The Farm and Household. | T s s s s ncnr h ohoN si s none s s ss e " Abserbents. | A correspondent of the New England Farmer, after rejecting muck, loam and sawdust, as absorbents of liquid manure, says: “What meets auy views is forest leaves and mold. Hard wood is best; but pine better than the other materials before menJioned. It is & good absorbent, and shoufd be placed in wet barn cellars, and barn yards, and hog yards, where there is an excess of liquid manure and water. It is poor in dry manure heaps, as it promotes fermentation _and fire-fanging, and if used for bedding cattle and horses it should not be allowed to remain long in the heap, but should be often spread around and trampled down hard to prevent ftire-fanging. - This continually adds . potash and vegetable matter to 'the | soil, besides the liquid part of the mannre that is adapted for saving.” : Cook Vegetables in Salt Water. It one portion of vegetables be boil‘ed in pure water, and another in that ro which a little salt has been added, a decided difference is perceptible in “Whe taste and odor, and especially in * the tenderness of the two portions. Vegetables boiled in water without salt are vastly inferior in flavor. This mferiority may go so far in the case . of onions that they are almost entirely destitute of odor or taste, though when cooked in salted water they possess, besides the pleasant salt taste, a peculiar sweetness and strong aroma. They also contain more soluble matter than when cooked in pure water. Evidently the salt, by adding density to the water, hinders the solution and evaporation of the soluble and flavoring principles ot the yegetables. This cxpwns the advantages ~_of an addition of Salt to boiling water. - And it is impossible to correct, by af--ler addition of salt to vegetables, the want of flavor in such as have been boiled without it. ' Brine a Cure tor Warts, : A correspondent, residing at Markesan, Wisconsin, ot the Albany Culitieator. says: “I see in your March number @ 'recommendation of a meth_od of curing warts on horses, which seents to e very cruels I am induced to give my experience in curing them, believing that warts have one origin, and are the same, and the same remedy will eure, on whatever animal they may be found. It is some years - sinee I saw a young man in Salem, Mass., the back of whose hands were literally covered with warts, many of them large and seedy, and very troublesome. [ told him to go and wash his hands in the tide water in the floom (he worked in a tide mill) three times a day for one week, and to use plenty of soap, and in-a few weeksi Lis warts were among the missing. Cows often have warts on theiy ud- ‘ ders. I have seen many, and some very bad, which I have cured by simply washing them after milking, for . one-or two weeks, with brine.” - - Manuring Orchards. At a meeting of the State Agricultural Society, whichtook place during _ the annual State Fair held at Roches- ~ ter, New York, the following remarks were made coneerning the manuring of orchards: o G Mur. Hooker inquired if the permanent fertility of our apple orchands conld be maintained without the free ~use of barnyard manuye. One gentleman said he applied such manure last tall and this spring, and ~_never before had such a crop of fruit. Orchards convenient to the barn and house, where manure was easily applied, generally bore well. ‘ . Mr., Hooker said his success had ever followed straight after every load " of manure. . | . Mr. Garretsee spoke of one of the Z largest and most flourishing orchards “in-Orleans county, where the fertility had been kept up to the highest point ~ solely by plowing under clover. . = 'l‘lne\){ﬁhnony of all the speakers was in™avor of high manuring of orchards in some way. )

Destruction to Inseets, The Jowrnal of*Chemistry publishes a recipe for the destruction of insects, which, if it be one-half as eflicacious as it is claimed to be, will prove invaluable: : e 2 “Hot alum water is a recent insectitude, It will destroy red and black ants, cockroaches, spiders, chintz bugs, and all the ¢rawling pests’ which infest our houses. Take two pounds of alum and dissolve it in three or four quants of boiling water; let it stand on the fire until the alum' disappears; then apply with a brush, while nearly boiling hot, to every joint and crevice in your closets, bedsteads, pantry shelves, and the like. Brush the crevices in the floor and the skirting or mop boards, if you suspect that they harbor verutin. If, in white-washing the ceillings, plenty of alum is added to the lime, it will also serve to keep _insects at a distance. Cockroaches will flee the paint which has been washed in cool alum water. Sugar barrels and boxes may be freed from ants by drawing a chalk mark just around the edge of the top of them. The mark must be‘ unbroken or they will creep over it, but a continuous chalk mark, half an inch in width, will set their depredations at naught. . Powdered alum or borax will keep the chintz_bugs at a respectable distance, and travelers should always carry a package in their hand-bags to scatter ‘over and under their pillows in places .where they have reason to suspect the présence of such bed-fellows.”

