Farm, Garden and Household. Patent Wagon Lubricant*. A resin-lime soap, prepared by stirring 80 pounds of dry-slaked lime into 100 pounds of rosin oil, and heating, with continued stirring, until a pasty mass, free from lumps, is formed, which finally runs from the stirrer like sirup, is a principal ingredient of different forms of patent axle grease. Some of these are prepared as follows : Blue, by boiling 500 pounds of crude rosin oil, one hour, with twe pounds of dryslaked lime, allowing it to cool, drawing off the oil from the sediment, and stirring into it, while still warm, 10 to 12 pounds of the above soap, until a blue mass of the consistency of butter is obtained. Yellow, by adding to this six per cent, of an extract of turmeric, prepared by boiling one part of turmeric with 20 of soda-lye. Black, by adding two pounds of lampblack, rubbed up with rosin oil, to 100 pounds of the blue mass. Patent palm-oil lubricant is made by melting and stirring together 10 pounds of the resin soap and ten pounds of palm oil, and then mixing in 500 pounds of rosin oil, and enough soap (2-3 pounds),-to give the consistency of butter; and, finally, seven to eight pounds of soda lye, obtained from TO pounds calcined carbonate of soda, 200 pounds -water, and 35 pounds lime, as milk of lime. The cheap, thick, residual oils from the manufacture of paraffine, can be improved as lubricants, by thickening them by melting them with lead soap. Mixtures of petroleum, rosin oil and resin soap, are frequently used as lubricants, as well as glycerine. Thinning Fruit. No person can expect the largest measure of success in fruit-growing until he \>r she becomes convinced of * the absolute necessity of relieving overburdened branches. It may be pardonable to permit a tree or vine to bear specimens early, though at the cost of vigor and productiveness in the future. But if permanent good results are sought the heroic process of thinning must be resorted to. There are trees which will bear large crops of choice fruit, but they are rare. Money would be made if half the fruit of all the trees in the country were removed every year. *_ i - iL.i _r /..n ... 1 1 1 j\n appie mat is 01 tuu size, anci wnicn has become so by having room and a full supply of nourishment, will give far greater satisfaction, and have more real value than twice the weight in small apples of the same sort which have grown thick together, and been pinched and starved. In thinning it is desirable to seek sunlight, that high color may be obtained, but too much sun is decidedly injurious, for undue evaporation takes place and the color changes to a sickly yellow, or a hard red, and the quality is impaired. All fruit needs the protection of leaves, and judgment must be used. Much will of course depend on the climate, as in a dry and hot one, more shade is necessary than in a moist and cloudy one. "While the coloring process is going on, especially with grapes, some shade is absolutely essential. Household Recipe*.

Eastern farmers could be much benefited by taking note of our experience with the potato bug. I see now how I might have made much money by using the experience of farmers further West, where the bugs first made their appearance, for the price of potatoes has more than doubled. I find the cost and applying of Paris green is not more than $5 an acre. It is a sure remedy. Are you skeptical ? Then just put a pint in the centre of your linen handkerchief, take hold of the four corners of it anil give it a shake over each hill, then examine four days afterward, and you'll be convinced by the great slaughter. Yet there are people here who spend about 50 days' work on each aero in picking bugs by hand, and in sweeping tnem in a tin pan with a wisp broom.? //. VoorhccH, Ottawa Co., Mich. Official Report of the Wheat Crop. The Agricultural BureaH at Washington issue the lollowing official report of the condition of the wheat crop : The winter wheat is mostly harvested. Of 753 counties from which reports have been received, 202 are above the average, 108 average and 381 below. Of 300 counties reporting spring wheat 103 are above the average, 115 average and 68 below. The average of winter wheat is somewhat increased, though many fields have been winter-killed and ploughed up for spring wheat and other crops. The acreage of spring wheat is very largely increased, and especially in the Northwest is unusually promising. The indications of the crop of 1873 are considered at least equal to those of June, 1872, when the Department estimated the prospective crop at 220,000,000 bushels. Subsequent conditions of growth raised the first estimate of the year in the annual report of 1872 ( not yet published) to 210,997,020 bushels. With equally favorably conditions the yield may be safely set down at 250,000.000 bushels. Insect ravages, how