It is to the int=vest of the temant, says the Ohio Farmer, to spend as little for extra I<%or as possible, because the owner of 1= tand gets half the benefit, without iesiing any of the expense. When e vountry was new and the land ssch, & man could, perhaps, afford to zive half the products, as he could get “fair crops withi littde labor; but now 13wt the land is more or less rundown, =nd it is necessary to baild it up with

stanure and good culture, it is impossilde for a man to expend the necessa- +¥ lwbor and give half the produce for seni. It mav be done for a year or iwe .on land in high condition;. but the farm must inevitably deteriorate under the system. A man might afford o rent a grass farm on shares, but not an arable farm. It is difficult 1o take one of our ordinary run-down farms and raise enough from it, for fhe first few years, to pay the cost of: lsbor and support the teams. It would e cheaper, so far as immediate profit is comcerned: to pay one hundred délJars an acre for a farm in high condition, with good buildings and fences, than to accept as a gift one of these run-down farms. Itistime this matter s'as mnderstood, so that those uneasy saortals who are always expecting to sell, and comseguently make no effort %o kesp up and improve the land, should be compelled to turn over a new leaf, or else dispose of their farms =t a low figure.

TEEATNMENT OF FROZEN PLANTS.— 1t is a fact, proved by innumerable iliws rations, that, within certain limits, more plants pensh from the manner of thawing than from the process of freeving. Hardy shrubs and trees, exposed to the, full sunlight and warmth, gma:flyﬂtpﬁer’;more from the winter's exposure than others of the same species that occupy a shaded pition, although in this last case 1« degree of cold, both as to its maximsum and its average, may be greater rham the Grst. It is the frequentfreezsng and thawing—especially the latter —7hat does the damage. Many experiments prove that many plants, »hen frozen to such a degree as to inewvitably result in death, may, by a judicious use of certain means that are ‘mithin the reach of every person, be =sved. | There is one precaution, an egchange suggests, that should al~wevs be kept in'mind in dealing with frozen plants; that is, never to expdse Ihsemn suddenly to a temperature more than ome degree above:the freezifig pomit. Exposure to an elevated temyerature will prove the death knell of wll frozen plants, especially if they be of tender species. The sudden raising of the temperature in a green-house, «Tter it had been allowed to get too wold, has often resulted in more loss than the frost itself had produc«d. Tlants that have been exposed to the frost should, if possible, be placed in a dark room or cellar where the temperature is but slightly raised

- ‘wbove the freezing point. Light, as ¢ - well as’heat, is known to be injurious s Trozen plants. When thus protect-

@d from both light dnd heat thev may

e Jeft to slowly return to their nor- % imsl condition, which they generally @& without any serious injury, provid- . .»f mo erganic or structural injury has

| CemwerciAl FERTILIZERS.—Large guantities of commercial fertilizers are sold because many farmers and gardeners, in some of the States, are umsble to obtain enough stable mamure for their ecrops. In seasons of fregent rains thege fertilizers produce, in many ms!*noes.h good results, but ibey are not as reljable as barnyard | dmmg. Al that we should seek for'in commercial fértilizers, an exchange sx¥s, are potash, nitrogen, (ammonia) whesphori¢ acid, sulphiric acid and lime, the first three constituents being. “he most important, and in buying commercial fertilizers we should sei=rt thoss that contain potash, as the test; second, notrogen; third phosphsoric acid. The following is the list «f seme of the best fertilizers and the woices per 100 pounds in the city of New York: E m%w Be w 8 Sygheteof potash, | €0 % 4 . 490 s | RoL N eeam

~ The four last articles. also contain a «artain guantity of ammonia, which governs the prices. Bone flour and superphosphate of lime are worth $2 per 100 pounds;. or if dissolved with seipharic acid (ammonia principally) the prices are a trifle higher. We con-

sifer muriate of petash the safest article for farmers to buy, as the potash i= good for any crop. The way of appiving all the above, except the bone #four and saperphosphate,~is to mix them with four times t,héir bulk of swi, and apply a small quantity in the %ifls of corn, potatoes, etc,, with/ the ==l spreading it somewhat. -Some «i tbese fertilizers may require dis«siving in water, and the soil saturat«d = layers from a water pot. Our = ijrice to farmers is to obtain some of sba fertilizers 1o experiment with, 4T 'it be only a few pounds from your illage druggist, if he can supply "hem. He may ask double the above prices, but-for a small experiment the @ifierence will not be much. -

