I if Hi M i v\ A.QMOOLTURE. I TabUK foVrp.—It is an admitted faot that the majority of tho American peo ple indulge too freely in pork as a meat food. And it in equally true that the major number of faimers and market ponlterera are very indifferent aa to the quality of poultry flesh they send to market. One elasa of our poor people see nothing tempting in the poultry line' to induce them to become lovers of chicken flesh, and the others do not endeavor to produce a fowl that will be universally considered excellent for the table. If we take any of the fancy bred va rieties of poultry there is hardly one ex cept the game, which is what may be oomidered a first class table-fowl. The Dorking, though having a national re putation, is almost tabooed horn the poulterer’s yard on account of being tender and difficult to rear in this coun ter. The Asiatic, as now bred, carries enormous quantities of feathers, while their breasts are almost devoid of flesh, and present little more than a heap of bones when, placed on the table, while their skins are terribly coarse. The Plymouth Book has been bred in the past few years above the natural size. This alone, if no other,would de tract from the quality of its flesh. The Houdan is fast being obanged by those who breed them for exhibition, into an ornamental fowl. The Orevecoeur is also becoming a bird of plumage, and is difficult to raise. The Spanish will never answer for a table fowl, as they are utterly useless for the rough wear and tear of the farmyard. The Ham burgs, Leghorns and Polish are too small for the food market, and do not take on fat kindly. Farmers could not be induced to breed them but tor their eggs only. We are therefore compelled to arrive at the conclusion that among the many varieties of poultry we have not yet succeeded in breeding one which may be considered a prune table fowl. The (jttltubb of Wheat.—Home twelve to fifteen years ago an impression prevailed—indeed the results seemed to establish the fact—that wheat culture in Pennsylvania, like fruit-culture, had run out, and farmers’ clubs and agricul tural papers went full tilt to discussing the reason of it. But subsequently botb took a turn, and we should like to know to-day if any one aares to say that both wheat and iruit cannot be raised as suc cessfully there as in almost any other State. Some said at first that it would last only a little while—now and then we may get along well enough, but who can say how long it will last, or in case failure should come again what we are to do abaut it. This was anti cipating an evil which there was no reason to believe would soon occur again, and as it has not yet returned we hear no more about it. The grumblers are quiet; they take with thanks, we hope, all they receive, and may en tertain the best expectation for the fu ture. The greatest enemy of the wheat crop is too much water. It may be said that the wheat-root is more susceptible to injury from too much water than many of us believe. To be sure there is a general impression that an overdose of water is bad, but the full force of the impression is seldom felt as it deserves to be. Water lying around roots does not always kill the wheat plant, but many of the roots are injured, and the faw that, ara loft ara next a hi a do the work that all were intended to take part in doing. If ^ny one will dig ap a wheat plant in spring which has stood all winter in a wet place, he will see ex actly how this is. ‘ Only living roots close to the surface and below this may be injured, Black Teeth in Hogs.—Two years ago I had a nice shoat. It had black teeth. I asked some of my neighbors what to do for it;lhem told me to knock them out with a hammer and nail and it would get well. I did so and I am sure I got them all out. The hog kept get ting w< rse and died. About the time it died I saw a piece in a newspaper about black teeth in hogs. It said black teeth were not a disease, but simply an indi cation that the hogs w< ra not in a heal thy condition. It gave a recipe, wh:ch was: One ounce tine gundowder for each hog per day; mix well with the food; keep giving till their appearance is for the better. At the time I lost my hog I was keeping two hogs over the winter for a neighbor. Both of bis hogs had black teeth. One of them I took the black teeth out of and the other I did not. I gave the powder for three days and both got well. Good food, clean pen, and room for exercise is es sential. DOMESTIC. Hanging Window CuStains.—When you are ready to hang them, take down your cornice, dust it well, then cover your piano with a sheet or quilt to protect it, and lay your cornice upon it with its lower side next you; find the middle of it, and mark it with a pencil Now take the two curtains belonging to one window, and put the .fronts at the middle of the cornice, lapping them over a couple of inches; put in a tack or two to hold them in place; then fas ten the other side of each curtain to the opposite ends; now find the middle of each curtain and tack it to the quarter of the cornice; this will prevent their being full in some places and scant in others; proceed then to gather the full ness into equai plaits, which fasten with tacks. Do not hammer your tacks in as if they were never to come out; you will only exasperate those who are so unfortunate as to have to-dig them out after you, and you will not keep up your curtains any the better for it. Use large tacks, and do not drive them more than half way in. By putting the cornice on a piano, or other high object, you will be enabled to regulate the folds as you fasten them. Draw the cornice to the edge of the piano, and yon can see just how the curtains will hang at the window A New Apbon.—American Queen: The latest in aprons is called the “Sew ing Apron.” Out the goods in the same manner as for an ordinary apron, gored at the top, and a quarter of a yard al lowed for the hem. Turn the bottom up and cut it to fit the sides. Bind the pocket with satin ribbon; if of wash goods, simply hem. The sides may be left nncut, if desired, and a piece of elastic run through the hem. Place bows of ribbon on each side of the pock et, and embroider a design of flowers across the top in colored silks, or with embroidery cotton. In the lower left- hand corner work in Kensington, a spool of thread, scissors, etc. In the opposite comer work in fancy letters a suitable motto, such as “A stitch in time saves nine,” or “How does the lit tie busy bee improveeaoh shining hour.” The pocket may be divided by means of shirrs into two or three compartments, which will be found of great conveni ence in making leather-edge or thread crochet. The goods may be of muslin, linen, pongee or silk. The apron may be fastened around the waist by long strings of narrow ribbon, or by a plain band. Trimming Lamps.—The best way, by far, is not to trim them at all. It is very difficult to out the wiok evenly all round and any portion or point left higher than the rest, gives an irregular flame, if not smoke. All that is needed, is to remove the thoroughly charred portion at the top. Tarn the wick np just enough to expose this part, and rub it off with a cloth or with soft paper; the top of the wick will then be even with the fire line all around. To prevent soiling the lamp or table, the charred part am be piuched off mainly, giving it a finely smoothing rub. The dark portion that will not mb off, is quite as good as the unbnrned parts, and will light more quickly. When impure oil is need, the wick becomes coated all through with dust or dirt, and when this accummulates so as to interfere with the ascent of the oil, a new wick is essential THE EFFECTS of mustard upon the Human System,—It not only excites the salivary secretions and awakens the indolent stomach from its languor, bat it appears to confer upon the system several remarkable physiological condi tions. One author, experienced in ex perimental gastronomy, asserts that, by some occnlt virtue, it replenishes the smouldering flame of vitality, while others claim that it strengthens the memory, enlivens the imagination, and renders the perceptive qualities more clear. Horstius, a physician of the six teenth century, who bore the surname of "The Esculapins of Germany,” de clared that it gave birth to wit. The Art of ciubing Fork.—First be sure that the barrel in clean and sweet, as, if this is not the case, it will make little difference what precantion may be used, the pork will not keep well Use the best kind of coarse salt; put a layer of salt at the bottom, and on this a layer of meat closely packed; and thus keep on till the meat is all packed. Then put on water enough to make a strong brine, so that the meat is all covered. As long as it is kept under the brine, yon are sure to have good sweet perk.