ever, are reported in the spring wheat, indicating serious loss in some localities. No National Costumes at Vienna. " We are rather disappointed," writes a correspondent from Vienna, " in our expectation of seeing people dressed in the costumes of all nations among the exhibitors and spectators. On the contrary, there was nothing to indicate that we were on this side of the Atlantic in the dress of any one, except two greasy and dirty-looking Syrians, in their long gowns, which we passed in the grounds. All, even Turks, wore the European dress, except that the latter retained their red skull-caps, with a long black tassel hanging down. Even the Chinese have cut off their tails, donned coats, pantaloons, vest, necktie, and felt hat, and no longer attract attention except from their almond-shaped eyes." Thirteen persons were injured, two of them seriously, by a railroad collision between excursion trains on the Atlantic and Paoii^ Railroad near St. Loois. A Fatal Tiger Hnnt. A fatal tiger hunt, whose details are worthy the graphic pen of a Cummings, occurred recently at Chudderghout, India. The victim was Mr. Jos. Gay, a young man connected with the English Public Works Department. A man-eater had been infesting the region where he was stopping, and many had fallen victims. Hearing of his depredations, Mr. Marrett, English engineer in the place, and a keen sportsman, started in pursuit, accompanied by Mr. Gay, who was staying with him and anxious to witness a tiger hunt. Armed each with a rifle, and assisted by four shikarees, also armed, the party soon collected a batch of |beaters and tom-tom wallahs, who were set to work to drive the tiger out of his hiding place. Mr. Marrett and ono of the shikarees took up their position under a tree, while Mr. Gay, who by the way, was a novice in such matters, with the other shikarees climbed tip the tree. All were now eagerly on the look-out, when suddenly the man-eater, with a terrible growl, made a spring from an adjacent thicket at Mr. Marrett, who had just sufficient time to drop on his knee and fire, the ball striking the animal on the lower jaw, which it completely shattered. Before Mr. Marrett could rise the tiger was upon him. A desperate struggle was the consequence, and the tiger, Mr. Marrett and shikaree all rolled oyer each other in the melee. Mr. Gay, who was perched upon the tree exactly overhead, while trying to change his position in order to have a better shot at the tiger, lost his footing, and fell straight upon the back of the infuriated animal, which immediately turned upon him most savagely, attacking him with his claws alone, as his under jaw was rendered useless from the shot he had received from Mr. Marrett's rifle. On Mr. Marrett regaining consciousness, he found he was deserted by all except the shikaree who was knocked down with him in the encounter, but who was not much hurt; and a few paces off was the man-eater, still engaged in mauling and mangling his helpless victim. His first impulse was to seize hisrifle; but this was found to be perfectly useless, it having been considerably damaged during the struggle with the tiger. The brute now seeing Mr. Marrett move about, left Mr. Gay and retired a short distance, apparently waiting to see what his intentions were. Mr. Marrett?who, strange to say, was only slightly wounded?and his faithful shikcree ran up at once to the rescue of Mr. Gay; but no sooner had they approached the prostrate form than the monster made a dash at them, and once mere took possession of his victim, standing right across the almost lifeless body and looking around with an air of conscious strength and defiance, and challenging as it were anyene to approach him. The beaters and others who had all this time remained inactive and silent spectators of what was being enacted at a distance, now gradually approached, and after a groat deal of persuasion, Mr. Marrett induced them to charge the brute in a body, and with the aid of tom-toms, Ac., succeeded in frightening him away to a neighboring hill, where he was soon lost sight of. Mr. Gay was taken home and for a time seemed to progress favorably, but a choking sensation at last seized him and he expired, a victim of his first tiger hunt. A Stowaway Dog. Many years ago, upon returning from a residence in Italy, we took a steamer from Leghorn to Liverpool to avoid the fatigue of the land journey. On coming into port at Marseilles we were detained several days, the ship's boatsplying between the steamer and the shore, the harbor being, as usual, crowded with ships of everj* nation and description. On the second day after leaving port a most miserable, half-starved dog, (terrier), one side of whose body was a mass of pitch, was observed to crawl upon the companion-ladder, giving n terrified look around him. Much surprised at the