FARM, UARDEH AM) HOUSEHOLD. Farm Motet. Dark stables ari Injurious to the eyes of horses. No other animals should be tolerated in a yard with sheep, for it will only re sult in vexation and loss. A bag of hops as larpe as the two fists, placed in a bin or store of grain, will, it is said, kill or eradicate all grubs and in sects from the grain. The dead ones can be removed by fanning. Shelter is one of the first objects in wintering sheep successfully. Farmers often condemn barns and sheds as un healthy places for sheep, when it is a want of ventilation that does the injury. Milk paint for fences or barns is made by mixing water lime with skim milk to a proper consistency to apply with a brush. It will adhere well to wood whether smooth or roueh, to brick, mor tar or stone, where oil has been previ ously used. A farmer in Bangor, Me., observing that wheat was being picked from the seeds of standing grain, and seeing at the same time flocks of yellow birds flying about, shot some ol them. On opening their crops he found only three grains of wheat, and by actual count 350 weevils, Particular care should be used in cleaning milk pans nnd cans. Many cases are on record of diseases in fami lies from using milk infected with nox ious germs from foul milk cans. Milk men upon again receiving the cans should cleanse them with boiling ho water. Cattle like a change of diet occasion ally, as men do. Keeping cattle on hay or straw alone is a little like living on bread or potatoes, or meat alone, with nothing except that one dish. Therefore feed some roots, as well as hay and meal or shorts. If you haven't the roots on hand, be sure and have a supply next winter. Cabbage has a superior value for feed ing purposes. English cattle feeders as sert that their beasts progress faster on cabbage, mixed with plenty of tine-cut wheat straw nnd cotton cake, than with any other vegetable. Cabbage contains one part flesh-forming substance to three of heat producing, while in potatoes, the flesh-forming is only one to twenty. Cabbage is also rich in mineral matter How to Sweep a Room. To sweep and dust a room properly is an art, and like all line arts has a riglit method. Well done it renovates the entire room, and the occupant takes possession feeling that "all things have become new." It is not merely a per formance to be done by the hands, but a work into which taste and judgment, in other words, brains, must enter. Are these closets opening into the room to be swept? Arrange the shelves, draw ers or clothing preparatory to sweeping day; then let this be the first to be swept. Cover the bed witli soiled sheets, as also all heavy articles that cannot be removed; first, however, having carefully dusted and brushed them. Remove all the furniture that can easily be set in hull or adjoining room, having first dusted it; then, tak ing a step-ladder, begin to sweep or brush or wipe the cornice and picture cords and pictures. Draw the shades to the top of the window or, if there are inside blinds, dust them carefully. Open the windows. All the dust left in the room now is in thearpet or air, and the current of the windows will ocn settle it. Now begin to sweep, not toward a door or corner, but from the outer edges of the room toward the center, where the dust will be taken up with a small brush and dust-pan. Go over the room once more this time with a dampened broom; that removes the last bit of dust and gives the carpet a new, bright appearance. Replace the articles sf furniture as soon as the air is entirely free from dust, uncover the rest and the room is new and clean. All this seems an easy thing to do, but there is not one in a liund red will follow out the details. Some will sweep the dust into the hall, or from one room to another, and then wonder why their house is so soon dusty again. Others forget cor nice and pictures, and thus leave a seed of future annoyance ; while a third class will do all but using the damp broom, which is as the finishing touches to a picture. Chicago Alliance. 'Household II lull. Soft soap should be kept in a dry place in a cellar, nnd shou d not be used for three uionths after it is made. A Frenc h chemist asserts that if tea bo ground like coft'ee immediately be fore hot water is pouivd upon it, it will yield nearly double the amount of its exhilarating qualities. To preserve the nroma of cofl'ce, add the white of one egg to every pound of coflee just before it'is quite cola. Stir it thoroughly into the mass, eo that every berry will he wet with it. To clean lamp chimneys, hold' them over the nose of the teakettle when the kettle is boiling furiously. One or two 'repetitions of this process will rmike them beautifully clear. Of course they must be wiped upon a clean cloth. Table cloths should be but slightly starched, and folded lengthwise, alter ironing quite dry on the right side, firsjt down the middle, then putting each sel vage edge to the center, pressing them down on the right side; next placing the two double parts, thus folded, to gether, and then doubling the