AGRICULTURE.
TBAIMAQ llsir KFS. —il is AN easy tnat
ter to train a heifer to stand ouietly to tx
milked, hot is caster to train them to Jump
kick and ruu. The may to teach them to
sand still is to require them always t > do
•Ot If there is naught to hinder a wiM
heifer from running, and if her fears
t tornpl her to run, she can and will run.
If she can not run, in a short time she loses
her fear and stands from habit, and habit
is one of the most powerful influences in
tins wot Id for either brute or man. If you
transform a wild heifer into a well-behaved
well-trained cow, you must be patient and
t xhibit no temper. Never strike her. She
t'ust first of ail net acquainted with you
aud learn that vou will not harm her. She
UiUt learn not to fear you. If, in winter,
it is best to milk iD the stable, makes as
little fuss ami as few alarming motions as
possible. handle her very gently, lie care
ful not )o pineb the teat*. This is the
source of trouble. A cow naturally
wishes to he rid of her milk. She stands
quietly until some care'ess milker has given
a squeeze that hurts, when she kicks and
ruus, By allowing such a course a tew
times, the habit will be confirmed. The
l>est way to manage, if you have no stable
ts to hav; a well-fenced yard, and teach
your heifers to stand for milking in that,
or, next Itest, t<e them, using them very
qui#y. No man or boy is tit to handle
animals unless he can control them, aud
control himself. Neither is it right to
chastise the ignorant.
I>RY EARTH WH STABLES. —If any one
M ill observe where ihe cows lie down in
the barmard or pasture, it will best en that
they choose the bare ground, lathe, than
the sod or betiding of straw. The same is
true of sheep. I have taken the hint, says
a Western farmer, and furnished the cow
stables with dry earth-bedding. Leaves
and straw are poor absorbent? in compari
son. In the pig-i>eus dry earth has uo
equal, in very coid weather we add straw
ur leaves, but until the weather is very
cold, the animals will be more comfortable
wdh a lied of fresh soil, or soil changed
once in a fortnight or week. In the cliiek
en-housc we have karned lis great value as
a deodorizer, —Our rx>sts are ovt r a slop
ing door, on which we occasionally scatter
dry earth. The droppings re 11 down into
a pile of diy tarlh. This is turned over
with a shovel each week or otteuer, and
we cen say that the chicken-house is free
fiom an,} ukensive odor, and bright combs
am! glossy feathers tell of tlie health of the
fowla. Dry earth is a good preventive,
too, o: vermin on cattle, pigs, and poultry.
It not only promotes neatness and health,
but saves the very elements of the manures
which make them most valuable, aud nioet
of which would evaporate it not absorbed
by the dry* i;arti. We do not lifie it as a
budding lor horse stables, out it should be
h>um. in ev y stable, to sprinkle the floor
with as aoon as ;oo liedding is removed in
ihe mdrnng. \N lieu removed from the
stables, stye®, or coops, it should be kept
under cover until used, and is excellent for
drilling with all kinds of gram.
Wins t rricbiug the soil so as to procure
a good crop of corn and potatoes, do Dot
forget to apply a liberal dressing to the too
often neglected orchard. Rotation of crops
can sot le followed with fruit trees, heuce
the necessity of systematically restoring to
the soil, so far as may be done, those ela
inents consumed in the production of a
crop of fruit. After au oichard comes into
l>earing it is commonly considered able
thenceforth to take care of llaeif-the owner
seldom failing to expect fair returns, and
the orchard seldom failing to disappoint.
The reason is obvious; the trees are slowly
starved, and the fruit becomes scraggy or
small in quantity. Alternate bearing years
are a result (f th s treatment, us is shown
by the abundant crops th .t may be obtained
every year by thorough cuitivalton, pro
vided frost does not interfere. The bar
ren year is nature's method of aiding the
tree to collect from ram and atmosphere
material for a productive year. It is just
ne reasonable to expect that a good crop oi
corn can be taken annually for n series of
years trom a field to which nothing has
been restored as to e.\p< ct fruit to maintain
its excellence on soil that is continually
•/rowing thinner and poorer in needed ma
terial.
WHOLE WHEAT FOK FWLS. —There is
more solid nutriment in whole wheat, as a
teecl for poultry, than in any of the cere
als, weight for weight. It Is an excellent
kind of grain for this use though somewhat
more expensive than any other sorts; but
too much of this hearty feed is deterimen
tal, particularly when fed to Cochins.
