How Much Land lor a Cowl
We asked two experienced Wisconsin
dairymen: "flow many cows will a
good dairy farm of 160 acres support in
an average season, keeping besides only
the horses needed, and, perhaps, a few
hogs to use up the whey, 4c. ?
One, who has been many years in the
business?as this was in private conversation,
we do not mention names?said
that on his farm of that site, on which
were twenty acres thickly covered with
timber, and worthless for pasture, he
could keep forty. The other's estimate
was forty, also for the 160 acres. Of
course both included the use of 6uch
land as was necessary for the usual
orchard, garden, 4c., but not for the
production of anything for sale except
the products of the cow in milk, cheese,
or butter. Both of the dairymen to
whom we refer believe heartily in the
value of sowed corn, believing it a

he would want one and a half acres of
pasture for each cow, to last until after
haying. After that time he pastures
the meadows, and feeds green corn-fodder,
&c., with the usual pasturage for
each cow for the whole season, also
feeding corn-fodder in the fall. He so

Aliened New Potato Disease.
A new potato disease is described as
having made its appearanoe near Jena,
differing from the one commonly known
in its directly attacking the tubers, and
not the leaves. The tuber becomes
covered by a purplish felt, which is the
mycelium oi a fungus. The skin of the
potato is sometimes apparently not
penetrated by the mycelium, the contrary
being the fact in other cases. In
the latter event, the tuber beoomes
completely lestroyed by a cancerous
disease. The fungus belongs to the
genus Scleroticum, and, according to
Prof. Hollies, the remedy will probably
be the same as in the ordinary potato
disease?namely, the selecting of early
kindB, using onlv mineral and no animal
nor vegetable manures, and with a
careful selection of the best adapted
soil. The Rev. M. J. Berkely, the eminent
fungologist, however, has lately
announced that this is the well known
" Copper Web," which some years fci
very destructive to . asparagus, mint,
and other crops, and has been known,
to some extent, to attack the potato. It
is figured in Tulasne'a " Fungi Hypogtei,"
under the name of Rhizoctonia.
Baking Apple*.
I do not think that housekeepers have
cooked apples nearly as often as they
should. There is nothing more wholeBome
for dessert than apples baked in
various forms. They should be cored,
ppt in a dish with a little warm water,
each with a teaspoonful of sugar over
it; bake until soft, and serve cold, with
cream or good milk. Or make an apple
float, by taking a dozen tart apples,
stew and prepare them as if for sauce ;
when cold, add the whites of two eggs,
beaten ; then beat the whole until quite
stiff; having made previously a soft
custard with the yolks, using about a
pint of milk. Or make an apple pudding,
by filling the cored apple with
nutmeg, sugar and butter ; make a batter
of one egg, flour and milk, and pour
around the apples. Or pare, core and
spice say ten large tart apples ; bake
until nearly done ; put away to get cold;
then prepare icing as usual. Pour ofl
the juice, lay the icings on the tops and
sides as thickly as you can ; then return

Cure For Chicken Cholera.
Treatment, if it is to be effective, is
to be begun at an early period. Of
course, all possible sanitary measures
are to be taken. The remedies consist
of local and general stimulus, and laudanum
to soothe and to stop the discharges.
Wright recommends the following,
to be given every three hours :
Rhubarb, 5 grains ; Cayenne pepper, 2
grains ; laudanum, 10 drops. " Administering
midway between every two
doses a teaspoonful of brandy, in rather
less thun its bulk of water, with five
drops of McDougal's fluid carbolate in
each dose. Carbolic acid, in small
doses, may be substituted for the carbolate,
if not accessible." The yards
should be disinfected with carbolic acid
as a measure of prudence, and for the
same reason it is better to separate the
sick from the'well fowls, although the
disease is not proven contagious. The
suggestion of administering to all the
fowls fluid carbol^ie (or else carbolic
acid) in their Vater, and the latter cool,
is admirable.?Poultry World.
Putting it Mildly.
A correspondent of the the Herald,
and Presbytery, writing from Minnesota,
tells the following : " I have picked
up a little story which I think too good
a reproof for disturbers of the peace in
churches to be lost. A presiding elder
of the United Brethren Church was
preaching in the same neighborhood,
and was much annoyed by persons talking
and laughing. He paused, looked
at the disturbers, and said : ' I am always
afraid to reprove those who misbehave
in church. In the early part of
my ministry I made a great mistake.
As I was preaching, a young man who
sat just before me was laughing, talking,
and making uncouth grimaces. I
E a used and admistered a severe reuke.
After the close of the service
one of tfie official members came and
said to me, " Brother , you made a
great mistake. That vonug man whom
you reproved is an idiot." Since then I
navo always ueen airaia to reprove
those who misbehave in church,
lest I should repeat that mistake and
reprove another idiot.'" During the
rest of that service, at least, there was
good order.
The youngsters?we don't mean the
very little ones?will appreciate the
probable accuracy of the following incident,
seut to us by a lady in Gallipolis,
Ohio : " Not long ago our
Charlie was one of the paU bearers at a
little boy's funeral, and felt the importance
of the position. Chilk-like,
however, he could not realize the sadness
of the occasion as he started at
the appointed hour. When he came
home he said, " I and the other three
boys rode home on the hearse. Will and
I sat with the driver, Harry and Dick
got on behind, and we just come down

