HOME AND FARM.
Agricultural Items.
Most of the disesscs of cattle are cau
scd by rong treatment loo mucli feed at
one time soo little at another to rich at one
tine too poor at another. If cattle aad
horse were fed and watered and used
properly th re w ould be little disease.
Make a shallow basin in the pound
not far from the kitchen and fill with coal
ashes a is it made and on this throw night
slops wash water etc An immense
amount of the very best of fetizers can be
made in this way.
Pure air and water arc of even more
importance than exercise in the care of
young animals. They arc often huddled
together in houses altogether insufficient in
size and in which the atmosphere is al-
most constantly impure from the product
ofrespitation.
To clear cistern water acid two ounces
powdered alum and too ounces borax to a
twenty-borrel cistern of rain water ihat is
blackened or oily and in a few hours the
sediment will settle and the water be clari-
fied and fit for washing and even for cook-
ing purposes.
Trees standing in grass if near a hog
pen barnyard or other rich spot often
grow and bear fruit equal in every respect
to those which have received the very best
cultivation; which fact would certainly in-
dicate that trees which fail to bear well in
grass fail chiefly because they are starv-
ed -r- A-
From carefully prepared estimates it
is ascertained that the wheat crop in Ohio
and Indiana bids fair to be unusually fine.
Reports from almost every country in these
States have been made and nearly all of
them are in the same tenor. The apple
and peach prefect however is ery
poor
If after the wool has grown to some
considerable length sheep or lambs become
annoyed with lice or ticks wash the lambs
in a strong decoction of tobacco. Another
way is to take a pair of bellows and inhale
tobacco smoke then blow the smoke with
a considerable force among the ticks. This
will prove instant death.
The liquid yielding of animals are
worth more good authority say one-sixth
more pound for pound than the so'id ex-
crements and Uiev are saved with ereater
xaje.by.ihc best European farmers and
parucners. All the leaks in tne stable are
not in the roof; those often in the floor are
quite as objectionable and are the caue of
a great deal of waste.
In preparing ground for squashes
put a liberal amount of manure in each hill
and cover it with two inches of soiL Then
cover the whole with coal ashes with which
the whole is filled and the boil on the ma-
nure covered. The seed are then planted
in the ashes directly over the manure. At
each hoeing acatter a fresh suppljr.of ash-
es around the plants and grubs will never
trouble the plants.
Confinement and want of occupation
are among the chief couses why fowls eat
feathers.. The former is often inevitable in
wlhier but the latter can be avoided by
burying some of Iheir grain food in sand
and allowing them to hunt for it which
will afford them pastime and health v occu-
pation. Give them some green food; fresh
meat two or three times a week burnt
liones oyster shells charcoal dear water
and a dean hennery arid if all this doesn't
cure them of the habit w ring their necks
for they are incurable.
Speaking of tanning with the fur on
an English writer tells the Country that he
has a cat's skin pliable as kid free from
smell and the hair still dinging firmly
which to years ago was dressed according
to his receipt which he says Is equally safe
and nnfaLing in all such cases: Nail the
fresh shin tightly and smoothly against the
door keeping the skinning side out Next
with a broad bladcd blunt knife then
scrape all loose pieces of flesh and fat then
rub it much chalk and be not sparing of
labor; when the chalk begins to powder
-and fail off take the skin down nil it with
fin'cJy-grnund alum wrap dosdy together
and keep so for two or three days; at the
end of that time unfold it shake out the
alum and the work is done.
ThejnajorUy of people have no idea
of the great service done to the florLt far-
mer and gardner by the birds and in many
cases they are abused and persecuted to
an unreasonable and crud extent. Each
variety of bird has natural duties to per-
form in the great economy of nature and
if they were all removed from the earth it
would soon be impossible for the human
race to exist; insects would soon become so
numerous that not only vegetation but
every other living tning would soon suc-
cumb to them. Many men of sound sense
and much experience attribute the whole-
sale destruction occasioned by grasshop-
pers; which so short time ago devastated
the entire west to the indiscriminate
nhinning-out" cf birds such as prairie
chickens quail etc which feed almost en-
tirely on insects. Protect the birds; the
small amount of com and fruit yen will
lose in one season is more than compensa-
ted for by the quantity of insects they will
destroy. They are all useful even the
much abused crow has its mission and all
the others are equally worthy of the farm-
er's protection.
