TREATMENT OF THE COW. —There are
conflicting opinions among good dairymen
in regard to the treatment of cows after
calving-some preferring a low or moderate
diet, at most nothing more than good hay,
with free access to the usual watering place
and an avoidance of all warm drinks. The
arguments in favor of this course for the
first few days after parturition are, that is
better calculated to allay fever ami scouer
brings the cow round to a healthy condi
tion, On the other hand, it is urged that
the animal during labor becomes more cr
less exhausted, and that if the weather is
cold, the taking of considerable quancities
of cold water to slake thirst, has a tendeucy
to chill the animal and impede circulation,
and hence, a gruel made of bran or oaten
meal, and tepid water can be given soon
after calving with the best results. The
latter course has been our practice, and
uniformly with success. After a lapse of
several hours the cow is allowed to drink
as usual. It is perhaps unnecessary to say
that stock at this season of the year should
be entrusted to careful hands—they de
mand almost constant oversight and atten
tion. They should not be hurried in r
out of the stables, or allowed to flgbt or
worry each other at the water trough or in
the yard. Accidents, of course, will occur,
under the most careful treatment, but by
the adoption of a uniform system of kind
ness to all neat stock, with a reasonable
share of attention, there need be little, if
any "bad luck h to be anticipated. Oue
thing we regard as imperatively demanded
for success in the management of stock.
Never allow a cow to be kicked or in any
way abuted by hired help. Whatever good
qualities a man may have, better part with
him at once if found disobeying orders in
this respect. State the case plainly at the
time of hiring, and make ss a condition the
forfeiture of a part or the whole of the
man's wages who is found guilty of kick
ing or beAting cows. The practice has be
come common and should be broken up.
The animal losses from this source are im
mense. if every dairyman would make
it a rule that his milch cow must, be treat
ed kindly, and that no expense can be
taken for blows and kicks, snd that no
person would be employed who maltreats
stock, the wbcle country would be greatly
benefitted We have kuown ot valuable
animals being lost by a kick, and oihere
renc'tred valueless for the season by an ap
parently slight thump with a milking stool
from bad-tempered persons. Laborers of
this kind are dangerous, and tne sooner
one is rid of them the better. Much cau
be effected in this matter by good example
for if the owner so far forgets himself as to
abuse stock he cannot expect the men in
his employ to do otherwise. The
start should be made witn sound, healthy
and vigorous stock, and from such, reason
able results may be anticipated.
A TABLE just con.pleted by the Indiana
bureau ot statistics, with a view to ascer
taining the benefits derived from tiled rait
ing, shows that land which yielded an av
erage of 9 J bushels of wheat per acre for
five yrars before drainage, yielded 19
bushels for five years after being drained.
With corn the increase was from 31 to 74
bnshels per acre. During the same peri
od the number of cases of malarial sick
ness diminished from 1,840 cases to 490
cases after drainage.
SEEDS found with coins of the Emperor
Hadrian in an ancient barrow in Eugland,
and a heliotrope from a Roman tomb 1,600
years old and more, vegetated and grew
vigorously. The same was the case with
wheat, rose, and clover seeds found with
an Egyptian mummy, and, Indian corn
Irom a Peruvian mummy, 1,200 yeais
old. There would seem to be no known
limit to the duration of the principle of
life in vegetable seeds.
I? HEELERS have noticed that a remarka
ble deveelopment of the tendency to lay on
fat is usuahy accompanied by a delicacy
of constitution, a diminished secretion ol
milk and a loss of febundity. Very fat
animals are not likely to be good breeders;
in fact, the excessive production ot fat is
incompatible with a high development of
the reproductive powers.
IN arranging perches tor fowls allow six
inches for each bird. The perch should
not be placed high when there is no space
for the birds to fly down with a gradual
6woop, as is natural to them when roosting
in open places. Three teet from the ground
in confined places is high enough, and it
should be far enough from the back wall
to keep the tail plumage clear.
