The Farm and Rousehold. Cows pastured on rye will fatten and give a greater quantity of milk than they will when pastured on the wild range or fed corn in the ear.— Even in winter the butter has a nice golden color:and sells well. If sown early on well prepared land rye will afford more pasturage to the acre during fall, winter and spring than blue grass or timothy. Rye pasture is cheaper and easier to be had in winter than root crops, and grows faster in the early spring than the usual pasture grasses.

THE CABBAGE WORM.—AS this is the season in which farmers and market gardeners are particularly annoyed by the cabbage worm, the following recipe for their complete extermination will be found to be very valuable: “Thoroughly mix twenty parts of superphosphate of lime, one part ofcarbolic powder, and three parts of fresh air-slaked lime. Throw a small'quantity of the compound by hand into each head of cabbage. . Repeat three or four times or oftener if necessary.” By this simple remedy Prof. Quinn claims to have saved ninety-five per centage of his cabbage. ,

DARK STABLES.—It is an established fact that dark stables tend to produce blindness to animals. A veterinNary surgeonsays: “Daﬂmess produces blindness, because nature is outraged in the fact that the sight of the eye is destroyed by want of light to present objects properly to the vision, and _thus, by continued inactivity, producéing blindness. Even 8o is blindness, or imperfect vision, produced by an ever-action of light upon the retina of the eye, as is always the case when light is admitted by a windowdirectly in front of the’ horse. Nothing is worse than this light 6 admitted. Nature is outraged, and as a penalty we have necrvous; fretful horses, shyers, cribbers, balkers, runaways, and anything but a reliable pleasant horse.”

To INCREASE THE FLOW OF MILK. ~— A southern lady says: “Tepid water, slightly salted, given twice a.day, will. increase the flow of milk onethird; if the cow will not drink it at first trial, scatter a handful of bran or meal over the top of it. They will soon- bécome very fond of it, and will drink all you give them. I tried this plan three years ago with perfect success. I had only one cow, and she was of+theé common scrub .stock of the country, and after,she began to drink the water prepared as above, she fur--mished me twice a day two ordinary ‘'water buckets full of milk, and by feéding a little corn boiled with. cotton - seed, the milk yielded butter enough to supply my table bountifully; and leave me a few pounds to sell every \week. I gave her three gallons of water twice a day.” . Gt e

SoME of our agricultural exchanges -are urging upon farmers to. extend ' the area of their grain fields on account of the war in Europel We are ready to acquiesce in the probable increase in' price that grain will command should there be a general war in Europe, but most of us can remember that an increased price did not follow the great war in the Crimea, with Rus--sia on_one side and Turkey, England, France and Sardinia on theother. The men composing the great armies of Europe in time of peace are non-pro-;ducers and must be fed as they are now, with this difference—that intime 0f war the numerical force Jis'liargely increased; but as a compensative fact we must bear in mind the number of _mouths that will certainly be closed in death. “

To HARDEN BUTTER.—A method in practice among the best butter makers in England for rendering butter firm and seolid during hot weather is as follows: . Carbonate of soda alum are used for the purpose, made into powder, For 20 pounds of butter one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda and one teaspoonful of powdered alum are mingled together at the time of churning, and put into the eream. The effect of thig powder is to make the butter come firm and solid, and to give it a clean, sweet flavor. It w not enter into the butter, but its a&#on is upon the cream, and it passes off with the buttermilk. The ingredients. of the powder should not be mingled together until required to be used, or at the time the cream is in the churn ready for churning, . ° e

