RIPE FRUIT AND DysENTERY.-There

RIPE FRUIT AND DYsENTERY.-There is
pernicious prejudice with which people
are too generally imbued: it is that fruit
trees are injurious in the dysentery-that
they produce and increase it. There is not
perhaps more false rejudice. Bad fruit,
and that which is imperfectly ripened, may
occasion chol;c and sometimes diarrhea-
but never epidemic dysentery. Ripe fruits
of all kinds, especially in the summer, are
the true preservatves against this malady.
The greatest injury they can do, is in dis
solving the humors, and particularly the bile,
of which they are true solvents, and occa.
sion diarrhea. But even this darrhHa is
protection against the disentery. When
ever the dsentery has prevailed, | have ca
ten less animal food and more fruit, and
have never had the slightest attack. | have

nine followed the direction given, and ate
fruit: they recovered. The grandmother

She prescribed Tor the child burnt brandy
and oil, powerful aromatics, and forbade the
use of fruit. She followed the same course
herself, and met the like fate. A minister

LABOR.

1t has passed into maxim, that "de-
ception is the first lesson taught in the school
of the world" There are cheats among
mechanics, traders, professional men and
leg slators. The poor. friendlsss, credu-
lous and weak minded are ruined by the
receptions and arts Of the rich and learned.
There are exceptions 10 this general asser-
ton. Many benefits result from the
presen, system oil industry, but still the past
and presen, condition Of mankind proves,
that the majority are either cheated, OPP
pressed or neglected by the minority. In
England. a few hundred noblemen own all
the lands; a few hundred merchants gather
the principal profits of trade; few hun
dreds manufacturers realize all the wealth
acquired by manual labor. The majority
of The people are deceived, impoverished
and irretrievably desperate IN their pecunl
ary resources. Such has ever been the
condition OF the muliiiuaes in old countries.

sinking into dependency. We have Plen-

In the last number Of the Farmer, speak
ing of the wheat crop, we said" Judging
by information received from different parts
OF this and adjoining counties, we are of
opinion that the present crop will prove an
average one throughout Central Michigan"
This opinion, as we then thought. was
founded upon good au,hority-but we now
find il 10 be erroneous. We think from
the most reliable information we have
since obtained, that the wheat crop in the
section alluded TO. is far less than an ave-
rage one. Our convictions are that such
will p owe true Of the whole State-al-
though, as we have before stated, the crop
has yielded abundantIy in some sections.
However, with the exception of the par
.ial failure Of the wheat crop, we believe
the farmers of Michigan have no cause to
complain. Nature mas been prodigal of
her gifts, wherever the husbandman has
judiclously planned and cultivated bis fields.
The late rains have obviated any fear Of
injury from drought, and the present warm
weather is forwarding and maturing all
kinds of crops. Michigan Farmer.

UNBURNT BRICK HoUsEs.-This subject
is important to settlers on Prairie lands,
where timber is scarce and clay abundant
The Ohio Phalanx, an Industrial associa
ton, opposite Wheeling. having written &c
Mr.. Ellsworth on the subject, obtained the
following answer:
WASHINGTON CRY. May Is. 1874.
:. MY unburnt brick houses have exceed
ed my utmost expectations. have one
here two stories high, renting Tor 500,
and now building three more. Mine has
stood two winters without the least injury.
These houses are very cheap and dry /;
they are cool in summer and warm in win
ter, and can be made (the sash and doors
being furnished from factory by CON-
mon aborers.
Before the Ohio Phalanx expended much
money in building, advised them to exa.
mine my mode tho published account in
my last Report. A mason had just better
come here and see oil, and then he can do
all. Hon. Walter Forward, (who has my
report Of last year and this year, visited.
while here lately, my mud houses, and will
give you his opinion cheerfuIly, having
considered the matter fully.
Very respectfully yours.

HeRRIBLE STonY.-Thc Cincinnati
Chronicle publishes an extract Of letter
received by a gentleman in that city, from
his brother at Isle Royal on Lake Superior,
detailing the following story:
A man and his wife, a hnlf-breed, were
left on The Island last fall by the loca,ers
Of COPY rights or EASES 10 keep good their
possession. The Isle Royal is about 90
miles from the British or Northern shore.
1t is about 40 miles long, and bu, few miles
in width. This man and woman were the
Only inhabitants Of this solitary island du-
ring the seventies Of winter. On the 9Th
OF March the man died. The writer of the
letter arrived here on the 9th Of April, in
an open boat from Isle Pointe. They found
the woman still in the cabin where the Two
had lived, and the corpse Of the man still
in the bed where he had died. The purity
and cold OF The at mosphere had prevented
the decay Of the body and the lonely wo-
man had been unable or unwilling TO re-
move il. Nearly two months had she lived
and slept IN the same cabin with her dead
husband, when the party arrived and buried
il. The forms Of a Christian burial were
observed, although bot one Of the party
understood the English language.

CHARCOAL MOST EFFECTIVE IN THE
GROWTH OF PLANTs.-Mr. Barnes, Of
Brecon, says Charcoal is the most as

poses OF cultivation, and especially for
plants under artificial treatment. Judge
from many years experience of It's use.
My pine soil consists of nothing but char
coal and loam, without particle Of manure
Of any sort. Every plant under my care
has some charcoal used about it | never

Retipes for Housekeepefs.

Aromatic Beer.-Take 20 drops of the
oil Of spruce, 20 do. wintergreen, 20 do.
sassafras. Pour 2 quarts of boiling water
on the oils, then add 8 quarts OF cold water,
Ia pint of mo!asses, and of pint Of yeast
Let it stand two hours and then bottle it.
Raspberry Jam.-Take pound Of loaf
sugar, to every pound of fruit bruise them
together in your preserving-pan with sill
yer spoon, and let them simmer gently for
an hour. When cold put them into glass
jars, and lay over them bit Of paper satu-
rated with brandy: then tie them up so as
to carefully exclude the air.
Tomato Catsup.-To a gallon skinned
Tomatoes add 4 tablespoonful of salt, A do.
black pepper, half a spoonful Of all-spice, s
red peppers and spoonfuls of mustard
All these ingredients must be ground fine,
and simmercd slowly in vinegar for three or
four hours. As much vinegar is to be used
as to leave half gallon of liquor when the
process is over. Strain through wire
sieve, and bottle and seal from the air -
This may be used in. two weeks, but i'm
proves by age, and will keep several years.
Sausages.-To make sausages rich
enough for an epicure, take 80 pounds Of
chopped meat, ounces of fine salt, "a or.
Of pepper, 2 tea-cups of sage, and II cup
of sweet ma1oram, passed through fine
sieve. For the latter, thyme and summer
savory can be substituted if preferred.
Drop Cakes.-One quart Of milk, large
tea-spoonful of saleratus, dissolved in cup
OF cream to which stir in the -four very
smoothly until thick batter is formed
Then dip your spoon in milk and with il
place your batter at short distances in but
ter pan. Very delicate, made entirely Of
cream, with or without eggs.
Premium Chcese.-For cheese of 20
pounds, piece of rennet about two inches
square, is soaked about twelve hours in one
pint of water. AS rennets differ very much
in quality, enough should be used to coagu-
late the milk sufficiently in about forty mi
nutes. No salt is put into the cheese, no,
any outside during the first 6 or 8 hours il
is being prepared; but thin coat of fine
salt is kept on the outside during the re-
mainder of the time it remains in press
The cheeses are pressed forty-eight hours
under weight of seven or eight cwt.-
Nothing more is required but to turn the
cheese once day on the shelves.
