AQBIOtLTUHAL. CAYTLI BRKIDINO—-HOW THI GRADES ARE DESIGNATED. —-AS there is often a mixing up of the use of terms used by breeders, the following from a manual OR Cattle, may serve to give our readers a proper idea as to their meaning: A breed is a race, class or kind of auimsJs, having certain peculiarities of form, and other characteristics different from others of the tarns family. Thoroughbred animals are those which have been bred in a direct line sufficiently loug to establish a fixed type, which they have the power of transmitting with uniformity to their offspring. Full blood. In Kentucky the results of the sixth cross are called "full blood." This should not be confounded with "thorough bred," as an animal that is only 63-64 of the blood of a thoroughbred is used in the cross. Thus the first cross of a thorough bred bull on a "native" cow produces a half breed—the next cross of a thorough bred on a half-breed produces a three quarters; the third cross of a thoroughbred on the three-quarters produces seven eighths; ou eeven-eightns. flfieen-six teentlis, on fifteen-sixteenths, thirty-one thirty-seconds; on thirty-one thirty-sec onds, sixty-three sixty-fourths, which is called full-blood. The uninitiated are lia ble to be. and sometimes have been impos ed upon by confounding full-blood with thoroughbred. Cross breed animals are the offspring ot a thoroughbred male of one breed out of a tho-oughbred female of another. Grades are the offspring fa thoroughbred male or female and what are known as common stock, which belong to no particular breed; or any other thorough bred or csoes-breed. High breeds are those having a preponderance of pure blood, such as the offspring of a thoroughbred bull out of a half breed cow, which is three-fourths. Full blood animals are high grades. L)w grades embrace half-breeds and all grada tions below, so long as the impress ot the thoroughbred is visible. Common stock, scrubs, or natives are those which have been indiscriminately bred until there is no recognizable trace of any bretd, and uni formity of type. To this class belong nearly all the cattle in Pennsylvania. FAKM liEU\ —This question of help is one of a great deal of interest, and has quite an important hearing upon the agii cultural development of the state in the future. It has been the custom from time immemorial for most men to hire their help in vhe spring for the season, or until the crops are harvested m the fall. Then fol low three or four months iu which the far mer gets along without help, doing his chores himself, while the hired man is out of a job, and must either live upoD what he has earned through the summer or get work from other sources. This is not the case in other kinds of business. There men work the year round, and often year after year in the place. A man likes tc be in a kind of business that will give him steady work at a fair compensation. An occupation that complies with these conditions will find a plenty of help that can render efficient services, Now is it not possible for the farmer, who needs to hue at all, to so arrange his work that he can profitably t mploy the same amount of help In the winter as in the summer. It has come to this that the winter season is the most profitable time to make butter, and many farmers make full as much in winter as in summer. Dairying in winter calls for much additional labor, certainly if it ia to be made profitable. There are many things that may be done in the win ter season that will help to equalize the work throughout the year. We allude to this as one of the points touching this ques tion of help. The employer wants effi cient help, the employed want steady work and fair compensation for the labor per formed. The relation between the two will be governed by the same laws as are all other kinds of business, the natural laws of trade, in wnlch both parties have their just and equal rights. BBOOM CORK. The soil on which it is pro posed to raise brocm corn should be rich, deeply plowed, harrowed, and if clods re main, or if the soil is newly turned, it should be roUpd. Newly broken prairie soil is not the best to grow broom corn OD, for although it may be successfully grown upon such soil, it is apt to be rank and coarse. A rolling surface is preferable to a flat one, as on the latter the water may collect, especially in wet seasons, which will destroy the vitality of the plant, mak ing it scant, brittle, and unusable. Of the varieties most in demand the Chinese, California end Missouri evergreen staud first. The seed of these can be obtained of the aeedmen. A gallon and a half of seed will plant four acres, which ought to produce a ton of corn. The sowiDg should be done with regularity, and care taken to plant all at an equal depth, else cutting may be necessary. The number of seeds to a hill may be three or lour and the dis * tance apart three feet. This is, however, only a general rule, to wnich circumstan ces may make an exception. The nature of the soil must necessarily be taken into consideration. If planted too close on somd soil tte brush will be too small, and if too far apart on other soils the brush will be too coarse. As soon as the germ sprouts, and for a month later, the soil should be diligently cultivated and hoed, unless the land Is free of weeds. It should be cut while still green, and while, at slight pressure, milk exndes from the seed. REARING LARGE HOUSES. —There is a large profit in rearing, large, powerful, en during horses, as the demand for them at extra prices among us at present is consid erably beyond the supply. This can not be fully met for years, and, when done, Europe will gladly take our surplus at equal or perhaps higher prices for an indefinite length of time. The superior profitj in rearing these is, that they can be put to light farm work at eighteen to twenty-four months of age, and the hardest of it at four years old. When they have attained fire or six years, they can be sold for city and other heavy work, and by this time they will have paid their cost of rearing on the farm, and the high price at which they now sell will be a clear gain to the farmer. This is the calculation in Europe, and it may be still more easily realized in Amer ica, where grain, grass and hay are so much cheaper and more abundant. A NEW disease called scurvy leg, which attacks poultry, is described by an exchange as follows, "it is caused by a gathering of ißfinitesßimal parasites, which come imperceptibly at first, in the crevices be tween the edges of the leg scales, and ap parently forming grayish white warts or roguh bunches. There are millions of them ia one bunch. Kerosene oil will destroy them and remove the bunches; brim stone is also said to be good." DUCKLINGS are as liable to die of chills and cramps as young turkeys, and for that reason must be kept from exposure to cold rains and heavy dews and away from the streams and ponds until they are a mouth or six weeks old PPOFESSOR ATWATEB states that the best ritioas for a cow in full flow of milk is 100 parts of com meal (by weight), 80 parts of bran, and 65 parts decoricated (huskies) potion seed meaL A Plot arc Worth Beholding. Hanging between two small windows, and catching the light from a larger one opposite, in one of the offices of Adams Express Compauy, at 69 Broadway, New "York—the office occupied by Mr. W. IL Hall, head of the delivery department—is a plainly finished but neatly framed chm mo about 2} by S teet in size, which is looked upon by hundreds of people daily, on mauy of whom it has a wouderful and salutary eifect. It represents a flight of half a dozen rough stone steps leading from the swarded bask of a placid lane to a little rustic temple set in the rugged side of the mountain which rises in stupendous proportions iu the background all - covered with a rank luxuiiant growth of foliage in brush and tree. In the open door of this little temple stauds a half concealed figure, with an arm and hand extended, holding forth a small, dimly defiued package, while seated on the sward at the foot of the steps aa aged pilgrim, barefooted, lame and de— crepid, bears a staff in one hand, and in the other holds before his dun eyes a small bottle, whose label he eagerly scans. This label bears the words "St. Jacobs Oil,the Great German Remedy.* Simple as this little chromo appears iu its unostentatious position, it has &u influence which it would be difficult to estimate. "It is to that picture and the persuasions of Mr. Hall," suit Mr. Edward J. Douglass, a gentle man connected with Mr. Hall's department "that 1 owe my present ability to perform my work* Some weeks ago 1 was violent ly attacked with sciatic rheumatism, ami hour by hour I giew worse, and nothing my family or the doctor could do gave me 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 I had so often looked at with but little interest, and then Mr. Hall came to my bedside, aud telling me how SL Jacobs Oil had cured him of a worse and longer standing case than mine, urged me to use the same remedy. 1 did so that very night, directing my wife not to spare it but to apply it thoroughly ac cording to the directions; this she did with a large piece of flannel cloth saturated with the Oil, and then bound thecioth to the affected parts. The next morning I was free from pain, and although a little sore in the hip, was able to dress myself, aad the next day resumed my duties w the office as sound as a dollar. Here lam now in full health and strength, having had no U 'ich of rheumatism or other pam since. Whenever I see one of our drivers or any other person who shows any Symp lons of lameness or stiffness, 1 point him to the picture in Mr. Hall's office, ami then direct him to go for St Jacobs OJ at once." —JV.

