DOMESTIC. MEDICINES — We are a medictne-taking people—at least to far too great au extent. "Wbat shall I take?" is asked far more often than "What shall I do?" Tne aged and experienced among medical men, as a rale, recommend but Jit tie—and that only when indicated by common sense. But the people will take it —buying it from peddlers, horse-jockeys, grocers, etc.,alt as ignorant of the nature of the remedies aud of diseases as themselves. In most instancis, when feverish, if one would bathe, sweat, fast, breatne more of the pure air of heaven, bask iu the sun, driuk freely of pure water, keep calui aud quiet, give up tobacco aud whisky, the fever would itarve. Pure air renovates the blood far more than sarsaparills; the light of the suu ts one of the best anodyne*; good fcOd is one of the best tonics; last ing and exercise are auioug the best ap pellors. if we will but take care of our selves, eat only plain food aud ouly what nature demauds, cease to overwork aud fret, be regular iu all our habits aud sleep all we can fairly, we shall take less medicine. CONSTIPATION* may be removed by drink ing a tumbler of oold-water on rising iu the morning. To OBTAIN* a eood night's sleep, sponge the entire length of the spine with hot water for teu or fifteen minutes. FOR chapped skin, take of oxide of zinc, one dram; lard, two ounces. It is also good for any kind of sores. FOB neuralgia, take a good li&ndtul of the common field or Canada thistle. Pour two quarts of boiling water ou, and boil down to three pints; take a wiueglass full three limes a day before meals. The following is recommended as a cure for neuralgic headache: Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a small cup ot strong coffee. This will usually afford iuune diate relief in ueuralgic headache. Tea ordinary increases neuralgic pain, aiui ought not be used by persons afflicted with it. GLYCERINE IN FLATULENCY AND ACIDITY. —Au old gentleman, who for many years suffered from distressing acidity, read iu a daily paper that glycerine added tou ilk prevents Us souring, aud he reasoned thus: "If glycerine prevents milk turning sour, why should it not t prevent me turning sour?" and he resolved to try the efficacy of glycerine for his acidity. The success of his experiment was complete, and when ever tormented by his old malady he cures himself by a recourse to glycerine. In deed, he can now take articles of food from which he was previously compelled to ab stain, provided always 'hat he takes a dram of glycerine immediately before, with, or directly afier his food. Since this was made public sevi ral physicians have pre scribed glycerine in acidity and flatulency with the most happy results. BEDS.— Our beds are our night clothes and ought to be kept as clean as our shirts and coats. Woolen blaukets are healthier than quilts; put a heavy United States army tdauket over a kettle full of hot water and see how fast the steam makes its way though the weft; a quilt would stop it like an iron I'd, and thus tend to check the exhalations of the human body In order to disinfect a quilt you have first to loosen the pressed cotton; a wooleD blanket can be steamed and dried in a couple of hours. Fur similar reason a straw tick is better than a hor.-ehair mattress, though a woven-wire mattress is perhaps preferable to both. Feather beds are a recognized nuisance. Children over 10 years should sleep alone, or at least under separate blaukets, if the bed steads do not reach around. To fix pencil marks so as they will not rub out, take well skimmed milk and dilute with an equal bulk of water. Wash the pencil marks (whether wriiiDe or drawing) with the I.quid, usiug a soft flat camel-hair brush, and avoiding all rubbing. Piaca it upjn a flat board to dry. WHEN water has once been made to boil, the fire may be very much lessened, as but little heat is required to keep it at a boiliDg point. There is no advantage whatever in making water boil furiously; the heat will escape iu steam, without raising the heat of the water. To HEAL CUTS AND WOUNDS.