WORTH A TRIAL.

In conversation with an intelligent
and reliable farmer from Ohio, day or
two since, the rot in potatoes came up.
lie informed US that fortunately for them
a preventative had been found for the rot
in stored crops. The discovery was pure.
ly accidental, which was this--a friend
of his Lad large lot Of fine potatoes
which he placed in barrels for storing
away. Not having enough -four barrels
he used two salt barrels (such as the
New York works pack salt I'D and on
opening the -four barrels he found nearly
all his potatoes had rotted, whilst those
packed in the salt barrels were sound and
good not satisfied with the enc acciden-
tai trial, he used more salt barrels the
next season and found the result the
same. He then made known the re-
suit to some of his friends and their trials
proved the preventive properties of salt
to their entire satisfaction. Our friend
informs Us that instead of using barrels
lie put his potatoes in a cool cellar, in
beds about nine inches thick, on which
he sprirkles one quart of salt to SIX bush
els of potatoes This, he says will efec-
tually prevent rot. 1t is certainly worth
trial. 1t has thus far prevented a Sc
rious loss and banished the disease in
stored crops.

FARMERS ECONOMY.

Farmers talk a great deal about ecnno-
my. | know one man who will go three
miles out of his way, over bad road, to
save a few cents at the toll gate An
other, who is SO economical of blacksmith
expenses, that instead of getting a tire
act at the right time, will make il do a
week or two longer, aud some dark night
might be found groping his way home
with three wheels and rail to his wagon,
while "a horse or two are unable to leave the
stable on account of lameness, resulting
in misunderstanding of the word econo-
my, as applied to the shoeing of horses.
Many man is so economical In the mat
ter Of boards for barns, stables and sheds,
that he builds them every year of corn
and hay. This may be considered strange
building materials, but what | state is
true. If an animal is exposed to the
storms and colds of winter, it will take
one half the food it consumes to keep it
as warm as it would be naturally in good
comfortable stable; the other half will
just keep it along. So the half of the
grain and hay is used for making a sta
ble-expensive building materials, but
this is not the economy, however, that |
would recommend, nor that will pay
heavy war expenses. s.-RuraL Neac York

BEE KEEPERS CONVENTION.

A convention of bee keepers was re-
Gently held at Cleveland, at which some
important business connected with the
science of bee keeping was transacted
With regard to the winter management
of bees, the opinion was pretty generally
acquiesced in that when there were plea-
ty of bees and honey, the COMBS admit
ting of free REORGANIZATION, and an
upward passage for the escape of the
"damp," there is no difficulty in winter
ing them. Ventilation at the bottom as
we'll as the top of the hive was advocated,
and one or more of the members express
ed the belief that, in a cline as changea-
BILE as this, the better plan was to bury
the bees. In this connection the sub bject
of food was considered, and a great va
riety of opinions, resulting from expert
mcnts, were advanced. Mr.. Langstroth
had fed candy, placing it on the frames
before the stock of honey was exhausted.
This is preferred to liquid food He had
also used sponge saturated with honey,
which be commended very highly. He
also spoke favorably of feeding rye -four,
mixed with syrup into paste He had
tried the experiment of feeding sweet
milk, and the bees took it readily. Prof
Kirkland had in the fall, before the flow
ers, fed sugar syrup to his weak hives,
and it stimulated them to work even after
the stronger hives, that were not so fed,
had ceased to work. He remarked at
length upon the use of sweet milk as a
diet for bees and commended it. Anoth.
er member had fed sorghum sugar and
honey, and it had caused dysentery-
Another had used maple molasses and
decided 1t good article of food. The
Italian bee was The subject of very in
teresting discussion, in which most of the
members participated. It's superiority
over the common bee in almost every
particular, was maintained by all who
spoke of it. The convention was very
largely attended, and much interest in
the proceedings was manifested.

