The land should be prepared in spring as for corn, and the roots placed in furrows and covered. Selling fruits by weight has been again and again recommended by horticultural societies and fruit-growers' associations, and yet the absurd practice of measuring them or selling them in barrels or crates or baskets that have no standard measurement continues. A little dry air-slacked lime, sprinkled on cattle's backs and carded 'into the hair occasionally; also sulphur, are recommended as a remedy for 1 ice. It is asserted that the best sugar factories of France are not at present in a cheerful state, there being little demand for the sugar outside ot France, which produces 200,000 tons more than she consumes. The Massachusetts Ploughman recommends sowing lucern in August. Thus it gains a good footing before winter and the succeeding season yields a large crop.

X SENATE. Petitions were presented from merchants of Chicago asking for an increase in the currency. Mr. West (Rep., La.) introduced a bill to provide for the settlement of claims of loyal pensions in the late rebellion. The Centennial question being under discus sion, Mr. Sargent said: The city of Philadelphia has appropriated 6500,000, and the State of Pennsylvania 61,000.000. 1 rivato individuals had probably subscribed as much more, and Congress was asked to appropriate 63,000,000. He offered the appropriation. Mr. Morrell, of Vt., said the Centennial should be celebrated aud an exhibition held. He hod r.o doubt it would be held. It would be discreditable to the nation if at 100 years of ago it could not afford to have an Exhibition, but it should bo national in its character. The dis.cussiou was indulged in generally by the members. Senator Ramsey, of Minn., submitted a resolution mstructing the Committee on Trans ? kaov i/v uiuav ? ^wu wi vo* age it mast be plashed and after that have annual shearings in ordei to keep the growth within bounds and oompact." The reclaimation of land and utilizing it, thus; making waste places productive, is one of the economical modes a farmer has of reducing the proportion of his taxes to production. Thousands of acres of mo6t productive lands lie idle and taxes are paid on them in almost every State, the netprodnct resulting from the reclamation of which would pay the entire taxes of the farmer. on snrf*ee manuring. A correspondent of the New York Ti ibunt, writing from Livingston county, N. Y., on experiments in manuring, Bays : About niue years ago I became the owner of a small farm near where I reside, and in one of the fields I discovered a side hill, or knoll, unproductive. After plowing it for wheat, I scattered over it a thin coat of manure, then harrowed it, and drilled in the wheat. The oonsequence was, that the wheat was there as stout as it could stand. The clover that followed waa just the same, and to this day, though no manure has been added, it is the most productive part of the field. I have tried it in other places with the same results. This year, though we have not half a crop of wheat, wherever surface manure has been spread, there is a full crop. Hay has dwindled down to about onefourth of the usual crop, but where I scattered manure over the surface, during the winter, no better or abundant rrvooa avttv ivrfltp Ta ilriu tiynpriatlpa t will add, that I have several times plowed under manure for corn and beets, but have never discovered any effeot, fxcept to get it out of sight. This is the experience of a farmer lawyer. How to Make Grafting Wax. Thomas Mattcson, McKean county, Penn., writes : " Take two parts mutton tallow, three parts beeswax ; melt the tallow first, and put the beeswax and resin into it. When it is all melted, stir it all up and pour it into oold water and work it over. If there are lumps in it, mash them with your thumb and finger. The longer you work it the more sticky it grows. 'When it begins to stick to your hands put some tallow on them. Work it till it is all sticky as you want it. Put in a tin pan with a cover to it, and it will keep for a number of years. I think it is as good as sticking salve to put on any sores. Some people put in more tallow than they put in resin or beeswax, to make it softer to work in oold weather ; bnt if there is too much tallow in it, it will melt and run out in warm weather. I have had about forty years' experience in grafting, and usea a number of sorts of grafting wax. Some people put in hot water, and make more trouble than there is need of. I wet my finger with my tongue, and don't find any cnincuiiy in puuing rne wax on me ena of the graft." Compokitlon of 5111k. Prosessor Boedeker has analyzed the milk of a healthy cow at various times of the