The olden anc more weather-beaten ihe shingles are, the more benefit derived; snch shin gits are generally more or less warped rongh and cracked. The application, of the wash, by wetting the upper snr face, restores them at once to thei] original or first form, thereby closing the space between the shingles, and the iime and sand, by filling np the crack; and spots in the shingle itself, prevem , ? - its warping for years if not forever. bLUlaDiirinc* As between these two methods o: man tiring?one for the crop, bnt tend ing to exhaust the soil, and the other tc increase the permanent fertility of th( * "* ^ /? ? i > # r 1 . land?tne nrst is aiuogeiner preieraoie _ It is probable that on no land can g?oc crops be produced f< r a succession o: years without adding to its fertility What is taken from the soil by making its plant food soluble is more than cffsel __ by what is added in even the most concentratjsd manures above what can be used. The use of guano has been condemned by seme farmers because aftei a few years it leaves the soil so poor thai nothing will grow.

Selling everything off the farm where guano has been used to grow the crop tends tc sterility. Bat ?o also it would be if the same money were expended in buying stable manure, but making none upon the far a.' The difference is that the stable manure is not so immediately available, aad the process of exhausting fertility would be slower.?Country Gentleniin. rFatlfnin: I'onltry. No fowl over two years old should be fcept in the poultry yard, except fez some special reason. An extra good mother, or a finely feathered bird that is desirable as a breeder, may be preserved until ten years old with advantage, cr at least so long as she is serf viceable. But ordinary fowls should be fattened at the eml or the second year for market. When there is a room or shed that can be closed, the fowls may be confined there. The floor should be covered with two or three inches of fine sawdust, dry earth, sifted coal ashe?, or clean sand. The food should be given four times a day, and clean water be always before the fowls. A dozen or more fowls may be put at ones in this apartment, so that there may not be too many ready to sell at one time. The best food for rapid fattening, foi producing well flavored flesh and rich fat, is buckwheat meal, mixed with sweet skimmed milk, into a thick mush. A teaspoon fal of salt should be stirred in the focd for r. dozen fowls. Two weeks feeding is sufficient to fatten the fowls, when they should be shipped foi sale without delay, and another lot put up for feeding. If the shed is kept dark and ccol, as it should be, the fowls will tatten ail me quicker ior it.?rractical Faun^r. Fccilicsr IIor??>? The following extracts are from the essay read by John E. Russell at the Farmers' Institute at Salem :?"The horse has the smallest stomach in pro portion to his size of any anim.\l. Fifteen or sixteen quarts is its utmost capacity. This space is complete? filled by four quarts of oats and ihf sdiva that goes into the stomach "with it. Horses are generally overfed and **ot fed often enough. For ahorse with moderate work six or eight quarts of bruised oats and eight or ten pounds oi fine hay a day is sufficient. This should De ic?i in ax; leass mree meals, auu is better if fed in fonr. A horse's digestion is very rapid, and therefore he gets hungry sooner than a man. "When he is hungry he is ineffective ana wears out very rapidly. "Water fills the ?--^stomach*, lowers the temperature and dilutes the gastric juice; therefore a horse should not drink immediately before eating. Neither should he be watered immediately after eating, because be will drink too much ai-d force some of the contents of the stomach into the large intestine, which will cans 3 securing. Scouring is also caused by too rapid eating, which can be prevented by putting half a dozen pebbles half the size of the fist into the manger with the oats. Give only a moderate drink of water to a horse. A large drink of cold water before being driven will have a very quieting effect _ on a nervous hor**. A racehorse always runs on an empty stomach. Digestion ^ progresses moderately luring exercise if the exercise is not so violent as to exhaust the powers of the horse. I consider bruised eats worth twenty per cent, more than whole. They xre more completely digested. Prefer oats to any other grain for horses. Cracked corn is very good under some circumstances, but wouldn't use meal or shorts. The disease'called big head is caused by feeding corn. When a horse comes in hot I would give a moderate feed immediately. If the horse is too tired to oat would take his feed away. A heated body is a reason against watering and for feeding, for the system is -s^tEJu-j'ust in the condition to begin digesdon. A horse will not founder if fed moderately when hot. I prefer dry feed tin less a horse Las some disease of the tliroii o;- lungs. Do not consider it wotth Vvhile to cut hay. I always feed hay Irom the floor, then the . horses do net get particles in their eyes." A V.ilaabJp Li'.quiil Manure. A writer in the Journal of Agriculture gives what he considers a very superior method of making a liquid manure with soot and s:al>le manure. A good cask is employed and also a smaller vessel, like a half barrel, or something even smaller, with loose, open joints through which the water nv^I pas.-. The latter, *? -Jf io -fillii/J io f a V>A rvl flt'Pfl in the cask, and the space surrounding ;1 to be filled with water. Take the half barrel and put in first a spadeful of manure and pack it closely down to the bottom and around the sides, so as to form a cavity that will hold a pint 01 more of good soot from the top of a chimney where coal fires are kept burnt; next add another layer of manure, prt ssing it close round the sides as before, then more soot, and so on nutil fall, when a plate or tile should be ^? placed npon the top to prevent it floating. Xjw ins-ert this ia the cask. The sinailer vessel may l?D supported at the height of the c^k by bricks placed on the bottom of the cask, or by a pair of bandies, consisting of two straight sticks seer rely fastened at its top and by Tiijcli it may be carrier. jmu up tne oask -with water, let the smaller vessel remain ior three or four days. lifting it si >ut a few times dnrins? the interrr.1 to r?'ra.ia; then lift it out altogether nnd support it on two sticks across the top and pour a few canfuls cf fresh watei to wash out by displacement the manure left in it, and when sufficiently drained the con*?nts may go back to the manure heap for further decomposition, or be l . made use of in any o'ber way. The ??~-; solution thus obtained forms the st^ck - pot. and may be diluted to any extent BSSBKEHr | according to circumstances. It may be i used either alone, of almost any strength, I /-? ;+ mor ho fnrt'hpr enriched bv the ad 1 | aition of about a teaspoonful of the ' | sulphate of ammonia to each gallon of ! i liquid. Or, on the other hand, a very " j good substitute for gwno will be i; formed by introducing a solution of 1 I chloiide of lime in the place of \ | ammonia.