THE Rural New Yorker says. "There
is quite as much necessity for barn-clean
ing on the farm as for house-cleaning, and
if farmers were as punctilious about the
renovation and purification about the out
building as farmennes are about dwellings
there would speedily be an impiovement
in the appearance of things; and of con
veniences too."
THE beet sugar interest does not flourish
in this country and there seems to be very
little prospect that it ever will. Most, if
not all, the old establ shmenta have failed,
closed up or devoted their buildings to
other purposes and we hear of no new
ones gomg into operation. According to
the report of our Consul at Cologne, how
ever, the business is prospering on the
continent of Europe.
IN Flanders it Is customary to churn the
milk in Summer after twenty-four hours,
but in Winter three days are allowed to
expire, when the milk is poured into the
tub that stands in tne cellar. If it then
does not become sour, the dairymen place
a can with warm water in the tub to ac
oelerate it.
To get rid of the Buffalo or carpet motb,
wet a folded sheet or other cloth, lay it
over the place near the edge of the carpet,
and use several hot irons, movine them
about from time to time, so as to send the
steam down through the caipet and into
all the cracks on the floor, and it will kill
the moths. Where properly trud it has
been effectual
PROBABLY the very best WAY to protect
wheat in the bins from the weevil is to
thoroughly fumigate the bins with burning
sulphur. This should be done before the
grain is put into the bins, and repeated in
the course of a month or so after the grain
is stored. Some persons use lime and
but there is nothing betier than sulphur.
IF a breeder keeps several varieties some
of one variety will be bred as close as pos
sible to another, which he may have. But
few breeders possess an eye sufficiently
critical to breed several varieties and keep
them in peifection of form, color and
points, as one breed must lollow another
to some extent.
THE principal food of the farm laborers
of Orkney Islands is oatmeal, potatoes, fish
and milk. Bread of fine wheat flour does
not give strength to work, and English
tourists express surprise at the apparent
vigor and youthlulness of the Orkney oc
togenarian*.
CANE syrups show a greater tendency
than beet syrups to become acid and pass
into tbe inert form of sugar in the process
of boiling down. The loss of crystallized
sugar from this cane is very large.
DOMESTIC.
QUICK PUFF PUDDING. —Stir ono pint
of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der and a little salt into milk until verv
soft; plao© in a steamer some well
greased cups; put in each a spoonful of
batter, then one of berries, steamed ap
ples or any sauoe convenient; cover with
Another spoonful of batter anil steam
twenty minutes. This pudding Is delic
ious made with fresh raspberries, and
eaten with sauoe made of two eggs,
half a cup of butter and oue cup of su
gar, beaten thoroughly with a cup of
boiling milk and oue cup of berries.
SPICED MOUNTAIN CAKE. —To the yolks
of five eggs, well beaten, add one cup of
sugar, one-half cup of butter, aue-lialf
cup of sweet milk, oue teaspoonful of
grouud cinnamon, one grated nutmeg,
the whites of two eggs well beaten, one
and a half cups of flour, having in it one
measure of baking powder; bake in jelly
cake pans; when cold spread each layer
with an icing made of the whites of
three eggs beaten stiff, and one and a
half oups of powdered sugar.
PRESERVING MEAT.—A new method of
preserving meat is to oause the heart of
the animal to pump boracic acid iuto
the tissues. For example, a sheep is
■tunned by a blow, and blood being
withdrawn from the left jugular vein, a
strong solution of boracic acid, kept at
blood lie it is injected. The heart < f
the still living animal quickly pumps
the antiseptio fluid iuto all parts of the
body, and the sheep is then killed in the
usual way. The cost is slight, aud the
moat thus treated will keep several
weeks in the heat of summer.
RAISIN CAKE. —One cup white sugar,
four tablespoonfuls molted butter, stirred
together, eight tablespoonfuls sweet
milk, one cup flour, oue teaspoonful
baking powder; flavor with lemon; stir
in last the beaten whites of four eggs;
bake in layers: for Ailing, add a little
water to one cup of white sugar; put it
ou the stove to boil; chop ene cup of
raisius and beat the white of one egg;
take the sugar off and stir the egg and
raisins in.