day, with the view of determining the changes in the relative amount of its constituents. He found that the solids of the evening's milk (13 per oent.) exceeded those of the morniDg's milk (1") per cent.) while the water contained in the fluid was diminished from 89 to 8G per cent. The fatty matters gradually increaso as the day progresses ; in the morning they amount to 2.17 per cent., at noon to 2.63 per cent., and in the evening to 5.42 per cent.; so that if 16 ounces of morning's milk will yield nearly half an ounce of butter, about double this quantity can be obtained from the evening's milk. Tho casein is also iucreased in the evening's milk from 2.24 to 2.70 per cent.; but the albumen is diminished from 0.44 per cent, to 0.31 per cent. Sugar is least abundant at midnight (4.19 per cent.) and most plentiful at noon (4.72 per cent.) Tho percentage?of the salts undergoes almost no change at any timo j of the day. Grafting the Grape Viae. Mr. Johnson, a British cultivator of the vine, has come to the conclusion, j after trying all other methods known, \ V> r? f thowA io nA KoHnp tno41tni1 fnr nrr n ft. liictv IUV.1U 10 14V UCVVV4 UJCIUVVI 4VA glUIV | ing vines than the one be very properly ! calls dove-tail grafting. The stock1 should be from one to three years old. i and tho scion inserted opposite a bud j or spur. Having selected the stock, j the wood should be cut out of it about' two iucnes in length, to a depth equal to the thickness cf tho scion, in the same manner dove-tailing is done by cabinet makers. Tho scion is then ! divided in the middle, and fitted neatly ir.to the stock with the bud midway from either end, and then firmly tied with matting and clawed over,*as in other methods of grafting, leaving a small hole for the growth of tho bud. Damp moss is tied over tho hole, and after the bnd starts, the shoot opposite is shortened in and entirely removed. ! The grafting should be done before tho sap is in motion. Clover. Recently, in feeding our cows, we came upon a part of the mow where wo had put away several tons of clover from a newly-seeded meadow. We have now fed" this exclusively for two weeks, and although the hay fed before it was very good (mostly red-top) the milk of the whole herd hus increased fully tittecn per cent. Comment is unnecessary. A Cambridge professor has decided that a human being couldn't live a minute in the moon, and we therefore warn people to keep away from there. portation Iloutes to the Seaboard to consider and report upon the expediency of improving water routes and railway communications from the Mississippi Valley to the seaboard, and to regulate commerce among the States by cheapening transportation between the East and West. The liquor traffic bill was discussed at somo length by Messrs. Conkling, Howe, and Carpenter. Tho Louisiana question was opened in the Senate by a lengthy discussion and much feeling. Carpenter, of Wis., spoke against the Kellogg government. The Centennial bill being under discussion. Mr.Frelinghnysen moved to amend a motion Co refer so as to instruct the committee to report a bill making an appropriation of a sufficient amount of money, not to exceed 43,000,000, to defray the expenses of the American Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. The Chaplain of tho Senate, In an opening prayer, said : " Oh Lord, our God, we come in this" place to deplore boforo Thee the spirit of lying which is abroad, and wo beseech Thee to rebuke the giant demon of slander that stalks forth casting upon all the earth a fearful shadow; paralyze the hand that writes tho willful detraction ; palsy the tongue that utters wanton calumny?the things which teud to undermine all confidence in the good and to give a malignant power to all the bad elements for the demoralization and destruction of human society. Let thy flaming spirit take vangeanco upon the false"accuser and consume this spirit of ruin from all tho land. This wo ask in the name and for the sake of Him who was truth itseif." Citizens of New York city representing $500,000,000 of capital in a petition to tho Senate, asked Congress to put an immediate stop to any further issue of greenbacks by the Secretary of the Treasury, and cause the retirement at once of tho * legal-tender reserve issued. The usual fortification bills were reported. The bill iu reference to the centennial exhibition was taken up, the pending question beiug an amendment by Mr. Morrill, or Vermont, making the exhibition national in its character, instead of international. Sherman, of Ohio, Stewart, of Nevada, spoke in favor of the Philadelphia Centennial, urging that it be made a national and not a local or private affair. Mr. Conklitig, of