6 FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS We inrite communications from all personsiehoare interested in matters properly belonging to thin department. IJroom Corn. A correspondent of the Inquirer writing from Nine Points, Lancas ter county, says : Broom-corn lias not received tlie cultiva tion and attention which its importance in the family of domestic plants, and the liigh price which it commands, entitles it to. To most farmers it is a crop about which they have little experience and information and now, that its cultivation is beginning to bo regarded prolitablc, many incpiiries aro made concerning it. As regards its cultivation that is the same as other corn ; the only difference is it must bo planted thicker. Manufacturers like the brush fine, and consequently the corn ought to bo planted pretty thick in tho row, and cut off before it is fully ripe, about the beginning of September ; then the brush will have a uniform color, which is very desirable, as brooms of a uniform, greenish color will command a higher price in tho city. A good aero can bring from live hundred to a thousand pounds of brush which brings now in Philadelphia twenty cents per pound, or four hundred dollars per ton. Broom corn is now the most prof itable crop that tho farmer can raise. Beets. The culture of tho beet is said to be worth more to a country .as a fertilizer than the product directly derived from tho treat ment of the root, the waste pulp proving more valuable than the sugar. It is fed to barncd cattle in large quantities. , It is sta ted that in France, where the business has grown to enormous dimensions, the increase in cattle on account of beet pulp is wonder ful. In the district of country surround ing the city of Valenciennes, where, be fore tho production of beet sugar, seven hundred oxen was the total amount, eleven thousand five hundred are the total amount raised last year. But this is not all. This enormous increase of stock has so much ad vanced the fertility of the land that ono hundred and ninety-two thousand bushels more wheat is raised in tho same district per annum than were ever raised in pre vious years. IWTho "Michigan Farmer" thus talks of the crop prospects in that State : " Tho prospects of the wheat and grain market aro not such .as to indicate there will be any material change in price. The accounts of tho appearance of tho crop of wheat on tho ground would show that it has generally passed through tho winter without much injury. Generally, whoro we have been, though it appeared thin on the ground, it was in good condition. With the largo surplus crop of last year awaiting demand for consumption, prices will propa bly rule about the same as they aro at pres ent." EST Mucilago made of gum arable is good for many purposes but rather costly. A cheap kind and better adapted for past ing unsized paper, is made out of gum tra gacanth. A few cents worth can bo pro cured at a druggists, and will last for years. Place a stratum of tho gum half an inch thick in tho bottom of a bottle and fill it two thirds with rain water. In a few hours it will bo ready for use, and will last sever al weeks in hot weather without injury. W Matches should always be kept in a match safe. It is neither noat nor secure to leave them scattered on bureaus and stands. Every good tin shop supplies tho article, but if nothing hotter can bo had, empty mustard boxes with smooth fitting lids will answer. (0"" Water your horse either from a stream or pond rather than from a spring or well ; because tho latter is generally hard and cold while the former is soft and com paratively warm. The horso prefers soft, muddy water to hard water, though nevor so clear. W Sprinkle hay with water that, has salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing to the animal's taste, and is more easily di gested. A teasooonful of salt in a bucket of water is sufficient. t3T The value, of our farm crops for tho year 1809, divided equally among tho popu lation would give nearly $100 to each man, woman and child in the United States. W When your horse refuses his food, after drinking, go no further that day, be cause tho creature is thoroughly beaten. fT The recent rains in California dam aged or utterly spoiled vast quantities of grain, lying by tho river awaiting shipment HOTELS.

Hardly ever do I have my children complain of being sick, without having them ask In the same sentence for Tain Killer. Tor several years before I became acquainted with the I'ain Killer, I had sullercil a great (leal from mi affection In my throat, thought by somn physicians to be llionchltis. by others to be what Is called Minister' Hole Throat. At one time it was so seven' that 1 was obliged to give up preach ing. Wilhhi a few months after I had become ac quainted with the I'ain 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 effect. In a short time I was wholly relieved. K'.nce that time 1 have had a number of attacks of the saino nature, and the I'ain Killer has always afforded me relief. About one year since, my wife became sub ject to severe suffering from llheuinatisin: our re sort, as usual, was to the I'ain Killer, which would always relieve her.
