AGB1CCLTUBE. 6ebk Moki Light.—Farmers, Insinnch as their interests and empl^jmenU arc more raned than any other industry or profession, require a greater fund of prac tical knowledge. That farmer who hoots at the idea of “book farming" is in the most hopeless condition. When a man is loo wise in his own conceit to learn, he is generally too ignorant and too full of pre judice to comprehend the plainest and most important precept These self im portant taimers are generally on the down eradc, and no ordinary check will have the least effect on them for the better. A far mer must, to a great extent, learn of others, and this must necessarily be mainly done by reading. Theories and instructions on agricultural subjects are more reliable when printed than those which are merely verbal. Public declarations of facts and theories are subject to criticism, ahd thus the truth on almost any subjest can be eiicted. Hence articles in newspapers are prepared with moae care than the mere declaration of opinions in a verbal way. And it would be difficult to find a farmer who is now pursuing the advanced system ot agricul ture but what takes and carefully reads from one to five papers on the subject of bis greatest! interest. He does not always greedily adopt all he reads. He compares investigates, criticises, and thus awakens and strengthens his own mind. In this way truth is developed. Light is thrown on dark or doubtiul subjects, i here is no doubt that the great advance which has been made in agriculture in die past 25 years, is mainly indebted to the invigorat ing and inspiring influence or the agricul tural literature of these later days. And it is about a settled question that the far mer who is not supplied with reading on the subjects of his business and interest is yet In darkness. Ho other domestic animal gives as full, quick and easy a return for gram feed as the pig. When rationed for the sbambles the expenencod eye of the feeder can a! most measure the ratio of gram per day. Tbc healthy porker is so well regulated t machine for the conversion of corn into ilesh that the former who feeds by a regu lar system can generally tell about how much pork a given quantity of grain will produce. It is comparatively easy, there- lore, as compared with other stock, to tel) just when and to what degree pork pro duction is profitable. These things, cou pled with the fact that a crop of bogs can be bred, raised and marketed almost while tlie feeder is laying his plana for growing and ripening cattle and shcep,bave render ed hogs more popular as a market product than any other class of domestic animals: and there are vastly more producers of hogs in this coantry to day than of cattle and sheep combined, while it is perhaps (rue that three-fourths of the meat produc ers prefer beef to pork as an article of food. DOMESTIC. HUMOROUS. A Goon Wkkukk,—Get your blacksmith to cut out a piece of piece of plow steel 3 inches wide and six inches Jong for the blade. By drilling two holes in the centre lie can fasten on the shank for the handle, which should be forked and provided with a socket for the insertion of the handle, and should be set at an angle of forty-Jve degrees to the plane of the blade. Tbe 2 long edges should be drawn thin and shar pened. You have now one of the most effective weeding hoes ever invented, and it is not patented. It has a double edge, and can be worked equally well by pulling or pushing. It passes along jast under or on the surface and effectually cuts off eve ry weed between the young plants in the row without too much disturbance of the surface. It is not intended as a cultivator of course, but as a weeder is hard to beat. Tnx fact that corn possesses deep roots may offer au explanation as to why corn in a certain measure seems a renovating crop, and it is believed by some to obtain nitrogen from the atmosphere or tome source of supply not furnished by our fertilizers, because these roots very proba bly bring nitrogen from the lower areas of the soil as well as the water. The facts of culture add some support to this view. Upon pasture land in Hew England which has become run down and which seems incapable of glowing grasses any longer m luxuriance, corn may be planted without fertilizer with the almost certainty of a more than average crop, while the reports from many parts of the country upon the use of fertilizer indicates that less nitrogen needs to be applied than theory would seem to indicate as necessary. A mKURSK of the Oxford (Ohio) Farmers Club claims that it is no trick to raise five hundred bushels and even one thousand bushels per acre of mangold wurtzels, in