AGMIU LTl UL EarlgorLate Planting. U It best to plant as early as possible or to defer thU work as long ascaa be safely done? This U a question in which all fanners are interested, and to which each year tney are pracucauy oDiigca to reply. While there are many advocates for each of these extremes, I think there is a "golden mean" which will lead to m.ich better results. Either of the ex tremes are, open to grave objections, whieh do not lie against a time half wsv between. It is true, as the advocates of early planting chum, that if the seed is got into the ground Tery early, the work is done and out of the way of other things which then need attention. But the objections to this course are that the ground and weather are so cold early in the season that the seed either rots in the ground or else is a long while com ing up;oiten rallsaprey to wire worms; the plants, if any appear, are tender and grow very slowly, while the weeds, which are more hardy, at on-e go in and possexs the land. Late planting is not open to these objections, but it it open to some which are quite serious. If the season is backward, and the plant ing is put off as late as possible, the plants are not large enough to be hoed more than once before haying-time, and there is danger that the crop will not be fully matured before the autumn frosts. I think the beet way is to begin the preparation of the land quite early, plow and get it nearly fitted to receive the feed. Keep plowing and fitting, but do not put in the seed until both ground and weather are warm. Then go over the land with a harrow, in order to de stroy the weeds which have started up and also to make a fine bed for the seed, and do the planting as soon as possible. Then the crop will get as good a start as the weeds, grow rapidly, be ready for the second or third hoeing before the time for getting hay, and have abundant time in which to get perfectly ripe. Country (renlleman, Raiting Onitmt From Seed. John F. Michael says: I have raised nicer onions from the seed than I ever saw raised from the setts. -1 have raised them from the seed of the new giant variety so large that they were over four inches in diameter. I regard the I a ri vers yellow as the best that I ever tried. The liest ground is where it has been tilled for a few seasons, and free from oil kinds of grass aud weed seeds. It should be rich, mellow, and not inclined to liecome hard if dry weather should set in. In preparing your ground, plow as early in the spring as the soil will do to work in. Scatter over the plowed ground well-rotted manure to the depth of an inch. Then harrow your erouncl thoroughly. If there are any clods re maining, apply the roller. But do not use the roller whenever the ground is anyways wet. Use the hand-rake pretty freely. Always select ground as near level as itossible. As to tlieaiuount of the crop, I raised one season at the rate of 40u bushels to the acre. But, like other crops, it depends a great deal on the character of the season. Plant in drills fourteen inches apart, putting in seed at the rate of four Miuuds to the acre. The seed should be cut to the depth of one-half inch. When the onions can be seen in the rows, go through with the hoe aud loosen the ground, in order to destroy the young weeds, which will make their appear ance about the same time the onions do, Then, again, when the onions are about four inches high, go through and thin out. They thou hi be left to stand about one to one and a half inches apart. No weeds or grass should be permitted under any circumstances, to remain among the onions. Good judgment is needed to be used concerning the man ner they should be tended, being care ful to disturb the onion-sets as little as possible, when hoeing. HTuit it A Good Cow. The Mirror and Farmer savs: Every farmer ought to know just what a good cow is, that is how much a cow ought to yield in order to save her from the butcher. In the large dairies in Vermont they call a cow that will make three fifty pound tubs of nutter a year an average cow, and one that will make four tubs a good one. A single cow on good feed ought to do letter than this even. One of the em ployes of the M irror has a native cew which, during the twelve months end ing April 1st, supplied a family of five with milk butter and cream, and sur plus enough to amount to $67.50, the milk being sold at five cents per quart and the butter at thirty and thirty-four cents per pound. I his cow will give on good feed, twenty quarts of strained milk per day. When dried March loth, she was giving four quarts per day, her feed being hay and two quarts of cob meal. She dropped her calf April 1st, 1873, and another March 30th, 174. For such a cow a man had better give $1."0 than to take the gift of a poor one. Our own idea is that a cow from which two hundred pounds of butter cannot be made in a year should not