FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Brosonuble Ftirnt Ilinta.
Fertilizers?Where the soil has not
been well dressed with rich, rotted
manure, some active fertilizer will be
useful. Now that we can procure
guano guaranteed as to quality, we
would choose this lor fall use before
any other purchased fertilizer. Superphosphate
is generally most effective
when used in the spring. One hundred
and tifty pounds of guano, costing about
$4.50 per acre, would make a good dressing,
to be harrowed in before sowing, or
with the seed if if is sown broadcast.
Surface Draining.?When they are
necessary, surface drains should be made
as soon as the fields are sown, and not
left until fall raius have come. Generally,
to clear out the dead furrows on the
higher parts of the field, and to make
outlets from the lower parts, where surface
water might accumulate, will be
anffirtiAnt.
Grass Seed.?Timothy or orchard
grass are better to be sown as soon as
the wheat is drilled or covered, than in
the spring. A peck of the former, or
six pecks of the latter, is not too much
if the grass alone is to be sown. If
clover is to be sown in the spring, four
to six quarts of the former, or a bushel
of the latter, would bo a proper quantity
per acre.
Grasslands.?Meadows and pastures
may be top dressed with advantage at
any spare time during the month.
Coarse manure had better be left in the
yard to rot, but if any well-rotted
manue is on hand, it may be evenly
spread, and the lumps broken by drawing
a dull harrow or a log clod crusher
over it.
Clover Seed.?The high price of
clover seed makes it of advantage to save
all that can be gathered. Five bushels
of clover seed per acre may be saved, if
it is made an object to do it. This is
worth as much as an average crop of
hay. The ground is not exhausted by it.
By attaching a sheet iron apron behind
the cutter- bar, so that the rear part
drags upon the ground, the heads may
be gathered and raked into heaps by a
boy following the machine. As the
stalks are of little account for fodder,
the clover may bo exposed to the rain
auu wind without damage, and with advantage,
as the seed will hull out better
for it. It may bo raked up when perfectly
dry, and put under cover to be
thrashed in the winter. It is difficult to
keep it dry by any way of stacking it
out of doors.
Cutting Corn.?The value of cornstalks
for fodder is too often lost sight
tn cnrro fv?Q fn/l/lnr QC
VX 1X1 liai?DJHUg. vuv 4UU?V?
much as possible, the c op should be
harvested as soon as the corn is glazed.
After that nothing is gained by letting
the crop stand, but raueh loss is risked
by reason of storms or frosts. When
the whole stalks are not cut, but
only the tops above the ears, the fodder
may be gathered soon after the 5rst of
the month. Binding in small sheaves
is a good plan.
Sowing Corn Stubble.?Where the
practice of sowing the corn stubble with
wheat prevails, the unsightly method of
leaving the strips upon which the corn
has beeu shocked unsown, should be
avoidsd, both on account of its ill appearance
and its want of economy. A
considerable amount of ground is wasted
and weeds are encouraged. It is hot
much trouble to haul oil the shocks and
set them up in some place where the
com can be husked conveniently, and
what trouble thero is in it is well repaid.
Dried Tomatoes.
Housekeepers in the country, who
have many tomatoes and few cans, can
easily preserve a largo quantity of this
very easily raised fruit by drying it.
This method requires little outlay, and
comparatively little trcable. Scald and
peel the tomatoes, as for canting. Boil
them slowly in a porcelain kettle or
store jar until the original quantity is
reduced one half. Then season them in
the proportion of a teaspoonful of salt
and half a cupful sugar to a gallon of
stewed tomatoes. Spread on the plates
and dry quickly, without scorching. As
the moisture dries away aud the stewed
fruit takes shape, scrape it up so that
both sides may dry, and let the contents
of several plates, heaped up lightly,
stand in bright sunshine a little while
before putting away. Store in bag3 and
keep dry.
When wanted for use, put a small
quantity soaking in considerable water
several hours, or over night. Stew in
the same water lone: aud slowly?three
or four hours?keeping boiling water at
hand to add if it grow3 thick, and so is
in danger of burning. It should be
quite thin when done, and may be
thickened with bread crumbs, and seasoned
with a little sugar, salt, and butter?of
course tomatoes should not be
made sweet.
A Plea for the Crow.
