USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

PROVIDE for your old age with a policy
in the Washington Life Insurance Com
pany, of New York.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Western Rural
says horse-radish put in a jar with
pickles will prevent white scum rising on
them.
THE white of an egg is said to be a
specific for fish bones sticking in the
throat. It is to be swallowed raw, and
will carry down a bone easily and GER
| tainly. There is another fact touching
eggs, which it will be well to remember
| When, as sometimes by accident, corro-
sive sublimate is swallowed, the white of
one or two eggs taken will neutralize the
poison, and change the effect to that of a
dose of calomel.
CELERY AS A NERvINE.-A correspond
ent of the Practical Farmer says: II have
known many men, and women too, who,
from various causes, had become so much
affected with nervousness that when they
stretched out their hands they shook like
aspen leaves on windy days; and by a
daily moderate use of the blanched foot
stalks of the celery leaves as a salad, they
became as strong and steady in limbs as
other people, I have known others so
very nervous that the least annoyance put
them In state of agitation, who were in
almost constant perplexity and fear, and
who were etfectually cured by a daily
moderate use of blanched celery as a
salad at mealtimes. Ihave known others
cured by using celery for palpitation of
| the heart.
THE majority of people are not aware
of the beneficial effect of wearing flannel
next to the body, both in cold and warm
weather. Flannel is not so uncomforta-
BILE in warm weather as prejudiced peo-
! pie believe. Frequent colds and constant
hacking coughs have left me, since adopt
ing flannel garments. There is no need
of great bulk about the waist, which con-
dennis the wearing of flannel with those
who prefer wasp waists to health, for in
| that case the flannel can be cut as loosely
| fitting waists, always fastened atthe back
| There are scarcely any of the bad effects
of sudden changes of weather felt by those
who wear flannel garments, and mothers
especially should endeavor to secure such
| for their little people, in preference to all
these snowy outside trimmings which
fashion commands.
To PREVENT HONEY CANDYING.-O.
Harmon, Otoe, Nebraska, thus answers
the question chow can honey be put up
in barrels or otherwise, to prevent candy
ing?" I prepared mine last autumn by
putting part of it into the stove boiler
and setting on a crate placed upon the
top of the stove and gently stirring while
brought it to boiling heat. With an
other lot, placed the vessels containing
the honey in kettle outdoors, contain
ing water sufficient to come near the top
of the vessels holding the honey; 1 then
set the water boiling, until the honey was
also brought to the boiling point,
using the skinner slightly in both
cases. A part of the honey was
then put in stone jars, and part
in Mason's self-sealing jars. 1t is just as
nice to-day as when prepared last autumn.
1t takes longer by the latter mode, but
there is no danger of burning and the
honey is left little nicer.

SeasOnable Suggestions.

The heavy mists and cold night dews which Charac-
terize the present very trying to delicate
organizations, and in lowlying and swampy locali-
ties they produce enormous crop of intermittent
fevers of various types and degrees of intensity At
this very time there probably half million of
people in the United States suffering from periodical
fevers by miasmatic fogs and exhalations. What
makes the prevalence of this evil the deplOra-
BILE is the fact that might in all be easily pre-
vented. Malaria and damp produce little no effect
upon the system pre-fortifed by of Hostel
ters Stomach Biters Every fall and spring hundreds
of letters received from persons residing in fever
and ague districts who state that while their neigh
bors are incapacitated for labor by the debilita-
ting disease, they have been happily exempted
from attack by the regular use of the great veg
etable antdote to miasma. AS q chlologopic or
specific for intermittent and reittent fevers the Bit
tiers may be justly accounted infallible. They erad
cate the complaints in their most obstinate forms ;
but the wiser is forestall attack by taking
the preparation as apreventive. The amount of pro-
ductive labor withdrawn from active service during
several months in the year by malariOus maladies is
immense, and the pecuniary losses to individuals,
families and the nation from this cause is incacula

Washing Butter.