other way in the same manner. To wash a black and white cotton dress, have a tub partly filled with hot water, add one large tablespoonful of powdered borax; wet only one part of the dress ata time, the basque first; use very little soap, and only on the most soiled places; wash quickly, rinse in warm water containing a tablespoonful of table salt; starch on the wrong side, wring very dry. Bhake out well, hang where it will dry quickly; next wash the overskirt and then the under-skirt in the same way. Health Hints. Glycerine is excellent to rub on chafes burns or chapped hands or suA scalds. Olive or sweet oil mixed with warm milk and water, and drank plentiful un til it acts as an emetic, is an antidote to poisons in general. Law of Life says simple remedies are frequently the best tor headache. A cup of sou mi'k spread upon a thin cloth and applied to the head will many times give relief. Or, a mild mustard plaster on the back of the neck will often ease th. pain, or drinking a cup of hot writer. Temporary relief from a painful sore corn may, says an exchange, readily be obtained by applying strong carbolic acid . Take the cork out of a small bot tle of carbolic and apply it (the eork) to the corn. Relief will come at once, and you will be able to walk with compara tive comfortatill you can find time to remove the corn with a knife. How to Make Cow Give Milk. If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cow every day water slitrhtly warmed and slightly salted in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find if you have not tried this practice that your cow will give twenty live per cent, more milk immediately under the effecU of it ; and she will be come so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty. But this mess she will drink almost any time, and ask for more. The amount ot this drink necessary is an ordinary water pailful at a time, tnernina. noon and lht. An ATalanche of Teat. When the brief statement first ap peared, a few months aeo, that a town in the Falkland Islands had narrowly escaped destruction by a flood of peat, the story seemed incredible. Authen tic dctails.however, have lately reached England which leave no doubt ot the fact. The phenomenon is believed to be unprecedented, and has served to at tract the attention of men of science once more to the archipelago of treeless islands which Darwin explored nearly half a century ago, and which consti tute Great Britain's southernmost colo nial possessions. Tne Falkland group is situated some three hundred miles from the eastern coast of South America, opposite the entrance to the strait of Magellan. .Two of the islands, known as East and West Falkland, are much larger than the rest, nnd upon the east side of The for mer is Stanley, the chief town. There seems to be some influence in theelimate peculiarly favorable to the production of peat, for, says Mr. Dawin, ' almost every kind ot plant, even the coarse grass which covers the whole surface of the land, becomes converted into this substance : scarcely any sitmtion checks its growth; some of the beds are as niinh as twelve feet thick, and the lower art becomes so solid when dry that it win narniy Durn." thus, it will be un derstood, a peaty soil is characteristic of the whole country. Just back of the town of Stanley, and about 3,000 feet inland, rises a range ol heights which nre surmounted by a plateau, upon which rests a deep bog of peat. Curiously enough, the thickest deposits of peat in the Falklands occur on the hillsides or hilltops. In other places the peat seldom exceeds a few feet in depth. The subsoil is a dense yellow clay impenetrable by water, and in the Stanley bog already mentioned this is between twenty-four and thirty feet below the surface. On Nov. 26, 1878, a southeasterly storm of wind and rain set in at Stanley, and the rainfall from that time until mid night of the 30th is estimated to have been two fnches. Then the peatbog on the heights above the settlement gave way. "The black oozy mud," writes a naval oflicer to the royal geo graphical society, "rolled down the hill with a momentum which neither the iron stanchions around the reservoir nor the barrriers by the sea could withstand. It broke through the backs of wooden houses, inundated therooms.and obliged the inhabitants, rudely awakened from sleep, to flee for safety; a few pigs and calves were swallowed upUnthe irresist ible stream, but fortunately no human lives were lost." The velocity of tho stream was not noted at first, but in ihe morning, after its force was almost ex pended, it was still moving into the sea at the rate of about half a mile an hour. Dr. John Mulvany. staff surgeon in the British navy, was an eye-witness of the phenomenon, nnd attributes it to the action of the heavy fall of rain upon the peat. He estimates that over 500,000 gallons of water fell into the bog on the four days preceding the avalanche. The impermeable yellow clay under' neath would not permit it to sink through, and finally this enormous quan tity of water, mingling