. How 10 MAKE A Hoc TROUGH.— An exchange declares it is an egregious error to assert, as many farm+ss have done, that a hog is predispos=d to plant his fore feet in the trough while eating. Nothing is moreabsurd. A hog is no more inclined to put his forward feet in the trough than a borse is wont to put his feet into his manger. The great fault is in the cons_séction of the hog’s trough. Almost always the trough is so deep and the ‘fromt side so high/that the feed cannot e reached by either large hog or pig - =mtil the feet are planted in the -ﬂﬂonf;’: trough. Small pigs are required to mount into the trough with every foot before the they can veach the feed. These are the reasons why a heg puts his fore feet into the trough. Let the front part of the trough be made so that the animal can' . walk up to it and reach the feed with‘out vesting his throat on the edge of -the trough, and he will stand up to it -=s = horse does to his manger. There ' #s mo mecessity for making a hog’s

trough 50 broad and deep that it will contain four times as much feed as -will ever be put into thetroughatany ‘one time. If the front is three inches ‘deep and the botg%m ten inches broad in the clear, the trough will hold ali the 'swill and other feed that can be eaten at one feedingby as many swine ‘as can stand in front of the trough. The eorrect dispesition of the trough is to place it between the feeding ‘apartment and the space appropriated to the animals. Then let the parti‘tion be made in the form of a flap or. \ a gate, and be hung by hinges above the trough, with the lower end-of the flap hanging in the trough, so-that it ‘can play from one side of the trough to the other. By this arrangemeht the flap can 'be fa.stehed by a bolt to the front side until the feed i§ putinto ‘the trough. Then, as soon as the feed is ‘properly distributed, - unbolt the lower edge of the flap, draw it to the other side, and fasten it. By this plan the swine will stand up to the trough like a row of horses at their mangers. : 5

The Important Question. - Of all loathsome diseases Catarrh stands -pre-eminent. It renders its victim as disgusting to himself as to others. And the most humiliating- of all is the consciousness that his présence is offensive to those around him, If any disease deserves .the name of universal, it is this. Dietetic errers and the follies which fashion imposes upon us tend to foster and dissemi-nate-it———To the pitiful cry of victims, is there any cure for Catarrh? there is but one answer consistent with Christian reason. God has never sent one evil into the world for which he ' has not .sent the. remedy. For the greatest of all spiritual and moral evils, the Great Physician has preseribed a potent and mnever-failing remedy. He has given explicit rules for the treatment and preservation of’ the spiritual and moral man, but He is'silent in all matters' relating to the physical man. It would be an un“warrantable detraction from His beneficent character to suppose that He has afflicted the greater portion of ‘humanity with an incurable dijsease. The day of plague is past.. The God of Christianity is a God of Love, of Mercy, His message is “good will to all men.” The earth and all' contained therein was intended by the great Designeér tosupply man’s wants; and surely he has no greater wants than remedies for his, ‘infirmities. Science is rapidly proving that the earth is fitted to;supply man’s uttermost need. New. medical plants are constantly being discovered and new properties developed from those already known. For Catarrh, the most polent .remedy yet discovered is Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Its efficacy has been tested in- many thousand cases with uniform. success. Cases that had been repeatedly pronounced ‘incurable, readily yielded to it. .In confirmed, or obstinate cases, Dr. Pierce’s Golden =~ Medical Discovery should be taken in connection with the use of the Catarrh Remedy.