Alford & Co., dealers m Firearms and Cutlery, Baltimore, was prostrated here, with the “break-bone fever;” he asserts that in his own, as well as in the case of others, the only thing found to relieve this painful malady was St. Jacob’s Oil. This wonderful pain- cure has the endorsement of such men as Ex-Postmaster General James, Senator Daniel W. Yoorhees, and an army of others. * Hold on a minute 1” called a man at the postoffice to another who was hurry ing off “Can’t do it—great hurry—see yon later,” was the reply. “I say, hold on!” “Can’t possibly do it—got to be at the bank in three mi antes.” “Say 1” “Can’t do it—so long.” “See here," persisted the man, *T wan’t yon to stop into the alley here and see a horse I’m going to buy.

Sewing-Machine Industry. These remarkable items pour into our office daily. Mr.H.S. IfULLEK, with the New Home Machine Company,of Orange, Mass., writes, May 23, 1883: “I have used Hunt’s Remedy in my family for over ten years. My wife was troubled with catarrh of the bladder, suffered intense pain in the kidneys and loins, and urination was accomplished with the greatest of agony. My friends thought that she could not recover. \Ve tried doctors and medicines, and although better at times she would grow worse again. She wasobliged to use the urinal as many astifte- n times in a night, and was growing worse daily. At this time my attention was called to Hunt’s Remedy, and I concluded to try it; and alter using one bottle she was a good deal better, the inflamma ion was reduced,and the water more natural. She began to gain in appetite and felt no pain in the back and kidneys. She could attend to her household work without pain, and this had been a great burden to do, even the lightest kind of work. After using six bottles she was completely cured. Since then l have had occasion to use Hunt’s Remedy for kidney and liver com- plaints.auil tound it to be just os represented, and I consider it a most wonderful medicine. I would not be without Hunt’s Remedy in my family; and I have recommended it to my friends here in Orange with equally good results.” _ _ A bad tax-payer: “What’s the value of your personal property, old man ?” asked a tax assessor of a negro. “What yer wanter know dat far?’" “So we’ll know how much to make you pay.” “My stuff's dun paid fer, sah.” “Yes, but yen’ll have to pay taxes on your household goods.” “Da taxed me enongh in de fast place, sah. Ain’t agwine ter pay no mo’!” “If yon don’t you can’t vote at the next election I” “All light. Da don’t count my vote nohow. Go off somewhar and tax a man fur habin de rhenmatiz.” “I sde,” she observed M she looked np from het paper, “thftt another wo man who Iras perfectly sane all the time has just been relea >d from a lun atic asylum after a detention of three years.” “Yes,” briefly replied the husband. “She was inoareerated by her hus band.” “Yes.” “Who wanted her out of the way that he might marry another woman.” “Yes.” “In case yon desired to dispose of me yon would probably have me shat np in a innatio asylum.” “No, ma’am; I sbonld poison yon. That’s the cheaper and better way. As a man of bosinesa, and as an advo cate of financial economy, I have thought this matter over, time and again, and I should certainly prefer to spend fifteen cents for arsenic to paying out $10 to $15 per week for goodness knows how long.” She looked at him a long time with a whole iceberg In each eye, and then turned to her paper with the remark: “Just like your stingy ways; you never want me to have anything like other folks/ Druggist*, Take Notice. The Supreme Court of Fenasylvanis having sustained the District Coart of Al legheny county, granting to R. E.

