The Farm and Household. CONDUCTED BY JONATHAN SIMMONS. ‘\ ; Farming and Half Farming. We have known people ambitious to make money, who would spare no labors to increase their income, and when they bad secured it, would-spend it tone purpose—waste it; get rid of it they scarcely knew how--and have nothing to show for < it. They were good to make money, but could not keep or use it well. The only ' good they could get of their money was the deubtful good of having it pass through their hands. There are many people of this stamp; they can get business and doit; can earn great wages; drive and push through any amount of toil; make long and close calculations; talk largely and well enough about busis ness, but cannot increase their own capi= tal. Their purse will not hold money; it leaks; it seems like the fabled pit; without a bottom ; or like the miller's dam, whether it rained much or little, would hold no water or most likely, they have no purse. Their money burns their pockets and hands ; they have spent it before it is got, or plans on hand forits disposal. Muych like thisclass of people are many farmers—they can raise good crops, but cannot make thewn pay; they neglect their fences, and the cattle break in just before barvest, or if they get a good crop have no place to secure it ; fine ficlds of hay and grain‘are gathered, butthere are 0o barns and granaries to keep them; the ~ froit trees yield well, butthere are no means for preserving the ftruit, and it goes to waste; the root crops are good,. but the frost and winter destroy them, bex cause they cannot bear everything; the farming implemcnts 10t more than they weur, " because the rain and sun are ever pelting and scorching them; the cows give good milk, but the want of dairy appliances makes the milk of but little value; the pigs are in the corn crib; the sheep arein the garden ; the kitchen' has no wood, butlives from hand to mouth; the house bas no cellar; the water is far away. Everything works the hard way; there 1s much done, but little saved.— When spring comes everything is gone ; seeds of all kinds must be bought; the rotten wutensils replaced by new; the broken down fences made over ; the peeled and browsed fruit trees replaced by new and young ones; and a world of la- . bor'spent to get the farm into working order. So it goes year after year; much is done, but little improvement made and all the difficulty lies in want of order and taste in the style of farming. No man of order or taste will see gates hanging on one binge, fences reeling, everything look ing like old chaos or young ruin; men of taste will husbanda their farms, and men of real farming skill will have ar rangements for making the most ot all they get, for shaving or marketing, that nothing be lost. It is the farmer’s losses that keep them back, and the most of - their losses are by their own negligence or want of skill. There is much half ' farming ; they waste a great deal of labor and time. The art of keeping everything in order Jies in havin a place for everything, and putting everything in its place when ued; in making repairs when needed ; in always putting odd moments of time, rainy days, etc., to making improvements, arranging convenience, and in getting ready for the season’sactive labor, Let all balf farmers mend their ‘ways as fastias possible, so will they mend their fortunes and their temporial interests. . r

