* VALUE oF FruUIT AS Foop.~ At a convention of fruit growers of Ohio, Mr. Bateman, the well-known horticnlturist, said that farmers and oth‘ers, especially those having families of children, would find great advantage in tha matter of health by using fruit as a part of every meal, at all times of the year. Mr. B, said he had tried this ‘plan for many years with alarge family, and knew from experience that nearly all the cases of derangement of health by the use of fruit in summer ‘were attributable to its irregular use, He also believed that a more constant and plentiful use of fruit would be found useful as a preventive of the malarial fevers so common in the west. Farmers_should grow more kinds: of summer fruits, so as to have a constant succession for the table; more grapes, where they can be grofyvn, and more and better varieties of apples in their orchards. ek :

~ BAVING A HORSE~ltisnow argued “that it is unnecessary to kill broken legged “horses, and a case in i)oint is stated: Twelve weeks ago the nigh hind leg was hroken of Mr. William’s : valuable and favorite mare, in Utica, by akick from another horse. The fracture was half way between the fetlock and gambrel joints, and was complete. = A veferinary surgeon undertook to set the leg. A canvass sling. was arranged, and the ;ilare suspended in it in such a way that she “could occasionally rest upon her uninjué@d limbs. The fractured leg was -th n set, bound with hickory and leather splints, with heavy leather boot eutside of all. Themare did well,and never -missed a meal. After three weeks a plaster of Paris bandage was. _Substituted, and in seven weeks “Nellie” “was walking around the stable. ~‘There was no sign of the fracture, and it is thought, that she will keep her 3:40 gait. ¢ ; i

- TurNips.— Every. farmer should - havehis patch of turnips. New ground 1 lately cleared of the forest is best for ' _them, as it has but few weeds. . But ' almost any ground, freshly plowed, dand the seed sown just before a rain, + will give a good yield, says Colman’s Rural World: If theground is allowed to lay some time after plowing, the weeds will get such a start that the turnips will get smothered and will not amount to much. Turnips ¢ ‘can be kept in good condition oyer ~ winter by being pulled and put in - small ‘heaps and well covered with ~ soil. Thgy donot keep well in a cellar, unless covered with fresh earth to keep off the air. Most kinds of stock eat turnips with avidity and - benefit. It being a crop so easily produced, every farmer ought to get his ;eedand sow itatonce. Itisa healthul article of food, and it is an important adjunct to the table, especially ~ when potatoes are scarce. po ok

- How MuoH SEED-WHEAT TO THE ACRE?—A practical Ohio farmer, in writing on this subject, says: I have been investigating the question of how much seed wheat should be sown to the acre, and I find the best authorities, and also some facts that are apparent, favor tess seed than is usually sown. I have been counting grains in ‘heads of wheat, and I find that well-developed heads contain forty grains each. Taking' this fact as a _starting point, it is plain that if we sow one bushel to the acte, and each '~ grain sown produces a single head, " (and of course no grain can produce less,) the yield would be forty-fold, or forty bushels peracre. Now, the larg- . est average yield for the stalk ever grown. was a little less than fifteen and a half bushels, and the average yield for fifteen years eleven bushels. _ As the practice of most, farmers is to sow from five o six pecks fihi:r acre, it _ would appear from this that we only et onb: bead of wheat from overy - will stool and produce several sced «fiéw*‘“ffia?%*w%wmaw

sown in too many instances a large @mmfi?éo?)t i'g@es not grow at‘tg Some of it is not covered deep enough, and perishes for lack of moisture.— Some more drops into cavities in the 80il and is covered too deep, and if it comes 'atragl is feeble and perishes.— ‘Much more finds no nourishment in the ill-prepared soil that it comes in ‘contact with, and, according to the Darwinian theorylof the “survival of the fittest,” 'yields its place to the ‘stronger, and so from natural causes the thinning process goes on. lam indebted to Mr. Henry Coleman for ‘the fdllowing facts, which were the result of experiments made in England. | Hesays: “I have counted nine-ty-five seed-bearing stems from a single grain of ‘wheat, and a farmer named King; at Eastbourne, produced over one hundred perfect ears from a single grain.” He says further:— “Among the many proofs I have had of the advantages of thin sowing is the following: I sent out my drill to an eight-acre field, with seven bushels of wheat to be sown; but owing to an error of the drill man in setting the drill, he found when he had sown half the field that he had used but a little over two pecks to the acre. But ‘not wishing to bring back part of the' seed, ‘and thus let me know of the mistake, he set his drill for five pecks to the acre, and so sowed the rest. of the field. I-did not know of the error, but noticed during the winter that part of the field was very thin; but at harvest the thin Jsown half proved to be the best, and then the drill man acknowledged his mistake.” In a work on European agriculture I find an account of wheat, being planted by dibbling -a single grain in a place six by nine inches apart, using six quarts to the acre, and a very heavy crop was grown. + Mr. Coleman adds: “After the most careful and fullest investigation I have adoped. three pecks of sead-wheat per acre as the quantity which gives me the best crops, and I am convinced that with soil prepared as it ought to be, all sown above this quantity is not only wasted, butis'a positive injury.” By examining the statistics of Ohie, I find that we have grown over two million acres of wheat in a single year, and if with a positive advantage to the crop of a half a'bushel of seed per acre can be saved, it would amount to one million bushels to the farmers of our State alone. I doubt whether one farmer in fifty among our readers has tested this matter so as to be able to tell what amount of seed will give the best result. I am also sure that the matter is of sufficient importance for us to| spend some time and labor in testing it, and I propose to set apart a few acres of land to experiment on, and will try different amounts of seed gow e - kL

