The Farm and Household. e A LAR A A R ‘ CONDUCTED BY JONATHAN §IMMONS. » Cam]bbel!'s Late Rose Potato, Which bids fair to become the fnvprite among farmers, was originated from the seed ball of the Early Rose,by that prince of horticultarists, George W. Campbell, whose name ought to be a sufficient guarantee to every polato:g’rnWer. It has been thorouguly tested throughout the Union, and proven to be the most remarkable potato ever known, With ordinary cul‘ture, in good soil, it bas yielded from 80 to 125 bushels from ove of seed. Single pounds, planted one eye in a hill, with ordirary care, have produced from two to six bushels, suys Mr. Campbell. ‘Finely flavored, dry and mealy, large in size, unsurpassed as a keeper, it is offered as the most valuable and the most wonderfully productive potato grown. : The Late Rose Potato is in shape and color similar to the Early Rose; it may be 8 shade deeper red; smooth,not deep eyed, white meated and of excellent flavor. The vines keep green until frosted, and take deep and strong root, which ehables them ta withstand Ory weather befter than any other kind, Peachblows not ex. cepted. The Late Rose will run strrmg, and, we think, be a successful opponent to the Peachblow. , Sack 8r05.,, Ligonier, who keep these potatoes for sale, purchased one peck of the “Late Rose” for $lO of Mr. Campbell, The yield therefrom was twenty six busbels. Farmers who may wish to give this potato a trial may learn full particu lars by calling upon Sack Bros. Ligonier, Ind. -

Something for Fair Managers to 5 Yhink About. : The Washington Democrat says that three fourths of the premiums of every fair are given for stock, one eighth for agriceiture and liorticulture, and one eighth for mechanical and manufacturing interests. The importance of stock rais ing should not be underrated ;. yet it does geem that one of the secondary interests of the State ought not to monopolize all the glory and profit-of a fair which taxes all alike, and is intended for the improvement of the natural resources of the State ' that there is bad policy in paying a hundred dpllar preminm for raising a three hundred dollar horse, and a_ ten dollar premiom for raising a thousand dollar crop of wheat or corn ; that if a hundred dollar calf is of sufficient importance to gaio its owper a twenty five dollar premium, an orchard of fruit wught to be recognized as worth a premium bearing the same relation to its value, and the cost of production. ' ' HOUSE- CLEANING time is fast approach ing, and we would say to lousckeepers, don’t tear up tbe whole house at once.— 1f ymlu' houge has a second story bvgin with the upper ehambers, taking one at a time. If yon use stoves, let one remain in order to have fire during changeable weather—nothing is more productive “of disease than damp rooms. Before sweop ing the flo rs after the dusty carpets are removed; sprinkie them with moist earth, then sweep thoroughly. Lattle dust is rajsed and the floor will require but little scrubbing. : 5 Now 13 THE TIME to begin sowing flower secds, as many varieties started in boxes or pots will flower early in the sum-~ mer. A writer says: “There is nothing better for wivesand daughters, physically, than to have the care of a garden ; aflower pot if nothing more.” The cultivation of flowers isa pleasure which requircs neither vreat riches nor profeund knowledge, A package containing one dollar’s worth of seed, purchased of a reliable seedsman, will grow many beautiful plants, and the- - employed in cultivating them be well spent, ; !

The Neecd of Western Farmers. i The most enthuosiastic Western farmer, if he is at all conversant with the geneéral | agriculture of this section of ,the country | must confess that it is still in & very rude condition. It has seemed the aim of most | of .us to add acre to acre, instead of imptoving to their utmost capacity those wé have already. We have selected our best land, and year after ycar planted it with our stuple cereal, corn, alternated perbaps occasionally with wheat, until the sooil is 0 much exbausted that these crops have ceased to be remunerative, and then we buy, 1f we can, a few acres more, to go through the same process again.— But is this geod farming? Few among us think of the amount of land to be found on every farm that is worse than useless—its taxes must be paid, while it makes oo returnsadequate to the expense. A large crop on a tew acres is not the test of good farming, but the general average, i and in this we almost slways fail. It costs just as much in time and labor to plow and plant and cultivate an acre ot corn that yields but ten bushels, as it does one that yields eigity, and thus while a few acres may produce large crops that would pay well, those on' the parts that are either naturally poor or are worn or wet, are 6o small as to make the profits on: the whole anything but satisfuctory. If tiere is & quarter section in the whole West, every rod ot which 1s made to pro duce good paying crops, I would go far to see it. But the truth is there is no such placg to be found, and will not be until we realize the folly of buying morc land than we can coltivate well—that amount, of course,always depends upon the amount ‘ of help and capital we are able to com - mand. If we could make up our minds ‘ that every foot of the land we cultivate should be put in the best possible condi tion before we sowed or planted, we should soon be able %o ‘write of different results. If the soil is too wet we must underdrain, if it is poor or worn we must make and apply more manure, and if it is weedy we muet use the plow and cultivator more. Stirring the ground often will kill the weede, and by exposing the soil to the air we favor their decomposition and help to develop the necessary food for the growing crops, atid the land is thereby left 10 a fine, mellow condition for the next sea