It is supposed by many that the milk is re' tained in the cow's bag through atmospheric pressure alone; which, however, ' | is not true, since the cow is able to _ | control tins now to a great extent. jli .; the cow dislikes the person employed \ j in milking, or Ms manner of drawing I ; the milk, she will not only refuse to let ' : down the fluid but, by persisting in the I ; effort will soon dry up the sapply. The udder of the cow is composed not only of a bundle of milk veins but also of nerves. The aperture in the teat of the f j cow varies in size with each animal . j milked. In the case of some cows )! this aperture is large and the milk 5 can be drawn away very rap. idly, while in other cows the aperl ture small and any attempt^ to.. f draw the milk from this latter class of cows as rapidly as from the former, will r be attended with much pain upon the I part of the abused animal,and a determi- i . nation on her part to held back the milk. ? This defect in the size of the aperture . of the cow's teat is one which no ma chine can detect, but one which human j ; hand readily observes. Immediately ; upon its discovery the humane milker ) relazes his efforts in forcing away the milk. Tt-. is the smallness of this ar>er tnre which stamps the cow ar a hard | milker. The observant dairyman soon , learns that when he draws too hard the > milk passes back to the bag. In such r a case his efforts must be so relaxed [ that the milk will come away easily , though slowly. Again, when there is inflammation in the cow's udder, the j careful milker readily detects it, and .' quickly sets about with measures to reduce the inflammation and relieve the I cow. By the use of no machine could ; such a difficulty be detected, and seri11 ous consequences might be the result of machine making. A great many bags . would be permanently ruined and many i cows die of milk fever, which would be saved to the owner where miiking by j I hand prevails. It is observed that men j have not become better artisans since i the introduction of machinery. Mana-: gers and overseejs may now understand better the nature of the article i manufactured, the raw material used i and the nature of the machine employed : j tiian was tne case lormeriy, out me j rank and file?the class of men who to. | day operate the machines, and who, be. j fore machines were invented, did the I work by hand?these men understood j ' the nature of the material upon which , they worked better in former times than they do now. And so, in this connec tion, he who has to milk a cow, and do . it well and properly, should know at . least the character and construction of the cow's bag. 1 Rccipes.

" Charging mileage," replied the conj stable, without looking up. " Do I have it all to pav ?" gasped the , rancher. 11 "Yon bet." i " Then tafee-this tame heifer here.