be tolerated around any man's barn. Feeding Frost Fruit. The principal value of apples or pears as feed for stock cousists in the sugar or acid they may contain. There is but little starch in them, and they therefore do not require cooking and may be fed raw as soon as they are thawed out in cold weather. Frozen ai.ples will thaw out without in jury if allowed to remain in the ground in a pit. But, at the best, apples are of little service save as an appetizer, or an aia to digestion, except wnen they are sweet; then the sugar may have some fattening influence. There is nothing in mem to neip produce mat. Lice oa Cattle Keep them clean, and use the card thoroughly, faithfully every day till the old coat comes off; occa sionally put a half a peck of wood ashes under the Tore feet of each in the stable; sift a little through a fine sieve on the back from the horns to the tail. Three to five applications have been sufficient with me. I have never been troubled with them except upon cattle which I bought. Carding cattle is as beneficial as combing the human head, and the man who does not do that is not ex pected to card his cattle. Grinding tool calls for the exercise of great judgment in the determination of the angle, and skill in handling so as to secure a true edge. Workmen make a mistake in grinding down to the edge. inis snouiu never oe done unless It is nicked or otherwise rendered irregular, as the grindstone leaves a rough edge wuicn must oe cut away by the oil stone. By grinding well down to the etige, wunout reaching it, the Iron is given the required shae, and a very little rubbing on the oil stone will pro- auce a good keen edge. It hat been found by careful ex peri menu that 100 pounds of turnips, 20 pounds of potatoes or carrots, 25 pounds of sweet milk, 9 pounds of oat meal, 7 pounds of barley meal, Hl pounds of bread or flour, 4 pounds of lean meat or .tpounus oi peas or Deans, will pro duce one pound of flesh. These experi ments were mane upon animals that were in a suitable condition for laying on flesh. The majoritf of a convention ot German pomologists expressed a decided prefer ence for the pyramidal form for fruit trees. The advantages claimed for it are the minimum of shade, greatest strength, avoidance of severe wounding of the tree, production of better fruit, and at the same time fewer disadvanta ges from storms, weight of snow, excess of fruit, theft, Jtc. Artificial eyct for horses have been im proved upon by a professor in the Berlin Veterinary school, who recommends them not only as restoring to the animal its pristine appearance, but also for the protection afforded to the cavity from dust. Mr. Bishop, the paper canoe trav eler, has returned home. cnmncL Japanese Paver Clothing. In tlie JaD aneee exhibit at the Vienna Exposi tion was displayed a remarkable va riety Xtf object of common use made entirely from paper, tbe mode of man ufacture of which baa hitherto been unknown out of Japan. Tbe articles included handkerchiefs, napkins, jrar uenU, lanterns, umbrellas, aad many others, all made from a fabric notice' able for it strength and solidity. A member of the German Society of Orientalists, M. Zanne. has recently ex plained the process by which this paper is produced. The material used is the bark of tbe UrouMtonetia papyriera or paper mninerrr, the same source irom which the natives of Polynesia derive their tapa cloth and mats, though treated in an essentially different man ner. The culture of tbe plant is quite simple. Pieces of root, some three inches in length, are Disced in the earth so as toprotrude slightly above the surlace. these speedily send torth shoots, often of nine inches in length during tbe hrst rear, and increasing threefold in size during the following twelve months. By tbe end of the third year, tbe plant attains a height of about thirteen feet, and by careful rnning is eventually brought to a road and strong shrub. In winter, the branches are removed and chopped in bits about two inches in length, which are boiled in water nMil the bark comes off readily in the hand. Drying of the bark in the air for two or three days follows; and after immersion in running water for twenty-four hoars, the material is scraped on a cutting blade so as to sep arate the two kinds of libers of which it is composed. The exterior fibers are of dark color, and are called "tarn tara": they serve to make paper of fnferior quality. - The interior filaments, known as "ftoriT which are used for fine paper. are rolled in balls weighing some 35 lbs. each. These are washed in run ning water and left to soak for a short time, after which they are removed and squeezed dry. Boiling then fol lows, in a lye made from the ashes of buckwheat bran, care being taken that the contents of the vats are constantly Httrred. Another washing in water removes all remaining imparities, and the fibers are