V f' B Boots fob Sharp.—It is possible for ne to lean), very muoh from the farmers of Europe. They are under the neces sity of making the utmost profit that any branch of agriculture will yield. Consequently their farming operations are reduced to a science. Ours ought to oe, but while we have so much laud that is practically exhaustless in fertili ty we shall not bend our energies to make every foot of land and every ani mal produce to the extent of its ability. There will also be exceptions, however. There will always be farmers who will try to do the best they can, upon the very common-sense principle that when two dollars can be made just as well as one it is better to take the two. Such men, if they happen to be engaged in sheep husbandry, will make a study of European systems of breeding, feeding and management The Englishman has made sheep raising profitable to a very high degree. Be has shown us how to improve our sheo r y careful breeding, and he can shoi» t how to mrnage them with profit C. course, it s not practical for us to follow Europe an systems of feeding literally, but in these systems we can find the principle of success. In England roots are large ly fed, and there is a question if they are not fed to too large an extent espe cially those that contain such a large .mount of water os turnips. But in this country, as a rule, we do not feed enough. Jn the work on “Feeding Animals,” by Professor Steweart, it is stated, as the result ot careful experi ment, that ten pounds of turnips with one and a half pounds of corn will fat ten a young sheep or lamb faster than three pounds of corn alone. The feed ing of roots in Englond, although we believe it is too extensive, is the secret ef successful sheep-feeding in wiuter there. It will be more widely adopted here. Professor Stewart says that this this will be the case unless the silo shall preserve better green food at a less price. Well, we do not believe the silo will ever do it. It could preserve bet ter food if the crop to be ensilaged was carelully selected, but we cannot get rid of our doubts that the cost will more than outweigh its supemrity. Boots are good enough for sheep and they are cheap. Sumuer Treatment of Grass Lands. —We have not a just conception of the value of our grasses, nor of the possi bility ol procuring the luli value from them, Our system is not adapted to this. We seed to grass for the purpose of destroying it very soon, while a meadow should improve in value yearly for a century, if it is properly managed. Some think our climate is not suitable for grass. The magnificent blue grass pastures of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and West Virginia, and the great "-est- eru prairies which have borne their pe rennial verdure for ages, contradict this belief. If w e grow the right kind ot grass we may have permauent meadows and pastures; and if we treat them in a judicious manner these may be kept in good condition always. There are a great variety of grasses. The formei, of comse live but one year, and then the roots die. Of this kind are those late summer grashes which we are apt to call weeds; the second are longer lived, but soon tail aud gradually die Irom exhaustion of the root Of this kind is timothy, the best grass to grow with a biennial plant like clover in ro tation, but a very poor one for a meadow or pasture. The long perennial grasses are orcbaid grass, meadow fescue, tall fescue, foul meadow grass, red top, Kentucky blue grass, meadow oat glass, yellaw' out grass, perennial rye grass, and some others which are not less noteworthy aud useful. All these grasses have fibrous roots, or running root stocks, which spread and cover the ground with a dense mat or sod. Our object should be to procure aud pre serve a sod of this kind, and encourage its growth, both in pustme and n.oad- ows, by careful, skilful treatment. This should consist of occasional top dressing with fine manure, or such fertilizers as plaster, super phosphate of lime, bone dust, Peruvian guano, wcod ashes, 01 potash salts, with a mixtuie of nitrate of soda. Three or four dollars per acre thus spent every second or third year will be liberally repaid by the mor. productive condition of the m endow. Fresh seed will lie required occasionally in spots where the adverse seasons may have caused injury, and with such nursing and feeding as this, grass may be kept in permanently good condition, fur no one as yet has learned how long, hut it has been so kept for Lundietls ot years. Cahefil experiments in Germany seem to show that cows milked three times a day yield milk noher m fat than if milked but twice daily. There also appears to be a somewhat larger yield ot milk from the three milkings, in one instance reported the difference in the yield for eleven days, the cows being first milked three times a day for that period aud then twice a day for same period, was five pounds o milk a day. Huch a gain, both in quantity and rich ness, would make a large item in the course of a year, Fot a couple of bushels of well-rotted stable manuie aliout the trunk of each tree, scatter a little grain upon it and turn in the poultry. They will scratch among the manure, making fine and mixing it with the soil, and will destroy multitudes of destiuctiye insects. Young fruit trees, which were set out last autumn or this spring, will be more sure to live and grow well if the soil about them is kept clean and mellow, aud a hard crust not allowed to form for a distance of at least two or three feet on each fide. Mr. D. 0. Hommeel, of Knoxville, Tenu., shows up a strawberry of the “Sharpless” variety that measured eight and one quarter inches in circum lerence. The Massachusetts Ploughman says that in a