C'BOb-BKCEDiKa Orao. A maxim
which farmers reneraJlr accept a an
axiom ia, that sowing wheat of differ
ent qualities together, they will so hy
bridize as to produce a mixed breed;
while even a little observation would
teach the error of thin conclusion,
and that really no hybridization takes
place at all, and that the mixture or
seed produces the unmitigated evil of
mixing wheats which perhaps ripen at
diflerent periods, or perhaps require
different treatment when they come to
be reduced to flour. A little study of
the nature of plants would seem to be
necessary to a knowledge of their
proper treatment during their growth.
Of the flowers of plants some are male
and some female. la some the stain i
nate and pistillate flowers occupy dif
ferent parts of the same plants, as in
Indian corn. In the larger number of
plants the male and female organs ma
ture at tne same time In the same
flower; and of these, some are subject
to self fertilization, and others to cross
fertilization. Such plants as pease
beans, wheat, and barley, hare the
male and female organs within them
selves, and are not subject to cross-fertilization
and therefore it is that w heats
do not mix their qualities at ail by
being planted together; and as it is ob
jectionable for other reasons it should
never be done. The leaf or flower
which protrudes from the glume ol
wheat U ueither an anther, a pistil nor
a stamen, and neither emits nor re
ceives the fertilizing pollen.
Cheap Gates as a Substitute for
Bars. A writer in the Rural Ilime
seys: ! have just made gates to re
place some old fashioned pairs of bars
that I am heartily tired ol opening and
shutting. They are cheap, curable
and very easily made. Each gate is
twelve leet in length by four leet iu
height. Five boards lour inches wide
are used, beside battens and braces.
Battens should be placed on both sides,
making three thicknesses to nail
through. It docs not take more than
thirty-three feet of boards, worth per
haps sixty cents, to make each gate.
Add to that ten cents for nails, and the
value of one hour of your time, and
vou have the whole exjieiise. A gate
of this kind will outlast a tramed one
costing 4, and as no hinges are used,
that expense is saved also. It is held
in position by means of a stake driven
in the ground four or live inches f rom
the post ; not in a straight line, but a
little more than the thichness of the
gate toward the driveway so when
opened the gate can be turned halfway
around and be parallel with the drive
way. It is kept a few inches from the
ground by a strip, nailed to both stake
and post, on which one end rests when
shut, and on which it slides half its
lenirth and then sw ings round as on a
pivot when opened. The strip is usu
ally placed under the second board, In
a space arranged for it, by cutting
away two ol the battens. This strip
takes the place of hinges.
Swine. The systpm of feeding should
bv auanted to the breed, io pig can
erow rauidlv on poor food. A well
bred pig will grow rapidly on good
food a poor bred pig will not; and
this is the real essential difference be
tween them. Jfyou starve both, the
well-bred pig is no better than the
other. Let your pigs have all they
will eat and digest. The younger the
pig the more it will eat iu proportion
to live weight, and the more it will
gain in proportion to the food con
sumed. W e commence to feed pigs
when two weeks old, placing a little
trough where the sow cannot get at it.
The oil's are specially fond of boiled
beets or mangles, mixed w ith cooked
corn meal or tine wheat bian. Wean
gradually, at from six to eight weeks
old. Until from three to four months
old. the pigs can hardly be fed too lib
erally. Alter that, and when running
out at pasture, if they are unmistaka
bly getting too fat, "ease off on the
grain. As a rule, however, all young
well-bred pigs should have a little grain
In addition to pasture, aud slops of the
house and dairy. See thar, the pigs
have access to Iresh w ater. They may
not drink much, but it should always
be provided for them, no matter how
sloppy their f3od may be. Provide
ashes, salt, sulphur and charcoal, keep
the pens and troughs clean.
How Weeds are I'kopagated. A
writer in an exchange saj s the great
est evil to which farmers are exjiosed
by patronizing traveling threshers, is
the carrying of foul seeds from one
farm to anotner. If one larmer raises
red root or Canada thistles, the seeds
are sure to be carried all through the
neighborhood by these threshers and
clover hullcrs. The remedy suggested
is lor good, tidy larmers to club to
getlier and buy a thresher not the
large six or eight horse power, but a
good tread power as now made, with
a level tread, that will thresh two hun
dred bushels a dav. with one team and
three men. "It is l:ir safer," he says,
"more profitable because less extru
sive, costing not more than one-half,
some say not more than one-half, some
say not more than oue-thiru as mucii
per bushel to thresh grain as with the
tiaveling machines; and it relieves the
house ol a small ai my or men. as long
as traveling machines are used Irom
farm to farm, they should be brusheu
and swept Irom top to bottom before
moving from each station. This is the
only precaution that can be taken to
guard against the dissemination of foul
seeds, except the plan above suggested,
Relative Contexts of Different
Sized IIonet Boxes. After weighing
a great many boxes of difierent sizes,
and figuring it all out, I have touud as
a rule, that a box when filled with
newly made comb, and the honey will
be sealed over, will contain three
pounds of honey to every 100 cubic
inches of space contained in the box.
