We notice a curious assumption in all
these labour speeches hat what is called
the natural claw Of supply and demand"
fixes the prices of labour, and that no com
bination of labourers. could ever interfere
with capital "unreasonably." But what
is "unreasonably"? There is no claw" of
supply and demand, except what is con-
tanned in the breast of those who supply
and those who demand. If the Iabourers
can get funds enough, and choose to hold
back unanimously long enough, they
might condition for any proportion of the
product Of their labour, however large,
which would still leave the capitalist a
motive to pay them for their work. Trro
it would be far more worth their WINE
to employ such strikefunds directly and
productivity as capital of their own but
to this they have not trained themselves.
1t is quite iIlusory, however, to talk as if
the claw of supply and demand" were a
self-acting one, like the law of g%ravita-
ton.

The Oxfordshire Members are amongst
the few who have addressed their consti-
tuents this week, and even they had very
little to say, except that Parliament had
attempted too much, and consequently
done it badly. Mr.. Henley thought that
while everybody was talking of the pros
porous state of the nation, everybody was
fearing q catastrophe and in relation to
the strikes, he strongly advised public
opinion to leave masters and men alone,
and not NEEDLE between them. But he
broke his own rule by strongly recon-
mending both parties to do to others as
they would be done by. Colonel North
defended Mr.. Cardwell for allowing the
soldiers to get in the crops when the la
bourers struck,-an assumed fact Of which
it is said that Mr.. Gladstone has expressed
his doubts. Mr.. Cartwright also spoke on
the strikes,-indeed, this seems the only
subject on which it is possible to say a
word this autumn. Politics are nowhere
since Mr.. Disraeli has shown his fixed re-
luctance to attack.

To Measure Grain in n Bin.

A correspondent of the Rural Carroll
MAN gives the following rule: First get
the actual number of cubic feet, which
is done by multiplying the interior
length. breadth and depth together,
then eight-tenths of the cubic feet will
be the number of bushels that the bin
will contain, or eight-tenths of the cubic
feet of grain will be the number of
bushels. To get eight-tenths, multiply
the cubic feet by eight, place period
before the first right-hand figure, and
you have the bushels and the tenths of
bushels. If you measure corn on the
cob, allow one-half for the cob, SO that
four-tenths of the cubic feet will be the
number Of bushels of shelled corn.
Illustrate; Bin l0x10x10 feet; multiply
these together, product 1000; of which
sum eight-tenths or 0.S will be bushels,
and four enths or GA if corn in the ear;
that is, SEQ or 400 bushels, as the corn
may be shelled or on the cob.

Cure for WhOoping.Cough.

Mr.. John Grantham states in the
British american Journal that in cases of
whooping-cough in the last stage-that
is, after the third week-he has had one
ounce of the strongest liquid of ammo
MIA put into gallon of boiling water in
an open pan, and the steam kept up by
means of half brick made red hot
throughout and put into the boiling
water containing the ammonia, the pan
being placed in the center of room,
into VIII oh the patients were brought as
the ammoniated steam was passing off.
This method was used in the evening,
just before bedtime; and it has been SO
etficacious, he says, in abating the spas
modic attack, and after three or four
days terminating the nlalady, that he
cannot overestimate the great value of
this mode of inhaling the ammonia as a
therapeutic agent in tranquiling the
nervous system in whooping- cough.

Defend Your Health.

The fall of the leaves not only symbolizes human
decay. but promotes it. In other words the efiuya
from dying and roting vegetation is unfavorable to
health. To this and other causes-especialy excess
OF moisture in the atmosphere-may be ascribed the
prevalence ofscute disorders of thu .omach bowels
and liver at this season. Every person of bilious
habit is liable to be very bilious in the fall Then
too. all persons whose digestion is weak more
than ordinarily dyspeptic. and individuals predis-
posed to collie diarrhea and dysentery particu-

Carpet Mats or Rugs.

