AGRICULTURAL.
WHAT class or kind of horses to raise is
a question for men to decide for them
selves. Individual taste in such matters
sometimes should govern. Some men de
light in the stylislt roadster, and another's
idea of utility makes him admire the heavy
breeds. The dratt horse is a necessity of
the times, and the stylish stepper, the
carriage horse and the tine saddle beast,
will always be sought. If a mau's tastes
are in the direction of heavy horses, he
should select them as his specialty, rather
than undertake to raise light and speedy
stock; and if another sees his ideal iu the
"thoroughbred" or blood horse, it is hardly
to be supposed that he would take as
much interest in raising draft stock as tie
would in breeding and raising his favorite
kind. The demand for horses embraces all
breeds, and as a rule, it is wise to select
that class for which a man has a piei'er
ence. In a large majority of instances,
however, a man may not be wedded to
any particular breed, or have no special
preferanee one over another, in such cases
he cannot do better than to select as his
specialty what has been called serviceable
buisness horses, staunch, of go**! size and
style, moderate speed, aud uervy action.
For horses of this class there is a steady
and incr.asieg demand; they are quickly
purchased at good prices, and it is in this
field that farmers will find remunerative
work. By a judicious selection of sire
aud dam such horses may be secured; but,
as we have frequently urged, this cannot
be done by indiscriminate breeding, for
instead of obtaining what is desired, the
progeny may be a nondescript, ungainly
and undesirable. It is indispensable to
success that the conditions shall be favor
able to obtaining it. We have stated them
heretofore, aud need not repeat them here.
The class of horses leferred to are scarce
and high, and of this many farmers have
doubtless taken notice.
HORSE CRIBBING. —It frequently happens
that a person has a very good horse other
ways than this very pernicious habit of
cribbiug—or crib-biting— the cause of
which is not very definitely settled by the
books, as the veterinary practitioners, like
all other dictors, disagree. Cribbiug is
said to be infectious, and a youug horse
standing in the next stall to an old cribber
will be very likely to take on his propen
sity. The propensity, or habit, is very
hard to cure. It may be avoided or palli
ated in some measure in several ways. The
best way that I know of for the stable—
haviug tried it myself—is to construct the
stall in the following manner: Make the
crib, f.r manger, on the thx>r instead of three
feet higher up, with a plank front about
fifteen inches high and for the bottom
fit in a aice piece of hard-wood board, or
plank. Have no bar or crosspiece at the
bottom of the hay rack, but instead, flare
off the ends of the slats and screw them on
strong to the boarding in the front part of
the stall. In this way the droppings will
fall into the manger, aud not be trcddeu
under foot, and the horse will have noth
ing to bear his foreteeth upon to suck wind
into or expell it from his stomach; both
theories being advocated, both maj be true.
The oats can be fed out just as well as
though the manger was higher up, aud it
is thought bv many that this is the best
aud most natural way for a horse to feed.
The horse should be hitched in front, over
the manger, so that he can reach the food
in all parts thereof, and that will give him
scope enough to lie down comfortably.
HARDY WINDOW PLANTS.— There is no
question more difficult to answer than as to
the best plants for window culture, for so
much depends on the skill or experience
of the cultivator. Some growers will make
things thrive that others fail utterly with;
for some plants require nice care, while
others thrive even under neglect. We
give a list of plants that do not mind
trifl ng checks. Tha various classes of
geranium, such as the common Zonales,
rose, and other scented leaved, and the
common Lady Washington. Some of the
hardier kinds of dwarf rose, Bengals and
Bourbous, Chinese primroses, cyclaments,
and the various kinds of Solauuin, as the
Jerusalem cherry, for instance, do very
well. If there lie a chance to trail from
the boxes, the Kenilworth ivy, mignonette
and the petunia will thrive, and if the
parlor ivy, moneyworth, spiderwort, or
running saxifrage, will be found very
useful aed easily managed. If the boxes
are in partial shade, palms ferns, and some
of the variegated leaved begonias will do
well. If one become very successful with
these easily grawn plants, and become
ambitious of floral success, there may be
choicer plants expenmented with.
HORSE diseases, like those which afflict
the human family, are more likely to oc
cur in low, cold, damp places than in those
which are dry and warm. The best sta
bles for horses are those situated on dry,
gravelly soils with good natural diainage.
Impure air is one of the strongest pre
disposing causes of disease. Horse stables
should be kept cleaD, sweet and airy, and
all affections ot the lungs which will im
pair breathing and the proper aeration of
the blood should be corrected. Impure
water, spoiled and insufficient food should
be guarded against.
