JH1I and Drill Corn.
Among the cxporimcnta tried during
the year by Prof. Daniels, on tho Exper
imental Farm of tho University of Wis
consin, were Home to test tho comparative
methods of hill and drill planting of corn
both for grain production and when de
signed for forage. Corn planted in hills
yielded 5.4 per cent, less than that in
drills. The general appearance of that
in hills was much tho best, however, the
ears being larger and filled better at tho
tips. That in hills had 10.9 per cent of
Boft corn, that in drills 11.4 per cent.
In tho experiments with corn as a forago
crop, equal quantities of land were nown
broadcast and planted in drills three and
vne half feet apart ; seven bushels of seed
to the ncro being used in each case.
That planted in drills gave the best for
ago and the greatest amount. In another
experiment eleven bushels per acre were
sown broadcast, and seven planted in drills.
In this case the broadcast sowing gave
the largest yield. Prof Daniels remarks
in his report, that one reason broadcast
vowing requires more seed is that all the
need is not covered, and birds and grass
hoppers carry off much that is uncovered.
He suggests as a better method for those
having grain drills that they sow nine
bushels to the acre, using each third tooth
of the drill.
Onions for Poultry.
It is a well-known fact to tho owners
of poultry that the occasional use of on
ioua, mixed and fed to poultry with their
other food, is ono of the best ways of
keeping a yard of poultry in health. 1
am afraid it has not received the atten
tion and use that its merits really demand.
I am well satisfied that the use of this
vegetable would prevent three-fourths of
tho diseases that a poultry yard is sub
ject to. Not that it is a cure-all after dis
ease has once secured a hold, but I know
that I have cured cases of most severe
croup by its use after standard remedies
had failed. I became convinced that if
an article like this would cure, the occa
sional use of it would be a preventative,
and such I have found it to bo not only
in croup, but in all those discascB that
poultry are liable to under carelessness
and mismanagement. Fowls will readily
eat it if sliced fine and mixed with their
food, Give it as often as once n week
oftener if you choose it will do them
good. Make a trial of this vegetable,
breeders of poultry, and then you will
know for a certainty how to appreciate it.
A Cure for Hog Cholera.
Rub the throat well with tar ; take one
gill of whiskey, in which mix one ounce
of the tincture of assafoctida ; then mix
one fourth of a pound each of cinnamon
bark, allspico and cloves ; put them into
a gallon of water and boil until reduced
to a quart ; take the same quantity of
this decotion and mix with the whiskey
nnd assafoetida and give to each hog.
Mr. M. says those hogs that were so
much afflicted as not to bo able to take
the dose he drenched twice and a cure
was effected. When slightly it was given
in their slops. This recipe was given to
Mr. Mering by a physician, and has been
used several times successfully. Nearly
all his hogs were sick; one died before
the medicine was administered, and sev
eral were not able to walk, but after
two or three doses they began to improve.
now to Obtain Rich Milk.
If you desire to obtain rich milk and
in abundance, give your cow three times
a day a mixture of salt and water, slight
ly warmed in the proportion of one pint
ofsalt to two gallons of water. In
practising this operation regularly, you
will remark that your cows will give im
mediately, from the effects of this drink,
twenty-five per cent more milk than bo
fore ; and at the same timo they will be
come attached so strongly to it, that un
less very thirsty will refuse clear cold
water. A bucket full, morning, noon
and night, will be sufficient.
riowiug.
Sandy soils may be plowed early, and
while wet ; but clay soils should never bo
disturbed till they are dry enough to
crumble, or pulverise when turned up.
