FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Doak and their Colts. —o— The St. Louis Globe has been making some:miculations from recent statistics on this question, and sums up in refer ence to the State of Miseonri as follows: "Our 400,000 dogs furnish one of the most important economic considerations now affecting the state.. In the first place they militate against the mutton crop annually to the extent of at least $5,000,000; secondly, they cost an aver age of 25 cents a week each, $6,500,000 enough to run all our common schools and' leave a large surplus; thirdly, they slay 'annually, through hydrophobia, at least 120 persons, which, at $5,000 each the average price paid by rail-roads for very poorest of brakesmen—amounts to the further sum of 8600,000. Here is a direct expenditure of nearly 87,750,000, for dogs, not to mention the fines, costs, and more remote sentimental damages ,resulling from lawsuits about dog fights and severance of friendship between the owners of the combative curs. Capital ized,qur dogs - represent a waste of $BO,OOO 000, and invested at compound interest their .worthlessness would pay of the na tional debt before 1900." Cracking Pears. ——o— A = correspondent of the Gardener's .Monthly says: Pears do not crack when the soil is sufficiently supplied with lime and potash ; and they crack most where these salts are deficient. Common wood asheg contain those salts, nearly in the quantity and proportions that pear trees on such soil require—forty per cent. of potash and thirty per cent. of Imp, Rea soning from these facts, I applied' wood ashes at the rate of 400 bushels to the acre, after the fruit had formed and cracked. Many of them healed up and made - perfect fruit the same season, oth ers not until the next 'season. A friend, at my suggestion, applied it heavily to a 411vorite Butter pear tree in his own gar den for several years in succession, and has had for several years perfect and de licons pears, and I will guarantee it to cure any case, where the ashes are fairly and abundantly upplied. I was told by an experienced hand that I would kill the trees but on the contrary I cured them.. Therefore do not be afraid ; if one application will not snfice, give them a larger dose next year. A moist atmos phere undoubtedly encourages the growth of the tree and fruit, while the insuffi ciency of proper food prevents the per fection of either : hence, cracked fruit and "rough, old bark." Agricultural Experience. _o._ Dr. E. M. Pendleton, Professor of. Ag riculture in the Georgia Agricultural Col lege, in a recent elaborate report concern ing the results of experimental farming, epitomizes some valuaole information as follows: That the application of soluble ma nures in a liquid form is better and more efficient than when applied in the dry state. That lime will pay on soils abotind ---ing in organtic matter; on other soils its applicationsc is of doubtful utility. rnAt subsoils do not ger:l:aunt. stele, or grow plants, like surface soils. That early planted cotton will not pros duce as much as that planted later when the ground becomes warm, rip orous and healthy. That subsoiling cotton lands will pay for the extra labor on clay soils. That one stalk in the hill will produce" more cotton than two or more stalks. Worth knotting. _o_ Dr. Glass, living near Granby, who is clearing up a new farm, has been troub led with a large number of big oak stumps. He had heard that salt-petre was good for stumps. Accordingly, about . a couple of months ago he sprink led on the top of each stump about a tablespoonful of pulverized saltpertre.— A few days ago he set fire to these stomps and says they commenced and continued to burn until`every stump was totally consumed, roots and all, so that he watt able -to plow without the lean 'difficulty over the ground formerly occupied by these large stumps. He says some of the stomps burned four or five days. Far mers, try the the doctor's remedy ; he says it will not fail. The doctor also says that if your cabbage plants are troubled with little black bugs you can save every one of, them by sprinkling them lightly with cayenne peper. Use an ordmary table peper box. This is dead shot.— Granby (Mo.) Miner. Oatmeal Gruel.—Mis a desert spoonful of fine oatmeal or patent groats with two tablespoonfuls of cold water and boil for ten minutes,stirring frequently. For a richer gruel, boil two ;tablespoonfuls of groats in a quart of water for an hour.— Strain through a sieve; stir in a piece of butter large as a walnut and some sugar, nutmeg or ginger. Brown Bread.—For a medium sized loaf, take five cups of rye meal, one and two-thirds cups of Indian meal, one cup of molasses, one-half cup of lively yeast, mix with warm water until it is soft enough not to stick to the hand. Pat it into a pretty hot oven, let it get nicely browned on top, then cover closely, and bake slowly for nearly two hours. Onions—To raise onion sets success fully you must have poor land and then sow the seeds very thickly. Sow in spring as soon as the ground is in a suit able condition to work easily, and pull the sets when they ripen off in July or August. Ripe, small bulbs will keep as well as those of large size, only ?loch them in a dry, 65 - ol place. Elderberry luk.—Take one-half gallon of elderberry juice, an ounce of copperas two drachms of alum, and twenty dror ol creosote dissolved in a small quar°' alcohol.

