Ukdekdkainino. There are - very
many farms, fields or, parts of nelds,
that would well repay the owners to nn
derdrain. We say vnrler-drain. Open
ditches are nuimnf.e anywhere, and
especially where sassafras, briars, and
all kinds of foul weeds abound. The
advantages of draining are numerous.
We will speak of but three : L The
land is more easily tilled. 2. It is more
productive. 3. It removes the cause
of malarions disease. Very many who
realize and acknowledge its advantages
are debarred by its exjeDRe, In many
places, at a distance from factories, nar
row boards are being used instead of
tiles, and it is said they will laid almost
a lifetime. Where wood is plenty.
farmers have but little eicuse for work
ing around unsiyhtty and unhealthy
hog-boles year after year.
But it is not enough that a dry melon
and clean seed-bed is prepared. The
good farmer will .' Ins land in good
condition. The mam end with very
many fanners seems to be to obtain the
largest yield witn trie least possioie ex
penne. Cheapness in obtaining a pres
ent crop is not everything. The pru
dent man will have an eve to the fu
ture. He will see that, if he always
takes away withont adding, the richest
land will sooner or later become poor
and unproductive, For years and years
this exhaustive system has been fol
lowed until a large portion of the once
rich and productive soils are nearly
worthless : and this exhaustion has
been largely aided of late years by the
use of tiie (so-called) concentrated fer
tilizers, nthiiulatini the land to pro
duce large crops, but always leaving it
jioorer than before. Now, the man who
floes this is like that oue in tue old ia
ble who killed the goose that laid him
daily a golden egg. He thonght there
mnst be many eggs, but of course
there was but one ; and be found wlien
too late that he had foolishly destroyed
tlm source of his wealth.

Turks. Unless the surface of the
ground is mulched around young trees
over an area of six to ten feet in diame
ter, the pronnd tdionld be kept clean
and mellow. Every farmer knows that
a lull of corn or potatoes will not
amount to much unless cultivated, and
yet there are mauy who will neglect to
pive the same care to a tree wuicu is
worth a hundred bills of either of the
former. In rich soils trees m-y grow
rapidly withont cultivation, and no
amouiit of grass or weeds will retard
them : but there are other things Ikv
sidcs growth to 15 loosed after. If
the weeds and grass are allowed to
grow up around the stems of apple,
IH-ach or quince trees, the bark will be-
nie soft near their base by lieing
shaded, and thereby be in a suitable
condition for the reception of the eggs
wliich will eventually become ieach or
apple borers, lake any dozen young
apple trees in sections where the apple
tree borer is abundant, and allow a
wrtiou to be cheeked with weeds and
the remainder well cultivated, and then
watch the result. From our own expe
rience we believe that the chances are
nine to one in favor of tboxe cultivated
V-itjg exempt from this pest.
Dhopy or Crop. When fowls are
troubled with this complaint the crop
is distended with an ill-swelling liquid,
the appetite fails, and the birds are
dull and disinclined to move aliout
lu sneh cases we have opened the crop
by making an incision about half an
inch in length with the points of a pair
of sharp scissors, and after allowing
the liquid to escape, injecting with a
common syringe some water and carbo
nate of magnesia, with which the crop
was well washed. The water was re
moved thronghthe opening, the edges
of the wonud in tue crop were tuen
drawn together with a surgeon's stitch,
alter which the wound in the skin
was closed in the same way.
The bird was then fed with soaked
bread and milk, in which a little mag
nesia was mixed, for a few days, and it
recovered at once. This disease may
le prevented by feeding the fowls occa
sionally with bread and milk, or easily
digested food, and giving some pre
pared chalk or magnesia, or a pinch of
copperas along with the food.
Old Ant New Pasttres. The
Country ! nllrman says the question
is worthy of examination and close ex
periment why is old pasture reputed
to be so much better than new? Would
not new le as good as old, if sown so
thick that the new shall be as thick as
the old, say with a bushel of timothy
and clover jer acre? If not, why is
the reason ? Why is not course, thinly
grown pasture, better than old, thick
pasturage ? home farmers of high re
pute say that line, thickly sown corn
fodder is of little value, and not to be
compared with the fodder of corn grown
in thin drills, with more space and un
der the influence of air and Slight ? If
full-grown well developed corn stalks
are, like well-grown fruit, richer and
ietter than small and thickly grown,
why will not the rule apply to grass ?
As we understand the question, thin
grass is not poorer in quality, but there
is not enough on an acre to satisfy a
thrifty farmer. Hence the old idea of
making two spires grow where one
grew before.
