WoSDERFUL.-HeDry W. Burr, No. 40 West 18th
street, while on a visit to the West, was attacked
win severe illness from drinking impure water.
Life was despAired of, and il was thought that he
must die. His wife was immediately sent for, and
in day or two was az his bedside. Having her
self seen the beneficial results from the use OF
Plantation Bitters, she insisted upon their being
administered TO him, which was done, in quanti-
ties prescribed by the attending physician. The
result was almost as If by magic, and in one-half
hour from the time they were given her husband
was out OF danger, and by moderate use OF them
three or four times day, he was soon able to re.
sumo his journey to his home. This Is but one
case Of many thousands that we know of.

Apple Pomace,

4 Young Farmer, but an old Sailor"
makes some inquiries in regard to the
use of apple pomace As a mulch for apple
trees. We can only say-haying no knowl-
edge of the matter from actual trial--that
the statements in regard to the fertilizing
properties of this substance widely differ
While some assert its value, either as a ma
nure or mulch, Others as positively state
that it has no sort of value whatever.
A few years ago a gentleman in Halo
well, who has a large orchard, and who I'M
derstands the management of trees quite
as well as any one we know, informed US
that he had for some years used apple pom
ace as a mulch for his trees with most sat
isfactory results We also remember the
statements of VI. Frere Henry, Rennes,
France, made some years since, upon this
very subject, who after trial of apple
pomace as a mulch for apple trees, for tif
teen years in succession, stated that trees
to which it was thus applied made double
and treble the growth of trees that did not
receive an application of the pomace. He
applied it to both apple and pear trees.
The pomace should undergo fermenta-
ton before being used. Some farmers mix
it with lime and apply it with good re-
suits; others throw it into the yard TO be
worked over by the hogs, and then used it
as manure-Ndine Farmer.

The Spider Trap. Nlll.

IA y
having followed his business for time
in an obscure corner, determined to
travel a little for improvement of
taste, and also for any advantage in
business which might turn up. By
his good fortune he turned his steps
to flower garden, where were dis
played thousand blossoms Of every
variety and hue. As we always CON-
pare new things to something we have
seen before, so in his mind he compar-
ed the colors Of brilliant flowers to the
various insects which in his entomo-
logical studies he had become &C
quainted with Elated with all he
saw he passed on, sometimes creep
ing, sometimes throwing a suspension
bridge from pier to pier of flower
stalks, until the thought occurred to
him that he had not dined or supped,
Accordingly he looked around for
place wherein to spread his table, for
spiders are accustomed to.spread their
table first, and then to sit down on it
or near it to see what good fortune
will send them.
At length, after several selections
and re-selections, he found a saloon
of the most admirable description. 1t
was nothing less than a morning glo-
ry! If he lad only known the name
which it bore in the catalogue he would,
suppose, have been still more proud
than he was Of his tent. For that
must be sumptuous flower which can
boast a name as long as Spanish
princess, as this did. Ut was the Ipo-
mea hederoceG saper6a grand fOFa.)
Across the opening of this splendid
bell the spider stretched his web. In
the morning ! first saw him there
The dew was fresh on all the leaves.
He said to himself; This is the very
cell of pleasure There will be enough

ing body right down to the bell and
dashed his head through the web; but
not liking it he made off, like Samson
with a part Of his prison on his shonl
ders.
Meanwhile the spider seemed fal
more alarmed than the bee, and saaa
back into its flower house. Misfor
tunes never come single, it is said
About an hour after this encounter
went out to see how the travelled spi
der was enjoying himself. He and
both had forgotten one thing, and tina
is that on fair summer mornings tn

Fall Manurinu.

Another valuable use of manure at this
season, is its application to grass, to be
turned under in spring for corn. If spread
now, carefully and evenly, the liquid and
soluble portions are carried down along
the fbres of the grass and intimately diff
fused through the upper soil. If the ap-
plication is made early, the effect is great
er, as the diffusion into the soil is not only
more perfect, but the growth of grass Tor if
clover, still better will add to the fertility.
But even now, or during the first half of
winter, manure is worth far more than if
left for spring application, when there is
not time enough for it to become diffused
and when likewise the ground is packed
and hardened by drawing heavy loads over
it. We have sometimes observed a differ
ence of twenty bushels of corn per acre in
favor Of fall spreading of manure, as COM
pared to spring application, when applied
to soil in both instances. 1t is only when
spring manure is very finely broken by re-
peated narrowing, that it proves of much
immediate value-Co Country Gentleman.

Notes at the EarmerS' Club.

