Farm, Garden and Household Changing Sails P?nn?Btatlr> Every farmer and gardener knows that manure does not last a great many years in the soil, and that he has to manure again, and that a farm or garden, in fine oondition, if not fed with fertilizers, will run out after a while. But I have tried one way of improving the soil that is permanent, and the improvement, I calculate, will lsat a hundred J ears at least My soil is heavy, too eavy for gardening, aad I have made it lighter bv drawing on sand in winter from a knoll oomposed mostly of sand. When the horses and hired man had little else to do, I had them hitched to the sled, and oovered a part of my garden with a stratum of sand two or three inohes thick. In a year or two, when it became well mixed through the soil, I should like you to have seen the crops that grew there 1 I measured a crop of carrots at the rate of 1,200 bushels per ore. This was nearly twenty years ago, and it is now the best part of the garden. It don't exhaust. The sand stays there?it cannot evaporate. It would be too nraoh to draw sand for a farm, yet I think it wonld pay well on some partioolar spots for root crops. If the sand is handy, two men and a team will oover ten square rods in a day, ooeting say $60 per acre, and well worth it on a small scale. Have not some of yonr readers sand knolls that they ooold get ready for winter drawing ? B. X. Vain* of Wood Lot*. The Canada Farmer says : " Time was when the wooded part of a farm was considered the least valuable, and was well nigh regarded of no aooount until oleared. Now the opposite condition of affairs is fast coming to be accepted as the true state of the case. Partially cleared farms are bought with the timber estimated as a most important item in the purchase account. Bush land is no longer a drug in the market. Most of it is either already within such easy acoess by railroad, or it is expeoted soon will be, that proprietors are figuring up the profits cf cord wood, and buyers are doing the same. The consumption of wood as fuel by looomotives, makes a steady, enormous drain on our forest resources. Already the prioe of oordwood in our towns and villages has reached what were city rates five or ten years ago. As wood becomes more scarce, its value will go up, until it reaches the coal standard, and that is likely to be raised, from the large demand made for it in manufacturing and railroading." Kludueu to Cattle. A Massachusetts farmer says, in regard to the management of oattle: "My oattle like my oompaoy. When in the }>asture they trill follow me until I eava the lot, and, as a general rule, they come up to the barn-yard every night about sunset, and, in their way, call for a lock of hay. Though I give them all they want, thev take but a few mouthfuls, which satisfies them ; and I am oonfident it does them a great deal of good. It keeps their bowels regular, and they thrive well and are happy. They do much better than they did when I changed pastures once a week; they now have a change of food every day instead of once a week. Cattle need kindness, and they pay well for it. 1 can handle my steers and others as I f lease. They will oome up to me while am milking, and invite me to play with them. The time, I think, is'not far distant when soiling cattle mill be the most profitable where most of the farm can be cultivated. Provide a small lot for them to run in, feed green fodder, save all the manure, and our farms will grow richer." Time to Cut Timber. Dr. Hartwig, who has made numerous experiments to determine the point, states that March and April are the best months in which to cut timber for building purposes, as it then contains its lowest per cent of moisture, whioh he states to be forty-seven per oent. During the three previous months it has nttv-one per cent., ana in tne tnree following ones forty-eight. He further . states that properly seasoned timber should not oontain more thaD 20 to 25 per oent. of moisture, and never less than 10 per oent. If the moisture is removed to a still greater extent the wood loses its strength and becomes brittle. An English authority states that if trees are felled as soon as they are in foil leaf, and allowed to remain undisturbed until the leaves dry up and fall off, the timber will be found well seasoned, the leaves having exhausted all the moisture in the wood. Storing Ice. A cellar under ground, with a stone wall two feet thick, may be filled with ice by turning water from a spring into it, a thin layer at a time, and allowing it to fretfse. If only half the cellar is to be occupied, it will be necessary to put a double partition across it, leaving a space of eight inches or a foot to be filled with sawdust. A lining similarly filled should be made around the part m which the ice is to be stored. The bottom or the cellar will need to be well drained, and a heavy layer of sawdust will be needed upon the top of the ice. But the difficulty which will ocour in cutting out the ioe for use, and which will ari-je from want of drainage, will cause more trouble than the labor of cutting the ice and packing it in the usual way. The cellar would make an exoellent storeh suae for ice put up in the customary manner; but the plan may be worth a trial. Koait Him. Scrape, soak, and wipe the ham. Put :t .

