FARM, GARDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD. Prr. ct'c-nl Hints for I lie Fnrma The whole grans question, anil a great many othor questions, nre tmmmnd up in the aphorism put in the mouth of an old farmer: No grnss, no cattle ; no cattle, no manure ; no manure, no crops ; no crops, no furmcrs j no farmers, no noth ing. A correspondent of the Jvaniaa Farm r r says a large hog breeder in Illinois in forms him that ho lias produced eleven pounds of pork from a bushel of corn, and seventeen pounds from a bushel of wheat. He grinds tho wheat, pours boiling water over it nud allows it to stand Borne hours. J. N. Sturtevant gave a whole lecture in a few words when ho said: A mowing machine is an extravagance for him who is sparing of oil, or doos not keep the nuts tight. The scythe is more economi cal, lint when a man has a tit training to manage the mower the value of it is very great. So when persons adopt an intelligent way of keeping cattle, they will bo appreciative of thorough bred cattle, and they will be profitable to them, when not purchased at too high a price. There is n great difference of opinion as to the value of tan as a mulch. A re cent writer cites several instances in which upon fruits and vegetables its effects were disastrous. Several market gardeners near Paris lost all their winter lettuce by covering the beds with tan. Auy ill result must be duo to tho fact that tho bark was not thoroughly ex hausted. When tho soluble matter is all extracted from it the effect of tho tan can only be a mechanical one. Where there are such different experiences it will be Bafe to expose the ton to the action of rains some months before using it. In selecting buds for propagating the peach, I would not give much preference to single, double, or triple buds, believ ing that the single buds start the soonest in the spring, the double buds the surest. And in budding from yearly trees there is not much but single buds, unless we use very large buds. I prefer to have bud-sticks just a little smaller than the stocks, without regard to whether the buds be single or otherwise. In propa gating from bearing trees I find it best to us e triplicate buds, as then there is al ways wood as well as fruit buds. For a budder that can tell fruit and wood buds apart it will make no practical difference, so far as my observations ex tend. Wherever organic matter abounds iu the soil a free use of bones and potash will speedily restore it to its original fer tility. Iu sandy soils organic matter iu the form of peat, muck, or leaf mold should bo combined with tho bones and potash. The finer the bones are ground the more speedy their action. If the bones are ground in a raw state, that is, without steaming or burning, and ground very fine and mixed with three times their weight of fine muck or peat or leaf mold, and kept moist for three weeks before being used, they will generate all the ammonia necessary to the rapid growth of wheat or other growing crops, without the addition of other sub stances. Vnlue of 1'lnNtcr. An Ohio farmer writes the Wcntrrn llural as follows: The past four sea sons have been very dry, as all in this part of the State will bear me witness; and a large part, probably two-thirds, of the clover seed sown in this vicinity dur ing that time has been lost. Iu the spring of 1873 I sowed one field of eight acres to oats, thoroughly harrowed one way, then sowed on clover seed and cross-harrowed the field. I then put on about three pecks of plaster to the acre, and tho result was a good yield of oats and a fine catch of clover, which grew finely throughout tho summer, and last season produced a large burden of num ber one clover hay. This I am now feed ing to my calves, for I prefer it to any other when properly cured; for calves should have the best. Tho saiuo week iu which I seeded the eight-acre lot I seeded one of four acres, and in precisely the samo manner, save that I sowed plaster on two of it. The other two acres went without plaster. Now for the result. Where the plaster was sown the clover grew as finely as in the eight acre lot, and produced as much hay last season, while on that without plaster the yield of oats was much lighter, and what clover seed sprouted, or nearly all, died from tho effects of the drought; so much so that it would not pay for har vesting. The soil wa3 sandy what we term here sand-knolls and poor at that. Apple OrclinrilM Deteriorating. An interesting paper on this subject was read before the Farmers' Club of Now York, by Dr. J. V. C. Smith, which excited much discussion among the mem bers present. The prevalent belief ap peared to be, however, that the condi tions of cultivating apple orchards had greatly changed in the past few' years, or rather within a generation, and that the greatest cause of the change was to be found in the thoughtless and wasteful destruction of forest trees which pro vided for orchards the necessary cli matic nourishment. The forests are justly termed the conservative forces in nature, in consequence of their power to harmonize extremes of temperature. They not only serve for a shelter from the cold winds, but they maintain the humidity of the atmosphere, and equal ize tho temperature so as to suit the de mands of vegetation. Cultivators of all kinds of fruits, as well as of vegetables, will in due time consider the importance of a fact which has so long been neglect ed at a risk not now to bo estimated.

Self-Guldaoca. It is the assertion of a scientific paper Jhat self-guidance is the first condition of a reasonable, improvable being. Children should learn at school how to study alone to discover for themselves what they wish to know.