Thus a box ten inches long, rix inches
wide, five inches deep, inside measure,
will contain three hundred cubic inches
of space, and will consequently hold
nine pounds, when tilled as above
stated. This rule holds good with any
size of a box, from about twelve pounds
down to five pounds. Boxes of the
capacity of fifteen to twenty pounds
usually contain a trifle in excess of the
above estimate, while those of twenty
five pounds capacity frequently con
tain two or three pounds iu excess.
Ant one who has a green-house or
warm cellar can have rhubarb any time
in the winter by getting the roots from
out of doors, and planting in these
warm places. They require no light,
but sprout and go on as do potatoes.
Some put barrels over them in the opvn
ground, and then a little strawy ma
nure or leaves around the barrels, and
this brings the stalks forward a few
weeks before they would naturally
come. So little heat starts the growth
that forcing rhubarb is very easy.
The fertility of the soil depends upon
its firmness of particles, since the food
of the plant must enter it in a state of
solution. That is, the mineral matters
must be dissolved in water, and the
rapidity of their solution is in direct
proportion to the extent of their sur
face exposed. Hence, the finer the
particles of earth, the more abundantly
will the plant be supplied with the
necessary elements.
Setting Posts. From many experi
ments made, it appears that the upper
ends of posts, as they grow, when set
in the ground, last much longer than
the butts do. The reason is, that the
pores of the wood of the upper ends,
when turned down, carry out the water
while the pores of the butts carry it
into the wood.

The Principle of the Leach- Tub. From
timeimtuetuorad the ash-leach has been
in use in many civilized, that is. soap
making, countries. Essentially an asii
leach is a veaael tight nongh to hold
wood ashes, but not tijrht enough to
hold water. Being lit at tilled with ashes
water is then poured in gradually, and,
after a time, runs out below, highly
charged with the soluble sale of the
ashes.
But although this machine has been
so long in use the principle on which it
acta due not seem to have been fully
understood nntil quite lately. About
the year 1833 Messrs. Boullay. of Paris,
applied the same apparatus to the man
utacture of pharmaceutical prepara
tions, tinctures, infusions, extracts, etc.,
and it at once became popular with
pharmacentista, under th name of
Boull.tys' Filter, or the displacement
Apparatus. Its mode of operation is
simple; the first portion of liquid ponr
ed in siuks into the powder that is to lie
exhausted and saturates itAelf with the
soluble pans of it. The later additions
of liquid, instead of mixing with the
nrst. drive it down lecture them anu
take iu place, to yield it in turn to the
next portions poured in. 1 hus the nrst
portions of liquid that run from the
bottom ot the niter will, it it lias ueeu
properly manatred. contain nearly all
the soluble matter, and the last will lie
almost unchanged. For example, if au
ounce of powdered ginger be put into a
glass tube, as a small lamp-ctiimiiey,
over the lower end of which a piece of
cotton cloth has been tied, and alcohol
Ite slowly poured through it, the hist
fluid-ounce that comes through will con
tain ahout all the strength of the ging
er. lAMtkiug throueu tne glass we can
watch the whole process, see the tirst
alcohol dissolve the resinous matter of
the ginger, becoming thick aud daik
roloied in consequence,and then falling
down belor the uew colorless alcohol
added above. Popular Science Monthly.
Action of Impure llain Water on Lead
Pipes. in a paper latley read before
the Ameiicau Chemical Society, Pro
fessoi Paul Schweitzer says: The lab
oratory of the university of Missouii is
supplied with rain water, which collect
iu a tank in the upper part of the Scien
tific Building.and iscarned to the work
ing tables of the students by lead pijws,
which are furnished by bias stopcocks.