How to Cook Pork. An intelligent lady writes 1 follows: “There are times when salt pork is our only resource in the way of meat,and there are several ways of cooking 4t so that it is very palatable. “Of course -it must be thoroughly tresheded by boiling it three or four minutes in either fresh milk or water. And herelet me say I think a great many cooks cut the slices of pork. too thin. They ought to be at least a ' balf an inch thick. Then bave your fryingspan hot, and after flouring each slice put it in the pan and don’t leave it, but be ready to turn each elice/as soon as it is brown on one, which will not be long if you have used milk to freshen it with; and if not, add a teaspoorful-of cream to it as soon &8 it begins to fry. If you wish gravy, leave two or three teaspoontuls of lard in the pan, and add flout enough to thicken it (dry flour) and let it get thoroughly cooked. Then add a bowlful of half cream and balf milk, and stir it constant ly until it is smooth. s ‘“‘Another nice way of preparing pork for the table is to soak a piece entire in tepid water over night. About an hour and a half before dinner make a common flour of Yorkshire pudding; and an easy way to make enough for six or seven per sons is seven eggs to two quarts of milk, a little salt, and flour enough to Inake a thin batter. Put this on an ordinary baking dish, und after wiping your piece of pork dry, place it in the center of your pudding and bake it an hour and a half, according to the heat of your oven. You will be surprised to find how nice the pork is,and the pudding is excellent with or without sauce. “Then, for a variety, I make occasion - ally what I call & pork pot pie, though it, is mot cooked in a pot at all, but on what I call a long griddle. I freshen the pork the same a 8 when I am going to fry it,and if you are going to have four or five more to help eat it you want as many slices a 8 you can place on your griddle. Peel and slice enough potatoes to make a thick layer over the pork, and don't forget to salt and pepper your potatoes. Over this Fut,a layer of mice soda biscuit dough rolled thin, then add a pint or so of water,and put over the whole the cov~ er of your wash boiler, for the stove man didn’t calculate you were going to use your griddle for this purpose, and conse quently did not prepare any cover. As soon as the pork hegins to brovgn, remove the biseuit and potatoes from oune end of “the griddle to a dish and turn the pork, and then move the next portion of biscuit and potatoes onto the pork already turned, and turn over the pork now exposed, and when you get to the other end of the griddle replace the potatoes and biscuit you removed from the griddle and put on your cover, and if your fire is sufficient your dish will soon ‘be done. This is very nice-with the cream gravy poured over it, and it is always eaten, every bit of it, at our house by children and grown people. ‘

Drilling Corm. Here is what a Virginiansays: “I took a field of about seventeen acres, and, after preparing it in the usual way, drilled the rows three and a half feet apart, leaving the stalks eighteen inches apart. This was a field on which the usual crop had been about thirty bushele per acre, being planted in hills three feet and three inches each way, with two stalks to the hill. 1 used manure enough, as I thought, to add ten bushels corn more ‘o the acre. The result was, my poorest acre yielded forty~five bushels. I think the drilling process added at least ten bushels to the acre to the old way. Four orfivé ot my neighbors made the same experiment with about like results, Indeed, it is no longer experimenting here, as facts for the last few years have groven that drills are more profitable than bills, 4nd a large interest is being manifested init. Itisa (Fopuln error that corn can only be drilled with a machine on smooth land, as part of the land I drilled last year was just cleared and full of stumps, e et oo aperi ¥ A writer in the Gardeners' (hronicle says people should not put raw horse manure into frames without mﬂu boiley or the purpose of ng' wi lice, which breed wonderfully fast in the heat: ing materials. 4

° Practical Suggestions. ol When commencing to feed grain to :2&?' tot:o muv.sbhceu'eﬁ ea’nno&;e talken not ive much at first ; begin lightly, uug inerease gradually uatil the mngmu’@’n feed is reached. : The Garden, of London, records an ex~ perience going to show that scions and cuttings retain their vitality much longer than has been generally supposed, those of vines, plums, fige, apples and pears taken from England to the colony at Victoria have been worked with success ‘nine months after -being severed from the parent stock. A good way to strengthen an ordinary board fence is to take good straight pieces of cord wood and nail it firmly midway between each two posts. This will so stiffen the fence that medium sided ani ‘mals cannot break it down by jumping on it. Then if you choose to put a board flatwise on top you will have a' buncomb fence., - i i SR

Young farmers should make their own fruit nurseries. Start with hglf an acre, growing apples and pears, budding or grafting in due season, and, giving good cultivation, they will be certain to make good sale in any part of the United States. Of course they must bave sense and learn how to do it, but there need be no trouble if the inclination exists. . . Tt

