Pasturing Meadows. A paragraph
Is traveling quite extensively through
our agricultural exchanges, recom
mending pasturing meadows as a means
of making them more productive. It
gives the name of -a practical farmer
who has tried it, and is sure he knows
that pasturing is the preferable prac
tice. All which shows that there are
exceptions to all rules. It is possible
that under some circumstances pastur
ing meadows may be really beneUcial;
but it by no means follows that It is to
be generally recommended. For the
great majority of meadows pasturing
at any season is undoubtedly Injurious.
The roots both of clover aud timothy,
are very liable to injury by the tramp
ling of cattle at any season. Cropping
the herbage diminishes the vigor of the
plant. If fed down in spring, it will
usually be impossible to get more than
half a crop. If fed closely after haying
the natural shelter of the plant and
roots for winter is dertroyed.
The exception to this is where blue
grass or red top completely occupy the
soil. Their fine roots are scarcely in
jured when the ground is dry, and tne
removal of surplus grass leaves the sur
face more open to the warm sunshine
of early sprint?. The Intense cold of
winter on a dry soil will not injure the
roots of such a meadow, and there is a
positive advantage in having the ground
'.ir and open to the warmth and light
u-,prlng.
ftrv much clover is injured by close
louring may be seen by watching the
bad effect which a wagon track has
made across the field. The crowns of
the clover roots will be found broken
down, and the plants make about as fee
ble and stunted a growth as corn plants
would . under similar circumstances.
The hoof of a horse or cow is little less
destructive to clover wherever it touches
Of course. In rich full feed cattle will
wander but little and the injury will be
less; but whoever expects to get the
best result from having his fields seeded
with clover should see to it that stock
of any kind is kept out of them, and
that their crop is allowed to obtain
nearly Its full growth before cutting.

