AGBXOOLTUBE. DOMESTIC. A Word About Silo#.- So far a# silos constructed and used last season bare come under our observation they hare not withstood well the combined action of ace tic acid and water and moisture. This re lates to silos constructed of stone under ground and plastered with hydraulic ce ment. The cement, under the combmed action of the acid and external water, will crumble and fall off, leaving wide areas of the walls in a denuded condition. In all silos acetic acid is developed to a greater or less extent, and this in the form of va por comes in contact with the lime m the cement and forms a mixed salt, an acetate. When this occurs the wall is weakened and falls as soon as the contents of the silo are removed. It should be known that cemented walls are not impervious to the inflow of water. Although cisterns will hold water, if left empty in wet places water will find its way through from with out, and numerous silos constructed oa the sides of hills where there are springs were found to have several feet of water In them last spring.. Csnsiderable loss resul ted from this cause. All silos should be constructed with drains, and it is very im portant that tne drains should be trapped, so as to prevent a current of air from pas sing in under the contents of the silo. As a rule, where silos are cocstructed under ground it will be betUr to plank them in side of a rough, dry well. The planks will last many 3 ears and need but tew re pairs. If ensilage is to hold its place in popular estimation, much is to be learned in regard to the construction of pits,and in methods of ensilaging. There is little doubt but that the cutting process, which is so expensive and laborious, may be dis pensed with, and it will be found that it is better to partially dry the fodder m the held before putting it into the pits. If 25 per cent, of the water is removed it will cost much less to handle the fodder and the value will not be in the least diminish ed. Tub Chicago 2'ribune says: “There is some reason for thinking that America will soon lead the whole world in the number of distinct breeds of domestic ani mals within her borders, if not in the ag gregate number of individuals of each me ritorious breed, Heavy drafts have this year been made upon the Hereford herds, the Shropshire-down and Oxford-down flocks of England, and she has also sent to us goodly numbers of Norfolk, Buffo) It polled and other cattle; Scottish breeders have sect to us many Aberdeen-Angus, Shorthorn and Galloway cattle; Chicago men are importing Swiss dairy cattle: and Dutch Friesions, Uolstcius and other breeds; aud Shetland ponies. Clydesdales, Percberon Normans, • English shire-bred and other horses, cattle, sheep and dogs in numbers greater than ever before have come to America this year to help the work ot ini proving our domestic animals.” HUMOROUS. Jt may be set down as a rule in stock- raising that cattle cannot be wintered on rough, feed alone in this part of the coun try without losing flush and condition Au occasional farmer.by a little extra care,and with the use of shelter and first-class hay and fodder, may bring his Stockers through decently without grain, but where one cau do this twenty will find their stock badly run down against spring. From the time au animal is allowed to go backward in condition the chances arc against its being a profitable investment. Condition should always be held with at least a tendency toward improvement, if not with a positive gain in that direction. The policy of at tempting to winter stock wholly without grain, will not do, and between adopting it and quitting tbe business the latter course is preferable, Grain is never so Ingb that tne starvation of slock can be afforded. Tux usual food ot swallows and martens is such small flies as they can swallow whole while on the wing, and not such moths as the parent of the army worm. Moths, too, usually fly by night when swal lows are at rest. Swallows consume great numbers of plant lice, and they have been seen sweeping iu small circles about some plum trees aud taking the small-winged flies which pr< duced the lice when these were swarming thickly about the tiee. Sblk. Care in Nubsinci tub Sice. —To those who are called upon to nurse the sick through a long and severe illness it is of the utmost importance, not only to themselves, bat to their patients, that their own health should be preserved and their own strength maintained, not only thronghont the critical stage, but during the period of convalescence, of tentimes so tediously prolonged. To ail such we submit tb 3 following simple precaution to aid them in preserving their own health while nursing the sick: If the malady of the patient be snch as to cause any marked odor of the breath or noticeable exhalations from the skin, take care always to sit on that side of the bed or sick person which is opposite to or away from the direction which the effluvinm takes toward the windows or draught of a fireplace. Sit so that their breath, etc., is earned away from yon. Do not sit too close to them, or take their breath if you can avoid it. To keep one’s own strength in a case of prolonged care, and particularly if obliged to sit up all night for many nights in succession, great beniflt will be derived from taking a warm bath early in the morning, and putting on fresh undergarments every second morn ing, or, if the disease be particularly infections in its nature, it is best to change the undor-clothing every morn ing. It will be found that the warm bath, followed by a brisk rubbing of the whole booy with a coarse Ttukish tow 1 or flesh brush, will refresh the wearied body almost os much as sleep. At the same time keep up the appetite and strength by small doses of quinine, two to five gains tines times a day, and nourishing diet, with perhaps a little wine and water oucasionaly. Obanoe Pie.