The Farm and Household. FARMERS OF NOBLE COUNTY :—Remember that the Noble County Fair will commence on the 23d of September and continue four days. Get your articles for exhibition in readiness, and invite your friends who may not heretofore have interested themselves in these exhibitions to join in a determined effort to render the eighteenth the most successful Fair ever held in Noble county. : IN mulching strawberries with sawdust, only such should be used as will not be liable to sour. That made from some kinds of oak and elm, and possibly others, is unfit for the purpose. ity

i SEEDING FALL WHEAT, ¢ "The failuré to reap remunerative crops of winter wheat on the prairies of the West does not lie in any organic difficulty in the soil, but almost entirely in the liability to winter killing, which on the old soils is the rule and not the exception. This is 'due to mechanical alteration in the virgin soils, - and the want of drainage; therefore, any plan which will 'obviate this will, in just such a degree, render the soil again fit for this crop, as it always is in its natural state when first broken. If drainage could be accomplished before the soil through repeated plowing, when too wet, had lost its porosity, there is no reason why it should not continue to raise crops of wheat so long as its fertility remained. The fact that the more are nauceous or sandy soils do so continue to produce good erops, is sufficient proof that the. want of drainagé’is the primary disa< bility. To point-out some of thg methods of obviating this difficulty is the object of this article. o It has been heretofore stated in the Western Rural that the soil might be brought back to a certain degree, to its former condition by allowing the land to lie for some years in pasture or meadow ; if a good clover sod can.be turned over and thoroughly prepared for the seed, leaving the drainage open through the dead furrows, wheat will Winter all right unless the season be an exceptional one. Where the seeding is to be done on old land, following other crops on a - fallow, the land should be plowed in such a way as will enable the dead furrows to most easily and quickly carry off the superfluous water; in which case, if the seed be sown early enough to insure a good root, and sufface drainage be kept open between the dead furrows and the low places in the field, the freezing out will not - be excessive. In plowing, the width of the lands riust be governed by the lie of the land, but, in any case, they should not be more than four rods wide, and if. phe soil be adhesive and level, two rods is better. : The dead furrows should not,h be seeded, but should be cleaned out thoroughly, so as to leave the water way perfectly free after the seed has been covered. One of the best plans for ac- . complishing this is by means of a large and strong shovel plow, with wings passed both ways in the dead furrows, and drawn by & ‘strong, slow, steady horse. If these directions be carried out, there is no:reason why winter wheat should not take its regular place in the rotation on prairie farms, - Again, where wheat is to be sown _ among growing corn, the same plan of plowing in land should have been adopted, and after sowing and covering with a_double shovel plow, or one of the implements made especially for seeding in such fields, the furrows may be opened in the way heretofore indicated, but after the corn has been husked on the hill, we should much - prefer losing the fodder to allowing cattle to féed thereon 'unless it be at a time when the soil is dry and unfrozen, or the earth covered with snow,— Next to allowing the soil to be poach- - ed when wet, we consider the slipping of the hoofs of cattle and horses on the frozen, or worse, partially thawed soil, erushing and breaking the crowns . of the plants, to be most injurious. If + the stalks can be left onin the Spring, until the ground be settled, and the wheat has made sonje growth, so much the better, since they will protect the plants from the freezing and thawing 80 detrimental during the early Spring. If the stalks when cut be allowed to lie on the ground, they will be no . hindrance to the harvesting of the crop, since the harvester will pass at such a height that the remains will not discommode the reaper to any serious extent.— Western Rupyal.

. LIGHT HARNESS., i Farm-work, during the hot summer months, requires only the lightest harness. In the citiesghe harness worn by street railroad horses is as scant as is consistent with the work they have to perform. No breeching used,: and ‘hipstraps are dispensed with. Teams may-often be seen in the hot days of July and August, plowing in the same harness they wore during the winter, This is unneeessary; nay, sometimes it amounts to positive cruelty. Remove every superfluous strap, take away the back-strap and erupper band, and let the air circulate freely around the body. At night, when the work is over, wash the sweat and dust from the legs and thighs. of the horse; a dash of water on his flanks would be grateful to him. Let his stable be airy and' clean, with a bedr« of; clean straw. Kindness to these serviceable animals is' the truest economy. Besides, we feel far better when our horses - are made comfortable. The sensation!is akin to that derived from doing a benevolent act. A sensitive man cannot see a horse sweating under and galled by a heavy harness during the intense heat of a summer’s day, without sympathy and pity, nor can he retire to rest with an easy eonscience, knowing that his faithfui servants in the stable are not’ properly cared for, i

