AGRICULTURE.
MUTTON.— Mutton is better adapted for a
food lor persons living in the country than
beef. Most farmers are situated so far
from a market that they can not obtain
fresh meat to eat during the summer, when
the hard labor in the fields demands
an excellent diet. They cannot profit
ably dispose of the fiesh of a steer
slaughtered during hot weather even if
they have an ice-house, One-quarter is
as large a quantity as even a large family
can consume before danger of spoiling
occurs. It is difficult to cure beet in the
summer so it will be certain to keep, even
if one has a supply of ice. Tim lils iq&yfl
meSt'lrom hogs during the summer. It is
more difficult to cure pork thau beef in the
summer; and besides pork is not well
suited lor a genend article of diet during
very warm weather. Tae home supply of
fresh meat in summer, however, can read
ily be obtained if a farmer keeps a flock of
sheep. Mutton can be kept much loßger in
a fresh state than either beef or pork. Be
sides even the largest varieties of sheep are
so much smaller than 3teers or hogs that
their carcasses can be disposed of in a much
shorter time. If a family is too small to
consume all the meat furnished by a sheep
a part cau be salted. The meat is so thin,
as compared with beef or pork, that every
portion of it will absorb a sufficient amount
of salt and sugar even when the weather is
very warm. Alauy persons know nothing
of the merits of coru beef. It has never
occured to some farmers that mutton could
be cured for future use. They corn and
dry beef, salt and smoke pork, but if
necessary eat mutton, if indeed they e, t
it all, when it is fresh. Now, any part ot
a sheep furnishes excellent eating when
it is salted and boiled. In many respects
it is superior to corned beef. It is more
highly flavored and is better relished when
eaten with potatoes and garden vegetables;
stewed with sweet herbs it is a rare delicacy.
The hams and shoulders of mutton are ex
cellent when salted aud smoked. The
tongues of sheep are superior to those of
cattle and pigs. Mutton is more easily di
gested than most kinds of meat, aud in
delicacy ranks next to the flesh of chickens
aud small game fowls.
MUD AND SAUCERS. —Take any common
saucer or plate, into which put sand to the
depth of an inch or so, then prepare cut
tings in the usual manner in the sand close
enough to touch each other. The sand is
to be watered to bring it to the condition
of mud. The saucer with the cuttings is
then placed on the shelf of the gretn house,
in the hot bed, or in the sunny window of
any room in the dwelling house; in each
case fully exposed to the sun and never
shaded But one condition is essential to
success —until cuttings become rooted, the
sand must be kept continually saturated
with water, ami always in the condition of
mud. To do this the saucer must be
watered at least once a day with a very
line wateriug-pot, aud the watering must
be done very gently, else the cuttings may
be washed out. There is every probability
that at least ninety per cent, of all the cut
tings put in will take root, provided they
were in the proper condition, aud the tem
perature has not been lower than sixty-live
degrees nor above one hundred degrees.
The cuttings will root (according to kiuds
and the temperature) in from six to twenty
day a Verbenas, heliotropes, fuchsias, etc.,
root in a week, while roses, carnations, or
azaleas take two, three or four weeks.
When rooted they should be potted m light
soil, in pots from two to three inches in di
ameter, and treated caiefully by standing
and watering for two or three days.
GAKDES SEEDS. —In purchasing seeds for
the garden it should be borne in mind that
a certain amount is necessary to produce a
maximum crop. One ounce of seeds will
produce 1,000 asparagus plants, 3,000 cab
bage, 4,000 celery, 2,000 egg plants, 3,000
Kohl Kabbi, 3,000 lettuce, 2,000 peppers,
2,000 tomatoes, 500 rhubarb and 3,000
chicory. One ounce of the seeds named
will be sufficient for the number of feet of
drill following: carrot, 150 feet; onion,
100; parsley, 150; parsnip, 200; radish,
100; rutabaga, 205; spinach, 200.
BUGS. —There is no agent that will pro
tect the vines from the ravages of the
striped bug and squash bug so effectually
as Paris green when applied to the vines as
it is to potatoes for destroying the beetle.
It is also efficient in destroying the rose
bug.
An unexplained objection to the electric
light arises from its alleged evil effects on
the eyes. European observers state ihat
the frequent variations la intensity to which
the light is subject give rise to sudden
and frequent changes in the pupil, aud,
consequently, in the "accommodation" of
the eye, by which is meant that alternate
contraction and dilation of the pupil, by
which it suits itself to the variations of
light. Such a light, therefore, causes not
only muscular fatigue, but also a consider
able degiee of blurring and indistinctness
in the retinal image. The eye suffers
both when the light is too dim and when
it is too bright. In the former case the ob
ject must be brought close to be clearly
seen, and increased accommodative effort
is called for, which in most cases re
sults in near-sigh) edness. In the latter
case, the simple intensity of the light pro
duces undue contraction of the pupil, and
an increase of tension within the eye.
An America7i has invented a berth,
which is already adopted by several steam
ship lines, that is hung like a compass on
double pivots, so as to conform itself to the
motion o f the vessel. It occupies only an
inch more room than the ordinary berth,
but is so arranged that those who whh to be
"rocked in thecradie of the deep "can enjoy
that pleasure by inserting a plug into the
mechanism. As the majority of people are
sick only when they stand up, the man
who is to really dimmish the discomforts
of ocean travel must invent away ol
double-jointingthe vessel itself. The easiest
way would be to make a vessel that would
float on the crest of the waves without
getting a broken back.
A paper lately read nefore an English
society slates that British heads are grow

