Eittgbitglj . Gairfft :HUH, GARDEN ASD HOUSEHOLD! Boxvio rasTusEs. Every boy that has driven cows to old ' , pastures has noticed in them a shun:Liar taste for chewing old bonis. Let a piece of the size of a big potato lie in the grass -at the roadside, and a coviwill' see it and turn aside for it as quick, as though were an ear of corn. I this a mere whim' or fancy in , ! ) itedumb brite, like the fond. :ness of b9ys for chewing cherry gum, or - the ichOol girls display for chalk ? of at all. Cows and oxen chew bones as medicine. Nature tells them that they need it, and they cannot get it in the gra zing which old pastures afford. Nobody sees mph a taste in horses and sheep. Let us consider theubject in the light of one or two well Settled facts. The milk of a cow for all the season contains on an average twelve pounds of phos phate of lime. That milk is consumed in or near the house or it is carried hun dreds of miles from the farm in the form of , cheese. Nobody thinks of carrying the. concentrated manures of the hog pen to the cow pasture; htce, no part or Onstituents of the milk ever gets back to the 'pasture where thS'ibiss grew, from , `Which the milk was Made. The proper inference is ette.Y. All 'old pastures re quire a manure that contains 'phosphate of lime. Suppose milch cows have been on a range of pasture for sixty years at the rate of a cew to five acres. Each acre bad been robbed of one hundred and twenty-four pounds of phosphate of lime. The duty of the diirs man, admits then, of no discussion.. He is requiring of his cows to produce milk from grass that is wanting Inoue of the most.valuable con stiMents of milk. He is as unjust as old Pharaoh when he made the Hebrews make brick, but gave them no straw. Ground bones contain more of the sub stances that his cows and his pastures re quire than any available manure. It Should be sown on the pastures at the rate indicated above. • That is, if a pasture -bas received no bone for sixty years, and bankrupt as a range for cows, it will re . Ore one hundred and fifty pounds of phosphate per acre. Two hundred pounds of raw bone meal would be no more than a proper dressing, and this dose should be , repeated every few year:l.—Exchange. Stable' Windowc—Diseases of the eye ih kurses may, in many , cases, be traced to the wretched custom of confining ani mals in dark stables. Any one who has been for some Bine in a dark room, knows what the effect is, of coming suddenly ant into the bright sunlight. The horse is no less sensitive. Bring him suddenly out, and yon• notice that he stumbles against almost everything that is in his way, and steps with the utmost uncertain. ty. This blundering is not the fault of the poor beast, but of his owner. The eye must gradually become accustomed to the change. The effect of the common mode of treatment cannot fail eventually t to be disastrous to the eyesight. The de tention in dark stables must have a dele terious influence upon the optic nerve, `"by weakening it. Tile return feels it also. Objects are reflected upon a dull surface rand they are not clearly discerned. The master wonders what is the matter. His horse used to be sure of foot, but now he eitt.umbles entirely too frequently for hiS credit in the market. He used to be very gentle and could be warranted as alto gether safe, but now he shies so aboinni. ably that several times he has very near ly upset the carriage, and the ladies of the house are afraid of him. He is losing character, and rapidly getting a bad name, when the "poor 'brute is as deserving of confidence as ever. The animal would in fact be safer with absolute blindness than with imperfect vision, for it is con stantly alarmed by objects which are seen indistinc:ly, whereas, in the former case, it trusts entirely to the bridle. -Farmers will do well to make a note and let their horses have light. Harvesting Buckwheat. —Buckwheat is the most peculiar of the grain family in the manner of its ripening—a considers. ble portion being in the milk state when another will be fully matured. The point is to cut it in that stage which will save the most, and this is when about half of the grain has turned brown. If the straw were less sensitive to cold than it ie, harvesting might be delayed longer, but when stricken by frost the growth is entirely arrested and the straw disposed to an early decay, preventing any itirther maturing of the grain. But cut when a portion is in the milk and set up in bunches in the field, the juice of the straw, in which it is peculiarly rich, will cause the immature portions to ripen and little, will be lost by over ripeness or a lack of it. The common grain cradle - will be found the best implement for har vesting this grain, as it leaves the straw in a condition to be easily gathered in bunches for setting up for drying.