The crow is quite as fond of bugs and
worms and little held mice and young
snakes as he is of the farmer's corn. He
is a good policeman about the farmhouse
and drives away the hawk, who
cau do twice the amount of mischief he
is guilty of. Ho hunts the grassfields
and pulls out the caterpillars and all
manner of pests, and probably saves
many other crops, if he is hard on the i
corn. A gentleman had a tame crow who ;
trotted out after him as he went out to I
wage his annual war on the squash I
bugs. His sablo attendant put his head ;
on one side and watched him for a few I
minutes, as if to see how he did it. j
Comprehending the business at last, he !
went for those bugs with a will, and i
cleared the patch in fine style. He took
it for a business the remainer of the season,
insuring a fine crop.
A Remedy for Ivy Polton.
MaDy people become poisoned either
UJ UaiiUJlLI^ UI rA^JOUiCJ IV ?/\SlDUU A* J. |
Generally ail sorts of remedies are tried
with little immediate effect, and the
poison is slightly thrown off by the process
of nature. There is, however, a I
remedy which is vouched for by a cor- j
respondent of an agricultural paper as a 1
sure and speedy cure. The agent is
common lime, a small piece of which
should be dissolved in water, and the
parts affected bathed with the water.
This remedy has been tried with entire
success, the application of the lime
water affording immediate relief. The
remedy is simple, and should be widely
known.
Farmers autl Rheumatism.
? - Why are farmers so liable to rheumatism
? Because they wear wet clothing,
heat and suddenly chill the body, overeat
after very hard work, and because
they do not keep the skin in a clean, j
" igorous and healthy coudition. If !
farmers would avoid suddenly cooling
the body after hard exercise, if they
would be careful not to go with wet
clothing and wet feet, and if they would
nr>t over-eat, when in nn exhausted con- j
ditien, and bathe daily, using much fric- <
tion, they would have less rheumatism, j
The same rule applies to others than !
farmers.
THE HARD TIMES.
How They Affect the Poor In the Larger
I'ltte*.
Owing to the extraordinary run upon
the pawnbrokers for lo?ns, the money
lenders have not only been compelled to
reduce the amount of the loans on articles
taken, but have placed a limit to the
accommodation. Inside of every pawn
shop in town now hangs a sign : "Not
more than $25 loaned on any article."
4 What is that for ?" said a New York
Sun reporter to Uncle Simpson, pointing
to the sign.
" That means just what it soys. We
couldn't let people have all the money
they want. Why, we would need more
than there is in the United States treas
U.I J.
" How much money hive vou loaned
out?"
" I supposo the firm has out $250,000
and sometime8 more than that; money
comes in and goes out all the time. We
are not making a great deal. In fact,
things have been so dull lately that the
sales of goods unredeemed have, in
many instances, not realized the amount
of tho original loans. There is such a
lot of old truck comes in that really
ain't worth anything."
Tho clerks said that they had not
known snch a demand for money in
years. The poor were parting with
everything they had, and they were
compelled to stop loaning on many articles
which in ordinary times they wonld
receive.
On the extreme east and west sides
the pawnbrokers have done a tremendous
business. At one establishment in Eighth
avenue five clerks are engaged from
seven o'clock a. m. to eight p. m., taking
in goods. The building, of five storit s,
ia packed from cellar to garret. Rooms
are devoted to special articles. All the
dresses?each day's collection by itself
?are kept in a separate apartment, and
the silks, meriuos, etc, classified so that
they can be readily found. They had
on Land over a thousand dresses, varying
iu value from fifty cents to 8150
each. Iu one room on the third floor
the racks around the walls were filled
with large, square packages, covered
with canvass.
" What are those ?" asked the reporter.
" Them's family Bibles, and very fine
editions, too, most of them," said the
clerk, uncovering one, and sbowiug the
ornamental binding and gilt edges.
"Wo loan from 83 to $8 apiece on
them. There are over 143, and som6
of them have been there for a very long
time. People will do without a Bible
easily when they are hungry, but don't
like to lose the book3 altogether, so they
pay the interest and keep them here.
There are a great many of them containing
family pedigrees, marriages and
.1 /\? tw/wfK on mnnU V\n f
Utfttms. Xilt-Y am V nviw w rnuvu, tjixv
the people who pawn them generally
take them out before the end of the
year."
The room adjoining was filled with
carpenters' tools; saws hung around the
walls, and piles of mortise chisels,
planes, stocks and center bits lay piled
up on the floor, each article bearing a
ticket upon it.
" Yon.see," said the clerk, 44 the workingmen
ain't had anything to do, and
then they live as long as they can upon
their tools. We ain't takin' any more
of the3e (kicking against a quantity of
trowels used by bricklayers), wo shut
down on them. They ain't worth anything
much, and we are getting such a
lot of tools. If we had taken all the
old buck saws and plaues and trowels
that have been offered we would havo
had the building filled."
