The Farm and Household. CONDUCTED BY JONATHAN SIMMONS. To KEEP BIRDS FROM STRAWBERRY BEDS.—An English correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle bas his plants growing in long narrow beds. He has a post at each end, a wire stretched to €ach, a ring on the wire, a tring or light rope on the ring, and a cat on the other end of tbe rope. Pussy can walk up and down the bed but no where else. The birds de: crease in numbers, and-pussy likes the job. Lot Cucu¥BEßS ON TRELLISES.—The Gar. dener’s Monthly says no one who has not tried it, can bave any idea of the luxurious growth of & cucumber, when trained to a stake which bas a set of stubby sidebranches left along its length; and the crop on some the writer saw 8o trained was enormous. -By this plan the vines occupy less ground, and it is the natural . Babit of the cucumber to climb instead of %railing bn the ground. This is a hint worth remembering, especially by those who have small gardens. '

AN INDELIBLE INK.—Dr, Elsner states that an indelible red ink can be prepared as follows: Equal parts by weight of copperas and cinnabar, both in fine pow - der and sifted, are rubbed up with linseed oil with a muller and finally squeez‘ed through cloth.. The thick paste can beemployed for writing or stamping wool en and cotton goods and the color remains fast after the goods bave been bleached. The reds usually employed are not fast colors, and* do not resist the action of bleaching agents.—Scientific American.

NeEw PowpeEß —A novel descriptfion ot gunpowder, possessing extraordinary projectile power, is said to have been recently adopted by the Prussian_artillery. It is composed of a certain proportion of pitre and sawdust, and in this state can be kept in store without fear of explo~ sion. .To render this composition explo. sive, it is necessary to add a sufficent quantity ot sulphuric acid to make it cohere, and when dried it is ready for use. This composition has certainly the advantage of cheapness, combined with extreme simplicity in its manufacture, and is said to leave but little residue after be. ing fired. ] i

. CLOVER Forß HoGB.—An Ohio hog raiser advocates the system of pasturing ou clover.during the summer. He presents, as the advantage of this plan, the statement that an acre of ground in clover will pasture five hogs four months, and it will ‘take the corn from half an acre to feed them the same time. The caltivation of thecorn he counts equal to the rest of the other half acre. He further claims that hogs pastured on clover are in far better condition than if fed on corn, as they are better framed, healthier, and eat better, and also states that the land is en riched by the clover pasturing.

Tue Horse.—Of all the countiess gifts of a bounteous Providence, it has always secmed to me that the horse is the most interesting and valuable, and lam sorry to add, that he is the most abused. I will not attempt to recount his usefulness ; his worth issummed up is the inquiry—is there a transaction . of man's existence ‘wherein he is not répresented, either directly or indirectly? Look into his beautiful and gentle eyes; behold him as he trudges‘ along, bearing the burdens of trade and commerce ; observe that fleet and graceful pace, which pleasure or dis patch demands; hark! to that steady tramp upon the flinty streets, where winter's cutting blasts unite their moans to the tolling of the midnight hour, and say—is this a mere brute; or is it a heay enly spirit in disguise ?— Bergh. :

BOILED CORN FOR HOGS,— I experimentcd five years in fattening hogs, three with meal well scalded and cooked before feed. ing, and the other two in feeding corn boiled. I shelled the corn from the cob, and bofled it slowly ina boiler, and fed eight quarts per hog daily, _keeping the boiler well covered all the time, 80 as to bave all the heat possible. The hags that I fed with boiled corn fattened fully one fourth faster than with meal, and the pork was well packed with ieaf lard, and was solid and delicious enough for the most fastidious, . One ot my neighbors has fattened his hogs for several years past on dry meal, giving two quarts to each hog three times & day ; for drink he gives them cold wa. ter. He claims this to be the cheapest and best way. Certainly there are no Uetter than he raises, for their age, and no cleaner, handsomer pork.— Correspondence of The People. L

