Feeding a Variety of Fodder.
Most farmers need line upon line, pre
cept upon precept, in regard to-the care
required fur their domestic animals during
the foddering season. Many persist in ad
hering to the old practice of feeding only
one kind of fodder for a given period, and
then changing to another for a few weeks
No practice can be attended with more un
satisfactory results than this. Sheep, for
example, are frequently confined to straw
and a little grain daily. Then for a few
weeks, hay is substitucd and the grain
omitted. Sheep are exceedingly fond of a
variety of feed. Therefore a far better
practice would be to feed a small quantity
of hay every day, and not quite as much
grain, letting the stock have free access to
good straw, day and night.
All kinds of domestic animals will
thrive far more satisfactorily when a variety
of food is provided than when only one
kind is dealt out without change. Even hor
ses become excessively tired of cut feed at
every meal; they need a change. Therefore,
it will always be better to change the feed
so as to afford the animal any advantage
that may rise from feeding a variety of hay,
straw, cornstock, grain, meal, or roots.
Another consideration of no little import
ance is the quanity of cut feed which a
animal requires. There is such a thing,
for examble, as compelling a horse to eat
much more straw than he really needs,
when at hard work. A team requires
grain or meal. Straw will not furnish
much nourishment. It is better to give an
horse not more than a peck of cut straw
with the meal, than to mingle the same
quantity of meal with half a bushel of straw.
Too much bulk is quite a objectionable
as too little. This fact will hold good in
feeding any kind of stock. Feeding too
much straw with a little meal, is like com
pelling a person to eat a quart of diluted
soup, when, if the nourishment were con
tained in a pint dish, it would be much
more palatable.—N. I . Observer.
Large Farms.
One of the rocks on which many fail, is
to have too much land. It is much safer
to be crowded for room—to have no room
to plant anything, as is often remarked—
than to be spread out to the extent we
commonly see. This is true of rented land ;
but more pirticularly so of ground which
we buy. It is a very common thing for one
who has a thousend dollars to buy land
worth two, mortgaging half, and leaving
littlo spare cash to work on. The land is
but half cultivated, and the resulting crops
but one-half what they ought to be, while
the labor is double what half the ground
would have called for. Here there is a four
fold waste; and instead of paying but six or
seven per cent. for money, it brings up the
actual cost to near twenty, under which
one soon fails.
For our part, we are in favor of young
men starting in life with but little cash
capital, buying a farm with sonic mortgage
on it, providing he has a determination to
pay that mortgage off as soon as he can
turn round. Thousands of men now own
property who never would have done so
but for the necssity of thus exerting them
selves. Their earnings would have went
some how away. It is hard to resist family
importunities when everything is dear; but
when there is something which must be
met, the disposition to save receives strong
support from the glaring fact.—Weekly
Press.
To Clean a Rusty Plow,
Take a quart of water and pour slowly
into it a half a pint of sulphuric acid.
(The mixture will become quite warm
from chemical action, and this is the reason
why the acid should be poured slowly into
the watekrather than the water into the
acid.) Wrsh the mould-board (or any other
iron that is rusty) with this weak acid, and
let it remain on the iron until it evaporates.
Then wash it again. The object is to give
time for the acid to dissolve the rest. Then
wash with water and you will see where
the worst rusty spots are. Apply some
more acid and rub these spots with a brick
The acid and the scouring will remove all
the rest and rub it dry. Brush it over
with petroleum or other oil, and let it be
until spring. When you go to plowing
take a bottle of acid-water to the field and
apply it every bout to any spot of rust that
may remain. The acid and the scouring
of the earth will soon make it perfectly
bright smooth. If all iron work hs wash
ed over with petroleum as soon as we put
our tools, implements and machines aside
for the winter, it will keep them from
rusting, and save a grate deal of trouble and
annoyance, to say nothing of depreciation
and loss.—American Agriculturist.
Farming from the Cities,
It is often asserted that no one can farm
successfully without considerable practical
knowledge, and that it is not well to en
courage people who have been brought up
in cities to locate upon the land with any
hope of making money thereby. There is
no one values practical experience more
than we do, and we are ready to admit that
many have left tolerably comfortable homes
in towns to starve rot country places. But
it is by no means always so. We know of
many instances where men utterly ignorant
of soil culture have gone to farming, gar
dening, or fruit growing, and have made
themselves rich thereby. We know one,
especially, who was a journeyman tailor,
and who settled in Illinois, with no knowl
edge of the business, but a natural love for
it. He is at this time the most successful
cultivator in that part of the country, and
one whom the whole region looks up to for
his general intelligence. He has told the
writer that his success was all owing to
reading agricultural jonrnals, and then ex
perimenting cautiously, until by practice
he thoroughly understood the idea.
We do not recommend citizens to go to
the country. Only let them not forget that
reading is not experience. With a little
thought and judgment they will succeed
well, and hundreds live to bless the day
they settled on the land n — Weekly Press.

