While other pursuits may yield more fruits,
Yet often produce much worse.
Wo envy not the statesman's lot,
Still clamoring for his olasa;

At some redoubted pass.
No risk have we on boisterous sea,
No fears lest tempest whelm

The fruitful field in bounties yields,
A rich reward for toil;
Be ours the trade to ply the spade,

We walk abroad o'er carpet sod,
And flowerets kiss our feet,
Whoso odors rise to scent the skies?

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Seasonable Bints lor the Farm.
Top dressing at this season, with any
thing but the very finest and best ma
nure, except on sod for corn, is a waste
of time and labor. The effect comes
too late to benefit the crop. Some
active commeroial fertilizer should bo
used instead. For grass or wheat one
hundred aud fifty pounds of nitrate of
soda, or the same of guano, per acre,
would be a good dressing. In using
commercial fertilizers, it is well to make
experiments as to quantities and va
rieties for different soils and orops.
For the corn^rop we have found the
sooner the planting is done after the
plowing, and while the soil is moist and
fresh, the better. A top dressing of
coarse manure upon the sod would be
an excellent preparation for this crop. 1
Many Western farmers have made (
flax a profitable crop, the seed being in
demand at the oil mills at good prices.
It is a useful orop to mellow and clean
the soil, and may preoede fall wheat i
with advantage. A bushel and a half 2
of seed per acre may \>e sown this
month upon a corn stabble. 1
Raise the best calves, and thus gradn- !
ally raise the quality of their herds. A '
good calf is -well worth a month's fresh
milk, and if their coming was timed for ;
April, they could have the April milk,
and the dairymen be richer and they 1
the better for it. " '' [
Early lambs should; be pushed for- j
ward for market by giving extra food to ,
the ewes and increasing the flow of
milk. To feed the lambs meal or other ,
food, for which their stomachs are as
yet unprepared, hinders their growth.
You pigs may be pushed as fast as <
possible. When a week old they may 1
be taught, without difficulty, to drink
milk from a shallow pan, and in doing
this the young animals maybe tamed
and rendered perfectly docile. To have
tame and tractable animals about the t
farm will add much to their value, and t
the ease and comfort in tending them, t
Feed the nursing sows well, and keep t
them warm, bs K, v'""':.' 1
The roller should be used with judg- '
ment. It is a valuable implement, but 1
A. SL. Tl * t
sometimes it is usea -injuriously. ?j, is ?
most effective upon dry soils ; -when the
soil is damp clods are easily crashed,
but tlie surface is packed and crusted.
Meadows, on the contrary, should be
rolled while moist and soft, that stones
and rough places may be pressed into
the soD, and the surface leveled for the
mower. Fall grain may be rolled with
advantage the day after it is harrowed,
if rain has not fallen.
In purchasing tools and implements
those that are. lightest, other things be
ing equal, should be chosen. To handle
a heavy tool is a waste of muscle, now
that steel is in universal use for the
best kinds. Even a hoe should be
sharp and bright to be most effective,
fttifl in a mower a dull knife will double
the draft. This is equally true of horse
power machines and of hand tools.?
Agriculturist. ' ' .. a
Somufcinc About Apples.
S. E. Todd said before the American
farmers' club : The standard by which
the qualities of au apple is judged con
sists of the taste and flavor of certain
apples which have been pronotmoed by
consent of pomologists to be the best.
Best represents the acme of excellence
in superior taste and in aromatio flavor.
The antithesis of best is represented by
poor, or very poor; Between these two
standards there are other standards,
such as fair, good, very good, good to
best, and almost best. By oommon
agreement, the Newtown pippin, the
Esopus Spitzenburg, Early Joe, King of
Tompkins County, Wagoner, Peck's
Pleasant, and some other varieties have
been designated as the best, as for taste
and aromatic flavor. If one smells and
tastes a Newtown pippin at a period
when this variety is-ir: its best season,
he will be able to understand what con
stitutes the highest standard or beet,
when judging of the quality of any va
riety of apples.
The Northern Spy is judged to be
very good to best. The Fameuse is al
most best. The lied Winter pippin, v
Red Astraohan, r Ben*, Daviaj Swaar, D
Early Harvest, and some others are ?
ranked as good to very good. The Bald- ^
win, Rhode Island Greening, Yellow
Bell Flower, and Wine Sap, are ranked ?
as very good. The White Astrachan and 8
Red Winter Calville are ranked as poor t
apples. From poor, the gradation de- '
clinestovery poor, woitMess cider ap- I
pies, which neither man nor beast will a
eat unless half famished. Now, if one a
desires to determine whether an apple is d
one of the best varieties or not, let him ^
procure a' few Newtown pippins, or 0
Esopus Spitzenburgs, when these va- v
rieties are at their best season, and *
then compare the taate and flavor of the v
varieties named. A competent judge of i
the quality of an apple must be possess- a
ed of an educated taste and olfactories. ?
Pomologists rely quite as much on the i'
sense of smell as taste when testing &
fruit. If a score or move known varie- i
ties of good and best apples were min- ^
gled with inferior varieties, and all were 13
plaoed in a dark room, it would not be *
difficult to select everv one of the irood r
varieties, and identify them all correctly,
simply by the taste and smeiL With
only my limited experience with apples,
I feel confident that I could do this
without making one mistake.
The Housekeeper.
To Diuve Away Ants.?Put red pep
per in the .places the ants frequent the
most, and scrub the shelves or drawers
with strong carbolic soap.
Cookies.?Two-thirds cupful of but
ter, half a cupful of milk, one egg, one
teaspoonful of soda dissolved in the
milk, four cupfuls of flour, nutmeg to

