ACUrOUlTCBE, Potatoes Uni'KK Straw.—The tol- lowi jg is tiie pun suggested by Mr. N. J. Shepherd, oi Eldon, Mo. The ad vantages claimed are a beer ze oi weeds and bat little ocltivation. i?'or late po tatoes it is economy to raise them under straw. The crop, especially m a drought will do far better than if cultivated in the usual manner, while the tube)is will be dearer and smoother. The ground should be well be wdl plowed in the spring, and laid off very shallow. With a plow the rows need not be over two or three f At apart, as there is nc need of cultivating. The potatoes can then be planted in bill or drills, whichever is preferred. By drilling one potato in a place the ground can ail be utilized, and as no cultivation is necessary, they can, of course, be planted much closer to gether. Cover very lightly. It is best, if the work is not too mnoh crowded, to wait a week before applying the coat of straw, so as to allow the potatoes to sprout well. Then apply a coat of straw twelve or tilten inches thick, evenly over the bed. it will settle down in a short time. The potatoes need no fur ther attention until digging. Sometimes a few jimpseu weeds or poke berry will force themselves through the straw, but they will be very few and far between. When you come to digging, uncover one row, throwing it over on the sec ond; now dig the first row, and then uncover the second row ty throwing the straw into the first. By using a little care in throwing the straw into piles it can bo used two years after. The best way to get nd of it is to plow your potato plot ia the fall, and after you make one round with the plow fill the furrow with the straw, then plow again and fill again until all the straw is oovrred up in the iurrows. The next 8 . nrin 2. w hen yen come to plow again,it tvill be rotted, and will help enrich the soil to some extent. We much prefer tins mode to planting and cultivating,as the crop is surer, and we find it me*a economical as regards labor. And when the hot dry days in July and August come the potato crop is not so seriously injured as is often the ease when culti vated in the ordinary way. 1 he large fowls are rather inactive, seldom fly, and fatten easily. When the hens of the Asiatic breeds are crossed with a Leghorn cock the oflspring par take very strongly of the male parent, and are as quick aud active as the puie Leghorns. They lay well, but make good setters, whue the full-blooded Leg- ham does not set at all. The best mat ings are between the Partridge Cochin hen and brown Leghorn, and white Brahma hen and white leghorn. As the hens from these crosses will be somewhat small they should be mated writh large Plymouth Rock cooks,which will give good market chicks, By using judgment in crossing to produce good laying hens, the faimer can not only have a larger number of eggs, but with a due regard to selecting the next sea son’s cocks from a choice breed the size of the chicks can be kept up to a pro fitable weight. There are many affections to which animals are liable as the result of a low type of condition caused by under or injudicious feeding, which the simplest common sense could have prevented. To take a trivial case: Lice ore con stantly met with in the coats and on the skin of the hordes that have been badly f€£4n a straw yard daring the winter. Such parasites are seldom if ever met with on the coats of horses in good con dition, the truth being that the skin of an ill-fed animal is exactly the habitant in which lice thrive and propogate their species; and it is, moreover, a fact that a poor horse, the subject of these para sites, will, as he improves in condition, even without treatment, be gradually relieved of these creatures. Aud why? Because the robust state of body produ ces a skin which exerts a repel ling force against an invasion of lice. Some farmers appear to forget that their land extends to the middle of the roadway, and that they have rights and duties in connection with the roadsides. At this season it is common to find by the wayside the largest weeds in ihe neighborhood. They have had it all their own way, and this haa been to ripen a large crop of seeds. Such neg lect of the roadside is a great mistake, aud it not only gives a neglected ap pearance to the street, but is a means of piopagating weeds that do much damage to the crops in the adjoining fields. It does not math r how clean the cultivated crops may be kept if weeds are left to grow just over the fenceOollect and burn these.but in doing this the seeds should be killed, to make the work of subduing these pests less burdensome In the future, besides ad ding to the attractiveness of the street. The most uniform returns in a senes of years will be made in a general col lection, including large fruits of various sorts with the different small fruits. Some may be productive in oue season, and others the next, but a fair average will be likely to occur in the long. In one year the apple crop may be a suc cess, the next year pears, with peaches, plums, grapes, raspberries and straw berries variously working in between. But here again comes another consider ation, which may largely affect the planting; if, instead of a near market which will take all the various sorts which you raise you will have to ship them hundreds of miles by railway, those should be selected which will bear long shipment without injury, aud sell well when they reach their destina tion. DOMESTIC. Fob Summer use L a country cottage gray-lined curtains with edge embroid ery are ornamental and afford un admir able shade to a room exposed to the heat of th6 noonday sun. A door cur tain formed of tarfetan in ample folds is picturesque, imparting an air of breezy coolness to the rooms. Edge the curtain with tinted lace and hang an inlaid shade of corresponding color, to be drawn down when seclusion is required; loop back the tarletan, near the centre with ribbon