Lixe axp WHITEWASH. A~ Lime and whitewash are at all times advantageous to bealth and property, but more especially to the former in times of general sickness of an epidemic natare. Nothing is so well calculated to prevest or, drive out contagious and snfections diseases, than a free and ¥iveral useof lime and whitewash. We hope our citizens will use it plentiful- ¥ about their houses and premises during the approaching warm season, and thus ward off disease. Besides beimg 2 purifier, whitewash is also a Beamtifier, as neatly whitewashed fences are:very attractive and pleasit 30 look upon. Let it be used-with 2 lavish hand. ) o

~ ExpicaTioNs oF A GooD BUTTER ‘Pow.—lt is said that the color of the imside of the cow’s ears affords an in- . effable guide to the selection of agood butter cow. If the skin on the inside of !\heear is of a rich yellow ororange . woler and the lining of the ear is cov- . - =red with an oily seeretion, the cow \) will be sare to give a good quality of - milk, rich in butter. Cows that pro- ' dude a high colored butter have a ~ iarege amount of the secretion, the in_sidle of the ear being 'of an orange _limt. On the other hand, light-colored

butter makers present-a seanty, thin snd pale }ellgw secretion, in some % found only at the bottom of the ‘gh¥ while the inside lining is of.a correspondingly pale, undefined color. Every female of the bovine family has the power of ‘secrefing a certain amount of this!oily matter. If the guantity be normally large, secretion will take place freely in the mammery glands, the ear and the skin. As ‘the test is simple and costs nothing, it ‘canmot fail to prove a useful auxiliary %o the dairyman and farmer in ‘their selpciion of rich milkers.

+ THE POTATO AND THE BEETLE— A% the present writing, indications . are that farmers cultivate but small ), acres In potatoes the present season. . The dread of the potato beetle is at -the bottom, and hence a few words of waiming wxll not be inopportune. g PA small crop means high prices; - comsequently, if the majority,of farmezs cease to grow the potato, the farmers who do.succeed in getting a crop, will reap the benefit from the scarcity, The potato beetle is no great hind- * zamee to the growing of potatoes, but “only an everlasting bother. The geod farmer will use Paris Green, and an expenditare here in preserving the «rop, will be amply repaid\%by the in- ~ creased price, which will follow a diminution in the culture. - A - Then, let tahosc?mparties who Have potato land, and who havethemselves Ihe determination to thoroughly pro-. tect their crops from the beetle, confidently continue in potato cultivation, and hope for satisfactory prices for . theirproduct. Let those farmers, how€ver, who are too careless to protect 'their crop, see to it, that they do not embark on a losing venture. The wise . few are bound to profit by the acts of

MaxTURE FOR PEAR TREEs.—A disTinguished fruit-grower in lowa writes *ﬂthfxt\!mee( to the application of ¥and manure to péar trees: “You fear %o apply manure, expecting an unripe, watery and tender growth, with poorIy flavored fruit. From many years expérienee'_with the use of manure as mulch, I know that these evil effects are not produced. While our winters are far more severe than yours, I find ike pear tree more hardy than any apple tree I have tested. Give the pear the good, thick, dark green, heavy foliage, and every twig ripens to its tip. While on the contrary, with blight-stricken limbs in the heighth of Jume gvewth, speckled, blotchy Jeaves, and eonsequent unripe, unbealthy sap, the free is ready to succamb o winter if it does not die before. Te illustrate more clearly the efiect of my mode of treatment, I send « vomgh sketch of the kind of roots formed by pear trees grown by this method as contrasted with those by ibe ordinary method, the former being well branched with numerous fibers wr mootlets near the surface of the =round, while the latter have only a few Goarse prongs, without fibers, except deep in the ground.. This, to my mind, explains the why and wh&bjrefore wof kealth or disease in pear trees.”

' NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT.—MTr. Z, M. Carr, of Springfield township, re- - w¢ntly brought a small sack of wheat 70 the office of the Lagrange Standard ¥or exhibition to all who may desire foseeit. Itis sofar as he knows, a mew wariety, a hybrid, probably. He found, four years ago, while stacking whest for a neighbor, a head which attracted his attention, having an envirely different appearance from all the rest. He sfelled out the head, and the mext year planted the seed, and © the next year sowed the product, the ‘mext, year the product of that, andlast ~ year, the fourth planting, he sowed four acres of the variety and reaped 120 bushels, or 30 bushels to the acre.

He asserts that the disease is caused by animal parasites, which he' names acanthracephala, or thornhead worms. The special family found in the hog is the echinorhyus giga. Its head is erowned with a double row of hooklets, which are so small as to require a high magnifying power to see them. - The head is very small and elastig; and is thrust dinto the soft-in-testinal wall, where it fastens itself by its hooks, growing larger and going" deeper each day, and finally causing ‘rupture, or inflammtaion of the intestine. The inside of the female. worm is filled with eggs, which like tape worm eggs, do not hateh in the intestinal canal of the host, but pass out and go through some alteration of generation, perha‘ps in water or upon vegetable matter before. entering the hog again, (through its food,) to become once more a mature sexual worm. The doctor thinks there is no remedy when the parasite has once fastened itself, the only treatment being preventive by cleanliness axiae.,, by thoroughly cooking all food for hogs, after being sure that the stock is free from worms. Ile adds, the great missing link now to be investigated, is the development of the egg and its various forms after it leaves the body of one hog until it enters another. This investigation will require study and ex- - periment among the diseased animals upon the farm and not in the. private Jaboratory, and he suggests that. Purdue University or the State Board of Agriculture take hold of the matter. A cut illustrating the shape and peculiarities of the parasite accompanies the dobtor's paper. : 7