From Oar Dumb Animaly, : LHORSE NOTES. Do not throw battles, broken glags, or nails into the street. Many horses are wounded and spoiled by this thoughtlessness. . A gentleman in Philadelphia is said to have never failed but once in a hundred trials to induce a balky horse to start, by tying a string tightly around his ear close to his head. Have any of our readers tried it ? e ‘One of our agents writes that he has prevented his horse from being annoyed by all kinds of flies, by the use of a mixture of one-third of fish-oil and two-thirds of kerosene oil. This is sprinkled on his horse-brush, which is passed lightly over the hLiorse. We hope horse-owners will try it. See how much you can lighten your harness during the hot weather. The back-strap and breeching can often be removed without trouble from double teams or carriages. A breast-plate is cooler than a collar, and will answer | well for pleasure carriages, | When you are perspiring freely after a little unusual exertion, or are suffering with heat when exposed to the sun, think of your horse under the same circumstances, use him as moderately as you can, and rélieve him ag 800 N as you can, _ : 2

THE STYLE OF FARMING CHANGING. Farmers are slow to adopt new customs, and are strongly inclined to follow ancestral leadings, ddubtless on account of their conservative home life; but a change seems inevitable.— Corn was once one of the staples of New England, but comparatively little i 3 now" raised. Western corn can be bought and delivered in New England for about seventy-five cents a bushel, while such is the price of farm labor that it costs at least a dollar a bushel to raise it here. Fat- cattle were once very popular in the river valleys, but the fact that there is less money in them than formerly has changed this style of farming, teo.— The country is larger than it used to be, and the modes of communicating ~easier; hence’ neither Westfleld nor Deerfield, can reasonably expect to ‘monopolize the trade in large fat cattle, as once they did. 'The mountain ‘towns also. once took in their fancy matched steers, but milch cows and dairy are now growing more into their favor. The rearing of oxen, the manufacture of butter and cheese, the fattening of swine and poultry and the Winter hauling of wood and timber, were once considered the essential routine and glory of New England husbandry. But very little of these are found profitable now. Indeed horses have largely taken the place of working cattle; dairy- products come chiefly from factories, swine’s flesh is unfashionabls, the steady love of poultry has given way to a periodical henflawenza; and it is found easier to buy coal than to saw wood. The times have changed, and values have altered with them, so that it is not only an idle but fatal error to stick to the old paths. The dilapidated homesteads and the antiquated look of some of the young farmers are evidence of their 'strong but unwise attachments to old things. Farm life is not necessarily a vegetative one. With greater enterlprise. we.believe will come a greater ~success in farming, and 8o a greater love for it. - i

| A FEW SHEEP ON THE FARM. The relative profit is much greater, \says the American Rural Home, from 'a small flock than a large one. The grain farmer, no matter how few his |acres, can make money by keeping sheep, There is always room for them somewhere, ‘and they consume, and turn into money, food that otherwise would waste. But he must be careful not to overstock. To illustrate: Suppose the farmer cultivates only eighty acres, raising grain chiefly. He keeps a few cows and the necessary teams. One fifth meadow; ‘one planted, one spring grain, and one wheat. He thinks he has as much stock as-he can profitably keep, but if he put on one sheep to every five acres he will find their products clear gain. In the spring, early, they can run on the sod which is to be planted, and one sheep to each acre will not hurt the land, yet they will live well. Afterwards they can go into the pasture, and will glean after the cows to advantage. A run on the stubble after harvegt will not be felt where each sheep has two acres, and in the fall there ig plenty of feed. Through the winter they can be well kept on what the other stock would not consume, with the addition of a little grain.— Probably the most profitable are some of the coarser wooled mutton breeds. Their lambs sell to the butchers for high prices, and when fat the sheep fetch as much as a yearling steer.— Sixteen mutton sheep, well managed, would produee a yearly income of $lOO, where if none were kept, nothing would be realized. The greatest drawback is liability to loss by dogs; and it is a disgrace to any State to protect its curs ‘so well that they expel, to a certain extent, the only animal which can cheapen the meat and clothing of the people.

