Increasing the Fertility of Farms., One advantage which the farmer of this country enjoys is:the ownership of the soil he,%ills. Whatever improve‘ments he i{ '(fs are his own, and if, as ‘often hapy} = 'they increase the value and prody ,"Sﬁss" of his land, thei form the # ~ ‘art of the profits whic he realizf ~ 'yyland for the sake ofthe rf* in & most lucrative business‘s, ~ localities. The time has gone b\_,ixen, as a rule, farmers may expect “fand to enhance in value without something being done by the occupant to improve it. But if the owner can meanwhile make his living and {)erhaps something more by working the and, and at the same time increase its productive capacity, he is likely to be in an enviable position after a few years of labor. The trouble with most farmers has been that they have reversed this process—especially those who settled first on the virgin soils of the West. It has ‘seemed that necessity impelled the first settlers to skim the cream of fertility from their soils in order to tide over the difficulties and expenses of beginning a settlement, mostly without capital, building houses, fences, barns, school houses and churches on land where only a few years before the soil had never been broken by the plow. For at the West the conditions of farming at the East are reversed. Western land costs so little that its price never prevents the poorest man from owning a farm. He can/ generally also hire it plowed, and can sow and harvest the grain. But to stock the farm with cattle, horses and sheep, so as to restore something of what the soil produces to keep up fertility, costs much more. A man-can buy land on credit, or pre-empt a homestead; but-he cannot get a herd of ‘cattle, sheep, horses or even hogs without becoming a capitalist; and this for a man who has all the expenses of providing a home for himself and family is not easily done. It is the difficulty in getting working capital that is the chief%)ar to good farming in the West. The good crop of grain and the good prices which farmers have reeeived for it will prove an advantage in “more ways .than one. It will help farmers to cultivate mbore wisely than they have heretofore been able to do. ; e . . Keeping stbek is the most available ,mode of increasing the fertility of Western farms. At the West the prices of coarse grain and hay are lower than at the East, and the concentration of these materals into meat, wool and dairy products is evidently to the advantage of the ‘Western farmer. The scarcity of labor is another incentive to this policy. Except to make butter and cheese, stock-keeping requires less labor than grain-growing. If it returns less per acre that need not matter, asland is so plenty and cheap that whatever amount is needed can easily be secured. . ; i

It is not probable that commercial fertilizers, except plaster-or gypsum, will be largely used at the West. The farmers of Western New York are learning to use phospates extensively for wheat; but for the coarser grains! it is doubtful whether they pay even here. At the South both phosphates and guano have long been used; but they have been applied to cotton and tobacco, which yield on good land much greater profit than any 'grain crop. It is a fact that cotton, tobacco and sugar on good land will pay for commercial fertilizers at prices much higher than Northern farmers ¢an afford to give.! Few Southern farmers try to make manure on their farms. Running the soil, first with tobacco ‘and after that-with cotton until the crop ceases to’be profitable, has been the usual practice. Yet thebills yearly paid for phosphates and guano by these same Southern planters would cause many a Northern .husbandman to stare, and doubt the success of such methods. Plowing under green crops as fertilizers' has not been much practiced either at the South or. West. At the South there is often difficulty in getting clover to grow on thin, badly run soils. Thus this great help to the Northern farmer as a renovating crop.has not been available. The cow pea has been more adapted to the Southern planter’s use. as arenovatin% crop. It grows ups much more quickly than clover, and has proved itself adapted to soils where clover or any grain could not make a stand. Yet there is a strong temptation which few planters can resist to make a crop of cotton worth perhaps seventy to eighty dollars per acre by the use of guano or phosphate, rather than to lose a year by sowing a renovating crop to be turned under as manure. What South--ern planters need is some crop that can’ be sown in the fall after a cotton or other crop, and be ready to turn under before planting-time the following spring. It seems to me that winter rye is better adapted to this purpose than any other grain. It is used with success here in the North as a preparation for plantin corn or potatoes, and though not equa% to clover, is much better than a barren winter fallow." : e Green manurin‘g; does not seem well adapted to most Western soils. It.seems like ¢ carrying coals to Newcastle'’ to try to increase the vegetable matter in soils where the decay of prairie grass for centuries has made a depth of mold far below what the plow will ever reach. Possibly this is true so far as increasing vegetable mold is concerned. But the clover plant serves many other purposes as a renovating croF than adding to the amount of vegetable matter in the soil. The long roots of clover penetrate the subsoil, and expose it to tl':: influences of light and air. -They also bring to the ~surface some mineral élements in which the surfaceé-soil may be deficient. Within a few years 1 have no doubt that the West will immensely increase its growth of clover. It will make- pasture for its herds in summer, and hay in winter. Tt will not be best to plow under the green crop; but after all is got that can be, the soil will be filled with roots whose deca.K will add more to its fertility than a mue larger bulk of any other green manure. —ﬁ’ Fowler, in Examiner and Chronicle.

