AGRICULTURE. * GBASS OB CULTITATBD GBOUND FOB Pbabs.—Nothing seemB more surprising than the rapid movement which seems to have been made the last fifteen to twei.ty years in favor of growing pear tieea in grass. We well remember, when the subject was first mooted, what a storm the suggestion made. It was looked on as the height of absurdity, and those who recommended it were thought to be lunatics ot the most con firmed description. We never took any sides in this question until our own ex perfenoe proved its value, and when we have successful instances of pear oul tore in grass, as we often had. We do not deny that there are many good cul tivators who have excellent success in what is called clean culture of pear or ohards. The’r error has been in regar ding it as the one successful plan. As we have said, it is rather remarkable how great is the change the other way; and we should not be surprised one of these days to find the public running to the opposite extreme, and insisting that in grass only pears can be grown. We are confident that the crops are more regular, the fruit more perfect, and the trees are better protected against blight We do not, in fact, ever remember hav ing a pear tiee to die of blight—not that we believe grass is a perfect protection, only that such is the fact. The ground is uniformly cooler grass than in culti vated lane, and generally is more moist, and then, too, the roots are never dis . torbed. We have lost several standard and a number of dwarf trees by blight, in fact, latterly not a year passes that there is not a diminution of our trees in this way; while in grass nothing but old age seems to cause them to succumb. When we say that we have three trees on our premises said to be full 150 years old, in good bearing condition, one of them apparently as good as ever it was, we think there is good ground for our opinion. ’ Liohteb Barns and Stables.—The rule observed in nearly all modern hou- aes, says an exchange, is to make a dwelling as light and cheerful as possi ble. Men no longer put wiudows in their houses two feet wide and three feet high, with panes of glass six by eight inches in size. The rule now runs in the other direction. They want all the light they can get; the more the better They have learned the value of sunlight not only on the mind, but also on the health. People don't thrive in cells from which daylight has been ex cluded. Even our tamers, who are sometimes slow to follow the fashions of the hour, admit the correctness and pro priety ol this modern innovation. The comfortable modern farm house resem bles the statelier city mansion in this re spect. There are large windows on all sides, and plenty of them. They feel better in mind and body for them, and would not do without them. But here nearly all farmers stop. They recognize the great benefits that result from well- lighted dwellings, but when it comes to building barns, they almost invariably ignore this principle. They want to live in the light themselves, but they consign their homes and cattle to the darkness and obscurity which are char acteristic of our old-lushioned barns aud stables. There are no reasons for be lieving that domestic animals do not enjoy light quite as mi.ch as human be- ^ have proven that cows give more and better milk when changed from dark stables to light ones, and also that they . can be kept in better condition on less food. It returned to their former quar ters the flow ot milk shrinks at once. Is a stronger argument in favor ot lighted stables needed? When the gases and smells of a stable combine with dark ness, the sight of horses is injured. Win dows that snail admit fresh air as well as light ate absolutely essential to their general health. In many new barns Wiese requisites arc carefully observed. The animals seem to appreciate the changed c< ndition of things as greatly as human beings would. Let the same principles we apply in our houses be applied to barns and stables. If we linu it beneficial, agreeable aud desira ble in our oh u eases, have we not rea son to thin kit is equally desirable to the inferior animals committed to our oare? •M b. R. R. Lewis, of Atco, Camden couniy, N, J., in order to test the mer its ot white Leghorns as market chicks, used the Ply mouth Rock as a compari son. Mr. Lewis, in collecting his flock of one dozen fowls, procured a cook of large size aud gnat vigor, while the hens were selected not only for size but for their laying qualities also,which is a remarkable trait with this breed. In nearly all eases every egg in the sittings hatched. When the enicks reached 9 weeks of age, be weighed ten of them, chosen promiscuously, and the weight was 16$ pounds, or a fraction over one and a half pounds each. Ten Plymouth Rocks of the same age as the White Leghorns weighed louneen pounds, the result of (he oomparLou being a sur prise. The experiment demonstrates what may be done by careful selection of the parent stock, as the Leghorns, as a olacs, are much smaller than Ply- mouth Rocks. The follow'ing is from the Oswego Timtt: ‘Attention having been called to the recoid of remarkable oows,Henry Lewis gives the following iu relation to an animal owned by him. The oow is 18 years old, and Mr. Lewis has owned her four years. Durh g that time she has been dry only six days, and a* near as can be ascertained has been dry not to exceed three months since her first oalf. Following is a statement of the number ot pounds of milk piven in one year: April, 700; M»v, 931: June, 971; July, 811; August, 856; September 233; October, 348,November 941; Decernbt r 852;January, 840; Febru«iry,8)8;March, 877; total, 8768. Sue has done bettor since under more favorable cironmstau oes. She gave on an avenge last win ter 28 pounus of milk daily, and now gives 40 pounds without slop. Her milk is very hch and will compare favorably with the beet Jerseys. She is native bred. A sensible suuoestion: "Let us try to breed as many twenty-one pound cows as is possible, with constitutions and digestion* that can bear a severe test, aud we will not find it necessary to continue the forcing process to get superior yields. We cannot expect and do not waut our road-horse to trot his mile in 2 15 every day, but if he has shown that he can do it he is pretty safe to rely on for a 2.40 gait whenever we call on him,” Saving Trouble.