then pounded, for twenty minutes at a time, upon blocks of hard wood. Tbey are finally massed into balls, and these, by ordinary means, made into pulp. Into the latter a small proportion of a liquid extracted from the root of the hchiocu manihot is mixed and a quanity of rice water, to pre vent the ravages of insects. The sub sequent treatment of the pulp is sim ilar to the usual process of paper making, i t t Leather papei, so called, is made by the superposition of several sheets of tiie material previously soaked in an oil derived from the ymoko (eellit Wti denotriana), subjected to strong pres sure, and lastly covered with shellac. Clothing is made from a paper called "thefu", which is cut into threads more or less fineacording to the fabric to be produced. These are twisted by the ringers, previously moistened with milk of lime, and are woven into cloth either alone or with silk. The stuff can be washed and is of great strength and durability. Papier crept, so called by the French from its having the wrinkled appearance of crape, is pro duced by moistening the sheets and pressing them under rollers having suitable corrugations on their periphe ries. Toad in tight plaee. In cutting the Inverness aud Perth railroad through the Loclinavandah park, ou Altyre, Scotland, a colony of ancient toads was exhumed from the red freestone. A blast of powder would often wake np a dozen or so of these fellows. When exposed, they seem none the worse for their long repose ; but, after giving a few winks at tbe new light tuns suddenly let in upon them, and taking several gasps of the unwonted air, they leisurely and deliberately proceed to hop aud crawl down tbe line, along the small water-course, toward the lower fields. A few mouths ago, a live green frog was found in the heart of a sycamore tree in Vir ginia. When brought to the air, it seemed at first lifeless, but pulsations soon began. Its back was a bright green and tbe under portion of tbe body was a pale blue. Many like cases are reported, but, it is believed, never by naturalists; and thus there is much skepticism about it. As a prac tical test, a French scientist recently imbedded fivetrogs in deep clay. At the end of seven months only one re mained alive, and tbis was dead at the of 13 months. Swellie suggests that "through fissures and chinks the eggs of toads may accidently be conveyed by water, the penetration of which few substances are capable ot resisting. After tbe eggs are hatched, the an imals mar receive moisture and small portions of air through tbe crevices of rocks or tbe channels ot aged trees. Hut." he adds, "I mean not to persuade; for I cannot satisfy myself." Nor has the ingenious suggestion satisfied any body else. A magic ore separator has lately been invented by Mr. King, in England for the purpose of separating iron ore irom other minerals when associated with them. It is at present employed at tbe Haiiycorkisn Mines, on tne isle ot Man where the ore consists of a mixture of galena, blende, and spatbose iron ore. The galena can easily be set free, in consequence of its greater specific gra vity : bat the blende and the spathic ore cannot be separated by any modern means. A perfectly satisfactory result is obtained, however, by means of the magnetic ore separator. The ore, after being crushed is roasted at a dull red beat in revolving retorts, when tbe car bonate of iron is decomposed, and a magic oxide produced. The ore is then transferred to tne hopper of the mag netic apparatus, which consists of a large drum wheel ahont 18 inches in di ameter and 10 in breath, furnished within with a system of magnets, ar ranged radially. The mixed ore, in its passage over a series of four of these drums, has its magnetic portion grad ually separated by attraction, and the art that escapes is clean blende. Water Ditehtt. The Ditches of Cal ifornia are the great arteries which bring life to tbe mines. Their even and constant flow secures a healthy and vigorous state of industry, while tbe dearth of water in the mines throws a pall over the business world of Califor nia, money becomes tight, and hard times are, the consequence. The engi neering skill display ed in the construc tion of ditches in this State is of the highest chaiacter, accomplishing the most daring feats, banging Humes on steep, rocky bluffs, and crossing gorges of a thousand feet in depth, and it must seem almost a presumption to inquire whether any improvments can be sug gested. The S- ienti tie American describes an ingenious system of lighting rooms by reflection. The light and beat are to be generated in one place, tbe heat tamed off for the registers and the light distributed by reflectors, each throwing into its aoDroDriate tulie a a bundle of rays made parallel by a lens sufiicent to flood the room to which it is directed. In size the light tubes can be smaller than gas-pipes.

