1 r The Farm and Household. ‘A Family Dairy. e In a general way, farmers have.a general idea about the average consumption of food by their animals.— But it is a knowledge more of the eye than of the sense. A man throws a bunch of stocks to his cow, or a forkful of hay to his horse, as a matter of daily Dsbit, without realizing quantity, cost, value or effects. There is no’ ‘calling on earth where there is so much generalization, and so little exactness, as among the farming class. The agricultural press, clubs, societies; and especially the dairy associations, are gradually working a change, and many are mending their ways. There is nothing like “pegging away” in all matters of reform. The following figures which are the exact result of the careful personal work of the master and mistress, may prove useful, especially to beginners who, not being “set in their ways,” will go and do likewise. The main thing in all matters of detail, is to do exactly whatis to be done. , i Our choice cow referred to in Country Gentleman, vol. 38, page 821, is the basis of these figures., The drying up process of this cow began September 1, 1873, at which time she was producing by estimate, from five to six pounds of butter per week. On the 22d of October following, she dropped a fine c. ¢, being dry and not milked at all from September 10th-—six weeks. This is the average proper time of being dry, in the experience of this fruitful little dairy of cows, seven of which are the daughters of “our choice”—two being twins, now five years old. The calf was taken away at once, and fed all the milk of the dam up to October 51st, and .subsequently raised on a skimmed milk and corn meal gruel; "doing finely. It will bring $25 to-day, anywhere: about the neighborhood where the cow is known. From the first of November up to the first of February, this cow produced every week of seven days, from three churnings, thirteen pounds four ounces of butter. Weigliing the milk butter product once a week, for twelve consecutive weeks, proved that 14 Ibs. 4 ozs. of milk produced a pound of butter; “gilt edged” (no coloring) and as golden and solid as the very finest June; under the following conditions and feeding: The animal occupied a box stall, 10 by 12 feet, strap and chain ; pure water which never froze was in reach at will; was curried and carded every morning, and once a 4 month was sponged off with warm water and soap, and rubbed dry; was carefully and regularly milked and fed twice a day, at a given hour, a bunch of good sowed cornstalks as a noon feed; was never exposed to storms, but had exercise at will under a shed in falling weather. Somuch for the conditions. The mess consisted of 20 pounds of early cut clover hay, chopped up and wet with hot water, to which was added four | -quarts of corn meal, mixed with eight quarts of coarse bran, a pinch of line salt, and an even half bushel of cut Belgian carrots. This “mess,” thoroughly mixed after evening feeding, covered over away from frost, after standing all night again well mixed in the morning, was fed in two equal parts, at a regular hour morning and evening.

For this butter, in one pound pack- 1 ages, together with the product of one of this cow’s daughters, getting the same treatment, except being stalled instead of boxed, and- producing ten pounds of butter per week, the mistress got -from a swell Buffalo party 75 cents per pound at her dairy door, under a yearly contract for the entire product, at 50 cents from May to November, and 75 cents from November to May, cash down every week.— Young farmer and young mistress, “00 thou and do likewise!” The writer's theory is, “that every domestic animal should .be made productive to its utmost capacity,” and the foregoing 1s how he dpes it. Now as to what it costs him: Twenty-eight weeks’ pasture and green fodder, at $1 per week, $2B; meal and bran, equivalent to 25 bushels of corn, at 70 cents, $17,60; hay and stalks, equivalent to two tons of hay, at $l7 per ton, $34; roots, equivalent to 90 bushels, at 30 cents, $27: sum total, $106,50. Cash receipts for the three months—November, December and January—sl3o.s7 (for 174 pounds of butter at 75 cents per pound.) The calf and the manure pay for the labor. This cow was dropped in June, 1861 is twelve years old past, and as a mem- * ber of the family is valued at $100,000! The principles taught are—l. A superior animal. 2. Regular and unremitting care. 3. Thorough protection, ample food and high feeding. At the end of the year it will be seen by actual test what will be the product. One result will be the practical knowledge to be utilized by the owner and his sons, who are very sensible, “stay-at-home, work and don’t leave the farm, boys.” e -

