)otne and Matm.

Household Knowledge. Green sage pat In a closet will clear it of red ants. Mcrroir Chops. Sprinkle with vinegar, pepper and salt; dip them in egg, sprinkle with cracker or bread crumbs and fry. To Gleah Stair Rods. Use woolen cloth wet with water and dipped in sifted coal ashes. Afterward rub with a dry cloth. Drsi-TTKRY. Parch brown a tableapoonfnl of nee; pat into a cap of cold water and let it come to a hard boil; sweeten a little. Ik Dcstinq. Use a soft cloth instead of a brash or wing; the cloth will catch all the dost, and you can shake it form tbe window, while the others set it floating again. Oeka Soup. To five quarts of water and a shin ef beef add four dozen okr as, sliced thin, and a few tomatoes; boil from six to seven hoars and add salt and red pepper to taste. Am Excellent Cars. One cup of butter, two of sugar, the whites of six eggs beaten to froth, two caps of Soar, half cup of cream, one teaspoonfal of extract vanilla. Bake one hoar slowly. IfKOH Extract. Cat off the yellow outside peel of five lemons, shave it as thin as you can, put into a pint of spirits and cork tightly. If you want vanilla extract bruise the bean and proceed as with the lemon. Potato Noodles Grate one dozen of boiled potatoes, add two eggs, a little salt, half a capful of milk, enough flour to knead tiff, then cut in small pieces, then roll long acd round, one inch thick; fry in plenty of lard to a nice brown. Boast Capons. Roast two fat capons, dish them with a small boiled tongue between them, pour over them a perigord sauce, and garnish them with boiled cups of new turnips, filled with olives or green carrots and green peas alternately. Ax Odb Scrap Basket. Take a peach basket and paint it black on the outside, paste on scrap pictures to suit your taste; cover the handle and line the inside with red flannel, patting a box plaiting of the same around the edge. Flasnil Cakes. One quart of flour, two eggs, one and one-half pints of boiled milk (used cold), two teaspoon fuls of salt, three tablespoonfuls of yeast (added after the other ingredients have been mixed); beat light and set to rise till morning; bake on a griddle. Sick Headache. This distressing complaint can generally be relieved by soaking the feet in very warm water, in which a spoonful of powdered mustard has been stirred. Soak as long as possible, or till the water gets cool; it draws the blood from the head. To Boil Chickbks Without Burhiko Them Remove occasionally from the fire, and baste them with a gravy prepared as follows: Simmer together one half cup of vinegar, a piece of butter the size of an egg, and salt and pepper to the taste. Keep it hot to use. Cup Fruit Cake. One cup of butter, two cups raisins seeded and chopped fine, four cups flour, two cups brown sugar, one cup soar cream, three eggs well beaten, one teaspoonfal of soda, one of cloves, four of cinnamon. Bake slowly, and serve hot or cold, with sauce. Hermits. Two eggs, cap and onehalf caps of sugar, two-thirds cap batter or lard, one cup currants, one teaspoonfal, each, of cloves, nutu.ee and cinnamon, one teaspoonfal of soda. Roll out like coekies; roll the currants in floor, sprinkle sugar on top before baking. iKDiAtr Loaf. Take one pint of sour milk, one-half pint of sweet milk, one teacupful of molasses, one-half teacupful of butter, two teaspoonsf ula of saleratus, oneUarge teaspoonful of salt, three eggs, one pint of wheat floor, one quart of yellow Indian meal; bake in a deep tin basin in an oven of same heat as for cake, for one and a half hours. Lemos Jellt. Take a paper of gelatine and let it soak in a pint of cold water for one hour at least, but the longer it is soaked the better. Then add to it a quart of boiling water, the juice of two or three lemons and a pint and a half of sugar. Set it away without cooking at all, in a form to cool, and an excellent article of jelly will be the result. N a puss A new way of ornamenting .table napkins is by drawing designs upon them in indeliole ink. A clump of reeds with a stork; a mingling of flowers and and vines, or a tiny comic figure may be placed in one corner with very good effect. Embroidery is more artistic, but requires more time and does not display any more inventiveness. fFarm Notes. To cure scab in sheep, rub it with plain petroleum with a sponge three times a week. Dogs can be cured of mange in the same way. Land laid down with clover is better than money in bank, drawing more interest than any bank can pay and compounding the interest oftener. The manure of cows and pigs resist decomposition for a longer time than that of the sbeep and horse, both the latter being drier than tbe former, and decomposing more readily in the soil. For a kicking horse fill an old sack with hay and suspend it from the loft by means of a rope, in such a manner that the horse will be able to kick it every time it swings against him. Let him kick until he stops of his own accord, and you will have no more trouble with him that way. An old stock breeder says: "In my opin ion the beat cow ever bred lor milk, cream and butter is a high grade Jersey, a mixture of Jersey and Ayrshire bloods, say seveneights Jersey and one eighth Ayrshire. Such a grade will produce more milk, cream and butter or equal quality tnan any otner thoroughbred Jersey. Probably the very best way to protect wheat in the biDS from tbe weevil is to thoroughly fumigate the bins with burning sulphur. This should be done before the grain is put into the bine, and repeated in tbe course of a month or so after the grain is stored. Some persons nse lime and salt, but there is nothing better tnan auipnur. Cows that have access to water at all times will drink often, bat little at the time, and return to their feeding. Cows deprived of a sufficient suddIv of water fail in milk and flesh, and when they are allowed to fail, it is almost impossible to bring them back to their proper yield of milk and condition of nesn, at least witnout extra expense ana trouble. A most valuable remedy for heaves, and aid to be a sure cure: Forty sumac buds. one pound of rosin, one pint of ginger, half a pound of mustard, one pint of nnslacked lime, one pound of epaom salts, four ounces of gum guiacum, six ounces of cream tartar. Mix thoroughly and divide into 30 powders, and give one every morning in their feed before watering. A writer well acquainted in flairy matters ays that during the summer, in order to obtain the best results from them, milch cows ought to be fed on meal and bran. They should stand in a darkened stable, oetween 11 and 4 o'clock, dunce fly time, and within these hoars they may be fed. This la far better than to let them graze daring the entire day. and they will prove it or results and when you see a cow scratching against ' a tree be sure tbat she needs carrying. She -will stand the operation as a kitten will stand

