Tickles In Salt.
The season having returned when it is
desirable for the farmer's family to lay in
store their annual supply of cucumbers
for pickles, hinuiry is made, " llow shall
I hiy them down and preserve them in salt ?
I have put them clown in clear salt and
kept thcui so; they rise." The trouble
is owing, in all probability, to the neglect
ot complying with one small item essen
uai io ineir preservation. J. will again
repeat directions which I have proved
suceessiui m preserving cucumbers iroin
year to year, and for several years, quite
souna ana good.
lrocurcii suitable cask it may be
oak, pine, ash or other, provided it be
clean and will hold brine and good
coarse salt that will preserve meat, and
you have the essentials for preserving.
l'ut tho cask in the cellar as you would
your pork barrel. Gather your pickles
from day to day; cut them from the vino
with halt an inch of stem, all sound and
fresh, cleanse them of all dirt, etc.,
sprinkle in the bottom of tho cask a half
inch of salt, tumble in your pickles.three
t :.. i 3 i 1 V
ui iiiur liioiies ueep, aim puc on salt as
you would in salting pork. Fill it thus
till tho cask is full, or the desired quan
tity is stored. lmi can lay them in as
you gather them, once, twice, or three
times a week ; only they should be fresh
picked. If any on top soften, pick and
throw them out.
In a few days brine will form sufficient
to cover tho pickles ; now comes the one
essential so often neglected ; procure a
board to fit, or nearly so, the inside ot
the cask, and use it from tho first putting
in of the pickles, place it with a stone or
brick on it, on top of tho pickles to keep
them under tho brine, and there is no
possible danger of their spoiling or in
juring; a few on the top may soften, per
haps half a dozen or so ; these should be
( thrown out when occasion calls to use the
pickles.
Our people have kept cucumbers in
this way, sound and good, three or four
years. When we use them they are taken
up, rinsed, scalded, and soaked several
days, to freshen before having vinegar
put to them. The foregoing is tho best
way of preserving pickles, where they
are to be kept over winter, a not very
strong brine to put them in will preserve
them for a few monllis, and they are
often thus put down when they are to bo
marketed within two or three months.

Differences in Milking.
It is a fact that a poor milker will spoil
almost any cow, and there are but few
people who are aware of the fact that in
the mere process of milking a great dif
ference is made in the yield of a dairy
cow. The ability to bring a cow to her
largest yield of milk varies greatly with
different milkers, us many persons who
consider themselves good milkers arc in
reality poor ones. It must naturally fol
low that unless the cow is in a quiet, con
tented stato of mind, and satisfied with
the milker, that the usual secretion of
new supplies during milking will not
take place. It is generally owing to this
causo that cows oftentimes hold up
their milk," as it is termed, and this can
not bo obviated so long as tho cow is in a
restless stato of mind and dissatisfied
with her milker. Owing to tho intimate
connection between the nervous secre
tory systems of the cow, it should bo the
aim of tho milker to gain her confidence
and good will by feeding her with those
th inys she is most fond of. ISy this mere
diffei 'once in handling and becoming
thoroughly acquainted with them, many
cows can be made to increase their flow
of milk at least a quart a week, and this
too without any change in their food. It
makes a great difference in milking qual
ities of n cow as to who milks her, and
how tho operation is perfouicd, and in
judging of tho milking qualities of a cow
these questions should ulways bo taken
into consideration. Rurul American,
Cleanliness is so necessary to health
tli ut Dr. Francis says if ho ever recom
mended a cure-all, it thovtUl consist of a
bar of yellow soap.
Management of Land.
On clay soil, with favorable season,
good crops are always looked for where
sod is turned, and even to the second and
third plowing without tho aid of manure,
and hero is just the point that should bo
noted. Clay land should never be plow
ed until manure is required, and tho best
guide to be governed by is, cease plowing
before the decayed sod has disappeared,
stock to clover, plow under one crop, and
then use as mowing land, applying manure
to surface until it is desired to use again
for grain crops.
Many of our mutt successful farmers
never put a forkful of manure upon plow
ed ground, but use all that can be col
lected upon their grass land, aud do not
raise more than three crops in succession
upon plowed fields before returning it to
grass. It is well known to every farmer
that barn-yard manure multiplies labor
when put upon land used for hoed crops,
weeds will grow and plowing and hoeing
will not eradicate Ihein, and double labor
is required to obtain even a medium crop.
If an animal is allowed to get poor,
more feed is required to sustain life and
strength in said animal than in one always
kept in good condition, mid so it is
with land. When by over-plowing and
heavy draught upon tho soil fertility is
lost, it requires double the amount of feed
to reclaim it than would have been re
quired to have kept it in a good state of
productiveness by proper treatment.
JCST" A correspondent of the Prac
tical Fnrnirr ays that his experience
shows that two quarts of cooked potatoes
would do as much toward fattening as
four-fed raw, and that the value of corn
meal is very t:t:,-.r!y doubled by cooking,
lie considers raw potatoes almost value
less for fattening.