—Take a teacupful of pulverized sugar and a teaspoonful of soft batter, and mb them till smooth as cream; mix a tablespoonful of corn starch in as little co!J water as will dis solve it, then stir it in a teacupfnl of boiling water; lot tins cook until it is thick, bnt not so thick that it will har den instantly when cool; add this to the butter and sugar. Grate the peel from half au orange, taking care not to grate any of the thick inner skin; add this and the juice of the orange and ene beaten egg to the other ingredients. Make some nice paste and line a moder ately deep pie plate with it, arrange it around the edge ns if for a custard pie; then bake it. Remove it from the oyen and pti't it with the orange custard de scribed above, and to this add thin slices of another large orange. Set this in tbe oven for the egg to harden. If you wish it to be especially tempting, make a meringue of the whites of two eggs and two tablespoonfnls of sugar; splead this over the pie when it is done, and let it brown lightly in the oven. As the season has arrived when curing meat is in order, we republish as of old, our famous recipe for curing beef, pork, mutton, hams, etc., as follows: To one gallon of water, take 11 lbs. of salt, } lb. of sugar, i oz. of saltpetre. In this ratio the pickle can be increased to any quantity desired. Let these be boiled together until the dirt from the sugar arises to the top and is skimmed off. Then throw it into a tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over your beef or pork. The meat must bo well covered with pickle, and should not be pat down for at least two days alter killing, dur ing which time it should be slightly Hjirinkied with powdered saltpetre, which removes all the surface-blood, &o., leaving the meat fresh and clean. me omit boiling the pickle, and find it to answer well, though the operation of boiling purifies the pickle by throw ing off' the dirt, always found in salt and sugar. If this receipt is strictly followed, it will inquire only a slight trial to prove its t upenority over the common way, or mi st ways of putting down moat, and will not soon be aban doned for any other. The meat is un surpassed for sweetness, delicacy and freshness of color. Queer name for a dog: Ram Spill kins is the owner of a very fine dog, which accompanies him in his walks. He was passing Moee Schaomberg’s store, on Austin avenue, when Mose’s attention was called to the dog. Dot ish a sphlentid tog, Mr. Spillkins; vat ish his name?” asked Mose. “His name is Peter,” “Peter?” “Yes, Peter.” “Pe ter—dot ish a very shingular name, Mr. Spillkins.” “His real name, Mr. Schatunberg, is Jnpiter, bnt I always leave off the Jew part ef Jupiter and call him Peter, on account of the high re gard I have for Israelites as American citizens. I don’t like to use the word Jew in connection with the name of a dog. ‘Come here, Peter.’ Do you see how he knows his name ?” Mose beamed all over with joy and made some pathet ic remarks about how much better the .lews are treated in tins country than in Russia, and Spillkins thinks ho has laid the foundation for a trade for a fall over coat on a credit basis. Professor Sanbovn, by feeding large steers witn hay ami four pounds of cotton seed daily, found Hie daily gam to be over two pounds. Again, for forty-nine days, a lot of steers consumed 2105 pounds ot hay and gained 21 pounds. A lot similar in weight, when led on 2190 pounds oi stover, 210 pounds ot fish meal, and 84 of corn meal, gained 131 poueds. He finds a mixture of grain, or cotton-sced meal, with hay, cheaper feeding than hay alone. Alfalta, or more correctly lucerne, has a history enveloped in the mist of antiqui ty. It was known as a valuable fodder plant in ancient Media, 500 years before the Christian era. From Media it found its way Into Greece, thence to the Roman Empire. Piofessor McBrjde tells us that lucerne was among tbe cultivated 1 gumi- nousplants in the days ot Cato, Virgil aud Varro. Lots out for damage from mice if you have Uadi of all kind heaped up around your trees. Many valuable trees are lost every winter by not attending to this lutle peet: he girdles the tree at the ground, and you may not knew anything about it until next simmer, when you find the tree is a dying condition. His time for doing his destructive work is when there is snow on the ground. The female moths ot tbe canker worm cannot fly; but as they hatch out in warm days at the beginning of spring they crawl up the bodies ot apple trees to deposit their eggs. Hence it is of no use setting traps for them to fly into, but a band round Uie tree filled with tar or printer s ink will stop their progress, and with some watch fulness 'hey may be easily destroyed. A quick and effectual method to destroy plantain and other weed pests on lawns is to out the plants off at the crown and drop on th« top of the root two or three drops of kerosene. The lawn will not be defaced by digging, and the work is at once