A Tea Cultivator Wanted. The manager of a large tea farm in India appeals, through the Scientific | American, to American inventors for what we may call a spading machine, to be used in the cultivation of tea plants; the machine to be worked i either by bullock or steam power. The tea bushes on the estate m our ; correspondent's care are mostly planted ; four feet by four feet apart, in plots eighty plants broad by four hundred and twenty plants long ; a few acres are planted four feet by five feet and five feet by five feet, in fields of the same i length and breadth. Many tea gardens, however, are planted five feet by five feet. The tea bush grows from three to fonr feet hi^h : it occupies about a square foot of ground at bottom, and at top spreads so that the lines of! bushes ajmost (sometimes quite} touch ; each other. The nearest approach in ! America to a tea field, our correspon-j dent thinks, is a plot of gooseberry bushes, which somewhat resemble the i tea bushes, minus the thorns. In general aspect an ordinary cotton field j might be compared, we imagine, to a: tea field; and possibly a machine;: suited for the cultivation of the one j might be readily adapted for use in the other. The India tea fields are dug by. hand ! from twelve to fifteen inches deep, the upper surface, grass, etc., being turned over and buried and the subsoii brought: up to the top.

The horse hoe or cultivator has been tried, but it does not cut "deep enough, it does not turn the soil over, and it injures the outer stems of the bashes. What is required is a machine working a blade or blades set at right angles to the handle, with an up and down , motion, and so operated as to turn the j soil over.

A machine of this character, able to compete successfully with coolv labor, both in cheapness and efficiency, would bringour correspondent thinks, a small: fortune to the inventor, "as there are i upward of a thousand tea gardens in India hard up for coolies and looking but for something of this kind." We may add that the inventor's riqht may be protected in India by patents.

A young lady who was the recipient 1 of attention from two young men j equally eliV.bie, in point of good looks, social position and financial solidity, : and entertaining similar feelings of friendship for both, was in a quandary as to rrhich to choose, should they pro- j pose. A friend to whom t:he confided ; hsr difficulty suggested that she put; both to some te.fct to prove the strength i 01 their affection. She took the advice, I and to the first who avowed his affec-1 tion said: "You tell me tliat you love me. How do I know that von are sincere ? What would yon do to show yonr love!" "Anything," replied the ardent lover, who had a spice of romance in bis disposition, -'anything, I would go to the world's end for you; I would endure any suffering for you ; I would die for you if necessary." Such ardent protestations brought the blushes to her cheeks and a thrill of; happiness to her heart as she thought^, that certainly ne one could lesj her J* more fondly than he did. She asked, I however, for a little delay before giving him an answer to his suit. Meantime the other proposed and1 she questioned him in like manner to the first. "Weli," said he "I'll tell you what I would do to show my love for you. If you marry me you shall have good clothes to wear. I will see that you are always the owner of a handsome j seal skin sacque and that your hats or bonnets are always in fashion, and Ij will be a faithful, loving husband to j you." "But wouldn'c you go to the world's end for me, or die for me, or any of that sort of thing, you know?" she asked, as she toyed with his coat buttons. "I don't want to go to the world's, end," he replied; "I've got a nice, good i paying business in Boston, and as for dying for you, I'd rather live with you." "Well," said she, as the visions of seal skin sacque, fashionable bonnets, etc, flashed before her mind; "I guess you can speak to pa." The practical wooer is the man for' the times. me norm s i-ociurs. A Parisian journal estimates the total number of recognized medical men throughout the civilized world at 189,000, of whom it assigns 65,000 to the United States, 35,000 to Great Britain and her colonies, 20,000 to France, 32,000 to Germany and Austria, 10,000 to Italy and 5,000 to Spain.

FOR THE FAIR S?X. j t ie A Panama Weddlntr. | ? A private letter irom ranama gives j a the following account of a wedding in a Central America. At eight o'clock we : started to the house, our black maid at 1 E our heels. "When we reached the build- i j. ing I said to her: "Josepha, you can ? now go home." "0," said she, "ye bin ^ la casa prim era" (I see the house first.) f I cannot tell when she came home, for c the last I saw of her she was with a ? crowd of servants as black as herself. T We were usfcered.mto an immense parlor with large velvet mats on the floor, a grand piano, handsome willow furniture c and an abundance of pretty things. a The guests weie seated in a circle in ? the center of the room. After a little . wait the bride came in dressed in white ? satin, made with many plaitings, the train headed with a trailing vine of J1 orange blossoms. She wore also a; ? wreath and a handsome tuile veil. Her | own income, I may add, is four hun- j s dred dollars per month. The groom | j now joined her and they shook hands j with all of us, after which they retired | to the room adjoining, where they wait-; ed until all had assembled. Two love- i ^ ly little girls held her train as we j + marched in procession to the Cathedral. c Arriving" there we fonnd an immense ' crowd of all classes of people, among j? them hosts of negroes. The fonr very j j large steps leading to the altar were | ^ filled with these hordes of men and i r women. I counted fifty-five and then r grew tired of census-making. As soon ^ as Father^Figaro^(the priest who comes , to give our pupiis religious instruction) j: began the ceremony, the crowd closed ^ about the couple, so that no one could see her from the outside. I saw a wo- [ man pushing a little boy with nothing j on but a fragment of an originally very z Rnantv shirt richt on the bride's train. _ After the ceremony we filed back Sain.

