Lassitudp and Debility.

The relaxation of nervous energy which
creates an indisposition to physical or men
tai effort, so strong as almost to amount to
positive inability, and which we term lassi-
tudo, proceeds from q variety OF causes.
Tho principal of these are constitutional
debility, heat Of the atmosphere, coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the
physical prostratlon consequent upon n
long illness. But whatever the cause. it
must be perfectly clear that If the nervous
system Is unduly relaxed, something is r0-
quired to brace 1t up. That something is
Hostetter's Bitters, which is universally
recognized as the most complete and speedy
recuperant OF the physical forces in exis-
ly demonstrated as to be n matter of posi-
live certainty and familiar knowledge.
that the Bitters will not only rehabilitate
the physique, iwhen shattered and wasted
by disease, but will also, If taken systemat-
ically. actually compensate the constitu-
tionally feeble frame for Its deficiency of
strength, and by enfuSiug new life into u
weak system, endow 1t with the health II
vigor which nature has denied it. The Bit
ters also enable the body TO resist the ener-
waiting influences of heat, humidity, and
changes from q temperatetO u hot climate.
Ii Is on these accounts specially to be rec
commended to ravelers and residents in the
torrid zone, and persons subjected TO abrupt
transitions in temperature.

Cling Harness.

Harness should be washed and
oiled once in six months after it is
commenced being used. If 1t IS
neglected for years, and becomes
hard, it is next to impossible to
make it soft and pliable rs harness
should be TO wear well and DO easy
for the horse. Harness leather is tan
ned from oak and hemlock-somc-
times from amixture Of both. Oak
makes the softest leather, and is
more durable and agreeable for har-
ness work, it being from one to four
pounds lighter in u harness of the
same appearance. To oil II harness
properly, take every strap apart, as
far as practicable, and pt in tub
of warm soap suds (if it soaks
through all the bottcr), thoroughly
wash, and with a stiff brush, or 9TH
erwise, remove all gum and dirt.
If any repairing is needed, now is
the time to do it. The best oil to
use is neatsfoot; if this cannot be
obtained, liver, or tanners oil, as it
is sometimes called, may be used.
I am aware that other oils or
greases are used, bnt l do not be-
lieve in their efficacy; at least Inev-
or knew q tanner to use other than
the oils named, and l used to be
conversant with the modes of man
ufacturing leather.
Upon o bench or board placed in
n handy position, lay out the strap
to be oiled straight, and with a
common paint brush apply the oil
to the entire surface and edges of
the strap. The appearance of the
harness will be benefited by the adj
dition of q little lampblack, and the
oiling should be commenced as soon
as the wator hiss dried from the out
side of the leather; at least the leath-
err should not be more than half dry
when the oil is applied. Now a
good freezo'of your wet or partially
wet leather will greatly tend to soft
en- your oflim.s neglected and stiff
ened leather, and add greatly to its
value. The principles are: freezing
wet leather softens it. and that the
oil goes in as the water goes out, just
what the currier aims to do in the
manufacture of the leath When
the harness is sufficiently dry, wipe
it off we'll with a cloth, to remove
the excess Of lampblack, buckle up,
and the job is done for six months.

Fire.

AS Water will quench fire, as Ice will al
lay heal and thirst, and as the rising sun
dlspels the damps and dews ofnight, so with
Mans1eld's Hungarian Balsam of Life, in
its specific action upon diseased tissues OF
the throat and lungs. The effects of this
wonderful remedy in many cases is almost
miraculous; living witnesses can be referred
to who were given up as hopeless by their
Physicians, and who are now enjoying the
best of health, some having gained in flesh
from forty TO sixty pounds: these cases
were considered In the last stages OF despair
with pulmonary disease.
The Hungarian Balsqm gives life to the
lungs, and heals the diseased membrane
which lines the air passages, inspiring hope
and comfort from the very first dose. Con-
sumptives and those threatened with lung
affections need not despair when this Rem
cdy can be obtained.

How He Looked.

