HoRsERADISH.—It may not be genj crally known that if leaves or litter be placed on the tops of horseradish crewns, two feet or so thick, the plants grow through them in the course of the summer, producing roots as thick as your little finger. and as tender as spring radishes, and much to be preferred to the tough, stringy stuff usually supplied with our roast beef and other meats. . >
RAWHIDE—~A rawhide halter strap an inch wide, will hold a horse better and last longer than an inch rope. It is stronger than hoop iron and more durable, and can be used to hoop dry casks and boxes, and for hinges. " Try it on a broken thill, or and wood work that has been split. Put on wet and nail fast. Thin skins make the best to use in its natural state. . For other purposes it may be dressed.
lILLING POTATOES.—A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker tried an experiment last season with raising potatoes by hilling and leaving the surface flat. The summer was wet; giving the hilling tlre advantage, if any. The result was about the same quantity for each, but the potatoes from the part not hilled were larger, fewer in number, and finer in quality. He thinks much labor worse than ugeless, is expended in hilling potatoes.
- Soar.—llere is an éxcellent recipe for making genuine erasive soap that will remove grease and stains from clothing: Two pounds of good castile soap; half a pound of carbonaet of potash, dissolved in half'h pint of hot water. -Cut the soap -in thin slices, ‘hoil the soap with the potash until it _ i 3 thick, enough to mold in cakes; also add aleohol, half an ounce; (famphor, half an ounce; hiu'tshom,-. half an ounce; color with half an ounce of pulverized charcoal. /
STOVE Prees.—lt is within the experience of many to find stove pipes that were put away in the-spring, apparently sound, almost eaten up with rust when taken out in the fall for use.. A cheap and efl‘iectuul'- remedy for rust is the application of coal or linseed oil. When the pipe or sheet iron is new, apply coal or linseed oil inside and out. It does not disfigure the iron, and is not apparent after the first day that fire is made. After\\"a‘i'ds, every spying when the stove is taken down, clean the inside of the pipe, and apply coal oil thoroughly to theinside, and the rust will:not disturb the iron.
BLUE GrAss+—A correspondent of the Home Jounnal writes: My way of securing a stand of blue grass is this: The first step is not to impoverish the soil by cropping before resting it in grass. Having prepared the ground for the seed well, early in the tall, sow the blue gmfss and grain at the same time. If the season is dry, .ol the ground after ham'owingg; if the season is wet, or the ground sufliciently smoist, nse a 'buLsh ‘instead of the harrow and roller. ®*Keep stock off the o ground after cutting the grain, and the following. spring the blue grass will + ~show handsomely. - o
. »PRACTICALBUGGESTIONS,—Dyspepsia is quite common among farmers. 2 It cannot be' due to any Tack of exer- “. cise. Itisrather due to too much exercise atthe wrong time. By this we mean that'the farmer, when he comes in after a hard day’s work, with a “strong appetite, eats a very hearty meal, jumps up from the table, and rushes directl}y’ off to his work again, when he should have a rest of half or three-quarters of an hour at least af{ ter such a meal before attempting a.n})b - very active labor. This will, in nine «cases out of ten, we believe, prevent this disease among fthe farmers who are careful to eat only wholesome food, and that which is properly cooked.
A FArMER'S EXPERIENCE—That the success of farming is in experience, That to ask a man’s advice is not stooping, but eftén of much benefit. That to keep a place for everything, and everything in its place, saves many a step, and is pretty sure to lead to good tools, and to keeping them in good order. ; » That kindness to stock is like good shelter, and is a saving of fodder. That to fight weeds is to favor grain, and to do justice to your neighbors. That in making home agreeable, you keep your boys out of the city. : That it is a good thing to keep an eye out on experiments, and not all, both good and bad. ; That it is a good thing to grow into farming—not jump into it.