A ham, either baked, boiled, or roasted, may be served warm with mashed spinach or mashed potatoes, or any other vegetables. It is alBo served with apple sauce, or currant jelly, ox tomato sauce. A man in Hinaostan was accused of stealing a sheep and was confronted with the reputed owner in presence of the Judge. Not being able to decide the ownership, and knowing the custom of the shepherds and the habits o. the sheep, the Judge sent one of the men into another room, ordered in the sheep, and asked the accuser to call it to him ; and the animal would not go, but the man in the other room gave a peculiar "cluck," at whioh the sheep bounded to him at once and the ownership decided. t - - ' * ? j . ? The Women's Whisky War. Those who snppose the Western women, who aro waging a war on whisky, , have an easy time of it, are sadly disap- i pointed. Here is an aooonnt from Ohio, ! whieh shows what they have to oontend j against. A letter writer says: Hills boro, Highland County, awoxe to a sensation the other morning. Scattered in all the hallways and posted in the most oonspiouous places was this placard: notice to tbs ladies of hillsbobo. Whereas, Many of yon, among whom are Mesdames Wm. Scott, Wm. Trimble, (seventy-eight more names follow), who are aided by the following named gentlemen: Messrs. ?. L. Ferris, H. 8. Fullerton, and many others. And who, although not directly participating 1 in tout daily proceedings, are never- ] theless counselling and advising you in ' your unlawful proceedings by subsorip- j tions of money, and enoouragement in < the commission of daily trespasses upon my property sinoe the 24th day of De- ' cember last, by reason of whioh my le- : gitimate business .has been obstructed, , my feelings outraged, and my profes sion and occupation sought to be ren- ) dered odious, by reason of whioh I have suffered great pecuniary damage and ' injury. Therefore, you and each of ] you, together with your husbands (or ] such as may have them), and the per- 1 sons who are thus aiding you with their ' money, encouragement, and advioe in j your unlawful proceedings, are hereby ) notified that I cannot nor will not i longer submit to your daily trespasses 1 on my property and injury to my businets. While I am willing to excuse your aotion in the past, I can not submit to each outrages in the future. Cherishing no unkind hostility toward any one, but entertaining the highest regard for the ladies of Hillsboro, distinguished heretofore, as they have been, for their oourtesy, refinement, and Christian virtues, I feel extremely reluctant to have to appeal to the law for protection against their riotous and unlawfal acts. You are therefore hereby notified that if such aotion and trespasses are repeated, I shall apply to the laws of the State for redress and damages for the injuries oooasioned by reason of the praotices of which I complain. All others aiding or enoouraging you by moans of money or otherwise are also notified that I shall hold them re opvunuio 1V1 DUUU VUTtW nuu VUWIM agement. Yours respectfully, W. H. EL DUNN. DETERMINED DOCTOR. Great was the flatter over this proolamation. " What does it mean ?" and "Will he prosecute?" were questions continually repeated. Strange to say, there was qnite an even division of publio sentiment on the streets. But the temperanoe circles' universal sentiment was, " It is the only desperate shot before retreat or surrender. Dnnn is trying to scare the women, and if he can not aooomplish that he will quit." I am afraid they are mistaken about that. Up to the store I found Mr. Dunn dancing aruund like the proverbial hen in the hot griddle; for Mrs. W. Doggett (wife oi the Mayor), and Mrs. Conden (wife of the Methodist minister), had reached tfle store before he did. and insisted on a parley. Ther9 must have been a goodly amount of the gentleman in him by nature or he never could have kept his temper; but he managed to do so after a fashion. There, for nearly an hour, the two ladies alternately argued, pleaded with him, ' and prayed, while half a dozen men stood in the rear end of the 6tore, and others came and went through the side door. The Doctor's remarks were all in one strain : " I am doing a legitimate business, aocording to the laws of Ohio, and all well-recognized rules of morality. I am not a Heathen Chinee that you need to come and pray with me. I tell you again and again in the presenoe of these gentlemen, that I don't want you to pray in my house or come into it except on business. I have treated you as well as I know how, until my patienoe is worn out. I now tell you again to leave, and I will prosecute all who interfere with my business," &o. Meanwhile the ohurch bell rang for the regular nine o'clock prayer meeting; the ladies knelt and offered up a fervent prayer for the Doctor and the temperance canse, and departed for the church. Wagner and Beethoven. Wagner is not the only musioian whose failure to find sympathy and appreciation among the multitude has reacted on himself and stimulated in him what seems to a superficial glance, a towering egotism. Beethoven thus expressed himself:?"I despise the world which does not understand that musio is a more sublime revelation than all wisdom and all philosophy. * * As for me, I am the Bacchus who crushes out the delicious nectar for mankind; it is I to whom they owe the frenzy of mind, and when it is over, behold ! they have fished up a number of things which they bring back with th^m to the shore. * * I have no fridnds, I am alone with myself, but I know that God is nearer me in my heart than he is to others." A Peculiar Strike. The ship-carpenters of Philadelphia now on a strike have determined to make direct contracts for the repair of vessels as well as Bhip-building. They guarantee that all work shall be done in a first-class mumer, as they are oom posed of the BXiiieu mechanics of every ship-yard in the city. Their offer is as follows : " Bills for material to be presented as purchased, without adding a profit to the same ; wages $4 per day, the same as owners have been paying hetetofore to the firms. Every article used to be wheighed or measured bv the Captains or owners, and nothing charged for bat what is squarely and honestly used." What She Woke.?Ladies, of oourse, are interested in knowing "what is worn" by the Qrand Duchess Maria,the newly made wife of the Duke of Edinburgh. One of a number of rich Parisian dresses which formed part of her elegant trousseau will serve as a sample. It is of sky-blue terry velvet, oovered with a tunic of India muslin draped in antique fashion. The material is so light and fine that the whole tunic will pass through a ring. The folds of the corsage are held in place by olasps of fine pearls. The newly-made Duobess of Edinburgh it* a blonde, fair and Jronng, and the dress must be exquisitey adapted for her youth and royal state. Probably it is literally "one of a thousand," and it oost?a mere trifle in roval expenditure?the little sum of Ave thousand dollars in gold i / j | m XLUId CONGRESS. sxkatx.

