what Spring Brings WITH II.

Regarded from a medical 81 dndpoint
Spring is not the deIectable season de-
scribed by Vernal poets. On I'll contrary,
its yield of intermittent fevers, biliOu at
tacks, rheumatic pains, disOrd grs of tue
stomach, nervous complaints, and pulmo-
nary diseases, is almost as large as its crop
OF ViOletS, SnOwdrops and cherry blossoms.
The invisible seeds of innumerable mala-
dies rise with the morning mlsts, and are
scattered broadcast by the VapOrs of night.
Who can resist their mephitic influence?
Certainly not the weak by nature, or those
whose nervous energies have been over
taSl1ed by mental or physical labor, unless
they tone and inVigorate their systems and
thus enable them TO cope with the un-
healthy influences by which they are sur
rounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this
object can be rapidly and safely accom-
piiShed, is the great vegetable TenOVant and
invigOrant, HOStetter's Stomach Bitiers.
The operation of this celebrated specific j.
fOur-fOld. It strengthens the digestive OTS
ganS. regulates the SGcretiOnS, improves the
condition of the blood, Superinduces a reg
ular habit OF body, and thereby impartS
such vigor and elasticity to the whole ply
steal structure, as to renuer it capable OF
resisting the action of the poisonous miaS-
ma, with which the spring atmosphere is
always to some extent impregnated. Here,
then, Is a ready and certain means of
escaping the disorders prevalent at this
season, or (if they have already fastened
upon the SyStem) of cOuQuering them
speedily and thoroughly. The flavor of n
medicine Is not of much consequence, pro
Vided IL does its work properly, but ct Hos
letters Bitters il may be fairly said, that
they effect cure without OuCraging the
patients sense Of taste.

Care Of Calves.

Many farmers keep calves on the
same kind feed as COWS and other
kinds of stock are kept upon, and
confne them In stanchions SO that
they will not waste their fodder. By
spring, IN this way, they often lose
more in flesh and growth than they
viii gain in all summer. Young
stock, such as calves and colts. need
a considerable exercise. It is lust
as impossible to keep calves confined
and have them do well, as it is for a
small child to sit still.
As good attention should be giyen
to calves and young stock as to
horses. They should have a sepa-
rate yard, plenty of bedding, and a
warm she'd to protect them from the
storms. But they must not be con-
fined in too close quarters. When
confined in stanchions, or stables,
they viii get lousy, ard very soon
grow weak and thin. Then it will
require large amount more of feed
to keep them through the winter
than it would have required if they
had been kept in good flesh and a
healthy condition from the first.
When they are kept in good flesh
all the winter, they are in good con
dition for turning out in the spring
and will continue to gain. But
when they barely pinch through the
winter it viii axe nearly all the mex
season to bring them into o thriving
condition, and consequently they
lose nearly a season s growth.-HhG

Cream Tor Milk Gravy.

I thought I would say good word
for "white gravy" as children often
call it. With them it is q great ia
orite as dressing for potato. It is
better for them than butter OF meat
with warm potatoes. Pork fat can
not be compared with it at all on
the score of healthfulness. Those
who use fat pork often make this
gravy in the some spider where the
pork has just been fried, thus sea-
soning it with pork. We make it Of
milk, thickened with -four, and sea-
soned with butter and 1t. For a
pint of gravy you want Il large
spoonful of flour, stirred smoothly
into half teacup of the cold milk.
Let the milk be boiling when this is
added, and kept constantly stirring,
or the gravy will be lumpy. If
cream is used instead Of milk no
butter is necessary. The milk
should be stirred while coming to
the boil to keep it from burning. It
is less likely to burn if u little butter
is melted in the spider before pour
ing in the milk.

God Here.

A man in Dayton, Ohio, not be-
Ieving there was any God had q card
printed with these words, "GoD Is
NOWHERE" and hung it up in his of
flee. He had little niece who was
very happy all the time. One day
she visited her uncle's office. After
playing a long time with everything
she could find within her reach to in
terest her, she began to look around
on the walls, and her eyes fell on
the card. Having just begun to read
writing, the letters were not so famil-
lar to her but that she had to spell
out anything that was written: So
she began to spell out aloud, Good
isis, n-o-w-h e-r-e-nowhere." She
could not understand that, and look
ing down upon the floor, repeated
the words. She thought she must
be mistaken. Then she commenced
again, so loud that her uncle, who sat
tt the desk, heard her. "G-o-d-
God. i-s-is, n-O-w-nOl0, here
here. That's right, she exclaimed,
looking round at her uncle. The ar
row had stuck. The more he thought
of it, the more appeared right to
him.

three times, at intervals of about a
week, so as to finish before they
come into flower; and if the season
be dry I find it absolutely necessary
to supplE literally with common wa

time of growth, their increased
activity will very quickly XIII them.
Independently of the quantity;
strawberries of equal size 1 never

gather a plate tull fit for exhibition.