A Chinese Dinner*
Hang Yang, a merchant, who was a
superior man, and to whom my husband
had become quite attached (writes on
English lady from Hong Hong,) one
day invited him to call at his house,and
take a meal, a great honor, and finding
it would be agreeable, included me in
the invitation Ha sent two sedan
chairs for us. When we arrived we
were ushered into the reception-room
there were raised seats running around
the sides, of beautiful bamboo, and
many chairs standing at intervals about
the room. Elegant little tables supported
vases of beautiful porcelain, and
hideous monsters of soap-stone were in
the corners.
A profusion of bows passed, and I
was taken into an inner room, where
sat Madame Hang Yang before a little
box, filled with drawers, like the little
Chinese cabinets. She had not quite
completed her toilet arrangements, but
bowed and smiled as I entered, pointing
to a chair, and kept on with her operations,
about which there is no secrecy.
She was very good-looking, but was
paintod with the thickest wnite I had
ever seen, and had her teeth stained
black with betel-nut?as is the custom
when married. Her attendant hairdresser,
who had just finished her performance,
stood by to take the little
brushes from the hands of her mistress
and replace them in the drawers when
she had finished. Her hair was jet
black, and was very much greased, was
plaited and rolled up in masses upon
the back of her head, and stuck full of
jeweled pins and flowers made of brightcolored
paper, also silver and gold.
She wore a gay flowered robe, with
long hanging sleeves,and her arms were
adorned with bracelets of heavy gold.
As she spoke no English, and I spoke
no Chinese, we looked at each other in
a smiling fashion,nodded and bowed.
We sat together at table upon settees
of cane, and her two children were also
at table, and were as decorus in behavior
as young people of twelve and
fourteen years of age with us. First,
sweetmeats were brought; then hot
wine, in lovely tiny porcelain cups ;
then cups of larger size, with a pinch
of tea at the bottom of each,upon which
J ?LlA a.1
not water was pooreu, wuicu is me way
Chinese tea is always made ; thus one
gefe the flavor and none of the bitterness.
Then boiled rice and some kind
of food cut in mouthfuls. Chop-sticks
were laid by each plate, and I found
my husband was nearly as dexterous in
their use as his host. I labored heavily
with mine, and made many ineffectual
attempts at spearing morsels Bwimming
about in my plate, not daring to sit
quiet or decline anything, for fear of
being impolite. Little squares of softcolored
paper, edged with gilt, were
placed by each plate as napkins. Lastly,
we finished with the famous bird'snest
soup. After the dinner, towels,
dipped in hot water, were passed round
upon traya, for us to wipe . our mouths
and hands upon.
Scraps of verses and proverbs were
engraved upon the walls, and sheets of
colored paper were hung in conspicuous
positions, bearing various mottoes.
Some were interpreted to me, such as
the following :
"We can do without the world, but we
need a friend." "Great wealth comes
by destiny, moderate wealth by industry."
"Great minds have wills, others
only wishes."