with the peat, burst the weakest side of the bog nnd rolled down the seaward slope of the heights above the town in the remark able torrent we have described. A Pet Dog's Fatal Bite. A recent dispatch from Wilmington, Pel., to a New York paper, says: Richard G. Alexander, a well-to-do citizen of Delaware City, was bitten by a dog supposed to be mad one day last month. As he was sitting in his door way, holding a pet dog in his lap, the animal sprang upon him and sank its fangs deep in his cheek and upper lip. It then dashed away through the neigh borhood, and before it was killed bit about twenty other dogs. Since he was bitten, Alexander hr.s been fearful of the hydrophobia, and took many different remedies. On Monday morning last he first felt what are believed to have been symptoms of the disease ; he complained ot a pin in the back and a palpitation of the heart, but attributed tliem both to torpidity of tho liver. On Thursday morning, when he went to wash, he found that he experienced an aversion to water that hecould notovercome. He ate a hearty breakfast, but could drink nothing, and stuutly maintained that nothing ailed him. His fortitude in re sisting the dread malady is character ized by the physicians as one of the most remarkable things they have met with in their practice. He refused to have a doctor called in until lie had a spasm, and when medical aid was finally called, he composed himself with great effort. The doctor at that time was not con vinced that Alexander had the hydro phobia, until he remarked that he felt that iie wanted to sneeze all the time and could not. The fangs of the dog had tor a the cartilage of the nose, nnd tha first symptoms of the disease in such cases is a morbid feeling in the wound. Soon after this the spasms became vio lent, and, to soothe the patient, strong opiates were presented, but he could not swallow. Toward evenine he became verv violent, hut after the smism hoam'A to be killed, and pleaded with those present to leave the roum, or he might unknowingly bite them. The spasms grew more pronounced and frequent, and finally it required the united force ol six men to hold luni. He died in great agony last night about eleven o'clock, just forty-five days after being first bitten. A general outbreak of hydrophobia is feared in the neighoor kood, as many dogs were bitten by the dog that caused Alexander s death, and not killed. History of Billiards. A New York paper says : Billiards are played so much in this country that the game is not unircquentiy mentioned as American, although its origin is either French or Italian it is uncertain winch. The game, however, was im ported into Britain from Franco, and was known to Englishmen by name as early as the sixteenth century, since Shakespeare speaks of it he seems to have been little less than omniscient in several of his dramas. He even portrays Cleopatra as amusing herself with bil Hards, but this is unquestionably one of the palpable anachronisms to which he appears to have been indifferent, and which he scattered throughout his plays. The game itself was, in all like lihood, medieval, but as played nowa days is comparatively modern. For two centuries it was played with only two (white) balls, and when the third (red) ball was imported into Britain. the red winning hazard, or holing of the red ball, was well-nigh the sole ob ject of the players. 1 he billiard-t&ble of toe present is as different as it well can be from the billiard-table of two hundred years ago, as persons know who have noticed their evolution as represented by the tables of divers eras The greatest billiardists are the Rus sians, bpaniards, irench and Amerl cans, who now play lar more than any other nation. The popularity of the game has increased greatly here within the last twenty years. It is said that there are six times as many tables in the country as there were at the begin ning of the civil war. Europeans sup pose that all Americans play billiards, irrespective oi sex, age or position.

A NEW ERA IN AtiRICl'LTl'RE. IloratloSeymonr on the Conflict Between American and European Agriculture! Ex-Governor Horatio Sevmonr nre. sided at the annual meeting of the New iora state Agricultural society, held In Alhany, and delivered an address on "The Conflict Between American nnd European Agriculture." The follow ing are the more interesting parts of his address: The immediate causes of our nrosnrr- ity have been the abundance of our crops and a failure in those of Europe. We cannot count upon these in our plans for the future. The next summer mav reverse the fact and Europe may pro duce an anunnancc, nnd we may lose from unfavorable influences upon our fields. Will they pass away with the year just closed, or has there been de veloped underlying conditions which have been gradually forming, nnd which are now to show themselves with great power ana in grnna proportions r This is, for us. tlio overshadowing Question of thorny, and it will lead us into m my inquiries and investigations before it is solved. I believe that our country has entered, upon a new era in its relation- ... , 1 1. t.' . . - irr i. t i t . PililJ Willi liUiufmi IT 1JIIU lb is inn. prun- ablo that our exports of food the next year will equal those of the past, still the channels of commerce which have been opened will not be closed, but will gradually grow wider and deeper. These will mnke permanent changes in our dealings wit ii mat continent. 