Hating Canariet. As some one wishes to know some more about canaries, will give them a little more of my ex perience about them. To make the nest a small basket or gourd is tne nest. Sometimes I line them neatly with canton flannel, to keep the eggs from getting broken, and often I just give them the gourd without lining; give them some soft grass and bits of paper, They will build a real nice nest, and not tear it out. But mine have a "Knacx" of tearing up their nest, hence I line them, tor food I give them just the same food when they are mating as at any other time, consisting of bread (corn bread, light bread, biscuit) lettuce, cabbage leaves, elover, grass, potatoes, apple, hemp"" and canary seed, hard boiled egg. and in fact almost every- thing that we eat ourselves, except meat or something greasy. Some folks do not feed canaries scarcely anything but seed, but we do, and a sick bird is some thing we never had, except when they die of old age. Be sure and give them plenty of food ; when they hatch little birds, especially hard boiled egg; give them a cup of good, fresh water twice a day. We never take tne male mru irom the cage, neither when the ben is setting nor after the young are natcned. w nen the little birds are about two or three weeks old, and the old ones want to raise another brood, they will pick the feathers off of the little ones; then. whichever is the worst to pick the little ones, I remove to another cage. Some times I have to take both out, but I put one of them back to feed the young birds at noon, and again late in the evening, and let it remain in the cage until tbe birds are fed the next morning. Perhaps you will think that trouble. Well, it is; but everything we have is some trouble. After the young are hatched, can they be moved with safety during this period ?" I do not under stand just what that question means, but I would not, nor do not, move my little birds from one cage to another, but leave them in the same cage until they are full grown; but I keep the cage hanging in the nme place while the birds is setting and after the young are hatched until they are almost grown, only when I take the cage down to feed them. 'Tis well to give the cage a good washing before allowing the birds to raise the second brood, but be careful in handling the young birds when changing from one cage to another, as tney are very tender. A lire Sting. The sting of a bee is naturally more violent than that of a wasp, and with some persons is attended with fatal effects. The sting of a bee is barbeil at the end like a fish-hook, and consequently is always left In the wound ; that of a wasp is pointed, so that it can sting more than once, but a bee cannot. When a person It stung by a bee, let the sting be instantly pulled out, for the longer it remaius in the flesh the deeer it will pierce, and the more poisonous it will become. The sting is hollow, and tbe poison nows through it, which is the cause of the pain and inflammation. The extracting of the sting requires a steady hand, for if it breaks in the wound tne pain will continue for a long time. When the sting is extracted, suck the puncture, and thus prevent inflammation. Spirits of hartshorn, if applied to tbe a fleeted part, will more fully complete the cure. 1 he poison U acid, and tbe alkali win neutralize it. If the hartshorn is not at hand, saleratus can be wet and laid upon the place; and soft soap will ofteu ease the acute paiu. Ou some people the sling of bees and wasps have little effect, but it greatly depends upon the state of the blood whether it will prove Injurious, and these simple remedies, if applied at once, will soon etlect a cure. CiHiiina Celery: We all know what a delicious relish celery is when eaten raw with a little salt, but few of our readers may be aware that it makes an excellent dish when cooked. At the ltetter class of restaurants it is not rare to find in the bill of fare Cream of Celery. A bowl of this, eaten with bread or crackers, is a delicious and nutritious lunch, with nothing else. This cream of celery is a diluted form of puree of celery, used as a sauce for game, and the American Agrieulturitt thus tells us how to make it: Cut white celery fine, and stew with a little water. pepper and salt, in a covered dish, until it will form a pulp; then milk is added, or three parts milk and one of cream ; boil for a few minutes, and pass through a sieve, rubbing through all but the coarser parts of the celery. Heat again and thicken with a little flour, stirred up with cold milk. If milk is used with out cream, then butter may be added. At home, besides the above method, we more frequently cut it in pieces, cook It soft In water, pour off tbe water. and add abundance of sauce, made of cream and a little flour, or drawn butter when cream happens to be scarce. Potted Shad. The Warren ton Index save: An esteemed friend furnished us with the following seasonable recipe We have tried it and find the fish put up by it excellent every way as pleas ant to the palate as the Northern article of shad sold in hermetically-sealed boxes by our grocers : "Take four good-sized fresh shad cut each into six pieces; lay these in salt water for a few hours; after taking them out of the salt water drain them well. Then take eight teaspoonfuls of salt, one of red pepper, one or black pepper, one of cloves, half teaspoon ful of mace and mix them thoroughly. Sprinkle the fish well with these con diments; lay the fish in a stone jar, and cover it with good strong vinegar. Place a cloth cover over the jar, tie it down, and bake contents over a slow fire from six to eight hours, n hen done set away in a cool place for a few days, and when tbe jar is opened yon will find all bones have disappeard and a nice relish is before you. A GW Cotnpott for P-ttrd Plant. A good compost for geraniums, camelias, roses, and most of the more common house plants may be made of the follow ing ingredients, in the proportions here given : One part clean sharp sand, free from salt. One part mold from perfectly decayed leaves. One part cow manure, well rotted and pulverized. Two parts rich garden soil, or, better well decayed turr mold. About one-fifth of the pot may be tilled with the drainage materials, viz: broken bits of pots, charcoal or oyster shells. If a little moss is placed over these, it will prevent the earth washing through. Ilnmenie breakfast cakes: One pint of fresh oat meal, one quart of water; let it stand over night. In the morning add one teaspoonful of fine salt, one ta- blesoonful of sugar, and the same of baking powder, and one pint of Graham flour. If the above proportions make batter too stiff for griddle cakes, add more water. If gems are preferred in stead of cakes, the addition of a little more flour is all that is required to pro duce an extra article. Dr. Holbrook't Eating for Strength. Graru. Rich savory gravy can be made for any meat, bacon not excepted, by taking a cup of sweet milk (or cold water if you have no milk), dissolve a tablespoonful of corn starch or flour in tbe milk ; add one or more well whlDDed eggs, some butter, and pour slowly into the hot gravy, stirring constantly a minute or two until ready to take up.

