/ I AGMOOLTURE. DOMESTIC. HUMOROUS. Notes in the t'Rurr Tabd.—It Is get ting to be c. prime matter Jn planting apple trees to secure varieties that are hardy. The old seeding orchards wer* as secure as elms, but not so our finer sorts. Evolution in quality does not se cure a survival of the toughest wood. The tendency is rather the other way. Of the hardier sorts of late introduction the Spy ranks high. The Roxbury Rus- sett does not easily kill, while the Kirk land is as tough w-. the toughest of the old-time seedlings. These are the three beet late winter keepers and most hardy trees. Those who plant pears should select those which do not need to be hurried to market. Of these the three most profitable and best are Sheldon, D’Anjou and Clairgeau. The two first are also shapely trees, and all thete are hardy. A few peach trees from seed should be on every farm. They will cove a great deal of satisfaction when they do bear, and take little room when they do not. Seedhngs from Early Crawford are like ly to give hardy as well as good varie ties. The Wager also may be re lied on, as well as Amsden and Alexan der. No fruit is more profitable, with pro per care, than the quince. The trees most be sheltered from cold winds and protected from the frost This last can be done by a liberal mulch of coal ashe?. The quince is easily propagated by planting cuttings six inches to a foot long, set in good garden soil The trees most be well cultivated to be of special value. It is impossible to get a good crop of quinces from trees grown in green sward. The best variety is still the old Orange. There are two rules in planting fruit trees, or for that matter auy trees, that cannot be too carefully applied: 1. Al ways cut back the limbs sharply. If the tree is large, cut away nearly all the top. So in planting evergreen hedges; down with tbemjshear away hal f or two- thirds. 2. Mulch heavily, mulch every- thine; mulch always. Hat.—The best quality of hay is ob tained by cutting the grass while in bloom. For this, mowing machines are indispensable. The scythe may do for the fence corners, but not for gener al use. In choosing a mower, look to lightness of draft, strength, and simpli city of construction. As between equally good machines, it is best to buy the one made nearest home,for convenience in making repairs. It is safer to have the cutting bar ahead, and to one side of the driver. The tedder is a valuable adjunct of the hay field, greatly facilita ting the drying of the grass. The best bay is made by curing in the cock. Sweating improves the quality of hav, and prevents its heating in the mow. Cat grass that has hod the sun for one day may be put up in large cocks, where it will keep well for a week if necessary, if protected from rain and dew by cops. These caps are easily made from common sheeting, and fre quently pay for themselves the first season. The horse-fork is a great labor saving implement, and should be more generally used. Haying is soon over, and everything should be employed that aids in the hurry of this work. For mere than thirty years we have had to do mo<-e or less with the rearing of calves. Our experience has taught causes. Change of food, unsuitable food, cold, wet, bad litter, etc., will in duce scour. \Ve have tried many sorts of medicine. Fca several years we proved that from thirty to sixty drops (according to age of calf) of chlorodyne. in a little water, given early, at once stops the complaint; a second dose was very rarely necessary. Latterly, we have weaned the calves gradually from their mother’s milk and reared them on skimmed milk, since which time we have bad little or no scour. One calf bad scour by its mother’s side, three or four days old; we put it on another cow and saved the calf. We could not per ceive anything amiss with the mother or her milk, but it did not suit her calf. Many farmers of Western New York are going out of tobacco raising becanse of the uncertainties of the crop, the loss of fertility and depreciation of the laud, and disappointment in sales. Even those farmers who have realized the highest prices and the quickest sales admit that the effect in tobaoco raising is to reduce profits on general farming; that its exhaustive tendency is a serious matter to consider, and that in the long run it is destructive to more important interests. Potatoes.—The Colorado beetle is the leading enemy to the uotato. It can be successfully fought with Paris green or London purple, if the poison is used so soon as the young “worms” make their appearance. The ground must be well stirred and kept free from weeds, and the crop dug early to avoid the wet rot It does not pay to keep poor stock of any kind. Jf every animal is good of its kind it is always saleable, and can be tarned into money at any time that it is desirable to do so, whereas an in ferior one is always a drug on the far mer's hands. About 50,000 dozens of eggs are con sumed daily in New York City,when the prices are as high as they are at present. When the cost of eggs reaches the low est point they will be cheaper than meat and the consumption will increase to 200,000 dozens a day. The growing of cauliflowers is re ceiving more attention than formerly, particularly so the earlier "-uieties. The crops of Dwarf Erfurt and Snowball begin to come forward in June, and these wiih the latter sorts, are in the market almost without intermission un til November. Thebe does not seem to be any feasi ble way of getting rid of the rose bog except by hand picking. The rose slug is another depredator which ahonld tie kept under by dusting the plants with powdered hellebore. The Sugar Beet calls the attention of farmers to the advantages of bill culture for beets,saying the French and Austri ans have largely adopted it. This plan of culture seems to present the most prac tical advantages. Professor Sanborn has conducted a series of er^riments which prove con clusively that it takes more corn to make a pound of pork when the hogs were allowed to run at large than when they were confined in a pen. Afpliqued Pieces.—This style of decorative work is very satisfactory, it is so handy, and particularly the small pieces, which make no bulk, and hence are easily taken about from the parlor to the piazza and out into the garden summer houses, over in the grov^, down by the shore, or anywhere one may wander to while rusticating. The fashion of adorning many household and toilet articles with appliquec! designs gives tj this industry a great deal of special interest, much more than is usually bestowed upon one kind of dec orative needlework. Bonnet crape is ot all shades—and the very email pieces are jn&t what is wanted in making these flowers. Some of the petals ore formed of narrow ribbon radiating from the centres, which are often curiously con structed of dots, especially in designing such flowers as daisies. Another very interesting industry is pillow lace mak ing; there is no difliculty in learning the stitches and method of working out the patterns. Lace making has become quite fashionable. There are several kinds that are excellent imitations of point lace and the old-time guipure. Manufacturers have recently brought out a number of new shades in embroid ery pilks. This addition of color to this deparsment of decorating materials will give wider scope to the landscape touches that are so much admired in needlework for household adorning. ** ¥ “Men are but sorry witnessesin their own cause.” The praise of Kidney-Wort comes from the mouths of those who have been made strong and healthy by P.

