4 \i t r? . ( & | AQBIOTJLTURK. Cahada THisiLts.—TUo thistle is the most uinoji&g weed that intrudes upon the form. Hard to exterminate and te* nadons of life, it propagates wherever a plans of any kind can secure a foothold and once in possession of a held the cost of its eradication is sometimes greater than the value of the field itself. It is a perennial plant, with annual stems, and reproduces itself from seeds and roots, and it is due to its power of rapid remoduction that it is enabled to withstand the farmer’s attacks so sue* of&sfiilly. The thistle is now receiving the at tention of many experienced and prac tical agriculturists, among them Mr. Archibald Stone, oi Binghamton, N. Y., who states that no plant is s<> entirely dependent on sunshine as the Canada thistle. Grow them m mass, or so closely together that they will complete ly shade the ground, and as fast as the leaves get matured salhoiently to begin to restore to the plant the nutriment it has cost the plant to produce them them they will be through in the shade by the constantly increasing mass of leaves on the top; they will die for want of sunshine, the stems become naked and the roots become exhausted while in bloom, and your ground will have to be reseeded before another orep grows. If the thistles are so scattering that they will not shads the ground, corn, oats or clover will have to be sown, in his article to the Husbandman, Mr. Stone states that ripening a crop of seed is exhanstive to any crop, yet to think of getting rid of Canada thistles by mowing after they had ripened a crop of teed and burning it teems to be too slow a process for this age. Other writers have recommended dif ferent methods for exterminating the turtles,and claim that individual efforts alone are useless. As the down is easily carried by the winds to considerable distances the cleanest fields are as lia ble to infliction as ‘the fooiest. No mat ter how careful a farmer may be to keep the pest off, his efforts will be thrown away if his adjoining neighbors do rot exercise the same care as himself. The work of destruction can be done at the most suitable periods by co-operative action, and each individual wtll be as much interested in the work upon his neighbor’s field as upon his own. The distribution of the seeds must bo pre vented in pn farence to anything else, and much labor may be saved in so do ing by mowing the thistles when young, and before they can have an op portunity to seed. It mnst be done as often as necessity for so doing occurs, and the next business will be to destroy the plants by shading with some other crop, and pulling or digging them out, which is not often necessary, except when fields are entirely overrun. But the continued use of the mower is one of the best remedies to try, although it requires the abandonment of the field for a season. That, however,is the j>en- alty the farmer pays for the intrusion, and is not heavy compared with other tried metnods. It might be claimed without much exaggeration that the growth of a single thistle on a farm is the beginning of decay, and should cause as much alarm as the entrance of an epidemic in a com munity. As sanitary measures are need ed in the case of epidemic, so is co-op erative effort required to prevent the spread of thistles. Cows, which are to give milk through the winter, need to be fed with special care at this time. If possible, the flow of milk must not be permitted to de crease. Mangels and sugar beets are excellent, cut in slices and sprinkled with bran. The rule, that good feeding brings good manure, should be kept in mind in a judicious care of farm ani mals during winter. Good feed in abundance is not enough; it should be given with regularity. The habits of different animals have to be studied,and treated accordingly. Scarcely any two oows or horses have the same appetites. It is important to so mix and change the feed,that sameness may be avoided. A variety of iood encourages healthful digestion and upon this the profits of the owner largely depend. How ToSun-soiXi.—Sub-soiling always pays if properly done. It is advisable, however, if you have to bring the sub soil to the surface, not to go more than a couple ht inches deeper than the pre vious plowing, unless you can afford to manure the land and let it lie idle for a year. If you use the common fallow plow and run down a foot deep, and then soon afterward cross-plow so as to bring up again the soil that belongs on the top, and harrow deep and thoroughly, you will raise the biggest oom you ever had. But remember that if there is much sub-soil cn top your first crop mav not please yon. Important, If True.-An Eastern famer says that two pigs, furnished with muck, sand, weeds and sod, will manufacture them into the best manure that can be found, and will be worth, when alx months old, as much as a ton of the best superphosphate that selis for $50 a ton. If the suggestion is suc cessfully adopted the manufacturors of atiperphosphate will soon have a pretty lively oompetition. Insects.—The following has been found an effectual remedy for all insects both on plants and trees—One pint of •oft soap mixed with half tbe quantity of coal oil, the whole tnen being stirred into six gallons of water. Tbe applica- tkm to be made by a powerful syringe, deluging the tops of tbe trees, and con tinuing the opera tion for 3 or 4 nights in snooession, and afterwards once or twice a week. Soils —Clay soils are generally bet ter for wheat than sandy ones, because they are not snbleot to such sudden ex tremes of temperature and moisture,and are more tenacious in their character. Timber land is better than prairie land, beoanae the decaying roots are pretty sure to effect underdrainage, magnesia and lime and silica are more abundant and nitrogen is less abundant, and such land being more rolling is better drained and dryer. In order to. keep tne striped beetle from vines the experiment was triei of placing corn-cobs dipped in coal-tar near the hills. While the practice did not entirely prevent the ravage i of the beetle, their numbers were largely di minished. In hand-picking pears, the eye will point out, by a yellow tint or color, thoae which are mature enough for house- npenlng, and if tbe stem cracks off when the fruit is partly lifted, they should not be lift any longer on the tree, DOMESTIC. ' >''3 ■ ■ — ^ -W. g* The betcbn to cubtains.