FitrxTNG Roses. The time to prnne
rose bushes depends entirely upon the
class or family of roses to be pruned.
Without going into a systematic con
sideration of the different species of the
roses, for which we have no time just
now, we will merely say that they are
three grand divisions of the rose genus,
each of which requires a mode of pru
ning pecuhsr to itself. For the first
class roses that bloom but once year
summer roses as they are called we
have always found it best to prnne
them pretty severely as soon as the ie
riod of blooming is over, unless it
should be very dry, in which case we
defer the pruning nntil just as the fall
growth begins. By this course we get
an abundance of young spurs or sheets,
for flowering the next season.
Dressing Black Hoos. A correspon
dent says : The principal objection to
the Essex and Berkshire breed of hogs
I find to be their color. Now, as You
att, justly observes, this is not skin
ileep. The coloring matter will be
found to be secreted between the true
skin and the epidermis or outer skiu.
If care is taken in scalding black hogs
they can be dressed as white as any
white hog. It is a well-known princi
ple that ail black substances absorb
heat. Hence in dressing black hogs
the water should not be so hot as in
scalding white ones. Instead of this
color being an objection, I regard it
as an advantage, for the skin of a black
hog will always le fonnd to be smooth
and glossy, free from cutaneous erup
tions, and always clean.
Asparagus. Cut off tops and covei
the bed with coarse manure. Removt
celery and bury in a trench, as deep at
the plants are high as closely as it can
be packed, and cover with straw as the
advancing cold requires so says an old
market gardener. Fresh planting oi
rhubarb, asparagus, fruit trees, enr
rants, gooseberries, raspberries and
strawberries may be made now with
profit, if well done, and the ground
mulched where necessary during win
ter. -Horses Masks Falling Oft. The
Bbedding of hair from the manes and
tails of horses can be prevented by
washing the parts affected few timet
in carbolic soapsuds. Or a wash made
of lard oil, one pint, and aqua ammo
nia, one gill, well mixed and rubbed in,
will prevent the - falling of the Lair.
We have found it effectual.
Scientific.
A Faw Words About Coal We see
that coal-seams are the remains of an
cient vegetable layers, formed under
neath the trees of the ancient forest. Bat
it is not to be snoDoeed that everv
forest in those old times spread its
shade over mass of decaying vegetable
matter, nntil the time should come
when the mass should be covered over
with shale or sandstone. In order that
coal-seams should be formed, it was
necessary that the forest region should
be so abundantly watered as to form a
forest swamp like tbe cypress swamps
of Mississippi. Yet, again, it was
necessary that daring the fresh-water
inundations which helped to accumulate
the vegetable matter round the roots of
the ancient forest-trees, no mad should
be carried into the swamps. As Lyell
says, "One generation after another of
tall trees grew with their roots in mud.
and their leaves and prostrate trunks
formed layers of vegetable matter,
which was afterwards covered with
mud. which has since turned shale.
Yet the coal itself, or altered vegetable
matter, remained all the while unsoiled
by earthly particles.' This is a fact
which seems at first view altogether
perplexing features of any natural
enigma, geologists have been led by
this difficulty to the interpretation of
the enigma. It is to this very I act mat
we owe the most trustworthy informa
tion yet obtained respecting the pro
cess by which coal-beds were originally
formed. The solution of the difficulty
is due to the same eminent geologist
from which we have already quoted the
statement of it "The enigma," he
says, "however perplexing at first sight,
may, I think, be solved by attending to
what is now taking place in deltas. The
dense growth of reeds and herbage
which encompasses the margin of for
est covered swamps in the valley and
delta of the Mississippi is such that
the fluviatile waters, in passing through
them, are filtered and made to clear
themselves entirely before they reach
the areas in which vegetable matter
may accumulate for centuries, forming
coal if the climate be favorable. There
is no possibility of the least intermix
ture of earth matter in such cases.

Artificial Bone Black. The only
process which allows of producing
artificial decolorizing charcoals, ap
proaching, in their properties to bone
black, consists in impregnating woody
matters with phosphate of lime dis
solved in hydrochloric acid. Tbe phos
phates are thus distributed as they are
in natural bones. The mass thus pre
pared is ignited. The difficulty consists
in obtaining products of a sufficient
density and mineral richness, and free
from foreign salts. The charcoal ob
tained has to be washed in excess of
water to remove chloride of calcium, if
joor coprolites have been employed.
