AGBICULTURAL. TFIE BEST FARM HORSES. —What class ■will be the most profitable to raise is a Question of interest to nearly every far ther. Trotters may be set aside. The care and skill required in training, even when the colt has all the advantage ot pedigree is such as would make serhus inroads upon the time and patience of all but a fortunate few. So the trotter may be set down as not a profitable horse for the farmer to breed; but carriage aod heavy draught horses are. Both of these kinds are scarce in all our large cities, and the demand tor them greater than the supply; hence prices are always remunerative. For some years to come no sort of farm stock will be more profitable than these two classes of horses. The carriage hoise requires a good share of thoroughbred blood in him, else he will show a deficiency in style, spirit, action aud endurance, qualities that constitute the chief value of that class. For draught horses the native breed is entirely too small. To remedy this defect wo must employ tlie best types of imported stallions. The writer has watched with interest the importations of foreign stock, as telegraph ed over the couutry for the last few years, aud gives it as his judgment that the 'Jlydesdale Iris beeu the favorite, and rep resents the best type of imported stallions. What seems singular the heaviest ship ment of these horses have almost invariably been for the Eastern or Western States, where they seem to lie in high favor. Rarely has a shipment lor Ohio been re corded. Skippiug the details of theiraua touiy. appearance and peculiarities, we can say that no breed of heavy draught horses is more valuable on the farm, either as pure breeds 01 to improve our native horses, and this has been a rendered ver dict in both the East and the West. Is HORSESHOEING USELESS? —A recent is sueol Frazer's Magazine containsau arti cle by Sir George W. Cox, iu which he es timates that the Euglish custom of horse shoeing costs the nation as much as $44,- 00u,000, which might be saved if the horses were allowed to go unshod, lie quotes authorities from Xenophon, who marched his horses from Cuuaxa over the Armenian highlands to the walls of Trebizond, down to the "free lancers" ot the present day, and contends that it is safer, cheaper and better to let horses go unshod over the hardest roads, and especially in the slip pery streets of London. He estimates that over twelve million dollars would be saved in farriers' bills alone. And he calculates further that the working life of a horse would be trebled by the change so that a horee which is now worn out at twelve years wtuld liye to twcmy-.-ix. The rig ures seem somewhat staitiiug. and have hardlv been sufficiently proved to be trust worthy. Meanwhile it is said that a med ical man in Waterbury, Conn., has not put shoes on his horses for two years, driviug them winter, summer, spring and autumn with bare feet without any trouble. The doctor's theory is that nature has provided for the horse; that a horse can travel over all kinds of roads; that llie hoof will be moist, aud that the frog coming to the ground ketps the hoof properly spread, ami free from founder and other diseases. CULTURE OF ONIONS.- The kirds ofouions usually grown are the Red Weathers field and the Yellow Danvers. About 12 pounds of seed are used to the acre. Any aeeusman cau supply the seed. The seed is sown early in the spring as soon as the soil can be prepared. The rows are made nine inches apart. The soil is prepared by thorough plowing and harrowing, and should be richly manured with old manure. The labor consists chietly in weeding, and this is indispensable. Tne cost of labor depends upon the cleanness or weediness. of the ground; if there are many weeds much hand-weeding will be required, but labor is economized by keeping the weeds from growing by frequent stirring of the ground. This work js usually done by children, who get through the narrow rows easily. An average yield is from 400 to 600 bushels per acre. The amount of pro fit depends altogether upon the saill and expei ience of the grower. FEW persons know how closely related to the potato are many other well-known plants. Botanists know them all as sola naceous plants, and under the more famil iar name as "night-shades." In this class of plants are to be found the potato, the tomato, egg plant, pepper and tobacco plant. Then among the poisonous plants are the belladonna and the jimson weed; the beautiful petunia also belongs to it. A large portion ot the plants of this tolana ceous family are permeated by a narcotic principle rendering the leaves and fruit poisonous. At the same time some afford nutricious food, not because free from the narcotic principle, but because the latter is expelled in the process of ripening and cookiDg, as in the case of the potato and tomato. | BWEET CORN FODDEK.— The method of growing sweet corn fodder is as follows: The ground is prepared m the usual man ner, the corn is either planted by a common wheat drill through the middle and end sprouts, all the rest being stopped, or by a corn-planter, or by opening a furrow with a light plow and dropping the 6eed either three inches apart singly, or four seeds one foot apart in the row. The rows should be about thirty to tbirty-six inches apart Evergreen sweet corn makes the best tod der. When the corn is formed on the cob, and before the blades turn, the crop is cut in the ÜBual way, and when cured is put up in the field m large shocks, bound very firmly at the top and half-way down with straw bands. The fodder keeps better in this way than in stacks or in the barn, where it would mold. There will be many ears on the stalks, bnt all is cut up to gether. PREPARING PLANT BEDS. — Hot beds are usually employed for starting early vege table plants, but beds in the open air an swer as well for late kinds, as well as for tobacco. In preparing such beds plenty of fine, rich old manure should be used, thoroughly mixed with the surface soil. When the bed is completed, cover the en tire surface with dry straw, liay, brush, or some similar material, and set it on fire. The burniog of these materials on the bed will warm the ground, destroys insects and weed seeds, be-ides adding a fine coatirg of ashes and coal to the surface, both of which will increase the fertility of the bed, and act as a preventive against the attacks of many plant-eating insects. Where the common flea beetles are troublesome to to bacco, cabfcage and similar plants, this fi ring of the bed previous to sowing the seed *vill prove very beneficial, if not a certain /reventive. This is but a modification of the old and common practice ot American farmers of making their tobacco and cab bage plant bed on some spot where a brush heap had been recently burned. THE Rochester street cars are to be propelled by compressed air, supplied by a hydraulic motor, of which J. M. Bois is the Inventor. The air is to be compressed by the Genesee Falls, and the machinery, includiug an iron tower over one hundred feet high, is now being established at the foot of the falls.