hot-house, 7oi20, Mr. 0. L. Goodpov, of South Sudbury, raises 10- 000 encumbers, many of which averaged thirty-five cents each. Caution is necessary in feeding green rye or clover and rank grass for soiling for fear of bringing on hoven, or other diseases. Feed a small ration at first, gradually increasing the quantity. In answer to inquiries why hens lay aoft eggs, it may be stated that the difficnlty is caused by a lack of lime. Pounded oyster shells should he withiB easy reach of fowls at all times. There is no cure for a horse with confirmed heaves;climate, food and care will uo much for its aleviation. Forest City Whitefish with Wine. —After the fish has been scaled and washed, split it down the back, and, cutting close to the sides of the back bone, carelully free the fiesh from the bones; next lay the halves of the fish thus cut from the back-bone skin down on the table; hold the tail-end of the skin tightly in the left hand, and with a sharp, thin knife out the flesh from the skin, pressing the blade of the knife fiat against the skin, and cutting away from the left hand. When all the akin has been removed cat the fish in pieces about three inches square aud season them with salt and pepper: butter a large soup plate, lay the fish in it, cov er it with white wine, turn over It another buttered soup plate and bake the fish in a moderate oven for about twenty minntes, or until the flakes begin to separate, bnt take care not to let it brown; serve it hot as soon as it is done. Have ready when the fish is done a tablespoonfnl each of butter and flour, stirred over the fire to a smooth paste; into this paste drain the wine and fish juice in the soup plate, stir the sauce quickly ovei the fire until it boils, and then serve it hot with the fish, sending the sauce to the table in a gravy boat. Preservation of Woolen Garments. —Remember to brush or shake woolen or black garments when taking them off. The gritty particles with which the air is filled—particularly in regions where coal is the chief fuel—will grind and injure any fabric—if not faithfully shaken ofl—twice as fast as wearing the garment can do. First, shake the dress energetically, either out in the hall, or if fair, better still, out of the window, then with an old soft silk handkerchief, kept for that purpose, gently rub the dress, instead ol using a cloth brush. It will cleanse equally well, aud does not wear the fabric. Bust naturally settles in folds, flounces and trimming, and if left, will so in fill every puff and gather full of dirt. Shake the handker chief out of the window every few min utes to get rid of any particles of the dirt. Corns.—Here is something which is worth muoh to people with corns. We have used it and know that it is good. It is Gezon’s remedy. Take thirty grains of salicilic acid, ten grains of ex tract of cannabis iudica aud one-half fluid ounce of collodion gun-cotton, dissolved in sulphuric ether. Put a lit tle of this upon a com or wart every night and morning. A plaster will be formed in four or live days. Soak the feet in warm water and the plaster can be removed, the coru coming vith it. If not entirely taken out, repeat the application. To Save the hands from Chapping. —Moapsuds will not chap or injure the hands, even if kept a loug time in it, if on taking tnem from the suds, they are thoroughly sponged, or dipped in lemon juice or vinegar. The acid destroys the corrosive effects of the alkali aud makes the hands so.t and white. Indian meal and lemon juice used when washing the hands, when roughed by cold or bard work, will neal ami soften them. Vin egar will answer if lemons are not easily obtained. Rub the hands in this, then wash thoroughly, and if you have it, after drying, rub ou a few drops of glyctriue. Those who suffer from chapped hands in the winter will find this comlorting, and will make sewing much easier. Soft Crabs, Fried with Salt Pork. — Wash the crabs, remove the soft fins, make a semi-circular cut just back of the eyes, aud throw away the piece cut out; roll the crabs in Indian meal soned witn nail and pepper. "■ *'.T tm en crabs allow a pound >i milt pork; slice it rather thin, and fry it light brown :n a largo frying-pan; when the porK is brown take it up aud keep it hot; fry the crabs brown on both sides in the hot pork drippings, and then aeive them hot, ou the than with the fried jtork. Lobster Sauce for Foiled Fish.— One small lobster, lour tableapooufuls of blitter, two of flour, one fifth of a teaspoouml of cayenne, two tablespoon- tnls of lemon juice, one pint of boiling water. Cut the meat into dice. Pound the ’’coral” with one tablespoonful of the butter. Rub the flour and the re mainder of the butter to a smooth paste. Add the water, pounded “coral,” and butter, and the seasoning. Simmer five minutes, aud then strain on the lobster, Boil up once aud serve. A wriier in one of the medical jour* nals says lie has found the application of a strong solution of chronio acid, three or four times a day, by means of a camel’s-hair pencil, to be the best and easiest method of removing warts. Girl’s need health as muoh—nay more than lioys. They can obtain it as boys do, by running, tumbling, by all sorts of innocent vagrancy. At least once a day girls should have their hal ters taken off, the bars let down and be turned loose like young colts. It is not well to forget that the best pumpkins pies are made of squashes. Pumpkine for cows, pumpkins for hogs, and squashes lor everything, is a good rule. I A change of air is less valuable than a change of scene. The air is changed every time the direction of the wind is changed. A novelty in lace is the Pompadour pattern—a darned net, with a fine pearl ed edge aud a raised figure iu silk mus lin.

