Prr. ct'c-nl Hints for I lie Fnrma
The whole grans question, anil a great
many othor questions, nre tmmmnd up in
the aphorism put in the mouth of an old
farmer: No grnss, no cattle ; no cattle,
no manure ; no manure, no crops ; no
crops, no furmcrs j no farmers, no noth
ing. A correspondent of the Jvaniaa Farm
r r says a large hog breeder in Illinois in
forms him that ho lias produced eleven
pounds of pork from a bushel of corn,
and seventeen pounds from a bushel of
wheat. He grinds tho wheat, pours
boiling water over it nud allows it to
stand Borne hours.
J. N. Sturtevant gave a whole lecture
in a few words when ho said: A mowing
machine is an extravagance for him who
is sparing of oil, or doos not keep the
nuts tight. The scythe is more economi
cal, lint when a man has a tit training
to manage the mower the value of it is
very great. So when persons adopt an
intelligent way of keeping cattle,
they will bo appreciative of thorough
bred cattle, and they will be profitable to
them, when not purchased at too high a
price.
There is n great difference of opinion
as to the value of tan as a mulch. A re
cent writer cites several instances in
which upon fruits and vegetables its
effects were disastrous. Several market
gardeners near Paris lost all their winter
lettuce by covering the beds with tan.
Auy ill result must be duo to tho fact
that tho bark was not thoroughly ex
hausted. When tho soluble matter is all
extracted from it the effect of tho tan can
only be a mechanical one. Where there
are such different experiences it will be
Bafe to expose the ton to the action of
rains some months before using it.
In selecting buds for propagating the
peach, I would not give much preference
to single, double, or triple buds, believ
ing that the single buds start the soonest
in the spring, the double buds the surest.
And in budding from yearly trees there
is not much but single buds, unless we
use very large buds. I prefer to have
bud-sticks just a little smaller than the
stocks, without regard to whether the
buds be single or otherwise. In propa
gating from bearing trees I find it best
to us e triplicate buds, as then there is al
ways wood as well as fruit buds. For a
budder that can tell fruit and wood
buds apart it will make no practical
difference, so far as my observations ex
tend. Wherever organic matter abounds iu
the soil a free use of bones and potash
will speedily restore it to its original fer
tility. Iu sandy soils organic matter iu
the form of peat, muck, or leaf mold
should bo combined with tho bones and
potash. The finer the bones are ground
the more speedy their action. If the
bones are ground in a raw state, that is,
without steaming or burning, and ground
very fine and mixed with three times
their weight of fine muck or peat or leaf
mold, and kept moist for three weeks
before being used, they will generate all
the ammonia necessary to the rapid
growth of wheat or other growing crops,
without the addition of other sub
stances. Vnlue of 1'lnNtcr.
An Ohio farmer writes the Wcntrrn
llural as follows: The past four sea
sons have been very dry, as all in this
part of the State will bear me witness;
and a large part, probably two-thirds, of
the clover seed sown in this vicinity dur
ing that time has been lost. Iu the
spring of 1873 I sowed one field of eight
acres to oats, thoroughly harrowed one
way, then sowed on clover seed and
cross-harrowed the field. I then put on
about three pecks of plaster to the acre,
and tho result was a good yield of oats
and a fine catch of clover, which grew
finely throughout tho summer, and last
season produced a large burden of num
ber one clover hay. This I am now feed
ing to my calves, for I prefer it to any
other when properly cured; for calves
should have the best. Tho saiuo week
iu which I seeded the eight-acre lot I
seeded one of four acres, and in precisely
the samo manner, save that I sowed
plaster on two of it. The other two
acres went without plaster. Now for the
result. Where the plaster was sown
the clover grew as finely as in the eight
acre lot, and produced as much hay last
season, while on that without plaster the
yield of oats was much lighter, and
what clover seed sprouted, or nearly all,
died from tho effects of the drought; so
much so that it would not pay for har
vesting. The soil wa3 sandy what we
term here sand-knolls and poor at that.
Apple OrclinrilM Deteriorating.
An interesting paper on this subject
was read before the Farmers' Club of
Now York, by Dr. J. V. C. Smith, which
excited much discussion among the mem
bers present. The prevalent belief ap
peared to be, however, that the condi
tions of cultivating apple orchards had
greatly changed in the past few' years, or
rather within a generation, and that the
greatest cause of the change was to be
found in the thoughtless and wasteful
destruction of forest trees which pro
vided for orchards the necessary cli
matic nourishment. The forests are
justly termed the conservative forces in
nature, in consequence of their power to
harmonize extremes of temperature.
They not only serve for a shelter from
the cold winds, but they maintain the
humidity of the atmosphere, and equal
ize tho temperature so as to suit the de
mands of vegetation. Cultivators of all
kinds of fruits, as well as of vegetables,
will in due time consider the importance
of a fact which has so long been neglect
ed at a risk not now to bo estimated.

