The Deacon and IIis Calf. Last
Sunday, just as one of our straightest dea
cons was getting ready to shake the lines
over his horses' back, and say ge dap,' his
wile happened to remember that the calf
hadn't been fed. The deacon looked at nis
Suuday clothes, and observed that he did
not deem it incumbent upon him to suffer
for the negligence of others ; to which the
deaconess replied that such language iu the
presence of the children, on a Sunday
morning, and from a pillar of the church,
was enough to bhake one's belief iu the
professions that had been made by some
one she could name. The deacon handed
the lines to his eldest boy, and climbed
over the wheel, without saying a word,
lie went around to the front door, and took
the door key from under the mat, came
around to the back door, and as he was
tryiug to put the key in the. hole, the key
slipped from his hand and Blid down into
the mud. Finally be got into the kitchen
and started for the barn yard with the
milk. He set the pail down and called to
the calf, but the beast whisked its tail iu
the air, and bellowed at him. Then he
captured the animal and pulled it along by
the ears and jammed its head into the pail,
but the calf gave a spring, sending the
milk in a cloud of spray over the deacon's
shirt front In trying to recapture the
beast the deacon dropped his hymn book
out of his pocket, and before he could res
cue it the calf stepped both feet on it and
tore the cover off. The deacon got road,
lie took a hop-pole and belabored the calf.
One end of the pole struck the shed, and
bounding up, knocked the deacon's ping
hat off. It rolled directly under the calf,
who set his foot through the tile, and then
went tearing around the yard with his tail
in the air, and that hat fastened just above
the knuckle joint The deacon went into
the house, and as he unbuckled his shirt
collar, he called out, 'Maria, you go to
church, and if anybody asks after
me, tell them I staid at home to feed the
calf!' -

said a little, blue eyed, flaxen-haired boy
on Green street yesterday, Met me take
your candy and we'll all play chicken.'
'Is it nice ?' inquired a half-a-dozen six-year-olds
in chorus. 'Nice ! you bet it is.
Let me show you. Xow, I'll lay the candy
down here on the step, and you all go down
there and come up when you hear me call
like a rooster.' The girls retreated and
gathered in a group about fifteen feet off,
while the boy got on his knees, with his
head over the candy, and began to call and
strut and flap his arms like a rooster's
wings. HJluck, cluck, rat, tat, rap, cluck,'
and all the girls came running up and bent
to pick up the candy, when the little fellow
opened his mouth and took it in at one
gulp. Oh, you mean boy,' they cried,
'you have taken all our candy. 'That's
rcause I played rooster,' said the boy:
'roosters always calls the hens up when he
ends a grain of com, aud then picks it up
himself.'

PUBLIC REPORT
or a
POLICEMAN.
I have not enjoyed cood health for several
years part, yet have not allowed it to Interfere
with my labor. Every one belonging to the la
boring class knows the inconrculenee of being
obliged to labor when the body, from debility,
almost refuses to perform Its daily task. I never
was a believer iu dosing: with medicines ; but
having heard the Veoetise spoken or so highly,
was determined to try it, and shall never regret
that determination. As a tonie (which every
one needs at some time) it surpases anything I
ever heard of. It Invigorates the whole system;
it is a great cleanser aud purifier of the blood.
There are many of my acquaintances who have
taken it, and all unite in praise of its satisfactory
effect.
Especially anion? the agep class of people, it
imparts to them theoncibiug most needful in
old age nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well as the body.
One aged lady, who has been suffering through
life from scrofula, and has become blind from
its effects, having tried many remedies with no
favorable result, was induced by friends to try
the Vegetife. After taking a few bottles, she
obtained such great relief that she expressed a
wish for her sight, that she might be able to
took upon the man who had sent her such a
blessing.

HEARTFELT PRAYER.
St. Paii, Aug. 22, 1SC5.
II. K. Stevens, Esq. :
Dear Sir I should be wanting in gratitude. If
I failed to acknowledge what the Veoetisb has
done for roc. I was attacked abont eleven
months since with Bronchitis, which settled into
Consumption. I had night sweats aud fever
chills ; was distressed lor breath, and frequently
spit blood ; was all emaciated, very weak, and
so low that my friends thought my case hope
less. I was advised to make a trial of the Vegetine,
which, under the providence of God, has cured
ue. That be may bless the use of your medi
cine to others, as he has to me, and that his di
vine grace may attend you, is the heartfelt pray
er of your admirinir. bumble servant,
BENJAMIN PETTINGILL.

