The Hog as q Worker.

The hog is naturally Industrious.
Formed and intended for the purpose
of earning his food by hard labor, he is
often released from this necessity, and
by virtue Of his more fortunate circum.
stances enjoys life of idleness and
luxury that is unnatural to him. Not
that this is his choice. Far from it, it
is forced upon him against his will, and
in defiance OF his vigorous protest.
Why should he alone, Of all other farm
animals, be thus prevented from full
filing his destiny? Not only can he
FIJI the pork. barrel, but he can employ
his time profitably as well. As man
ufacturer OF composts and manures he
is unrivaled, and the owner of hog
who is so unwise as to forbid him the
employment he is admirably adapted
for, acts in opposition to his own
interests Let him be supplied with
the raw materials, and he will labor
most industriously in his vocation; and
not only industriously, but well: for no
practicable amount of human labor
could so disintegrate and mix together
the coarse materials of the barn-yard
and compost heap as he can do; and
while working will find his reward as
we'll as his masters profit, in the va.
rious substances he will discover in his
pile that will help him the more
readily to convert his food into pork.

Special Farming.

Many OF the complaints made that
farming does not pay are founded on
the fact that some particular crop has
been raised to the exclusion OF others
and failure has resulted disastrously,
In mixed farming this cannot occur.
A successful farmer will tell you the
secret Of his success. He has always
something to sell. In the winter time,
he has grain OF all sorts, wool and NUT
ton; in the spring, he has some lat cat
tie or a fresh COW; some fat calves
during the summer, and at any time, il
one should want a horse, he will have
one to spare, having always a colt to
put in its place. Thus money is all
the time dropping into his purse, and
though the items may be small, the
aggregate is considerable while he has
abundance for his domestic supply with
out having to purchase. Contrast this
with the hop raiser, the cotton grower,
the fruit cuiturist, and all others who
limit themselves to a special product
They may handle more money in year
but how little of it sticks to their fin
gers! They handle it but as trustees
for others, and sometimes failure will
prevent them handling sufficient for
their pressing needs.

Snap-HOOKs Instead OF Buckles.

We live in an age when minutes
have value formerly belonging to
hours. Improvements are now valued
in proportion az they tend to save time.
We suggest to inventors that improve
ments are needed in the arrangements
for fastening harness and straps. The
old-fashioned buckle is still retained
and it is often a very inconvenient
fastening. Who will not call to miid
the annoyance Of embarrassing a horse
after drive during shower of sleet
or freezing rain, when the halffrozen
fingers find it almost impossible to
loosen a buckle? But snap-hook
offers no such difficulty, and why, in
place of having the difficult buckle,
can not we have hook, properly form
ed and secured, to answer the same
purpose, with gain Of time and lessing
of COST There seems to be an open
ing here for ingenuity. We have used
hooks and rings on harness sufficiently
to know that they may be made to re-
place almost every buckle, and, being
made of suitable shape, could well
displace them altogether.

inc cider vinegar makes it always a
profitable article of manufacture 7op
farms which possess an orchard, az
every farm should. At this sfasop loi
the year apples commence to fall from
the trees, and the quantity that might
be saved by a few MINUTES work each
day is something worth Consideration.
A small cider mill and press NAV be
purchased for ten dollars and upwards,
and where there are twenty trees in the
orchard, the amount saved by its use
the first year would equal its cost.
After every high wind sufficient apples
might be gathered for o grinding, the
juice might be turned into cask and
additions occasionally made until it is
filled, when, after being properly con-
yerted into vinegar and racked off from
the SEDIMENT itwould find good mar
ket in any town of considerable size.
The pomace would be excellent for the
hogs, and small quantity placed in
wide.mouthed bottles or shallow pans
and covered with water would make
very efficient traps for moths of all
kinds. We have found this method Of
trapping insects successful.

Grade.

Grade.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
(RadicaD adds its kick to that Of Gree
ley against the carpet-bagsers. There
is pith, point and sense in what it says
1t says:
"They (the carpet-baggers) are doing
more harm to the country to-day than
the locust or caterpillar, or any other
kindred pest. They are teaching the
less intelligent and discriminating
Southernsrs to despise and hate the
Northern people more heartily than
ever; they are debauching the freedmen
they are bringing disgrace upon the
great Republican party and upon the
National Government. Their rapacity
is Unsuitable, and that they steal every
penny they can lay their hands on, are
comparatively trivial counts in the
indictment against them. Yet this
constant plundering is a very serious
matter to the communities which are
plundered. 1t means increased indebt
edness and heavier taxation. 1t is just
such rascality that is making the name
of Republican stencil in the Southern
States, and bringing suspicion and en-,
nifty upon honest immigrants. And
matters will not mend much so long as
needy and greedy adventures are ap
pointed to responsible Federal offices,
and fellowshipped by Northern Repub'
iicans on the floor OF Congress.