s o ;* Look Into Your Wells. - Only a few days sincé 1 was at a certain place where the people were -complaining that the water of their - well was becoming bad, almost untit to be used. Hitherto the water had - been excellent, clear and cool.. A s bucketful was drawn up and some put in a glass tumbler. Upon close inspe;:tion the water appeared a little roily, and contained some fine hair and fur, I took a looking-glass and reflected the sunlight to the bottom of the well, when, to the horror of every one, there was a dead rabbit fleating upon the surface about half decayed, and a dead mouse, and a dead toad, so far decayed that their flesh ‘was about half rotten. A boy was directed to draw out the water, most of which was removed in one hour. Then he was let down to-the bottom _ . l'of the well, the dead animals were re- '\ moved, the filth all scraped up and ! the bottom washed and scrubbed thoronghly with a broom. The next morning there was an abundance of clean water, cléar a 8 a running ftill from 2 mountain spring. What a de- " sirable ehange the labor of one hour eﬂ’eeted? n that water! ; A gentleman recently related to me an instance that oceurred somewhere “in céntral New York, in which the water in the well near the dwelling house became, so offensive that one eould searcely drink it. The well had: been cleaned out only a year previous, henee the conclusion was that a new vein of water, passing through some peculiar stratum of earth, had lately been opened into the well, The water was drawn out'and at the bottom the " shocking sight of a dead man electrified the inmates of the dwelling. About three weeks vrevious that man had disappeared in a mysteriong manner, : : :

By holding & mirror at the proper angle over thiei well when the sun is low in the west or east, and looking throng\n a tube of any sort of material onké can see distinctly all over the bottom of a deep well. Near the middle of the day it may sonietimes be necessary to employ two mirrors. In case a well is in the cellar, or is enclosed by a )\'ellfllollse.i two mirrors’ will be necessary in directing the sun’s rays to the bottom. Let the walls be properly protected by a tight curb, and look into them frequently. Even when the mouth is secured by a curb, rats, mice and cats are Jiable to fall into the water.—Cor. N. Y. Herald. . = Eoal

Fashion Notes. | { (Washington Cor. Lagrange Stun!durd) | ~ Short dresses on the streets seem to be the all-prevailing style. While this is good news for the dresses, it is bad for the sidewalks, and the hrh‘ks thereof are in tiers. -~ i : The average female adorns her head with a bewitching (not to'say rolicking) soft felt hat, with arakish crown and a thievish looking brim; and she who has not got one is crazy until she gets it, and after she has 1t [secured, she is mad because she didn’T get the other pattern. *“Twas ever thus!” One of the most elegant things we have seen lately is a sash of black gros grain sitk, over half a ‘yard wide, the ends of which are heavily embroider--1 with silk and jet, finished with a fringe of silk and jet a quarter of a yard deep. We saw at the sametitne very handsome Yak lace, thrée or foul inches wide, heavily beaded with _]'("{, for the moderate sum of $1 and $1.50 a yard. This lace is to be mueh worn this year, and nothing could [be more | stylish than it is. L “Barber pole stockings™ dre much worn by the ladies, and are, so far as can be seen, much admired by the gentlemen, who ever have an eye to the beautiful, but gxcessive modesty prevents them from giving proper expression to their feelings on the subject. © That they found favor in the eyes of one man is at least admissable from the following circumstance which accidentally came to my notice yesterday: Deceived by a pair of the new style stockings, gracefully displayed from the paternal porch by the belle of a thrifty village, he entered and asked for a “shave” and to have his hair cut. He succeeded in getting ' shampooed and having liis head cut. The girl said she could have overlooked the mistake was it not forhis ignorance of curves and symmetry in the comparison to barbers’ poles. He thinks he will be able to recognize the difterence when the milk and bread ‘poultices are removed from his eyes.

The New State House Question,

¢ Commenting upon the Indianapolis Journal's vemarks relative to the erection of a new State House, the ITuntington Herald very appropriately says: “This is a subject whi¢ch interests evely citizen in the State¢ and deserves to be fully discussed. The only question that ought to be taken into consideration in regard to the matter is whether the State is able to build it. Local prejudices, and envy of Indianapolis, are silly in the extreme. Taking this view of the case it seems clear thatit-is the duty of the Legislature, at its next session, to make the necessary appropriations for beginning the work immediately.— With our small debt, and great resources there is no reason why ouf public buildings should not compare favorably with those of any other State in the Union. It does not speak well for the liberality of the people to have cozrespondents, who come here from the East, write back that our Sta‘e House is a “disgrace.” But there is a more substantial reason for proceeding with the business than. that. We will be compelled to build soon and as it will take several years to finish the work, we might as, well be deriving the advantage now. It never can be put up any cheaper than at the present.”

Important to ga_ning-)lil:l Men. Planing-mill men, and the lumber interest generally, will remember the Woodbury-patent suit, which is still pending, and will probably soon come up for trial. The Woodbury Company claim a patent on the yielding pressure bar and rotary cutter upon letters issued April 29th, 1873, after several rejections by the Board of Commissioners. There are 53,000 of the ma¢hines in use, upon which the Company demand a royalty of %60 each per annum, or $8,000,000 in the aggregate. Some 620 firms are enrolled in the defense, with Caleb Cushing, W. M. Evarts, Edward Pierrepont, Chauncey Smith, :Walter Curtis, John 1. Drew, and C. M. Reed, as counsel. The Woodbury Company have engaged Benjamin F. Butler, several other well-known attorneys, and a mass of ex-Commissioners of Patents. The case will involve the constitutionality of at least one act of Congress, and the fortunes of many manufacturers.. The suit is brought. by C. R. Tompkins & Co., of Rochester county, New York, in the United States Supreme Court, to restrain Woodbury from collecting a royalty. .

The Cairo Gazette says: If a Democrat, should wish to take a long ride through -the Democratic territory he can do so now. He can start from Galveston to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and journeying through Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Manyland and Delaware, reach the Atlantic ocean without crossing the territory of a State that has asingle Repulilican representative in the next Lower House of Congress. These eight States extend through the heart of the Union, and they send 53 members to the National House of Representatives, and the whole 53 members just elected are Democrats—not a black sheep in the flock. Should a Republican make the journey, he will discover that the Democratic party is not yet dead. |

Editors will appreciate the incident which is thus faintly hinted at by the Hartford Post: “The young man who came into this office this morning, sat down on a box, and then bounced up with a yell and fled like one bewitched, is requested to return four long bdass tacks that stood on the box when |he took his seat. No questions will be asked—we understand & all; but we want those tacks—we have use for them. That box is specially devoted to parties who not only read our exchanges but spirit them away, and the tacks are what we depend on for excitement.” : . ‘

- Verily, the world moves. Russia, - which for centuries has been looked upon as the center of Iluropean ignorance and bigotry, is about to adoptLu system of compulsory education. With the inauguration of this reform the first step is taken toward the downfall of the unquestioned power.of the Czar, Education and absolute monarchy are incomhpatible, and the final result will furnish additional evidence of the 'fact. “The divine right of kings” ceases to be recognized when education has taught the masses the natural equality of all the children of Adam, iy |

PLAIN AND SENSIBLE TALK. ; The leading colored citizens of Tennessee havé recently inaugurated a movement which can only result in good to their race. It is no less than ; a step in the direction of absolute in- ‘ dependence from the political rings that have until quiterecently used the colored vote forthe most mischievous: purposes. | By telegraph. we learn | these particulars: ' The Presidents of the various colored societies in the city of Memphis have organized a society called the Knights’ Brotherhood and Monumental Association, the objects of which are set forth in a lengthy address to the colored people, published in the Tennessee papers, which is to discard | iall old politieal ties and cultivate and maintain permanent peace with the \ white people.of the South, in accordance with the dying words of Thomas l Swan, lzm}S President of the Pole Bearers. In their preamble and resolutions they say: _ : “We are fully aroused to the consciousness that we have been for years the dupes of crafty, designing and unprincipled men, whose only object was their own versonal aggrandizement, ‘irrespective of means or resuits to our injury. They have shorn us of our pecuniary accumulations, the result of weary years of toil, even to pennies accumulated by our youth and fledglings. All this we could bear; but they have left us, despised by our only true friends through their knavish representations and unmitigated falsehoods.; Our experience in this direction, for which we have amply paid, invites a change on our part.— Therefore, invoking the sheltering wgis of Almighty God, in whose goodness, marey and wisdom we trust for omr future guidanee, be it .

Resolved, That embracing tiie honest and | truthful advice of our late friend, Thol‘nus Swan, we now_ and {fm'ever ;shake off those unwarranted Jfears that have been created and used } as a bugaboo upon the minds of our simple people. We are at last convine- ’ ed that they were the fiction of political incendiaries, who have sacrificeed us and led us into our present trouble; and we now pledge ourselves, as l'eprc.sentativcs of our societies, henceforth to sever all aflinity and past relation with all men whose only valor resulted in plunder and strife.— We regret the blindness of the past that has alienated the kind feeling of our trué friends, and in our effort to improve the future we pledge our faith mutuailyito each other, and to whom it may concern, that, hereafter, wewill sustain no man for office unless he l‘re theroughly identified with the people of the soil, and in full and truthful| accord with our earnest desire to cultivate peace, harmony and industrial value among the races, now sequestered by vile and hieinous teach‘ings” | : We feel confident that a steadfast :ulherenkfre to the principles enunciated above will do more toward the removal of vrejudice on account of race or color [than all the finé spun theories of impracticable legislators. = Let the negro make good, honest use of the ballot, instead of placing himself at the disposal of designing demagogues, and in a very few years their condition will be greatly bettered. U i i o> P 3 " Does it Consist ? In his speech, delivered at, Greencastle, this-State, August 13{11, 1874, Hon. Joseph E. McDonald said: “I have never been able to bring myself to believe in the legality of the legaltender clause of the law .authorizing the issue of treasury notes, notwithstanding it has been so decided by the Supreme Court of the United States.” ‘At the same time Mr. McDonald believes and says tliese legal-tendernotes, or greenbacks, ought to be substituted for the notes of the National Banks, thus saying that he is in favor of making the money of this country en-tirely-of the kind which was issued under an illegal act of Congress.— ¥ - cenpes Nun. : el 6 P - PR A Library of Valuable Information.

They embrace all branches of | ecience aud of natural history, and depict the- - famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as the various pro- ' cesses of mechanics and manufactures, Although i iintended for instruction rather than embellish- { ment, no pains have been gpared to insure their i artistic exceﬂence; the 'cost of their execntion is enormous, and it is believed they will find a wel--’c-::mo reception as an admirable feature of the i -Cyclopwedia, and worthy of its high character. !