T It has its foundation, of course, in _ the desire for beauty so natural in s every woman, and how important a part c an exquisite complexion plays in the s general appearance is recognized when j we note how easily the girl wins the t title of pretty, even if her features are r poor and her dress simple, if she has c a pure, soft, white sirin, that enables her to wear either the colors of blonde and brumette with impunity, and to defy the rough caresses of the sun and wind; while another girl with ; well-cut features and all the advantages of toilet is doomed to the cruel adjective of "plain," on account of a sallow or pimpled complexion, which neither powder nor rouge used in decent quan- e titles f>an r'firtf.pal. i To gain "what nature lias denied, j. women resort to e^erj conceivable de- c vice, from the use of simple lemon- s juice and glycerine up to the elaborate s compounds imported from France and j. expensive treatment of the specialists who promise to make lilies and roses s bloom on a satin-smooth skin. There ]_ are a great many Mme. Eachaels on a a small scale in New York, and each of ^ them has her own particular receipt for s beautifying the epidermis. a One woman has a place on Fifth ave- s nue, where she gives Roman baths lof asses' milk to her lady customers for the trifling sum of $15 each, and she has enough patronage to be making f money fast. s A firm on Broadway that has the f handsomest business parlors in the city, 1 has made a fortune out of a peculiar t sort of a mask to be worn over the face 1: at night.

Others advertise their ability r to supply a new skin, which means they a will remove the old one by powerful e washes. The most "toney" of these s skin doctors live in elegant style, and r make a profound mystery of the lotions t they employ. c Most of them are artful enough to 1 have one or two young girls in attend- r ance, gifted with naturally beautiful v complexions, but really to swear that i they are the result of madame's "balm," e or 4'bloom." One of them, who has a t place near Union Square, employs a f handsomely dressed young lady with a a brilliant complexion to thank her in s the presence of fresh customers for her r new skin. t Yet in spite of all this the only wo- c men who have beautiful complexion are a those born with them. t To say nothing of the compounds c made up in this country, and which r have reaped fortunes for their origina- r tors, cosmetics are imported in thous- s ands of dollars' worth at a time f through the year, and many of them ! contain white-lead and arsenic in such J large proportions as to be positively.! c dangerous and not infrenuently fatal : in their results. The worst of experi- i menting with the complexion is that a when a woman begins she finds a kind of fascination in it that will not allow her to leave off, and the country girl who begins by daubing her forehead and chin with flour, and rubbing her cheeks with a mullein-leaf, as a city lady winds up with Koman baths and Parisian lotions.

As they go southward in the fall, >ur favorite meadow singers, the boborinks, take to the marshes and become eed birds, much sought after by sportsmen and pot hunters.