A Puzzled Darkey. —o— Not a hundred miles from Crestline, a colored American citizen keeps a stand for the sale of newspapers, nip's, apples, and other knick knacks. Thither one day went a burly engineer, given some what to practical joking, and aslOd for a nickle's worth of peanuts. The elong ated edibles were immediately measured and handed over: "Dena dey are, ear I" "Let mo see," said the engineer, thoughtfully, don't believe I want these after all. Take 'em back and give me a cnple ofapples in the place of then." 'All right, sah I" and the exchange was made in a twinkle. The engineer still hesitated, fumbling the apples in an undecided manner. Finally— " Darn my buttons, I dont believe I want these either. I'll trade 'em to you for a cigar." The dicker was made without object ion, and the engineer, after leisurly light ing his cheroot, turned away. "Hol' on, dar l you don gon and forgot to pay for that cigar." • " Certainly I paid for it. I gave you the apples for it." "But you didn't pay for the apples." "Why, yea, I gave yon the peanuts for them." "Ton didn't pay for the nuts." "Well I didn't keep 'em, did I?" "Da' so I fo' God, da'.so I" and while the puzzled darkey was scraching his wool the engineer made his escape. Be fore turning the corner he glanced back and beheld the darkey with bent head in ruminating attitude, evidently satisfied that as a commercial transaction it was all straight, but wondering where he had made anything out of the dicker. An enterprising superintendent of one of the Sunday-schools at St. Albans,Ver moat, was engaged on Sunday in cate chizing the scholars, varying the usual form by beginning at the end of the cate chism. After asking what were the pre requisites of the holy communion and confirmation, and receiving satisfactory replies, he asked, "And now, boys, tell me what must precede baptism ?" Whereupon a lively urchin shouted out, "A baby, sir." A tall Yankee standing six feet three inches in his stockings, was sudden tly seized with symptoms of fever. Having a violent pain in his head, his wife to af ford relief, was about to apply draughts to his feet when he asked: "What are yon putting them on my feet for ?" Why says she, "to try and draw the pain out of your head." "The deuce !" says he; "I would rather it would stay where it is than to be drawn the whole length of me !" It is told of a man poorly dressed, that he went to church seeking an opportuni ty to worship. The usher did not notice him but seated several well dressed per sons who presented themselves, when finally the man addressed the usher say ing: "Can you tell me whose church this is ?" "Yes, this is Christ's church." "Is he in ?" was the nest question, after whinh a sag was not an hard to find. "Miss A., what is your opinion of the weather ? I think it intends to clear. Do you agree with me ?" "I do indeed ; and wish some folks would follow the weather's example, and clear too." Mr. B. seized his hat and has not been seen in that street since. Oh, Pa, Mr. Smith was here this morn ing, and when ma told him that you would not be home till late, he said her lips were just like honey, and be wished he was a bee, and then he kissed her.— They gave me a stick of candy not to tell any one, but I don't think they'd mind. you, you're so well acquainted with me. "Faint heart never won fair lady" may be true, but7hen yQpr girl's father wears a number twelve, with a Scotch sole, and takes particular care to show yon hie dog kennel and armory, and yon feel your knee's giving away, your teeth begin to chatter, and your eyes roll to, then, in such inshinces, the saying is not applica ble. • That Irishman had a correct apr2recia bon of the business, who, beinr. asked by the Judge, when he applied for license to sell whisky, if he was of good moral character, replied : yer honor,l don't see the necessity 61 a good moral character to sell whisky !" A raw countryman, gazing at a garden in the vicinity of Boston, in which were several marble statues, exclaimed: "Just see what a waste !

A Cleveland youth of rather fast pro clivities, fell in love with a parsons daughter, and, as a clincher to his claims said to the reverend gentleman "I go my bottom dollar on piousness, and I will pray you for stamps on the spot." "Deserted by all except his aged bob. tailed dog, his life went slowly out as the shadows of the setting son crept over the front steep of Darling's grocery," is the way they express themselves in Georgia.

J. n alkel s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal pro perties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, " What is the canes of the unparalleled success of VINTAAH Brr ress?" Oar answer is, that they remove the muse of disease, and the patient recov ers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator_ and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been coruponnded possessing the remarkable qualities of VINLOAR Brrrrits in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or In flammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. If men will enjoy good health, let them use VINEGAR BrrrEns as a medicine, and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants in every form. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vmsoka Brrrims the most wonderful Imigoraut that ever sustained the sinking system. Bilious, Remittent, and Intermit tent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mis sissippi Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Bra zos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,Roanokr,Jarnes,and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and An turan. and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness. are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera.

Dyspepsia or Indigestion , ohs, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bil ious Attacks, Palpitation of the Ileart,lnflam• motion of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.

Lionel Diseases, WALKER'S VECEGAS Bursas have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable c-,ses. For Inflammatory anii Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these Bitters hove no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en, gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALSEIn3 VLs- EGAD. Brrrans occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pus. tales, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Ringworms, Discolin-aborts of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short tune b Alm use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other ) orms, lark ing in the system of so mang-thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No sys tem of medicine, no vermifuges, no anther minitics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wom anhood or the turn of life, these Tonic, Bit ters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Jaundice.—ln 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 re• movaL For this purpose use VLSECIAII B/T. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever you find its impurities bursting through .he skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is imil; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. (OF ALL I{Di-DS,) 11. U. 111cDONA1.73 & CO., DrOggiats and 13,1, na Agents. Ban Francisco, Cialforni; azd cor.
