The Farm and IMOH Some NosE IN SHEEP.—Sheep are frequently affected with “sore nose,” being scabbed so badly as to interfere with eating.® Spirits of turpentine wived with soft lard or goose oil; %.4f a 2 pint of each, stirred well togeth- «+ while cold, is said to be an effectu=l remedy. This quantity is sufficient for 100 sheep. In some cases it may weed to be applied a second time. Rab on thoroughly. o

OmcEARD GRASS.—A Missouri farmer writes: *I sowed the first orchard Frass six years ago, and several timés since. It is the best pasture grass Ihat I ever seen sowed. It begins to +sow early in the spring, and gets wmg enough for stock to bite it befure other grass has more than fairly ot started to grow. It stands the drouth better' than blue grass, and ssakes more than twice 'the amount of forage; and when permitted to seed will yield from fifteen Yo twenty tushels per acre., It can be harvested n the same manner as wheat. | Then Jet it stand in shock without ‘being capped until it bleaches. . Then thresh =nd put itaway” = :

Crr STRAW FOR BEDDING.—When farmers have facilities for cutting straw by horse power, an -exchange Ihiuks it advisable to cut the bedding Jot their stock, as it absorbs the urine «f the gajtle much more effectually Ikan when it is uncut; it keeps its place better under them, mixes better with the manure, and decomposes quicker tha.u{kmg straw., Manure so mixed Is in condition to be used in the Sprinming easily spread, and. tedter adapted for plant food than it is when in an adhesive, lumpy condition. When straw is thus’ cut, & yiace should be provided ‘to hold all Ihe straw cut in a day, at least, becanse when the horse and cutter are =t work, it is best to keep them at work till enough straw is cut to last several weeks. a Vs

Hoe CooLEßA.—Seeing a great many recipes published for- the prevention and,fure of hog cholera, a correspondent of one of our exchanges is constrained to throw in his mite. He says: “I have had a great deal of ex- " periente in hog raising, and have been very successful with them. I have long since concluded that most \a!l cases of cholera, and in fact nearly ‘R dismit.he hog is subject to, orig- ~ inath fromh lice and worms, and if * they are kept free from them they are wvery aptto be healthy and thrifty. 1 use a preventive rather than a cure. My remedy for several years past has ‘been goal tar, and any kind of soft grease, mixed in equal quantities, and rubbed on the hog, say once a month, or as often as they get lousy, will " keep them in good condition outwardly: inwardly I use copperas, turpentine, salt and ashes and soapsuds, " though there is nothing better taken imwardly than coal tar—but a hog will have th be hungry before he will eat msth coal tar on it. .I have not had 2 case of cholera among my hogs since I have adopted the use of coal tar with them. If you think it will do any one any good you can publish n" ) 74

- EXTRAORDINARY WHEAT CULTTrE—lt has been my good for’tg_ne, says the San Francisco - Bulletin, during the past six months to witness the growth and yield of wheat, planted and cultivated in a new way to most people, of which I propose to give you a statement. D. O. Bissell; who resides in Goose Lake Valley, Modoc county, Cal, is a practical as well as a theoretical | farmer. He holds that the old mode of wheat-rais-ing—that is, of sowing from 100 to 159 pounds of grain per acre—is

" wrong, contrary to the true princii .- pdes of agriculture, an' unnecessary | waste of seed and exhaustive to the ' seil. In conversation with a party of friends (farmers) he presented that preposition, stating further that he : éauTl raise forty bushels of wheat to ‘the acre from one pound of seed. _ _The idea being scouted.as impossible, . he offered to wager twenty dollars . that he could do it. The wager was ' accepted, whereupon Mr. Bissell, on ~ the eighth day of last April, proceeded " %o put his proposition to the proof by - . having one-eighth of an acre carefully measured in the presénce of witnesses. . B was subdivided into spaces about I¥x37 inches apart, and two ounces of - seed was planted, the seed having " been carefully weighed,. the grains mtad, and the ground spaced so as 1o take but one seed in each place. . It was then irrigated and cultivated ; No'w for the result as harvested in the latter part of September. The ' mumaber of heads per stool was from

