LADDERS FOR THE Use OF FARMERS.
I'm the winter season farmers may
make such things as they will need to
use at other times. Among these is a
set of ladders. A long ladder is al
ways necessary TO reach the top of a
building in case of fire. A shorter lad
der for roofs and the walls of building
is also necessary. A ladder five or six
feet In height is often convenient for
fruit trees. One can hardly do with
out these three ladders; but there is
one other ladder which Is very con
venient in painting buildings, and
especially In gathering fruit, 1t con-
sists of two ladders put together like
the rafters of a building. These may
have a small platform on the top
which any ordinary mechanic can
make, on which a person can stand for
the purpose of gathering fruit, grating
or any other kind of work required
such an elevation Now let a light
piece of wood be attached by pin to
each side Of the platform, so as to
keep the ladder from falling sideways
and it is comRlete Such a ladder
will last great many years and be of
as much real use as any other article
on the farm as a labOr-saving cOntri-
vance. We believe that whoever ma kes
such an implement will be in the same
situation as the man who after twenty
years of farming bought grindstone,
and wondered why he had never had
one before.
We may safely set it it down as a
good rule, that in farming It is good
. economy to provide ourselves with
such tools as viii lessen our labor IL
the various operations Of the farm
Who woald think nowadays Of rails
ing two hundred bushels of corn and
then sheIling it out on a fire shovel as
our fathers and farmers boys often
aid half a century ago. A corn shelter
can be bought for a few dollars thai
viii perform the labor Of several meI
by the old mode Oh operation, and &
man Woul save his time by working
out at days labor saving wood till h'
had acquired money enough to buJ
one. Ingenious farmers and me
shanics are constantly at work deVlsinl
new and improved methods of carry
ing on our farming operations, and ",
always hail with pleasure every Tea
Improvement.

MAsTICATIoN.-The custom Of not
masticating the food completely is a
very common cause of dyspepsia. Be
fore the stomach ean act properly on
food, mastication is necessary to break
the cohesion of the organic matter, in
order to aid its solution In the stomach.
Itextends the surface of the substance
to be acted upon by the juices Of the
stomach, in the same manner as pull
verization aids the action Of chemical
solvents upon common matter. There
is also probably some influence Of the
saliva, which masticatiOn mingles with
the food, in aiding the solution Of
solid matters in the stomach, although
this is undetermined. At all events,
mastication. mechanically considered,
assists digestion and nothing is more
likely to act as an injurious iTritant to
the alimentary canal than unmastieat-
ed food.-L By a Physician.

BUOKWHEAT CAKEs.-A lady of
culture, refinement and unusual DOW
ers Of observation and comparison, be-
came a widow. Reduced from affiuence
to poverty, with a laEge family of
small children dependent on her labor
for daily food, she made a variety of
experiments to ascertain what articles
could be purchased for the least m oney,
and would at the same time 'go the
laTthest," BY keeping her children
longest from crying for something to
eat. She soon discovered that when
they ate buckwheat cakes and molas-
ses, they were quiet for S longer time
than after eating any other kind of
food. A distinguished Judge Of the
United States District Court observed
that when he took buekWheat cakes
Tor breakfast, he could sit on the bench
LoI the whole day without beiag un-
aomf0rtably hungry if the cakes were
omitted, he felt Obliged TO take lunch
about noon. BuckWheat cakes are a
universal faY0rite at the winter break
last table, and scientific investigation
and analysis has shown, that they
abound in the heat-forming principles,

THE Springfield Massachusetts, Re
publican thus disposes of a popular
error: If it requires fifty seven min
utes for a telegram starting from Lon
don to make the circuit of the world
and return to that point, then it will
reach London exactly ffty-seven min
utes after it started, and on the same
day. The idea of its beating time by
twenty four hours is absurd. It gains
upon time in the first half of the cir
cult of the earth, but just as much as
1t moves more rapidly than the earth
on It's axis in the opposite direction,
and it loses in just the same proper
ton in the last half of the circuit. II
it starts in the other direction and
moves with the earth, the process. will
be reversed; it will first lose time, and
then gain the same amount, minus the
actual time made in completing the en-
tire circuit. Job was not great on
lightning, but it is too bad to attach
his splendid poetry to our orUdities. T"

