New Way to Dry Peaches

DIR. Joseph Treat, of Vineland,
N. j., gives the following, and, as
he says, new directions, tor par
ing peaches for drying:
"Never pare peaches to dry.
Let them get mellow enough to
be in good eating condition; put
them in boiling water for a mo-
ment or two, and the skins will
come off like q charm. Let them
be in the water long enough, but
no longer. The gain is at least
six fold--saving Of time in remov.
ing the skin, great saving of the
peach, part of the peach saved, the
best part, less time to stone the
peaches, less time to dry them.
and better when dried. A whole
bushel can be done in a boiler al
once, and then the water turned
of. This very morning we had
over two bushels skinned, stoned,
(halved,) and on the boards long
before a quarter of them could
even have been peeled"

CURE FOR MURRAIN.-D. Har-
rington has a herd of COWS afflicted
with this disorder, and asked how
to cure them. A. B. Crandall, of
the World, said +: "Lewis F. Allen,
in his work on American cattle,
states that purgative medicines
are the best remedies, and he rec
ommends a mixture, consisting of
castor oil, six ounces inter, one
ounce Epson salts, four ounces /;
whey, or thin cruel, one quart.
If this. does not prove efectual, a
drink may be administered, made
of two ounces oil of turpentine, one
ounce of alum, dissolved, and one
ounce of terra;japonica. Harris
Lewis advises sulphur and salt,
and another writer states that an
experienced farmer gave half a pint
of the juice of the white blossomed
nettle with excellent effect"

The Color of Mules

In a long exhaustive article on
the ''mule," which it puts in the
form of a review of book on
that animal published by Phila.
delphia house, the writer says:
"Color has much to do with the
value Of q mule. The deepest
colored Of any color ere general
ly the best. The white mule is
the least hardy, though an iron
gray is almost invariably a SER
viceable animal. Cream mules,
with hair name and tail all the
same color, are trail /; but those
with black name and tail, striped
legs, and q black stripe across the
shoulders and the back, are more
hardy and more apt to resemble
the jack than mare. Pintos, or
spotted mules, are the least valu-
able of their race"
With regard to the practice of
using almost anything, whether il
is easier for the animal or other
wise, to attach it to the load, the
same writer gives these sensible
directions:
"Work animals should have ev.
cry portion of the harness fitting
comfortably. The bride and
throat-latch should neither he toe
short nor too tight, for one will
ruin the mouth and head, and the
other the mind. The collar should
be just long enough to enable the
driver to pass his open hand easily
through between it and the wind
pipe; and if it pinches at all, should
be put in water over night, and a
Few moments wearing the next
morning will give it the exact

leather collars should never be

To ERADICATE SAssAFRAs BUSH

To ERADICATE SAssAFRAs BUSH
Es.-George Levy, writing to the
Baltimore american, gives his
mode of destroying the trouble
some bush : Many farms are in.
tested with sassafras bushes, and
many plans have been adopted
for their destruction with little sue
cess, the trouble being that when
they are grubbed up every small
root left them will the ensuing
spring produce a separate shoot,
and thus the number increases.
Thirty years ago practical franz
er, who had seen four score years,
told me that if the bushes were
grubbed the day before and the
day after the full of the moon in
July, and the day before and the
day after the full Of the moon in
August, the small roots left in the
ground will never germlnate again.
After thirty years experience, |
am prepared to say to all who are
troubled with them, suspend all
other work, embrace the Opportu-
nifty offered during the four days
/ have named, and in the coming
spring you may see one in thou
sand; but follow the same course
next summer, and you shall see
your enemy no more. ! speak from
experience shall leave others
to philosophize and theorize upon
it.

The Common Mole.

