The Farm and Household. e beies THE BEST MANURES FOR GRAPE VINES. . It is a very common thing for those who have small gardens and yards to worry themselves as to the,best kind of manure for certain crops. One of the. commonest of questions by’ this portion of our friends is, what is the best manure for grape vines? To us who have been throglgh all this thing, the inquiry seems about on a par as to what is the best material for making a pair of breeches. It makes very lit‘tle difference whatr:‘lso far as the kind of article is concerned. So long as it keeps us warm, or covers our bodies when it is already warm, all the rest is little more than taste and convenience. So-far as plant food is concerned any decaying organic matter is :good enough; and when one is on a well managed farm where the manure heap in the barnyard is equal to any demand on it, we never think of looking anywhere for fertilizing material. The corn or wheat crop, the potato ‘crop, the grass crop, flowers on the lawn, vegetables in the garden, trees in the orchard, grapes, apples, pears or strawberries—all eat at the same table, and return thanks for the same goodley meal, - | It is quite possible that some one 'manure is better for some one special crop than another. Indeed plants all varying in a slight degree from one another can hardly be expected to" do equally well on just, the same kind of food. Moreover experiments carefully conducted show that manures have been varied for the same kind of plant at the same time some one has been found to do a‘little more good than another. But after all these special “advantages are not often davailable in a general way. For extensive use they are unattainable; or if to be had, too costly, and thus we continually find that although people know that if all things were equal, some one thing or another would be the “best” manure, they fall back on the old fashiyned barnyard produce. ‘ ‘After all, those niceties as to the best manures, are not the things for those who have not much knowledge to play with. They are only for those who already have had considerable practical experience. It is indeed somewhat unsafc for those who are beginning to grow those things to think much about “best” at all. They should be satisfied with tolerable success, for it is all most will have at rate. What are called best results only come lout after considerable experience. No amount of reading or reflection will make a first class fruit grower or farmer. ' { We would not, therefore, have our inexperienced friends worry themselves about the best manure for grapes or for any other crops. Takeany rot--ten, very well rotten, decaying vegetable matter that comes to hand, and use that. Use it in moderate quantities at first, until experience teaches how much it will bear. This will be found the “best” manure, . v

THE TRUE WAY TO WATER TREES. If trees standing in grass grounds are watered, the surface around about the body, for three or four feet in each direction, should be covered with mulch of some sort, to retard evaporation. It will. be labor lost to water trees on the lawn without exercising this precaution, as water will disappear before a hundredth part has reached the roots. Straw, hay, lawngrass, weeds, shavings, or tan-bark, will make an excellent mulch. Spread the mulch three or four inches deep, ‘pour two or three pailfuls of water arofind each tree, and the water will permeate the entire soil, keep it damp, and’ will supply the moisture which the tree must have or die. If the soil fs in a tillable condition, draw the earth away from the tree to the depth of one or two inches, pourtwo or three pailfuls of water and return the mellow earth, which will keep the surface from baking. Yet mulch is far more preferable to the latter mode. When the soil appears nearly dry to, the touch, the roots cannot possibly derive the needed supply of water to keep the leaves and branches from injury during-the rapid evaporation wlhich is going on night and day, when the atmosphere is as dry and hot as the air in a huge lumberkiln, it will hayve the moisture in every tree and plant and the ;noist%re of our bodies “if it (the hot air) has to take it (the moisture) out of thehide,” Hence, we must drink, and the roots of the trees and plants must be supplied with water or. they wither-and die. A great many persons Scatter the grass from their lawns and the weeds from their gardens in the highway, which is bad horticulture in many respects. If they would . spread such grass and weeds around their growing flowers or around any garden vegetables, the mulch would save the labor of earrying many hogsheads of water to supply the necessary moisture, and the covering would keep the surface mellow, keep the.weeds down, and save a great ‘deal of manual labor, and the crops would be heavier.