Cms for Canker Worm. A remedy
for the canker worm has been applied
in Illinois with eood effect. A table-
spoonful of Paris green is mixed with
10 quarts of water, and this is sprinkled
over the tree affected at the time the
worms are all hatched, which is early
in June, by means of a large syringe or
a force pump. Where there is a large
orchard a square tank is made capacious
enough to hold several Darrele, wmcn
is placed on a wagon ; and a case is
mentioned where 250 bearing trees
were sprinkled in half a day aud every
worm killed. The application is made
so early in the season that the fruit is
not injured and rains quickly wasn
away all the poison. It is rare that a
second application is required, and the
trees immediately become thrifty and
the fruit ripens perfectly sound. The
question arises now why this remedy
would not be equally effective with the
curculio bark louse and all other ene
mies of fruit trees, not excepting those
terrible scourges, the borers. It is cer
tainly well worth trying. But one
thing is to be noted, namely, that much
of the Paris green offered last year was
so adulterated as to be innoxious for
any purpose, and before one uses the
drug he should be certain that it is gen
uine. Western Reserve Han. The
remedy, while effectual in destroying
most insects which bite and masticate,
will not affect suctorial insects such as
bark lice, etc. The curculio cannot well
be fought without such poisons, be
cause it affects principally the fruit,
into which it thrusts its snout. The
proportion of green which it would
swallow in puncturing the fruit would,
of course, be small, while the use of
such a poison on fruit should not be en
couraged under any circumstances.
There is a safe and legitimate field for
the employment of the poison, and the
canker-worm may be tackled with it
without danger, ir tne orchard is t is
taken by surprise and his trees are over
run by the worm before he is aware of
its presence. The careful orchard ist
will, however, never need to use such
a remedy, but will prevent the worms
from getting on to his trees. Ed.
Boot Crops. On free working land,
for the use of stock, carrots, sugar beets
and rutabagas may be cultivated with
more profit on the same quantity of
land than any ottier crop. An acre in
carrots, wisely managed, will be as
likely to yield five hundred bushels as
an acre in potatoes to produce one hun
dred bushels, while carrots, Dusnei ror
bushel, are worth more ror stock tnan
potatoes. It is true an acre of carrots
will cost more for cultivation than an
acre of potatoes : but the seed of pota
toes cost many times more than that
of carrots. If the ground is prepared
in the fall by manuring and plowing,
and then thrown up in ridges two feet
apart in the spring and left laying until
the weeds have germinated, then with
a hoe and steel rake subdue the weeds
before planting, there will be but little
more trouble from this source. The
seed must be of last year's growth. I'ut
it in a bag and bury it in the ground a
few inches deep so that It will germi
nate before planting. When this oc
curs, roll it in plaster or dry soil and
drill it in. Put some radish seed among
it which grows much quicker than car
rots, and marks the rows so that weed
ing may commence before you can
scarcely see the carrot plants.
CcmxG off Lower Limbs. It is i
verv common error, and a- very injur!
ous one to cut off large limbs near the
bodv of a tree. We meet with mutila
ted fruit trees all over the country
which have suffered in this way from
the use of axe or saw. Forest trees that
are hollow, furnishing habitation In
their trunks for squirrels and other an
imals and birds, should teach a lesson
showing the danger and folly of remov
ing large limbs from the tree's trunk.
Hotting is almost certain to follow, for
the wound is too large to heal over, and
sufficient care is seldom taken to cover
the surface with sufficient protection to
keeb out moisture in the atmosphere.
And besides, the growing tree itself
keeps the wound moist, I he conse
quence is that decay sets in and event
ually the trees become rotten at the
heart, and the whole becomes injured
and losses much of its vitality.
The Most Profitable Hoo. The
most profitable hog is that which will
grow you the most pounds of pork at
ten months old for a given amount of
food. This will require an early ma
turing breed, and one that utilizes its
food to the greatest extent. The Berk
shire, or Essex, or Suffolk, In health,
will do this, but either of the two are
thought, by many, to be more hardy
than the latter. The Berkshire, all iii
all will lay on as many pounds of food
for the food consumed as any breed yet
found.
Meadows. No stock should be al
lowed to wander over the meadows.
This is doubly injurious. It destroys
the grass and spoils the appetite of the
animals for dry feed. Nothing is gained
but much is lost by this practice. The
ground is also "poached," and quag
mires are formed in low springy spots
wnere tne nrst grass appears.
Carbolic acid is being used in Eng
land as a preventive and cure for the
cattle disease. An Essex farmer in
forms the London Time that he had
used carbolic acid freely; and that out

lost one. But the disease, at last ac
counts, was napptiy disappearing, and

Mr. C. S. Peirce, in an interesting ar
ticle on the laws of errors oi Observa
tion, and the nature of the so-called
personal equation, gives the results of
some experiments made upon an en
tirely untrained observer, a yonng man
about eighteen yean of age, who had
had no previous experience whatever
in observations. He was required to
answer a tugnal consisting of a sharp
sound like a rap, his answer being
made by tapping upon a telegraph ope
rator's tpT. nicelr adjusted. Both the
original rap and the observer's tap
were recorded by means of a delicate
chronoecope, and five hundred obser
vations were made on every week day
during a month. It was found that on
the first day the observations were
scattered through a very large range of
error, the difference in time between
the records of event, and of the obser-
ratinn varvinir in fi. twtween the
extreme values from 016 to 0-98 of a
second. The personal equation proper
on the second day was between 0-3 and
0 9 oil second, and irom uiav um
steadily decreased until it amounted
only to one seventh of a second ; it
then gradually increased until the
twelfth day, when it amounted to v-
of a second. While this vanation in
personal equation occurred, the range
of error or discordance was constantly
decreasing, until on me iwm-iuiuiu
day the probable error of the result
did not exceed one eightieth of a sec
ond. This is considered to clearly de
monstrate the value of such practice in
training the nerves for observation ;
and he recommends that transit obser
vers be kept in constant training by
means of similar observation of an ar
tificial event, which can be repeated

