Farm, Garden and Household. Drill Bowing Wheat. Every year's experience is In favor of drilling wheat. It shows more and more that, as against sowing the seed broadcast, it is economical in labor and in seed, and gives a better crop. The difference in labor is at least $1.00 an acre, or the cost of two harrowings after sowing, or one cultivating. The difference in seed is at leant half a bushel, or BO cents to a $1.00 an aore. and the difference in the crop is fully one-fourth, or upon fairly good soil, six bushels or nine dollars per acre. Eleven dollars per aore upon ten acres will more than pay for the best drill made, which will sow ten acres a day. But if the means of purchasing a drill are not available, nnd there are less than ten acres of wheat to be sown, it will yet pay to hire a drill, which may be done from some neighbor, fortunate enough to possess one, for 50 cents per acre. We have not yet seen a part of the country whore a drill could not be purchased or hired, and very few fields upon which a drill could not be used, if the ground was properly prepared. It is one of the greatest advantages re sulting from the use of machinery upon farms, that it to a great extent ne cessitates good farming. At least that it compels improvements, and the farm er who once enters upon the march of improvement rarely stops and never looks bnck. Thus when a drill is used for the first time, the farmer finds his crooked fence in the way j his narrow gates, or his awkward bars are incon venient, the brush and weeds around his fence interfere, his poor plowing is troublesome, the baulks and hard spots that have been left, a nuisance to him, an3 the weeds, trash, rough clods, and stones upon the surface are a severe tax upon his patience. The next season all these faults will be remedied, because discovering the profit of the machine, he is obliged to prepare for its use. This is like the entrance of light into dark places, and a number of things that were never noticed or suspected before are now so conspiououBly apparent that they can not be any longer left undone. The samo is true as to the use of the mower or the reaper, and thus the money spent for any of these needful machines is repaid in more ways than one. Agri culturist, Household Hints. Sweetening Old Lard. Take a small bunch of slippery-elm bark and put it in the lard, and cook one hour. Stove Polish and Soapsuds. If sto.ve polish is mixed with very strong soapsuds, the luster appears imme diately, and the dust of the polish does not fly around as it usually does. Cream Pudding, One pint of milk, one pint of flour, one teaspoonful of salt ; to this add six eggs, well beaten, with three tablespoonfuls of white sugar, ana tiio grated nnd of one lemon, ante in a buttered dish. Tomato Omelet. Beat ud six eeea. mix two tablespoonfuls of ilour with a lictle milk, and add pepper and salt to taste. Teel and chop very fine four tomatoes, stir altogether and fry in butter. Oyster omelet is made in the same way, substituting a dozen chopped oysters ior me tomutces. Barley Sugar. Dissolve and boil one pound and a half of loaf sugar in half a pint of water and the white of an egg ; when it is at candy height, add a teaspoonful of strained lemon-juice, and boil it quickly till it recovers its former state ; pour it over a marble slab, and when it becomes stiff cut it in strips ami mwi it. To Exterminate Vermin. A most eflective insect powder is feverfew. This, pulverized and pure, added to an equal weight of powdered borax and scattered in the haunts of bedbuss. roaches, or any other vermin, will scare incin away sure ; it can be rubbed on a dog to kill fleas, and will do its work eiiectually. Eaxcid Butter Made Sweet. --Eancid butter can be made as sweat as when first churned, by the following prooess : To one quart of water add fiftv-five drops of the chloride of lime ; then wash thoroughly in this mixture five pounds of rancid butter. It must re main in the mixture two hours. Then wash twice in pure water and once in sweet milk ; add salt. This preparation ui umo uuiiuuns noming injurious. Lemon Pudding. One quart of sweet muj, two tabiespoonluls of pounded crncuers, one tabiespoonlul of butter. six eggs. Grato the yellow rind of two large lemons, press out the pulp and juice of the lemons, and strain. Then mix with six large tablespoonfuls of white sugar, add this to the milk, mix ing well together, turn into a dish lined with puff paste, and bake from 25 to 30 minutes. To be eaten cold, with or wiwioui sauce. . Sweet Potato Pudding. To a large sweet potato weighing two pounds al low half pound of sugar, half pound of Duiter, one giu sweet cream, one grated nutmeg, a little lemon peel, four eggs ; boil the potato until done, mash up fine, and while hot add the sugar and butter. Set aside to cool while you beat the eggs light, and add the season ing last. Line the plates with puff paste and pour in the mixture. Bake in a moderate but regularly heated oven. Wetting Fuel. As many persons are at this season laying in their winter stock of fuel, it is important that they should be again reminded of the danger attending the common cubtoni of wetting coal in cel lars. Even the fire-damp which es capes from coal mines arises from the slow decomposition of coal at a temper ature but little above that of the at mosphere, but under augmented pres sure. By wetting a mass of freshly broken coal and putting it into a warm cellar, the mass is heated to such a de gree that carburetted and sulphuretted hydrogen are given off for long periods of time and pervade the whole house. There are several instances on reooid of spontaneous combustion of coal when stowed into the bunkers or holds of vessels. About Fish. Seth Green, the piscieulturist, while exhibiting a tank of fish in public, re cently, made a few remarks on the nature and habits of these animals.and referring to the mooted question, " Do fish hear ?" answered emphatically in the negative. To demonstrate his opinion ho asked the band to arrange themselves in close proximity to the tank and blow their loudest blast. This they did ; but not one of the multitude of fishes stirred a fin. Mr. Green then said that although fish were thus un susceptible to sound, they were keen of vision and sensitive to the slightest jar. To illustrate the latter point, he tapped on the bottom of one of the trout tanks with just enough force to cause a slight vibration in the water, when every inmate of the tank