Tae Farm and Household.

' JosErix BAILEY, a farmer of Grant county, Wisconsin, whose postoffice is at Lancaster, says forthe information of other farmers that last year he sowed flaxseed with his wheat as a protection against chinch-bug with perfect sucoess. = ]

THERK is 2 complaint ameng some farmers of having hogs in the pen that won't get fat, no matter how muh they eat. A gentleman in Cariyle, 111, killed some hogs thus affect«d recently, and he found their intestines hiterally cramméd full of worms from six t 9 twelve inches long.

~'No maix of consequence, says the ‘Bourbon Mirror, has fallen in this re=ion for nearly three months. Are we going to have another dry spring and sammer and devastating, fires next fall? One extreme generally follows snother. Prepare for the worst. Keep vour fence corners. clean and your plows ready for service in case of ne-

CrrE. FOR CATARRH—When the person is attacked with what seems a eold, buat which is really perindical

eaarrh, heat a brick very hot and tuwrn strohg vinegar upon'it, having first. thrown a thick ‘cloth over the patisnt’s head. Let the fumes enter the mostrils and flow ovér the head, with intervels of pure air. Repeat sgveral times a day till relieved. This ixs emtirely cured .when ‘every other means failed. ~ -

Locxsaw.—Every little while, says agp +exchange, we read of some one who Las stuck a rusty nail in his foot «r some other part of his person, and isckjaw has resulted therefrom. All sach wounds can ke healed without auy fatal eomsequence following them. The remedy is siinple: It is eniy le smike such wound, or any woand or bruise that is inflamed, with burning wool or woolen cloth. Twen1y minmtes in the smoke of wool will ‘take the pain out of the worst case of mitammation, arising from a wound we eVer saw. i ;

Eatineé Frurr.—When fruit does harm it is because it is eaten at improper times, in improper quantities, or before it is ripened and fit for the Buman stomach. A distinguished physician has said that if his patients =ould make a practice of eating a couple of good oranges before breakfast, from February to June, his practice would be gone. The principal evil is, according to the Medical Jourwal, that we do not eat enough of frait; tnat[;we injure its finer qualities with sugar; that we drown them in cream. We need the medicinal action of the pure fruit acids.in our svstem, and their cooling, corrective infigence. g )

- Cows AND MILE. ~The art of feeding our lico'vrs so as to produce the _sreatest quantity and the best quality “of milk) is neither understood nor practiced generally. An experienced writer who says that one good cow =ives all the milk that is needed in a family of eight persons, and, from which ecow was made 260 pounds, of butter last year, gives the following as his treatment., He says: “If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk give your cow every day water slights ir warm, slightly salted, in which %ran has been stirred at the rate of ‘wne quart to two gallons of Waéer. ‘Yon will find, if you have not tried ihis daily practice, that your cow will give 25 per cent. more milk im_mediately, under the effects of it, and <he wil become so attached to the «iiet as to refuse to drink clear water snless very thirsty; but this mess she will drink almost any time, and ask for more. The amount of the drink necessary is an ordinary water pail full at each time, morning, noon and nisht™ . . ; .

To CLEAN A RUsTY PLow.—Take 2 quart of water and pour slowly into i kalf a pint of Sulphuric acid. The wmixture will becomequite warm from < bemical action, and this is the reason = uiv the acid should be poured slowly mto the water, rather than the water into the acid, and let it remain’on the iren until it evgpo‘rabes; Then wash it again.’ The object is to give the acid time to dissolve the rust. Then wash with water and you will per-

exive where the worst spots are; Ap-

»!y¥ some mopre acid and rub on those . spots with a brick. The acid and the - soouring will remove most of the rust. Then wash' the mould-board . thor- " ouzhly to remove all the acid, and . rabitdry. Brush it over with petro- + Jemm, or other oil, and let it be till spring. When you go plowing take a

boltle of the acid Wwith you and apply . 1t every hour to any spot of rust that may remain. . The acid and the scour#mz of the earth will soon make it perfectly bright.and smooth. If all iron work be washed off with petro-l-uwn as soen as we pub our tools, impiements and machines aside for win%er, it will keep them from rusting, and save a great deal of tl}mble and annovanee, to say npthing of depreci: ' mizon and loss. t

