FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Green manuring:. A correspondent of the New York Tribune says: When green crops are grown for "the purpose of fertilizing the soil, as a rule they should be plowed under when in their most luxuriant and perfect growth. It is then that their decomposition has the most beneficial eil'ect f U a nAi 1 nti/1 f Imci in Ar* a I rw *-v n f upvu trills OUH, 4.1UVA llilo Jo KJ U ^ villi V object in vie a- in growing such crops. A crop of cow pons, for instance, or one of clover or buckwheat, turned under when in full blossom and containing the largest quantity of sap, quickly decomposes and contributes to the soil not only a large muss of matter which has a mechanical effect upon it, but also a cer tain amount of nitrogen and other useful msinurial matter which is contained in the herbage; in addition, there is a chemical action upon the soil by the acids produced which dissolve a portion i it UI LiiU ILUUUitU LUiiltUJ. 11 lilC LIUJi is permitted to fall down and remain upon the surface. only one of these elfects is produced, namely, the mere addition of the matter to the soil, and some of this may be lost by evaporation and otherwise. Selection of Sec it Corn. Professor G. E. Morrow, of the Illinois university, says: "The early fall is the bc-t time in which to select. Jt is wise to experiment with new varieties and crossings. Do not, however, abandon old varieties that have been satisfactory in any locality. Selection in the field is most likely to securc good ears, because th< n one can notice the ctftoactei- and development of stalks. Undcs'r.ibic ?|uul tics for a northern region aro, extremes in height or thickness of stalk, a tendency to carry the cars very high up, cobs of great thickness at buti and tip, shallow kernels and failure to Mill out' well at ihe ends of the ears. The dent varieties possess stalk, leaf and root enough to produce more than one ear of corn. Persistent selection of seed with reference to the production of two c;us, would make a decided gain. There cau be no objection to picking seed-corn some weeks before it would do to put into the cri!>. Both kernels and cobs should become thoroughly dry before there is severe freezing. The old plan of hanging up the ears by the husks, in a warm, dry room, will give good results.''?Itural A'cio YorLxr. Are Apples Injurious to Colts. When fed in limited quantities apples are beneficial to colts and older horses. sweet apples are much relished by them, and have a fattening tendency. Sour apples are said lo be an excellent remedy for worms, aud have a beneficial eilect in cases of distemper. During the epizootic which prevailed so extensively in the fall of 1872, upon a farm where a number of horses aud colts were kept every animal but two w'ere attacked, and those thit were exempt ran at will in an old orchard adjoining their pasture, eating all the apples they desired. Whether the apples produced a condition of the system which enabled them to withstand the effects of the distemper, or otherwise, is not known, but it is a fact that while all the other horses oa the farm and in the neighborhood suffered, these * two were exempt;- Four quarts a day to yearlings, and so up to a peck fur grown norses, can do led to advantage, and will probably pay better than hauling to. the mill and selling for five to eight cents per bushel. It is safer ro put them in a cleai^ wide box and chop them with a squjire-b laded barn shovel before feeding, as this prevents danger from choking.? Cultivator. Destroy Offensive Oilors. There is no means more certain to bring disease upon members of a family than allowing infectious matter to remaiu upon the premises. The offensive odors that arise from damp places, decaying vegetables in the cellars, uncleaned sinks, and privies, are almost certain to engender some malignant disease xipon those who by gross neglect fail to disinfect in proper time the atmosphere around them. Copperas, called sulphate of iron, dissolved in water, one-fourth of a pound to a gallon, and poured into a sink drain as often as needed will keep it sweet. A little chloride of lime, say half a pound to the gallon of water, will have equally as good an cfTect. and either of these costs but a few cents. To purify cistern water take a pound or two?according to the amount of water?of caustic soda or a similar quant tity of concentrated Ive, and put into the cistern; this will