Brahmas, etc. Fowls are very partial to
wheat. It helps the laying capacity of
hens, but it should not be used except with
discretion as to the quantity ailowed tiiem
dally. An excess of this raw gram will
iuduce a kxaeness in the bowels very fre
quautiy. It is easy of digestion, and
should be furnished in moderation, as a
needful and most desirable variety, in con
junction with other dry grains, such as
• racked corn, oats, barley, buckwheat,
etc. It not more than one third or one
fourth of wheat is allowed with the other
cereals mentioned, for ordmary purposes
iu the laymg season, hens will do quite as
well, and they can thus be kept in better
average condition than by a greater allow
ance. We have proved this by freqneut
practical experiments in fading.
BBLI.S FOB BUMP.— Tue cheapest and
beat insurance asrair.st dogs k'Jliug sheep
are bells—plenty of belie. The sheep dog
is a great coward when in pursuit of mis
chief, and he wants to do it quietly— wants
no noise, no aiarm. Bells bought at whole
sale do not cost much. Jluy a side of bri.
die leather at the currier's for collars, and
put a bell on every sheep in your tiock if
small. The price of one sheep will buy a
rross of bolls and leather enough and buck
les to s r p them. Put this gro.s of bells on
a dock ut sheep and tuey will frighten
every dog out of the field. Flock masters
are slow to adopt a simple, and cheap rem
edy like this, but will go to tlie legislature
hire lobby influence, aud spend large sums
of money to a little purpose. Members of
the legislature are fond of dogs themselves
and do not want them taxed.—They own
no eheep, and care but little about their
protection.

DOMESTIC.
iIYUIKNIO OOKDITIONS Cf C'OAL MINU.
Sonic interesting information as to the way
in which tne human system is 'affected
under,the peculiar condition of work in
mine* ha* been furnished by M. Fabre,
from experiences connected with the coal
mines of France, lie finds that the depri
vation of solar light causes a diminution
in the pigment of the skiu and absence of
suiibuming, hut there ss no globular an
rtula —that is, diminution in the number
of globules thai are in tlie blo.d. Inter
nal remedies seem to be more rare. While
there is 110 essential amu nia in the miners,
the blood globules are often found smaller
and paler than in normal conditions of life,
this being due to respiration ot noxious
gasses, especially where vuitilation is diffi
cult. The men who breathe too much the
gasscs libetated on the explosion of pow
der or dyuamite suffer more than other
miners front affections of the laryux, the
bronchia and the stomach. Ventilation
sometimes works injury by its cool lug
effect.
How TO MANAGUA Coruu.—A distin
guished English physician, in a work on
coughs ami colds, says if we would know
just how to manage a cough we must learn
how not to cough. 'I lie inclination to
cough should at any rate be suppressed
until the secretion, the existence of which
sets up the cough, is within your reach; a
full inspiration should now be taken and
the accumulated phlegm is then removed
at a single effort; thus the mucus surfaces
are not causelessly intated, and a severe
bronchial attack passes easily through its
stages, whereas, if the membrane is min
ted by violent and useless ts tiof coughing,
it gets sore and relaxed. Again, by in
haling steam, or suckiug an ipecacuana
lozenge on first awaking, the dried secre
tion may be loosened or easily expelled,
and the usual ht of morning cough partly
prevented.
PLUM PUDDIKU. —Pick aud stone one
pound of raisins, prepare two pounds of
dried currants; chop one pound of beef
suet very tine, and one pound of mixed
peel; one ounce of mixed spice. Mix in a
baslu one pouud of flour, out pound o f
moist sugar, one pound of eggs, well
beaten, half a pint of milk, four ounces of
bread crumbs. Add ail the ingredients
and mix into a firm dough. Well butter a
mould, dust it with flour, tneu All with
the pudding mixture; tie it over with a
cioth, put it into plenty of boiling water,
aud Doil fast, for eight hours or longer.
When required turn out caretullv, and
serve with a gill of brandy burning in each
dish.
WHOOPIXU COUGH.— Medical opinion
seeuis te be pretty unanimous as regards
the efficacy of the carbolic acid treatment
in whooping cough. Dr. K J. Banning
hss leen in the habit of using it for some
time with very good results. A few drops
evaporated upon a hot shovel in the l*U
room before going to bed will gauerally
prevent any severe attacks during the
night. He has also found the administra
tion in the ordinary doses of cioton chloral
extremely beneficial. Mr. J. It. Cloutling,
M. It. C. 6. considers carbolic inliala
tions the most successful mode of dealing
with the disease which he has employed
during the ten years he has been in prac
tice.