{ © to 718 well-developed heads. I | send you a sample étdol, one of many from the plat,- which contained 135 ' Seeads, 118 of which were fully developed. The number of grains per ~ Lead in this stool was eighty. Over . wne-half yielded 100 grains each. Ow- ' %mg toan accident Mr. Bissell failed %o get the accurate weight or measnrmﬁ; but making all due allowunce for that wasted the yield was ~ ten bushels, or at the rate of eighty bushels per acre, forty more than the - proposition called for. : Now compare the above result with am average crop sown broadeast. [ =m assured that the average number «f heads per stool in an average field «f wikeat, sown broadcast, is not over &iwe of forty grains each, which would ‘e Jess than thirty-three bushels per acre, if all the seed grew. What be- ~ comes of theseed ? In the field where kis plant grew, there wassoewn broad-

cast at about the same time 100 acres. It was irrigated, as was the other, and

harvested at the same time. It was _put in good shape, had the best of care, and at an expense of $3OO for sead alone. The yield was not over twenty bushels per acre, or 2,000 bush«ls for the cﬁi’op. Mr. Bissell informs me; that be will plant thirty-five or —ﬁ ‘acres mext spring, using the | ster and cultivator instead of the broadcast sower. The facts I kave given can be well attested, if desired. Should any farther informatign be wished it will be furnished by sddressing D. O. Bissell, Willow

Banch, Modoc| county, California. I have written the above facts in ~ %he iaterest of the agricuturists of

»try, have been thus particuS 1y o lar in details, hoping others may be ‘stimulated thereby. to profit by the information given. - To the Grangers I would say, make this method of grain-raising the subject of discussion in your lodges and trial on yourfarms. A few successful trials, such as witnessed by the writer, would revolutionize the mode of grain-growing in ‘this country and remove from the farmer the heavy. burden of annually j providing 100 to 150 poundsof seed per “acre for his crop when one and a half to two pounds, allowing for, wastage in planting, would be’all that need be required. With such asystem how soon the mortgages would De lifted from the farms—the incubus of debt crushing the farmer into the soil he cultivates; how soon it would be abolished! = - GRANGER.

PROF. TYNDALI’S WARNING

In concluding-an address to the students of University College (London) | Prof. Tyndall, who is unquestionably one of the most indefatigable. brain workers of our century, said, “take care of your health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman in a rotten boat; what cin he do there but by the very force of his stroke .expedite the ruin of his craft. TTPake care of the timbers of your boat.” The distinguished scientist’s advice is equally valuable to all. workers. We are apt to devote all our enérgies to wielding the oars, our strokes fall firm and fast, but few of us examine or even. think of the condition of: our boats until the broken or rotten timber suddenly’ gives way and we find oursel;ves the victims .of a calamity whic}i{gcould have been easily avoided by a ljttle forethought. What began with a slight fracture, or perhaps even a careless exposure to the disorganizing influences, eénds in the .complete wreck of the life-boat. The disease which began. with a slight ‘headache or an undue exposure to'cold terminates in death, unless its progress be checked, -and the " disease remedied. The first symptoms, the heralds of diseases, give no indication of the strength of the on-coming foe,: and the viectim trusts that his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the invader. But Disease “is an 'old general and accomplishes his ‘most, important movements in the night-time, and some bright morning finds him in possession of one of the strongest fortifications; and when he has once gained a stronghold in the system Naturg ignominiously turns traitor and secretly delivers up the whole physical armory to.the invader. Like the wily politician, Nature is always on the strongest side, and the only way to insure her supportis to keep your vital powers in the ascendant. Xeep yvour strongest forts—the stomach and liver—well guarded. Do not let the foe enter the arterial highways, for he will steal or destroy your richest merchandisg-and impoverish your kingdorx%. To repulse the attacks -of the foe you can find no better am-: munition than' Dr. Pierce’s Family| Medicines. (Full directions accompany each package.) - IHis Pleasant Purgative Pellets are especially effective in defending the stomach and liv‘er. His Golden Medical Discovery for purifying the blood - and arresting coughs and colds. 1f you wish to become familiar with the most approved system of defensein this warfgre, and the history of the foe’s method of invasion, together with complete instructions for keeping your forces.in ‘martial order in time of peace, you can find no better manual of these tactics than “The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” by R."V.Pierce, M: :D., of the World’s Dispensary, Buffalo, N.Y.

