children a common education. It has heen stated that during the last hulf century only four merchants in the city of New York, out of every hundred have succeeded in making their busi. ness profitable. The unsuccessful ones have managed, in many cases, to contio ne in business for years after they have had became bankrupt according to their b volts; but of o >urse, dually had to sue* cu ub their fate. These men while living in good luxuriously have carried oontinualiy load of care that no farmer ever experience ; and when the time came that their business must bo wouud up, their condition generally has been one of poverty, and utterly broken down in spirits. A few recover and resume busiaesa again j but the majority are poshed aside to make room for others eventually to follow in their footsteps and end their fives in misery and des pair. Farmers, be contented. You may not bo able to lay up money ; but if you can pay your farms and live comfor tably, envy not tho condition of those engaged in other pursuits. To fanners who are out of debt and own good farms, need I say that the appar ently wealthy baokees of Wall street might well envy your lot. Nearly every week some of these firms owning miL lions of dollars explodes and its members sink into poverty and ob neurity; but iho farmer who is out of debt owns a bank that can never fail, inasmuch seedtime and harvest and potnised unto the end of time. Tdk Weeds. —Don't burn the weeds if you have a weedy piece of ground to break. By burning them you can gain nothing, for they have already ahed their seeds, and sain seed are already in the ground entirely beyond the reach of file. So the best thing you can do is to turn under|the weeds, if possible, the •oil needs every one of them, no matter wow rich it may be naturailv. We know the ground would break muoh nioer with the weeds away, but no mat* ter —do the best vou can with them— never think of burning them. If they are so thick that you cannot turn them under,it will pay you to run among them with a harrow, tearing them loose, and to follow the harrow with a rake throw ing them into compact piles to tot foi spreading over tho ground at Same future time. No, don’t burn the weeds. Cement. —One of tho beßt cements for crockery is to mix lime with the white of an egg. To uso it take a suffi cient quantity of the egg to mend one article at a time. Shave off a quantity of lime and mix thoroughly. Apply quickly to the edges and firmly togeths or when it soon sets and becomes stroDg. Calcined plastej ot Paris will answer in the place of the lime. • A SPECIFIC cure for mange is to irash’the animal with soap suds, carbol ic soap is base, but common lye soap will do—take a cloth and rub well, after apply an ointment composed of fresh laid and flour of sulpher. Give a ta* blespoonful of sulpher in tho feed every other week. Four eight or ten rub' binge with the ointment should be giv es. Peanut oil, first made in the South during the war, is now in large demand- II supplies the place of almond and oL ivo oils for various uses, and is lower in (iriee retains its purity and flavors for a ong *ime, and is less susceptible to the effect of light than olive oil. The o'.l is extracted entirelyjfrom the meat of the nut btf pressure the refuse being psed as cattle feed or a fertilizer. To Cure a Scald.—Tako the surper £oe alum fiourand and lard, and rub together to the consistency of a salve ; apply over the part affected and if any portion becomes dry, patch it with the •viome, but in no case remove any part that remains intact. e ' " be dampened If it becomes •oiled or dim, rub with soft flannel and a little frpsh lard. Gleaned in this way may alwrys be kept as bright as when first purchased. i I*-* M * - A nice Pudding.—To one pint well .mashed potatoes add one half a cup of sugar a piece of fresh butter, four eggs and lemon or orange flower water. Bake and bring in hot to the table. Liquid to Prevent Baldness. —Eau de Cologne, 2 ounces, tincture of cantharides, 2 drachms ; oil of nut meg,and oiPof lavender, each 10 drops. To be rubbed ou the bald part of tho head every night. Snow Cake —One cup of butter, two of sugar, white of eight eggs, one cup of sweet milk, one teaspoonful of soda and two of dream of trrtar.