Corn GROUND IN THE EAR.-Since
my brief article on this subject In a for
per number | learn a miller Avon, in
this country, has lost three horses which
were fed with corn ground in the ear,
cob and all. He was told it was lard,
sharp portions of the cob extended be-
tween the chits of the kernels that killed
them, but he has got to lose one or two
more before he will believe. One of the
principle Shakers of North Union, in a
recent conversation, tells me that they
lost five horses while feeding corn-cob
meal, but became thoroughly convinced
upon examining the stomachs of the last,
That 1t was the cob feed that produced
their death. Since they have ceased
feeding this feed, their horses have not
been troubled with frequent turns of the
belly-ache, as fornery Y, disease, doubt
less frequently attributed to the bots..-
A gentleman who keeps COWS to furnish
milk for the city market, informs me that
he one winter used to give them corn in
the ear, but knowing that the cob con-
tanned no nutrimeut, he got the corn
ground without the cob, and gave them
the meal from an equal quantity OF corn,
and found an immediate increase of
milk by SO doing,---R. Fay Country

NON,
ARE DR.. HURD'S PREPARATIONS GOOD ?

HnE Unr EUnU TnCDnnHIlUNO OUCU
The best evidence that they are is. that their
firmest friends and best patrons are those who
have used them longest. DR.. WILLIAM B.
HURD is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn
Treasurer Of the New York State Dentists
Association, and these preparations have been
used in his private practice for years and no
leading citizen of Brooklyn or Wiliamsburgh
questions their excellence, while eminent
Dentists of New York recommend them as the
best known to the profession. Without the
aid of advertising, dealers have sold them by
the gross.
The Editor ofthe Brooklyn Daily Times says ::
eve are happy to know that our friend, DR..
Hurd, is succeeding beyond all expectations
with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder. The
great secret of his success rests with the fact
that his articles are precisely what they are
represented to be, as we can testify from their
long use"
The well-known P. T. Barnum writes d
found your Tooth Powder so good that my
family have used it all up. We find it the
best Powder for the teeth that we ever used.
shall feel obliged if you will send me another
supply at the Museum at your convenience,
with the bill"
But their cost is so small that every one
may test the matter for himself
Beware of the ordinary Tooth Powders. DR..
Hurd's Tooth Powder contains no acid, nor
alkali, nor charcoal, and polisheS without
wearing the enamel. Use no other.
WHAT DOES DR.. HURD'S REMEDIES EFGECT?
DR.. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth PoVder
will give young ladies that finest charm in
woman-a sweet breath and pearly teeth Try
them, ladies.
DR.. HUrd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Ponder
will cleanse the mouth from all foul exhala-
tions, and if used in the morning, will make
the breakfast taste sweeter and the day begin
more pleasantly. Hundreds of persons can
testify to this. Try them, gentlemen.
DR.. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Inoacder
are the best preparations in the world for cur
ing BAD BREATH and giving firmness and health
to the gums. Hundreds Of cases of DSeas ed
Bleeding Gums, Sore Mouth, Canker, etc.
have been cured by DR.. Hurds astringent wash
DR.. Hurd's Houth Wash and Tooth Powder
give an additional charm to courtship, and
make husbands more agreeable to their wives
and wives to their husbands. They should
be used by every person having ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, which are liable to impart a taint to
the mouth.
DR.. Hurd's T'oothachc Drops cure Toothache
arising from exposed nerves, and are the best
friends that parents can nave in the house to
save their children from tortue and themselves
from loss of sleep and sympathetic suffering.
Farmers and Mechanics you cannot we'll
afford to neglect your teeth. For a tri1ing
sum, you can now get preservatives, than
which Rothschild or Astor can get nothing
better. Remember that Dyspepsia and Con-
sumption of the Lungs often originate in Neg
lect of Teeth. Send for the Treatise on Teeth,
and read DR.. Fitchs observation on this sub
ject. If too late to arrest decay in your own
teeth, save your childrens teeth.