" CHICKEN CHOLERA.—The Poullry - World advises ‘that “when you see a “chicken a little droopy and its comb getting dark, remove it at onceand doctor it for cholera; its discharges are green, and if allowed to run loose wo’d spread the disease. - As a preventive, "I use a handful of salt twice a week in a wash-basin full of bran’ mixed with a little meal, and thrbe times a week give corn on which at night pour - & little coal oil, just enough to coat " every grain and more. My neighbors all around have been losing their chickens, both young andold, and I’ve

lost ,but one, and that was one of my | imported Brahmas; she was affected 80 differently from other cases I have seen that she died before I knew it - was cholera; none have died since. Clean out your chicken houses, whitewash them and scatter carbolic acid . around.” : ' . Yovna TREES~Young jrees meet . with their greatest trial in July and “August, and some that made no . growth early in the seagon will require - great care to save them. As a general thing it does but little good to water trees that seem to beat a stand_still; with but little foliage, there is slight demand upon the roots; a - muleh, to retain the moisture of the . soil, will answer much hetter than nwiﬁ ering; it the surface il be kept light-and mellow by trequent stirring, . helpsja languishing tree to protect its | trunk or stem from thio scorching effects of the sun. _ This may be done it; by placing & bpndful of straight e e

straw against the sunny side and fastening it there with a string or wisp; or by a wooden shield, made by tacking two thin boards together to form a V trough, which is set against the tree. g .

MILKING BY MACHINERY.—Hard labor is gradually being superseded by ‘machinery in nearly every branch of industry. It is curious to mark the unlikely uses to-which machinery may be applied. An ingenious inventorin the United States has recently patented a useful device in the shape of a cow-milking machine, which,it is said, will do all that can be done by hand, faster and-easier, and will be of special service where cows have sore teats or are hard milkers. The apparatus consists essentially of a glass globe, large enough to hold an average yield of milk, which is connected by means of a flexible tube with an air pipe. Rising from the top of the globe are small pipes with metal tips. The mode of operation consists in suspending the globe underneath the animal to be milked, and inserting the tips of the small pipes into the teats. A partial vacuumis then effected inside the globe by means of the air pump, and the milk -thus drawn forth, The advantages claimed by the invention are that it prevents any loss of milk through spilling, -it renders milk or straining pails unnecessary, and prevents entrance of dirt. Finally, it can be easily manipulated by anybody. b

. Hoe CHOLERA.—Wedo not pretend that the cholera, when once firmly seated, can be cured, but we positively affirm that if prompt measures are taken when the disease first appears in the herd, a large majority of the hogs can besaved. Wesay hogs, knowing that young pigs, when taken sick from any cause, can only be saved by a miracle. As soon as the disease shows itself in the herd, attention to thefollowing particulars is imperatively necessary: - et b . 1. Remove thesick animals from the pen to comfortable quarters, and provide the herd with fresh bedding and ample protection fromﬁhé’wea.ﬂfer. 4 2. Avoid feeding corh in any form. Feed the sick animals: with milk exclusively, or milk mixed with a little middlings, ground oats or rye. If the food can be cooked, so much the better. 8. Let the entire’herd have access to pure water, and keep constantly in the yard a pile of charcoal and ashes. : 4, Keep in mind constantly this general truth: the hog is a cleanly brute which enjoys and pays for clean quarters, and especially his nature, no less than a man’s, demands a proper supply of nitrogenous foods. b Only a weekago we heard a careful farmer and well known Berkshire breeder assert that after much experience, he has no longer any dread of the hog cholera, for he could cure it with new milk.—Professor Shelton.

PEAR BrigHT.—Here is one of the latest “remedies” -for pear blight: “As soon as Ldiscover the leaves turning dark, a correspondent says, I take a penknife and slit through the outer bark on all the limbs as high as I can reach, and thus down the trunk. The first time I tried this remedy was ten years ago? Every limb recovered, and I have repeated itas often as any ‘ limbs have been affected. My trees dre fine and healthy now. The theory is, poison sap escapes where the slit is made; but the slits must be made as ‘goon_as there is any appearance of blight.” Probably a hundred remedies for this disease in pear treeshave been - published, within the last five years, without one of them proving to be real remedies in different soils and localities; and it now seems to be useless to publish any of them, as pear growers ‘generally have come to the conclusion that the cause of the disease has not yet been discovered. One writer says that his trees growing ina grass sward have never been attacked with blight, while another says his trees in grass grounds are as much diseased as those grown on cultivated land. Then others claim that trees in undrained lands, where the water does not soon disappear after heavy rains, are most subject to blight, while others say their trees in dry soils suffer most from it. Again,some claim heavy. manuring will produce this disease. With me this disease was thoroughly eradicated by cutting away the diseased portions of the trees, as soon as it became evident that the parts affected would. die, and allowing new trunks or stems to shoot up just above where the trees were grafted. This wasdone the first and second year after the trees were set (1873—4) and since that ‘time no trees have been diseased. I allowed two and three trunks to grow to each, tree, to be sure of saving ‘them, and they now are all in a very ‘flourishing condition. This proves, as far as this experiment was made, that cutting away thetrunks of diseased trees at the proper time will save them without deforming them,.ag the } two or three trunks now to each do not detract from the beauty of the | trees, as grown on my grounds. One trunk, however, would have been safe; but I see no reason why those with several will not bear as much fruit as those with one trunk, - .

