Frnninff Grape Vines.
A subscriber at Elbcron, N. J., asks,
when is the best time to prune grape
vines, if the cuttings can be utilized to
grow new vines? In answer we say:
The grape viues should be pruned before
the rising of the sap. No time should
now be lost, else the vines will bleed
badly. Jf cuttings are wanted cut last
year's wood to two eyes, tie in bundles of
fifty each, set these on end and cover entirely
with earth. If the cuttings had
been taken last fall, the spring would
have found the ends nicely calloused, for
growing. As 600n as the soil is in condition
for working in (he spring, open a
trench, and set the cuttings therein, on j
an exact line, firming the soil very hard
about the bottom. J.eave the upper eye
just about even with the top of the earth.
They should make strong plants by
autamn.?Farm, Fuid and Stockman.
Preservation of Meat by Susar.
It results from a special report made
to the French Minister of Agriculture
that sugar is an excellent agent for preserving
meat, and possesses some advantages
over salt. In fact, sa't absorbs a
portion of the nutritive substances and |
of the flavor of meat. When an analysis
is m.ideof a solution of the salt dissolved
by water contained in meat we lind albuminoid
bodies, extractive substances,
potassa and phosphoric acid. Salt deprives
meat of these substances so much
the more readily in propoition as it enters
the tissues more deeply or acts for a
longer time. It then results that the
meat, when taken fiom the saline solution,
has lo>t nutritive elements of j
genuine importance. Powdered sugar, |
on the conlrary, being less soluble, pro- i
duces less liquid. It forms around the |
meat a solid crust, which removes very j
little water from it and does not alter its |
taste. Thus preserved, it suffices to im- ,
moi'te thn rrw*nt ill Tv:tt<-r before, usinf? it. I
Farming a Business.
Fanning is a business, and instead of
being a simple one, which anyone may
pick up in a short time, it is one of the
most complex and intricate with which
men have to do, and is surrounded with
endless and obscure conditions which
even the most patient investigations can
not entirely grasp. Kvcri the most successful
and advanced fa:mers understand
but imperfectly the forces with which j
they deal. Not one among the millions |
can even manage a dung heap for all
there is in it, and m every field and in |
wnrtr ctnll f-Viorp ie n 1;ir>lc nf tnnwlfirffffi
as to how to secure the best results. :
How idle, then, for any oue to assume j
that their own experience and observation
has disclosed all that it is possible
or valuable to know regarding it. It is
indeed a business?and one which no :
one has mastered or is likely to entirely |
master?paying best those who study its '
conditions most closely aud constantly, '
and make themselves :is thoroughly ac-:
quainted as possible with everything
pertaining to it.?Iircehr'a Gazette.
Losing a Hundred Hens.
I have several times been told by peo-!
pie keeping poultry that they have lost!
many fowls; sometimes 100 out of 200, j
and the appearance of those that were 1
left would testify for the truthfulness of >
the statements. After inquiries I have :
generally discovered that the loss of so I
manv has been more from a want of!
knowledge of how to check and keep
diseases uuder control than from auy j
other cause. All poultry are liab'.e to ;
take cold, no matter how much they j
are fed and cared for. If they are not
then treated in the right way, and if i
the colds are not taken in time, the
birds get out of condition; and weak- j

an experienced poultry man see the
Btate of health of any yards of poultry !
by a little careful examination. A mild '
application of tonics, disinfectants etc.,
generally brings up the fowls to their
normal condition. Should the trouble
prove a little more stubborn, take more j
decided means at once. Cull out the j
ailing ones, work at the rest with the ;
mild treatment and give the quarant ned
birds stronger remedies. This will geu- j
erally su'tice, but should the sick biids
not quickly recover, kill them, unless j