Those who imagine, says tbe Pall Mall Gazette, that women are only capa ble of distinguishing themselves in the arts of peace, and that, while displacing men in medicine and as the bar, tney will be obliged to leave military par- suits to tbe coarser sex, should read the account of women who have served in the French army, published in a recent number of the Berne IUuttree de Deux Monde. Tbe most remarkable of these heroines was Therese Sutter, who, dis tinguished not more for bravery than for her freedom of speech, received from the First Consul the flattering nickname of "Sans-gene." The volu bility and emphasis with which she "apostrophized" Napoleon at the siege of Toulon made such an impression on tbe great chief that he reminded her of it years afterward, when be was Em peror and she still a dragoon. Indeed, the ready command of invective for which Therese Sutter was famous throughout her career would seem to suggest that nature had intended ber to wear the robe of the advocate rather than tbe uniform of the soldier. But she was as skillful and daring in the nse of the sword as in that of ber own sharp tongue : for which reason, when the Committee of Public Safety pub lished a decree banishing women from tbe armies of tbe Republic, a siiecial ex ception was made in favor of Therese. After five years' service she retired from the army with a pension of 300 trancs ; put tne monotony ot a peace ful existence told severely upon her. She became once more a dragoon, and from 1805 to 1810 served with her regiment in bpain. in 1810 she was taken prisoner by guerrillas and sent to Lisbon, whence she made her way back, through England, to France. She was present at Waterloo, and did not retire for good until after the Restoration. The Ma tie Dietary Laws. It is strange that the Mosaic pre scriptions for man's diet, cbietly taken from the tabernacle rites, have liecome, by common consent, the bill of fare of civilized society ; with variations, of coarse. In the cities, especially, the main articles of food are those which the Laws of Moses recommended. When in former days people dieted largely on pork, many became bogs themselves, and many diseases still raging among men have been conveyed into the human system by the consump tion of pork, rabbits, hares, aud other animal food which the Law forbids. Physiologists understand well enough the importance of diet, and yet none have gone to the trouble of giving the Mosaic dietary laws a thorough scienti fic examination. Here are the Jews, after 3,000 years, a healthy, intelligent, energetic, and fertile race. Much is said about their lonirevitv.temDerance. charitable disposition, etc. ; still no scientist has taken the trouble to ex amine the food on which this race lived and tbnved. Tbe point is certainly. scientifically, very important. iiutri ean Israelite. The want of proiM-r food ami the sun shine is the cause of three-fourths of the nervous ailments of woman.

Pimples, Eruptions, Rough Kkin The system being pot tinder the in fluence of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a few weeks, the skin be comes smooth, clear, solt, and velvety, and being illuminated with the glow of perfect health from within, true beauty stands forth in all in its glory. Nothing ever presented to the pnblio as a bean- tiner of the complexion ever gave snen satisfaction for tbis purpose as this Discovery. The effects of all medicines which operate npon the system through the medium of tne blood are necessarily somewhat slow, no matter how good the remedy employed. W hue one to three bottles clear the sxin ot pimpies, blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, come dones, or "grabs,'' a dozen may possi bly be required to cure some cases where the system is rotten with scrofu lous or virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these diseases, however, from the common pimple to the worst scrofula is, with the use of this most potent agent, only a matter of time. Sold by all Druggists. COVERED WITH KBCPTIONS.