A Xetc PUmt for the Dooryard.
Among the plants distributed this year
from the botanic garden in vv alding
ton, savs the Star, is the aralia paufri
fera. This plant produces the beauti
ful substance known as rice paper ; it
has soft, downy, palmate leaves; it
grows ten feet high, with a stem lour
inches in diameter, full of white pith
like the elder; in a full grown speci
men the pith is about one inch in dia
meter. It is divided into pieces three
inches long, and by the aid of a sharp
instrument is unrolled, forming the
thin narrow sheets known as rice pa
per, greatly used by the Chinese for
drawing ngures oi plants ana animais,
and also for making artificial flowers.
Until about 1850, the source of this
substance was unknown to scientists.
The Chinese, on inquiry, gave very
fanciful figures and descriptions or it,
illustrating the fact that then, as now,
"for wavs that are dark, and for tricks
that are vain, the heathen Chinee is
peculiar." It was first introduced from
the island of Formosa to Europe, at
Kent gardens, in 1853 ; from there it
haa been widelv disseminated. It is
almost naturalized in some parts of
Australia; in the Southern States and
perhaps California, it will flourish. As
an outdoor ornamental foliage plant, it
is well worthy of cultivation in any
part of the country.
A Spitting Snake. There is a danger
ous snake, not uncomman about Bed-
juella, West Africa, called by the na
tives naje neje, ana oy tne roixugese
cutpedira. It is small in size and re
markable from its habit of spitting
when interfered with. The saliva is
ejected to considerable distances, and
- ... 1 1 - i -. i i
is said to cause oununees n it toucues
the eyes. One of the snakes was cap
tured bv natives and brought to where
some English miners were at work. It
was teased oy a miner wno was stana
in? over the cage, which was standing
on the ground, and retaliated by a dis
charge of spittle. Some of the liquid
entered one of the miner's eyes, and
though the eye was immediately washed
out with water, it was very much irri
tated for several days. The snake was
killed before any experiments coma be
made with it bv the scientific Superin
tendent of the mine ; he has, however,
no doubt of the miner's statement and
that of his companions, corroborated
as it is by the testimony of the natives
and the Portuguese.
Sham Coffee. We learn from a state
ment in the Journal of the them tea I
Society that sham coffee is manufac
tured from tough dough, squeezed into
little molds and baked until the color
becomes dark enough to deceive the
eye. Keal coffee berries, when small
and worthless, are improved in color
by rolling them about with leaden bul
lets in a cask. The gieen berries, too,
are treated by a coloring matter. In
coffee sold ready ground, the difficulty
of detecting adulterations is increased;
beans, beet root, carrots, ana carrot-
like roots are roasted and mixed in
large quantities with the genuine ar
ticle. In the south of Europe, espe
cially in the provinces of Austria, tags
are roasted in enormous quantities and
sold as coffee.
Purification of Suloiiide of Carbon,
Instead of the usual method of puri
fication with mercury salts, S. Kern re
commends the nitrate of lead, pulver
ized and mixed with a little metallic
lead. 1 he bisulphide is shaken with
fresh quantities of the salt as long as
it continues to blacken it : then it is
decanted and distilled. The affinity of
lead for sulphuretted hydrogen and
sulphur in general leads us to believe
that Mr. Kern's method will prove a
good one. Strips of bright metallic
copper will also soon remove the color
and much of the odor from bisulphide
of carbon. Unfortunately exposure to
light causes both odor aud color to re
turn. Ahtorption ofOsyrjen hy Plants in tiie
Dark. According to Deherain, leaves
kept in a confined atmosphere in dark
ness will absorb the whole of the oxy
gen, and still continue to give off car
bonic acid, the resistance to asphyxia
varying with the species. The rapidity
of growth and energy of respiration of
Elanto are both favored by obscure
eat ; and it is shown that the internal
combustion, by the absorption of oxy
gen and emission of carbonic acid, is
the origin of part of the heat necessary
to the elaboration of new nmximaia
principles in the plant.