sight of the wretched animal, the captain exclaimed, < " Whose dog can this be ?" and the inquiry went round among the several : passengers and crew. No one owned him, and the steward following him on deck explained that he had found the poor creature hidden away in an empty berth. Captain M., a kind and humane man, proposed to adopt him as one of the ship's company, and setting h.m up oh his hind legs made a pretence of giv| ing him a dozen as a punishment forhis coming on board as a stowawav, greatly to the amusement of the children, anil then named him Jack. A sailor greased his coat and set him i free from the witch, makincr him look more respectable ; and with good living and kind treatment Jack soon recovered his spirits and seemed, out of gratitude, to attach himself specially to the cap: tain. If spoken to in any other language than English lie would remain quite un concerned, but "Good dog," "Good old fellow," would make him wag his tail and look happy. I Before coming into the itfersey we took in our pilot. Then a sudden change came over Jack, who had been a most i quiet, peaceeble traveler ; he grewquite excited, running up and down, on to the bridge, and jumping up to get a look over the side; so great was his evident excitement the nearer we came to Liverpool that he attracted the attention of every one on board. On reaching our destination, and while as yet the steamer had scarcely stopped, the ropes for : mooring being only thrown on shore, Jack was observed to mount a case oi oranges placed at the side of the steamer, and with one bound leap on shore in a moment. " Follow that dog," cried the captain to a man standing on the wharf, "and see where he goes." Off set the man, and after some time returned quite out of breath, saying he had been obliged to give over the chase, Jack having set off at a quick run up one street and down another, evidently taking the nearest road home. The curious fact was how the dog's instinct enabled him to choose out of the many ships lying around one whose destination was Liv erpool. How lie came on board none of the sailors could tell; but that he was doing wrong he evidently kaew by hidiug himself away until discovered by the steward. The Shall of Persia is prohibited, by j etiquette, from ever walking up stairs, and he is therefore reduced to the necessity of sleeping perpetuallv 011 the ground floor, just like the Louisville journalists, who sleep on the ground floor because they have a peculiar ten1 dency to drop out of windows at night. Chinese Funeral at Belleville, "S. J. Paeullnr Ctrrmonlei Over the Corpse of a Chinese Laundryman. Lu Ching Choo, -who had served for two years in Capt. Harvey's laundry at Belleville, N. J., died surrounded by his friends and countrymen. Lu Ching Clioo had become a foreman and was well liked by all his fellow washermen in Belleville. On his death bed he commissioned the interpreter of the laundry to convey to his wife in the flowery kingdom the intelligence of his death. When he was at the point of death his fellow-laundrymen gathered around the bedside first to mutter in their vernacular fervent supplications to Joss, and then to look on in melancholy silence at the death struggle of their countrymen. When he breathed his last there was a loud clattering of wooden shoes, for i.1 ?b ^ A/1 /Iflofll UlUC>t5 V> liU UilU nui 1UUUUCU vuu uvnvu MVM were hastening to their respective quarters in search of joss sticks which they ceremoniously distributed among their countrymen without distinction, whether faithful or Christianized. There was hardly a word uttered. The Celestials seemed to act automatically after the death. The next afternoon the corpse was placed in a freshly-bleached blouse and a pair of baggy pantaloons. Its jet black pigtail was arranged with taste ; nor was the corpse wanting in a new pair of wooden shoes to make easy its invisible journey to the Land of Flowers. Without a coffin or shroud, the mortal remains of Lu Ching Choo were borne slowly and silently down the stairs of the* laundry, followed by his brethren. On reaching the place of burial the Celestials filed off in good order, and nearly formed a circle around the grave. Lu Ching Choo was reverently lowered iute the grave, and this ceremony was followed by a jinglincr of strange prayers. Then the interpreter, who seemed to superintend the burial service,, lighted a pile of papfrs and threw them into the grave. Each of the Chinamen increased the burning pile by throwing other pieces of paper on it. They burned joss sticks and piously cast them into the grave, so | that the soul of the departed might asJ cend in the flames and smoke to a realm of perpetual happiness. After the covering of the grave, prayers were muttered, and two-cent and one-cent pieces were distributed among the spectators. Whit Causes