MAKE A SCRAP BOOK. Every intelligent, progressive farmer takes a paper. This is a fixed fact. It is to be hoped, too, thai he has half a dozen journals, of one sort or another, coming every month. But, however that may be, when he reads them over he often says: "Now I wish I could remember that item, and put it in prac tice next season. I believe I will cut it out and save it somewhere." He does cut it out and puts it in his vest pocket, or between the leaves of a book, or in some out of the way place, where there is little cbattee of liisever seeing it again. Now, when he cut it out, he took a step in the right direction. Why did he not go on a iiule further, and paste it in a scrap book ? Theu it would have been permanently saved, and very convenient for reference. Preserv ing papers in tiles would save ali the articles, but few would ever take the trouble to look all through them for some point they wished to read over again. It would seem too much like looking for the proverbial "needle in the haymow." The scrap book gives you the very cream of all your papers. There are usually only u few articles in each one which seem to have been written expressly for you, and you do not care to save those belonging to everybody else. You do not care to read the columns on bee-keeping, wheu you never owned a bee in your life: hut probably your neighbor takes more interest in that than any other depart ment. It is the beauty of e' ery good paper that : .t has something in it fcfr every one. The house-mother can never buy as good a receipt book as sfce can make by carefully saving the useful receipts and suggestions she meets in ber weekly paper. The book should have a simple classification ; the receipt - for cooking should be placed by themselves, those for general housework may be placed in another part of the book—the same for di rections on gardening, care of children, etc. Such a book is a greater means of econo mixing in the course of a year. Just the right thing in the right plpce often saves dol lars of money, and dollars' worth of time und trouble. Just such hints and directions we meet with trom week to week in every good paper, and it is the carrying of them into practice that makes the difference between the thrifty, successful farmer and its opposite. Of course if they are forgotten they cannot he put in practice. The mind, unless it- has been severely disciplined, is apt to hold knowledge as much as a seive does water. It needs manv helps to make the memory use ful. The very act of cutting out the slip and pasting it in is a great help towards recalling it, and if the details are forgotten, there is the article itself—you can turn to it reauily. Thus you can be benefitted by the experience of hundreds of people you have never seen, but who have kindly noted down their own success or failure in the various departments in which you are not interested. SOAP SI'DS. A cistern or tank, of the capacity t.l from two to four hogsheads, should be constructed in the vicinity of every farm house, and a sys tein of conductors so arranged a- to lead the suds and slops into it us they arc made. This liquid matter is a power! i fertilizer, containing the food of plants in a slate of so lution, and consequently in a condition to be readily taken up and absorbed by vegetables as soon as applied. Irrigating with soap suds, after the liquid has become stale, is a powerful means of pro moting vegetable growth, especially in dry weather. Some have considered the value of such to be equal to that of the same weight of manure : this, however, is probable an ex aggerated estimate; yet we want no addition rl corroboration to satisfy us of its intrinsic worth as a vegetable stimulant. Great care should be observe d that the de caying matter and suds do not taint the air about the dwelling, as in the process of fer mentation and decomposition, sulphuretted hydrogen gas is thrown o(T. This is an active poison. When inhaled i' .irts directly • n the blood, thickening it and turning it black. A single galon of it, mixed with I,'JQO feet of air, will render it poisonous to bird--, and one gallon in 100 will kill a dog. Many of onr good people are not sufficiently curefu. about allowing such "sinks of iniquity ..> exist near their dwellings.—A*. E. Fan.r r. SURFACE MANCF The best English far nters concede that, in very ft v cases, manure acts better for being plowed in. In cases of long, that is, straw manure, it must be cov ered, that it may decay: and when yard manure has not been composed, n> it should be, the ammonia will escape unless i' is cov ered with earth. The reason why top-dress ing is best can easily be understood. No manure can act on the roots of growing crops till it is dissolved. \t fieu dissolved, the wa ter holding plant food in solution should be brought in contact with the greatest number of roots. W hen the water thus cbaiged pass es by gravity through a foot of soil, flora the surface downward, it visits a greater number of roots than when it passes down fro.n a depth of four or five inches below the surface. Millions of acres of grass land have been broken up simply for the sake of enriching the field with manures. All this is rni.ap plied toil. Meadows can be brought up by top-dressing just a-- and at mm h less cost. ORCHARD TREATMENT.— -Mr. J. A. Carpen ter sends the following to the Prairie Earn mer. '•My orchard has been in sod for eleven years. Ihe grasses are blue, red top and wbitc clover. 1 pasture with hor-es, cows, hogs, and sheep, and have apples every year, and standard pears after the trees are ten years old. I would give cherry trees the same care. Ihe peach and ali the small lruits require coustant cultivation. The sooner men who grow fruit for a liv ing learu that the profit on the investment will only compare favorably with other farm crops, the better. A larrn or trade is needed with the orchard, as well as constant indus try arid frugality, to keep the debts paid up.' hacrr IKES..- MOST SUITABLE FOR PLANTING. —Concerning the proper ages of fruit trees in planting, an experienced horticulturist says that peaches should always be transplanted at one year from the bud; plums, cherries or dwarf pears at two years from the bud or graft; for standard apples or pears, good, thrifty plants, five or six feet high ar.d not ever two or three years of age. The best season for transplanting are from the first of Ottober antil December, and from the first of March until May. Older trees, especially if they are taken up carefully and planted in well prepared soil, may do very well, but on the wbole, the ages above mentioned are the best suited for planting. TaiiiniNc LAMFS. —A correspondent of the ■ National Agriculturist writes as follows to that periodical: Some always use a pair of shears to trim their lamp wicks. I never do. A better way, and one which I invariably practice, is to pinch or wipe off the crust with a piece of paper ; you may keep a piece of cloth for the purpose if you desire. You will find that the fismc will be perfect in shape, and exactly in the center of the chimney, and that the wick will last longer.

Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever any before so universaliv adopted into use, in every country and among all classes, as this mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more effectual remedy than any other. Those whohave used it, know that it cured ihcm: those who have not. know that it cures their neighbors and friends, and all know that what it does once it does al ways--that it never fails through any fault or neglect of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neighborhood, and we need not publish theui Adapted to ail ages and con ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves tbcm ever fresh and makes tbern pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the ~, nurtfv thft blood and it into healthy action —remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health, arid by correcting, wherever they exist, uch dcran gements as are the first Origin of dis ease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box, for the following complaints, which these Pills rapidly cure: For Dynpejinia or Jndiyeetion, Lietleeencee, La a yuor and Lore of Appetite, they should betaken moderately to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liter Complaint and its various symptoms, Bil'.oue Headache, Sick Headache, Jaundice or Green Sickneee, liitioue Colic and Itiliou* Fever*. they should be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc tions which cause it For Dyentery or Diarrhee, but one mild dose is generally required. Fur Hkenniatieju, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of the Heart, Pain in the Side, Pack aud Loin*, they should be continuously takcu, us required, to change the diseased action of the system. With such change these complaints disappear. F'or Dropey and Dropnical Swelling* they should be taken in largo and frequent doses to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Supprc**ion* a large dose should be taken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro mote digestion and relieve the stomach. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad vantageous where no serious derangement exists. One who feels toierably well, often finds that a dose of these pills makes him feel ducidedly bet ter, from their cleansiug and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. Dn. J. C. AYER a CO..

Having for four years past labored to improve and enlarge the Inquirer and to so fill it with the latest news that our people would have little or no need of any other paper, we have found that one of the chief difficulties in our way has been that of getting a sufficient number of subscribers to pay the expenses necessarily incurred in mak ing a county paper w hat it ought to be. Though tho Inqvirkr has a larger number of subscribers than any other paper in the county, it still has hut little more than half what it ought to have to justify us in the outlay necessary to keep it ui> to the standard at which wc have steadily aimed. The Inquirer will continue to be the exponent and advocate of a thorough-going Republicanism, and of retrenchment, economy and reform iu the administration of the affairs of county, state and nation. It will aiso, as u.-ual, contain a larger amount of late news and carefully selected gener al reading matter than any other paper in this Congressional District. An important political campaign is just about to begin, involving the election of a Governor, Supreme Judge, State Senator, Member of the Legislature, and a full county ticket. The State and District tickets are of the highest importance as there will be a new apportionment made at the next Session of the Legislature. With such an important campaign before us, it is highly desira ble to put the Inqcihkr in the hands of every Republican in the county. We therefore call up on our friends to help us put it at onee into the hands of as many of our people as possible. a further inducement to exertion we have conclu ded to offer the following desirable PREMIUMS: For out now subscriber and $2.00 in advance, we will give one number of Scott's novels. 20 cent edition. For two new subscribers and $4.0(1 in advance, we will give one number of Scott's novels, 20 cent cd., and one number of Dicken's, 25 cent ed.

For twenty new subscribers and $40.00 in advance, a complete edition of Dicken's works (25 vols, bound in paper.) Fortwenty-five new subscribers and $50.00 in ad vance, one large family bible, bound in best morocco, full gilt. m For thirty new subscribers andsßo.oo in advance one copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, illustrated edition with 3000 engravings, and wnrth $12.00.

Ended or gray hair it toon rettored to itt original color and the yloit and frethnttt of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of ten, though not always, cured Dy its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the fallicies arc 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. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted nto for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, givin it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by. DR. J. C. AVER