SORE THROAT.
An Article to be Rend Carefully by Every
One. :
Cold manifests itself differently in dif
ferent people. In some it produces fever
and pain in the limbs, in others catarrh,
in still others sore throats. Whatever
part of the system is weakest will be at
tacked by the cold.
A large proportion of cases of deafness
comos from negloctod sore throat. This
is because of the intimate connection be
tween the throat and the ear by means of
tho eustachian tube. Hence the impor
tance of keeping the throat in a healthful
condition. The tendencies of sore throat
are to the worse and not to tho better;
hence auy affection of this part of the
body should receive prompt attention.
In caso of ordinary sore throat, the sim
plest and best treatment is the wet pack,
using a liuou cloth wrung from cold
water, and over this a knit or crotcheted
yarn band, four feet long and four inches
wide. Apply this two or tlrree nights in
succe sion, unless it is a very serious
case, when the pack should be kept on
during the day. If taken off in the
morning, wash the throat in very cold
water, rub dry with a coarse towel aud
with the hand. This will prevent taking
more cold.
Mucous membranes have tlrree kinds
of inflammation catarrhal, croupous, and
diphtheritic. Everybody knows how
the first appears; in the croupous a liquid
is poured out which collects on the outer
surface of the mucous coat, and forms a
membrane which can be peeled off or
removed without injury to the mucous
coat beneath it. In the diphtheritic the
liquid poured out infiltrates itself into
the mucous membrane, aud if forcibly
removod leaves the mucous coat raw and
sore. Diphtheria is blood poison. The
patient complains of feeling stupid; the
angle of the throat swells; there is likely
to be more or lest na"al catarrh; there
appear in the throat patches looking like
dirty wash-leather,- which, being re
moved, leave a raw spot; the odor of this
exudation is offensive, but the disease is
not usually contagious unless the exuda
tion comes in contact with the mucous
membrane of another individual. Hence
the greatest care should be taken that no
towel or drinking vessel or spoon used
by the patient tt uohes the lips of any
other person. Croup is inflammation of
the larynx and usually attacks the patient
suddenly in the night. The membrane
is formed in tho larynx, is white, and
extends each way up and down. In diph
theria it forms in the throat and extends
downward.
The food of a patient suffering from
diphtheria cannot be too nutritious and
stimulating. All physicians agree in
this. There is nothing better for the
patient than beef tea, made by putting a
pound or two of tenderloin into a glass
can, or bottle, sealing it tightly and im
mersing in water, gradually raised to the
boiling point, and kept there until the
juices of the meat are extracted. Give
as much of this as the patient will take.
Uld sherry is also prescribed as a stimu,

temperance principles.
A California Jury.
They have peculiar jurymen in San
Francisco. In January a Chinaman
named Wah Ah Toong was convicted of
murder. Recently, when a motion for
a new trial was being argued, one of the
jurymen made an affidavit to disorderly
conduct in the jury room, in which oc
curs the following development : When
they returned to the jury room, one of
the jurors produced a bottle of whisky
and several packs of cards. The jurors
played cards, some for money, all night,
during which time there wa3 one bottle
of whisky drank. Afterwards there was
a bottle of liquor of some kind, which
affiant took to be cocktails, introduced
into the jury room and drank by the
jurors during their deliberations upon
the question of the guilt of the accused.
During the night there were two or
three bottles of liquor drank by the
jurors. In playing cards crackers were
used, with which several jurors seemed
to be abundantly supplied, as a repre
sentative of money. Money was also
used by the players. During their de
liberations alliaut was frequently insulted
and threatened with personal violence.
It went so far that at one time alliaut
was compelled to call in the deputy
sheriff for protection. Had ailiant fully
understood the facts of the caso and tho
date when the murder was committed,
he never would have consented to the
verdict.
They Saw It.
Some time since a vessel was cast upon
the shore of Lake Michigan, and the
captain and crew were threatened with
death at any moment. Two horsemen
were seeii riding along the shore and
looking at the vessel. The captain in
voluntarily gave the sign of distress pe
culiar to a secret society, and it was
answered by the strangers, who at once
turned about and, at full speed, retraced
their steps. In three hours a tug and
life boat, manned entirely by members
of the society, arrived, rescued the fam
ished crew, and secured the vessel so
that she was afterward removed with
safety. N. B. This story will answer
for Masons, Odd Fellows, Good Temp
lars, Eechabites, Sons of Malta, Gran
gers, or any other secret society.

