Rr.n-Its value for stock.

We have long regarded bran as one of
the cheapest and most useful kinds of food
we can have. Many farmers who are un-
able to raise sufficient hay and grain Tor
their stock on their own farm, have found
it profitable to buy it in large quantities
for extra feed.
But its value is generally very much un:
derrsted, the common impression being
that it contains but little nourishment,
with much refuse material. The reverse
is the t.uth; it is especially rich in albu-
men, phosphoric acid and lime
elements especially adapted to the wants
of young stock and mich COWS.
Given in connection with hay, young cat
tie thrive better on it than when fed on
richer food; and in fattening cattle its use
when mixed or alternated with corn meal,
seems to give more rapid growth and
greater weight than when the meal is fed
alone. When it is fed TO calves, it relieves
the extreme costiveness to which they are
subject to in the winter, and they have a
thrifty, healthy appearance in place of the
toe e-co4mszs.}aaaP-Saeass pot-bellied form.
Those who have used it in the dairy, find
that it adds largely to the yield of milk,
and helps much to keep the cows in good
health.
Chemical analysis shows that in COM
psrison with timothy hay, it contains
more nourishment, and has it in form
better adapted to the wants Of the animal.
In its fesh-forming constituents, 1t sur
passes wheat -four and corn meal, but has
less of the fat and heat forming elements.
But the true test of its value is its actual
use. The benefit we have derived from it
ourselves and what we have seen of the
effect resulting from its use, both as sum-
mer and winter food. by others, has i'm
pressed Us very much in its favor; and we
have no hesitation in saying thai stock
raisers. especially those who have 10 buy
extra, fodder, will find it very cheap aud
economical, as well as useful kind of food.

CurinR Meat.

At this season OF the year the thoughts
of almost every farmer naturally turn
more or less to-the process of killing meat
for the winters use. Most farmers have
pig or two to salt down, and some have
mutton or beef, and the quality of meat
which is to furnish food for the family
VIII depend q good deal on the way it is
cured.
There are various modes of curing meat
but one of the best. perhaps, is that sug-
gested by the Germantown Telegraph,
which is as follows:
To one gallon of water take one and
half pounds of salt, half pound Of sugar,
half an ounce of saltpeter, half an ounce
of potash. In this ratio the pickle to be in
creased to any quantity desired. Lstthese
be boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar arises to the top and is skinned
of. Then throw it into a tub TO cool, and
when cold, pour it over your beef or pork,
to remain the usual time, say four or five
weeks. The meat must be covered with
pickle, and should not be put down for at
least two days after killing, during which
time it should be slightly sprinkled with
powdered saltpeter, which removes all the
surface blood, &C., leaving the meat fresh
and clean. sSome omit boiling the pickle,
and find il to answer well, though the ope.
ration of boiling purihes the pickle by
throwing off the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar.

How to Keep Pasture In Good Condi-

tion.
It is with 9 pasture as with man, the
income must be greater than the expenses,
or it grows poor. Crops are the expenses.
L ID quite possible 20 make the surface of
any soil unproductive and Improbable by
carrying of more than is put on. Pastur-
ing with COWS that are yarded at night does
this. Sheep or beeves that remain upon
the land, on the contrary, return more than
an equivalent in manure, and keep the
land improving. Where plaster meets
want of the soil it may be kept improving
by sowing broadcast bushel and half to
the acre every spring. and feeding of the
grass. Many farms in the grazing districts
in the interior are kept up mainly by plas-
ter and feeding. Some of them will carry
a bullock to the acre. Other lands need
lime, and the lime brings in clover, and
this plant, by the large drafts It makes up
on the subsoil and the atmosphere, al
ways improves the pasturage. In other
districts ashes are accessible at reasonable
rates, and they are always q reliable top
dressing.
The effects are visible on some soils in
increased crops of grain for twenty years.
Cheap ashes viii keep up any pastures, pay
their cost, and leave q profit. So will
home made compost, II man VIII but
make and use it. Along the seaboard the
old pastures need nothing better than
creek-mud, and the weeds thrown upon
the shore. Too often these are allowed to
rot on the sand for want OF labor to gather
them. Irrigation is available in other
cases, and where the waters of brook can
be turned over pasture nothing more viii
be needed to keep it in good condition.
Changing soils oftentimes has a wonderful
influence. Sometimes on the same field of
twenty acres there will be sandy or gravely
knolls, nearly bare of vegetation, and hard
clay or muck in swales. A top-dressing of
the sand would pay on the swales, and
nothing could be better for the knolls than
the muck or clay. Our old pastures, to be
kept profitable, must have something done
for then. 1t will not pay to devote ten
acres to q single COW.

Explosion at The Powder Mill.


On Monday night last, at quarter past
ten, laundering report Was heard and the
intelligence at once spread that an explo-
sion had taken place at the powder mills
These mills are situated about q mile west
Of our village and are owned by the Latin
d Rend Powder Company. We went out
on Tuesday morning and gathered these
facts: The building in which the explosion
took place is called the cylinder mill and
is used TO mix the Ingredients before
pressing them. 1t is usually started in the
evening and left running all night without
any attendant Materials for about 200
kegs of powder were in the cylinders at
the time of the explosion OF the size and
shape of the building We were unable to
gather any information from anything that
was left in the place where it had previous
ly stood. With the exception of the lower
half of the water wheel and a portion of
the fume. not a vestige of the building or
machinery was left. The charred frag-
ments we're thrown in every direction.
In the cylinders, with the ingredients
were two or three hundred pounds of cop
per balls about three fourths of an inch in
diameter, and many of these were found a
quarter of mile away. This mill was
somewhat isolated and but little damage
was done to any of the surrounding build
ings. Some of the weather boarding was
knocked of building about hundred
yards away, and q number Of psnes from
the windows of the different shops sur
rounding, but the destruction in this direc-
ton was not half as great as we expected to
find. In one of the workshops a clock
was hanging against the side OF the build
l.
sion caused it to tilt forward and stopped
it just at the time the explosion took place
past ten. Some of the glass was
broken in the windows of Mr.. Jacob Kra-
mer's house on the hill east of the mill.
Il is not known what caused the explosion,
but it is supposed that there was some de-
feet in the machinery, and that the fire
was generated by friction. The loss Is be-
tween 81, 600 and S5, 600. The works have
been running the dast three months with