The time has loug since passed when it could be profitable for a Western farmer to move his stable to get rid of the manure. ‘The intelligent cultivator of the #oil understands this and will carefully save everything that can be made useful in the manure heap, that he may be enabled to keep hij farm vp to Its primitive tertility. Abové all be must be a thinker, ¢tudy his business, and allow no improve. ment to escape bim; he must devote his best energies, his time and attention, to ull the details of his work, and remember that nothing is likely to prosper withcut the eye of the master, His plans should not only be well laid but well considered, and reach far into the future, else much - will almost surely be done that time will show to be unwise. To such a farmer agricultural books and papers are invaluable, ns suggestive of the various improve: ments that be needs, but he understands that they cpn,ggl(énmh. general princiE_u,.gbe application to his own particur mmuw}y be left to his own good sense- »mnam?m.

~ Rapid Growth of the Chestnnt. Beven years ago, while taking down the old rail fence in front of my place, preparatory to erecting a new board one, I found several small chestnut *seedlirgs among the shrubs, briars, and weeds, which the former owner bad allowed to grow along the roadside in the true shiftless farmer style. The roed being quite narrow, I placed the new fence three to four feet inside of the old one, and wherever: a promising tree or sprout occurred in the proper place it was preserved for a -shade tree. ; One little chestnut tree, not more than five or six feet bigh, I noticed in particu lar, because it had been twisted or grown in paturally among the rails and was very crooked; but, as it stood in theexact place. where a shade tree would be desirable, I carefully disentangled the -stem and re‘marked to my workmen that it would yet be a handsome tree. I bave just measured that tree, and it is twenty eight feet bigh, stem at the base thirty inches in circumference, and at six feet from the ground twenty inches. The stem is a 3 straight =as a reed, except a slight crook near the ground. Last season it produc. ed a few nuts, and this year the ends of the branches bend with their load of large clusters. T'bis tree has received no care, except pruning, the soil about its roots. being. covered with a tough sod. = Other trees upon my place have made equally as good growth, and I only mention this one for the purpose of showing what might be accomplished in a few years, if a man will only make a beginning.— Rural New Yorker. ; =

Training a Meifer, Cows usually become addicted to kick ing when heifers, from being milked by abusive milkers. I have never seen an oid cow become a kicker unléss abused. Instead of cows being averse to being milked when giving a large quantity, I have ever found it the reverse. When pasturage is good, and ccws come bome at night with udders distended with milk, our “déwn east” cows seem grateful to bave it removed. Milking a heifer for the first time requires patience, for they will almost invariably kick. In such a case put a broad strap around haer body, just front of the udder, and buckle it up moderately-tight, and so soon as she gets quiet (for she mny dance around g little at first,) take your pail, sit down and go to milking, for she is as helpless as a kit. ten. 'Do not attempt to use a rope instead of a strap, for it will not answer. This is a much better plan than tying the legs, as it does not hurt the animal in the least. A few applications of the strap, with plenty of paticnce and kindness, will enre the most obstinate case. — Rural Home.

Pastaring on Clover,. Lo T. L Shepard, Lowell, ‘Ohio, says: As I have been puzzled by covflicting testi~ mony in regard to turning cattle into clover, part of which I thought good, and part decidedly bad, I determined to give some rules so plain that the wayfaring wan need 'not err therein, and here they are: ! ‘ , 1. Never put anything into fresh clover pasture on an empty stomach, 2. Never when the grass is wet. 3. Never put them in when the weath: er is changing from warm to cold. : 4 Do not give any salt for ta least twenty four hcurs before putting 1n the first time, nor until the evening of the second day., 5..D0 not let them remain more than twenty minutes the first time, after which they may run, wet or dry,” with perfect safety. C , Without such precautions there is danger of swelling with bloats, and valuable animels are often lost in this” way. Lice on Cattle, . Lice may be removed by pouring a small quantity of kerosene on the card with which they are carded. The application should be frequent, though in small quantities, till the lice all disappear.—. Tbe lousiest herd will be completely re lieved of them in ten days by this appli cation aloue. Tobacco juice isalso an effective cure. o

SOMETHING new in the management of & county fair will be attempted by the Putnam County (Ind.) Agricultural Soci ety next fall.

This plan bas much to .commend it, and we trast will prove in all respects successful,

No More FIvE OR THREE--CENT Pieces.—The pew coinage act, which went into effect April 2, abolishes the sil“ver five-cent and three cent pieces. They, will not be coired hereafter, and they are likely to gain increased numismatic value from that fact, especially those struck during the first three months of the year 1873, as being the last issued and as being fewer in number than those of any full year, - , i it - i e e STATING 1T STRONGLY.—One of the most conclusive points made by the recent convention of fariners at Oglesby, 111., was a statistical one showing the commercial history af a car load of oats shipped from Pine Rock, 111, to Lowell, Mass. Theoats were bought by the shipper at 22 cents a bushel, costing $562.24 ; transported toLowell at an expeuse for one car of $342.22; and sold at 52 cents a bushel for $360.24 ; that is, at a loss of $85.22 to the shipper. - Az, ‘ el 4 A— ‘ ~ The report that the peach crop of Michigan is totally destroyed is contradict - ‘ed, and it is said there wili be about half the usual crop.