PICKLED CUCUMBERS. The small long kind are the best for plekling, and those but half-grown are nicer shan the full-grown. Let them be freshly gathered; pull off the blossoms, but do not rub them; pour » over them a strong brine, boiling hot; "~ cover close, and let them stand all . night. The next day put your hand in the jar or tub and stir gently, to remove all sand, drain on a sieve, and then dry in a cloth. Make a pickle of the best cider vinegar, adding spice in the following proportions: To each quart of vinegar put half an ounce of whole black pepper, the same of ginger and allspice, and one ounce of mustard seed. If the flavor is agreeable, add four shalots, and two cloves of garlic, to gallon of vinegar. When this pickle boils up throw in the cucumbers, and make them boil quickly as 'possible three or four minutes. Put them in a jar with the boiled vinegar and eover closely. When cold, put in a sprig of dill, thes eed downward, if you like it. Made in this way they will be tender crisp and green. If the oolor is not quite clear enough pour off the vinegar the next day; boil up, and pour over the cucumbers; cover p erfectly tight. _

It lAs been found in practice that a light application of salt to newly sown crops has been attended with advantage. The soaking of seed-wheat in brine is beneficial, not only in assisting the early and perfect germination of the seeds; and affording nutriment needed by the young sprout, but as a preventive of smut. Chlorine, one of the chemical constituents of common galt (soda being the other,). has been discovered to exert when present in small quantities, a hastening influence on the germination of, .feds; while the soda—a solvent of silicia—doubtless is the agent which produces the well knowu effect of salt in stiffening.the straw of wheat. We, have made (it a practice to sow one. bushel per acre immediately after sowing our wheat in the fall, and think we have been amply repaid for the small expensge incurred for material and labor.—Ez. ;, HOW TO MAKE TOMATO FIGS. Pour boiling water over the toma~ toes in order to remove the skins; ,then weigh them and place them in a,»l stone jar, with as much sugar as you

have tomatoes, and let them stand two days; then pour off the syrup and skim it until no scum rises. Then pour as before, and then boil and skim again. After athird time they are %t to dry, if the weather is good; if not let them stand in the syrup until drying weather. . Then place on large earthen plates or dishes, and put them in the sun to dry, which will take about a week, after which pack them in small wooden boxes, with fine white sugar between each layér. Tomatoes prepared in this manner will keep for years. ; T How OFTEN are we disappointed in our hopes of having sweet hams during the summer. After carefully cur‘ing and smoking, and sewing them up in bags and white-washing them, we find that either the fly has commenced a family in our hams, or the choice parts around the bones are tainted, and the whole spoiled. Now, this can eagily be avoided, by packing them in pulverized charcoal. No matter how hot the weather or how thick the flies, hams will keep, when packed so, for years. The preservative quality of the, charcoal will keep them till the chareoal decays. Butter put in clear crocks and surrounded by pulverized charcoal will never become rancid.— The recipe is simple—try it.

LIBERAL DEMOCRACY. Hon. W. S. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, having been solicited to become a candidate for Governor of Ohio, writes a letter declining a nomination,and gives his views on the general political outlook. He thinks the historical demoeratic party is spoiled, it blundered constantly during the past ten years, and in the last presidentialws virtually surrendered after many defeats. In such an extremity he thinks it would be wise to give up the old organization and enter into a new one, which should accept the results of the war in good faith $0 as to command the confidence of the people. As toits name hesuggests that of the ‘Liberal Democracy.” We quote:

“You ask in this connection how the question of negro suffrage should be treated. That question is no longer before us. Negro suffrage is the bloody consummation of a great war,and nothing short of war can undo it in our day. “In my opinion it will endure in this _government as long as general suffrage. ‘1 comprehend the objections to it, and ‘ think it was granted too soon to that part of our population recently emancipated. All should make some preparations for this day. We deny suffrage to the foreigner for a time in order that he ‘may prepare for it, and we have schools for all on the theory that all should prepare for it, but it is granted and it can .not berecalled, nor do I think it wise in such a Government:as this to keep permanently so large a‘part of our people in an'inferior degraded condition. Slayery was always adanger. To hold this population now-free in a degraded coi:dition would be a greater danger and always trouble us. Say we have adopied a doubtful policy. It is done. laccept it, and on all such questions admitted to be of doubtful expediency, ! shall for the remainder of my life, ii perchance I must err, strive at léast to be tolerant, generous and humane, and | after all I rely for good voting as much upon the heart as upon the; head. : ;

“T concur in what you suggest. The new ' organization should oppose all forms of monopoly. -This is too plain to need argument. Monopolies are dn outrage and an offense against thc people. -The new organization should oppose centralization, and it should advocate home government in all local affairs, and to the utmost extent that is practicable. You cannot keep « people free, sturdy and intelligeni without home government. It is home government that trains us, teaches self-reliance and developes manliless. Take it away and the Freeman disappears. Centralize power at Washington and we are transferred to outside management,no longer governing ourselves. If we we must be governed depending on Washington, we lose our self-dependence, and the-free citizen soon degenerate into a mere subject, whose whole duty is to obey the law. and whose only desire is to be amuse! in idleness. _

