Per forate the bottom of a wooden box with a number of small holes ; place inside a piece of flannel covered with coarsely-powdered charcoal, over this coarse river sand, and on this small pieces of sandstone. Stacking Corn Fodder. Considerable care is required to stack corn fodder in such a manner as to pre vent waste. It requires not only to be put up so that it is safefrom the weath er and the ravages of vermin, but that a part may be taken down for use with out exposing the remainder to damage. In the ordinary stack the fodder is taken from the top, and when a part is removed for use the rest of the stack is left without covering. A stack built upon the ground immediately becomes the prey of innumerable rats and mice, by which it is not only cut up and de stroyed to a large extent, but what is not directly destroyed is so soiled as to become almost unfit for use. Now that the value of tho corn fodder is becom ing more widely recognized, means are to be taken to preserve it more effectu ally. In very rare cases is there room beneath the barn roof for it, and it is necessarily stacked out. A long stack built iu sections, which will contain the whole supply, is prefer able to any other plan. It may be built along the north side of the barn yard, or any other exposed side, and may be made to serve as a valuable shelter. By setting posts in the ground and placing beams or poles upon them with a loose flooring of rails as a foundation, the double purpose may be served. The open bottom giving free access for air will tend to ventilate the stack, and if an opening be made, either by placing a few rails fastened together in the cen tre, or by placing the bundles a few inches apart in the centre, there will be no danger of the corn becoming mouldy. The posts should be dressed smoothly, so that vermin cannot mount them, and if they do succeed in gaining a tempor ary occupation, it will soon be termina ted if a cut is allowed to range around the premises. The stack is to be built so that the bundles of fodder do not bind length ways, and that it may be opened at one end and taken down piecemeal, as, in deed, it is put up. Each day's supply may bo thrown down, and no part of the stack can bo exposed long enough to become injured. Thought! on Thrashing. If there are COO bushels of grain to be thrashed, it will pay a farmer to own a machine But if the farmer cannot pos sess a machine and must hire the thrashing done, there are a few things which be should consider. If this job is to be done, it were well that it were done quickly. The sooner it is out of the way now the better. The straw should be carefully stacked that it may be used with economy as litter. When thoroughly soaked and intermingled with the droppings of the cattle it soon rote and becomes available as manure. Otherwise it will resist decomposition for many months or years. The refuse grain from the screens should be care fully gathered, boiled, and fed to hogs or poultry, that the weed seeds among it may be destroyed. Many pestiferous weeds are spread over a farm by neg lect of this precaution. Before the grain is stored in the gran ary the bins should be carefully swept out and all the rubbish burned. There will probably be many weevil among it. The walls should then be washed in boiling hot lime wash, especially the cracks and crevices, which should re ceive extra attention. Finally,it should be remembered that as soon as grain is thrashed it begins to shrink in weight and substance, and if withheld from market for higher prices, an advance of 25 per cent, would not be more than an equivalent for the shrinkage and waste. If this advance is gained things are simply even, but if not, the holder gains just so great a loss. Strauge Cattle Disease. A cattle disease, of so disagreeable a nnfiirn flint, it causes the animals affected by it to commit suicide, has broken out on the Asiatio shore of the Bos phorous, and has been officially report ed at Constantinople. It is character ized by frothing at the mouth, running from the eyes and nose, a total loss of appetite, great heat, and a thirst so in supportable that some of the beasts at tacked by the illness cast themselves headlong into adjacent rivers and streams, and are drowned. The dis ease has been in existence for upwards of a month in several villages of the up per Bosphorus and Soutaril. It at tacks IrullockB and cows exclusively. Christmas 1878. Another twelvemonth has rolled around and again Christmas comes Duraenea witn its holiday goods, ex changing the compliments of the seiv son with its thousands of friends. It seems but yesterday that, under the holly, we clasped hands in the evening of '72 '73. What was then the unknown futuro is now the known past. Like n panorama it has slowly, yet how swiftly, beed unfolded to us, and, though now hidden from sight, our good and bad deeds alike are indelibly engraven upon it and visible ever when memory calls. To how many is the canvas bright ? and to how mony is it darkened by pictures they would give half their lives to ef face ? But as it is it must stand, and, bright or dark, the lessons it teaches are those set by ourselves, and for their result we are solely responsible. We shall soon begin another work. The surface to-dny is clear and white as snow. Let us determine what we shall put upon it. To all of us, whatever our condition, the Christmas season must bring some joy. It is difficult to conceive of a spirit so clouded that none of the Christmas sunshine reaches it. The bright rays make their way into the obscurest alleys. It may be that they are warmer in the mansions of the rich, but