TUK FARM AM) HOUSEHOLD. Halt Tor Weed. An expcrionro I gardener says: Salt is miinrtinips applied to gravel walks and toivU in a liquid state, or in the form of strong brino usod quito hot, orns urar the l'Oilin point as possi ble. This is said to bo very effectual in preventing the growth of weeds. .Sundry other solutions are also recom mended for the purpose; but I know of nothing more effectual than a lib eral dressing of dry salt, sufficient to whiten the entiro surface of the gravel. A slight sprinkling Is of little usr, iiul may even increase rather than diminish the evil which it is in tended to cure. In applying such a dressing as has just been recom mended, it is of course necessary to exercise caution, in order to prevent the salt coining in contact vitb the grass, box or other plants, which may form an edging to the road or walk operated on. 1 n my garden last year some walks which were salted early in the season havo been free from weeds all summers Trmtmont ot n. 1'nf.lnre. The first thing to be done with a pasture incumberod with stone is to remove this incumbrance. If there is a low spot, a ditch should be dug there with an outlet to carry off the water and the stone gathered into it and covered a toot deep. Large rocks should be buried where they lie. Then the surface can be improved by har rowing, fresh seeding, and the use of plaster, superphosphate of lime, nitrate of soda, or other useful fertilizers. Permanent pasture is very desirable and easily attainable if the right means are used. The chief of these is the sepd. A mixture of grasses is neces sary, and the varieties chosen should be those having running roots and coming to maturity in succession. Meadow fescue, tall oat-grasses, fowl meadow-grass, orchard-grass, timothy, and red-top will altogether make a thick, permanent sod, and if a little white clover is added it might be an advantage. Four pounds of each would he enough to the acre. New York Time. Milk Cows Need Stables. - If the stable is not so close as to make the cows uncomfortable, and is welt ventilated and kept clean, and as gocd food givn as that obtained by grazing, the fame cows will give more milk in a season if kept up than they would If running at large, unless the grazing is done under unusually favorable conditions. Cows in milk require but little exercise to maintain good health. What they get beyond thi3 requirement when grazing, which is generally considerable, tends to diminish their milk. Exposure to hot sunshine, to storms, and to annoyance by flies, , tends to depreciate both quantity and quality, and to give a balance in favor of stabling. The more traveling cows do, the more cheesy matter do they develop in their milk, while to support the increased respiration occasioned by the increased exercise, more fat is burned up and less appears in the milk. The quieter they remain, the richer their milk in butter. Upon the varying conditions which may accompany the two modes of feeding, will depend the preference in richness and quality of milk. It is believed to be generally on the side of housing when properly attended to. Live Stock Journal. Fertility Increased by Rotation. When the farm annually yields to Its full capacity there is extracted from the soil those elements that prin cipally constitute its riches or fertility, and unless the soil is led with matter containing those elements of fertility it will in the coursfl of time fail to re pay for the labor and capital required in its cultivation. Most farmers are . aware of that fact and use barn-yard manure and commercial fertilizers in order to supply the deficiency. We have within our power, however, the means by which the soil can be recup erated and restored to fertility, and every prudent farmir takes advantage of such opportunities In order to bring his farm to the liighest degree of productiveness. The practice of a rotation of crops is essential to good farming, and it is by such system that the most fertile sections have been kept to their standard condit ion. llow rotation accomplishes so de sirable a result is not a hard matter to solve, for plants, like animals, differ in their methods of growth and feeding capacities. When a field is occupied by clover, the crop, when plowed under or fed to stock on the farm and again returned in the shape of manure, adds additional matter to the soil. When fed to animals, only a portion returns, but when the whole crop goes under, the quantity is very large. JJut, as a crop of clover is sometimes too valuable for the plow, we still have the advantage of knowing that the sods and roots are very enriching. Clover is a lime and potash plant, re quiring but little applied nitrogen to make its growth; and yet, by shading the soil, and through its power of utilizing the nitrogenous materials of the soil and atmosphere, it returns more nitrogen to the soil than those crops that depend largely on that sub stance. Nor does it take from the soil a disproportionate quantity of phos phoric acid, which is another advan tage in its favor. As clovtr takes from the soil lime and pot ash print ij ally, it leaves the ground, when removed, in good condition for some crop that prefers nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Experience .has taught fanners that wheat or corn is capable of filling a place in the rota tion, and such system is general on well cultivated farms, wheat, clover and corn following in successive order. In some sections the practice is a hoed crop, that is. in a hlitlon to the use of the cultivator, the, hoe is passed through the cornneia, which more thoroughly eradicates weeds. It calls for more labor on the corn, but saves it on the weeds. The rotation is pot, however, complete without a root crop of some kind, and this, joined with the hurdling of sheep, a, is done in Eng land, will bring an almost barren field in the course of a few years to a fortile condition. Our system of rotation is too narrow and should take in other crops that are profitable, in order that the dements of plant-food should bo distributed im evenly as possible when removed by crops. Another advantage in rotation is that all soils contain fertility to a cer tain degree. Even in the best of soils thera are dormant or insoluble sub stances valuable in composition, and when they are not being appropriated by an occupying crop are gradually being reduced and rendered soluble as plant-food for the succeeding crop, and thus rotation not only prevents the loss of particular substances in excess but converts the locked-up elements of the soil into free and assimilable matter. In this country no system of rotation is complete without clover; in Eng land it must contain the cultivation of root crops and sheep pasturage. That we may learn a valuable lesson by com bining both practices it becomes the duty of every farmer to make experi ments, even if only on small locations. Practical Farmer. Itrelnr.