—An Oil City man; who hgs been unable to be about for some time, walked into a variety store yesterday, picked up a little square box tgat he found lying on the counter, labeled ‘¢ Gem,”’ and innocently asked, ‘‘What's this?”’ The clerks looked at him;, then at each other, nodded knowingly, and whis;)ered,‘f‘ the &orx;ix;an’s lost his reason.”—Oil City

! FARM AND FIRESIDE. —The best place to keep eggs intended for hatching is to wrap them in paper and put them down in the cellar in a covered box or basket. : —Cocoanut Pie.—Take one cocoanut, and grate; add the milk and two eggs, till the %nixture is as thick as-custard pie. One nut makes two pies. . 0 —Barn-yard manures are considered more hurtful than useful for grape-vines. Potash should form a part of tge grape manures and nitrate of potash is the mosi valuable. : —Paint the inside walls of a corn house with coal tar ‘and it will drive weevils from the corn. ' It costs but a few dollars a barrel, and a barrel will last several years in hen houses and corn houses. —Grease on a car Set, if not of long standing, can be readi I\: disposed of by washing the spot with hot soap-suds and borax—half an ounce of boraxto a gallon of water. Use a clean cloth to wash it with, rinse in warm water, and wipe dry. —Spots on furniture, from anything hot, or from alcohol, can be removed by rubbing hard with sweet-oil and turpentine. %Vh»en the spots disappear, wash in milk-warm soap-suds, dry quickly and pl(()lish by rubbing briskly with chamoisskin. ‘ f —Paint, pitch or tar can be removed from cloth or wood by rubbing it with turpentine. If the paint has become dry, put a few drops of the turpentine on the spot, and let it stand a short time; then rub the spot, and ifall the paint is not removed, repeat the work., When entirely gone, rub off with alcohol. —Bread Pudding.—To one quart of boiling sweet milk add the same quantity of cold bread crumbs, light bread or biscuit; mix and beat three eggs and one cup of sugar together; then one cup of cold milk and one-half cup of butter. Pour this into the boiling milk, season with nutmeg and set in the oven to brown. Serve warm, with cream. » . —~lf you want your chickens to grow fast feed them on oatmeal scalded with sweet or sour milk. Don’t make the feed wet or sloppy, nor give more at once than will be eaten up clean. Only prepare as much at once as will be all eaten before any fermentation takes lace in it. Where oatmeal can not. be Ead, fine cornmeal or cracked wheat similarly treated and administered will answer a very good purpose. —Boston Cream Cakes.—Half pound. butter, three-fourths pound of flour, eight ege, one pint of water; stir the butter into the water, which should be warm; set it on the fire in a pan and let it boil, stirring it often; when it boils, gtir in the flour; let it boil one minute, take it off and let it cool; beat the eggs light and stir into this cooled paste; bake in small buftered pans ten minutes, filling-them half full. : —Take a pint of molasses or its equivalent in sugar to agallon of water, put into an open-mouthed jar or keg. Put in a half pintof raw corn to ten gallons, cover with netting to keep out insects. Put it in a moderately warm place, and let it work until clear. This will take from ten to twenty days. Now pour off the clear part, t{:row out dregs and corn, return the -clear part to the ke%,shake it up occasionally, and you will soon have good vinegar which will not be poison. : —ln washing colored cotton goods there are a %reat number of ways by which the color may be preserved. For buffs or gray linen a tablespoonful of black pepper to a pailful of water will ‘“set’’ the color and not harden the water at all. —Letthe articles to be'washed soak in this water a half hour or so and then wash as usual. It is excellent for .black or colored cambrics or muslins, and with ordinary good washing these articles can be kept looking new a long time. The suds should be made with the water in which the black pepper was put and in which they were soaked. Buffs and grey are not easily spotted after having been washed in the pepper water. It notonly prevents fading but keeps the color from ‘*“ running.”’ —Chocolate Cake.—Two cups of granulated sugar; one cup of butter; whites of eight eggs beaten to a froth; one cup of sweet mﬁk, three full' cups of sifted flour, and three teaspoonful of baking powder. Beatthe sugar and butter to a cream, add the milﬁ, then the flour (baking powder in it), and the whites. When well mixed, divide and into onehalf grate a cake of sweet chocolate. Bake in ldyers and put tegether with custard as follows: Bring one pint of milk to the hoiling point, stir in first two teaspoonsful of corn-starch dissolved in a little milk, and then two beaten eggs and a teacup of sugar. Flavor with vanilla. This is a very excellent cake. . —Before putting -down carpets, if moths are feared, procure some pulverized salt and alum, or hot alum water. Put this down the cracks next the baseboards, and paste strips of cotton cloth over the other cracks, then, even if moths are plenty, they will be unable to come yp and do mischief. If there are moths’ e§o-s in the carpet, they can be d-estrox'e %y wringing a crash towel out of cold water, spreading it down on the carpet, and then going over it with a very hot iron. Go all over the carpet in this way, and. the steam will destroy both eggrs and insects. This takes time but is the most effectual . method for the annihilation of these pests.