"No," an expert said to a reporter in answer to a question, "finding pearls in fresh water is nothing new, but somehow the business has received a bcom, and I should say that there were probably two or three hundred nersons spending a pare of their time collecting them. They are found from Texas to Ohio. St. Clair county, 111., and Kutlierford county, Tenn., are good places for them, but the largest was found near Salem, N. J., a number of years ago. It was about an inch across and it soli in Paris for $2,000. TJost of them are very small and sell in lots for small sums, but one large one pays for the time. Along the Ohio river all the ; boatmen and fishermen are in the busi- j ness, especially boys- They wade along i the flats and scoop up the unios with their hands, while others have regular I arrangements for hauling them up by the quantity. The best are perfectly | round and white, with rich orient. The nest shape is the pear. Some are perfect all but one side, and this can be concealed m tne setting. ''Small pearls for use in onyx need not be perfect, as t>icy are half hidden in the setting* so the imperfect ones have a value as -well. The best pearls, i the ronnd ones, are those found in the mantle of the animal. You see, the pearl, either in fresh or salt water, is merely the result of the animal's attempt to protect itself." "Have attempts been made to force ! ] the growth of pearls V" Yes. The great naturalist Linnaeus j ! thought he had discovered a plan to ; cause pearls to grow, -which was to : 1 imitate the parasites already mentioned. ; The pearl mussels were taken from the : water and the shells bored, then placed i 1/vf-f- fr\y -p/vm* AT* "flTTO rOQTC I JL^lU iVi iVUX Vk UI V J , The Swedish Government paid him $1,800 for the idea, but it did not prove a succcss. The Chinese have done well with the pearl oyster. They sprinkle | sand over the beds when the oysters or j mussels are open, and also put little i images in the shells that soon become j coated with a pearly luster. These : can be seen at the Central Park mu- i seum. In Japan a similar plan is . adopted with the unio hyria." "Is it possible to make spurious I pearls?" "It would be hard to deceive a. dealer, but they are made so skillfully ; ; that it is extremely difficult to tell , them. For years a bogus pearl manu- j t factory wa3 carried on at Murano, a little town near Venice. The forms j were made of glass, while the irides- j | cence or orient was produced by quick- ' silver ; but they were chieflv used a3 | beads for the peasantry. Finally, the j French took ud the business, and no- j i * "? * #/?*__ i _ _ xt : ticmg tne ncnness 01 nsnes scaies, mej i used them to produce the luster, ana ; with great success. The dace and the roach were the fishes used. In Italy j the smelt is taken from the Tiber, and j its scales yield an extremely rich secre- j tion or mucus that can be used for the ! purpose ; but to the eye accustomed to j the real pearl these imitations are so much dross, and I can hardly better ex- i press the difference than to say that the spurious ones seem dead and devoid of; the blush and sparkle that is the beauty j of the real pearl. The latter needs no artistic adornment to set it off. Held in the hand and subjected to the closest scrutiny it appears the best." Changes in 3Ien?s Clothing:. It is curious to note how great are : the changes in men's costumes. Looking only at one detail, the waistcoat which last century was the cause of endless extravagance, we find that is now -t ii. i._ i. 1;j I OI Uie ULUUOSO SlliljJliUitJ, ttUU JLO 1W tuc most part hidden by the coat. But the waistcoat had its day. There was a time when dandies made it a matter of : pride to have dozens?nay scores?of waistcoats. In Germany, during the last century, the luxpy was considerable, and the love of display incalculable. One of the ministers under Frederick : the Great used to boast that he had 300 j waistcoats and 300 wigs. "So many wigs and so little head," said Frederick the Great, speaking of him. Men of position w ere required to have a positive musenm of waistcoats in the eighteenth century. There were cloth waistcoats, silk waistcoats, waistcoats in ; velvet, waistcoats in cloth of gold. The waistcoast was a work of art, a painter's | canvas filled with subjects. It was j covered with admirable representations i nf 'nnnfin or onicnHoc rtf fwnrf, SfiPTlftS. of ' famous fables, of village festivals. The ! waistcoat of the gallant of the period ; was enlivened with the pictorial history : of the loves of Mars and Venus, the j marshal's waistcoat was embroidered 1 with military scenes, while one of the court dandies acquired fame (which he 1 would not otherwise have enjoyed) by reason of the illustrations of popular : plays to be seen on his manly breast, j The rage for these illuminated waist- : coats lasted till the end of Louis XIY's I reign. The buttons by which these j garments were fastened were not less j worthy of notice. They were, for the most part, of about the size of our silver dollars, and were in steel, in silver, in precious stones, sometimes even in dia- j monds. The Count d'Artois, afterward ! Charles X, was celebrated for the magnificence of his buttons, some of which were in enamel, and embellished with miniatures of the celebrated beauties, of j classic heads of the gods and goddesses. ; Some men of lower type wore on their buttons the portraits and initials of the queens of their hearts. The revolation ! brought about some changes. The j waistcoat was shortened, and its buttons [ bore the portrait of Robespierre, who j was known among dandies as the man ' with the best powdered hair in France, | or of Saint Just, or Fourquier Tinville, or others. But this fashion soon disappeared, and the waistcoat has gradually lost its importance as an article of mas- j culine apparel, and is now considered useful as a depot for the watch, but as an ornament is none.

Mr. E. Rugg jes spoke from personal experience in stating that he had suffered a great deal Bt? from rheumatism, and been troubled at ^ different times with sore throat. He c0] purchased a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil ^ha from Mr. Pyle, and after three or four applications was relieved of his ailment. Asking Mr. W. A.