Welsh Rarebit.?Out a piece of
bread about six by three inches ; take
off the crust, toast it and butter it on one
side ; cut a slice of rich cheese of the
thickness of the bread and sufficient to
cover the bread; place it before a dtar
fire at an angle of forty-five degrees,
where it will toast briskly.
Stewed Beep.?Take two poonds of
raw beef, out it in inoh-square pieoes.
put in a saucepan, and cover with cola

nice without.
Mprlns Plowing.
We always advise plowing the lar
once, at least, and in some cases twio
in the spring before planting. Th
work should not bo done until tl
ground has become rather dry, so th
as the earth is turned over, it may 1
well pulverized, and made fine for tl
plants that are to be grown. We hai
seen ground plowed early before
would readily fall apart, and the:
would be lumps left that would rema:

have observed that on such land tl
crops do not thrive aa on similar lai
treated in the right way. We pref
rather deep plowing where the land
good. We would not turn up sai
or poor subsoil, and bury the go<
soil out of sight. Thin land should I
plowed each year when a good deal i
manure is applied. Plowing should ?
ways be well done. There is a gre
difference in this respect. Grass lan<
may be plowed as soon as dry enougi
and so on as long as it will do to plan
We prefer to have the furrow turm
nearly flat, though we are aware th
there are those who say never turn fla
In some cases we should" advise twi<
plowing, if old land, and especial
when onions and other roots are to 1
raised. The soil cannot be made t<
fine. The finer the better.
Bow to Cook Rice.
The best way to cook rice, or, indeei
auy other farinaceous food, is to boil
in a double kettle or in a pail set withi
a kettle. A large quantity can be boile
or steamed in this wa^ without difficult;
There are in the market several doubJ
boilers used for this purpose, but tl
almost universal fault with them is tin
the receptacle for water is too small an
needs replenishing too often. Ask fc
planished milk or rice boilers, with ii
side pot made of one piece of iron an
perfectly seamless. There are seven
sizes?one, one and a half, two and thre
quarts, either planished both inside c
out, or having a planished outside vess<
and white enamel inside pot. Tb
former cost from $1.50 to $2.00, and tb
latter 81.80 to $2.40. We have use
Dne of these boilers for some time, an
think it will be found of great service i
every family.
A Cure tor Scab in Sheep.
A farmer discovered a year ago thf
a lot of his sheep had this disease. Tb
first thing he Knew, they lost the:
wool, so that by shearing time they wei
almost bare. Having heard of tobacc
as a cure, and failing with other rem<
dies, he procured Bome thirty or fort
pounds of the leaves, and boiled it u
in a great kettle. When cold, he poure
the liquor into a large tub, and, afto
shearing, plunged each sheep that we
affected by the scab into it up to tb
neck, and then turned them out to pai
fcure. The liquor must be strong enoug
to change the color of the wool to
light red, and, according to^this man
arperience, they will be cured, not onl
of the scab, but if the lambs are dippe
kx>, of all the tioks. Stalks of tobacc*
jut up and boiled the same as the leavei
cvill do equally well.
Among the Sharks.
A large lifeboat, crossing the bar c
ihe San Jnan river, upset, prccipitatin
;he crew, consisting of two officers an
?n men, into the water, the boat bein
:urned upside down. " I felt," says th
larrator, "that my life was not wort
lalf an hour's purchase. The coxwai
jO the boat, a weakly, man, rose alon^
ride of me after the plunge. He was 1
jreat terror, and I felt that if the shark
iid not harm him he could scarcely reac
ihe shore without help; so I encourage
him by telling him I would swim b
liim, and give him a hand if he fe
fcired. We were literally in the oenter c
i shoal of sharks, whose black trianguh
ins we could see on all sides sailin
round us. As the beaoh was quite cloa
we first endeavored to make that, bt
soon discovered that the current was s
strong that we made no headway and w
were forced to turn toward the boa!
which was 150 yards away, drifting on
jo sea, with the rest of the ' crew astrid
>n her keel. There was nothing, hov
aver, for it but to swim to her, and, aic
3d by the strong current, we soon shon
jned the distance. All this time th
sharks were around us, making, 1 fancied
smaller circles, and once or twice
ihought I felt something touch my fe
ffith a rush, as these horrid brutes d
before they bite. If it was my imagine
ion it was not a great stretch, howevei
or we had not got twenty yards ahead o
-he spot when my companion shrieked