This cow was bedded on a flooring of dry muck, one foot deep, made to practically prove a theory of this writer. The solid droppings, together with such of the muck as became saturated with the liquid, was daily wheeled under a shed and piled.: Itis; astounding to see the growth of a dung ‘ heap from only one animal, under this treatment, as compared with the usual | practice of open yards, &c.—at least four to one. Try it, “and then you will know how it is yourself.” The owner, one of the most modest, hardsensed, exact, practical of men, admits the muck bedding theory to be a prac'tical, adaptable and econoemical fact in utilizing the raw material to the greatest profit in all ways. Concerning the sowed cornstalks, referred to as_part of the feeding of that cow, I will .say that after six years’censecutive.growing of this fodder crop, I esteem it of so much value that I would not cease to cultivate it. So I'keep a field of almost 16 acres in ‘almost a “truck patch” culture, under -a rotation of roots, clover and sowed corn. . The latter is drilled in three feet apart in rows, so asto average about 12 to 15 stools to the foot in the row; kept as -clean as a garden bed; thoroughly cultivated; is cut, cured and housed when about five to six feet : hfirgh, or when in full silk, and turns off four or five tons to the acre of a . very suporior quality of provinder. As a change in feeding young stalk, sheep and horses, it is very desirable; in fact, quite equal to hay, and alternating the two makes both better food. I steeped some of it in hot water, and it produced a sweet pleasant flavored syrup; the calves, breeding ews and colts eat it greedily. Itis peculiarily suitable as a dry feed for ewes heavy in lamb. The general effect seems to be excellent, and the writer attributes the good health of his calves and colts, and his great success with lambs for the June mafiketfitoshis “sowed corn fodder;” while that cow goes in for her daily lunch, sandwiched between meals, with as much gusto as some other of “our folks” go in for their lIIVOOI} sandwiches wWyomtngi County,

Best Position for Sleep. E.D. Babbitt, M. D., in his new book, the “Health Guide,” thus ‘gives his views on the best position for the body during hours of sleep: : Baron Reichenbach, by a large‘ number of experiments with sensitive and feeble persons, found that they would

be thrown into a very uncomfortable or spasmodic condition when they lay with their heads to the south, and still worse when their heads were to the west; but that when he turned them with their heads to the north and their feet to the south, they were quiet and comfortable. This harmonizes with the idea of a magnetic earth current going from the north to the south, or at least in the direction of ‘the needle, thus throwing the warm principle toward the feet when the head points northward, while the dis+ tress occasioned by lying with the head to thé west may be accounted for on the supposition of an electric current moving from west to east; at right angles with the magnetic current, thus throwing thé cool element to the feet, just where it should not be. This last direction must be particularly injurious to delicate ladjes, in whom the electrical element already predominates too much, especially at the extremities; and these were the class of persons with whom leichenbach experimented. - . . I would recommend the north-east as a still better direction for the head than the north, as it throws both the cool current toward the head.and the warm current toward the feet. The observation of these rules would prevent a vast amount of headache, neuralgia and distress of the brain and nervous system generally. I lay down these rules, not as a mere theory, but a fact established by my own experience as well as that of others, and it is high time our physicians begin to look into these important health laws, which, if habitually violated, will imperceptibly undermine many a delicate constitution. f

' The Farmers All Right. L ol (From the Indianapolis Sentinel. "In spite of all that is claimed about the hardships of the farmers, every indication at this time shows that, as a class, they are financially in a very easy way. One of the best proofs in point is the sudden check in the receipts of wheat under the effect of declining prices. If there were anything like distress for money among the farmers, they could not hold back their grain as they are doing by common consent. For everything, except wheat, they have been getting excellent prices. . Corn, hogs, good cattle, hay, fruit, all bring the cash on deliyery, and a fair amount of it. In this State, bankers say that during the harvest when it is eustomary to loan largely to farmers to go through with the expense of harvest, the calls have been unusgually light. Farmers had the money and borrowed but little.— As a rule, they are not in debt; for the past twelve months, and even longer, there has been a general retrenchment in purchases, credit has been avoided by both seller and buyer. If the facts were fully known, it would probably be found that a great deal of the missing curieney is hoarded by a class of people who are the first to look out for themselves in dubious times. It is those who depend on trade, manufactures and building who suffer now. The farmers are feeling safe, but \keeping very still about it. g