~ If people planting orchards would give orders to mark the north side of trees with red chalk before they are taken up, and when set out to have them putin the ground with the north#ide to the north in their natural position, a larger portion would live. Ignoring nsture’s law is the cause of so many transplanted trees dying. If the north side is exposed to the south, the heat of the sun is too great for that side ot the tree to bear, and therefore it dries up and decays. ! | Provided the wind does not blow, a cloud of smoke will often protect crops from frost. Crops of apples, it is said, have been saved by building fires in the orchard when a could night comes in the budding season, the salvation being due to the overhanging psll of smoke, not to direct heat. In the South, frost has been kept from tobacco beds by the same means. In France, tar grepared in a pe culiar manner, is placed in vessels and burned in flelds which it is desirable to shelter. Thick clouds of smoke rise a few yards into the air and spread out evenly over quite a large tract. - Grafiing wax is useful in pruning to cover wouuds, and hence it is useful to have on hand, even when not expecting to graft. ' The proporticn of ingredients (tallow, beeswax and rosin) are one, two and four, in the order aamed, though the London Garden says that when beeswax is very expensive one-third less will do. Stir' well when made, and keep in a cool place. - We will add: To keep it from sticking to the hands and fingers, wben mixing or applying it, keep them well greased ; if you de not it will stick closer than a brother. o

In selecting eggs for hatching all mon strosities should be avoided, asthey will not hatch., The same hen will sometimes lay a very large egg, and at another time a very small one. They will serve well to eat, but not for hatching. What is wanted is to select eggs of the average gize aud appearance peculiar to the varie~ ty from which you bréed—nothing. else. Very long, very short, and very rough eggs should always be avoided. Time will’ be saved, too, by not trying to select eggs which will bring either cocks or hens, as the art of telling the sex of an egg by its shape or color has not yet been discov ered. This advise of course is for the storage breeCer—the fanciers and amateurs may experiment as: much as they please, as they can betterafford it.-—— Country- Gentleman. .

To Get Tender Horseradish, A celebrated English gardener says: “It may not be generally known that if leaves or litter be placed on the tops of borseradish crowns, two feet or so thick, the plants grow through them in the course of the summer, making small white roots the thickness of one’s fiager, which are as tender ag spring radishes, and much to be preferred to the tough, stringy stuff usually supplied with our roast beef.” : o : ~ Oiling Harness. | Harness should never be used over six months without oiling. Pure neatsfoot oil is the best; goose oil is good ; liver or tanner’s oil is usetul to soften, while tallow tends to fill up the pores and keep out water. The addition of beeswax to the tallow would have a tendency to harden the leather and keep out water, and a further addition of a little lampblack would improve its appearance. 'Neatsfoot oil, as snld, is usually adulterated. A better article can be made by chopping up the feet of cattle and boiling them' freely ; cover all with water, and when cold skim off the oil and cleanse it. A pint to a set of feet is costly, but it 1s valuable. Take the harness apart, or unbuckle it as much as convenient, and put it into the soap suds of the last washing, giving it & good soaking, then take 1t out upon a bench of the proper height for convenience, and remove all the dirt and gummy substance with the assistance of a stiff brush and the soap suds. By this time the water bas dried from the surface, and then apply the oil and & lit~ tle lampblack mixed, with a common paint brush, and dry in the sbade; if frozen all the better. When dry wipe off with a cloth and put together. A harness treated in this manner will last twice as long as it will without proper oiling and care. The more leather is neglected the darker will it become, inwardly, and the darker the less life remains, and the less good will oil do to recuperate it when applied.

