Chat Forruzu*. —Nearly every f»r-
m«r goet to the neereat village to trade,
viait a mechanic, or obtain hia letters or
papers at least once a week. He often
takes a load to market, but he rarely brings
one home. He can, with very little trou
ble, haul a load of material that may be
ootained for nothing, and which will be of
great benefit to his land. Most village
people make no uae of the ashes produced
la their stoves or of the bones taken from
the meat they consume. Scarcely any
brewer has any use for the hops that have
been boiled m his vats, and the blacksmith
hardly ever saves the clippings he lakes
from the feet of horses, All these materials
make excellent manure. A barrel of sha
vings cut from the hoofs of horses contains
more ammonia than is contained In a load
ot stable manure. Applied to land with
out preparation they might give no imme
diate result*, but they would become de
composed in tune and the crops of all kinds
would derive benefit from them. They
may be so treated lhat they would produce
immediate results. By covering them
with fresh horse manure they will decom
pose very rapidly. They may also be
leached in a barrel and the water that cov
ered them drawn off and applied to plants.
Water in which pieces ot horns and hoofs
have been soaked is an excellent manure
for plants that require forcing. It stimu
lates the growth of tomatoes, rosebushes
and house plants very rapidly, and emits
no offensive odors. A vast amount of fu
ll Using material is wasted in towns that
farmers would obtain the benefit of with
little trouble.
An AauouLTUBAL Hint. —Young farm
ers frequently have no capital to buy a
farm, and are compelled to rent Pint,
get as good s farm as you can, and for as
long a time*—not less than five year/. A
man must know his ground before he can
realize much fiom it Second, raise what
your soil is adapted to. If billy and rough
raise more stock. Don’t try to cultivate
side hills; it doesn’t pay. Use all the ma
nure you can get. Sow clover rye and
peas and turn it under, and keep your
ground. It will pay you, and it will pay
your landlord. A man who keeps his farm
up in a good state of fertilization is the
kind of a man the latter wants Third,
sad last, keep a journal. Hole down all
things connected with your business, time
te sow and plant, cost of production, how
cultivated, time of gathering, what you
realise, etc. Then you compare one year
with another, and where you bare failed
try and remedy next year. Ask advice of
every one, but draw your own conclusion/.
Farm and you will do well.
In treating cows for horn onttleness a
stock-raiser in Austria found no good re
sulting from feeding bone-meal when the
water used from a spring was perfectly
soft—that is, without mineral matter. But
upon changing them to the water of an
other spring, containing carbonate, sul
phate and phesphate of lime and chlorate
of magnesia in small quantities, the effects
were as follows: First. The animals
drank half as much as before. Second.
The cows gave more and better milk than
before. Third. The worst diseased cows
at once began to get better, and this was
the first case in which any of them recov
ered without removal. Fourth. The oxen
showed far oetter condition than could be
previously attained on the best of food and
with the most careful attention. Fifth,
No fresh cases occurred as soon as the
change of water was introduced.
M. Bawl of the National Agricultural
Society of France, anticipates that within
thirty years as greet a revolution will have
bees effected by electricity aa has oeen
affected by steam in the last thirty years.
Among uses to which it has already been
put tor agricultural purposes he mentioned
Defoy’s curb bit for breaking horses, the
electno sieve used in mills, experiments of
the use of electric light on plants, the
Felix electric plough and saws—one a cir
cular saw, which cute up whole trunks of
trees into planks; the other a vertical saw,
which does the finest kind of work. Elec
tricity is also employed successfully for
ajtlficial incubation; and also for “trying”
eggs-
Tbi wheat crop this year is unusually
heavy, in many sections weighing sixty-
two to sixty-three pounds per measured
bushel It is also what is called strong
wheat, the excess of gluten giving it the
inciessed weight, as gluten is heavier tii»n
starch. This large proportion of gluten
and heavy weight is, probably, the result
of the moist, cool weather as the wheat
heads were forming. It has been noticed
that the best wheat is alwas grown in cool
seasons, and that it is more glutinous on
low than on high gravelly soil. Daring
the past tummer there was moisture
tnough while wheat was filling to mairc
the highland crop as good in quality as
the lowland.
An extensive grower of winter squashes
near Chicago keeps the squashes, in a dry,
well ventilated house at a uniform tempe
rature of forty-eight degrees. He places
them on shelves, two deep, is careful in
handling them, and examines them occa
sionally after they have been kept some
time, and removes any that show signs oi
decay. In this way he is able to keep
them over s year, and take advantage ol
the market at home or at the East, He
has sold a cargo in Chicago as high as $90
per too.
Mb. Dillon, of Brighton, Iowa, gives
his experience with ahesp in 1880 81. “in
1880, ” he writes, “I sheared 140 sheep,
averaging 2 pounds to a fleece, or $2 in
value to a sheep, and raised 90 lambs worth
$2.60 per head. In 1881 i sheared 200
head and sold $812 worth of wool and
raised 76 lambs; besides I lost many lambs
by the late spring and severe winter.
Neither did the sheep shear so heavily as
the year previous.”
Bt means of the drainage of land the
various chtnucal actions which take place
through the action of the atmosphere on
the surface soil are carried down to a grea
ter or less extent into the subsoil, for as
the water-level is lowered the air enters
from above to fill the cavities in the soil.
By drainage, also, the depth to which
recta will penetrate is increased, for roots
will not grow in the absence of oxygen,
and rot as soon as they reach a permanent
water level
It is a good idea to select potatoes that
an to be planted next Spring as they are
dug in the Fall, and then give them good
care hi the winter. Choose tubers from
vigorous growing plants and those that
are fully matured.
Fbozkn routs, or, indeed, frozen food of
any kino, is very pernicious to swine and
all ether stock, at it is apt to scour them
badly, and In any event disturbs their di
gestion and renders the other food taken
into the stom*ch ( less nutritive to the adi-
mak.
It is said that u England a new uae
has bean discovered for damson plums.
Farmers are planting quite largely, less