: © Mule Coneert. One night at Syracuse we had an amusing entertainment of an original character. I am passionately fond of music and could listen to sweet saunds, I think, uutil my bair would turn grey. I have heard all the great vocalists that have visited this country, but mever until the night in question had my melody longing ears been saluted with so unique a performance as a mule concert. It was irresistibly droll to bear,” though it cannot be described, and . would have made Heraclitus laugh. My compenions and myself were talking about the prospects of the weather when our yoices were all at once drowned with the loudest and shrillest and most penetrating bray I ever heard. = A moment passed and the bray was’ repeated in & baser key, then another and another, each with- a different modulation. All -the mules volunteered for the operatic role, and the atmosphere quivered with the euphoneous notes. Sometimes all the mules would cease but one, and he would execute the solo part, the rest coming in most encrgetically by way of chorus. All voices were represented to the extent of a mule's-capacity,. We bad thie 'soprano and mezzo, the first and second tenor, the baritone, the basso profundo, asd thealto ‘and falsetto. One male would attempt a florid passage, and in the midst of a ronelade would'brenk.w’hen the others,either in applause or ridicnle, would indulge in a species of mule music that was positive ly infernal. Ten thousand tom cats, a million of s:reaming babies, and biilions of intoxicated Teutons endeavoring to play Hail Columbia with the wrong ond of alcornet, might give a faint idca of the souud. - If we could obtain that noise in a concentrated lignid form, and pour it out on the city, it would frighten the in habitants out of their . senses, and make the moon blink with terrified amazement. Indeed it would. For at least four hours the mules kept up their infernul nouge. The inbabitants started from their slum~ bers, the sentinels turced pale; those of the Catholic faith crossed themselves, and said an “Ave Maria"; the horses neighed wildly, and the general impression seemed to be that. Hades bad broken loose, And emptied itself into the camp, I thought I had beard unpleasant noises, but I confess' T was in‘error. No man can justly declare what pcrfccf discord is until he has listened to a mule concert of the high art style, = _ I have often been told that mules were vicious, but now I am convinced they are totally depraved —that they are pbssessed of a devil, and that they let him out through thieir mouths on the night of the ever to be-remembered Jackassical entertainment, | ; BoHEMIAN,

A SiMpPLE REMEDY FoR DIPTHERIA,— A gentleman of Troy, who bad a severe attack of diptheria, says that when the cheking sensation was greatest some pul verized bayberry root happeuning to come in the vicinity of his nose, provoked a snceze. This was of eourse paintul, but the powder penetrated and had the effect of cleanmg out bis throat thoroughly for the time being. Upon repeating the dose once or twice a;day, or as.often ag the occasion required, he feund it to do him more good than all the doctor’s preparations, - The hatd sabstance was loosened, but in small quantities. Since thut time he has recommended it to several suffering in the same way, and all have found re~ lief. .

I'm was sap of a distinguistied railroad man that during the war he wanted some railroad law passed by the Indiana Leg: islature, and on being told that his pro poscd law would be unconstitutional, he replied : “But I have $30,000 to make it constitutional” This is a 4 sample of the sentiments of many railroad magnates.— They care nothing for laws or Constitutions, in their efforts to enrich themselves. They bribe legiclators, and then rob the people. Will the people not see to it that they are repregented by men who cannot be influenced by them ?—Seymour Dem.oerat. . % 5

There is a widespread suspicion that those Congressmen who cause it to be announced that they “have not drawn their extra back pay,” are playing a very shallow game of ’possum ; that they are simply intending to let.the money stay with the Sergeant-at-Arms until the present unwholesome popular indignation has blown over, when they can quietly draw and pocket the amount. Skeptical peo ple profess that they would feel a good deal more confidence in the conscientiousness of the denying gentlemen if they were to put the seductive greenbacks in such a position that they could not be drawn in the future. . .

While he publishes less, so gay our reporters, he is unable to‘ supply the demand. It gains and holds its repntation— : 0 First. Not by stopping cough, but oy loosgning and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy matter collected aboutthe throatand bronchial | tubes, which‘ use irritation. , Second. It remo;/es the canse of irritation (which produces cough) of the muctous membrane al;d._ bronchial tubes, asgists the lungs to act and throw off the unhealthy secretions, and I‘purﬁieé the blood. “Third. It is free from squils. lobelia, ipecac and opium, of which most throat aﬁd lung remedies _are composed, which allay congh only, and disor-, ganize the stomach. It has a soothing effect on the sto“x’nach, acts on the liver and kid‘neys, and lymphatic and nerﬁous régibus, thus reaching to every part of the system, ‘and in its invigorating and purifying effects it has gained a reputation whicl} it must hold :;bove all othersin the markét.

Says a distinguished physiologist : There is scarcely an individual on the face ofthe carth whose body ig'ex- — empt from the présence of worms, It is not upon the healthy ¢elements of the body that worms cxist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy ‘deposits. that brecd these living monsters of disease.