44 You have a great many flat irons."
44 Yes ; but wo have shut down on flat
irons. We used to give three cents a
pound for them, but we had to stop it.
They are euch a bother to handle, and
they ain't worth anything. We have
had enough flat irons come here to sink
a frigate. They really ain't worth the
storage."
The walls in most of the rooms were
covered with mirrors, good and bad, of
ail sizes and shapes. Being asked
whether mirrors had been 44 shut down "
on yet, the clerk said : 44 No ; glasses
always sell well. These second hand
dealers buy them at the sales, and we
can always get back what we lend on
them."
44 How much do you lend on them ?"
44 Well, one like this (touching a glcss
which ooked like a sheet of block tin,
y 1 - L 1 - iU.

parently rise upward after his forehead)
we give about fifty cents on. We get a,
lot like this. When people get hard up
they don't care about admiring themI
selves, and they pet rid of glasses along
j with the other luxuries."
A passage was blocked by pianoforte
makers' tools, small anvils, and clockmakers'
kits, surgical instruments,
coopers' tools, and in fact every emblem
of trade one could think of. In the win;
ter season they generally had a large
j quantity of implements offered, but
! never before had they come in such
j quantities.
Chatham, Nassau and Bleecker streets
! are studded with what are termed " diaj
mond brokes." They are simply pawn!
brokers who do* business without any
license, and without any responsibility.
While pawnbrokers, however, give a;
loan of perhaps one-third the value of a
piece of jewelry, these brokers $ivo
nearer the worth, and require payment
within a month or two. If the payment
is not made they sell the jewelry.
Thousands have been forced to pawn
their diamonds.
How to Eat an Apple.
There is no fruit more serviceable to
people than the apple, not only as a
luxury, but as a wholesome, nutritious
food. Apples contain sugar, gum,
malic acid, and some valuable mineral
matter. It is true that apples often produce
indigestion and flatulence, but
generally the cause is to be found in the
manuer in which they pre eaten. It j
may not be known, but it is true, that
an apple contains a groat quantity of
fixed air, and if eaten hastily this air
passes into the stomach with the pulp
before it is liberated. In the stomach
it becomes heated, expands, and causes
flatulence in persons with weak diges- |
tion. Such persons should choose a
fresh, mild, tart apple; with a silver
bladed knife peel off tho skin, and then I
scrape the apple to a fine pulp; now
place it in the mouth and thoroughly j
mix it with saliva before swallowing it. j
This is very important. It may be 1
placed on a thin slice of bread and eaten
with it. If it is too troublesome to !
scrape the apple, then it should be
chewed till every cell is broken down
and the air liberated. Many believe ;
apples are more wholesome if taken in
the morning. If this be true, it is only
because then the stomach is more vig-;
orous. Thousands of tho Swiss peasants
make their entire supper on apples and
bread, and thus preserve good health
aud nourish their bodies well. Physio- i
logically, the apple acts as a stomachic
by promoting digestion, and when taken '
iu the morning it becomes a laxative.
A (ireek Wedding.
A correspondent of the London
standard says: I w ts fortunate enough
j to be in Patras on the occasion of a
| Greek wedding, which is an interesting
aud|peculiar ceremony. Weddings among
| the Greeks are for the most part solemu'
ized in the evening aud at home, and
: frora the nature of the rite must be
very trying to the persons principally
! concerned. A small table is placed in I
! ?/ I
I tie center 01 ijjo ruum, uu uiio eiuc ui
which stand the bride and bridegroom,
e*eli holding a long lighted caudle, on
the opposite side the officiating priests.
Behind the former the best man takes
j his place; ho "has an important part to
till in the ceremony, and is ranked as a
relation from the time of the marriage.
| The room is of course brilliant y light!
ed, and the numerous guests throng as
| closely as they can toward the center in
j order to gain the better vitw. Many
prayers are chanted by the priests and
their assistants, unintelligible even to
the ears of a classical scholar, with the
exception of the often repeated " Kyrie
eleison," which forms so prominent a
part in almost every Greek service.
There is very elaborato ritual?the signing
bride and bridegroom on the forehead
three times with the ring, the
blessing two wreaths which are after-!
ward placed on their heads by the best
man, and at a later part of the rite inteichanged
over and over again, the drink]
ing of wine three times from the same
I cup, the kissing by both of the office
book and of the priest's hand who has
made them one, and, finally, the strangest
part of the ceremony, when the
clergy, closely followed by the bride and
bridegroom hand iD hand, the best man
and the nearest relatives of the newly
married couple make the tour of the
table three times. This is said to be a
relic of heathen days, while the drinking
of wine from the same cup has been continued
from the Jews.