are not the remembrances they awaken fraught with joy even in the hovels of the poor ? The duty of those to whom fortune has been kind toward those it hns passed by unno ticedis more than ever pressing now. There is no place for the uncharitable in the Christmas season. If the morn ing breaks upon us blessed with happy homes, we know that it breaks upon thousands who have not where to lay theirheads. If we remember Him whose birth these hours commemorate we shall not forget our dnty or uistake the path it points out. If we are just to those in our immediate employ, kind to suffering we already know of, we shall not fail to make onr Christmas an hun dred fold more joyous than, if wrap ping our mantles around us, we shut our doors, our hearts, our purses, against all. Will Not Give Her Up. Captain-General Jovellar, of Cuba, telegraphed to the Madrid Govern ment a dispatch showing the state of feeling on the islnud relative to the surrender of the Virginius : The Madrid Government peremp torily orders the Captnin-Genernl to de liver up the Virginius. Gen. Jovellar resigns his position, and demands that another person be sent to take his place who can carry out tho orders of the Government, considering the exalt ed state of public opinion, and the im possibility of overcoming the difficul ties. Gen. Jovellar submits that a manifest was prepared for delay, during which opportunity would be given for reflection, and time given to allay the fiery patriotic spirit of the great nation al partv in Cuba. But the strong orders from Madrid, immediately to be exe ented, deprive him of this resource, through which he hoped to save the upholding of the authority and the in terests of the country. In order that the Madrid Government may comprehend the difficulties of the situation, and do justice to the ardor and perseverance with which he began his labors, which had already begun to produce fruit, the Captain-Gpneral de scribes the situation iu the island. He declares that the impression produced by the news of the arrangement which has been completed between Spain anh the United States can be compared wml that produced iu Spain by the treaty of Bavonne. which led to the war of in dependence against Napoleon. He begs to assure the Government that the immediate delivery of the Virginius will instantaeously cause a frightful commotion throughout the island, which would be sure to result in successive catastrophes, even if a man of the high est ability should be in command here. Sheep In Australia. Sheep are seldom kept in inclosed fields in Northern California, but run at large in the mountain ranges, winter and summer, guarded by a shepherd, to protect them from the coyotes. Every night they are driven in and placed within a strong wattled or brush wood corral, situated hard by the shep herd's hut for security. A man re ceives twenty-five or thirty dollars a month, in coin, for herding, and he can manage a flock of two thousaud alone, except in the lambing season, when he requires an assistant. Lambs are gen erally shorn in the fall, then again in the spring ; after that only once a year. The wool is sold unwashed ; and this fact, together with the outrageous frauds practiced by some growers, who pack stones and dung in the fleece, keeps California wool at a lower figure in the Boston market than any other ; lower even than Texas or Colo rado wool. Growers who can command wheat-fields generally put their yearling wethers into them after harvest, "stub ble" them until fall, then drive them to the shambles, when they have been eighteen months on the hoof, in which time a sheep will do about the best that is in him. Female Clerks. In tho " Prudential " insurance office, London, the experiment of employing female clerks has been tried with com plete success. Beginning with ten, the number has increased to thirty-six, and more are to be added. Tho apartments in which they are occupied are apart from those of the male clerks. They are ladies of education and good fam ilies, being exclusively the daughters of professional men, and their ages vary from eighteen to thirty-five. They reach the office at 10 a. si., stop work for an hour at 1 p. m., and leave at 5 p. m. Several holidays in the year are al lowed. The work is chiefly a simple kind of copying, requiring attention, good handwriting, and intelligence. The salaries are not very large, begin ning at S150 per annum, and raised $50 each year up to 8300. A lady superin tendent has exclusive supervision of the department, and their work is as well done as that of the male clerks. A Covington girl lent her shawl to an iuvalid gentleman riding in a stage,and when he handed it back to her there was a 500 greenback pinned to the snawl. Perry Davis's Pain-Killer, intrc- trodaced over thirty years ago, has enjoyed a world vide celebrity, and so familiar to all our readers that it seems hardly necessary to call their attention to It. Vet in these days of patent medicines, it may be well to remind the reader that a remedy that has worked its way into every family by its own merits is safer and more reliable than that one that has yet to be tested.

Many persons suffer with heart disease without knowing it suddenly they drop off, and their friends are astonished, on a post mortem examination, to learn that they died of heart disease. The heart, like the brain, is the seat of life its diseases are of several characters. The most common are valvular diseases, fatty de generation, and functional derange ment. If the liver becomes deranged, and digestion is impaired, the heart, mrougii sympauiy anu Juxtaposition, becomes abnormal.

