CVJtiFLOw'ER. — gro^riiiR of cau liflowers is receiving more attention than formerly, particularly so the ear lier vanelics. The crops of Dwarf Er furt and Snowball begin to come for- ' V ard in June; and these, with the later sorts, are in market, almost without in termission, unttl November. Remark ably fine cauliflowers, in great abun dance, were grown about Roiton and elsewhere the pastseason.notwithstaud- ing the long and severe drought, which is particularly unfavorable to their cul ture, Can li flowers require very high cultivation, even more so than eabba- .gea, and plenty ef moisture. Whether grown in the kitchen garden, or upon a large scale, the crop is a paying one. The demand is evidently rapidly increas- iiHt, and there is no more delicious v( g- etable grown. Cold-frame i Lints are probably the best and hardiest for early crops; the frames, however, need rather more pro tection during cold nights, than re quired for cabbage plants. Seeds sown in hot-beds in February, will produce plants that are not much, if any, interi or to cold-frame plants. They should be transplanted out once, before setting in the open ground, and also should be gradually hardened by exposure; in this way, they may be in condition to set out as early in April as the ground will pefmit. Set the early sorts about two feet by fifteen inches, and cultivate the same as c tbbages. Where irrigation is practicable, great advantage is thus ob tained during a drought. For late cauliflowers, sow seed in open ground, Irom the middle if May to the middle of June, in hills, the same ‘-s directed for laic cabbages. Thin to one plant in each hill: this avoids the craw- backs resulting from transplanting in a drv time. When the plants first appear they are liable to the attacks of a sms 11. black fly ;guard against this by frequent dusting with piaster, which apply in the morning, wnile the dew is on. When the heads are ioruin g, tie the leaves to gether at the top, thus avoiding discol oration by exposure to the sun. The .Germantown Telegraph suggests that competitive horse-snoeiug should be included in the premium lists of agricultural fairs, inasmuch as all must know how many animals are injured— sometimes permanently crippled—by untaught, iguorant or unskilled shoers, who treat the bool of a horse with as much roughness and recklessness as they do a plow-share. It recommends that good, round premiums be placed in the list of awards for the horse-shoeing—not for the meet rapid shoers, as this has little or nothiug to do with the aim— but for the skiilulness, neatness, light ness and solidity of the work; and that the committee be selected, not from blacksmiths or professional shoers, but from txpeiienced horsemen. If a coin plant be dug up at any pe riod during its later grow th, the greater part ol the feeding roots will be found aw ay from the hill, ext< nding, as seems evident in some cases, to a distance r f at least twelve ieet. This range of t’ W roots ennuot pc* puipuselcss, but is a provision whereby this strong-growing plant gatheis its feed from a large area and competes with its neighboring plants. How rapidly these roots grow we know not, but we can say with cer tainty that tney may extend at least 3 inches daily thiough the most favorable season, under favoring conditions. The broadcast ItriiJizing is a better way for corn than hill Icrtrlizing seems in acccr- dunce with careful observation. M«, T. ( rudsiv, F. L. S., of Lomlou writes lo us to say that, lor the floor oi tne pen In y house the best plan is to ge t it quite level and then slant it to the front, just to cause a slight fall iu ease ol wishing to wash it out at any time*. Then put ou a coating of cement and sand; when quite dry li 1 iu two inches ef drv earte that has been silted. As the droppings fail on this they are easily rakeu off and the ammonia is ab- sorbeu. It is a great point to have dry inns lor all poultry, and the birds so appreciate the dry dust for ridding themselves ol vermin, li young chicks are kept upon dry earthjhey will stand cold in ihe most singular manner, but they soon succumb if they get into the damp. • The lawn should be the first cousiel- eration in the spring. Healthy, well- ltd grass will keep green in a dry time easier than weak grass. This is w hy top-dressings of rich fertilizing materi al; are such an advantage to a lawn. Continual mowings, though the essen tial practice iu making a lawn beautiful wtanens the grass, but the application ol good food helps it recover. At one time the mowings were left on the grass to make a fertilizer, as it was said Tnis is not considered go oil practice now. The shade from the dead grass weakens the living grass in a considerable de gree, though not perhaps to the same extent that moving does. Few fameis know that there is good side ior corn husks carefully saved, and at prices much higher than their value for lee ding. They are largely used for - beds, an d the demand lor this purpose is increasing. There is no good reason why tanners who grow large crops should not save and bale the husks. This requires harvesting before wit weather u jures them; but this is an ad vantage ior the gram crop as well. Tne outer, coarse husk si ould be thrown away, as it makes too harel a