TAUHL AND HOUSEIIOLB ITEMS
VT Invite eommnniestinns from all persons who r
interested in matters jroerl- belong-lny- to this de
partment. Seeding M'hont.
Mr. A. Gibson, of Pleasant Valley West
moreland county, Pa., in a note to the
Philadelphia Farmer, give IiIh mode of
farming. lie has what he calls the diver
sified system, raising corn, bBrley, clover,
wheat, cattle and sheep; but his particular
hobby is raising wheat. For the past five
years he has averaged 40 bushels of the
TueBt quality, always being over weight; he
think he is gaining every year, and attri.
hutes this to the system pursued, and es
pecially to koeplng sheep. His rotation is
corn, barley with clover; third year, clover,
and fourth year, clover plowed down for
wheat We will give his own desciiption
of the process pursued; " I have never mis
sod a crop of clover by seeding with barley.
It gives the grass seed a chance which oats
does not. I raised full crops of barley,
which does not at all interfere with the
grass, but I think rather helps by the slight
shadow. After barley is out, the clover
makes astonishing growth, giving me supe
rior late pasture. Owing to the dangor
from mice, I pasture it down pretty close.
1 1 My soil is clay loam. I plow down the
rank clover, about nint inehet dp, give
it one harrowing, then haul out ray manure
and spread. This I plow down shallow, as
I consider it important to have the fertil
izer near the surface fur the roots of the
wheat plant. I use the drill, putting on
one bushel and one peck per acre.
" 1 have never bad a wheat crop hurt by
freezing and thawing, which I see you some
times suffer from tn Eastern Pennsylvania.
One season, and one only, when we had
very tine fall of growing weather, the
wheat grew so rank that 1 pastured it some
during the winter. I have never bad any
attacks of insect enemies on the wheat crop,
and feel as certain of crop of about 40
bushels per acre under my system, as that
Sfiriug will succeed winter. ' It is ten years
ftince I moved on to this farm, and believe
uothing more recuperates a worn-out farm
than keoplng sheep. Thoy, spread their
manure evenly over the field, and I have
found the truth of what some one said, that
the tread of a sheep is golden.
"I have 100 ewes, chiefly of common breed,
and put with them every fall a couple nf
pure Southdown bucks, which gives me
line early lambs, and railroad faeilities are
such that I send them to your Philadelphia
butchers with as much ease as if I were
only twenty miles out."
- Te Keep Eggs Orer Winter.
The tarmerf AdvoeaU recently offered a
prize for the best method of keeping eggs
over Winter. The receipt given bolow
took the prize : . .
Whatever excludes the air prevents the
decay of the egg. What I have found to
be the most successful method of doing so
is to place strouU quautity of salthutter in
the palm of the left band and turn the evu
round in iV.BOjltbatJoveryJpore of thiuell
is closed ; then dry a ufuoient;quanUtyof
bran in an oven (be sure you have thebran
well dried, or it will rust.) Then packthem
with the small eodsldown, a layer of bran
and another of eggs, until your box is full;
then place in a cool, dry place. IfJ done
when new laid, they Jwill retain the
sweet milk and curd of a new laid egg for
at least eight or ton mouths.' Anyjoil will
do, but salt butter never be comes rancid,
and a small quantity of butter will do a
vary large quantity of eggs, To insure
freshness I rub them when gathered in
from the nests; then pack when there is a
sufficient quantity.
Sunburnt Potatoes.
At this season of the year It is not un
common o find among our farmers a con
siderable amount of lotatoes wbhih have
been Injured by too much exposure to the
sun. This not only spoils thorn for use but ;
makes them poisonous to stock. They are
usually fed, but this Is needless, as they
will do as well for seed as others. In many
portions of Europe, and particularly iu
Ireland, it is considered best to "sunburn"
the seed potatoes before they are stoied
for the winter. We do not kuow what
theory is made use of to account for the
tiraotiue, but We know that so fur as growth
is oonoerned a sunburnt potato will grow
as well as any other.
137 In all the departments in Prance
aunV Germany where beet-sugar is grown
and manufactured, the yield of wheit pro
duced by those departments has been more
than doubled, and that notwithstanding
tut potash and soda are made from the
infuse of sugar and sold and taken away
from the laud thus really depriving the
laud of important mineral constituents to
fertilizing to the farms is found the feeding
of beet-root pulp ; aud the increase of ma
nure from the number of cattle ke t on it,
m spite of the loss of potash, and salts in
die sugar crop.
CnltlTatlon or a New drain
The cultivation of a grain known as
Upens has been begun In Buffolk county,
L. 1. H i extensively raised in Germany
f.tr fattening sheep and cattle, and is al
ub1 for plowing under when in bloom.

The question is almost dailyasked, "What
is the cause of the unparalleled success, of
Viseoah UrrTEiis?" Our answer is, that
thev removo the cause of disease, and the
patient recovers his health. They are the
great blood purifier and n life-giving prin
ciple, a perfect Renovator and Inviporntor
of the system. Never before in the history
of the world lias a medicine been com
pounded possessing the remarkable qual
ities of Vinkgar Bittkiis in healing the sick
of everv disease man is heir to. They tire a
pen tie Purgative as well as a Tonic, reliev
ing Congestion or Inflammation of the
Liver and Visceral Organs, in liilious Dis
eases. ' ' ' '
If men will enjoy good liealdi, let
them use Vinegau IUttems as a medicine,
:md avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants
i!i every form.
No Person can take tliese Hitlers
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
nnd vital orpins wasted beyond repair.
