AGRICULTURE.
STABLE CLEANING.— Foity to fifty years
ago, and we are sorry to say that the evil
still exists at the present time, at points
far away from towns and cities aud dense
populations, there was nothing so much
neglected as the keeping of cow stables
clean. As a common rule thay were clean
ed out once a week —oil Saturday—and
then It was no so much on account of the
comfort and health of the animals and the
convenience aud tidiness ot the milker, as
simply because the pile of manure might he
gotten out of the way to allow ot the put
ting up and letting loose of the cattle
mornings and eveuings. We have seen
the manure in the cattle stalls two feet
d< ep of almost clear dimg, with the hinder
part of the animal at least one toot higher
than the tiout part, and the cattle being
driven out to the pasture field with quan
tities of fresh dung hanging to their flanks,
which from day to day received layer upon
layer until it was a disgusting mass, and
was left there until it became dry and hard
and fell otl in flakes of its own action. The
litter —about a fourth the quautity cattle
now receive—consisted of sialas of corn
fodder which could not be eaten, the weeds
left in hay, the rakiugs ot dirty straw lying
about the outbuildings, aud someilines
mixed wttli a few leaves from the woods.
The food of the dairy cows consisted of
musty corufodder, second crop clover and
orchard grass, badly cured, chaff from the
winnowiogs of the threshed grain, oats,
straw, Ac. The cows were of course as
thin almost as skeletons, aud their product
of poor milk was about one-half of what
would have been obtained from properly
fed cattle. The fact is that the farmer
took no rride in his live stock. The idea
of giving them clean stalls, good ventila
tion and nourishing food, never entered his
thoughts, and if it did would have been
regarded a9 an utter waste of mouwy,
without any return. But look at the sta
bles now of the dairy-stock! Their stalls
are wide, clean and fresh, the cattle them
selves are bright and sleek, with no pro
jecting ribs, and pleasant to handle, well
fed, comfortable m every way, and giving
two or three times the quantity of milk
and as rich as it is abundant. The butter
fiom such cows commands twice the price
trom its careful manufacture and Uniterm
excellence. At the present time also the
farmer feels more pride in his dairy stock
than in anything else upon his farm. He
finds that they give a double return for all
the extra care aud cost ot their improved
treatment, and that he has nothing upon
his premises that pays him so well in every
respect as they. Finding ro satisfactory
a return from this part < f his stock, he
extends iLis txlia care iu Lis purchases of
sheep and swine, and after a tew years of
trial he discovers that they pay iqually
wall in proportion as bis cows. And in
that way his improved system of husband
ry progresses from year to year, ana his
methods are patterns for his neighbors,
until a whole district is revolutionized aud
the old harum sc. rum ways are utterly
abandoned,
RAIMNG TURKEYS.— SeIect by weight
the largest fowls to breed from; if possible,
have the gobblers from IWO to four years
od. 'J he gobbler and heD should not be
related to each other. Have no more than
four hsns to each gobbler, and do not
starve them during the wiuter. Watch
them closely abcut laying lime, as they
nearly always hunt a nest the day before
they deposit their first egg. Make a go<xi
large nest in fome building that you can
coi fine them ID, and next morning after
th*y hunt their nest catch them, and shut
them up iu the place where you have made
the Dett, for after they have laid one egg
there tbey will always go back to that
nest. If they choose a good place of their
own accord 1 let them alone; though 1 put
a few common hen's eggs in the nest and
lake out the turkey eggs every day, and
keep in a cool place, as heat injures them
quicker, than cold, piovided it does not
freeze. I let each turkey set the first time
she wants to; but let no young turkeys
run with a common hen, for if they do so
half a dozen times they are more trouble
thaD fifty running with a turkey hen. Tue
advantage of letting turkeys set on their
first laying of eggs is tbu: The youug tur
keys are hatched before the weeds and
grass get high enough to wet and befoul
them iu the mornings. 1 watch them
two or three days, that no weak ones are
lost; then they get no more attention, only
feeding when they come to the house. On
DO jiccount, give them raw food when
small. I feed mine on corn bread, some
times soak it in sour milk, and sometimes
give iheui curd. Never shut them up un
less it rains hard. 1 have been raising tur
keys foi several years, and have never had
one sick yet. Most of my chickens died
with cholera last fall, and one of my tur
keys took it very bad; his flesh had turned
dark colored when 1 found him. I gave
him a pill of assaloeiida the size of a pea
and about a tablespoonful of equal parts of
sulphur, cayenne pepper and rosin, and he
got.well. I gave the others sulphur twice
a week lor about a month, and none of
them took the cholera.
POTITOKB UNDER STRAW. —Several years
ago there was much said about growing
potatoes under straw, and we published at
the time several reports from those who
had tried the method with success. Inter
est in the subject appears to be renewed,
to judge from ii quiries. The method is
very simple. The land is prepared in the
usual manner and the rows marked off;
the sets are dropped along the rows and
very slightly or not all covered with soil.
The whole field, or bed, is then covered
with eight or ten inches of old straw.
[Nothing more is required until digging
tune, unless some strong weeds should