your medicine ha effected in this place. B, P.
MAKE IT PUBLIC.
South Boston, Feb. 9, 1871.
R. II. Stevens, Esq.
Dear Sir I have heard from very many
sources of the great success of Vegetine in cases
of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint,
Catarrh, and other diseases of kiudred nature.
I make no hesitation in saying that I knote Veor
eixe to be most reliable remedy for Catarrh aud
General debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, aud at times very badly. She has
thoroughly tried euery supposed remedy that we
could hear of, and with all this she has for sev
eral years been gradually growing worse, and
the discharge frum the head was excessive and
very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenc
ed to take Vegetive ; I could see that she was
improving or. the st-coud bottle. She contiuued
taking the Vegetine until she had used from
twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now happy in
informing you and the public (if you choose to
to maKe it public) that she is entirely cured, and
Vegetine accomplished the cure after notliiug
elc-s would. Hence I fee! Justified in saying that
Vegetine is the most reliable remedy, and
would advise ail suffering humanity to try it, for
I be'.ieve it to he a good, honet, vegetable medi
cine, and I shall cot hesitate to recommend it.
I am, Ac, respectfully,
L. C. C A UDELL.
Store 4l Broadway.
Vegetine acts directly upon the cause of these
complaints. It invigorates aud strengthens the
whole system, acts upon the secretive organs,
allays inflammation, cleunscs and cpres ulcera
tion, cures constipation, and regulates the
bowels.
Has Entirely Cured Me.
Boston, October, 1 870.
.:r. Stevens :
Dear Sir My daughter, after having a severe
attack of whooping rough, was left in a feeble
state of health. Being advised by a friend she
tried the Vegetine, and after using a few bottles
was fully restored to health.
I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism
I have taken several bottles of the Vegetine for
this complaint, and am happy to say it has en
tirely cured me. I have recommended the Ve
getine to others, with the same good results.
It i3 a great cleanser and puritler of the blood ;
it is pleasant to take ; and lean cheerfully re
commend it.

THE LIGHT RUNNING "DOMESTIC."
The "IoiiieiIIc."
The DOMESTIC" is au exceedingly simple
machine in all its parts and processes. It is
easily understood ; familiarity with its action is
very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any
practice of special skill in the operator.
The superior advantages obtained In tho "Do
mestic" are mainly :
1. Light Running.
2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels.
3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch.
4. Durability arising from Simplicity of Con
struction. 5. Absence of a 11 Friction.
C. Great range of Wotk.
7. Ease of Operation.
We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only
Machine worthy of public favor. We admit
there are some possessing real and acknow
ledged merit ; but we do claim, and are prepared
to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many
excellences that reuder it deridcdly mperior to
any other Machine now before the public.
Let every woman, therefore, examine for her
self into its merits when she buys a machine.
This is an important purchase,' not to be care
lessly made ; one thai will Influence her com
fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes
tic" iu her possession, she will find her sewing
hecoine a pleasant exercise of skill and taste, in
stead of a slow manual drudgery ; she will have
the time and strength to add beauty aud elegance
to work in which before she has been obliged to
content herself with bare utility.

