AGRICULTURE. Manuring Indian Corn.—Since farm labor nas been so high the farmer has been compelled to raiae his crops with aa little hand labor as possible if he would make his receipts exceed his ex penditures. The practice of fertilizing corn in the hill, on land in good condi tion, lies in a measure been abandoned, and the manure has all been spread broadcast, not because in all cases it has been thought to secure the largest crop, but because the cost of labor has been such that it would not pay to put a portion in the hill. It is true, the ex pense of hand dropping concentrated fertilizers is not very large, but enough to raise a doubt if there will be sufficient increase of the crop to pay it. Much depends on the condition of the soil. If the soil is not very rich,either the whole surface of tie land must be i eavily ma nured or a small quantity put in each hill if it is desired to have the 3 oung com start with much vigor. A soil that has already been made rich and well pulverized is in a condition to make young corn grow vigorously if all tA the fertilizers are spread broad cast. When it is decided that the soil is not rich enough to secure a vigorous growth without something in each hill to fertil ize it, the very important question comes up, as to what is the best to put into the hill. If the object is to force an immediate growth of leaves and stalks, care should be taken to use only such fertilizers as are in a condition to | be soluble in the water, and thus be at once available for plant food, or the plants will get but little from them until it has been through a chemical ac tion in connection with the soil. Mistakes are sometimes made by us ing a fertilizer that will not become plant food until loug after the plant is lull grown, thus failing entirely to as sist the growth of the young plant. In dian corn, as a lule, will not pay for hand labor to put fertilizers in the hill, but when large fields are to be planted, and a corn-planter is used that will drop fertilizers at the same time without ex tra labor, there are many fields that will yield enough more corn to pay for the fertilizers thus used; but the corn fields of England are most of them so small that they are planted by hand labor. DOMESVO. Celery Fritters.—To make a batter for celery fritters put some flour in an earthen basin, make a hole iu the centre and add i ne or more yolks ot eggs ac cording to the quantity required, one spoonful of fresh salad oil, and a little salt. Mix gently with one hand, being especially careful to always turn the batter in the same direction, dropping in cold water by degrees until the bat ter is slightly thicker than ordinary double cream. At the moment of using adu the white of an egg beaten to a stiff froth. Pick and wash some thick, well shaped celery roots, cut off the top to make them all the same length, and blanch them for one-quarter of an hour in boiling water; take them out and throw at once into fresh-drawn cold water. When quite cold, drain them well, and tie lightly together in bundles of four, put a small bunch of parsley, some pieces of bacon, a little salt and some good white stock into a stewpan; lay in the bundles of celery, and let it stevr gently with the lid on until the vegetable is quite tender; take it out carefully to preveut it breaking, drain well; then dip each piece in a batter, and fry to a delicate brown. On no account lit it be too dark. If possible just glaze the top lightly the iustaut before serviug, aud semi quickly to table ou a folded uapkin. HUMOROUS. The bath-tub waste pipe had c'ogged up, and the family plumber was viewing the remains. "This is terrible!” he exclaimed. "You didn’t send for me any too soon;” then he went away and ordered the water turned off. "ftext day he sent around two men, a boy with a spirit lamp, aud a boy with a wagon load of tools. The men dug up the hydrant, after which they were compelled to go to the neighboring saloon and play seven-up all day for the champagne, and the boy had to go to a base-ball match and hedge a few bets. When the small boy of the household came home from school in the evening he stuck a switch into the waste pipe, and the bath-tub was soon cleared of its contents. By this happy chance the plumber’s bill was out down to $197. This story teaches that the small boy is mightier than the plumber. Wasteful Destruction op Calves.— Thinking men are much concerned over the continued habit of destroyhig large numbers of calves in the dairy districts. They realize fully the difficulty of per suading the dairy farmer that it would be wiser to save at. least the female calves, for the farmer who can readily sell every ounce of milk at a profit, will not readily bother with raising calves. Very naturally he asks, “Why should 1 feed tweuty dollats’ worth of milk to raise a fitteeu-doliar calf'?’' aud it is uot easy to show why,for dairymen cau buy much cows when they need fresh ones, feed them well, aud fatten quickly wheu the flow of milk shall have fallen below a profitable poiut, aud sell to the butch ers for enough,or very nearly enough,to pay for a fresh one. If he realizes tliat the time will come when milch cows cannot bo bought iu this way, he will reply that wheu milch cows become scarce aud hard to buy, then milk will become scarce, aud easy to sell at higher prices than are now current. The profits of the dairyman will be thus affeefed comparatively little by auy change which may thus come in the supply of cows, iu this case, as iu others, the unwise policy of destroying the young heifers, will, in the end,serve to increase the cost of living. Every oue who uses miik or butter, will have to pay a patt of the penalty for slaugh tering these thousands of young calves, each of which, if brought to maturity, might produce in her natural course of ide, lood amounting to many times her own weight and value. Killed at the age of six or eight weeks, she will yield at best, a few pounds only, of uot very nutritious food. Just how a reform may be brought about iu this mutter, does uot appear. The dairyman cau scarcely bo expected to feed a calf milk worth more than that calf will be worth wheu weaned, even though ho may fully realize that there is here iu the West a stroug demaud for all thrifty calves, at prices wh eh cause such animals to be brought hundreds of miles from the East Ho may believe that the supply of cows in this country is much below the wants of the rapidly- increasing population,aud that beef,aud milk, and butter,must use iu value year by year, so that a lew years hence each cow will become much more profitable than she would bo now, but he will pro bably continue to sell his young stock to the butcher as soou as it shall have become old enough to kill for food, Linen Wall Protectors.—The pret tiest wall protectors are now made of art-linen or momie cloth. These can be purchased all ready ornamented with drawn w^rk, fringed and stamped for outline embroidery, but they also cau be made of the creamy iiueu aud decorated to cue’s taste. Take one yard of three-quarters width linen aud shrink it. Theu baste au iucb aud a half hem all arouud it, cutting out the corners ami fastening them nearly down. Draw out the threads cu mob iu width, aud work m drawu-work; or the lower edge of the protector cau be fringed, aud the other sides hemmed, or the whole cau be trimmed arouud with lace of uny pretty pattern. Draw your pat tern in outline with a pencil, and work it with wash silks or crewels. Long sprays of nasturtiums, vines and flow ers, or of morning glories, or of sweet peas, will oinameut a protector taste fully. The worker cau exercise her m- gemity, ami take her colorings from nature if slie please. A spray of coral horn ysuckle, with flowers, leaves and branches aud butterflies hovering over them, would irinke a very hamlsowe pattern for a * b droom. ’ How to Make a Crib Cover for Baby. - Tlie creamy art-liuen iu admira bly adaptul for baby’s crib-covers or cradle-covers. Purchase a yard aud a quarter of the same width, or a yard iu width aud shrink it. Turn a hem oue and a halt inches in depth at the bot tom, aud ou both sides, and feather stitch it down witli some blue crewels or silks. The upper edge should be turned down four inches, aud fastened with an inch-wide pattern of drawn- work. The centre can be marked, at auy fancy store, with the heads of two augels, amt the motto "Holy Angels Guard Thy Bed,” be entwined about them. Tneso letters aud the heads are worked iu two shades of blue silk, war ranted to wash, in outline stitch. This de-ugn is quite eaiily worked, end is very popular. Sprays ot apple boughs aud blossoms, with a hummiug-bird’s nest and humming-birds worked iu nat ural colors, will also make a lovely crib- cover, but it is of more elaborate workmanship, aud uot so readily exe cuted by amateur embroiderers. The Wide, Wide World Lima, Kkpdblio of Pehu.—Senor A. de La JS Delgado, L. L.