Home Weddings.
What scene on earth is fairer than a
wedding in the house ? There are no
weddings like home weddings. The church
is well enough for those who cannot do
better. But to. a child no cathedral can
be like that chief and foremost church of
the heart, the father's house ! This is the
church within the church. There, where
the daughter was reared, and taught in all
womanly grace, and equipped with house
wifely habits, ought she to be married.—
Around her are all the tender associations
of childhood, of lave, and happiness. Her
new life should date from the nest in which
her old Eli) was bred. When, as in Europe,
marriage is regarded as a sacrament, and as
requiring, at least in a moral point of view,
the special grace of which the priest is
held to be the divine depository, to make
it sacred and safe, we can understand why
the young applicants for domestic life-hap
piness should repair to the church. And
when, for centuries, generation after gen
eration have been married in the village
church, we can understand how a thousand
associations would surround that charmed
spot, and make it sacred to love as it is to
devotion.
But in America there are no such rea
sons for resorting to the church. And if
there is an act in one's whole life that be
longs to home, it is marriage. If one has
no home, there is good reason why, next to
that, she should repair to a" church. But
we never could understand the feeling that
leads a child, tendeely reared in an ample
mansion, surrounded by endeared objects,
to leave the roof under which life has been
spent, and repair for the marriage service
to that most unhomelike place, a church.
It is true that, to a devout Mature, the as
sociations connected with a church are
many and precious. But they are not do
mestic. They are solemn, away from com
mon life, almost the antithesis of that social
and summary atmosphere in which two
hearts ripen into marriage.
Without uncharitableness, it may be
feared that too many persons have regard
to the show, the brilliant impression made
upon the admiring public. If so, the most
sacred act of life is bribed by vanity, to
serve in its mongrel service. But these
censures are not to apply to the houseless
creatures that in marriage seek a home;
nor to those of big hearts and small houses,
who have troops of friends without room
to receive them ; nor, in short, to any
whose hearts do not bound at the name of
home, as the dearst and most sacred place
on earth. Happy are they who are mar
ried under the roof where they were born,
and who, when in their own house, can
see the smoke from their father's house,
the home of childhood, the paradise mem
cry !
The Doctor,
He. should be a man of the strictest
honor and integrity, fur to him are .confided
the secrets of ilunilies, the honor of wives
and daughters—social trusts that are com
mitted to no other. Every medical man
should feel the responsibility of these trusts,
or he is unworthy of being a physican. The
physician who practices his profession
merely as a trade, i;.r the amount of money
that can be made by it is unworthy of hi s
calling. The higher and nobler motive of
doing good to others, of relieving human
suffering, of prolonging human life, is the
only incentive—that ever has or ever will
make the great physician. In proportion
to the weight of his responsibility shall be
the honor and the integrity of his character.
How easy it is for the physician to control
the destiny of his patients. On him they
trust, and confide in his knowledge and
truth. pe decides for them questions of
life and death. Happiness or unhappiness
it is in his power to give, and why? The
greater his knowledge, the greater his
power. He has knowledge of how to do
good, and consequently the power to do !
evil, and therefore the necessity of his being
governed by the strictest honor andintegri
ty in order to use that knowledge rightly.
Dust Under the Microscope.
Among specimens of dust from various
localities which we have recently examined
under the microscope, one was procured at
the Springfield Armory. With a Tolles 14
inch objective, the impalpable dust :wear
ed to be composed mostly of fragments of
iron and steel, but under the power of a
1-5, the dust was seen to be made up of
particles of emery, as well as various kinds of
metals. This came from the polishing
wheels used in the works. The fragments,
too small to be distinguished by the naked
eye, and floating about in the rooms occu
pied by the workmen, have sharp, cutting
edges and jagged points, frightful to look
at under a high magnifying power. Wepre--
sume that but few, if any, find their way
far into the respiratory organs, as the bar
riers which nature has interposed afford
almost complete protection against injury
from this source. If it were otherwise,
litany of our industrial pursuits would be
fatal to life. The dust from shoe factories
affords much that is interesting to study.
The fragments, are all from organized sub
stances, principally from leather. The fil
aments are twisted and convoluted in a
curious manner, and some of them appear
like snakes and lizards. The air in shoe
factories is constantryoadled with these in
finitesimal particles.—Boston Journal of
Chemistry.
DISCOVERIES OF TILE 3licaoscoPE.
Lewenboeck tells us of an insect seen with
the microscope, of which twenty-seven
millions would only equal a mite. Insects
of various kinds may be seen in the cavi
ties of a grain of sand. Mould is a forest
of beautiful trees, with the branches,
leaves, flowers and fruit. Butterflies are
fully feathered. Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is covered with
scales like fish ; a single grain of sand would
cover one hundred and fifty of these scales,
and yet a single one covers
five hundred pores. Through these
narrow openings the sweat forces
itself out like water through a sieve.
The mites make five hundred steps a sec
ond. Each drop of stagnant water con
tains a world of animated beings, swimming
with as much liberty as whales in the sea.
Each leaf has a colony of insects grazing
on it, like oxen on a meadow.—American
Journal of Microscopy.

