FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Hint* About Work. Farm machinery now represents a large portion of the farmer's capital. Next to his land and live stock, his machinery costs the most money. Fre- 1 Juentlv it costs more than the live stock, t ought to be carefully used and kept. ' Whatever implement lias not been thoroughly cleaned, oiled and put away, should now be attended to. Machinery will be used more and more,- and a man of intelligence can use it most profitably. Farmers should therefore study mechanics, not only that they may know how to use and care for their machines, but how to improve them and invent new ones. Many new agricultural machines are brought out, that are useless from tlio first, because the inventors knew nothing about agriculture. An inventor of *a new plowing machine . acknowledged to us that ho did not know that sod should be turned over when plowed. Ho had a machine that tore it into fragments and left it upon tlio surface. Farmers should be their own inventors, and in the course of time they wili be, if tho young men study. Manure should not bo left to freeze in hard lumps beneath the stock. The stables should be warm enough to prevent froeziug in them, or the cattle will suffer loss, or more feed muBt be given. By wheeling out the manure the first thing each morning to tho heap in tho yard, and piling it up neatly and compactly, tho whole may lie kept from freezing during the winter, and it will be in fino condition for use in the spring. Root cellars should now bo mode safe against frost. Protect the house collar, but provide for ventilation. Porches for protection to the front and back doors will cost but a few dollars. They should bo made so as to fasten to tlio house by a Book and staple upon each side, and removed in spring. Weather strips are rarely seen in country houses, but they save much fuel, and add to tho comfort. A good substitute may bo mnde by cutting sheet rubber into strips, and nailing them around the doors and windows. Let an ampie supply 01 ary wood be kept in the kitchen. tiibcral feeding is now needed. No stock should be allowed to loso now wliat they have miule in the summer. On tho contrary, they should l>e kept growing. And they may lie by proper foeding. " Ho becomoth poor that dcnlcth with a slack hand," is very true in this respect. There must bo close attention to this matter, or money is lost in feed and in weight of stock. Don't trust too much to hired men or boys. Have exact measurements for tho feed. A box to hold three quarts should be ifif every feed bin. Tliis makes a fair allowance for one ox or horse, or for two cows or four calves at each feed. A bushel basket of fine cut hay is an average for one horse or cow, or two calves at each feed. There should be no waste, but as much feed given as will bo eaten up clean. Give salt regularly in small quantities, or have it accessible to the animals. ?Agriculturist. A Few Hint*. A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker strongly recommends lime in lands that have been worn out. He tried it with the best results. A western New York grape raiser found that gypsum was very beneficial to his vines in preventing the blight. Excessive fatness in beef is not a good sign. A safer indication is in the mottled appearance of the flesh, from the lean being interlarded with a vein-like thread of fat. The finest beefsteaks are cut from the sirloin and upper part of the aitch bone, or what is called the short loin, directly back of the sirloin, which is considered the choice roast. Sweeping, if carelessly done, wears a carpel more man anytmng else, and vet we find very few good sweepers. Indeed, many a woman prides herself on the amount of dirt she can gather, when the "dirt" is simply or largely wool that she has swept from the framework of the carpet with her stiff, harsh broom. A new potato, known as the white queen (retne blanche), is being cultivated in France. In good soil from twelve to fifteen tubers are formed, many of which attain or exceed twenty-two pounds. The flavor is said to be very fine. Planted in February or March, it becomes ripe in" July. A correspondent of the Colonial Farmer, whom tho editor declares to be a practical breeder, writes that to handle hogs to the best advantage, a pasture is needed of green grasses, clover, bluegrass and timothy?and it is best if there is no running water or stock ponds in the lot. Hogs do better where there are no branches or stock ponds to wallow in. Hynptoma of Blur It Lei. Tho symptoms of black leg in calves or cattle are a sadden depression of the whole animal organization an if seized with palsy. A swelling immediately takes place on some part of the body, as on the legs, shoulders, under the belly or on some port of the back. When it appears on the back, towards the loins, it will be attended with the most danger. It is first discovered by the cracking noise made by the swelling when the hand is pressed upon it, and owing to the quantity of air being oollected between the skin and flesh. The mouth and tnnom? are fall of blisters. IG'arlac Haws. A good recipe?there may be better? is to rub the hams with fine salt and sugar and lay in a dry plaoe. After fire or six days, rub again, putting on some new salt as the old becomes dry and does not penetrate. At the end of eight or nine days, apply the salt t^gain. Use sugar only at the first rubbing. Keep the salt on them until the shank looks white and the skin draws down tight; when this is the appearance the hams are ready to smoke. A reoent report on " Paper Making as Conducted in Western Massachusetts" contains a list of 112 different materials for making paper, from all of which an article of fair quality can be produced. Among the list are enumerated asparagus, beet-root, cabbage-stumps, frog-spittle, hon-Tinea, hornets' nests, lily-of-the aUey, leather-cuttings, mummy-doth, aafW-doat, thistles, and willow twigs." ? The Newspaper Postage Question. The following instructions to poetmasters have boen approved by United States Postmaster-General Jewell in relation to the prepayment of postage on ' newspapers and other