years on the Western frontier. The
murder took place in a lonely locality
while he was On his Wag to San Fran
cisco to be married. The murderers
obtained several hundred dollars In
gold from his person. and oDe Of them
was subsequently arrested, but for want
of sufficient evidence the trial was de-
ferred and in the meantime he escap-
ed from Jail and fed the Country
Within a yeaE man named EOsset,
who had witnessed the murder and
shared the money. muttered while m

murder, and on being arrested made a

REMEDY FOR KICKING Cows
Cows, says a contemporary, seldom kick
without some good reason for 1t. Teats
are sometimes chapped OF the udder
tender; harsh handling hurts them,
ana they kick Sometimes long and
sharp finger nails cut their teats, and
sometimes the mixer pulls the long
hairs on the udder while milking.
Shear off the long shairs, cut long
finger nails close, battle chapped teats
with warm water, and grease them
well with lard, and always treat COW
gently, She viii never kick unless
Something hurts her, or she fears a
repetition of former hurts. When
handled gently. cows like to be MIXED.
When treated otherwise, they viii
kick and hold UP their milk 1t is
quite as consistent to whip a sick child
to stop its crying, as to whip a sick
COW to prevent her kicking while be-
ing MIXED.

INCREASE OF THE METHODIST
CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATRs.-
The increase of the centenary year was
102. .925-an increase that was deemed
surprising yet the present eccleslast-
icaI year shows a gain Of 1880. The
gains of the two years amount to zl5s-
5O4. over tWenty-three per cent. on the
whole membership of 1865-hard on
to opc-fourth of the entire Church
membership. The increase of Church
edifices for the year has been 616 Of
parsonaees, Z56. Most Of these build
ines are doubtless of a more substan-
tiaI character than earlier structures.
The returns show an increase of the
value of this kind Of property amo unit
ing to nearly seven million OF dollars,
the parsonage property alone being
about million. The ministerial force
has been increased by 4l3 regular; (; 333
local. The centenary returns are ies-
tirpated at seven milliOns-the gre atest
voluntary contribution ever ma de to
religion In one year. The ee ntenary
contribution Is outside of and in addi :
ton to the ordinary stated contribU-
tions.

GoDFIsH HERALDRY.-A paper read
before a Massachusetts, Literary In
stitute, shows that the Goldfish was the
favorite emblem in that State in former
times for their coin, seals, etc. The
seal of the Plymouth Land Company
Of 1861. has for its central eflgy cod
fish. The two-penny internal revenue
stamp of 1775 was a Goldfish, surround
ed BY the legend, Staple Of Massa-
chusetts. The Salem Gazette, Of
1853, has in It's beading a shield, sup
ported by two Indians, and surmount-
ed by a crest, which Is nothing more
or less than a Goldfish. The paper cur
rency issued by the colony In the ear
" period of the revolutionary war, had
this ancient superscripti9n and image.
Mr.. Rantoul informs US that a eollec-
tor in Salem has original specimens Of
fourteen different denominations OF
Massachusetts, currency, issued IN the
wear I7T6, which are thus described !:
ALI this was in recognition of indebt-
edness Of the Old Bay State toSthat
stable article Of food and eomfort. the
Goldfish. And it IS -in<Feoognition of
this indebtedness that the semblance
Of the Goldfish has hung in Tire Hall of
REPRESENTATIVES, in our State House

CURE FOR FROSTED FLEsH.-We
are informed on good authority that
nothing Is better for Withdrawing the
frost without injury to frozen ears,
cheeks and fingers than the immediate
application of kerosene-rubbing it on
gently a few times In one instance
both cheeks were frozen, and this
remedy produced Immediate relief
without the usual Inflammation. The
same person repeated the application
al ano6her time with equal success. In
another case the remedy was applied
to a badly frozen ear, which, as IN the
other instance, is cured without IN
flammation. it is indispensable that
the application be made before thaW-
ing This remedy is the more 7alua-
bic because 1t is always at hand IN
every house Country Gentleman.
