Farmers Wives—Why Have They Poor
Health ?
It seems now to be generally con
ceded, that this class of our country
women, through some cause, have
come to a state of general poor health ;
and this sad state of affairs is mostly
attributed to over work. This, no
doubt, in some cases, has a share in
the evil ; but I am more inclined to
ascribe the general debility and much
sickness amongst us of the rural dis
tricts to cooking stoves in unventilated
kitchens, and close apartments. A lit
tle observation will show that this
poor health is by no means confin-
ed to the wives of farmers, but ex—
tends also to the families of a large
portion of our communities—all those
in fact who occupy houses built with
small, close chimney flues, instead of
the old fashioned open fire-place, and
who sleep in small apartments, with
close windows, and with no arrange—
ment, for the supply of fresh air
through the night hours—except the
occasional opening of a door.
The women of our times do not work
any harder than did their grandmoth
ers : but their toil was pursued near
the great open fire-place, where a con
stant change of air was going on ; and
consequently they never felt the ex—
haustion that our women suffer, shut
up with"a red het demon" of a stove,
which itself is consuming the vital air
at the rate of a hogshead every minute,
and for the supply of which provision
is seldom made—for where do you
find a house that has any sensible ar
ra,ngement by which fresh, pure air is
introduced continuously? Do people
know that air which has once passed
through the lungs, is not only inca
pable of supporting life, but is abso—
lutely poisonous ! Do they know that
air is more necessary to existence than
food ? Life can be sustained without
food for many days, but without air
not one minute. If any one questions
the absolute need of pure air to main
tain health, let him observe the con
dition of any person who lives in a
vitiated atmosphere. Look at the men
and boys in stores anti shops where
there is stove heat and no ventilation—
how sickly, pale and dyspeptic they
soon become. "Farmer's wives" are
not more miserable and weak.
Examine the majority of sleeping
rooms in any country village or neigh
borhood. Small, close " seven by
nine" closets—with generally but one
window, and that carefully closed to
exclude the dangerous night air, as if
there was any better air than that
provided by the Great Creator, for
our use during the night hours. If a
door is left open, it is probably into
the kitchen or sitting room where
stoves and lamps and human breaths
have combined to create a poisonous
condition of the atmosphere during
the day and evening.
Is it wonderful that, under such
circumstances, sleep is disturbed and
unreffeshing ? that children are rest
less and fretful ? and that daylight
finds the mother more tired and lan
guid than when she lay down to rest.
The men and boys of the family
suffer less because they are in pure
air all day, and the poison is thus
eliminated from their systems. Other
wise they too would sink under such
a course of "blood poisoning;" for it
is into the blood this atmospheric poi
son works, as it is again and again
passed through the lungs.
An eminent physician, in a work
entitled "How not to be Sick, "at
tributes the poor health and poor teeth
of Americans to "the excessive use of
fine flour, butter and sugar," leaving
out the strengthening phosphates and
and nitrates contained in the bran and
buttermilk, which are given to our
pigs. Combine with unwholesome,
heating food, the unwholesome air we
breathe, and what wonder that we
have become a race of pale dyspeptics,
with false teeth and contracted chests.
Unwholesome food and vitiated air
poison the springs of life at their very
source ; and unless a radical change is
made in our modes of building and
living, the prospect is a sad one for
our children.
THE ACTUAL VALUE OF COWS.-
Now, we can go into a dairying neigh
borhood, and point to farmers who are
losing from two to three thousand
dollars, by keeping cows yielding two
hundred pounds of butter per year,
instead of those that would yield
from five to six hundred pounds in
the same time. How many dairymen
can tell the relative value of each cow
in his herd by actual test? There is
a little instrument for this purpose
that don't cost much, but very few
dairymen know anything about it. It.
is called "Lactometer," constructed
by placing a number of glass tubes,
of equal length and diameter, in a
wooden frame. The milk frr‘m each
cow is placed in one of these glass
tubes; there they stand side by side,
and you can see the depth of cream
that rises in each tube, representing
a, certain cow, and estimation her val
ue thereby.--Stock Journal.