DOMESTIC.
Fanot Wokx.—Very handsome, pan
els and plaques are made of plush. A
foundation the desired shape and size is
out out of pine wood a quarter of an
i>ich thick. The plash is fitted nioely
over this and glued in place. Very
thick gum arabio is good for the pur
pose. The back is covered with dark
oambrio of suitable color. These panels
may be long and narrow or nearly
square. They are pretty with photo-
graplts mounted on the plash, or satin
ribbon fastened across diagonally and
painted with delicate flowers. Hand
some designs painted in oil on the plash
itself are very fashionable. The plaques
are made in a similar way, and decora
ted as taste may dictate. Among the
odd fancies in decorated articles are
•creens made of matting, and ornamen
ted with hand painting. This matting
is also used for panels. In brightening
up the furniture of a rocjn, and giving a
fresh look to old chairs which have
grown rnsty, a yard or so of cretonne or
plush, if a rich material is desired, goes
a great ways. A pretty, bright cushion
for a cane-seated rocker or easy chair,
with a narrow, long pillow, covered
with the same material, tied on the back
wfth pretty satin ribbon bows, will so
change the old affair that one will hard
ly know it.
Onh of the best omelets we have ever
eaten is made after Catherine Owen’s
recipe: Take the crumb of a slice of
bread, soak it in hot milk (cold will do,
bat hot is better), beat up the whites
of four eggs to a high froth; mix the
bread with all the milk it will absorb,
no more, into a paste, add the yelks of
the eggs with a little salt, set the pan
on the fire with an ounce of batter.
Let it get very hot, then mix the whites
of the eggs with the yelks and bread
lightly, pour in the pan, and move
about for a minute; if the oven is hot
when the omelet is brown underneath
set the pan in the oven for five minutes,
or until the top is set; then double half
over, and serve. The advantage of this
omelet is that it keeps plump and ten
der till cold, so that five minutes of
waiting does not turn it into leather,
the great objection to omelets generally.
If you nave any donbt in regard to
the age of a turkey cr any large fowl, it
is a wise precaution to steam it until
yon can lift the wing from the body
with ease. Do not staff it before steam
ing, but two or three stalks of celery
may be placed in it, and they will give
a delicious flavor to the meat. It is
better to use twine than skewers to keep
the turkey’s limbs in proper place, there
is so much danger of tearing the shin.
It should be the cook’s am to preserve
the good looks of the fowl as far as pos
sible. If it is well dredged with flour,
after it is put in the dripping-pan to
roast, and then little lumps of butter
laid on, it will help to give it the desired
delicate brown.
SncAMXD arrowroot pudding is a nour
ishing dish. Mix two tablespoonfuls of
the root with one cupful of milk; stir
till it is smooth. Put a pint and a half
of milk on the stove in a farina kettle.
When it is boiling stir in the arrowroot;
stir it well, and remove from the fire in
two or three minutes. When it is cool,
not cold, stir in three well-beaten eggs,
a heaping tabiespoonful of sugar, and a
cableepoonf ul of brandy. Put it then in
a well-buttered mould; cover it tightly,
and let it steam for an hour and a half.
When done, tom from the mould on a
dish, and serve with raspberry jam.
Whu’ped coffee cream for one who
likes the coffee flavor is perfectly deli
cious aa a last morsal at a formal dinner
or an afternoon lunch. Take two oun
ces ot coffee beans and roast them; while
fresh and still warm put them in one
pint of rich cream, which you have
sweetened liberally with sugar. Let
this stand for an hour; then strain it
through a muslin cloth laid in a colan
der; dissolve a teaspoonful of gelatine
in a little cold milk, and add to the
cream; then whip it to a firm froth.
The gelatine may be dissolved in a little
orange water, or lemon extract if you
ohoose.
A very appetizing sauce to serve with
broiled mackerel is made by melting a
little butter, adding the juice of one
lemon, and a teaspoouful ot chopped
paisley. This mt y be poured over the
fish, or served in a bowl and added by
each one at the table to his or her por
tion of fish. An authority on cooking
recommends letting mackerel lie in
enough milk to cover it for an hour be
fore broiling; this to be done, of course,
after the fish has been freshened over