stroking. A cow heeds as much carrying and cleaning as a horse. . A Vermont farmer recommends the use of sawdust as a bedding for cattle, to keep them clean and absorb the liquid manure. An experience of 20 years in using on a large farm shows that it does not injure the soil, being freely applied in this way. Some soils, no doubt, would be improved by the addition of sawdust, others might be injured somewhat until tbe sawdust decayed. Tbe following is given as a correct rule for

measuring corn in the crib: Multiply the length by the breadth, and this product by the depth of corn in the pen. Multiply this again by 4J4 and point off one decimal glace. This result will be the answer in ashels. For instance, we have a pen of corn 43 feet long, VA feet wide and 8i feet high. Multiplying these three dimensions together we have 3,060 cubic feet. Now, multiplying this by ilA we have 13,770. Pointing off the one decimal we have as the contents of the pen 1,377 bushels. Keep sheep dry under foot with clean litter. Never let them stand or lie in tbe mud or snow. If a ewe loses her lamb, milk her daily for a few days, and mix a little alum with her salt. Never frighten sheep; if possible, avoid it. Separate sick or thin sheep from those tbat are strong, and give them special care. If a leg is broken, bind it with splinters tightly, loosening as the limb swells. It a sheep is lame, examine his hoofs; if unsound, apply tobacco, with blue vitriol boiled in a little water. Shear at once any sheep commencing to shed its wool, unless the weather is too severe. . Fall Plowing. The better the preparation of the ground the better the crop. Tbe high average yield of tbe English farms is no doubt largely due to the thorough preparation of tne ground before seeding. Our climate is superior to that of England for wheat growing; yet a yield of 64 bushels per acre is not at all anfrequent among farmers there, while here 40 bushels per acre is an unusual yield. Two plowings. several harrowings, and, in many cases, rolling or crushing, and tbe excellent preparation ol tbe soil by previous root croD, must have a much better effect upon the soil than one plowing very poorly done, because of the hardness and dryness of our soil in midsummer, and very imperfect narrowing. It might be well for ns to lay out more labor on our wheat crop, and so prepare the ground better, and raise our average from 12 to at least 20 bushels per acre. The difference in the amount of wheat at harvest would pay for a good deal of extra work in plowing, etc, and yet leave a profit; beside tne soil would not forget tbe generous treat ment in one year nor two. Fruit Trees. Rural Messenger. I find that lime, wood ashes and old iron put around the roots of declining fruit trees have a'very beneficial effect. These fertilizers restore the tree to a nealtby condition, and also greatly improve the fruit in quality and quantity. I made the application on a Windsap and Never Fail; about half a bushel of mixed lime and ashes to each, and dug it in with a hoe some six feet around the trunk. and put the old iron immediately around the base of each. The trees put forth with a renewed vigor. blossomed abundantly and yielded a good crop of fruit. An excellent wash for trees may be made thus: hi eat sn ounce of salsoda to redness in'aniron pot and dissolve it in oue gallon of water, and while warm ap ply it to the trunk. After one application the moss and old bark will drop on and tbe trunk will be quite smooth. The wash has highly recuperative properties, making old trees bear anew. I have tried soft soap as a wash with good results, and also a coating of lime in the spring season, which is a fine specific for old trees. Ibe question Is often asked, is it best to manure trees in the fall or spring? I have found the summer season to be a good time. I have much faith in mulching. especially young trees, for several seasons after they are planted. Apple trees are said to have two growths during the season the secondary growth takes place after midsummer, hence it Is that a top dressing of good manure, and also coarse litter, facilitates tbe late growth, and often produces very marked results in the habit and formation of the tree. The good effect that mulching has to young trees is that it wards off the .intense heat of the sun from the tender roots, and also has a tendency to hold moisture. A good top dressing of stable manure in the fall around young trees, with a good many corn cobs cast over the surface of tbe soil, give satisfactory results. Why Not? A well-known French agriculturist, M. Montclar, has suggested a novel plan for producing various flavors in meat. He believes that by feeding cattle, sheep, hogs and poul try in a particular way, or rather oy various ways of flavoring their food, their neeh may be made more agreeable to the palate than it is often found to be. He instances cases in which hares killed in a wormwood field. larks shot in a cabbage field, and eggs laid by hens which had eaten diseased silk worms had sucn a nauseating taste that no one could touch them; while on the other hand some ducks and fieldfares which had fed upon sprigs of juniper had a delicious flavor. Numerous experiments have been made in this direction among others three upon tame rabbits, which were fed with the waste of aniseed, with barley and bran, containing a light flavor of juniper, and with barley and bran containing a little essence of thyme, in each case it was found tbat the flesh of these animals was far better eating than that of animals fattened in the ordinary way, and yet there was no trace of aniseed or juniper in tne taste. The conclusion is that cattle. sheep and pigs might be fed in the same way, and tbat by varying the flavoring bet ter tbe beef. Mutton and pork might be made to have several different tastes. Why may not the flesh of animals and poultry be changed as well as the milk of cows? Kine that browse on certain kinds of weeds, we all know, have their milk and butter so im pregnated as to be impalatable. Even when fed on certain kinds of food, for instance, pumpkins, turnips, etc, the milk and butter will partake of tbe taste of these vegetables. Hence, if the quality of the milk, butter and cheese can be improved by the character of the food, wby may not the quality of the' flesh of animals and poultry be also improved? Tbe flesh of trout fed on "lights" and liver and confined in ponds are not near so rich in flavor as those which are free scavengers in tbe roaring streams, enjoying the natural rather than the artificial food. The subject is one worthy the attention of cattle growers and poultry raisers. Gratefal Women None receive so much benefit, and none are so profoundly grateful and show such an interest in recommending Hop Bitters as women. It is tbe only remedy peculiarly adapted to the many ills the sex is almost universally subject to. Chills and fever, indigestion or deranged liver, constant or periodical sick headaches, weakness in the back or kidneys, pain in the shoulders and different parts of the body, a feeling of las situde and despondency, are all ;-eadily removed by these Bitters Would yon allow your bouse to barn down if water wonld save it?

