FOB THE FARM AND HUME. Choice off • Breed off Gssss. There are only a few breeds of geese fralsed in this country, and in fact only two which are of practical value to th e poultrymen—these are the Toulouse and Bremen or Embden geese. I consider the Toulouse the best of the two, be- Cause they are heavier and produce more eggs when special care and attention are given to their feeding and housing. As to the management of geese some of the following hints Bhould bo observed, if they are being raised for the market. One gander to four or fivo geese is gen erally considered the limit. It is advis able to let a hen set on the eggs and raise the goslings. The feed in general Is about the saiuo as for chicks, except that oatmeal, wheat and vegetables should be fed a little more freely. There ahould be a regular time set for feeding, and be careful not to give them too much; for this is detrimental to the laying on of fat. It is a good plan to have the hen-house darkened for several weeks before killing, and not give them too much exercise.—JV. E. Farmer. ■alt for Stock. t is not only tho savor of the earth, tttys a Baltimore paper, but of the flesh and every known organism. It is a con itant constituent of tho blood, keeping It limpid and healthful, and is more uni versally distributed over the globe and throughout all organized nature than per haps any other compound. It is also one of the most staple compounds. The waters of the deep are charged with it, and traces of it may be found in the very air we breathe. By inference, then, we may conclude that salt is an essential constituent of all things, especially of all things organized. The instincts of all animals concur in this—wild animals going long distances to prove it. In countries where it is not accessible, men are willing to pay almost any price for it. Nor is the relish for it an acquired one, but an instinctive craving to satisfy the demands of tho animal system. Animals deprived of salt are hard to thrive, nor wear as sleek coats as those having a full supply. If placed where they have constant access to it no ani mal will eat too much of it, but if fed irregularly and at long intervals there is great danger of their taking more than enough for the good of the system. Great care should be taken in the man ner of feeding it that an overdose bo not administered. In order to avoid this, the best way is to allow the stock free access to it at all time3, and the best form in which to accomplish the object is in the shape of rock salt, that the animals may lick it at will, not overlook ing tho necessity of placing the same under shelter aqd out of the way of the rain. As stock of all kinds are now upon grass it is the moro necessary that the attention of farmers should be called to the subject, and not by salting irregular ly allow the stock to so gorge themselves frequently to bring on severe cases of purging, and thU3 endanger the health of The Oar* off Form Wo so ns. During every dry season the wood work of most of the wagons shrinks enough to loosen the bolts, which, if not tightened, will permit the frame of the wagon to start in the joints, and thus rapidly wear off the tenons and enlarge the mortices. Should tho wagon hold together until wet weather comes, the open joints thus made will be filled with water and tightened; but water having once got into the interior of the wood, uncovered by paint, it softens it and decay will begin, and when once begun, it will be but a short time before the frame of the Wagon is beyond repair. But if a few moments had been spent in tightening the bolts at the right time, this would have been prevented. The wheels of a Wagon usually receive more attention than the frame, but even these are often neglected, because when affected by dry weather they cannot be repaired by the farmer himself, for when ■ tire is once loosened it required a blacksmith to tighten it. As this is somewhat costly, the farmer often neglects it, hoping each week that the weather will change and the roads be come wet enough to tighten up the wheels, and thus save the expense of resetting the tires. We have often seen men try to economize by