—Learn the cows to come to the bars night and morning by simply baiting them with % handful of meal slightly seasoned with salt. This Will save time and leg muscle. DOMESTIC. It is a mistake to bleach an old en graving with ohloride of lime or oxalio acid, or either of these chemicals singly. The "old” appearance of an old engrav ing is one of the things that it should possess, and it is bad taste to attempt to rejuvenate it to make it appear like a new print. The only treatment that an old engraving should receive is a care ful washing in pure cold water. This, if properly done, will remove from the print all that ought to be removed— dirt, dust, fly-specks and the like. To do this properly, a piece of ordinary mosquito-netting should be taken, large enough to accommodate the print, and the ends stitched over to allow the in sertion of a stick of wood (a section of a broom-stick will answer), to serve as a convenient holder. The print should be laid fiat on this, immersed in a bath of clean water, and from time to time moved to and fro under a gentle stream of water directed upon the soiled places. The mosquito-netting will serve to sup port the paper aud prevent its tearing. If left long enough in the water and carefully handled in the manner de scribed, the dirt, dust and specks will be found to be effectually removed and Che print much Improved in appearance. If the paper is much defaced by yellow ish or browhish spots— a characteristic which is very common to old prints—it may be advantagous to apply chloride of lime carefully with c camel’s Hair pencil to one spot after another, watch ing its effect closely, and washing off immediately in a stream of water, and thus pencil out the spots until the pa per has a uniform tint, commencing at the nmm)X)rtant places to get into the the right way of doing it, and working cautiously up to the important parts. A good deal has been said through the papers about the healthfulness of lemons. The latest advice is how to use them so they will do the most good, follows: Most people know the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but few know that It is more than doubled by taking another at right also. The way to get the better of the billions system without blue pills or quinine, is to take the juice of one, two or three lemons, as appetite craves, in as much ice water as makes it pleasant to drink without sugar, before going to bed. In tbe morning, on rising, at least a half hour beiore breakfast, take the juioe of one lemon in a goblet of water. This will clear the system of humor aud bile with efficacy, without any of the weakening effects of calomel or congress water. People should not irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear, the powerful acid of tbe juioe, which is almost cor rosive, invariably produces inflammation a'ter a while, but properly deluted so that it does its medical work without harm, and, when the stomach is clear of food, has abundant opportunity to work over the system thoroughly, says a medical authority. Old Bunch Bowls.—Many of the handsome old China punch bowls, which were the pride of our great grand mothers’s ancestral hearts, are yet un cracked or skilfully repaired. In them were compounded sundry "possets” and wheys—lot us hope they tasted as gooa as the sound implies—by way of a night-cap. It is a pity to relegate these antique bowls, "where China’s ramaut vu-tlmH xlvtxl. th« aanraat. Hi.tv- ers that blow, to the seclusion of a corner cupboard, with the motly herd of cups, plates and pitchers. If you are fortunate to possess an old punch bowl, hll it with a pot-f»ourri of fragrant rose leaves, and set it oh a drawing room mantel or steady corner table, where it will breathe forth a perfume of faded sweets, an oconpation worthy of the bright flowers painted on its sides. Strained tea (eold) is good to clean black silk or black cashmere, if very dirty. Wash first with potato water (grated raw), and then clean off with strained tea. Water in which ammonia has been dissolved is useful for cleaning colored silks, or take benzine to remove the worst stains, and then wash off with ammonia water. If the black silk has become brown and shabby, soak iu a decoction of logwood, putting it in while the mixture is hot. If the color is faded from dark silks, make a tea of ivy leaves, and soak the piece in it. Clean velvet with bread-crumbs and powdered Fiench chalk, using a brush. Raise the nap by steaming on the under side and holding the flattened spot over a heated iron.

Put in the bowl a la^er of leaves, sprin kle with salts and spices, then another layer, and so on till the j at is full. Let it stand a day. then stir well daily for a mouth with a wooden spoon. Breakfast (Scene (One of the hasty dishes).—To 1 lb. of flour about half a pint of sweet buttermilk, rather less than half a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda aud a pinon or two of salt. Mix the so a aud salt with the buttermilk, rather less than half a teaspoonful of 'larbonate of soda and a pinch or two of salt. Mix the sods and salt with the buttermilk, add it to the flour, when it should be a firm paste. Roil into a smooth, round oake and bake it on the griddle, frequently turning it to prevent burning. Eoos a la Tripe.—Cut half a dozen onions in shoes, let them fall in rings and fry tbem in a very little butter, without browning them. Take them out and mix a spoonful of flour with the butter in the pan to make a paste, add milk or oroth to make a smooth, thick sauce. Put in the onions and stew gently until tender. Shoe in rings the whites of some hard-boiled eggs, leaving the yelks whole.

The passengers in the sleeping-car had retired, some half hoar since, and were just going off into their'first naps, when the voioe of a woman was heard above the noise of the oars and the rattle of the tempest. "How the wind blows 1” it exclaimed. Every passen ger heard the voice, gave a snort of dissatisfaction and turned over. Just ia everybody bad got half-asleep, again oame the plaint, "How the wind blows 1” Again the snorts of displeasure were heard, aud again each passenger turned over. All was quiet for perhaps ten minutes. Then a third time oame the monotonous remark, "How the wind blows!” An elderly gentleman in one of the centre berths stuck his head through the drapery of his couch and oourteonsly remarked: "My dear mad am, we are all under great obligations to you for your meteorological obser vations, bat did you ever know of a wind that didn’t blow ?” A suppressed caenmnation meandered through the oar, and then all was qniet.
