Y/ I\\\~. KITCHEN GARDEN'. f \t i a matter of astonishtoent that so many farmers appear to be itidiflereut to the k itch en garden. There are many vegetables like celery, lettuce, asparagus, rhubarb and many others that migbt be named, that arc also lutely iud'spensable in their wason npon ev ery well supplied table. Tlicy are healthful, as well as palatable- and no farmer should deprive bis family of an abundant supply of ujcni. Ik-sides, the garden, if conveniently located, as it should be, near the house, need not occupy an unreasonable amount of time, but offers a place where many an odd hour may be filled up with pleasure as well as profit. There is no estimating the saving which might bo effected by greater attention to the garden. The fact is, the farmei is better situated to have upon his table every luxury in the way of vegetables and small fruits, since he can produce them himself, than any other class of people, but in point of tact bow few avail themselves of the advantages of this position. What is more healthful than rhubarb, or pie plant, in its season, and yet how few gar dens contain it! Who would deprive his fam ilyof celery, and yet how few gardens give it any place. LIVE CATTLE WEIGHED MY MEASURE The only instrument necessary is a measure with feet and inch marks upon it. The girth is the circumference of the animal just be hind the shoulder bludes. The length is the distance fronj the shoulder blade-. The su perficial feet are obtained bv multiplying the girth and length. The following tabie em tains the rule to ascertain the weight of ih animal: If less than one foot in gir-h. multiply su perficial feet by eight. If less than three and more than one. mul tiply superficial feet by eleven. If less than fire and more than three, mul tiply superficial feet by sixteen. If less than seven and more than five, mul tiplv superficial feet by twenty five. If less than nine and more than seven, mul tiply superficial feet by thirty-three. If less than eleven and more than nine, multiply superficial feet by forty-two. Example: Suppose a pig to measure in girth two feet, and length one foot niue inch es. There would then be three and a half feet, which multiplied by eleven, gives thirty eight and a half pounds as the weight of the animal when dressed. In this way the weight of the four quarters can be substantially as certained during life.— Southern CvUieutor. IS WHITE CLOVER PASTURE GoOD FOR SIIEKP? Having kept sheep for six years, principal ly upou white clover, 1 can recommend it as being durable ami a (lording about one third more food than other grasses, and it will stand closer feeding, and sheep will do well on it. 1 have about ten acres tbal have been seeded eighteen or twenty years. It was sown with prairie grass, which is long since extinct, and the clorer still flourishes, the ground has never been broken, and it ha> often been remarked that my pasture will sustain more stock than any pasture of its size in the neighborhood. It also makes good hay for sheep. I mix white clover seed and sow for meadow: it sods over better and yields all of one-third more per acre, and makes much better hay for sheep. 1 winter ed sixty-five sheep on hay thus mixed with out feeding arty grain, and lost none after winter set in, and none are poor and weak. My lambs have need of but little care, their dams all being in good oonditiou. The above sheep kept better than flocks in the vicinity that have had bay and grain without clover. —Wisconsin Farmer. Fowi.s is OwiIAUDS. —The public has yet to learn the full advantage of keeping poultry. Few seem to appreciate what they do among trees in an orchard. J.ut any one try them in an orchard of a quarter of an acre, where they may be kept by a nickel fence four or five feet high; put in. say 12a fowls, and ob serve the result. He w ill avoid the annoy ance in the garden, of which so many com plain, while they will work among the trees, doing just what is needed, and destroying everything that c . injure the fmit trees, in the shape of bugs, worms, or other insects, and lay n large number of eggs whica are a cash article, to fay nothing of the chickens, which pay well for raising at the present time. I have tried it, and know it to he so. J have about one hundred fowls, which have worked admirably among my trees, keeping the ground in good condition, keeping off the insects, and promoting the growth of the or * hard. lam satisfied that we have yet to learn the fall benefits which may be derived from the proper management ot fowls, and it is quite possible that the method I have sug gested may offer the best way of getting our orchards into bearing condition. — Ex. FISH AS FOOD. —The New York Tribune says: "The value of fish, and in particular the hard and sweet varieties of flesh, such as in trout and shad, is of great importance, fur it furnishes in the phosphorus the elements of brain-food, and becomes an abso lute necessity in the advanced intellectual development of our people. The truth is,and it is only lately appreciated, that social and intellectual progress arc based upon varied and abundant supplies of food: aud it may be stated as a law. that there ucver will he any high civilization where the diet of a people is limited to a few kinds of staple food, no mat ler how favorable these may be for establish ing what :s called a condition free from dis eases. From this it is evident that the rice diet of the people of eastern Asia, and the limited elements contained in the acrid food ol the people of the tropics, will not permit any of these nations to rise above the bar "baric.'" Go TO HARMING. A good living is what comparatively few men succeed in making in village or city life, and yet nothing is more easy of accomplishment on the farm. Be sides there is a pleasure in cultivating and embellishing the earth, improving and in creasing its products, thus adding to the ag gregate of human happiness. Why, then, should young men hesitate to be farmers ? It is both profitable and honorable. It is the nearest approximation to independence that man, as s member of society can make. A gentleman farmei—and all farmers are, or should be, gentleman—belongs to an order of nobihty that is not indebted to place-hold ers for its installation, and may, if he choos es, be ranked among the greatest benefactors o! .he human race. Let all idle young men go to work on farms and qnit seeking third or fourth rate clerkships. In short, go to farm ing and quit begging. 1 <1 > twrr a room, seta pitcher of water in the apartment and in a few hours it will bare absorbed all the respired gases in the room, the air of wh;ch will become purer, but the water utterly filthy. The colder the water is the greater the capacity to contain these gases. At ordinary temperature a pail of water will absorb a pint of carbonic acid gas and several pints of ammonia. The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing the water to the temper ature of ice. Hence, water kept in a room awhile is always unfit for use.

A MISERABLE old farmer, who had lost one of his best hands in the midst of hay making, remarked to the sexton, as he was filling up the grave, "It's 8 sad thing to lose a good .mower in a time like this; hut after all, poor Tom was a great eater!"

Noth ing can restore the hair where the fallieies am destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off', and consequently prevent baldness.
