JOT A Cabbage Hunt. On Clark street, near the end of Davis street, the Italian Produce Exchange is located. It is a general rendezvous for the hundreds of vegetable farmers, who go there every morning with wagon loads of potatoes, cubbages and other vegetables. Much of the stock thus deposited at the exchange is shipped to various places along the coast. But it is appropriate at this juncture to state that to all intents and purposes the "exchange," so far as a storage building is understood, is a misnomer. The tons of produce arriving every morning are deposited for the most part on Clark street itself. Every cabbage is carefully examined. If it contains the slightest blemish or shows any signs of decay it is thrown aside, and thus becomes public property. By tne time the wagons have cleared away the street is littered with cabbages. Then a scene akin to that indicated here ensues with daily regularity. Men, women and children engage in a sharp competition to secure the delicious vegetable which harmonizes so nicely with corned beef. 8uch pushing and shouting and scrambling as takes place in Clark alley would baffle the pen of the swiftest artist. Women with streaming hair, red faces and huge aprons gather up a stock of vegetables and run off flushed with victory. Even missing goats, attracted from the heights of Telegraph Hill, whisk into the alley and eat their fill of the charity feast spread before them. Nor is the penchant for free cabbages confined alone to the poor of the neighborhood. Merchants and capitalists do not think it a stain on their social escutcheon to drive into the alley in their carriages and leave with a store of cabbages. They arrive arrayed in broadcloth aud plug hats; they leave with stained cuffs and soiled hands. And over the whole scenedrab-shirted, scarfed Italians indolently preside, watching the street swept clean of its edible rubbish.?San Francisco Chronicle.

"I am a farmer, one of those who have to rise early and work late. At the beginning of last Winter I was on a trip to the City of Vicksburg, Miss, .where I got well arencneu. in a suuwa ut mm. x went home and was soon after seized with a dry, hacking cough. This grew worse every day, until I had to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon who has since died, and he told me to get a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. Meantime my cough grew worse and worse and then the Grippe came along and I caught that also very severely. My condition then compelled me to do something. I got two bottles of German Syrup. I began using them, and before taking much of the second bottle, I was entirely clear of the Cough that had hung to me so long, the Grippe, and all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and .have, felt that way ever since." Peter J. Brials, Jr., Cayuga, Hines Co., Miss. 9 ?... ... AGRICULTURAL ] TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. FEEDING OP ENSILAGE. It is always best to teed some dry hay "with the ensilage; eight pounds of cut hay art usually mixed with thirty pounds of the ensilage for a day's feeding. This is given in two or three feeds as may be desirable or habitual. The grain feed is theu given dry, or it may be added to the moist ensilage and hay, which in general is the most useful, as being better digested. Or the feed may be mixed with the cut and wetted hay, and the ensilage given by itself.?New York Timet. FERTILIZERS FOR SMALL FRUITS. On old and much-worn soils commercial fertilizers may be employed with benefit in raising small fruits, but we would not advise depending upon these alone, even if stable manure is scarce and costly. We have neighbors who pay from three to four dollars per load for stable manure, and think it cheaper at that rate than it would be to depend solely on commercial fertilizers. They use the latter largely to start their crops in spring and expect that the stable manure. will carry the plants through the season. Whatever commercial fer* tilizers you conclude to use should be applied on the surface and worked into the soil with harrow and cultivator, and not plowed under in the fall as suggested. The amount of any kind required per acre for 'small fruits will depend largely upon the character of the soil.?American Agriculturist. LEG WEAKNESS IN CHICKENS. Leg weakness and vertigo are both usually caused by high feeding with grain alone. Toung chickens especially should have some animal food with their grain, and if they are not allowed to run out where they can get it in the form of insects and worms, they should be fed some chopped lean meat at least once a day. In feodiDg grain do one kind should be fed alone, for fowls need a mixture, like com, rye, wheat,millet and rice. Change the food of the chickens, or mix several kinds together^ and to those that are Bisk give two or three grains daily of ammonia-citrate of iron dissolved in their drinking water. But do not neglect to give some animal food. Get beef or beeves' hearts or livers and cook, then chop up tine and throw it out to your chickens. A small quantity, say a half ounce, to each chicken daily will be sufficient.?New York Sun. A PIT FOR WINTER STORAGE. A pit which is accessible in all kinds of winter weather is a very valuable adjunct to the kitchen garden, for, as a general rule, the vegetables keep much better and retain their flavor more perfectly when stored outdoors than when kept in a cellar. Last fall, writes a correspondent, I made a small pit as follows : A well-drained corner of the garden was selected and the pit dug four by eight by four feet in depth. This was lined with 1-inch chestnut boards nailed to locast corner-posts. The roof was made of heavy oak boards, having a pitch sufficient to shed the moisture as it came through the soil. A manhole eighteen inches square by twenty inches high was made in the lower corner at one end of the loof. The earth that had hfien dnc out was thrown unon the rrwif. forming a good-sized fiost-proof mound. A movable wire screen of half-inch mesh was fitted into the manhole to keep out mice, rats, etc. A water-tight trap-door closed ihe entrance. A short ladder is used in getting in and