disinfect stagnant, odorous waters, and the cost is nothing compared with the benefit derived. It is said that two grains of alum to a pint of water that is not lit to drink render it perfectly clear and pure, and the taste of alum will not be perceived. A little pulverized .alum thrown into a pail of water allowed to stand for fifteen or twenty minutes will precipitate all the impurities and leave it perfectly clcav. A larger quantity put into a well of impure water will very much improve it. r. A damp cellar may be rectified by bjm iit&.i111 ?jj cuj?jn-rus, ciuonae 01 nine, or even common white lime over the floor. The most effective of anything that we ever used to disinfect decaying vegetable matter of any description is chloride of lime. One pound may be dissolved in two gallons of water where it is desirable to use it in a liquid form. Another excellent absorbent of noxious smells is plaster of Paris, one part to three of pulverized charcoal. The reason that there are so many unwholesome kitchens cannot be attributed to the lack of means to purify them, but to the slothfulness of those who have become accustomed to hrnnthincr fmil nil I yet they complain wonderfully when called upon to pay nature's penalty for i disobeying nature's laws. A few pennies expended now for purifiers may * save heavy doctor bills, and will cer tainly pay .in comfort when surrounded by a healthy atmosphere.? Tribune and Farmer. Rai^iugr Calves, More calves are injured every year by long fasting and over feeding than in any other way. When calvcs run with their dams they take their food often, and. of course, little at a time, but in our artificial treatment we reverse Nature's methods. If calves are allowed to suck, the injury from long fasting will be less marked, for the milk is taken at the right temperature, and in its natural state. But when wc milk the cow, and then keep her milk twelve or more hours for the cream to rise before feeding the calf, we are departing still further from Nature's methods. Since by artificial methods of feeding, and by breeding for jthat purpose, we have greatly increased the proportion of cream or fat in the milk of some of our breeds of cows, it has been found that calves will often do Jatiite as well, and in some cases better, fed upon milk poorer ia fat than the whole milk from their dams. It is claimed by many breeders of Jersey and Guernsey cattle, that partially skimmed milk from cows of these breeds is better for calves than the whole milk, and we have little doubt that their claim is well founded.. Jso better calves were ever raised than have been raised upon skimmed milk, when all the details were properly looked after by a careful feeder of good judgment. The "bad luck" in raising calvcs by hand comes from too long intervals between the feedings ton hmvv fpedino-. and especially - o* x from giving milk at too low a temperature. Let a calf become very hungry from long fasting, then be given an overfeed of cold mik, and one may warrant the calf to be sick within a very short time. An over loaded stomach refuses to act. sometimes even when the food is of the proper kind, but is sure to suffer when the food is so cold as to'chill the animal. When a calf shivers after drinking it is safe to predict trouble.. Milk snould be nearly at the same temperature when fed from the pail that it would be if taken in the natural way direct from the cow, and the colder the weather the more important does this matter of temperature become. The milk should not (inly be light when taken from the lire, but should be ri^ht when it reaches the stable. Blood heat, ninety eight degrees, is the right temperature, and for young " 'l'"" ?>1 -nothnr it ahnnlrl nnf" fill I | more than a degree or two below. Milk I is best heated in a tin pnil set in a vessel ! of hot water, stirring the milk occasionally to keep it from sticking to the sides of the tin in case the water is very liot. ?New England Farmer.

Matches should always be kept in a ; stone or earthen jar, or in tin. j Soaking calico just previous to the ! first washing in a strong solution of 1 ether salt or alum, is excellent to pre; serve the color. Many good laundresses advise soap: in<j linen into warm water the night previous to washing, as facilitat'ng the I operation, and less friction being required. Save tea leaves from the table, and ! steep them for half an hour. Strain, and use the water to wash all varnished paint.