1 his laet that .North America. With its vast extent of fertile vacant lands, now almost touches Europe with its over-crowded population, is one which excites the most varied .speculations wiin lejiiuu m uie resuim which must follow, bearing upon all phases of civi lization, polities and power. History tells of no event more striking or sigiiili- cant. i nere is now what properly may lie called a conflict, between our ngrieul- turc and theirs. During t he past year we have fairly "bombarded Europe with casks and barrels of animal nnd vegetable food." While these relieve famine, they also excite alarm in ninny quarters by their effects, not only upon their agriculture, hut upon social and political organizations. It has become a contest between American farmers nnd English landowners. IOt us com pare the power nml resources of the combatants. As the Canad:is are occu pied by a people speaking tho same lan guage and living under laws similar to our own, I include them in my terms when I sponk of our side in this compe tition. When I speak of our continent I do not include Mexico. The varietv of our farm products is a protection against disasters from .unfavorable sea sons, as some grains are helped by causes winch harm others. It an entire wheat crop should be cut oft', it would be a great loss, but it would make no hun ger here, for it amounts to only a quar ter of the products of Indian corn. We nave not only a greater variety ol the fruits of the earth, but our climate gives them to us in successions which add greatly to their value and the comfort ana enioyment ol our people. Uut it is not only in extent of territory, abund ance md variety of products that nature favors us. While in Europe short rivers and narrow valleys tell of fre quent ranges of high lands which hinder commerce, with us lakes and rivers hind our States together with silvtr links in ways that give us areadvand cheap exchange of all that we raise or make. e In ten years our numbers will bo about twice those of the united king dom. We have now 50,000,000. nnd less than the usual ratio of increase will give us 62,000,000 in 18'JO. Many who now live will see 100,000,000 of busy in habitants within our borders. The mingled European races have a vigor superior to any single lineage. We are forming what is not yet fully developed the American character. Those who study the influence of this intercourse upon the common grounds of our coun try, will be impressed with its mutual improvement of all minds and charac ters. Emigrants do not merely give us numbers, but alsV) wealth in a way un known elsewhere. The nionev thev bring with them amounts in the aggre gate to a largo sum. But this is unim portant in comparison with another lact. We have millions of acres of rich lands, which the government holds at a nominal price, or which it will give to actual settlers by our hemestead laws. While they are vacant they are of no value. When in the course of a few years a million of hardy emigrants, usually in the prime of life, land on our coast they may be without wealth. But the moment this multitude of poor rru'n and women plant themselves upon l lie millions of acres of land, of no pre vious value, the union of two kinds of poverty evolves, ns if by a chemical ac tion, enormous wealth. Mere occupa tions before a crop is raised give prices to the soil which make a vast amount of real wealth. This does not fall away as time goes on, but it grows each year In our new States, the wealth of our farmer does not merely come from the sum he gets for his products; but be yond this, tho land he took up for a homestead, or which lie bought for a trifle, gains a value which makes an es tate ranging from a few to many thou sand dollars in value. Wealth cannot grow in this way in Europe. It is this fict which gives our country its swift increase of wealth. Beyond extent of territory, variety of productions, facilities for intercourse ar.d growth of numbers, there is another advantage we enjoy. We cannot cor rectly scan the future unlciis we regard the political conditions of the two crn tinents. Let the lines between New York and Pennsylvania represent the hostile borders of France and Germany. How long could we endure this division of territory thus represented ; the bar riers to intercourse aggravated by dif ferences of language and laws, and the burdens of great armies, the evils of national hates and the curse of bloody wars P The boundaries to each of these divisions would limit, the spread of knowledge, and the progress of civiliza tion, and the growth of sympathies among mankind. Every industry would be disturbed and taxed by