Written lor the Hekald by a farmer, gardener aad fruit grower of great experience. HOW MOST TO BENEFIT MY READERS In preparing a weekly column, or more ot "Kural Topics," to be of the greatest benefit to the readers of them, it is necessary to give the views, or opinions, of different men on the subjects that I select. I there fore, embody in my "Topics" to a considerable extent, the cream of the Agricultural and Horticultural press short articles that come right to the points discussed. It is said that, "in a multitude 01 counsel tnere is wis- ' dom and tnoogb it cannot be ex pected that every subject discussed will be of interest to all rural readers, I think I may say that it would be very difficult to lay before farmers and others ot the many States in which these "Topics" are circulated, a weekly series of articles of more advantage to tbem. I may also, per haps, be excused for saying that I have been a constant writer on rural affairs for over thirty years, with an extensive practical experience; and being a reader of all the leading Ag- . ricoliural and Horticultural papers of toe L nitea Mates, 1 think my -writ ings and compilations ought to be of general interest and benefit to those who do not read the agricultural pa pers extensively. MILK VEINS. An experienced dairyman says in the Ohio Farmer: "It is irenerallv considered a most excellent sign of a good milker to snow large crooked veins running forward of the udder aud entering the belly in two large holes. There is some truth and con siderable fiction in this. It will be borne in mind that these reins lead from the udder and not to it. Tbey are made to carry off the blood that the cow is not able to utilize in her udder. To prove this, place the fin ger on the vein, and if held hard and long enough, the blood will swell the vein between the finger and udder, and the vein" will correspondingly decrease in size on the other side of the finger, just as a stream that is dammed up, thus showing which way the blood flows. I omit the sci entific proof of this fact Iu other words, this vein is a mere 6ewer to the udder, carrying off the water or refuse blood. It is like judging the working capacity of a carpenter by the amount of chips he makes. It is of course an indication, and a pretty fair one, bat by no means conclusive. In my own experience, except with old cows, I have found this point very unreliable. In fact, I presume the size of the veins is more a freak of nature than a necessity, as the veins are always large enough to car ry tbe blood, and their display de pends upon tbe thickness of tbe skin and hair." A WASH FOR FRUIT TREES. Soloman Jewett, one of tbe most noted farmers of Vermont, writes to tbe New Yorl World: "Apply a wash of lime or soap to tbe bodies of trees. It will save them from tbe attack of many a pest which domi cils in tbe bark and sap-wood. Yon will find that the old bark will fall off, leaving smooth, fresh healthy wood on the surface. It is also a good preventive from the attacks of the several species of borer. Be careful to wash very close to the ground, and upwards. Tar is not advisable. Dj not ap ply it to tbe bark of anj growing tree ; it is a common but bad prao- . ti:e. Tar penetrates the sap-wood, checks the growth of bark at tbe point at which it binds tbe tree, and checks the circulation np and down where applied. In 1825 I nsed a barrel of tar, with a brush, running a band around each tree. While chop ping down tbe old trees afterwards I saw tbe effects. Tbe bark and sap wood were colored, and the body was entailer nnder the belt of tar. That same year I assisted in destroying at least CO bushels of "forest worms," much resembling tbe common nest apple tree worm. Oar trees were saved ruin, and bore mncb fruit, while tbe surrounding orchards stood leafless, and much iojured. A long, cold storm was pending, while tbe worn in chrysalis was housed ia bis ' cocoon tbat year, by tee million. X long rain and severe chill killed tbem off at that early stage. Orchards and forests of maple trees have not been materially injured since by this species or worm. ORCHARD GRASS. At a late meeting of the New York Farmers' Club, a Long Island farmer was present, with a sample of orchard grass three feet high, showing what good cultivation will do for it. He aid that this valuable, ihourn much neglected grass, is indigenous to the soil of America, and