The simultaneous occurrence of earth; quakes and hurricanes in Spain and its neighborhood has led Mr. K. A. Proctor . to make some interesting calculations. ' A change ot half an inch in the barometer over an area of 10U.009 square miles ? about equal to that of the British Isles with the contained spas, would mean a variation of snmn 49 (IftO mil j lion tons in the weight of the air resti ing on that surface; one foot of extra tide extending outward ten miles would give an extra weight of 720 million tons 011 a const 100 miles long. Greater va! nations of barometric pressure occur, | over much larger areas; and tides sometimes reach several feet beyond their ; usual limits on much greater lengths of i coast. ''I take it, then," Mr. Proctor i concludcs, <4that we may fairly consider that the external action exerted ou the j earth's crust-, as the tidal wave sweeps ! upon a shore line, as winds heap up the J seas there, and as atmospheric pressure | increases and diminishcs^-especially dur ingthe progress of some great storms ? j must play a most important part in proJ ducing subterranean disturbances. At i every moment of time millions of tons of matter in the form of water and air j are being flung hither and thither over ; the surfacc of the earth. Can we won; der if, apart from interior causes of : disturbances, the crust shows signs of ! occasional fluctuation?" 1 jDcimuuii urass. The Nashville American':! agricultural editor, speaking of Bermuda grass, says: "It is easily restrained and will not ! cross over rail or a pole laid on the I ground. This is a decided merit, showing that though it lias vigorous life it is | easily confined within limits." The Tribune's agricultural editor has seen this pest crawl over the ground pole of a worm fence six inches in diameter and taking root on the other side, so lash it to the earth from end to end that four men could not tear it loose.?KnoxviU.e {Term.) Tribune. FACTS FOR ME CURIOUS. According to the Medical World, every farmer wears out, on an average, two wives and a haif in h;s lifetime. The Parliament oak was an ancient and famous tree in what was once Sherwood forest. It derived its name from the tradition of a parliament having been held there by Edward I. On the mornincr after the celebration of tlie marriage, it was formerly customary for friends to serenade a newlymarried couple, or to greet them with a morning song to bid them good-morrow. Submarine telegraph cablcs depreci| ate very rapidly, which necessitates the setting asiae every year of what the Anglo-American company calls a renewal fund. This fund now amounts to 630. A Gaelic verse says: "Thrice man's age, age of deer; thrice deer's age, age of eagle; thrice eagle's age, the age of oak tree." If we take man's age even at the promised three score and ten, we find the eagle's age to be no less than 315?rather a respectable age ? and I probably giving rise to the idea expressed in the Book of Psalms that the e;igle renewed its age. The terra "handkerchief" is not found earlier than the fifteenth century, when in the wardrobe accounts of Edward Iv". i of England ''V dozen hand convcrchieffs'1 are named as having been made by one Alice Shapster, to whom a pay ment had been made. A handkerch.ef was formerly the square of fine linen employed by women for covering the he:?d. Few people are able to calculate the distance at which objects may be seen at sea; but it is not a difficult matter when their respective elevations and the elevation of the eye of the observer are known. For instance, an object five feet high may be s-en two and a half ' miles (geographical); fifty feet high, eight miles; 100 feet high, 11? miles; 200 feet high, 1(>| miles; 000 feet hi^h, 25? miles, 1,000 feet high 36^ miles ?w?iv Aq on pvnmnlfv n tower 120 leet M-.H.j. ?r--j - high will lie visible, to an observer whose eye iselevated lifteen feetabove the seventeen nautical miles. A hot climate is not necessarily a relaxing Climate. The element of moisture in the atmosphere must be included to make a truly relaxing clim ?te. The great heat of Arizona is often com ! mented upon as relaxing and inducive of mental imbecility. This cannot be shown by facts. Let a person comc to tins climate from the East, the South or the coast of Mexico, in the summer, says I the Ari/.ona llerall, and though our thermometer is ranging along above 1U3 degrees the climate will be cxhilerating, because it is so perfectly dry. We never hear complaint of heat till a fall of rain gives us a temporary moisture. Beleaguered Chattanooga. From General Grant's paper in the November Century, describing the campaign and battle of Chattanooga, we quote the following account of the condition of the supplies that reached the besieged city: All supplies for Rose crnns had to be brought from .Nashville. The railroad between this base and the army was in possession of the government up to Bridgeport, the point at which the road crosses to the south side of the Tennessee river; but Brag<*, holding Lookout and Raccoon mountains west of Chattanooga, commanded the railroad, the river, and the shortest and best wagon roads both south and north of the Tennessee, between Chattanooga and Bridgeport. The distance between these two places is but twenty-six miles by rail; but owing to this position of Bragg all supplies for Rosecrans had to be h ailed by a circuitous route, north of the river, and over a mountainous country, increasing the distance to over sixty miles. This country afforded but little food for his animals, near ten thousand of which had already starved, and none were left to draw a single piece of artillery or even the ambulances to convey the sick. The men had been on half rations of hard bread for a rnnciHprnhln t.imn with hut ffiw other supplies, cxccpt beef driven from Nashville across the country. The region along the road became so exhausted of food for the cattle that by the time they reached Chattanooga they were much in the condition of the few animals left alive there, kon the lift.' Indeed, the beef was so poor that the soldiers were in the habit of saying, with a faint facetiousness, that they were living on half rations of hard bread and 'beef dried ou the hoof. Nothing could be transported but food, and the troops were without sufficient shoes or other clothing suitable for the advancing season. "What they had was well worn.