What Thomas Carlyle Thinks of DarCarlyle is now: very feeble through age but his memory is still marvelous, and the flow of his talk—doubtless'the most eloguent of the age—is unabated. Take this as a sample: = “I have known three generations of the Darwins, grandfather, father, and son ; Atheists all. " The brother of the present famous naturalist, a quiet man, who lives not far from here, told me that among his grandfafher’s effects .he found a seal engraven with this legend: ‘Omnia ex conchis,;’ everything from a clam shell! Isaw the naturalist not many months ago; told him that I had read his ‘Origin of the Species! and other books; that he had by no means satisfied me that men were descendants from 'monkeys, but had gone far toward persuading me that he and his so-called scientific brethren had brought the present generation of Englishmen very near to monkeys. “A good sort of a man is this Darwin, and well-meaning, but with very little intellect. = Ah, it’s a sad and terrible thing to see nigh a whole generation of men and women, professing to be cultivated, looking around in a pur--blind fashion, and finding no God in this universe. I suppose ‘it isa reaction from thereign of cant and hollow pretence, professing to believe what in. fact they do not believe. And this is what we have got to. - AH things from frog spawn; the gospel of dirt the order of the day. The older I grow—and I now stand upon the brink of eternity—the more comes back to me the sentence of the catechism, which I learned when a child, and the fuller and the deeper its meaning becomes: ‘What is the chief end of man?’ ‘To glorify God and toenjoy Him forever.’ No gospel of dirt, teaching that men have descended from frogs through monkeys can ever set that aside.”— Hartfort Courant.

A WASHINGTON telegram states that the political bank account of the Chairman of the National Republican Committee, whieh has been in the hands of the House Committee on Powers and | Privileges, has not yet been made public and putin.evidence, and possibly will not be. It shows that the largest contribution to. the campaign!fund was $20,000 from Jay. Gould, and that the largest:single remittance to the committee came from its Massachusetts member (Mr. Hoar), and amounted to the sum of over $25,'OOO. - The amount'of money collected from the department; clerks there does not appear, but is believed to excee(j $50,000. One check for $lO,OOO was made payable to Governor Hayes’ order, who passed it over to the Ohio State Republican Committee,by whom it was used.: | : )

Didn’t Want His Frau Insured, A German farmer living near Desmoines, lowa, had his barn insured for $5OO, which was $3OO more than it was worth. Not long ago it was burned, and ‘he demanded the full amount of the policy. - The company offered to settle with: him for $2OO, and on receiving arefusal, built a new barn for him. A week ago a life insurance agent called ‘upon him and urged him to have his wife’s life insured.. The farmer used the logie of analogy: '“I had my barn insured for five hundred tollars,und when it burned down they pay me no five hundred tollars, but build me a new barn, Now 1 get my frau insured for one tousand tollars and she die. Den yon give me no tousand dollars, but make me take another old Dutch woman. ,I')at ’8 what you make me do. Idon’t 'want me frau insured.” Shl o g

THE exports of petroleum, for the yeai 1876, foot up 5,172,405 barrels of refined, and 602,579 barrels of crude. The home consumption for the sanie time has been equivalent to 7,500 barrels of crude oil per day, or, 2,737,500 barrels for the year. It is estimated that the consumption has been greater than the production by over one million barrels, and the prospect for a fair and profitable ' business for the present year is congidered very flate

A great revival work is progressing down in Fulton county, and many’ are uniting with the Baptist and United Brethren churches. -

A congregation of Roman Catholics in Rome, N. Y, has gone over in a body to the Protestant Episcopal ehurch. The members are Germans, and the movement grew out of a quarrel with the Priest. . e

The rite of baptism was performed at the Baptist church in this city last Sunday evening. There is a deep religious feeling pervading the minds of the people of this place, which extends, we believe, to all denominations.— Warsaw Indianian. It affords us much pleasure to announce that the junior editor of the Sturgis (Mich.) Journal-Times, Wm. H, H. Mattingly, has united with the M, E. Church of that place. He has the prayers of his' paternal ancestor that he may hold out faithful to the end. ' Referring to the revival meetings in progress in that place, the editor truly says: “Religion makes'a man a better citizen, a better neighbor and a better parent. It is indispensable to perfect character in this life, and holds out the only hape of a life beyond.”—Bourbon Mwror.

