J arm, jgardctt&gjPttittfcflML said that cattle can be raised best on sand stone, and fattened best on lime stone land. THE only animal (if it is an animal) which will eat the Colorado potato-bug and not get sick, is the striped snake. IN hot weather milk is worth more fed to calves, which are to be cows and oxen, than made into butter. A SINGLE pair of caterpillars, if let alone, will strip the leaves from a young orchard in a few weeks. They need as much watching as politicians. Now that the wheat crop in Australia has failed, they propose growing hops to use up what little barley they may raise. Ax acre of fresh water is more profitable for fish growing than ten acres of good soil for grain growing. WESTERN wool growers get five cents a pound for their wool more than Eastern growers, because they make so many com plaints. Ax ax costing $2 with which a laborer may cut 60 cords of wood a month, is a cheaper tool than an ax costing but sl, with which he can cut only 40 cords. A cow bought for $lO, whose milk but pays her keeping, affords less profit than one at S3O that gives double the amount of milk afforded by the former. IT costs no more to raise one hundred bushels of Baldwins than one hundred bushels of cider apples, or ten barrels of Vergalien'- or Harrietts than the same quan tity of choke pears. A '-'CHEAP plow at $5, costing in one season $3 in repair and three more in lost time to teams, men and by retarding crops is a dearer plow than one at $lO requiring no repairs. A TEN acre field costing SSO per acre, and ditched, manured and improved SSO more, so as to give double crops, is much more valuable at)d profitable than twenty acres improved, costing double the money. A barrel or cask of now sweet cider, buried so a3 to be well covered with fresh earth, wili turn a sharp, clear, delicious vinegar in three or four weeks, and better than it is possible to make by any other process. THE DAIRY. The variations in the yield of milch cows • arc caused more by the variations in the nu frltivc element of their food than by a change of the form in which it is given. "A cow, kept through the winter on mere straw," says a practical writer on this subject, "will cease to give milk; and, whfen fed in spring on green forage, will give a fair quantity of milk. But she owes ibe cessation and restoration of the secretion to respectively the diminution and the increase of her nourishment, and not at all to the change of form, or of outward substance, in which the nourishment is ad ministered. Let cows receive through winter nearly as large a proportion of nutritive mat ter as is contained in the clover, lucerne, and fresh grasses, which they eat in summer, and, no matter in what precise substance or mix ture that matter may be contained, they will yield a winter's product of milk quite as rich in casein and butyraeeous ingredients as the summer's produce, and far more ample in quantity than almost any dairyman with old fashioned notions would imagine to be possi ble." We keep to much stock for the quantity of good and nutritious food which we have for it; and the consequence is, cows are, in nine cases out of ten, poorly wintered, and come out in the spring weakened, if not, indeed, positively diseased, and a long time is re quired to bring thou into a condition to yield a generous quantity of milk. It is a hard struggle for a cow reduced in tlesh and in blood to fill up the wasted system with the food which otherwise would have gone to the secretion of milk; but, if Bhe is well fed, well housed, well littered, and well supplied with pure, fresh water, and with roots or other moist food, and properly trea ted to the luxury of a frequent carding, and constant kindness, she comes out ready to commence the manufacture of milk, under favorable circumstances.— Milch Cows and Dairy Farming. PEAR CULTURE. 0 Mr. Thomas Meeban, in his address on the disease of the pear, at the Pomological Con gress in St. Louis, concluded as follows. Of course he alludes to standard pears, and in this our own experience confirms the opinion expressed. "No one can have any doubts as to the freedom from debilitation of trees grown for years in gras3 over those grown in con tinually stirred soii, who examine old or chards under both conditions. Old pears in my grounds, eight and nine feet in circum ference, always bear if they have any flowers at all, always have healthy toliage, always set most in their blossoms and drop oniy those which get punctured by insects, enougb, however, being always left to produce plen tifully; while anywhere in soils with regular stirred surfaces, you find innumerable flowers with few fruit, and of those which do set innume-aile are found afterwards covering the x which fallen off from no cause but t ability in the awakened vital principl laiutain them. "Leaf ohgbt and innumerable diseases fol low excessively weakened vitality, and I am well assured that though fire blight, cracking, and all the other diseases I have referred to are the means of destruction to many thou sands of bushels of pears annually—debility destroys its ten thousands." HOW A FARMER MAY LOSE MONEY. By not taking a good home paper. Keeping no account of home operations. Paying no attention to the maxim, "A stitch in time saves nine," in regard to the sowing of grain and planting of seed at the proper season. Leaving reapers, plows, cultivators, etc., uncovered from the rain and heat of the sun. More money is lost in this way than most people are willing to believe. Permitting broken implements to be scat tered over the farm until they are irreparable. By repairing broken implements at the prop er time many dollars may be saved, a proof of the assertion that "time is money." Attending the auction sales and purchasing *ll kinds of trumpery, because, in