AGRICULTURE. KILL YOUR ANIMALS EARLY.— There is great economv in so feeding ani mals lor meat that they will mature early. It has been prove i by experi ment that less food is required to make a pound of meat in any animal the younger It is. Take, for example, a steer fed for beef, he will make a far greater gain on a bushel of meal, or a given quantity of any suitable feed, before he is a year old than when he has become two years old, and more at that age than when he is three. This being considered a fact it is econ omy to feed well, even to force the an imal and have it at the shambles at the eailiest possible period. Bullocks, as the English people call them, steers in our own vocabulary, can be made as fat and as meaty at two years thus ted as others at three fed in the ordin ary manner. This makes a saving of the food necessary to keep, not fatten, the animal of the third year, which is in itself a handsome gain. Besides this saving, the beef of a Aye-hundred pound steer at two is better than that of the same at a year older. Tender beef is that which is mad 3 young and rapidly. The reader will see the double profit in the course recommend ed. Not only is this the case with the steer, but with the lamb and the pig. In fact, the most su c.ssful pork growers slaughter their animals be f re they reach the end of a year, from eight to ten months being generally considered the nust profitable limit. We are awaie of the prejudice we are enooun ering by the assumed, but facts are stubborn, and wiil not yield to any preconceived opinions. The farmer, tome imes dteeps his hog until it is eighteen monies old, and does so 011 the ground of economy, when the fact is if he would feed well from the first, and not starve the creature all the summer to make it fatten when he be gan to teed he would see a difference. To make good pork feed generously always, giving such feed as its nature rt quires 10 make growth, and to steers as much as the appetite demands. The re uk will be better inea; and larger profits. THE FRUIT GAKDIX—II every family, especially every farmer's family, has not an abundance ol small fruits, it is not our fault, for we have pleaded for them year alter year. It is better to have them in a plot by themselves, with a lenceto keep out intruders, bus this is not absolutely necessary. If it must be, grow them In the vegetable garden, rather than not have them. Do rot rut it cff Win never the start is made it must he a whole year before any fruit can be gathered. Begin now and next year the family will rejoice. The earlier the planting is done the better will be the crop. As soon as ihe leaves of the curt ant and goose berry are fairly txpanded, the worm may be looked for. The eggs are laid on the under side of the lower leaves, and if theie are removed or destroyed inueh trouble is averted. It any rag ged leaves are seen the worm is at work. Apply powdered white helle bore stirred in water, a tablespoonful to the paillul. Grapes may still be set, and there is always a place for a grape vine upon the smallest place. With young vims, only one shoot should be allowed to grow. Rub off other buds as they start. If tender kinds of rasp berries were covered last fall, they should be lied to stake 3 or trelises. Hoo CHOLERA REMEDlES.—Every body knows that it is the easiest thing in the world to get certificates to the virtues of a patent medicine. When the hog cholera attacks a herd or a neighborhood, there always comes a time when the disease has run its course and subsides. It just at this point any remedy has been used, It gets the credit of doing the business, when, In fact, it was nature's own work. ID another case a man escapes the disease on his larm, while bis neigbbers have all suffered from its attacks. If he has been using anything as a preventive during this period, he is quite willing to give that thing the credit for his immunity, while, as a matter of fact, similar cases are report ed every day where no remedy what ever is used. Very much depends upon proper attention to sanitary regula tions; and when these are promptly resorted to the ravages of ttie disease may usually he cbecked without the aid ol medicine. SHRINKAGE.— Corn loses one-fifth by dryirg, and wheat one-fortieth. From this the estimate is made that it is more profitable for farmers to sell un sbelled corn in the fall at 75 cents than at $1 a bushel in th : following Spring, and that wheat at 11.25 in December is equal to $1.50 in the succeeding June. In the cate of potatoes—taking those that rot and are otherwise lost, to gether with shrinkage—there is but little doubt-that between October and June the loss to the owner who holds them is not less than 33 per cent. THE moistnre In which one kind of seed would flourish would be destruc tive to another class, causing them to rot instead of forcing growth. The beat necessary to start one class of seeds would dry up and utterly destroy the gum of another class. The appli cation of rules requires a mixture of common sense and observation. THERE is an idea vet prevalent among