Food Tor Cattle.
It has been proved in France by ex- !
penments made by M. Regnard that
lambs and calves flourish finely on a blood
diet, says a Chicago Tribune corre* j
spondent. Tons on tons of blood are now
wasted which should be saved and !
utilized on the great cattle ranges and
in the Chicago slaughter houses. No
more compact form of food can bcfouni.
It would bear transportation to places
i i l _ r __ n i .-5
wnere no Kinu 01 grain or nour couiu
pro itably be taken. All animals, even
the herbivora, are at first nourished on a
diet of milk, which is purely animal
food, therefore a properly prepared blood
diet is not so much against nature as it
would seem at the first mention of it.
In France the blood is prepared by
heating it to 100 degrees centigrade.
This forms a coagulum which is pressed
and then rapidly dried in an oven. The
blood thus desicated is then ground in a
mill like a spice or colTce mill, when it is
ready to be sacked for shipment. It is
Eaid to be destitute of odor and taste
and keeps well. It re.juiies but a very
small quantity of this blcod food to
keep a lamb or calf in exc ellent condition.
In France, in the experiments
made, the meal of blood was given
mixed with other food, nnd the doses 1
were only from ten to eighty grains
daily.
One of the experiments was as fol-1
lows: Three lambs were kept on the
ordinary diet of beet-root, hay, etc.,
and to "three others the powdered blood
was given. The first steadily lost flebh,
while the latter increased to three times
the original weight, and connoisseurs
declared that they had never seen such
fine lambs of the same age. The animals
surpassed their fellows which had
beer, suckled by their dams both in
weight and size, and their <-oat of wool
became doubled in thickness.
AVith calves there was the same astonishing
success, and this system of alimentation
is now found to be al?o applicable
to the human iare, and in the
case of a rickety child, eighteen months .
of age the results obtained were even ;
beyond the expectations of the most'
e&rwrmnp. Thfi blood meal could doubt- I
less be dissolved in warm water very ;
readily, in which shape it could be given
to lambs abandoned by their mothers,
or to very young calve*.
At Chicago, and at all the great manu-;
facturing places, immense quantities of
this bloodmeal might be cheaply prepared.
It would doubtless be good for '
man as well as beast, and a brand for j
his use !-hould also be manufactured.
This should be prepared wi^i due regard
to clcanliuess, and would then form a
more compact food than any known. It
could be used as an ingredient in soups
and many other dishes: with a small
sack of it mixed in proper proportion
with corn meal or oatmeal, a cowboy
might scout the mountains for a month.
He would only need water to prepare
a tirst-c!a?s soup. Had the De Long
party been provided with a sack of this
blood-meal when they abandoned their
vessel in the Arctic and took to the
shore they would have pulled through
the winter.
The cattle and sheep men of Idaho and
Montana should have a good stock of this
blood meal prepared at I hicauo or elsewhere
next summer and shipped to them
for next winter. In the dry air of regions
hitherward it would keep better
thau in the East, where it might be injured
by absorbing too much moisture in
damp weather. Dairymen will also want J
this blood food. Tlry may then rear
their calves and at the same time sell all I
the milk their cows produce.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Very bcneficial results arc reported j
from the use of nitrate of soda fertilizer, j
A New England farmer reports that j
cow manure produces many grub worms, j
For producing egg> give chopped cio- j
ver and chopped meat, mixed aud i
scalded.
A Western exchange advi-es each far- j
mer to have a map 01 tiie young orchard .
made, with the location of all the dif
ferent varieties put down in black and !
white. Then if the labels get lost or the .
writing on thr-m bccutncs illegible, one !
can refer to the map.
To cure the pernicious practice of egg !
eating among liens an exchange suggests
that it is a good plan to make the nests
out of boxes about ten inches square and
fifteen inches deep. This will prevent
t,he bens from standing on the cage of
the nest and reaching down to the eggs
after laying them, and they will be un- I
able to get at th'.m while they are in the
nest.
I prefer to d'shorn cattle before they ,
are two weeks old, before the little nub !
is attached to the skul I bone; with a sharp j
penknife it is easy and quickly done, |
says a Xe v York farmer. I cousidcr it :
no more harmful than taking a wart oil
j our own hands. I do not iutend raising
any more horns, I am so well pleased
with the young stock I have growing i
wit!.out these worse tbau useless excres- i
cences.
According to the American Agricu1- ;
turis'y all that is required for a smooth
w aterproof face on the rough foundation
wall of a house is to make good strong !
sand and lime mortar, and then raix into
it, in small batches as used, one shovel- (
ful of cement to six or eight of the mortar.
When the face of the wall lias been '
made str light and smooth with this, put
on a thin coat of cement and fine sand, >
adding coloring matter if desired. To
lay the face off m blocks, stripe with a
brush before the mortar is thoroughly
dry.
In addition to its value for fee.lin^,
clover is one of the best crops for restor- 1
ing the fertility of the land. Its roots
penetrate deep, and thus bring nourish- i
ment to the surface that the ordinary 1
grasses do not reach, and as they have
been found to weij;h 3,000 pounds to the
acre when dried, it will readily be seen ;
what au amount of matter is left in the '
soil when the pasture is plowed up. The
decay of this adds largely to the fertility
of the soil, and on this account clover is i
made use of on land that has been ren- '
dercd unproductive by constant cropping.