Herman Decker, a German gentleman. Madam Garcia was relieved entirely by the pain cure from terrible neuralgic pains of ten months standing. Mr. Decker was cured of inexplicable pains by a single ap plication of the cure. My brother used the great remedy for a species of paraly sis of the arm. He was entirely relieved from his ailment by one or two applic* lions, after having tried numberless other remedies without effect. When Mr. Topnoody has settled down after supper Thursday evening, his wife, after a few preliminary coughs, re- marked: "Mr. Topnoody, have you thought anything about where we would spend the summer?” “Yes, my dear, I have given the sub ject some deliberation ” "Aud have yon decided on a place, dear?” "Yes, love, I have.” "Ob, you sweet thiug!

Capiaiu Joseph L. Hayden, residing at No. 914 Fourth Street, South Bid on, Mass, for nerly captain in the army, now with the Walworth Maiiulaetiirmg ( oinpanv, South Boston, writes, April 28, 1883: "While living in cu ubridgeport my wife was altlp ted w th lerntile pains In ner back and sides, accompanied with great weakness aud loss of appetite.

As applied to the growth of cereals it Las uot found a very wide acceptauce, uot Laviug had time to force iiself ou the attention of the average farmer. The founder of the practice of selecting grain for seed ii Major Hallet, F. L. S., Brighton, England. In 1861 be planted 10 grains of wbeat, from a variety known there as Belleville Talavcru wheat, which up to that time had been sown as a spring wheat, and was declared to be quite in capable of withstanding the frost of winter. Nine of the ten plants from these grains were killed by the severe frost, but the other plant, although from the sftine ear, remaiued as healthy aud vigorous ns auy of the winter varieties of wheat by their side. From this sur viving plant seed has been selected aud grown year alter yetir as a winter wheat. Close observation shows that iu the ce reals, as throughout nature, uo two plants or grains are exactly alike iu pro ductive power, and lienee* that of unj two or gieater number of grains or plants one is always superior to all oth ers, although the superiority cau ouly be ascertaiued by actual field tests. It may consist iu several particular char acteristics, us power to wittistaud frost, prolificness; size and character of oar; size, lorm, quality aud weight of grain; length and stiffness of strow; powers of tillering; rapidity of growth, and many others. For a pretty t*'>le-covcr take fine linen ot a creamy tint as the foundation, Select a piece of fine cretonne figured iu crimson poppies, roses or auy tiower that cuu be cut out and grouped to form a pretty bor. er. Cut out tne flowers and arrange them on paper. With a pencil trace their outlines ou the paper; theu, by menus of tracing paper, trans fer the designs thus made to the linen. Next stretch the linen iu a frame and paste the dowers upon it with smooth paste. Wheu the work is dry remove it from the fiame and button-hole stitoh arouud the edges of the flowers. Theu outline veins and markings with filoselle, aud work the stems iu stem-stitch with crewels. Finish with a fnuge of the linen aud a band of drawn work aud filoselle.