The atrophy wasting which char acterizes declining vital power shows itself in the wholu digestive tr ct. The mucous membrane that lines it from the mouth downward is greatly thinned and toughened. Many of the glands, including those which secrete digestivo fluids, wholly disappear, while all are more or less wasted. The consequence is slow and imperfect digestion. The aged, mainly from eating food in quantity and quality such as they h;id previously iieen accustomed to, and sometimes through the influence of other chronic diseases, especially bronchitis and heart-complaint, are very liable to chronic dyspepsia, called by physicians gastric catarrh. In this disease the mucous mem brane of the stomach is unevenly thickened and hardened. Minute ulcers cover large parts of it. The tubules, from which the gastric juice is poured, are often obstructed by fat globules, rt suiting from fatty degenera tion. The natural motion (peristaltic) of the stomach and intestines Is impeded. Among the symptoms are a sense of weight in the stomach after eating, or constantly ; aversion to food, unless highly seasoned ; thirst, especially for acid drinks ; heart-burn ; pain in the stomach, diffused, or in a small spot, but relieved by pressure ; despondency, distrust of friends ; irritability ; wake fulness, ordisturbed sleep ; a sallow or dirty-looking skin. The disease may be caused not only by improper food, but by tobacco, alcoholic drinks, too little exercise, mental or manual labor after eating. The doctor should have charge of the case. .Still, his treatment will be directed mainly to the diet. Unless, however, the patient co-operates with him in this matter, his efforts will be unavailing. With such co-operation 3 cure may be effected. In this connection, Dr. Loomis quotes Abernethy as saying: "A man cannot bo induced to attend to hi digestive organs till death, or the f eai of death, states him in the face." Youth' Companion.

Cikorob Wenokia, Sinclair l'luce, Boston. An autumnal afternoon in tho year 188 found tho taut llagsliip Nomad rounding the treacherous and dangerous extremity of South America. And this day certainly in tended to place itself on record with those of it predecessors marked stormy, its Hasti ness in wind and weather giving all hnnds on bonrd the flagship their fill in hnrd work and discomforts. The record of the Aomad on this cruise, whioh she was now complet ing on her homeward bound passage to Bos ton, hnd been most disagreeable, when con sidered in the light of heavy wenther work. From Sum to Aden, then on to Bombay, Foint de Galle, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Nagasaki and Yokohama, the balance sheet stood largely in favor of old Neptunt's rough characteristic, but with remarkable evenness the health ami original roster of the ship's company stood this day ns it did nearly three years ago with one exception. Throughout the diverse and varied exposures incidental to cruising over the Asiatic station, where cholera, fevers, liver complaints, malaria, and colds of all degrees reign in full force, none of tho crew had suffered more than temporary incon venience, and thus it seemed very hard that now, in tho closing days of the cruise, there stood nine chances for, to one against, a vic tory being nt last scored for tho destroying angel Death. When the Xomad reached Shanghai in tho eniiy portion of her cruise tier admiral was the healthiest man aboard. A grand specimen of tnanho.xl was he. Over ix feet in height, weighing two hundred pounds, broad in chest and strong in limb, l.e rightly claimed for himself a full share of Nature's blessings. While returnins late one night from a diplomatic reception at the Consulate nt Shanghai, through overheat ing and insufficient protection from the dan gerous effects of the peculiar dump and searching night nir, he caught cold. "Only a cold," remarked the admiral to the doctors of his ship, "nnd easy to cure." So thought the medical officers, put with a quiet though insidious progression, this cold clung to the admiral in spite of their best efforts to erad icate it, and when the time came for leaving Yokohama, homeward bound, theadmiral re alizd that his lungs and throat were decid edly out of order. The doctors advised re turning home by mail steamer to San Fran cisco so that greater means for curing this persintent, cough might be found in the Nava Hospital there; but the admiral pre ferred to stick to his ship, still imagining Hint his trouble would eventually bu over some by the doctors' treatment. No one who looked at the admiral even in those days imagined that he woulJ fall a rictim to lung trouble. But it was the old story again typified in this case. Only a cold at nrstj and in spite of orthodox treat ment the peculiar climatic effects of China nursed it, and hastened the sure result ofiWlus bright morning would have a Horded in sucn a ueop-seatea trouoie. lime passed after leaving Yokohama for Boston, bringing