make their way through the straw, and
these may be pulled. It is claimed that the
yieid is larger and the potatoes are much
handsomer than those treated in the usual
manner.
FLCUB was formerly made by simply
grinding wheat at one operation to the fin
est flour from the bran, necessarilly grind
ing in much of the bran with flour and
discoloring it, while much of the very best
material was separated with the bran and
lost. The later common method is to
grind very coarsely the wheat several times
using strong blasts of air between each
grinding to separate the bran from the
granulated interior portion and at last
crush it to the floor, relieved of all the
braD. The new electric method consists
in passing the middlings under revolving
hard-rubber cylinders, electrified by con
tact with sheepskin. The particles of bran
fly up to meet the rubber, from which they
are turued off in a side channel, the puri
fied middlings, freed from bran, passing
through rollers to become fine flour.
TBE primrose is, strictly speaking, a
biennial plant, but is usually treated as an
annual, flowering abundantly the first
year; but when subjected to skillful man
agement will make large and superb spe
cimens the second year. They are gener
ally, however, the most satisfactory when
grown in lather small pots, 3nd the plants
when done blooming replaced by a tresb
stock of young seediings. The seed may
be planted at almost any season of the
year, but tne best periods are Irom April
to July. ,
DOMESTIC.
CLEANSING OLD CHAIRS. —The first thins:
is to cleau the old piece, ripping off every
stitch of upholstery, and dusting. Have a
kettle of strong.potash or soda water made
with washing soda, to take off the grease,
and if it is badly stained, the varnish also.
Furniture which is thoroughly renovated
by dealers, is washed by strong potash
water, and the varnish scraped off with
knives and sandpaper till the wood is in
its native cleanness. The lops of tables
and desks are sometimes plaued to cleau
tbcm, but I should hate to have the thick
ness diminished a hair's breadth. If old
paint is to be retnovad, slake one pound of
pe&rlash and mix till it is like paint;spread
this over the paint with a brush and lot it
stay OL over night. In the morning wash
off with clear water ami scrape with a
knife, or wash with strong potash water,
a pound of potash to a gallon of water.
Strong lye from wood ashes is h8 good, or
better. Soft soap spread oyer paint and
left for a few hours will remove a light
coating, Next, sandpaper the surface, to
leave it smooth and free from scratches or
piane marks. This is done with a sheet
of sandpaper or glasspaper, costing five
cents, aud takes five or ten minutes to ap
ply. Always rub with the grain of the
wood. The dents and warpings may be
taken out, if not too deep, by laying a wet
woolen cloth over the spot, noiding a U it
iron over It, and steaming it. This a is te
dious process, but repays the careful house
keeper who takes pride m her old mahog
any aud walnut. Where veneer is off, it
is a nice thiug to fit in another piece, but
not impossible even to an unaccustomed
baud. Veneers of all kinds aud thicknesses
are sold by the inch or foot at all wood
working and mechanic's supply shops and
can be sent by mail. The chipped place
is to be cut clean with a sharp kuife, not
rounder fquarc, but slantiug with the grain
of the wood. The veueer is wet, wneu it
may be cut easily as leather with a sharp
shoe knife, glued iu with hot glue, and a
weight laid upon it till dry.
IlonbEuoij} Hurra.— TO keep se-us from
the depredations of mice, mix some pieces
of camphor with them. Camphor placed
in trunks or drawers will prevent mice
from doing them injury.
To keep your kuives and forks from
rusting, make a tianuel bag, and stitch
from top to bottom, an inch aud a half
apart, a dozen times, making a receptacle
for each. Koll aud keep in a dry place.
To make hard water soft fill the wash
boiler or tank with hard water, then put
half a teaspoon of wood ashes into a wool
en bag; cover this with cottou cloth to
prevent ashes sifting out; let this lie in
the water until that is a arm enough to
use.
To give a delicious flavor to lamb which
is to be eaten cold, put iu the water in
which it is to be boiled whole cloves aud
long stick cinnamon. To one leg of lamb
allow one small handful of cloves, two or
three sticks cinnamon. If the lamb it to
be roasted, boil the cloves aul cinnamon
in water, and baste the lamb with it.
BIRDS FRIID. —This is fi nice way in
which to fry snipe, quail, squabs, or birds
of any kind m oil. Pluck draw and singe
them properly, then wash them out quick
ly. It allowed to soak in w T atf r, the tla
vor will be impaired. Mauy cooks main
tain that poultry and birds should never be
wa-.bed, aud that if properly drawn they
will not need washing. A f ter washing
them carefully and quickly, arain them
well, and then dry them between the told
of a soft cloth. Place lheiu upon ice and
let them remain long enough to become
chilled through, tint they may be very
cold when put into the hot olive oil. Sea
sou them with pepper and salt, aud dredge
them lightly With dour, or, it' you choose
egg aud bread crumb t lie on Put as much
olive oil into the frying kettle as will cover
the birds. Let it get hot, and watch it
until a pale bluish smoke begins to rise;
ihen-put in the birds. Let them fry a
rich browu, taking care not to let them
burn. Drain, when doue, and s.rve them
crisp and hot.
DELICIOUS fruit candy is made fro n this
recipe : Get one cocoauut, one aud one
half pounds of granulated sugar, wet the
sugar with the milk of the c c >anut, put
it iu a saucepan, let it heat slowly, then
boil rapidly for five minutes, add the

