Hints TO Farmers.

T onds are the very best protection
OF cabbage against lice
Pears are greatly improved by graft
ing on the mountain ash
Sulphur is valuable in protecting
grapes from insects.
Lard never spoils in hot weather, If
cooked enough in trying out.
In feeding with corn, sixty pounds
ground goes as far as one hundred in
the kernel.
Corn meal should never be ground
fine. 1t Injuries its richness
Turnips of small size have double
the nutritious matter that larger ones
have.
Ruta baga is the only root that
increases its nutriment rs it increases
in size.
Sweet olive oil is certain cure for
the bite of n rattlesnake. Apply in
ternally and externally.
Money skilfully expended in drying
land by draining, and otherwise, will
be returned with simple interest.
To cure scratches on horses, wash
the legs with soap suds and then brine.
Two applications will cure in the
worst cases.
Timber cut in the spring and expos
cd to the weather with the bark on,
decays much sooner than if cut in the
fall.
Experiments show apples to be equal
to potatoes to improve cows, and
decidedly preferable for feeding cattle.
A bare pasture enriches not the soil,
nor fattens the animals, nor increases
the wealth of the owner.
One animal well fed is OF more value
than two poorly kept
Ground once we'll plowed Is better
than thrice poorly.

ASHES ON PoTAToEs. Hard wood
ashes are one of the most valuable
kinds of manure, especially adapted to
potatoes, which nowadays are SO
sensitive to decaying manures.
Chester Balding says that he applied
'unleached ashes to the pototoe hills
after first and second hoeings, at the
rate altogether of about fifteen barrels
per acre. Two rows through the cen
tire which were not ashed, yielded at
the rate of 1877 1-2 bushels per acre,
while the other produced at rate Of
$50 bushels per acre. There was no
perceptible difference between those
ashed once and those ashed twice A
dressing of ashes Will show its good
effects several years on grass, grain
&c, and marked good effects will be
noticed from liberal applications each
on the same land; but this is usually
not an economical practice.

THR WAR VS.. THE CouNTm's Prop
ucTs.-Will not the war drain the
country Of productive energy2 has
been an anxious question in connec-
ton with subduing the rebellion. The
report Of the Chicago board of trade
shows that the receipt, at that point,
OF live stock and hogs, as well as
slaughtered animals, was double in
1862 what it was in 1860, and it was
four times as much in 1864 as it was
in 1860; the number of hogs packed
in 1864 was $4,000. The amount of
grain received in 1864 was G0,000,000
bushels, double that of 1860. Some
other western centres have increased
in a larger proportion. II it as sug-
gested that this increase is merely
owing to concentration Of an unusu-
ally large proportion Of the products
OF the West at those points, and owes
nothing to an increase Of the amount
raised, the report answers that, "Not-
withstanding the drain which has been
made upon us for means, agriculture
pursuits have been pushed forward
with redoubled energy and vigor, ano
now q much greater breadth of lane
10 under cultivation in the fourth yea
Of the war than was ever before known

CucUMBRRs. The Rural NcW Yorker
gives the following directions for rails
ing cucumbers:
"Take tight barrel, with one head,
and make some eight or ten holes at
the bulge Of the barrel, with small
bit--say three fourths ofan inch-and
sink the barrel in the ground level
with the surface of the ground. Then
Ill the barrel with stones up as high
the holes, and put on about four
inches Of straw; then fill up the balance
with goood rich loan, md fill the
barrel up with water and plant plenty
of seed 80 that you can thin them out
to six or eight stalks. In case OF
drouth put pail Of water in the barrel
about once o week / raised off three
barrels, planted this way, over foul
barrels of pickles; and if they are wei
watered, through bearing season
they we'll bear well until the frost kills
the vines.
One needs scafiold to let the vines
run on: Say take four poles, ten fee
long, and set them about four fee
apart with one end on the ground, an(
raise the other some five feet higl
with pieces of lath or brush laic
across, and / will insure that you vii
have no crooked cucumbers."

PIANOS & COTTAGE ORGANS

HAVING made arrangements with ESTEY
III Il Co, formerty Estey Il Grcon) the only
manufacturers in this country of the Perfect
Melodeon and Cottage Organ, with Patent Base
Damper Patent Harmonic Attachment and Pa
tent Manual Sub-Basc, l am prepared to furnish
their,Melodeons and Cottage Organs on the most
favorable terms.
These inimitable Instruments have won their
way TO public confidence purely on their merits,
and not by force Of extensive advertising and
purchased recommendations.
Some Of the points Of superiority claimed FOR
these Instruments are these
lst. Smooth, steady, and pipc-like quality Of
tone.
I'd. Great delicacy of touch and promptness
Of action; producing. when desired, a low, sweet,
lute-like tone, unequalled by any other lnstru-
mcnt Of the class.
Sd. The Patent Bass Damper, which enables
the performer to swell the treble without increas-
ing the volume of bass; or, by drawing the stop,
to swell all the notes by the action of the foot.
ith. The Patent Harmonic attachment. An
ingenious octave coupler which doubles the pow
cr OF the Instrument without increasing its size
or the number of reeds.
9Th Tho Patent Manual Sub Bass. which
brings into use an independent set Of base reeds,
which are played with ordinary keys and con-
trollcd by a stop This new and valuable inven-
ton requires no extra room, and serves "a a sub
stituto For the Pedal Base, and can be used by an
ordinary performer.
9th. The Kneo-Stop, in tho Cottage Organ,
which swes or dminishes the tone by slight
movement of the left knee, without interfering
with the action of the fect-havug this advant-
age over the Automatic Swell that the volume of
tone may be readily increased without eXtraordi-
nary effort, and diminished without. waiting for
the change in the action of the bellows
The recently constructed Cottage Organ.
without the attachment, is unsurpassed by any
Reed Organ or Harmonum of the size; but, with
the Harmonic Attachment and Manual Sub-B
it is pronounced by competent judges to be far
superior to any other Instrument Of the class in
the world Its power sweetness, and variety OF
tone, simplicity of construction and ease of man
sgemcnt, recommend it to every one AZ being al
that is claimed for it, both for the parlor and the
church.
The Harmonic Organ, for Churches and
Public Halls, has fine, powerful Pedal Base
with independent reeds; and, with the HermoniC
Attachment, il believed to be the most powerful
Reed Organ made, being nearly equal to pipe
organ of three times its cost.
All of these Instruments are made in tho mos
thorough manner, and warranted in every re
spect.
