While"most Other: \p{xrs’itrits push up the prices of their commodi_ties,. if . need |be . by shortening their _hours of labor, and. sometimes by wholly stopping the wheels, we have inet this by more desperate struggles to multiply our produdtions. and to. ‘hurry them upon the market.” While the oil men of Pennsylvania are seeking.ta plug.up.the holes, so as to stop the flow of oil, and thereby send up the ‘pricés, the corn-raiser struggles to broaden his fields and deepen his furrows, until he overflows the land with it althlianict. s A% M CixT ) L wE Farmers’ associations are intended for mutual improvement in our ealling,—to call forth nmlxgms, and ~ diffuse useful in 'rmmamm}g ourselves, 5o as to ’%du "eßetter results, with less labor—for social enjoyment mﬂﬂor£MellMuai and " moral imﬁnx?ﬂ Such asociations will \e opportanity for neighborhood ' co-operation in ’ru"ral improvement, stock-breeding, dairying, farmers’ insurance.—perhaps in buying and selling to some extent, and so generally to effect for our class what organization has done for others. *: * - Mr. Porterfield said his organization is tweg years old. Vol %o After talking about raising crops, they came to- talk ofselling them.— They found the whole number of hogs they had; sent a committee to a packer and received more than if they had been sold to a dealer in town. Then they looked at farmi implements, which they had been paying dearly for to I,h(;')‘me dealers. -They appointed

a committee to correspond with the manufacturers, and after a time Ithey bought all.the implements at thirty: days’ time, gétting cvﬁumﬂar, 820 ‘which cost $35. The purchase was a. success. Then they made arrangements to sell their grain. When they went to the railroads as an association ~of one hundred farmers, having one hundred thogsgn%r‘pushel_s to. send, thdy*got the rates! wanted, If they. were” ized everywhere, the rail- € e “were'in earnest. “Mr. Gorham, of Fulton, gave the statement of his experience with the Farmers’ Club, which had saved the ! members over $2,000 by buying directly from the manuﬁmtu_rers. They saved about $lO on ploughs, $3O on reapers, $l3 on corn-planters, $2O on sewing machines. Wheat they sold directly to the miller. Tastseason they got several cents more a hundred for pork than if they had no organization. They met regularly once a month.— The cost of operating was merely a ‘simple initiation fee. *: * * In urging this organization. of, farmers, we distinctly disclaim any purpose of hostility or antagonism to | other ugeful interests. * We-are members of the same body and there must - be no;war between us. ©~ But because ' our‘cbndition has put us -behind in some import)fmt respects, we now propose to use some of the agencies em- - ployed by others for self-defense, and our own improvement. In the general improvemernt and prosperity. of the rural classes, all others will share | .'in the bepefit. . <. i This ‘organization completed can control or crush out all opposing - interests. But it should and -must be used si_mp}‘yv to maintain, perpetuate and defend the rights of the people . against corrupt and selfish monopo-‘ lies, ‘ | | o

‘Our only hope of salvation from the evils of which they complain, lies in limion. and a ecordial and harmonious dworking together for the good of our common cause. Let us fight combibition with combination. "Lt every one do all hecan to assist in‘eompleting and’ peffecting our organization by nsing his influence in the formation of farmers’ clubs in his neighborhood and township, The ret’ormﬁ we seek will not come in a day, but the time for their accomplishment depends very much upon the energy and determination with which each one takes'hold of this great work of organizatioh. - All of which is respectfully submitted. . - D.

. f The Baby, - [From the New York Ledger.l o " "When a baby comes into the household, it is only a little, shapeless, redfaced thing, with tiny doubled fists that move themselves about at nothing, and an .appetite disproportionately large in comparison . with its other qualities. : g

Yes,db comes ag a sort of a monarch —that helpléss little handful, and it begings4o reign forthwith. : 18" voice-=not exactly the voice of m turtle, either—beitg heard in the d, all 6ther sounds are forgotten. 1t matters not who has no dinner, so that he has his, nor whais tired so that he enjé)ys himself. Ordinary oc-cupations-cease, and a group gathers about the cradle to see him put his fist in his mouth. A small fringe of hair on the back of his head is more beautiful in the eyes of the household than the floating locks of any golden blonde on earth; and while same adult is quietly advised to have his aching wisdom-tooth pulled out, and not bother any more about it, the family rush pell-mell to the cradlé side, to see that wonderful thing—baby's first tooth, peeping through its gums. King Baby, do you know anything about, all this? If you did you might look forward very sadly. In after life there will be no such adoration for you, ~Words of wisdom 'will fall unnotfced from your lips then, though when you have learned to say “bla! bla!” the household goes into ecstacies. . _Your little natural kicks and wriggles, that are so charming, are nothing to the hard work that you will do without a “thank you” from anyone.-— “Your sleeping, eating, and smi}ing will interest no one but irounself‘w}hen‘ ok L I eok 200 do not K o X Yoware aking, and, hr?tr;ug h;gmon%me happy by suels a littie~mon 7" Reign on.