half a pound of blanched almonds, one
pint oi pecans, half a cup of chopped
walnuts. Beat all well together, then
pour it over the other in the tin, and when

OTBTKR FRITTERS- —One pint of oysters,
tw© eggs, one pint of flour, one heaping
te&spoonful of Bait, one tablespoonful ol
salad oil, enough water with the oyster
liquor to make a scant half pint. Drain
and chop the oysters. Add the water and

tue cranberries are cool spread them on
the paste about an inch thick. Roll it,
tie close in a flannel cloth, boil two hours
and serve with sweet sauce.
BOILED CIDER PIE.—A boiled cider pie
may be a novelty to some one. Take four
tablespoonfuls ot boiled cider, three table
spoonfuls each of sugar and water, two
tablespoonfuls of flour and one egg; beat
all together. Bake in a deep plate, and
with upper and under crusts.
NAPDE BISCUIT. —The yolks of twelve

OR. SCHENCK'S
PULMONIC SYRUP,
SEAWEED TONIC,
AND
MANDRAKE PILLS,
when taken as directed, will cleanse the whole sys
tem, restore the appetite, make the food digest
easily and cause it to make new and healthy blood.
In this way the system la put In a condition that
renders it possible for the lungs to heal In Con
sumption, and lu no other way cau this disease be
cured.
Before anything can lie done towards a cure of
stomach and bowels must be cleansed, so that the
fo<sl that is taken will digest aud make healthy
blood. Km&clatlou or loss of flesh In Consump
tion, Is always caused by a lack of nourishment,
and nourishment can only come from well digested
food. To attempt to stop a cough when the lungs
are diseased is always dangerous. To try to stop
night sweats withoul building up the general sys
tem by well digested food Is useless, aud In many
cases the medianes given to relieve these symp
toms are the cause of death. As soon as the
stomach, liver and h >we!s are put m a healthy con
dition by the Mandrake Pills, (hen take the Sea
weed Tou'C alier eating. This keeps ihe food
sweet, and assists it to d gest. At the same time
take the Pulmonic Sy i up, which relieves the
cough and assists nature to throw off the accumu
lated corruption in ihe lungs, which. If not thrown
off, will soon poison the blood. This Syrup Is the
greatest blood purifier known. Us continued use
Is sure to expel the poisouuus germs of Scrofula
aud all blood diseases.
In answer to the oft-repeated questions as to
how my Medicines are to lie used in Consumption,
I wish to give some general rules:
Take from four to six of the Mandrake Pills ou
going to bed; the dose should be regulated by the
patient's own knowle Ige of his system. If the
bowels are eas ly moved, four may be sufficient,
but there is never any d mger in their free use, and
it is therefore advisable m most cases, to take the
full dose. When the Pills have operated freely,
take the Seaweed Tonic immediately after each
meal; this will ai i digestion, give tone and
strength to the stoma h, and keep the food from
souring, thus prevent iig flatulence, belching of
wind from the stomach, and also the coining up
of fo :d lu the throat.
The Pulmonic Hrrup should be taken regularly,
the patient averaging about one-fourth or one
flflh of a bottle in a dav.
My Mandrake Pills, which unlock the ducts of
the gall bladder and cause the liver lo aeerete
hea thy bile, should be c untuned until the tongue
ia clean and the bowels regular, but not m as large
doses as at first. 1 have fottud the following to be
the best method in all cases:
First dose, 4 to 8 Pills; second dose, two days
after, 2 to 3 Pills; third dose, omitting for two
days, Ito 2 Pills. Then stop taking them for one
week, taking the Syrup and Tonic in the mean
time, when the same course of the Pills is to be
repeated, and so on until the cure is completed.
The Seaweed Tonic should be taken in small doses
at first, and gradu illy increased up to the full
dose, as given on the dlrcoaons around the bottle.
We cannot say too much in regard to the care
that should lie taken against fresh cohls. All the
medicine and care in the world cannot perform a
cure in serious lung disease, if the patient is con
stantly adding to the irr.tation of the lungs by
catching cold, and the only way to avoid this, tto
stay indoors in stormy or cold weather. Keep the
feet and hands dry and warm. Have the air von
breathe as near 7* degrees as possible; and the
same temperature uight aud day. It Is easy to
regulate th s w.th a thermometer In your room.
Tiie room should be aired, but never when occu
pied by the patient. Avoid all < ranghts from
windows. It Is better to breathe air that is a lit
tle Impure, than to run the risk of fresh colds
from ventilating your room, in cold or unreason
able weather. I say that Consumption can ie
cured by tne uae of my Medicines, but It Is only
with the help of the patient that It can be done,
lie must follow my directions in every particular.
And, in conclusion, I woo d say that I do not
wish any one to use my remedies unless they can
follow my directions, for they will be of but little
use to them unless they do.