printed matter on tl and after January 1, 1875, under the act a of June 23, 1874. Section 5 of the said o act divides the matter therein described p into two sections, and fixes the rate of r postage on each as follows : On all news- jj papers and periodicals issued weekly or q oftener, two cents per pound or fraction v thereof ; and on all those issued less fre- c quently, three oents per pound or fraction thereof. Under section G, upon the 11 receipt of such matter at the mailing 0 office, properly assorted into tho two 8 classes, it must be prepaid, after de- a ducting the weight of tho sack, by 1 special adhesive stamps furnished by the 11 Department for this purpose. Ordinary S postage stamps cannot be used for this b purpose, nor can these stamps lie used n for any other purpose. Postmasters will n make the following deductions for the v weight of the sacks, viz. : No. 1 jute t sacks, two and a half pounds ; No. 2 ? jute sacks, two pounds ; No. 1 cotton 0 sacks, tlireo and a quarter pounds ; No. j, 2 cotton sacks, three and a half pounds. ^ On receipt of the postage the postmaster will give a receipt from a book of blank " forms furnished by the Department. The stamps will then be affixed to the v stub of the receipt and canceled by ^ perforating them with a punch, and the 1 iinn in. apuces in uie ami) will no nnod to 1 correspond with the receipt. The stub books are to be kept permanently in the offico to bo ready to bo produced whenever demanded by the Department. Postmasters will render promptly at tho end of each quarter, on blank forms furnished for the purpose, a statement of the postage collected from each publisher or news agent during tho quarter. These special stamps will be charged to postmasters and accounted for in the same manner as the ordinary postage stamps. In regard to local papers at letter carrier offices it is ruled tliat newspapers, periodicals, and circulars deposited in a letter carrier office for delivery by the office or its carriers are subject to postage at the following rates : On newspapers, regular or transient, not exceeding two ounces, one cent each ; on periodicals, regular or transient, not exceeding two ounces, one cent each ; on periodicals, regular or transient, exceeding two ounces, two cents each ; circulars, unsealed, one cent each ; weekly newspapers, to transient parties, one cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof. | These rates must be paid by postage stamps affixed. "Weekly newspapers to regular suliscribers, five cents per quarter. Section 7 relates to county papers, which will pass by mail free to subscribers actually residing within tho county, but when delivered at letter carrier offices or by letter carriers they are subject to the rates of postage fixed in Laws and Regulations, page 67, section 158. The foregoing instructions are to take effect on January 1, 1875. Surveyors Saved by a Horse. Some years since, a party of surveyors 1 1 1 A. il-I-t- - J V * ' ' mm jiim, uuimuuu weir uay s worn ui the northwestern part of Hiinois, when a violent snow storm came on. They started for their camp, which was in a forest of about eighty acres in a large prairie, nearly twenty miles from any other trees. The wind was blowing very hard, and the snow drifting so as to nearly -blind them. When they thought they had nearly reached their camp, they all at once came upon footsteps in the snow. These they looked at with care, and found, to their dismay, that they were their own tracks. It was now plain that they were lost on the great prairie, and if they had to pass the night there, in the cold and snow, the chance was that not one of them would be alive in the morning. While they were shivering with fear and cold, the chief man caught sight of ono of their horses, a gray pony known as old Jack. Then the chief said : " If any one can show us our way to camp, out of this blinding snow, old Jack can do it. I will take off his bridle and let him loose, and we can follow him. I think he will show na nnr xxraxr Koolr In nomn " The home, as soon as he found liim- I self free, threw his head and tail in the air, as if proud of the trust tliat had been put upon him. Then ho snuffed the breeze, and gave a loud snort, which seemed to say, " Come on, boys ! Follow me. I'll lead you out of this scrape." He then turned in a new direction, and trotted along, but not so fast that the men could not follow him. They had not gone more than a mile when they saw the cheerful blaze of their camp fires, and they gave a loud huzza at the sight, and for old Jack. How to Avoid Colds. An editorial in the British Medical Journal, on catching cold, concludes thus : The practical considerations wliich are the outcomes of tliis review of tho pothology of colds are those : Never to wear wet clothes after active muscular exertion has ceased, but to change them at once ; to meet the loss of tho body heat bv warm fluids and dry clothes ; to avoid long sustained loss of heat which is not met by increased production of heat ; to increase the tonicity of the vessels of the skin by cold baths, etc., so edncatiixr them til IVinfroM roo/ltlv #wi poeure, by a partial adoption indoed of ' the " hardening" plan ; to avoid too 1 warm and debilitating rooms and tern- < Kratures ; to take especial care against J > great loss cf heat when the skin is I glowing ; and to prevent the inspiration { of oold air by the month by some pro- i teeting agent, as a respirator. We can ( readily understand how a respirator j should be an effective protection against winter bronchitis in those so disposed. ( Aw Early Shipment.?The Richmond < Whig says that the following letter, 1 written in London on August 21, 1762, to a colonist of Virginia, is still in existence there : We send you a shipment, one widow and eleven maids, for wives of the people of Virginia. There has been especial care in the choioe of them, for there hath not one of them been received but upon good recommendations. In case they cannot be presently married we desire that they may be put with several householders that Lavs wives until they can be provided with husbands. NEWS OF T1IE DAY.