CORN'.
Indubitably the best working the com
crop gets is that given before it is planted.
The better the condition of the land at the
start the easier the after-cultivation and
the more profitable the return. The crop
demands and deserves the best treatment.
the best land and the best manures at your
command. It is truly said of it that it is
"the shcet-andior of American f.irmimr."
Large crops pay better too than small
oies in a comparison of cost. While com
is largely a potash plant it requires also
abundant supplies of almost all the inor-
ganic dements combined in the food of
plants. A ailable mineral supplies must
therefore be present in some abundance to
supply the phosphoric add soda lime
and other ingredients essential to its com-
plete growth and maturity. Good barn-
yard manure and ridi composts are equal-
ly serviceable and the crop U one taking
grosser food than the other more dainty ce-
reals. The seed the distanec of planting
whether in hills or drills vary in each lo-
cality; heavier applications of fertilizing
materials being required when dose plant-
ing is adopted. Drill culture is grow ing in
favor the product being larger and the
ease and facility of working greatly jncreas-
ed by the newly improved machines for
planting.
For manuring in the hill a mixture of
five bushds one of salt one of plaster
and one of fine bone-dust is admirable to
give the plant a start.
What one Lemon will Do.
Apiece of lemon upon a corn will re-
lieeitinaday or so. It should be re-
newed night and morning. The free use
of lemon-juice and sugar will always rdieve
a cough. A lemon eaten before breakfast
every day for a week or two will entirely
pi event the feding of lassitude peculiar to
the approach of spring. Perhaps its most
valuable property is its absolute power
of detecting any of the injurious and etcn
dangerous into the composition of so ery
many of the cosmetics and face pouders in
the market. Eyery lady should subject
her toilet powder to this test. Ilace a tea-
spoonful of the suspected paw der in a glass
and add the juice of a lemon. If eflencs-
cence takes place it is an infallible proof
that the powder is dingerovs and iis uc
should be avoided as it will ultimately in-
jure the jkin and destroy the beaut' of the
can "lesion. Conccrd Patriot.
How to maLc Mustang 11 Inc.
As the season for w tne making w ill soon
arrie we copy the following directions
how to make wine from the mustang grape
which arc furnished the Mason News Item
by a correspondent:
Take four bushels of dean picked grapes
put into a barrel and mash them well with-
out breaking the seed. When well mash-
ed add six gallons of water to make them
press well. For the press make a platform
(say 3 leet square) with a strip all around
except where the juice is to runout. Then
I use straw (clean oat or wheat straw) a
long as I can get in the pomace in the
same way we made cider in the old times.
I press them with a leer or jack-screw.
The juice jouget from a barrel will make
forty gallons of wine. Three pounds of
good coarse brown sugar to the gallon
will be as much as jon can put in a barrel
if sweet wine is desired; if not. useless su-
gar and more grape juice. Slake the sugar
in water before putt ng it into the barrel
and be careful to leave room to nut the sugar
all in the barrel; then if not full fill up the
remaining space with water so as to cx-
dude the air then it will begin to ferment
and run nfi" at the bung hole. The barrel
must be tilled up every morningwithwater.
When the wine is done fomenting and set-
tics down so it will stop running off
then draw ofl cleanse jour barrel thor-
oughly with limewater; bum some sulphur
in it to make it sweet then pour your wine
back in the barrel and add one ounce isin-
glass (that which comes in sheets is the
best) cut up fine put in the barrel and stir
with a good strong stick then place the
barrel w here it is to remain dose the bung
ana the wine will be ready for use in four
weeks. Be careful to put in the faucet be-
fore putting the barrel away as it shojld
not be shaken after the isinglass is in if ou
want good wine.
