Common salt is sometimes used as manure, but it is exceedingly doubtful whether it has any value as such, or any fertilizing proper ties whatever; but it is probable that it does exert some chemical effect in certain cases. It is clear that salt is not a necessary plant food. It may be found in the ash of some agricultural plants, but it is by no means nccessLry for their full growth and development. Salt is compounded of chlorine and sodium, and hence its technical name, chloride of sodium. The two elements, chlorine and sodium, are found in the ash of all plants, but in very small quantities. What the plant needs of these is abun dantly supplied in the soil. The favorable action of salt upon vegetation (if indeed it has any) is due, according to Liebig, to its power to enable the plant to assimi late the sulphur of the sulphate of lime when that is applied. The effect of salt in preserving moat is due to the fact that salt has a very strong attraction for water. It has the power of extract -ing water from all substances to which it is applied. When salt is applied to meat it extraets the water from it and ieasS it so dry that decomposition is prevented. For instance, when pork is salted and placed in a ves sel in a short time a considerable amount of water will be found in the bottom of it. All of this water has been extracted from the pork by the action of the sa3t. When salt is taken into the stomach it has the same effect. It absorbs the juices of the stomach, and when taken in much quantity, produces the most intense thirst. From these facts, which are obtaimed from the highest authorities, it would seem that salt is worth very little as a manure, and yet it has been used very extensively for that purpose. DIFFERENT CROPS REQUIRE DIF FERENT MANURES. As before observed, the different crops require different kinds of fertilizers. There are the lime,r potash and 'silica plants-all dif ferently constituted and requiring different treatment. Wheat, oats, rye and barley, the silica plants, require an ammoniated fertilizer combined with potash and phos phoric acid. Turnips, beets, pota toes and corn, the potash plants, require a snper-phosphate corn bined with potash. (lover, beans and peas, require lime combined with potash ; and tobacco, which is classed with the lime plants, requires lime, potash and~ magnesia, combined with am monia. isWhen an ammoniated fer- ~ tiizer isapplied to turnips, its am monia, which is its most costly ingredient, is in a great mneasare lost. The turnip does not need ammonia, and so with clover and peas. These get -their nitrogen from the atmosphere, and there is no necessity of supplying it to them artificially. A few thoughts touching domes tic manures, and the great impor tance of saving them: On every farm there is to be found more or less of crude mate rial, out of which a great deal of valuable manure can be made by composting and otherwise, and which is generally wasted. Since1 the very general ir.troduction of I chemical msnares, our farmers have become very negligent in1 saving their domestic manures. fr~r ~ithoimrh Domestic manures are cemplete Eertilizers. They furnish all the :onstituents of plant fool, both )rganic and inorganic, whilst the ertilizers do not. These scarcely ever supply more than four or five Df the fourteen elements needed for' the full development of the plant. It is true that generally only from two to fire need be supplied, the balance being furnished abundantly by the soil and the atmosphere. But it sometimes happens that the soil becomes exhausted of some of the inferior elements, and, in con sequence, becomes unproductive. When this happens, the farmer, in the absence of an analytical chemist, has no means of ascertaining the deficient element. But when the domestic manures are freely used, he cannot fail to supply the deficient element, because they furnish them all. Besides, it is best generally to combine the two, for both of them act better when so combined. [Maryland Farmer. GEESE.-On the advantages of keeping geese, a writer in the Maine Farmer a few years ago said: "I once knew a couple of industrious sisters, who lived near a never fail ing brook, and they generally kept through the winter thirty geese, male and female. They had erected some suitable but not expensive sheds, in which they had apartments for them to lay, sit and hatch. Their food in the winter was meal of various kinds to some extent, but principally apples and roots. In the summer they had a pasture en closed with a stone wall, which em braced the water. They kept their wings so clipped that they could not fly over such a fence. Their owners ~knew what we all know, that live geese feathers are a cash article at a fair price. They picked off their feathers three times in a season. Those thirty geese winter ed would raise seventy=five goslings, or young geese, and of course they had that number to dispose of every fa'1 or in the beginning of winter, when they are sent to market, and again picked, making four times they obtained feathers from those they wintered, and twice from tho young ones that they had killed." CoTTAGE CHEESE.-ThOe who have plenty of milk and make butter, have an abundance of sour or clab bored milk daily, clean and fresh, which is the article desired to make cottage cheese. The true way to make this sort of cheese is to skim the sour milk on the stove in a milk pan and let it gradually warm till it is lukewarm all through. Stir it occasionally to prevent its harden ing at the bottom. When it is a little warmer than new milk, and the whey begins to show clear around the curd, pour it all into a coarse, thin bag, tie it close, and hang it up to strain. Let it hang up two or three hours in a cool, shady place, then take from the bag and put the contents in a covered dish. When preparing it for a meal mix with the curd rich, sweet cream, sugar and nutmeg. Some prefer salt and pepper, b the sugar will give it the flavor of fruits or acids. his preparation of milk will often be found most salutary and whole: some for dyspeptice and weak, in Tmed stomachs. The clabber is iliso very nutritious and easily digested. GooD YEAST.-Take twelve large potatoes, wash thenm well, and put them on in a gallon of water, with handful of hops when the potatoes re nearly done. Let all boil to ~ether until the potatoes are cook ad. Take them up, peel, and mash vel; then strain the water upon ;hem, and add one teacupful of sugar white preferred), and;one of salt. 2 cupfuls of sweet yeast to start ~ermentation. Set it near the fire atil it begins to work, and then ut it into bottles. Cork, and then set them in a cool place. You should put water enough when done boiling to make a gallon of >f yeast. Do not use a particle of, our in making this yeast. It will aot bubble and ferment as much as 3mmon yeast, but it is lively nev rtheless. You must remember to ase less salt than usual in making ap the bread. Cons CAKES.--Grate half a dozen ears of green corn, stir in a cup of xilk, add flour with which yeast powder, in the proportion of tvwo ~easpoonfuls to the quart has been sifted until the whole is a thick atter. Add two or three eggs, ~vell beaten, and a pinch of salt. Ery as batter cakes, or bake in gem pans in a quick oven. A pleasant breakfast dish. . ~.

Road the Answer It is a plant that grows in the South, and is spe cially adapted 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 cotnbined 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, foul 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, impat a fair corn. plexion, and builds up the body wit 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 harm. The best time to take it is during the summer and fall; and instead of debility, headache, fever a.nd ague,.you will en'oy robust health. Sold by all druggists. Price, $i.co.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1875, spcaks as follows: "Tnere can be no doubt of the general adulteration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties arc imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a systemt of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, the practice is very common. How muchi more in this country, where there e.re no laws on the subjeci, and no officer to carefully ana lyze the piroduxcts 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 noxious 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,) mix 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 dronued at once in one of his own vats. The British Parliament passed a law to pre vent this nefarious business. The following is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, shall scll or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowing them to be such, or shall sell or deliver to any person 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 material or preparation other than unground brown malt, for the darken ig the color of worts beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolus indicus, 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 fei five hundred pounds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet the 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 cedented growth of the barley drop; of the great increase of the number of malsters and brwers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent, it is the dictate of sound wisdom that the attention of legis hators should be called to the subject of the adulterationi of our malt liquors, and severe penalties sa>unld be inflicted as a preventive."

A dressing which is at once agree able, healthy, and effectual for preserv ing the hair. Faded or gray * - hair is soon& restored to its original color, with the gloss and freshness of youthI. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldnes;s often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re store the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous an~d injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not, soil white cam bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BY Dr. 3. C.
