LAZY FARMERs.-Laziness prevents q
man from getting of his horse to put up
the FIRST rail that gets knocked of the
fence and through this lazy neglect whole
field Of corn is seriously damaged.
Laziness keeps man from driving one
nail when one would do, and finally costs
q carpenters bill for extensive repairs.
Laxiness allows a gate to get off the
hinges and lie in the mud, or stand propped
by rails-or a stable or barn to leak
aud damage hundreds Of dollars worth o.
provender.
Laziness, in short, is the right and prop
er name for nine-tenths of the excuses
given for bad farming. But by far the
most prolific Of the many wastes that are
due to laziness is the waste Of igno
rance. But this waste is in itself so great
and has so many rami6cations, that ",
shall have to defer its discussion for anoth
CT time.-Dirie Tenn Farmer. ? ~

Cheap Portable Fence.

We find in an exchange the follow
ing description of a cheap fence that
may be erected for pcrmanencc, or
can be easily moved: nGC=TSI
"Take a full fence, four pieces of
boards six inches wide and of the
common length, sixteen foot. To
these put on three cleats, one at each
end and one in the middle, nailed
with either hammered or with good
eight-penny cut nails annealed. or at
least those that will clinch well. These
will make PANELS easily handled, and
when set up in the desired place, let
each alternate PANEL have cleats face
in opposite directions. The ends of
the boards ON one PANEL would but
up to the cleat on the other; the
boards in this little space are double.
A pair of stakes are then to be driven
into the ground, the top boards rest
ing on the stakes where they inter-
sect; they also rest on the top edge of
the second boards from the top. In
this way the stakes serve as a wise to
hold the whole together. The stakes
can stand straight enough, so that but
little ground will be lost from cultiva-
ton"

nothing about medicine, say his big bottles
of common stuff will cure chilis and fever;

Horns on Cattle.

Gentleman thus expresses himself:
al These appendages arc, not NECESSARY
for comfort, health, or anything tend
ing to the well being of the animals,
to the profit of the owner, or the con-
rvcnicnce of those who feed and care
for cattle. Doubtless many a life has
been lost, which would have survived

for the horns. The next original
breed of GOWNS, having all the good
qualities of present races, and some of
superior merit, and which may have a
great run, will, / hope, be liornless,

losing the horns nor have lock-mas-

TO Clean Kid Gloves.

The following suggestions concerning
the cleaning of kid gloves, we take FROM
that excellent journal, the Manufacturer
and Builder. We doubt not but that our
lady readers will be glad to know how to
"make old gloves as good as new"
1t is well known that common benZine
is the best substance to take the greasy
dirt out Of leather gloves, as it does not
attack the leather like most other sub
stances sometimes used for that purpose.
Those VINO make it a profession to clean
gloves, put them altogether in a large,
wide-mouthed jar with glass stopper,
until it is about half fun, cover the
gloves with benZine, close the stopper.
and shake the whole several times, let
ting it rest alternately. The gloves are
then taken out, II by one, and exam
lned. If any dirt spots have remained,
they are rubbed out with benZine, close
the stopper, and shake the whole several
times, letting it rest alternately. The
gloves are then taken out, M by one,
and examined. Ii any dirt spots have
remained, they are rubbed out with ben
zine; the glove is then wrung out and
hung up to dry. Ii 8 lch gloves were,
however, to be worn after simply air.
dryilg, the higher temperature of the
hand would cause the evaporation with
an unpleasant Odor of the benzine which,
ut the lower temperature. was LETT be-
hind. Hence they are dried at 4 tenn
perature. of some 200 degrees, between
plates heated with boiling water. which
removes all traces of benzine, and conse-
quent OdOr.
The benZine remaining in the bottle
after having been used a few times be-
comes dirty; but as benzine is so cheap
as to make it not worth while to recover
it BY Redistribution when thus soiled, all
~glOve-cleaners throw it away.
\ correspondent of a contemporary
gives an account of this simple glove
cleaning business, occupying over half 4
page of three columns, and amounting
to nothing more than the above, which
is already well known. A great deal OF
space is occupied in the article referred
to in teaching how the dirty benzine may
be distilled by persons who have no APP
paratuS and know nothing of distill:tiOn
it is very reckless to recommend to such
persons the heating of this very milan
mable and dangerous material. Such
work should only be done by skilled
operators, with proper apparatus. For

Salt for Swine.