To mothers, aunties, or sisters who do up the school luncheon for the youngsters: pray make it as attractive in appearance as possible. There is truly nothing very attractive about a thick piece of dry bread and butter aud a cookie all rolled in a piece of coarse brown paper, washed down by a dimk from ibe cup that "goes the rounds." touch a luncheon will often im pair the appetite of a fastidious or delicate child, aud he will go without rather than eat it. A little care iu the cutting of tin bread; the doing up of the cookiee or crul lers in tissue or white paper; the sauce or custard put into a pretty cup, aud all wrapped in a clean white napkin within a bright tiu pail, or, better still, a pretty luncheon basket, will, by the pleasure it gives the child, well rej>ay the extra care and thought. To MAKE A CHEAP WASH OK FAINT.— Put half a bushel of good lime n a clean barrel, and add enough water to make a tbin whitewash, stirring with a tint stick until every lump is dissolved; iheu add fifty pounds mineral paint (the color pre ferred,) fifty pounds whiting, fifty pounds road dust. Then thin to the proper con sistency for spreading with a brusn, by adding sweet buttermilk fresh from the churu iu small quantities at a time, to give a chance for the ingredients to assimilate. BLACK BEAN toorp.—One quart of black beans; soak them ovor night in cold water; drain off the water in the morning and add three pints of fresh water; let them stew gently four and one half hours. Add salt, pepper aud a little clove. While cooking, put iu meat, cooked or uncooked, as preferred. When doue strain the soup; cut a lemon iu slices; place in your dish; also add a hard boiled egg cut in slices. Pieces of bread toasted brown are an ad dition. Salt pork may be used instead id meat. To CLEAN MUSTY BAKKKi.s.--AGeniian paper gives the followtug directions for cleaning rusty or mouldy casks and bar rel P hSrst nuse them out well with water in which a little soda has been dissolved; then fill up with water slightly acidulated with muriatic acid, and let tki* stand for two days; then pour out the water and rinse with clean water, and the casks will be found perfectly sweet. Ws never had any patience with a mother or nurse who would stick pins carelessly in her dress, collar, or ribbon, thereby inflicting wounds upon her innocent victim. Not a pin, except ing a satety pin, sksxiid be used about a child, and when buttons will perform the ofiice of pins tlisy should be made to do so. Con AGE GINGERBREAD. —Take one cup of butter aad lard melted together, add one cup of New Orleans molasses; stir into this one cupful each of sugar and cold water, two large teaspoonfuls of ginger, two eggs beaten; and four cups of flour having in three large teaspoonfuls of ba king powder. Bake in a moderately hut oven HOUSEHOLD WRIGHTS AND MEASURES. — Wheat flour, one pound is a quart. I/>af sugar, brokeai, one pound is one quart. White sugar, powdered, one pound one ounce is one quart. Best brown sugar, one pound two ounces is one quart. Eggs, average size, ten are one pound. Liquid measures, sixteen teaspoonfuls are one pint. SCOTCH BUTTER CANDY. —One pound of sugar., one half pint of water. Boil as hard as possible without graining. When done add half a cup of butter and lemon juice to flavor, it' desired. Turn on a but tered dish and when partly cool cut witn a knife into small squares. Wheu cold a slight tap will break it off. PASTRY.— Fruit and custard pies are almost invariably spoiled by having a sog gy undercrust. 'This may be remedied by coating the top of the lower crust of pies with the white of an egg; it will absorb no moisture from the fruit or custard, will come out of the oven crisp and will re main so To CLEAN MARBLE. —To clean smoky marble brush a paste of chloride of lime and water over the entire surface. Grease spots can be removed from marble by ap plying a past® of crude potash and whiting in this manner. VALUABLE HINTS. —When ice is required at night for a sick person, break it it into small and if sc&roe care must be taken tprevent its melting, put into a soup plate, cover with another plate, and put between two feather pillows. Coacoaaut Cookies. —One cup of milk, one cup of sugar, one cup of grated cocoa nut, and prepared flour enough to roll out. Make very thin and bake quickly. The dessicated coaoinut may be used, but it is not quite so nice, To renovate black grenadine, take strong cold coffee, strain it, and wring the grena dine out ot it quite tight, after which shake out and fold up. Then iron it with a moderately hot iror, over a piece of any old black material. Silk stockings must be washed in cold water with white soap, rinsed in cold water, laid flat on a fine towel, roiled tightly until dry, and rubbed with a piece of flannel to restore the gloss. CORN-STAEOTI CAKE. —Two cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one cup of milk, one cup of corn starch, two cups of flour, four eggs, one teaspoonful of soda, and flavor with lemon or vanilla. A few drops of ammonis added to a gal lon of water and applied once a week to all pots of flowers will do much good and keep the pots and earth from souring. .NEVER wear a good woolen dress into the kitchen without the protection of a large apron. No flannel that has not been carefully washed, and is not perfectly soft and fleecy, should ever touch the skin of an infant. Your fat must be boiling when you put your meat in it to fry.