N Dixon, of Iowa, sprayed his ap ple orchard with arsenic water to era dicate the canker worms and unexpeo- tediy found it a remedy for the coddling Uncle Joe Mills has added to his many other accomplishments that of dealing snooeesfully in horses. A short time ago he took one for a bad debt of $250, and immediately offered him for sale. A customer was soon found, and Mr. Mills took him out in the Central Park behind the horse. Uncle Joel descanted volubly on the merits of the steed, and finally as he turned round to go home, said: “Well, I don’t know but I’ll withdraw my offer to sell this horse aud keep him for my own use/’ His companion protested against this, said he liked ths horse, aud was pre - pared to make a bid for him. Mr. Mills hesitated a moment and then said: TU take $1,000 for that horse, and not one cent less. He’s the best horse that goes the road to-day, and he is dirt cheap at twice the price I ask.” 'TU giye you $300 for him,” was the reply. “Done with you, sir,” was the quick reply. “I'm not the man to dally split- hairs ou a horse trade. The Meaclowa of Maryland. Springfield, Pkinoe George's Co., Mo. Mr. Chas. G. Addison, of the above place states: “1 sprained my right knee causing intense suffering, and the use of crutches for several weeks. 1 found no relief in other remedies and finally tried the mira cle of cure, Su Jacobs Oil. la a short time 1 could bend my knee—which had been as stiff as an iron-rod,—laying aside my crutches and was able to walk as well as ever.” “Bay!” exclaimed a hotel guest, cal ling the attention of au urbane waiter, “this is a terrible deal you are giving me iu the way of butter.” “It’s slightly off color, isn’t it?” in quired the waiter. “I should say it was.” “Rancid?” “You bet” •‘Strong?” “Strong as a mule.” “Aud fearfully frowy?” “Worst I ever saw in my life.” “Yes; well, that proves it’s genuine butter, don’t it? If it was oleomargarine there wouldn’t be nothing the matter with it. There is considerable differ ence now-a-days between churn butter aud painted tallow.” A Veteran Soldier. Mr. Q. F. Bowles, of No. ‘u Common Street, Lymi.

I thought this was one of the coolest place in the coun try?” “My dear sir, this is an off year, you know.

W rite for circular* KiDBEffg edetiown Brazilian Vehicles and Drivers. The common job wagon of Para ia a moat olumay affair- a mere cart with out apringa and with but two wheels, the whole guiltless of paint. The harness found with this vehicle always consist a of a little square wooden fy^dle resting on a straw-stuffed cushion, ffaces of chain, leather collar and no bits, the animal being guided by means ef a long rope fastened to the neck, and peril!’pa also wound around the head. Home- times this carriage is drawn by a single ox, but usually a wretched mule is urged along by blows from the knotted end of a rope or a short wooden whip with loug leather lash. The driver is always clothed iu a suit of blue drilling made in two garments only—pants and short, loose jacket. The pants are confined to the waist by some sort of a long lash, wound many times aronud the body. The square-cat jacket is finished with a straight binding about tbe neck, and is only buttoned at the throat, and falling open tLo rest of the way gives coolness to the wearer, and at the same time dis closes his natural complexion to every one. No business house of North Brazil has anything to do with delivering par cels of groeories, etc., so tnat the busi ness of this cartman is to solicit orders for taking Lome your purchases. Ou the way he trots nimbly by the side of his team, or else is perched on the thill of the rude cart, swinging his bare feet while he clings to his narrow seat, his loud, shrill aud tuneless whistle only broken by his occasional rxclamation of •‘Caminha!’’ which is an imperative “Go.” There is now bnt one express wagon with springs iu the city of Para. This one has been in great demand for moving pianos, but as it was not always readily obtaiued a regular company of men has been organized for the purpose. The piano-moving company consists of negroes, who carry the instruments ou their heads, aiid for their services are paid at the rate of $5 per mile. Advice to Consumptives.

D., says in regard to trichinae in swine that it is a well-es tablished laet that tho real source of in fection in swine lies entirely in the rat. A committee of Vienna physiciauM found iu Moravia 37 per cent, of rats examined triciiinous; iu Vienna aud its environs 10 per cent., aud in Lower Austria 4 per cent. The well-known yoiacity of the hog, and its special fondness for meat, causes it to feed upon the flesh and excrements of other animals infested with tbese parasites, aud especially rats and mice. To prevent trichinous swine it is highly important to cut off alkthe sources of disease iu the diet of these animals. Tit# rrazHi- Axle tirea-e Is tbe best in tbe marker.