darted off like a flash, Heart Disease. In the course of a leoture recently delivered in New York, Dr. Lyman said : " Heart disease among both ladies and gentlemen is the one most in vogue just at present. A synonym for pseudo heart disease is indigestion. False modes of dress, by crowding the heart, cause it to beat irregularly. Remedy the dress and the heart will healthily perform its functions. The heart is almost the last organ to be come diseased, beoause it has a great work to do. Nature made it strong, and supplied it with as few nerves as Eossible. Women who faint, as a rule,' ave too small cavities for heart and lungs. Fainting is a provision of na ture for the reinstatement of the body, by allowing the hoart a brief respite. When the stomach is unduly distended by food, the heart is crowded and com plains. Good straight shoulders are highly essential to women. If she pos sess an erect form, a woman's heart has a better opportunity to beat healthily and evenly. " Mauy mistake a palpitating sensa tion of the muscular wall of that por tion of the stomach nearest the heart for an affection of the heart. Adipose or fatty accumulation around the heart will often render its beating labored or heavy. 'Die heart is not, however, diseased ; it is only working under difficulties. Prostration also affects the beating of the heart, caus ing it to pulsate more rapidly. Strength will remove this difficulty. It is a theory with some physicians that in a natural life the heart beats only a given number of times. " If this be so, running up and down stairs, excitement and hurry, by in creasing the number of heart-beats in a minute, diminish the length of one's life. It is a well-known fact that a race-horse is not lone lived, because having such a demand made upon the action ox tue neart, tne neart muscles wear out sooner than they otherwise would." Cpnses of Dew. If dew fell it would fall for the same reason that rain falls; but dew does not fall it is simply a deposit by moisture, always contained in the air to a greater or loss degree, and which, when there'is enough of it, will always form on any oold body exposed to the moist air, in precisely the same way that a cold bottle or stone, taken from a cold cellar and suddenly exposed in the shade to the moist, warm summer air, will become wet. This is not sweating, nor does this moisture come out of the bottlo or stone, as many people believe, but from the air. It is for the same reason that moisture will condense against the window-panes when the air is cold outside and moist inside, the moisture slowly freezing, while its deposits form crystals of ice, whioh we so often admire in winter. When the weather is cool enough the moisture deposited will even freeze on plants and grass, and then we call it hoar frost ; if it does not freeze it is simply dew. The only point left to be explained is, why does the ground be come so cool during the night, so mnch cooler than the air above it as to cause the latter to deposit its moisture ? This was for many years a vexed problem, till Wells first suggested the radiation of obscure heat, which takes place from the surface of the earth through the clear atmosphere in the space above, and so causes the surface to become much cooler than tlfe air itself. He demonstrated this by means of ther mometers placed at different heights, and also by the fact that dew is only deposited on cloudless nights. When there are clouds they reflect the heat, or prevent it from escaping. The sur face of the earth thus being kept from cooling, no dew is deposited. A Perfect Home. The most perfect home I ever saw was a little house into the sweet incense of whose fire went not costly things. A thousand dollars served as a year's living of father, mother and three chil dren. But the mother was the creator of a home ; her relations with her chil dren were the most beautiful I have ever seen ; even the dull and common place man was lifted up and enabled to do good Work for souls by the atmos phere which this woman created ; every inmate of her house involuntarily look ed into her face for the keynote of the day, and it always rang clear. From the rosebud or clover leaf, which, in spite or her hard housework, she al ways found to put by our plates at breakfast, down to the story she had on hand to read in tho evening, there was no intermission of her influence. She had always been and always will be my ideal of a mother, wife and home maker. If to her quick brain, loving heart and exquisite face had been added the appliance of wealth and the enlarge ment of wider culture, hers would have been absolutely the ideal home. As it was, it was the best I have ever seen. Helen Hunt, To Get a Light. To obtain light instantly without the use of matches and without the danger of setting things afire, take an oblong vial of the whitest and clearest glass ; put into it a piece of phosphorus about the size of a pea, upon which pour some olive oil, heated to the boiling point, filling the vial about one-third full, and then seal the vial hermetically. To use it, remove the cork and allow the air to enter the vial and then re- cork it. The empty space in the bottle will then become luminous, and the light obtained will be equal to that of a lamp. As soon as the lamp grows weak, its power can be increased bv opening the vial and allowing a fresh supply of air to enter. In winter it is sometimes necessary to heat the vial Detween tne Hands to increase the fluidity of the oil. Thus Dreriared the vial may be used for six months. This prepared contrivance is now used by the watchmen of Paris in all magazines where explosive or inflammable ma. terialsare used. Beware the Sink. A distinguished medical authority warns the drinkers of water of wells near'dwelliugs, to beware of the ty phoid poison sure to befound sooner or later in these reservoirs, if any of the house drainage can percolate to them. The gelatinous matter often found upon the stones of a well is poison to the human system, probably causing by its spores a fermentation of the blood, with the abnormal heat of fever. Whole some, untainted water ia always free from all color and odor. To test it thoroughly, place in it a few grains of lump sugar, and expose it, stoppered, to sunlight, in a window. If, even after an exposure of eight or ten days, the water becomes turbid, be sure that it has been contaminated by sewerage of some kind. If it remains perfectly clear, it is pure and safe.