on an average one-seventh of an inch dur

Prof. Huxley declares the supply of
herring in the sea to be practically inex
haustible, and nothing which man can do
m the ordinary way of destiuctiou will
ever appreciably diminish the stock.

coveries in the liquifaction of gases have

Mr. W. Ground maintains that the
philosophy of Herbert Spencer is hopeless

M. Jauemann proposes to manufacture

DOMESTIC.
A HINT TO HOUSEKEEPERS. —1 believe in
systematic housekeeping when not carried
to excess. It :s very foolish to do work
when you are not able, because it is the
regular day for it. When a person is not
well, it is "best to do as you can, not as you
would like. lam never very well, but
still manage to get through with all my
work. Wkeu Ido not feel able to do all
my washing in one day, let me tell you
how I manage. I commence in the aiter
noon. (I know plenty of people will
laugh, hut never mind.) I clean all up iu
the morning, as carefully as though 1 were
wayVl wash ali
the white clothes andimve them ready to
hang up iu the morning. Then 1 have
the night to rest iu. Lit some poor tired
wouiau try it, aud see if it is not better
than doing all in one day, and be then sick
two or three days alt rwaril.
MINCED FOWL. —CoId roast fowl, a hard
boiled egg, salt aud pepper (or cayenne) to
taste, three tahlespoonfuls of new milk or
cream, half au ouuee ot butter, oue table
spoonful of flour, a tablespoon! ul of lemon
ju.ee. Mince the fowl and remove all
skin and bones; put the lames, skin and
trimmings into a stewpau. with one small
onion, if agreeable to patient, and nearly
one-halt pint of water; let this stew for
an hour, then strain liquor; chop the egg
small; m x the egg with the fowl, add
salt aud pepper; put in the gravy anil
other ingredients; let the whole just boil,
and serve with sippets of toastod bread.
PRKFI MKRS are aware of the curious fact
that some of our sweetest and most deli
cately scented flowers are of no va ue for
pertumery. For example, no proeess has
yet been discovereii#y which the fragrance
oi sweet-brier aud eglantine cau be extract
ed and preserved, but a good imitation is
produced by a compound of neroli oil, with
alcoholic extracts of rose pomade and ot
orauge flowers. Lily of the valley, which
is likewise unavailable to the perfumer, is
welt imitated by a combination of vanilla,
extract of tuberose, jasmiue aud otto of al
monds. Lilies are liille used in perfumery,
their odors being too powerful.
UNDER no circumstances should matches
be allowed to "lie around loose'' ou mau
tlepiece or shelf. What are known as
Darlor matches light readily, aud are as
much more dangerous than the common
matches as they are more convenient. The
general stock snould be kept in a tia box,
which is not to bw opened or taken from
except by the master or mistress of the
house. For each room where matches are
used there should be a metal match sa e of
some kind, and the matches are to be kept
in that aud nowhere else.
GUARAPO OR PINEAPPLE SHRUB. —This is
a South Amer can recipe. To lour quaits
of water add two good cups of sugar aud a
large pineapple chopped hue, with all the
juice that runs from it. Place the mixture
in a narrow neck water-jar or junk-bottle.
Let it ttand where the the heat is steady till
it begins to ferment. lu very warm
weather it will need to stand about two
days. When ready, place it on the ice till
very cold and serve, it is delicious half
frozen, but a little more sugar and pine
apple should be added at fin;t.
PUTTING AWAY WINTER CLOTHES. —Great
care must be exercised iu putting away
winter clothes;cleau paper sacks, or even
old cotton or linen pillow cases will do to
hold them, providing there are no holes in
them. Take the garments that are to be
laid away outdoors on a summer day, let
theurhang ou a line for several hours, brush
and beat the dust all out, then put into the
bags, tie them up, so that no moth can get
in, and lay them on clean, dry shelves, or
hang them up.
A SIMPLE insecticide can be made as fol
lows : Place a quantity of water suffi
cient for use in a kettle to boil; put in al 1
the alum it will dissolve; when boiling
hot, with a brush apply the solution to ail
cracks, closets, bedsteads and other places
wLere insects are foutd. Ants, bed-bugv,
cockroaches and creeping things are killed
by it, while there is no danger of poison
ing the family or injuring the property.
JF the housewife is not watchtul,clothes
pins and lines will be left out over night to
be ruined by rust and mildew. The pins
should be counted and the lines wiped be
fore being put away for the week. If not,
dark spots and dingy stripes will be found
on the clothe-. Every housekeeper should
provide the laundress with a pair of mit
tens for hanging out clothes, to be used for
no other purpose.
PORK FRUIT CAKE. —Take 2 cups of su