ROAST SWEETBREADS make a delicate
dish for breakfast. Dip the slices iu bea
ten egg and broad crumbs till they are
entirely covered, then put a lump of
butter in a saucepan or a small pan used
for baking. When it is melted lay the
slices in, put a little lump of butter ou
each 6lioe, cover with a plate, or, better
still, with a tin cover made expressly to
fit over the baking-pan. Let them bake
for from half to three-quarters of an
hour. Serve on toast.
CREAM-COLORED SPANISH LACE can be
cleaned anil made to look like new by
rubbing jt in dry flour: rub as if you
were washing in water. Thou take it
out doors and shake all the flour out; if
not perfectly clean, repeat the rubbing
iu a little m >re clean flour. The flour
must lie very thoroughly shaken from
the lace, or else the result will I>9 far
from satisfactory. White knitted hoods
can be cleaned in this way: babies' socks
also if only slightly soiled.
CREAMED POTATOES. —Take some new
potatoes cold boiled, and cut them in
very thin slioes. This is important. Put
in a saucepan with a little butter and
cream, enough to moisten well; salt to
taste. Stir lightly and constantly until
they are very hot Put in a covered
dish, and sprinkle a little black pepper
on the top. Serve immediately. They
should not stand on the tire a moment
after they are done. This is a delicious
dish.
ONE OF THE READIEST and simplest
tests for ascertaining if water is free
from organic pollution is to cork np a
small bottle nearly full of it, into which
a piece of lump sugar has been put If,
by thus excluding the air and letting it
stand in the light for two or three days,
there is not a milky cloud seeu but the
water remains clear, it may be consid
ered free from the phosphates with which
sewage water is impregnated.
HOMINY CROQUETTES. —Mix a table
spoonful of melted butter with a pint of
fine, cold, boiled hominy. Add a tea
spoonful each of salt and sugar and two
beaten eggs. Beat until smooth; then
make into small cakes or balls, fiour
each one well, and fry in butter or drip
ping, or both. They will lie nicer if
dipped in beaten egg, rolled in fine
cracker ciumbs, and fried like dough
nuts. Drain and serve hot.
A YOUNG FOWL may be known before
plucking by the largeness of the feet
and leg-joints; after plucking, a thiu
neck and violet thighs may be taken as
invariable signs of age and toughness,
especially in turkeys aud fowls. The
age of ducks and geese is tested by their
beaks, the lower part of which breaks
away quite easily when they are youDg.
To MAKE STEAK TENDER. —Put three
tablespoonfuls of salad oil and one table
sioontul of vinegar, well mixed together,
on a large flat dish, aud on this lay the
steak. Salt must now be put OJ the
steak before it is cooked. The steak
must lie on the tender-making mixture
for at least half an hour to a side; the
toughest steak will succumb to this and
be perfectly tender when cooked.
USE OF STALE BREAD.—A good way
to use slices of stale bread is to dip
them in well beaten eggs, then after fry
ing ham, fry the bread in the ham gravy,
adding a lump of butter if necessary;
fry the bread until it is a light brown,
and send to the table; but it is good also
if fried in the fat cut from slices of steak
or roast.
To MASH TURNIPS.— After having
been boiliug very tender, and the water
pressed thoroughly from them, put them
into a saucepan and stir them constantly
lor some minutes over a gentle lire; add
a little cream, salt, fresh butter aud
pepper; coutiuue to simmer and to stir
them for five minutes longer and then
serve them.
THE TASTE OF GINGER COOKIES can be
improved by half a cup of cold coffee
instead of water. There is almost always
at least so much left after breakfast; or,
if not, put a little water in the pot and
let it boil for a minute or two, and
strength enough will be given to flavor
the cookies.
TOMATO BROTH, —Stew tomatoes in a
quart of white stock; strain it to get rid
of the seeds, return it to the fire and add
a cupful of rice. Let it boil until the
rice is fully swelled, then dish and serve
with more cut up chicken in the tureen.
PRECIOUS STONES.— The ruby, sap
phire, are simply modifications "of one
substance, alumina, which, as clay,
forms a great part of the earth's surface.
