WEEDS lit OAKDESS,
Jfothing redtreew the current expenses of
a family outlay more than a well
managed kitchen-garden; hut the geneial
complaint with many is the labor of keeping
it dean— the constant fight with weeds.
Some are of opinion that a garden of a quar
ter of an 2sre in extent will grow more
weeds than ten acres of farm land, and there
is good ground fop tho LolioP according to
the way some are managed. A few weeds,
allowed to ripen their seeds, will produce an
abundant crap next year ; and thus, year af
ter year, the earth becomes filled with them
tiß the soil of a garden consists of thre main
ingredients—namely, a soil naturally; a large
amount of manure, artificially ; and an im
mense supply of foul weeds, spontaneously.
The question naturally' arises, is it not
practicable to clear out entirely, and totally
the last of tie three ? Are weeds a necesa-
ty ? If a garden contains a hundred thou
sand of tlwm, and ninety-nine thousand are j
killed by,the hoe, why not the remaining
thousand' ? If nine hundred and ninety of
this tbfusand, why npt the remaining ten?
The of a garden may be completely pn
rifiedof weeds and their seeds, greatly re
ducing the labor of keeping it in order, and
largely contributing to a fine growth of the
crops. It is much easier to keep , a garden
perfectly clean than to he "*Mf
stant warfare with the weeds. Ihe labor is
far less. The reason that it is not done is
the want of care and attention. Nearly all
are satisfied if a garden is nearly clean. This
is the origin of all the trouble —namely,
leaving a few weeds to seed the whole ground.
The remedy is, begin now, eradicate every
thing that may have shown its head, and
so continue the examination every week.
One morning every week should be set apart
for this special purpose. Unless something
of this kind is adopted, the thing will cer
tainly be neglected. And after they are out
continue the process to keep them out. It
is easier to spend half an hour in a morning
v once a week in this way, and have good crops
than to spend three days in each week fight
ing the intruders, and, as a
getting bad crops.— Scottish Farmer.
ABOUT TAB I Ml—A FRKQUETT MIS.
TAME.
Sovoro.l ycre n| a party of travolcro ill
the Rocky Mountains, foot-sore, weary, and
hungry, came upon a wild grape vine, load,
ed with clusters. They stopped and feasted,
and all declared the grapes to be the best
they had ever tasted. Late in the fall, on
their return eastward, they brought home
several packages of cuttings for the propoga
tion of this new and superior grape. But
when it came into bearing, all were disap
pointed; the fruit was tough, lacking in
flavor, and every way inferior to the ordi
, nary grapes of Eastern gardens. Whence
came their disappointment? Simply from
the fact that they ate the Western grapes
when they were tired and hungry, and had
not seen any fruit for many days, and had
nothing better at hand as a standard of com
parison;
Not long since, wc heard of a Fifth Aven
uo merchant, who, after spending his boy
hood and youth in New England, came to
New York and acquired great wealth. But
before the prime of life, bis appetite and
health began to fail, and he thought his
food would taste better and that he should
regain his health, if only his food could be
cooked as it was in the old country farm
house. So possessed with this idea was he,
that he threw out of his kitchen his patent
coal-cooking stoves and improved ranges,
and tore down one or two partitions in order
to build in his mansion an old-fashioned
brick oven, to be heated with fine maple
wood., This was done as commanded, bat
alas! did not bring back his youthful relish.
Late hours, irregularity in meals, close con
finement and a burden of care, had begotten
dyspepsia, and "things didn't taste now as
they used to, when he was a boy!"
Probably if he spent his whole life on the
farm, this youthful relish would have been
is die open air, and regular hours for eat
ing and sleeping, will do much towards pre
serving'it.—Am. Agriculturist.
WASH FOR APPLE AND OTHER FRUIT
TREES.
One of the best methods for preserving
the health and promoting the vigor and
fruitfulness of fruit trees, is to wash them
frequently with some liquid capable of de
stroying the parisitical plants and insects
which adhere to the surface of the bark, and
sap the vital energies by a constant drain of
the circulating current. A liquor formed of
one pound of whale oil soap to a bucket of
water, is now generally used for this purposfe.
A ley of wood ashes, rather dilute, is also
excellent. The liquid should be applied
with a coarse rag, which will remove the
moss, and dislodge the insects which may
have obtained a lodgement on the bark. By
giving the trees in your orchards and gar
dens, two or three good washings during the
season, care being had to wet every part of
the surface of the trunks, the insects as well
as the mosses will be effectually removed,
and the bark left in a beautiful and healthy
condition. April, June and August are the
months in which washing may be practised
with the best results, though where one can
afford time, a good thorough scrubbing ev
ery month during the growing season, would
be still better. If the trees are old, and
thickly incrusted with mossjß should be
scraped off carefully before applying the
wash. A coarse piece of coffee or cotton bag
may be used for scrubbing, and the coarser
• it is the better. Brush brooms, partially
worn, may answer well, where the surface is
rough and very mossy; but on young trees,
the bagging is preferable, and used with
much greater efficiency and ease.— Ger. Tel.
CRACKEH CBm.rjs.—There are very
few housewives who are advised that the
<mmon waWr-craeker, properly prepared,
will produce one of the most palatable, deli
cious dishes for either breakfast or tea, that
can be placed on the table. My method of
preparation is as follows:—Soak the crackers
twenty minutes, in clear, cold water, when
they will be increased to twice their original
size, and as Puffy ss a sponge. Place them
carefully, to avoid breaking, in a pan or skil
let, having in it, jiut so much hot batter, fa£,
or dean "drippings," as you would use for
flying fish—fry ope side to a rich brown,
and then turn carefully, and when done,
serve hot If it be desired fco transform a
capital dish into a first class delicacy, split
the cooked crackers, and either sift over the
inner side, powdered sugar, or spread them
with any kind of fruit jelly.

pOUTZ'S CELEBRATED
Ilorxe and Cattle Powders.
These Powders have proved, alter a trial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fiom the fact that they arecoinpoa
ed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties from the stomach and intestines, the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous [and
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the borsca
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders are to bloat the animal, go as to give him the
appearance of being fat when not really so—but
to remove the disease and promote bis general
health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, eloanse them from offensive matter, an '
bring them to a healthy state. They are a sure pro
volition of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy
all diseases incident to the Horse, as Glanders,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss o! Appetite and Vital
Energy, JU-.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Coric
or Bcttg. A few doses of these powders will re
inovc the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of horses to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties thia powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and value which should place it in the
hands r,f every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes them thrive mneh faster,
HOOS.
In all diseases of swine, as coaghs, ulcers in the
lungs and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper
to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swill, the
above diseases can be cured or entirely prevented.
By using these powders the hog cholera can be
prevented.

There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa

Ia presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it cannot be exeeilei by
that of any other company yet organized. The
two leases on Cherry Rn r themselves forth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.

successful. ,Tho great "Reed" well, flowing 376
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 400,
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