Frightened to Death by Snakes.
A few days ago Western papers reported
that while a party of young persons
were enjoying a picnic, one of the
boys killed a snake and thoughtlessly
threw it around the neck of a young
lady. She was greatly frightened,
fainted, and was made quite ill. She
recovered, however, but a few days
later, unexpectedly meeting the boy in
the street, she was so shocked by the recollection
of his act that she was thrown
into convulsions and died. A somewhat
similar case is described by the Evansville
(Ind.) Journal of a recent date,
which says: " Dr. C. W. Brooks, of
Bayfield, Dl., was in town on Saturday,
and related to a gentleman here a sad
case of a young lady who lost her life
by a shock to her nerves, caused by fear
produced by finding herself in dangerous
proximity to a large rattlesnake, at
his residence, a little more than a week
ago. The doctor and his wife had gone
out to gather mulberries, leaving the
young lady at home. During their absence
she went into the lawn near the
house, and Bat under the shade of a tree.
After sitting a while she was startled,
she says, by feeling the hot breath of a
snake on her cheek. She started to her
feet and screamed frantically, her cries
reaching the ears of Mrs. Brooks, who
came home ahead of her hnsband. Mrs.
Brooks seized a gun, and hurrying to
her assistance shot the snake, which on
being measured proved to be nearly six
feet long. The young lady's fright was
so great that she was thrown into
spasms. On Tuesday she died in great
agony, defying all the medical skill that
oould be exerted in her behalf."
Hosts' Intelligence.
Hops often show great intelligence
and aptitude to learn. A forester had
a Chinese pig, which followed him like
a dog, came at call, ran up and down
stairs toad from room to room. It
learned to bow, and performed several
tricks. It was very expert in hunting
mushrooms; and when told to keep
watch, it would remain at its post
until called away. When its owner
said "I'm going to kill you," it would
lair down on its hank and stretch out its
leers.
It is said that -when Louis XL was
sick, every means -was taken to divert
the sadness of his mind, but, do what
they would, he could not be made to
laugh; at length a nobleman thought
of teaching a pig to dance,and bringing
it before his majesty.
It was not long before a pig could hop
about very well at the sound of a bagpipe
; they then dressed it with coat,
pantaloons, hat, sword, &c.; in short,
all that the court gentlemen of the
times were accustomed to wear, and
introduced it into the presence of the
king. The animal bowed, danced, and
followed all orders in the most artistic
manner, until, getting tired, it became
so awkward that the king roared with
laughter, to the delight of his courtiers,
An English gentleman carefully trained
a hog for hunting. " Slud," for sc
the hog was called, was very fond of the
chase, and was ever on the alert when
the huntsmen were preparing to start ;
but the dogs could not endure its company,
and their owner was never able
to make use of both at the same time.
"Slud" could scent a bird from a great
distance, and would dig in the ground
to show where, it had been. When the
bird hopped it followed like a dog.
Hogs have been trained for draught.
A countryman was in the habit of riding
to St. Alban's market in a small cart
drawn by four hogs ; another countryman

could carry him on his back four miles
in one hour. These facts are cited to
show that the hog is a more intelligent
animal than we give him credit for.

The Best Physician.
The celebrated Dr. Sydenham had a
patient wnom ne long prescriDea ior.
At last Sydenham acknowledged that
his skill was exhausted?that he could
not pretend to advise him any further.
" But, said he, there is Dr. Robinson,
who lives at Inverness, who is much
more skilled in complaints of this kind
than I am ; you had better consult him.
I will provide you with a letter of introduction,
and I hope you will return
much better."
The patient was a man of fortune,
and soon took the road ; but traveling
was a very different undertaking then to
what it is now, and a journey from
London to Inverness was not a trifling
one. He arrived, however, at the place
of destination; but no Dr. Robinson
was to be found, nor had anyone of that
name ever been in the town. This, of
course, enraged the gentleman very
much, and he took the road back to
London, raging, and vowing vengeance
on the doctor. On his arrival, he vented
all his rage on the latter, and abused
him for sending him on a journey of so
many miles for nothing. When his fury
was a little abated:
"Well, now," said Sydenham, "after
all, is your health any better ? "
"Better!" Baid he, "yes, sir, it is
better. I am, sir, as well as ever I was
in my life; but no thanks to you for
that."
"Well," said Sydenham, "you have
Btill reason to thank Dr. Robinson. I
wanted to send you on a journey with an
object in view. I knew it would do you
good. In going, you had Dr. Robinson
in contemplation ; and in returning,
you were equally busy in thinking of
scolding me."

was a sad stumbling block in the path
of Banyan's Christian, though it couldn't
bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize
with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always
besets us when we are asked to believe
anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently, when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that a physician
in California had compounded, from the
juices and extracts of certain herbs
found there, a medicine that cured almost
every variety of blood disease, we
were incredulous. Since then we have
had opportunities of testing the accuracy
of the report, and are free to admit
that our doubts have vanished.
Seeing what we have seen, knowing
what we know, it is impossible for us to
question the remedial properties of Dr.
Walker's Vinegar Bitters. That this

when weakened by dUeaee, oppressive h^at, excessive
labor or any other cauie, shou d be toned am.
Invigorated instead cf being subjected to the action
ofdep eting drugs, is gaining ground every day.
The introduciion of Hostetter'e Stomach Bitters
twenty years ago gave a poweiful Influence to this
common sense idea. As the extraordlnaiy efficacy
of the Great Vegetable Kestorattve became known,
multitudes of debilitated invalids turned with
loathing from the nauseoos and strength-destroying

roots, herbs aud barks placed by botanical research
at the disposal of medical sclenee. Revolutions

the Importance of assisting and reinforcing nature
in her struggles with disesse hat been more and

Dr. J. Walker's California Vinegar
Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbe found on the 'ower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mono tains of Califor- ^
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the use j
of Alcohol. The question is almost \ J
daily asked, "What :i the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vlnxcar Bitters
f" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient recovers
his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a lifo-gking principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Yineoar Bitters in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Billons
Diseases.