THE KIDNEYS.
TIIHE Kidneys rc two in number, situated at
X the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz : tho Au
tcrlor, tho Interior nnd tho Exterior.
Tho Anterior absorbs. Iuterior consists of
tissues or vcitiB, which servo as a deposit for
tho uriuo and convey it to tho Exterior. The
Exterior is u conductor also, terminating in h
single tube, and called the Ureter. The L'Veters
are connected with tho bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz. : the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
Tho upper expels, tho lower retains. Many
have a desire to urinate without the ability;
others urinate without the ability to retain.
This frequently occurs in children.
To euro these directions, wo must bring Into
nctlon the muscles, which are engaged in their
various functions. If they arc neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy inuy ensue.
Tho reader must also be nindo aware, tluU
however slight may be the attack, it is sure t
nfl'ect the bodily health nnd mental powers, as
our llcsh nnd blood aro supported from these
sources.
Gout, on Rheumatism. Pain occurring in
the loins are indicative of tho above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
The Gravel. The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment of the kidneys.
These organs being weak, the water is not ex
pelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain ;
it becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It is
from this deposit that the stone is formed and
gravel ensues.
Dropsy is a collection of water in some parts
of tho body, and bears dillcrent names, accord
ing to tho parts affected, viz. : when general
ly diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca ;
when of the abdomen, Ascites j when of the
chest, Ilydrothorux.
Treatment. Ilclnibold's highly conccutrn
cd compound Extract Buchu is decidedly otic
of the best remedies for diseases ol the blad
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and gouty affections. Under this
head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty
aud pain in passing water," Scanty Secretion, or
small and frequent discharges of water j Stran
gury, or stopping of water j Hematuria, or
bloody urine j Gout nnd Rheumatism of the
kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. It was al
ways highly recommend by the late Dr. Phys
iek, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of diges
tion, cud excites the absorbents into healthy
exercise by which tho watery or calcareous de
positions, nnd all unnatural enlargements, as
well as pain and inllamution, ure reduced, nnd
it is taken by men, women, und children. Dl
rectlons for use and diet accompany.

II. T. Helmuold, DruggUt i
Dear Sir I have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney affections, during which time I have used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but little relief.
llnving seen your preparations extensively
advertised, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your Extract Bucliu.
I did this because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, nnd, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, aud determined t
nso no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the
ingredients. It was this that prompted inc to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed of bucliu, cubebs, and juniper
berries, it occurred to me and my physician as
an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con
sulting again with tho druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time I was confined to my room.
From the first bottlo I was astonished und grat
ified at tho beneficial effect, and after using it
three wcekB, was able to walk out. I felt much
like writing yon a full statement of my case nt
tho time, but thought- my improvement might
only bo temporary, and therefore concluded t
defer and sco if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more value to you,
nnd more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is effect
ed after using the remedy for live months.
I have not used any now for three months,
and feel as well In all respects as I ever did.
Your Uuchu bclug devoid of nuy unpleasant
taste and odor, a uleo tonic and invlgorntor of
the system, I do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require Its use in such
affections.