A Remarkable Old Lady. Mrs. Matilda Ann Conklin, of the ITawpateh, writes us a little sketch of the history of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Todd, a remarkable old lady of eightyone years, who keeps house, does her own work and is as sprightly as most girls of twenty. To this she appends the account of a wedding party in honor of .the thirtieth ahniversary of her own marriage, together with a brief family sketch. The following are the facts, as related by Murs. C.: Mother is eighty-one years old and the mother of twelve children, eight boys and four girls, eleven of whom have grown up to be men and women. She has now fifty-one grand-children. Seventeen of these have grown up and are married. There are thirty-two great grand-children., She is now raising a grand-child, five years old, which she took when its mother died and left it, then an infant. = She is a real smart old lady; lives in a house by herself, does her own cooking and housework, and can walk off as smart as a girl of twenty years. She has her second eye-sight iand is blessed ~with her right mind. Having been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for almost fifty years, she has taught “her children to do right, to keep the Sabbath day, use no profane language. “Live right, and do right,” was the prayer of the aged parent. : While visiting Mother, not long ago, I took a walk with my brother-in-law over the farm, and when we returned. Mother had got dinner ready herself, and it was a splendid dinner. * * It is always a pleasure to me to be with Mother. Now I will tell the readers of the BANNER that we celebrated our thirtieth wedding day on the 29th day of August. There were twenty persons took dinner with us, among them were the same old man who married us thirty years ago—’'Squire Prentiss,— my old mother, my oldest brother but one, and my youngest brother, and my youngest sister of twelveé, who is now thirty-six years old. We had a tip top time, only we did not feel as young as we did thirty years ago. : Things have taken a change since then. We are now the parents of three children, but had the misfortune to lose one of them. Our elder son was drowned in the Elkhart river at Ligonier twelve years ago last 4th of July. But we are blessed with two yet. Our only daughter is married, and our youngest, a son, is at home with us. He is eighteen years old. We enjoy the presence of our children and think it a great l?lessing to be in their company. Weall live on one farm as a happy family. , _ My good old mother made me a present of a nice dress' on my birth-day and I hardly know how to appreciate it highly enough, for it is the first ‘present I have had to amount to a dollar since I am a married woman. I shall keep it as long as I live and thank her for it. My youngest sister also made me a present of a nice dress, for which I thank her very much. She has my best wishes. — -P— . g .. Indistinet Ailments. There are many distressing symptoms of disease the causes of which are uncel;tiin. Debility, nervous irritation, mental stupor, and headache, for instance, may possibly be symptomatic of chronic disease in some particular .organ; yet, in a large maJjority of cases, at least, they arise from indigestion, and morbid conditions of | the liver and bowels engendered by a foul stomach. When this is the case | a few doses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will.usually effect a complete cure, but should the symptoms be only' mitigated without being entirely removed, Yz a brief course of the remedy, let be continued until every trace of disease has vanished. Dyspepsia is a wonderful mimic. It imitates with startling accuracy the indications of heart disease, brain disease, | kidney disease, and half a dozen other frightful dilments, and when the doc- | tors have solemnly announced the ex- | istence of one or other of these com- " Eflwu,haliaéemn doses of the Bitrs will, in most cases, explode their theories by curing the patient. 19-4

. . A Telling Platform. : The New York Liberal Democracy met in State convention on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Samuel J. Tilden, the noble reformer who gsecured the downfall of Boss Tweed, was nominated for Governor on the first ballot, and “"m.'l)m'sheimer, a Liberal Republican, for Lieutenant Governor. Hon. Horatio Seymour—that noblest Roman of them all—reported the following platform, which was unanimously approvesl: The Democratic party of New York pledge themselves anew to the principles set forth in their ptatform adopted last year at Utica, approved by the votes of the people of the Empire State, and indorsed by the people of Tllinpis, Michigan, Maine and other States .of the Union.

1. Gold and silver the only legal tender, and no currency inconvertible with coin. | L : ' 2. Steady steps toward specie payments, and no step backward ~ 3. Honest payment of the public debt in coin [applause], and the sacred preservation of the public faith. - 4. Revenue reform; Federal taxation for revenue only; no government partnership with protected monopohes. | 5. HHome rule to limit and localize, most jealously, the few powers intrusted to public servants, m‘unici-pa]f State, and Federal, and no centralization. e 6. Equal and exact justice to all men; no partial legislation, and no partial taxation. - 7. A press, but no gag laws. - 8. Free men; uniform excise laws, but no sumptuary laws. 9. Official accountability, enforced by bitter civil and eriminal remedies; no private use of the public funds by public ofticers. : 10. Corporations to be chartered by the State, always supervisable by the State in the interests of the peopleé. 11. The party in power is responsible for legislation while in power. 12. The Presidency is a public trust, not a private perquisite—no third term. 13. Eeonomy in publi¢ expenses, that labor may be lightly burdened. The Democrats of New York, in convention assembled, recognizing the independence and patriotism of the “Liberal Republicans” who, preferring principles to. party, shall unite with them in opposing the present State and National administrations, commend to their support and to the approyal of all honest and independent persons the foregoing platform and nominees of this convention. .