Clay soil, being malleable and but slightly
elastio, the compression, or packing, by
the mould-board, will not swell out again;
and one plowing of clay land when wet,
will do it more harm than twenty good
plowings can afterwards remedy. It is
on this pi incible, than an old road can
never be made good toil.-
Children's Arms and Legs
Nude arms are the means of tho pre
mature deaths of many of tho little in
nocents. We often see these little mites
the darlings of their parents, with thick,
substantial clothing about the body,
mufflers around tho throat, and caps
on their heads, with their arms bare to
tho elbows, and their legs in a similar
condition nearly up to their knees. These
extremities of a child, in which tho blood
is never of so high a tcmpcraturo as it is
in tho adult, and in which it is of the
greatest importance that it should be
kept in a circulating medium, ought to
be warmly clad. Every parent, and es
pecially every mother, should see that
the clothing of a child courts down to the
wrists upon tho arms, and to the feet upon
the legs. It may be fashionable, it may
bo gratifying to tho mother's vanity and
to the fathor's pride, to sec tho clear
skin of their children; but it is often
death to the children. Every practising
physician could tell a tale upon this sub
ject that should make the cars of all such
indiscreet parents to tingle. A distin
guished English physician, who had prac
tised forty years' stated that he believed
he had known several thousands of chil
drcu brought to an untimely grave by
going with their arms and legs naked ;
and a distinguished physician who died
some years since in Paris, declared, " I
believe that during the twenty six years
I have practised my profession in this
city, twenty thousand children have been
carried to tho cemeteries a sacrifice to the
absurd custom of exposing the anus na
ked." As lovers ot children, we warn
parents against adopting such a deleteri
ous custom.
Treatment of Young Pigs.
To make pigs thrive, the feeder must
take an interest in them watch their
progress from day to day; sec what they
relish, giving them always enough but
never allowing them to leave any. Keep
their appetites always whetted up.
When their mother is finally taken away,
they hardly miss her, and to on thriving
without interruption. What is called
mange results cither from heat of too
many being together, or else from in
sufficient food. It can be cured by re
moval of those two causes, and giving a
thorough washing all over with soap
lather and tepid water especially behind
tho cars. Till very cold weather, give
no straw, or if any is allowed, change it
frequently. Nothing contributes more to
mange iu hogs than dirty straw. Sweep
out thoroughly the plank floor, on which
alone hogs should be allowed to sleep,
and whitewash the sides and corners.
Boil or steam small potatoes, pump
kins, squashes, cabbages, turnips, also
meal, and feed the young growing pigs
with them. Give them access to char
coal and occasionally wood ashes, as an
appetizer, and there is no difficulty in
making money out of pork Practical

WE ASK ATTENTION TO THIS CMirVAl.BD.
Family Medicine !
The Pain Killer in, hy universal consent, allowed
to liavc won for Itself a reputation unsurpassed In
the history of medicinal preparations. Us Instan
taneous eireet In the entire eradication and extinc
tion of Pain, in all Its various forms, incidental to
the human family, and the unsolicited written and
verbal testimony of the masses in its favor, liav
been, and are. Its own best advertisement.
For evidence In favor of tlio rain Kilter tor
Ministers' Sore Throat or lironchltis, read the fol
lowing: Gents. The Pain Killer has been a constant oc
cupant of our house for over two years, and a por
tion of the time It has been the only medicine un
der our roof. Hardly ever do 1 have my childre
complain of being siek, without having them ask
in the same sentence for Pain Killer.
For several years before 1 became acquainted
with the Pa'n Killer, I had suffered a great deal
from an affection in my throat, thought by som
physicians to be Kronehitls. by others to be what
Is called Ministers' Sore Throat. At one timo it
was so severe that 1 was obliged to give up preach
ing. Within a few month after I had become ac
quainted with the Tain Killer. 1 had another attack
from that distressing complaint. I tried my new
found medicine, and, to my astonishment and de
light. II produced a wonderfully soothing effect.
In a short time I was wholly relieved. Since thai
time 1 have had a number ot attacks of the sama
nature, and the Pain Killer has always afforded in
relief. About one year since, my wife became sub
ject to severe suffering from lllicmnatism; our r
sort, as usual, was to the Pain Killer, which would
always relieve her.
I have not time now to say more, as I could with
a hearty good will, and always have done, In
praise of the Pain Killer. If this hastily written
letter, In commendation of Perry Davis1 valuabl
medicine, will be of any service, you are at liberty
to do with it as you please.