STICK TO FARMING! 1t is; the mostfliealth‘t:ul and Inde’bendent of all ‘ Occapations, - - ° (Editorial in the quianapohs Journmal.) . - In times like these, when nearly all the trades and professions are full to overflowing, and when thousands .of men are casting about for the means of livelihood, it is gratifying to reflect that there is at least one pursuit, and that the most important of all, whicli cannot be overdone and which holds out the prospect of honorable independence if mot-competence to all who engage in it. We mean farming.' “As agriculture lies at the basis of all other industries and of the national pros-; perity, so, fortunately, it is the least affected by the fluctuations of finance and the pressure of hard times. "It would not be true to'say it is-not affected at all, but it is undoubtedly less affected than those classes of business which are conducted more on a credit Dbasis, and whicli depend more on general confidence and reciprocity. Farmers are apt to imagine that they feel hard times 4s much as business men, and thas they carry their-full share if not more t;h‘an their share of the burdens incident to such times. This is not true. No elass in community suffer as little from financial depression, or are, as a general rule, in as good shape to weather it. And this leads us to repeat that while most other trades and professions are tuli to overflowing, agriculture offérs the same advantage it always has done, the same assurance of an honorable liveli-| hood and of ample-returns for intelligent and persevering industry. The wealth of the country lies in the soil’ and must be dug out of it, Here are the mines which, properly worked, are to bring about an era of general prosperity, to 'set our mills running, our gpindles humming, and tlie wheels of commerce moving with their old alacrity.” Agriculture is the corner stone of the nation’s wealth and prosperity, and to all those who will pursue it steadily, intelligently and persistently it offers rewards unsurpassed by those of any other business. Merchants, ‘manufacturers, bankers and business men work harder than farmers, have much more care, and in the long run fewer of them succeed in attaining a competence. It is susceptibie of easy proof that farming is not only the most healthful and independent of all occupations, but is in the main and in the long run: the most profitable. It is a national misfortune that so many men should -haye withdrawn from this profitable and productive branch of industry to'engage in others more attractive in sé@»me respects, but less cerfain in their results, and less contributive -to the national wealth. If the Journal could reach every farmer and every farmer’s son in the United States. it would say to them, stick.to your farms, and resolutely close your eyes and ears to the seductions of city life. And if it could reach every unemployed. in the- towns. and cities, it ‘would say, go upon a farm, or get a little piece of ground, if possible, and become . one: of the wealth-producers of the nation. - a 3 R . Regular Seeretion Essential to o e AR The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, aud of the bile which the use of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters promotes.are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health, when the system is disordered.” Food 1s not digested in the dyspeptic stomach because the gastric fluid is deficient, superabundant or vitiated ;— the liver becomes congested and the bowels constipated: because the supply of the bile is inadequate or misdirected.

“+ Wheat from India. _ It may startle some of our readers who have been accustomed to think of ‘lndj:}l as a land of forever-recurring famine, to learn that the Indian export of wheat to England promises at no distant day to make that peninsular continent a formidable rival with our own great West in the English markets. Yet such isthe fact. Since Lord Northbrook took off the foolish export duty on grain from India the grain trade from India’to England 'has risen from: 144,441 cwt;.iilp 1871 to 3,279,887 cwt. in 1876. - Meanwhile the export from Russia to England has been falling, and India last year sent to England one-third as much grain as Russia and one-sixth as much as the United States. India now stands third in the list of the countries which supply £ngland with grain. The bearing which this is likely to have on England’s final verdiet ds|to her real interest in the Kastern question is obvious enough.—N. ¥. World.

“The Elkhart Review gives the following freak of nature, thatisnow on exhibition in that city: There is on exhibition in the room lately vacated by Phil Christman, a wonderful freak of nature. It is a boy, the son of full blooded negro parepts, whose body is white and black, the white predominating. There are on his face two white spots, on the top of his head a spot of .white scalp covered with white hair, curly as any negro’s, and his body is varigated. On the breast the white predominates, but on the back there is more black. His legs are spotted near the thighs, but mostly white to the feet, which are black.

Christian Era. There never has heen a time when the healing of so many different diseases has|been caused by outward application as the present. It isan undisputed fact that over half of the ‘entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters. Dr. Mrnvin’s CarsiouM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. -All other plasters are slow of irction, and require to be worn cnmjauu]ly&o effect a cure: but with these it is entirely different: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect. Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum ; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is- only of very recent date that its advantages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MEeLvIN’S Capstoum Porous PrasTtigrs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they how actu‘ally prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and-all such cases as-have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plasters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your d-uggist for Dr. MELvIN's Carstoum Porous PrasTER. You can hardl believe your own convictions of its wonderful et}: fects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you cdn rely on its safety for the .mosi delicate person to ‘wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manux facture of ordinary plasters.