bows. There is another effective style of door curtains which is easily constructed. Furohaso a few yards of dotted Swiss muslin; between the dots on both sides of the goods sew tiny spangles; edge the cur tain with narrow gold lace, and a fairy like effect is given, especially if two palm plants or pots of flowers are placed on either side of the door. A showy piano cover may be secured at very lit tle expense. Applique on green serge or maroon tinted camel’s hair doth, a variety of quaint figures, not exactly grotesque but selected with taste, and presenting in a tinted manner some sort of suggestion relating to music, both vocal and instrumental. Originality expressed in designing deoc ations for a piano cover is sure to awaken great sat isfaction if artistically executed, and there also must be proper proportion, breadth and repose to the work. The designs wrought on an organ cover should harmonize with the general characteristics of this instrument. There should be no crowded details in needle work, even when the pattern is large, aud the artide embellished presents ample breadth fora decoration of liber al dimensions. In order to seems a pleasing effect in hand-made home dec orations, be careful that detail is always subordinate to the da^a; and above all be sure not to depart from truth when the designs are intended to be copies from nature—every flower should have its own foliage, and the whole made as perfect as possible. Glaring inaccura cies in this direction destroy the desired effect of most skilfully wrough out pro ductions, and at the same time it is obvious that the fair artist is in posses ion of considerable ignorance. HUMOROUS. A mild minister sad a matter of mon ey: A postman leit two letters at the residence of a Chicago minister, both of which contained an application for his services to perform the marriage ceremony at the same time. “I hardly know what to do,” he remarked to his wife. “I can’t accommodate them both. Let me see—Mr. A has been married before, has he not?” “Oh.yes,”replied his wife; “he lost his first wife six months ago. r ’ “And Mr. B is a bache lor?” “Yes.” “That settles it, then. I shall marry Mr. B. When a man mar ries the second time he never pays the minister any more than the law allows, but young bachelors are sometimes very fooluh;” and the good man rubbed his bands mildly. A book agent named Joe Bmyrk, Was put out aud hurt by a jerk. He says as a cure, 8t. Jacob’s Oil is sure, At all times to get in its work.

Come down stairs with a lamp m hand, hours after the house has been still, and those who had declared their sinks and bath-rooms free from roaches will be awfully astonished at the num ber gayly prancing around wash boilers and stationary wasbstands. Bpnnkle hellebore thickly everywhere, and if you’ve no pet animals around mix it with Paris green. Stop up all cracks or leakages of a kitchen water apparatus with soft yellow soap of the commonest kind. The roaches, will endeavor to eat their way through this and it won’t agree with them. Where there is run ning water in a house there also will be roaches, but a vigorous, determined fight will keep them down pretty weU. The hellebore and Pans green will drive them away if persisted in and mice will leave, t^o. Keei-inp the Heap Cleak.—Seeping the head perteotly clean is a great aid to health. A distinguished physician, who has spent much time at quarantine, said that a person whose head was thor oughly washed every day rarely took contagions diseases, but where the hair was allowed to become dirty and matted it was hardly possible to escape infec tion. Many persons find speedy relief for neivious headache by washing the bead thoroughly in weak soda water. We have known cases almost wholy cured in ten minutes by this simple remedy. A friend finds it the greatest relief in oases of “rose cold,” the cold spmptoms entirely leaving the eyes and nose after one thorough washing of the hair. The head should be thoroughly dried afterward, and the drafts of air avoided for a liitle while. On two occasions I have witnessed brakes whistled down and a train-load of passengers stopped in the pine woods, while the conductor slowly ambled off to a neat cottage in a little orange grove and kissed his wife and a large family of children ranged along on top of the fence. I think It was his wife, but there was some speculation in regard to it. Dmed corn ought to be made palata ble, aud be frequently seen on the din ner table but many people who like corn dislike this stuff because it is not cooked properly; it should always be put to soak in lake warm water the afternoon before it is to be eaten. Do not throw away the water in which it is soaked, or then you lose much of the best there is in the corn. Then early, at least two hours before dinner, pvt it in a saucepan over the fire, end let it cook slowly but steadily until It is ten der. A little cream added to the milk, butter, pepper, and salt are desirable, and a teaspoonful of sugar will some times do wonders in giving flavor to the dish. A most excellent food is wasted when fresh bones are allowed to lie neglected about a cmcken-bouse. Raw bones of about all kinds are greedily devoured by all fowls, and the more marrow or meaty matter adhering the better. The latter, however, they will trim off if allowed the opportunity,and then if the bones are mushed under an old axe, hammer, or sledge, they will put every fragment out of sight in a huriy. Chick en's bones are eaten aa greedily as the reat. A chicken has no sentiment m such matters. Excepting dogs, all other kinds of stock pay their way on the f-urm. Dogs never uo, or at least not one in 100,000 is the money it costs to his use es existence. Dogs are the ot sheep groweis in most sections, and the worthless ones that aboond in cities meke wool growing impossible for a distance of air to ton miles on each side Scotch eolhe dogs alone, well