more or less even after ten years, whenever
the surface is dressed off. In order
to make joints that will never start, the
}VomI- Worker advises that the piece on
which tenons are made should be dressed
several times until the shrinkage has '
ceased. Then let the tenons be made. \
After these have shrunk in the air of the J

tenoned pieces may be driven into place \

In an address before the New Jersey |
State Horticultural Society seme time (
ago, John Thorp, an eminent Xcw York
florist, calls attention to the fact that |
while many of the newer roses are worthy
of the praise they receive, some of the j
old ones arc still deservedly in ] opular j
favor; stating that the hardy climbing
rose, Baltimore Bell, the Bourbon, Sou- j
venir de la Malmaison, and the Tea, Bon
Silene, have ail been in cultivation since 1
1840, while the Tea, Safrano, was intro- 1
duccd in 1809, aud the Bengal rose, !
Agrippina. in 17851; and a!l are yet held .
in high estimation.
The Diary World learned that several :
members of a familv were made sick bv I
drinking the milk from a young cow. I
An investigation was made by that paper !
with the following result: " In the correspondence
we drew out the fact that j
the cow waB rather a wild one and had .
been driven from the auction on a fust j
run, and that before she bad been cooled |
oil the milk had been drawn, with there- j
suits above stated. We have time and
again warned readers that milk taken
from a frightened or heated cow is unfit
for use, and sickness in some form or
other is sure to follow its use.
Three trials in feeding milch and butter
cows at the Wisconsin Experiment
Station resulted in a saving of 8G per
cent, of the fouder fed on the nrst trial,
31 per cent, in the second and!) percent.1
in the third by cutting the corn fodder.1
This shows an average gain in cutting
corn fodder of over 2-3 per cent.?that is
to say, 100 pounds of corn fodder cut j
into inch lengths produced as much milk |
or butter as 125 pounds of uncut fodder. |
Prof. Henry thinks that the ^ain from j
cutting the mammoth varieties of Southern
fodder corn may run up to fully 40
per cent. In another case, 721 pounds
of cut corn fodder pi odu ed as much as j
118:} pounds of uncut fodder, or a gain
of more than 00 per cent.
A commission appointed by the French
Government to inquire iuto the use of
salt lor domestic animals reported ou
the matter as follows: I. Salt ought to
be given to domestic animals to replace
the saline matter wa-hed out of their
food by boiling, steaming, etc. 2. Salt
countc acts the ill ellc.ts of wet pastures
and food on sheep, and prevents footrot.
It increases the (low of saliva,
and therefore hastens fattening. 4. In
making inixuresof <hafT, potatoes, beets,
bran, oil cake, etc., salt always ought to ;
be added. The daily allowance reeom- j
mond' d by the commission was for a i
milch coxv or ox 2 o/.p.; for a fattening
slail-fed ox, 2 1-2 to 4 1-2 ozs.; for a
fattening pig, 1 to 2 ozs.; for a lcau
sheen. 1-2 to -i-4 of an o^., for a horse,
donkey or mule, 1 oz.

