SKIN HUMOR.

My baby six months old broke out with Rome kind of skin bumor, and after being treated five months by my family physician, was given up to die. The druggist recommended Swlft'sSpecifle, and the cifeet was as gratifying as it was mlraCu lous. My child soon got well, all tr&CeS of the disease is gone, and he is as fat as a pig. J™« J. J.

Every Republican in Vermillion county who wants to see the grand old party carry the county next fail should use his Influence to extend the circulation of the Hoosler State among the people now. It is for the success of the party first, last and all the time, and for years has stood In the front of the fight, asking nothing but a living support. If each Republican would take it upon himself and send one new subscriber, his list would soon be doubled. We hope this will be done.

At about 8 o'clock on last Wednesday morning occurred the death of Robert Landon, of this place, after an fillness of four weeks of heart disease, aged 79 years, 11 months and 14 days. The deceased was born in Dayton, Ohio, March 13th, 1813. He came to this place about 8 years ago, and has resided here ever since.

His funeral took plaoe from his residence on Wednesday at 10:30 a. m., and owing to the Inclemency of the weather there was not as iarge attendance as would otherwise have been had It not been so cold and blusterous.

E. church, of which the deceased was a consistent member. He leaves a wife and three children and two grand children, who were living with him, and larger number of friends to mourn his loss.

Setting Out Tender Plants.

Germantown Telegraph. We shall Boon arrive at tfce time when setting out tomatoes, egg plants and other vegetables will be in order, and a word oi cautien about setting them out too early will save many from disappointment. There is nothing gained by being first in the field in cases of this kind. The plants soon become stunted, and do not grow as fast as others put out later, and not until the ground is warm. These go right on without stopping, and generally come into use before those which it was thought would beat them. It is worse than useless to set out plants or sow seeds until the ground is warm enough to cause them to germinate or grow.

It iegrather remarkable that this fact is not more generally recognized than it is, as most farmers know that it is true of coin. That which is put in very early often gets yellow, and in other ways show evidences of sickliness: and no one, unless in very high, dry, warm ground, ever thinks to put in the coru crop till all danger of a cold spell is over. Yet to tomatoes and egg-plants the error is frequently made, and often by people who ought to know better. Even "new varieties, warranted to be "ten days" or some number of days earlier than some other already known, have been honestly set out, because the introducers were ignorant of this simple thing.

Some old-fashioned kind we set out in the usual thoughtless, careless way, and the "choice variety for experiment" reserved, and after some days set alongside the others, and the result unmistakably showed that though put out a week later it ripened some days before the other well-known kinds.

What we have said may serve tne double purpose of preventing a too early planting of these things and a too reaay investment in extra early kinds.

Apple Pomace as Manure

Correspondence Country Gentleman. Apple pomace, as well as the leaves pf tbe trees, if spread thickly on the

land while in a green state, will destroy all vegetation beneath them When put into large heaps they have been kno*yn to kill trees. Their deleterious effects upon vegetation are not because they do not contain any fertilizing properties, but because they contain, while in a green state, too great a proportion of acid for their other ingredients. They also pack so closely together as to exclude both air and light, without which vegetable growth cannot long exist. 8ome years ago I mulched, pretty heavily, some strawberry plants with about half-dried cherry and apple tree leaves, with a view to protect them during winter. The result was the death of nearly »U my plants by spring, and the land remained sour most of the following summer.

If apple pomane be put in a heap and exposed to the frost of winter, and in the spring incorporated with some dry straw or corn cobs, with a small portion ot unslacked lime, and again left exposed to the summer suns, by fall the acid will be mostly exhausted, and the compost makes an excellent top dressing for winter wheat. It may be used to advantage during winter as a top dressing for meadows or other grass land. It should not be used until the acid has evaporated. For the destruction of any of the varieties of Linaria (wild flax), yarrow, milfoil or any other noxious perennial plant, I know of nothing better than a liberal application of salt. Salt, when used sparingly on growing crops, somewhat distant from the seacost, is an excellent fertilizer. When used in large quantities it becomes a speedy exterminator of vegetable matter. It also puts the land into excellent condition for future crops. tlHH

Watch the Seeds

Just at this time, when it is neces* sary to have the seeds in the ,lant-bed sprout quickly, the watering-pot is fre quently used. This should not be done except in cases of necessity, as there is almost always more or less of imperceptible moisture in the earth which is sufficient for the very small seeds, such as cabbage, lettuce, etc. The greatest danger to these seeds is in the baking of the soil, which will assuredly occur if the watering pot is used, especially if the soil contains much clay. To avoid this difficulty the seeds should be planted in the beds the short way, so that the gardener can reach every portion of tbem with a rake from the walk-way. Plant all seeds in little rows about eight inches apart, and then stick a spring at each end and open in the centre.

