A popular writer has bethought hin that the road to a revival of our national prosperity lies through the development of our agricultural resources. He sees now that every other profession is so over-crowded as to hurl, in times of scarcity, vast mobs of idle, lawless people upon the cities and towns for sup port-we say lawless because hun ger knows no law-the most law abiding people in the land become outlaws when driven to desperation by famine. "The sins of the fa thers are visited upon the chil dren." Those thrifty farmers who thought to place their sons in bet ter society than they themselves enjoyed in their youth; who thought to put their sons more surely on the road to wealth and respectability, by taking them out of the farms and putting them be hind counters, or in lawyers' and doctors' offices have now the satis faction of seeing the latter without patients and briefs, and the former without customers. Had these young men been encouraged on the farm, and furnished with land, as could have been done in most cases, many of them would to-day De prosperous farmers. The com monest observation teaches that the nation's wealth lies in its agri culture. Neglect this, and all other' industries languish or. perish. All the other inidustries are but multi plied facilities for carrying on this. -Among them all this is the only sui-e~ one, unaffected by foreign wars, unchanged by political agi tation. Prices may fluctuate, ban~ks may break, and currency fall, but - God causes the earth to yield her fruits, and he that labors will be re warded with bread. What cares the farmer for low prices, if his farm swarms with stock and his barns swell out with grain ? Low prices cannot affect him; he can afford to wait for m'mey he does not owe, and very little money will answer his purpose where food is abundant. So it is with the nation. Liet food be everywhere abugant nnid cheap, and the currency may go on contracting, but the nation ivill be in repose. The great matter which is trou bling us now, is the alarming fact that the non-producing classes have grown too great and overwhelming for the producing class. Agricul ture, therefore, should be encour agedl .by every p)ossible means, both by the national and State govern mnents. Let governments and pa rents make it as honorable to en gage in agricultural pursuits as to become a lawyer, doctor, preacher. clerk, agent, drummer, tinker and peddler. Let the young be taught the real merits of an intelligent agriculturist, and the great dis proportion between the producing end non-producing classes will be gin to diminish. The future safety of the nation against famine and consequent mob-rule demands this at our hands. *The longer we de lay, the greatcr will be the work to perform. Let the squandered mil lions by Stato and municipal gov ernments be diverted into the en couragement of agriculture. It' would accomplish wonders. AsrIEs.-Do not allow ashes of any kind to be wasted. It will pay to haul leached ashes several miles, when one has his own team and labor at fair wages. Coal ashes,' when spread around berry bushes of any sort, or around grape vines, will aid materially in produ.i- large and fai.r fruit. SITTING llENS.-It is a great mistake to suppose that a non must sit on her nest of eggs all the time, except fifteen or twenty ninutos each day, to batch her chicks. No one accustomed to the main'agermient of fowls would ever p!ace a ic-t where it would be exposed to a strong wind from any point of the compass, but the sit ting hen should be put in some kind of an inclosure, a box or bar rol at least; then the box of coal ashes (to which a handful of S .od dard's Carbolic Powder has been atdded) would be handy, so that when she comes off she need not be disturbed, but left entirely to her own instinct to determine when she shall go on again. Sit ters will almost invariably stay away fro-a their nests longer in hot weather than in cold, which shows that they know what they are about, and will bring out their chicks if left to regulate their own time. We have known hens to be off their nests four or five hours at a time, on a very hot day, without injury to the eggs; on the con trary., we feel sure of the necessity of such prolonged absence, to give the eggs a thorough airing. The shell being porous shows the ne cessity of air for incubation, and ventilation is needed where tem perature runs up to 85* and up wards, or the chicks will be feeble and liable to disease. Experience is the best teacher, and we have learned these things by experi ments in the last thirty years. [Poultry World. When stung by a bee, says an interesting article in the Gar dener's Chronicle, the first thing to do is to remove the sting from the flesh, for if left to itself it sinks deeper and deeper, all the time ejecting more and more of the venom; but, if immediately re moved, very little can have been injected beneath the skin. The next thing is not to rub or irritate the part, else the blood is put into active circulation and the poison rapidly disseminated. The venom being an acid, any alkali wil' counteract it. Hlartsborn may therefore be applied, but with care; so may liquor potasso. Thne juice exressed from moistened tobacco, too, or that of the poppy worked into the wound, is said to be effec tual. Plaintain leaves (the way bread of Chesbire and Lancashire villages), bruised and pressed on the wound are also specifics. Plain olive oil rubbed well in gives in. stant relief, and honey itself is mentioned as a cure. GRAPE PRESERVE.--Pick out the knotty and wormy grapes, take the rest, a few at a time, in a coarse sieve, working them around with the hand until the seeds are loosened, when they will drop through, leaving the skin and pulp in the sieve. Drain the juice off the seeds, and to every pound of skin, pulp and juice allow half a pound of sugar. Put all intoa preserving kettle and cook slowly for three-quarters of an hour. When done put hot into jars, cover with paper and seal up. TOMATO CA'su.-Cut the toma toes in slics, lay them in the kettle, sprinkle salt upon them, boil three-quarters of an hour, and strain through a sieve ; to six quarts of juice add two quarts of~ vinear, one ounce of cinnamon, one of cloves, one of nutmeg, and half an ounce of cayenne )pper, grounid ; then boil fifteen minutes. PoTATO SALAD.-Take a vege tabls dish of cold boiled potatoes and four good sized onions. Slice and mix well together. Heat one cup of vinegar, add one teaspoon ful of good mustard, one table spoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt, and a little pepper. Pour this over the potatoes and Onions boil ing hot, and set away to cool. A~ nice relish. CICKEN SA LA D.--Bi two chickens, bone, ehop fine ; chop as; much celery as chicken, or if you dsire, take half celery and half~ cabbage ; boil ten eggs--take the yelks only-cream them, add thr-uarters of a pound of but te, a little vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to suit your taste. PEARL CAKE.-One cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one cupful of flour, one-half cupful of corn starch, the whites of three eggs, quarter teaspoonful soda, half tespoonfu ram tartar half -iiiscellaneous.