night in cold water.
Colo roast beef is very nice broiled.
Cut It into shoes about a quarter of an
inch thick and have it as rare as possi
ble; sprinkle with pepper and salt and
put it on the gridiron and let it heat
quickly; turn it over four times in the
same number of minutes, and serve
when hot on a dish with melted butter.
Baking Powder Bisooit.—Into two
quarts of flour, sift fine teuspoonf uls of
baking powder, mixing it in evenly
Bub into this a piece of lard the size of
half an egg. Mix with good sweet milk
into a soft dough. Do not knead. Roll
medium thickness, out out with a bis
cuit-cutter, and bake in a very hot oven.
Pains in the bowels may be mitigated
or removed by applying to them robber
bags of hot water,, or folds of woolen
cloths wrong out from water »s hot as
can be borne. The same thing is true
of face-ache, ear-aches and of most aches
and pains.
A very good idea for the brightening
up of a nursery or play room consists in
decorating the panels of the doors by
the insertion of brightly colored litho
graphs, fitting them into the panels and
framing them, if necessary, with a nar
row beading of gilding.
Colored table-covers for dining
rooms are of linen plush, and are to b«
had in all colors. The centre is per-
fectly plain, and the bordering, which
is usually deep, is stamped in arabesque,
Moorish, or geometrical designs to
harmonize with the latest style in car
pets, which is entirely of that character.
Fob celery there is a new eat glass
dish in the shape of a lily mounted on a
silver stand. It ia very pretty, and
seem* to have taken the place of the
fish knives aud tablespoons among wed
ding presents.
Double portiere are no longer in
fashion. A single one hanging suspen
ded from rings upon a pole, is plainly
drawn across the doorway or entry to
be concealed, and when necessary is
looped up at one side.
Bomb of the window-shades for houses
are of fine cream colored linen, up>n
which unconventional designs have been
painted in water colors. They look
very well from the interior, but are leas
effective from the outside.
HUMOROUS,
I onob knew a young fellow as went
across. Before going he made himself
pretty fresh with the inspectors. He
was a dandy in dress and pnt ont his
oigars lively. Well, by and by that
same fellow returns with the ends of
his month down to his shoulder. As
soon as he strnok the pier he kind o’
cried that he had “gone broke” on the
other side, and when he came to open
his trumks he showed a pretty large
patch on the places he used to sit down
on. His elbows had patches, too, and
so had his knees. His clothes looked
as if they had been in a rag-picker’s bag,
and beyond a little clean linen he had
nothing in his trank. He walked on
the dock with his ulster over his arm,
aud the boys kind o’ pitied him. Well,
the fellow got away with a clear $1,8C0,
’cause he had laces under bis patches,
in his ulster, and Heaven knows where
he didn’t have them stuffed. The boys
got clear off the track
A Fireman’* Fortune.
The * Ban Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle,”
in an articles on the Fire Department of
Ban Francisco, gives the following from
Asst. Chief Engineer Matthew Brady: “I
have been subject to an aggravating pain
m my chest for over four years. I re
sorted to various modes of treatment to
obtain relict I have had my chest terri
bly blistered. No physician could tell
what was the matter with me. Two
weeks ago I commeeced using Bt. Jacob’s
Oil. It has cured me.”
These died a few weeks ago an old
man who may be mentioned here as
Union Reube. For thirty years he sold
his vote as often as there was an election,
making no bones about it aud accepting
the market price without a murmur.
One fall, ten or twelve years ago, he
went to the man who had generally
bought him and said: “Mr. Blank, I
guess I won’t sell my vote this time. ”
“Yon won’t? Why, what on earth ails
you, Uncle Ran be?” “Well, I want to
see how it seems to oast a free ballot
once,” “You’d better take the usual
two dollars.” “No, I guess not; I’ll
try it the other way ouce, even if it kills
me.” He kept to his resolution and
cast a free ballot, bat he didn’t feel
right over it, and at the next election he
insisted on having four dollars to oover
arrears.
“Many silly peeple despise the pre
cious, qot understanding it.” But uo one
despises Kidney-Wort after having given
it a trial. Those that have used it agree
that it is by far the best medicine known.

