TABM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
ITe nWf commtmfcatfoniirom aW pcwnstefto are
inferesfcd in matter properly belonging to thit
department.
Walks About the Premises.
The season is upon us when good,
walks about our dwellings, barns and out
houses generally, aro very desirable on
many accounts hsalth, convenience and
comfort being among them. How many
of our agricultural readers neglect this
home duty ? How many allow the paths
even to their houses to be almost im
passuble in moist weather ? And so with
the paths to the barn, or different stable
doors, to the hog-pens, cattle-yards, &c.
We have known persons to wade through
water, mud and soft manure for eight
months in the year, to get at these sev
eral places, at the expenso of damp feet
and nasty boots, instead of providing a
footway of stones, coal-ashes or boards,
either of which could be made at small
expense and a few hours of time in labor,
Especially is this neglect to be condemned
where the females of the family aro the
sufferers. We have many times seen the
way to the wood-pile, corn-bin, spring
house, chicken-bouse, chickeu-yard, and
other indispensable points, totally unfit to
be used by them. If any one thinks
there is any economy in this, .he
is grievously mistaken. To say nothing
as to the loss of time in wading through
the mud, the wear and tear of shoc-lcather
and injury to garments would alone pay
the expense of providing good, dry
walks ; but when the question of health,
of suffering and doctor's bill are taken into
account, they ought to be sufficient to
drive every negligent, unsympathizing
head of a family, whether in town or
country, to follow the suggestions herein
made. A man who will not look after
the reasonable needs and comforts of his
household, does not deserve to have a
family.
Feeding Poultry.
The habit of giving much food in a
short space of tjme to poultry is a very
bad one. If you notice their habits you
will perceive that the procoss of picking
up their food under orpiuary, or what we
mav call the nainral coddition, is a very
slow one. Grain by grin does the meal
get taken, aud with the aggregate no small
amount of sand, small publics, and the
1 like, all of which, passing into the crop,
assists digestion greatly. But in the
" lien wifo'i" mode of feeding poultry, a
great heap is thrown down, aud the birds
are allowed to " peg away" at such a rate
that their crop is filled too rapidly, and
the process of assimilation is slow, pain
ful aud incomplete No wonder that so
many cases of choked crops are met with
under this treatment. Many other dis
eases which affect chickens might bo ob
viated by- amateur breeders were a little
precaution taken in so simple a thiug as
feeding. Regularity of l'eeding is also
essential.
To Make Iodine Colorless.
Tincture of Iodine, so extensively used
its a local applications for swellings, etc.,
may bo rendered colorless without its
strength being impaired, by adding to it
a little hyposulphite of soda. This is u
most desirablo discovery since it is so
often necessary to apply it to the face,
neck or hands, where the ordinary brown
preparation would make the patient pre
HCtit an unenviable appearance.
Scrapple.
Take all the odd bits of lean, the faces
of the porkers, a small portion of liver,
and boil them all together till the bones
drop out. Pick out the bones and every
thing not eatable, chop the meat Snee
drain all tho liquor back into the kettlj
and remove all tho fat ; thicken tho liquo,
with Indian meal and boil it till it is as
thick as batter, then put in tho chopped
meat, sage, salt aud pepper, boil ail to
gether and take out into pans. When
cold cut in slices and fry for breakfast.
jfcaT"To cure dogs of sucking eggs, a
correspondent or tho Southern Cultiva
tor says : " Take an egg' punch a hole in
it largo enough to admit tho little blade
of a knifo and put in through tho hole as
much emetida s can be piled on a dime
piece, and give it tho dog, or put it in a
convenient place wncre he will find it.
Repeat three or our ' times within tea
days or two weeks.

THE KIDNEYS.
1MIE Kidneys ire two In number, situated at
the upper part of the loin, Burrottnded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz i tho An- -terlor,
the Interior and the Exterior. '
The Anterior ubsorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for
tho urine imd convey It to the Exterior. The
Exterior is a conductor also, terminating In a
single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters
are connected with tho bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz. i the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and tho Mucous.
The upper expels, the lower retains. Many
have a desire to urinate without, the ability;
others urinuto without the ability to retain.
This frequently occurB in children.
To cure these nflections, wo must bring int
action the muscles, which are engaged in their
vtirioiiB functions. If they are neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy nitty ensue.
The render mttBt also ho inn do aware, that
however slight may be the attack, it is sure t
ail'cct tile bodily health and mental powers, ns
otir tlesh und blood are supported from these
sources.
Gout, on Riiki-matism. Pain occurring in
the loins arc indicative of the above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
Dear Sin I have been a snlTcrer, fornpwnrd
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney allections, during which time I hnvo used
various medleinnl preparations, nnd been under
the treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, I consulted with my family physi
cian in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I did this because I hud used oil kinds of ad
vertised remedies, aud had found them worth
less, and, some quite injurious ; in fact, I de
spaired of ever getting well, nnd determined t
use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the
ingredients. It was this that prompted mo to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it.
was composed of buchu, cubebs, aud juniper
berries, it occurred to ine and my physician ns
an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, nnd con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to
try it. I commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time I was conllncd to my room.
From tho llrnt bottle I was astonished and grat
ified at tho beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much
liko writing you a full statement of my case at
tho time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would ellcct a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more value to you,
and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is effect
ed after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used nny now for three months,
and feel ns well in ail respects ns I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of
tho system, I do not mean to be without It
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections.
m. Mccormick.
Should any doubt Mr. McCormick's state
ment, he refers to the following gentlemen :
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 tho bladder, but allowed to remain ;
it becomes tcvcrlsh, and sediment lorms. it is
from this deposit that the stone is formed and
gravel ensues.
Dbopsy Is a collection of water In some part
of the body, nnd bears diil'ereut names, accord