a good season on good land, with the same labor needed Vo raise an acre of potatoes. The roots should be pitted just as winter closes up the ground, and kept In the pit until March. Then they are ripe, the sac- cachariue matter is abundant and the fibre tender, and the cows ready to appreciate the change from any feed, He thinks mangold wurtzels the cheapest green food lor that season that can be produced, but leeds ground teed and bay witb them. He prefers to pit them till March aud remove them, a cart-load at a time, to his bank barn, and has no trouble about freezing. Ccitisq th* Culls,—Milch cowe are greatly benefitted and will increase and mionUdn the flew of milk if fed upon the little potatoes, Irish or sweet, wnich are lett over from the crop, and are too small to sell or use at home. But they should be cut fine. A good plan is to have a trough or sum box in which, after washing, the potatoes can be cut with a common spade; but a better piau is to take an old spade or hoe or fire shovel, and by attaching a stout short handle, provide an implement ex- preasly for the purpose and save the wear and tear and rust of the spade. Formic acid, whicu la the acid obtained from ants, is identical in kind with the acid of wasp and bee springs. Professor Redway, of Calfornia, has discovered that it is valuable to prevent fermentation. If wanted for this purpose in quantities it can be cheaply obtained by heating oxalic acid. In refining honey the formic acid, which it always contains is expelled, and it nas been found that refined honey is very difficult to preserve, while natural honey keeps without fermentation a long time. In France when poultry are dressed, the waste products are scrupulously saved. The feathers are carefully collected and sorted, and when well dried are sold to dealers. Ihe intestines are boiled, the fat skimmed off, minced as food for poultry, and the liquor fed to pigs. The combs and kidneys are sold to pastry cooks, the first for decorating and the latter for pies. The head, neck and feet are sold to hctels, restaurants, etc., for flavoring sauces, or boiled dowu to make chicken jelly. Fbxquxhtlt the British farmer expends in a single year as much m making a crop as would by an equal number of acres in the cu' rivaled and older portions of this country. Tnx culture of Indian corn is increasing in Australia. It is said that 15 cents per bushel covers the cost of cultivation and Larveotmg. Piutaked Ekkf,—People who be come tired of tbe ordinary meat diet who are not well and find it difficult to digest meats cooked in tbe usual way, wifi, perhaps, be interested in a new. method of preparing beef. It is espec ially recommended for invalids, partic ularly consumptives. The theory is that a majority of diseases arise from urprovished blood, aud that a ooutin- ed diet of the digestible part of beef is most effectual in enriching the blood, and thereby improving the general lealth. The meat should be chosen with care, selecting the best beef, and taking about the third cut of the round. For the daily use of one person, when : t\is used as the entire diet, about three pounds is required. This should be relieved of all the fat av.d bone, and then out into pieces some three inches square. These are placed iu the pail of patent beef chopper, and chopped for five or ten minutes vigorously. At the end of that time the muselea pulp which has collected on the top should be scraped off with a spoon, and the same process continued until nothing but fibres remain at the bottom of the paiL The pulp which has been collec ted is then pressed into round, flat cakes and broiled over a quick fire. It should be seasoned with salt, and for a relish, butter, pepper, lemon, or any sauce may be used. Enough beef will remain on the fibres to make quite a little soup or beef tea. All About Braised Behf: Take from four to six pounds of beef from She round or the face of the rump. Trim and tie in shape. Rub the meat well with salt, pepper and flour. Cut two onions, one-liaJf of a small carrot, one- half a small turnip very fine and fry them until a light brown- in Ealt pork fat or drippings. Skim them out in a braising pan, then brown the meat all in the seasoned fat, adding more fat if necessary. Put the meat, when brown ed, into the pan, add one quart of boil ing water and a tablespoon ful of mixed herbs. Cover closely and cook in the oven four hours, basting every twenty minutes. Turn over after two hours. When tender take up the meat, remove the fat from the gravy, add more salt and pepper and thicken with flour cooked in butter. Cook ten minutes and strain over the meat, or