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.

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. D. and (JouuseUor,
Tribunal, of Justice, Lima, Republic of
Peru, save: Oue tingle application of St.
Jacob s Oi 1 , cured me completely of rhem
matic pains in my left arm. 1 recom
mended it to two ot my friends, the Mrs.
Dona Juana Garcia, widow, and Mr. D.
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! Where is it
to be?’
"At home, love; the dearest place on
earth, the conservatory of our afleetions,
in which bloom the freshest, fairest
flowers of hope and happiness, oontent-
mout aud satisfied serenity.”

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. She tried mauy so-cu led reme
dies wilhout avail, growing rapidly worse, when
her attention-va* called to Huut's Remedy. She
purchased a boltle from Lowell s drii£, store, la
<'ambndgeport, aud after tasmg the Oral dose she
began to feel 1 asier, she could sleep well, and
alter continuing its use a sh irt time the severe
pains in her back aud side entirely disappeared,
and she is a well woman. Mauy of our relatives
and fnen Is have used Hunt’s Remedy with the
most gratifying results. I have recommended it
many times, aud as many tunes heard the same
story. Hunt's lb medy is all that is claimed for
it. and a rein blessing to all afflicted wild kidney
or liver trouble.’’
Improvement of Grain by Selection.
—The principal of scloctiou has loug
beoa appreciated by stock-oreeders.aud
they Lave largely profited by tbo appli-
catiou of its teacnings. 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

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

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

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.

Thousands of women bless the day on

was made known to th'un. In all those
derangements causing backache, dragging-

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.

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.