Bry Smarr Trees—Nurserymen =sdaliy describe treeson I,heir catalsgues as “second class,” “medium,” ~sirst-class,” and “extra.,” The difference in these classes is principally, if not wholly, in the size and height of ‘the trees; and as most farmers desire ihe best, they suppose that the large extra trees merit thatdescription, and _Bence order them. The fact is, however, thai a small’ tree will grow faster and (if a fruit tree) come into bearing condition sooner than a large one; und, as the New England Homestead states, in half a dozen years the tree that was small when planted will be larger and finer than the other. The larger the tree, the larger the roots which it has, and the larger the roots ihe less fibers there will be upon them, A tree that has plenty of fibrous roots =il grow readily if proper care is wsed in transportation; but noamount of skill ean coax a tree to live and flourish which is deiﬁtube,;ot these Yittle fibers. The roots of large trees _are always more or less mutiliated in mﬁ-« taking up, while small irees sustain little injury from this source. nﬁ in trees assert that

had. Those who aré to set treés the eoming season will do well to learn from the experience of those who, at ‘eonsiderable loss to themselves, have demonstrated that small trees are the ones to buy. L s

FERTILIZING LAND.—The sooner and cheaper, says Coleman’s Rural World, the farmer can get his manure upon his land the better—only bé sure to get'it there bePore the strength is wasted by rainand exposure.’ If he will haul it from his stables and barn-yards-as it accumulates, or without leaving it too long, and spread it upon: his lands, he will not bave much use for pits and heaps, as it will save handling twice, at least, to haul it direct to the Jand, instead of throwing it into a pit, and afterwards, .again load; ing and unloading.. With market gardeners and small fruit growers,, the practice is different, as they want to destroy the vitality of. the seeds contained in the manure, aud by going through a fermenting process the object is obtained. It would be well, however, for every.farmer to have in some convenient place, a pit a couple of feet deep and fifteen.or eighteen feet.in diameter, into which to throw, all the refuse and trash about the premises, and, if no field is ready to reeeive manure, to throw it'in here, to lay till such time as it is needed. =lt may be piled to the height of several feet, and additionscan De made atany time. We always keep such a pile, and find it a convenient plage for all kinds of trash. "It is not nece%sary to, go to the expense of covering. If the ‘pile could be worked over about once | or twice, to. thoroughly mix the éon: tents, it would be desirable. -~ While the saving and applying of manure is ‘a . subject of very great importauce, and cannot be pressed too closely upon th;‘ minds of farmers, yet it is impos: gible to pr(:)duce and save enough ma'nures to keep up any farm with a.bad system of culture. - The farmer must constantly study how"t"o prevént the exhaustion of the fertility of his soil. He must follow a system of rotation of crops, to prevent the robbing of the soil of the- ingredients on which any one crop may chiefly subsist, and which, if gone, it will be almost im‘possible to supply. Different. crops feed upon different constituents in the soil; and while it may yield,enough to support various crops for a long number of years, yet if one crop only were Traised, unless the soil was un.commonly rich in the constituents up-}~ on which it fed, it would soon become exhdusted of them -and ruined, or “nearly so. Hence the importance of a change of crops. .

s Farmers, Mechanies, e And all people who appreciate the value of keeping a memorandum of business transactions, daily events, and items of interest or importance, for future reference, should call on their druggists -and get Dr. Pierce’s Memorandum book free. The Doctor’s Invalids’ Hotel at Buffalo, which costs, when finished, two hundred thousand dollars, will be opened early in June next, for the reception of patients afflicted with chronic diseases and deformities. It will afford the most perfect facilities for the cure of sueh affections, and its Faculty of physicians and surgeons will embrace graduates from both American and European Medical Schools who have become distinguished for their skill. The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, by Dr., R, V. Pierce, a work of over nine hundred large pages, illustrated by two hundred and eighty-two engravings, and elegantly bound in cloth and gilt, is sent to any address by the Author on receipt of .one dollar and fifty cents. Almest one hundred thousand copies have already been sold. S. A. Craig, Esq., druggist, of West Alexander, Pa., says: “L.sell more of Dr. Pierce’s preparations than all others combined, They give satisfaction in every case and I ean cheerfully recommend them to the public.” :

How He Lost Ilis Damagés. (From the Detroit Free Press.)

.Soon after dinner, Thursday, a citizen of Third street entered a lawyer’s office and began: ; - ; “My wife has been bitten by a dog.” “Good!” replied the lawyer. “You must claim damages in the sum of $300.° Tt

“Yes; she was bitten three times by the brute,” continued the husband, “and of course I want damages.” “Well now you go home and tell your wife to go to bed and stay there for at least a week. Have her groan and take on, and suffer great pain:and distress, and call in the neighboxs to witness her sufferings . “We’ll' just make the'man who owns that dog get up and howl” - ; v : The man left in a joyful frame of mind and yesterday he came back, looking sorrowful. | = - A “No use trying,” sadly said he, shaking his head. “My. wife waited just long enough to find out that the dog wasn’t mad, and then she started out to make twenty-two calls this afternoon, and I guess -we haven’t got a case.” i

Death of the Boy With the Monster Head - “le Troy (N. Y.) Times. ity . Matthew Dorn, the monster-headed boy, is dead. He was.fifteen years of age and was certainly-a curiosity, if not a monstrosity, so far as his eranium was concerned. It is said that his head was nearly four feet in circumference and weighed quite eighty pounds. He was of Irish parentage. When six- weeks old his head began growing much meore rapidly than his body, and ‘continued to grow up to within a few weeks of his death, which occurred early this week. He was never able to sit up, 'but could move his head from right to left while Iying on'a pillow. During’'the Centennval Exhibition he was taken- there by speculative persons, but the undertaking did not prove successful there or in Albany, where hie was subsequently exhibited for a few days. His body at the time of his death weighed about one-half as much as his head. .