N. Y., introduced a bill to provide for deductions from the terms of United States prisoners, etc. It authorizes deductions of five days from each mouth in which no charges of misconduct shall have been sustained against them, and provides for the appointment by the President of a commissioner to make inquiry into the condition and treatment of United States prisoners wherever they may be confined. The Senato resumed the consideration of the Liquor bill, the pending question being on the amendment of Mr. Bayard, providing that all members of the Commission should not be in fafbr of nrohibitation legislation or total abstinence. The amendment was adopted?23 to 22. Mr. Scott, of Pa., presented the resolutions of tne Philadelphia Board of Trade, asaing Congress to revise and amend the customs and revenue laws, so that honest importers may not be injured by the action of men who inform and put importers to unnecessary trouble-, when there is no occasion for it. Tlio Senate resumed the consideration of the Centennial bill, the pending question being on Mr. Freliughuysen's amendment, instructing the Committee on Appropriations to report in favor of appropriating a sum of monoy not to exceed ?3,000,000 to defray tlio expenses of the exhibition, it was rejected by a vote of 33 nays to 17 yeas. The bill was then referred to the Committee on Appropriations without a division. As amended and referred, the bill is as follows : Be it enacted, <?c., That the President bo requested to extend a respectful and cordial invitation to the Governors of each one of the United States to bo represented and to take part in the National Exhibition to be held , at I'liuaueipma uuaer tue auspices 01 me Government of the Uuited 8tatea in the year 1S7G. HOUSE. Mr. Rcofield, of Penn.. called the attention of tho House to the fact that there wcro among the employees of the House In the folding room eleven wounded soldiers, eignt of whom 1 hail lost a leg or an arm, tho three others had suffered injuries equivalent to law ; and ho offered a resolution directing the Doorkeeper to retaiu those men in case of a reduction of the force of employees. Ho stated that there were now sixty-six employees in the folding room. The House refused by a vote of 68 to 90. Mr. Schumakcr, of N. Y., moved to suspend 1 the rules and pass a bill extending to the unnaturalized enlisted men of the navy and marine corps the same privilego as to obtaining citizenship as unnaturalized enlisted men of the army now have. After some informal discussion the motion was agreed to and the bill passed. Mr. E. II. Roberts addressed the House in reply to Mr. Dawes's recent speech; he asserted that the condition of the country, as regards tho revenues, was improving, and that Congress was doing its duty in enforcing retrenchment. Mr. Potter, of N. Y., presented the memorial of merchants, bankers, officers of banks, insurance companies, and business men in New York city, representing an aggregate capital of over J470,009,000, against any increase of currency by the Government. A bill was passed to prevent tho extermination of fur-bearing animals in Alaska. Mr. Shauks, of Ind., called up his motion to reconsider tho vote rejecting tho bill for the free distribution of public documents, etc. Mr. Colton, of Iowa, moved to table tho mo UOI1.

The bill provides ! that there shall be appointed by tho President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. a commission of iivo persons, neither of whom shall bo tho holder of any ollico of profit or trust in the general or State Government. It shall be their duty to investigate tho alcoholic arid fermented liquor traffic ami manufacture. having special referenco to revenue and taxation, distinguishing as far as possible in tho conclusions thov arrive at between the effects produced by tho use of distilled or spirit- i ous as distinguished from the use of fermented or malt liquors, in their economic, criminal. moral and scientific aspects in connection with j pauperism, crime, vice, tho public health and ' tho general w elfare of the people; also to in- j quire ami take testimony as to tho practical're- j suits of license and restrictive legislation for j tho prevention of intemperance in the several States and tho effect produced by such legislation upon tho consumption of distilled or spirituous liquors, and of fermented or malt liquors, and also ascertain whether tho evil of drunk eunesa lias been increased or decreased mere- i by. whether the uso of opium as a stimulant ami substitute for alcoholic drink has become I inoro general in consequence of i nch legisla- I tion. and whether the public morals have been ' improved thereby.

