AGRICULTURE. WITH A WORD ON MILKING. — The care 4nd treatment of the cow's udder, so inti mately connected with all that ptrlmns to the finer grades of table butter, is attract ing that attention among dairymen which its importance demands. This glandular organ is too little understood, and its lia bility to numerous and complicated disca tea is frequently the cause of improper Irealmcnt in tbe way of milking and im proper food. The cow, if docile and gen tle, does not manifest any uneasiness while being milked; on the contrary she likes to have the pressure caused by a full udder removed if properly performed. Whenever the cow shows signs of undue uneasim ss something is evidently wrong and the cause should be ascertained. In Europe where the "milkmaid" has complete charge of the cows they are said to be more lree from disease than in this country, where the "hired" man is allowed to do the milk ing. How then should the cow be milked may be a pertinent query to suggest, aud if possible answer. Tbe teats are grasped by both hands, the fingers being pressed together toward the palms of the hands and both brought clown so far as the udder will admit- The milker should avoid all unnecessary pulling or twitching of the teats which ultimately affects aud disar ranges the internal organs of the udder. Some cows üblk very easily wnile others, on account of the small aperture through which the milk comes from the teats, milk hard. A free milker will "give down" her milk m from three to five minutes, while bard milkers require from eight to ten minutes in which to do the milkiug Garget is one of the most common diseases of the udder and is a serious one, not only affecting the health of the cow but greatly injuring the quality of the cream. When ever this disease manifests itself a tea spoonful of powdered saltpetre should be given the cow, mixing with meal or bran and repeating several times at intervals of two or three days until the disease is cured. It is a singular tact that this disease seldom attacks poor cows —that is, cows that are not "rich" milkers. Frequently the cow is so badly affected that one of the teats ceases to give milk aud she is kuown as a "three-titted" cow. In ail cases where fine butter is made the udder of the cow is carefully washed and wiped before milk ing. This operation is necessary in order to secure pure milk free from all impurities of the stable. The water used should be tepid or blood warm, and in no case should be hot or cold, since the one will chili, the other cause the teats to crack. Too much watei should not bt used, simply dip the cloth into the water, nog ii and wash the udder aud on both sides of it, alter wbieh rub dry with a solt woolen cloth. The operation may be done in a short time aud will well repay one for the trouble. The milk should be strained at once as soon as tbe milking is performed and in no case should wcodeu pails be used. Regularity as to time of milking is necessary as much as feeuing and ihe difficulty of cows not "holding out" will be avoided. IN Europe the carrot is grown to a great extent for feeding to cattle in the winter months. Roots of some kind are fed the winter through to the cows. An lowa raiser of Jersey cows says he is accustomed to feed carrots, of which he usually raises 600 bushels per acre. Carrots increase the flow of milk and improve the appearance and quality of butter. Beets are prefer able to carrots for increasing the flow of milk; the milk, however, which is produc ed from beets, is not as good for butter. The breeder mentioned above has found it difficult to raise bis calves ou clear Jersey milk, and advises the feediug of that which has been skimmed. THE Cultivator and Country Gentle wan say t: "It is mportant to sow barley as early in spring as the ground can be re duced to a good mellow condiiion. On such soils as will admit fall plowing without their becoming complicated again ty the agency of rams and melting snows, some advantage is derived txom tLe operation, but it will be found best more commouly to depend on thorough underdraining on soils that have not natural diainage, and early spring plowing, The time at which the seed may be sow n will, ot course, vary with soils and latitudes.'* OUR readers must remember tbat only recently has it been eleauly demonstrated that a dead brancn on a tree makes almost as great a strain on the mam plant for moisture as does a living one. It is one of the moat important discoveries of modern lotanical science to the practical horticul turist, as by this knowledge he can save many a valuable tree. When one has been transplanted some roots get injured, and the supply of moisture in the best cases is more or less deficient. Any dead branch or any weak one iliould therefore be at once cut away. A STRIP of land bordering on the Medi terranean, about 100 miles long and 5 or 6 wide is the raisin-prexluclDg teintory of Spain. The Muscatel grapes arc carefully cut in August, laid on a sou of bed made of fine pebbles, and dried, being turned often until they arc st fficiently cured. Then they are taKen to the wine press-.s, where, after being laid in trays, they are subjected to a heavy pressure, when they are leady for market. THE general food of the Norwegians if rye Dread, milk and cheese. As a parti cular luxury peasants eat "sharke, '* which are thin slices of salt hung meat, dried in the wind, but tnis indulgence in animal food is very rare indeed. A common treat on high dayß and holy consists of a thick hasty pudding or porridge of oatmeal • or rye .meal, seasoned by two or three picked herrings or salted mackerel. PLASTER should always be kept on band in the bain. It will promote the growth of nearly all plants, allotds partial protec tion sgainst drought, and will furnish so luble lime to plants that n< ed it. Of all the fertilizers known plaster is the cheap est, and, for its cost, is the most remuner ative, Two bushels only are needed for a good application. It is a special fertilizer for clover, beans, peas and potatoes. TEE exportation of potatoes, cabbages and othtr vegetables from Germany to this country has constantly increased since it began last fall. One steamer in October took out 8190 heads of cabbage; four oth have since left with 6000 bushels of pota toes, 11 000 heads of cabbage and 80 bags of turnips. THE value of all manufactured fertilizer depends upon their solubility, and these manures should all be appropriated by tbe growing crops. To expect any such fer tilizing matter to remain in the ground for another year is to presume that the fertiliz ers are not properly manufactured. Bone dust, however, will remain in the soil sev eral years. AN agreeable flavor in cattle food stimu lates appetite and probably promotes di gestion. USE chemical manure in preference to any other for potatoes. Ordinary manure may contain the mildew seeds. THE roots of appie trees have been found extend twenty-six fee; or more. DOMESTIC. BUCKWHEAT CAKES. — One quart of buckwheat meal, one pint cf flour, half a teacupful of veaat; salt to taste. Mix the flour, buckwheat and sait with as much water, moderately warm, as will make it into a thin batter. Beat it well, then add the yeast; when well mixed, set it in a wann place to nse. As soon as they are very light, greaso the ((riddle, ami bake them a delicate brown, butter them with good butter, aud eat while hot. BTALK BKKAD GRIDDLE CAKES.— Soak your stale bread in water about two hours before using it (it may soak all night if you wish it for breakfast) break it thor oughly with a potato masher, add to each quart ot the batter one egg, one table spoonful of flour two tablespooufuls of Indian meal, a little salt, aud a dessert spoonful of baking powder. Bake on a griddle as you do buckwheat cakes. 1! de sirea, milk may be used instead of water, and the egg omitted. To MAKE A NICE BROTH TOR A SICK PERSON. — Take a few slices of lean dried beef, put to boil iu a quart of water or a little more, wash two tablespooufuls of rice, put it in with the beef and simmer slowly till the rice has boiled very tender, put in more water, if necessary, win e boiling; when done take out the beef and add one or two spoonfuls of rich sweet cream; boil two or three minutes, pour in a bowl, aud wheu cool it is ready for use.