COPPERAS.--One pound of green copperas, costing seven cents, dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down a water-closet, will effectually concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. On board ships and steamboats, about hotels and other public places, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green copperas, dissolved’ in anything under the bed, will render any hospital or other places for the sick free from unpleasant smells. In fish markets, slaughter houses, sinks and wherever there are offensive gases, dissolve coppers and sprinkle it about, and ih a few days the smell will passaway. Ifa cat, rat or mouse dies about the house and sends forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved copperas in an open vessel near the place where thp nuisance is and it will purify the atmosphere. BRAN FOR HORSES.—A correspondent of the Jowrnal of the Farm writes : ran when fed to animals is laxative, and on this account should not be fed to horses in any quantity when hard work is’at all required of them, because weakness is caused by this relaxation of the bowels,and great injury inflicted. The theory that intro«.uces bran into the horse stable is as pernicious in its effects as the indiscriminate use of' bran itself, as the whim of the stable man, and the theory is, that horses, sick or well, should be fed on bran-mashes. A little bran with other and more substantial articles of food may, however, be occasionally given with advantage, but always taking care not to feed it in quantities to give rise to loosness of the bowels, nor be counted to the poor horse as so much other solid food, for in doing so, you not only deceive yourself, but cheat your horse, - :
HEAVES IN Horses.—The American Agriculturist says that the cause of licaves or broken wind is not satisfactorily .accounted for. It is said by | some veterinarians to be incurable; " »till we never found a case in our experience that was not either greatly . relieved or entirely cured by simple treatment. This was as follows: To #id the digestive power by simple tonics, and to feed the most nutritious and least stimulating food in small bulk, avoiding all dry, dusty food.— For ingtance, a horse purchased by the
writer for’ a very small sum, as being incurably diseased with the heaves, was fed three times a day with a pailful of cut timothy hay and oats in the sheaf, soaked in hot water and fed when cold, mixed with three quarts of oats, corn, and rye bran, ground together. A handful of salt was given in each feed, and occasionally a few raw potatoes or carrots cut up-and sprinkled with bran were given in addition. Nothing else was done, no medicine was given, no long hay was fed, and all dust in the feed was carefully guarded against. The result was an ‘immediate change for the better, and no trouble from the disorder at ‘all after a few weeks. The horse was then able to drive rapidly, and might ‘be considered cured.; On the other hand, horses have been known to become diseased immediately after feeding upon dusty clpver hay, the inhalation of the dry seed, chaff or other dust doubtlessly causing the trouble. -
; . Flowers for the Sick. - In an upper room in a poor tenement, house lay a sick child, wasted with fever and the prostration which followed. It had seemed impossible: to rouse him, or excite the slightest interest in anything. Theyoung lady who had carried the flower-basket to the room selected a bunch of shining golden buttercups, and held them up before the child.. The dull languid eye brightened, the tiny emaciated hand opened to receive them; too feeble for a spoken word, the smile that flitted across the wee white face was eloquencel/enough. The fingers closed tightly over the simple flowers that were like yellow. sunshine to the little sufferer. - When a second visit, with fresh flowers, was made on Thursday, the boy’s mother said, “Jimmy would not lhy the flowers out of his* hand while he was awake’; only when he slept could I put them in water to freshen a bit, for he must have them in his hand again as soon as he waked.” Sutre enough, the little fellow still held his withered treasures, which had been moré to him than doctors’ visits or prescriptions. Fresh flowers from the basket brought a smile and look of grateful recognition to his face; the long, weary hours of convalescence were lightened and brightened for one little sufferer by the Flower Mission. : .
