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.

DOMESTIC.
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.

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

HUMOROUS.
A Philadelphia gentleman traveling
abroad writes that be and a friend stopped
at a small cafe iu the suburbs of Paris for
refreshments. Their repast was a light
one, consisting of tea, toast and eggs, but
the bill was a heavy oue, nine francs in
all.
"GarconP exclaimed one of the tour
ists, "how is this? Please explain."
"Well, you see, messieurs," apologizes
the waiter, "two francs for the tea aud
toast and seven francs for the eggs.

The Norristown (Pa.) Herald in a re

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. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks

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

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.

Jhe loss of vines through the ravages of
the phylloxera is forcing the wine makers
of France to .strenuous efforts to find a
substitute. M. A. 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? In
tact, this has been done; the very sweet
red beet root produces by fermentation a
wine quite as good as many of the soi
dinant wines of our southern vineyards,
it *x>sßeßßeß the additional advantages of
accommodating itself to all soils, and flou
rishes in most climates." All this may be
true: yet we fancy that American wine

The author operates on a basic hearth of
lime and tar, according to the process of
Kiley and Gilchrist, and at each operation
he uses a false hearth of limestone mixed
with peroxide of manganese. During the
fusian of the ingots this false hearth is
heated and gives off carbonic acid and a
pa.t of its oxygen. These gasis traverse
the mass of half melted copper. When
the bath is sufficiently liquid the lime and
the manganese oxide thus formed rise
through the copper and dissolve the ar
senic BCid, which passes into the slag. To
expel the last traces the copper is allowed
to become pasty in a current of air, and is
then remelted with the addition of basic

Philadelphia:
Dear srn—Some yearn ago I was
taken with Inflammation of the lungs, and although
treated by two of the best physicians of this city, I
gradually grew worse, until I had hemorrhages
quite frequently. They usually occurred in the
moruiug, and averaged fully a pint of dear bood
at a time. I had night sweats every night, and my
weight, which was 183 lbs. when I was first taken
siok, gradually ran down to 128 lbs. My nights
were almost sleepless, owing to severe pain in my
breast, bat* and shoulders, and a continual cough.
1 was so sick that my physicians gave up all hope
of my recovery. 1 then began to try med'clnes
that I saw advertised, but without any lasting
benefit. At last, by the advice of a frteud, I con
cluded to use your remedlea
I began by using all y<mr medicines as you di
rect, and in a very short time all my worst symp
toms left me and I began to gain in every way. As
my appetite came back I gained flesh very fast.
Prom June to November the Increase was over
fifty pounda My present wetght Is 174 pounds, and
has been about that smce my recovery several
years since. 1 was told by my physicians that I
had Consumption, and I believe myself that I had,
and that your medicines cured me.

Dear Sir—ln February last I was suffering
terribly with shortness of breath and a dry, hack
ing coogh, which were caused by a heavy cold. I
could not raise anything from my lungs, and It
sometimes seemed as If I would choke to death.
This continued for several weeks, when I con
sulted a doctor here, who told me that my right
lung was dead and I had no use of it. Soon after
this, I consulted two other physicians, who both said
that I could not live, that my right lung was gone
and my left badly ulcerated. My friends, of
course, had no hope for my recovery after this,
and I had none myself. About the first of May I
was called on by a friend, who advised me to give
your medicines a triaL I concluded to do so, but
I did not believe that there waa any thing that
would do me auy good. At this time I had oold
night sweats, and many nights I was unable to lay
down. My feet and legs were badly swollen. Soon
after I began to take your remedies, I raised large
quantities of yellow matter, which gave me great
relief. I took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic
and Pulmonic Syrup, according to the directions
on the wrappers, and by the first of July I began
to gain in strength, and my coogh was much bet
ter. About the first of August my cough was en
tirely gone, my appetite was pretty good, and by
the last of September I was well enough to go to
werk on the farm. I have been well ever since,
and to-day enjoy better health than I ever did.
Peeling that It is to you that I owe my life, I offer
you the most sincere thanks of a grateful man. 1
advise all who are afflicted with lung disease to
use your medicine, and I will gladly answer all
letters from those who are atllicted, or if they will
call on me I will give them good proof of what I
have wr.tten, as very many people residing here
know of ray case.

D*. J. H. Schknck, Philadelphia, Pa,:
Dear Sir—J write this to let you know that my
little daughter Henrietta, whom you saw on your
visit to this city in the fall of 1872, has entirely re
covered her health by the use of your Medicines.
] wish also av. the same time to give yon some
facts in regard to her case which I did not have
time to do when von were here. My daughter was
considered a healthy child until the month of No
vember, 1878. when she was attacked with Remit
tent Fever, with which she was sick for a long
time. As she was recovering from It she took a
heavy cold, which settled on her lungs, producing
a on-taut hacking As several of her
mother's relatives had died of Consumption, we
were much troubled in regard to her ease, espec
ially as our physician told us that her lungs were
weak, and after her cough had continued some
time, that they were seriously affected. He pre
scribed many things for her, principally cod liver
0 1 and stimulants; but she kept getting worse and
worse, until at last he told us that there wa9 no
ho|e for her recovery; and, to satisfy us that he
hau done all that It was possible for him to do,
called in two other doctors They, after consulta
tion, agreed that she must die, and that all we
coul l do was to make her comfortable while she
live<L This was in the month of September, 1872.
Alt hough we were assured by our physician that
our little daughter could not get well, yet we were
always looking over the papers to try to find some
thing that would at least- preserve her life for a
time. One evening I read in the Albany Evening
limes the statements of many who had been enretf
of serious diseases by vour Medicines, and feeling
tnfft they at least could do her no harm, I con
•luded to give them a twal. I therefore went to
the drug store of Mr. Miller, a gentleman with
whom 1 was well acquainted, and asked him what
lie knew or thought of your Medicines. He said:
"1 have heard them highly spoken of by my cus
to.ners, and believe them to be good" I then
b raght a bottle of the Pulmonic Syrup, as well as
s >me of the Mandrake Pills and Sea Weed Tonic,
a:id my daughter commenced to use them accord
ing to the printed directions. We all soon saw that
1 aey were doing her good. When sue had taken
them about two weeks we noticed by the paper
that von were to visit Albany professionally, and,
i akin/" advantage of this opportunity, we had you
see her. Although yon did not see her at the
worst, you ot course remember her apparently
hopeless condition. We can only say that from
the Medicines you gave her she soon rapidly im
proved and became healthy aau strong. We give
you this certificate or letter that others may know
of your great Medicines. lam satisfied thgt you

Da. J. H. 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 shall be pleased to have any
one who Is afflicted, call on or address me.

sends as the following statement, enclos
ing a letter from her daughter, who
was cured of Consumption by Dr.
Schenck's Medicines.
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.

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.