out. In this pit I have kept cabbage, turnips, beets, potatoes, celery, apples, etc., in the most excellent condition. The trap-door was propped open for ventilation nearly the whole winter. Nothing was frosted or injured by the cold. As this pit is simple and of easy construction, there is no reason why every garden should not have one.?Popular Gardening. FEUMAffENT GRASS WITHOUT PLOWING. Mv own long txpericnce, and that of many of my acquaintances, writes A. B. Allen, proves that some of the best gross lands vre possess either for pasture or hay have been obtained on clayey loams without plowing. After the forest was cut off and the ground cleared it was sown with grass seed early in spring and then simply harrowed and brushed. So many rtumps stood on the laud aud it was so full of large roots that plowing if attempted would have been very hard work, requiring powerful team, extra stroDg heavy implements; and even with these it could only be partially done, leaving the surface in a very rough state. On such the seed did not take so well nor make so good and smooth a sod as when sowed without plowing. The roots left in the land proved a double benefit. Gradually decaying they lightened the stiff soil and made it friable, keeping it more open to rains and dews, at the same time fertilizing it to a considerable extent by furnishing food to the growing" grass. I know meadows thus formed which have produced a ton of first-rate hay on the average per acre each year for half n Mintiirir withnnt nnnlifnt-mn nf stable manure or fertilizer of any kind. The stumps here were also left till so rotted they could be easily pulled by a yoke or two of cattle, piled up and then burned; these, too, added something to the fertility of the soil.?iVea York Tribune. REMOVING STONES PROM LAND. The amount of labor that can be afforded in improving land is more a question of location and its value after improvement than is often supposed. Near a large city, land freed from stones is valued highly for many U3es, and the stones themselves may often be sold for more than the cost of getting them out for foundation of buildings. Where the stones are not useful for some purpose it makes dear land to dig thcai out or sink and bury them if they are very numerous. The farmer can do this if he is willing to count his own labor little or nothing. Not many farmers in these days are thu3 willing, though it was common enough when the country was newer. Yet there is a satisfaction in removing eyesores, where excessive labor is not required, that makes it worth while to do the work, even though the land secured be not worth what it cost. We recently saw a farmer digging out a rock in the centre of a large field. It probably cost him at the rate of fully a thousand dollars an acre for the apace ' .. . . I c the stone occupied to rid the field of the one nuisance that had always disfigured it. Yet the farmer was well satisfied, and he had reason to be. The improvement was not alone in the land reclaimed to use, but every acre in the whole field was made more valuable thereby. Thus the expense, though apparently extravagant, was fully justified by the good results gained.?Boston Cultivator. SOUTHDOWN SHEEP. Perhaps no breed of domestic animals has been more successfully improved by judicious selection in breeding than the Southdown sheep. After fifty years of careful breeding we have, to-day, a nearly perfect mutton and short-wooled breed. Our modern Southdowns have no horns, their faces and legs are dark brown; the forequartere are wide and deep; the back and the loins are broad, and the ribs are beautifullf sprung; the hindquarters are square and full, the tail is well-set, and the legs are comparatively short?with a fine bone. In short, the breed is almost a perfect type of ovine symmetry. Bat our best breeders are still endeavoring to make improvement. The hardiness and sound constitution of the modern Southdown are two of the best qualities, and care must be exercised so as not to * " ?i mi ? Dreea laem out. mean euauio duuiu* downs to adapt themselves to almost unlimited changes of climate, soil and management. For richness and delicacy of flavor, for juicincss and tenderness, there is no mutton that can equal that of the Southdowns. Their early maturity fits them for the shambles at from twelve | to fifteen months, when they weigh about eighty pounds, and at two years they weigh from one hundred to one hundred and twenty pounds. These I sheep are docile and thrive well on arI tificial pastures and with ordinary treati ment. The ewes average from Bix to eight pounds of wool; yearling rams eight to twelve pounds. The ewes are good mothers and very prolific,?averaging, per flock of one hundred ewes, from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty lambs. The dense and compact fleece of Southdowns is one oi the most useful of our wools; short ia staple, fine and car ling, with spiral eDds, it is generally used for cawKng purposes. Other breeds of sheep crossed by the Southdown ram uniformly partake of the more important characteristic} of the latter. This is not concentrated in either wool, carcass, or form alone, but in all these characters combined.?American Agriculturist. FARM ASD GAKDEN NOTES. Road dust is life to hens and death to lice. Burn the bones and feed them to the fowls. Unusually large eggs denote an overfat condition. Supply what the hens can pick up for themselves when outside. It is not a good plan to have the poultry house near the barn. Send layers to roost with their crops full to carry them over night. Do not give layers soft feed enough to gorge them or make them lazy. One advantage with the incubator chicken is that lice are more easily kept down. Bay breeding fowls in the fall; they will be in a better condition to use in the spring. It is considered that young fcwls mated bring males and older fowls females. Wheat, oats and bran are good epgproducing poultry feed to give at this season. *?? -1 A- IV.1 J. A. All varieties ox piauu tutu, uu dui> stand a test are simply weeds in the way of others. Destroy all weeds and keep the ground clean around your house and outside buildings. Give