Read the Answer It is a plant that grows in the South, and is spe cially ad'pted to the cure of diseases of that climate. It is NATURE'S OWN REMEDY, Entering at once into the blood, expelling all scrof ulous, syphilitic, and rheumatic affections. Alone, it it a searching alterative, but when combined with Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, and other herbs, it forms Dr. Tutt's Sarsaparilla and Queen's Delight, The most powerful blood purifier known to medical science for the cure of old ulcers, diseased joints, fool discharges from the ears and nostrils, abscesses, skin diseases, dropsy, kidney complaint, evil effects of secret practices, disordered liver and spleen. Its use strengthens the nervous system, imparts a fair com plexion, and builds up the body with HEALTHY, SOLID FLESH. As an antidote to syphilitic poison it is strongly recommended. Hundreds of cases of the worst type have been radically cured by it. Being purely veg etable its continued use will do no harmn. The best time to take it is during the summer and fall; and instead of debility, headache, fever and ague,.you will en'oy robust health. Sold by all druggists. Price, $i.oo. Office, 35 Murray Street, New York, BEER. The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1875, speaks as follows: "There can be no doubt of the general adulteration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced~to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, the practice is very common. How much more in this country. where there are no laws on the subject, and no officer to carefully ana lyze the products of the brewery? Some years ago, Professor Mapes, of New York, analyzed the beer- from a dozen different breweries, and all were found adulterated with no,xious substances. It is said that the sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous. Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, (dog-button, from which strychnine is ob tained,) are some of the delectable substances found in beer! These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be droned at once in one of his own vats. The British Parliament passed a law to pre vent this nefarious pusiness. T.h_e following is an extract: 'No"drhuggist, vender of or dealer in drugs, or. chemist, or any other person, shall se!l or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowing them tQ be such, or shall sell or deliver to any persou on account of,or in trust for, any such -brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquor called by the name of or sold for coloring, from whatever material the same may be made; or any mnaterinl or preparation other than mngrou~nd brown malt, for the darken ig the coior cof worts beer, or ainy molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolus indious, grains of paradise, Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any article or preparation to be used in worts beer for or as a substitute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars, such preparation, &c., shall be forfeited, and may be seized by any officer of excise, and the person so offending shall for feit five hundred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet tlle practice continues. Unless the American public are ready to admit the immaculate purity and innocence of American brewers, they ~must be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzling-some narcotic poison or damaging medicine. In view of the unpre cedeted gro.wth of' the barley crop; of the great increase of the number of malsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in every city andl almost every town on the continent, it is the dictate of sound wisdom that the attention of legis lators should be called to the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, and severe penalties should be inflicted as a preventive."

"The last edition of the United States Dis pensatory was published in 1870. Since that time not only has the growth of pharmaco logical science been veiry great, but there has also been p)romnulgated a new edition of the United States PhiarIr,ar-npc#a and a stap plement to the British Standard. The addi tions and alterations which have thus been necessitated in the first and secon1 por ions of the present volume are numerous md( important. "The advance of our knowledge of extra officinal drugs has been even more exten sive requiring the addition to the third part of the D)ispensatory of accounts of no less than ninety-eight new substances, and, as in the cases of Propylamia, Nitrite of Amiyl, tc., a complete re-writing of many of the old articles. The additions of course vary in importance, but many of them are be ieved to be of decided value. 'so care or labor has been spared to ren der the present edition equal in accuracy nd in comnpleteness to its predecessors. Gi-eat pains have been taken to omit super $tous matter and to condense the text; but the addiitions have been so numerous that the work has been augmented by about seventy pages. This increase is of course to be deprecated ; but without it one of the chief values of the book would have been impaired, and it has seemed better to lIave few pages mOo of pi-int than not to have a complete representation of the pharma ological science of the day." gi For sale by Booksellers generally, or will be sent, transportation free, upon re eipt o LI 1 NCOT T & CO,, Publishers, 715 and 717 Market Street, Philadelphia.