This practice is by some butter-makers
looked upon as injurious, and it is a point
upon which diverse opinions are held
One says, 81 never allow particle of
water to touch my butter" It is claimed
that by this practice the butter has a
richer flavor, that washing takes away.
If butter could be entirely freed from
casein, which even washing will not do
perfectly, it would keep an almost indef-
mite time with good care. But we are
told that unwashed butter contains about
five or six per cent. of casein, while that
which is we'll washed will retain only
about one per cent of it.
We believe that it is better to wash the
casein than to work it out, even if work
ing would do it as well, for the reason
that the less you work the butter, the
better it is. If there were some process
whereby the butter could be extracted
from the milk Immediately after it is
taken from the COW, and the animal heat
is gone, without injury to the butter, the
keeping qualities of the butter would be
greatly improved. Is it hoping too much
that science will one day do it?
A large portion of the milk as it comes
from the cow is water, and why should
pure water injure butter? We can readily
see that IL the water contains mineral
substances, or is impure, it would produce
injury. No one claims but that washing
is necessary where butter is intended for
long keeping; and if, as is claimed, the
aroma is washed away, there is no doubt
that this aroma is from the casein that
remains in all unwashed butter, for even
washing will not extract all of it.
One thing is exploded that has long
been hobby, and that is, you must pound
about so long to get good butter If the
temperature is right, and the previous
care has been right, five or ten minutes
will bring as good or better butter than
hours of pounding. This we have de-
monstrated to our satisfaction, and we
are prepared to expect that other changes
in butter-m making will come in due time
The more quickly butter is made, and the
air is shut from it, the better, if only the
next hour after the milk is drawn from
the cow.-FTezon5a, N r, Censor.

HE SKEPTICAL CONVINCED.-EVery
advance in medicine, every new remedy,
has encountered an opposition, which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can
stand the silent argument of good results.
When DR.. Walker proclaimed thathe had
produced from the medicinal herbs of
California an Elixirthat would regenerate
the sinking system and cure diseases not
organic, the incredulous shook their
heads. Yet his VINEGAR BITTERs is now
the Standard Restorative of the Western
World. The truth could not be resisted.
Under the operation of the new remedy,
Dyspeptics regained their health, appetite
and strength; the Bilious and Constipated
were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered; Intermittent and Re-
mittent Fevers were broken up; the faint
of Scrofula was eradicated! Who could
gainsay facts like these? Not even the
Faculty. Skepticism was routed. All
doubts as to the claims of the Bitters to
the first place in the first rank of modern
medicines were silenced, and this wonder
full preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative, and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists, we are free to add
our testimony to this remedy. It is a
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.

A Terrible Fall from Burning
Balloon.

MIR. DENNISTON, aerOnaut, who adver-
tised that Mr.. L. Durham would make an
ascension at this place this afternoon,
was initiating his monster balloon Getty
of New York." and had nearly completed
the initiating process, when people on the
north part of the grounds discovered
smoke escaping from the top of the bal
loon. 1t was scarcely visible at first, but
faster and more faster emitted the smoke;
but, hardly had the detection in the air.
pump become apparent before flames
were issuing from the very top of the
balloon. Quickly the shout went up,
1.-The balloon is on fire." and, as those
near by began to retreat, the horses were
also driven here and there to escape all
danger. The dry cambria and it's cover
ing began burning, first slowly, then the
flames spread, and upward and onward
went the fire, premonition by this time
overtaking the spectators, every one pres
ent fearing that some fearful, if not fatal,
calamity would result Scarcely had the
flames burst out, however, before an aper-
ture of two or three feet was made where
the guy-rope holding the unwieldly thing
crossed it, and now the rope burns off,
and away to the southwark shoots the
balloon, carrying with it in its course Mr..
Michael McMann, laborer assisting in
the imitation. Being near the basket as it
started off, he became entangled, and,
hanging with one foot inside the
basket, his hands holding to the
ropes, he thus assembled for perhaps 100
feet, and regained position in the bas
ket, which again hung sideways, and in
another minute he was hanging to the
ropes alone, at height of probably not
less than 800 feet Now his strength
gives way, his presence of mind deserts
him, and, in another minute, the poor
man is seen fallingto the earth-an awful,
painful sight, filling with horror and
CONSERVATION the four or five hundred
spectators on the grounds. But the sus-
pense was only for moment, as it were;
he, who but little time before was in
the enjoyment of his faculties, had de-
scended to the earth, nearly in standing
position, from 800 feet in mid-air, until,
when near terra .1f,m0, he fell backward,
striking the ground with his back with
such force as to produce a conclusion
heard some distance away, and Mr.. Nc
Mann, Familiarity known as " Big Nike"
was dedd-utterly crushed, the blood
streaming from his mouth and nostrils-
leaving wife and several children who
depended upon the fathers labor for
living.

