AGRICULTURE. A Good Corn Crnp.—Indian corn is the great cereal crop of the northern United States, and it is important to know what are the condition most favor able for its growtb. The extensive ex periments made under the direction of Professor Atwater, teach us, already, some lessons as to the best conditions tor the growth of the corn plant. It is evident that the plant must have an abundance of food, and that this food must be in the most acceptable form. We do not know to a certainty how much of any one element of food it the proper amount and yet as we fail to dis cover the best for them all to be pre sented to the plant. But we do know some general principles, and should ap ply them as far as possible to the cul ture of the crop, it is known that corn lias a semi-tropical nature—it loves the warm months—and therefore its season of growth must be limited. “About corn-planting time” is when the settled weather comes,and the soil is beginning to warm np with the heat of long days aud a high sun. W.th the short season before it the grain shonld be in the soil just as soon as it will grow vigorously. The good com ground is then one that is warm early. This will depend some what upon the season, and very largely upon location and the soil. Passing season and location beyond control, the soil shonld be made as warm as it can be by thorough underdraining, and the best of tillage. While it is very impor tant to have the soil deep, warm, moist and mellow, that is not all—it must be rich. The soil is not simply the place where the grains of corn are planted that they may grow—a mere inactive seed bed —but the substance from which the young corn plants must derive a large part of their food, from the time they germinate until the corn is ripe in the ear. If this food is present and in an available form, there is good reason to hope for a tine crop, Suoh a soil is “a good com ground ” This deliuitiou does not include any previous crop; it does not say a turned sod is the ground lor corn, in muny systems of crop ro tation it may follow best after grass,and do better than am of the other crops in the rotatiou, but thousands of ex periments sho**’ that corn follows ooru wiih success, provided you have the essential elements of food present and the condition right lor their being used at once. A writer says; “There is scarcely a farmer who does not plant a larger acreage than he can profitably attend to and the result is that three acres hard ly cron out so much as one ought to, and we hear of twenty, thiity or forty bushels of com to the aero where it ought to be sixty to one hundred bush els, aud it the time spent on twenty acres was spent on ten, and the manure dribbled on twenty were judiciously used ou the ten, there would be ten acres to put in grass, set to enriching it self and at the same time making splen did pasturage for a half score of year lings, besides realizing fully as much corn as in the old-style way, and in stead of plowing the corn only two or three times we had better plow it six times. Now 1 know whereof 1 speak. During a drought several years ago a certain farmer bade his boys plow the corn seven times that Hummer,and while the neighbors’ cribs were very lean that year his crop was the largest over gath ered on that farm.’,’ Clouted cream is made by heating the milk to 180 degrees, and then set ting it in the usual way for the cream to rise. As is well known, the cream comes up veiy thick. The cream is very easily ehurned by meiely beating it in a bowl, when it makes a delicately flavored butter, which will not keep for more than a few days. Few persons who write upon dairy matters seem to have a right idea ol the cause of this thickening of the cream, and the pecu liar quality and character of the butter made from it. These depend wholly upon the lact that the albumen in the milk is coagulated by the heat and rises to the top with the cream, and so adds to its bulk us well as to its solidity. This albumen gives the peculiar tiavor to the butier as will as prevents it from keeping. Many gentlemen who have of late years introduced fine blooded cattle on their country Uomes to take the place of native cows that have been discarded often wonder at the increased yield of the new coiners, and express surprise that dairymen are so slow at adopting the new wonders. The fact of it often is that the old discarded scrubs would have done quite as well as the new pets, had they received the same care ami generous treatment that is now being lavished upon these favorites of the master. Dairymen make it a point to feed their cows up to all they are worth even if they are natives, so that in their hands there would not.be near so