FINANCIAL AND C0HUERCIAL

FIN AH CI Ala Onrccs of Twm Idiawapolis Sra-mra, 1 Monday Evzxrao. Aug. 18. f The past week has been an unusually quiet one, so far as financial affairs are concerned. The supply of money held by tbe banks and hanking houses is amply sufficient to meet all demands of legitimate trade, and there Is no trouble in placing stlctly gilt-edge paper at the usual rates of Interest.

The week opened on the Stock Exchange witb a continuance of the depression which has been a feature of the dealings for the last few days. A. selling movement- in granger shares and Lake Shore was very pronounoed throughout the day, and the whole list was unfavorably affected. At the close a slightly steadier feeling prevailed, but the cloning quotations, compared with Saturday's, showed a decline ranging from M to 2 per cent. Later St. Paul common and Northwestern common fell oS2 per cent., Lake Shore 1 per cent, and Western Union ly, per cent.

The general markets have shown a great deal of activity during the entire week. The roads have been In an exceedingly good condition, and there have been a large number of country people in the city who have purchased quite freely. The splendid crops throughout the State have made collections exceedingly good, and, taking all in all, the trade future of Indianapolis is quite flattering, to say the least. There bave been no fluctuations In the quotations In the leading branches of business that call for extended comment. The following table shows the amount of grain in store in this city at the present time:

A Chicago exchange says: There Is a good deal of grumbling over the notification that a lurtner advance oi oo per iuu ids. wui oe maue in rail freights to the seaboard on the 25th Inst. One of oar millers had Just made a contract to deliver 50,000 casks of corn meal on the seaboard, for export to France, when he was notified of the change, which will Involve nearly 6c per 100 lbs loss to bimon more than half the quantity, as he will be unable to fill halt the order before tne rise occurs. It Is certainly an improvement over the former practice, to give 10 days' notice of au advance, as it prevents loss to many people, but snob, a notice does not cover a case like the above. We believe it was eenerall v exnected that no further change in rates would be made after the one of 12 days ago, and not a few parties have made contracts which threaten to Involve them in serious loss if the programme now announced De carrieu out.