Jay Gould got badly scared over the strike, and is reported as saying: “We were on the eve of a great socialistic revolution, which would end in our having a monarcléy, and that he would give one million dellars if Grant was in the White House to-day.” Grant could hardly have done better than Hayes did in the unlooked for emergeney.

Beware of Wire Clothes-Line FPedg .. T Crawfordsyile Journal, ] Look out for swindlers who are going about over the country making agents for the introduction of a wire clothes-line. They will not try to sell you any, but will ask the privilege to send you a hundred feet that you may put it up in your yard that your neighbors may see it and learn of its utility; then when they get your consent, will get you to sign a piece of paper giving shipping directions. Then after you have done this, they say it will cost them no more to send you 1,500 or 2.000 feet than the 100 which they have proposed to give for the privileges granted. This wire you may sell to your neighbors provided they should desire any. On all wire sold you may retain a commission. If, when they come around again the wirsis not sold, they will take it off your hands.. Now this shipping statement will undergo a slight change, and when you have received the wire not many days thereafter another man will come around with a bill of sale and demand payment for goodsreceived. These scoundrels find many vietims throughout the country. ;

I feel that lam asindustrious, as temperate -and as moral as he is. But a reduction of ten per cent. in his income (or of ninety per cent. I might say) would not hurt him as much as a reduction of ten percent. of mine does me. In obedience to thel divine injunction to increase and multiply, I took to wife several years ago a. hardworking woman. Sheisnow an invalid, and I have also five children to support and educate,and an aged mother to keep out of the poor house.,”— And yet for this man, sick wife, feeble mother and these children bread and water, “the food of affiictxon,‘;fi' is good enough, and if they are not content therewith, bayonets and cannon balls ;vil%l effectually hush their cries for ood. : : %

THE famine in India, as reported in London, certainly gets more terrible every day. There seems now to be a second period of famine settling down over the coun]&ry, and suffering almost beyond belief is resulting. Hundreds and thousands of persons are starving to death, nearly all animals have died, and the stench frem unburied,decaying bodies fills the air for miles. Suicides are rapidly Efiultiplying, especially by drowning. Men and women, crazed by hunger and by witnessing the sufferings cf their families, rush to the nearest river or stream, lie down on the bank and deliberately roll into the water, or else deliberately wade far into the current, and then, with a scream of frenzy and despair, abandon themselves to the tide. Widespread epidéemics will assuredly follow the prolonged famine, and thus the dread mortality among the people of India will be increased. :

‘SENATOR LAMAR hit the nail upon the head and spoke to the purpose when he told the Democrats of Mississippi that “questions of tariff, trade, commerce, currency and transportation” were the coming questions of the day -in this country. In saying this the eloquent Mississippi Senator spoke not for himself nor for his own State, nor for his own section only, but for the vast majority of sensible and patriotic Americans in all parts of the Union.—Wortd. 2 f=

THE order of the government prohibiting the sale of arms or ammunition to Indians is a tardy exhibition of common sense. ‘For years past they have been furnished by traders with all the arms and ammunition they wanted, and when trouble came have always been found to be well supplied with arms of the most approved pattern. This has been permitted under the plea of furnishing them the means of proeuring a living by hunting, but experience has shown it to be a very mistaken policy, and the government has done well in putting a stop to it. . i

THE New York Mercantile Journal computes the bill Pittsburg will have to pay for the late riot at $4,500,000. “The assessed valuation of Pittsburg -“is $172,000,000:and it contains a pop“ulation of 140,000 persons, many of “ whom, of course, have been thrown “out of employment or subjected to “losses and inconveniences by these “*scandalous events. The city will “therefore have to submit to a levy “on its valuation roll of $2.61 on $lOO “of taxable property or rather more “than one' fortieth of the whole »amount.” : ; ’

Buas vs, THE SPARROW.—It is stated that the potato patches in Lancaster, Pa., and vicinity are full of dead English Sparrows, In a single patch some thirty dead birds were found a day or two ago. The supposition is that the birds eat the Colorado beetle and are poisoned by the paris green used to kill the bug. Evidently paris green is not an unmixed blessing, It is of course death to the bugs, but horses, cattle, sheep, poultry and birds are not safe when this deadly poison is put within their reach.