. The Irreproachable Wat to Broil
a Steak. First, see that the fire Is clear
and not too much of it; open wide all
the drafts, to carry off all the smoke
that is made during the process of broil

and quite clean, rub it well with whit
ing or chalk, lay on your steak. xDo
not pound it, nor, after it is on the fire,
stick a fork into it, or the juice will
escape. Neither salt nor pepper it ; do
that on the dish. Throw a little salt on
the fire, and put over the steak ; place
the gridiron close on the range for the
first few minutes, to carbonize the sur
face, then turn It over quickly, to car

place two bricks on their edges, and
rest the gridiron on them. The steak
should be turned repeatedly and care
fully, and when it feels rather firm to
the touch it is rare, and if so liked it
should be taken off. laid on a hot dish,
on which one and one-half ounces of

half teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of
white pepper and one tablespoon ful of
chopped parsley, wen mixea ; lay me

other. Serve immediately.
Old Cans. The Uousekeeixr gives
the following suggestions for utilizing
old tin cans. Take off the top of the
can, punch holes on opposite sides near
the rim, put in a wire bail ; and you
have a little bucket, which may serve
for a paint pot, to keep nails in, or
other handy purposes. Take off the
top. cut to the proper shape, and fasten
on a handle by means of a screw through
a bole in the bottom, and a useful scoop
may be made. A saucepan for small
messes may be made by cutting down a
can, leaving a strip to be bent at right
angles, and turned around a stick, to
serve as a handle. A coarse grater for
crackers, etc., is easily formed from a
piece of tin fastened to a board. The
boles in the grater should be made with
an old three cornered nie.
How to Make Tea. In China tea is
never decocted, it is infused; and the
reason is that the acrid quality con
tained in the stems is not liberated In a
aulck "drawing." Take a porcelain
pot for tea Sevres china if you have it,
and not earthenware scald it with
freshly boiling water, then to every
heaping teaspoonful of tea add a break
fast cup of water; when the tea has
drawn exactly five minutes, and no
more, pour all off and drink with sugar
only. The leaves are very useful after
ward for carpet-sweeping, but tea ama
teurs rarely try sucn an acnu prepara

flavor of which must be disguised wltn

Delmokico Pudding. One quart of
milk; three even tablespoonmis or corn

perhaps less time will do if the oven is
hot. Beat the whites of the eggs with
six tablespoonfuls of sugar ; put it over
the top and return the pudding to the
oven till it is a nice light brown. No
Cookixo Potatoes. Many persons
in preparing potatoes for cooking pare
off a thick slice from the surface instead
of digging out the eyes. The skinning
process is all wrong, as the strength of
the vegetable lies near the surlaee tne
starch growing less abundant as the
centre is approximated. The best way
is to scour them well, and either boil or
bake them with their skins on.
If okioxs are sliced and kept in a
sick-room, they will absorb all the at

cation has also proved eflectual in the
case of snake-bites.