Mr. Lntler, of Mass., presented a resolution of the Massachusetts Legislature rescinding i tho resolution of ceuBure against Senator j Sumner. Mr. Conger, of Mich., having introduced a | bill to change the name of the ship "William M. Tweed" to "Newburgh," Mr. O. F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, suggested that tho House would like to hear from Mr. Cox on that subject. Mr. Cox said that he had no porsonal allusion to make. Mr. Tweed -was no longer an influence in New Xork politic*. He was ae extinct aa the Dodo. [Laughter.] Hie friend from Michigan (Mr. Conger) knew that bird. Parties were soinetlmos killed by one man. just as one hornet, if he felt good, could break up a camp meeting. Origin of tho Dollar Mark. A writer in the Atlantic Monthly has a curious paper on the origin of the dollar symbol (8). In brief, his theory is that the two parallel upright marks may be traced back to the pillars of Hercules, and tho S-liko figure is the scroll entwined around them. According to tradition, when the Tyrian colony landed on the Atlantic coast of Spain, and founded the ancient city of Gades, now Cadiz, Melcarthus, the leader of the expedition, set up two stone pillars as memorials, over which was built a temple of Hercules. As the temple increased in wealth, the stone pillars were replaced by others, made oi an anoy 01 goia anu ?uycr, and these two pillars became, in time, the emblem of the city, as a horse's head became that of Carthage. Centuries later, when Charles V. became Emperor of Germany, he adopted a new coat of arms, in which the pillars of Gades or Cadiz, occupied a prominent position in the device. Hence, when a new coin, the colonnato, was strnck at the Imperial mint, it bore the new device?two pillars, with a scroll entwined around them. This coin became a standard of valne in the Mediterranean, and the pillars and scroll became its accepted symbol in writing. The two horizontal bars which cross the symbol of the English pound sterling are also thought to have a similar origin. In the same paper the symbolic origin of the pillars of Hercules is traced far back into the remoto era prior to the dispersion of the human race from its Asiatic birthplace. They are identified with the household pillars of the Scandinavians, and the idea from which the concrete embodiments spring is to be found alike in the Sanskrit Vedas and in the glowing imagery of the Hebrew poets. They are the symbols of day and night, or light and darkness, which, to the dawning intelligence of the Arian races, were evidences of the Omnipotent, and, to the Jewish patriarchs, the work of a revealed Creator. A Foggy Day. The foggy mornings of late reminds us of a story related about old Mr. Spraker. We, of course, cannot vouch for the truth of it, but merely give it as we have heard it. At one time the old gentleman kept a taveren at the " Riverside House," now the residence of his son, Hon. Joseph Spraker. One very fog8y morning a travelling guest remarked to Mr. Spraker, that the fog was very thick along the vulley in the morning. The old gentleman replied,? " Yah, but we do not mind it, as wo have a fashion of drivine it away." The traveller then said:? " Pray, Mr. Spraker, t?ll us how this is done." Mr. Spraker replied,? " Well, we gets up in the morning and takes a dram and goes out and feed the horses, then we come in and take another dram and goes out and feeds the pigs, then we come in and take another dram and goes out again and feeds the cows, and we keep on doing so nntil the fog goes away." The stranger then asked Mr. Spraker how many drams it took to drive the fog away; and the old gentleman said at "onetime it took about a dozen, but that was a very foggy morning." Brilliant Snceess. It is permitted to few men or companies to achieve acknowledged superiority in any important position or business. The present generation has witnessed stupendous rivalry in several branches of industry, and notably the Sewing Machine business. Amid a multitude of competitors, steadily and surely the Wheeler A Wilson Company held their way from the beginning, upon fixed and honorable principles. Long since, their leading position in America was established. Abroad, at London, in 1862, they won the highest premiums ; nt Paris, in 1867, they distanced eighty-two competitors, and were awarded the highest premium, the only Gold Medal for Sewing Machines exhibited ; and lastly, amid unparalleled competition, followed the splendid triumphs at Vienna, noted in our advertising columns. * Make the Home Happy. It is practicable to make homo bo delightful that children shall have no disposition to wander from it or prefer any other place. It is possible to make it so attractive that it shall not only firmly hold its own loved ones, but shall draw others into its cheerful circle. Let the house, all day long, be the scene of pleasant looks, pleasant words, kind and affectionate acts.