Raising Rammer Calves.
The Record and Farmer nays s The
hot months of summer are the worst of
the whole year fc r young calves, partly
because of the unavoidable heat, and
partly because they have not suitable
rjuarters at that season. The heat
itself, under favorable oircumstanCGB,
is sufficiently prostrating ; but when
the poor little things are shut p in a
close, unventilatod stable, obliged to
stand and lie on wet straw or floors, if
not in manure and filth, there is no food
that will make them thrive. The dis
comfort, not to say suffering, which
they endure, neutralities the effect of
the food aud care (or want of care) they
have. A real thrifty calf cannot be had
unless it is comfortable and contented.
We like to see them lie down in a good
clean bed of straw, and draw a deep,
long breath as if it were a luxury after
taking their milk. They are then in
the right condition.bodily and mentally,
to grow. Sot only that, they will grow
in share. The muscle and the fat will
be placed where it should be, and the
brines will be symmetrically developed.
The same animals swo iting in a stink
ing stable, dreading to lie down in the
Wet and forced to stand in it, even
though they have liberal feed, will grow
leggy and coarse . boned, the back will
roach, the neck will drop, the rump
will slope, and the belly will sway. In
stead of a plump, shapely calf there
will be a lank, misshapen animal. After
care may correct and overcome to some
extent the bd results, but never fully.
Their quarters must be airy, cool, and
dry. A. shed open to the north or well
ahadod, with a floor of very dry earth,
and a yard free from mud, is as good a
plnoe as they usually get. At all events
they must be comfortable. Their feed
Bhould be regulur in quality, quantity,
and time. Good feed always pays best.
Excess is to be avoided. The " little
pull-backs tell on the growth, condi
tion, and future character of the calf.
One good calf is worth more than two
poor ones to sell and more thau half a
dozen poor ones to raise. Cattle coming
from good calves that have had their
good qualities developed by care and
feed, make a more economical and
protitable use of tho food they consume,
the young the.y produce are worth
more, and tneyare more readily mar
ketable p.'c more remunerative prices.

The other day Mary was ironing aud
asked fot a piece of sand -paper to rub
her irons on. I was astonished that I
never thought of that before ; it is so
nice, removes every bit of starch or
anything else aud makes them so
smooth. One girl taught me that old
corsets make the best stove cloths.
J u&t one half at a time is a convenient
size. The are ready made and much
better, when unfelded, to take hold of
anything with than a mado holder, and
much easier to wash. Just throw them
In with the brown towels, as many as
you happen to get during the week, and
they come out clean aud ready to use
again. Another girl pours hot water on
the blades only of steel knives, and
they wipe easily and do not need dry
ing. Anothor one told me that the bebt
way to keep hams and dried beef was
to pack it in dry salt. We have tried
a1 i "p-'veral Jears witn perfect success.
An old salt barrel is convenient. Set
it in some ccol, dry place ; put quite a
thick layer of salt in the bottom ; then
pack in the hams, using tho pieces of
dried beef, if you have any, for chink
ing ; cover with salt, then hams and
salt again, till the barrel is full. There
is not the least danger of insects if the
hams are smoked and the beef dried
and put away early, before the flies
come around ; and they are much nicer
to handle th.au when pnt up in ashes or
anything 0f that kind.
To Stop hs Ravage of Mollis.
Camphor will not stop the ravages of
moths in carpets after they have com
menced eatinsr. Then thev oav no re
gard to the presence of camphor, cedar
or tobacco. A good way to kill them is
o tuKe a coarse cra.-n towel and ring it
out of clean water. Spread it smoothly
on the carpet, then iron it diy with a
good hot iron, repeating the operation
on all suspected places, and those least
used. It does not injure the pile or
color ot tue carpet in the least ; it is
not necessary to press hard, heat aud
steam being the agents, and they do the
worn enectuaiiy on worms and eggs,
Then the camphor will doubtless pre
vent future depredations of the miller
ttdfr to Kill Grasshoppers.
Reports of Western railway trains
stopped by jrrasshoppers are apt to be
taken by Eastern people as samples of
Western humor rather than as state
ments of actual faot. Similar incre
dulity was manifested oh the other side
of the AtlAfctlo, a few days ago, when
telegram came from Algiers, telling
of the delay of a train from Oran, six
hours, from the same cause, namely,
the accumulation of grasshoppers on
the rails. But it was no joke. The
grasshoppers are as great a pest there
as they are in some parts of the Far
West, and just now they threaten the
ntter destruction of the 'growing crops
over considerable area.
