LIVE STOCK.
No mail can Iw a real bona tide farmer
without live stock, and farmers may be
classed in some measure according to the
quality of their animals. Away from cities
and populous places it Is impossible to keep
up the fertility ol the land to make it pay un
less the produce is chiefly consumed by the
live stock and converted into meat, milk,
wool, or animals for use by other people, as
payment to the farmer for his time and cap
ital, and transmuted into manure as a reward
to the land, without which return no farm can
be kept in condition good enough to pay fur
cultivation. This is the first secret of success
full farming away from places where it an
swers to send to market bay, straw, garden
stuff, Ac., but there are others which unfold
themselves in the course of raising and feed
ing. The next in importance is to manage
so that no time may be lost in the growth of
the young, and to house and feed in such a
manner as to carry on the improvement
wrought in summer through the Autumn,
Winter and Spring: after which the grand
secret is to breed and raise such animals only
as command the highest market price, which
is as easily done as to continue breeding an
unthrifty and unprofitable race.
If a fanner has a useful common grade
stock, healthy and good breeders, milkers,
Ac., but the progeny never selling for more
than barely sufficient to enable him to pay
his way, just reckon the difference it would
make to him if he went to a good breeder,
say of Short-Horn for instance, and bought a
bull, minding when purchasing to sou tho
dam of the animal he selects, for if he wants
milk as well** meat, he must sea that she
gives some; then when his bull's stock comes
into the herd, taking the place of the old
ones, he will reap an advantage every w:ty.
It will be the same with sheep: the laying out
of something extra for a ram or rams from a
first-rate flock, will add to his wool and mut
ton, as also cause his future young ones to
come to maturity earlier, and. waat will be of
great consequence to the farmers of this coun
try for years to come, these better bred ani
mals can be brought out fat at that season of
the year when all common stock is low in
flesh, and all varieties of meat sell for 20 or
30 per cent, more than at other times. Live
stock and plenty of it. is the great preven
tive to a farm running out. and to the owner
becoming poor; it will brighten the faculties
of a bad farmer, and draw out the latent pow
ers of mind which have been rusting fcryears,
for with a heavy stock of all rinds of cattle
and sheep, he has to forecast for each day,
week, month and year: aye, and for more
than a year.— Country Gentleman.
THE FARM
Farming is a profession, not to say a
science. If any one doubts this statement let
him leave bis city home—for no one bred in
the country will doubt it—and undertake to
cultivate even a garden of half an acre for the
summer. He will then find that knowledge
U as essential to the right use of the spade as
of the pen, and there is as great a difference
between the scientific fanning of Flanders,
where literally not a weed is to be seen, and
that of many of our farmers, the wealth of
whose soil is ahont equally divided between
fruits and weeds, as between the trade of a
modern commercial city and the barter of a
back-woods settlement. It is true that agri
cultnre has been iast to receive the impetus
of modern science. It is true that many eg
ricnlturists are content to go on in the ways
of their fathers, because experiments are
costly. But it is also true that they are una
ble to compete with thoee who umleretwrul
the use of new instruments, methods, and fer
tilizers. Agricu'tare is also becoming in this
country a popular recreation. Many a get:
tleman is content to spend on his country
seat money which he makes in the connting
room. The practical farmer is thus able to
get the benefit of experiments without paying
for them. This change in agriculture, which
has converted it fiom drudgery to an art. ha?
created a demand f>r ac-responding litera
ture. "Fifty years ago a stable agricultural
periodical did not exist on the American
Continent." Now every considerable dis
trict bas one. while almost every weekly pa
per, secular or religious, liasits agricultural
department: and it will nut be long before
something of a library will be a part of the
furniture of every well-ordered turru. — Har

THE CULTURE OF FLOWERS.
It has been said that few things tends to
express the character and fortunes of indi
viduals more thau the appearance of the win
dow blinds, and the brightness and rlean!.-
ness of the windows of their dwellings.
Nothing can be more true; and we cannot
but feel, when tbis is admitted, that the same
line of reasoning will be allowed with regard
to flowers. If we pass by a house, even
though it be in a narrow, confined thorugh
fare, and sec upon its window sills bright
rows of pots filled with gay geraniums aud
bell-formed fuschias, we suppose that surely
in that house tbere must live some one whose
mind is not wholly choked up aud deadened
with the dust of the city—one to whom the
liuks are not yet entirely severed, which bind
the heart to the loveliness of nature, and who
still appreciates with a tender care the sweet
est and most beautiful of hSr creation. Or,
perhaps, our thoughts taking a sudden turn,
mey imagine that some lone hearted creature,
who may have been lettered to his chamber
tor months or years by lingering maladies,
flies trom his own racking pains and thoughts,
and seeks among those very flowers which
seem so gay and indicative of youth and bap
py hearts to us, solace and delight, which
simple things like these 'often render to the
wretched hearted and weary. Wherever
flowers are seen carefully tended, we may be
sure there will be found people of a refined
mind. No one who has not a gentle and a
tender heart can truly love flowers j and any
one who really does so. worships, it may be
unconsciously, the Eternal One who formed
them.
SHEEP SKIN MATS.—The following is for
two skins, and if the directions are faithfully
followed wiil make something nice :
Make strong soap-suds, using hot water,
and let it stand till cold; then wash the skins
in it, carefully squeezing the dirt from among
the wool: then wash tbeni in cold water till
the soap is oat. Next dissolve baif a pound
each of salt and alum in a little hot water,
and put into a tub of cold water sufficient to
cover the skins, and let them soak twelve
hours, then hang over a pole to draiu. When
well J trained stretch carefully ou a hoard to
dry. S.retch several times while drying.
Before they get entirely dry sprinkle on the
flesh side one ounce each of finely pulverized
alum and salt pet re, rubbing it in well; then
lay the flesh sides together and bang in the
shade for two or three , nrtli tJjem
over ttll perfectly dry.
Finish by scraping the flesh side with a
blunt knife, to remove any remaining scraps
Of flesh, and then rub the flesh side with
pumice or rotten stone aud the hands. Very
beautiful mittens can be made of lamb skins