- Let the table be the happy meeting-place of a merry group, and not a dull board, where a silent if not a snllen company of animals come to feed. Let the meal bo the time when a cheerful laugh is heard and good things are said. Let the sitting-room at evening be the place where a smiling company settle themselves to bookH or games tiil the round of good-night kisses is in order. Let there be some music in the household? music not kept like silks and satins to show to company, but music in which father and mother and brother and sister join. Let your companions be welcomed and made for the time part of the group, so that daughters shall not deem jt necessary to seek the obscurity of the back parlors with intimate friends, or to drive father and mothor* to distant apartments. In a word, let the house bo surrounded by an air of cozy and cheerful good will; then children need not be exhorted to love it? yon will not be able to tempt them away from it. Strange Case. Apoor woman, a rustic in a French village, being somewhat deficient as to intellect, her family applied to a quack for advice, and received instructions to administer cold 3hower-baths. This apparently harmless prescription was carried out in a very remarkable manner. They tied the patient to a tree, and her husband, climbing up into it with a large watering-pot from his garden. calmly and conscientiously drenched his poor wife with its icy contents. The consequence of this performance, which took place in open day, close to the high road from Paris to Toulouse, was the death next day of the thoroughly chilled patient. The Whisky War. Recalls to Date. Returns from 55 cities, towns and villages in Ohio give statistics of the results of the women's temperance movement. In the 55 places from which reports are received, 330 drinking places have ceased the sale of liquor. Of this number 255 were saloons and 91 drug stores, where liquors were sold to tipplers. Over 15,000 persons have signed the total abstinence pledges. On the other hand, in the same places 319 drinking places are open, but their business has been reduced if not destroyed. In the few Indiana towns heard from, nine saloons and nine drug stores have ceased to sell, and 1,283 persons have signed the pledge. In the aggregate 254 saloons and 100 drug stores are closed, and the pledge has 16,000 signatures. It is safe to place the number of liquor stores closed at 150, and the signatures to the pledge at 20,000. In the 61 towns heard from 612 saloons and drug stores continue to sell liquor. Most of this work was accomplished in the lost fortnight of February. As still more clearly showing the effect of the women's crusade in Ohio, where it started, we may state that in Washington, Cedarville, Zaleski, Leesburgh, Jamestown, Sabina, Reeseville, Blancbester, Woodington, Darbyville, Mt. Sterling and Alpha all the saloons have been closed, and only one store remains open in Franklin, New Holland, Georgetown, 'Waynesville, Greenfield, Logan and McArthur. In Ripley 24 saloons and 3 drug stores surrendered in 23 days, and 2 saloons remain open. In Xenia 26 saloons hove been closed, and 15 are besieged. Springfield has made little progress except in the creation of a strong total abstinence publio sentiment and a strict enforcement of the law. In Columbus and Dayton the movement is in its earliest stages, with some encouraging symptoms. One result of the crusade is the passage of strict prohibitory ordinances by many towns. In Worcester, Mass., which seems just now to be the chief point of interest in New England, there is great difficulty?not in getting np the requisite amount of enthusiasm, but in finding the saloons on which to operate. Not that liquor is not sold and drank there, but owing to the vigilance of the State constables nearly all the rum-sellers are driven into corners : liquor is dealt eut stealthily, and there are no large saloons where liquor is flagrantly sold. The prayer crusaders have few obvious points of attack. There are twenty saloons where lager beer is sold, and