THE WEEKLY STATE JOURNAL
Was established at Harrisburg to supply-a want
long felt in all parts of the State. No effort will be
spared to make it an acceptable weekly visitor to
the intelligent families of l'enusyl, ant:, It will
be devoted to Independent Journalism, will defend
and advocate the rights and interests of the people
and will assist every effort to advance the religious
educational, moral and social condition of humani
ty. So long as the Republican party continues to
be, as it now is, more than any other political or
ganization, the enactor and defender of liberal and
impartial laws, the protector of American Labor,
the promoter of American Manufactures, and the
leader in all great reforms, the Journal will advo
cate its principles and defend its policies.
The mining and manufacturing interests of the
State, and the rights of the laboring men employed
therein, shall always find favor in these columns.
National and State measures proposed and enacted
for the protection of American industry will ever
be urged, advocated, and defended. The latest

the session will be reported fatty and promptly, so
that the readers of the- Journal may know what is

and religion. It is a good agricultural paper, a
good educational paper, a good temperance paper,
a good religious paper, a good family newspaper.
The Journal is published by the "Harrisburg

THE KIDNEYS,
Thu Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part of the lion, surrounded by fat, and con
sisting of three parts. viz: the Anterior, the In
terior, and the Exterior.
GLASS,
The' anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine
and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a
conductor-also, terminating in a single tube, and
called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with
the bladder.
The bladder is composed of Various coverings or
tissues. divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the
Lower, the Nervous and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desiae to
urinate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their var
ious functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to effect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood arc supported from these sources.
Gorr. on RnentArissr.—Pain occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persona disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concretions.
THE GRAVEL.—The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gani being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
. . _
Dnoesr is a collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, according
to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it is called Anasarea ; when of the
abdomen. Ascites : when of the chest, Hydrothorax.
TREATMENT.—lfelmbold's highly concentrated
compound Extract Duebu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism and gout
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Dysurin, or difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges
of water: Strangury, or stopping of water; Hems
turia, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of
the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was always
highly recommended by the late Dr. Pbysiek, in
these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion,
and excites the absorbents into healty exercise by
which the watery or calcareous depositions, and
all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in
flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men,
women and children. Directions for use and diet
accompany.

11. T. lIELMISOLD, Druggist:
Dear .Sir:—l have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and have been under the
treatment of the mast eminent Physicians, expert
encinglittle relief.
Itaving seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buehu.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no reme.
dins hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It
was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of huchu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice after an examination of the article
and consulting again with the druggist, I conclud
ed to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my
room. From the first bottle I was astonished and
gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time. but thought my improvement might
only be a temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value to you,
and more satisfactory to me. . _ .
I am now able to report that a cure is effected
after using the remedy for fiive months.
I have not used any now for three months, and
fell as well in all respects, as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor—n nice tonic and invigorator of the
system. Ido not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affections.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructi
