EVERBEARING RASPBERRIES. A. L. Hatch, Richland Co., Wisconsin, thinks the fact that so few succeed with the Cattawissa and Ohio Everbearing Raspberries is owing to the lack of a proper understanding of them. He says their culture is not difficult, and he regards them the most v4 profitable varieties for fall bearing. In the Western Farmer he says: "The trouble in ordinary culture, or want of culture, is that the principal crop is too late. The new growth of bush bears the fall crop. If the. old bush, grown the previous year, remains to grow a crop to ripen the same time that the common sorts ripen, then the new growth is not as strong or early as it should be to escape fall frosts. With the Cattawissa, however, this is not .the only trouble, for they will almost invariably winter-kill if not protected.

If this occurs, or the old bush is cut down in spring, we shall have the plants in proper trim so far. But this is- not enough to secure the fall crop every year. Allow one, two, or three shoots to grow from a plant, and no more, always limiting the number to the strength of the plant. When they are about two and a half feet high pinch off the end of the shoot to cause the bush to send out laterals and to grow stout and stocky. Grown in this form they will sustain themselves and need no trellis. "Next attend to the soil, etc. This should be rich, black if possible, moist vegetable mold. And further, should Lave a warm, good, growing exposure. My experience and observation goes to confirm the opinion that shade, so beneficial to most raspberries, is not beneficial to.thc everbearers, or, more properly, the fall bearers. "\Vitii a good chance the Ohio Everbearing, with us, has borne splendid crops of large, rich, juicy berries. This sort does not always bear a fall crop unless the new growth monopolizes the entire strength of the plant. The Cattawissa is more marked in this respect, and will invariably bear the fall crop. Our common Black Caps will often bear a handsome fall crop if treated as I have written above."

I)(_)(_)It YARD AND (JARDJ^ FENCES. Life holds a great many trials, and it there is any one thing that the Lord will most heartily forgive a woman for getting terribly angry over, it is when cattle, hogs, or poultry by a brief depredation, ruin and destroy the labor and care of hours, of days, perhaps of weeks, just for the want of proper fences. Hens and chickens, with license to run at large, are enough to worry a woman's life out of her, if she has a nervous, careful temper. There is danger of flower and vegetable gardens being scratched to destruction every minute and what with household cares, to have eyes and mind on the hen's whereabouts, running overy now and then to note the position of the enemy, and make the welkin ring with "Shoo, shoo, shoo-o-h!" is exceedingly tiresome. Poultry have no business in the door yard nor garden. Out of their "spheres" they are an annoyance and nuisance that nobody with any sort of a decent temper will submit to graciously. They are the cares and constant distractions and watchfulness that so harass and wear out women, as much as muscular exertion. Oh, dear how many women wish they could give tho whole burden a Jlingand a ioss, and feel as free as air, or even as free from care as a man dot's, with his feet tilted higher than his head, reading a newspaper, while the odors of the fragrant coffee escape from the cook room and fall upon his senses like "perfumes from Arabv the blest!"

COLIC IN JTORSKS.

A writer in the Turf, Field and Farm savs: "There are, of course, various forms of colic, and a protracted attack will often produce complications which require skillful treatment, and the presence of a veterinary surgeon. The remedies here offered .are for the most frequent and easily distinguished cases of flatulent colic. "One simple remedy frequently very elleetual, ir two ounces or four tablespoonfuls of saleratus in a pint of strong ginger tea another, a pint of warpi salt and water, with an enema of the same the injections will often bring away large volumes of wind another, one ounce of camphorated spirits in a pint of sweetened water. 'I hese may be obtained in town or country at almost, every house, when other prescriptions requiring preparation may not be easily got. I add these drenches, all of which I have used with good result. "1. Sulphuric ether, oneounee laudanum. two ounces compound decoction of aloes, five ounces. Mix and ^ri overy hour until relieved. "2. Spirits of turpentine, two ftunccs laudanum, one and a half ounces on pint of sweetened water. .Mix and give every hour. ":l. Aromatic spirits of ammonia, one and a half ounces laudanum, two ounces tincture of ginger, one and a half ounces one pint of warm ale

Mix and give every hour. "The above are what might pro perl be termed allopathic remedies The usual honueopathie treatment for colic is two or three doses of aconite, followed bv arscnieum. After attacks of colic, great rare should always he taken of ilie horse, in order that a relapse may not occur, proper attention being given to the food and water, warm braii mashes, and water from which the chill had been taken, only being allowed."

eorresjMHuling disease in the being."