* Senator Reeve lately introduced a bill providing that in all elections for such measures as require a special tax, those only who have property that will be taxed therefor shall vote, and this class shall include both sexes, and the guardians of heirs. On this proposition the Valparaiso . Vidette asks: “Without ‘endorsing fhis proposal we admit its plausibility,-but would not justice equally require that each should vote according to the share of tax.that he would have to pay? Should not $lOO or $l,OOO constitute a share, and each one cast as many votes for such a purpose as he owns of such shares to be taxed? If property be made the suffrage basis, must they not be ratable in order to be equitable?” e i

“Society” in Washington is in a craze excitement over breach of promise cases involving the most ancient of the genatorial roosters. The latest of these litigious clouds is gaid to be hanging over the head of Howe, the venerable Senator of Wisconsin, who has rounded ouf three-quarters of a century, while his confiding vietim, so the reporf says, inan innocent young thing twenty-five years his junior, .

To the Editor of The National Banner:

The silent ones are sometimes the most prudent, but whether this be true or not we venture once more to contribute what we can to the readers of THE BANNER: S If we were erudite enough we would fly to lofty realins of thought, ané produce to the readérs something really substantial, but, alas! it wounld be folly to try, and we dare not disappoint oursel: ! : :

- Everything seems to be drifting along smoothly, and nothing seems to. excite the imagination or' the attention of the people more than the work of providing wood and to sit by the fire, lookihg ¢ver the political issues of the day - Ind vainly trying to satisfy their minds in regard to the Presidency. Indeed, to us, this has become too stale to r€ceive much attentlon.' ‘Why is it that this imatter has become sO, quiet? Why, verily, before the election our American peoplé were going to elect their President by the point of the bayonet; now il seems they have entirely cooled off. We say “they,” for we have been adding to our avoirdupois since the election until now it reaches 203. It’s no special providence, it’s the result of hygienic living, Jap, and net of worriment. Mr. More says, “R'epub’licans squeal about the compromise.” It may be so in Kansas, but | Republicans here are terribly, quiet ‘about it. Donr’t talk “Democrat” and “Republican” to us, we’re sick of ’em. 3 - - Small-pox is .said to exist in our neighboring village, Mottville—the result of an exposure by sleeping with an individual who was already broken out with that disease.

—The County Superintendent bhl now pendihg in the House provides that Superintendents shall ‘be examined by the State Board of Education, first as totheir scholarship, and second as to their capacity to do business. In other respects it is essentially the same as the present law, But a few meddlesome fellows, not content tolet a good thing alone, propose reducing the compensation of Superintendents from $4 per day fo $3, and cuttin? down their number of working days. In ‘other words, increased qualifications are to be rewarded by decreased pay. This, the Crawfordsville Journal argues, is simply absurd. Good men will net work for any such sum, and poor men cannot pass the examinations of the State Board. The amendments, if they prevail, threrefore, practically-render the superintendency of none effect. ' :

THERE seems to be a praiseworthy inclination manifested throughout the country to expose and punish the heartless. frauds known as life insurance 'compgnies which are and have been for years trading upon the capital furnished by their victims. Prosecutions for perjury and fraud have been instituted against the managers of some of these concerns whose rottenness has been covereéd up from year to y‘eér by a parade of assets wlich turn out upon examination to. be either worthless -or fietitious. It is to be desired that exemplary punishment shall be inflicted in every in‘stance of this kind where a conviction can be obtained. A more heartless form of swindling was never devigsed than bogus life insurance. ..= |

A Hir.—The Germantown 7'elegraph says: “It is a very common practice for meetings to pass resoluton§ of respect for somebody who has departed this life; or meetings of any kind wind up their resolutions with one requesting them to be published in certain newspapers, but this resolution is seldom, if ever, coupled with a proviso to raise. meney enough to pay_ for the same.” On the contrary, 1t i$ expected that the publisher is to insdrt it .and spread the names .of thege actors before the public gratuitously. This we regard as the quintessence of meanness, as the publisher. himself, must bear the expense of the advertising.” :