While other domestic animals are
regularly supplied with salt, the hog
is generally neglected. He requires,
however, to be as constantly supplied
as The OK, the horse, or the sheep, and
suffers as much for privation as either
of the above named animals do. His
food is almost invariably given to him
in a fresh and unseasoned state, and
to this fact we may doubtless attrib-
ute many of the violent and fatal dis
eases to " hich he is subject, and which
stagger all remedies, howeverprompt-
ly and skiltfully administered. If the
food be not regularly seasoned, there
should be a trough or box in every
sty, i'm which salt may be deposited
regularly for the use of the ANIMALS.
Seasoning the food judiciously would
be much the best way. AS seasoning
the food of the hog is mentioned
above let it be understood that salt
only is here alluded to, for if any per-
son should try seasoning with pepper
they will make a great mistake; for
as much pepper as will suffice for a
mans dinner will kill Il hog.

Female Complaint,

That claims its victims throughout the

Many females suffer I'm some way at eacch
il at the COMMENCEMENT of m~eastruat1on,

." turn of life" Sometimes the menstrual
flow is too much, or too little, or may be

ed with other distressing symptoms. Leu
cOrrh9a, or the Whites" frequently
drain the system, or liberation of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostra-
ton. .--
Falling OF the womb is an exceedingly
common complaint, giving much trouble
n distress, which, under ordinary treat
ment, is difficult to cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability OF
the WOmb,a and other serious and fatal COM
plants follow the female sex throughout
life. Lives there n medical gentlemen who
has or can relieve the fair sex OF the o
troubles? Not many. Is there no combina-
ton OF remedial agents that will come to her
rescue? We answer, Yes.

Sow Wheat.

The Southern Farm anil Home for
October gives the following timely
advice:
Towards the middle or end of this
month is the best time to SOW the car
~ varieties of wheat. We hope that
the readers of the Farm and Home
have all resolved to raise a sufficient
crop ofthis excellent cereal TO supply
thcirOwn wants at least, if they call
not conveniently do more. In those
portions of Georgia which arc suited
for wheat, we are satisfied that in a
series of years wheat raising would
be found to be more profitable than
cotton. The agreeable return for one
year might not sustain this opinion,
but when the amount oflabOr and cX-
pensc necessary to raise wheat is COM
pared with that required for the cul-
ture of cotton, and when the benefit
to the land, the time saved to collect
and make manure and generally i'm
prove the soil, arc all taken into the
account, we doubt not that onP belief
is correct.
We do not mean, by raising wheat,
sowing three pecks or a bushel ofany
sort of seed upon a rough, unbroken
and grassy field, and then scratching
it in with a scooter plow. But we
mean preparing the land thoroughly
by deep, close, ven blowing, so that
it be perfectly ~pulycrised and deeply
broken; we mean liberal manuring
with cotton seed or richly ammonia
ted super-fhosphates; we mean SOW
ing i'm drills about half a bushcl per
acre of the best and %cleanest seed that
can be found and VIC mean covering
i, carefully and then rolling with a
well adjusted horse roller.
We have found the white Tappan-
annock wheat to be the better than
any other variety we have seen.
As a preventive against smut, the
seed should be soaked in blucstone
water or strong brine for twelve
hours, and then rolled in lime or plas-
ter. The old advise, to "sow wheat
in dust that is, when the ground is
thoroughly dry-may be followed
with the best advantage.
BARLEY AND RYE.
Those who have hitherto neglected
to SOW o barley OF a rye patch should
not loose another moment. There is
nothing about a farm which "comes
i'm handler" or pays better than these
patches. 1t is entirely useless to at
tempt to raise barley either for pasture
or seed on poor ground. If you are
liberal i'm manure, prepare your
ground well, SOW a couple of bushels
of seed per acre, and cover nicely,
You will rarely fail to have an excel
lent winter pasture, which will p,o!e
q most timely and efficient auxiliary
TO the corn crib and the fodder stack.
