USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

EVERY farmer should have brand to
mark his cattle and tools. 1t will save its
cost, often.
A wAGoN-sHED, centrally located and
easy of access, is great convenience. 1t
is an investment that will pay
IT seems reasonable that laboring
horse should have room to, lie in at night,
where he can turn over and SHIFT about,
Two dollars day for farm hand makes
1t important that he should have good
tools to work with, They cost consider
able Insist that he use them for the pur-
pose for which they are made
THE fresher eggs are the more time will
be required for boiling, To have them
soft and tender, drop them in the water at
a boiling point, and let them stand from
five TO seven minutes, mith0ut b0altng.
They should be eaten from the shell with
spoon, If desired fer salad boil them
for ten minutes; then throw them in cold
water; roll gently on table or board, and
the shell is easily removed.-lt@rM Ne0

DIR. Liebig says of apples 1.-THE i'm
portance of apples as food has noththerto
been sufficiently estimated or understood
Besides contributing a large proportion of
sugar, mucilage and other nutrltive com
pounds in the form of food, they contain
such fine combination of vegetable acids,
extractive substances, and aromatic prin-
ciplcs as to act powerfully in the capacity
Of refrigerents, tonics, and antiseptic8
and when freely used at the season OF
ripeness, by rural laborers and others,
they probably maintain and strengthen the
power of productive labor"
Pies AND PUDDINGs. The universal
| error as to the unhealthiul nature of pies,
puddings and pastries, taking it for grant
cd that they are well made and properly
cooked, has arisen from the simple fact
that, beaing eaten after we have made a
full meal OF other things, the stomach is
| oppressed by them, and, if the process is
repeated, becomes eventually dygpeptic
that it has not the power to work up the
food, because it has been worked to death
already. 1t would be quite as philosophi.
cal to say that if man has become very
tired by ploughing all day, and then by
chopping wood had worked himself
out" it was very unhealthy to chop
wood.-HaGs journal # Healh.

by, Lancaster writes the ohio Ftrmel
that he had known hogs said to have this
disease diSsected, and the stomach, bowels
and ligers found full of worms three Oh
four inches long, the ends OF them were
pointed and sharp, and of a hard, rough
wiry appearance. In one instance the
cavity of the gall was crowded full OF
these worms His Poland pigs were at
tackled with cholera. He caught the pigs
placed them on their backs, one boy hold
ing the legs and the other the ears-and
gave each pig tablespoonful of soft soar
morning and evening forthree days. The
second day he observed in their droppings
long stringy substances, which he found
TO bc the skins of what he supposed to he
worms, which was proof &c him that the
soft soap had the desired effect. He also
put soft soap into the swill and fed his
other hogs, which has improved THEN ap.
pearance very much.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds once
a week, they will become very tough, will
not cut the carpet, last much longer, and
always sweep like new broom A very
dusty carpet may be cleaned by setting a
pail of cold water out by the door, wet
the broom in it, knock it to get out all the
drops sweep yard or so, then wash the
broom again as before and sweep again,
