In answer to an inquiry as to which
kind, how much and when to apply
manure to strawberry plants, Moore's
Rural New Yorker says
/" We prefer old, well rotted, barn
yard manure. The quantity must be
determined from the character of the
soil, whether rich or poor, and the
amount you can afford. Twenty-Five to
one hundred two-horse loads may be
applied per acre. Apply enough to
make the soil rich, and of this you
should be the best judge. II you in
tend planting iil.the spring, put on the
manure the previous autumn, but if
this cannot be done conveniently, apply
early in the spring and pillow it under,
covering about four inches deep
Thoroughly harrow the land before
planting in other words put it into
as good condition as possible for the
reception of the plants. Extra fine
strawberries are only produced by ex-
ira culture. We have expended two to
three hundred dollars per acre in pre-
pairing land for Strawberries, and had
the first crop pay all expenses, leaving
the soil permanently improved.

WASHING AND ScRAPING. When the

PLANTING Whenever the ground is

conditions are favorable, the better

months later if properly heeled in last

HeIpfuI Hints for Housewives.

TEMPERANCE CAKE.-One cup of
sugar, one cup of sour milk, two cups
of flour, one teaspoonful of soda, one
tablespoonful of lard if you like.
A Coop LINn1ENT. of the very
best liniments that was ever made for
man or beast is composed of equal parts
OF laudanum, alcohol, and oil of worm
wood.
Lac VARNIsn is made of gum lac and
spirits of wine, frequently shaken till
the gum is dissolved, then strained
and decanted off. The lac ongbt to be
of the kind called seed lac, though for
vanishing ordinary woods shellac is
often used. sa
HATHEwAY CAKE. -Whites of three
eggs, one cup of sugar, onecup of -four,
one half cup of butter, one-haif cur of
milk, one cup of corn-starch, one-half
teaspoonful Of soda, and the same of
cream of tartar Bake with increasing
fire.
To PREVENT STOVES FROM RUsTING.-
Oil them with sweet oil. This does
hot make q bad smell when the stoves
are heated again. The stoves should be
very clean when the oil is applied. Coal
scuttles may be oiled with boiled lin
seed oil.
SWEEPING CARPETS Persons who
are accustomed to use tea leaves for
sweeping carpets, and find that they
leave stains, will do well TO employ
fresh-cut grass instead. It is better
than tea leaves for preventing dust, and
gives the carpet very bright fresh
tlook. .5aa
IsINGLAss JELnY.-Two ounces of
islnglass to to a quart of water; boil
TILL it is dissolved strain it INTO a

Success Based unOn Merit.

It is a subject of general remark,
among both wholesale and retail drug
gists that no medicine introduced to
the American Public has ever gained
such a popularity and met with so large
a sale IN all parts of the land, in the
same length of time, as has DR.. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery. This can
not depend upon its having been more
largely advertised than any other medi.
cine as such is not the case. The cor
rect explanation, we think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the
themost wonderful and perfect cures of
very bad cases of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most
perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds
of Coughs that has ever been introduced
to the public, and at the same time
possesses the greatest of blood I-,rify-
ing and strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to pro-
duce, thus rendering it a sovereign
remedy not only in the cure of Con
sumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the
liver and blood, as scrofulous diseases.
skin diseases, blotches, rough skin.
pimples, black specks and discolora,
lions. It has therefore wide range of
application and usefulness, and it not
only gives the most perfect satisfaction
to all who use it, but far exceeds the
expectations of the most sanguine,
thus elicting the loudest praise and it
making permanent Huing' advert sing
mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps
a druggist in all the vast domain of this
continent, who tries to please his custo-
mers and supply their wants, that does
not keep and sell large quantities of
this most valuable medicine. 500

Cure for Hoof Rot.

A veteran stock raiser gives in the
Rome N. Y. Sentinel the following as
a certain cure for hoof rot in cattle,
horses or sheep: I" One teacupful of
sharp cider vinegar, one and a.half ta-
blespoonfuls of copperas, one and a.
half tablespoonful of salt. Dissolve
gradually on the hot stove, but do not
let it boil. When cool, apply it on the
affected limb and hoof, and also swab
out the mouth of the animal with the
mixture. Two or three applications
usually effect cure. The remedy has
been used with perfect success since
1878.
