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.

Hints ADont jieai.
The leg of mutton is the most profit,
able joint, containing most solid meat.
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.

A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women,
Ey R. V. Pierce, M. D.. of the World's Dispensary,
Buffalo, N. Y., author of " The
People's Common Senee Medical Adviser,"
etc.
Knowing that you are subject to a great
amour.t of suffering, that delicacy on your part
has a strohg tendency to prolong it, and the
longer it is neglected the more you have to
endure, and the more difficult of cure your
cane becomes, I, as a physician, who am daily
consulted by scores of your sex, desire to eaj
to you that i am constantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailments for
months without being benefited in the least
until they have become perfectly discouraged
and have almost made up their mind never to
take another dose of medicine, or bo tortored
by any further treatment. 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. A
harsh, irritating caustic treatment and strong
medicines will never cure you. If you would
use rational means, such as common sense
ehcrald dictate to every intelligent lady, take
snob medicine3 aa embody the very beet invig
orating tonics and nervines, oompouuded with
special reference to your delicate system. Such
a happy combination you will find in Favorite
Prescription, which has received the highest
praise from thousands of your sex. '1 hose
languid, tiresome sensations, causing you to
feel soarcely able to be on your feet or ascend
a flight of stairs ; that continual drain that is
sappiDg from your system all your former elasticity,
and driving the blood from your cheeks;
that continual strain upon your vital forces
that renders yon irritable and fretful, may all
be overcome and subdued by a perseving use
of that mavelous remedy. Irregularities and
obstructions to the proper working of your
system are relieved by this mild and safe
means, while periodical pains, the existence of
which is a sure indication of serious disease
that should not be neglected, readily yield to
it, and if its use be kept up for a reasonable
length of time, the special cause of theee pains
is permanently removed. Further light on
these subjects may be obtained from "Tho
People's Common Sense Medical Adviser,'' in
which I have devoted a large space to the consideration
of all forms of diseases peculiar to
your sex. This work will be sent poet-paid to
any address on recei t of $1.50. My Favorite
Prescription is sold by druggists. *

Dr. SCIIKNCK'S STANDARD REMEDIES
The standard remedies for all diseases of the longs are
Schxhcx's Pulmonic 8tbut, 8chxhcx's Sea win
Tonic, and Schznck's Mandraii Pells, and, If taken
before the longs are destroyed, a speedy core Is offected.
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.