The Farm and Household. ey Ir the crust to bread is wished tender, as soon as the loaves are taken out. of the oven, wrap them in a wet cloth . wrung from cold water, and then lay over it a dry towel. PRESERVING STUKFED ANIMALS,— Rub the flesh side of the skin with a composition of one pound of tobacco ashes, one-half pound of alum, two pounds of dry slaked lime. < "ROAST DUCK.—Stuff the duck with bread crumbs like a turkey, or with onions and sage; pepper, salt and butter.: "Baste frequently while cooking, and do not cook it'too much. =

HoxgY SoAr.—Dissolve two pounds of yellow soap in a dish suspended in a kettle of boiling water. Add a quarter of a pound each of strained honey and palm oil, and three cents worth of oil of cinnamon. When cold itis ready. for use.\s " b o oa 8 FRrRESH OYSTERs—Make. & ba(ﬁg, like muffing, only hardly so thick, and stir the oysters in it, and fry asiusual. For a small family one egg suflices with the milk and tlour; add salt and pepper of course, and some also add' a little soda. This iseheap and good, and will not destroy the stomach with its fiehness. = . o

RoasT Goose.—Rub*the inside of the goose with chopped sage and onions; stuff it with bread erumb stufting and onions boiled and chopped up, and season it with butter and fard‘im'd salt. Roast slow and a long time, to draw all the oil out ,the;_{owl. ‘Apple sauce, made of ripe apples, should always be ready to eat w& th the godse.

.- Wuat OiL To Buy.—Do not buy dark or very white kerosene—the light yellow 'is ‘safest. Lamps with “sun-burners” economize the light most. There is a patent hanging lamp fastened to the ceiling by a stsong coiled brass string, which ean be pushed up or pulled down to any height at pleasure. The apparatus is durable. Such 2 lamp is nearly as convenient as gas, and is cheerful over the tea-table or work-table.” * ° s

It is better to yield a little than to quarrel a great deal. The habit of standing up, as people call it, for their rights is one of the most disagreeable and undignified in_the world. Life is’ too short for the perpetdal bickering: whieh attends sueh a disposition, anduniless a very momentuous affair indeed, where other people’s claims and interests are involved, it is a question if it is not wiser, happier and more prudent to yield somewhat of our precious rights than to squabble to maintain them. True wisdom is first, pure, then peaceable and gentle-— EBaxchange. -

CORN AND HOGS. ‘ From carefully conducted experiments by different persons, it has been ascertained that one bushe] of corn will make a little over 1014 pounds of pork, gross. Taking this result as a basis, the following deductions are made, which all our farmers would do well to lay by for a convenient reference: ‘When corn sells f0r.12%5 cents per ‘bushel, pork costs 17% cents per pound. ~ When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound. When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork costs 3 cents per pound. ‘When corn costs 33°cents per bushel, pork’ costs 4 cents per pound. When corn costs 50 cents per bushel, pork costs 5 cents per pound. | ' The following statements show what the farmer realizes on his corn, when sold in the shape of pork: When pork sells for 3 cents per pound it brings 25 cents per bushel in corn. ; When pork sells for four cents per pound it brings 32 cents per bushel in corn. When pork sells for five cents per pound it brings 45 cents per bushel in corn. -

. PENS FOR PIGS. e Farmers in a great majority of cases, have.-less pride in what they do for swine than any other labor upon the premises. First class barns for horses and cattle, convenient sheds, ete., for sheep are numerous, but it is something of a rarity to see a nice, airy and really eonvenient pig sty. The reason of this is doubtless attributable-to the generally conceived idea that the hog is a filthy animal, and not fit to occupy a decent place; but the faet is, swine are made filthier than it is their nature to be by being confined in unwholesome and unecleaned pens. A pen can be easily constructed- so that the floors of different departments may be kept dry and wholesome. The floor should be tight, on a little decline, and Kkept littered with absorhents. In the construction of pens there is a general fault in the way of having them too low between joints, most of them being not over five feet, when there should be no less than sevyen, so that a man can stand erect in them. * We have'seenrmany expensive pens having this fault and the swine therein absolutely neglected on account of the back aching ’We\'l'k of cleaning the differént sections of the pen out.