Flower Garden Hints. So many people say that their flowers, which once did well, do not thrive any more; and the reagson is incomprehensible to them. In many cases the trouble is from worn-out soil; and if a little manure or a little fresh dirt, be added occasionally, it is wonderful what an effect it will have on the renewed %rowth of half worn out root stocks. Some kinds ot flowers soon grow surly and bad-temper-; ed unless they have a complete change of earth once in a while. The verbena is of this character. In perfectly fresh soil — that is, earth which has pever grown a verbena before—it grows like a weed; but the next year it is not quite so well, and in a few years it absolutely refuses to creep, run, or do anything; and we are forced to confess that the verbena won's do for us as it used to do years ago. Other flowers are not so stubbornly fastidious as the verbena; but still all, more or less, like to feel rejuvenated by an ad. dition of some kind occasionally to: the earth-blessings they have already been treated to. Almost all. our best hardy flowers are native of woods, or low, undisturbed lands, where the decaying leaves from the trees, or the washings of higher surface lands, makes a new annual entertainment for them; and it has been found by experiment that nothing is so good for these Jmtt‘y little flowers as well decayed leaf-mould from the woods, ng:cad around the root stocks just wbove the ground. But where this cannot be bad, any other well decayed vegetable re fuse that may be “laying nogbd’ loose” will do very aen;léy as well. Btrong, rich manute—barnyard manure—has not been found very gooq‘gq:,,gnden flowers, It makes the berbage too strong, and the flowers less in proportion. = But if nothing more natural eéan be got at to help the flowers along, and the soil seems exhausted and poor, this will be found ‘much better than leaving the plants to mqrhminathe best they can. This is. the time of the year to think -of these things,

The profits of farming should consist, [ in a large measure, in the improvement ‘ of the farm itself and its belosgings, and ‘there can be no better investment than ‘this. That is, very poor farmmg, if wor thy to be called farming, which, though ,it may nominally show a cash balance, leaves the homestead in & worse instead of a better condition than it found it. What is a Blooded !lorsé. He is a horse having more than an ordinary amount of drops or pounds of blood in his system in propoition to the size and weight. This large amount of blood acts upon his system througb a large heart, and:correspondingly large arteries and.veins, and put ‘in motion, it actsin driving him to speed, the same as an'in« creased amount of fire under the boiler drive makes the machinery go faster.— This large amount of blood also acts in refining the skin, making it and the horse of less blood ; it refines and gives elacticity to the muscles, the feet, &c. It refines the entire horse, making strong the valuable pafts, and fitting the whole system for speed and endurance.

Use of a Receipt, In acity not a thousand miles from this locality there lives a lawyer, crafty, sub—tle, and cute as a fox. 'An Indian of the Choctaw tribe, Kiser by name, owed him some money. The lawyer had waited long for the tin. His patience at last gave way, and he threatened the Indian with lawsuits, processes and executions, The poor Choctaw got scared and finally brought the money to his creditor. He waited for the lawyer to give him a receipt. - ; _ “What are you waiting for ?” said the lawyer. ' “Receipt,” said the Indian. ‘A receipt,” said the lawyer, “a receipt. What do you know about a receipt. Tell me the use of ene and I will give it to you'” = i . z - The Indian looked at him a moment and then said : ibe il “S'pose may be me die; me go to heben; me find de gate locked; me sae de npostle Peter; he says, ‘Kiser, what you want? me eay, ‘want to get in;’ he say, ‘you good man ?’ me say, ‘yes;’ he say, ‘you pay Mr. A. that money ? What me do? I hab no receipt; hab to hunt all ober hell to find you.” ‘ - He got his receipt.— Qlarksville ( Tezas) Times. .

Is there Material for Lenders Among the FDI’,’IP?DE Class, We are led to ask 'this question by the doubtful expressions of a correspondent who fears that the answer must. be nega tive. If we but consider a moment where the leading business and professional men come from, there certainly need be no reason to fear. A gentleman of high official pasition and acquainted with all the lawyers of the State of Tennessee, remarked in couversation a few days since that without a single exception, every one of any prominence has been raised and edvcated in the country. Those growing up in the city lack the physical stamina to successfully compete for the higher places. . | The great trouble is a lack of confidence. on the part of farmers to attempt to lead. But little practiced in public speaking, they bave too long labored under the impression, that failing in this regard the lacked the essential qualities for the leady ership. - The wordy, professional men have encouraged the idea: because they bave profited thereby. And they have almost come to believe that hard common . gense is nct 80 great a requisite to sutcess in life after all. The farmers are, how‘ever, fast learning that there is not so much to reverence in the character of our great men as they have all along believed, and ‘when they come to analyze’' their actions, they find them but humar ‘beings, possessed ' of the common’ frailties of the ,I'Boo- % 2 ? ;. 5L ¥t s l 1 , .