DRY H YEAST. — Tie:threo hand
fuls of hops up in a thin cloth, with
eight peeled medium sized potatoes,
in three quarts of water : pour off the
water, after sufficient boiling, and
scald three quarts of flour with it ;
mash the potatoes and stir these with
the scalding flour ;. let it cool and mix
with one teacupful of good yeast.
Let it stand till it is light, well fer
mented ; then mix sufficient corn meal
with it to thicken ; make into cake
and dry inthe shade.
How Shall we Keep our Fowls?
This is a question which concerns
thousands at this season. A supply
of fresh eggs is a great addition to our
kitchen economy, and a most agreea
ble one to our table. Fresh eggs for
breckfast all the year round is deci
dedly Utopian. In the first place, we
must provide light and air. Windows
are absolutely necessary on the south
side of the hennery, so that the win
ter's sun can be made available for
warmth. All the scraps and soap
grease of the kitchen can be returned
to us in the shape of fresh eggs, and
will greatly lessen the expense of feed
ing the hens. They must have animal
food. When the ground is open, and
worms abundant,they are as well sup
plied as though they dined on roast
beef and mutton ; but in winter it
must be given to them. All the bones
left from the table, the bits of fat,the
scrapings of the plates, etc., should be
treasured for their use. Keep an old
kettle on the back of the stove, turn
all slops into it, even coffee-grounds,
and when well-heated, feed it. At
noon-time, it can be given smoking
hot, and quite watery—the warm drink
helps to supply the carbon they need.
Where beef's liver can be cheaply ob
tained, it makes excellent food ; .chop
it fine, and they will eat it greedily.
Keep a box filled with gravel, ashes,
old plaster, slacked lime or oyster
shells—even hard-coal ashes will not
come amiss—for hens must have food
needful to form egg-shells, else they
will drop them shell-less.
For grain, we think a mixture is the
most profitable. Sweepings from the
grist mill do very well—oats,corn and
rye ground together coarsely, make
good food. Hens desire variety—will
not lay eggs on one kind of nutriment.
Where oil-cake and scrap-cakes can
be purchased, they are the most desi
rable food. Bone' roanure is excellent
to go with the scraps. To this diet
add coarse corn-hominy, and you will
never complain that hens are notworth
their feed.
Cleanliness is all-important—the hen
house should be whitewashed with hot
lime, spring and fall, and the poles on
which they roost should be covered
with kerosene-oil every month or two.
These percautious are needful to de
stroy the insects which will breed in
such places. Pure warm water in iron
basins, with a bit of brimstone in the
basin, should be given every morning,
but not allowed to freeze. If the chic
kens are sick, give them soap-pills
made of yellow bar soap ; this acts like
a cathartic. If chilled, give pepper
corns—two of them if the chickens aro
large—or hot milk and pepper can be
turned down the neck with a teaspoon.
A lien increases in the amount of
eggs she lays until four years old ;
then she is only fit for chicken-broth.
We would not enter into a discus—
sion uponthe merits of different breeds
nor would we pay twelve dollars a
pair for "novelties." The white Leg
horns are our favorites ; their eggs are
large,their chickens grow rapidly,and
their flesh is tender and of delicious
flavor.
The Brabma Pootras are good sized
fowls, and produce fine coffee-colored
eggs; but we confess to a greater de
light in the purely white eggs, and
think that what the chicken gains in
size, it loses in delicacy offlavor. They
have mixed with our Leghorns, and
formed a mongrel breed which seems
to promise well. We have forty five
chickens readyfor dripping-pan or pie,
which have sprung from the different
breeds, and are of good size. It is
more profitable to keep a dozen hens
than one pig—the outlay is much less,
the income much greater, and the
pleasure you take in the former is in
exhaustible. What pride we take in
sending a dozen fresh eggs to our kind
neighbors in the depth of winter !