A Bath man tried to "light out” the other day without paying his board, le got his carpet bag out of his hotel ay some means, and left it iu a grocery store until a convenient time of depar ture. Not loug after the proprietor of the bouse was iu the store, recognized the baggage aud saw through the game at ouce. Taking the carpet bag in his band he said to the clerk of the store, Wheu the inau comes after this scud him to me.” The clerk did so but the man is rather reticent as to the result of the interview. The presumption is that lie paid his board. Top dressiDg.uuless very fiuo manure says a writer, is of doubtful advantage with tbo clover piant. The clover is easily smothered by anything covering its leaves. It may, however, pay if the clover is to be turned under under early for a corn or potato crop this season. The best time to manure is before the Sled is town. A to y lighttep-dretsing then will secure a heavy growth. Potato Lioaf—Green.—Mix butter, milk, and seasouiug with the potatoes, theu add any remains of green vegeta- blus,, such as cabbage, cauliflower or, spinach; put a few bread crumbs also stiffen the paste; heat all well iu a sauce pan before puttiug into the mould, or the green part will uot be warmed through; grease a mould, till it with the mixture, tutu it bottom upwards on au old dish or bakiug tin, and set it to brown in a quick oven.

FISK, Den ver, Ooi. to A good lubricant for the preservation of belts is said to be obtained by mix ing rosin oil with ton per cent. mica. In the ease of a new belt several coat ings of this grease ore applied with a brush until it absorbs nc more. After this tbe belt may bo used without any fear of port of the lubricant emerging from it under pressure or tension, nnoe the pores of the leather hold the grease very firmly and only allow a few small drops to appear on the surface. After a few weeks the operation may be re peated on a smaller soale. Some months may then be allowed to elapse without greasing the belt, to which by that tune the lubnoant has imparted a good deal of tenacity and power of resistance. Tbe belt thus lubrifled adheres very well to the pulleys,and is not affected either by the changes in the moisture of the at mosphere or by corrosion. Poverty and Distress. That poverty which produces the greatest distress is not of the purse but of the blood Deprived of its richness it becomes scant and watery, a condition termed tmemia in medical writings. Given this condition, and scrofulous swellings and sores, general and nervous debility, loss of flesh and appe tite, weak lungs, throat disease, spitting of blood aud consumption, are among tbe common results. It you are a sufferer from thin, poor blood employ Dr. Pierce’s ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery,” which en riches the blood and cures these grave affections. Is more nutritive than cod liver oil, aud is harmless iu any condition bt tbe system, yet powerful to cure. By drug gists. OPIUM MOIU’IIINE HABIT No jmy till cured.

Y.: Dear Sir—Twenty years ago I was ship wrecked on the Atlantic Ocean, and the cold and ex|K>sure caused a large abscess to form on each leg, which kept continually discharging. After spending hundreds of dollars, with no benefit, I tried your "Gold en Medical Discovery” aud now, iu less than three months after taking the first bot tle, I am thankful to say I am completely cured, and for the first time in ten years cau put m v left heel to the ground.

Dynamite is oue of the many pro ducts or combinations of mtro-glycer- iue, and is about thirteen times as pow erful as gun p >wder. It consists of a combination of nitro-glycerine with a substance of great absorbent power, such, for instance, as fuller’s earth or rotten stone. By this composition the explosiveness of the nitro-glyoerina is controlled, as it were,und tbe compound is capable of withstanding all the ordi nary dangeis of transportation, while at tbe same time ils explosive power is not lessened. The process of manufacture is very simple. You take a certain pro portion oi nitric aud sulphuric acid and mix them with certain other proportions of glycerine, which is the essence of fat to make the nitro-glycerine. To make dynamite you need ouly mix nitro-gly ceriue with borne absorbent material— fuller’s earth is the best- to have dyna mite. GastiTue. A lady says; "When I feel at all distressed after eating, a tablespoouful of Gastrin K gives me almost instant relief.” Druggists. From wood shavings and paper Herr Heilemann makes plates, dishes, etc..as follows: Selected plane shavings are bound into bundles and steeped into a bath of weak gelatine solution about twenty-four hours, then dried aud cut into suitable lengths. Plates are cut of strong paper or thin pasteboard of the size of the objects to be produced. These are moistened with a liquid consisting of weak gelatine solution v ith sodium waterglass, and pressed in heated me tallic molds. After drying, the pressed paper objects are coated on both sides with an adhesive material made of five parte Russia gelatine and oue part thick turpentine; the shavin s are applied to them, and the whole is subjected to preesare. Wood shavings alone would, because of their unequal thickness, pre sent uneven surlaces. The objects are then cut, dried and varnished. Or.