A correspondent of the Rural
New Yorker, J. Stauffer of Lam
caster, Pa, makes the following
stroug plea in behalf of the mole,
a creature generally considered
by farmers as a great pest:
Much has been written urging
US to "spare the BIRDS" l deem
it just as important to say, "Spare
the ground-moles." "Patent mole
traps" and modes OF destroying
them, belong to the dark ages.
The mole is emphatically glut-
tonous feeder on flesh, and will
die when deprived of it, in twen-
ty-four hours, surrounded with
vegetables of every variety, or
roots. His food consists of grubs,
cockchsfers, mole-crickets, earth
worms /; also, rats and mice, if it
comes across them in its path.
E. Geoffroy Saint Hilaire, eel
ebrated Sdvdn, charges this under
ground animal with the crime of
catching birds in order to devour
them. The crafty creature expos
es the end of his pointed muzzls
slightly above the ground, and
moving it in imitation of a wrig.
Cling worm, the bird is tempted
to seize it, but finds only the hun
CRY gullet Of this excavating NAM
NAL. This would hardly occur
if grubs were plenty. 1t is true
the mole is a regular "borer," and
cute lengthy tunnel like a liv-
ing auger, formed, as it is, by the
movable snout, to pierce the soil,
and the close proximity of its two
powerful paws to clear away the
loosened soil, which may not al
ways be desirable in the garden or
on the farm ; yet, let us remember
that he a regular eating machine.
The forty, four teeth, studded with
points, never cease working from
morning to night. 1t is found to
require a prodigious amount of
nourishment, and that if deprived
of its food for day will perish.
They are after the ''grubs" with
a "sharp nose" SO let them "root"
at it; they truly loosen up the soil
some, but | question whether they
are not vastly more beneficial than
hurtful, even to the soil itself and
the insects upon which they feed
would do ten times the damage,

CRACKED DIsHEs.-There is trou-
BILE often attendant upon badly
cracked dishes. Such dishes alb
serb oils or fats from the different
kinds of food placed upon them
These fats decompose in the pores
of the dish, and no amount of
cleansing can remove the nausea
ting and poisonous deposit. Such
dishes are filthy and unfit for use.
The peculiarly unpleasant taste
sometimes noticed upon pie-crust
is caused by their being baked up
on old, cracked dishes, from which
the rancid fat from previous ba-
king has been absorbed.

Universal Clothes WringeF

Improved with RoueRs Patent Double
C0g-CheeLS and the Patent Stop, are now
unquestiOnably far Superior to any appa-
ratus for washing clothes ever invented,
and will save their cpss twice a year, by
saving labor and clothes
The Editor Of this paper, who purchased
q Washer and Wringer, thus testies as To-
their value:
A FAMILY BLESSING.
We have had in constant weekly use Im
our family, for about two months, Doty's
Washing Machine, and the Universal
Clothes Wringer, and after trial, often re-
peated, we can say as a result Of our obser-
walton and experience, that the statements
made in the advertisement on our fourth
page, are literally true. The Machine a.
bolishes all the hard york Of washing; the
clothes, Of whatever kind or texture, are
thoroughly cleaned, and the wear is not
near so much as under the old system Of
washboard washing. The Wringer is slsoa
model of perfection. Il will wiring gar
ments drier than can be done by hand,
NTH no danger at all Of tearing the clothes.
Iii made with RowelPs patent double cogs,
with the patent stop, (Which is in no other
Wringer,) TO prevent the double cogs from
separating so far as to lose their power.
The general agent, Mr.. Browning, is very
safe in Offering to return the Washer and
Wringer, after one months trial, not
liked. No one, after fairly testing their ca
pacities, will be willing to do without them.
PRICES-A Fair Offer.
If the Merchants in your place will not
furnish, or send for the Machine, send as
the retail price, Washer $15 Extra Wringer
$40, and we will forward either or both
machines, free Of freight to places where
no one is selling and so sure are we they
will be liked, that we agree to refund the
money if any one wishes to return the ma
chimes free Of freight after months trial,
according to directions.
No husband, father or brother should
permit the drudgery Of washing with the
hands, ffty-two days in the year, when 1t can
be done better, more expeditiously, with
less labor, and no injury to the garments, by
nDoty Clothes Washer, and Universal
Wringer.
Sold by dealers generally, to whom hber-
Al discounts are made.