How to Build a Milk-House. In reply to a request from some dai-ry-men to give plans for building a good dairy-house, a- correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says: (oolness is the main thing desired, I built what we called a fruit house several years ago, which we also used for a milk-house winter and summer. Inside of this, twenty inches from the outside, I built another frame, which was ceiled with -wide boards:. Between the weather-boarding and ceil~ ing sawdust was filled in. Twenty inches fromr the top of the outside frame (the inside frame shouldibe that much the lowest) I laid wide® planks and covered the joints with narrow boards, and filled that space too with saw-dust. My sills were under the ground and filled between with small rock and lime. On the ingide I filled some three inches with thin stone, then took a sledge hammer and beat them up finely; and leveled off. When this was done I took thin mortar and poured over the top and leveled with a plasterer’s trowel, making the whole ratproof. There dhould De two door shutters, one to each frame, for winter. Another correspondent of the same journal gives theliollowing: Lay up a foundation with good, hard-burnt brieks, or with stones, a thirteen-inch wall. On this set a frame, say of five inch studding. After siding up, ceil on the inside and fill in with charceal. Overhead have a flooring and ceiling beneath the joists, putting charcoal between. This is a non-conductor of heat, and also a good absorbent of foul air. - Have doors on one end and on each side; at least two-thirds the distance back from the door put windows with sash hung at the top, to be hooked up to the ceiling. Get wire guaze, paint it, and tack over each window to exclude all vermin, “from a cat to a gnat.” Now put from four to six inches of good gravel on the floor and pound it till it is solid ; then cement this as you would a cistern, also theside walls. As your frame will not extend in as your wall, you can put a shelf on it, say nine inches wide, which will be handy to use for various purposes. Lastly, put a six-inch tube of galvanized iron at the rear end, running from within a foot of the ground to two feet above the roof, with a cap on top and opening on each side equal to the diameter of the tube. Then with good, sweet pans you will have milk and butter that will do to set before a queen.— Scrupulous cleanliness is very important; without this, no milk-house will make good butter. L
- Imnsanity Among Ants. Ants can be made crazy by small doses of corrosive sublimate. A little of it sprinkled across their paths in dry weather has a most surprising effect. Assoon asone of the ants touches the white powder it commences to run about wildly, and across. In a couple of hours round balls of ants will be found biting each other, and numerous individuals will be seen bitten completely in two, while others have lost some of the legs or antennee. News of the commotion is carried to the formicarium, and huge fell?w measuring three guarters of an inc,?l in length, that only come out of the nest during migration or an attack on the nest of one of the working columns, are seen sailing down with a determined air, as if they would soon right matters. As soon, however, as they have touched the sublimate, all their stateliness leaves them; they rush about; their legs are seized hold of by some of the smaller ants already affected by the poison, and they themselves commence to bite, and in a short time become the cenffir of fresh balls of rabid ants. The spblimate can only be used effectively inrdry wieather.
A coNcEssiON to the demands of the farmers has been made by the House of Representafives in voting to pass agricultural reports through the mails free. The farmers are represented as having been clamorous for these bulky volumes, and every man of literary cravings who has been forced to rely for a time upon the limited resources of a country farm-house will credit the assertion. No well-regulat-ed household in the rural districts attempts to do without a solemn row of public documents; and the farmers, if anybody, are entitled to private libraries at the general expense. Before accepting this gratuity, however, they should reflect whether it is not designed to seal their mouths, and secure, a tacit acquiescence in the restoration of the franking abuse. Wise men should most fear the enemy when they come with gifts in their hands.
SIN is often the result of physical ill-health and feeble stomachs. During one-third of our life the process of digestion continues. To be dyspeptic is to be miserable; dyspepsia is the foundation of fevers and all the diseases of the blood, liver, skin and kidneys. Dyspepsia yields to the virtues of the vegetable ingredients in that great purifyer of the blood and restorer of health, Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters. L [4-4w
“Give’em h—ll, damn ’em.” | ' [From the Logansport Pharos.] - @ne of the supposed duties of an editor of a local paper is to fight the battles of his political friends, to take the quarrels off their hands and make them his own; to take the hard blows and give them. And if he fails to do this, or shows signs of nawusea or disgust, he is twitted with cowardice or his paper is denounced for its shilly shallowness and its lack of vim. Several years ago it was the lot of the editor of this paper to be emplb‘fved inthe capacity of one of the editors of a daily paper at the capital, the proprietor of which was an individual of original ideas in the newspaper business. He imagined that a newspaper was a vehicle for personal abuse of his op,ponents,and the way to make a“smart” paper ‘as he called it, was: each morning to give every fellow the devil that had any prominence in the opposition party, His advice to his editorial corps was terse and suggestive. It was to “give ’em hell, damn em,” and upon this theory his paper was run, until it run into bankruptey. And then there was an end of it, and an end of the pompous and ignorant man who had mistaken his calling of a gambler for that of a newspaper proprietor.-— And this same mistake is often illustrated in the profession. The'persons who think they know how to conduct
a newspaper and those who really do know the art, are as one to & thousand, Hence the failures that everywhere strew the path of the profession, and hence, likewise, the stove-polishers, the “broken-down preachers, the played out politicians that foist themselves into the editorial chair and for the time cut such fantastic tricks upon the tripod, as to merit the pity, as well as the contempt, of the man whose whole life has been passed in trying to learn his duties and fit himself for his chosen | work. Charles Lamb described the seedy wretches who hung about :the lower courts, and by the most disreputable arts, secured small fees from the vilest class of eriminals, as the “vermin of the law,” and somight aptly be “described the crawling and slimy mob of unorganized ignorance that through some acecident suddenly finds itself in control of ajprinting press and types. Then eommences the work of defamation, in a feeble way of course, but still defamation, and, like a maggot in a carcass, the unfledged editor revels and riots in his own filthiness. To the honor of the profession, be it said, that this class of prétended journalists is disappearing, and that a more manly} a more independent and a more elevated tone is supplanting the slashing and irresponsible brawles we have above described.
What the Tenth of June Cohvention Will Do. , (From the Indianapolis Sentingl.] It is a voice of inquiry and it comes from the Hvening News: ; “We should like:to know what the convention intends to do.. Does it inténd to present any definite principles for -‘action, or will it content itself with high sounding words which cover dreary platitudes? ' Can the Sentinel give the desired information? Or, to avoidiits possible excuse that it is not. gifted with prescience, we will ask if the convention has a well defined aim, or is it lilel'elf’ a meeting of the discontented to unload their bile £”
Without the gift of “divination,” or the power of prescience, or any of the wisdomr of the sages or the oracles of the organs, the Sentinel is able to answer: The convention of the 10th of June will present a clean and explicit platform of prineiples, brief and pointed; it will fix the purposes of its movers absolutely and unequivocally. It will deal in no political platitudes and leave no loop-hole for double dealing. It will have -to do only with genuine reform—no sham. It will scrutinize very rigidly every name presented for the suffrages of the people. A full ticket will be selected and put into the field; and honest men invited to support the men because they are worthy of support and because they are indefeasably pledged to carry outa real reform. Steps have been taken already to prevent any of. the disreputable tricks incident to party conventions, and the News may rest satisfied that there will be neither platitude in the platform, nor pretense in the personages selected by the convention for the suffrages of the fellow-citizens. Is this plain enough?
Moses, the Bankrupt Goirm;nor. : The State of South Carolina being virtually bankrupt, there is no good reason why the Governor of a bankrupt State should not be a bankrupt also. 1t is not surprising, therefore, that a petition has 'been filed in the United States Distriet Court at Charleston for the involuntary bankruptey of Franklin J. Moses, Governor, ete.— The schedule of his liabilities is rather unique. He owes Gen. Preston, for his house, $20,000 ; Handy Solomon, for borrowed money, $30,000; and Gens. Dennis and Gurney, $70,000. Being Governor, he ran up a bill of $2,000 at his butcher’s; $l,OOO at the Indian Girl cigar store; and $1,500 at his tailor’s. Thereis also due certain fur-niture-dealers, restaurant-keepers, shysters, and shoemakers, $33,000; a hotel bill of $500; and $60,000 borrowed from County Treasurers. Histotal liabilities are $217,150, which also includes considerable money borrowed from his predecessor, Gov. Scott. His assets are about $67,000. It thus appears that the Governor, like the State which he governs, has a magnificent stock of debts. The character of the items in his catalogue of liabilities, shows that he has been enjoying himself, notwithstanding his present distressed financial condition. The remark hardly holds true of the State, however.