from iu adapta bility to various soils, its early and late growth, laxurient foliage, and nu tritive qualities, is well entitled to an equality with any grass, either na tive or foreign, which is being colli- whiit Hp curvu. uih DHmnuiiD iHr;irrases. It makca a highly nutri vted in tbifl eoantry." Ma"y of ror bet farmers- who feed all their hsy raluo a mixture of orchard grass and nJ clover mora than any other uoua nay, and is mncb reiisnea 07 stock of all kinds. Clover.'hay that is. hay where clover predominates, crows too rank and coarse the first year after wheat, unless (or soiling. Red clover is a biennial plant, and evcnr farmer exoerienees that it is onlj after the second year from wheat that it makes the article so salable in market nnder the name of timothy hay. Orchard jrrass,wben sown with clover, -obviates this diffi culty, grows as rajndly as clover, starts in the spring as earlj, and by this similarity o( habit makes a suit able ctaHS to mix with it For pas- tore it stands the drouth better than any other, will bear heavier stocking and comes lorwara in me spring very earl-. Orchard tra8 quickly re covers and grows after being closely cropped ; a week or ten days of sum mer growth will make quite a good pasturage. It also, by 1U great amount of fibrous roots, tends to 1m prove instead of impoverish the soil It is not at all fit for a lawn, as it sometimes grows in bunches or tus socks, especially when sown thin. The proper quantity when sown alone is but two bushels to the acre ; when sows with clover one bushel is sufficient.- rerEaps-ibere are no two grasses that can be sown together with so great advantage as red clover and orchard grass. ' By their union the crop is nearly double what it would be if each were sown separate ly; they grow and flower well to gether, come to maturity about the same time, and the clover is sup ported from falling by the uncommon strength of the orchard grass. POTATO BEETLES. "I take a pailful of water (say three gallons) and thicken it over tbe fire with rye or wheat flour, or with the common starch tbat is used for dressing satinet warps. I thicken the whole three gallons to tbe consisten cy of cold molasses. I then take a half pint of this starch, poor it into another pailful of cold water, and add one tablespxmful of Paris green, and mix tbe whole thoroughly, care being taken to keep it evenly mixed, and with a sprinkler or syringe apply to each plant or bill. One or two ar plications during tbe season will be sufficient If tbe beetles are as nu merous as I have seen them, the stench from tbe field tbe next day will be sufficient evidence that the work has been accomplished." Se lected. NOT RELIABLE. A successful dodge in free adver tising of commercial fertilizers may be expected in tbe papers, now that such fertilizers begin to attract con siderable attention. For instance, a dealer in tbem writes articles for tbe press, statin e fictitious results from their U9e, and signs bis name "Farm er," or some other nom de. plume.. I have such a one before me in the Ohio Farmer, signed, "Farmer, New Hampshire," who gives a long statement of tbe wonderful results on a "New England farm," from the use of ground bones, fish pomace, wood ashes, guano, potash, oil of vitriol, sulphate of magnesia, nitrate of soda, nitrate of potash (saltpetre) and other fertilizers. Here is a spec imen of what be says he produced One measured acre plowed in au tumn and dressed in spring with five hundred pounds of pure, fine bone, sown broadcast, was planted witn corn. A handful of superphosphate was placed in each hill. From this acre one bunarea ana miy-seven bushels of corn in the' ear were gath ered. The following year, by tbe ap plication of eight hunred pounds of mixture of ashes, bene dust and salt petre, thirty-one bushels of winter rye were raised." He adds that his farm has never produced less than seventy bushels of shelled corn to the acre since be commenced using these fertilizers. This is, probably, one of the bogus free-advertising dodges to which I refer, and I allude to it to put farmers on their guard, lbe most of tbe fertilizers ne claims 10 bave used are useful and in some cases profitable to apply to crops, but the extraordinary products al leged lo bave been obtained from their application may Justly be looked on with suspicion. PRUNING ORAPE VINES IN TIIE SUMMER, ' . j ' Urape