Many plahu baVe been tried for their
suppression, the most successful, ao
oording to a circular of instruction
lately issued by General Ohaney to the
generals of division and prefect of Al
geria, being that employed in Cyprus.
By this plan the attack is made neither
on the eggs nor on tho ftilly developed
insect, as ptacticed elsewhere, but dur
ing the intermediate or wingless period
of their development, a stage begin
ning about a month after the eggs are
hatched, and lasting three or four
weeks, during which the "crickets"
wander about in compact masses and
are easily taken in V-elmped traps open
to the line of maroh. The sides of the
traps are made with strips of silk a
hundred yards long and two or thiee
feet wide tirrnly attached to poles set in
the ground. tflis bottom edges of these
walls of Biik are banked with earth so
that the crickets cannot crawl under
them, and the upper edges are Waxed
or bordered with oiled siik, which pre
vents thoir climbing over. As they
have no wings to escape With, they are
forced to mass themselves at the apex
of the system (as it is called) where
they tumble into a trench edged with
plates of zinc, which offers no foothold,
no t.hn.f. t.hnv nrn nfTunf unllv tmntiml
When the trench is full the insects are i W0Ha tl,B Jal,anC8e wel'8 victorious, and ueaily
covered with earth, and the system is
moved on to continue the work of des
truction elsewhere. Upwards of 7,000
cubic yards of grasshoppers were thus
destroyed iu Cyprus in a single season.
With the conversion of our Western
plains into farm lands it is becoming
more and more necessary to combat the
grasshopper plague on a grand scale.
Our farmers will do well to profit by
me experience ot tue iast.

Sheep Stories.
At the cattle yards in East Buffalo
there is an immense sheep house,
capable of holding twenty thousand
sheep. It is situated some distance
from the railroad, and is reached by a
somewhat circuitous route, through
various streets and avenues of the yard.
When cattle trains arrive in the night.
the pheep are unloaded and driven to
the house. Now this was somewhat
tronblesome, until the introduction of
"Billy," tha subject of this sketch.
liilly is a fine wether. He is not a Cots
wold, nor a Southdown, nor a Merino,
Indeed, I am afraid that his early pedi
gree was saciiy neglected. JJnt for all
that, he is a most intelligent sheep.
When the sheep are all unloaded.
Billy, with bell on his neck, is placed
at the head of the flock. He leads
them through the lone avenues to the
house and into the pens, and as the last
one enters the pen, Uilly slips out the
gate, ana returns to his own stall and
bule of hay. All this is done better
than it could be by several men.
The story of Billy " reminds us of
another Billy, who. on seeing his
shadow, through one of the large, plate
glass windows, of a city dry goods
store, stopped to give him a bunt, and
as lie went through the window, into
the salesroom of the astonished in
mates, he led every sheep behind him.

Asiatic Locusis,
The locust is an insect which,-in the
east, is often five or six inches long, and
of the thickness of a man's thumb. Its
head is shaped like that of a horse (Joel
n. 4). The month is large, and fur
nished with four incisive teeth, which
traverse each other like soissors. The
noise made by a flock of them in eat
ing, is compared by Joel (ii. 5) to the
crackling sound of fire anions: stubble.
and by modern travelers to the rattling
of hailstones. The prophetic writings
of the Old Testament aDouna with allu
sions to this insect, as one of God's
most dreadful scourges. All travelers
in the east speak of the ravages of this
insect as quite terrific The swarms are
often a mile in length, darkening the
air as they pass, and forming a layer of
several inohea when they settle on the
earth. Nothing can impede their march
they fill np the deepest trenohes, extin
guish fires, and climb walls. All ver
dure disappears, and the country looks

Detecting Adulteration In Flour.
The substances with which flour is
most frequently adulterated are: Plaster
of Paris, the dust of burned bones, pea
or bean meal, and potato flour. An
easy general mode of testing tho purity
of flour is to squeeze it in the hand.
The cohesivcuess of wheat flour is very
great, and consequently the lump so
squeezed in the hand will be a longer
time before it breaks and falls if of
wh eaten flour than if the flour be
adulterated. Plaster of Paris, dust of
burned bones and potato flour are ail
so much heavier than wheaten flour that
adulteration by them mny be easily de
tected.