THE HAIR. —To prevent the hair from
falling out, the common application in
Oriental countries is the biuised bulbs
of the Asphodelus bulbosus, garlic or
onions, mixed with gunpowder.
HUMOROUS.
"You ain't feeling very well, are you,
my son, since you sat out under the
back stoop all alone with the stolen pie?"
The father spoke calmly, and his tone
was so gentle that the apprehensive cul
prit ceased trembling and plucked up
courage enough to obserye: "Yes, father,
dear, I'm pretty sick." "It's too bad,"
he responded, sympathetically uncoiling
a trunk-strap; and then ensued a sceue
of wild commotion, during which the
sick boy bounded altout the room like
an antelope that had never kuown a day's
illness. Kneeling by his bedside that
night he prayed long and fervently
longer and more fervently than usual.
He prayed that God would make him u
pirate.

my nights were Reasons of agony. After a troubled
sleep in the early hours, I would walce anywhere
between one and three A. M. with the most excru

walk my study floor the rest of the night. During
the da. T also I was often attack ad with dizziness,
both upon the street and at home, so that it seemed
for a minute or so that consciousness was about
to leave me. This state of affairs continued until
my nerves were Badly unstrung, and I began to
fear organic disease of the brain. By advice of
Rev. Geo. W. Mansfield, who bad been much bene
fitted by your medicine, I wrote to you and shortly
afterward commenced using it. I took several

" 1 hare had Aathma for 22 yean, u (ferine a
thousand dead is; have Been so that 1 could
not go out for four months at a time, hut tat
In a chair night and day. I have tried every
remedy I ever heard of, and spent thousands
of dollars in search of a cure; but ail in
vain until 1 found Knigkfs Asthma Cure.
That was in Frbruary last. My Asthma
had been unusually bail all winter. Six bot
tles of this medicine have made me feel like
a new man. I call myself well. 1 have not
been oppressed for breath all through this
trying spring, and can not express in words
what this wonderful rcuicdy has douc for
me."
A. 8. Bradford, Arlington, Mass.
" I feel like thanking Mr. Knight for his ex
cellent Asthma Cure. It ha* done very
much to relieve me of a case of Asthma;
and, from my present improvement, I ex
pect lo be under still greater obligations."
Pres't R. Heber Holbrook, of the National
Noiuial University, Lebanon, O.
" I was severely afflicted with Asthma from
1855tol8K'J; tried many remedies (so called*,
and spent much money (n vain, seeking relief.
In February, IKK2, I received the first bottle
of Knight's Asthma Cure. I commenced to
improve at once, have had very few Asthma
symptoms since, and am now as free from
it as a person who never had it. 1 can say
with certainty that Knight's Asthma Cure
is the lest yet discovered."
E. C. Weaver, Lawyer, 9"JQ F St., Wash
ington, L). C.
" I have traveled north, east, and west, and
spent four years south in order to relieve
rnyse'f of this terrible disease. Asthma; and,
until I received Knight's Asthma Cure,
found no permanent relief. After taking this
medicine but a fortnight 1 obtained the
greatest relief, and can say I am now cured
entirely, and that my cure is considered al
most a miracle by my fr.cnds. You can re
fer to me at all times."
Prof. 0. W. H.iwxhurst, 12 Willow St.,
Fatcrson, N.J.
-'My wife has found Knighfs Asthma Cure
a perfect success where all others have
preved a failure. Having been a great suf
ferer from Asthma, and having taken so
much medicine for the disease without ob
taining any permanent benefit, she hesitated
to try any more. But she was induced to
try a bottle of Knight's Cure, and from the
day she commenced taking it regularly she
has not had a single attack. This medicine
is a great blessing to suffering Asthmatics."
D. G. Drake, Supt. Schools, Mt. Washing
ton, O.
" I am over (10 vears old, and have had th
Asthma over a5 years. Have tried many
remedies, but obtained only temporary relief.
Knight's Asthma Cure has helped me more
than all others put together Since I com
menced taking it, I rest well at night, and
the neighbors all say 1 look better than for
many years."