Loiters From Those Who
Have Been Cured.
Philadelphia, Aug. 18,1880.
DR. J. 11. SCHKNCX,
Dear Sir For several years 1 was troubled with
a chronic irritation tn my throat, so that every
time 1 took a little cold I commenced to cough,
and as I took cold very easily, I was coughing
more or less every day from November to May.
in February, 1862, 1 saw one of your pamphlets,
which told what the Pulmonic Syrun would da I
bought a bottle of it, although I had not much
faith in it, and in three days my cough ent rely left
me; but 1 kept a bottle of th Syrup in my house
tor two or three years, BO that whenever I took
cold, or had a little tickling in mv throat, I would
take a small swallow of it when I went to bed. and
that was the last of it. My throat now is, and has
been for several years, as well as it ever was, and
I now seldom take cold, or if I do, it only lasts
some twenty-four hours. Thanks to the Pulmonic
Syrup. I have recommended it to a great many
persons in the last eighteen years, and it has
given general satisfaction.
Very Respectfully Yours,

St. lie was Cured of Consumption.
Philadelphia, May 23d, 1881.
DR. J. H. SOHENCE:
Dear Sir:—l was sick with a Complication ol
Liver Complaint and lung disease for over a year.
I took the prescriptions of several of the moat
prominent physicians of this city. I also went to
the University Hospital, but I received only tem
porary relief from anything they gave me. At last
I was told by my friend Mr. David Lacey. of 1480
Spring Garden St., that he had been very low with
a similar affection, and that you had cured him.
So I concluded to give your Medicines a trial. I
went to see you at your office, and after an exami
nation, you said that I could be cured. 1 at this
time had a constant tickling in my throat and a
dry hacking cough, night sweats, no appetite, with
a great ueal of pain in my breast and under the
shoulder blades. My breast was so sore that I was
obliged to lay down almost all the time.
1 used about four bottles of your Pulmonic Sy
rup, and as many boxes of your Mandrake Pills,
and two or three bottles of the Seaweed Tonic, and
lam now in better health than ever in my life. I
was told by my physician, before taking your
Medicines, that my lungs were so badly affected
that I could not get welL
My appetite now is excellent; everything that I
eat digests welt and my cough is gone.
Any one who wishes can call on me at my **•-
dence, as I thoroughly believe in your Medicines
and WISH others to be benefited by them.
Yours Truly,
P. FLAHERTY,

Dm. J. H. SCHXNOE A SON, Philadelphia:
Gentlemen—Having been asked by many per
sons in regard to your medicines, I have decided
to send you this statement of my case:
In 1864 I commenced bleeding at the lungs. I
was then going down the river on the boat, and
was sent back home on auother boat aa the captain
was at mid I would bleed to death lie fore we
reached our destination. I contmed bleeding *ff
and on until the boring of lß6l.during which time 1
tried everything that 1 heard off, as well aa con
sulting several physicians.
In the Fall of lfcwi I ca'led on Dr. Schenok, who
had un office in Pittsburg at that time, lie told
me that he thought Ira medicines would reach my
case, and advised me to try them. I purchased
thret* bottles of the Syrup and a box of the Pills.
I returned home and commenced by taking the
Hyrup and Pills as directed, and oonllnued their
use thereafter I had slit/hi hemorrhages until
the 7th of the following April, since which time I
have had no return of the same. I had a great
deal of pain In my back and cheat and a continual
cough, and on man v occasions I tnougbt that I
would cough and bleed to death.
I have great faith in yonr medlclnea and have
reeoinineruled them to a great many persona with
excellent results.
Yours Very Truly,
W, J. PAttR.