A person in Maryland, who was
addicted to drunkenness, hearing q
considerable uproarin his kitchen
one night, had the curiosity to step
without noise to the door to know
what was the matter, when he
found his servants indnlging in the
most unbounded roars of laughter
at a couple of negro boys who were
mimickfng himself in his drunken
fts-as how he reelcd and staggcr-
ed how he looked, and nodded,
and hiccoughed, and tumbled. The
pictures which these children Of
nature drew of him, and which
had filled tho rest with such in
exhaustiblo mcrrimcnt, struck him
with SO salutary adisgust that from
that nighthe became q perfect sober
man, to tho Joy of his wife and
children It's a pity some other
men could not sec themselves i'm
itated in like'manner. 1t might do

one which had been neglected for

one which had been neglected for
many years, and which required an
immense amount oflabor to be met
a~morphosed into fertility and good
looks. 1 went on to the farm in the
spring with a young yoke OF oxen
and a pair of horses. There were
about ninety acres of cleared land.
With the horses we did the plow-
ing mainly, butithe oxen, with a boy
to drive, did most Of the narrowing,
and with them we bauled lime,
limestone, wood, hay, grain and ma
nure. In after years two yokes
were usued to advantage, particu-
larly when preparing to build, as
logs, lumber, lime, sand and stones
had to be hauled in large quanti-
ties.
Some of the advantages in using
cxen are these: They can be bought
for half the price horses can, and at
most of the work on a farm will do
as much US horses; they are less La
BILE to disease; they are more quick
ly geared and ungeared than horses,
and their fixtures cost nothing,
comparatively speaking, and with
care will last as long a. the farmer!
Yokes and chains are enduring arti-
cles. Oxen will keep well on good
hay and good pasture, and these are
all they need, except when worked
very hard. 49,.
A thrifty pair Of "three-year-olds'
will do a great deal of work and
grow better and more valuable till
they are six or seven, and will do
the work until they are nine or ten.
If fattened they can be disposed OF
go as to pay more than the original
cost, in addition to The cost of hay
and grain consumed, thus making q
clear profit to the farmer of several
dollars, besides furnishing him with
several loads of the best manure.
I have owned since I commenced
farming at least twenty yoke CT OK
en-, several of which were "three-
year-old' steers, broken on tho farm,
and have never lost one, nor never
lost q dollar in dealing in them.
During the same period, by acct
dent, mismanagement, and disease,
| have lost five valuable horses,
worth from one to two hundred dol
lars each.
Now, there are many men who
rent farms, work them to the shares,
and own farms partly paid for, who
can scarcely make both ends meet,
even when they work hard and econ
omise to the utmost. Taxes, rents,
and labor are high; interest, mechau.
les and store bills must be paid.
Having travelled this road myself, |
can, with the certainty that expert
ence may presumed to give, point
out to such a method by which they
will be enabled to escape from the
unpleasant dilemma Of working
hard and nothing. Use OK
Oh more and horses less.

Spring Chickens.

Very early spring chickens are
generally dear, and pay extraordi-
narily well for raising, and they are
much easier brought through the
cold weather of the latter part of
February and March than people
suppose, and as practical knowledge
is worth more than aught else, what
1 am going to say can be done, and
has been accomplished extensively
by the writer and his better half.
Having little birds, rather larger
than pigeons, sell for seventy-iive
cents each April and May, giving a
dollar per couple clear profit, is
making money fast enough to salts
fly reasonable people. The way to
do it is to have the hens all comfort
ably lodged in u warm roost by the
1st January. Have some nice, snug,
warmly situated nests in u place
near the roost for the hens to lay in,
and contrive that they can go to
and from it without going out into
bad weather, and if they have been
we'll fed they will be laying when
the new year begins, and if Brahma
blood is in them (half will do) they
will set by the end of the month
after Matching, put them in coops
which can be closed and made dark
by fastening up a front board-then
in bad weather the chickens can be
fed by letting down the board, and
be shut up again as soon as they
have eaten, which will cause the hen
to sit still and nurse them till they are
fed again ; have no bottoms to the
coops and rove every day, putting
dry fine st:aw, or any kind OF litter,
under the coop when the ground is
wet, but in moderate weather, or
whenever dry, let them be on the
sod. Keep the hen confined until
the chickens are q month old, unless
unusually mild, and let these coops
be on q slope facing the South, and
away from the haunts of the old
fowls. There are many days in
February when the chickens will
run around the coop picking blades
Of grass, &C., enjoying the sunshine,
which puts them in strong health to
bear closer confinement in cold
and during snow storms,
which, with these coops, do not
them at all and there will be
no dropping wings and no crying,
as there invariably is when little
are raised in glass hot
houses or in any kind of houses or
barns ; for in any of these places
they miss the fresh ground to be
daily moved on, and the fresh air
and sunshine which gives them on
appetite o~ut-of-doors which they
lose indoors, however spacious the
apartments may be. I have had to
dig the snow away from the coops
several times in one season, and
brush places for them to be placed on.