meat to the fowls in regular supply, warm mess in morning and regular supply of grit, gravel, etc. It is hard to improve on storing apples in barrels or spread on shelves in a room under or above ground that is dry, sweet and kept just above freezing. , Improvement is being made at all times, and with all kind9 of fruit, but when the farmer is brought into contact with so many varieties, each claimed as the "best," he will be unable to select from them. All seed corn should be thoroughly drifld before storing? it awav for next year's planting. When the seed is dry it is less liable to being injured by severe cold, and the more thorough the drying of the com the belter it will keep. The prize for the best 100-acre farm or less in England was won by a farmer who farms eighty-one acres of grass land, forty-one acres being in pasture. He keeps fifty-two cows, and spent $3000 for extra food for his stock each year. It does not pay to feed good food to poor stock. An experienced dairymaD makes use of the remark that he cannoi afford to feed $20 worth of grain to a calf worth only fifty cents, and the expression applies in other directions on the farm. Farmers should rigidly guard theix hogs against disease by procuring any new stock required only after inspecting the herds from which they desire to select. Never buy from a neighborhood in which disease is known to exist or recently existed. An extremely rich soil is not suitable 1 Kl.? TTT^ryrl ior tile large ix iuuj. luogivnuu w> .. is toe rapid and tender. Fortunately there is no great amount of such soiL in this country, and when found it is better adapted to wheat, corn or onions than to pears or apples. A steer that produces the most choice beef is one that is not only fat but well supplied with lean also. Tallow often securcs the prize at fat stock shows ia preference to meat that is intimately interspersed with lean and fat. Weight does not always indicate quality of flesh. A clean soil in the fall and the weeds destroyed before they seed will save onehalf of the labor in the spring. Seeds of weeds start off in growth very early, and the farmer cannot keep them out of the way. The time to destroy weeds is when they are ju3t coming up through the ground. As a speaker at one of the New York dairy schools said: A cow with an udder full of milk is always standing still or lying down, chewing the cud. No one ever saw a dairy cow dancing around in pursuit of exercise, unless she was doing it at the end of the boss cow's horns in barnyard or pasture. A .. "'V .. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. PILLOW- SHAMS. Whoever has wasted valuable momenta ! in attempting to keep pillow-shams in j their places will appreciate a simple dej vice which holds them in position and gives very little trouble in the adjusting. On the back of the shams, at each of the upper corners, sew a bit of narrow tape diagonally across the corner. When the shams are put over the pillow, pull a little corner of the pillow-case up through this tape-loop. Nothing further is necessary, and the shams will stay in their places unless some more than ordinary means disturbs them. This is much more aimnle and convenient than the various bars, frames and riggings to which many housewives think themselves compelled to resort.?The Ledger. RENOVATING OLD FEATHERS. The best way to renovate old feathers is to put them from the ticks into a barrel of hot suds. They should be shaken out under the water after thoroughly washing them in two or three barrels of suds. Rinse them thoroughly. Spread them on a clean sheet on the floor in a small, warm room after wringing them thoroughly in a cloth to extract all the moisture that can be taken out in this way. Leave them over night to dry on the sheet, then remove them to another and beat them with a stick, tying a veil over the face and head to prevent breathing the fluff of the feathers that rises. In a few days the leathers will be fine and dry. They can also be dried by putting them in a bag of white mosquito netting, hanging them in the sun aud turning and beating them occasionally. If one lives near a steam renovating establishment it is better to send the pillow there, as they only charge fifty cents a pillow to renovate them.?New York n -.7 J. TMTU/10 SOME HINTS ABOUT CLEANING. We used to dread window washing worse than any other part of the general housework. To us it was almost an interminable job because in our ignorance we took the very hardest way possible. Two or three years ago we learned an easy way, and since then have not groaned in spirit when window cleaning became necessary. The modus operandi is this: Wash in soapsuds as hot sb can be used,and wipe immediately?without rinsing?and wipe with a soft cloth. If they are then rubbed with a clean, soft paper they will take on a beautiful polish. Usually more satisfactory results are obtained if but one pane is washed at a time, then wiped immediately while still warm. Did you ever try cleaning spots on the carpet with gasoline! Dampen a clean cloth in gasoline and give the spots a good, thorough rubbing,and they will soon disappear, auu leave me uu-peb perfectly clean. If it be very dirty, one can go over the entire carpet with the gasoline and have it as clean as though it had been washed, and with so much less time and work.?Fat^n, Field and Stockman.

What you want to ^ buy is the one that does you the -;5 most good. 1 ' Which one is it? Sometimes, it mav be a matter of doubt. But, in the case of 4 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, there's no room for doubt. It's * ;|r matter that can be proved. With the facts before yon, it's an insult to your intelligence to , ^ havo ' something else offered as ' ^ * just 88 gOod. And here's the proof: Among all the medicines that claim to cure woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg- . ^ nlarities, and diseases, the " Favorite Prescription" is the only one that's guaranteed. If it doesn't do all that's claimed '$p| for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction in every case, you'll have your money back. There's strength and vigor ffcr .>& every tired and feeble woman, .