Dr. George Button, of Aurora, Dearborn County, Indiana, has made the following report to a local paper respecting the cases of triohinosie in that plaoe: " As a number of persons are now lying sick in our city, with symptoms olosely resembling the remarkable disease known by the name of triohinosis, I send yon a few faots which led to the detection of triohin? in the pork which they had been eating, and whioh may be of interest to some of your readers. Un rnaay, jto. ~za, ur. ivcomuub informed me that he bad three patients in one family who he strongly suspected had been made siok by eating diseased pork, and that the symptoms in these cases resembled the disease arising from trichina spiralis. He called to direct the attention of the Board of Health to the supposed cause of the disease. In the afternoon of the same day, Dr. Lamb informed me that he had four patients in one family, who he believed had been made siek by eating | of the same pork which the first patients bad been eating. I obtained a pieoe of this meat and gave it careful a miorosoopio examination with a magnifying power of 600 diameters, but could find no trace of triohinse. "The next day I visited these patients with Dr. Lamb. They had been ufiwell about fourteen days. There was diarrhea, with dysenteric symptoms, nausea and vomiting, pains in the abdomen, soreness of the muscles, slight fever, quiok pulse, red tongue, and thirst. All the patients had eaten of the same pork. Mrs. Threnart. a widow, also one of the sick, informed me that she had two hogs whioh had been fattened during the fall; that one of those hoRS about two months before being killed appeared diseased, but she thought it had entirely recovered, as it ate well and fattened. Thinking it possible that we had examined meat taken from the healthy hojg?as all the meat was salted together in the same barrel? [ obtained a pieoe of meat from each of the four hams. In the first pieoe examined no trace of trichinee could be found. My son, in examining a thin slice from another piece, detected triohinse, and in a small piece whioh I examined, about the thira of an inch in diameter and the twelfth of an inch in thickness. I found five well defined trichinae. He also pointed ont twelve in a piece a little larger, showing that there rnnst have been thonsands in a cubic inch of this meat. These facts are interesting, as they show that it is highly probable that a hog may be fattened in the same pen, and kept in close contact with one diseased with trichinaB. without contracting the disease. They also show that pigs apparently healthy may be swarming with trichinae, making their meat poisonous, [t is said that salting and smoking meat does not always kill trichinn, but there oan be no doubt that all trichinae must be destroyed in meat that is thoroughly cooked.' The Patrons of Husbandry. The oommittee appointed at the last annual convention of the Patrons of Husbandry, in Washington, to revise the ritual, met iu St. Louis. It consists of T. A. Thompson, of Minnesota, the Chairman; J. B. Thompson, of Washington; O. H. Kelley, (who is also Secretary of the convention); Rev. Mr. Qrosh, of Washington; General Wilson, of Des Moines, Iowa; D. H. Robertson, of St. Paul, and Mr. Dudley W. Adams, Master of the National Grange. From the last named gentleman the St. Louis Republican has obtained the following information: The convention or National Grange is the seventh annual meeting. In the works of the order it is denominated Sixth Degree Flora (charity), composed of Masters of State Granges and their wives who have token the degree of Pomona. Past Masters of State Granges and their wives, who have taken said degree of Pomona, are honorary members and eligible to office, but not entitled to vote. There are granges established in thirty-two States and two Territories. There is also in operation a provincial grange organized in Qaebeo.

The or?anization originated in Washington, t has floarished more prosperously in Iowa than any other State. Newton Orange was pat in operation in 1868, at Newton, Iowa, bnt it didn't live, It was not nntil December, 1869, that he (Mr. Adams) organized Orange No. 8. During the next July he went over into Winneshiek County and organized No. 4. By the January following there were organized and in full blast ten State Oranges. The next year the number was run up to a hundred. Iowa now has more than all the other States put together. There is a company in England form* ed for the purpose of making brick from iron slag. The bricks are put on the market at from ?3 to ?5 per thousand, though they can be made at a profit for 50s. The slag brick weigns about two pounds more than the ordinary red brick, is much harder, and, it is claimed, will bear a much greater Btrain. VII TkaonAranilnnt A real healthy man or woman, is a rarity; and what wonder? whon we realize that it is the custom to overload the stomach, and then produce chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, "Tonics,r,"Appetizers, ""Restoratives," etc. Having first produced disease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why "nothing does him good." Just so ; and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find a basis in aloohol?or poison. To all thus discouraged, we can conscientiously say, "make one more trial," Discard spirituons medicines, and give natttbe a chanoe, aiding her in the straggle by using one of her own pare and unadulterated herb remedies, in the shape of Vhikqab Brnxaa.