PITF >UDOllO. —Measure eight table
spoonfuls of tlour, put il in an eartbern
dish and warm it in the oven, then stir in
one pint of sweet milk, three well-beaten
eggs, one teaspoonful of salt; beat the yolks
separately. Take six or seven teacups and
butter them well and fill about two-thirds
full of the mixture. Bake in a "quick"
oven for twenty minutes. For the sauce
have one cup of hot water, six tablespoon
fuls of sugar; let this come to a boil, then
add one egg, stir constantly, add a piece
of butter the size of an egg, and flavor
with lemon, vanilla or nutmeg. If you
prefer a sour sauce, add a tablespoonful of
vinegar.
VESSIOS STEAK. — To wash a venison
steak is to ruin it. When you slice the
6teaks from the haunch they ought to be
clean. The outside cut may be soiled
from transportation, then you may rub it
clean with a damp towel. A venison steak
should be broiled on a clear hot fire, well
salted and with little pepper, and eaten
plain, with a little hot butter in the
dish. A good sauce is made with a couple
of teaspooufuls of currant jelly, a mustard
spoonful of celeiy seed, and some of tne
gravy from the venison steak served as hot
as possible. Hot plates, very hot ones,
are necessary for game of all kinds, and
especially venison.
BEOKKTS OF HEALTH. —First, keep warm;
second, eat regularly and slowly; third,
maintain regular bodily habits; fourth,
take early and very light suppers; filth,
keep a clean skin; get plenty of sleep at
night; seventh, keep cheerful and respec
table company; eighth, keep out of debt;
ninth, don't mind on things you
don't need; tenth, mind your own business;
eleventh, don't set yourself up to be a
sharper of any kind; twelfth, subdue curi
osity; thirteenth, avoid drugs.
EXOELLZM POUND SESD CAKE. —One
pouß<i ot butter beaten to a cream, one
pound of sifted lump sugar, one pound of
good dour well dried, eight eggs, the
whites beaten separately, and carroway
seed to taste. Mix the ingredients and
beat all well together for one hcur. Put
the batter into a cake baking tin, lined
with paper aud buttered. Bake in a mod
erate oven.
To MAKE STEAK TENDER.— Put three
tablespoon! uls t f salad oil and one spoon
ful of vinegar, well mixed together, on a
large flat dish, and on this lay the steak.
Salt must never be put on the steak before
it is coked. Tho steak must lay OH this
tender-making mixture for Rt leist half an
hour to a side; the t >ugh< st steaks will euc
eiiiLb to this, and be perfectly tender when
c >oked.
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DIPTHKRU —Put
the person suffering from diptheria into
a warm bed. lake a shovel of red hot
coals from the fire, sprinkle a spoonful k or
two of flour .of sulphur on the hot coals
and place under the bed. Remove the
shovel out of the room when the alfloted
person begins to cough, Ret this be done
for two or three sights, and it will be
found that the fumes from the sulphur will
ki 1 the throat fuuirus called diphtheria.
COFFEE CAKE.— This is one of the best
of plain cakes and is very easily made.
Take one cup of strong coffee infusion, one
cup molasses, one cup sugar, one-half cup
butter, one egg and one teaspoonful salera
tus. Add spice and raisins to suit the
taste and enough Hour to make a reasona
bly thick batter. Hake rather slowly in
tin pans lined with buttered paper.
CHOCOLATE CARAMELS. —I. of gra
ted chocolate, milk, molasses and sugar,
one cupful each; piece of butter the size
of an egg. Boil until it will harden when
dropped in cold water; add vanilla; put in
a buttered pans, and before it cools, mark
off In e juare blocks. 2. Two ounces of
chocolate, two gills of milk, two gills of
white sugar, two tablespoonfuls molasses.

f : ular Dnancial secretary of Howard Uni-

> merit aud demerit, In a recent letter from
W ushtuglou he said: "1 have for two
I years past been acquainted with the remedy
t known as Warner's Safe Kidney anil
s Liver Oire, and with its remarkable cura
. live efficiency in obstinate and so-called
. incurable cates of Brighl's disease in this
city. In some of these cases, which seem
ed to be in the last stages, and wliicii had
i been given up by practitioners of both
; schools, the speedy change wrought by
this remedy seemed but little less than
miraculous. 1 am convinced that for
Brighl's Disease in all its stages, including
the lirst symptoms, which seem so slight
but are so dangerous, no remedy hereto
fore discovered can tie held for one moment
in comparison with this."

The force exerted by the discharge of
