fhr famew Department. Hints to Farmers. Toads are the very best protection of cabbage against lice. Plants when drooping are revived by a few grains of camphor. Pears are greatly improved by grafting on mountain a6h. Sulphur is valuable in protecting grapes from insects. Lard never spoils in hot weather, if cooked enough in frying it out. In feeding with corn, sixty pounds ground goes as far as one hundred in the kernel. Corn meal should never be ground fine. It injures its richness. Turnips of small size have double the nutritious matter that large ones have. Ruta Baga is the only root that in creases its nutriment as it increases its size. Sweet oli "e oil is a certain cure for the bite of a rattlesnake. Apply in ternally and externally. Rats and other vermin are kept away from grain by a sprinkling gar lic when packing up the sheaves. Money skilfully expended in dry ing land by draining, and otherwise, will be returned with ample interest. To cure snatches on horses, wash the legs w th soapsuds, and then with brine. Two applications will cure the worst cases. Timber cut in the spring and ex posed to the weather with the bark on decays much sooner than if cut in the fall. Experiment shows apples to be equal to potatoes to improve cows, and decidedly preferable for feeding cattle. A bare pasture enriches not the soil nor fattens the animals, nor in creases the wealth of the owner. One animal well fed is of more val ue than two poorly kept. Ground once well plowed is batter than thrice poorly. IIINTE ON HARVESTING BUCKWUEAT. —The excellence of buckwheat flour depends chiefly on the management I of the grain between the ripening and j grinding. The comm n way of treat- j ing buckwheat effectually prevents making good flour, it being allowed to remain in the swarth for several weeks, when it should never be suff ered to lie longer than a day or two, and it is decidedly better for thegrain to rake it and set it on end, as fast as it is cradled. Much less grain will be wasted by shelling out; the straw will cure and dry out sooner, and make better fodder; the crob will be ready for threshing or housing in less time; nnd the grain will yield a much bet ter quality of flour. It is especially injurious to the grain to be exposed to storms beforejit is set up, for dirt is spattered all over the grain, by the falling of large rain drops. This makes the flour dark colored and gritty. Wetting and drying the grain several times, destroy; the "life" of the flour. It will never be as white, nor make so good cakes, but will be sticky and the cakes clammy, like the flour of spr uted wheat. THE FARMERS' BAROMETER.— Take a common glass pickle bottle, wide mouthed; fill it within three inches of the top with water ; then take a common Floronce oil flask rc movi>ig the straw covering and clean sing the flask thorougly; plunge the neok of the flask into the p ckle bot tle as far as it will go, and the barom eter is complete. In fine weather the water will rise into the neck of the flask even higher than the mouth of the pickle bottle, and in wet windy weather it will fall to within an inch of the mouth of the flask. Before a hcavj gale of 'viind, the water has been seen to leave the flask altogeth er at least eight honrs before the gale came to its hight. The invention was made by a German, and communi cated to a London journal. NOT BAD TO TAKE.—An exchange says: "As this is the season when people are apt to be troubled with sudden depressions of the colip sus lixdis, attended with sensation of goneness in the region of the cataroid canibus, we particularly recommend the following remedy, to be taken ev ery once in a while or semi-occasion ally : Spiritus Vinus Otardi, z.i Spiritus Yini Jamaici, z. S3. Lugaram Weitum, q. s. Icibis Finis, q, s. Sliceum Pineapplet. Strawberril. Shakatis vieolentur. Sue kite dulciter cum straw um." We are suffering. Will some kind apothecary put up the Prescription and Bend it up ? SAVING SEEDS —lf a farmer is axious to excel in the size and qual ity of his plants, let him save the Beeds, selecting the earliest and fair est for that purpose. It is presu mable that where raising seedb is the business, whole fields and patches are gathered, and all the seeds put into papers. Many of these may come up and produce well; but it is manifest, that one who got his from select stock, taking the earliest and besitj couli start with great advant age. —Yon never shuuld place so much coufidence iu in your minister as to sleep during the sermon. Signs and Tokens The following is from Puck, a new funnj paper in Californi: , A long article having the above heading is going the rounds of the press, and has been for eome time. Puck, thinking the old ones were played our, ha l ! manufactured some new ones ; he being a supernatural being is, of cuune, fully competent to do so. The Gridiron.