The only means for supplying fuel, for some time before my arrival, had been to cut trees from the north bank of the river, at a considerable distance up the stream, form rafts of it, and float it down with the current, effecting a landing on j the south side, within ou-r lines, by the use of paddles or poles. It would then be carried on the shoulders of the men to their camps. Value of Advertising. Newspaper advertisements are read while the advertisers sleep. The man who advertises in dull times will never feel dull times. Arlv<?rtisinor ia the nhilosonher's stone -~0 I I ; that turns a man's wares to gold. A few gallons of printer's ink spread over a newspaper will equal the services of au army of drummers. Some call it luck; others say it was business ability. It was neither. It was shruwd and judicious advertising. lie who starts without money but with faith in advertising soou outstrips the capitalist who does not advertise. Printers ink has made more fortunes than have ever been made on all the stjck exchanges and in all the gold mines in the world. A good name is better than great riches, so Solomon said?but the man who advertises liberally and judiciously gets both the good name and great riches. ? Mk-liacl Angela's Mistake. In the central square of the capitol at Kome, surrounaeu on mice sines 03' buildings, stands a very large bronze statue of Marcus Anrelius, once emperor of Home, mounted on a spirited horse. This is the only equestrian statue which has been preserved in a perfect condition out of the many that decorated ancient J Kome. Michael Angelo, who de-igned the buildings which at present stand on this hill, was very fond of this statue, and especially admired the horse. One day, while he was studying It, he forcot that it was not alive, and wishing to see it in another position, he cried out, "Cam!" which means, go on. After looking at this horse for some time, one might easily imagine that a shout or a touch of a whip would make it jump.? St., Nicholas. THE HOME DOCTOR. Medicinal Virtues of Ilot Water* Here is what the great disciple of hot water drinking says about it: The water j should be taken as hot as possible. It | is often taken in a wooden goblet. It ! should be taken on an empty stomach half an hour before meals or two hours after. Hot water as a remedial agent is a comparatively new discovery. It was found that rheumatism, gout, etc., were j cured at the hot springs of Arkansas by j the patients drinking quantities of the I hot. water of the amines. Exoeriment j showed that any hot water was as good as that from the springs, the diuretic effect being what was required. ICcracdiea for Krain Weariness. I am going to say something about medicines and what I call brain tonics, but first let me counsel a little change of air, and mayhap change of companionship. Remember that seeing the same faces day after day, and going through the routine of work or pleasure, induces a weariness of mind and body which is little short of positive illness, and might lead to such. Nux vomica is much used in the treati mpnt. nf nervous disorders, nnd it cer taiuly is a very useful remedy when judiciously administered. It should be remembered, however, that nux vomica in any shape or form is a poison, and should be "dealt with most cautiously, j It should be taken in smaller dose3 than j those usually prescribed. The tincture is the safest form, the dose to be not over ten drops three times a day, in a small wine glassfull of quassia or gentian water. This will often be found a valuable, though apparently simple, remedy for dyspepsia (especially for the overworked), in headache, in atonic constipation,in nervous tremblings, acidity, etc. Some people, however, are very susceptible to the influence of tincture of nux vomica, so that the dose to begin with should not be over five drops, and it should not be used more than ten days at a time. The system should be kept open while taking a tonic, it not naturally so. This may be effected by usin? a mild aperient i V _1 J I.-!-- 1- J _ pin at Dea-ume twice u wceit uuu u giuas of Pullna water in the morning. Iron.?This is a valuable blood tonic, but much abused. It should be taken in small doses, and I do not know a better form for it than muriated tincture, in doses of ten drops, not more, three 'times a day, in a little water after meals. The danger of iron lies in its being apt to produce constipation, and also congestion of various internal organs. But if no bad effects are felt, it will do good. The symptoms of its not agreeing would be fullness of the he;id, ringing in the ears, or heat of body. Quinine.?Combined with iron in the form of citrate, this is of great advantage in the treatment of nervousness and brain weariness. It