Agricultural Items.

A gardener near Albany is said to
have raised on two acres Of land enough
early lettuce to yield profit OF $4,000.
An exchange says women are being
employed to gather the harvest in GER
tain parts Of this State. The farmers
in the vicinity of Rondout send wagons
early in the morning for German
women, who are helping them in the
fields, and carry them home again IN
the evening.
Considerable tobacco is now being
raised in Wisconsin, the fields ranging
from garden patches to forty acres.
Five or ten acres are aboutthe average.
So many children have been placed at
work in the fields as to seriously affect
tho snhools .---.-.-.

Picking Cucum bers.

The following receips from an ex'
change are seasonable, and appear
practical:
No. |. Take cucumbers, wipe them
clean, and lay them into stone jars:
Allow one quart of coarse salt to a pail
of water; boil the salt and water till
the salt is dissolved; turn it boiling hot
on the cucumbers; cover them up tight
and let them stand for twenty-tour
hours; turn them into basket to drain.
Boil as much cider vinegar as will cover
the cucumbers; wash out the jars and
put the cucumbers into them; turn the
vinegar on boiling hot; cover them
with cabbage leaves and cover them
tight. In forty eight hours they will
be fit for use.
No. 2. Pick cucumbers each morn
ing, let them stand in weak brine three
OF four days, putting in mustard pods
and horse radish leaves to keep them
green. Then take out and drain,
covering with vinegar for a week al
which time take out and drain again,
putting in new vinegar, adding mustard
seed, ginger root, cloves, pepper and
red pepper pods, of each about one or
two ounces, to suit different tastes, Tor
each barrel.
The vinegar must be changed once
as the large amount OF water IN the
cucumber reduces the vinegar so much
that this change is absolutely necessary
and if they should seem to lose their
sharp taste again, just add little
molasses or spirit, and all will be right

Agricultural College Graduates.

Itappears that many OF the graduates
of our agricultural colleges have little
idea of pursuing the special calling
for which they have been educated.
The graduating class at the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College this year com,
prises twenty-nine members, not one OF
whom proposes to be farmer. One
intends to study for the ministry, four
will become teachers, ten are going lnto
business, and eleven are undecided as
to their future, while three propose to
devote themselves to money making.
If the graduates CT other similar insti-
tutions develop no greater liking for
cultivating the soil, it does not seem
likely that our agricultural colleges are
to have any immediate effect in increas,
ing the number of our educated and
scientific farmers.

NERVOUS AND DE8|L|TATED,

Whose sufferings have been prstracted
from hidden causes, and whose cases re-
quire prompt treatment torender existence
durable: II you are suffering, or have suf-
fered, from involuntary discharges, what
effect does 1t produce upon your general
health? Do you feel weak, debilitated, cas-
lily tired Does little extra exertion pro-
duce palpitation OF the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys,
frequently get out of order? Is your urine
sometimes thick, milky, or aocky, or is 1t
ropy on settling? Or does thick scum
rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bot
tom after It has stood awhile? Do you have
spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated? Doyou have
spells of fainting, or rushes Of blood to the
head? Is your memory impaired" Is
your mind constantly dwelling on this
subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, OF life? Do you wish TO
be left alone, to get away from everybody ?
Does any little thing make you start or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless
Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The
bloom on your check as bright? DO you
enjoy yourself in society as well" Do you
pursue your business with the same ener-
gy? Do you feel as much confidence in
yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits of melancholy? II so,
do not lay 1t to your liver or dyspepsia
Have you restless nights? Your back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little
appetite, and you attribute this to dySpep-
STA or liver complaint?
Now, reader, self-abuse, yenereal diseases
badly cured, and sexual excuses, are all ca
pable OF producing weakness of the gen.
erative organs. The organs OF generation,
when in perfect health, make the man.
Did you ever think that those bold, defiant,
energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose generative
organs are in perfect health? You never
hear such men complain OF being melan-
choly, Of nervousness, Of palpitation OF the
heart.
How many men, from the effects OF eX-
cesses, have brought about that state OF
weakness in Sexual Organs that has re-
duced the general system so much as TO In
duce almost every other disease-idiocy,
lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, suicide
and almost every other form OF disease
which humanity is heir to, and the real
cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected,
and have used remedies for all but the right
one.
Diseases of these organs require the use
Of a Diuretic. HELMBOLDS FLUID EN-
TRACT BUCHU Is the great Diuretic, and
is n certain cure for diseases of the Bladder,
Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy, Organic Weak
ness, Female Complaints, General Debility
and all diseases of the Sexual Organs,
whether existing in Male or Female, from
whatever cause originating, and no matter
of how long standing.
II no treatment issubmitted 10 COnsump-
ton or Insanity may ensue. Our flesh and
blood are supported from these sources
and the health and happiness, and that OF
posterity depends upon prompt use Of re-
liable remedy.
