FOR FLIES ON HORSES.

The Journal of Chemistry gives the
following as a preventative of horses be
ing teased by flies:
Take two or three small handfuls of
walnut leaves, upon which pour three
quarts Of cold water, let it infuse one
night, and pour the whole next morning
into kettle, and let it boil for quarter
of an hour. When cold it will be fit for
use. The way to use it is to moisten
sponge, and before horse goes out of
the stable, let those parts which are most
irritable be smeared over with liquor, viz:
Between and upon the ears, and neck,
and tanks, etc. Not only the gentleman
or lady who rides out for pleasure will
derive pleasure from the walnut leaves
thus prepared, but the coachman, the
WAGNER, and all others who use horses
during the hot weather.

TROUBLE IN CHURNTNG.

4 lady correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer says:
Il have found that the cause of the
cream beating to froth sometimes. in
ehurning, is carbonic acid gas, which is
heavier than the atmospheric air, collect
ing in cellars or where milk Is kept. 1t,
somehow by uniting with the cream in j
small portion, causes ito lroth and be
hard to churn. and the batter to be very
poor when done. and when there is much
of it in the cream, it will not churn but
ter at all. The remedy [ have found that
will entirely prevent it, is quicklime used
freely where the milk is kept, either IN
lime water, or the lime s,rewed in the
cellar. After the gas is once removed. 1t
can be prevented by vessel Of lime be
ing kept in the cellar and renewed when
necessary, and you will have 30 trouble

TAKE a large turnip, and scrape out
the inside, leaving thick wall all around

clingiug vine or morning glory. Sus-
pend the turnip with cords, and in lit
tie time the vines will twine around the
strings, and the turnip. sprouting from

that will turn upward and curl graceful

FERTTLIZING CROPS.

Hatfield, Massachusetts, farmers are
trying a novel mode of fertilizing their
crops. One of them tried sowing Indian
meal on his tobacco land, last year, side
by side with his guano, and was so well
pleased with the res It's that this year
he sowed ten tons on his tobacco land.
Another is trying cotton seed meal for
the same purpose, and others are max
ing an experience with barley meal.

TO DRY AND COOK CORN.

f. A. Riehl writes one of our contem-
poraries TO dry corn for winter use is
not always an easy matter when done IN
the ordinary way; but it Is SO good dish
when properly cooked, and comes In such
good play during the winter and spring
months, when the good housewife is Of
ten puzzled what to cook. that all should
have a supply; and for those who have
no better fixtures for drying, | would re-
commend the hot-bed Place the par
boiled corn, cut from the cobs, on boards
or sheets in the hot-bed, or other frame,
and put on the sash, raising them a cou-
pie of inches each end, the sun shining
in will make it so hot that the corn will
dry perfectly in one day; and the heat
will be so great that not fly will go
near it, and should a shower come up it
will be quite safe where 1t is, and ready
to take advantage of the first bit of sun
shine, when properly dried it will last
for years. To cook it, my wife says, put
it in a tin or other vessel with lid, pour
on enough hot water to cover well, set
on stove where it will remain near the
boiling point, but should not boil, leave
on three to four hours, Their take half a
cup of cream, into which stira teaspoon

corn, or instead of the cream use milk,
and add small piece of butter; season

TURNIPS AND POTATOES.

Soil that has been properly enriched
for an early crop Of potatoes, can readily
be put INTO condition for turnips AS
soon as the potatoes are gathered, rake
up the haulms and burn, after which,
carefully spread the ashes. Plow and
harrow the land level, and it is ready for
the seed. we prefer the elbow Stone,
but the purple top and similar white
sorts are good and will not be refused by
cattle next winter Sometimes it is well
to add dressing Of some kind of COM
merclal manure, such as bone, poudrette
Or superpt .,hate, but every man should
judge for himself whether this is nece-
ssary or not.
There are hand-cultivators with which
turnips sown in drills, car be kept clear
of weeds for less than half the expense,
that they can be with the hoe. Labor
saving machines are pretty generally dis
tribHted over the country, and most far
mers know how to appreciate them, but
some of the best hand cultiyators for
cultIvating garden vegetables, are not so
generaly known as their merits deserve.
Of course we are ready to admit that ex-
celent crops Of both early and late sorts
are produced by the broadcast system,
especially on new lands, bat still we
thir:k the drill is the more certain of the
two.

self to description of the Inconsistencies OF the

Of his party. remember very well, when Thad-

had devised their financial system proclaimed
there 70 the world that the bulk Of the national
Indebtedness, al but the ten-f0rty bonds, was re-
deemable IN currency as any other debts. Pass
over into the Senate Chamber and there You find
John Sherman, who was the chairman OF the FL
nance Committee in the Senate, and had control
of the financial policy OF the Government, so far
as the Senate was ooncerned-you find John
Sherman saying the same thing. That was their
policy then-their original policy.
There were two leaders of the Radical partv
within the last two years proclaiIning that every
dollar OF the fiVetwenty bond Indebtedness was
payable in legal tender, commonly called green
backs. But Il don't stop there. Ihave the speech
Of March, 1865 in the Senate Of the United States
in which ne not only asserted the same thing that
Stevens and Sherman did, but argued elaboratsly
TO show that lt was eonclnsively so, that every
dollar Of the public debt specifically provided