j The Funereal Month of March.
An observant metropolitan barber says that
: be can tell one's physical condition dv the
! 6tate of his hair!
The Bible tells us that with his hair pone
j SaniRc.n lost his strength. The Romans con
j sidered baldness h serious affliction and Julius
C;psar was never quite satisile 1 with himself
because his poll was bare.
! The face, however, is the open book, anl
! one can rtadily trac e in its various expresj
sions, lines, changes and complexion the state
of the system.
I Tho eye that is unusually bright and yet
, has a pallid brightness, tho "face upon whose
I cheeks nature paints a rose of singular beauty
j and flush, more marked in contrast with the
I alabaster appearance of the forehead and
! nose and lower part of the face, is one of
those whom the skilled physician will tell you
will some day dread the funereal month of
March, because it is thou that consumption
reap* its richest hsrve-t. Consumption they
tell us is caused by this, that and the other
j thing, by microl es in the air, by micro-organisms
iu Hie blood, by deficient nutrition, by a
I thousand and one things, but whatever the
sialics /lnnov l.orrine with O Oftimh ATlll till*
! remeiiy that will effectually stop the cause of
that cough cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of a wasting. To
stop it effectually, a n-medy must be use>l
that will search out the cause, remove that
and then heal the lung ?md do away with the
cough. This is the power, special to itself,
possessed alone l>y Warner's Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy. This is no newfangled
notion of narcotics and poisons, but
an old fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by our
ancestors many years ago, the formula of
which has been secured exclusively by the
present manufacturers at great trouble and
expense. It is not a mere cold dryer. It is a
system searcher and upbuilder and a consumption
expellant. where others fail, it |
Wilis, refttUSU Jb gt'U* ilb l/i?c VVU^UlUUVlltti
cause and removes it from the system.
J. W. Hensaw, of Grtensboro, Pa., on Jan.
15, ISfcg, reported that "hehad derived more
nal benefit for the length of time, from
Warner's Log Cabin Cough and Consumption
remedy than he had for years from the j
best state physicians."
If you have a cough, night sweats, " positive
assurance in your own mind that you,
oh?you. have no consumption," and yet lose
flesh, appetite, courage, as your lungs waste
away.you may know that soon the funereal
month' of March will claim you, unless
promptly and faithfully you use the article
named. If other remedies have failed try
this one thoroughly. If others are offered,
insist the more on trying this unequaled
preparation.
f>ome persons are prone to consumption,
and they should never allow the disease to be
come seateo.
A Noted American Dentist.
Dr. Thomas Evans, the American dentist,
is said to have made a silver tube
for the throat of the German Crown
Prince by which that personage's life
was prolonged.
Dr. Evans is one of the celebrities of |
Paris. In the early days of the Second
Empire he was practising dentistry.in an '
humble way in Paris. His skill coining
to the ea:s of the Emperor he was called
to attend that potentate professionally.
So well was the third >"apoleon pleased !
with Evans' manipul it ion of the imperial
molars that he gave him private information
of the plans of IIauss:nann, the Bill ,
TrfAA/l r\ f Aot- woe fVir.n vn.
constructing the Paris stieets. By taking
advantage of the Emperor's tip and investing
judicious!}- in land I>r. Evans
made a large fortune, but continued to
practise dentistry and to bask in the
patronage of royalty.
It was undoubtedly due to Dr. Evans'
cleverness that the Empress Eugenic and
the Prince Imperial were smuggled out
of Paris after the news of the Sedan dis- 1
aster, and he claims to have had the dis- j
tinguislied honor afterward of being
kissed by the Emperor in grateful recog- 1
nition of that service.
Er. Evans is a stoutish man of medium J
height, with long whiskers of the kind I :

Poison of Human Teeth. | J
"The poison conveyed by human teeth (
is one of the most annoying that a {
physician evir has to deal witn," writes '.
Dr. A. C. Robinson. "A bitten ear or J
nose is months in healing, where a more j
important wound inflicted by an instru- 1 *
ment would readiiy yield to simple reme- t
dies. I have under my attention severe t
and most complicated cases of blood .
poisoning, in which the patient had but j
sliyhtly abraided the hand in the course j
of a l ght by striking the knuckles
against the teeth of his opponent. I
have known hands thus poisoned only
6aved from amputation by the applicacation
of all the resourc es of science. 1
Tobacco or whisky, or derangement of 1
the stomach from many other causes, (
may be iesponsiblc for the poisonous con- 1
dition of the teeth, and I am not pre- 1
fared to.'ay that a man with good health }
and a clean, sweet month would convey
the poison, but I can only speak of the ,
frequency of this cla^s of cases and the i
diftculty of attending them successfully.