OONBU MFTIOJS7
CAN BE
CURED.
MR. JAMES KINBLER, of Conshohocken, Pa.
says:
When I first went to see Dr. Schenck, I had
been pronounced an incurable Consumptive by
several of tne best physicians of Phtladelpnis, who
had attended and prescribed for me In the hospital
where I was tor over a year. While there I took
over one hundred bottles of Cod Liver Oil, but
grew worse all the while. Just before leaving I
was u>ld by the doctors that there was no use of
my taking anything, and aa the medicine they
gave ine not even rel eved my sufferings, I con
cluded that they were right. I was so weak at
this time that I could not walk without help. I
left the hospital and went to my home where I
tried many remedies fur several months without
any beneficial effect.
At last l was adv sed by a friend to go and see
Dr. Sebenek. After making an examination of
my lungs he prescribed hia Mandrake Pills, Sea
weed lonic and Pulmonic Syrup, and I began tak
ing them. 1 was so weak and low that I had to
take them for some time before they helped me
any but after a while I saw some slight improve
ment in my symptoms.
For over a year I had been coughing up large
quantities of matter from my lungs, and this be
came less in quantity. The swelling in my feet
and legs became leas, my appetite gradually Im
proved, and I began to feel a little stronger; this
encouraged me to keep on until I was finally
cured. I took Dr. Schenck's medicines for several
months. In addition to the symptoms I have men
tioned, I bad severe night sweats, great loss of
flesh, a constant cough with severe pain In my
breast, sides and back.
I a Ivise those who are afflicted with Throat or
Lung D.aeaae to go affli see Dr. Scbenck. He
cured ipe when other physicians tailed to give me
any relief.

CONSUMPTION
CAN BE CURED.
From C. W. EMERSON, ESQ., of Natie*, MSM.
DR. J. n. SCHKNCK A SON, Sixth and Arch Street*,
Philadelphia, Pa.:
Gentlemen—l send yon herewith an account of
my case, and I have been careful to oonflne my
self strictly to plain facta:
I was taken sick in the latter part of June, 1871;
the doctor said it was Congestion of the Lungs, and
three days after I had what he called Congestion
of the Liver. Among other medicines, I took six
blue pills, and after ten weeks was Just able to go
around the house. I had a had cough and raised
as much as a pint of clear matter in a dav. I then
went to the State of Maine (my native place.)
About this time the matter I raised was streaked
wit h blood,and when I coughed It seemed as though
a thousand needles were sticking between my
shoulders and through my left bieest. 1 consulted
a lung doctor at Bangor; he examined me care
fully ; he shook his head and said there was no
use in taking anything but stimulants. Finally I
came home, and having heard of two cares by
yoar medicines, concluded to give them a triaL
At this time 1 often coughed up clear blood, and
was so weak I had to rest when half-way up the
stairs, and weighed only one Hundred and twenty
four pounds. My feet and ankles were so swollen
that it was very difficult for me to walk. I had a
steady diarrhoea which nothing would check, and
night sweats every night.
I bought one dozen of your medicines, and two
boxes of your Mandrake PUls, and commenced
taking them. Some of my friends said it was
throwing money away, and advised me to go to
the Massachusetts General Hospital: but I was de
termined to give them a fair triaL I coold not see
any improvement until 1 had taken several bottles:
then however. I began to feel a little stronger. I
took the medicine regularly, a bottle each of Pul
monic Syrup and Seaweed Tunic in four or five
days, and alter taking a dozen bottles or more,
they could see that 1w as better. I coughed less,
my night sweats were less violent, began to re
gain my appetite and flesh, and in a short time
was quite my old self, and weighed one hundred
and eighty-seven pounds; have continued gaining
strength ever since, and am as well as ever. T
have not iost a meal for eight months, can hold
my breath a half minute, and run a mile with ease;
my lungs are apparently as sound as can be. lam
sattsfled 1 had Consumption.
I want to Impress on all who are afflicted that
there is no use in taking your medicines without
persevering. I have since recommended It to two
others, both of whom it has cured ; and I am firm
In the belief that Consumption can be cured by
the faithful use of your medicines, and 1 kaow
they saved my life.
Yours Truly,