bed, and the hue husk s are better for being slit. rr.OFEssoK Bessy, i f the Iowa Agri cultural ci hege'jtuys that no application to wheat before heading will prevent imut, as the disease is an internal one. But by applying caustic lime to the seed, which has been previously well washed, the danger from smut will be greatly lessened. A Fbench chemist reports that water maeie slightly salt, and to which, when boiling, bran in the proportion of one quart to every gallon has been added, has been found in a senes of < xpertinents to increase the yield of milk twenty-five per cent., it given to the cows in their ordinary drink, The effect of frost upon plants is to cause i xudation ol the water from the interior ol the cells, and the formation oi ice outside and between the cells. If the thaw be effected gradually, the water is reabsorbed and the life of the plant is unaffected. A connnsroNLEXT makes his granary distasteful to r its by “daubing all the angles on the outside of the building with hot tar tor the width of three or four incht s, and also any seam or crack where a rat or mouse can stand or gnaw.” Soft Bede.—There are differences in regard to the best beds for refreshing sleep, some persons advocating soft an 1 some hard beds. The difference be tween them is that the weight of a hodv on a si ft bed presses on a larger surface than upon a hard lied, and consequently more comfort is enjoyed. Hard beds should never be given to little children, and parents who suppose that such beds contribute to health* by hardening and developing the constitution are surely iu eiror. Eminent physicians—Irolh here and in England—concur in this opinion, ami state that hard beds have often proved injurious to the shape of infants. Birds and animals cover their offspring witlethe softest material they ran obtain, and also make soft beds tor them, and the s >itness of a bed is not evidence of its being unwholesome. But if it is not kept sweet and clean by daily airings and frequent beatings— —whether it is hard or soft—it is surely injurious to health. Hints fob the Household.—A cily housekeeper protected the ivy on a basement wall through the winter with a strip of canton matting. Tile work is represented frequently in wall papers designed for vestibules and passageways, among which appear imitations of Egyptian tiles copying well the old colors. The finest way we haVb in modem times to decorate a wall, say art Stic furnishers, is to hang it with silk, leath er or tapestry. We can produce no effect like that with these materials. The handsomest cut-glass, in matched pairs for oil and vinegar, are formed with slender neck and large base, the latter having frequently the shape of x pineapple, or that of a globe. Serviceable tidies are made of butch er’s linen, hemmed at the sides and fringed at the ends; w’ork in outline some quaint figure; work with marking cotton warranted not to fade, or with etching silk. Ornamental Stands —The small round stands seen almost in every sit ting-room are made ornamental by having a lambrequin tacked to the edge. Cover the top of the stand with crash, and crochet a lambrequin of the fish- cord so much used tor various fancy articles. Make the lambrequin just as you make the tidies, with close work and with open spaces through which ribbons are to be run. Finish with fringes from three to four inches deep. Have t’ e lambrequin, with the fringe added, reach to where the legs of the stand join the standard. Salmis Be Venaison.—The breast of a young deer is *to be preferred above ail. Cut it. into small square pieces; put into a saucepan with about two ta blespoonfuls of sweet oil. When they are well rendeifed add two tablespooutuls of florr, a little bacon cut in small squares and a few shallots. Let the whole simmer until of a nice color, then add about one pint of claret wine, the tenth part of stock and a bunch of pai sley, thtyme, sage and bay leaves, tied together. Let it simmer on a slow lire about one hour. Before serving you must be careful to xemove all the grease. Serve with toast, tiled iu butter, around the. dish. _ Counterpane fob Yacht.—Navy blue twill, lined with thick scarlet iiuruel, pinked at the edges, the border showing about two inches beyond the twill. A light pattern of coral branches b< r.Iai-n the blue twili, which is bound and fin ished with a Irmge of blue worsted pompons. The coral branches must be well arranged aud interlaced, the wnole worked in ingrain cotton or crewels ot shaded crimson. In the centre the dub flags, with a small scroll across, with name of yaciit. These should be worked iu appropriate colors, and then attached to the material, so as to be easily removable previous to cleaning the ccunteip iue. Liqueur and Berry Services.—A berry service of cut glass contains four teen pieces, the bowl, and tray, and a dozen leaf-shaped Iruit-sauet-rs, each bearing the “starfoot” which distin guished the genuine - cut glass. A liqueur service of green or amber Bo hemian glass contains the tray, square or- triangular, with limed edge, aud nine cordial glasses, each fluted, to hold a thimblelul oi the potent liqueur. li IDE Chicken Pie.