mark ed an improvement in the change to blooded co ws. In visiting smalt dairies where hand churns are used, it is a common sight to see the churn turned bottom side up on a table in tbe buh. This is done to “air” it, but in fact it is put in just tbe position that will not air it, as the mouth is closed by iis contact with the table on which it rests. Bet it right side side up, and be sure not to let tbe son dry it enough to make it leak. Keeping the churn sweet inside is one of the hardest things to accomplish in the dairy, and if you will take a good snifl at your own you will probably find that heretofore yon have not sufficiently appreciated the exre necessary to accom plish this end. It is a very bad practice to osrry borne whey from the factory in the milk cans, and it is sui prising that the factorymen permit it to be done. Tbe sour whey contains not only the germs of acidity, but the peculiar ferment of the rennet, and unless cleansed with the greatest care will retain some of these impurities to contaminate the milk. A barrel could be earned with out much trouble for this purjiose, and the milk cans preserved for their only proper aud legitimate use. Very email things in dairies may do great misohief. A Burr Cure. — Weeds may lie de stroyed for years by copious watering with a solution of lime and sulphur in boiling hot water. This, if effectual, will be highly important to such as have garden grave 1 walks, pavements, etc., through which grass and weeds grow up. Thr growing animal intended for beef requires a little exeacise daily, to promote muscle and strength of consti tution; when ripe, only so much as to be able to wa'k to the market. DOMESTIC. To Roast a Fillet or Collar op Sturgeon.—Take a piece of fresh stur geon, gut it, take out the bones, and cut the fleshy part in lengths about seven or eight inches; then provide some shrimps, chopped very small, with oysters, some crumbs of bread, and snob seasoning of spites as yon like, with a little lemon peel, grated; when this Is done butter one side of your fish and strew some of yonr mix ture upon it; then begin to roll it up as close as possible, aud when the first piece is rolled np, then roll upon that another, prepared us before, and bind it round with a narrow fillet, leaving as innch of the first apparent as may be, but you must remark tnat the roll shonld not be above four inches and a half thick, or else one part would be done enough before tbe inside was hardly warmed Therefore we have sometimes parboiled the inside roll be fore we begin to roll it; when it is at tbe fire baste it well with butter and dredge it with sifted raspings of bread. Serye it with sauce. What to Drink,—In the World of Science a physician advises people not to take coffee or tea after dinner or at breakfast. Cocoa is recommended for those who can digest it, but hot water is better. Those who dine late, and need a diluent drink an hour or two afterward, but cannot drink tea on ao- connt of being kept awake by it, are also counselled to use hot water. “I find,” he says, “that dining solidly at 7.39, and often needing to work from 9 to 11, a tumbler of hot water brought into my laboratory is the best drink, and, alter a few evenings, will be as much relished as tea. The hot water assists to complete the digestion of res idual food, acts upon the kidneys, and will ho found to wake one up without injuring the stomach or keeping tho brain awake alter bedtime. In cold weather warm water is the best to drink at dinner time, and in hot weather is wholesome!' and more cooling than iced water.” For a Sick Ekadache.—Don’t take a enp of strong tea, a dose c* * “blue mass,” or anti-bilious pills; but if yon have an attack of genuine sick headache, the whole head aching as though it would spin, the temples throbbing, the tongue coated, and mouth tasting bad, no ap petite, more or less nausea, and consti pated bowels, drink a pint of warm (not hot) water. Keep drinking until free vomiting is produced, thus washing out the stomach and relieving it of its load of decomposing, undigested food. Next take a hot enema, apply hot fermenta tion to the bowels and drink freely of very hot water. A fomentation about the head or between the shoulders will usually relieve the headache very much. Eat nothing for twenty- four hours, ami afterwards live upon fruits and grains, avoiding meat, butter, pastry, sugar, sauces and all indigesti ble foods. Remedy for Lockjaw,—If any per son is threatened or taken witli lockjaw from injuries of the arms, legs or feet, do not wait for a doctor, but put the part injured in the following prepara tion; Put hot wood ashes into water as warm as can lie borne. It the injured part can not be put into water, then wet thick folded cloths in the water and apply to the part as soon as possible, and at the same time bathe the back bone trom tbe neck down with some laxative stimulant—say cayenne pepper and water (good vinegar is better than water,) it stiould be us hot as the pa tient can bear it, and don't stop until the jaws will come open. No person need die of lockjaw if these directions are followed. Antique Cream.