When the ceremony, which lasts
three-quarters of an hour, is over, and
the youug couple have been duly kissed
aud congratulated by their assembled
friends, tbe festive part of the evening
begins. Servants appear on the scene
carrying large trays neapea witn Donlions,
sugar plums, and artificial fruit of
different sorts. These are presented to
the guests, who are expected to help
themselves liberally and to take to their
friends at home as much as they care to
carry. Cooliug drinks of various kinds
are also brought in never ending supply,
and the evening ends sometimes
with a ball, sometimes with the departure
of bride and bridegroom fcr their
own home.
Babies.
Bless their dear little hearts!?the
veriest little tyrants on earth, yet the
most abused of all humanity. From the
very first advent of baby does his reign
commence. Grandpa and graudma are
the first to give into his sovereignty,
aud become willing victims to the little
despot; then papa finds that l?e must
tread softly, with slippered feet, open
aud close doors carefully, and omit
smoking his pet cigar lest the fumes
should choke baby. He also must quietly
submit to having his eyes dug out, nose
scratched, his hair and whiskers pulled
out by the roots, all by way of amusement
of baby.
Aud as for mamma, from the first tiny J
wail to the prolonged squall, she is
equal to the emergency. She never
tires of ministering to the wants of her
little one. And how many times does
she walk the floor, with baby in her
arms, through the long hours of night,
until nerves aud back both give out in
the struggle ?
Then little two-year old Johnnie, who
heretofore has been the favorite, finds
that he must abdicate in favor of the
new arrival, even to the giving up of
the goodies and sacrificing his most
precious toys ; while sister Minnie, a
few years older, must leave her dolls
and playthings to rock the cradle.
But, after all, even a baby's life is not
all sunshine. Thej have their little
trials and troubles, all the more difficult
to bear, as they don't know why they
suffer, or the cause of the treatment
they receive. They are entirely at the
mercy of whoever has the care of them,
and sometimes?we will hope it is not
often?they are intrusted to those unworthy
the charge, who, in order to
make them of as little trouble as possible,
dose them with laudanum, under
the name of "Roothing syrups" audi

numbed and their bodies diseased, j
What wonder, then, that they grow up j
delicate, sickly men and women ?
And even when the mothers themselves
have the whole care of their children,
how many times are they rudely
awakened from a sound sleep to be exhibited
to admiring friends, who take
turns in tossing, shaking, and covering
them with kisses, until they have nearly j
frightened them to death. Then, no j
matter how cold tho weather, their little
neck and arms must be left bare, victims
of their mother's vanity.
How often their little stomachs are
overloaded until they are suffering aches
and pains which wo know not how to
alleviate. And we oftentimes deem them
cro83 babies when some refractory pin j
gets loose and is piercing and lacerating
their tender flesh, until they are nearly I
crazed in their agony. I tell you, my j
friends, that babies are martyrb as well !
as tyrants.?Ledger.

The Eastern War.
Both the Turks and the Servians, says
the New York Sun, have displayed immense
vigor, during the present war, in
keeping newspaper correspondents away
from their armies. Both sides have J
tided the world with contradictory false- j
hoods, through their official reports, j
about the operations and successes of their j
troops in the field. These reports sent |
out from Constantinople and Belgrade ;
have become the laughing stock of man
kind. Though marked with the official !
stamp in both cases, they are universal- j
ly discredited. If they had given facili- {
t'ei to impartial correspondents, instead
- - . * il- _ 1 I
of excluding tuem irom meir nnes, we
should have the truth about the progress
of the war, which thus far we have been
unable to obtain.
Life on the Earth.
Professor .P. G. Tait, of the university
of Edinburgh, in his lectures on recent '
advances in physical science, lately pub- {
lished, considers the question how long I
life has been possible on the earth. He {
concludes that ten millions of years is j
4,tho utmost that can be*allowed from
the physical point of view for all the i
changes that have taken place on the j
earth's surface since vegetable life ofj
the lowest known form was capable of i
existing there." Opposed to this is the !
view of the most eminent modern ge-1
ologi-ts, that at least three hundred j
millions of years have passed away since j
terrestrial life began.

: The Democratic convention, acting u der
misapprehensiens, put mo in nomination
for the cffice of governor of New Yoik. This
j's members would not have done if they had
known the facts regarding my health. For
many reasons I ought not to be their caudididate.