A FLCT IN GRAPE CULTURE.—The Rural Pacific Press publishes asa new discovery a fact which may be new. to them, but has long been understood by the best’ vignerone on this side of the continent, ftsays: “We would mention a fact which has come within our observation and ex perience, which, if generally true, is of some importance. Itis this: That the first bud from the base of the last year's cane throws out larger and better developed grapes than either the first or sec. ond. The grapes from these bHuds seem also better flavored, and generally superi. -or to those.on the first and second. In accordance with this hint, we have adopted the plan of cutting the cane at such length as to leave the third bud generally, and sometimes: the -fourth, when a good strong one, and rubbing off the first and second buds, and leaving the third and fourth for fruit, If the vines are strong and vigorous at three years, from twoto tbree bunches of grapes may be allowed to mature on each without injury.” - A PerrFect Horsg.—ln weight she might have tarned, when well conditioned, nine hundred and fitty pounds, In color she was a dark chestnut, with a velvety depth and soft look about the hair indescribably rich and elegant. Many a time have I heard ladiesdispute the shade and hue of her plushlike coat as tley ran their white jeweled finguers through Ler silken hair, Her body wes round as the barrel, and perfectly symmetrical. She was wide in the haunches, without projection of the hip-bones, upon which the shorter ribs seemed to lap. High in the withers as she was, the line of her back and neck perfectly curved, while her deep oblique shoulders and long,thick forearm, ridgy withswelling sinews, suggested the perfection of stride and power. Her knees across' the pan were wide, the can-non-bope below them short and thin; the pasterns long' and sloping; her hoofs round, dark, shiny, and well set on. Her mane was a sbade darker than her coat, fine and thin as a thoroughbred’s always is whose blood is without taint or cross, Her ear was thin, sharply pointed, deli - cately curved, nearly black around the borders, and as_tremulous ‘as the leaves N an aspem—Jler neck rose from the withers to the héad in perfect carvature, hard\ devoid of % ndP:veﬂ cut, up under the chopf. % ostrils were full, very Nlland thinslsost a 8 parchment, The eyes, from tears might fall or fire flash, were well brought out, soft as a ga zelle’s, almost hurfan in their intelligence, while over small bony head, over neck, and shoulders, yes over whole body and cleanjdown to the hoofs, the veins stood out as if the skin were but tissue paper against which the warm blood pregsed, and which it might at any moment burst assunder. “A perfect animal,” I said to mysel f.:“n,.tim'w%‘wn,j*wf-ani - ‘mal. which ntﬁ:hmbm born from the wind and the sun-shine, 80 cheerful and o swift she seems; an aoimal which » min would present us choicest gift to bttt ety Ll to ride when hono %&Hﬁ-ﬂm m nd speed.”—[ W.

