FAP.M AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS W Invite cnmmmilcatfonit from all pprsons whos intnrtHtd In matters properly belonsius to this c partment. 'When the Cons Come Home." Many of our fnrmors have wasted years of valuable time just because tlicy did not teach their cows to come lio.no at night Any one who has lived or traveled in the country will remember the familiar "Co- bng, Cobos !" of the farmer's son or hired man, as he endeavors to coax the cows from the great pasture. We have had a little experience in these matters, and well remembor bow many times we have waded through the brush and bogs looking for the cows, and, boy-like, we thought them dreadfully contrary animals ; but we have lived long enough to learn better, and now think that the biped was tho more contrary animal of the two. Boys, we will toll you a secret that will save you a great deal of trouble, and it is this : Every time the cows are driven up at night or in the morning give them a good lick of meal or bran, and our word for it the cows will always be on hand at milking time. Besides this, they will give more milk, and forgot to kick over the milk pail, even if you do whistle alittlo too loud. How a Pear was Named. A French nobleman, observing his ten ant about to destroy a flue, thrifty pear tree inquired the cause. He was told that it was a chance seedling, aud had born no fruit in 20 years. lie had already cut its roots preparatory to the first stroko, but was ordered to let it remaiu. He did so, aud in the following year it was loaded with superb fruit of an entirely unknown variety, which at once became celebrated. The root-pruning the gardener had given it worked like a charm. For many years at'ierwards, when the Duchess of Angou lemo was passing through Lyons, its in habitants sent her their hospitalities. Nine fair maidens presented the Duchess with golden salvers, ou which lay heaped this precious fruit, and begged her to bestow on it her name ; and the pear now recognized as the crowning glory of all fruits was thenceforward known as the Ducbesse d' Angouleme. ' Why Potatoes run Out. Some one asks why it is that potatoes so soon ruu out. There are but few po tatoes in a hill that are fit fur seed. Some ;iru overgrown, coarse, rank, and will not transmit the original quality Others are undergrowu, and not fully doveloped seed. A potato of medium size, perfect in all its parts, with change of ground, will produce its like ad infinitum. One other reason cutting potatoes between mem and seed end continually is wrong. It requires the stem and seed end to make perfect seed. If cut, cut lengthwise. Single eyes will run out any potato. There is no other seed that will bear mutilation like the potato; the only wonder1 is, that it does not run out completely. I'ost of Crops. A Delaware county (Ohio) correspond ent of the Rural Nam Yorker estimates 1110,0081 of growing the different crops ou laud worth sixty dollars an acre to be -corn, 80 bushels per acre, 20 cents per ImshelB ; 00 bushels per acre, 25 cents ; 40 bushels per acre, 81 to 85 cents ; 30 bushels per acre, 87 to 40 cents. Wheat, average cost, one dollar per bushel. Oats, at least HO cents at 80 bushels per acre. Potatoes at 100 bushels per acre, 20 cents. These estimates include manure, plowing, har rowing, drilling, planting, thorough, good cultivation ; and the stalks and straw of oorn and grain to pay for husking or threshing, and five dollars per acre for in terest aud taxes ou land. ' Frying Flab. .' 1 W.bile white flsh are abundant, and are generally cooked by frying, let me, an old housekeeper, give a bint or two as to the mode -in which the frying should be done. Put in the pan plenty of fat and If this fat is fried from pork for the occasion, so much the better ; turn the fish, as the fry ing goes on, frequently, so that no . part of it shall brown, much less burn, and then you will retain all Uie flavor of the fish and u cat it with .safety salt Is readily di gested. Fry with the ilsh several slices of breakfast bacon, commonly known as "Hi toll." This will give the flsh an addi tional flavor, and thus you may preferthe lii.li to the bacou. No fretdi fish should be fried without bacon, and never will be alter a trial. , W. Value of W alnut Timber. As nn illustrutiou of the increasing value of walnut lumber, the Indianapolis Journal notes that the standing walnut trees on a half section of land on Eel Itiver, in Miami county, Indiana, were sold to a lumber dealer for 117,000. There is a large amount of other timber on the tract which is not ifioluded, only the walnut timber being sold. Walnut lumber is coming more and more into use thioughout this country and Kurope, and at present a very large busi ness is done in preparing and shipping it from Indiana. ' Dr. .1.

Tlio question is almost daily asked, "What in the cause of the niipnrallclnd success of Vinkoau Bitteiis?" Our nnswer is, that they remove the causa of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and n life-giving prin ciple, a perfect Renovator aud Invioorator of tho system. Never beforein the history of the world lias a medicine been com pounded possessing the remarkable aual ilies of Vineoab Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, roliev in?; Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, m Bilious Dis cuses. If men will enjoy good health, let diem nse Vixeoau Bitters as a medicine, ml avoid the use of nlcoholio stimulants .ii every form. No Person enn take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poiBon or other means, aud vital orfrans wasted beyond repair. f.niieiui i lioiisanUs proclaim vnra- oar Bitters the most wonderful Invigor r.nt that ever sustained the sinking system. liilions, Ileniittent. and Inter mittent r evers, which are so prevalent in the volleys of our great rivers through out the United States, especially those of tho Mississippi, Ohio. Missouri. Illinois. Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Ala bama, Mobile. Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tribu taries, throughout our entire countrv dur ing the Summer and Autumn, and remark ably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by ex tensive derangements of tho stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful inti'ience upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathar tic tortlie purpose equal toDn.J.

For Iniiiiniinalorv and Chronic Ulietllliatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal.

No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no unthelinlnitics, will free the system from worms like these iiittora. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at tho dawn of womanhood or the turn of life, these ionio Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is Boon peroeptible. Jaundice. In all cases of jaundice. rest assured that your liver is not doing its work. The only sensible treatment is to promote the secretion of the bile and favor its removal. For this purpose use Vimeoab Bitters. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- ever yon find iU impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; eloause it when you find it ob structed ana sluggisii in tne veins; cleanse it wbea it is foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. ' B. If. ncDODALD CO DraggUrta ana Genaral AgnU. San Pnnclaoo, Oallfor. Ula. aud oar, WaaUUistoD aud ObarUoii bla., tiaw Jock.