—Cover the bottom of a pudding-dish with slices of broiled ham; cut up a boiled chicken and near ly till tlie dish; add chopped onions; if you like, or a little curry powder, which is better. Then add boiled rice to till all uiterstices and to cover the top thick. Bake it for one half or three-quarters of an hour. Remedy for Cholera Morbus—For cholera morbus, take black pepper and grind it tolerably line, t aen put iu a glass, a teaspoonful of this aud a table- spooulul of salt, and till about half. lull wuh warm water; then till up the glass with good cider vinegar, and stir it up. Take oue teaspoouful then wait a little and take another; keep ou stirring and usiflg it while tne vomitiug lasts. II' one glass does net cure try another. Never sleep in a close room with all the doors and windows closed; even in the coldest weather, one window shon d be partly rai ed, or (which is best) let down from tne top, so as to admit fresh air, without allowing a draught or cur rent on thi :si«i per. The window cur tains mat i al ways be down, as the air strained urough the muslin loses its dampness, and is more healthful. Elizadeth Breakfast Cakes.—Ten well beaten eggs, three pints of milk, luke-warm; a quarter of a pound of melted butter, and two* teaspoonfuls of salt, u teaspoonful of saleratus, dissolved iu t. spoonful of hot water. Make a thit! batter of white Indian meal, and bi k. in buttcri d tins an inch thick when put in. Bake thirty or forty minutes in a quick oven. Very fine. Molaj; srs Slabs.—Two cups of molas ses, two laolespeonfuls of vinegar, two teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in the vinegar, two thirds cup of shortening, two teaspcbululs of ginger, enough flour to make dough. Mix at H'ght; roil out in the morning about as thick as the blade of a kurle, and bake. A New York doctor says the best cure he knows of for a cold is tivs old- fashioued sweat. Take ten grains of quinine, a hot mustard foot-bath aud a stiff glass of toddy—or rather, 1 should say, a hot lemonade. To Remove Rust from a Stovepife —Rub with r^ifeeed oil, a little of which goea a long way. Build a slow fire at first until it is dry. ■ To cure toothache, cut as much cot ton es will fill ihe tooth, dampen it, cover it with a mixture of salt and pow dered alum and place it in the tooth.

His little boy Johnny is in the habit . of scooping up the sugar in the bottom of the glass, and putting it where it will do him the most good. A few days ago, Judge Waite had occasion to take a dose of quinine, and as he left a little of the bitter stuff in the bottira of the glass, Johnny, sup. posing it was toddy, filled the applica tion for the sediment, which was granted as Judge Waite was desirous of curing the child of an inexplicable yearning for strong drink. Johnny soon began to show his disgust by fearful howls and imprecations. “Is it bitter, sonny?” asked Judge Waite, iu an anxious tone of voice.” “O, t am not crying about that,” re plied Johnny. “What are yon crying about, then 9 '' “Fse crying because I drank it all up, aud 1 am so sorry that there is none left for poor lil tie brother Billy, %*“Blow and steady wins the race.” Steadily, hut not slowly, Kidaey-Wort is distancing all competition for universal popularity and usefulness.

Editors .— The above is a good likeness of Mrs. Lydia E Pink- ham, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human beings may be truthfully called the “Dear Friend of Woman,” as some of her correspnndenta love to call her. She Is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome of a ufe-study, and Is obliged to keep six ledy assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence which daily pours In upon her, each bearing its special burden of suffering, or joy at release from It. Her Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I have personally Investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of this. On account of It. proven merits. It is recommended and prescribed by the best physicians In the country. One saysi “It works‘like a charm and saves much pain. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrhcea, Irregular and painful Menstruation,all Ovarian T-oubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Floodings, all Displacements and the con sequent spinal weakness, and Is especially adapted to the Change of Life.” It permeates every portion of the system, and gives new life and vigor. It removes faintness, flatulency, destroys ail craving for stimulants, and relieves weak- ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches. Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, Is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs the female system. It costs only $1. per bottle or six for $3., and 1* sold by druggists. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. P., with stamp for reply, at her home In Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either ser this compound Is unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show. “Mrs Pinkham's Liver PLUs,” says one writer, “are the best in the world tor the cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of the Hver. Her Blood Purifier works v-onder* In Its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound In its popularity. All mnst respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sol* ambition Is to do good to others.
