AGRICULTURE. WASTE OX Tilm FARM.-The greatest waste op the farm is In the not pisig of our brains; the greatst, beoause -a.t the bottom of all the other wastes. A little thinking often saves much labor. After accomplishing almost any piece of work, the most of us can look back, and see how we could have improved on It, (f we had but thought. As We re view our crops of this year, we see how they could have been easily increased, had we only thought. The ditch we d ug through our medow was not done in the most economieai way. We dug too deeply at first, and did not allow for I he setting of the. land'. Hence a waste of labor. We omitted buying an im plenent that would have saved nearly Its cost in this one year's use, until we bad spent much in trying to accomp lish our work without it. Here was as6ther waste. We carry a water pipe too near the surface, to save the ex pense of digging a trench of a safe depth, and the winter's frost necessi tates a replacement of the pipe, and an additional digging. Certainly, a waste ijere. We allowed the weeds to grow qn one.piece of land, not thinking to what proportions they would grow by theitime the ci ops wore too far advanced t6 admit the hoe. A waste here, which might have been obviated. And so on wastes, little and big everywhere, all arisingfrom our uot thinking suftici ently-waste, because not necessary and easily~obviated. We omit the or dinary wastes irom neglect, from lazi * iess, from want of appreciation of dleanliness and thoroughness, -the waates from our stock, fram our man ure heap, from our household. Verily, a little thought will save the farmer much, and the saving, through this means, even on a sman farm, will re present the Interest on a considerable capital. The wastes arising fron ig norance can very readily be diminished and are in large part inexousable; those i.rising from caitleseness, are not de serving of sympathy. The farmer, as well as the business man, must, use business principles, to steure the larg eut success, and the one should be as careful of the out-goes as the other. CARROTS Yon AxmAns.-The carrot is the most esteemned of all roots for its feeding qualities. When anjidszed it gives but little more solid matter than any other root, eighty-five per cent, being water; but Its influence in the stomach on the other articles of food is most favorable, contributing to the mest perfect digestion and assimti latoion. 'his reAuit, lobig known to practical men, is explained by chemrists as resulting fron the presence of a substance called pectine, which oi)e rates to coagulate or gelatine vegetab.e solutions, and lavurs this digestiona in all cattle. Horses are espe, ially ben fited by the use of carrots, and they should be fed friquentiy with their other lood. Most all suetiopls of the western country produce, when thou roughly cultivated, beauILul cropls 01 carrots, an'. they can be raised at at trivial expense. The land upon wh ich carrots are to be cultivatect should be mellow, and be plowed deeper than usual. How To FEED Holtsxs.-The trouble with 'Most persons who keep horses, no matter whether for farm work or for driving purposes, is they feed too much hay; and to this caln be attributed-the general sluggishness olten manifested by the horse until they have been working a couple of hours, while their wind Is also much impaired. Night is the only time when hay shoutld be led, especially to animials used for quick work; even the slow plow teaum should have but little hay at the niorning and noon feeds, but give them a geiierous supply at rho eveining meal. By doing this your horses wvill keep Zn better spirits and condition, and~ free fronm any tendency to "'pot belly," which horsemen so miuchm dislike to see. FATTEarNO stock will thrive most when fed only such quantity as will be eaten readily with good appetite: any excess of feed laying before them will destroy time relish, make the ani mals dainty, and lessen the quantity they will consume. A variety Is de. sirable; one feed daily should be sonme esenlent, IIB iotatoes, turnips, or beets, not so much for the food element they contain as to give tone to the appletite and digestion. Feed and water should be givenm at regular timies, and by one feeder, whlo will, if a proper hiand, soon learn what each animal requires and will feed no more or less. WmEns.-T1he best time to kill a weed is as soon as it is born, before you cana see it. When the seed is germinated and is just ready to break throu h the groui, the~n the least disturbance of thme roil disarranges its connections, and it dies In a hot sun ; butt, if it, grows until it makes roots, If it is dis turbed considerably you (10 not kill it ,it has hold upon the soil, and it lives irn spite of you. IPLANTs vary greatly with respect to their demiands for food, their capalbll: tics ot gather-ing the inIgredients f romi the soil and air, and the effects of digi-. erent fertilizers up~on the grow th; hence the proper fertilizer in a givena case dfepenis uipon the crop as well as upon the soil. landuliy in Central Asma. T1he landslip which oyerwhelmedi part of the Russian army marching against the T1ekke-T1urkomatns, -but of which little has been