FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD, The Fruit Garden. Let every person who has a bit of ground plant one grapevine at least this spring, as with a little care in training and pruning for two or three years, it will seldom fail to produce an abundance of fruit. The soil for grapes should not be rich with stable manure, but use ground bones, or wood ashes. Tho first year allow only one shoot to grow, and in the fall cut this back to two or three j buds; the next season allow only two ' of these to grow. The first year a vine j bears, only allow two bunches to each shoot, as more will exhaust the vine. There are many other ways of training, and tho vino can be adapted to the locality. Dwarf trees which require any pruning should be attended to now, before the buds start; avoid cutting off any ? ai largo brancnes until June, wuen mey may be taken off with safety; cover the wounds with shellac varnish or melted grafting wax. The roots of blackberries spread so fast and far that where it is possible they should be planted in a spot a little aside from the rest of the garden, so that they will not interfere with the growth of other plants. Provide strong stakes to which to tie the canes, and do not allow them to grow more than five feet high, with lateral branches cut back to eigh teen inches. Set from six to eight feet apart, each way. Set raspberries in rows from four to six feet apart, and three to five feet in the row. One of the best ways to support them is by a strong wire stretched along the line of the row and fastened securely to well braced posts at each end; provide a support of some sort at distanoes of fifteen to twenty feet apart to keep the wire from sagging where the rows are long. As the canes grow to the top of the wire, tie them to it in fan shape, cutting them off at the height of four feet, and laterals at eighteen inches; k four canes at most to a stool, and- less even the first year, are enough, if the plants are weak. The easiest way to have a supply of strawberries is to renew the bed. Make new beds, setting the plants in rows three feet apart and one foot in the rows. In small gardens the plants may be set closer, with the runners cut off as fast as they appear; and if the soil is well enriched every year, the bed will bear abundance for four or five years.?Agriculturist. including aldeimen, for bribery, perjury, and subornation of perjury.

The neck is an extravagant joint, half the weight consisting of bone and fatThe shoulder has also much waste in bone. The breast does well for kitchen dinner, nicely stuffed; it is much cheaper than the other joints. Sirloins and ribs of meat are very extravagant joints, from the weight of bone. The roasting side of the round part of the buttock, and the part called the "topside," are the most profitable family eating. The mouse buttock is used for stewing ; shin is used for soup, or stewing. The quantity of butcher's meat consumed in a family is, on an average, three-quarters of a pound a day for each person ; but when the family consists of women and children, half a pound per dav is about the quantity consumed one with another, independent of hams, bacon," poultry, fish, and game. Meat should be wiped with a dry, clean cloth as soon as it comes from the butcher's ; fly-blows, if found in it, cut out, and in some loins the long pipe that runs by the bone should be taken out, as it soon taints; the kernels also should be removed from be< f. Never reoeive bruised joints. Meat will keep good for a long time in cold weather, and, if frozen through/may be kept for months. Frozen meat must be thawed before it is cooked by plunging it into cold water, or placing it before the fire before setting it down to roost. It will never be oressea tnrongn n tms precaution is not taken, not even when twice cooked. Pepper is a preventive of decay, in a degree ; it is well, therefore, to pepper hung joints. Powdered charcoal is still more remarkable in its effect It will not only keep the meat over which it is sprinkled good, but will remove the taint from already decaying flesh. A piece of charcoal boiled in the water with "high" meat or fowls will render it or them quite sweet. A piece of cnarooal, or powdered charcoal, should be kept in every larder. Hams, after being smoked, may be kept for any length of time packed in powdered charco&i. A Few Facie lo Raising Corn. Corn can be raised successfully throughout forty degrees each side of the equator, except on the summits of high mountains and some parts of the torrid zone. A few simple facts about its production are worth remembering. The land for corn should be plowed deep, and the earth pulverized. Start the plant as soon as the ground will permit Use none but the best seed. Ju its reproduction the flower is separated into two parts ; the tassel, the male part, at the top of the stalk, and the silk, the female flower, located intermediately on the stalk, arranged thus in nature so that the pollen from the tassel might fall upon the silking flower and make it fruitful. On isolated stalks of corn the silk receives so little of the pollen from its own tassel that but few grains come to perfection; hence the importance and necessity of having a number of stalks near by or in the same field, in order that perfect ears and a full orop may be made. Some farmers still assert that there is nothing in these facts. The roots of corn grow much faster than the stalk at first, measuring sometimes a foot long before the stem is half that length. The brace roots should not be broken in working, as they support the stalk, and when broken it makes a heavy draught on the plant to reproduce them. The distinct varieties are the white flint, the yellow flint, the gourd seed, sugar corn and pop corn. The first is regarded the best for bread, while the yellow corn is mnefr rmlrrif.ivA nnd anatppra best for stock. The Apple Tree Borer. As soon as an apple tree attains the age of two or three years the trunk, and finally all the larger branches, become literally enveloped in some kind of an adnascent fungus or foreign deposit. It is beneath these fungi, and immediately in contact with the bark, that the beetle deposits her eggs, which soon hatch and immediately commence their work of devastation. This mischief is continued from one to three years, according to the species, unless they are destroyed by man or that despised though best of farmers' friends?the sap sucker. Now, the beetle never deposits her eggs on a smooth stem or branch, but deep and securely beneath the deposits above named. Experience has convinced me, says a competent authority, that anything that will remove this deposit from the stem of the tree is equally as efficacious as | soapsuds. Indeed, all a person has to do is to examine his trees carefully in early spring, and where he finds this deposit ihe thickest, and especially when it has assumed a dark or greenish appearance, to removo it the easiest way ; he caD. A common table knife answers j a good purpose, ooarse sand paper is ex- I cellent, and a very stiff brush does the | work most efliciently; and without this j precaution it is folly to expect apples, I especially on old trees, that are worthy of the name.

They had rather die and have their sufferings ended than to live and suffer as they have. They say they are worn out by suffering, and are only made worse by treatment Of anything more discouraging we certainly cannot conceive, and were there no more successful mode of treating suoh difficulties than that the principles of which teach the reducing and depleting of the vital forces of the system, when the indications dictate a treatment directly the reverse of the ono adopted for them, their case would be deplorable indeed. Bnt, l&dy sufferers, there is a better and far more successful plan of treatment for yon; one more in harmony with the laws and requirements of your system.

To these three medicines Dr. J. EL Schenek, of Philadelphia. owes his nnrlTaled sncoess In the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lnngs; nature throws It off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter la ripe a alight oongh will throw it off; the patient oaa rest and the longs begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Scbenok's Sea Weed Tonlo Is a gentle stimulant and alterative; the alkali of whtch it Is composed mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmonlo Syrup will make good blood; then the 1 rings heal, and the patient will surely get well If care is taken to prevent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck. either personally or by letter, can do so at hia principal office, corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday. Scbenok's medicines are sold by all druggists through OU'm tae ouuuui. The Markets. SXW TOM. Beef Cattle?Prime to Extra Bullocks 18)43 12X Common to Good Texans....