serve with horse-radish sauce. Milk Soup. —Wash, pare, slice and parboil one pound of potatoes, pour away the water; skin and scald two onions, chop them; place the potatoes, onions, one tcaspoouful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pepper in a stewpan, with one quart of cold water; bring to a boil aud boil till quite soft (about a half-hour); crush the potatoes and on ions with a spoon till smooth, add one quart of new milk and one ounce of crushed sago; stir continually till it boils, then boil for ten minutes. This soup may be made richer by adding one ounce of butter or dripping to the quart of cold water; also by putting a yolk ot an egg, well beaten, into the tureen, and mixing the cooked soup slowly with it. The soup must be off the boil, or the egg will curdle. Rkcipb fob LiinNO Eoos,—For lim ing eggs a pickle is made of pure stone lime, flue, clean salt and pure water in the following proportions: Six to eight quarts of salt, sixty to sixty-five gallons of water and one bushel of lime. The stronger the lime water and the more free from sediment the better. Slack the lime with a portion of the water, then add the remainder of the water and salt. Stir well three or four times at intervals and then let it stand until well settled and cold. Either dipr or draw off the clear pickle into the cask or vat intended to preserve the eggs This is on a large scale, but may lie proportioned according to judgement for family use. Directions for Making Bread Saucr: Dry and roll one cup of stale bread crumbs; then sift them. Boil the fine crumbs, which will measure one- third of a cup, with one pint of milk and one tablespoonfui of chopped onion, for fifteen minutes. Add one table spoonful of butter, one-half a teaspoon ful of salt and ono-half a saltspoonful of pepper. Fry the coarse crumbs in a tablespoonful of hot browned butter, stirring with a fork until they absorb all moisture. Put the white sauce in the platter with the grouse or other birds and sprinkle the brown crumbs over all. To Cook Braised Calf's-hbart: Wipe the heart well and stuff it with cracker crumbs seasoned highly with salt, pepper, thyme and onion and moistened with melted butter; lard, dredge with salt and pepper, put it iu a small braising pan and half cover with brown gravy. Bake one hour or until tender, basting often. Serve with sauce piquant, made as for any brown gravy and seasoned with lemon or vinegar and chopped pickles, A recipe for larded grouse: Singe and clean the birds, then wash and wipe dry. Lard the breast and legs; truss them, theu dredge with salt and pepper, rub with soft butter and dredge with flour. Bake in a very quick o’JoL, twen ty minutes, if liked rare, thirty if they are to be served well done, Serve hot, with bread sauce, garnish with parsley. How to Make Horse-radish Sauce:' Four tablespoonfuis of grated horse radish. four tablespoonfuis of powdered Ci acker, half a cup of cream, one tea- spoonful of powdered sugar, one tea spoonful of sail, half a eedtspoonful of pepper, one teaspoonful of made mus tard, one tablespoonfui of vinegar or enough to give it a good sharp taste. Mix all together and heat over hot wa ter. All’s well that ends well: “I wish I was the trapper and was tie I to the stake, going to be burned alive by the Indians,” said little Johnny Fizzletop, who was reading a dime novel on the sofa. “Why do you wish to be in such a horrible predicament?” asked his mother. “Because, in the last chapter, the trapper scalps Jeewhilikins Jim, the Jumping Jackass of Juniper Jungle, and his Indian allies, and carries off White Fawn, the lovely maiden, in tri umph to his mountain fastness.” “I think there is too much fastness, any how, about the boys of Austin,” re marked his mother, thoughtfully. Harrassmg Dreams.—An unnatural ex citement of the brain and nervous system is the direct cause of sleeplessness, as also ot harrassing nocturnal dreams. Vegetine has a peculiarly soothing effect in all such cases, when taken just before going to bed. A lucky man: “Nothing exasperates me so much as to hold a lottery tioket and find that the very next number has won a prize,” remarked Pete Freer to Harry Andrews. “I came closer than that to winning the big prize in the Louisiana Lottery.” “How was that possible?” “Well, yon see, there was a raffle here in Austin for a clock and I threw the identical same number that won the big prize in the Louisiana Lot tery.” “Did you win the oloek ?” “No; how much good luck do you suppose a a man can have all at once?” Those who use Uarboline, as now im proved and pertected, the great petroleum hair renewer, are always distinguished