vines are managed in sum mer in dinerent ways by dinerent men ; and wben one nas read tbe va rious methods of summer pruning, published in the agricultural and hor ticultural papers, he finds tbe opinion of grape growers so various tbat he is merely befogged by them, if be is a novice in the business. Even the books published on grape culture are of little value, as they were wiittei from 15 to 20 years ago, and when our ideas on grape growing were very crude. I will state a few points that 25 rears' experience have proved to me to be correct, as follows : 1. Thrifty vines, as the Concord, Hartford Prolific and others of very free growth, should leave trellises 10 or 12 high, in order to obtain the greatest amount of fruit after the vines have fruited four or five years ; and the summer pruniog should con sist in cutting away feeble shoots wherever found, thus throwing the vitality of tbe vines into tbe stronger canes, which will produce the fruit bnla of tbe next season. 2 Fioching back bearing canes to iih'n a' leaf or two of, the nearest bunches U of no benefit to the fruit, as ti leaves of the eanea are the longs of tbe vines ; and I claim tbwt if the vines be shortened in at all. it should be, alone-' very moder ately, merely stopping the further growth of canes by pinching them off near their ends. . , 3. In no case should the most thrifty canes be shortened duriotr tbe summer, as they will be the canes which bear the next year's trait 4 As tbe fruit begins to turn in color, do not remove any leaves to expose tbe grapes to the tun, as tbey ripen no sooner by so doing, and the effect of tbe sun is injurious rather than beneficial, while the removal of the leaves actually retards tbe ripen ing of toe grapes, oy checking tbe flow of sap through tbe cases, which the leaves regulate according to tbe requirement of the growing frnit 5. To produce tne best frnit and in perfection, tbe small clusters of grapes, when vines set a great desl of fruit, mast be cat, or pinched off, leaving but one bunch generally to each shoot or cane. Many vines are often so productive that it is impos sible for tbe roots to afford fall suste nance to tbe entire crop; and in such cases I remove about one-half, al ways leaving tbe largest bunches, and the result is splendid frnit, while tbat on vines not so served is of much less value.

While the gastric juice has a mild, bland, sweetish taste, it possesses tbe power of dissolving tbe hardest food that can be swallowed ; it has no in fluence whatever on tbe soft and deli cate fibres cf the living stomach, nor upon tbe living bands, but at the moment of death, it begins to eat them away with the power of tbe strongest acids. ' ; t There is dust on tbe sea, on land ; in tbe valley, and on the mountain top; there is dust always and every where; tbe atmosphere is full or it; it penetrates tbe noisome dungeon, and visits tbe deepest, darkest caves of the earth ; no palace door can shut it out no drawer so secret as to es cape its presence : every breath of wind dashes it upon the open eye, and yet that eye is not blind, le cause there is a fountain of the bland est fluid in nature incesantly empty ing itself under tbe eyelid, which spreads it over the surface of the ball at every winking, and washes every atom of dust away. But this liquid, so mild, and so well adapted to the eye itself, has some acidity, which under certain circumstances, becomes so decided as to become scalding to the skin, and would rot away eyelids were it not that along the edges of them there are little oil manufactures, which spread over tbeir surface a coating, as impervious to the liquids necessary for keeping the eyeball washed clean a; the best varnish is impervious to water. The breath which leaves tbe lungs has been so perfectly divested of its life giving properties that to rebreathe it, unmixed with other air, the mo ment it escapes from the mouth, would cause immediate death by suffocation; while if it hovered about us, a more or less destructive influ ence over life and death would be oc casioned; but it is made of a nature so much lighter than the common air that the instant it escapes the lips and nostril it ascends to tbe higher regions, above - the' breathing point, there to be rectified, renovated, and sent back again, replete with purity and life. How rapidly it ascends is beautifuily exhibited every frosty morning.

