Cucumbers for Pickles.

In writing upon this subject we would
first remark that the business of growing
cucumbers for the pickle market may be
easily overdone, though it is equally true
that the demand increases each year.
Many growers have undoubtedly been sad
ly disappointed. in that they have grown
quite largely of them, under the impress
sion that they were sure of a quick and
remunerative sale, but when they have ap-
piled to the dealers have been informed
that the supply was very large, and the
market completely broken down. In con-
sderation of these facts we would not
recommend any very large investment of
labor in this crop by persons residing far
from large towns, or from established
pickle factories.
To those who may be able to contract
their crops at a fixed and remuneratlve
price, or who may be reasonably sure of a
sale, it is matter of importance to know
the best manner of caring for the crop
after it is grown. From member of one
of the best pickle houses in the country,
we gather the following particulars:
Pick your cucumbers from two to four
inches long, and use half a bushel of good
dairy salt to the barrel. Take care that
the salt is pure and free from lime. Sprinkle
your salt among your cucumbers as you
put them IN the barrel, but put very little
in until your barrel is half full. Put no
salt in the bottom of your barrel. When
your barrel is full or you have all in you
mean to put in for the day, put on your
cover and weights; see that your cover is
loose enough to work free in the barrel,
but not so small as to let out your cucum-
bers. Have your weights heavy enough
to hold your cucumbers down. Lastly,
put water enough in the barrel to immerse
the cover. Have no cucumbers over night
without being salted.
Forty-gallon or whiskey barrels are
generally used for salt pickles. When
heading up the barrel see that it is full of
pickles and head it so that will not leak.
Salt pickles will not keep out of brine; If
you intend keeping your pickles have
them in place where you can examine
them often, and if the brine has leaked of,
replace with fresh brine of proper strength.
These barrels average about 40 gallons
each, and hold some $500 or 5000 pickles
of the size mentioned.
Soft and broken pickles are useless and
should be thrown out before shipping.
They should be hard, well covered with
brine, and the barrels well filled. The
barrels are usually returned to the grow
ers, as they may be used year after year

COrns-Take Care of Your Children's
Feet.
On bow NV corns do HURT me p

"OH, how my corns do hurt mel"
Who has not heard this exclamation a
thousand times, and from thousand diff
ferent persons? 1t is rare to see an Ameri-
can, man or woman, who is not troubled
with corns.
Though not dangerous, they are most
painful infliction. They frequently cause
agonizing pain, and still more frequently
make walking inconvenient and difficult.
Let any one who has suffered from corns
for years look back and see how constant
ly little duties which require for their per-
formance personal locomotion have been
neglected from this cause They diminish
the enjoyment, the comfort and the USE
fulness of every one who has them.
And yet corns are entirely unnecessary.
They are never an evil which could not
have been avoided. They come from too
tight or ill fitting shoes. The "heathen
Chinee idea that excessively small feet
are essential to beauty, is the prolific
mother of all the ills that arise from corns.
Now when grown-up people are so silly
as to pinch their feet out of their natural
proportions, we need not waste our SYM
pathy for the sufferings which they expe-
rience in consequence. 1t is their own
deliberate doing, and let them take the
pains and penalties.
What interests us chiefly in the matter
is the children. We protest against in
casing their feet in shoes which confine
them in too narrow limits, or forcibly
change their natural shape. The silly
pride of vain mother has often imposed
upon a child the inf1iction of corns, from
which she was obliged to limp all the way
through life.
Let unnaturally small feet be looked
upon as an evidence, not of gentility, but
of small brains, and this mischief will
soon be remedied.
1t always seemed cruel to us to "hoppie'
lambs How much more cruel is it tt
"hopple" children with shoes which
spoil their feet, their fun, and their TEN
pers, and from the injurious effects o
which they will never be entirely free

The Household Tonic.

The efficacy Of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters as a specific for recruiting the enfeebled
body and cheering the desponding mind has
passed into proverb. In the United States, where
this marvellous tonic has borne down all opposition
and ecpsed all rivalry, the demand for 1t has an
nually increased in a heavier and heavier ratio
for years, until at last the regular sales of this
preparation exceed those of all other stomachics
combined. Eminent members of the medical
profession and hospital surgeons without number
have candidly admitted that the pharmacop@ia
of the faculty contains no prescription that pro-
duces such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general
debility and nervous diseases, as Hostetters Bit
tiers. To use the language of venerable physi-
clan of New York, 1.-THE Bitters are the purest
stimulant and the safest tonic we have" But the
uses of the great vegetable antidote are much
more comprehensive than such praise would I'M
ply. AS a preparatory antidote to epidemic dis
case, genial stimulant, a promoter of constitu-
tional vigor, appetizer, stomachic, and a
remedy for nervous debility, no medicinal prep
aration has ever attained the reputation of Hos
letters Bitters. 1t is the household tonic OF the
American people, and in all human probability
will be so for centuries TO come. The magnates o
science recognize its merits and that it is emphati-
cally the medicine of the masses, is proved by its
vast and ever increasing sales
Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1871-05-25