Now and then we are aroused by hearing that some low, degraded, unmanly, heartless, damnable individual, whose name is libertine, has, by his disguised appearance, succeeded in destroying the charaeter of some noble, well-meaning young woman. The -world is full of such characters and it behooves every one who has an admiration for purity to warn young people of these snares. You can not be too strenuous with such debased rascals. They stand at the door and walk the street, seeking whom they may devour. An eminent divine speaks thus of the romance of libertinism: *Society has severest retribution for the impurity that. lurks about the cellars and alleys of the city. It cries out against it. It hurls the indignation of the law at it. But society becomes more lenient as impurity rises toward affluence and high social position, until finally. it is silent or disposed to palliate. Where is the judge, or the sheriff, or the police, who dare arraign for indecency the wealthy villain? May he not walk the streets, and ride the parks, and sail the g_teag)ers, flaunting his vices in the eyes of the pure ? Does not the vile hag of uncleanliness look out from tapestried window, and walk richest carpet, and rustle finest silk, and roll in most sumptuous carriage ? but wheére is the law to take these brazen wretches of “high life” and put their faces in the iron frame of the State prison window. . Let it be known that uncleanliness on Madison Square is as damnable in the sight of God as the uncleanliness of the Five Points.”. The sooner men and women of unspotted character begin a gigantic warfare against this evil which is stalking through the land the better. Modern society needs purification in many places. - [ There are.a few men in this world who still believe the world to be flat, and all the intellect of America could. not change their opinion. I. A.

FRrIEND STOLL:—I will endeavor to fulfill my promise by writing you a short communication. * * * * ‘There is no very grand scenery here: except the wide expanse of water, a good view of which can be obtained if the tourist will take the pains to asc¢end what is known as ““Hoosier Slide,” one of the most notable of the many sand hills surrounding the city. ~ On windy days the sand drifts as badly as snow .in the winter, which fact is fully attested when you partake of your daily allowance of feod by finding everything full of sand. On such days a person is liable to get eyes, nose and mouth full of sand, which accounts for the grittiness of our people. Michigan City is a place of some six thousand inhabitants. It'is well laid out, the streets being wide and shaded on either side with' rows of beautiful trees, which, at this time of year, look inviting, and take it all in all would be a nice place to live in were it not for the frequent sand gtorms. = ¢ e ‘

The prison is located about 114 miles from the business portion of the town, and is a magnificent strueture, and well worth the trouble of a visit to those who have never seen such an institution, (provided they visit it in such a way that they can leave whenever they choose to.) There are eight acres enclosed:by a brick wall twentyeight feet high and three feet in thickness, with a circular tower of stone at each corner for the use of thée watchmen. The shops and buildings are all within the enclosure. The prisoners are taken to the shops in the morning by a.guard, whose duty it is to watch them through the day, @n& at night make them secure by lacking them up. The men are well clothed and fed, and are preached to regularly every Sunday. Those who do not go to church fail to get any dinner, and there being almost 700 convicts, there is generally a pretty good congregation.

When times . Were prosperous it was easy enough to .obtain ten per cent. on all the money they could loan.

I did so, and he commenced healing up my sores and succeeded in effecting an external cure, but in a short time the diseasc appeared againin a worse form than ever, as cancerous humor upon my lungs, throat and head.
