Rats and Grain.
To protect graiu from r t, TOU hate to
threrh vuriy. say in November, an<l then you
inuFt have u building that i* rat tight. to sa*e
it in goo<l condition. If rati have a five ac
cent? to grain, it i.s impossible to itave it free
from the litter of rats. Thi* makes it hok
had, for it damage* the sale of strain very much.
You vill observe the uecessity of early thresh
ing and cartful sloriiur. Perhaps a few hint*
on the couetruct'on of a grain storehouse may
be of fo-ue importance to some canl-t-a far
farmers. The first principal object to look out
for is the foundation ; if this is all right the
Important obstacles i overcome. This foun
dation consists of round posts only, for n com
crib they should be 5 feet long, 3 feet in the
ground, and 2 out ; for a storehouse, they
be 7 feet long. 4 feet in the ground,
nnd three out—this will bring the bottom of
the building level with w common wagon box
These posts may be made of white oak, chest
nut or rock oak. They should be shaved per
fectly smooth on the ontside, and set with the
butt end up. The upper or butt end should be
squared off with a saw, then ] ut a common
milkpnn on the upper end of these posts with
the bottom up. This pan will prevent all ruts
and mice ascending to the building, for it is a
hard job for rats nnd mice to climb a smooth
post that is set with the little end down, and
thou to make around the pan is an impossible
thing. For a eoruorib, 3 posts on a side are
sufficient ; for grain storehouse, 14 by 20 feet
if requires 4 on a side, or one under every post
or the building. Let your sills rest ou the bot
tom of the pan, and then proceed with your
building in any desirable way. I think the
roof of a grain bnilding should project at least
2 feet from the main bod) of the building all
round. Hemlock lumber is superior to any
other for granaries, for it is hard, corky and
full of slivers, which is hard to gnaw. When
a building is infested with rats und mice, I
would recommend portalle bins made to hold
not more than 100 bushels with cast wheels un
der them, say six inches in diameter. If bins
are portable you may arrange thern as you
please, so as to travel arourd them on every
side. This will give you and your dog and cat
n good chance to kill these depredators. When
T see a farmer feeding from 40 to 100 rats all
winter on grain, when it is worth from 4 to 20
shillings per bushel, I calculate he is climbing
the ladder of science feet foremost, and is lia
ble to fall before he arrives at the top, yet ma
ny are doing business in this same way. Were
they compelled to give amount of grain to the
poor that these long tailed devils destroy year
ly for them, they would feel very much af
fronted. Open your eyes, friends, and look in
to this matter.— Oxrcgo Timtt.
THE TIMTOKY or BITTER. —From the vari
ous statements in history, it may be safely con
cluded that the discovery of butter is uttribu
table neither to the Greeks nor Roman, bnt
that the former were made acquainted with it
hv the Scythians, Thracians andPrygians, and
the latter bv the people of Germany It ap
pears, says Beckman, thnt when they had learn
ed the art of making it, they employed it on
ly as an ointment in their baths, and particu
larly as a medicine. It is never mentioned by
Galen and others as food, though they have spo
ken of it as applicable to other purposes. No
notice is taken of it by Apieius, nor is there
anything said in that respect by the authors
who treat on agriculture, though they have gi
ven accurate information regarding milk, cheese
and oil. This may be easily accounted for by
the fact, that the ancients were entirely accus
tomed to the use of good oil. In like man
ner, butter is very little used at the present
day in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the sou
thern parts of France, but it is sold in the
apothecaries' shops for medical purposes. Dur
ing the ages of Paganism butter appears to
have been very scarce in Norway ; mention is
made by historians of a present of butter so
large that a man could not carry it, and which
was considered a very respectable gift.— Far
mer's Magazine.
Kr.rr YOCR FKF.T DRY.—BY making A com
position of tar, tallow, heeswax, lampblack
and tanner's oil, in the following way : to one
pint of melted tallow, add one pint of tanner's
oil, one large spoonful of tar and of lampblack,
a piece of beeswax the size of a hen's egg
Heat this all up hot, stir it thoroughly and
set it away to cool. It should he kept in an
iron vessel. and applied with a brush. Do not
heat it in, for it wants to remain on the out
ride of the leather. When it iR thoroughly
rubbed in with a brush, put on yonr boots or
shoes and walk out awav from the fire.
This preparation is verv good for the har
ness that worn by the team horse, in rainy
weather. The proper way to apply it is to
take the harness to pieces, clean it well, then
put the preparation into some warm water in
an iron pot. The preparation will remaiu on
top of the warm water. Thou commence by
dipping a piece at a time of the harness into
the pot.— ')icgo Timfi.
XATTRAI. Fh'UIVGS or A HORRK'S HOOF.—
livery one knows the additional power of re
sisting or sustaining concussion and weight any
fibrous substance has, if struck or pressed in
the direction of the fibres, besides if acted on
in any other. The hoof of the horse is corn
posed of an infinite number of dense fibres,
strongly agglutinated together, and to enable
it with the greatest advantage to meet and
support the concussion there is when it strikes
the ground, these fibre# are every one of them
so placed in the unshod foot as to receive the
shock directly on their ends. In addition to
this, the front part of the hoof, where the force
of concussion in greatest, is twice or thrice as
thick and strong as tne sidcß and heels, its
slope indicating exactly the direction of the
descent of the horse's weight.
T.ICR FS FARM STOCK.—Y\* hen any stock is
infested with lice, whether horses, rattle, sheep
or hogs, I give copjveras iu their food every
other day, for six or eight days—say a tcn
spoonfiil to a sheep. If the above directions
are followed, I wilt pledge my word the pre
scription will kill the vermin, inside and out,
leaving your cattle with a clean stomach and
a healthy skin. The remedy is so simple yon
may uot think it worth trying, but is ao hum
bug.—Rural Farmer.
How TO KNOW A FOOT.. —A fool, says the
Arab proverb, may be knowD by six things.
First, auger without a cause, second, speech
without profit, third, change without motive,
fourth, inquiry without object, fifth, putting
iru-t iu a stranger, and sixth, not knowing bis
friends from bis foes.

!THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
AND
DIRECT & TO-Bt-FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN - , of Towsnda, respect
fully informs the public that be has Lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to be one of the most "important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago. a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the Itodv,
by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
Eoisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
is art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so. and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected. with like results. His auoeess exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which
were the result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Bath to draw from the sy stem all mi
nerals that may be lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afliictrd by diseases
which are beyond the rompreheiiaion of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the nfft-ct of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The follow ing are some of the di.-eases cured by these
baths: Rheumatism. Paralysis. Palsy. Painter's Cliolie,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer.
Xeuralia lu all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He has also R. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND
TO-AXD KR( I ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very
great, in introducing medicine* into the eystem through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all local diseaee*.
I am now prepared to apply the*e Bnths, and also the
Machines, at my house in tne south part of the borough
of Towanda. or 1 will visit patient" at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