In usiug this water for ordinary analy
tical work, as, for instance, saturating
it with sulph-hydric acid, it was soou
found to be nn tit for such purposes, on
account of the quantity of metals it had
dissolved after staudiugiu the pipes on
ly a short time. It is a well known fact
that pure water attacks lead much fast
erthau watercontainingacertain quant
ity of mineral salts, and this seems to be
also the case with rain water.wbicb con
tains invariably ammonia, nitrous and
nitric acid: some sulphuric acid was
also found in this water, derived from
the smoke and cinders which tall on the
roof of the building from the coal tires
that heat the rooms. The folowing
quantities of metals were fonnd io oue
United Slates gallon, 231 cubic inches,
of the filtered water, that had stood in
pipes for one mouth : 1"0T9 grains me
tallic zinc. 0'53 grains metallic iron,
3"5u3 grains metallic lead, o OSS grains
metallic copper. 0 04a graius metallic
arseuic. Total, 4 200 graius.
Arsenic, copper, and probably iron,
are derived from the lead pipe, manu
factured from an inferior quality of
leail, and zinc, from the lining of the
tank. In supplying private houses or
institutions with water through a sys
tem of pipes, care should be taken to
find out whether the water to be sup
plied be pure or not: in the former
case, and when rain water is the source
ot supply, as it is in many sections of
our State, lead pipes should be discard
ed, and tiu-liued lead pipes substituted
for them.
Ttie Effect of Physical Culture. An
official inquiry into "the results of gym
uastic exercises has recently beeu in
stituted at a military gymnastic school
in Frauce. The results of the inquiry,
which extended over six months, es
tablished : 1. That the muscular force
is increased, on an average, 15 to 17 per
cent, aud occasionally from 15 to 80 per
cent, while the force has, as we might
expect, a tendency to liecome equal on
both sides of the body. 2. That the
capacity of the chest is increased by
oue sixth at the lowest. 3. That the
weight of the individual is increased
from S to 7 iter cent, and occasionally
from 10 to 15 per cent, while the bulk
of the body is diminished, thus show
ing that urotit is confined to the diu
cular system. The increase of muscu
lar force was generally confined to the
first three mouths ot the course. I'ur
ing the late moiety a serious diiuinu
tion usually occurred : and here the
dynamometer gave positive indication
of the necessity of moderating or sus
pending the exercises.
HeXals Absorbed by Plants. Profes
sor P. B. Wilson has show n that plants
take up free silica Irom the soil, in the
torm of diatom shells, winch are de
posited in the stalks of the plants. In
a Dutch technical journal, Dr. De Loos
states that vegetables are capable of
taking up metallic particles from the
soil. Consulted by a family suffering
from lead poisoning, he found that they
resided iu the lieu htoi hood of a place
where the mauutactrre of white lead
had been carried ou some years previ
ou sly, aud they partook of vegetables
grow n on the spot, Dr. De Joos there
upon examined specimens of red Iteet,
endive, and canuts. and tound lead in
all. In a beet weighing 1.4:1 lbs., he
found the equivalent of 015 grain of
metallic lead ; in six carrot, weighing
together 0 6 lbs., he found 2' grains ot
lead. The metal was also present iu
endive; and the ashes of the plants
contained traces of copper, which, he
thinks, existed as an impurity in the
lead.
A Xew Use fur Iron. One of the most
incomprehensible discoveries if it be
true, which is questionable that we
have ever encountered is announced in
a recent French journal by M. M.isnie.
He says that the mere introduction of
ao iron bar, in the box in which barley,
nee, bran, biscuit, and like farinaceous
victuals are stored, is sunn-lent to pre
vent either the ravages of decay or the
attacks of insects. Full details of the
experimental investigation are given.
An iron bar three pounds in weight is
reputed to have protected forty gallons
ot grain : and certain biscuits were pre
served for seven mouths in excellent
condition, while others, under like cir
cumstances but without the iron, were
totally destroyed by weevils.
Effect of Draining an Orchard. The
Gardener s Chronicle once related a case
of an orchard of apples aud pears,
plums aud cherries, which was planted
in a heavy clay, trenched down to an
iron pan on which it rested. For a few
years the trees grew very well ; that is
to say, as long as their roots were near
the surface, aud got the warmth of the
summer's sun; but as they advanced
downward the growth became small
and by degrees less and less, till at last
the trees ceased to grow, and nothing
flourished except gray lichens, with
which the branches soon became cov
ered.

Lobster as a Food. Lr. Antie's
mantle as an inquirer Into the action of
alcohol seems to have fallen upon his
successor, Dr. Lauder Brunton, whom
we find thug discoursing upon the
rationale of a dram "If the stomach Is
sensitive an irritation will cause causea.
which would only produce apetite if
were less irritable, and vice versa, a
sluggish stomach will be benefitted by
an amount ol irritation which one
normally sensitive could not bear. Thus
we knew that in some cases articles of
food, such as lobster, which in normal
stomachs frequently causes indigestion
and nausea, aro readily digested, while
ordinary food is not digested. The
stimulus wlilcn an oruinary aiei gives
to the stomach seems here to be insuffi
cient to excite the secretion of gastric
juice, while the more irritating sub
stances lo so, auu are uigesieu, uiicau
of causing over irritation and vomiting
as iii the normal condition. But if this
explanation be correct, how is it that
we take a class of spirits with our
lobster to digest it?' Is not this adding
fuel to fire and increasing the irritating
effect of the lobster on the stomach by
that uf the alcohol f Bv no means the
fibres of lobster are probably in them
selves no more irritating than fibres of
beef, but only less soluble in gastric
juice, so that they retain their form and
hardness instead of being reduced to a
pulp, and by thus exerting for a longer
time a methauU-al irritating action
upon the stomach they produce nausea
and indigestion, not immediately after
they have been swallowed, but in the
course ol some hours. If, however, an
increased secretion of gastric juice be
produc-d by means of a glass ot spirits
swallowed at the same time with the
lohstcr. we mav expect that digestion
will take place more rapidly, the fibres
will be dissolved, and the prolapsed ir
ritation of the stomach being avoided
no nausea will ensue.' 7 he cotmin
Decoction of Sarsaparilla. The
peculiar medicinal powers of Rarsapit-
rilla have lone been acknowledged, and
it has justly been ranked amongst the
most valuable remedial agents wnicn
nature has furnished us with. Iu
scurvy, scrofula, obstinate-rheumatic
affections, and in cutaneous eruptions,
it has been employed with very great
success. Sarsaparilla is atiininistereu
in decoction, syrup, powder and es
sence; but experience has proved that
the concentrated essence is the most
convenient as well as the best prepara
tion. The decoction, when properly
prepared, is a uselul mode of taking
this medicine, but, as it will not keep
for more thau one or two days, it has
its objections. We subjoin an excellent
mode of preparing the decoction : Take
of sarsaparilla root, sliced, four ounces;
boiling w ater, four pints. Mwrerate for
four hours in a vessel lightly covered
and placed near the fire; then take out
the sarsaparilla, and bruise it. Keturn
it airain to the liquor, aud macerate iu
a similar manner for four hours more,
first adding of raspings of guaiacum
wood, bark of assafras root, liquorice
root, bruised, of each, one ounce; bark
of mezereon root, three uraenms.
Finally- strain. It is commonly given
in coniunction w ith some mild mer
curial pill. The dose is a quarter of a
pint, repeated three or lour times a uay,
or half a pint twice a day.
Dtsn-TowEus AND Disii-CLOTns. Xo
articles in kitchen use are so likely to
be neglected and abused as the dish
cloths and dish-towels, and iu washing
these, ammonia, if properly useu, is a
greater comfort than anywhere else
Put a teasMonful Into the water in
which these cloths are, or should be
washing every day; rub soap on the
towels. Put them in the water; let
them stand a half hour or so, then rub
them out thoroughly, rinse faithfully,
and I'ry out-doors in clear air and sun,
and dish-cloths and towels need never
look gray and dingy a jierpetual dis
comfort io all housekeeiiers.
This is occupying more space, per
haps, than many w ill think is needed,
to sound the praises of so simple a
thing; but let these directions be fol
lowed, and we w ill leave it all good
housekeepers to say if we have said
more than the results will warrant.
We should add that all water and suds
in which ammonia is used should be
saved to water plants or put about trees.
What to Eat. The London Lancet
gives some useful advice as to how one
should eat and drink during exceptional
heat. Very little tea or coltee, plenty
of milk with fish, and but little meat,
and that well cooked, and a moderate
indulgence iu iced drinks, are what the
Lancrt recommends. Spirits aud wines
it interdicts. It should be known that
frequent and excessive thirst is often
aggravated by an injudicious consump
tion of ice. Such extreme thirst will
lie immediately allayed by hot drinks, a
fact which has been often verified. It
cannot be too strongly insisted on that
over-feeding and over-drinking are
most pernicious, esjiecially either be
fore or after prolonged or considerable
exertion. The principal meal of the
day should be taken at sunset.