To these spices add half of the stones of the cherries; pound those very fine in a mortar. Mix all the foregoing well to gether. Add two pounds and a half of the best of white sugar; put all in a demijohn, cork tightly, aud allow to remain so for thirty days; now open and filter, then bottle. The most heroical use of of the cherry in this country is cherry bounce. This is entirely an American invention. For good or for evil, cherry bounce Las entered into the politics, and even the religion of the American continent, for several genera tions. It would seem to have originated with the “first families of Virginia;” but the fashion subsequently crept into the social usages of several other sur rounding populations. There is no de nying the soft impeaehment that a long line of American statesmen, generals, scholars, physicians, aud even doctors of divinity, drank in cherry bounce with their mother’s milk. A lull review of the cherry in America would be incom plete without some allusion to the ‘•make-up” of this celebrated decoction. Ituiub 'Rirm Ac>un. I saw so mudi sain about me merits or Hop Bitters, and my wife who was always doctoring,and never well, teased me so ur gently to get her some, 1 concluded to be humbugged again, and I am glad I did, for in less than two months’ use of the Bitters, my wife was cured, and she has remained so for eighteen months since, t like such humbugging.—H. T., fSt. Paul.—“Pio neer Press.” For Tender Feet.—Bathe the feet every night in warm water, and imme diately after apply to them strong vine gar. When they are inclined to crack, or become dry and bard (which is fre quently a great annoyance to aged per sons), alter using the vinegar, anoint them freely with spermaceti ointment. •‘Used Up.” What Is the precise meaning of lira familiar phrase when employed to signify an unnatural condition of the body and mind ? It means ex haustion, languor, want of vital energy, mental apathy—a pitiable stnte of physical aud mental helplessness. The best, and In fact the only per fectly reliable panacea for a “used up" system Is that most popular and potent of medicinal st mu- lams, Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. No matter whether the health has been broken down by ex cessive labor, over-study, an Insalubrious atmos phere, anxiety, Irregularities In diet, dissipation, or any other cause, this powerful aud pleasant vegetable restorative will soon recruit the droop- ingenergiesuf nature, restoring the tntegr ty of the nerves, and re-estabbshlng that functional regularity which Is essential to animal vigor and a hopetul frame of mind. As a cure for lU-hllitu, in all its varied manifestations, Hostetler's Stomach Bitters is unapproached by any tunic in the via. UrUi medico. Boilinq Woolen Cloth.—Wool or woolen cloth ought never to be boiled, as some recoratn«nd, in coloring it. It may be heated, but should never be brongbt to a boiling point, as tbat makes it tender and it will soon k yk as though the moths or mice had been at work at them. Another Life Saved. J. C. Gray, of Daderllle, Ala., writes us: “I have been using your Dr. Win. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs, and I can say, of a truth, it is far superior to any otlur Lung preparation in the world. My mother was confined to her bed four weeks with a cough, and had every at cn- tlon by as good physicians as there are In the country, and they all failed to effect a cure; but when I got one bottle of your Dr. Win. Hall s Balsam for the Lungs, she began to mend right away. I can say In truth, that it was the means of saving her life. I know of five cases that Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam has cured, and my mot her is better now than she has been before for twenty years.’ Fried Peaches,—Cut in halves a doz en firm, ripe, free-stone peaches; have ready over fire a dripping pan contain ing smoking-hot lard half an inch deep: lay the peaches in the pan, the cut side down, as soon as they are cut, and fry them light brown; as soon as the side next the pan is done, turn them over without breaking them, and heat the other side. The moment they are heated through, arrange them on a hot platter, with the cat side up, put a little pow dered sugar in each and serve them hot for dessert.