some farmes that dry stock needs but little care at ibis season of the year, and that almost any kind of food will answer for them. This Is a serious mistake. Cotton-picking by machinery has long been a dream of the Southern planters. The risk of planting revolves about tho picking season. The bolls open ir regularly, but they must be plucked when they are at a certain stage of ripeness, or be lost in whole or part. S. R. Cockertil, Vice President of the Mississippi Valley Planters 1 Associa tion, believes he has arrived at a solu ofthe problem. He saya, that it is a fact that the bolls will continue to ripen and open in due timo if the plant is cut up by the roots and stacked. There is no practical difficulty in sep arating the cotton from the boli by machinery, if the stalks can be gather ed and fed at one time. The apparatus for this process has been invented and works well. But everything depends on the truth of Mr. Cockerill's asser tion that cotton in its last stages will ripen in the stack. Jiecent investigations have shown the depth of the ocean between latitudes sixty degrees north and sixty degrees south to be nearly three miles, or 2,500 fathoms. The greatest depth which has been ascertained by sounding is five miles and a quarter, or 4,620 fathoms, and occurs in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. This represents a thick ness of the water layer nearly equal to the height of the lottlest known moun tain. To'xchiten silver boil It in a solution <f one part cream of tartar, two parts common salt and fifty pares water. THE HOUSEHOLD. Here is a recipe for coffee cake which is sure to please any one who Is fond of coffee "ns a beverage.'* Take one cup of strong coffee, one cup of molasses, one cup of butter, one cup of sugar, one of raisins, and one of cur rants, four cups of flour, one nutmeg grated, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, half a teapoonful of soda or paleratus, mix the butter, molasses and sugar to gether, stir the spices into the flour, dissolve the soda,stir the coffee and flour in by degrees, and lastly put in the fruit. Bake in a slow oven, butter the tin well, and unless you are sure your oven will not bake too hard, you had better put a peper in the bottom of the tin. This cake keeps well. With more fruit it makes a good fruit cake. Dumas's Famous Salad. Pumas himself describes it as a salad of a high tautasy, of a composite order, and formed of live principal ingredients. Rounds of baet rmt, slices of celery, truffles chopped, harebells with thin tufts and boiled potatoes. And here shall follow the great novelist's recipe for making the salad, or rather the mixture. "I place," says Dumas "m my salad-bowl for two guests the yolK ol an egg, and stir it in oil till it be comes a paste. To this paste I add chervil, minced tunney, pounded an chovies, mustard of Mailie, a large spoonful of soy, gherkins and the whites of eggs, also minced. Then di lute the whole with the best vinegar 1 can procure, and my servant stirs it; while over all I cast a pinch of 'papri co,' an Hungarian pepper." Lamb Cutlets aux Fktits Fois. — Take a pound of underdone roast lamb cut It in small pieces,then pound them in a mortar to make a smooth paste ; sessou with pepper and salt, beat up the yolks of two eggs and mix smooth ly with the mass. Press it out to the thickness of a lamb cutlet; with a sharp knife cut it into pieces shaped like cutlets, dip them In beaten egg, then in bread-crumbs and fry in hoc lard. on a hot platter surround ing a pile of boiled green peas. This is one of the nicest w ays ot using up cold meat; cold chicken or turkey may be used instead of lamb or mut ton —and even beef Is possible. RICH CUSTARD OR CREAM CAKE.— Three-fourths cupful butter, two cups sugar, one and one-fourth pints dour, Ave eggs, one teaspoonful baking pow der, one cup milk. Rub the butter and sugar to a white light cream, add tli3 eggs two at a time, beating live minutes between each addition. Then add the milk. Sift the flour with the baking powder and add it the la*t thing. Mix this well, but not any more than is necessary. l'he seoner it is put into the oven after the addi tion ot the baking powder and tlour the better. Bake in jelly tins, in a hot oven tifteen minutes. LEMON TIE WITH CORN STARCH.— Make ready the following ingredients: One heaping tablespoonful of corn starch, one cupful .of boiling water, one cupful of sugar, one egg, one tablespoonful of butter and one lemou. Moisteu the corn starch with a little cold water, theu add the boiliug wa ter; stir this over the fire for two or three minutes, allowing it to boil and cook the starch; add the butter aim sugar. Remove the mixture from tne fire, and when cold enough so as not to cook the eirg add a weil-beaten one with the juice iud giated rind ol the lemon, 'ibis quantity makes one pie, and should be baked with the crust. ELFCTION CAKE.