AGRIC CJLTURE.
TRUSTWORTHY CORNERS —Owners of
land, whether in small lots or large, are
too apt to find themselves in difficulty, or
leave their heirs in trouble, for want of
permanent and Ineffaoeable landmarks
showing the precise location of their prop
erties. Sometimes a wooden post is plan
ted, which, in the course of years, rots or
becomes loose, and when looked for can
bo found, btones set on the surface are
by no means safe from displacement. In
small lots a fence post is usually set as ex
actly as possible on the corner; but these
lots often obtain a value which makes
every inch a measuie of considerable gam,
or loss, and there are many uncertain inches
in the sectional measure of a fence pod.
A large manufacturer unwittingly put the
wall of a lofty and valuable building over
his liue, beguiled by a displaced mark.
His neighbor, a grasping 'man of business,'
took advantage of this to make a coeo ence
less claim, aud great expense has been iu
cuired already for surveys and legal pro
ceedings without any settlement being yet
made. This has put other neighbors to
looking up and securing their ''corners.''
A good plan latelv pursued is to sink in
the giound at (undei) a corner a stone of
some peculiar color, Irom a distant source,
with the exact point or corner drilled or
chissled. Anothei stone is.set upon that
one which reaches above the surtace as au
indicator or finder. If it is a fence corner,
a post is set on each line three or four feet
from the corner, and the rails extend t)
a ihaui post which stands upon the indica
ting or surface stone, and is firmly held by
the rails. This leaves all tidy and perfect
ly sate and precise. The Winter season,
during mild weather, is a favorable time
for thus securing the boundary.
To Keep Tikes on Whskls —A writer
says: I ironed a wag* n some years ago
for my own use. and before putting on the
tires i filled the felloes with linseed oil,
and the tires have worn out and were never
loose. 1 also ironed a buygy for my own
use, sevenyears ago, and the tires are as
tight as wlien put on. Aly method of fill
ing the ft lioes is as follow 8 1 use a long
cast-iron heater made for the purpose. The
oil is brought to a bo ling heat, and the
wheel is placed on a stick so as to hang in
the oil. An hour is sufficient for a com
mon fized felloe, of which the timber
should be dry, as green wood will not take
oil. Care should be tan en that the oil
does not get hotter than the boiling heat,
else the wood might be set on fire and be
burned. Timber filled with oil is not sue
c< ptible to water and is much more dura
ble. 1 was much amused some years ago
when I told a blacksmith how to keep his
tires t ght by h.s tel ing me that it was a
profitable business to lighten tires; and
the wagonmaker will also say that it is a
profitable business to him to repair wheels,
tut what w-.1l the farmer, who helps sup.
poit the wheelwright and smith, say?
Much interest has been revived in re
gard to the question whether the trunks of
trees elongate after being once formed.
Careful science has long since decided, by
evidence that satisfies every one familiar
with the txperiments, that there is no such
elongatiou. The fact, however, that at
times branches will rise several inches, or
even a foot or two, iu a number of years
is so get ea Jy believed by people—all of
whom couid scarcely err—has led to re-in
vebticalioE. It is cow found that tree
trunks may be elevated, "hough not stretch
ed. Trees on rocks, by ine additions of
woody matier to main roots, will be lifted
by jusi so much growth as takes place on
the under suiface; snd Dr. Lipham, ot
Milwaukee, shows that in many cases trees
are giadually raised by iroet, so thai iu time
they may be as much as a loot higher than
they were when the first tiers ot branches
were formed. Tu'S is an excellent iJJustra
tion tow the people may often be right i j
regard to popular observation, and ye* sci
ence not be ntcessarily wioog. in this case
both "science" and "the people" had to
lehrn from each other.
l£o far as the iXpanment of Agriculture
Its Lten able to obtsun iufcrmaiion on the
subjeet, 161.583 acres of of land in the
United States are devoted to the culture of
the grape, giving a production of 25,453,-
6i7 gallons of wine, of an estimated value
of $13,426,174. California leads in re
spect to both the area planted and the
quantity of production, while the industry
is not so concentrated anywhere east of
the Rocky Mountains in that biaie. Yet,
while Caiiiornia pioduces three or lour
million gallons more than all the other
States, the value of the crops of the latter
is, iu consequence of their greater accessi
bility to the market, more man twice as
great as lLai of the crop of California.