It can be noticed that always after a warm day the surface is baked. This is the cause of more seed failures than any other thing, as the seeds perish before they can get through. Successive applications of water simply makes the crust harder. Water the plants every alternate evening after each watering rake the bed over with a sharptoothed rake (one with a tooth out in the middle is preferred), following the direction of the rows, which may be discerned by the sprigs placed there for the purpose. This process loosens the soil, prevents the formation of a hard crust, admits air, water and warmth, and facilitates the growth of the young plants. After they are through the ground it is time to give slight hoeing.

How to Hatch Full Broods""" A little care with sitting hens will enable the farmer to get full broods, if he will only take the trouble to select eggs that are fertile. The better method is to endeavor to place the eggs under two or three hens on the same day, as there are nearly always two or three inclined to sit about the same time when the flocks are large. Put not over a dozen eggs under each hen in cold weather it is better not to give them over eight each. When the eggs have been in the nest about ten days or two weeks, go to all three of the nests and carry the eggs to the house. Then, by holding an egg in the left hand and shading it with the right, between the eye and a good light coal oil lamp will answer) the position of the air-chamber at the top of the large end may be observed. If thiq has become enlarged, and the egg is very dark from the air chamber to the small end, the egg contains a chick. If the egg is clear or transparent it contains no life. After selecting the dark eggs shake each one gently, and if the fluid Btrikes loosely against the shell it is rotton, but if no motion in the egg is experienced by the hand place them back in the nest, and boil the clear ones for feeding young chicks already hatched. By using this plan the good eggs that formerly were under three hens can be placed under two, or one, as the exigency demands, and the third hen maybe given another hatch along with a fresh trio. With a little judgment and experience one can know almost to a certainty how many chickB a hen will bring off.

Orape Vines.

Indiana Farmer. l"1* There is one kind of fruit, and that, too, of a most delicious sort*, that seems to grow and thrive in every part of the land, if only once started and given a "ghost of a chance." It seems strange that so many of our farms have not a grape vine on them, and so many more have only a straggling vine or two, which yield but a titlie of what woulu I) UHVI, when the place might yield tan :t year and the room would never be missed. Now, in this good new year, will not every boy and girl take hold of the business, and see that a good vine is set, where it may run over the back porch, the old oak tree, the corn crib, the lattice by the garden wall, even the cow sheds and p'g-sty need not be overlooked if your lttings are abundant. It will cost so itile and be worth so much. They wi ^row while you are sleeping, and pa. Jack many fold all the care and lal they cost. They may be had from .. iguet until late frosts, if you will bui lake pains to secure varieties that cone on in succession. There is scam iy any fruit more beautiful and refreshing, and the taste for it will grow by cultivation. Even those so addicted to pork and potatoes that they look with contempt on all sorts of "green stuff," might in time come to possess a more refined and wholesome taste by daily use of these inviting purple clusters an end much to be desired both for their moral and physical well being.

.» (i*.. llloot Pruning. London Garden. The experiments were made on the apple and pear. A vigorous apple tree, 8 or 10 years old which had scarcely made any fruit buds, has done brat when about half the roots were cut in one season and half three years later, by going half around on opposite sides in one year and finishing at the next pruning, working two feet underneath to sever downward roots. It has always answered well, al£0, to cut from

such trees all the larger and longer roots about two and a half feet from the stem, leaving the smaller and weaker ones longer, and going half-way around, as already Btated. That operation was repeated three err four 3 ears later by extending the cut cir cle afoot or two further away from the tree. By this operation unproductive fruit trees became thickly studded with fruit spurs, and afterward bore profusely. This shortening of the roots hss'been continued in thess experiments for twenty years with much success, the circle of roots remaining gieatly circumscribed. The best time for the work has been found to be in the latter part of August and beginning of September, when growth has nearly ceased, and while the leaves are yet on the trees, causing greater increase of bloom buds the following rear than when performed after the eaves have fallen.

The latest news from Africa is that the Zulu King has the croup this news is doubted by many, but notwithstanding the friends of the king have sent him a case of Dr. Bull's Cough SyrUp and consequently know his cure is certain.

About a month ago I was attacked with a violent pain in my chest, accompanied by fever and great difficulty in breathing. apprehended pneumonia, which is so prevalent at present I arent to bed and applied one oi Allcock's Piasters between my shoul. der blades and two on my chest. In an hour my breathing was much easier, in two hours the pain had left me, and the next morning I awoke perfectly free from fever. I went about my business as usual, and at the end of a week took the plasters off.

For the last ten years Allcock's Plasters have been used by my family with the best effect in colds, coughs, and pain in the side and back.

Be sure to obtain "Allcock's" Porous Plaster, as all others are worthless imitations.

It speedily cures dyspepsia, cositiveness, bad breath, piles, pimples, ague and malaria diseases, poor appetite, low spirits, headache, and makes the general health excellent. Can be taken by the most delicate. Price 50 cents, of Gulick & Co 1
