Ashes as a Cattle Feed.

One of our substantial subscribers, in
a recent conversation, gave his expert
ence in training neat stock affected
with the habit of eating we, d, chewing
bones, etc. His cattle were one spring
affected this way; they became thin in
flesh, refused to eat hay, and presented
q sickly appearance. He had no inn
preston that their food lacked the con.
stituents for making bone, but his
neighbors used bone meal without
noticing any good result whatever. AT
last he put about four bushels of
leached ashes in his barnyard, and
threw out to them about a shovelful
each day. They all eat as if with evil
dent relish. After turning them olt to
pasture, he put one peck of dry ashes
per week on the ground in the pasture.
They ate all up, and gnawea off the
grass where it had been lying. The
cattle began to improve, gaining flesh
and looking better than they had done
for several years. He says this morbiu
appearance was unnoticed years ago,
from the fact that the ground was new
and ashy from the burning of the woods
and land clearings. Latterly he gives
one quart of ashes, mixed with the
same quantity of salt. to twelve head Of
cattle about once a week.-Live Stock

Useful Recipes.

AN ECONOMICAL FIRE KINDLING is
made in Paris by dipping corn cobs in a
mixture Of melted resin and tar, and

To MAKE OLD BUTTER FREsH.-Knead
with lime water or very diluted solu-
ton of washing soda. Simply washing
in water is often perfectly efhcacious.
To PREVENT GLUE BECOMING SOUR AND
MoLpY.-The addition of "a quantity OF
carbonate of soda, just sufficient to give
a strong smell to the glue, will accom-
plish the desired result.
CHICKEN CHEEsE.-Boil two chickens
till tender; take out all the bones and
chop the meat fine season to taste with
salt, pepper and butter; pour in enough
of the liquor they were boiled in to
make it moist. Mold 1T in any shape
YOU choose, and when cold turn out
into slices. 1t is excellent for travelling
lunch.
To CLEAN GOLD CHAINs.-Put the
chain in a small glass bottle, with warm
water, little tooth powder, and some
soap Cork the bottle, and shake it for
a minute violently. The friction

"God, / believe, has instilled into the
roots and plants from which this won
derful medicine is extracted the heal
ing properties, by the use of which Con-
sumption, the scourge of the human
family, may in its early stages be
promptly arrested and permanently
cured. do not wish to delude, hatter
and then disappoint the afflicted by as.
sorting that this can be accomplished
when the lungs are half consumed, as
many do who, being devoid OF all con-
science, aim to humbug the afflicted,
that they may sell their often worse
than worthless compounds. But if my
Golden Medical Discovery is employed in
the fist or early stages of the disease,
know, from ample observation and actual
test in hundreds of cases, that it will ar
rest the disease and restore health and
strength" GIG

An Ithaca paper states that Jonathan
w. Day, of Tilton county, Ohio, has in.
vented machine for getting the lard
out of hogs. The old-iashioned way Of
killing them and filling stout steam
boiler full of them, say hundred at
time, was too slow; and besides it sat
urates the lard with steam, SO that its
market value in England is two cents
pound below that OF lard tried out in
the ordinary way. Mr.. Days machine
seizes the hog by the hind legs, when
two knives, in less than the hundredth
of a second. eviscerate the animal. The
rapidity of the process is such that ere
is absolutely no pain felt, but rather
pleasurable surprise to the hog. Then
the eviscerated hog is thrown by a
steel cam-lever into chamber of
mixture of hydrochloral, carboline and
ether, in vapor, which stops the flow
of blood, and produces painless stu
por; and lastly, the hog is carried into
hot air chamber, when by high heat
the lard is extracted dry and falls into
barrels. Strange as it may sound, this
novel machine, when running at 300
revolutions a minute, dispatches hogs
at the rate Of two a second, as 900 hogs,
each weighing GO pounds, have been
put through the machine in just seven
hours and half. Mr.. Day offers the
right to use his machines at reasonable
rates

Scientific COfTee.Makipg.

Prof. Lisbig, tie German chemist,
says good coffee should be such in two
principles, extract and aroma. When
boiled long time coffee is rich
i'm extract but deficient in aroma !;
and when boiled only short
time it is rich in aroma but de-
ficient in extract. In order to obtain
both of these properties Prof Liebig
directs us to take two-thlrds of the
ground coffee needed for the meal, put
Il in the water and boil briskly con.
siderable time, and when the meal is
near,y ready, take the coffee from the
fire and add the remaining third Of
ground coffee; stir it well, let it stand
a few minutes and serve.
The above directions will not avail
much if the coffee is not properly roast
ed. Roast often, and in small quaint.

Immense Wheat Fields i'm California.