the cost of great armies. Their rulers would stand as they now do in Europe, armed against each other, as if they deemed their fel low monarchs robbers who watch their chance for plunder. In smaller countries farmers labor to meet the wants of those about them. They are confined to home markets, and they seek to raise the crops which will meet their limited needs. Their pursuits in such cases do not stir the minds or teach the wants and conditions of other regions and populations. The reverse of this is true with us. Our agriculture is shaping itaelf into grand departments, each covering extents greater than those ol most countries. These lead to improvements in their several pursuits, which cannot be de veloped when carried on a smaller scale. Each shapes the business, commerce and transportation of its region in wavs which cheapen production and the cost of reaching markets. This system im proves not only farming, but the farmers as well. The influences of these great departments of agriculture are not more striking in their results upon produc tion than they are upon the intelligence ot the producers, iiie active and wide spread intelligence thus generated by our departments for the production, and our methods for the saie of products, gives HMurance ot our ability to hold the ground we have gained In the market of the world. The intercourse and intelligence which grow out of these great departments of agriculture do not merely elevate our farmers and give us commercial success; they make the bonds which hold our Union in firm compact. Party passions inny threaten it; ambitious purposes may for a time stir up sectional prejudices; but since the late sad war the growth of agriculture, commerce nnd intercourse made a conservative, intelligent in fluence which will rebuke passions and purposes which threaten peace and har mony. It is plea-ant nnd assuring to know that nature in its forms and pur suits gives life and strength to our political Association, and inspires hope that our Union will have nature's en durance. If all the statements I have made nre correct, still the facts remain that the people of Europe have heretofore been able to raise most of the food they need. Why can they not hereafter, with tho same labor, on the same soil, raise enough to supply their wants, except for the small amount which they have heretofore imported? Why can wo ex pect, witli ordinary seasons, that we can sell them more than we have in past years; that, although we may raise grain ahd make provisions for less than they can, will not the effect of this be merely to reducothe nnce-which farm ers will get and ot the amount of food they will produce? These questions bring into view some facts of great in terest in many respects. In the first place, whero farmers own their lands ns they do with us, all they can get for what they sell goes to those who labor upon the soil. But ns a rule in Europe nnd particularly in Great Britian. what is made upon farms must support at least t wo and sometimes four classes of persons : the tenant, who does tho work, the landlords, and usually some agents or middlemen, who hire and sublet to tenants. Church rates and many ether charges must also be paid. When oui chap grains reach their markets, as they will lierealter, and govern the prices of produce, Ihey disturb the ex isting arrangements. The tenant must have enough to live upon then as now, taxes and tithes must be paid, nnd only what is left will go to the owners. This lass nre to suffer. If you read the de bates in parliament, you will seo that nnttcinpt is madoto excite sympathy for British farmers. But the parties who really are affected are British land lords. The conlliet is not between American and British farmers, but American and British landlords. If the cost of produce falls, rents must come down, for tenants can pay no more and landlords will get no more than prices will give. Tho tenants'share cannot bo less than it now is and the loss must fall upon the owner Beyond this diminution of the reve nues, there is a difficulty which affects the structure of political and social or ganizations. The nobility are land lords. As this rank is hereditary, it must be strengthened by hereditary es tates. Uur cheap and lerlile lands, and the low cost of sending out products to Jurope, may work great changes in the condition of the higher classes and tho tenures of real estate. The result proba bly will bo that the land owners will find that they must not only reduce their rents, but they mu3t also change the character of their farm products, and buy most of their grain and many ol the provisions iron us, and our markets in future wul be thus en larged. If they tax imported food they will break down their manufactures, destroy their home markets and bring disaster upon their country, lithe Continental nations tax food, in addition to military and other burdens, they will drive away their young ard active citizens and re duce their military strength. Mon archs will be safer from bullet3 when food is cheap