To Kill Daisies,—A heavy crop of clover is snre death to daisies, They seem to he smothered by the ranker growth of clover, and fail to mature their seeds. In a field where there is a growth of daisies a generous use of fer tilizers, especially of barnyard manure, and keeping the field seeded to clover, nsing an extra quantity of seed for this purpose and breaking np every two years, cultivating for a while and again seeding to clovtr thickly, will finally eradicate the daisies. Drilling Corn.—An English agricul turist announces as the result of careful experiment and observation the conclu sion that where corn is drilled from east to west the yield is mnch larger than when drilled from north to south, as in the former ease the son can shine down the rows, whereas, in the latter case, each row makes a kind of wall whiob shade a the next row. There is so mnch common sense in this that many will wonder why they did not think of it be fore. The time to sow buckwheat is the lat est day that will allow the crop to ma ture before frost; bat we cannot say when frost will appear, so it ts necessa ry to make some allowance. A good prao'.iee is to fit the land early,say \ 1 >w before the middle of Jane, cultivate well about ten days later,and again jost before sowing the seed, which sbonld sot be later than the 10th of July in this latitude. That will provide for quick germination,and gro«th,if not letarded, will be complete before the middle of September, and that ia early enongh to escape frost in ordinary seasou. Wheat Land.—Stubble ground in tended for wheat should be ploughed as soon as possible after the crop is re moved. With early ploughing an oat or barley stubble may be made almost equal to a summer fallow by the time the ground is wanted for win at seeding. There is nsnaliy a period of six weeks Between harvest and wheat sowing. In that time thistles and quack can be greatly cheeked if no apear of either is allowed above groond. Roast Gbiskin of Pork —Ingredients, pork, a little powdered sage. Mode— As this joint frequently comes to the table hard and dry particular core should be taken that it is well basted; put it before a bright fire and flour it; roast in the usual manner; about ten minutes before taking it np sprinkle over some powdered sage; make a little gravy in the dripping pan; strain it over the meat and serve it with a tureen of apple sauce. This joint will be done in much less tune when the skin is left on, consequently sbonld have the greatest attention that it is not dried up. A spare rib of pork can be roasted in the same way. Lamb’s Fry. - -Boil the fryfor a quarter of an hoar m three pints of water; take it oat and dry it in a cloth; grate some bread down finely; mix with it a tea- spoonful of ohopped parsley, and a sea Boning of pepper and salt. Brush the fry lightly over with the yolk of an egg; sprinkle over the bread crumbs, and fry for five minutes. Serve hot, on a nap kin, in a dish and garnish with plenty of crisp parsley. Disinfection by Sulphur —To disin fect ckthing it should be slightly sponged or sprinkled with water con taining well mingled milK of sulphur, in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint of water, and then ironed with a fiat-iron, heated to a temperature sufficient to volatilize the sulphur with out baruing the olo hing.

The advantages mentioned in its favor aie, among others, that it burns steadily even when the train goes at express speed; that the light does not interfere with the visibility or distinc tive colors of the signals; and that nei ther the engine driaers, nor employes of the train carrying the light,nor those of oth er appi caching trains are dazzled by it, and thus the oadioary dangers arising from this sonree are almost en tirely avoided.

A manufacturer in Vienna employs the following process for silvering iron: He first covers the iron with meronnr, and silvers bp the galtonie process. By heating to 300 degrees 0., the mercury evaporates and the -liver layer is fixed. Iron-ware is first treated with dilated hodroehlotio acid, and then dipped into a solution of nitrate of mercury, being at the same time in oommonioation with the zinc pole of an electric battery, a piece of gas carbon or platinom being used as an anode for the other pole.The metal is soon covered with a layer of quicksilver, is then taken out and well washed and silvered in a silver solution. To save silver the ware can be first cov ered with a layer of tin; one part of cream of tartar is dissolved in eight parts of boiling water, and one or more tin anodes are joined with the carbon pels of a Bunsen element. The zinc pole communicates with a well-cleaned piece of copper, and the battery is made to ac t till enongh tin has deposited on the copper, when this is taken out and the iron-ware pnt in its place. Ware thus covered with tin, chemically pore and slivered, is much cheaper than oth er silvered metals.