known, must rarnk as one of thme most terrible catas trophes of the kind on record. The column was eampedl ini a nari ow val ley near Kheja-Kaheh, and not far from Kara Kaieh, when, after hoav y rains a huge mass of the mountaina burried six hundr-ed soldiers and many horses. TIheo ITiirkomanms,' taking ad vantage o1 the mishap and tihe conse quent conftusion, attacked and liund~ ered the Russian camip, ciomnpelling the remalnnder of the colnmin to fall back -upon Chat, No landliph unaccomi pasied by other natural convulsions, like earthquakes or'volcanic er~m uionis has ever caused such a frightful loss of life; indeed tihe instances of vast displacements of surface are very rare. In 1840 there was a wonderful subsi dence of surface at Axmnouth, in Devonshire, whlen about one hundred acres of undierellff slipp~ed down to the sea, and a reef forty feet in height was drivein up through time watter. Thelmre was no loss of life on this occasion, nor in the landslips at Lyme Rlegis In 1871, at Freshwater in 1842, or at S8d, mouth in the same year. The disaiter of Khoja-Kaleh, therefore, is probablg nninna in its horror. DOMESTIC. CONOEBNPJ AIR CUITING.-S1e is A mother, heut does not know- hbW to cut the children's hair. This Is a pity, because it is expensive to send ,o the barber, and Papa neglects the job. Besides, the children do not like their hair haggled, and it is not nion to look at either. The troublooften is the scissors are dull ; now, this shpuld not be. A woman ought, above all earthly things, to have sharp scissors, espeelally whore a whole family io 'to sew for. Next in importance to hav Ing plenty of dry kindling wood and lively yeask, Is having sharp solssors. Given sharp selissors, she cannot then out the children's hair. She makes their heads catstoppy; for the life of her, she can't help it. The trouble is she does not manipulate thoecorrb pro rperly. Et her push this instrument through the hair in a direction oppos ite to which it lies on the head, and clip of tho 3e hairs that pi otrude hrough the comb, Do this, little by little, taking hold of fresh hair continually, and soon the job is completed as beau tifully as though the barber had done it. Don't cut off the child's ears. To the sick thirst Is most important and alstressing, often causing much restlessness and Irritability-these in their turn often increasing the fever. The urgent thirst must, therefore, be allayed; but if left to themselves, to satiate their craving, patients will al ways drink to excess, which is very liable to disarrange the stomach, im pair digest ion, produce flatulence and even diarrhea, Theory and experi ence both show that- drinks, made slightly bitter and somewhat acid, slack thirst most effectually. A weak Infusion of oascarrilla or orange peel, acidulated slightly with hydrochlorio acid is a favorite thirst-allaying drink for fever patie-ts. Raspberry vine gor is a useful drink. Sucking ice is very grateful. CHEAP DYES.-A lovely dark brown can bp obtained by uslng catechu and bi-cromate of potash,two ounces of the potash and four of the catechu. A lighter yellowish brown, can be color ed by making a strong tea of hemlock bark, and putting in the goods while hot. A correspondent says that last tall she sent some muslin to be colored in the vats at the tannery, and was de lighted with the shade-a yellow browo,and free froin spots. Sot maple bark with copperas added, makes a lovely lark purple. It will wear well, and bear washing if dried in the shade. 1icokory bark and copperas will imike a dull dark green, White olover blossoms and alum proluce a bright yellow. STARCH FOR 1nRT BosoMs.-Take two ounces of fine gum-arabic powder put into i itcher, and pour on a pint of boiling water, according to the strength you desire, and then, having covered it, let it stand all night; in the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle, cork It and keep it for use. A tablespoonful of guni water stirred into a pint of starch miade In the usual manner will give to lawn, either white or printed, a look of newness when nothing else can re store them after they have been washed. A NOLD 01 UOLI AIKA'r.-A pound or a little more of cold meat- beef, mutton, anything except pork-two ounces of maccaroni, one teacupful of line bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of butter, 0on0 egg, peppier and salt. Cat the meat very fine. Wash the macca ronl in cold water then boll for half an hour, draln and cut into inch-lenigths. Mix with the meat crumbs, butter, pepper and salt, mix thoroughly, bind togetiter with the beaten egg and pack into a wecll--greased basin or bowl and steam for an hour. This is very nice for breakfast or tea, sliced and eaten cold. LAws of life say it does not neces sarily follow that a person with an ill-developed or peculiarly shaped chest wall should have consumption. One great primary cause of consump tion is the want of inflation of apices of the lungs, whether ironi hablt,occupa.. idon, inattention or whatever cause. i'ihis tact is the primary cause of more consumption than anything else. It opens the door for the onset of tile dis ease under any exciting cause, as cold, congestion or pneumonia.