Duty demands that I should decline
the proffere i honor. While 1 am grateful for
the friendly sentiments whioh prompted their
action, my declination is coupelled by obstacles
whicn I oannot overcome. For eome
months my health has been infirm, and a re
Ceni illness uas unnuea me lur uiuum ui j.'u?fical
exertion. My own opinion, confirmed by
the judgment of my phyeiciane, convinces me
t at I am unable at this time to perform the
dities devolving upon the governor of New
York. I conld cheerfully sacrifice my own
purposes and feelings to meet the wishes of
my friends ; I would not hesitate to peril my
health to uphold those principles in which
I believe, or to promote tho public welfare;
but I feel that I should sacrifice the inheres e
of the party which placed me in nomination if
I accept its ac.iou. Even the superior stri ngth
cf the party with which I act could not elect
a ticket with the known fact that its nomineo
for governor was unequal to the performance
of the labors of that office. I could not conscientiously
enter upon them. I cannot do
my friends the wrong of placing them in false
positions by trying to do so. I therefore feel
constrained to decline the nominatior.

Wedding Cookery.
On first commencing catch a yonng
gentleman and lady. The yonng gentleman
will be best raw, and the yoimg
lady quite tender; set the gentleman at
the dinner table; take a bottle of wine,
claret is good, port is better, a little
dash of champagne will give it briskness;
let him soak in this mixture for a
couple of hours; if no sign of boiliDg
try another bottle. When getting red
in the gills take him into the drawingroom;
if in winter, set him at the fireside
by the lady, throw in a dish of
green tea, of al out three cups to each,
and let tin m simmer together; if in the
summer time, place them in a current
of air, as near the window and as much
out of sight as you can; stick the lady
all over with flowers, and place them
near the piano, and keep stirring them
till the lady sings. When you hear the
gentleman sigh, it is a good sign; as,
whether winter or summer, they are sure
to be growing warm. Then take them
onrl vmt. in a cnnipr of thfi
room on a sofa, near a chess table, if
possible; leave them together simmering
for the rest of the evening. Repeat
this for three or four times, taking care
to keep them as c^se to each other as
you can. Great care must be taken
about the degree of heat; if too much,
they will explode and fly off ; if too little,
they will turn into a jelly, or perhaps
an ice. The best heat is the
moderate, regular aud constant. The
length of time during which it is applied
must be according to circumstances.
For a gentleman and lady
under twenty-five, three months, three
weeks, or three days sometimes are sufficient;
but in every instance there must
be great precaution to avoid a broil. A
certain amount of currency put in during
cooking will have great effect iu
keeping up the heat; the dish will look
remarkably well if garnished round
with bank paper; it may be then served
up at the table, and make an excellent
meal for two. Care should be taken
that no vinegar is used, as the dish is
remarkably apt to turn 60ur.

Brooks. Me., Sept. 7, 1870.
Dear Sir?From early youth I wa? in feeble
lies I'll, iroubled with" humor in my blood,
ve-ki e-K end d* biliry of thesys?em g'er.eraily;
wc- unable to labor much, and only at some
liph: busiue *, and then on y with great
caution.
be-.en years aco, the past spring, I had a
eev? re attack of diphtheria, which left my
limbs paralyzed and useless, so I was unable
to wa'k or eveu sit up. Noticing the advert
sement of Peruvian Syrup, 1 concluded to
give it a trial, and to my great j y soon fouLd
my health improving. 1 continued the use of
the Syrup until three bottles had been used,
and was restored to complete health, and have
remained so to this day.
I attribute my piesent health entirely to the
use of Poiuviau Syrup, and hold it in high estim&iiou.
I cannot speak too highly in its
praise. I have in several cases recommended
it in cases very similar to my owu with the
same good results. Yours truly,
Charlfs E. Peabct.
The perspiration to great extent depurates
the blood, that is, it carries off its imourities.
If the cores become obstructed.
those impurities, when they do not remain
latent in the circulation, cause eruptions. The
remedy for this state of things is Glzkn's
Sulphub Soap.
Ask for Hill's Instantaneous Hair Dye. *
Missionaries and others sojourning in
foreign lands should not fail to take with them
a good supply of Johnson'$ Anodyne Liniment.
It is the most reliable medicine for all purposes
there is in the world. *
Contagious diseases, such as horse ail,
glander, etc., may be preTented by the use of
Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders. Persons
traveling with horses should take note of
this.