A sack which will contain two hun
dred weight of wheat flour will hold
three of potato flour, so that should the
flour be adulterated with any umount
of potato flour it may be detected by
means ot its weight, should pea or
bean meal be mixed with the flour, it
may be detected, if in any considerable
quantity, by pouring boiling water
upon a cupful of the flour, or by toast
ing a piece of bread made of it, the
odor oi the pea or bean being sure to
rise while the meal or bread is hoi.
Adulteration by means of tho flour of
inferior grains is more difficult of de
tection, but may be ascertained by
pouring upon a spoonful of flour a little
pure spirits of hartshorn.
If the flour be wholly oi wheat, the
hartshorn will render it of a yellow
color, but if it be adulterated with
other corn, the hartshorn will turn it to
a pale brown, and if it be adulterated
with pea or bean flour, it will become a
darker brown. Adulteration by means
of potato flour may be detected by
means of acids. Take a spoonful and
pour upon it a little nitric acid ; if the
flour be of wheat, it will change to
an orange yellow ; if wholly of potato
flour, the color would not be altered,
but the flour formed into a tenacious
jelly ; if, therefore, the flour be
adulterated with potato flour, it will be
difficult to decide.
Agaiu, take a spoonful of the flour.
and pour upou it a little muriatio acid ;
if the flour be of pure wheat, it will be
changed to a deep violet color, without
odor ; but if potato flour be mixed in
it, it will then have an odor like that of
rushes.
One of the ew Cadets.
Hon. James B. Beck has appointed
to the United States Naval Academy, at
Annapolis, Hugh K. Ayres, of Frankfort,
Ey., of whom the following incident is
told : " Two years ago Hug'j, who was
then not quite thirteen yearn of age,
was crossing the bridge which connects
North and South Frankfort, with his
cousin, a youth two years older than
himself. Carpenters were at work re
pairing the bridge, and a plank near
the south end, between the abutment
and the first pier, was out of place in
the northern footway. The elder of
the two boys was in front, a little in ad
vance of Hugh, and not discovering the
aperture in the bridge, stepped into it,
and fell headlong into the river, forty
six feet below. The workmen, aud
several other persons who witnessed the
catastrophe, were paralyzed with alarm
at the occurrance, and took no Bteps to
the boy's rescue. But Hugh, without
hesitating an instant, ran with all speed
from the bridge, past the toll-house, to
a gate which led to the rear, and, thence
made his way to the brink of the river,
in which at a distance of twenty feet
from shore, his cousin was struggling,
having sunk twice. So dangerous did
any effort at resoue seem to those on
the bridge above, that the shouted to
Hugh not to go in, but without heeding
their remonstrances, he plunged into
the water, swam to the drowning boy,
and brought him safely to shore.

the Indian Outrages,
A letter from Dodge City, Kansas,
says : The Indians are very bad out
here and people are terror-stricken.
Up to this time nine hunters and four
other mou have been killed, soalped
and mutilated. One man was murdered
and scalped only six miles from town,
while on his return from a trip to Camp
3upply. After killing him they took
his stock. He leaves a wife and six
ohildren here. Their fiendish cruelly
has no bounds. A hunter by the name
of Dudley was onptared the other day.
They lied him to a wagon wheel, tore
out his finger and toenails one by one,
scalped him from ear to ear, cut his
hands off at the wrist, and then staked
him to the ground with picket pins
driven tiirough his breast. There were
eye-witnesses to this savage deed.
One of their boldest movements waB
au attack on the trading posts on the
Canadian. A band about 200 strong
attacked those places. One is a strong
tocitade and the other is made ot
eavy adobe walls. There wore only
eighteen men inside to do the fighting,
and the most of these hunters, who are
brave men and dead shots. Two whites
were killed outside the walls and one
inside. Eleven dead Indians were left
ou the ground. Desperate efforts were
made by the redskins to get their fallen
warriors away, but the hunters kept up
too deadly a nre on them and they had
to leave them where they lay. Doubt
less many of tho wounded they carried
away afterwards died. Before leaving
they killed all the stock outside of the
stockade.
It appears that the rise of the Indians
is a concerted matter among the various
tribes. Uoutiuued repoits of the mur
der of unfortunate t-ettles and their
families are made ull through the sec-
ions in the vicinitf of tho Indian reser
vations.

