It would be well if some of the farmers of Porry county would take the following good advice home to their hearts, and make an effort to put it into practico : Help your wives in every way you can, trivial though it may seem to you. For instance : keep an extra pair of shoes or slippors in the hall or entry, and always romepibor to change your dirty boots before entering her clean rooms. Then you may be sure of a smile of welcome, as no dirt will be left af ter you for her to clean up. In the evening comb your hair as carefully as ever you did in your courting days, put on a clean coat or dressing gown, and when you take your paper to read, do not read to yoursolf, and leave her to her lonesome thoughts whilo sowing or mending, but remember that sho, too, Las been working bard all day, and is still working. Read to her whatever inter ests you, so that her interests and opin ions may grow with yours and that she may comprehend something besides love stories, of whioh too many have read more than they should. You will both be happier, and being a farmer's or a mechanic's wife will not bo such a dreadful tiresome and lonely life as many girls have now reason to think it is. A Wood Cistern. A Correspondent who has had much ex perience gives the following instruction re garding the method of making a good cis tern. The pcopor way is to dig your hole in a circular form not exceeding 12 feet in diam eter, and deep enough to hold the quantity of water you wish to have in store. Take care to put your hole down as straight as possible, so that when your wall comes to be laid up, all the intervening space be tween bank and wall may be filled up sol id leaving no space to give from the presure of the water. If there are large spaces that require filling with earth, you should ram it down tightly. Your wall should be at least nine inches thick. Your mortar should be one half bushel of cement to two bushels of good lime mortar, with the joints laid as closely as can be in order to have a good job. A cistern of the diame ter I mention can be built without a pier to support the crown ; after being finished, it should have a good coat of cemont mortar, which I generally make of one lialf cement to oue half of good sharp sand. Your crown and bottom should bo equal to the thickness of the sides, unions you have sand to contend with, in that case your bottom" should be four inches more. The Dest Breed of Cows. Thomas M. Harvey, residing near West Grove, Chester county, has been testing several grade of cows, with the following important results : It took 18 quarts of milk from a grade Durham cow to produce one pouud of but ter j while quarts of milk taken from a thorough bred Guernsey cow, produced the same amount of butter. In ordinary dai ries, twelve quarts of milk to one pound of butter are considered a fair average. The above tests shows that the milk of the Guernsey cow was almost three times as rich in butter as that of the Durham. In this respect, however, different oows of the same breed may, and doubtless do, vary much. The quantity of milk given by each cow should also be taken Into the account. A Durham that would give three times as much as a Guernsey, even though not so rich, would be even more valuable. Buch testa, however, as those made by Mr Har vey, clearly show the great Importance of the question to every dairyman who would secure the greatest return from his capital invested. A Boot Back. One 6f the greatest troubles of the neat housewife in tho country, results from mud dy boots of those members of the family who have to work in the fields, the stables and the barnyard. The wet boots must be dried and are generally left under the kitoh - en stove, where their presence is very dis agreeable. Now, to have a neat kitchen, there should be a boot rack placed behind the stove, in which the damp boots may be placed to dry. Buch a contrivance has been found a great convenience. It has three shelves about four feet long, tou inches wide, and placed a foot apart. At one end a bout-jack is fixed by hinges so that, when not in use, it is folded against one end of the rack and secured by a button. Tbei is also a stand for cleaning boots at the front, whioh also folds up wbon not in use, and the blacking brushes are plaoed on the shelves behind the stand, and are out of sight, and when folded they hung down out of the way. The rack should be made of dressed pine boards, aud stained some dark, durable color. 13T" Muscatine, Iowa, has the boss pota to. It is twenty-one Inches long, thirteen in circumference, about four pounds in weight, and has more eyes than Argus. THOMPSON'S and Ague Powders ! Fever FOB THI PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLS AND FE VER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM OF INTERMITTENT FEVER I The Greatest Discovery of the Age I THERE are no diseases so debilitating in their effects upon the constitution as tho above, and none more difficult to cure by tho usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague Powders will effect a cure in cases of the long est standing, as well as prove a preventive in the forming stages of disoase. Being purely Vegetablo, they act with certainty on the dis ease, totally eradicating it from the system, and preventing a return at any future period.

Their Itcjmtntion in EatabUshttl. Thousands of testimonials havo been received, showing that these Powders have performed miracles iu curing cases of long standing, many of them considered hopeless. There it no Itlfk in Taking Them. they contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause none of those lingering diseases so often the re sult of the many nostrums of the day. Physi cians recommend them as far superior to Qui nine, or any other known remedy.for they leave the system in a healthy state, and tho patient beyond the probability of a relapse. BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The genuine are put up In square tin boxes, with "Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders" stamped on the lid. and the signature of "Thompson & Crawford," on tho wrapper. No others can possibly bo genuine. PREPARED ONLY BY Crawford & Fobes, No. 141 MARKET STREET, IrMiiliiclelpHia. THOMPSON'S AND HOUSE LINI3IENT!