by the beautiful eo r t texture of the Lair pro duced by the use of that most exquisite of all toilet preparations. Mary Jane and Dickey: “Mury Jaue,” said Dickey, “why would Lot have be n a better captain for the ark than Noah?” “Why," said Mary Jane. “B cause,” said Dickey, “Mrs, Lot was an old salt.” “Dickey,” said Mary Jane, “you are a very fresh youug woman.” Something awful: They were talking about the Frizzle girls and the efforts they make to keep up with the fashion with very little cash help from their parents. “Why,” said one of the gos sips, "Fannie Frizzle actually paints dinner cards tor money! isn’t it awful!” He was a pretty close man, without doubt. At breakfast he cut an egg in two and gave the new hired man one- half of it. The help ate it, and held out his plate for more. “What 1” gasped the host. “Want a hull egg?” “Oi course I do,” said the man. Tbe Loss stared blankly at him a mo ment, and then pushing the half egg across the table, snappishly cried— “Take it, eat it, and kill yourself I” The man ate it, and is still alive. We can, without hesitation, say that Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup has given the best satistaction. We have sold an im mense amount of it during the past winter. WALLACE, HILTON & CO.. Druggists, Lock Haven, Pa, No time to lose: “Every time I have seen you lately you have been in an in toxicated condition. You seem to have become quite dissipated.” “No, it's not that, but I’ve got some disease of the kidneys that I am going to see a doctor about, as soon as he returns to Austin from the north.” “What has that got to do with your being intoxica ted?” “Well, you see, the doctor is going to forbid me drinking anything strong, and he is expected to return every day. so I have no time to lose. 1 care that Cold.

K. K. Helphenstme, Washington, D. C. Tales after papa: A visitor at the Percy Yerger mansion, on Austin Ave nue, remarked, as he caressed little Mollie Yerger: “She takes after her pa pa and has got his hair.” “No,” said the little cherub, “it’s not me that takes after papa and gets his hair. It’s mamma who does that when he comes home tight.” Ladies and children’s boots and shoes cannot run over if Lyon's Patent Heel Stiffeners are used. Campaign echoes: An Austin gentle man who went out hunting near Mount Bonnell was surprised to hear some body calling out: “Thieves—scoundrels —lost cause—kept down by Federal bayonets!” “What in the mischief is that ?” asked the hunter. “It is nobody. There was a lawyer out here a week ago, practicing to take the stump for Ireland, and the echoes haven’t been able to calm down yet. But they are much weaker than they were three or four days ago.” ’Humanity’s great hope for the future is alone to be realized in improved condi tions of matrimony. What a profound obligation does this fact involvel Those who realize the responsibility can hardly do better than take advice from Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham whose wonderful re medies for the cure of all diseases pecu liar to women are so justly celebrated. Bend for pamphlet. Girl’s shouldn’t whistle: “If,” says the Phrenological Journal, “whistling will drive away the blues, why shouldn’t the girls whistle?” Pshaw ! if they did, tbe puppies would run after them more than ever. Spelling it with a “que:” The fash ion journal says: “Checks are now in style.” Not by the locks of our sub scriptiou lists. Why Saul threw his Javelin: An old 1 Scotch lady from the country was visit ing some friends in the city last Sunday, and went with them to church. After I returning from service she expressed her dislike to the music and especially to an anthem. “Why, that is a very old anthem; David sang it to Saol,’ said her host. “Weel, weel, I now tor the first tame mlderstan’ why Saul threw ] his javelin at David when the lad sang for him," was the old lady’s reply.

Kidney Complaints. CURED ME. Rochester, Nov. 28,187A H. R. Stkvbns, Esq.: DearSlr—I have suffered for the last three or four years with Liver Complaint and kidney troubles Previous to taking the VEGETINE I was under the doctor’s care for a long time but he did not help me. My friends all thought I would not recover. I began using the VEGETINE, and realized good effect from It right away. 1 had taken but three bottles before I was much better. I continued taking a few bottles more, and can now truly say I am enjoying the best of health. I have given It to ray little daughter with great suc cess. Since It has done me so much g >od, I have recommended It to several, and they have all been greatly benefitted by Its use. Respectfully, J. C. SMITH, 24 S.