I have used this receipt myself for years
and know if it be strictly followed the
wine will be good.

II urn ait Thorns.
There arc certain disagreeable people in
this w orld who seem to take a spedal de-
light in annoying others by reminding them
of things they would willingly forget
They are human thorns forever torturing
their fellow -men for the sake of torture.
Has a man met with misfortune in his busi-
ness they are forever recalling the fact.
Has a man in times that are cone wander
ed into devious paths they are forever re-
minding him of it often by congratulating
him that that is past lias a man blunder-
ed they are forever tdlinghim what might
have been.'. When the Thorn is of mas
culine gender there is one way ot getting
relief. He can be knocked down and
taught manners. When the Thorn is of
the lemimne gender the case is diherent
and not so easily disposed of. But Caus-
eur hears ot one such scourge in petticoats
who got her deserts the other evening. It
was a little party where some score of peo-
ple were gathered together. The Thorn
sat near a young man w ho in days gone by
had been guilty of follies that cost him
dearly. He had put them all behind him.
But the Thorn took occasion to recall them
in a subdued and confidential tone. The
victim who been subjected to the same
torture before spoke up so all could hear:
"Madam" he said "for five ears I have
beeu trying to forget all that. You have
been trjing to remember it. Youhavesuc-
ceeded better than I. I congratulate you."
The Thorn subsided. Boston Transcript.
Don't worry about Yourself.
To retain or recover health persons
should be relieved froa anxiety concerning
disease. The mind has power ocr the
body for a person to think he has a di-
sease will often produce that disease. This
we sec effected when the mind is intensely
concentrated upon the disease of another.
Wc have seen a person seasick in antidpa
lion of a voyage before reaching the vessek
We ha c know n people to .die of cancer in
the stomach when tncy had no cancer in
the stomach or any other mortal disease.
A blindfolded man slightly pierced in the
arm. has fainted and died from believing
he was bleeding to death. Therefore per-
sons should have their minds diverted as
much as possible from themselves. It is by
their faith that men are saved and it is by
their faith that they die. As a man think-
cth so is he. If he wills not to die he can
often live in spite of disease; and if he has
little or no attachment to life he will slip
away as easily as a child will fall asleep.
Men lives by thdr minds as wdl as by their
bodies. Thdr bodies havenq.lifeofthcm-
sdves; hcy are only receptacles of hfe
tenements for their minds the will has
much to do in continuing the physical oc-
cupancy or giving it up.
A XTlnt to Young Husbands.
Irove and appreciation are to a women
what dew and sunshine are to a flower.
They refresh and brighten her whole lift.
They make her strong-hearted and keen-
sighted in everything affecting thewdfarc
of her home. They enable her to cheer
her husband when the cares of lire press
heavily upon him and to be a cry prou-
dence to lier children. To know that her
husband loves her andisproudof her and
belies es in her; that even her faults" arc
looked upon with tenderness; that her face
to one at least U the fairest face in the
world; that the heart which to her is the
greatest and noblest holds her sacred in
its inmost recesses aboe all women
gh es her strength and courage and sw cet-
ncss and vhaaty which all the wealth of
the world would not bestow. Let a wo-
man's life be pervaded with such an infii -ence
and her heart and mind w ill never grow
old but will blossom ar.d swc.ten and
brighten in perpetual youth.
Wise Maxims.
Mr. John McDonough the New Or-
leans millionaire lias engraved on lustomb
a scries of maxims which he had prescri-
bed as the rules for his guidance through
life and to w Inch his success w as mainly at-
tributable: "Kemembcr always that labor
is one of the conditions of our cxisstencc.
Time is gold; throw not one minute away
but place each one to account. Do unto
all men as you would be done by Xeer
anetwhat'is not jour own. Neer think
any matter so trifling as not to descne no-
tice. Nccr give out that which doe not
first come in. Never spend but to produce.

tions of your life. Study in the course of
Hfe to do the greatest amount of good.

mark to distinguish too much
gin from too much sun.