ever the quality, the quantity should
never be stinted.
The driving of cows considerable dis
tances cause waste of the animal tissue,
which must be made up by a draft on the
caseine of the milk, and upon the butter
indirectly at least while if driven beyond
their slowest gait, the direct waste by in
creased respiration is considerably increas-
ed. So cows that are obliged to keep upon
their feet most of the Jay travelling about
in search of food, secrete less milk, and OF
poorer quality than those that fill them
selves with less labor aud more quickly,
and retire to some shady nook to digest
their food at leisure.
Keeping too much stock for the supply
of feed, is very common failing among
dairymen. Make-shifls of every kind, in
feed, in stock, in implements, in help, and
in the product, are all unworthy the good
dairyman. If his means will not permit
him to keep twenty cows, and keep them
well and work up their milk in the very
best manner into the very best product,
and to sell it to the best paying customers,
it is better to keep but ten, till his means
will, permit him to keep more. 1t is by no
means an uncommon occurrence for men
to keep so many cows that their profit is
infinitestimal; when half or two-thirds as
many might, on the same feed, have paid
a fair profit on the investment and labor.
All the operations of dairying, including
feeding and milking, should be done upon
some regular system. The same person
should, as far as practicable, do all the feed
ing and at regular intervals and so of the
milking. In every thing pertaining to the
business, the most scIupulous cleanliness
must be practiced. All offensive odOrs,
such as arise from carrion or other decay
ed substances, animal or vegetable, in the
pasture or stable, or in or around any OF
the dairy buildings; and all kitchen OF
wash-room smells ,Dr any of the germs oi
putrefaction which have their origin and
growth in all sorts of out-ofthe-way
places where there is the least deposit OF
any putrescible matter, if no worse than
spilled milk, are sure to leave their i'm
press on the produce of the milk. New
milk, cream and butter, are well known to
be powerful absorbents, and it is proved,
past doubt, that milk is affected by these
offensive matters while yet in the udder,
probably by the inhalation ofthe cow.
Want of space compels us to pass over
the important subject of dairy buildings,
with the single remark that the tempera-
ture and ventilation must be under the
control of the operator, and it is idle to
hope for uniform success without these
conditions Butter Manual.

Good Farmers.

HERE is the secret of good farming.
You cannot take from the land more than
you restore-to it, in some shape or other,
without running it, and so destroying your
capital. Different soils may require differ
ent modes of treatment and cropping, but
in every variety of soil these are the
golden rules to attend to: Drain until you
find that the water that falls from heaven
does not stagnate in the soil, but runs
through it and off it freely. Turn up and
till the land until your foot sinks into a
loose, powdery loam, that the sun and air
readily pass through. Let no weed occupy
the place where a useful plant could grow.
Collect every particle of manure that you
can, whether liquid or solid. Let nothing
on the farm go to waste. Put in your
crops in that course which experience has
shown to lead to success in their growth,
and to an enrichment and not impOverish-
mcnt of the land Give every plant room
to spread its roots in the soil and leaves in
the air. And in all your operations en-
deavor to be little ahead of your neigh
bors-Fdrm Journal.

Soap.

1t is astonishing how little heed is paid
in our present system of education to in
culcating correct knowledge of practical
questions of our everyday life. We
listened only few days ago to discussion
concerning the nature of soap, which for
the first time, made us aware how many
Intelligent persons there are who have not
the most remote idea of what soap really
is. All dirt consists in the first place of
dust; fine dry powder containing almost
all known substances in greater or less
quantities, and produced by the endless
friction necessarily going on in all parts
of the world. This dust, falling on a dry
surface, remains fine powder, and can be
swept off with broom or a cloth, leaving
the object precisely as clean as before. If
it falls upon a surface wet with moisture
it forms paste, which becomes a solid
cake when dry, and which, when dry, can
be rubbed of, leaving the object almost, if
not entirely, as clean as before. If our
clothing or our skin were wet with mois-
ture, we should clean it by rubbing or
brushing as soon as the moisture had
evaporated, or the clothing or skin has be-
come dry. In the one case we should
ssoeep off the dust; in the other we should
rub or brush it off. But our clothing and
our skin are neither perfectly dry, nor

from the pores of our skin contains
fatty substance, which never dries,
and which, more or less, pene-
trates all our clothing. When dust falls
on our skin and clothing it is held there
by this fatty substance, which prevents us
from getting rid of the dust by either
sweeping or rubbing. We can only aoGsh
it off Butt fatty substance which holds
the dust will not allow the water to get al
the dust, and all the water in the world
cannot wash the dust off human skin OF

popularity that when it comes in contact
with grease or fat it renders it soluble in
water. Apply lye and water to the skin
and the grease, becoming soluble in water

cheese, vinegar. inks, soaps, sirups, wines
the use of Aniline dyes the preparation of
family medicines, and the many other valuable
articles set forth in the advertisement in an
other column, belong to that class of informa-

public. This is not an ordinary recipe book,
but a scientific treatise, containing important
knowledge, acquired by years of patient re-