must not be given, however, in doses large enough to affect the head. Although not a homcepathic physiciau, I must take this opportunity of remarking that, as a rule, tonics are given in too large doses. To give larger doses than the blood can take up is surely gross folly. Iron, for example, is usuallv nrescribed almost recklessly; it p is^ess through the body instead of being taken up by the system, and it does no: do this without causing mischief. I have long thought that as regards tonics the doses should bo extremely small, and very frequently taken. Here is a plan, for example, that would be found advantageous to a person who must be at work all day, say at a desk. Let him put thirty minims of the tincture of iron, and a wine-glass full of the infusion of quassia, into a small decanterful of water. Stand this on the table, and sip it every now and then all day long. Zinc.?I believe that this is a much more valuable remedy in eases of nervousness and brain exhaustion than many imagine, Tho oxide of zinc is usually J given in doses commencing with one j grain, and gradually increasing up to ten. This should be mnae into a pm, with a tonic and aperient extract, and given three times a day after meals. It may be continued for a month or six weeks. Extract of Malt.?Thousands who cannot take cod-liver oil without causing dyspepsia and loathing of food may take this delightful tonic. The dose is from a dessert spoonful to a table-spoonful three times a day. It may be mixed with water. There are dozens of other tonic remedies which may be taken with advantage in cases of debility of the brain, but tho3e which I have mentioned are the best. Beware of narcotics and stimulants; they invariably make matters worse. I need hardly add, in conclusion, that attention to the diet is of the greatest consequence, and that the morning tub, with a dash of sea-salt in it, and plenty of wholesome exercise in the open air, must not be forgotten by the individual who sutlers from brain weariness. ?

If you have Rheumatism now, the radical wiseacres exclaim?"Uric Acid!" If you have frequent headaches, they sagely remark?"Uric Acid!" If you have softening of the brain, they insist that it is?"Uric Acid!" If Sciatica or Neuralgia make life miserable, it is?"Uric Acid!" If your skin breaks out in Boils and Pimples, it is?"Uric Acid!" If you have Abscesses and piles, "Uric Acid" has set your blood on fire. If you have dull, languid feelings, backache, kidney or bladder troubles,gout.gravel, poor blood; are ill at ease, threatened with paralysis or apopiexy, vertigo; are duious, dropsical, constipatea or dyspeptic?"Uric Acid" is the key to the situation, the cause of all your difficulties! we do not know as madam Malaria will take kindly to this Masculine Usurper, but he has evidently come to stay. ''Uric Acid*'?this Monster, is the product. of the decomposition?death?constantly taking place within us,and unless he is everyday routed from the system, through the kidneys, by meau3 of some great blood specific like Warner's safe cure, which Senator B. K. Bruce says snatched him from its grasp, there is not the least doubt but that it will utterly ruin the strongest human constitu tion! It is not a young fellow by any means. It has a long and well-known lino of ancestors. Ic L undoubtedly the father of" a very great family of diseases, and though it may be the fashion to ascribe progeny to it that are not directly its own, there can belittle doubt that if it once gets thoroughly seated in the human system, it really does introduce into it mo it of the ailments now, per force of.fashion, attributed to its baleful influence. A Jersey farmer has three acres in sunflowers. Scrofula Lurks in the blood of nearly every one, in many cases inherited. Its severest form is that of runnin? sores on the arms, legs, or feet. B inches in the glan:U of the neck, pimples, cancerous growths, swollen joints, nnd thickening of the upper lip are other symptoms. Hood's Sarsaparilla his had wondetful success in cur. ing scrofula. It thoroughly eradicates the humor from the blood, and givos it new vitality and richness. Albert Eetes, 23 East Pino Street, Lowell, Mass., had been troubled with scrofulous .humor from boyhood, and in the summer of 1884 had a large running sore on his log. On taking Hood'a Sarsaparilla tho mre gradually disappeared, and he has had noindica tion of the humor niuce. Mrs. Wm- McDonald, Woo3ter, O., for 18 months suffered with scrofulous swelling of the glands in tha neck. Hood's S-iraapariila cave immediate relief, the swellings being largely reduced. She thinks there is nothing equal to it. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by all Druggists. $1; six for S5. Prepared byC. I. HOOD & CO..