There are three wheat fields in San
Joaquin valley, with areas respectively
of $4,000 acres, % 600 acres, and 1900
acres. On the largest of these farms
the wheat crop this year is reputed to
be equal to an average of 40 bushels to
the acre, the yield running up on some
parts of the farm to 60 bushels. The
product Of this farm for the present
year is / ,440 600 bushels. The bound
airy on one side of this farm is about II
miles long. At the season of blowing
ten four horse teams were attached to
ten gang plows, each gang having four
plows,-or forty horses with as many
plows were started at the same time,
the teams following in close succession.
Lunch or dinner was served at mid
wa. station, and supper at the terminus
of the field, seventeen miles distant
from the starring point. The teams re-
turned on the following day. The
wheat in this immense field was cut
with twenty OF the largest reapers, and,
we believe, has now all been thrashed
and put in sacks. 1t would require
forty ships of m -dium size to transport
the wheat raised on this farm to a for.
eign market. Even the sacks required
would make large hole in the surplus
money of most farmers. We have not
the figures touching the product of the
other two farms but presume that the
average is not much below that of the
first. There are thousands of tons OF
wheat which cannot be taken out of the
valley this season, and must remain
over, dead capital, or, what is nearly
as undesirable, will only command adj.
vances at heavy rates of interest.-.San

JUST TAKEN HIS BlTTERs.-We heard a
seedy looking individual with an alarm
inply red nose remark to a brother
soaker that he had "just had his bit
ters, but he did not mind taking an
other nip" His remark suggested a
train of reflection. How was it, we
asked ourselves, that the word " Bit
tiers" had grown to be synonym for
gin, whisky, rum, and other alcoholic
stimulants, to which it was applied in
discriminatory BitteIs, we reasoned:
suggested the idea Of healthful tonic,
not Of poisonous stimulant something
invi gorating TO the system, not an alco-
holic rritant, full of fusl oil, producing
present intoxication and ultimate insanity,
idocy, or premature death. Moreover, our
id0a of bitters was totally irreconcilable with
"gin cocktails, "rum punches, and brandy
smashes," which, we are informed, are sweet
ened with sugar, and rendered doubly injuri-
GUS with essences colored by N cans of mineral
poison. This was bitter-sweet with ven
geance. We mentioned this problem to
friend. He solved it by exclaiming: Why.
don't you know that most Of these bitters adj
vertised as remedies are only drains in dis
guise? Topers know it if you do not. L must

Fruit should constitute part of the
products of every farm, and a portion
of the consumption of every family, but
there are some lands especially adapted
to fruit, such as hillsides, broken re.
gions, dry and rolling tracts. We OBJ
serve in almost every part of the coun'
sry much land made, as it were, for
fruit. There is no way in which such
can be SO profitably cultivated as to
plant 1t wholly to fruit-it may be
made to yield double and sometimes
a treble crop annually. BY setting 1T
out first to the larger fruits, as the
peach, apple, pear, cherry, plum, etc,
not very near together, good orchard
may be secured in few years.
In the meantime the same ground
can be covered with small fruits, such
as blackberry, strawberry and raspber-
ry, which can be made to produce well
in two or three years; a gooo crop OF
small fruits is exceedingly profitable OF
itself. To this may be added, in q few
years, larger fruits, which, in all
markets, find a ready sale. We know
can orchard of eighteen acres thus cult
waited which yields net profit of seve-
if no harm befalls the fruit, and it
brings anywhere near the usual price,
it cannot be less than eight or ten thou
sand dollars.
But this orchard has the advantage
of being near the city, so that its pro-
ducts can, be marketed every day as fast
as it ripens. In the case OF orchards
away from market the fruit may be
canned or dried. Canned fruit is now
an article of comm, rec that always
finds ready sale at high price. The
work Of canning is simple, and may be
safe and certain. Winter fruit may be
transported considerable distance and
still be sold at profit. This is a kind
|. of agriculture that in years to come is
to receive much attention and be car
ried to great perfection; those who are
first ia it will be leaders in great en-.
terprise.
This fruit culture we regard as a
pleasant and profitable work; the world
needs fruit; its health and happiness
demand it. How much better that
fruit take the place in hospitality of the
beverages that load the table and the
sideboard. We look forward to a time
when fruit shall be SO plenty that, with
little expense, every family can be
amply supplied then cordials, jellies,
pleasant drinks, and foods can be fur
nished for all social occasions, which
may take he place of hurtful and dan
gerous drinks. Fruit is to be one of the
means of blessing the world so let the
trees be put out, and all preparation
be made to hasten the fruit area of the
world.-Erchanqe

According to M. Schadler only half the
quantity OF finely ground coffee is need
ed, in order 10 produce the same
strength of beverage obtained by the
erdin airy coarse ground article. If, af-
ter oriental fashion, the ground coffee
is crushed fine in mortar, only two.
fifths of the coarse is needed. Infu.
sion, boiling, or 6ltering through a
bag, all have the same result as regards
strength, except that by tiltering the
aroma of the coffee is better pre-
served.

How We Make Patents.

The inventive genius of the country,
as shown by the records of the Patent
Office. has had a most extraordinary
development within the past five years.
Up to 1850 the patents but once reached
1000 per annum. From that period
until 1860 no year showed 5000 patents,
while the average of the five years past
has been over $4,000 per year.