T O e A Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before his departure for India, the lamented 'Heber preached a sermon, whieh contained this beautiful sentiment: ; tegdex

" *“Life bears us on like the stream of a mighty river, Our boat glides down the narrow ghannel—through the playtful murmuring of the little brook, and the winding of its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms .over our young heads, the flowers on the brink seem to offer themselves to our young hands; we are happy iu hope, and gras% eagerly at the beauties around us—but the stream hurries us on, and still our hands are empty. Our course in youth and manhood is along a wilder flood, amid objects more striking and magnificent. 'We are animated at the moving pictures of enjoyment andindustry passing us, we are excited at some short-live% disappointment. The stream bears us®on, and our joys:afd" griefs are alike left behind us.: We may be shipwrecked, we cannot he delayed; whether rough or smooth, the river hastens to its home, till the roar of the ocean(;is in our ears, and the tossing of the waves is beneath our feet, and the land lessens from our, eyes, and the floods are lifted around us, and we take our leave of earth and its inhabitants, until of our further voyage there is no witness, save the Infinite and Eternal.,” .

" Price of Wedding Notices, The editor of the Northern Indiantan does not charge for wedding notices, but, nevertheless, has-a method of grading such publications which has, at least, the appearanc of being founded on principles of justice and equity—to himself. He discourses on his mental susceptibilities thusly: ~“The length, vigor and mental labor that accompanies a marriage notice is regulated by the amount the greom sends to the printer. For instance, a dollar bill will get a few well chosen lines commemorative of the event, two dollars will secure a better notice, but we lay ourselves out when the happy groom, in the exuberance of his feelings, sends us a $5 note. Some of the finest writing that we have ever done has. been brought out under this last stimulus. Besides it’s the fashionable price everywhere!” e — - E— ) A Remedy for Small-Pox. . Edward Hine, in a communication to the Liverpool Mercury, says: “I am willing to risk my reputation as a public man if the worst case of smallpox cannot be effectually cured in three days, simply by cream of tartar. This is the sure and mever-failing remedy: One ounce of cream of tartar dissolved in a pint of boiling water, to be drank when cold, at short intervals. It can be taken at any time, and is a preventive as well as a curativé. It is known to have cured in a hundred thousand cases without a failure. I have myself restored hundreds by this means. It never leaves a mark, never ¢auses blindness, and always prevents tedious lingering. If the people would only try it and report all the cures to you, youswould require to employ many columns if you gave them publicity.” -

. Remarkable Fecundity. - Mr. William Gochénour, who resides near Bourbon, was married nearly ten years ago—but not quite. During this time his wife has presented him with ten children, all alive and doing well; or, at least, they were a few days ago. The first six were twins, and came into the world a pair at each time. - The other four came trooping -along after, one at a time; but the idea of being the parents of ten children'in less than ten years, shows a fecundity on the part of the good woman that is, to say the least, remarkable.— Warsaw Indtanian. - : Ml

So far there has been little or no frost in the ground this winter. On Monday some laborers engaged at digging a ditch on the Ben Fisher farm on the Isle of Que, dug out live snappers, frogs and snakes. The snakes and frogs were about two feet under ground.—Selinsgrove (Pa.) Ttnes.

A Lie Well Told. A Masonic lodge in this State was presided over by a Master who hadi an exaggerated notion of discipline.’ One night he had met his lodge in { called meeting (not a member absent) to instruct them in the work. Teach~ ing the use of the gravel, he had just ‘ called them up with three knocks,‘ then he leaned too far back, fell ‘ against the window that was behind him, fell through, fell to the ground ! four stories, and broke his neck. Picked up next morning, he was buried decently, but not a Mason came to 1} the funeral. More strange still, not a Mason appeared again in that village. It was inexplicable. Forty women left widows, two hundred and twenty ‘children left orphans, eightyfour mevchants left in the lurch, with unpaid bills. ' Twenty years after, that, somebody went up in that fourth story, broke open the door, and behold the lodge, a lodge :of skeletons! Strange but true; they had rigidly obeyed the orders of the W. M., and waiting for the knock to seat them, had starved to death. Each was standing in an atti- I tude of respectful attention, “looking to the east,” and had ngt the pitying citizens taken. them down and removed them, they would have been standing there yet. Such is life. AFTER protesting vigorously against ‘the inhumanity which prompts some newspaper paragraphers to jest at the ignorance which brings misery upon unfortunate people, Bayard Taylor experienced a playful spasm in which he wrote the following: ‘‘One morning Miss Bridget O’Farre! ) S}?hlitted up a petrolenm%arr.el; : *Now,’ said she, ‘l'll have a foine fire!’ . And surely she did, For when they found Bid ! She was baked like a brick— Only dryer.” =