While Mr. Nyce and family were in the country recently, his boy,aged three years, fell and broke his leg. He recovered, but a very troubesome stiffness set iu aud be could scarcely use the leg. Tbe injured limb was rubbed several times with St. Jacobs Oil,and tho stiffness was so much reduced that th boy was able to use his leg freely. Dr. Kuipe said It was the use of St Jacobs Oil that cured the stiff ness. Mr. Nyce himself used the Great German Remedy tor toothache with good effect, aud also for a sprain and pains of rheumatic nature, and always with good effect.

IVdrwi baths produce an effect npon the skin directly contrary to that which is brought about by cold water. The cuta neous vessels dilate immediately under the influence ef the heat, and, although the dilation is followed by contraction, this contraction is seldom excessive, and the ultimate result of a warm bath is to in crease the cutaneous circulation. The pulse and respiration are both quickened in the cold bath. The warm bath increas es the teni]>erature of the body, and, by lessening the necessity for internal produc tion of heat, it decreases the call which is made upon certain of the vital processes, and enables lite to tie sustained with a less expenditure of force. While a ccld bath causes a certain stiffness of tlie muscles if continued too long, a v arm bath relieves Btiffuess and fatigue. The flu&l effect of botu hot and cold baths, if their tempera ture be moderate, is the same, the differ ence beiug, to use the words of Brauu, that "cold refreshes by stimulating the func tions, heat oy physically facilitating them, aud in this lies the important difference between the cold water system and the thermal mode of treatment."

The operation of friction machinery has now become a fixed fact, and lis easy adap tability where waste power can be utilized is a marked feature. A machine of this kind has come into use, which consists simply of an iron cylinder one foot long and one foot in diameter, having a fixed plate of hardened iron in one end, and a second plate attached to a revolving shaft, which presses lightly or closely upon the fixed plate as circumstances require The cylinder is filled with water, the shaft re volves, aud, from the friction of the plates, the water in an incredibly shcrt time is heated; and by means of steam pipes can be carried to great distances for heating purposes. The machine is so constructed as to render it easily adapted to places where there is waste power, as in nulls, factories, public building, cars, etc. The power required for its operation is very slight; thus, to carry a machine with thir ty-six square inches of friction plates—the ordinary size—one horse power only is re quired, while a machine with two hun dred and twenty-flve square inches of fric tion surface will require at most but six horse power. -M* ■ MT "First a cough, curried me off, And then a cullln ihey carried me off tut" This will aoi be your epitaph ti you take your cough and R.