“You refer me also to the question of free trade. The new organization should mage it one of its cardinal doctrines. There should be no equivoc:tion or double meaning about this. A prohibitory tariff is in plain contradiction to the charaecter of our government. We are all equal in rights, privileges and immunities. - There should be no diseriminations, no favoritism, no partialities, presonal or financial, and as a commercial policy « prohibitory tariff is behind the age, almost a barbarism, and beipng’s tothat time when nations were walled and commerce without wings. I believe I have substantially answered your letter. \

“The new organization may properly antagonize the party now administering our affairs, at almost every point. ‘While this is so, it should not undertake to do everything at once, ¢.- push reforms without some regard for immediate consequences. Doings that shock by their abruptness are nol always just or fair. We should move toward them cautiously, surely, anc steadily, but sometimes gradually. 1 don’t believe in daily revolutions, or in sudden and violent derangement of public affairs. Let me suggest a doctrine to which you have not referred. I mean the doctrine of strict construction of the Constitutién. Have you considered that a certain preventive of misgovernment may be found ir the faithful application of this doctrine? I believe such an application of it would correct almost every pullic evil of which we complain. It i: worth your while to test its reach and efficacy, and what a splendid doctrine for such a government as ours! How it exalts the individual man, and how it subordinates the Government! It may fetter the Government now and then, but never the citizen. He always remains uppermost and master. “I am not a politician as competent to advise, but if you should make such a movement.as you propose it should be conducted: 80 as to giye the stongest assurance that it sought reform, and not place. I am a Democrat, but I should be very glad to see the Democracy move out of its old organization into a new one. You will not succeed unless they do it. May be they will refuse, and prefer to tarry where they are for thebalance of the century, and until they can fix the meaning of the resolutions of 98, If so, I suppose I shall tarry with them. After all, I like them, and I like the political homestead. I confess itis somewhat dilapidated. There are no'triumphfi:t banners upon its walls, and victorious shoutings are no lgfifer_ heard within, but it is home still, and I shall not leave it until itf. %l} pulled dom‘!l.l . o G e resrecflvy;. : [Sig[ned] ~v?»s.

‘Where Did the Rich Man Go? - Little Johnny was preparing for Sunday school, situated some distance away, when his mother saw one of the neighbors approaching in a vehicle— This neighbor, by the way, was called “The Rich Man,” being both wealthy, and kind-hearted, liberal to the poor. Johnny ran out, and the rich man took him into his vehicle, as he was going right past the Sunday school. It was a very hot day, so Johnny took off his shoes and stockings to keep himself cool. When they arrived the exercises ‘had already begun, and as the man was going to church about a mile beyond, and had agreed to call for Johnny on his return, he concluded not to put on his shoes and stockings again, and left them in the vehicle. So he tripped lightly into the school, and the man drove away toward church. His teacher was just hearing the lesson, which, bye the bye, Johnny was not acquainted with, which was the fate of the rich man and poor Lazarus. Soon after Johnny entered and took his seat, it came his turn to answer a question. ; “Johnny, can you tell me where the rich man went?” . “He went to the Baptist meeting, sir,” replied the little lad, thinking on1y of his late companion. ' : “No, no, my son,ithe rich man went to hell,” said the teacher with great impressiveness, while the othér scholars were tittering with laughter. “Did he ?” exclaimed the lad, in all honesty. “Then he has taken my shoes and stockings with him!” . and up he jumped, and seizing his hat, he put out of the school room and down the road to overtake the rich man and recover his property. : '