It is liest to use the coprolites found in
small granules in the gray phosphatic
chalk of Ciply.
Crystalizatios of Tin. A fine crys
talization of tin is obtained as follows :
A platinum capsule is covered with an
outer coating of paraffin or wax, leaving
the bottom only uncovered. This cap
sule is set upon a plate of amalgamated
zinc in a porcelain capsule. The plati
num is then filled completely full of a
dilute and not too acid solution of
chloride of tin, while the porcelain is
tilled with water acidulated with 1-20 of
hydrochloric acid, so that its surface
comes in contact with the surface of
the liquid in the platinum. A feeble
electric current is set up, which reduces
the salt of tin. The crystals formed
after a few days are well developed.
They are washed with water and dried
quickly.
Snake poison raises hnman blood to
a high temperature and induces a
putrescence which increases in rapidity
as the temperature rises. The heart
becomes sluggish, so that the putrid
blood moves along the vessels very
much like thick dirty water in a gutter
with but little fall. It is this fatal
condition that alcohol overcomes in
cases of snake poisoning. It reduces
the temperature of the blood and
checks the putrid tendency. It also
increases the action of the heart, which
hastens the blood through the lungs
and gives it opportunity for more
copious oxidization.
The true equivalent of one-half ounce
avordupois is 14 2-11 grains, but the
postal law allows 15 grains to be taken
as the equivalent of the nominal half
ounce. This is a difference of from 5
to 6 per cent. And in case of a busi
ness house which has many heavy let
ters to mail, in the use of metric instead
of avordupois weights, there would
probably be a saving of not less than 4
per cent in postage. It is barely pos
sible that the Post Office Department
applies the law only to foreign letters.
Br PLrsoiNO a sheet of paper into an
ammomacal solution of copjier for an
instant, then passing it between two
cylinders and drying it, it is rendered
entirely impermeable to water, and may
even be boiled in water without disin
tegrating. Two, three, or any number
of sheets thus rolled together become
permanently adherent, and form a ma
terial having the strength of wood. By
the interposition of cloth or of any kind
of fibre between the layers the strength
is vastly increased.
The yellow spots produced by nitric
acid may be removed from brown or
black woollan goods, while fresh, by
repeatedly dipping them into a concen
trated solution of permanganate of
potash, and then washing with water.
The yellow siots on the hands msy be
removed in the same way, the brown
stain produced by the permanganate
being removed by an aqueous solution
of sulphuric acid. Old stains cannot
be removed by any process.
Graphite, or plumbago, is believed
to !e anthracite coal which has been
subjected to the most extreme degree
of mineralization or metaroorphism,
being frequently fonnd in igneous
rocks. It is often produced in blast
furnaces, and is found in cast iron. It
jonsists of almost pure carbon with a
slight admixture of iron.

Domestic.
. Restorative a NocRisHrso Broth.
Slice three onions and dispose them in
pipkin so as to cover the bottom of
it, over them place a layer of fat bacon
in slices a quarter of an inch thick ;
over that put three carrots, cut in
slices, so as to form another layer ; on
this pat the following condiments
judiciously proportioned viz : salt
whole pepper, cloves, parsley, marjoram,
and thyme. Upon this pat two calves
feet chopped in small pieces, and one
pound of beef free from fat and finely
minced. Cover the pipkin and pat in
on the fire, let it cook slowly for an
hour, then fill np the pipkin with boil
ing water so as just to cover tbe con
tents, and let it simmer for an hoar
longer. After that the liquor should
be poured off without disturbing the
contents. The liquor should now be
strained through a napkin and the fat
whioh will float on it should be taken
off with some clean blotting paper, and
the broth is ready for use. A teaspoon
ful of sherry and small quantity of
sugar, may be added if desired. This
broth when cold will be a firm jelly.
After the liquor is poured off the con
tents of the pipkin can again be covered
with boiling water with the addition of
a few spice and sweet herbs, a couple
of hours boiling will produce a second
portion of broth nearly as good as the
first.
What is cow left in the pipkin is an
excellent foundation for making some
very good soup. Take all the cold
meat that may be at hand, and pat into
a boiler with the contents of the pipkin,
adding more spice, herbs, pepper and
salt, and vegetables if desied. Ponr
over it three quarts of water and let it
simmer for five or six hours, then strain
and clear with the white of an egg.