Potdtoes.-GeO. Stanville of Fairport, Mon
roe Co, n, Y, precipitated this problem
When hay is worth SIS per ton, corn 81
per bushel, and oats 80 cents per bushel,
what is the value of potatoes for feeding
purposes? DIR. Hexamer-"I should say
fully twenty-five cents per bushel, and in
the New York market this year, and in
other markets, the price is likely to be less
than that. In my opinion, potatoes are
used too little as food for stock. Though
not so nutritious as grain, they answer a
good purpose. l experimental with cows,
and at the market rate at that time | con-
cluded potatoes were worth fifty cents per
bushel, while grain did not pay me one
fourth its cost" Mr.. Lawton-"Mr Chair
man: Seeing our friend from Westchester
the gentleman who last addressed us
and hearing him speak of potatoes, reminds
me that at the great fair this morning |
saw magnificent display of these tubers
placed there by him. 1t is such show as
l never expected to see. As to size and
appearance of the specimens, there could
certainly be nothing finer. l am astonish-
ed that DIR. Hexamer should take the pains,
year after year, to test so many sorts. His
motive must certainly be. something other
than expectation of making it pay pecuni-
arily." Mr.. Ely-"There are something
like two hundred varieties, and the only
reason there are not three hundred is that
sufficient room was wanting. What Mr..
Lawton says is all true and deserved"
Mr.. Fuller-'1 would like to ask if there
is among them all any one equal to the
Early Rose. I have $50 varieties, and put
this at the head of the list"
Ro,c to Rid Henery Of Vernein-Fran-
els Collins of Morrisyille, Bucks County,
Pa, asked thequestion. Mr.. Ely-"I have
heard that liberal use of kerosene on the
poles used for perches will have the desired
effect" Mr.. Gregory" And have heard
colored people tell that castor bean leaves
tied around the poles nsed for perches will
surely drive away the pests, However, l
can't say" DIR. Trimble-I, had barn
full of hen lice and such vermin, and by
the advice Of our colleague, Mr.. Bruen, 1
fumigated the building with sulphur. us
ing four or five pounds, and next day the
premises were clear, and have not been
troubled since" Mr.. Bruen-"Well, the
whole story is not long one. The truth
is, listened to everybody's directions, and
tried everything. Still no relief came.

Potatoes from Seed.

Seeding potatoes may be grown as east
ly as seeding tomatoes. In the fall the
potatoe balls may be gathered, and the
seeds washed out and then put away in pa
per bags, or the balls may be slightly pres
sed and then dried, but we prefer the for
mer plan. Early in spring. sow the seeds
thinly in pots, boxes, or in hotbed, and
when the plants are an inch or two high,
transplant into small thumb pots, one plant
in each, and after the weather is sufficient
ly warm, turn them out into the open
ground, placing the plants at least two feet
apart each way. If the plants are started
so late that it will do to transplant directly
from the seed-bed into the open air, of
course no potting is necessary; but to
obtain potatoes large enough the first sea-
son to judge of their quality, the seed
should be sown early in February or March.
With fair treatment, tubers as large as hens
eggs, or even larger, may be obtained the
first season from seed.

The Baldwin Apple.

Tradition has it that the Baldwin apple
was brought to the notice of fruit growers
by man named Baldwin, from whom it
takes its name. and who by chance found
the fruit while hunting in Wobllrn, Mass.
He carried some of the apples home, and
by keeping them some time, noticed their
undecaying nature and their juicy and de-
licious qualities. In consequence of this
he obtained some scions from the tree
which bore the apples, and engrafted them
into his own orchard trees. This occurred
about ten years previous to the introduc-
ton of the apple into New Hampshire

Bots IN Horses.-D. Washburn of Mar
ion, Ohio, forwarded "a cure" which, he
says, he has not known to fail-namely ::
"a piece of alum the size of a walnut dis
solved in one quart of water, and drench
afterward. tits well to loosen the bowels"
Mr.. Fuller-"A dose of tobacco is sure
pop. My father tried it often and never
failed. In our neighborhood, in my boy
hood days, there used to be two classes
tobacco men and milk-and-molasses men.
Ny father belonged to the former, and his
success was as havesaid. Since that time,
| myself have given tobacco a dozen times
and found it a safe cure"
Smut in Wheat.-B. f. Fox of Leon,
Monroe Co., Wis, wrote as follows
"Years ago, practiced cutting my wheat
as soon as in the dough, and | always rails
ed more or less smut. Now, since | allow
my wheat for seed to get thoroughly ripe
before cutting, never have smut. Wheth-
er that is the preventive or not, do not
pretend to say, but give my experience for
what it is worth, knowing what state
to be true My experience has all been
with spring wheat"
C6rno4 B1gt:-E. Fulson of Blooming
ton, ILL.,, is sure that whatsoever tries the
subjoined plan will never sigh for any 9TH
er:
For one hundred pounds beef, three
buckets of water-or enough to cover the
meat-four pounds brown sugar, with as
much salt as will dissolve. Boil and skim.
Put in the meat while boiling; boil thirty
minutes; take out and cool; pack in bar
rel and turn on pickle when cold. Bee
packed after this recipe may need a little
more salt after the month of March"
Drenchiag Cattie.-G. H. Nelson of AL
ba, Penn, having seen a recommendation
for drenching cattle, which he thinks in.
human and unsafe, gives his practice a.
follows:
q tie the head as high as convenient
then take the creature by the nose with thu
left hand, and raise it so that the mouth
will be somewhat elevated; then take ;
bottle with long neck and run it into thu
mouth as far as convenient, but not between
the grinders; then let the drench run int
the mouth the creature then with the FREE
use of the tongue, will swallow it as fas
as it comes. This method is, / think
much better than the ordinary one 0
drawing the tongue out to its full length
which IS, to say the least, cruel, and, As
deprives them of one of the natural {
might say most useful organs Of swallow
ing, it endangers their lives from strangu
lation. An ordinary COW | can drench i
this way in an open field, without any as
sistance 1t will cost no more to try it, an
if it does not succeed, it will be time enOug
to draw the tongue"