Of all the queer superstitions of which
I ever heard there ie one possessed by a
man on 'Change that caps the superstitious
climax, says a St. Louis GlolxDemocrat
writer. I won't tell you bis
name, but he is one of the most prominent
grain and pork dealers in the city.
One night last summer he was a visitor
at the Fifth District Police Station. We
were bothered a good deal just then by
bats that keep flying up and down
through the stable attached to the station.
Our visitor and the stable boys killed
several of the bnts, and the liver was
taken from each of them and carried
away in the merchant's pocket. lie
wanted them, he said, to give him luck
in his business transactions, for he declared
there was more good luck in one
bat's liver than there was in half a hundred
rabbits' feet, which were well

portions. He told i:s where he had discovered
the l.at's liver clmrm.
It was on a lower Mississippi steamboot,
about a year airo. A party of colored
deck-hands were pliiying crnps.
One of the party h .d a bat's liver, and he
laid it on the floor every time he p'eked
up the ivories to throw. As a result he
won all the money his companions had.
After doing this four or five times on
the trip up from Xew Orleans to Memphis,
the I at's liver holder was barred
from the game. He couldu't lose. The
merchant to whom I refer carries his bat's

A Romance or the Railroad.
The great strike on the " Q" road reminds
me of a romance, says a writer in
the Chicago Mail. In one of the towns
on the main line lives a man who for
years has been iu the employ of the corporation
which is now having trouble.
From an apprentice boy in the workshop
he worked his way up until he became
an engineer. One n'ght he was called
up and sent out on an extra. He had not
gone far on his run when something
danced before the glare of his headlight,
and as quickly did he reverse the engine.
T navincr the nilot. he walked down the
0 j 7 - "
track and found a child neatly wrapped
and wide awake. He took it back to
the pilot, made a cot for it, and proceeded
on his run. On his return home the
waif of the road whs taken to his home,
adopted, reared, and educated. She became
one of the beauties of the little
town and grew into womanhood. The
engineer, although nearly thirty-five
rears older than the pretty-faced creature,
loved her, and they were married.
When there were rumors of a strike the
:>ld engineer appealed to his child-wife
for advice, and she begged him to regain
with the company and not desert
the road on which he had found her and
from whic h he rescued her. He con6entjd,
and there was one of the old engiaeers
who was true to the throttle. I
nave this little story from a gentleman
ivho lives in the town where the old engineer
makes his home.

Coffined Before His Time.
The Pester Lloyd reports from Belgrade
.vhat narrowly escaped being a case of
ihameful superstition. The police found
ying in the street the body of a man apparently
frozen to death. Efforts to
evive him failed, and his identity havngbeen
ascertained, he was handed over
;o his family for interment. The ceme:ery
was a considerable way distant; and
is it was being reached the driver of the j
icaise told the priest who attended for | '
tie religious service uiat nc nearu some
ioi.se in the coffin. The clergyman and
>thci8 drawing near also heard the noise,
md all ran away lest a vampire should
ssuc from it and attack them. The
Jriver, terrified at finding himself alone,
;urned about and drove the hearse to the I
learest police station. By this time a I
tnockiDg was distinctly audible. The
:offin was forc ed open, and the man was
'ound alive and in a very exhausted state.
Fie complained pathetically of the at:empt
to bury him despite his remon
itanoes. He was taken to the hospital
md had nearly recovered. He had been
pending tfic evening with some boon
.'ompanion?, ?nd wnnderiDg in a state of
ntoxicntion, fell and became insensible
rom the cold. Probably the jolting of
he hearse revived him. It is a superstiion

Mrs. Peters h*d ills
Mrs. Peters had chills,
Mrs. Peters was sure she was going to die;
Thev dosed her with pills,
\\ ith powders and squills,
With remedies wet, and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured h r,
But none of them cured her.
Their names and their number nobody eould
tell;
And she soon might have died,
But some "Pellets1' were tried,
That acted like magic, and th?n she got well.
The magic "Pellets" were Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pelletts (the original Little
Liver Pills). They cured Mrs. Peters, and now
she would n't be without them.