. A Milk Wagon. An amusing incident, in which one of the oldest and most staid citizens of the town figured, entertained the pe(')lple of Williamsport, Pa., the other day. The citizen in question had driven down town and fastened his horse in the street, when a milkman, who had business in the neighborhood, also drove up, -and, after looking about vainly for a hitchingpost, fastened his horse to the aged. citizen’s carriage axle. When the citizen returned, got into his wagon, and drove off, the milkman’s horse and carriage followed, the strange procession excitIng much comment. ﬁ'he citizen, unconscious of the cause of the attention he was exeiting, would doubtless have taken his tow quite home with him, had ] not an awkwardly-driven hack soon collided with the mi{k cart and taking off one of its wheels. Startled by the shock, the citizen got out, fastened the rear horse to a Jpost, and drove home rapidly. | «~Boston Journal. < '

An Army incident, - THE country had few more efficient servants, during the war, than the *‘unwept, unhonored and unsung mule. Occasionally he was self-willed and troubiesome with his heels. But that was his ‘emphatic Xrotest against the unsympathetic handling of white teamsters. A negro seldlom kad any trouble with a mule, owing to a mysterious affinity which adapted each to the other. Again and again we have seen a negro make one, or more obstinate mules start that white drivers had exhausted in vain their patience and all their profanity upon. o Thou%h a grave animal, the mule was prolific of fun. At the most serious crisis he insisted on joking. An incident, illustrative of this peculiarity, occurred the morning on which Grant assaulted the works of Vicksburg. A reiiment, lying on the exposed side of a hill, had fired away all of its cartridges. Two soldiers were detailed to bring a supply. They went to the ammunition wagon in the rear, and strapped two boxes of 1000 ¢ 58s’’ over the back of a mule. Starting for the front, one soldier led the mule while the other propelled him with a whip, from behind. Just beyond the breast works, it was necessary to pass over a rise of ground which ran for a dozen rods in full view of the enemy, and then terminated in a hollow anc{ - safe place. _ . The two soldiers and the mule emerged from the breastworks on a run. But when on the top of the xise, and not a hundred yards from the enemy’s fort, the mule stopped, threw out his heels and stood stoek still. The soldiers persuaded with whoops and blows. They pulled and pushed; but the beast fixed himself to ithat spot as coolly as if it had been his favorite baiting-place. Perhaps an inveterate humorist, such as Tlheodore Hook, would have taken in the fun of the scene. The sqldiers didu’t; for bullets were whizzing about their ears. They couldn’t run, for the cartridges were needed. Screaming, one tugged at the bridle, while the other pounded the flanks. Suddenly, the bridle slipped over the mule’s head, and, with a toss of his heels, the animal started on a gallop and ran right into the regiment., He was caught, unloaded and tied to a bush. - When the regiment fell back, he was left standing as an out-post, and fell into the hands of the enemy.— Youth’s Companion. * ‘ —— " Mk FEVER IN A Cow.—Milk fever is caused by the irregular excitement of the circulation consequent upon the changed condition of the animal. If the trouble can be noticed atthe outset, bleeding from the jugular vein is the most effective remedy; but after the disease is confirmed this is dangerous; the remedy is then to give an active purgative, (sixteen ounces of epsom salts,) ‘with one ounce of saltpeter daily until the fever abates. Then cooling food, as bran mashes or chopped roots, should be given, but no grain food for some time. If the animal is very weak and torpid, give one-half dram of nux vomica and one-half ounce of carbonate of ammonia; rub the limbs briskly with a rough woolen. cloth, and bathe them with hot water.

Women as Lawyers. TrOUGH :old Mr. Fogy has long questioned woman’s fitness to practice law, and her opinions concerning legal matters, no one has ever questioned her opinion concerning Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
