CranbcrrieS.

The acid of the cranberry is SO decided
ly beneficial in all bilious affections, by
its stimulating effects upon the liver, that
attention to its culture should be encour-
aged. One acre of land suitably prepar-
ed will yield two hundred and fifty dol
lars worth of cranberrics. There are
thousands of neglected acres of such land
in New Jersey which are admirably adapt
ed to this culture. The cranberry plant
is a beautiful evergreen and grown thrift
ly; it can be kept all winter, and may be
so trained to grow from flower pots as to be
beautifully ornamental to the parlor and
dining-room through all seasons of the year.
They will grow in any ordinary room with
out special attention and the berry will
remain on the stem until the Towering for
another crop. 1t fourishes farther north
than any other berry, ripening On Bush
man Island, on the western slope of Green
land, in latitude seveniy-six.

sprouting sweet Potatoes.

V. ID. Van Nest. of Hightstown, n. j.
offered the following as his process. which
be thinks equal to DIR. Hexemer's, and
twice as cheap First, make a frame of
boards, if the ground be cold or heavy. on
the surface if light or sandy, dig out to
the depth of eight to twelve inches from
the bottom of the bed to the top of the
frame in front, and twenty-six or twenty
eight for back, to give a good slope or
watershed four and a half to five feet
from front to back take good fresh stable
manure and coarse hay-bog-hay is best {;
first a layer of hay, then manure, then re-
peat: pack it well to one foot in depth,
wet it slightly, cover with three inches of
sandy loan. lay in the potatoes-if small,
whole if large, cut in two from end to
end, with outside down cover with one
and a half inch of light sand loan. Leave
so till the potatoes begin to sprout, then
cover with the same to three inches to in
sure good and plenty of fbrous roots /;
when the plants are three inches high they
are ready to transplant to the hills or rows
for growing. l use no water, pudding.
or plaster in transplanting, and lose but
few plants. Use glass or sash to give a
quicker growth othe plants, as | find such
worth more than those grown without !;
keep the temperature in the frame from
sevcnty-ive to ninety if possible. L make
my hot-beds from April 10th to goth. ac-
cording to the season 1 get from 1000
to $4,000 plants per barrel of seed.

To Farmers

OF all the dreary places, deliver us from
the dreary farm houses, which so many
people call home. Bars for a front gate
chickens ~wallowing before the door; pig
pens elbowing the house in the rear scrag-
gy trees never cared for, or no trees at all
no cheering shrubs no neatness no trim
ness. And yet, a lawn and trees, and a
neat walk, and a pleasant fence around it,
don't cost a great deal. They can be Sc
cured little by little, at odd times, and the
expense hardly felt. And if the time
comes when it is best to sell the farm, fifty
dollars SO invested, will often bring back
FIVE hundred. For a man is a brute, who
will not insensibly yield to a higher price
for such a farm, when he thinks of the
pleasant surroundings it offers to his wife
and children. Farmers, beautify and a.
dorm your farms; set out orchards, shrub
berry, shade trees, lay off lawns; build
good fences; put up good gates, and paint
or whitewash your outhouses and fences.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food, not that it is more
important, but it is often harder to get
The best rest comes from a sound sleep.
Of two men or women, otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure ~irritability of tenn
per, peevishness, uneasiness. 1t will re-
store to vigor an overworked brain it will
build up and make strong a weary body
it will relieve the langour and prostration
felt by consumptives it will cure the
headache; it will cure the heartache 1t
will cure neuralgia it will cure a broken
spirit; it will cure sorrow. Indeed. we
might make a long list of nervous mala-
dies that sleep Will cure. The cure of
sleeplessness requires a clean, good bed,
sufficient exercise to produce WEAKNESS,
pleasant occupation, good air, and rot too
warm a room, freedom from too much
care, a clean stomach. a clear conscience,
and avoidance of stimulants and narcotics.
For these who are o~verworked. haggard,
nervous, who pass sleepless nights, we
commend the adoption of such habits as
shall secure sleep; otherwise life will be
short, and what there is of it sadly imper-
feet.

Experiment with Strawberries,

A strawberry grower states that in a
half a hogseead of rain water he puts one
quarter of a pound of ammonia, and one
quarter of a pound of common nitre and
with the solution sprinkled the plants
when poisoning. The application was
made at evening twice a week, and con-
tinued until the fruit was nearly of full
size. The result was that the vines thus
fortified gave double the amount of fruit
obtained from adjoining vines which did
not receive the application.

by the large pores in the back part IF the

The Working Farmer says: Some hors-
es have tender skin, ann the harness will
sometimes gall them cruelty, in defiance of
all means to prevent it. But many times
the true cause is attributed to a bad collar,
bad harness, or a good harness improperly
fttod to the animal. A yoke of bows that
do not fit the oxen will often gall them,
and unfit them for labor, when, if these
things were as they ought to be, they
would work with far more ease, and their
skin would not be CALLED.
When a harness or yoke of bows do not
fit properly, and their skin is liable to be
CALLED, battle those parts before they are
CALLED with cold water until the outside
skin appears to be quite soft, and then
battle them with a strong decoction of
white oak bark. Let this be done every
day, and the skin will soon become much
harder and tougher than it usually is. A
little care in preventing an i'll is far better
than much labor and skill in curing it, or
in endeavoring to obviate its injurious eff
fects.

entire year; and a recent author gives us
the following account of the method adopt
ed. 1t consists in cutting a circular piece
out of a ripe pumpkin or gourd, making
an apetature large enough to admit the
hand. The interior is then completely
cleaned out, the ripe grapes are placed in
side, and the cover replaced and pressed
in firmly. The pumpkins are then kept in
a cool place, and the grapes will be found
to retain their freshness for a very long
long time. We are told that a very care
full selection must be made of the pump
kin, the common field pumpkin, however,
being well adapted for the purpose in
question.
