Useful Receipts and Suggestions.
Among the best of remedies to cure
eore teats of cows is to smear the teats
with syrup uiolasacs beforo milking. It
is cleaner and pleasauter than some other
greasy remedies.
A simple and very effectual remedy foi
sore back in horses is a plaster made of
the yolk of an egg and a tcaspoonful of
turpentine.
No farmer should build a house or make
any other improvement without as
certaining beforehand the probable cost
of tho same. The preliminary expense
of everything issscntial to all agricultu
ral thrift, and ho who neglects it will be
apt to discover his error after it is too
late.
Ten bushels of boiled potatoes, mashed
and mixed with three bushels of finely
ground corn meal, will make as much
pork as double the quantity fed iu a raw
KtutC.
One or two applications of buttermilk
will destroy lice on cattle, and is a sale
remedy to drive off tho vermin.
In feeding potatoes and turnips to cat
tle they sometimes will get a potato or tur
nip lodged in tho passage to the stomach,
in which case a common flexible wagon
whip pushed gently down the throat will
remove the object and give instant relief.
The most speedy method of making ci
der into vinegar is not to fill the casks
more than half full, with the bung left
out, which will expose tho largest surface
to the air, and will conseqently become
vinegar much sooner than if the barrel
be filled full.
The farmer in tho manufacture and
c ire of his manure heap, should always
keep in view that what is in preparation
should notbs allowed to lose its strength
by too rapid fermentation or have its so
luble parts unnecessarily washed away
and lost.
Planting Potatoes.
An Exchange thus talks in a lively
way to its readers, though a well-informed
correspondent :
" After experimenting for several years
with light and h.-avy seeding in potato
culture, I am convinced thatlight seeding
produces most uniform size and better
quality potatoes than heavy seeding.
' What I call light seeding is medium-sized
potatoes. Cut one eye iu a piece plan
ted sixteen inches apart, in drills four
inches deep; drills three feet apart. I
have tried forty varieties in this way, in
cluding all modern varieties, and it is evi
dent in my mind that, as a general thing
fanners use moro seed than is necessary
in planting potatoes. Because seed is
cheap and they have plenty of it, is no
reason for using so much. Better keep
tho surplus and boil them and feed them
to the piga." '
Wo have succeeded to our satisfaction
in raising potatoes for several years, by
planting for seed, tubers about the size of
small hen's-eggs, cut into halves and
sometimes quarters ; two pieces in a hill.
We always select the seed when the
potatoesare dry, making three sortings
marketable, planting, and small ones for
tho pigs. Those for planting aro care
fully placed in barrels, and put in the
driest part of a dry collar, and such a
thing of failure in getting good plants is
unknown.
)3?Sk, If brooms aro wet in boiling suds,
onco a week,they will become very tough,
will not cut the carpet, last much longer
and always sweep like a new broom. A
very dusty carpet may bo cleaned by set
ting a pail of cold water out by the door,
wet tho broom iu it, knock it to get off
tho drops, sweep a yard or so, then wash
tho broom as before, and swoop again, be
ing careful to Bhak off all the drops from
tho broom, and not aweep far at a time.
If dono with caro it will clean a carpet
. Very nicely and you will be surprised at
the quantity of dirt in the water, and it
needs changing once or twice if the carpet
h very dusty. 8now sprinkled over a
carpet and swept off before it has timo to
ihelt and dissolve, is also nice fur renova
'ting a soiled carpet. Moistened Indian
meal is used with good effect by some
houflekeepora. '
AST" Wood docs not burn until the sap
ii out,' and therefore it is better to dry it
in the Bummer sua' than by the beat
f the stove, i .1- '.
BciT A writer in an exchange paper
advocates planting an occasional lull in
in every corn field late, or taking pains to
replant the missing hills, and gives the
following reason for it : If tho weather
becomes drv durinsr tho fillinsr timo. tho
silk and tassel both become dry and dead.
In this condition, if it should become
seasonable, the silk revives and renews
its growth, but the tassel docs not recov
er. Then, for want of pollen, tho new
silk is unable to fill the office for which it
was designed. Tho pollen from the re
planted corn is then ready to supply the
silk, and the filling is completed. Me
says nearly ull the abortive ears, so com
mon in all corn crops, is caused by want
of pollen, and that ho has known cars to
double their Bizo in this second filling.
ftaf The best feed for horses affected
with heaves, is such as is nutritious and
succulent, and should be condensed into
as small a compass as possible. Dry and
dusty hay is injurious, nnd makes tho an
imal wheeze distressingly. Moistened
ground feed, potatoes, carrots and ruta
bagas are tho best feed for animals hav
ing this disease, and if the water to drink
would be given to the horse out of a cask
with slacked lime at tho bottom and stir
red occasionally, it would matterially less
en the difficulty of breathing.
JCSf Old ribbons will look quito re
newed if washed in cool suds mado of
fine soap and ironed when damp. Cover
the ribbon with a clean tl th and pass
the iron over that. If you wish to stiffen
the ribbon, dip it, whilo drying, into gum
nrabio water. White silk gloves wash
well, and should bo dried on tho hands
Never dampen bonnet ribbon and iron it
wet it makes it stiff as horn.

PINE TREE TERCOBOt At
It Is the vital principle of the PineTree, obtained
by a peculiar process In the distillation of the tar,
by which its highest medical properties are retained.
It invigorates the digestive organs and restores tho
appetite, ltstrengthens lliedebilitaled system, it
purities and enriches the blood, and expels from the
system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the
lungs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which
stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing
principle acts upon tho irritated surface of the
lungs and throat penetrating to each diseased part,
relieving pain and subduing Inllammation. It is
the result of years of study and experiment, and it
Is offered to the atllicted with the positive assur
ance of Its power to cure the following diseases, if
the patient lias not too long delayed a resort to the
means of cure:
Consumption of Vie Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat
and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint

WE ASK ATTENTION TO TniS t'NKIVAl.ED.
Family Medicine !
The Pain Killer Is, by universal consent, allowed
to have won for Itself ft reputation unsurpassed in
the history of medicinal preparations. Its instan
taneous elVcet In the entire eradication and extinc
tion of l'aln. In all its various forms, incidental to
the human family, and the unsolicited written and
verbal testimony of the musses In Its favor, have
w en. and are. Its own best advertisement.
For evidence In favor of the Pain Killer for
Ministers' Sore Throat or Bronchitis, read the fol
lowing: Cents. The Pain Kil'.er has been a constant oc
cupant of our house for over two years, and a por
tion of the time it lias been tho only medicine un
der our roof. Hardly ever do 1 have my children
complain of being sick, without having them ask
in the same sentence for Tain Killer.
For several years before I became acquainted
with the Pain Killer, I had suffered a great deal
from an allectlon In my throat, thought by some
physicians to be Hi onchltis. by others to be what
is called Ministers' Sol e Throat. At one time it
was so severe that 1 was obliged to give up preach
ing. Within a few months after I had become ac
quainted with the l'aln Killer, I had another attack
from that distressing complaint. I tried my new
found medicine, and, to my astonishment and de
light, it produced a wonderfully soothing ellcct.
In a short time I was w holly relieved. Since that
time I havo had a number of attacks of the sumo
nature, and the Pain Killer has always afforded mo
relief. About one year since, my wife became sub
ject to severe suffering from Itheumatism: our re
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 tho Pain Killer. If this hastily written
letter, in commendation of Perry Davis' valuable
medicine, will be of any service, you are at liberty
to do with It as you please.
