Plaster Oh Potatoes.

Mr.. A D. Compton, of Hawley,
Pennsylvania, in his essay on the culti-
walton of the potato, which received the
800 prize awarded by Mr.. Wells,of the
american AgrtculturiSt, Mr. Fuller, of
Hearth and Home, and DIR. Hexamer,
speaks as follows of The beneficial effects
of plaster: Astonishing results are OBJ
tanned from plaster, by dusting the vines
with it as soon as they are through the
soil; again Immediately after the last
plowing and hoeing; and at intervals
through the whole growing season.
TIA first application may be light,
the second heavier, and after that more
bountiful, say two hundred pounds
to the acre. The action of plaster is not
easily explained, but the results are un-
doubtedly beneficial, particularlyin in sea-
sons of extreme drought. 1t renders
plants less palatable to insects, and ap-
pears to be fatal to many of the fungi
family. The vines retain bright, live
ly green color, and the tubers continue
swelling until growth is stopped by the
frost; besides, potatoes thus grown are
so sound and free from disease as to be
easily kept for the Spring market, with
out loss by rot. Mr.. Compton has seen
a ield ,all planted with the same variety,
at the same time, on one-halfof which,
that had received no plaster, the yield
was but go bushels per acre and many
rotten; while the other half, to which
plaster had been applied in the manner
above described, yielded 800 bushels per
arce, and not an unsound one among
them.

A Beautiful Tradition.

There is a beautiful tradition in re-
gard to the location of Solomon's
Temple. The spot was owned by two
brothers, one of whom had q family,
the other had none. One evening in
havest time, when the wheat was
bound in bundles and laid into heaps,
the elder brother said to his wife,
"My brother is not able to bear the
burden and heat of the day; will
arise and take my sheaves, and with
out his knowing it lay them beside
his.'
The younger brother, moved by the
same benevolent impulses said within
himself, "My older brother has a
family, but | have not; / will contri.
to his support. ! will arise, and without
his knowledge, lay my sheaves beside
his"
Who can conceive their mutual az,
tOnishment, when, on the following
night, each of them found his sheaves
again as if they had not been removed.
This was repeated several nights in sue
cession, till they both resolved thai
the secret must be unraveled. Sc
said, so done. The next night they
met halfway, each with his arm full o
sheaves.
On the spot sanctified by such afiec
tion, Solomon's Temple was erected; ,
building so splendid and magniflcen
that it became one of the wonders Q
the world.

Liquid Excrement.

How strangely we overlook the value
Of the liquid excrement of our animals!
A cow, under ordinary feeding, fur
nishes in year 20,000 pounds of solid
excrement, and about 5000 pounds of
liquid. The comparative money value
of the two is but slightly in favor of the
solid. The statement has been verified
as truth, over and over again. The urine
of herbivorous animals holds nearly all
the secretions of the body which are
capable of producing the rich nitrogen.
GUS compounds so essential as forcing or
leaf forming agents in the growth of
plants. The solid holds the phosphoric
acid, the lime and magnesia which go
to the seeds principally but the liquid,
holding nitrogen, potash and soda, is
needed in forming the talk and leaves.
The two forms ofplant ntnutriments tshould
never be separated or allowed to be
wasted by neglect. The farmer who
saves all the urine of his animals, doub
les his manurial resources every year.
Good seasoned peat is of immense SER
vice to farmers, when used as an alb
sorbent, and the stall for animals should
be so constructed as to admit of wide
passage in the rear, with generous pas.
sage room for peat, to be used daily
with the excrement. t.-Boston Journal OF
Chemistry.

When Should Pigs BE Weaned,

The Field and Factory gives the fol-
lowing answer to the above question;
Eight weeks old is the best age.
Seven weeks will do. They should be-
come accustomed to food such as is or
dinarily given to hogs before weaving,
and then there will be no need of any
loss in growth from theloss of the moth
er's milk. If they are at all inclined to
scour, one of the best preventives is an
occasional days feed of whole corn, or a
few kernels with their other food each
day. They. should have all they will
eat, and the growth will generally pay
at least fifty per cent. over and above
the cost"

time amply repay, Improperly applied
to corn or any kind of vegetables. A
hennery of inch matched boards, floor
of coal or wood ashes, six inches deep,
property lighted and ventilated, in
dry location, and there remains but
little care to produce profitable returns.
My practice is, and has been for several
years, to have q box of corn accessible
at all times, so made that the grain falls
into small trough as eaten, and cannot
be fouled. In the morning give wheat
screenings, which have been soaked in
water over night, sufficient to last them
half or two-thirds the day. In freezing
weather, l pour boiling water on the
feed half an hour before feeding. / am
satisfied wheat screenings should always
be wet, and after standing to allow the
grain to swell, the water poured off
and fed. This destroys the poisonous
dust and smut that always accompany
screenings. No feed for fowls is equal
to wheat screenings. I give my fowls
the offal from the kitchen, clean water,
butchers scraps three times a week,
and they are free from disease. Forty
pullets, and thirty hens eighteen months
old, have laid $50 eggs in January past,

TWO PILLS A DOSE.
The most Poioerful, Yet Innocent,
Vegetable Cathartic k,aoi0a.

II Is not necessary to take q handful of these
Pills 10 produce the desired elect; two OF them
act quickly and powerfully, cleansing the Liver,
stomach and Bowels of all Impurities. The
principle ingredient Is Podophyllin, or the Alco-
holic Extract OF Mandrake, which Is by many
times more powerful, aoting and searching than
the Mandrake itself. Its peculiar action is upon
the Liver, cleaning II speedily from all obstruc-
tions, with all the power of Mercury, yet free
from the injurious results attached to the use Of
that mineral.
For all diseases In which the use OF O cathartic
is indicated, these pills will give entire satsfao
tion in every case. They NEVER FAIL.
In cases OF Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia and
extreme costiveness, DR.. Hoohands German
Bitters or Tonic should be used IL connection
with the Pills. The tonic effect OF the Bitters or
Tonic builds mp the system. The Bitters or Tonic
purifies the Blood, strengthens the Nerves, REG
ULATEs the Liver and gives strength, energy