Tomatoes are sometime pre pared in this way with diluted vinegar, but the claret wine imparts to them a rich el' and more pleasant flavor, more resem bling the strawberry than anything else. Preserving Peaches. - he - Doylestown Democrat furnishes the following season able receipt, which will be regarded as an interesting item by many a matron : The clear-stone' yellow peaches, white at the stone, are the best. Weigh the fruit after it is pared. To each pound of fruit allow a pound of loaf stigar. pat i - layer' of su gar at the bottom of the preserving kettle, and then a layer:of fruit, and so on until the,frult is all in. Stand it over the fire until the sugar is all dissolved; then boil them until they are clear;. take them out piece by piece, and spread hem on a dish free trom syrup. Boil the syrup in the pan until it jellies; when the peaches are cold fill the jars-half full with them, and fill up with boiling syrup. Let them stand a short time covered with a 'thin cloth, then pat on brandy paper, and cover them close with corks, skin Or pa per. Frbm twenty to thirty minutes will generally be sufficient to preserve them. Short and Useful Rule to Find Hn Many Bushels Are in a Box. —Multiply its length breadth and depth, in feet, to gether, and you have the number of solid feet, which being multiplied by 45, and the product divided by 56, gives the number of bushels. Becauke one solid foot is just 45.56 of a bushel. Example. —How many bushels in a box four feet wide, two feet deep and ten feet long? 4,2 and 10, multiplied together, give 80 solid' feet, which multiplied by 45.56 gives 64 tashels. If it is ears of corn, deduct what you wish for space occupied by cobs. 4 - Cure For Lockjaw.— correspondent of the Scientific' Amerte n recommends turpentine as a certain cure for lockjaw He says: "Let any one who has an at tack of lockjaw take a small quantity of turpentine warm it, and pour it on the wound—no matter where the wound is', or what its nature is—and relief will fol low in less than one minute Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine, it will give certain relief almost instantly. Turpen• tine is also a soverign remedy for croup. Saturate apiece of flannel :with it, and place the flannel on the throat and chest —and in very severe cases three to fore drops on a lump of sugar may be. taken inwardly—Every family should have a battle of turpentine on hand." The re medy is simple and can' be easily tested. In ad serious cases an application should be made under medical advice. Treatment of Bee Stings.—Just as soon as the sting is extricated prick the part where punctured with a pin or needle until the blood starts; then squecza or suck out the blood. PROSECUTING CARELESS FARMERS. The West Cnester Republican states that during the session of the Legislature of 1867, through the influence of a Farm er's' Club in that county, a,bill was passed applicable alone to Chester county, mak ing it a penal offence for "any person or persons, owning, possessing, or occupy ing and holding land or lands, in the county of Chester, to allow any or either of the following weeds to mature seed on land owned or occupied by him op them; viz: The common mullen, the moth mullen, wild carrot, Canada thistle, horse nettle and ox-eye daisy. Any person, owning, occupying or holding land upon which said weeds, or either of them, shall be found with matured seed, shall be deemed and taken as maintaining a nui sance, and shall be subject to such penal ties as are now, by law, imposed." Rail road companies are also made liable to the same provisions. The first two cases that have occurred under the law, took place before Justice Whitehead, of West Chester. last week. Mr. Ferdinand Wood made complaint against John Ortlep for allowing ox-eye daisies, and other noxious weeds to ma ture upon his property. He was held to bail in the sum of $lOO, to answer the charge. Subsequently Ortlep made com plaint against Wood, for the same offense, and he was likewise held to answer. Both parties reside in the township of Londonderry. Tun Waynesburg Messenger says: Last week we dug a portion of our po tatoes—very fine looking ones indeed— and put some of them In sacks. In lcok ing at these a few days after, we found many •of them already rotted—the real potato rot—while another portion dug at the same time and poured out on the floor,' where they had the air, gave no signs of decay. From this it would seem that potatoes should be spread out and thoroughly aired and dried before being packed away. This hint may be of value to our potato raisers. The potatoes that showed the rot were white Neshannocks; those that did not were Buckeyes. The potato crop in this county is unusually good, though we have reason to fear that the rot will destroy many of them. A PHILADELPHIA paper says that an epinent surgeon of that city had his Mlles washed in the morning with water in which one or two glided onions had been steeped. He found .that the flies kept at a respectable distance, while no harm was done-to the animals. A sepa rate bucket or vessel other than that used to water the horses, would be necessary, and great relief would be obtained at a small cost. Tan Erie Railway has introduced the system of reserved seats. The passage ticket has a coupon, the same as a theatre or concert ticket, which secures a parti cular seat to the holder. This is a return to the "first principles" of railroading on the Albany and. Schenectady road, where the passenger had .a seat in the coach bearing the'letter of his ticket. That plan avoided over crowding, and enabled patties to get sure contiguous seats. Ms. Cass; E.. Wiss ► an experientgd :tetonanti' is'sbatttlo 'sake a balloon as. Cerium frpip.llo.Fister.