wetting their wagon wheels when used, thinking thus to tighten them, and save the expense of resetting the tires. This is all wrong, and far from economy. When a tire gets loose it should be at onoe tightened, even though it should be known that it rain the next day. In fact, a wheel with a loose tire should always be kept from water, for tho joints being opened the water penetrates where it softens the wood, and causes it not only to wear rap'dly, but to decay. To keep water out of Ib9 joints of a wagon, it is important that the wood work should bo kept painted. This as long as the joints are kept tight by the iron-work, will prevent any water from penetrating the wood; but the moment, for any reason, the iron-work fails to keep the joints tight, the paint cracks in the joints, and thus lets tho water in. For this reason it is important to be ever on the watch during dry weather for loose bolls and loose tires on the wagons that are in daily use.—MatsachuteUs Jfarmer. Farm and Garden Notes. Hardly anything is of more importance to the cultivator ol tho soil than the quality of the seed. Make a harness fit properly and a horse can wear it without distre^ provided that it is also kept decently clean and comfortably soft. Large crops of rutabagas are secured by lowing In drills eighteen inches apart and thinning out. Qne pound of seed to ft# Iff* Overladen fruit trees mature their fruit while it is yet small. Pick off one- half before much growth is made, and the remaining half may grow to as many bushels as all would if left. The land that will maintain twenty common bred cows will maintain twenty well-bred ones, and the annual profit from tho latter will bo considerably more than from the former. It is the same with au animal as with a steam boiler—the more complete the combustion of tho food or fuel it gets (ho more satisfactory will be the result, be cause there is less waste. Quince treos should be mulched as a protection against extreme heat and cold, as the roots are small and usually near the surface. The quince bears every year, but requires some care, and may be pruned annually with advantage. Cellars are usually damp because tho walls are cooler than tho air, which causes condensation of moisture. To prevent the condensation of moisture it is recommended that the windows and doors of the cellars bo closed during the day and opened at night. If you havo thin, flat stones at com mand—say as thick as roofing slate, or somewhat thicker—try mulching a few strawberry plants with them. Shingles are good, but inclined to warp, A pat ented clay tile is sold in some places, but stones are cheaper and better. Tho best ground for a peach orchard is a light sandy soil that has been planted for several years with general crops. Do not plant on ground rich enough to pro duce onions, peas, spinach or lettuce, for trees will be liable to make a late au tumnal growth and produce unripe wood that will be winter-killed. Farmers in some sections of Pennsyl vania maintain the fertility of their soils by applying 100 bushels of slaked lime to the acre once iu five years. It is said that fields which have been subjected to this treatmest for tho past 100 years are as productive now as when the experi ment was first tried. This application depends for its value much upon the original charac'er of the soil. Col. F. D. Curtis says very pithily: 1 ‘I had rather choose a hog that I have got to catch to kill it, for my own use, than to eat one of thoso helpless, fat things that could not get out of your way, and if turned on its back would stay there till it died. This is ideal ‘early ma turity’ and it is dyspepsia by the barrel.” The great majority of poor peaches are inferior chiefly because the trees overbear. The peach pit is always a large propor tion of tho fruit, and it is the part most exhaustive to the tree. Nature never ne glects the seed. It is the means of re production, made more important as the vitality of the tree becomes impaired. A peach tree attacked by the borer, or m a dry sterile soil, will always set moro fruit than one well cared for and man ured, but it will be worthless for eating, Household Hint*.

