THE TIMES "NEW BLOOM FIELD, TA., JANUARY 2, 1877. HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN. t w wr - .- - We Invite cnramnntrstlOTis from ll rron whnirt InterMtAdtn mttrs properly belonsiuir to this de partment. -A tluettlon put to the Connecticut Board T Agriculture. '"Mytfiig sickened, rcftised to eat and 'be comforted ; tongue not much furred, -tail ft little. Bmith wild, give charcoal, but no hankering for charcoal was man ifest. Brown said It was tooth-ache,and weJinocked out one that seemed to crowd. The downcast expression 5f the animal continued, and Jones recom mended bleeding by the excision of the tail. 'No blood ; successive Inches were lopped, until there was little or nothing left for subsequent operators; still little bloodr and no improvement in the de jected expression of the beast. Eyelet hole In the legs were then searched for and cleansed. Williams said it would promote healthier action, but here the pig lay down without much other action of any sort. Peebles now said the case was . critical, and advised to cut a email slit between the earf, (which had been, previously subjected to like trent ment'With the tail,) and to rub In salt. This promised to be 8uccesful, ibut jut at that moment the animal, with char acteristic obstinacy, died. My question Is, ""What didn't I do that I should have done, and what should I have done that Illdn't do, to save that pig V" Value of Ashes. Some of pur readers who have ashes .of which they think they ought to dis pose In order to prevent loss, may in quire to what special crops they should be applied. We reply that for onions,. Ashes are among the very best of fertil izers. For this crop they should be strewed along the rows, lengthwise, and the cultivator should then be run be tween them or else they should be hoed yhand. Applied to Indian corn, a handful to each hill, immediately before a rain, or Just before a crop is hoed, they give good returns. They are also very good for vines in the garden. In most seasons the application to grass land im mediately after the first crop of hay has been removed, has a.very fine effect and insures, a good crop of rowen. There are ways enough in which all the ashes that are.made can be profitably used on the farm, and they certainly ought to be saved and used to the best possible ad van tage. Neto England Homestead. Petroleum as Fuel In Russia. The. demand for English coal in St. Petersburg and in the nor a of Russia is Jikelj ito be considerably reduced, partly in consequence of .the large quantity and .Imported from -Westphalia, and partly from the impetus likely to be given to the . production of mineral oil. An American speculator, who has " struck oil" in the valley ef the Volga, has .taken on lease 350,000 acres of land, which he has already begun to work. He promises to sell petroleum at thirty per cent, under itiie price af that im ported from America, and he has already shown the value of his discovery by supplying some of the steamers on the Volga. It is said that the ccmpanies which have tried heating with he new fuel are perfectly satisfied with the re sult f the.experiment. Liniment for Horses. A correspondent says : Some time ago I was a good .deal worried wiUi a couple of horses which had sore backs. I tried various remedies without success, and was beginning to despair, when the following receipt came to my notlae. " The loner bark of white oak bari; boiled in an iron ketUe (never use a brass) until it is as black as ink ; while boiling drop in piece of alum, about the size of a hen's egg."" This liniment is to be ap plied with a sponge, and is good for any sore or bruise ; in fact it is a safe thing to keep in oue's barn ready for use when occasion requires. As I found this so useful I venture to send it for the benefit of others who may not he In pos session of anything as good. Cup Cake. Hub to a cream three cups !' ugar with one and a half of butter, tir in three-well-l)euten eggs, three cups of sifted flour, and rose-water or essence of lemon, to the taste. Dissolve a tea- pointful of suleratus lu a cup of milk, strain it into the cake, and add three more cups of sifted flour; bake imme diately, in cups or pans. Ctf-Says the Portlund (Oregon) SUuul ml : 4i In this state, as well as in Cali fornia, the potato rot lias made its ap earanee, and agriculturist are fearful that they will not be able to carry the crop through the winter, nnd are there lore desirous of closing out their hold ings ut present low prices."

The dally million will on week .day be a sheet of four prkps, nnd on Sundays a sheet of elRht panel, or Ml broad eolmnus t while the weekly edition will be a sheet of eight page of the name dimension! and character that are already familiar to our friends. Tiikcun will continue to be thestreeuous ad vocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom and In. tegrlty for hollow pretence, Imbecility, and fraud In the administration of public affairs. It will contend for the government of the people by the people and lor the people, as opposed to govern ment In (he ballot box and In the counting of votes, en forced by military violence. It will en. deavor to supply Its readers a body now not far from a million of souls with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy accounts af current events, and will employ fur this purpose a numer ous and carefully selected staff of reporters and corresimnrtents. Its reports from Waslrington, especlall, will be full, accurate and fearless j and It will doubtless continue to deservethe hatred of those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what tnn law does not give them, while It will endeavor to merit the confidence of the public hy defending the rights of the people against the encroachmeuls of unjustified power. The price of the dally Hum will be 65 cents a month or $fl.M a year, post paid, or with the Hun day edition 17.70 a year. The ttmuMT edition alone, eight pages, II .20 a year.