A quite unnecessary Mttpjst ia raised over tbe silver dollar. The re- sumptionistsare divided upon it, one class siding with what they conceive to be tbeir immediate personal Inter est. the other following sound sense and common fairness. Practically tbe situation is this, and the issue simple. Gold and silver were wont to be legal tender, one quite as much as the other. A few bright individuals at Wasbibgton in 1373 sneaked an Act througn Con gress virtually declaring that silver should no longer be a standard. Lit tle attention was paid to tbe matter at the time. No notice was given tbe public of tbe Act until it went through ; and even then tbe prospect of resumption with any sort of coin seemed so poor that there was no commotion. But wben tbe Act was Gxinir 1879 as a date to resume, of course tbe uuestion arose wiiemer the outstanding obligations of the Government its bonds and notes, were to be paid in gold or m gold or silver, at tbe option of tLe Govern mcnt. Now this was not, difficult It accords with tbe plainest princi pies cf equity that if silver existed as a legal standard of value wben tbese bonds and notes were issued, any subsequent change of law, should not affect the contract. Why tbis was tbe very point made in favor of pay ing the bonds in specie instead - of Pendietoniaa greenbacks, tier ap pealed to tbe honor and honesty of the people in 1SG3 and received their endorsement, tbougb it involved a very considerable difference against tbem. Tbey came up manfully then, and agreed to live fully according to the spirit of tbeir contract witb tbe bondholders. Well, shall tbe people not have justice done tbem now? Tbey assumed, through tbe Govern ment, debts payable in silver or gold, at their option. Must it be said that because silver has depre ciated they are to redeem in tbe more costly metal ? This is onesid ed with a vengeance. Ofcour e, 01 tbe other banc, no fair person will argue tbat the bonds issued since 1873, tbe new four per cent, for instance, are payable in silver. Tbese, representing contracts entered into wben siUer bad been stricken down by the Act of '7s, are payable in gold : and it is tbis fact, among others, which makes them go off so readily, at tbe low rate of in terest But all bonds or notes issued prior to '73 are, unquestionably, pay able in silver. Congress did on asiuine, unjust thing in passing the Act of '73. It should be repealed, for silver will enable resumption with much less embarrassment tbaa must be other wise experienced, and the remoneti zation of silver will also enhance its value. It was, at best, a gross over sight and error to allow the Act of '73 to be passed at all ; but whether it is repealed or not, there is no question tbat all bonds and notes is sued prior to it are honestly payably in silver or gold at the option of the Government. In all that tbe East ern press has published on this ques tion we bave not seen a single ar gument to lbe contrary worthy of notice. President Hayes and Secre tary Sherman, we believe, are em phatic in this view, and it is palpa bly tbe right one. Itlsilaa Mete- Law. I rind in my budget of scraps an extract from a speech delivered, some twenty years ago, in tbe is consin Legislature, by Hon. Mr. El more. One of my office boys, who bad been engaged as a legislative re porter at the time, gave it to me, and assured me it was correct Tbe sub ject under discussion was a bill on tbe abolition of certain laws for tbe collection of debts. Mr. Elmore said he had bad a lit tle experience in tbe law. some of wbicb bad been decidedly rich. He would give one instance. About 15 years before, be bad purchased a. yoke of oxen, and paid fifty dollars for them. A few days thereafter a son of the man of whom he bad pur chased came to him and claimed tbat tbe oxen were bis, and insisted 011 having pay over again, which be ing refused, be brought suit in court The jury didn't agree; but at length, through blundors of tbe Brushwood justice of tbe peace, the case went against him. "I appealed to the circuit court of Milwaukee," said be, "and there I lost again." Said I to my lawyer : "I will give you ten dollars to quote Pennsylvania law to Judge Miller, making him think it's Wisconsin law, and have a new trial ordered." He took tbe fee, and performed tbe duty. A new trial was granted, and venu; changed to Walworth county. Judge Irwin was on tbe bencb. Any man who would gain a case in hie court must either go hunting with him, and let him claim all tbe game shot, or pet bis dog. Well, I petted the dog. I fed him with crackers. Tbe paBe was decided in my favor. Wben I heard the decision, I concluded tbat dog had bung around me about long enoagb, and a? he happened at tbe moment to be snimng at my pockets, I gave him a kick. Tbe dog yelped lustily, and when his yelping had subsided I heard the Judge say: "Mr. Clark, tbis judgement is set aside, and a new trial granted." Mr. Speaker, and fellow sufferers in the kinks of law, the kick cost me two hundred dollars 1" Urawtfat I4rpexl.