Don’t take pills, and other mercurials that
poison the system, bat by using Kidney-
Wort restore the natural action ot all tha

CLARa’s Christmas present: Charley

exclaimed in well-disguised astonish

One Evpertenc* from Msny,
I have been sick and miserable so long
and had caused my husband so much
trouble and expense, no one seemed to
know what ailed me, that 1 was complete
ly disheartened and discouraged. In this
frame of mind I got a bottle of Hop Bit
tera and used them unknown to my fami
ly. 1 soon began to improve and gained
so fast that my husband and family
thought it strange aud unnatural,but when
1 told them what had happened me, they
said, “Hurrah for Hop Bitters I long may
they prosper, for they have made mother
well and ua happy.”—The Mother.
“What’s the size of this place?”
gravely asked a New Yorker, of the
conductor, just after the breakman had
sung out “O-pe-Ji ka” at a southern
station, where not a house was visible
among the pines, except a rambling
shed called an “eating saloon.” “It’s
about as big as New York,” was the
ready answer, “but it isn’t built up yet."
Fare Blood.
Many families pride themselves on their
noble ancestry; but here, m this democra
tic countiy, we do not care so much about
our pedigree aa our health; When the
blood is out of order, disease manifests it-
lelf in the skin and flesh. To be restored
to health take Scovill's Sarsaparilla or
Blood and Liver Syrup. Physicians apeak
of it in the highest terms. Dr. Everett,
Cooper Plains,Steuben county, New York,
mentions two cases of Scrofula and Erysip
elas in which Scovill’s Sarsaparilla or
Blood and Liver Syrup effected a cure and
says: “I think it oue of the best purifiers
ot the day. It has met with perfect suc
cess in every case where I have used it.”

Thousands will bear testimony (and do
it voluntarily) that Veqetine is the best
medical compound yet placed before the
public for renovating and purifying the
blood, eradicating all humors, impurities

debilitated by disease; in fact, it is, aa
many have filled it, “The Orest Health

the Scientific American, than can be re
deemed by the new recipes that have been

water at 70 6 , or ordinary shop tempera

heat, the temper will require very little
drawing very little, that is to a pale straw
full straw, or brownish yellow, but not
deeper unless for wood working tools with
thm cutting edges, when a full brown may
be desirable. File makers use salt water
for a hardening bath, because it makes the
water more dense and the teeth harder, and
of course more brittle. Sulphuric acid or
mercury is sometimes used 'fur hardening
very small tools for cutting and etching
stone. For springs the same care should
be taken in regard to low, even heating
that is necessary with tools. Pure lard oil
is as good and probably better than any of
the mixtures that have been tried for the
hardening fiu d; burning off may do for
drawing the temper ot small or thick
springs, but is total y unfit for loo 3 or slen
der ones. Dip the hardened spring into a
bath of oil heated nearly to iu boiling tem
perature; this is the only way to get an
even temper. _