A Representative and Champion of Ameri can Taste, NOT FOR SALE in BOOK or NEWS STORES, THE ALDINE, while issued With all the reg ularity, has none of the temporary or time ly intorost characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light and graceful literature ; and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artlatio skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, tbe real value aud beauty of The Aldink will be most appreciated after it has been bound up at the clone of the year. While othor publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, Thk Aldink is a unique and original conception alone and tin approached absolutely without competition hi price or character.

ART DEPARTMENT, 1874. The illustrations of Tns Ai.dixe have won a world-wide reputation, and in the art centres of Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood cuts are examples of the highest perfection over attained. The common prejudice in favor of " steel plates," is rapidly yielding to a more educated and discriminating tasto which recog nizos the advantages of superior artistio quality with greater facility of production. The wood outs of The Aldink possess all the delicacy and elaborate finish of the most costly steel plate, while they afford a bettor rendering of the artist's original. To fully realize tho wonderful work wliich The Aldine is doing for the cause of art cul ture in America, it is only necessary to consider tho cost to tho people of any docont represen tations of the productions of great painters. In addition to designs by the members of the National Academy, and other noted American artists, Tde Aldine will reproduce examples oi the best foreign masters, selected with a view to the highest artistic success and greatest general interest. Thus tho subscriber to The Aldine will, at a trifling cost, enjoy in his own home tho pleasures and refining influences of true art. The quarterly tinted plates for 1S74 will be by Thos. Morau and J. D. Woodward. The ChriBtmas isBUO for 1874 will contain special designs appropriate to tho season by our best artists, and will surpass in attractions any of its predecessors. PREMIUM for 1874. Every subscriber to Tbe Aldine for the year 1874 will receive a pair of cbromos. The origi nal pictures were pain tod in oil for the pub lishers of The Aldink, by Thomas Moran,whose great Colorado picture was purchased by Con gress for ten thousand dollars. Tho subjects were chosen to represent ' Tho East" and "The West." One is a view iu The White Mountains, New Hampshire ; the other gives Tbe Cliffs of Green Kiver, Wyoming Territory. The difference in the nature of the soeues themselves is a pleasing contrast, and affords a good display of the artist's scope aud coloring. The cbromos are each worked from thirty dis tinct plates, and are in size (12x16) and ap pearance exact fac-Bimiles of the origiuals. The presentation of a worthy examplo of America's greatest landscapo painter to the subscribers of Tue Aldine was a bold but pe culiarly happy idea, and its successful realiza tion is attested by tho following testimonial, over the signature of Mr. Moran himself.

Walker's California Yin Pgar Bitterg are a purely Vegetable preparation, maie chiefly from tbe na tive herb") found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. Tho question Is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of tho unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit. tersI" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, nnd the patioat ro covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before is history of tho world has a medicine bcon compounded poRsossing tho ronmrknljla qualities of Tinkoar Bitters in hcaline tue Eiok of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purojativo as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation o! tho Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker's Vinbqar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretio, Sedative, Countor-Irritaut. Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-Bilious Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr egar Bitters the most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained tho sinking system. 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 moaus, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter mittent 1 evers, wliich are so preva lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Graudo, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autarrm, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stom.ich and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar BiTTEitrJ, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid natter with which the bowels are loaded, at tho same timo stimulating the secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the hody asrninst disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. Xo epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head 'ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Soivr Eructations of tbe Stomach, Bad Tasto iu the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. Ono bottle will prove a better guaranteo of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, L leers, Erysipelas, Swelled Keck, Goitre, Scrofulous Iiiflaimnutimis, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial A flections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in nil other const itutional Dis eases, Wai,kkr's VixROAit Bitteks have shown th?ii great curative, powers in tho most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Uout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver. Kklnevs and Bladder, these Bitters have no eii'.tal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanic;; 1 Diseases. --rersons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as l'luuibers, Type-setters, liohl-btiiters, and Miners, as they advance in lite, ure subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard against tliis, take n dose of Walker's Vin egar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases," Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-head, Sure Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Diseolorations of the' Skin, Humors aud Dise'ases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and earned out of the system in a'ehort lime by the uso of these Bitters. Fin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the svstom of so muny thousands, are effectually destroyed und removed. Ko svstem of medicine, no vermifuges, no an tliclminitlcs will free the system liom worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or singlo, at tho dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonics Hitters display so decided an influenco that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when- over you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Soros; cleanse it when you laid it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feoliugs will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. it. h. mdoald & t o., DrufTpists nnd (in. Arts., Snn Francisco, California, and cor. of Wustiiniriun and Charlton Hta., N. Y.