.. Forest Treasure Trove. . Not any man knows, and very few imagine, to what extent, in the aggregate, the valuable timber of the State 18 being 'sweﬁt'away. For obvious reasons the work is earried on as stealthily as possi—ble. And although most of the rural population are apprised that walnut tim:: ber is ‘valuable, still there are hundreds who have but an imperfect conception of the value of the timber on their lands.— It is scarcely possible to arouse them on the subject, for they do not read, and however much may be written, it will’ never reach the parties most interested. It is the interest of the “walnut man” tokeep the matter quiet and avoid stirring. up excitement on the subject as far as possible, Hence, he slips around quietly, keeps silent and lives in the woods. Pop ulation is as distasteful to him as it was to Daniel Boone. His treasureis in ‘the deep dark forest - remote from public thoroughfares. There he wanders with eager search ag did Eneas for the golden J branch that gave him a passport to bades, ; There is an army of thesc almost invisi—ble walnut hunters in the dark-corners of the State. They are, in reality, as plenty 18 sewing machine agents or real estate men in Indianapolis. Take the operations of one map &s an ‘example. Capt. R. Curry is the, walnut man fora firm in Indianspolis. lis business is to buy standing walnut trees for luamber, to cut which the mills to the number. of three or four are located out of sight at convenient points. The walnut man calls upon the lucky possessor of fine trees which bave stood upcn the lands for a century, which cost nothing, and which till lately have been regarded as an in cumbrance upon the farm. He has mon ey, and money ccming 80 easy is mighty seductive. He buys the tree, walks up to it, and with a peculiar instrument for the purpose blazes a smooth place with one stroke, and by a second stamps his initials upon the trunk, and leaves the. property, requiring neither care nor ex. pense, to be taken aweay at 8 convenient time. Capt. Curry is rusticating for the present season in Parke covnty, a section of country rich, vastly rich, in its soil, minerals and its magnificent timber.— ‘Since the first of January, scarcely three months, he has bought standing trees to the value of $47,000. In one neighbor hond aloue he has lately put his proprie tary stanip upon 1,073 fine old walnuts. He pays for them. The average price per tree is -about twenty dollars. For one lot of ninety acres on which thereare standing 270 walnuts and 450 large and fiine poplars:-he has left a standing offer of $lOO per acre, or $9,000 tor the land. The fine timber alone is worth the amount, besides the timber of less valae and a rich quarry of building stone. In one instance $4lB was paid for the tim ber alone’ on three acres. These are large prices and show that the people are - not wholly unaware of what they are doing. Yet it is said on as° gaod authority as buys the timber, that men are selling trees every day for three and tour dollars that ought to bring ten dollars, and would -if the sellers knew their real value.” It is, ‘ perhaps, not a fault that the oid and ma tured timber of the coéuntry should be ‘used. It is fortuhate for Indiana that she ' has it. But she will not have it long.— The end of this year- will have stripped everything purchasable from her ' forests. And the present owners should reap the benefit of this good fortune. A forest of walnuts standing for the next five years i 3 better than money at interest. The de- | mand increases constantly. This black walnut lumber goes to New York, Boston, California, and much of 1t across the water to Europe. At present the demand and prices are better than they have ever been, and it is irpossible, for them to permanently decline. If the fully ma tuwer, ready to decay, only were put on market, it would be no matter of damage, except that the value may be enbanced by waiting. But such is the eagerness of the walout men to buy and the temptation of the impecunious farmer to realize, that young growing trees are be: ing taken in large quantities which the first set of buyers passed by. This is a short sighted policy and an injury to the State. Better carefully preserve the young timber and plant a new crop for the coming generations.—lnd. Sentinel,

Transplanting. A correspondent of an exchange, who evidertly writes from practical experieuce, says: . “I.was taught to set plants just after. rain, and many gardeners recommend this plan,but I have learned better. T take cabbage, tomatoes,| or anything that is transplanted, having the ground loose or mellow. I take my plants in a basket, and have along a small pail with water in it. I take a plant in my left hand; put the plant 'in the water. On taking the plant trom the water I give the hand 8 quick turn, throwing the roots of the plant up, to prevent them sticking togeth. er, and immediately with the right hand sprinkle dry earth over the roots; then set them in the ground to the seed leaves. In this way the ground remains loose about the plant, and the young roots take bold of the soil and need no shading.. In setting after a rain many persons press the earth so tight about the roots that it always remains bard, and being so close to the roots it cinnot be loosened by the boe. Iset 3,000 plantsin this way last geason, and some on the warmest days in May, without-losing any. During wet weather, in the fall, raspberry suckers may be taken up and tramsplanted. We make the rows five feet apart, and set out tour or five young suckers in each hill, making the bills three feet apart in the rows. Press the earth firmly round the plauts, and if the work is done in moist weather, and as much earth as possible is left round the roots, or, in other words, if the suckers are taken up, as gardeners say, ‘with a ball,’ they can be transplanted as easily as cabbage. You can save a year's time by this plan. If the ground is rich, and you mulch the young plants, they”wi]l bear a small crop.the next sea ‘BOD, G

Strawberries with Potatoes, A correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph tells how he avoided the dis advantage of allowing the ground to re muin idle fhe first year, as is usual under the common mode of planting strawberries. The ground was first handsomely prepared by plowing and harrowing, the early rose planted in hills thirty inches apart each way, and the strawberry plants also the same distance, alternating in the rows with the potatoes, that is, fifteen inches from each potatoe hill. © A one horse cultivator and hand hoe kept them per fectly clean. The potatoes were dug in July, leaving the strawberry plants in full possession just as they were beginning to throw out ruuners. The additional ecare of the strawberries was estimated at $2O per acte. One full crop of berries free from weeds i 3 enough, more might be had, but the labor: of keeping clean by hand is much more than preparing the ground by horse labor and transplanting.