A Plctnro Worth Beholding.
Hanging betwocn two small windows,
and catching the light from a larger one
opposite, in one of the offices of Adams
Express Company, at 69 Broadway, NJW
York —the office occupied by Mr. W. H.
Hall, head of the delivery department—is
a plainly finished but neatly framed chrrw
mo about 2} by S tuet in size, which is
looked upon by hundreds of people daily,
on many of whom it has a wonderful and
salutary eilcct. It represents a flight of
half a dozen rough stone steps loading
from the swarded bank of a placid la&u to
a little rustic temple set in the rugged side
of the mountain which rises in stupendous
proportions iu the backgrouud all covered
with a rank luxuiiaut growth of foliage in
brush and tree. In the open door of this
little ten p'e stands ah df concealed figure,
with an arm and hand txtended, holding
forth a small, dimly defined package, wuile
seated on the sward at the foot of the steps
an aged pilgrim, barefooted, lame and Je
crepid, bears a stall in oue hand, and iu
the other holds before his dun eyes a small
bottle, whose label he eagerly scans. This
label bears the words * 81. Jacobs CM,the
Great German Remedy/' buup'.e as this
little chrouio appears iu Its unostentatious
position, it has an iufinence which it would
be difficult to estimate. "It is to that
picture and the persuasions of Mr. Hall,"
suit Mr. Edward J. Douglass, a gcntlo
man conueciod with Mr. Hall's department
"that i owe my present ability to perform
my work. Some weeks ago 1 was violent
ly attacked with sciatic rheumatism, and
hour by hour 1 giow worse, and nothing
my family or the doctor could do gave mo
any relief. 1 began to thiuk in a few days
that my case was hopeless and that 1 was
doomed to be an invalid and hopeless
cripple for life. But at last 1 thought of
that picture which 1 had so often looked
at with but liitlo interest, aud then Mr.
llall came to my bedside, and telling me
how SL Jacobs 0.1 had cured him of a
worse and longer standing case than nunc,
urged ie to use the same remedy. I did
so that very night, directing my wife not
to spare it but to apply it thoroughly ac
cording to the direcuous; this she did with
a large pieco of flonuel cloth saturated
with the 0.1, and then bound tho cioth to
the affected parts. Tho next morning I
was free from p dn, aud although a Utile

and the next day rammed my dunes m

since. Whenever I see one of our drivers
or any other person who shows any symp
tonsof lameness or stillness, I point him to

THE ONE GREAT MEDICINE.
Without doubt there arc now. aud huve beun for
Team jsisi, several medicine* or rcinarkuble merit
before the public—medicine* which Itttva beuu
used, in very many eases, with excellent success.
The mime* of these will readily recur lo our read
ers, ami they are the names of preparations whoso
worth, for certain purposes, no oue ;a supposed to
deny. Hut we are fully Justified, by undeinab.e
and notorious facts, in sayiug, and we do unhesi
tatingly say, thai the one great medicine of the
proscut day—the medicine, we uieau, which uow
etamts pre-euiineut above all others—is the fa
mous \ AUKi INK of Mr. 11. K. Stevens of Boston.
Some of the uudeiitable facts respecting this fa
tuous medicine sre thes*:
First, it U astonishingly efficient In really curing
the var.ous diseases for whleli It Is especially com
pounded and Intended.
Second, it acts with a celerity which Is generally
very surprising. A single bottle has often either
cured the user of a serious difficulty, er brought
about a most agreeable change, white a very few
bottles have In thousands of instance* affected the
complete cure of a long standing disease which
had previously buttled Ilia skill of the best phy
sicians.
Third, It acts directly upon the blood, of which
It Is the only powerful anil thoroagh purifier.
Fourth, the test.moiuals in support of these
facts and the extraordinary worth of this medi
cine uro from well-known and most respect
aide men and women, and, tu many In
stances, from persons holdiug the h.ghe*l
social positions. They are not certificate* fioiu
unknown uud irresponsible Individuals, ue, our
selves, know the very lugh estlmai.ou In which
Veg*.tine is held in one of the bust families in the
city.
There Is, In short, and can be, no doubt or mis
take whatever aland the unprecedented and sur
prising ertlcacy, value and success of the \egetiue.
As u purifier of the blood uud a quick renovator
and invigoraior of the human system, physical sml
mental, uo medicine, as is uow generally couceded,
has ever been devised and compounded at all
equal to it; aud, as a speedy uud thorough cure
for such comp.amta as catarrh, cough, stomach
weakness aud fatntuesa, loss of appetite, dyspep
sia, cancerous humors, scrofula, rheumatism, kid
ney and some other equally serious couiplaiuta,
Vegetlne altogether surpasses any and ail other
known medicinal preparations. The rapidity
with which this great mediciue lias won its way
into all paths of this country and various foreign
ones since its discovery and introduction, not many
years ago, is something alike surprising aud con
firmatory of its intrinsic excellence.—lTovidance,

In some of our Southern exchangewe
find mention made of a new material sui
ted to tLo manufacture of bagging and
rope. The plant i* known pretty generally
in the central Northern Statos as bear-grass
and farther south as the Spanish dagger.
II belongs to the yucca family, which con
tains about a dozen varieties, all stout and
tough in leaf and fibre, and is known as a
beautiful and abundant bloomer. In Ken
lucky and Tennessee bear-grass has been
used for hanging up meat in smokehouses
over since those States began to become
settled. According to one Journal the
yuoca plant, or this variety of it, is omni
present everywhere in the South below 40
degrees north latitude, and if what is
claimed for it is true, it furnishes another
importaut item in the great resources of
that section of the Uuiou. The fibre is
represented as beiug sireng as hemp, and
almost as indestructible as iron, except
by fire. Its advantages are briefly summed
up as follows: The plant grows more than
one hundred years, loses less than oue-tenth

All remedial agents capable of destroying life by
an overdose should be avoided. Morphine, opium,

ful remedies, do at certain times, jj very small
doses, relieve the patient during their action in the
system. Bnt perhaps the second dose, if repeated,
may aggravate and increase the suffering, and an
other dose cause death. There is no necessity for
using these uncertain agents when a positive reme