A CCORDING to the public debt statement for July there is an increase of $2.000,000 in gold coin, making $lB- - gold coin accumulated. Besides this is $18,000,000 balance of currency and about $60,000,000 currency locked up in the treasury for safekeeping for the Money kings. In round numbers we here have $lOO,000,000 in coin and currency lying idle in the treasury while a million people can scarcely provide the necessaries of life! :

ONE of the most significant features of the public debt statement for July outside of the fact that $100,000,000 lies idle in the vaults of the treasury, is that about $2,000,000 gold coin and the same amount of currency increase is chroricled over the balance of previous months, This is enough to bankrupt the country and drive labor to starvation.— Exchange. ;

. | The Greek Church. _ In speaking of the Greek church, Evans in his history of the Christian sect says: “The origin of the separation which has now prevailed for many hundred years between two such important sections of Christendom as the Latin and Greek churches, approaching so near as they do in many of their fundamental principles, is to be attributed to the rival pretensions set up by the bishops of the two imperial cities, Rome and Constantinople,and dates almost from the foundation of the latter capital. The Roman branch continued, however, still powerful in ‘thlchl‘a.st, and the intrigues of the papal see were frequently successful, until in 1054, the mutual excommunications pronouneed upon each other by Il.eo 9th and Cerularius, caused the final separation, which has continued to the present day. : S.

A Lower Rate of Interest. Indianapolis Jouraal, The position of the Journal with refenence to a reduction of interest has been favorably commented upon by Eastern journals and capitalists.— The majority of the loan agencies here have reduced their rate of interest to eight per cent. Thuere is nothing clearer than that the rate of interest must be reduced with the reduction of rents and profits. There should, and in our opinion will be, a reduction to seven per cent. The intelligent capitalists will see the necessity of a reducffon of interest and the increase of security, This is in harmony with the general tendency of the times. 3

~ Tue Pittsburgh Post quietly puts its editorial foot on the many false reports in regard to the treatment of General Pearson’s family by the rioters. There were no insults shown to any member of the family, the residence was not sacked, nor was a coffin, destined for her husband, exhibited to Mrs. Pearson by the mob.. The terribly romantic story about Mrs. Pearson is also. denied. Her “bonny brown hair” did not turn white in a single night,‘nor has it ever been gray, excepting in the fertile imagination of the reporter or correspondent who invented the sensational story. v

MEDICINE; 0 PROVIDENOE, April 7, 1876. Mz. H. R.STEBvens—DearSir: When I was about 8 years of age & humor broke out upon me, which my mother tried to cure by giving me herb teas and all other such remedies as she knew of, but it continued to grow worse, until finally she consulted a &)hyeicinn and he said I had the salt rheam, and doctored me for that complaint. He relieved me some, but said I could not be germanentl cured-as the disease originated in the blood. { remained a great sufferer for several years, until I heard of and consulted a phivsician who said I had scrofalous humor and if I would allow him to doctor me he would care me, 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 worge form than ever, as cancerous humor upon my lungs, throat and head. I suffered the most terrible Ipniu, and there seemed to be no remedy. and my friends thought 1 must soon die, when my atiention was called, while reading -4 newspaper, to a VEGETINE testimonial of Mrs. Waterhouse, No, 364 Athens-gt., South Boston, and I, formerly residing in South Boston and being Persona]ly ac%uainted with her and knowing her former feeble health, I concluded I'would try Vegetine. After I had taken a few boitles it seemed to force the sores out of m system. Ihad running sores in my ears whiciyx for a time wese very painful, but I continued to take the Vegetine nuntill had taken 25 bottles, my hesalth imgroving all the time from the commencement of the firss bottle, and the sores to heal. 1 commenced taking the Ve@etine in 1872, and continued its constant use for six months. At the present time my health is better than it ever has been since I was a child. The Vegetine is what helped me, and I most cordially reccommend it to all sufferers, especially my friends. I had been a suffer for over 30 years, and until I uged the Vegetine, I found no remedy;new I use itas my family medicine and wish no other. : Mrs. B. C. COOPER. No. 1 Joy Street, Providence, R.

VEGETINE. The range of disorders which yield to the influ‘ence of this medicine, and the number of defined diseases which it never fails to care, are greater than any othersingle medicine l}?s hitherto been even recommended for by any other man the proprietors of some quack nostrum. . These diseases are Scrofulaand all eruptive diseases and Tumors, Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, and Spinal Complaints and ali infiammatory symptoms; Ulcers, all Syphilitic diseases, Kidney and bladder diseages, Dropsy, the whole train of painfal disorders which so generally afflict American women, and which carry annnally thousands of them' to premature graves; Dyspepsia, that universal curgse of American manhood, f{eartbnm, Piles, Constipation,' Nervousness, Inability to sleep, and impure blood. 2 e This is a formidable list of human-ailments for any single medicine to euccessful,lg attack, and it is not probable that any one article before the public has the power to cure the quarter of them except Vefietine. . It lays the axe at the root of the tree of disease by first eliminating every impurity from the blood, promoting the secretions, opening the pores—the great escape valves of the. system—invigorating the liver to ite full and natural action, cleansing the stomach and strengthening digestion. This much accomplished, the sgeedy and the permanent curée of not only the diseases we have enumerated, but likewise the whole train of chronic and constitutional disorders, is certain to follow. . ‘This s precisely what Vegetine does, and it does it so quickly, and go easily, that it is an accomf)lished fact almost before the patient is aware of it himself,