— The leav es oi geranium are an excellent application for cuts, when the skin is rubbed off, aud Other wounds of the kind. One or two leaves must be bruised and applied on linen to the part, and the wound will become cicatrized in a very short time. ROSE WATER. — Take otto of roses, twen ty five drops, rub it in with an ounce of white sugar and lour drachms of carbonate of magnesia; then add gradually half a gallon of water and four ounces of proof spirits. AFTER buttering your cake-tins scatter a little flour over them and the cake is absolutely certain not to stick to the tin. If your oven is likely to bake hard at the bottom put a paper in the bottom of the tin. Butter it well first. NOTHING IS better to clean silver with than alcohol and ammoni; after rubb ng with this take a little whitening or a soft cloth and polish in this way; even frosted silver, which is so difficult to clean, may be easily made clear and bright. GLUE frequently cracks because of the dryness of the air in rooms warmed by stoves. An Austrian paper reeommends the addition of a little chloride of calcium to glue to prevent this. HOUSKEEPERS will find that zincs may be scoured with great ecomony of time and strength by using either glycerine or creosote mixed with a little diluted sul phuric acid. IT is said two parts tailow and one of resin, melted together and applied to the soles of new boots or shoes, as much as the leather will absorb, will double their wear. CHAPPING of the hands, which is one of the most disagreable inconveniences of cold weather, can be easiely prevented by rubbmg the hands with powdered starch. • WOODWORK strongly impregnated with tungstate of soda or silica of soda—by treatment in a strong aquous solution of these salts—will be found to be quite unin flammable. To brown sugar for sauce or puddings, put the sugar in a perfectly dry saucepan. If the pan is the least bit wet, the sugar will burn and you will spoil your saucepan. STEEL knives may be saved from rusting by being rubbed with mutton tallow, wrap ped in paper, and put into a baizelined chest. CELLARS thoroughly treated with white wash made yellow with copperas will not be considered a desirable habitation for rats and mice. AGRICULTURAL. WALKING HORSES —Running tho risk of being set down as an old fogy, we will say that in our opinion the best gait a horse ever had for every day use is a walk; but it is a gait that uot one iu teu possess es. Colts are not trained to walk. Young America wants more sp >ed. Horses t rained to walk fast would be a greater benefit to farmers in general than fast trotters, as al most all of his wotk has lo be done with a walk. Horses that are engaged in hauling on the roads, that are trained to walking fast, will make a longer distance m a day than horses will that are urged to trot at every couvenieut place, because, wlieu a horse commences to walk alter a trot, he will go much slower than his cointinn gait if kept on a walk, and the consequence is that he will loose more than he gained. Where horseback traveling is indulged in, especially over muddy roads, any other gait lhau walking is rendered impossible, aud yet a horse that has beeu trained to walking last even over bad roads, will make from four to five miles an hour, but since the introduction of light wagons a horse woula he expected to make a greater distance wheu hauling the wagon over the same road, though it would be by the aid of the whip, aud very much to the prejud ice of the poor auiiual. These one-horse buggies hsve put horse back rioing out of fashiou, aud now a good walkiug horse is more rare thau one that can trot a mile iu less thau three minutes. It is, however, to the interest of the farmer that he should traiu his horse to walk fast. How CHICKENS GET OUT OF SHELLS.— Take an egg out oi a nest on which a hen has had her lull time; carefully holding it to the ear, turning it around, you will fiud the exact SJHJI which the little fellow is picking ou the inside of the shell; this he will do until the inside shell is perforated, and the shell is forced outward as a small scale, leaving a hole. Now, if you will take one of the eggs in this condition from uuder the hen, remove it to the house or some other suitable place, put it iu a box or nest, keeping it warm aud moist, as near the temperature of the hen as possi ble (which may be done by laying it be tween two bellies ot warm water upon or wool), and lay a glass over the box or nest, then you can sit or stand, as is most convenient, and witness the true modus operandi. Now watch the little fellow work his way into the world, and you will be amused aud instructed, as I have often been. Afier he has got his opening he commences a nibbiiug motion with the poiut of the upper bill ou the outside of the shell, always working to the right (if you have the large end of the egg from you and the hole upward) until he has worked his way almost around, say with one-half au inch in t perfect circle; he then forces the cap or but eud of the shell off, aud then has a chance to straight en his neck, thereby loosening his legs somewhat, and so, by their help, forcing the body from the shell. SHADE FOB POULTRY.