Deleuil, a member of the Agricultural Society of France, insists that an acceptable substitute has been found in a vaiiety of red beet root, which he desci ibes as "unrivaled in the whole world for its incomparable qualities, which will iu time replace all that we have lost in the vine. Beet root produces alcohol of superior quality; wty, then, should not its pulp, treated like the must of the grape produce an equally luscious beverage?

Schskck : Dear Sir—l am anxious that others should know of the great curative properties of your medicines. For three years I was afflicted with a constant cough, accompanied by an expectoration of ropy phlegm. My cough was so bad that I could sleep very little, day or night. I lost my appetite, and was very much reduced in flesh, and was so weak that It was as much as I could do to walk s square. I used all the remedies that were recom mended by friends, and many that I saw adver tised in the papers, bat reoetved no relief from their use. At last, I was taken with asevere hem orrhage, whloh reduced me still more.# Soon after this my wife procured one of your books, and reading the description of my disease In it. she in sisted on my giving your remedies a trial. My daughter, who resides In Albany, N. Y., also wrote about this time, that she had heard of several cures there by their use; and so I was tndnoed to use them. I began by using all three of your medicines at oue time, as you direct; that la, the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup. I could see that they were doing me good from toe first— my appetite improved, I became gradually stronger, and my cough was so much better that I rest quite comfortably all night, a thing I have not done before In many months. Now, after using the medicine for about six weeks, I am welL I consider your remedies as magical In their effects, and I write you this letter that others may know or their great curative qualities In diseases of the throat and lungs.

I believe that my daughter had Consumption of the Lungs, and that the use of your medieiaes saved her life. I nursed her through her sickness, and she was so bad for a long time that we had no hope of her recovery. I can only aid that the ac count that she gives in the following letter Is true In every particular. MRS. LYDIA A. TAFT. Da. Schxkcx : Dear Sir—l will give yon. as near as I can, an aeooont of my sickness, as also, my recovery by the use of your great medicines. The first symptom of disease that attracted particular at tention was s severe pain in my lungs. This came on while I was attending school, and on my going home one evening my mother thought It best to oonsult a doctor In regard to It. After an exam ination of my lungs, he spoke quite discouragingly °fmycase, saying that my lungs were seriously affected, and that the chances for my recovery were not very good. I was soon after attacked with hemorrhage, raising a half a cop of blood at a time. After this I had a choking cough which kept me awake almost the whole night, and also, severe night sweats which weakened me so that l was at last confined to my bed. I had no appe tite, and had constant pains In my sides and back, but most severe in my right lung. My brother was the one who first told us of your medicines, saying that he had heard of a remarkable cure being per formed by them. From his recommendation we concluded to use them. I began by nsing the Pul monic Syrup alone, but was afterwards told that I must take the Mandrake Pills and Seaweed Tonic at the same time. This I did; that is, I took all st one time as you direct, only that from my great weakness I was obliged to begin with smaller doses than you prescribe. I gradually gained In strength, however, so that I was able to take full doses. My strength Increased as the medicines tsi gun to act on my system, and soon my worst symptoms were gone, my appetite Increased, and this gave me strength to get up and take exercise. I was at last well, and have had good health ever sluce—now over ten years. I advise all who are suffering with lung disease to use your medicines, as I belTve they are almost a specific in that disease. I shall be pleased to have any oue call on or write io me in regard to my case. Yours Truly, MERCY J. TAFT. Uxbridge, Mass., June 14th, 188 L FROM JULES M. ROYALL, ESQ., OF PROVL DENCE, R. L Da J. H. Schxwcx A Son, Philadelphia: Dear Sirs—About four years ago I overheated myself at ray work, (blacksmlthlng.) and while per spiring freely, exposed myself to a draught which gave me a heavy cold. I was soon so sick that I bad to give up work and employ a physician. He told me that my cold was on my lungs, and gave me medicine which gave temporary relief. I was soon down again, however, and this time suffered more than at first. Being told by a friend that your medicines were good in lung disease. I con cluded to use them. At this time I had severe pains In my breast, back and aides, a violent oough, terrible sweats at night, and also many times In the day time, if I was asleep; I raised quite frequently a half a tea cup full of yellow matter at a time; and judging from all my symptoms, my friends believed me to be in the last stages of Consumption. They did not believe I could live a week. My weight was only 115 pounds. Soon after beginning to use the medicines, I commenced to Improve in every way. but the more marked Improvement was in my gain of flesh, as within two months I gained 25 pounds, 1 was at last well, and have continued In good health without even feeling any weakness of the lungs ever since. Have worked steadily at my trade all this time. I believe that I owe ray life to the use of your medicines. Those afflicted are Invited to call and see me at any time. Yours Truly, JULES M.