HAND SCREEN. —Small circular hand
screens are beautifully made of plaited
cream lace ou a stiff foundation, with a
cluster of variegated flowers in the centre,
they are used at teas, and also at the thea
tre.
Improved Hectograph. —The princi
ple upon which the process depends is this,
that a superficial tanning of the gelatin, in
the gelatin-glycerin pad, makes the surface,
wherever tanned or rendered insoluble,
capable of taking fatty inks, while the rest
of the surface rejects it. In practice then
it is only necessary to have a perfectly level
hectographic pad, to write the op/ with
ordinary nutgall ink, to which a little ex
tra tannin aud extract of logwood has been
added, and to transfer the writing in the
ordinary manner upon the hectographic
surface. Wherever the writing appears,
the surface becomes tanned, and on now
applying a roller with printers' ink, the
written characters alone take the latter.
The pad is to be inked after each impres
sion. It is said that 300 to 400 sharp
copies can be made upon dry paper. The
only material necessary, besides the hec
tograph, is a slab, cr zinc plate, for spread
ing out the printer's ink, a small printers'
roller with handle, and a roll of wood or
paper for pressing the paper against the
pad.
The London Times is responsible for
the following piece of information: "Some
time ago an Austrian chemist is said to
have devised a new soporific, the action of
which is so rapid and powerful that a lew
drops *>f it sprinkled on the head and face
will effectuaily stupefy a man in a tew
seconds and render him utterly defense
less. He gave it the name of 'bandiger,'
or tamer, and offered the secret of its pre
paration to the Austrian Government.
But the Government has not only refused
to purchase it, but has ordered the Police
authorities to formally notify the inventor
to discontinue his experiments, and to ab
stain utterly from using his invention in
any way or communicating it to others,
under pain of being criminally dealt with.''
DOMESTIC.
BI.ACKBEREY CORDIAL. —The blackber
ry is said bY chemists to have a remar
kable effect as a tonic. Blackberry juice
is recommended for nervous exhaustion.
Put the Blackberries in a preserving kettle
over the tire, mash them down with a
wooden spoon as they heat until all Vie
juice is boiled out. Btraiu through a
cloth tut.) a bowl ; measure the juice. If
you want to make plain syrup add one
fourth the quantity of good brandy to the
juice and bottle, in cordial, allow two
teaspoonfuls of ground cloves, ditto mace,
ditto allspice, and four of cinnamon to
each quart of the juiee. Boil like simple
syrup, skimming carefully. Add the
spices after you have removed the scum,
and boil again till syrupy. Strain out the
spices through a fine muslin. When colli
add a pint of whiskey to every puart of
syruy. Bottle immediately and cork. If
you use brandy for the cordial the pro
portion is one-fourth of your measure of
the blackberry juice.
POINTS IN OAKK MAKING. —The butter
should be perfectly sweet ami free from
buttermilk; the butter and sugar should
be thoroughly beateu together. Powder
ed sugar is preferable to granulated, as the
latter is slow in dissolving ; the whites of
the eggs should be beaten to a stiff froth,
and added to the sugar, fruit should be
rolled iu flour and added at the last mo
ment : Soda should bo pulverized and
sifted into the eake with the Hour. The
hand, or a wooden spixm, is best for mix
ing cake. An import tut point is the heat
of tne even. The eake should laigin to
bake at ouee, but show Id not brown im
mediately. the oven door should be sel
dom opened while the cake is iu. The
gem-pans are excellent for bakiug cake,
first heating them as for Graham gems.
WAKM MILE A8 A KKVKRAGK —Milk
heated too much above 100 deg M F. loses
for that time a degree of its sweetness and
its density. Mo one who, fatigued by
ovt r-exertion of body or mind, has ever ex
perienced the reviving influence of a tum
bler of this beve age, heated as hot as it
can be sipped, will willingly forego a re
sort to it because of its having been ren
dered somewhat less acceptable to the pal
ate. The promptness with which its cor
dial influence is telt is indeed surprising.
Some portion of it seems to be digested
and appropriated almost immediately ; and
many who fancy that they need alcoholic
stimulants when exhausted by fatigue will
And in this simple draught an equivalent
that shall be abundantly satisfying and
more enduring in its effects.
THE cure for night sweats depends en
tirely on the cause. Malaria gives rise to
them and then the cure is quiuiue and arse
nic Debility may cause them. lu that
case tonics ami good, untritious food should
be used. Consumption causes it, and the
cure is sulphuric acid, ten to twenty drops,
in water, au hour. Oxide of zinc and hy
drocyauite extract pills, and, aboye all,
atrophia sulphate, one two hundredths of
oue grain to begin with. This must be
takeu with great care. Dr. Nairn, of Lon
don, says he sponges the body with tinct
ure of belladonna, but the drug is too power
ful to be used by any oue but a physi
cian.