Every sty should have a good yard at one side, so that the swine may get at the earth, but they shotild not be allowed to run therein at will, nor should the cleanings of the pen'be thrown into the yard to be mixed with the soil by the ;tramping and rooting of the hogs, for it is one of the most valuable manures that can be produced upon astock farm. ~ ; . The farmer who makes most money ‘ from pork raising,is the man who not only is careful in the selection of breeds, but particularly careful to have good commodious pens and gives the swine all the attention' required t¢ make them grow and lay on thé fat ‘rapidly. When we see fattening hogs in rail pens with the earth for g floor and.the sky for a roof, ouir opinion is L at once formed as to the chances of that farmer to prosper, and they are decidedly unfavorable.—Ohio Farmer. Common Sense in Illinois. i The Farmers’ Association of Greene county, Illinois, has adopted a Platform and Constitution characterized by good sense and business sagacity. They evidently do not think if all the ‘world were dead they could de a big: business keeping tavern. Two articles of their Platform read thus: - We will ‘encourage all kinds of manufacturing in our midst, believing that in so doing we bring a market to us and save the cost of transportation to both producer and consumer. _ Our chief object throughout shall ba: to benefit ourselvés and not to ’injiﬁ‘ ‘any- railread or other eorporati any class of tradesmen, only ceasing to deal with such a 8 receive our money without giving a fair return for it.: Fhe second article ‘of the Constitution reads: fy The object shall be the promotibn of the moral, intellectual, social, and pecuniary welfare of the farmers of Greene county, and any topic of general interest may be discussed at its meetings, but the association shall not -use its influence in favor of any politieal party or individual, or'¢onspire to: injure any home trader or dealer, but to encourage manufaetories and inters nal improvements, and by active and ‘cordial 'cgopetati‘oﬁ “withlike organizations, to carry to a successful issue the ‘objects of the State Asdociation.

Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg-* etable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found: on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted . therefrom without the use of Alé¢ohol. ‘The question is almost daily asked, . ““What isthe cause of the unpar- . alleled success of VINEGAR/ BirTERS ?? Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving ;irinciple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorater of the system. " Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compeunded possessing the remarkable qualities of VINEGAR BrrrErs in healing the sick of - every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation. of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Biligus Diseases , I : .+ The pro%erties of DR. WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS are Aperient,Dia;Qore,tic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, *Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim VINEGAR BITTERS the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. ' . No Person can take these Bitteys according to directions, and re‘main long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral . poison or other means, and vital organs :vvgsted beyond repair. - ST Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great _rivers throughout the United States, - especially those of the Mississippi, - Ohio, Missouri, Illincis, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado; Brazos,” Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, | Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the. S.tgnmer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual ‘heat.and dryness, are invariably ac=--companiéd by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In-their treatment, a purgative, exerting a ~-powerful influence upon these: various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no eathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BiTTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark-colared viscid matter with which ‘the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy fune- ; tions of the digestive organs. P Fortify the body against diseéase by purifying all its fluids with ~VINEGAR BirTERs. No epidemic can take held of a system thus fore-armed. - Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, _Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste .in_the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart,” Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful: symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its . merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affeetions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, -Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional, Diseases, WALKER'S VINEGARBITTERS have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. . - For Inflammatory and Chrenic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit.tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases - of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, ‘these Bitters have no e‘(’;ual. Such Dis- . eases are caused by Vitiated Blood. . ~“Mechanical Diseases.—Persons “engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and ‘Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysir of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS-OCCaSionaUy. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, SPots, Pimples, Pustiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ringworms, Scald-head, Sere Liyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations .of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of “whatever name or nature, are literallydug up and carried out of the system in a “short time by the use of these Bitters. - Pin, Tape, and other Worms, Jurking in the System of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and re‘moved. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like,tl_xese Bitters. %‘or Female Co_ml{lamts, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of ‘womanhood, orthe turn of life, these Ton~ ic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible: Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting . through the skin in Pimples, Eru£§lona or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse ‘it when it is foul; iour feelings will tell " you when. Keep t eblood.Yure, and the zealth of the system will follow. . - . " Re He McDONALD & CO., Druggists & Gen.