Giant Trees in California.
It has boen supposed, says a Califor
nia poper, that the Sierra sequoias, or
big trees of California, were confined to
a few small and isolated groves like
those known to tourists by the name of
Calaveras, Tuolumne, Merced, and Mari
posa, scattered at considerable intervals
along the western slope of tho moun
tains for a distance of sixty miles. It
was known that a collection of big trees
larger than any of those iu the Mari
posa and Calaveras regions exists in
Fresno county, where Thomas' mill has
for several years been sawing this red
wood of the Sierra to supply the mar
ket of Visalia, but it was discovered last
summer that this body of big-tree tim
ber is not properly a grovo, but a forest
extending for not less than seventy miles
in a northwest and southeastward direc
tion, with a width in some places of ten
miles, and interrupted only ly the deep
canyons which cut across the general
course of the forest, and reduce the level
to au elevation below that at which the
tree is found in a wild condition, al
though when cultivated it thrives in all
our valleys.
Different persons have traced the
forest from the basin of the Tule river;
iu latitude thirty-six deg. and twenty
min., across those of the Kaweah and
Kings to that of San the Joaquin. The
elevation has not been carefully mea
sured, but is supposed to vary from
4,000 to C, 000 feet. At one point, and
one only, this forest is accessible by a
wagon rea l, and this is at Thomas' mill,
forty-eight miles from Visalia. Unlike
the groves further north, this forest
consists mainly and in some places al
most exclusively of the big trees, and
there are also a multitude of small ones
in all the ages of growth, some just
sprouting, and others saplings only two
or three feet through. The largest
standing tree as yet measured is forty
feet in diameter; a charred stump the
tree itself having disappeared mea
sures forty-one feet across. A tree
twenty-four feet iu diameter four feet
above the ground, is precisely the same
thickness sixty feet higher. A fallen
trunk is holiow throughout, and the
hole is large enough to drive a horse
and buggy seventy-two feet in it as in a
tunnel.

is so abundant and excellent in quality,

A QUARTER of a CENTURY'S
Trial has Demonstrated
their Superiority.
" WHEELER & WILSOyS XEW jVO.
6 MAClIIXJi must eventually supersede all
others now run tvith which it conies in competition.
We recommend for it the highest award uhieh it
is in the poucr of the Institute to bestow." From
the unanimous Iteport of the five Judges
of the American Institute. New York, 1874.
The Board of Managers unanimously ap
proved the report, nnd jecotnmended for this
machine the Gold Medal of the Institute.
The Board of Direction unanimously ap
proved this recommendation, and awarded
the Gold Medal to Wheeler & Wilson, the
only gold medal awarded for a Sewing
Machine by the American Institute for
many years.
The Austrian. Official Report of the Vienna
Exposition pronounced il " the marvtl of the
Exposition," and added, "this universal machine
sews the heaviest leather harness and lite finest
game uith a truly pearl stitch."

"What the Leading Manufacturers of
Boots and Shoes say of
WHEELER & WILSON'S
NO. 6
Machine.
Sewing
We, manufacturers of boots and shoes,
are using Wheeler & Wilton's New No. G
Sewing Machine in nil kinds of Btitching
on our work, nnd confidently believe that it
will Biipersede all others in this branch of
manufactures, for the following reasons :
1. The work done by this machine is
superior to that of any other in variety,
amount, excellence and beauty.
2. This machine is more durable than any
other of its class, requiring much less outlay
for repctirs and renewal of parts.
3. It does tho cording t r staying of button
holes in a most elegant and substantial man
ner, without the expense of royalty.
In short, because by the use of' this ma
chine we can turn out superior xnrk at less
cost than with any other.
Signed by many.
f3r It is fast superseding all other ma
chines for leather work.
WBEELER & WILSON'S
NEW NO. 7
Machine,
now for the first time introduced to the
public, ranks in excellence with their fam
ous No. 6 Machine, but has some moditica.
tions adapting it to special classes of work.
The Tailor will find it as well suited to his
work as is No. 6 to leather work. It might
properly lie termed the Tailor's Machine,