Pott-Express A gentleman who has spent the summer abroad, said to our reporter, that the thing that impressed him most of all was the num ber of hoi days one encounters abroad and the little anxiety tho people display in the conduct of busmens affairs. “Men boast here, he said, “that they work for years with out a day off; iu Europo that would be con sidered a crime.” Mr. H. H. Warner, who was present at the time, said: “This is the first summer in years that I have not spent on the water. Been too busy.” “Then, I suppose you have been advertis ing extensively?” “Not at all." We have always heretofore closed our laboratory daring July, August and September, Dut this summer' we Lave kept it runnim; day and night to supply tho demand, which has been three limes" great r than ever before in our history at this sea son. ’ “How do yon account for this?” “The increase has come from the univer sal recognition or' the. excellence of our preparations. We have been nearly ton years before the public, and the sales are constantly increasing, while our newspaper adver.isiog is constantly diminisning. Why, high scientific and raed cal authori ties now publicly concede that our Warner’s safe cure is the only scientific specific for kidney and liver diseases, and for all the many disea os caused by them.” “Have you evidence of th s?” “Abxfndaucel Unly a few weeks ago Dr. J. L. Stephens, of i ebauon, Ohio, a specialist for the cure of narcotic, etc.,habits, told me that a numi er of eminent scientific medical men had b en e rperimenting for years, test ing and analysing all known remedies for the kidneys and 1 ver; for, as you may be aware, the excessive u e of a 1 narcotics and stimulants destroys tho e organs, and until they can be rest -red to health the habits cannot be broken up I Among the investi gators were such men as J. M. Hall. M. D., I resident of the f- tate Beard of Health of Iowa, and Alexander Neil, M D., Professor of Surgery in the Col ege of Physicians and Burgeons and pi evident of the Academy of Medicine at Columbus, who, after exhaustive inquiry, reported that there was no remedy known to schools or to scientific inquiry equal to Warner’s safe cure!” “Are many persons addicted to the use of deadly drugs:” “There are forty millions of people in the world who use opium alone f an 1 there are many hundreds of thousands in this coumry who are victims of moron ne, opium, quinine and cocaine. They thin!: they have no such habit about them—so ma iy people are un conscious vieti us of those habits. They have pains and symptoms of what they call ma aria and other diseases, when in reality it is the demand in the system for these terrible drugs, a demand that is caused largely by physi ians’pres riptious which contain so many dangerous drugs, and strong spirits, and one that must oe auswered or silenced in the kidneys and liver by what Dr. Stephens says is the only kidney and liver spathic. He also says that moderate opium and other drug eaters, if they sustain the kidney and liver vigor with that great remedy, tan keep up these habits iu modera tion.” “Well does not this discovery give you a new revelation of ihe power of safe cure?’ “No sir;for years l have tried to convince the public that nearly all the diseases o f the hitman system originate in some disorder ot the kidney’s or liver, and hence 1 have logically declared that if our specific were used, over ninety per cent. o. the e ailments would d sappear. The liver aud kidneys seem to absoi b these poisons from the blood and become depraved aud diseased. “When these eminent authorities thus pub licly admit that there is no remedy like- ours to enable the kidneys and liver to throw off the frightful ebots of all deadly drags and excessive use of stimulants it is an admission of its power as great as any one < oaid desire; for if through its influence alone the op.urn, morphiue, quinine, cocaine and liquor habits tan be overcome, what higher testimon.ai of its specific power could b j asked for “You really behove then, 6Ir. Warner, that the ma ority of di-eases come from kid ney and liver complain* s ?” “Idol When you see a person moping and groveling about, half dead and half ali> e, year after year, you may surely put him down as having some kidney and liver trouble.” * The other day I was talking with Dr. Fowler, the eminent oculLt of this citv, who said that half the patients who i ame to him for eye treatment were affected by a l\ au ed kidney disease. No v many people wonder why in middle life their eye sight becomes so roor. A thorough course of treatment with Warner’s sa e cure is what they need more than a pair of eve glasses. The kidney poison in the blood always attacks the weak est part of the body; with some it affects the eyes; with others the hea l; with others the stomach or the lungs, or rheumatic disorder follows and neuralgia tears them to pieces, or they lose the powers of tate, smell, or be come imrotent in other functions of the body. What man would n t give his all to have the vigor of youth at command?” “The intelligent physician knows that there com: mints a; e but s imptams; they ate not the disorder, and they are symptoms nut of disease of the hea ), the eve or st >ma h, or of virility, ne e sarily, blit of tho kidney poison in the bb od and they may prevail and no pain oc< ur in the ki nevs. ” It is^ot strange that theenthusiasm which Mr. Warner displays in his nppre iation of his own remedy, which restored him to health when the doctors said he could not live six months, should become infectious and that the entire world should pay tribute to its power. For, as Mr. Warner says, the sales are constantly increasing, while his newspaper ad\ertising is constantly dimin ishing 'J his speaks volumes in praise of the extraordinary merits o’ his pre’ atations.