Spice a sufficient quantity of vinegar to taste, cover them, (we like a little sugar added), and when boiled pour it over the eggs and cover iheci closely. Do not pour the vinegar over them too h t. or it may split them. To make "Honeycomb Pudding," take one half cup flour, one halt cup sugar, one half cup Mew Orleans molasses, half tea spoonful salt, one dessert spoonful soda dissolved in water one ounce butter.

Pour into moulds and set away to cool. This very good the second day atter it is made. IT is said that if linseed oil is applied to sore teats for a few times, both betore aud after milkings it will effeotually cuie any case of the kind. Many cows are kickers until their teals are so treated, when they become as quiet as lambs, and seem de lighted in being milked. Teats uiay ap pear smooth, but still are tender, aud only need a little oil to make the cow perfectly willing to be milked.

The Accomodation Car Company of Chicago has begun operations with a cap ital stock of $1,000,000. The object of the company is to build and equip a thou sand cars and put them upon tbe s'reets ot Chicago. The car is the patent of Mr. Presser, and as regards present appearance is a queer oglesome looking craft, which carries its track along with it, and to all intents and purposes is designed to traverse any and all lines of streets. The car, which is of the ordinary kind, is mounted, in the middle, upon a truck which sits on four wheels, each aDout one foot in diame ter. These wheels run around the inside of two steel tires, each ten feet in diame ter, and which rest upon the ground, and are held onto to tbe car by a set of wheel clamps. The car is designed to carry fifty people, and the owners claim that the more it carries the easier it runs. It will be stopped in the usual manner, and two horses will be required to pull it. The owners say thev intend putting the cars upon the principal streets of the city, and placing the cash tare at 4c, and selling 80 rides for sl. The leaf fibre called pita or bromelia, which grows wild in large quantities in Honduras, is said to be the strongest fibre known, and "yet is capable of such finish that it is used half and half with silk, and also with wood and silk, making a very durable fabric," Although the value of this fibre has been known for not less than twenty years, it is only recently that suit able machinery for preparing it for manu facturing purposes has been devised. When finished and ready for sale the fibre Is worth SIOOO per ton. It might be well for paper-makers to examine this fibre, and determine by experiment whether they oan make it useful. HUMOROUS.

Dr. Bpeok stales that he uses the Oil in Ins family as a household remedy, a sort of universal panacea for all aches and pains, and has always found it to act nioet happily. His attention was called to it by the mauy testimonials in its favor, aud he one day used it upon him self for sore throat. Two applications were sufficient to effect a cure. lie also used it on his little girl for sore throat with gratifying success. The same child had scarlet fever this winter which left the tendons of one leg much contracted. The little prattler couldn't walk without as sistance aud suffered much incouveuieuce and pain. Several applications of St. Jacobs Oil restored her liuik to its normal couditinu aud she lias uot experienced any trouble siuee. Dr. Sj>eck states tnat he has also seen the Oil r.ct charmingly in toothache. lie thinks St. Jacobs Oil is a slerliug remedy, and dues not hesituto to recommend it for rheumatism, etc. Two sides to it: "There are two sides to everything," said the lecturer, "1 re peat it, there are two sides " At this juncture a tired looking little man stood up in the front seat to say: "Well if you have no objections, I will just step out •ud see if there are two sides to this hall. 1 know there is an inside, and if I find there is an outside you'll know It oy my not coming back.
