Don't Sell Your Farm by the llttshcl.
MANY a farmer who works steadily
nntl Kcalously to keep every acre of
liis farm as an inheritance for his chil
dren, is unwittingly Felling it away by
driblets, when, by a more judicious course
(of management, he might make as much
money and keep adding to the value of
tho place. Having a barrel of good wine,
he draws off the conteuts, little by little,
and keeps tho barrel without tho wine.
Tho value of tho farm lies in its ferliliii,
iind, except in rare cases, only in its fer
tility. It depends on his management,
whether he leaves it like an emptied bar
rel to his children, or full of the good
wine, that constitutes its great value.
Indeed, the example is not strong enough,
for tho fertility of the land is not an idle
wealth, like the wine in the barrel. It
may be drawn out and lived upon, and
yet be kept constantly increasing. It all
depends on management whether the
father shall thrive, and, at the same time,
increase his sons' inheritance, or the re
verse. It is not the crop which grows that
exhausts the land; it is the dispositon we
make of it after it is grown. Every bush
el of grain contains matters supplied by
the soil. If it is sold, there is an end of
it, so far as the farm is concerned. If it
is fed out on the place, nearly the whole
of the part taken from the soil goes into
the dung heap, and there goes with it
matter which the growing plant took, di
rectly, irom the atmosphere, and which
helps to develop more of the mineral
plant-food of the soil, and to make more
than a bushel the next year. Therefore,
look well to the crops. Sell, of course, all
that cannot be fed out on the place, and,
with a part of the price, buy manure to
bring home. But, in couuting the profit
and loss of feeding at home, consider al
ways the value of the manure. It is safe
to say that, one year with another, corn
thoroughly soaked and cooked, never
mind the grinding if you cook thorough
ly and fed to well-housed swine of a
4 growthy" breed, will bring more mono
than if sold in the market, to say noth
ing of the manure; indeed, it will more
often than not pay to buy corn to make
into pork cooking it first. Grow clover
to be fed to your own stock, the sod to be
plowed in the spring of tho second year ;
plant corn on the land ; feed the corn to
your own pigs, and use the manure of tho
sty to top-dress in March the clover you
intend to plow for corn in May. If this
plan be followed, a crop of wheat or of
barley, every third year, will not prevent
the laud from growing richer and richer;
but if the farmer sells his corn and wheat,
and buys no manure, the impoverish
ment of the farm, and emigration of his
sons, are sure. American Agriculturist.
J2f Henry Boynton writes to the New
England Farmer that ho believes the
whole secret of curing foot-rot in sheep is
in perfect cleanliness, contiuued so long
as the case demands. Seven bad cases
were taken for experiment. All tho dis
eased part of tho shell was cut away ; the
feet were thorouirhly washed in cold wa
ter, and the sheep were put in a dry pen,
well littered with straw. Tho result was
that every hoof became sound. With ti
small flock he thinks nothing inoro is
needed, but with a large flock the use of
vitriol is advised.
JBfi?" Many a dangerous fever has been
caused by the foul air from dark, damp
and unveutilated cellars. Confined air,
without the purifying influence of sun
light, soon becomes impure and unwhole
some. Most cellars servo as a reservoir
for this impure air, which, in addition, is
loaded with decomposing organic matters
and foul gases, given off from the masses
of decaying vegetables with which they
are stored. Cellars should be kept as
clean, pure, and well-ventilated as any
portiou of the house. The Household.
JJSif Buckwheat Cakes: Tho fine brown
color so desirable on this favorite break
fast dish cannot bo obtained if wo rely
on buckwheat flour and water alone, to
form the batter. In order to secure this
color, milk should be used instead of
water, and in its absence we should re
commend th addition of finely mashed
boiled potatoes. This mashed potato im
proves the flavor of the cakes and causes
them to riso better.

The Profit of Chickens.
Mr. Kditor Sir: Having kept an ac
count of the number of eggs our hens
laid during tho month of January, and
the amount received for them, 1 hcresend
you the account for publication :
Wo had but ten laying hens, and they
laid 17 dozen, which amounted to$t 30,
having sold some at 530 cents, somo at 25
cents, and some at 20 cents per dozen.
We keep but one dozen chickens over
winter, and sell more eggs than most big
farmers, who keep 50 or a 100. We
keep no dog, and the chickens get the
crumbs and waste from the table, which
makes them lay eggs all winter.
Chickens pay better than dogs.
A neighbor of mine, who follows day's
labor for a living, and keeps a dozen
chickens, but no dog, says his hens have
brought him in more money this winter,
by laying eggs, than ho earned himself at
his occupation.
If you want hens to lay eggs in winter,
give them a little meat every day. I
think there is nothing pays better than
chickens, even if eggs do come down to
15 cents per dozen, for that is a good
price.

B Baked Indian Pudding: Take two
quarts of sweet milk, and boil one quart,
and while boiling, stir in as much Indian
meal as will make a very stiff batter; add
a tcaspoonful of salt, and make sweet
with molasses. Butter a pan and pour
the remaining quart of cold milk over it.
Cut little bits of butter and put on the
top, and bake two hours iu a moderate
oven.
JGSjy To wash calico without fading, in
fuse three gills of salt in four quarts of
water; put the calico in while hot, and
leave it till cold, and by this way the col
ors are rendered permanent, and will not
fade by washing.
Bsay The Xetc England Farmer recom
mends going over grass fields in the spring
of tho year, and scattering a sprinkling
of grass seed.
SF"The time is fast coining when
landed proprietors will be esteemed for
the condition of their acres, rather than
for the extent of their t:rritory.-
$aF Conked meal is nerly double the
bulk of uncooked, yet quart for quart it
goes as far. The difference is, that much
of the food is undigested unless cooked.

A Cure for Diptheria!
All interested, please read the following extract
from a letter from Mrs. Ellen B. Mason, wife of
Key. Francis Mason, Tounghoo, liirinah:
. . . My son w as taken violently sick with dip
theria, cold chills, burning fever, and sore throat.
1 counted, one morning, ten little vesclcles in his
throat, very white, and his tongue toward the
root, looked like a watermelon full of seeds; the re
mainder coated as thick as a knife-blade. So many
children have died around here, I was afraid to
call a physician, and thought I would try your Pain
Killer for a gargle with small doses Inwardly. I
did so and found the gargle Invariably cut oil the
vesciclcs, and he raised them up often covered with
blood. Ho was taken on Sunday: on Wednesday
Ills throat wasclearand his tongue rapidly clearing
nil. 1 also used It as a liniment with castor oil and
hartshorn, for his neck. It seemed to me a won
derful cure, and I can but wish it could be known
to the many poor mothers in our land who are los
ing so many poor children by this dreadful disease.
1 have found your Pain Killer one of the most
valuable medicines ever used iu lSurmah. Once I
war, stung by a very large black scorpion ; the pain
was indescribable. I immediately applied the Pain
Klller,(for I never travel without it.) again and
again, and In halt an hour my foot was well.
Dr. Walton writes from Coshocton " Your Pain
Killer cure this new disease DIplheria, or Sure
Throat that is so alarmingly prevalent here; and
it has not been known to fail In any instance when
used in time. This fact you should make known to
the world." (It Is used In this disease as a gargle
and lotion as well as a tonic and a stimulant.
In Halifax where this disease prevailed for so
many mouths in Its most malignant form, the use
of l'erry Davis" rain KiUnr" was invariably at
tended with the most favorable results, when it was
used ere the disease had made too much progress
to preclude the use of so powerful a stimulant.

They penetrate the secret almile of this terrible