An Article to be Rend Carefully by Every One. : Cold manifests itself differently in dif ferent people. In some it produces fever and pain in the limbs, in others catarrh, in still others sore throats. Whatever part of the system is weakest will be at tacked by the cold. A large proportion of cases of deafness comos from negloctod sore throat. This is because of the intimate connection be tween the throat and the ear by means of tho eustachian tube. Hence the impor tance of keeping the throat in a healthful condition. The tendencies of sore throat are to the worse and not to tho better; hence auy affection of this part of the body should receive prompt attention. In caso of ordinary sore throat, the sim plest and best treatment is the wet pack, using a liuou cloth wrung from cold water, and over this a knit or crotcheted yarn band, four feet long and four inches wide. Apply this two or tlrree nights in succe sion, unless it is a very serious case, when the pack should be kept on during the day. If taken off in the morning, wash the throat in very cold water, rub dry with a coarse towel aud with the hand. This will prevent taking more cold. Mucous membranes have tlrree kinds of inflammation catarrhal, croupous, and diphtheritic. Everybody knows how the first appears; in the croupous a liquid is poured out which collects on the outer surface of the mucous coat, and forms a membrane which can be peeled off or removed without injury to the mucous coat beneath it. In the diphtheritic the liquid poured out infiltrates itself into the mucous membrane, aud if forcibly removod leaves the mucous coat raw and sore. Diphtheria is blood poison. The patient complains of feeling stupid; the angle of the throat swells; there is likely to be more or lest na"al catarrh; there appear in the throat patches looking like dirty wash-leather,- which, being re moved, leave a raw spot; the odor of this exudation is offensive, but the disease is not usually contagious unless the exuda tion comes in contact with the mucous membrane of another individual. Hence the greatest care should be taken that no towel or drinking vessel or spoon used by the patient tt uohes the lips of any other person. Croup is inflammation of the larynx and usually attacks the patient suddenly in the night. The membrane is formed in tho larynx, is white, and extends each way up and down. In diph theria it forms in the throat and extends downward. The food of a patient suffering from diphtheria cannot be too nutritious and stimulating. All physicians agree in this. There is nothing better for the patient than beef tea, made by putting a pound or two of tenderloin into a glass can, or bottle, sealing it tightly and im mersing in water, gradually raised to the boiling point, and kept there until the juices of the meat are extracted. Give as much of this as the patient will take. Uld sherry is also prescribed as a stimu, lant by the most devoted adherents to temperance principles. A California Jury. They have peculiar jurymen in San Francisco. In January a Chinaman named Wah Ah Toong was convicted of murder. Recently, when a motion for a new trial was being argued, one of the jurymen made an affidavit to disorderly conduct in the jury room, in which oc curs the following development : When they returned to the jury room, one of the jurors produced a bottle of whisky and several packs of cards. The jurors played cards, some for money, all night, during which time there wa3 one bottle of whisky drank. Afterwards there was a bottle of liquor of some kind, which affiant took to be cocktails, introduced into the jury room and drank by the jurors during their deliberations upon the question of the guilt of the accused. During the night there were two or three bottles of liquor drank by the jurors. In playing cards crackers were used, with which several jurors seemed to be abundantly supplied, as a repre sentative of money. Money was also used by the players. During their de liberations alliaut was frequently insulted and threatened with personal violence. It went so far that at one time alliaut was compelled to call in the deputy sheriff for protection. Had ailiant fully understood the facts of the caso and tho date when the murder was committed, he never would have consented to the verdict. They Saw It. Some time since a vessel was cast upon the shore of Lake Michigan, and the captain and crew were threatened with death at any moment. Two horsemen were seeii riding along the shore and looking at the vessel. The captain in voluntarily gave the sign of distress pe culiar to a secret society, and it was answered by the strangers, who at once turned about and, at full speed, retraced their steps. In three hours a tug and life boat, manned entirely by members of the society, arrived, rescued the fam ished crew, and secured the vessel so that she was afterward removed with safety. N. B.

Twenty thousand people at Merthyr Tydvil autl Dowlais, in Wales, are now dependent for fuel upon the coal they can get out of the waste patches and croppinga on the mountains. A large number of men have left for Queensland.

The coal owners are determined to resist at all costs, even if the hands stand out until the summer. Six Millions. About two years ago, Dr. J.

It has boen supposed, says a Califor nia poper, that the Sierra sequoias, or big trees of California, were confined to a few small and isolated groves like those known to tourists by the name of Calaveras, Tuolumne, Merced, and Mari posa, scattered at considerable intervals along the western slope of tho moun tains for a distance of sixty miles. It was known that a collection of big trees larger than any of those iu the Mari posa and Calaveras regions exists in Fresno county, where Thomas' mill has for several years been sawing this red wood of the Sierra to supply the mar ket of Visalia, but it was discovered last summer that this body of big-tree tim ber is not properly a grovo, but a forest extending for not less than seventy miles in a northwest and southeastward direc tion, with a width in some places of ten miles, and interrupted only ly the deep canyons which cut across the general course of the forest, and reduce the level to au elevation below that at which the tree is found in a wild condition, al though when cultivated it thrives in all our valleys. Different persons have traced the forest from the basin of the Tule river; iu latitude thirty-six deg. and twenty min., across those of the Kaweah and Kings to that of San the Joaquin. The elevation has not been carefully mea sured, but is supposed to vary from 4,000 to C, 000 feet. At one point, and one only, this forest is accessible by a wagon rea l, and this is at Thomas' mill, forty-eight miles from Visalia. Unlike the groves further north, this forest consists mainly and in some places al most exclusively of the big trees, and there are also a multitude of small ones in all the ages of growth, some just sprouting, and others saplings only two or three feet through. The largest standing tree as yet measured is forty feet in diameter; a charred stump the tree itself having disappeared mea sures forty-one feet across. A tree twenty-four feet iu diameter four feet above the ground, is precisely the same thickness sixty feet higher. A fallen trunk is holiow throughout, and the hole is large enough to drive a horse and buggy seventy-two feet in it as in a tunnel. .This forest is so extensive, the timber is so abundant and excellent in quality, and the demand for it is so great in the bare valley at the foot of the mountain, that it cannot be withheld from the axe and the sawmill. The wood i3 similar iu general character to the Coast sequoia, or common red wood, straight in srrain. splitting freely, even enough in grain for furniture, and far superior to oak in its keeping qualities in positions ex posed to alterations of moisture.