7 An Unequal Match, I know a young man, a noble fellow, who carries on a successful manufacturing business. Although possessed of an abundant competence, he devotes himself with untiring assiduity to the interest of his factory ten hours every day. His eyes and hands are everywhere. Half a year ago he married a beautiful, accomplished girl, who is said to speak four of the continental langua%es with the fluency of natives, while she touches the keys with infinite skill. Four months ago they. began house-keeping. A week since they gave it up in utter disgust. Three servants figured conspicuouslyin their griefs. The coffée was execrable, the steak abominable, the cruel stand and silver not fit to be seen, and the whole house in confusion. He bore it as long as pride and patience could endure, and then, sacrificing everything at auction, returned to boarding, resolved never to suffer the miseries of housekeeping again. 1 was never more indignant than when I heard of it. If that beautiful bride had learned one less language, and devoted the year to the mysteries of housekeeping, she might have made that friend’s home a paradise. Suppose her husband’s management of his business had been like her management of the house, what would have become of them? I don’t think the match a fair one. On one side it was a cheat. A young lady of the same ornamental class, in discussing the case, exclaimed, “She did not agreein the marriage contract to play the part of a household drudge!” Did the husband'agree, to play the part of a factory drudge? —Dio Lewis.

The Michigan Peach Crop. A letter from Allegan to the Detroit P’ost says: “Buyers from Chicago are already purchasing the peach crop of our lake shore towns, and many 'orchards have already had the prospective crop bought and payment. made in cash. One gentleman, Mr. Sandford Shunway, sold the product of his 230 trees for $6OO, and I am informed. that Mr. A. 8. Dyckman, of South Haven, Van Buren county, was offered and refused $lO,OOO for his crops. Mr. Dyckman, last year, took the premium for linving the largest and best bearing orc¢hard in the State.” By

Edmund Osborne, of Greentown, writes to the North- Western Farmer: “A few years ago rather bv.accident than otherwise, a part of my hogs got ‘nto my orchard, and as I found they were doing good work in picking up the windfall apples, I allowed them to remain there. During the season all those that were not in the orchard liad the cholera, and more or less of them died, while those in the orchard -—something like one-third of the whole lot—were thrifty and healthy all the'season, none of them dying with my disease and that too with nothing but-a fence between the two lots of hogs.” - - " —te - > W——— .

WOMAN. B, an immense practice, extending through a period of years, having within that time treated many thousand cases of those diseases Eeculiar to woman, I have been enabled to perfect a most potent and agreeable medicine that meets the indications presented by that class of diseases with positive certainty and exactness. ¢ To designate this natural specific compeund, I have named it Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. The term, however, is but a feeble expression of my most matured a{apreciation of its value, based . U{;on actual and witnessed realities, As & close observer, I have while witnessing its Xositwe results in the few special diseases: incident to the reparate organism of woman, singled it out as the elimax or crowning gem of my medical eareer., On its meritsas agositwe, safe, and effectual remediy‘for this clags o& iseases, and one that will at all timesand under all circumstances act kindly and in harmony with the laws which govern‘the female system. i'am willing to stake my rggumtion as a {)hyeician, Nay, even inore, 8o confident am I that it' will not disappoint the most sanguine ex%ectations of a sinigle invalid lady who employs it for any of the ailments for which I 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'contents of the bottle are used, I will, on return of the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having been taken accordinfi to direc-~ tions, and the case belng one for which I recom mend it, promptly refund the money paid for its Had I not the most perfect confidence in Its virtues, I could not offer it as I do under these condi~ tions; but having witnessed its tml‘y miraculous cures in thousands of cases, X feel wars ranted and perfectly safe in risking both my reputation and my money on its merits. ' The following are among those diseases in which my Favorite Prelcrlgtlon has worked cures—as if by magic and with a certainty never before attained by any' medicine: Leu.orrheea, Excessive Flowing, Painful Monthly Periods, Bup&rensions when from unpatural canses, Irregularities, Weak Back, Prolapeus, or “lling of the Uterus, Anteversion and Retrover‘on, Bearing Down Sensations, Internal Heat, ervous Dflression, Debilit{. Despondency, “i'breatened Miscarriage, Chronic Congestion, Intlammation and Ulceration of the Uterus, Impotency, Barrenness, or Sterility, Female Weakness, and very many other chronic diseases incident to woman not mentioned here, in which, as wall a 8 in the cases which I have mentioned, my Favorite Prescription works cures—the mare vel of the world. This medicine I do not e{tol clas l:.:::re:'u. :ut it adn‘x,ierinbly nm%ls a single rpose, being a most perfect gpecinc in all (gron!:: diseases %f the se:?ul system_of woman. It will not dluippomt, nor -will it do harm in any state or condition. It will be/feund invaluable in diseases incident to preg. nancy, and can be taken in moderate doses wifi: perfect safet; while in that state. Indeed, it is a Mother’s Cordial, and so pmg;res the system for parturition that it renders child-labor easy.