Acquittal of Swing. CHICAGO, May 20.—A vote was reached to-day in the presbytery, engaged in tlie Swing heresy trial, and resulted in a triumphant vindication of the accused. The vote stood fifteen for, to forty-five against convietion.— The friends of Professor Swing are jubilant. : After the announcement of the vote acquittilvt)g Professor Swing the Rav. Mr. Trowbridge gave notice that after the formal reporting of the finding was made he would offer a resolution censuring the prosecutor in the case,as was provided for in the rules. Subsequently he withdrew the notice. Professor Patton then gave notice that he would appeal the case to the synod of Northern Tlllinois, and would file his reasop therefor within ten days.

TrY IT.—A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives the following advice to parents, respecting the management of a boy: “Give a boy a home where he is as free as air, where he can bring his companions and they find a welcome where they can talk and dispute, and express opinions, and is not afraid to say where he has been, and what he has done—a home where he feels he is trusted and loved, and where he trusts and loves, and where he knows the restraints are good—and you weave about him a web which will ward off from him many a fierce temptation, and- should he ever come to evil,that home will be an' accusing angel through all his downward course,” -

, Liver and Blood Diseases. , - BY R. V. PIERCE, M. D, i A healthy liver secretés each day i about two and a half pounds of bile, | which contains a great amount of ! waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con- ‘ gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of ‘noxious substance, which,, therefore, remains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every part of the systeml. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels. and organs —the Kkidneys, skin, ete, but these organs become over-taxed in performing this labor in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand the pressure, but become variously diseased. - The brain, which is the great electrical center of .all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy Dblood, | which passes to it from the heart and it fails to perform its office healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisroning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and Trrtability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the sux(‘.face of the skin, it is so irritating/and!poisonous that it produces discolored brown
spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and serofulous tumors. Thestomach,bowels and other organs cannot escape be‘coming affected, sooner or later, and we have :as, the lesult, costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea.— Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad taste in the mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensation in throat, bloating of stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or back, coldness of extremities, ete., etc. Omly a few of the above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. The liver being the great depurating or blood cleansing organ of the system —set this great “housekeeper of our health’ at work, and’ the foul corruptions, which gender in the blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life, are gradually expelled from the system. For this purpose my Golden Medical Discovery with very small doses daily of my Pleasant Purgative Pellets are pre-eminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or eruption.— Great eating' ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by their preserving and somewhat protracted use the most tainted systems may be completely renovated and built up anew. - Enlarged glands, tumors and swellings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of these resolvents. ‘

Tre work originally published under the title} of Tue NEw AMERIOAN (CYOLOPADIA Was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circnlation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, literature, and art. have induced the editors and publishers to submit 1t to an exact and thorough revigsion, -and to issuz a new c¢dition entitled THE AMERICAN CYOLOPEDIA. i ) Within the last ten years the pro%reee of discovery in every department of knowledge "has made a new work of reference an imperp.aive want, ‘The movement of political affyirs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, dnd their fruitful application to the industrial and unseful arts and the convenience and refinement of social life. Great ‘wars and consequent revolutions have occarred, involvi n‘g national changes of peculiar moment .— The civil war of our own ‘country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a necsv course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. . : The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitnde of new men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curions to know the particulare. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic history. v In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish-an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well 4s to give a suceinct and original record of the progress.of political and historical events. The work has been begun after long and care< ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. i Y None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopzdia with the 'same plan and compass a 8 ils predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. ; I The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of tpu:torilnl -effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text. They embrace all,brancixes of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various processes of mechanics and manufactures. Although ‘intended for instruction rather than embellis%lment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a wel‘come/ reception as an admirable. feature of the Cyclop®dia, and worthy of its high character. This work is 80ld to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages. fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps. '