He believ ed, however, that it was an indica tion of friendly relations which ex isted between two peoples who were 01 one kindred, blood and civilization. He hoped that their friendship would continue to be cultivated, and long endure. Referring to some remarks rela tive to the British army, he said there were as many soldiers now at Alder shot as in tbe regular army of tbe United States, which had a frontier of thousands of miles, but if necessa ry the United States could raise vol unteers.

A case is related of an Eoglish clergyman who used to get up in tho nigbt light bis candle, write sermons, correct tbem witb interlineations, and retire to bed again; being all the time asleep. The Archbishop of Bordeaux mentions a similar case of a student, who got np to compose a sermon while asleep wrote it correct ly, read it over from one end to the other, or at least appeared to read it, made corrections in it, scratched oot lines and substituted others, put in its place a word which had been omitted, composed music, wrote it accurately down, and performed other things equally surprising. Dr. Gall notices a miller, who was in tbe habit of getting np every night, and attending to bis avocations at tbe mill, then returning to bed; on awakening in tbe morning he recol lected nothing if wbat passed during the night Martinet speaks of a sad dler who was accustomed to rise in bis sleep and work at his trade ; and Dr. Prichard of a farmer who got nut of bed, dressed himself, saddled bis horse, and rode to market, being all tbe while asleep.

Tbe American outposts (along the Hudson) were then quite near those of the British, and being concealed in the forests, their ex net number and distance were always uncertain. Under the circumstances the Hirb lander was suspected of being an in former, 1. e., in communication witb t ie enemy. It was shortly after the execution cf Maior Andre, and the British were in no mood to let a man go who was accused of sympatby with tbe Americans, lbe suldiur was taken before his colonel, and tbe witnesses of bis presumed guilt told their story. " bat bave yi a to say fur your self?" demanded tbe culouel with a threatening frown. "Only this, sir; I had gut away slyly from my comrades to pray a bit while in tbe busb, and cjme back wben the soldiers took me." "Are vou in th. habit of praviuo,?" demanded tbe officer. "Yes, sir." "Then pray now. You never needed it more in your life." And tbe colonel took out his watch. Fully believing that he bad but a ay minutes to live, the Christian fe soldier knelt and poured out bis soul in such Iangnaze as only a friend of God could use.

"Well what tas that got to do with tbe orange ?" the asked. "Lots, ma'am, heaps. If you was a b)y and saw such a head, and you knew you could hit it and get away all right, wouldn't you put an orange agin it ?" "it was very wicked," she softly answered. "Well. I dunno but 'twas: but if you'd seen tbat old gent catch bis legs and make a jump, and if you'd heard him veil out as be came down acd grabbed for his hat, why ma'am, you'd lend me another orange to pop at some one as I go back ?" Welllnajtoa'a Blralenry. On a certain occasion duriog Well ington's campaign in the Pyrenees. tbat "great captain," being displeased with tbe dispositions General Picton Lai piade for receiving the assault of Marshal Soult. who bad menaced him in front, ordered tbe plan to be entirely changed. But the dificulty we s to delay the attack of tbe French until tbe change could be effected. (errtoti iu the following manner: Dof-' ling Lis ejekod hat ard waving it in j the air, he rode furiously to the head of a regiment, as if to order a charge. Thereupou rote a tremendous cheer from tbe men, which was taken np corps after corps until it reverber ated aloug the whole extent of Pic ton's line. As the roar died away Wellington was heard to remark, musingly, as if addressing himself, "Soult is a skillful but cautious commander, and will not attack in force until be has as certained tbe meaning of theie cheers. Tbis will give time for the sixth division to come up, and we shall beat him ". It turned out as anticipated. Sjult naturally enough supposed tbiee tremendous shouts to announce the arrival of . large