trait el, seem the only specimen of the canine race worth the farmer’s at tention, Here is something for dessert which never fails to please the younger mem bers of the family. Make a batter as if for waffles; to one pint of milk allow two eggs and enough flour to thicken; one teas poo iiful of baking powder should be stirred into thellour. Fill a sufficient number of teacups with this and fruit iu layers. Then set the cups m the steamer, and let the water boil under neath it for a full hoar. Serve while hot with sugar and cream. Any jam is nice for this, or raw apples chopped fine. A good fish sauce ia made of half a cup of vinegar, half a eup of water, the yolk of one or two eggs, a teaspoonful of butter, a tbird of a teaspeonful of ground mustard, and half a tea- spoonful of corns torch, a little sugar, pepper, and salt. Stir the lumps from the mustard and cornstarch when mixed with the vinegar, beat it gradually, and let it boil for about one minute. Thin may be used cold, on canned salmon or lobster; it will need a little more vine gar in that ousc to thin It. It may also ne used iu making a salad with lettuce. If possible, substitute fresh white mus tard leaves for the ground mustard. Housekeepers in the country and all lovers of country walks should be ready for experiment when the first fruit trees begin to blossom. A haudlul of frtsli apple blossoms put into the tea caddy will give tb* tea the flavor and perfume of some of the finest Russian teas. The apple is a country cousin of the tea plant, and much of the scent of imperial teas come* fro® mixing the-e with flow er blossoms. Beeswax and salt will make your flatirons clean and smooth us glass. Tie a lamp of wax in a rag, and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot, rub them first with the wax rag, then scour them with a paper or rag sprinkled with salt. *v Do not grasp at the shadow and lose the substance, ” Kidney- Wort is able to convert^ you from a shadow of your former self Into the substance of establish ed health, daid a sufferer from kidney trouble when asked to try Kidney-Wort for a remedy. ‘Til try it, but it will be my last dose. *’ It cured him and now he recommends it te all.

GlUa PHYSICIANS AS A BULE are having but little success in curing what are generally termed Malarial diseases, and for thla reason it is quite frequently said that they do not know what Malaria is. Let us see what the principal difficulties are with which they have to contend. There is an old proverb which says, “Ycu should always tell your Doctor and Lawyer the truth. Did you do this when you first consulted your physician in regard to those queer chil >8 followed by flushes of heat—that numbness and pain in all parts of the body which he said was Malaria? Did you tell him that you had often suffered daring tl 0 previous year with our stomach, heartburn, nausea, flatulence, constipation, and occasional grill ing, and that your tongue had been coated more or less for a long time? If not, you are more in fault than the Doctor. You probably told him the truth, but not the whole truth, and it is from this cause, this neglect of what are considered by many as trifling ailments, that people are compelled to suffer long illnesses, which simple reme dies will prevent if taken in time. The symptoms we have mentioned are those of a weak and bilious condition of the digestive organs and a diseased liver. They are borne by many writh but little complaint, tbe patient generally attending to his usual occupation, and scarcely mentioning his ail ments to his nearest friends. He sometimes has an excellent appetite, eating heartily and with great relish. At other times there is positive disgust fur all food. There is with some a constant dull headache, with dots before the eyes, pain in the right side, • sleepy, doll feeling after meals, a restless, nervous condition at night, bad dreams, at times great melancholy without apparent cause, a costive condition of the bowels, a coated tongue. These symptoms, when not attended to, are sure to undermine the system and pro duce the most serious diseases. Typhoid - fever is caused by the neglect o^ these ail ments, Chills and fever are always trace able to an impaired couditicn of the digest ive organs. No one was ever attacked with Malaria whose digestion was good. Dys pepsia and Liver Complaint often lead to Consumption. The digestive organisation is the basis of health, and any deviation from perfection is dangerous. How shall we keep the digestive organs in such a condition that the system will resist disease? Our answer to this is plain, and, we think, reasonable. We must go the original cause of the trouble. If the stomach has become filled up with slimy secretions, they must be removed, aud this should be doue with out irritation. The bowels must be puritled and cleansed without weakening the general system. The liver must be roused to healthy action aud made to secrete the proper amount of bile necessary to good digestion. A few doses of Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills will do all this. They are the great remedy of the age. They have driven from use more poisonous dings than any medicine ever brought be fore the public. Before their introduction, mercury or calomel was a remedy used daily in the practice of every physician. It is now only used by the careless or ignorant. It is known as a violent mineral poison, and would never be used by any one if all knew tbe virtues of that great vegetable remedy, Mandrake, ss prepared by Dr. Schenck. Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills are sold by druggists everywhere at 25 cents per box, or sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price. Dr. Schenck’s Book on Consump tion, Liver Complaint aud Dyspepsia, is sent free, post paid, to alt applicants. Ad dress Dr. Scheuck & Sou, Philadelphia, Pa. AHklamtBeMtr •sajo? Foravar. DR. T.