the words of the vender, the articles awe "very cheap," Allowing fences to remain unrepaired until ctrauge eatu e are found grazing in the mead ow, grain fields, or bruising the fruit trees. lievingtfie principle of a rotation c. ops before making a single experiment. i-riting fruit trees with the expectation of ring ruit, without giving the trees half the attention required to make them profitable. raclicmg economy by depriving stock of | ! oper shelter during winter and giving them unsound food, such as half rotten and monldy hV and fodder. KeepiDg an innumerable tribe of rots on the premises, and two or three lazy dogs that eat up more in a month than they are worth in a whole lifetime. And lastly, he loses by not reading the ad vertisements of those who patronize the prin ter, they being invariably the most enterpris ing and liberal houses to deal with, when he goes to town. ALL KINDS OF miscellaneous BOOKS furnished at the Inquirer Book Ptone, tf I plurooyw. IT is s good ihiog to be above board, but generally a bad thing to be overboard. IT is a miserable thing to live in suspense; it is the life of a spider. THE politican who knew no North, no South, no East, no West was found to be as deficient in other matters as in geography. MEN are like bugles; the more brass they contain the more noise' they make, and the farther you can hear them. Ir you wish to fatten a thin baby, throw it out of the window and it will come down plump. '•I have the best wife in the world," said a long suffering husband; "she always strikes me with the soft end of the broom." SOME one says the best way for a man to train up a child in the way it should go, is to travel that way occasionally himself. LOVE, the toothache, a cough and tight boots are things which cannot be long kept secret Lime DAISY'S mother was trying to explain to her the meaning of a smile. "Oh, yes, I know, said the child, "it is the whisper of a laugh." "HEAT expands—cold contracts," answer ed a school boy to a question of his peda gogue, and when asked to give an example, he said, "In summer the days are long, in winter the days are short." PLANCHETTE isn't always reliable. A gen tleman who was informed by the seller that Planchette would answer anything, bought one the other day to answer the door bell, and found it wouldn't work. A YOUXG lady being engaged to be married, and getting sick of the bargain, applied to a friend to help her untie the knot before it was too late. "Oh certainly," he replied: "It's very easy to untie it now, while it's a beau." "JOHN," said a stingy old hunk to his hired man, as he was'taking dinner, "do you know how many pancakes you have eaten?" "No." "You've eaten fourteen." "Well," said John, "you count and I'll eat." 1 "DENNIS, my boy," said a schoolmaster to his Hibernian pupil, "I fear I shall make nothing of you, you've no application." "An', sure enough, sir." said the quick witted "there's no occasion for it. Don't I see every day in the newspapers that 'No Irish need ap ply?'" |t WILLIAM thee, knows I never call anybody names; but, William, if the Mayor of the city were to come to me, and say, "Joshua, I want thee to find me the biggest liar in all Philadelphia," I would come to thee and put my hand on thy shoulder, and say to thee, "William; the Mayor wants to see you." WE understand that in New Zealand, when a marriage ceremony takes place, it is a very old custom to knock the heads of the bride and bridegroom together, previons to their nnion. In Christian lands it isn't so; The bridegroom and the bride To loggerheads but seldom go Until the knot is tied. I SAY, Mr. Pilot, ain't you going to start soon?" said a nervous traveler on a steamboat lying to daring a fog. "As soon as the fog clears up," replied the captain. "Well, it's starlight now, overhead," said the man. "Oh yes; but we are not going that way." "MA, will you holler if I bite you —say?" ''My child, that would be very painful to me, and I might scream." "Well, then, what's the reason Sary didn't scream when that singin' school master bit her right in the mouth, and bit her hard to , cause she put her arms around his neck a 1 tried to choke him. Why didn't she holler— say?" "I WONDER what has become of the snuf fers?" said Mrs. Johnson. "I have been looking for them all the evening, and can't find them high nor low." Nobody could give information, lifter a while the hired man getting sleepy, commencd pulling off his boots preparatory to going to bed. "All day," said he, "I diaks I got some grabble stone in mine poot. I guess I gits him out now." He turned up his boots and out came the snuffers. A gent in passing a farm, saw a boy at work in a corn field, and being of an inquir ing tarn of mind, he thus addressed the youth: "Whose farm is this?" "Dad's." "Does your father raise any stock." "Yes, lota." "What kind?" continued the stranger. "Cornstalks mostly," was the reply, and the stranger went on his way musing. A LADY brought a child to a physician to consult about its precious state of health, j Among other things, she inquired if he did not think the springs would be useful. "Certainly, madam," replied the doctor, as he eyed the child, and then took a pinch of snuff. "I have not the least hesitation in recommending the springs, and the sooner you apply the remedy the better." "You really think it would be good for the dear little thing, don't you?" "Upon my word, it's the best remedy I know." "What springs do you recommend?" "Any will do, madam, where you can get plenty of soap and water!" EVERYDAY PHILOSOPHY. —Never insure your life for the benefit of your wife for a greater sum than ten thousand dollars. A widow with more money than that is a dangerous legacy to leave posterity. The "game of life" is very like a game of cards. Time deals, death cuts, and