Baldness. Dio Lewis accounts for the baldness of men in a very simple way?their habit of keeping the head cohstantly covered. He says that you never see a man lose a hair below where the hat touches his skull. It will take it off as clean as you can shave it down to exactly that line, but never a hair below, not if he has been bald fifty years. The common black stiff hat, as impervious as sheet iron, retains the heat and perspiration. The little hair-glands, which bear the same relation to the hair that the seed wheat does to the plant above ground, become weak from the presence of the moisture and heat, and finally become too weak to sustain the hair. It falls out, and baldness exists. A man with a good head of hair needs very little protection whero the hair grows. " And vet," he says, " we men wear immensely thick fur caps, and what amounts to sheet-iron hats, and do not dare step out in a chilly atmosphere a moment less we take cold. It is silly, weak, and really a serious error. The Creator knew what he was about when he covered a man's skull with hair. It was a very important function in protecting the brain. Bald,,ness is a serious misfortune. It will never occur in any man who will wear such a hat as I do?a common high silk hat .with five hundred holes through the top, so that there shall be more hole than hat. This costs nothing ; the hatter will do it when you purchase your hat. If the nap be combed back the wrong way, and if after the holes are made it be combed the right way, no one will ever observe the peculiarity. The hat will wear quite as long?tfie hatters say considerably longer?be cause it is ciry msieau oj iikmnl ; m brief, there is not a single objection to it, while it will certainly prevent baldness, keep the top of the head cool, and prevent much headache. A Little too Late. Competition is said to bo .the "life of trade," writes a correspondent, and I suppose it is ; but it may bo carried to extremes, as, I think, the Drawer will admit after reading this. Having been appointed to administer on the estate of a neighbor recently deceased, I was greatly annoyed by solicitations ; for an order for the grave-stones for the ! departed. After some three or four I weeks a very gentlemanly "nsarblemnn" introduced himself, told mo his business, and asked for "the job." I replied that as soon as it was known a person was dangerously ill, "a gravestone man" made his appearance, de' manded "the job," and asked for the inscription for the head-stone. He replied that lie knew it was so, and added, "/don't do it, and I won't, for it isn't decent; but I often find myself in the same 'fix' that Deacon B was in." "How was that?" I asked. "Why," said he, "old Deacon B had long had his eye on Mrs. W , whose husband had for several weeks lingered o? the borders of the grave. A few days after the funeral of Brother W the deacon made a friendly call on the widow, and-in the course of the conversation remarked that he proposed to offer her the consolation of his hand and heart, which he hoped would not be unacceptable to her. 'Oh, deacon,' she replied, 'you are too late: Elder (.' spoke fo me at the grave!'" Mr. Christopher Shearer, a fruit farmer near Reading, Pennsylvania, has probably the largest refrigerator in the country. It isfitty-five feet square, and holds, when fi;l?d, about one hundred and forty cartloads of ice and four thousand bushels of fruit. Last fall Mr. Shearer placed in it one thousand seven hundred bushels of apples, four hundred and fifty bushels of Bartlett and fifty bushels of Lawrence pears. His brother, who is the owner of an adjoining farm, also stored one hundred bushels of apples in it, some of which are still there and as solid as when they were taken from the trees. J. T.

The Anglo-Saxon or American differs from the effete East Indian respecting veneration for snakes. He kills the snake and fosters the hog, who is decidedly the most inveterate snake-killer of the two. When the Anglo-American undertakes the settlement of a new country, he wants three things above nil others : An axe, a rifle, and a hog. If he chances vo go into the wilderness alone, however, the hog soon follows as an inevitable consequence. Just in proportion as the hog multiplies and increases in a newly-settled country, in the same ratio do serpents and poisonous reptiles disappear. It is not meant to be implied that any such motive as snake-killing enters into the calculations of the frontiersman in raising hogs. In general, he does not give the snakes that may infest his neighborhood a thought. He kills them when they nnmfi in his wav. and forcets them. while his tail, slightly erected ana tremulous with nervous energy, gave forth from the tapering rattle at its extremity that peculiar, sharp, ringing sound a person never forgets who has heard it once. The sow, with