I said if there were only a recipe a
sure and certain recipe for making a
cheery person, we would all be glad to
try , mere is no sucn recipe, anu
perhaps if there were, it is not quite
certain that we would all try it. it
would take time and trouble. Cheerl
ness cannot be taught like writing, "In
twenty lessons;" nor analyzed and
cUssfied and set forth in a manual,
such as "The Art of Polite Conversa
tion," or "Etiquette Jiaue .r-asy ior
Ladies and Gentlemen.' It lies so
deep that no surface rules of behavior,
no description ever so minui ui " "
it is or is not. does or does not do, can
ever enable a person to "take it up" and
"master" It, like a trade or a stuuy. x
that It la. in the outset, a good
gift from God at one's birth, very much
dependent on one's body, and a thing
to be more profoundly grateful for
than all tnat genius ever inspired, or
talent ever accompnsneo. i nia nat
ural, spontaneous, inevitable cheeri
ness. This, if we are not born with it,
we cannot have. But next best to this
Is deliberate. Intended, and persistent
cbeeriness, which we can create, pan
cultivate, and can foster and cherish.
that after a rew years tne worm
never suspect that It was not a heredi
tary gift handed down to ns from gen
erations. To do this we have only to
watch the cheeriest people we know,
and follow their example. We shall
see, first, that the cheery person never
minds or ir ne minus, never mj
word about small worries, vexations,
perplexities. Second, that he is brim
ful of sympathy In other people's glad
ness; he Is heartily, genuinely glad of
every bit or goou iuck orjuj amcu
comes to other people. Thirdly, he has
a keen sense of humor, and never lest
any droll thing escape him; ne minus
it worth while to laugh, and to make
everybody about him laugh ; at every
amusing 'thing, no matter bow small,
he has his laugn, anu a guou ui -y
laugh, too, and tries to make everybody
share it. Patience, sympathy and hu
morthese are the three most manifest
traits in the cheery person. But there
is something else, wmcn is more an
emotion than a trait, more a state oi
feeling than a quality of mind. 1 his is
the secret, so far as there Is a secret;
this Is the real point of difference be
tween the mirth of the witty and sar
castic person, which does us no good.
and the mirth or tne cneery person.
which "doeth good like a medicine."
Somebody once asked a great painter,
whose pictures were remarkable for
their exquisite and beautiful coloring :
Pray, Mr. , how do you mix your
colors?"
"With brains, madam with brains,"
growled the painter. His ill-nature
spoke a truth. All men bad or might
have the colors he used ; but no man
produced the colors he produced.
So I would say of cbeeriness. Pa
tience, sympathy.humor are the colors;
but patience may be mere doggedness
and reticence, sympathy may be wordy
and shallow and selfish, and humor
may be only a sharp perception of the
ridiculous. Only when they are mixed
with love love, three times love do
we have the true good cheer of genuine
cheery people. St, Xichola.

to make its appearance from the mint

the sun and dial, underneath which the
woids "Mind your Business," and on
the sides "Fugio" and "1787." On the

which is stamped "United States," and
in the center "We are One." It has al

Catarrh is a common disease so
common that snuinne, spitting, ana
blowing; of the nose, meet us at every
turn on the street. Your foot slips in
the.io nasty discharges on the sidewalk
and in the public conveyance; and its
disagreeable odor, contaminating the
breath or the amicteu, renders them of
fensive to their associates. There is the
highest medical authority for stating
that with fully one-hair, if not two-
thirds, of those afflicted with Consump
tion of the Lungs, the disease com
mences as Catarrh in the nose or bead,
the next step being to the throat anil
bronchial tubes lastly to the lungs.
How important then to give early and
prompt attention to a Catarrh ! To cure
this loathsome disease correct the sys
tem by usine Dr. Fierce s Golden .Medi
cal Discovery, which tones it up.cleansea
the DIood, anu heals the diseased glands
by a specific influence upon them ; and
to assist, use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
with Dr. Fierce s asal Douche. Ibis
is the only wav to reach the apper and
back cavities where the discharge comes
from. -No danger from this treatment,
and it is pleasant to use. The two med

These medicines have undoubtedly per
formed more cures of Consumption than
any other remedy known to the Ameri
can public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain no
thing which can be Injurious to tha hu
man constitution, uther remedies ad
vertised as cures for Consumption, pro
bably contain opium, which is a some
what dangerous drug in all cases,and if
taken freely by consumptive patients,
it must do great, injury ; for its tendency
is to confine the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make a
cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup is warranted not to contain a
particle of opium: It is composed of
powerful but harmless herbs, which act
on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood,
and thus correct all morbid secretions,
and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by
which Consumption can bo cured, and
as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only
medicines wmcn operate in this way, it
is obvions they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each
bottle or this invaluable medicine is ac
companied by full directions. Dr.
Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