everybody is waiting for the last tramp. I think men drink in crowds because they are afraid to drink by themselves. It requires a good deal of courage to stand up alone and pour a glass of whiskey down yonr throat. There are some inconsistencies in this world that I don't exactly understand. Everybody is anxious to go to Heaven, but nobody is in a hurry about it. If a man is without enemies I wouldn't give ten cents for all his friends. The man who can please everybody hasn't got sense enough to displease anybody. When an acquaintance says, "How arc you ?" and rushes by you without waiting for a reply, I wouldn't, if I was in yonr place, follow him more than a mile to tell him I was welL A convenient way of testing the affections of your intended is to marry another woman. It she don't love you you'll find it out immediately. Do unto other men as they would like to do unto yon, and you won't have enough money in two weeks to get a shirt washed. THERE is & story told of an Irishman who, having newly arrived in an Eastern State, was asked, during an election, on which side he would rote. "Ye have a Govern ment here, I suppose ?" questioned Pat. "To be sure we have," was the ready re spouse. "Well, then, said the Celt, with a malicious wink, "just you put me down as voting against that, anyhow. * €*rtumu. "QOSTAR'S" PREPARATIONS. EVERYBODY — TRIES THEM. EVERYBODY — USES THEM.

The trunk and fan sides being cloJLt u> confine the straw and chaff, remedies fit i r cullies in cleaning grain against .td r It bags the grain by reasonable management „/ ficiently clean for market, and it, capacity undir ordinary eirjumstances, is from tweVto forts bushels per hour, using eight horses and the s£e number of hands: but to force th. work und * favorab . circumstance, it will thresh from f,rt y to fifty bushels per hour, and with mote ,"s agreeableness to hands than any other machine now in common use. 108 The No. 2 is particularly adapted to tbe farmer 1 , use; in intending to apply to any common or railway power: weighs 1,30(1 pounds: h„ a" iron threshers frame, and cylinder, 12i inches diameter and 28 inches long: delivers the e| e * n grym in bags, or if desired, in a half bushel" I, delivers the straw fifteen feet from th. feed* or if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff to*ih er; will thresh and clean, in good gra"reld v £ market, from 100 to 175 bushels 300 to 500 bushels of oats per day, using four or six horses, and the same number of hand- but to force the work, under mort favorable eireum atanoes, good grain, Ac., will thresh and clean considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean all kinds of grain generally threshed with the common machine, and requires no more horse power, but iu many cases does not run so hard. It will apply very well to a two-horse rail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to thrash grain, with more satisfaction than anv other separator now in use, and whv is it ? Be cause this separator has a self regulating Blast which prevents grain from blowing into the ch.ff and also has a self regulating feeder o feeo tne cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean er which prevents it from choaking. Dhy doe-- this machine run so Sight, and give so little trou ble? Because there is less friction in the .loor. nab, and the rakes and fan are geared so that you have no trouble with Belts breaking and slipping causing dust to fali into the wheat. Why does it clean against the wind? Because the blast has direct action on the grain and the cleaner j. so well arranged that the wind has no rharu-c to drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built permanently on two wheels and the front car riage separate, ready lo attach when necessary? Because it is more convenient in the bare withoct the front carriage. You can turn tbe machine or run it from place to place more easily. Why hi lt not got Elevators like some other machine-? Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter nately into the cleaner which must eventually pi into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all knew, that filth should be kept soparate for feed. Ac., we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings from under our hand fan into the hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why is this separa tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Side? are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust trom coming out and scattering over the door, causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt and sore eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get more work with these separators than they do with others ? Because this separator has all there advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable and a paying one for all fanners and Thrashermen that have grain to thrash, whilst in most cases farmers must suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, thi is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and most agreeable to work about and the only -epa*- ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market under all circumstances. Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbug, and judging from the high re-.- - ru men dation of farmers that are using them, we must come to the conclusion that it is the very Machine that farmers want and will have as soon as they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, for which we hope they will give us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon sible if it does not perform as represented in this Circular. Shop prictt of Machine* range from $215, to $540. jS®-\Ve warrant the machines to be as above represented; also against any reasonable defects of material workmanship. Ac. DANIEL GEISER, Proprietor.
