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.

A YERS CATHARTIC PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
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

NEW AND GOOD BOOKS.
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 three new snbscribers and $8 00 in advance,
two Nos. of Scott and one No. ot Dickens.
For four new subscribers and SS.OO in advance,
one copy of "One Hundred Selections," bound
in elotb, or four Nos. Dickons
For five new subscribers and SIO.OO in advance,
five Nos. Dicken's works, or one copy of Ten
nyson's or Burn's poems, worth $1.25.
For six new subscribers and $12.00 in advance,
one copy of Diamond Dickens, Longfellow or
Whitticr, worth $1.50.
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.
The übore premiums are offered for new ad.
vance paying subscribers. Dicken's works arc
made the standard for premiums, but we will sub
stitute any book on the shelves of the Inquirer
Hook Stotc of the corresponding price whenever
desired. Parties unable to raise clubs large
enough to entitle them to a copy of the bible or
dictionary will bo allowed the premium for the
number they do raise, and can have either of the
above books by paying the difference.

For a few months past we have advertised
the above Watches at extremely low prices,
and the result has been most satisfactory.
Our plan has been to sell the genuine WAL
-1 HAM W ATCH, in Solid Gold or Silver Ca
ses only, 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.
'I hese 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 DOC 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 limiting Watches, *lB OO

\V e often receive orders direct from our

should send first for our descriptive price
list, which explains all the different kinds,
tells the weight and quality of the eases, 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.
Ecery Watch is warranted by special cer
iijicale 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 it af
terwards it does not prove satisfactory, it can
be exchanged or the money will be cheerfully
refunded.

The superior merit# of the "8-inger" Machines

Y Ell' S HAIR HGOR
FOR TUB
RENOVATION OF THE HAIR.
THE GREAT DESIDERATUM of the AGE'
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the Hair. 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.