MiLg CELLAR —A milk cellar will be coolest: when well sunk in the earth, and not much above its surface. Tight feet would bea good depth. The windows near the top of the walls, should be pro tected from' the 'sun, ‘either by trees or shrubs, or with blinds or shades; and wire screens inside should be made to exclude all insects, Covering the bottom with hydraulic cement is not 8 gopd con ductor of heat; it will render the cellar warmer in summer and in winter, by preventing access to the earth. Good stone flagging would be better than. common . brick. There should be a ventilating flue run up the upper part of the apart. ment, in which the current of air may be regulated by means of u register. Dr, Max F. A.

Tn ‘this State vigofous efforts dre being made to establish sitmilar Clabs 'in every county, and if possible in each township. - . “TFhe ‘Huntington Democrat of the 27th ,ulﬁg‘ublished' the proceedings of a Farmerg’. Club organized at Antioch; Hun-~ tington county.. The constitution of this organization provides amongother things that : ol ' Art. T I}I:one but farmers shall Lecome members of this organization. oo A.rig 8. We hereby pledge ourselves re~ gatdless of former party or politics to vote for no man, for any office, who is op pesed to this organization, on the railroad question, and wha is not identified with the fa:mers’ club. o i The Demoacrat thus comments. on these proceedings: bonp [ % f The Bth. article of coustitution bas the proper ring, and if the members of the Club” will) stand by each other'in the pledge they make, and use.their utmost effort to promote the interegts of the‘class ‘with which they are identified; they will find no unyielding obstactes in"their way. The farmers of the wholé northwest have ‘become aroused to the flagrant impositions which they have suffered, not only from railroad tariffs, fb‘utfrom all manner of tariffs which have been fostered by government to protect one interest of the country, to the detriment of an other. - The farmers ot Illinois Hégan the agitation of the question ‘of railroad freights, just as ‘the farmers of Dallas township have done. The more they examined the matter, the more were they convinced that the agita: tion must assume a wider scope; that in its application to railvoad tariffs alone it was dwarfed and eramped, snd fell far short of penetrating to the root’to the evils to be correeted.

~ T'he nearect approachtothe true ground on which farmers §hould pntthemselvés, was taken at Lia Salle; Til, at tlie méeting of the Farmers’ Club on Saturday last.— They discussed the monopoly question from every standpoint, and summoned up their views in & resolution which, while. it falls far short of reathing every phase of the tariff spoliation system, is still progressive enough to indicate that the question is ‘bccoming thoroughly understood. They resolved to “insist that the duty on iron, steel, leather, lumber, tin, woolen, railroad rails, plush, velvet, and all materials used in bailding railroads, engines, cars and steamships, ought to be. at once repcaled ; that the interest of the laborers and “artisans of Pennsylvania and New England, as well as the farmers of the west, require absolute free trade in these materipls, that it is quite as essential that such materials shall be imported free of duty as that railroads should obey the lawe; and that free trade would ena: ble the railroads to make a tariff of prices conformable to luw.” Now; when it is reflected that all farm machinery could be purchased for just one-half of what it is sold for, the tariffon iron and steel,and other articlds that enter into their construction, those who require these implements in their avocations will readily see where the shioe pinches.. Ex Gov. Donnelly, of Minnesots, in an address hefore the Farmers’ Club of Hastings, produced some facts which will aid agriculturists in coming to a proper underttunding of the tariff question. He said that McCor mick gave evidence in a lawsuit that his reapers cost but $5O to muncfacture, and were sold for $200; that thresbing machines cost $7OO could be built for $100; that a sewing machine cost $l2, and was sold for §7O-—and this was because of the high tariff rates that excluded not only the raw material, but the manufactured articles of other countties from coming in cowpetition with the bounty fed monopo liesof this conntry —making our farmers the mere hewers of wood and dmwerF of water for the iron mongers, and industries protected /by tariffs, that have no other tendency than to impoverish the farmers, if not to practice downrigh robbery upon them, s laie . >