On the night of Oct. 10, before the votes : which elected Blue Jeans Williams Governor of Indiana were fairly settled in the ballot boxes, Morton set out from Indianapolis “to study up the Chinese question” on the Pacific slope. That was a curious study for a politician of Morton’s temperament during the heat of a Presidential campaign, in the result of which his own political fortunes.:and those of his party were deeply invelved. Little or nothing was heard of Morton till the meeting of the Senate in December; but, much to the surprise of the Democrats, what had been lost to tlig Res publicans in Indiana was made good in the Pacific States. 'San Francisco correspondence now asserts that 18,000 illegal votes were-polled in that city on the 7th of November, whereof it is claimed that 7,000 or 8,000 were fraudulently cast by repeaters. A good many fraudulent voters were imported into Indiana-shortly before the October election; and Morton boasts of the scheme under which he can lose the State of Indiana by ten thousand votes and still save the Congressional delegation, as ‘he did in. November last.” It is a pity if he has transplanted any of his peculiar political methods to the western side of the Rocky Mountains. . :

Central Com‘mittee at a recent meetixﬁg agreed to fix the basis of representation in the next convention at one delegate for every 200 votes cast at the last State election, and one for every fraction over 100.

The residence of J..Swartzenroover, of Lagrange county, was destroyed by fire on the 13th of February. - Loss, $4OO. Immediately his Omish friends rushed to his relief; some collected ‘money, elothing and bedding for the family; others went to the woods to cut timber and saw-logs; the logs were immediately drawn to the mill and manufactured into lumber, and a set of carpenters set to work to build anather house. .The result was that in four days after the fire a house was raised, enclosed and roofed, and at the end of another week the family of the destitute brother was all right again, andin a new house. There’s christian charity for you.. The Newport Hoosier State relates the -following remarkable incident: “Last weéek, ‘while J. H. Arrasmith;, residing five miles west of town, was making rails, he split open an oak log which would measure about two feet at the butt, and-in the centre of which was found a live frog in a little doted spot of the heart, barely large enough for him to rest his weary frame. His little cell was about six feet from the ground, and the tree was perfectly sound with the exception of this little spot where he was found, which was no larger than his size. It is calculated from the growth of the tree that he has not seen daylight during the last sixty years.” 5 "‘Another rather sensational defalcation has come to light at Thdianapolis. Richard Vint, cashier of the Singer Sewing Machine Agency in that city, was arrested last Sunday, on charge of embezzlement. He has made full confession, stating that he had been stealing for nearly five years, and that he had taken probably $15,000. He had fall control of the books and papers of the agency, and his peculations were hidden’ by means of false entries; | Some five weeks since the agency changed- hands, and it was in settling the accounts of the old agent that the frauds were discovered. The matter was carefully worked up, and when Vint was arrested he had completed arrangements to leave the city Sunday night, having suspicions that his crime had been detected and thaf he was being watched. S Last Thursday morning the body of Col. Wade, postmaster of South Bend, was discovered in the Kankakee, some ten-miles from the city. = His boat, rubber boots, overcoat and gun were found floating on the water the previous evening. Col. A. B, Wade was about thirty-six years old, as we learn from a South Bend dispatch, and served with distinetion in the army until captured and thrown into Libby Prison, where he was kept about eighteen monfhs. When released it was with impaired health, which unfitted him for the practice of his profession, and he was appointed postmaster in 1868. lle subsequently became extensively known to the postmasters of the country through the authorship and publication of a double index-book for keeping post office acecounts, which greatly simplified the labor. He was quite fond of hunting and fishing and found it beneficial ‘to his health. His private life was such that he possessed strong friendships without enemies. A ‘report reaches us from Goshen, which if true, furnishes a sequel to: the finding of Joseph Berget’s bedy in the-canal in or near that city, shortly after the democrati¢ rally on the 7th of October. Witliout mentioning any names, ‘it is said that a young man and worhan were seeking a sequestered place on the night of Berget’s disappearance, and were followed by him while in a maudlin condition, until becoming exasperated the young man turned and hurled a stone, hitting the unfortunate man on the head ‘and knocking him senseless. To make sure that he would not repeat his offense another blow was' dealt him, when to the horror of the guilty couple they found the spaik of life had taken its flight from the body of the ‘assailed. To hide the evidence of their guilt, together they dragged the inanimate form to the canal, .and plunged it into the water. And pershaps their secret would have remained hidden until the judgment day had not the girl’s consciénce hecome quickened by recent religious experience, - It is said she has made a clean breast of the matter, and is wiling to testify against her companion in guilt, who since th® crime was committed has énlisted as a soldier in the United States army. We do not vouch for the authenticity of this narrative, but give it to our readers as it was given to- us, as a rumor, that is whispered with bated breath by the citizens of Goshen.—Elkhart Review.
