AGRIOUA'UEN. Maon GaADzs Brragn THAN SCRUBS. -It costs no more to ke'ep a good aii mal thAn a poor one, and generally not as sgch. 4 high grade steer, for In stance, Is ready for market from one to two years earl ier than a scrub. The object In raising a steer for beef, and how to get him to the block in the most desirable form, from the bcather's standpoint, in the shortest period after his birth, and at the minimum of cost is the leading question for the farmer or feeder to solve. The high grade steer Is ready for market from one to two years sooner than the scrub can be put into that form. The former more easily digests and assimilates his food than the latter, and appropriates more oi its nutritious principles. When ready for market the grade turns the scale generally at one-third more than the scrub, the meat Is laid on where the butcher wants it and 1s far better in quality, hence brings a higher price. Here is the differe ace in the cost of keep ing of from one to two years-general ly two-and a third heavier carcam, besides the difference per lb. In the price of the meat. The truth is, it is impossible for farmers In the older States, not only in the E4st, but in the Statew cast of the Missisippi river, to raise scrub stock prolltably. Tble Western cattle-mien, whose herds are counted by thousands, are now "bree ding ip" their naLivO stock-a fact that imakes it imperative uponl Ils cOlml petitor farther east, to raise cattle that, are well-bred, that inherit a large capacity fron consumption, digestion and assimilation of lood, and mature in Irorsi two and a half to three years at most.

TO MAXX VuIsOAR.-I. Boll eitner corn, wheat, barley or rye, about one pint of the grain to a gallon of water strain, and to the liquor thus obtain9d add syrup or sugar until pleasantly sweet. Let stand in a warm place,and you will soon havegood vinegar. The stronger and sweeter the liquor the stronger will be the vinegar and - the longer in making. 2. Pack in a jar the skins and cores of apples made in preparing pies and sauce, and cover with boiling water. When another lot is made add them and more hot water till the ar Is full. In warm weather set the Jar in the sun, carefully cover ed wltk a cloth; in cool weather in a warm place in the house. The .apples do not rot at all. In six or eight weeks the water Is turned Into excellent vin egar and of an amber color. No yeast, nor spirits, nor acids, nor sugar, n r molasses are needed-nothing what ever but the skins and cores and water. BzEF brine is excellent for a sprain. A piece of flannel wet In brine and bouad on, will give almost immediate relief. Borax and alcohol are very good for extracting the poison from otings and insect bites. A bit of fi'in nel wrung from alcohol in which is dissolved a bit of borax, and laid across the chest, will give relief in severe cases of pneumonia. A cloth wrung from warm water, bound around the neckand covered with flannel, is ex cellent for inflammatory sore throat. It should remain on all night. This will apply to inflammation of many kinds. A single drop of camphor on a lump of sugar, repeated every fifteen minutes, is better than stronger doses for severe attacks of diarrh-. Taken once an hour is suffilcient for milder cases. HOME-MAIDE COURT PLASTER.-Soak isinglass in a little warm water for twenty-fours hours; then evaporate nearly all the water by general heat; dissolve the resid-te in a little dilute alcohol, and strain the whole through a piece of open linen. The strained mass should be stif'Jelly when cold. Now stretch a piece of silk or sarsenet on a wooden frame and fix it tightly with tacks or pack thread. Melt the Jelly, and apply it to the silk thinly and evenly with a badger hall brush. A second coating must be applied when the first has dried. When both are dry, apply over the whole surface two or three coatings of balsam. of Peru. Plaster thus made Is very pliable, and never breaks. GUTTA PKndCA CHMENMrr.-Th is ligh ly recommended cement la made by melting together, in au iron pail, two parts common pitch and one part gutta percha, stirring them well together until thoroughly incorporated, and then pouring the liquid into cold wa ter.

It may be used as a soft paste, or in the liquid state, and answers an excellent purpose in cementing metal, glass, porcelain, ivory, etc. It may be used instead ot putry for glazing win dows.

On Fourth of July Eph took a tea box; upon Its green sides he plastered the pa rs of Ohinese firog41eg, eipled Cathirine wheels, 6$ayg4 tut nigger-ohasers,. the blank'cartridies'of expended Roman candles. Great king! it was a formidable looking. machine. Attached to a hole in the corner was a foot of fuse. Eph, after the coDstruction, took his diabolical looking affair out on the Bowery, and placed it on the car track. He then stepped back and warned off the first car. One man stopped; ton more halted; one hundred came to a stand still; cars strung along for blocks; policemen arrived and beat back the crowd; people rushed up stairs in their houses, and raised windows in view of the coming concussion. Once in a while a stage driver, more venture some than his fellows,held his head on one side, shut his eyer, opened his mouth, trusted in Heaven, and lashed his animals past the infernal machine, whose fuse burned slowly and surely toward the dreadful engine of destruc tion. For blocks the avenue was crowded. "Fall back," shrieked the police with uplifted batons. 'A-o-w-w 1' screamed the women, with fingers in their ears. The multitude surged backward as the glowing spark crept up. A moment of awful suspense and "ping!" went a little fire-cracker In side that big, hollow tea-box. And Eph, bowing to the immediate mour ners, as It to pay "the performance Is over," picked up the box, and amid the execrations of thousands, too4 him. self and his hoax out of sight. I AT Oxford, some years ago, a tutor of-one of the collesees limped in 1118 walking. Stoping one day last summer at t% railway stmtion, he was accosted by a well known politician who recog nized him, and asked if he were not the chaplain of that college at such a time, naming the year. The doctor replied that, he was. "I was there," said his interrogator, "and I knew you by your limp." "Well," said the doctor, "it seems my limping made a deeper impreesion on you than my preaching." "Ah, doctor," he replied with ready wit, "it is the highest compliment we can pay a minister to say that he is known by his walk rather than by his preaching." A DETnOITIER has a bright blue-eyed little niece of 4 years. The other day he paid her a visit, and she as usual welcomed him with a fond embrace, coupled with a smaek which echoed through the room. Ile presented her with the customary box of sweets with the question, "Do you love me little one?" "Yes, untle, does always sure I" site replied. After she had disposed of her candy,she climbed upon her vis itor's knee,and fondling him for a time she surprised him with the question, "Do you love me, too?" "To be sure I do," was the reply. The little one paused a moment and then whispered in his ear. "Well, if you like woe too, give me all your money."

Starang with his theory that the cn ergy of a bar magnet acts along spira lines, Dr. Shettle surmises that th energy proceeding from the sun an striking the earth on the zone of th ecoliptic traverses the earth in a spira path, and finally emerges at the mag ntic poles. The spiral of energy i "right-handed" at one pole and left handed" at the other, like the magneti force in a magnet, and the electric die charge In Crooke's vacuum tubes. Lik to precession and nutation, he hold that these spiral paths are conatanti: chinging and producing magneti variations, and he suspects that th magnetic poles will complete a cycl< correspondi-ig to the period of preces 81on. Altogether spiral energy is mad to play a most Important part by Dr Shettle. He holds that all bodies ex bibit magnetic properties just in th degree that they are capable of chang ing' the energy traversing them int, the spiral form. The solar radius 0: this hypothesis would not only be th canse of terrestrial magnetism, but o gravity itself, as well as a host of othe phenomena, ouch as those of eleotricit ar.d those attending tornadoes, cy clones, water spouts, etc. The. dooto by no nicaits intends to confine hi theory to the, earth, but makes it operation universal.