No 2. Proceed as in tho above as far
as the layer of carrots and in putting in
the spices, substitute mace and a little
nutmeg for the cloves put in the calves
feet, and instead of the beef have a fowl
which must be cut and chopped into
small pieces. Finish this in the same
manner as number one. The sweet
herbs and spices used will be fonnd very
ap(etizing and the broth very nourish
ing to the invalid.
Good Economist. French people
have a knack of making a little go a
great way. In the first place, not an
ounce of food is wasted in harvesting
or preparing for market. In the next
place, not an ounce more of vegetable,
flesh, fish or fowl, groceries or liquids,
than is really needed, ever goes into
the pot or kettle, or is placed on the ta
ble. The wife of every French family
knows to a nicety, what quantity of
each kind of food is the least that will
suffice to make a comfortable meal, and
not a particle more than that is cooked
or served. There are no slop-buckets
full of broken victuals left on a table,
after breakfast or dinner, to be thrown
on the street or manure heap, or flung
to dogs or swine, as in America. No
pieces of bread and meat, or vegeta
bles, are thrown away ; such quantities
are not bought as to become stale or
spoiled in the cellar or pantry. Servants
are never permitted to waste or steal
food for poor relations, as in America.
The housewife looks after the market
ing, her kitchen, and her pantry, with
sharp eyes and unflaggiug care.
economy in the consumption of fuel for
cooking and house-warming is immense,
as compared with that in our wasteful
country. One reason, of course, is.
that wood and coal in France are scarce
and dear. They cost at least double
the price paid therefore in the United
States ; but the domestic consumption
is not one quarter as much.
Soup. Cut some new carrots and
some new turnips in the shae of peas,
put them in separate saucepans with
enongh stock to cover them, and a
pinch of sngar. Keep them on the Are
till the stock has all boiled away, but
mind they do not catch to burn. Cook
some peas and asparagus points in the
same way. - Yon should have equal
quantities of each of these vegetables.
Cut out of lettuce and sorrel leaves
pieces the size of a sixpence, and let
them hsve one boil in some stock. Put
all the vegetables so prepared in the
soup tureen, add a few sprigs of chivril,
pour over them some well-flavored con
somme, and serve.
Partridges Stewed. Stuff the craws
with bread-crumbs, a bit of bntter,
lemon-peel grated, shalot chopped,
parsley, pepper, salt, nutmeg, yolk of
egg ; rub the inside with pepper and
salt ; half roast them ; stew them with
cnllis, or rich gravy, and a little
Madeira, an onion, a piece of lemon
peel, savory, spice, if necessary, for
about half an hoar ; take out the onion
and lemon-peel ; thicken it with little
dour; add cayenne, ketchup, Ac, if
necessary ; boil it np. Garnish with
bard-boiled yolks of eggs ; add artichoke-bottom
boiled and quartered.
Tns "Herald of Health" is of opinion
that the simple color of one's surround
ings has a marked influence on his
health. It says : "Yellow on the walls
of our rooms has a very depressing ef
fect on tbe mind. Violet is worse. A
man would go mad in a little while in a
violet papered or painted room. Black
rooms, or rooms heavily draped in
mourning produce gloom and fore
boding. Never wear mourning long,
unless you wish to come sad and sor
rowful beyond what nature ever in
tended." Wrr the spots of iron rust on muslin
or white dress goods thoroughly with
lemon juice, then lay in tbe hot son to
dry. Repeat the same if the color is
not removed by one application. When
dry, rinse in clear, cold water. Lemon
juice cannot be used on colored goods,
as it will take out printed colors as
well as stains. It will remove all kinds
of stains from white goods.
Sweet Corn. There is no food for a
family cheaper, and, when properly
oooked, better than green corn. It is
nutritive and digestible, and is alike
palpable to alL Generally there is an
abundance in the season of its first
maturity, but in how many gardens is
supply kept up by constant planting,
beginning in May and ending about
the middle of July.
To Bake Ham. Most people boil
ham. It is much better baked, if baked
right. Soak for an hour in clean water,
and wipe dry. Next spread it all over
with thin butter, and then put it in a
deep dish with sticks under it to keep
it out of the gravy. When it is fully
done, take off the skin and matters
crusted on the flesh side, and set it
sway to cooL
Roasted Gbken Corn. Strip off all
the husk from green corn, and roast it
on a gridiron, over bright fire of
coals, turning it as one side is done.
Or, if a wood fire is used, make a place
clean in front of the fire ; lay the corn
down, turn it when one side is done ;
serve with salt and bntter.

To Destroy Bed-Buos. Boil in one

A Trstv SavrlBg.