bristles erect and tusks bare, circled round the snake, gnashing her teeth, grunting and snarling at him with rage. She showed game, but nothing like the nerve of her sinewy antagonist. The sow made divers demonstrations or feintsj to which the snake responded by striking from half-coil, but each time instantly recovering himself. At length, the sow coming within his reach, the snake made a desperate spring of his entire length, fastening his fangs in her fore leg as she sprang away from him. Tho sow ga ve an agonized squeal, but quickl disengaged herself, and before the snake could recover his coil her foot was on his neck, and in another instant she had snapped off his head. A Valuable Religious Work. The great want of the day has been a popular religious work, suited to the comprehension of the masses, which should occupy the broad ground of Orthodox Christianity, and carefully avoid all sectarian issues. This want has been supplied in the work which the National Publishing Co. of Philadelphia, have just issued, entitled "The Light in the East." It is a handsome octove volume, of 850 pages, illustrated with over 200 tine engravings, by the best artists of England and America. The title of the book has Ween well chosen ; since the volume contains a clear and comprehensive condensation - ? t nil 1 1 01 All tile Diesseu ngni unit huh uuwueu upon us from the East. The basis of the work is Fleetwood's Life of Christ, that exquisite production of one of the most brilliant divines of the last century. It tells the story of the Redeemer's life and sufferings, with simple eloquence and fervor, and is so conservative in its spirit, that men of all denominations have united in cordially endorsing it. Following the Life of Christ we have brief, but comprehensive biographies of the Apostles, the Prophets, the Martyrs, and the principal Holy Men and Women of the Jewish dispensation and the early church. They are admirably written, and contain a vast amount of entertaining and instructive reading covering all the ground from St. John to the Reformation. Added to these is a history of the Jews, embracing the entire narrative of the Scriptures, and extending it down to the begiuningof the present century. This constitutes a very attractive feature of the book, and will be eagerly read by all. There is nothing so interesting or thrilling in all the range of romance as the history of the chosen people of God. Then follows a series of sketches of the principal religious denominations of the world, in all ages, which is full of instruction nnd valuable for reference. The book closes w'th a Chronological table, by means of which the render is enabled to follow the imurress of the Gentile world, whilst Israel was working out her destiny. Thus we have in this splendid volume a complete nml comprehensive library of religious literature. The Editor has included in it all that it is essential for a Christian to know, and much that is pleasant to read of. The book is decidedly the most attractive and useful volume of its kind that we have seen, and is sure to commend itself to every reader. It should have a pl^ce in every Christian household, for it is a summary of the labors and researches of the i most learned Biblical students of the day ; such men as Dr. William Smith, Dean Alford, Dr. Bevan, the Bishop of Ely, Dean Millman, Dr. Browne, Sir James Ferguson, Lord Arthur Hervey 1 aid others, on whom the editor tells us i ho has drawn freely for his materials. ' Altogether it is the most thorough and complete book of the day, and will doubtless meet with a rapid sale. The i Publishers have placed it at such a low ' price that it is within the reach of every i one. The work is for sale by subscripi tion only, and the publishers want agents in every oounty. National Publishing t Co., Publishers, Philadelphia, Pa.? I Com, The hog does the most of tliat sort of work. He is a most industrious forager, always rooting around in quest of samething to eat. In his incessant search for provender he oftimes disturbs the snake in his lair, who as a rule wotuu prefer to be left alone; but the hog won't let him alone, but snaps him between* his teeth, crushes, and devours him. These are also active enemies of the snake to be found among the things that arefcrce natures, such as the deer, the elk, etc., which kill by crushing him beneath their sharp hoofs. But these animals only destroy the snake when he comes in their way. The hog goes at him with the two-fold incentive of destroying an enemy and devouring hi*. The result is the snakes give up the contest after a while and glide off to some rocky fastness or impenetrable fen. The hog is almost impervious to the bite of the most deadly serpent. Like the hero of Greek fable he has but one assailable spot, which lies, not in his heel, but in his neck. If the