and abundant. I have dwelt upon foreign mnrkets, ns they deeply concern us; bur. we must not overlook home transactions, which are still more important. The prosperity which agriculture has given to all other industries and pursuits will now reaet in its favor nnd make r.ew demands for its prodm ts. Nearby cities and towns make the best customers tor our farmers, They buy many things which will not bear long transportation, and which are Ireo from a widespread competition For this reason, in their vicinity lands bear the highest prices. Those lying near the city of Now York sell for sums far beyond those winch can be got for belter qualities in other quarters. For these reasons, tho farmers of New York are helped and not hurt by the currents of commerce from the West. These make the wealth and population of our cities. Bianufaotunng and mechanical industries built up by cheap bread make demands for vegetables, fruit, milk, but ter nnd other articles produced in tho immediate vicinity of these home mar kets. I know that some think that if it cost more to bring produce to us, if charges on canals and railroads were higher, our farms would be increased in value. This is a great error. They would turn nwayour commerce. Thev would tax not only the food of those en gaged in raised industries, but of more than two-thirds of our farmers. They would diminish the population of towns nnd cities, and thus drive away our best customers. Most of my ow n property is in farm and lands, nnd I have given much thought nnd study to this subject, inc great cities oi tho world are placed in a belt running round the earth, following a certain mean tern perature. As the climates of different latitudes vary, this belt follows tem perature whenever it sways to the north or south. There may be more fertile lands north or south of this belt but their cities are not as large or farms as valuable. The reasons for this that there is the most activity and wealth where there nre the most wants. with the means for meeting these wants by industry and intelligence. It is in our country that these truths are seen in their clearest light. Here there are more business activity, larger cities and towns in proportion to our population man in any other part or the world This is due to the fact that we have more wants and more means to meet these wants than any other people Those of an American are at least one- third more than those of an English man in the same condition of life. At the South, where the great majority ar tillers of the soil, although they have a monopoly oi furnishing the world with cotton, yet their cities are small, their wants are few compared with ours, and their wealth far lrss. Our seasons, our wants, our habits, will ever so multiply varied industry that the farmers of the northern belt of States will have a large proportion of home consumers, and of nearby markets in great cities, than can be fouad iu any part of Europe in pro portion to the number of those who till the soil.

He is getting well after his long suffering from a d iswise decilitre d incurable, and we are so glad that ho used your bitters". A iaay ol Kooliester, JN. x.vuea Herald " I am all Played Out1' is a common compliant. If vou feel so. set a package of Kidney-Wort, and take it and you will at once feel its tonio power. It renew the healthy action of the Kidneys, Bowels and Liver, and thus restores the natural liie and strength to the weary body. Get a box ana us ii at onci John Milton nnd Ills Daughter!. And surely ft is his simplicity alone that can excuse his conduct to his daughters. Milton's Oriental views of the function of woman led him not only to neglect, hut to positively prevent, the education of his daughters. They were sent to no school at ail, but were handed over to a schoolmistress in tho house. He would not allow them to learn any language, saying, with a sneer, that " for a woman one tcngue was enough." The Nemesis, however, that follows selfish sacrifice of others is so sure of stroke that there needs no future world of pun ishment to adjust the balance. The time came when Milton would have given worlds that his daughters had learned the tongues. He was blind, and could onljr get at his precious books could only give expression to his pre cious verses through the eyes nnd hands of others. Whose hands and whose eyes so proper for this ns his daughters'? He proceeded to train them to read to him, parvot-like, in five orsix languages, which lie ft.hn se.hnnlmnstor) could at ono time have easily taught them, but of which they could not now understand a word, lie turned his daughters into reading machines. It is appalling to think of such a task. That Mary should revolt, and at Inst, nftr-r repeated contests with her taskmaster, icarn to nate neruruier that she should, when some one spoke in her presence of her father's approaching marriage, make the dreadful speech that "it was no news to hear of his wedding, but if she could hear of his death, that were some thing" is unutterably painful, but not surprising.