Girls, you all want to know how to
help adorn home; and carpet, be it
ever so common, saves mother and your
selves many a hard job of scrubbing
and cleaning. Now, you all, expect,
know how to make rag carpets. At
least, we judge so, from the nice letters
you write on that subject. So we take
method of making new carpets from
old wooden ones from HarperS Bazar.
No matter how faded, they may be
turned to good account by travelling out
the carpet, and, as you do SO, winding
it in balls. When this is done, have
ready some scarlet, blue, or green yarn,
which, if the colors of the carpet be
very dull, will help to enliven them.
Next take a long stick, like yard
stick, and wrap the rayeled yarn tightly
around it, interpreting it with a little
red and green all the way through :;
when the stick is full begin to sew it
along one edge, so as to secure it, and
then cut ii open on the other. Now do
another and another stickful in the
same way, until the carpet yarn is all
gone. A piece of strong crash will an
swer best as foundation for the rug we
are proposing to make out Of this, and,
having hemmed it at each end, begin
in the middle with tuft of bri ght col
ors, sewing the rest around on the
foundation as closely as possible, row
after row, until the crash is completely
covered; it may thus be made as large
as required, and can be trimmed to
make the tuft even. This will give you
very serviceable door-mat or rug, and
will wear as long as the old carpet has
already done.

Vermin on Stock.

A correspondent of the American Farm
journal writes: "To exterminate lice
from calves, colts, and other stock af-
ficted with them, take a good handful
of the Towering annual known as lark
spur, cut the stalks near the ground,
and steep tops and all in vinegar.
When cool, wash the animal thoroughly
in the liquid, so as to wet every hair,
and you will find one application to
destroy both lice and nits entirely, and
it is not injurious to the animal like the
use of sulphur, mercurial ointments,
etc. Should few of the vermin escape
the first application, second one will
thoroughly eradicate them"

Cutting Corn.

When the fodder is an object. corn
should be cut when the grain is suffi-
GENTLY nard, so that the kernels cannot
be broken by strong pressure between
the fingers, irrespective of frost, or the
earliness or lateness of the season; but
if frost intervenes before the crop is
ripe, it should be cut Immediately,
since the fodder is not only injured or
rendered worthless soon after being
killed by frost, but the corn is also seri-
ously injured, if not ruined altogether;
but il cut and shocked Immediately, it
still makes good feed, since the sap con-
tinues to ascend and partially natures
the grain.
To cut and shock corn properly, let a
hand 60 through the field making
tables regularly, and at proper distances,
by bending over and interlocking four
hills so they may form figure X.
Around these set the corn firmly and
carefully, pressing the butts to the
ground and the tops together, until
sufficient is placed for tying. This may
be done with cornstalk partially wilt
ed, or with bands of hay or straw. Much
time is lost and unnecessary exertion
expended by not attending to the most
economical performance of the work of
cutting and shocking corn. Many per-
sons cut and lay down the corn, to be
picked up again and placed in the
shock. Corn, once in the arms, should
always be carried directly to the shock
by the person who cuts it. The tables
being made, commence cutting so that
when the armful is secured you will be
near the place forming the shock, and
continue TO proceed thus until the shock
is completed. A little practice will
enable any of you to calculate with SO
much surety that but little time will be
lost in carrying the corn.
Much corn is injured by loose tying,
and also by tying too low down upon
the shock. The band should be placed
as high as possible and have it catch all
the stalks, and should be drawn as tight
as may be without breaking the bands.
If the whole work has been carefully
performed, there is but little danger that
the shocks will be blown over, however
violent the wind.
Unless the corn is needed for fodder
or caught by frost before ripe, we should
never cut the crop, since it takes much
longer to husk from the shock than
from the hill; besides, it is much easier
to take care of the stalks left on the
hill than after it is shocked. We may
add, however, there is nothing better
for wintering cattle or young horses, ano
especially mich cows, than good bright
corn fodder, and where forage is scarce
it is of great value to the farmer.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF.-
If railroad director were lashed TO
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and if doctors had to
take their own pbysic before admins
tering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. Dr.. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters, switch now rank as an inestimaple
household remedy in all parts of the
United States. He healed himself with
this specific before he offered it to the
world. He introduced it with q simple
statement of the manner in which he
had discovered its vegetable ingredients
and bsen cured, while wandering. sick and
poor among the California tribes. He stated
what the preparation had done for himself
and few sufferers from dyspepsia. bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and many
other prevalent disorders, believed him, tried
the new restorative and were more than salts
fed with the results. In this way the sale of the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention the
fact as an evidence that in this age of intelli-
gence and inquiry, nothing that's really valu-
able to mankind can prove pecunlary failure
even though it may lack the help of capital, and
have to fight its way against powerful oppos
ing interests. Within two or three months
after its introduction, the article became self
supporting. and it now Yields a magnificent