PLOWING OUT POTATOES. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes: In the absence of a good potato digger, the idea of plowing them out is not a bad one. Ihave tried it with good success. Where land is- passably clean, and the potatoes lie in the center of the hill, like ‘Early Rose, Peerless and Excelsior, take a common double moldboard shovel plow, hitch on two horses and plow out every other, row. Have the potatoes picked up and plow the alternate rows. Wheén they are all plowed out, and those that can be geen picked up, run over the ground with a common harrow (Thomas’ smoothing harrow would undoubtedly be much better,) and the potatoes will be out as clean as though dug by hand, and in less than half the time the same help would do ‘the work by hand digging. In two pieces, where I dug them in this way, I think there were less potatoes left in the ground than would be left in by hand diggers. The first piece I dug in this manner I plowed immediately for rye, and 1 was surprised to find so few potatoes left. ; S

‘: GREEN CORN PUDDING, Allow one long ear of sweet corn for each person. Take half a pint of milk, one egg, a dessert spoonful of white sugar, one of sweet butter, and a teaspoonful of salt to every two ears, Beat the eggs and sugar well together, and add the milk and salt. Cut the corn off the cobs with a sharp knife, and chop the divided grains with a chopping knife, but not too fine; or, better still, split each row of graing down the middle before cutting them off the cobs. The corn must not be boiled first. Stir the chopped corn into the milk, and bake in a brisk oven in custard cups or a tin’ pan until the top is nicely browned, but not hardened.; Serve hot, without sauce. This is a delicious dish. Comynon corn may be used, if young and tender, but requires again as much sugar. |

PRESERVING PLUMS WITHOUT SKINS. Pour boiling water over large egg or magnum bonum pluins; coverthem until it is eold, then pull off the skins. Make a syrup of a pound of sugar and a teacup of water for each pound of fruit; make it boiling ‘hot and pour it over; let them remain for a day or two, then drain off and boil again; skim it clear and pour it hot over the plums; let them remain until the next day, then put them over the fire in the syrup; boil them very gently until clear; take them from the syrup with a skimmer into the pots or jars; boil the syrup until rich and thick; take off any scum which may arise, then let it cool and settle, and pour it over. the plums. If brown sugar is used, which is quite as good, except for green gages, clarify it as directed. - ' FELON CURE. -~ I want to give a simple remedy for a felon. Burn copperas on a shovel until it is soft and can be made fine.— Then mix a small quantity of it with enough of the yolk of an egg to make a plaster. Only mix enough at once for one plaster, as it soon becomes ‘hard. Put a new one on whenever it gets stiff, and the felon will come to an end. So many people suffer so long with felons, I think anything that will help shorten their career ought to be known.—Cor. Western Rural. : TOMATO HONEY. To each pound of tomatoes allow. the grated peel of a lemon and six fresh peach leaves; boil them slowly till they are all to pieces, then squeeze

them through a bag; to each pound of liquid allow a pound of sugar and the juice of one lemon; boil them together until they become thick jelly; then put them into glasses and lay (iouble tissue paper over the top. el — e e i ‘MASS CONVENTION. ; Degeneracy is written upon the records of all political parties that have become powerful. We are rapidly approaching a crisis in our Nation’s History, in which the people are to decide whether cliques, and secret rings, ‘who revel in the spoils of dishonesty, or the industrious masses who paythe taxes, shall officer and control the American Government. ‘There is no hope of obtaining relief through existing political org&tniza—‘ tions and a reform at the ballot box, regardless of parties, is at this time both a political and a moral necgssity. The secret orders are, we believe, dangerous rivals of the christian religion, : : ; Therefore, we, the undersigned, request such of our fellow citizens as are opposed to the secret orders and who desire justice in the administration of ourlaws, equal civil rights for American Citizens, the purity of the pulpit and_freedom of ‘ghe press, to mmeet with us in Mass Convention on the 20th day of October, 1873, at 10 ‘o’clock, a. m., in the town of Albion, Noble county, Indiana, to form an organization auxiliary to “The National Christian Association opposed to Secret Societies,” and to transact such other business as may be properly submitted to the convention. ¢ S.

