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,

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

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,

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

Given sharp selissors, she cannot then

their heads catstoppy; for the life of
her, she can't help it. The trouble is
she does not manipulate thoecorrb pro

and soon the job is completed as beau

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.

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

Let us examine the marvellous In
stinct of the solitary wasp In providing
for the worm that will issue from her
egg after her own death. 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.

According to Dr. Wiedeholp, f ungus
growths in cellars may be combated
eithier by burning suilphur or by pour..
ing two parts of concen'.rated sulphuric
acid over one part of cominou salt, and
so closing all openings as to prevent
any escape of the vapors.

PLEASING MODESTY: A Frenchman
was presented to Mahmoud, and found
himself, In consequence of progressive
ideas, a little embarrassed at having to

a title even less familiar than that of
"Ills Majesty.'" The Sultan saw his
embarrassment and remarked sym
pathetically "Call me King of Kings;
it's tuuch more simple."