Tasst fob Bots is Hoksss. A Washington
Review and Examiner correspondent of the de
partment of agriculture says : It appears from
remarks cf different writers that none know of
any certain remedy ; I know of a remedy, that
is safe and certain, discovered In the following
way: About thiny years ago a friend lost bv
bots a very fine horse. He took from the stomach
of the dead horse about a gill of bots and
brought them lo my office to experiment nDon.
Ho made preparations of every remedy he had
heard of, and put some of them Into each. Most
had no effect, a few affected them slightly, but
sage tea more tbac anything else ; that killed
in fifteen hours. He concluded he could Kill
them by nutting them into nitric acid ; bnt it
had no more effect Uuon them than water : the
third day they were as lively as when put in. A
bunch of tausy was growing by my office. He
took a hand of that, bruised it, added a little
water, squeezed out the juice, and put some In ;
they were dead in one minntc. Since then I have
had it giveu to every horse I have seen affected
with bots, and have never known it to fail eivinsr
entire relief. My friend had another horse af
fected with bots, several years later. He gave
him the tansy in the morninz anj a dose of salts
in the evening ; the next morning he took np
from the excretions three half pints of bots.
Fodder Cobs There is a great deal of differ
ence in many parts of the country between
corn fodder and fodder-corn. la Pennsylvania
and many other places the corn is ent as soon
as yellow aud firm, and bafore ih frost injures
the leaves, and in this way tha 'fodder" is al
most as good as hay. Then it is customary ia
many cases to sow corn broadcast early In spriug,
and cut it greeu through the summer, for forage,
and this is written about sometimes, as green
fodder, but (Jften as fodder-corn.
In some cases we note tha; thw arp
cocfused; one writer evidently underolandlng
one tbin, and another the other, and this is
true we suppose of the reader. It is worth
while to take note of -the difference. Cornfod
der, as we understand it in Pennsylvania, has
not been considered of mnch consequence in
many places, bat of late there has been ranch
said abont corn as a substitute for bay. In
some quarters there is a disposition to recom
mend It to be cultivated as hay. It is recom
mended to sow it not broadcast as we do, when
it is to be cut and used green bnt ne narrow
drills, so that it can bo kept clear for a little
while by the cultivator. There is no doubt but
that it would get a much better start in this
way, and perhaps yield a better weight per acre
than when sown broadcast, besides effecting a
considerable saving In the:- .quantity of seed
sown no mean item in so large a seed as corn ;
but we should fancy it would only answer as a
bay-crop in climates very dry, as its succulence
would tend to make it mnsty, when it would be
very unsavory eating to most cattle. Even in
our regular cornfodder curing we have to be
very particular to keep the material from mould
ing, and for this purpose it is the practice to let
it stand before cutting until there is a danger of
the frost injuring it, and then the shocks have
to be stacked rather loose.
Indeed where it is thought desirable to grow
corn in drills this way, with a view to a sort of
hay-crop, there seems to be little advantage over
the old-fasbioned cornfodder crop, when we not
only get a good supply of wholesome cattle-food,
but a crop of corn besides. In the way proposed
we may get a greater weight ot material, though
this is somewhat doubtful ; bnt when this is at
the sacrifice of the grain, and at the risk of the
mould, we donbt whether there is much gain.
As regards the object of cutting as green food
for feeding during summer when pasture runs
short, it is worth considering whether the drill
ptan Is not preferable to a broadcast sowing.
This we think has uever been tried in these parts.
Still we have onr doubts of Its being so, as
broad-casted sowing, when well done, comes np
so thick as to prevent the growth of weeds, and
causes the stalks to be more slender and hence
more tempting to cattle. Oermantomt Tele
graph. The Colorado Potato Bro. The farmers in
our vicinity arc just now having their potato fields
invaded by the celebrated Colorado bag, sua the
demand tor Paris green has become so great
throughout the country that, were it not an ar
ticle obtainable in almost 'unlimited quantities,
the price would be greatly enhanced.
Let every user of the article keep constantly
ii mind that Paris green is a deadly poison, and
great care should be lakej iu tUe handling of it.
Hands from which the skin is abraded, or oa
which any sore exists, sbonld be protected with
gloves, and all precautious should be nsed
agaiust inhaling the poison while mixing it.
The following, from the Maryland Farmer,
seems to be a practical mode of applying the
poison to the vines. We would, however, sug
gest, that, on sina I patches, the dipping of a
broom in tho liquid and shaking it over the
vines, be used as a substitute for the appliance
which our contemporary suggests.
Sweeten a barrel of water with one gallon of
cheap molasses ; then add and well incorporate
1 B. good Paris green, and apply the same in
one application to 1 acre of potatoes. The best
mode of applying the liquid to the potato vines
is in the use of a can that will contain 4 or 5
gallous, which may be lashed on the back of a
man, who may apply the liqnid, very uuiformly
and rapidly, by having two short pieces of i
Inch india rubber hose attached to the bottom of
the can, the other end of the hose terminating in
a tin rose, similar to that on watering pots.
The liquid shoald be well stirred at each Oiling
of the can, and it should be frequently and vio
lently shaken during the time of applying it.
An active man can apply the poison to four
acres of potatoes in a day with ease, and two
applications, at proper intervals, will save the
crop.
The cost is estimated as follows : Hanling
water, mixing, and applying the liquid. 30 cents
per lb., two applications, CO cents ; 2 gallons
molasses, 60 cents ; 3 lbs. Paris green, $1.40;
total, $2.60.
Gree Masurixo with Buckwheat. Buckwheat-is
extensively employed in certain portions
of the country fur turning under as manure. It
is more valuable for this purpose upon light,
sandy soils, containing very little vegetable
matter, than upon heavy clays. We have a
field at this time covered with a fine growth of
buckwheat, which will be turned under as soon
ns it comes into bloom, and the land teaded
down the 1st of September with timothy grass,
and without grain being added, as is generally .
practiced. If we were to sow winter wheat or
rye upon the land should consider lb buck
wheat as beneficial, inasmuch as it would be
equal to a light cressing of manure. You can
test this system of turning nnder buckwheat for
winter grain without much expense, and we
wonld adviw yon Jo do so.
Top Dressino for Cors. Guano, hen ma
nnre, plaster or almost any of the commercial
manures will answer as a top dressing for corn.
Wood ashes are also entensively nsed for this
purpose, and with good results. A good hand
ful to each hill is sufficient for one application.
A compost of hen manure and good friable
mnek would probably be better than plaster or
superphosphate, bnt a man may not be abia to
get either ; hence be sbonld nsa something else,
or what ever is at band. -
The usual time of applying plaster to corn Is
soon after the staiks appear above ground, and
another application may be given when they are
a foot or more high.
Orchard Grass. A friend of ours a pro
gressive farmer in one of the best farming, towns
of Western New York is enthusiastic abont
orchard grass. He says he can keep a cow on
half acre through the summer and .have some
h.ny for winter use from the same plot of ground.
Orchard grass starts earlier than acy other feed,
stands the dronth well, and not only bears but
needs frequent cutting or cropping. Our friend's
plan would be 10 pasture in sections, tying the
cow to a stake through the day and letting her
eat the grass in a small circle around It. As
soon as any part of it becomes large enough to
cut it sbonld be mown, and either fed to the cow
at once or saved for hay. Nothing injures orchard
grass more than to let it get too large. The
stalk becomes woody and the root is eufeeb'.ed.
When cut often and early the grass starts with
astonishing rapidity. JJo other grass will yield
as much good feed per acre, and no other will
better day for liberal mt nnring. Sural -Vit