— One pound of but ter, one pound of one pound of raisins, two pounds of curra nts,one pound of citron, twelve eggs, one cup of molasses, one cup of cider,splce au d grated peel of lemon ; beat the butter and sugar, also the eggs; stone and chop the raisins; wash and dry the currants; cut the citron in strips. After beating butter and sugar to gether, add the eggs, then molasses, fruit, spice and flour. Bake In loaves in a moderate oven. Is very nice, and keeps fresh a long time. MOTHS AND FURS.—A lady writes: I have for many years tried camphor as a preventive against moths, and it has never failed either in furs, wool ens, or feathers; if the camphor gum is rolled In F©ft wivts paper there will be no discoloration irom it, neither does it appear to fade the fur, as some seem to think. I put a good-sized piece In the paekage and put the arti cles in newspapers. . CHOCOLATE.— Put into a coffee-pot set in boiling water, one quart of new milk (or a pint each of cream and milk); stir into it three heaping table spoonfuls of grated chocolate mixed to a paste with cold milk; let boil two or three minutes and serve at once. If not wanted so rich use half water and milk. A CKLEKRAT ED physician says that a mixture of oatmeal aad beef tea is very useful in giving strength to weak patients, and gives the following as ine best way oi making it: "Take two tablespovsnluls of cold water; pour in to this a pint of strong beef tea; boil It eight minutes; keep stirring all the time; it should be very smooth; if lumpy, pass through a sieve." BUTTERED LOBSTER.— BoiI and break up the lobster, take out the meat, cut it into small bits, and put it into a stewpan with plenty of fresh butter, a little pepper, salt, and vinegar and stir till it is hot. burround the mince on the dish when served will a bor der of water-cress brightened here and there with a lobster claw. CELERY FRITTERS. —BoiI some thick but tender stalks of celery in salted water; when done dry them on a cloth cut them in equal lengths about one and-a-half inches, dip them in batter, fry to a golden color, sprinkle fine salt well over, and serve. • LABELS placed in linseed oil and soaked will hold paint marks plain lor years. "BUB, did you ever think?" asked a grocer, recently, as he measured out a half-psck of potatoes, "that these potatoes contain sugar, water and starch?" "No, 1 didn't," replied the boy, 'but I heard mother say put beans and peas in your coffee, and about a pint of wa ter in every quart of milk sold." HHK was a young lady fresh from boarding-school, and she went into the laundry to learn how to iron shirts. bhe did not succeed very well, and she said: "Oh, Katy, I shall never he abte,to get any polish on this bosom."

'•AlN'T she flue looking?" remarked a man as a lady pas h! along the street. "Yes," replied a young fel ow; "1 regard her as the finest looking wo man in Cleveland. In fact, I am in love with her." "Isn't she a married lady?" "Yes, but I fe'l in love with her some time ago, and 1 suppose tha) 1 shall always love her." 'Did you ever tell her of your love?' "Oil, yes, and I know that she loves me." "Does her husband know it?" "Yes, lor one day while I was visit ing the lady he entered the room Just as 1 put my arms around her." "What did he do?" "lie didn't do anything." * Curious kind of a man." "No, for I did not expect him to do anything." "Why?" "Because the lady is my mother." A .Tanksvillk man Instructed a new servant how to order meat from the market through the telephone, and then told her, after ordering the meat, to put her nose to the transmitter, to see If the meat was good. The next day she ordered meat and as she was smelling at the trans mi tier, the man's bird dog passed through the 100 m. The dog had boou haying a tight with a skunk. When the servant got a smell of the dog, she yelled through tho telephone: "Keep yeze owld s rong mate, and slnd some fish. 11 jw ly mother, that wild drive a buzzard away from a dead horse.

A MAN in Guilford, Conn., who was too poor to indulge in any luxuries other than children, was presented by a loving but unreckoning wife with triplets—three boys—and he sought for some family to adopt them. Mr. Clark was rather inclined to take them, but his good w.fe thought om would perhaps be enough.

One afternoon this boy set tire to the wood-shed, and crawling up on an adjoining fence, covered bis mo ther's hair comb with a bit of paper and played "Way Down Upon the Swauee River" while the conflagra tion proceeded. He took his meals standing for several diys afterward. As an innocent-looking old man was going up Washington street, a drar man nodded at him and asked: "Want a dray ml-ter?"

Nothing in medicine is more simple, rational, prompt and certain. It is not an accidental blunder of inexperience, but the scientific solution of a most difficult problem, by an accomplished physician of 40 years' practice and study. Anakesis is a happy combination of a soothing poultice, supporting instrument and curative medicine. It alleviates at onoe the most excruciating pain; it holds up the raw, sensitive tumors, and by firm, continued pressure and medica tion applied to the swollen veins is able to cure the most inveterate cases of blind or bleeding piles.