rein forcements, and did not attack until too late. Had be struck at tbe right moment, he would have woo an easy victory ; ax it was be met with a bloody repulse. This was strategy. Not tbe strategy uf books, but tbe strategy, of genius, conceived and executed in the same moment, idea was born of the occasion, carried out on lbe instant. Tbe and A Wmw Kama far MMksss, A correspondent writing to the Middletown rre offers the following seasonable suggestion to mothers of a HI icted children : We hope tbat mothers will remem ber that good brandy is a cure for summer complaint; in bad cases a teaspoonful in milk three or four times a day. A flannel cloth wet in hot brandy mixed and heated, will relieve tbe pain of tbe bowels, if frequently laid over the stomach and bowels. Bits of scraped ice are better on tbe tongue than drinks of water. For stings and poisons, a strong solution of saleratus and water im mediately, and then frequently ap plied, gives relief and sure cure. For burns, an immediate applica tion of flour, covering the burn and wrapped so as to exclude tbe air; then burn lard till it is quite brown and relief and cure will soon oome. Do not wash off tbe flour If it clings, but put the lard over it. At night, in extreme warm weather, a lemon squeezed in tepid water to sponge off the tired out little body, will give rest to tbe mother and child. Saleratus is good, but the lemon is best. Kven washing off the little feet, neck and palms of tbe band in trpid, never very cold water, will induce a healthful sleep. Ulaaaaslaa; a SalsswaaiaB. The subject was tbe employment of women as salesmen, or "sales ladiep," as the latest euphemism has it. Mr?. S. said she always "bated to buy anything of a woman." "That is because one woman does nof know bow to use another," f aid Spicer; "men have no difficulty in dealing with shopwomen ; lemme show you," and as they entered the toy store he blandly approached an apple-faced girl, with flaxen hair, done up in small pats over her fore head, and tlightly raising his hat, asked to le shown some toys suitable for a child of three. Apple face turned a cheap locket banging at her neck, right side out, smiled, and said, "yes, sir." Spicer turned his eves around in triumph, but bis ears unfortunately beard the shop belle say, sotto-voiee ; "Jennie, show this old bald beaded noodle some cheap stuff, will yon ? There's Jim Spooner jess come in, and I want to see him." Mrs. Sploer chuckled, and Spicer thought tbat they had better walk on and see wbat there was at the further end of the store. - KtraOcjr Bralalljr larawMl.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is widely known as one of the most effectual remedies ever discovered fbr cleansing the sys tem and purifying the blood. It has &f stood the test of V CAI I aas am iuir stantly growing rep utation, based ou its intrinsic virtues, and sustained by its re markable cures. So mild as to be sale and beneficial to children, and yet to searching as to effectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such as the st-rofulous and syphilitic contamination. Impurities, or diseases that have lttrkcd ia the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, aud disappear. Hence its wonderful cures, many of which are ptililk'Iy known, of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers, Eruptions, and emptive dis orders of the skin. Tumors, Itlotc-Iics IJoils Pimples Pustules, Sores, St. Anthony's Fire, ltoses or Krysipc las Tetter, Salt ltheum, ScnUI llcatl, ltiiijrworiii, ami internal Ul cerations ot the I' terns.

It also cures other com plaints, to which it would not seem espect ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep sia, Fits, Nenralffla, Heart Disease, Female Weakness, Debility, and Lieucorrhcca, when they are manifesta tions of the scrofulous poisons. It is an excellent restorer of health and rtrenzth in the Spring. Br renewing the appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, it dissipatei the depression and listless lan guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears, people feel better, and live longer. lor cleansing tne bloou. l ho system moves on with renewed vigor and a new lease of life. PREPARED M T Dr. J. C.