New Organization at Cromwell. There is now under headway a movement which, if suecessful, will secure to our village a gapping corps. The members will be required to be on duty Sundays from 9.o’clock A. M., to the close of church services in the evening. During the day a division will be stationed at each corner of the square, and while on duty each one must be fully equipped with chewing and smoking materials. = The service will consist chiefly in gapping, gazing and staring at the ladies while passing to and from church, making light and trifling remarks about the dress, style and movements of ladies, loud laughing,” rough and uncouth talk, such as will insure the condemnation of all respectable persons of both sexes. At night the entirs corps will be: required to form two ranks, facing each other, in front of the door in such a position that the ladies will be. compelled to pass between their ranks in leaving the church. The ranks must number about one hundred to render this part of the programme a complete success. The necessary qualifications for membership in the corps ‘areas follows: = Persons of all shapes and sizes, from the tall, graceful dandy, -with his hair parted in the middle and sufficient on his upper lip to stuff a barber’s cushion, down to the little, bow-legged, freckle-faced, carrot-head-ed upstart. Also a limited number of coarse, rough, unsightly, crook-shank--ed, eross-eyed specimens, with peachblossomed proboscis, unshaven face, hair hanging in lat tails?over a black, greasy neck, a shirt that has not been iintrodhced to soap and water for at . least three weeks, tobacco ‘juice run‘ning from each corner of the mouth, and the grin of an overgrown 'haboon on his mean, dirty countenance—these latter are wanted as officers of the corps. ‘ :

The ladies have procured a book in which to register the names of applicants, and, in order to prevent a general rush, give timely notice that no one having ar intellectual capacity above that of & well bred donkey need apply. , . : Arrangements are made by which we will have access to the books of the organization, and will report the number of applicants and the progress they are making as time and circumstances may require. Such an organization has been operating here for some time, bnt without any system or erder, and the object now is to. bring these elements together in such a shape that they may be better controlled. Who will be the first to volunteer? . REBUS.

Political Squabble in Mississippi. [From the Chﬁaya Tribune,) Politics in Mississippi seem to be considerably mixed. The two great - powers of the republican party in that State—Alcorn and Ames—are at loggerheads. The same convention that nominated Ames refused to endorse the Kellogg government in Louisiana. Ames charges Alcorn (1) with trying to get the white element of Mississippi to join the republican party, which would be fatal to Ames and other carpet-baggers, and (2) with going over to the Democracy. Alcorn comes out and accuses Ames of all sorts of bad things, but that which will be most likely to injurehim is the charge that he (Ames) is unfriendly to the negroes. Alcorn says that when Ames was Military Governor of the State, and aJaw unto himself, he might have secured the negroes their civil rights, but that he failed to do s 0; and that it was only after he (Alcorn) had been elected that the negroes could ride on the horse-cars, in first-class coaches, ete, etc. Alcorn charges, moreover, that, if Ames should be elected, there would be a war of races in Mississippi. Mr. Son-in-Law Ames seems to have ag trying a time of it in Mississippi as Mr, Father-in-LLaw Butler has in Massachusetts, Mr. Ames has'‘succeeded, however, in getting his momination, and, if Mr. Butler is equally successful, we may reasonably expect to see both of them elected Governor, and, in_ due’‘course of time, take their seats alongside each other in the United States Senate.. i e L

. ALLEN COUNTY. A Fort Wayne dispatch of the 28th says: “The man Kimmel, who it will be remembered was charged with being one of the ravishers and murderers of Mary Secor, of Mercer county, -0., ldast summer, and who would have been killed by the infuriated citizens at the same time the others were hung, but for the intervention of Mary Secor’s brother, who declared that blood enough had, been spilled to avenge his sister’s terrible fate, attempted a few days ago to commit suiside by hanging. He was discovered hanging to a beam in his barn, and was cut down in time to save his life, which was almost extinet. He is now slowly recovering: Kimmel declares he has no desire to live, his life being burdensome to him, and that he will on the first opportunity repeat his attempt on his life and will be:more successful next time.”

Bad Times for Professional Politicians [From the San Francisco Bulletin (Rep.)) The times are terribly out of joint for the professional politician, be he Republican or Democrat. All over the Union there is a general uprising against those men who, making politics a trade, have fattened and grown rich by corrupt bargains, with railroad corporations and’ other monopolies and special interests. The tide has been rising for a long time, but is getting now with stronger force than ever. Thisis made patent in a variety of ways., Party lines are disregarded by the mass of voters. The people are no longer to be deluded into the support of faithless candidates by the platitudes of well-sounding platforms. This disposition is exhibited in Masgachusetts, Louisiana, Illinois, Minnesota, and other States, as well as in California. .