_ Demoecracy and Free Trade. [From the Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.] ~ The New York World proposes to ignore the Democrats of Pennsylvania in the Presidential campaign of 1874, by getting the next national eonvention of the Democracy to adopt free trade as the shibboleth of the party. It speaks of “the Pennsylvania influence which has hamstrung the democratic party in every Presidential clection” as one to be gotten rid of at every hazard. We will not-pause to discuss the importance of Pennsylvania ‘in 8 presidential elgction, nor will we, as we might, give the World a Roland for its Oliver by suggesting that it were well _enough to be quit of that New York influence which in'lB6B gave usa candidate whose defeat was a foregone. conclusion _from the very hour of his nomination and - which at a later day weighed the Demo_cracy to the earth with the odium of the Tammany Ripg. We desire merely to correct the mistaken opinion entertained by ~our New York cotemporary in respect to the views of the Pennsylvania Democracy ~on the subject of the tariff. While it is true that the free trade idea has not been received with favor by the Democrats of Pennsylvanis, it is equally true that but ~a small minority of them accept the doctrine of the Protectionists, ~ The Democracy of Pennsylvania favor a tariff for revenue purposes. It may be said, so do the Protectionists. - There is this difference, however: the Democrats would so lay the tariff taxes as to hamper commerce as slightly’as possible, while the Proteg. tionists would impose them so asto restrict importations and cripple trade with foreign countries. A tariff for revenue is sometimes confounded with free trade. We have frequently used the terms as synonymous in these columns. When we ‘expressed qur belief in the practicability and propriety of the free trade theory we bad no thought of the immediate atolition of all tariffs, but of the application of the free trade principle to the adjustment of “the tariff for revenue. Few persons in or out of Penusylvania have seriously contemplated the posgibility of the complete abandonment of duties on imports as a means of raising revenue, Absolute free trade has its correlative in direct taxation. We cannot have the former without the latter. Now, granting that indirect tax ation is more productive of frauds upon the revenue and that it returns to the treasury less of the monev collected from the people, than the system of a direct levy and collection of taxes, it is not to be disputed that the country is unwilling to exchange the tariff for direct taxation. Populus vult decipi Taxes in the shape of increased prices of merchandise appear less repulsive to the average citizen tban taxes set down opposite his name in the assessment book. He forgets that the importer, the ,wholesale dealer and the retailer, each in bis turn, collects a tax which, with its accumulations, he finally pays in his purchase of food, raiment, working tools, machinery, building materials, fuel and other necessities ot' his household or of his occupation. He is deceived, but he likesa deceptizn so skillfully practiced as to confound ‘him utterlywhen he undertakes to ascertain its extent. The tariff schedule is a riddle to him, and what is worse,he rarely, if ever, gets a sight of it. The fact is that he does not know when he pays the tariff taxes nor what sums they take from bhis pocket.. He may occasionally learn from bis newspaper, or some peripatetic lec turer on free trade, that he actually does pay such taxes, but the arithmetic involv ed in the subject perplexes him and he finally concludes that “where ignorance is bliss 't is folly to be wise.” Even the western farmer, to whose welfare freedom of trade is absolutely essential, does not seem 10 be clear in his mind as to .the propriety of abolishing the tariff. In the ‘Farmers’’ Convention recently held at Springfield, Illinois, the free trade reso—lutions adopted during the early days of the session were recinded before the body adjourned. All this but serves to show that the public mind needs to be educated on the subject of taxation. The World has done excellent service as an educartor. It bas taken the position in Tax Reform which Garrison's Liberator occupied in the anti slavery movement. Theadvanced : ground which it has taken will some time be the battle field of two great political parties. But it will be apprrached gradually by the cautions politicians who lead the people. In the next Presidential canvass, tbe Democrats will make the issue of a tariff solely for revenue as against a tariff laid for the benefit of spe< cial classes or interests. On this issue the Demccracy of Pennsylvania will be found battling shoulder to shoulder with their brethren « f other States. Neither the World, " nor any other newspaper which way undertake to dictate the policy of the Democracy, can excommunicate the Démocrats of Pennsylvania bLecause of non conformity with the well -established doctrine of the party on' the sub’ect of the tariff ~ The Democrats of this State ?ave never swerved from the principles laid down in the Polk and' Dallas piatform, which was not opposed by “the Pennsylvania influence,” but received the endorsement of our people and of the whole country.. Where the Democracy of Pcnnsylvania stood-in 1844, on-the tariff question, they stand to.day. The World may do well to preach its crusade against custom houses. We shall give it our bumble assistance so far as the application of the principle of freedom 'of trade to’ the re.adjustment of the tariff is concerned. i But we shall not be ready to run a Quixotie tilt against the tariff as a means of raising revenue, at so early a period as the Presidential election of 1876, . -

