How a Farmer May Lose Money.
By not taking a good home paper. .

By not taking good home paper. O.
Keeping no account OF home opera
tons.
Paying no attention to the good max
im-s'a stitch in time saves nine"-in re-
gard to sowing of grain and planting OF
grain at the proper time.
Leaving reapers, plows, cultivators,
etc., uncovered from the rain and sun.
More money is lost in this way than
mostpeople are willing to believe.
Permitting broken implements to be
scattered over the farm until they are
irreparable. By repairing broken imple-
ments at the proper time, many dollars
may be saved-a proof of the assertion
"time is money" 'ef 4-4.'a. ,~@..' r. e
Attending the auction sales and purchas-
ing all kinds of trumpery, because, in the
words of the vendor, the articles are sold
'cheap."
Allowing the fences to remain unre-
paired until strange cattle are either
found grazing in the meadow or grain
fields, or bruising the fruit trees. 7ia-I
Disbelieving the principle of rotation
of crops before making the experiment.
Planting fruit trees with the expecta-
ton of having fruit without giving the
trees more than half the attention re-
o1ired to make them profitable.
Practical economy by depriving stock
of nroper shelter during the winter, and
Giving them unsound food, such as rotten
and mouldy hay or fodder.
Keeping innumerable tribes of rats on
the PREMISES, and two or three lazy dogs,
that eat more in month than they are
worth in a life time.

The Lobster.
RY A Roy,

BY A BOY
WHEN lobster shakes hands with you
YOU always know when it takes hold, and
is exceedingly pleased when it gets done.
They have small features, ana lay no
claim to good looks. When they locomote,
they resemble small boy shutting off in
his fathers boots. They are backward,
very. They even go ahead backward.
They occasionally have row like people,
and in the melee lose a member, but have
the faculty of growing out another. The
process is patented both in this country
and Europe, which accounts for not com
ing into general use with the human lob
ster, so to speak.
A lobster never comes on shore unless
he is carried by force. They are afflicted
with but one disease, and that is bolls.
There ismore real excitement in harpoon-
ing a whale, or in having the measles,
than there is in catching HOLSTERS.
The fisherman provides himself with a
small hen-coop, and places IN 1t Tor en-
TIGERS several dead fish. He then rows
his boat to the lobster ground (Whlch IS
water) and sinks his coop to the bottom,
and anchors it to small buoy, Zone from
eight to ten years will do), and then goes
home. When he feels like it again, say III
the course of week or so, he goes back
and pulls his poultry house, and if he has
good success he will find the game inside
the coop.
AS an article of food, the real goodness
of the lobster is in the pith. Very few
persons relish the skin, aud physicians
say it is hard to digest. We, therefore
take the lobster and boil it until it is
ready to eat. Nothing is better for colo
than boiled lobster. 1t will bring on &
case when cucumbers have failed For &
sudden case, we advise them crumbled il
milk. Eaten at the right time, and ir
proper quantities, Holsters stands second
to no fruit known. +s 4a #.r'

Potatoes.

We have all observed the great dete-
rioration in our potato crops during the
past ten or twenty years, and what is the
cause of this alarming decrease of tubers?
Can science or chemistry point out the
reason, or aid in remedying the diff
Guilty? We think it CAM and, in order
to place the matter in a clear light, we
will point out the kind and amount of
food which the potato demands.
We had field of potatoes upon the
farm which yielded 300 bushels to the
acre; this may be regarded as an old
fashioned crop. This crop removed
from the soil, in tubers and tops, at
least 400 pounds of potash; also it re-
moved $50 pounds of phosphoric acid.
Now these amounts are very large, and
serve to show that the potato plant is a
great consumer of the two substances,
and it also shows that in order to restore
our potato field to it's former productive
condition, we must apply phosphate
compounds and substances holding
potash in large quantities.
For six or eight generations in New
England our fathers have been exhaust
ing the soil by removing these agents in
their potatoes and other crops, and we
have reached time when the vegetable
is starving in our fields for want of its
proper food. Our farmers have found
that new land gives the best crops, and
this is due to the fact that such fields af-
ford the most potash; but so long as we
crop our pastures so unreasonably, we
cannot resort to new land, as land is not
new that has had its potash and phos-
phatic elements removed by grazing
animals.
Remember that potato field which
gives but 100 bushels to the acre requires
at least 100 pounds of potash, but by al
lowing the tops to decay upon the field
sixty pounds of this is restored to the
soil again, as that amount is contained in
them; medium crop of potatoes re-
quires twice as much phosphoric acid
as a medium crop of wheat, so that in
two years, with wheat, the land is de.
loses in one year with potatoes. Boston

Lampas.