RIBBONS which are very much soiled can
oe made clean,and will look almost like
new ones, if washed in ammonia and wa
ter. Use half a teaspoonful of ammonia
to one pint of water. Some ribbons,
after washing or sponging, do not need to
be ironed, and in fact are injured by it.
These should be fastened to a tablo or long
ironing board, and when perfectly smooth
let them alone until they are dry. if they
are all wrinkled when dry, lay a cloth
which is slightly damp over them and
presn with a hot iron. Black silk, if
sponged with cold coffee and ammonia,
will be wonderfully freshened. Use a
flannel cloth to remove dust from silk.
BI TTER SCOTCH. —Take three pounds of
sugar, one-fourth of a pound of butter,
one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar,
and eight drops extract of lemou. Add
as much cold water as will dissolve the
sugar; boil without stirring till it will
easily break wheu dropped into cold water,
and when done add the lemon. Have a
dripping pan well buttered, and pour in
one-fourth of an inch thick, and when
partly cold mark off in squares. If pul
led when in this state till very white, it
will be like ice cream candy. Do not stir
it, but shake the vessel occasionally while
cooking.
COTTAGE PUDDING. —Three pints cf milk,
four to six eggs, sugar to taste, two thick
slices of bread crumbled very fine. Any
kind of fruit may he added, and it is good
without. Flavor to taste, aud hake half
an hour in a moderate oven. When baked
heat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth
with a little sugar, aud cover the top in
large spoonfuls, and sprinkle with pink
sugar sand; beat till a light brown. This
is very delicate and handsome.
CARKOT SALAD.- Select very tender car
rots, and cook them iu fast boiling water
till tender; cut iuto very thin slices, put
them into a glass salad howl, and sprinkle
with sifted loaf sugar; add the juice of a
large fresh lemon, and a wineglassful of
olive oil. Byway of garnish, place round
the margin of the dish an onion cut in
exceedingly thin slices, and small bunches
of any fresh, green salad leaves.
To STOP BLEEDING OF THE NCSE. - A
French surgeon says the simple elevation
of a person's arm will stop bleed ng at the
nose. He explains the matter physiologi
cally, and declares it a positive remedy.
It is certainly easy of trial. Or, a strong
solution of alum water, snuffed up the
nostrils, will cure in most cases without
anythiug further.
MUSTARD BLASTER. —By using syrup or
molasses for mustard plasters, they will
keep soft and flexible, and not dry up and
become hard, as when mixed witii water.
A thin paper, or flue cloth should come
between the plaster and the skin. The
strength of the plaster is varied by the ad
dition of more or less flour.
Liquin SHOE POLISH.- -The following is
a German recipe: Dissolve three and a
half ounces of she'lac in a half pint of al
cohol. Rub smooth twenty-five grains of
lamp black with six drachms of cod-liver
oil, and mix. A few diops are to he ap
plied to the leather with a sponge.
CURE FOR HOARSENESS. —Take the whites
of two eggs and beat them with two tea
spoonfuls of white sugar, grate in a little
nutmeg, then add a pint of luke warm
water ; stir well, drink often and it will
cure the most obstinate case of hoarseness
in a short time.
COOKS make the mistake of boiling
things too much. After reachiag the boil
ing point meats should simmer. The
toughest meats can he made tender by so
doing.
To CUKE WARTS.- -Cut a slice from a raw
potato and rub the hand each night; let
the water dry on the hand. It will need
but few applications.

A HUMORIST, embittered by long manu

fteccnt investigations respecting the
chemical constituents of tobacco fumes,
says the Maiylaiul Medical Journal, con
firm the olden view of the presence of nico
tine. It has, hiwever, been ascertained
that nicotine appears mostly in the form
of salts having picoline for their base.
Other substances of a similar composition
are generated in the act of smoking, which
seem to form under the influence of the
varying quantity of water in the tobacco
aud its mode of combustion. Thus the
use of the pipe develops the highly diflus
able aud narcotic pyridin, while cigar
smoking gives rise to iargtr quantities of
colidm. There exists only one remedy
for the remedy for the cure of chronic to
bacco poisoning, but thai is so prompt and
cfllcncious that none other is needed.
Unfortunately there exists also a very
great aud frequently an insurmountable
prejudice among smokers agaiust its em
ployment. It is the abstinence from to
bacco.