— PouItry need as much protection during the summer Jroin the fierce rays of the sun as they do in winter from the severe cold, although far too uiauy.of our breeders lose sight of this very important fuel, and suffer correspond ing losses in consequence. Birds com pelled to stay in the yards which have little, if any, shade during the entire sum mer, with the suu pouring down ou them with the mtensity it does in July aud Au gust, cannot thrive, while they are ren dered much more liable to disease and dis order. It pays, aud pays well too, to give the fowls comfort at all limes, and it costs but little to turnish the necessary shade, no matter how large the runs may be. Trees, such as pluuis, peach and apple, should at once be planted in the runs, espe cially the former, which seems to thrive better there than the other kinds named. As these trees will not afford much shade for a tew yeais, temporary shades must be made by making skeleton sheds of poles along the sunny sides ot the runs, aud then eovermg them with boughs, cedar limbs, or almost anything cheap aud convenient, which will afford the necessary shelter troni the sun. These may not look very hand omc, but then the utility compensates fully tor the lack of beauty. THE Usts OF FALLEN LEAVUS, — Leaves have to be gathered up. Tuey are excel lent to mix with hot-bed material, and, where partieable, 6hould be saved for this put pose. They do not heat so rapidly as stable manure, and in this have au advant age; as tempering the violence makes the manure last longer and maintain a more regular heat. They are excellent material to put round cold frames to protect half hardy plauts. A board is put up to the height of the frame boards, aud about a foot or more from them, and the leaves in between. If the planls are somewhat tender, the bottom of the frames may be tilled a few feet with the leaves. These leaves after having been two or three years decaying make admirable stuff for putting and plauts for flowers general. COUNT THE CCST.— No man is fit to man age a farm who does not think beforehand what is the best to do, and which is the best way to do it. Work without plan, has been the blunder of many who pretend to be farmers. Riising crops without knowledge as to their cost, or thought as to whether they will sell or not, has sapped mauy a fori une. More fore thought iu the management of a farm is required than in most any other pursuit followed by man, and the forehanded farmer is always the one who counts the cost, and closely calcu lates all matters that appertain to the farm, not that a farmer is necessarily obliged to make shifts and turns in order to succeed but simply to count the cost. GRUBS in the head of sheep are believed to be caused by the gadfly, which depos its its eggs in the nostiils of the 6heep during the summer aud autumn; although hey cause much pain they are not usually fatal. To prevent them, apply tar to the nose of the sheep, occasionally, during July and August, or smear the feeding troughs with tar. To cure the sheep when the grubs are once hatched, blow tobacco smoke up the nostrils or syringe the nose with a decoction of tobacco. FARMERS are beg.niog to learn, and in fact, most of them have already learned, mat the time speut in destroying weeds in the autumn is well spent, and that if they would save time in cultivating hoed crops they must ket-p the weeds from seeding as much as posible in all parts of the fa rm; a little carelessness in this respect will soon cover a farm with with weed seeds. A single root of milk weed in a mowing field, if left unmolested, will spread and take possession of a large field in a few days. IT IS an old adage to give the animals all they will eat. It would be better to say give them all they can digest There are a great many animals which eat more than they digest. As a general thing hor ses which stand in the stall idle eat much more than those which work all the time. The former will be fed half a dozen times a day, while the work horses are fed but three times a day, the latter having no baits between meals, nUMOROUS. Titßin education neglected: It is doubt ful if a single one of the Concord School of Philosophers could run a hotel, make a miut julep, roll a cigarette dig a square hole, tie a bowline knot, set a hen properly, boss ail engine at a tire, find out the hole in a leaky roof, back a mule, tel! which direction is uortli when lost in the woods, or take off a lady's gaiters in a graceful and perfectly respectful manner; yet all these and many more are the things necessary and iudes]xmsftble to be known before hu man affairs generally can be considered aud judged philosophically.