varying symptoms in the admiral's case, and the doctors imagined that they held the dis ease in check at least. But with the forma tion of tubercles, night-sweats nnd the now rapid consumption of lung tissues, which had set in with alarming symptoms, the pa tient realized that his cold had laid the seeds of that fell agent of Death, ronmtmptiun. The hacking counh of the admiral had in itself been sufficient food for serious consid eration, and now, as in the warm autumn days the flagship gallantly rode over the blue waters of the Pacific, bound for Cape Horn, the doctor hoped much for success. But this boisterous afternoon found the good ship struggling with gigantic seas setoff from the Cape by a fierce northerly wind, leaden wore the heavens and Bad the hearts of all aboard, for that morning the usual bulletin of the medical officers had set forth this intelligence: "The admiral is in same condition as reported last night. A burning fever has been slightly reduced, while other symptoms are as heretofore an nounced." All understood these words without questioning. The beloved admiral had during the past two weeks sunk very lov J. he symptoms of blood-poisoning, a torpid hver, intense pains throughout the body, eyesight and mental faculties affected, appe tite gone, through inaction of that great reg ulator the liver. These were the means which had reduced the ndiniral from the pinacle of health to the valley and shadow of death. Vimntmptum held full sway now, nnd the well-known skill of naval doctors was in this instance at least completely foiled. The admiral hnd issued orders for the flag ship to touch at .Montevideo for coal, and it was the intention of the doctors to land the admiral there for treatment. But one man in the ship was wrapped in the gloom of de spair, ns standing by the weather rigging on the poop deck he g.ized absently over the seething waste of waters. This was the ad miral's son, a lieutenant, and attachel to his father's staff. Ho feared that the wear and tear of ship life would sap Ids father's t-tieiigth beyond endurance, and before the ship could reach Montevideo. Among a group of sudors gathered around one of the great guns on the spar deck stood the captain of the foretop, Itrown, a slight but healthy looking untn. His companions were listen ing to h recital of 1ns suffering from con sumption, which h.id developed while he was attached to the sloop-of-war Itumjcr, lying in the harbor of Yokohama a year' ago, this "yarn" having been started by a discussion about the admiral's condition. TI.e nu n h id just returned from some work around the deck, an order for which l a! interrupted Browu's story a few moments previously. A year ago this day I was hove to in the 'fill ninnV sick bay in the Hauler, then oif Yokohama, an' 1 tell you, pards, 'twas no use pipin' my number, 'cause 1 was nigh on P'issin' in my enlistment papers for a long v . u. o aloft," continued Brown. "('011 humptiou had me Hat aback, and the doct jr says it was no use to stow nway his lush in inyhold seein' that my bi llows wii.i con demned by a higher power than he could wrastle with." "How did you pucker out of it?" asked a gunuar's mate. "Wa'all," replied Brown, "my Chinee waslunuu came to me one lnornin' an' he tays to me, "me hub got allee same Mi licau man.uiedikin, do you heap go id!' I nays, 'briiW it oil'. Chang; 1 buy all th-' same.' '1 hat afternoon Chung hove up with fourteen Unties of a luuh, enough to kill or cure the whula ship's crew, an' that looked fresh in thtir juice w wrappers. Says Chang, 'China hub got plemee ntore, lie make 'nan doctor heap good well with my sick, this number one medikeu allee same through Yokohomn.' Wa'all, 1 took tho bottles nn' told the doctor I was gniu' to try one as by the sailin' or. dors on the bottle, and tho doctor holnnghed nnd snid 'twas no good, but 1 done as the regulations says from tho first, an' here I nni, ag'in t he doctor's idetls, to be sure!'' VYitli this triumphant insertion Brown looked nbotlt the circle. Then, lowering his voice, said: "Boys, 1'te four of those precious bottles left nin't give 'em nil away yet after 1 was enred nn' if you all think that it would not be too free with tho 'old man,' suppose 1 go to his son thereon tho poop deck an' sny what I have to you, an' nskin' his pardon, say we want the nd iniral to try tho stuff in my bottles, seein' that they cured my consumption." This idea met with approval from all sides. Therefore Brown walked off for an interview with the admiral's son, with no little anxiety in his good heart ns to the re sult of his mission. Approaching the lieu tenant, Brown sainted, and asked for per mission to state his reasons for doing so. This was readily granted, and Brown spoko oub "Seeing ttint I was once cured of con sumption lieutenant, 1 make bold to ask if I can tell yon how, nn' why I've tho rea sons for wishing yon to use on your father what was my salvation." In B few moments the lieutenant