Smart-Weed, sometimes called Water Topper,
hut knowu hy. Botanists as J'olygonum I'unc
latum, is a woll-known, very common aud
modest little plant found growing in ditches,
low grounds, among ruumsn ana aDout nrooics
aud water-courses, flowering in August and
Septemhcr. In mauy sections of tlus country
it is a deservedly highly esteemed family reme
dy. The Indians also make great use of this
plant for the cure of various diseases. lint
neither the Indians nor the whites learned
one-tenth of the value of this moiled little
weed, as they had no method of extracting its
irtues witnout tlie application or neat, wiucu
destroys most of its properties, aud usually
made a tea from the dried herb, that had been
kept on hand for a long time until it had lost
most of its medical proportion. No educated
chemist haa ever tried to make an analysis of
the plant and produce au extract from it upon
scientific principles, by a cold process, until I.
having become convinced of the wondorful
medical virtues of this httlo weed, investigated
its properties and mado an extract from the
fresh herb, by a cold process using no heat
at but briugiug out its luices, oils ana
volatile properties complete and unimpaired.
If this remedy hag heretofore been valuabld,
when prepared iu the most crude manner,
from tlio long dried herb and by the applica
tion of heat, that destroyed so much of its
virtues, I reasoned that it must, when properly
prepared, by a cold process au-1 from the
rreslily dried herb, prove a wonderliuly eltica
cious aud potent remedy for human suffering.
Aud I can assure the peoplo, upon my honor,
as a professional man, that in its use, aince
thus preparing it, my most sanguine expecta
tions have been more than realized. I have
found it to contain medicinal properties which
steeping in water could not bring out at all, as
they are resinous principles. With my Ex
tract, containing all these medical properties
unimpaired, I have been eablod to produce
most astonishing remedial effects. Ity much
study, a largo experience iu prescribing this
and other medicines, and very close observa
tion, l nave been enabled to compound and
combine with the simplo Extract of Hmart-
vteea extracts or oilier medicinal norua ana
roots, that greatly improve its power and ue-
iumors, ooin as au internal ana external reme
dybesides they so flavor and modify it an to
remove its pungent, smarty tasto, and render
it n phjamut remedy for both adult, and chil
dren. The greatest difficulty that I experience
in tbe way of introducing this most valuable
remedy to the public is the fact that Smart
Weed is such a common aud unpretending
looking little herb that people are apt to think
that it cannot possess any great or valuable
medical properties. Had "I prepared my Ex
tract of Smart-Weed, put it np and labeled it
wun some groat name, ami told the people
that the herbs ot which it was comnosed were
collected in Africa by the Arabs, carried acrons
the Sahara Dexert "oa the backs of camels,
and brought acrot-g the Atlantio Ocean for my
special use, and that itg ingredients were
therefore very expensive. I have no doubt that
some would have been thereby inspired with
greater confidence in it. lint i prefer to deal
honestly with the people aud tell them that
the chief ingredient of my Compound Extract
is me modest nttle plant seen growing iy tne
roadside, in all parts of North Amorica, and
known aa Smart-Weed. I believe that God
hag caused to grow, in each climate and re
gion, those mediciiiaP plants best calculated
for the cure of the diseases that prevail in the
section of country where those plants are
found that " the leaves were for the healing
of the nations," and that the fewer far-fetched
remedies we employ the better, if we would
thoroughly investigate and understand those
we have at home. Ho far as Smart-Weed has
been employed by the medical profession, it
has won golden opinions, notwithstanding the
fact that heretofore thev have had only a very
imperfect preparation of it to use, owing to
heat beiitij always employed in extracting its
properties. A celebrated medical author says :
" A friend of ours had a child dangerously ill
wan Summer Complaint, lie bad employed a
great variety of the usual means for relief but
ail appeared unavailing. The child waa finally
given Smart-Weed and it was entirely success
ful. It arrested the vomiting and purging in a
short time, aud without the aid of other medi
cine entirely restored the little patient." As a
remedy for Dysentery (or Itloody Flux) I have
never Been my Extract of Smart-Weed equaled,
yet I have used all the most modern aud ap
proved medicines usually employed iu that
disease. The Smart-Meed in rendered still
more efficacious in all Bowel Complaints.
Cramps aud Pains in the stomach, bv reason of
the Jamaioa Ginger, whioh. with other valuable
ingredients, is compounded with the Smart
Weed in makiug my Extract hence the name
(Jompound Extract of Smart-Weed. The Gin
ger aud other ingredients not only add greatly
to the value of the Smart-Weed as a remedy
for internal administration and render it more
Sleasant to take by imparting an agreeable
avor to it, but alao auhinoa- its value aa an ex.
ternai application, in all eatei of Diarrhoea