What a Sneeze Did.
A sueeze delivered by a draper's assist
int led to an action which was trie*
>efore the Lambeth county court h
England. The plaintiff was in the sei
dee of the army and navy co-operativ
tores, Westminister, in the drapery de
>artment, of which defendant was mana
;er. About ten o'clock at night, whei
.ssisfcing to take stock, having a cold is
ds head, he was compelled to sneeze
le sneezed rather loudly, for defendan
ame up to where the plaintiff andotheri
rere at work and demanded to kno\
?ho sneezed. The plaintiff at onc<
aagnanimously admitted that he wai
he sneezer, upon which the defendan
old him that the next time he wantec
o sneeze he must go outside ana do it
Ihortly afterward the plaintiff felt him
elf impelled to sneeze again, and, put
ing on his overcoat, said to defendant
Please, sir, I am going out to sneeze.'
le -was thereupon told by the defend
nt that if he -went outside he must gc
Itogether, and, upon his proceeding tc
io so, the defendant insisted on his re
urning the week's wages he had re
eived a few hours previously, the week'f
rork not expiring until the afternoon o:
he next day. As he declined to comply
rith the demand, the defendant tool
lim by the collar and pushed him dowi
. spiral staircase a flight at a time. H(
pas subsequently marched off the prem
ses between a policeman and the door
:eeper. He claimed damages for th<
qjuries he had received by hia rapic
leseent down stairs. A fh?r ootta-toI trn'f.
leases had been examined, and the de
endant had given evidence, the jurj
endered a verdict in favor of the sneezer,
or twenty pounds damages.

assengers at eighteen cents each,
'rom that day to this, through a period
f sixty-six years, Vanderbilt has been
teadily engaged in carrying freight and
assengers by land and sea, by steam
oat and railroad. His first vessel was
le Charlotte, launched in 1815, by him
alf and brother-in-law. With the
lharlotte he coasted to South Carolina,
n 1817 he was engaged as captain of a
beamer plying between New York and
few Brunswick, New Jersey, at which
itter place Mrs. Vanderbilt managed a
otel. In 1829, at the age of thirty-five,
:e was worth $30,000, and determined
o start for himself. The first steam
>oat he ever built was the Caroline,
. hich finally went over the Niagara
''alls. To-day those who are most fa
liliar with his affairs rate him at from
70,000,000 to $80,000,000. It is under

you might have some of that kind."
"No, I don't keep that kind. W1
don't you use printer's ink ?"
" Printer's ink I" exclaimed Jake, '
should like to know what that has got
do with it. I've heerd of printer's u
for canker worms, but I never heerd
it for rasters?how d'ye apply it ?"
"Jnstput it in the Hookertown 6