CLOSE ROOMS.—People should not sleep
io close rooms at any season of" the year,
but more particularly at this set son. Those
who fear the night air should remember
that there is no air but night air at night,

other place. It is not improved by fbe im

never seen or traveled on a railroad. Want

distance from the city, she thought she would
try one of the pesky things. She went to
the ticket office, carrying her reticule on cne
arm and an old-fashioned rocking chair ou

out on the platform, put down her rockiDg
chair, sat down in it, took out her knitting'
and went to work dilligently. Steadily she
rocked ami worked, trains coming in or leav*

lady made no attempt to get on the cars, but
kept kuitting.

on. The last train was about starting, when

While adapted to milder forms of disease and to
young children, it is at the same timo the most
effectual remedy that can be given for incipient
consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lungs. As a provision, against sudden
attacks of Croup, ir should be kept on hand in ev
ery family, and indeed as all are sometimes sub.
ject to coids and coughs, all should be provided
with this antidote for them.
Although settled consumption is thought incur
able, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settiea, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health "by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery over
tho disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the
most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing
else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral
they subside and disappear.
Singers and public speakers find great protec
tion fiom it.
Asthma is always relieved and oflcn wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues knowt. that we need
not publish the eertificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
AYER S AGUE CURE.
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Period
ical or Bilious Fever, Ac., and indeed all
the affections which arise from mala
rious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does CURE, and doe,
not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinines
Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poison
ous substance whatever, it in nowise injures ay
patient. The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radieal cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme
dies had wholly failed.
I'nacclimated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from the torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable euros, where other medicines had failed

W ALTHAM WATCHES.
For a few months past we have advertised
the above Watches at extremely hue prices,
and the result has been most satisfactory.
Our plan has been to sell the genuine WAL
THAM WATCH, in Solid Gold or Silver Ca
ses or-iy, and at a very small profit; giving
the purchaser every opportunity of examina
tion and comparison, and with the under
standing that if the Watch does not prove
satisfactory, it can be exchanged or the mo
ney refunded.
These Watches are, without exception, the
most perfect specimens of fine mechanism
ever produced in any country. Each and ev
ery part is made by machinery of the most
delicate and elaborate construction.
Compared with foreign watches, they pos
sess many advantages, excelling not only in
principle and finish,, but still more in their
reliability as time-keepers. As an indica
tion of the prices we submit the following:
Silver Uunting Watches, *lB 00
Gold Hunting Watches, 18 karat,... 80 OO
(•old lllisting Watches, ladies' site, 70 OO
We often receive orders direct from onr
advertisement, but prefer that every one
should send first for our descriptive price
list, which explains all the different kinds,
tells the weight and quality of the cases, and
gives prices of each. This we will forward
to any one on application, and it will be found
very useful in making a selection.
Ectry Watch is warranted by special cer
tificate from the American Watch Co.
We send them by express to any address.
Allow the purchaser to open the package and
examine the Watch before paying, and if af
terwards it does not prove satisfactory, it can
be exchanged or the money will be cheerfully
refunded.

Address, iu full, HOWARD A CO.,

Our establishment is well known to the

From the New York Evangelist, May 28, 1868.
We had occasion some lime since to refer

lion of our readers to the card of Howard A
Co., by which it will be seen that persons
from a distance can order any grade of these
Watcbes by express, at greatly reduced prices.
From the N. Y. Independent, June 16, 186 S.
We invite special attention to the adver
tisement ot Messrs. Howard k Co., who offer
the celebrated Waliham Watches not only at
the lowest prices, but will send them to any

The superior merits of the "Sieger" Machine*
over oil others, for either femily use or manu

generally admitted, that an enumeration of their

It is quiet, light running, and capable of per.
forming a range and variety of work never be
fore attempted upon a single machine, -usir i?
either silk, twist, linen or eotten thread, and sen
ing with equal facility the very finest andcoar,,.,
. materials, and anything between the two extremes,
in the .most beautiful and substantial manner. Its
attachments for Hemming, Braiding, Cording,
Tucking, Quilting, Felling, Trimmiog, Binding!
1 etc, are novel and practical, and have been in.
vented and adjusted especially for this machine.
New designs of the unique, useful and popular