snake chances to strike him on the main artery, where it passes through the neck near the skin, the hog dies. If he strikes him at any other point the wound amounts to no more than the prick of a pin would, the virus taking no effect whatever. The quadruped seems to be aware of this one danger, and guards against it with the skill of a veteran warrior. The writer once witnessed a combat between a sow and a rattlesnake of the largest kind, his attention being attracted to the scene by the angry screams of the hog. The snake lay in coil beneath a spreading live oak. The broad, combative head was raised rigidly about six inches over his coiled body, his eyes, bright as diamonds, flashing fury, and his forked tongue darting defiance at his enemy. Every muscle, now in tension, could be traced beneath his skin, Life in the Indian Territory. Manners and superstitions in the Indian Territory are, in many respects, still thoroughly Indian. Hospitality is unbounded, and as soon as an Iudian of wealth and station takes a wife, all her relatives, even the most distant, come to live on his estate, and remain forever, or until they have impoverished him. The tyranny of mothers-in-law in the Tetritory is something frightful to contemplate. One Indian gave as his reason for not wishing to get rich, the torments which his relatives, in case he married, would cause him. Food is simple throughout all the nations. Corn, ground with mortar and pestle, furnishes the material for bread ; a few vegetables are grown ; and game, hogs, and cattle are abundant. The hog of the Indian Territory is r singular animal. Having run wild all his lifej he is as distinguished for thinness as are his brethren of civilization for corpulence, and his back well merits the epithet of razor-edge applied to it. Stock feeds itself, winter and summer, and there is rarely a season when it is necessary to put up any hay. In the winter of 1871 grass was green up to the middle of ? 1 'i 1-1 uecemner aiong uie Arniui^tm uunvm. Marriage is gradually becoming an institution among all the tribes, the efforts of the missionaries tending to encourage it; but. heretofore men and women have simply chosen each other as companions, and have lived together and reared families. Usually a young rann who has become enamored of a raniden, ingratiates himself with her brother, or with a near male relative, and the latter intercedes with the father. If the father considers the suitor favorably, he puts him on probation, and at the ena of a certain term receives him, and presents him to the daughter as her future husband. The family relation seems much respected, and is guarded against disorganization by many excellent laws. Adulteration op Food.?A case has recently been decided in England which shows at onde the existence of extended adulteration of food, and that the courts are prepared to repress it, and punish it if possible. A tradesman was sued for having sold to the plaintiff as butter a compound of lard, dripping fat, palm oil, and oil from certain seeds." He had the coolness to plead that ho did not represent the article to be pure, but the court said that when, on being asked for butter, a tradesman handed an article across the counter, he thereby represented that the article was butter, and not a mixture of the horrible ingredients mentioned in the cose. The case was decided on appeal for the plaintiff. A Physician who Healed Himself. ?If a railroad director wore l->?h??d to every locomotive, there wouiu be fewer railroad accidents, and if doctors had to take their own physic before administering it to their patienis, fewer people would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph Walker, of California, took this course when he first compounded the famous Vineerar Bitters, which now ranks as an in estimable household remedy in all parts of the United States. He healed himself with this specific before he offered it to the world. He introduced it with a simple statement of the manner in which he had discovered its vegetable ingredient# and been cured, while wandering, sick and poor, among the California tribes. He stated what the preparation had done for himself, and a few sufferers from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and many other prevalent disorders, believed him, tried the new restorative, and were more than satisfied with the results. In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention the fact as an evidence that in this age oi intelligence and inquiry, nothing that J is really valuable to mankind can prove I a pecuniary failure?even though it may lack the help of capital, and have to tight its way against powerful opposing interests. Within two or three months after its introduction, the article became self-supporting, and it now yields a magnificent annual revenue.? Com.