had Brown's stury out, nnd much to the hitter's gratification, granted n ready permission to him. It did not take Brown long to run to his ditty box, get tho bottles of medicine, nnd return tei the lieutenant with them. "I'm afeared that the doctors will kick nn'in the use of this blessed stuff, an' what will you do, sir," said Brown, ns he placed the medicine in the cnbin orderly's bunds to bo taken into the admiral's room. " 1 will attend to that, Brown, and rest as sured that your remedy will have a fair trial in spite of any opposition. It will not hnrm my father, judging from ynur statement nnd (he opinion of tho Medical officers of tho Jtamjrr." " 1 hank you, sir, nu' God help the admiral to weather his trouble, is the prayer of all the ship," said Brown, as the lieutenant turned to enter the cabin. There was no cessation in the storm that evening. The gale howled through tho rig ging in wild, discordant tones; the great ship labored through the white-capped moun tains of water threatened to eugulph her with each burst of their storm-whippod crests. Within the admiral's cnbin the Ar gutid lights, the comfortable furniture, and tho numerous evidences of the admiral's wanderings over land and water, as displayed in choice bric-a-brno and trimmings, gave to the room a warm, snug appearance, most pleasing this wild night to those within. In his stateroom lay tho ndmirnl, made com fortable by all that loving hands nnd willing hearts could suggest. By his side sat his son, who in quiet voice was recounting to his father the interview Willi Brown, and tho opposition met with from the doctors when the idea of giving this new modicine was broached. " You were sleeping nt tho time, fnther, nnd therefore missed a laughable scone, made so, in spite ot your condition, by the intense dislike displayed by the doctors for this 'new-fangled stuff,' this 'patent liquid,' which they declared with their consent should never be given to you. Well, I cut tho matter short by saying that I would take all the resHjnsit)ility, and with your permis sion would administer it That 1 obtained when I found you awake, and now you are under way with the first bottle as per direc tions. 1 am satisfied, dear father, that it will do you good, a premonition tilling my heart that nt last we have found the means of arresting tho burning fever nnd hacking cough which have been troubling you so much." The admiral's reply was cut short by a severe spell of coughing, during which lie spat blond, nnd when finished sank back ex hausted. But tho grateful look which he be stowed 011 his son wns nn additional nssur nnctyf belief in that which the ndmiral had at lust sight dubbed ns a possible but doubt ful me.ms of doing him any good. But lay ing nside his dislike for any but old-established remedies, the admiral Acquiesced in his son's request, and now, after this last spoil, admitted that the effect of the dose had softened the dreaded severity of the racking cough. f Three weeks later found the Nomad mak ing the harbor of Montevideo. After severe and prolonged weather she had rounded the Cape and was now standing in the harbor for the nurnose of rocoulim; and wnterimr. To one given to tho study of human line 1 ments the faces of those aboard the flagship unit ite scope for such pursuit. But tho source of each man s happiness (lowed from tho same fountain of giaieful joy. The beloved admiral was the cause of this. And why? If you could have seen the admiral this bright morning, dear reader, your answer would have been easily found in his face. A changed man was he. Victory was perched on his guidons! tho dread enemy was s'owly retreating! Tho light was a severe on, but with no cessation in vigilant action and care ful application of the contents of four bottles the nduqral had turned tho flank of consumption, nnd wns slowly but surely driving him off the field with a power which astounded the doctors and tilled nil hearts with joy and thankfulness. What was this then that had won the vic tory for the seaman Brown, and whs now leading the admiral's shatteied forces to the same grand result? lieu asked this ques tion by one of his officers on duty, in Mon tevideo, the admiral, slowly lifting his hand, replied, "1 would that in letters of gold, mid so placed that all the world could read them, the name of this great remedy could bo shown, co ipled with t le genius who discov ered it 'The Goi.hkn Medical Dikcovkuv! Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y..' the man who has given to his fellow men tho greatest le lief from all illsthat mortal flesh is heir to!" "This is the name of tho contents of that bottle on my table, ami (iod bless the uiau who hns found the secret of filling it with a ined cine at once purifying nud strengthen ing, wlioleioino and thorough in its results, and claiming, in my humble opinion, noth ing for itself that it (unnot reasonably per form. Nature's ally against the abuse of man!" Well might the ndmiral sing the praises of that which had so unexpectedly rescued him from a fatal illness. U hen the ship anchored tho first commission for tho admiral's son to execute was a large purchase of Dr. l'ierce's Golden .Medical Discovery, which, as the ad miral sadly admitted, ho had seen in every port the world around and had only admired ns nn evidence of the energy nnd enterprise of nn American who could thus place his Golden Medical Discovery in every nook and corner of the globe. But now he was one more to testify to tho wonderful power of this modicine, and certainly did so in Montevideo, by praising it up to nil the high officials who visited him. A week later nnd the Xomad sniled for Boston direct. Wluit the condition of the admiral was when she arrived there is shown in his letter above. Let it be recorded to the credit of the doctors on the tlugship that they were completely cured of all dislike for the Golden Medical Discovery, used it faith fully on the voyage to Boston, nnd landed, thr.iugh Us wonderful power, tho admiral completely restored; and more than one poor fellow who started out in the sick bay of the -Wiiiik. Wa it stanc'i friends the Golden Medical Diseo ery made in that ship! The above, reader, is an outline of the story, spin bv the admiral to his friend when they int f a ihe dinner. We will not touch un otlie 1 o.vions of lcs interesting recital of his cruise in general, our uiin being to re cord Ins lesiimouy for the greatest wonder in uied c.il science that this nineteenth cen tury of surprising developments has pro duced.

The nutritive properties possessed by cod liver oil are trilling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Diseovory. It rapidly builds up the system nnd inerenso the flesh nnd weight of those reduced belo the usual standard of health by wasting dis eases. ' The render will pardon the foregoing di gression, prompted by our admiration for a remedy that perform such marvelous cures, and permit us to say that when the admiral returned to his home in New York the only cloud cast upon the happinessof the reunion with his family wns cuusod by the continued illness of his eldest son. a young man of tont)-fonr, whoso disease, when the ad miral sailed from Montevedio, had been re ported a succumbing to the treatment of the family doctor. But his father thought it otherwise: the unfortunate young man whs suffering severely from chronic dieoa?o of tho kidneys nnd bladder. Before leaving Boston the admiral had purchased a copy of Dr. l'ierce's book, "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser." He read this val uable book thoroughly, and upon hi arrival home had made up his mind as to tho future treatment for his son. The latter wns sent to the famous Invalids' Hotel, nt Buffalo, N. Y., conducted by Dr. H. V. Fierce, and his conq etent staff of specialists, where, under skillful treatment, the sufferer soon found relief and a permanent cure. I'ctcr Cooper's Liberality. During the winters of 1874-5, 187.J-0, and 187G-7, the sufferings of tin poor in New York from privation, cold and wani 01 employment were unprece dented in the history of the metropolis. Every day during these long winters, from 3 o'clock in the afternoon until u'tfO, Mr. Peter Cooper sat In his oflleo or library on Lexington avenue, and no one, nowever snaimy in dress, was refused admission. On the talile la fore hiyi were piled hundreds of newly coined nau-doiiars ami piles of one dollar greenbiieks, antl these piles were replenished every hour hy the servant in attendance. His rule was to give every applicant nail a dollar in any event, and if the case seemed to bo a specially urgent one the douceur was doubled, with a request either to write a history of the case, have it authenti cated by some clergyman or other aiu thority, and send it in for further con sideration. As early as 2:!J0 o'clock in tha afternoon crowds of poverty siricKen people uen and women of every nationality and position in life might been seen gathered in tront or the Lexington avenue resi dence, and tho amount expended often amounted to f 200 in a single day, irre spective of the special cases that were more carefully inquired into, and in which special aid was given. Most of the applicants were strangers, and many, of course, were downright lrauos. isui tne old man proceeded upon the principle that it is better to lie deceived by many than to deny one deserving sufferer, lie could afford, he used to say, to give half a dollar to anybody who asked for it, irrespective or tne merits of the applicant, nnd time did not permit him to inquire too minutely into the circumstances. His heaviest week during any season ng gregated $ 1,500; it was considerable money to spend on mendicants; but.as tne old man said, the ministers would take care of those who belonged to tneir denominations, and some one must taKe care 01 inoso wno were neither Episcopalians nor Methodists, iTesnyienans nor uatnoncs.