— To take down the Gridi ron from the Dail where it ie hanging, with the left hand, is a sign that there will be a broil in the kitchen. The Mirror. —lt a mirror is broken it is a sign that a good looking lass will will be missei iu that bouse, A Funeral.—To meet a funeral proce s sion is a sign of death. Pocket Book.—To lose a pocket book con taining greenbacks is unlucky. Nails"—lf a woman cuts her nails every Monday, it is lucy for her husband, Rooster.—lf you hear a rooster crow when you are in bed, and the clock strikes a few times at the same instunt,«t i» a -lgn of Mo(u)rning. An Itching Ear.—lf you have an iiching ear, tickie your nose, and you will have an itching there, nnd ill luck will be averted. Suit, —To spill salt accidentally into a stew, while it is on the lire' is a proof tliat be family will meet with its alteratiou (sui ter rations.) A Cat.— When a cat prepares to wadi it* fuce, it is a sign tliat home one in the hou*e will shortly receive a ticking. W arts. —To have sixteen warts on the left hand, is unlucky ; to have the same number on the right hand isn sign that you are unfortunate. Spirits.—lf a married man, while his wifo is in the ronm, takes up a bottle of spirits with his right hand , it is a sign that she will shortly be out of spirits, and that her husband is going the liquor. . Stock liaising.—lf a one eved bull dog flie» at a stock raiser'B leg, it denotes that a misfortune will happen his calves. Bridal. | If you get on horseback on Mon dny before the sun is up it is a sign that you will have a hand in a bridle- Lucky.—To stroke a green eved cat with a white spot on her nose is lucky, and heavy purrs will qe the consequence. Marriage. —lf you are in a house and hear a baby cry, it is a sign of Marriage— or if it isn't, it ought to be. I lied Ilair.—lf a red haired man falls in love with a girl who dislike? Imir ol that color, he will very likely dye before he is married. The above signs and portents may be strictly relied upon ; they have never been known to fail Gems of Thought, Good nature is the very uir of a good mind, the sigu of a large and geuerous heart. Those who are careful to avoid offen ding others, are not apt to take offence themselves. Man's riches are to be estimated rath er by the fewness of his wants than the greatness of his possessions. Value the friendship of him who stands by you in the storm; swarms of insects will surround ou in the sunshine. Men are apt to lay before them the ac tions of great men, a\id neglect what is more important—the motives of their models. Those who do not spare others, have no just claims to indulgence themselves, and when they fall, seldom ex. iia much compessiou. The greatest pleasure of life i* love ; the groatest treasure contentment; the greatest posiession is health ; the great est medicine a true friend. Thar* is not one quality that is truly amiable in a man, which is not equally *o ' in a woman ; and there is not one vice or folly which ought not to be equal<y de testable in both. \Ve are sent to the ant to learn indus try ; to the daue to icarn innocency ; to the serpent to learu wisdom ; and why not to the robin redbrest, who chants as cheerfully iu wiuter as in summer, to learn equanimity and patience? A SMAIIT MAN. —My friend lives three miles from the po»t offico, and one stormy night last wiuter he told his nephew to harness the horse, go down to the office, and see what there was in the box, giving him the number. Indue time Jerry returned, and pull ed up his horse at the library door of Mr 0 , who, sitting in gown and slippers was impatiently waiting the arrival of the mail. " Well, Jerry, what was there at the post office for me ?" " Two letters and a paper sir." " Well hand them to me! What are you standing there for ?" "Indade, sir, and you didn't tell me to bring them, at all, sir !" Mr. , finding that Jerry had the best of it, asked him what he went to the office for. Jerry replied— " You told me togo to the office and what what was in the box, and haven't 1 none it, sure ?" Jerry had to harnoss up again, and take another ride in the cold, muttering as he went, that he wished his honor would "be afther maning what he said next time." —The papeis iu the case of Champ Ferguson, which were forwarded to Wash ington for the President's approval, were returned on Monday. The sentence was read to Fergusou iu his cell by Col. Shaf fer, commandant of this post, which was that he be banged by the neck until he be dead, on the 20th of October, between the hours of ten A. M.and two p. M. — Ferguson received the annoucccment of his sentence with apparent unconcern. Not a muscleof his face moved. He was taken out riding the same afternoon by his guards, lie i* iu apparent good health and is, to all outward appearaucos, regard- Jess of lis fate. JUST OUPZEZTSTEIZD. MEW BOOT & SHOE SHOP.