Ironing Shirts. A correspondent
sends this hint: One of the nicest
laundresses gave me this fragment of
experience in reference to starching
shirts. She had noticed that the bosoms
never blister if she starches them on
the right side, but if they are wrong
side out when starched they are apt to
do so. She pours her mixed starch info
boiling water, instead of pouring hot
water on the starch, and in that way
never uses more starch than is necessary.
Falling Hair. A correspondent of
the Meilical and Svrgical Ii-jorter asks :
"What will prevent the falliugof hair?"
I have used, for the past ten years, in
my own case, and prescribed frequently
li'r others, the following with complete
satisfaction : Glycerine and tincture
capsicum, each two ounces, oil of bar
gainor, one drachm; mix and perfume
to suit. This is to be the only dressing
tor the hair. Wash the head occasion
ally with soft water aud fine soap.
Chicken Fricassee. Take three
onions, one schalot, two cloves of garlic,
one bunch of parsely, one of carrot, all
to be chopjied separately ; pepper and
salt. In a sauce-pan put one-quarter of
a pound of butter, aud brown with the
above; when done, take two chickens
cut up, pour in beef stock to cover, cook
slowly for one hour, then pour in a
large glass of sherry. Add the yolks
of two eggs, and a large tablespoonful
of flour, to thicken.
Cocoanct Cup Cake. Take three
cotleecupfuls of flour, one of butter,
two of sugar, one or cocoanut, one ot
milk, half a cup of brandy, the juice
and grated rind of a lemon, seven eggs,
one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half
a teaspoon of soda, two teaspoonful. of
the extract of bitter almonds, or about
fourteen of the almonds blanched and
pounded; this quantity will make two
loaves; bake iu shallow pans.
To Cleax Plate. Take an ounce each
of cream of tartar, muriate of soil a, and
alum, aud boil iu a gallon or more of
water. After the plate is taken out and
rubbed dry, it puts on a beautiful and
silvery whiteness. Powdered magnesia
may be used dry for articles slightly
tarnished, but if very dirty it must be
used wet and then dry.
Brown Bread 1 rppiNO. naif a

word could he decipher. He took It to

The Doaster.Tvo men, Joseph and
Andrew, stood leaning over a garden
gate near a small village.
"Look at those heads of cabbage,
said Joseph. "Their size is something
quite beyond rommt.n. I don't know
that I ever saw any so large."
"Oh." said Andrew, who was a boas
ter, "they are not worth talking about!
In tiie course of my travels, I once saw
a cabbage as big as the pai son's house
yonder." ... .
Joseph, who was a smith by trade,
replied, "That is saving a great deal ;
but I once worked at a big pot which
was at least as large as a rhurcti."
"What is that yon sayt" cried An

Expensive dress ou the part of women
is one of the extravagances of the day,
yet not the leading one. There is much
senseless competition in omp and
show, till the "necessities" of the house
hold are so extended that modern in
comes are inadequate to the require
ments of the ordinary circles oi society.
People live at their front windows
rather than iu their rooms. Madame
who resides on the square looks conde
scendingly ou Madame who resi les in
a side street, and the "Brown Stone"
family envy their neighbors the posses
sion of a new style of monogram upon
their lace curtains, and put an extra
row of embroidery uon their own
hangings from sheer spirit of revenge
if nothing more. The extra row costs
money ; and thus it goes. Progressive
Americanism is responsible for this,
and it is quite time to turn backward
and become sensible in our manner of
living. False show brings its own
penalty, and bankrupt merchants swell
the list of unhappy householders, simply
because retrenchment, even while in
solvent, is looked upon with distrust,
and the man who dares to live as he
should do. without regard to bis next
door neighbor, may set a good example
by studying his own interests and living
for his own comfort, notfor appearances.

Upon the 8th ot April last he married a

K. F. Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron is
an infallible cure for dyspepsia!
Oyspepsia is the most perplexing of
all human ailments. Its symptoms are
almost infinite in their variety, and the
f'Tiorn and despondent victims of the
disease often fancy themselves the prey,
in turn, of every known malady. This
is due, in part, to the close sympathy
which exists between the stomach and
the brain, and In part, also, to the fact
that any disturbance of the digestive
function necessarily disorders the liver,
the bowels and the nervous system, and
affects, to some extent, the quality of
the blood.
Kunkel's Bitter Wine of Iron never
fails to cure. Symptoms of dyspepsia
are loss of appetite, wind and rising of
the food, dryness of the mouth, heart
burn, distension of the stomach and
bowels, constipation, headache, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness and low spirits. Try
the great remedy and be convinced of
its merit. Get the genuine. Take only