Vs'-.:-: 1 FI.IKS ON TTORSKS.—Tho Journal of Chemistry gives the following as a preventative of horses being teased by flies: Take two or three small handfuls of walnut leaves, upon which pourtwo or three quarts of cold water let it infuse one night, and pour the whole next morning into a kettle, ami let it boil for a quarter of an hour. When eolil it will le ready for use. No more is required than to moisten a sponge, and before the horse goes out of the stable, let those parts which are most irritable le smeared over with the liquor, namelv. between and upon the ears, the neck, the flanks, etc. Not only the gentleman or lady who rides our own country and its people out for pleasure will derive pleasure® from the walnut leaves thus prepared, but the eoarhman. the wagoner, ami all others who use horses during the hot months.

AN honest Dutchman, who lived in Pittsburg, Pa., long before railroads were invented, got his living by currying up freight from Philadelphia in a large covered wagon. The bovs(clerks) had once fooled him by sending an empty box to Pittsburg, directed to an imaginary personage, and Hans used to tell the following droll incident: "Von day, ven I kits my vagon in de top of de "mountain, he sticks fast in der moot veil, I have to take off all der goots before I get him out in takin' off der goot, I cum to a very light parrel, and I say to niineself: "'Dare, dem tain boys in Macalaster's sthore in Filadelfy play on me annuder drick— dey send von empty parrel py me to Bittsburk.' Veil, I takes the parrel, and I puts him on his head up, and I sees him marked 'Violins.' Den I swear it was von drick, because I knows dere vas no such man in all Bittsburk as Misther Violins and kits so mat mit mineself for bein' made such a tain fool of dat I takes mine axe and I prake de empty parrel all into little smashes. Now, vat vou dink vas in dat parrel marked to Mr. Violins? Fittles, sirall full of fittles, by tam. Veil, ven I kits to Bittsburk, I have to pay doo lioondred dollers to von little Frenchmsn, shoost because I did not know dat violin and tittle vas de same ding."

THE STORY OF A MUFF.—Someyoung ladies and gentlemen who were faking advantage of the tine sleighing in the interior of this State not long since, in attending a donation, surprise or wedding party, or something of the kind, were obliged to sit three on a seat. One of the seats contained two gentlemen and one lady. The gentlemen, of course, would not allow the lady to take an exposed seat she, therefore, sat in the middle. As the night was extremely cold, gentleman No. 1 quietly passed his hand (a remarkably small hand, by the way) into the lady's muff. As the muff was not very capacious, the lady qnietly removed one of her hands from the same. In a few moments she felt a movement on the other side, and found gentleman No. 2 attempting to pass his hand into the muff on the other side. She then quietly drew her hand from tjie mutt' and allowed him to do so. What took place in the muff afterward she is unable to say. But each of tho gentlemen privately reported to a small circle of lriends how warmly the lady had returned the pressure of his hand in the muff, while the lady as privately reported to her friends tho magnificent sale she had made of both gentlemen.

A (JTREAT SURPRISE.—A great many years ago we remember to have read a very thrilling story about a gentleman of elegant leisure, who was travelling for the fun of it in the tropics. Disporting himself on the banks of a river, he amused himself by trying to "turn over and roll .into the stresim, for the sake of hearing *it splash, what he supposed was a black walnut log. Before he succeeded in turning it over, one end ofthn log—which happened, strangely enough to be the tail of an alligatorflopped round and knocked him over there was a sort of splitting open at the other end, a flash of white teeth in the sunshine a quiet advertisement of a "good opening for a man of means"— the lazv winking of a black eye that looked like a knot in the log, and the gentleman of leisure had disappeared, leaving in his wake the glitter of a procession of brass buttons, and just it taste of verdigris and linen in the roof of the alligator's mouth and then the alligator resumed his slumbers. And tho gentleman left on record nothing to indicate his feelings. We only know that it must, in the very nature of the event, have been a great surprise to him.