THIS term is us ed to designate swell
ing of the bars or roof Of the mouth,
caused in young horses by cutting the
teeth; and with young horses and colts, as
with children, the Inflammation varies,
sometimes causing great suffering. In
deed, colts are oftentimes much relieved
by cutting down to the young tooth, as is
practiced on the human subject; for often
the great tenderness of the affected parts
causes the animal to refuse its food alto
gether.
When this species of inflammation is
discovered, or even suspected,a thorough
examination of the mouth should be
made, and the loose teeth, if there be any,
must be removed. The swelling of the
bars of the mouth will thereafter subside
without further trouble, and the animal
will resume his food as usual. A sharp
pocket knife is as good for this purpose
as any, gauging the blade with the thumb
to prevent piercing too deep. After lane
ing the gums, the mouth should be
washed with solution of tincture OF
myrrh-say an ounce to half pint OF
water-ori if this is not at hand, little
alum dissolved in water may be substl-
tuted. While the mouth continues sore,
give soft food, as bran mashes, faxseed,
Indian meal, and in summer, grass.
Generally in week or ten days the an
imal will be able to eat as usual.
The practice of burning the bars of the
mouth with hot iron, as is usual with
many farriers, should never be allowed,
since it aggravates the trouble, and in
deed often destroys the functions OF the
parts operated upon.
In case of old horses troubled with a
swelling or falling Of the bars, as it is
sometimes called, which may be pro-
duced from a variety of causes, the parts
should never be burned. Rubbing with
some hard, smooth substance, or bleeding
slightly, will generally remove the diff
Guilty. The mouth should be examined
for ulcers or sores, which are often caused
by the bit, in breaking or driving. Tine
ture of myrrh will generally heal the III
GERS. A thorough examination to fine
the real cause of the ailment, will often
save much useless pain to the animal, and
undue trouble to the Western
Rag9GZ.

A French ROmancer.

OUR own newspapers, says AppZetOn's
Journal, enterprising and inventive as
they are, do not inform us of all the sur
prising things that happen in this, coun-
try, as, for example, witness the follow
ing from the Paris Figaro:
at is known that the road from San
Francisco to New York passes through
the reservations of several tribes of In
dams, who invariably regard the locomo-
tives as terrible monsters created by the
ManitOu to exterminate the red man.
Several times already the Indians have
attempted to throw the trains OFT the
track. In these enterprises they were
led by one of the fiercest OF their chiefs,
a Cherokee named Naha, and surnamed
the Mocking- Bird. All their attempts hav
ing failed, Naha resolved to change his tao
tics. Accordingly, on the I'd of June
last, he concealed himself near the rails,
and, with extraordinary activity, bounded
upon the footboard of the train No. 81,
from San Francisco to New York. He
then slipped along the train until he
reached the locomotive, where he killed
the fireman with blow of his tomahawk,
stabbed the engineer with his knife, and,
after scalping them, jumped on the ten
der, brandishing the scalps, and
bowling out savage war-song. The
settlers along the line became terrified as
they saw the train, which now dashed
along at a fearful speed, driven by the
ferocious engineer. The passengers all
cried out for help. Their situation was
extremely perilous-in fact, they were
running into the jaws of death. Finally,
an officer of the navy, Henry Pierce, de-
tefmined to sacrifice himself to save his
fellow passengers. Armed with a long
dirk knife, he ran along the foot-board of
the train and jumped upon the engine.
The chief uttered a war-cry and bran
dished his tomahawk, and a hand-to-
hand struggle was commenced over the
bodies of the engineer and fireman. The
passengers put their heads out of the
windows, and, with an anxiety which
may easily be imagined, tried to see the
fight. In about minute Mr.. Pierce fell
mortally wounded under Mocking-Bird
who, in the twinkling of an eye, scalped
him. But, while he was triumphantly
waving the scalp of his victim in the air,
Mr.. Pierce, who was still lying, had suf-
ficient strength to jump up and lunge his
knife into the Indians breast, killing him
instantly. He then crawled to the valve
handle, shut off the steam, and the train
stopped. The passengers ran to the
assistance Of this brave officer, but it was
too late; he died two hours afterward.