A pretty tidy is made by embroider ing a spray of flowers or a bird on a sma'l squared satin; then put a band of satin around this; have it of a contrast ing oolor; then another band outside cf this, and finish with fringe.

He cares very little whether or ndt the public enter tains a favorable opinion of him, but he wants everybody to think well of bis horse. Some time ago the editor of tbe Kentucky State Journal, published at Newport, published a local ivem con- cerniug a horse well known in the com- mumty. Shortly afterward a man en tered the office with a revengeful air and said: “My name is ’Squire daggers and I am not a tender-hearted man, let me tell you. I understand that yon have flung reflections on the character of my horse.” “I don’t know,” replied the editor, “that I said anything derog atory to the' character of your horse. I merely insinuated that you stole the animal, but I did not say anything to in the least injure his character." “That’s all right, then. I don’t care who says I stole him, but blamed if any mau shall say that he can’t run.’' Wise men say nothing in danger ous times.” Wise men use nothing in dangerous diseases but the best and most approved remedies. Thus Kidney-Wort is employed universally in cases of diseas- ed liver, kidney and bowels. It will cost you but a tritie to try it, and the result will be most delightful. gST’Milhons of packages of the Dia mond Dyes have been sold without a single compUint. Everywhere they are the fa vorite Dyes. Too sober to shoot: At the recent pigeon-shooting at Houston a gentle man who had claimed to be a crack shot missed six successive birds, and his disgusted friends, who had been betting on him, were mad enough to drown him. “What kind of shooting is that?’’ asked one of them, indignant ly. “I know its my fault. I am too sober. No sober man can ikpeot to hit birds that fly so crooked If I bad bad three more beers I’d have scattered feathers, and don’t you forget it." Kalamazoo, Mich., Feb. 2d, 1880. I know Hop Bitters will bear recom mendation honestly. All who use them confer upon them the highest encomiums, and give them credit for making cures— all the proprietors claim for them. I have kept them since they were first offered to the public. They took high rank from the first, and maintained it, and are more called for than all others combined. Bo long as they keep up their high reputation for purity and usefulness, I shall continue to recommend them—something I have never before done with any other patent medicine. J. J. BABCOL'K, AL D. The clergyman’s wife had presented him witli a son, and the happy father, as he went his parochial rounds, was congralulated by the members of Yns congregation. There was an old fal$* er, however, who received the tidings very coldl~, but when perceiving the pastor’s disappointment, good natur'dly explained: “I ain’t got no spite; it’s all accordin’ to natnr’, I spose; but when I think of that boy of yourn I can’t help reck’niu’ that in a few years there’ll have to be a new fence put ’round my watermelon patch.” Have you heart disease in any term? if so use Dr. Graves’ Heart Regulator; 30 years have proved it a sure remedy for or ganic or sympathetic Heart Disease, ft per bottle at druggists. A young man in an Illinois town stepped into a church door a moment one Sunday while the services were going on, and the smart minister saw him and shouted, “Go out, young man, she is not here ” The young man was embarrassed for a moment, and then remembering tbe several ministerial scandals that were in the ocurts, he said, loud enough for all to hear him, “yes site is, you old duffer.

My suffennga were very severe from the excruciating pains in my back, and my legs were very badly swollen, attended with severe pains, which were supposed to be cau-ed by the rheumatism. A friend of mine who called to see me urged me to try Hunt’s Remedy, stating that he knew of the wonderful cures of several parties who bad taken this medicine, In cases which seemed very much like mine, except ing that they were In much worse condition than I was. I consented to try the Remedy, and begun to take It as directed, and before I had finished taking one bottle the Improvement In me was great, and it continued constantly, so that after I had taken less than three bottles I was able to re sume my Household duties and do my work easily, although I had been confined to the bed several weeks.

For all of which, under the blessing of a kind Providence, I am Indebted to Hum’s Hem- dv, and I believe that it Is my duty and privilege to Inform all who are suffering In like manner of the remarkable curative and restorat.ve powers of this remedy, which I cheerfully recommend to all who are afflicted wltn Kidney D sea--e and Dropsy.’ •‘Never Known to Fall.” There are a great many times when a glue-pot In tbe house is a “well-spring of pleasure,” and is an economical in vestment, especially when of the kind here described: Buy at a tin shop one small tin can, costing five cents, and a large one, costing about ton cents, in whion the smaller can be set; five or six cents’ worth of glue will mend a great many broken articles or will fas ten things that have become unglued.