also about twenty-five apothecary shops that sell liquor as medicine. Including these and the hotels, eating saloons, and groceries, the State constables have about three hundred and sixteen places on their books. Many are little stores, where there is not more than $2 or ?3 worth of liquor at a time, and where the sale is carefully disguised. A barrel of liquor is carefully concealed in a tunnel under a basement floor, being drawn by moans of a rubber tube. This shows the difference between Worcester and Ohio. The great difficulty in Worcester will be to get manv to admit that they sell it at all. Still the State constables believe that the woman's movement may be productive of good, and they will furnish the crusaders with a list of all suspected places. In Ohio the women say that the Prohibitionists are endangering the whole cause by their over zeal. Already there have been unpleasant scenes when the Prohibitionists have insisted upon giving the women advice. Now the women are nearly all Prohibitionists, and an absolute prohibition law is expected within a year, if this movement goes on as it has of late. But they urge that their work just now is a work of love, and that when the law is mentioned the ealoon-keepers stiffen their backs and say, "Try it 1" with provoking obstinacy. The women therefore say " Hands off!" to the men, and, unless their clumsy hands are taken off, a split in the ranks is inevitable. Th3 Oincinnxti brewirs eomplain of a depression of business as the result of the women's temperance crusade. They unite in saying that if the Ohio movement becomes common to the U. a lwAurinrr Trill lip rip. O., lut; liuniucnri ui ^ ...j, ..... stroyed, and that with its fall, rnin will overtake other business and trades. They say, also, that tho manufacture of the necessary iron barrel-hoopB, the coopers' trade, aud the cultivation of hops and barley will cease. Meanwhile, however, as an offset to these dismal vaticinations, official statistics show that the sale of beer, so far from falling off during the few weeks past, is actually on tho increase. Tho beer stamps sold to browers in the 1st District of Ohio, for the month ending Feb. 26, amounted to more than the year previous. The fever has spread to Maryland, and the Amended License bill, now before the Legislature is strangely in contrast with tho progressive intelligence of the age. So sweeping are the provisions of the bill that merchants are prohibited from making sales outBid o their places of business. The Baltimore Gazette denounces it as "a bill to encourage spies and informers," and a petition signed by several hundred of the leading merchants and manufacturers has been presented against it, as depriving them of mnking their pnrchases at|freecompetition rates, and as calculated also to cause retaliative laws to be passed by other States. Ml * Desporaudum. A real healthy man or woman, is a rarity; and what wonder ? when we realize that it is tho custom to overload the stomach, and men pruuuco vuiuuiu iliseuse by the use of spirituous liquors, "Tonics, ""Appetizers, ''"Restoratives," etc. Having first produced disease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why "nothing does him good." Just so ; and the reason is that they all, or nearly nil, find a basis in alcohol?or poison. To all thus disconruged, we can conscientiously say, "make one more trial," Discard spirituous medicines, and give nature a chunce, aiding her in the struggle by using one of her own pure and unadulterated herb remedies, in tho shnpo of Vineoar Bitters.

It ie quite generally the custom to take strong liver stimulant's for the enro of liver complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms have been diligently searched to procure the most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in order to produce a powerful effect upon the liver, ana arouso Ihe lagging and enfeebled organ. The system of treatment is on the same principle as that of giving a weak and debilitated man large portions of brandy | to enablo him to do a certain amount of work. When tho stimulant is withheld, the organ like the system, gradually relapses into a more [ torpid or sluggish and weakened condition than before. What then is wanted ? Medicines, that, while they cause tho bile to flow freely from the liver, as that organ is toned into action, will not overwork and thus debilitate it, but will, when their use is discontinued, leave the liver strengthened and healthy. works wonders.