on fresh or recently worked soil, and the
harrow and wheel-cultivator, or gang
pillow, should be used in the spring, to
bring fall-plowed land into good condi-
ton for the seed.
Clay soils are more difficult to manage
IN fall blowing. Some are very largely
benefited, and others as decidedly injured,
in this way-much, of course, depending
on tt management When snow covers
the land through the winter, and the soil
soon dries off in the spring, little dam
age will be done but an open, wet Win
ter, and long spell of wet weather in
the spring, may leave clay soils in worse
condition than they would be if not
plowed in the fall. Having long been in
a kind of semi-mud or mortar state,
when good weather comes they dry down
to a hard, baked, crusty condition, and
are difficult to subdue and make fine and
mellow. This is more especially the case
on level lands, where the water cannot
readily run off when not too wet and
not down too smooth and close, clay lands
may be largely benefited by freezing in
the winter and early spring. Hence
plows that lay fiat burrows should not be
used in fall blowing such land, but the
burrows should be well lapped-well set
up-so as to expose large portion to the
frost. Then there will be chance for
the water to run off under each furrow,
and if there are sufficient water burrows
and outlets, the soil may be made fine and
mellow by the frost. Sward lands are
best calculated for this purpose, and are
also more generally benefited by fall plow-
ing when thus managed.
1t is very important to get the water
well drained from clay lands that are fall
plowed. 1t seldom does plowed land
much good to have water stand on it, but
it is more especially injurious to clay
soils. Nor should it stand in the fur
rows, and thus keep the plowed soil satu-
rated. But the water burrows and bitches,
if any bitches are needed, should bemade
and located so as readily to take all the
water out of the dead burrows and low
places in the field. Indeed, fall-plowed
clayey lands should have the water
about as thoroughly taken off as would be
necessary if they were sown to winter
grain. Then the land may not only be
benefited by the freezing, bat it will be
much sooner dry and ready to work in
the spring. This gain of time in the
spring will very generally pay, in for
warding the work, as well as in increased
crops, for all trouble in taking off the
water. Indeed, it pays on all soils to get
the land dry and ready to work as soon
as possible in the spring.-C0aqatqy Gen.
He71Gn.

Fall Flowing.

In sections where spring crops are
grown to any considerable extent, fall
blowing is an important and very neces-
sary part of farm work. All spring-sown
crops are much better for early sowing,
and there are few seasons when they
would not be the better for being sown
during the first week after the land is dry
enough to work. This, in most cases,
may be done if the land is we'll fitted in
the fall; while to plow, fit, and sow the
same land in the spring, may take nearly
a month. And then, in nine cases out of
ten, the first sown viii give much better
crops than that last put in. Barley espe-
cially should be sown early; good farmers
say that if not sown early, it had better
not be put in, but the land be put in some
other crop. Spring wheat and oats are
also very generally better when sown
early.
And then, when crops can be sown
early, it gives work good start, which
may be kept all through the season. If
the sowing is done early, there is more
time to prepare land and plant early also.
Then with early sown and planted crops,
harvest comes earlier, and there is more
time to get all the work done in good sea-
son. This also gives time to pillow and fit
land for the next seasons crops.
Fall blowing is more especially adapted
to all of the sandy and gravelly soils and
loans, as all such lands are less liable to
be affected by good deal of open, wet
weather. Retaining, in great measure,
the condition in which they are left by
the pillow, they are easily brought to fine
filth in the spring, and soon made ready
for the seed. In many cases, particularly
where the snow has remained on the land
through the winter, or the winter and
spring have been dry, the seed is sown on
the burrows and well narrowed in. But
there should always be fine, mellow
seed bed, and land should be only sown
on the furrow where this can be secured.
Besides, it is very generally best to SOW