—Dissolve an ounce of gelatine in a pint of rich new milk; strain it in a clean saucepan and stir in gradually three ounces of sugar and half a pint of sweet cream; to this add, a little at a time, seven ounces of jam or preserved fruit, or you may use fresh frnit, but must in this case sweeten to your taste. If stirred constantly while cooking, the fruit will not sink to the bottom of the dish. When the fruit is soft, remove from the fire, put in an earthen dish, aud beat with a fork until the mix*me is light. If the fruit is uot tart and of sufficiently distinct flavor, add the juice of one lemon. This is nice for dessert, with cake, as well as for tea. Cough Syrup.—Four teaspooufuls of castor oil, lour (easpoonluls of molas ses, one teaspooufui of camphor end one teaspoonful of paragorio. Mix to gether aud take a teaspooufui at a dose four or five times a day. Mothers,try this; a mouth old baby can take a few drops, six months’ a half a teaspoonful aud a year old a spoonful. When a child has a cold and is threatened with croup begin giving the syrup during the day aud ou going to bed. If it coughs during the night give more. It will not fail to prevent croup aud cure a cough, A grown person can take a much larger dose. Knitted Tidy.--One of the simplest tidies, and a veiy pretty one, is made of little inch and a half squares knitted plainly (garter stitch) in scarlet yarn and while cotton. They are sewed to gether, on the wrong side, beginning with one red square then two red, with a white oue in the centre, then five alter nating iu color then seven, then nine, alter which decrease until you come to one again. Joiu these strips m a dia mond shape. Every point is finished with a curu and tassel, or a ball ou a little eord. Cure for Hydr phobia.—Take the root ol common upland ash, generally called the hlach ash, peel off the bark, and boii it to a strong deeootion, take oue gill three times a day for eight or ten days. If bitten by a mad dog, the wound should be out out as soou as pos sible, thoroughly washed with aqua- ammonia, or tor want of that, iu a solution of potash or common salt. The bite of the rattlesnake aud most com mon bites and stings may be cured iu this way; A Daisy Tidy.—Cut circles of white muslin the size of a teacup, whip tbe raw edge over so as to gather it up close, then press dowu iu to make a rosette. Make balls of yellow zephyr, as described above, aud fasten oue dowu tightly iu the oeutre of each daisy. To do this trim one side flat and leave the other round. Sew the daisies to gether and tluiih the outer edge with balls also if you choose. Zephyr Balls—Are easiest made on a large hail pm or wire, iu shape of oue. Wrap the worsted iu even layers, tie it tightly to the centre, aud cut where the wires are ou at each side.

Being ou* of the oldeat druggists In this city (although having retired from busi ness), I wish to say a good word about Hunts Remedy, A number of years ago l was troubled with my kidneys. The Idea of a druggist, however, resorting to the use of a “patent medicine” was a little humili ating, but when I came to consider how many people hail been benefltted by the use of Hunt’s Remedy, I unhesitatingly began using it; aud after having fully tested Its virtues I can say, as many of my customers have said to me, “It is the best, medicine for kidm-y aud liver complaint ever com pounded.” I have yet to learn of a single Instance where it Las failed to benefit and give satisfaction, in fact it is the best I ever sold.

Druggists To build a ship so that in case of ac cident to the bow the stern half can be instantaneously separated from it, and can continue the - voyage securely and easily on its own account, is the latest contribution to the list of safeguards against the dangers of the sea. The idea is that of a German inventor, and is set forth with some detail in the Hamburg Courier, which sees no reason why it should not be entirely feasible. It would require many departures from the present mode of bull Hug vessels,as well as from their internal arrangement and equipment ; but the inventor asserts that, as a whole,a vessel so construe et could be fully as seaworthy and swift as any built ou the piesent plan.and woult be twice as secure against disaster.