slowly for a few hours. Half the rule is
good for a smaller loaf.
CREAM CAKES. —One cup boiling water,
£ cup butter melted in the water, 1 cup
(heaping) flour stirred into the water.
When all the flour is in, take it off the
stove and scatter over it a good-sized pinch

FLOWERS 'FOR THE DINNER-TABLE.—A
pretty way to arrange such flowers as the
sunflower, Drge oxeye dais}', hollyhock,or
any of the old fashioned large common
blossoms, is in a basin of some beauty in
itself, not as a bouquet, but floating on the
water, as it were, surrounded by appropri
ate leaves.
OMELET.— Take 6 eggs, beat the yolks
and whites separately, 1 teaspoonful flour,
mix smoothly with a cup of milk and a lit
tle salt. Pour into a buttered spider;
when partly done, double it like a turn

HUMOROUS.
WE have freqeuntly wondered why a lady
living in a suburbau city or village, and
whose husband goes to and fro on the
trains, should get sick some day and say
pathetically that the only thing that can
cure her is the knowledge that her husband
has brought from New York for the chil
dren a hobby horse and two or three little
red wagons. The problem has at last been
solved. Robins walked into the house
proudly with the hobby horse and the lit
tle red wairons, placed them ou the Moor,
and was pleased when the children laugh
ed, aud his wife's eves sparkled, while her
vubun gtuv> iuuu> with health. Mie drew
his head down to her ear, and whispered,
with delight, "Darling, you have been
flirting on the trains a long while. Now
that girls have seen you with the hobby
horse and wagons they know that you are
a married mau I'' But her triumph was
not complete. He replied, "Dear, 1 got
old Mr. Smith to buy them up for me, and
have promised to buy a ticket for his struw
berry festival."

The Ueanou Why.
The tonic tffeot of Kidney-Wort is produced
by its cleansing aud purifyiug action on the
blood. Where there is a t raveily deposit in
the urine, or milky, ropv urine from disorder
ed kidDeys. it onrte without fail. Constipation
and piles readilv yield to its cathartic and
h-aling power. Put up in dry vegetable form
or liquid (very concentrated), either act prompt
and sure.— TßOY BUDGET.
An Infallible Remedy.
No longer like Job need the afflicted millions
cry out: "Oh. that my grief were weighed
and my calamity laid in tbe balance! Ye are
forgers of lies; ye are all physicians of no
value." For an absolutely safe, reliable aud
certain cure fur J'ile*, the most exa*]>eratiiig,
painful of all diseases, ha* fteeu fouwi by Dr.
Silsbee. Half a milhou of sufferers with piles
testify to the virtues of Anakesis. Physicians
of all schools endorse it and prescribe it;
500.000 persons have used it iu all stages aud
varieties of piles, and none without benefit.
It has been prououueed tbe "happiest medi
cal discovery of tho age," and Dr. Hilsbee, an
experienced aud scieutiffc >l. D. of 40 years'
pnwtioo, "• hanttfactov ihi race." No rem
edy so simple and yet so infallible as Anakesis
for Piles has been discovered. It is a happy
combination of tbe soothing poultice of tne
English, the instrument of the French, and tbe
curative medication of the American surgeons.
It affords immediate relief from tho most ex
cruciating pain, holds up the painful tumors,
aud ultimat' ly cures the worst cases of Piles.
Samples of "ANAKESIS" are sent free to all