What a relish they give to every meal I
Try it, friend, and see how cheaply
pleasure can be purchased.—Reartn
and Bone.
WHAT IS LOST BY KEEPING CORN.
A correspondent of the Davenport, 11l
Gazette, put two hundred measured
bushels of corn in a crib in November,
1868, which were recently marketed.
The corn was kept in a well-protected
crib, and was in excellent condition
when sold. It was found to have
shrunk forty-eight bushels, equal to
twenty-four per cent, discount from
the original amount. There was no
unusual exposure to rats, bad weather,
&c., the corn was first quality,
and he thinks the experiment was in
all respects a fair test of the profit
and loss of holding over.
SPICED NUTS.- One pint sugar
house molasses, half pound of butter,
quarter pound ginger, one ounce
coriander seed, a little powdered cin—
namon, a small portion of eloves and
allspice; knead up as much flow as
will make them tolerably stiff.
TAR is an excellent application for
hard, dry, and crocked hoofs. It sof
tens and penetrates the hoof,and gives
it a bright,clean appearance; it also
closes the cracks. Once used, the host
ler will never be without it. Apply
once or twice a week.
WHEN a ton of wheat is marketed
it leaves nothing behind but five dol
lars worth of straw. When a ton of
meat is sold,it has left behind it nine
tenths of the manural value of the
food consumed in making it.
Remember "figs don't grow on
thistles," with equal truth may be
said from good seed only can good
vegetables be obtained.
MEN often make unlucky invest—
ments, but hardly anything else is so
certain to pay in the long run as judi
cious Tree-Planting.

SEWING MACHINES
AMERICAN BUTTON-lIOLE
OVER-SEAMING AND SEWING M.))
CHINE COMBINED
MEDAL AWARDED AT THE PARIS EX-
In directing attention to the celebrated
COMBINATION BUTTON HOLE AND
SEWING MACHINE, we feel fully warran
ted in claiming for it unquestionable superi
ority over all others as a Family Machine.—
The Simplicity, Ease and Certainty with
which it operates, as well as the uniform ex
cellence of its work, certainly place it far in
advance of any other similar invention of th
age.
It is also the , :heapert,intrinsically, as well
as the best, since it is really two machines
combined in one, (by a simple aad beautiful
mechanical arrangement never before ae
compHshed by human ingenuity,) making
either the Lock Stitch or Button Hole Stitch,
as occasion may require. It is, at the same
time, simple in construction, commaratively
noiseless, easily understood, and, in a word,
it combines with those advantages v.-m.1118;re
ly its own the most desirable qualities of all
others, for it not only does every variety
of sewing in a SUPERIOR MANNER, but
in addition OVEESEAUS splendidly and
makes beautiful BUTTON nmd ErELETIIotEE
in all fabrics. This is far beyond the ca.
pacity of any other machine.
The SPLENDID 3IECHANTS3I of this Machine,
and the superior skill workmanship and ma
terials employed in its construction, are a
guarantee of accuracy, strength and dura
bility, and enable the company and its agents
to Warrant Every Machine they sell to give
entire satisfaction.

Among sewing mazhixes, mese made by
the Singer Manufacturing Company, rank
with the highest. Their manufacturing ma
chines, have long been known as the best
for manufacturing purposes. But within
the past few years, they have given special
attention to the production of a
lA:fIILF MACHINE,
destined to win much favor in the
lIOUSEHOLD
The machine which they now offer is quiet
light-running, simple, fast, noiseless. Its
accessories for
HEMMING, BRAIDING, BINDING,
QUILTING, TUCKING, CORDING,
FELLING, GATHERING,
are simple and easily understood. Ifs deli
cate though enduring and tireless muscles of
iron and steel, do all the work noiselessly,
better, and few will deny, "Faster than hand
can do it." They urge those wishing to pur
chase a machine, to examine all the other
manufactures before buying, as it will, for
link; overcome all the objections to the
other machines that can be brought against
it. Machines on hand for sale and exhibi