POTATO SALAD AND DRESSING. —Cut a dozen cold boiled potatoes into fancy 6hape* one-quarter of an inch thick; mix with some flakes ot cold boiled fl?b —hali but, cod cr salmon —and pour over them a boiled salad dressing, made with six ta blespoonfuls of melted butter or salad oil, six ditto of cream or milk,one teaspoonful of ground mustard and one cup of vinegar Boil well, then add three raw eggs beaten to a foam; remove directly from the fire and stir for five minutes. When quite cold pour over the salad; garnish with slices of cucumbers, beets, hard boiled eggs and parsley. This dressimg can be made in quantities and be kept tightly bottled for weeks. When used for green salad put it into the bottom of the bowl and the salad on top and stir together when ready to serve. Salt and pepper to taste. INDESTRUCTIBLE WRITING INK. —An ink that cannot be erased even with acids is obtained by the following process. To good gall ink, add a strong solution of fine soluble Prussian blue in distilled wa ter. This addition makes the ink, which was previously proof against alkalies, equally proof against acids, and forms a writing fluid which cannot be erased with out destruction to the paper. The ink writes a greenish blue, but alterward tnrns black.

Without doubt there are now. and hava baen for Years punt, several medicines or remarkable merit before the public—medlctuea which have been Used, in very many cases, with excellent success. The uamea of these will readily recur to our read era, and they are the nauicaof preparatlona whose worth, for certain purposes, no one ul aupiKMtd 10 deny. Hut we are fully Justified, by uiuleuiub.e and notorious facts, lu saying, and we do unhesi tatingly say, that the oue great medicine of the present day—the medlclue, we mean, which now stands pre-eminent above all other*—is the fa moua N KUKriNK of Mr. H. K. Stevens of Huston. Some of the undeniable facta respecting this fa mous medicine are these: First, it is astonishingly efficient In really curing the various diseases for which it la especially com pounded and Intended. Second, It acta with a celerity which Is generally very surprising. A single bottle has often either cured the user of a serious difficulty, or bronglit about a most ugreeahle change, while a very few bolt lea have lu thousands of distances afTecfed the complete cure of a long standing disease which had previously buitlcd the skill of the best phy sicians. Third, It acts directly nnon the blood, of which It Is the only |>owerfnl and thorough purifier. Fourth, the testimonials tu support of these facta and the extraordinary worth of this medi cine are from well-known and most respect able men and women, and, in many In stances, from persons holding the highest social positions. They are not certiUcates from unknown and irresponsible individuals. We, our selves, know the very high estimation In which Vegetme is held in oue of the best families In the city.

As a purifier of the blood and a quick renovator and invigorator of the human system, physical and menial, no medicine, as is now generally conceded, has ever been devised and compounded at all equal to it; and, as a speedy aud thorough curs for such complaints as catarrh, cough, stomach weakness and faintness, loss of appetite, dyspep sia, caucerous humors, scrofula, rheumatism, kid ney aud some other equally serious complaints, Vegetlne altogether surpasses any and ail other known medicinal preparations. The rapidity with which this great medicine has won lis way into all parts of this country aud various foreign ones since its discovery and introduction, not many years ago, is something alike surprising and con firmatory of us ipu'iusic excellence. —I'rovideuee, (1C L) Uazelts.