OUR PLAIN PKOIM-I,.—Rev. Dr. Osgood in the Evening Post, thus com pares the middle classes of this country and Europe: "Our upper class does not differmuch from the upper class of European so ciety, so far as manners and refinement are concerned, but there is no middle class in Europe us our plain people, no class so well taught and well bred, so dignified and gentle, so independent ami respectful. Our plain people are not rude, and with us tne terms gentleman and ladv not do have their usual European meanimr. With us these words refer to character, and not mainly, as in Europe, to birth or position. it us a gentleman is a man of gentle spirit, who subdues his selfish impulses into sorial courtesy, and bears a thoughtful and genial humanity in his speech and habit. Such persons are found among us in all stations. It seemed to me that the English middle class showed a kind of sycophancy to the aristocratie class, which thev sometimes tried to disguise by a tone of inditlerence or dislike, while few of them have the dignity and modesty of our plain people. I was not sorry, in this as well as in other important respects to wine back with fresh satisfaction to

When our people lived in cabins, we preached in log nouses when they built fraino houses, we had just as good times with eliurches and when we got better off and !}vn Pa",(cs and furnished thorn splonii~-' ^i^hodism flourished just as well in large and costly churches—it is wonderfully clastic, this old fashioned Methodism. Why should your children enjoy that line piano, and these splendid sofs, and chairs, and carpets at home, and be compelled to go to a dingy old church, or at best a church out of all architectural taste and'linish, to hear tuneless songs, instead of such music as they hear and make at home? Why"O, there is not o: Methodist. I

If taught that Methodism is*a form of Christianity that cannot be enjoyed except at the sacrifice of everything that a fond parent like yourself teaches thom is essential to social enjoyment, 110 wonder they choose to do without, or to go where "they can find a form more consistent with the teachings of the Bible. Give me an oldfashioned Methodist, Bro. Wesley could preach to the colliers in tho mines, yet he could and did adapt himself t/ surroundings so as to preach in pewed churches."

Just then supper was announced, and the subject of old fashioned Methodism was not again introduced by the good host. It is said that he was much less a C'artwrightito the next morning than formerly.—Exchange.

OCEAN CURRENTS.

I11 a recent article on ocean currents, Mr. Croll discusses the question of tho influence of tho Atlantic Gulf Stream in affecting the temperature of Western Europe, and takes very decided.*' issue with those who deny its agency in that respect. He estimates tho, total amount of water conveyed by the Gulf Stream at a current fifty miles wideand one thousand feet deep, moving!^ at the rate of lour miles an hour, nfuL, r'-fiyd^

with a njean ternure cof *ixty degrees at the moment of leaving tliO Gulf. During its northern journey it} is calculated that it will cool down to| forty degrees, losing, therefore, twenty-? live degrees of heat. The total amounts of heat transferred every day by the Stream amounts then to one hundred and liftv-four sextiliions (15-1,000,000,-i 000,000,000,000,000) of foot-pounds—ant. estimate considerably less than that I made by other authors. This quantity of heat he considers to be very niucli§| greater than that carried Itv all the atmospheric currents that blow from the# equator and he thinks that the entire I: amount of heat transferred from the equatorial regions by all the ocean currents must be enormous.

While, however, insisting that the amelioration of the temperature off. Western Europe is duo to the Gulfr Stream, he does not think that this is effected by direct radiation, but 1)y heating the winds which blow over it toward the shore since itIHW^IIknown that in the northern hemisphere the

general tendency of movements of the atmosphere is from west to'east. Our author also finds that the low temperature of the southern liemisphere is owing to the comparative absence of ocean currents, and that without anv such currents at all the globe would'nwt be habitable since, owing to the earth's spherical form, too much heat is received at tlid equator, and much too little at high' latitudes, to make the earth a suitable dwelling ih

for the human race. 1'nder existing circumstances, however, the excess of heat is carried by the currents from thcequatortowardthepoles, and the counter cold currents return toward the equator, tluisequali/.ing the temperature, and an average is kept up that answers all our material wants. Our author finally conies to (he conclusion that without the existence of the Gulf Stream the mean annual temperature of Great Britain might sink below the present midwinter tempera

of Siberia, for all that can be shown to the contrary.