this: " Wanted to buy a yearling coc

"Just try it," said I, "and if y<
don't hear of roosters in less than

I didn't much think Jake would a
vertise, but the notion seemed to wor
especially my paying the bill, and
guess the thought of getting that on
me had more to do with it than his fail
in printer's ink. He made a straig
wake for the Gazette office, and told tl
printer to advertise for a game roost
as above, and send the bill to me. T1
Hookertown Gazette is printed c
Thursday, and distributed to town su
scribers by carrier, and the rest sent c
by mail. Jake got his paper the san
evening, and for the first time begun 1
look at the advertisements. It was qui
a while before he could find his rooste
and when he did it only occupied tl
space of two lines, and seemed so ridie
lously small that nobody could noti<

if he had not known it was there ar
been looking for it. He thought he ht
struck Timothy Bunker this time, ar
would get square on the horse pond li
trade. Next morning Jake was wake
just after daybreak by a loud knock (
his door. Jake poked his head out <
the chamber window, and shout*
"who's there?"
Billy Peckham's voice answered fro:

"Couldn't think of giving that,
Jake answered, and shut the window i
disgust. He put on his clothes, ar
while he was kindling his fire in tl
stove, another rap at the door. B(
Porter had brought up his rooster in
covered basket, Baid he saw the notii
in the paper, and thought he wou
bring up his black-breasted red gam
that he would warrant to stand stee
and lick all the roosters in town. Tl
bird cost him fifteen dollars, and he hi
made a hundred oh him, knowing ju
how to bet. He could have him f<

the cock was small, but be was true i

lived with her aged parents. Slio 1
there fallen in love with a young mar

ship, made proposal of marriage, f
they were betrothed. But her fat!
opposed the matoh, and prohibited tl
marriage, on the ground that ]
affianced lover was addicted to liqn
Her grief and despair were so viol
that ner mind became affected, and
once gay daughter of the househ
turned melancholy, took on strai
ways, talked and laughed whimsically,'
into fits of abstraction, and was no m
herself. For the sate of Her mind, i
in hope that a change of scene and i
cnmstances would bring her out of !
condition, her father sent her to E
York city to take up her stay with so
relatives. Anxious to earn her own li
lihood, she- quickly found a place
servant for a wealthy family. She 1
been there but a few days when she 1
accused of stealing a gold watch, arr<
ed, taken to oourt, and sent to the p<
tentiary. She was taken ill after rea
ing BlackwelTs island, had to be sen!
the hospital, and was there seized v
the smallpox. She had recovered,
tnrned to her quarters in the penit
tiary, and was employed in the womc
workroom, where she happened to cc
under the eye of Mrs. Bigelow, wife
Hon. John Bigelow, secretary of St

her screams and observing now she c

garb she passed through the women
work in company with the matron to

appeared with a gay little hat on 1
head and a cloak of blue woolen st

as she stepped up to the desk to ?