Necessity is said to be the mother of
invention. That may be, but time is
also. During the years when men
were worked for twelve and more
hours, bnt few and crude inventions
lightened labor, and this becanse me
chanics were more concerned for what
tliey should eat and wherewithal they
should be clothed than in studies to
adapt machinery to mechanical uses.
The dates of the Patent Utbce will show
that most inventions of value have been
made since the inauguration of the ten
hour system, aud now the machinery of
the country is equal to tbe lalMtr of
twenty-eight million men. Hitherto
ten hours' labor has been necessary for
tbe wants of civilization, because of the
altseni-e of machine labor, and the pres
ence of so many nieu living by their
wits, and at the expense of the industry
of the country. Now we havemachinery
by which men are enabled to do ten
times the work that was or could be
done by our fathers, fifty years ago,
and some inventions do not fall short
of doing one hundred times the amount
of work that was then accomplished.
There is no longer a necessity for so
much work; the wants of the work do
not require it ; grain can be raised and
wade iuto bread with one-twentieth of
the labor; a ship can be built in less
than one-fourth of the time ; a house
can be erected and ready for use in one
tenth of the time, and less than a tenth
of the men can do it ; one man can
make more shoes and boots, and hats
and clothes, than twenty ineu could
then have doue; the railroads will
carry our goods and produce two thous
and miles, and across tbe continent, in
less time than our fathers could haul
their grain to a profitable market : the
daughter of twelve years of are can do
the washing while her mother gets
breakfast and takes care of the Iwby;
the accomplished young lady can churn
the butter while she is hemniinga hand
kerchief, and make a dress in less time
than her grand mother coithlhave basted
it together. Gen. Grant's father took
twelve months to tan leather that can
now be done in six days; men of genius
and late inventors now furnish fuel
from the vapor of crude petroleum
cheaper than a man can afford to dig
the coal or chop the wood, if he has
plenty at his door; we can transmit the
force necessary for any kind of ma
chinery from the rocky banks of a river
to a suitable valley for manufacturing
purposes cheatcr than the grading can
Ite done for buildings at the source of
power; framed doors, window blinds,
or wishes, can now !e made in less time
than our grandfathers could have
dressed the st nil ; and soon throughout
the entire catalogue of industrial pursuits.
rilmiMK Shadow.
We have no more right to fling an
nniicccssarjr shadow over the spirit of
those with whom we have to do, than
we have to tling a stone anil injure
them. Yet this flinging shadows is a
very common siu and one to which
women are particularly addicted. Oh,
what a blessing is a merry cheerful
woman in a household! One whose
spirits are not allccted by wet days, or
little disappointment, or whose milk
of human kindness does not sour in the
sunshine of iriiKerity. Such a woman
in the darkest hours brightens the
house like a little piece of sunshiny
weather. The magnetism of her smile,
the electrical brightness of her looks
and movements infects everv one. The
children go to school with the sense of
something great to lie achieved; her
husband goes into the world in a con
qneror's spirit. No matter how the
H-ole worry and annoy him all the
day, far oil' her presence shines, and he
w hisM-rs to himself, "At home shall I
liud rest." So day by day she literally
renews his strength and energy, and if
you know a man with a U-aming face,
a kiud heart aud a prosperous business,
in nine cases out of ten you will find
that he has a w ife of this kiud. For
uothing is more certain than that the
man who is married must ask his wife
for permission to be happy and wealthy.
Died Suddenly or Heart Diftavr.
low common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity I'J
this fatal malady. This disease generally
has its origin in impure blood filled with ir
ritating, poisonous materials, wliich, circu
lating through the henrt, irritate its deli
cate tissues. Though the irritation may at
first be ouly slight, producing a little pal
pitation or irregular action, or dull, heavy,
or sharp darting paint, yet by and by the
disease becomes firmly seated, and inflam
mation, or hypertrophy, or thickening of
the lining membrane or of the valves, is
produced. How wise to gWe early atten
tion to a case of this kind. Unnatural
throbbing or pain in the reg'on of the heart
should admonish one that all is not right,
and if you would preserve it from further
disease, you must help it to beat rightly by
the use of such a remedy as will remove the
cause of the trouble. Use Dr. Pierce's Gol
den Medical Discovery before tbe disease
has become too seated, and ii will, by its
great blood purifying and wonderful regu
lating properties, effect a perfect cure. It
contains medicinal properties which act
specifically npon tbe tissues of tbe beirt,
bringing About a healthy action. !ulJ by