While house dresses consist merely of a basque and demi-train, street suits of wool stuffs retain an over-dress of some kind. The long apron proves to be the favorite style, and in many cases this apron is extended to form a regular over-skirt. The latest designs have a sloped seam down the middle of the apron, making it almost bias, as wool goods cling moro closely and drape better when out bias. This seam is either hidden by one of many rows of jet galloon or of Titan braid or else bias silk or velvet, or perhaps the seam is not concealed, but is ornamented by a series of four or five long-looped bows. Imported aprons of black cashmere nave five rows of jet galloon their whole length, while the edge is finished with jet fringe, crimped tape fringe, or knife plaiting of silk. Striped oamel's-hair aprons of the wide two-inoh stripes of brown or gray shades now in vogue when cut with this middle seam have the stripes pointed to moet there, and produce a very pretty effect ; such aprons are simply piped or corded on the edge. The back drapery is of two straight breadths about five-eighths of a yard wide, corded all around, each sowed to the belt in a wide box-plait, and then lapped from side to side ; or else these bieadths are gathered asross in two drooping puffs, with loops of silk coming from below eaoa puff ; the ends hang straight and show square corners below. Other aprons have but one trimmed back breadth caught up in intricate fostooned puffs that defy description. These aprons are more bouffantly draped in the back and are higher on the sides than those lately worn, yet economical and practical wo men who like the long round over skirt, almost concealing the skirt be neath it, will be glad to know that it is still in vogue. The cuirass basque ac companies aprons and over-skirts. Polonaises in the cuirass Marguerite shape, also those with basque backs, are found at the most select houses. Memory. Hammerton says : There are two ways in which the memory is very commonly injured and ill-used. First (the old way), by giving it no va riety in its work, but setting it to one little dull task forever, choosing always some task beneath its strength. Sec ondly (the newly invented way), by re fusing it all exercise whatever, despis ing its services, and shutting it up without employment until it gets sickly and debilitated, and incapable of the slightest exertion. Destruction, in Disguise. It is a fact that mixtures of bad liquors and aoid astringents are often given for medicines. They are potent to destroy, and may be safely warranted to ruin, morally and physically, any human being that sticks to them long enough.

JV. Y, Times. Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bron chitis, Consumption. A Wonderful Cure, Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 13th, 1874. K. V. Pierce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir I bad suffered from Catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years aud for Beveral years from Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. Iu May, '72, becoming nearly worn out with excessive Editorial labors on a paper in New York City, I was attacked with Bron chitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total Jobs of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when I was com pletely prostrated with Hemorrhage from tho Lungs, having four severe bleeding spells within iwo weeks, ami first three within nine days. In the September following, I improved suf ficiently to be able to be about, though in a very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble re mained and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground dailv. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almoBt daily until about the first of March, '73, when I bocame so bad as to be entirely confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies. But I was extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as I had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doctors with disgust. However. I obtained one of your eiroulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Kemedy, your Golden Medioal Dis covery and Pellets, and oommenced their vigorous use according to direotions. To my surprise, I soon began to improve. The Dis covery and Pellets, in a short time, brought out a severe eruption, wich continued for several weeks. I felt much better, my appe tite improved, and I gained in strength and flesh.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon theso various or gans, is essentially necessary, 'i'hero is no cathartic for tho purposo equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vixecjau Bitters, as they will speedily removo tho dark colored viscid matter with which tho bowels aro loaded, at the samo time stinmlatiug tho secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs.