and completely done. When roots are injured, as in transplan ting, the broken roots should be cut smooth and the top cut back in proportion to tbe roots removed. Dead wood is of no use, aud should always be taken off A Fireman’s Fortune. The ' San Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle, ” in an article# on the lire Department of Ban Francisco, gives the following from Asst. Chief Engineer Matthew Brady: “1 have been subject to an aggravating pain m my cheit for over four years. I re sorted to various modes of treatment to obtain relief. I have had my chest terri bly blistered. No physician could tell what was the matter with me. Two weeks ago I commeeced using St. Jacob’s OIL It has cured me.” GuATrrtTDE: “He yon Dr. Hamilton?" asked a countryman who had dropped iu at the office of the eminent New York surgeon. “That’s my name,” respon ded the doctor, “W 41, I thought, as I was in town for a day or two, I’d jest call round and thank ye.” “You’re very kind, but I was not a* are tb it you were under any obligation to me.” “That’s what I came to tell ye about. It’s this way: I’d bees sick for more’n three year with the rheomatiz, all the time a groanin’ and a cussiu and a growl in’, bnt the very minnit 1 see your bill for hovenn’ around our late President, Doc, 1 got well. You can’t spar no time to come out and take a drink, can ye ?” An Illinois correspondent states that ex perience has taught him that cattle will thrive better on good, bright flix straw than on cat or wheat straw, and he never knew of cattle being injured from eating it A hood way to preserve parsnips, beets, and ~erfots for winter use is to pack tnem in dry sand. They will keep fresh and brittle until June. This plan saves the trouble ot digging them out of the ground aa needed. Embroidery on Chip.-Tbe founda tion of tliis work is made of finely plaited straw or rushes, so closely wo ven that they have the appearance of Java canvas, aud are much used for mats to keep heat from furniture. The embroidery is executed in bright-colored silks, and the design and stitches are equally simple. For instance, for a mat with four comers, a central star of twenty-four points would be worked in three shades of bright-colored silk, and where the points meet in the centre one cross-stitch in medium-colored silks should be worked. A corn-flower in one corner could be carried out in blues aud greens, the blossom in pioot-stitcb, the leaves in satin, and the stem in crewel- stitch, In another a rose-spray in nat ural color aud greens, the buds in picot and satin-stitch, the leaves in satin, and Hie stems in crewel-stitch. In the third, pansies could be executed m silks of the natural color, and in the fourth a spray .of forget-me-nots, the buds in French knots and the leaves in satin- stitch, would form an admirable con trast. Physical Exercise.—In a recent lec ture before the Euinburg Health Socie ty Dr. Charles Cathoart pointed out the important part that physical exercise played in the development of the young, and laid down these rules for its regu lation: 1. Physical exercise should te conduct**! in on abandonee of fresh air, and in costumes allowing tree play to the langs, and of a material which will absorb the moisture, and which, there fore, should be afterward changed— flannel. 2. There should always be a pleasant variety w the exercise, and in active mental stimulus to give interest at the some time. 3. The exercise should as far as possible involve all parts of the body aud both sides equal ly. 4. When severe in character, the exercises should be begun gradually and pursued systematically, leaving off at first as soon as fatigue is felt. 5, For young people the times of physical aud mental work should alternate, and for the former the nest part of the day should bo selected. 6. .Active exertion shoold be neither before nor immediate ly after a full meal. To make boots soft and water-proof rub in, on both soles aud uppers, a mix- tore made of four ounces of tallow and one each of rosin and tioeswax, melted together, with a quantity of neatstoot oil equal to the whole added.

Those that have used it agree that it is by far the best medicine known. Its action is prompt, thorough and lasting. Don’t take pills, and other mercurials that poison the system, but by using Kidney- Wort restore the natural action ot all the organs. tt^S“No woman really practices economy unices she uses the Diamond Dyes. Many dollars can be saved every year. Ask the druggist. A lady who possessed a piano which had onoe been good and who was really unaware of the effect which time’s effac ing fingers hod had upon its ancient brilliancy, asked a famous German pi anist to perform upon it and, after he bad obligingly done so, was rash enough to ask him what he thought of it. “Since you press me for an opinion,” replied the eminent artist, “I will tell you first that your piano needs new wires, and secondly that the hammers want new leather. And while yon are about it,” he continued, gradually boil ing up, “with your new leather you had better have new wood, and when your instrument is thus repaired the best thing you can do with it will be to moke it into firewood and have it burned.” Oi c Kxpi'ileriCe from Many. 1 have been sick and miserable so long and hud caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one seemed to Know what ailed me, that 1 was complete ly disheartened and discouraged.