‘With Tilden standing on sucly a platform, the Empire State ought to be good for at least 30,000 majority.

Wz would not recommend the frequent or constant use of any medicine. 1t is important to take even a good article judiciously, Parsons’ Purqgative Pills are safe, prompt and reliable as a laxative or cathartic. s

Base.ball is undoubtedly good exercise and capital amusement, but it often occasi%ns bunged eyes, broken skins and bflistered hands. We can tell you that in all such cases, if Johnston’s Anodyne Liniment is resorted to, it will reduce the swelling and stop the pain. , ;

It is remarkable how little Ireland, with its less than six millions of people, continues to send, year after year, as many eiigrants to the United States as Germany, with its forty millions. From' January Ist, 1874, ‘to September Ist’ of the same year Ire: land reports 32,0000 emigrants to Germany’s 28,000. The whole emigration is but 108,000, when we used to receive from 300,000 to 500,000 a year. We shall hardly have, in 1874, 150,000.

Great wars and consequent revolutions have occurred, involving national changes of peculiar moment ,— The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last voluwe of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course.of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. : Ry i 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 multitude of new ‘men; whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars, Great battle s have been fonght 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 permaneni and authentic history. ; | 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, gnd to furnieh an accurate acconnt of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the Practicul arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of politi~cal and historical events. _ The work has been begun after long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most, ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. - ; None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new nyclnpsedia with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with ruch improvements in its composition as have been sufgested by longer experience and enlm':lged knowledge. he illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have Leen added not for the sake of Picmrial effect, but to' give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. - They embrace all branches of explanations in the text.

Walker’s Califorzia Yinegar Bitters are a purely Veg. - | * etablepreparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun-- | tains of California. the medicinal properties of which arc extracted - therefrom without the use of Alecohot. . The question is almost daily asked. ~ “AVhat is the cause of the unpar alleled success of VINEGAR BriTERS ?7 Qur answer is, that they .remove the -2ause of disecase, and ;. the patient recovers his health. They *rare the great blood puarifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Reno- . vator and lln\'i;rm'fltm‘ of the system. Never before in the history of the world - - has a medicine been compeunded possessing the remarkable gualities of VIxNEGAR BrrTERs 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 Bilious Diseases The properties of Dr. WALE- " ER'S VINEGAR BITTERS ave A'perient, Did- . phoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxa- . - { ‘live, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Spdorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious ! . Grateful Thousands proclaim VINEGAR BITTERS the most wondei- * ful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. : No Person can take these Bit~ters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their |/ bones are not destroyed by mineral 2/ poison or other means, and vital or 4 gans wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so nrevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, |- especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, ° Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, - Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro- > anoke, James, and many others, with their vast. tributaries, throughout our; entire country during the .Summe‘x2 and Autumn, and remarka- * bly so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derange- . - ments of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal visdera. In their -~ treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr.J. WALKER'S VINEGAR BirTERS, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which -the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the seeretions of the liver, ~ and genecrally restoring the healthy funetions of the digestive organs. e Fortify tie body against disease by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR BrrrTEßs— No- epidemic can take hold 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 advertisgment. ‘ Serofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulecers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affec- " tions, Old Sores, Eiuptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, ete.’ In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, WALKER'S VINi EGAR BITTERS have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable gases. . . For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no -equal. Such Dis- ~ eases are caused by Vitiated Blood. i Mechanical Diseases.—Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as - - Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters and Miuers, as they advance in life, are sub- * ject to paralysir of the Bowels. To guard aninst this, take a dose of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS occasionally. : For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, - Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustiles, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring- . worms, Scald-head, Sere Iyes, Lrysipe- . las, Iteh, Scurfs, Discolorations of the * Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the s§stom ina short time by the use of these Bitters, Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many theu- - sands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system Bf medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. * For Female Complaints, in young - .or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, orthe turn oflife, these Tonic Bitters digplay so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through!the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, . or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstru’cted and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tel you when. Keep the blood IYm‘e, and the health of the system will follow. S R. H. McDONALD & -CO., Druggists & Gen.