A MANUFACTURING NATION.
The Centennial Exposition aa an Element
In Ike Development of oar DIunfaeUN
Ins Interests.
There can be no reasonable donfyt
that the United States is abont to as
sume a new and important position as a
manufacturing nation. But a few short
years ago, we were known as an agricul
tural country, haying vast mineral re
?jj -?
HuurotJB xywg luit) ouu uu|uuuuu?tic.
Our imports of the vaiious metals and
of manufactured goods were something
enormous; we have just emerged from
a war unsurpassed in its, expenditure of
hnman life, money, and national sub
stance, a war in whioh the whole losses
of both sides fell upon one nation and
people; and yet sinoe tbe close of that
conflict, we have made our debut as a
manufacturing people and maintained a
rate of progress hitherto unparalleled in
the history of nations. To this faot
more than to any other will the Centen
nial exposition point. Of the sixty
acres of ground covered by the exhibi
tion buildings, only about twelve acres
are devoted to agricultural and horticul
tural pursuits, while there are fourteen
acres devoted to the products of ma
chinery alone. Time will probaby
show that the markets of the world will
be opened to American manufacturers,
and the Centennial exposition will do
much to bring the demand for our
mineral and manufactured products in
direct contact with the supply. The
more we examine into this view of our
irabject, the more impressive it be
comes.
During the last decade, the prices of
our raw material and labor have ruled
exceedingly high; and yet we have
driven foreign steel from our markets.
Oar imports of cotton and of nearly all
other manufactured goods are largely
etad continuously on the decrease. At
the present time, our cost of production
is diminishing by cheapness of labor.
We are steadily grasping the edge tool
trade. Our cast iron is forcing, its way
as the best yet produced, and the inven
tive power and intelligence of bur me
chanics are universally recognized. We
are about to repeat the experience of the
older nations. During an era . of hisfh
prices, we developed oar mineral re
sources and learned to manufaoturo high
fijasa goods, and to spin and weave-our
own products; but the comparatively
high price of our labor and other wrmilar
causes excluded us from entering the
competitive markets of the world. > For
tunately for us, there has set in, with
every prospect of a continuance, an era
of diminution of the values of both ma
loW rrViinVi will AnnViln Tin fcn
UOXUU UUU 1MMVA) KM* WAM.fv.w
tender our goods in markets other than
oar own; and more fortunately still, the
Centennial exposition steps in and brings
the purchaser to inspcct our goods.
This is the first instance, in the history
of the six great international exhibitions
of the last twenty-five years, in which
the question of the comparative cost of
productions has been largely considered
or mooted in an international sense.
Never before have the representatives of
national industries debated the questions
of comparative cost of production, of
affixing to exhibited artioles their prices,
of the propriety of competing unless
suoh prices were affixed, and of the ques
tionable policy of putting on exhibition
products of manufacture, lest the nation
mainly interested in such should gather
information and ideas rendering them
still more formidable as competitors in
* i_ **rri . 11..
the world's markets, jinese are me
facts which evidence the existence of a
feeling that the Centennial will become
the means throngh whieli au ?v channels
of trade are to be opened up, and long
established markets are to be closed;
and throngh which, while new custom
ers are to be lound, old ones are to be
certainly lost.
Among the branches of American trade
to be the most largely benefited, we may
doubtless mention the iron, steel, ma
ohine, edge tool, saw, agricultural im
plement, wood-working machinery, gen
eral and special tool, timber, and cotton
manufacturing industries. Nor will
the intelligent foreign visitor fail to psr
ceive that our remarkable progress in
manufactures is largely due to the co m
parative liberality of our patent la^ira,
and the encouragement given to inven
tors throngh the progressive character
of our people. That the number of
visitors to the exhibition will be larjje,
the traveling propensities of Ameriams
are probably a sufficient guarantee; tliat
the attendance of the business communi
ty will be proportiorately larger than at
any previous international exhibition,
there is every reason to presume, .for
the reason that composition is here un
usually close. Every tradesman con
siders it his duty to be " posted " as to
V>;?s nnmnoHJnii'o nrmrla nrirl fftP.ilitlPH to
carry on his business ; the " drummer,"
as our genus of the commercial traveler
is facetiously termed, is a profuse
American institution ; while an Ameri
can housewife scarcely makes a purchase
without having priced the desired article
at two or more stores. t
We are convinced that the honors in
the shape of awards will be eagerlv
sought, and that their possession will
largely influence many branches of
trade; while the benefits to be bestowed
upon us by this peaceful industrial
monument are at present almost incal
culable.?Scientific American.
The Yalue of Our Crops for 1874.
The total value of all agricultural pro
ducts in the United States for the year
1874 was $2,447,638,659c The products
derived, directly and indirectly, from
the grass crop, are estimated at $1,292,
000,000, itemized as follows: Hay, 27,
000,000 tons, at 820 per ton, $500,000,
000; live stock, $1,525,000,000; animals
slaughtered for food, $309,000,000; but
ter, $514,000,000; milk, $25,000,000;
wool, $25,000,000; cheese, $5,000,000.
The estimated total derived from grass
is probably too large, for the reason that
the hay crop, the value of which isgiven
as one of the items, must have been
used to some extent in swelling the
other values. bcul it is aouDuess saio
to say, allowing more than half the value
of the hay to go to this account, that in
round numbers the value of the produc
tions depending upon the grass yield of
1874 was $1,000,000,000.
Wearing a Dead Man's Shoes.
If there is any one thing particularly
vulgar, it is the practice of poor people
openly calculating upon the money they
are to receive on the death of some rich
relative. A severe rebuke was adminis
tered by the will of A. T. Stewart to the
" cousins-in-law-by-marriage," who have
been "swelling," like an expanded
frog, for years past, over the "million"
they were to get whenever be should
die. And now he outs them off with a
pittance, or with nothing.
We should think any sensitive man
would feel himself strongly tempted to
disappoint those who, as he is well
aware, have been long?not to say eager
ly?waiting for his decease in the ex
pectation of clutching a part of his
property.?New York Sun.