WOMAN. By an immense ‘practice, extending through a period of years, having within that time treated many thousand cases of those diseases peculiar to woman, 1 have been enabled to perfect a most potent and agreeable mediciné that meets the indications presented by that class of diseases with positive certainty and exactness. 2 To designate this natural specific compound, I - haye named it = ‘ ; 5 5 Sidad | Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preseription. The term, however, is but a feeble expression of | my most matured apprecintion of its value, based ugon actunal and witnessed realities. As a close observer, I have while witnessing its gositive results in the few special diseases incidént to the separate organism of woman, gingled it out as the climax or crowning gem of my medical career. On itsmeritsasa Yosmve, safe, and effectual remedy for this class o[l( iseases, and one that will at all times and under all circumstances act kindly and in harmoni' with the laws which govern the female system, I am willing to stake my [:gnmt.ion as a ?hyeiciam. Nay, even more, 8o confident am I that it will not disappoint the most sanguine expectationsof a sm¥le invalid lad¥ who employs it for any of the ailments for which T recommend it, that I offer and sell it under A POSITIVE GUARANTEE. If & beneficial effect is not experienced by the time two-thirds of the eontents of the bottle are used, I will, on return of the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having been taken aecording to directions, and the case bein%‘one for which I recommend it, gmmpﬂy refund the money paid for it. Had 1 not the most perfect confidence in Its vir= tues, I conldnot offer it as I do under these conditions; but haviniwitnesaed its t.ml{ miraculous | cures in thousands of cases, I feel ware ranted and perfectly safe inrisking both my reputation and my money on its merits, - . The following are among those diseases in which my Faveorite P‘relgrigtlon has worked cures—as if by magic and with a certainty never ‘before . attained by &ny medicine: Leucorrheea, Excessive Flowing, Painful Montm{ Periods, SupPressxons when from unnatura causes, Irregularities, Weak Back, Ptaﬁapsus, or’ falling of the Uterns, Anteversion and Retroversion, Bearing Down Sensations, Internal Heat, Nervous "&)ﬂ)resslon,' Debim Despondency, Threatened Miscarriage, Chr C‘%lgestion, Inflammation and Ulceration of the Uterus, Tmpo-' tency, Barrenn@ss, or Sterility, Female Weakness, ~and very‘m%ny otl:ar c?ol::ln rd{lsleuegsi iicident tﬁ . woman_ not mentioned here, in which, as we g‘a' in r}:ﬁe’\p cases iﬁcﬁ I have mex'x't}:oned, my Favorite Prescription. works cures—the mar= vel of the'%&ld. %his medicine I do not oxtol as & cnre-all, but' it admirably fulllls & singleness of u:})oqé’.bo&nga most. per--8 Slot Ko S e ) o ‘system. of woman. 1t will 1 88 y Dor Willit do harm fn any state somoﬁdmgg. 1t will _be feund invaluable in diseasesincident to pi'eﬁ; namcy, and can be taken in .m: ite doges wit! ‘pepfect safei;l while in that state.