—As for the night-caps, they must have been insti tuted in the times when snow used to sift under the eaves upon ileepers in their beds, or when the winds entering by a hundred crevices in walls, win dows and doors, wonid bring all the fresh cold air from out of doors upon the anoonsoions heads. Modern 'im provement” has made sleeping-rooms air-tight, except for a lower window, and haa carried off the bed-curtains, too, which used to keep off draught at night or the blinding daylight in the early morning from the sleeper's eyes. There has been a fashionable return, lately, not to the old fashioned teeter and the fourpobt canopy, that shut in all ft ur corners of the bed, but to a headboard canopy with curtains that merely shade the pillows. This is very pleasant, pretty and comfortable, as it does screen the eyes of sound sleepers from tbe glare of daylight, which is meant by nature to awaken them, but does not always bring anything be yond irritation in their sleep. A mod ified return to bed-cm tains and head- canopies will certainly enable people to have more fresh air and light iu their bed-rooms that some persons allow. The reaction against the old fashion went too for, and the satisiaotory mid dle distance is now allowed. Dampness in housis —Many house- holders are sorely troubled by the growth of fungi in damp rooms, lo which they communicate, in a shoit time, annnpleaiant smell and unwhole some atmosphere. It is not only onr cellars that are apt to be affected by fongoid growth, but tbe walls of tbe adjacent rooms, and many bed rooms on the ground floor are similarly rei.- dered useless after a moist season. Many remedies have been pioposed to destrov this fungoid growth, or to pre vent it oocorrenoe; bat hitherto these remedies have been too expensive or totally inefficacious. Recently an alco holic solution of five grammes of sali cylic acid per litre of water for washing the walls of rcoms has been recom mended. This is exactly one-half per cent, or one part salicylic aoid for 200 parts liquid. No doubt the mold may be destroyed temporarily by this as bj many other solutions, such, for in stance, as corrosive sublimate or car bolic aoid. The true remedy, however, is not this temporary expedient, nor attempting to hide the dampness by enamel paints, etc. ; it is to out off the source of moisture and to put the waterproof materials outside and not inside the walls. Fhied meats.—These are regarded by all authorities on hygiene as injur ious. Burnt grease of any kind is di gested with difficulty and is specially harmful to those suffering from dys pepsia. Moats should be roasted, baked, broiled or boiled, but ueyer fried. Those who have coal stoves can easily broil their steaks; those who have wood stoves can do the same with a little management The tire oan be so used as to furnish coals when they are heeded; brands may be removed from tbe fire-box, and the meat in a wire broih r or toaster be placed over the coals. A pair of bellows is useful in keeping the coals bright and glowing. It pays to take a little trouble to have broiled steak, and if one is dyspeptic he should utterly reject all fried meats. Something new in be^ts.—Beets are familiar enough boiled or slijed, either served hot with butter, pepper and salt, or pickled; but a novelty is a beet pudding, made by mixing a pint of cooked sugar beets, chopped, with four eggs, a quart of milk, a little salt and pepper, a tabiepoonful of batter, and baking them hall and boar ; cold boiled beets sliced and fried with batter are palatable; to cook them so that none of their color shall be lost, caiefully wash them without breaking the skin or catting off the roots or stalks, and boil them until tender, about an hour, in boiling salt water. Grape Leaves for Pickles, — A cor respondent recommends the use ot fresh green grape leaves to place on top of pickles in jars in place of flan nel or cloth usually employed. The leaves will preserve the vinegar sharp and clear, and imparts a nice flavor. The leaves should be rinsed in pure water and left to drain before use and occasionally changed, They exclude the air, and besides imparting a de lightful odor to the pickle, cause less trouble to the housewife. To c 3ok carrots. —First scrape them thoroughly, then wash well in cold water, and if very large, out in halves. Boil in water with a little salt, until soft, which will take an boar or more ; when done, take them up and cat witn a knife as line ns you oan. For six car rots take a piece of batter tbe size of an egg, and ent it np with them. Friendly loaves.—Beat half a dozen mealy potatoes with a quarter pound of grated ham, two eggs, a little butter, and a little cream, taking care not to make it too moist: form it into balls or small loaves, and fry them a nice light brown; they should be fried in but ter. Pile them on a napkin, and serye with a garnish of fried parsley. Farmers’ tea oaks.—To two oops of sour milk allow one large teaspoonfnl of aoda, dissolve this in a little hot water, then stir it In the milk; half a teaspoonful of salt is required and enough buckwheat flour to make a stiff batter. Put this iu a well-buttered tin and bake for half an hour in a hot oven. Oatmeal water,—Brown a snfficieit quantity of of coarse meal, before tbe fire or in the oven, and pour over it boiling water ; cover it close and use it cold. This is considered very useful for stopping sickness. HUMOROUS. Important Proclamation. The Hon. Peter Bowe is Sheriff of the (Jity and County of New York.

He became weak, debilitated, nervous, and despondent. He regarded the future with dread, and said he had worked himself into an untimely grave. _...