Our Bodily Infirmities.

Physical infrmities the lot of ALL Millions are
| always sick. No man, woman child is uniformly in
perfect health. Much, however, of the sickness and
suffering which render life burden to many of our
fellow beings is due to carelessness and neglect. A
mighty antidote to the leading of disease has
been provided 1t is harmless it is efficient. No
poisonous drug enters into its composition. 1t is
indebted stimulant, tonic and aperient, of which
every ingredient is vegetable This unexceptionable
preventive and restorative medicine is not "a new
thing under the sum-" Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will soon have been before the world quarter of
century, and it is not too much to aver that thou
sands aye, tens of thousands, are now using it who
would have been in their graves years ago had they
not been strengthened and sustained by this whole
some stimulant. The rapidity with which minor all
ments often become, when neglected, obstinate dis
eases, is well known This tonic is famous for the
immediate check which it gives to these breeders of
deadly disorders The sensation of anguor, the sick
headache the nervousness, the indsposition to
ton. the nausea the confusion of the brain, the
physical debility which intended to premonish
us of the approach of serious danger invariably
removed by few doses of the Btters. The fame of
the preparation a genuine specific for dyspepsia

chronic debility is as wide the world and in these
DAYS of Infamous charlatanism, when fierce cathar-

CLOTH FOR A BAKER-Dough-skin.


ADDING Poison TO POIsON.-There is
no disease in which the blood is not more
or less impregnated with unwholesome
matter, and the direct inevitable effect of
all preparations containing spirituous ex-
chants is to increase the volume of poison
in the veins, and thereby aggravate and
prolong the malady. Hence it is that
dyspepsia, bilious fever, cholera-morbus,
lung complaints, govt, dropsy, rheuma-
tisfn, nervous disorders, and cases of
general and local debility, originally mild
in type, are frequently rendered chronic
and dangerous by dosing the sufferers
with the alcoholic bitters advertised as
medicinal stimulants- AS a counterblast
to the c0nardS put forth by the proprie-
tors of those pernicious compounds, the
plain, honest, philosophical statements of
DIR. JOSEPH WALKER, relative to the ma
ture and effects of his CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs, are doing world of good.
He has opened the eyes of the public to
the important fact that pure vegetable
tonic and Alternative, unpolluted by alco'
hol if not an absolute specific for every
variety of disease, is the nearest approach
to it yet attained. His VINEGAR BITTERs
are unquestionably working such wonders
in affections of the stomach, bowels,
nervous and muscular systems, and the
glands and respiratory organs ~,

and remember that bullet Will be the
cost of any attempt to escape. Go on !"
The man hesitated moment; but, see
mo that she meant what she said, he sui
lenly started.
With a revolver in her hand, Moll fol-
lowed few steps in the rear. Once he
turned quickly, as if to grapple with her
and disarm her, but the CLEAN of the re-
volver aimed at his head, changed his
mind, and he sullenly started on again.
Knowing that death awaited him at the
shanty, still he lacked the courage to
make the only possible effort for liberty
Daylight came as they neared the cabin,
and both could hardly drag themselves
along; but not word was spoken. AS
the Gu1ch became lighted up, Mollie saw
a crowd of miners take the path from the
shanty.
"My God p cried Mollie, ''they are
taking Jack out to hang him!"

she we'll knew the promptitude OF Doraer

He turned and sprung toward her, but
she was ready with weapon. A shot rang
ont. and one of the murderer's arms
dropped powerless at his side. Without
a word he resumed his march, hurried
on by his determined captor.
Meanwhile, the moose was put around
Jacks neck, the rope thrown over limb,
and a score of hands lifted the unfortu'
nate man from the ground. There being
no fall, his neck was not broken, and his
feet had barely left the ground before he
saw Mollie and her captive in the distance.
Wrenching his hands from their fasten-
ings, he pointed frantically toward her
and then strangled into unconsclousness.
The miners turned and the strange spec
tacle stayed their work.
"Let him down minute" said one
who seemed to be master of ceremonies.
They did so, and Moll staggered into
the circle. The revolver dropped from
her now nerveless grasp, and she totteTed
as if about to fall. ....-.., l..,-7...,