The CAFES OF PARIs.-The grand restau-
rants at Paris no longer display those at
tractive bills of fare for which they are
celebrated the world over. As far as
France is concerned, the supplies are total
ly cut of, and Strssbourg can not send
her savory pdtes de foie grds, Perigord can
not transmit truf1es, Fentainebleau frogs,
nor Burgundy snails- The delicacies of
foreign countries are also embargoed, and
Russia has stopped sending its wood
cocks, hazel-hens and partridges; Italy its
kids, lafks and pheasants; England
its grouse and mackerel; Norway its salmon
and snipes; Germany its hares and hams;
Spain its quails and olives; Belgium its oys-
ters nnd pigeons; and Holland its turbots
and herrings. In times before the war the
great absorbing question in Paris was, ''on
what shall We diner" but now the question
is, ''Shan one dine at alp" And a corre-
spondent says that as the early bird obtains
the worm, SO it is the early diner at the
restaurant alone who can secure the beef
steak with mushrooms.

A SAMPLE RADICAL.

The Radicals, in their efforts to hold
power in the South, are obliged TO use the
most despicable agents and tools. No
other class of men will do their dirty
work. In North Carolina they have Hol-
den; in South Carolina, Scott in Geor-
gia, Bullock; in Florida, Read; and in
some of the other States, equally corrupt
and disreputable representatives. The
Washington Chronicle says:
CAT meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the National Union League,
held at Long Branch, few days since,
Gen Littlef1eld stated substantially, in his
remarks on the dangers which threatened
the lives and property of loyal men in the
South, that Republicans were at The pre-
sent time, by no means safe from outrage
and persecution in Florida. Several of
the Democratic papers of that State have
INDUCED in rather severe comments on
Gen. Littlefield and have promptly denied
the truth of his assertion. Gen. Little
field was advised, and facts bear him
out.
The Raleigh Sentinel says Littlefield
has been presented by the grand juries
both of Florida and North Carolina for
fraudulent and corrupt transactions, and
since presiding at Long Branch over the
Union League and associating with Presi-
dent Grant at that fashionable retreat, he
has sneaked or fed to Europe, it is sup
posed with Florida and North Carolina
bonds to trade upon. The checks he gave
to Mr.. John WOOdfn and others on the
eve of sailing were protested. Mr.. Wood
FIN followed the rascal the next day. If
Littlefield has the confidence of any man
in Florida or North Carolina, except Gov.
Read and Gov. Holden, the Sentinel says
i is not advised of it. He is said to have
paid a part of the money used in bribing
Gov. Read. He is or was the partner of |
Gov. Holden in the Standard office.
The Governor made him State printer,
binder, and President of a railroad This |
S a sample of the men who are put for
ward by the Radicals as leaders of the |
oarty in the South.

MISREPRESENTA AND FOR
gerry.

Some time previous to the August cleo
ton, Judge Tourgee of North Carolina,
"a carpet bsgger,) wrote letter 10 Sena-
tor Abbott, of that State, giving list of
outrages, which he claimed had been
committed upon Union men, whites and
negroes, in North Carolina. This letter
was marked personal, " but Senator Alb
bolt regarded the information and sug
cestiOns it contained as Calculated and
no doubt intended to influence his course
in public affairs" and he showed it to
several Senators, and furnished copy of
it to Gov. holden, which he says was by
a trustworthy person. A copy of the
letter was furnished by Gov. Holden to
the correspondent of the New York
Tribune, and this copy was published.
Subsequently Judge Tourgee complained
in note TO the Tribune that his letter
had been 50 garbled as to make him say
what he did not say. The Tribune was
indignant at this, and called upon Gov.
Holden to explain who did garble the
letter. Senator Abbott furnishes the
Tribune certified copy of Judge Tour
gees letter, and he claims that it is identi-
cal with the one he gave Holden. He
therefore claims that whatever garbling
Judge Tourgee's letter sustained was
made after it lefthi hands. The Tribune,
in publishing this note, says:
-. "a careful examination of the certified
copy of Judge Tourgee's letter sent US by
Senator Abbott, shows that the Judge is
mistaken in thinking that be wrote 4
arsons instead of IA, as printed in the
Tribune, and that he is right in suppos-
ing that he wrote 400 to 800 houses

a" THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Renovation, not Prostitution, is
tie tr7le Medical Philosophy. The intro
duction of PLANTATION BITTERS,
prepared with pure St. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life sustain
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and responding by an immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put TO fight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face of the ex-
traordinary cures of general debility, dysr
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and men
tai dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once |
prescribed as the spring and summer med
icines, have utterly lost their prestige. The |
sick will not take them, and Plantation
Bitters, in which are C ombined the ele
ments of a stomachic, and invigorsnt, a
mild laxative, a nervine and an anti bilious
specific, reign in their stead.