Instead of oil, which thickens and makes the stones dirty, a mixture of glycerine and alcohol is used by many. The proportions of the mixture vary according to the instrument operated upon.

For a graving tool, the cutting surface of which is very small, as is also the pres sure exercised on the stone in sharpen ing, It Is necessary to employ glycerine almost pure, with but two or three drops of alcohol.

Having had numberless inquiries for avertis~ cards fr9ra ladies In all paits Wt the country who are Interest e' In the ievailing fashion of making ' ard C llections,"' we are having inted for- them a set of seven beauti ful cards each in six colors and on a gold background, in the very highest degree of-art, illutratingShakspeare's "Seven Ages of Man," We have spared no expense in these cards-they are simply little art gems. Our only aim has been to publish the finest cards yet shown. Applications for them have come- in so -apidly that nearly the whole edition is engaged before the receipt by us of the cards from the artist. 'Ve have therefore been obliged to adopt the.following plan for the dis tribution of the remuinder: No more of the gilt Shakspeare cards, seven in the series, will be s'nt excepting upon the receipt of a statement from a grocer that the person applying for the eards has bought of him on that day at least seven bars of Dobb.na' Eiectric Soap, with price paid for same. All apply Ing in this manner oill receive the Iull bet of seven cards graus by mail. This will insure us that our friands and pa trons get their share of these beautiful designs, although it in no manner re pays us for the cost of the cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get it, and twe purchase by you of seven bars of it at one time will secure for you gratis seven really beautiful cards. The soap improves with age, and Is an articlof neuessity In your house every week. Therefore. you are not asked to buy a useless article, but one that you must have any way. Please send us your appheation at once, and tell your lady friends making "Card Collections," to do the same. *rouors do not have the cards to deliver. Buy the soap of them, send us their bill, aid we whi mall you the cards free. Yours respectfully, . L. CnAam & Co., 116 South 4:b Street, Phtiadelphia, Pa. .P.

She brings grubs-food that, as a wasp, she never tasted-and deposits them over the egg, ready for the larva she will nevsr.see. The life history of every insect ex hibits Instincts of this perplexing de scription. Look at the instinctive character of bees In their far-sighted provisiops for the future. Witness the caterpillar, how at the proper time it selects a suitable situation and spins for itself a Silken cocoon. Marvellous instincts are met with outside of the insect world; every little bird is its own skilful accoucheur. We or ce ob served the self-delivery of the chicken. The prison wall is not burst in pieces by struggles. By a regular series of strokes the shell is cut in two-ehipped round in a perfect circle somxe dist-tnce from the large end. The bird has a special instrument for this work-a hard, sharp horr5 on the top of the upper mandible, which, beng required for no other purpose, disappears in a few days. Obviously each Individual bird no more acquires the art of break ing its wAy out than it furnishes itself with the libtle pick-hammer used in the operation; and it is quite-clear that a bird could have never escaped from the egg without this instinct How were eggs hatched before birds had acquired the instinct to sit upon them ? A fowl that never before willingly shared a crumb with a comp mnion will now starve herself to feed her chiokena, which she calls by a language she never before used-may have neyer heard--but which they are burn to un derstanid.