4 Dangerous Practice.

A guest arrives. He appears well
dressed and tidy. He stays over
night, and occupies the regular BEST
chamber" with It's clean sheets and
pillow-slips. The mistress of the
house does all of her own work, or
she has a scant supply of bedding,
and it seems hard work to enlarge
her usual weeks washing By those
scarcely soiled sheets. So she puts
them on the children's beds, think
ing they will never know the differ
ence, and it won't hurt them at all.
In nine cases out ten this may be
true-but the tenth cas-! I do not
care to mention to Gears polite the
diseases that may be communicated
in this way, and sometimes by the
most respectable persons, who have
been contaminated in the same way
perhaps.

A Sweet Incident.


The following incident, reported
in the CoRgregatiOnaljst, occurred re-
Gently in n village where a revival is
in progress:
The pastor, at pray er-meeting,
requested all that were Christians to
go into a room by themselves, while
those interested in religion, but not
protesting it, were desired to remain
for a season of special prayer. One
by one Offered up short fervent petit
ton for the forgiveness of their sins
and for aid to live a life of holiness.
It was q solemn time, and it seemed
as if each one present must for him
self offer a prayer. At last n little
boy, of six years, with clasped hands
feryently repeated the Lord's prayer,
and was followed Immediately his
sister of three years, with Now I lay
me down to sleep When these
babes in Crist, in the simplicity of
childhood, had uttered their peti-
tons, the room was hustled, as if an
angels voice had been heard, and
not a soul remainded unmoved, all
feeling that they were at the very
doors of Heaven"

Crude Potash for Trees.

A neighbor of ours once had a APP
pie tree growing in rich soil, which
had never borne an apple, although
the tree was very large and thrifty.
One autumn he bought some crude
potash for soap making, and think
ing it to be poor quality, he threw
it under the tree. A c0pious rain
followed, dissolving the potash in
such quantity as seemed to threaten
the life of the tree. The leaves
withered and fell, but the next year
the tree bore abundantly. We once
had three apple trees which refused
to bear. although manured and
pruned. Remembering the above
incident, we poured a kettle of dilu-
ted I've under one cf the trees, and
scattered ashes and salt on the
ground beneath the other They all
bore somewhat sparingly the next
year. They might have done so
without the application. It should
be borne in mind that potash and
unleached ashes should be used care
fully about the trunks of trees and
the stalks of growing plants,-Pr9E

Manure for Strawberries.

A correspondent of The Gardeners
Chronicle who has been very Success
full in raising strawberries for Il num-
Der of years from the same bed, says:
"a fictitious manure of my own de-
vising having been very successful
with me, I beg to preface the re-
ceipe with some observations on n
cheap way of obtaining,a crop where
labor is scarce. I cover thebed with
straw at the beginning of winter, let
the young runners kill, and take the
place of old roots; whereby q deep
layer of humes is formed, just as the
in old grass land and by the same
procese. But I had n failure one
year and the next applied the dres-
sing just referred to, and the pro-
duce was such as I really believe
that if I could grow il accurately,
wonld be incredible.
Ny composition is: one pound
each Of Epson salts, Glauber's salt,
pearl ash, and carbonate of soda,
and one hslf pound of muriate of
ammonia to sixty gallons Of water
Last year I used large quantities Of
chloride an phosphate of lime and
nItre, instead of pearl ash; but I tried
the two in different parts of the bed
this year, and found no difference.

signs of growth in spring, watering

How to Raise Corn.

In reply to an inquiry in regard to
corn raising, a correspondent of the
Country Gentleman gives the follow
ing:
'EH. W. Nee" asks some one to
give his experience in corn raising.
In the first place, select the largest
and the earliest matured corn for
seed; hang up by che husk in dry
place or lay away for seed. Plow as
soon as the ground gels into order
for the pillow. I prefer blowing late
in the fall. As for loose ground, I
prefer having it plowed two or three
weeks before planting. Plow six
inches deep be sure, and manure all
the thin points. Harrow the ground
well. When ready to mark out,
mark feet 6 inches each way and
3 inches deep. Cover the corn two
inches deep, and thin out to three
stalks in a bill. 1 have raised 104d
bushels of shelled corn to the acre on
sod, planting in this way.
For raising one way my expe-
Gience is this: Mark your ground
east and west, 3 feet 6 inches apart;
leave two stalks in the ILL, IA inches
apart. Plant as early as the leaves
put out to half their natural size in
the spring. In this way of plant
ing, I have raised 129 bushels and 35
pounds to the acre on sod, though I
prefer marking both ways, because
1t is easier tended.
My experience in blowing is.
PlOw at least five times n week apart
and if the weeds and grass cannot be
kept down, use the hand hoe in the
start when the corn is small

Fifteen Great Mistakes.

1t is q great mistake to set up our
own standard Of right and wrong,
and judge people accordingly. It is
a great mistake to measure the en-
ioyment of others by our own; to ez-
pect uniformity of opinion IN this
world; to endeavor to mould all dis
positions alike; not to yield in i'm
material tritles; to look for perfection
in your own action; to worry our
seIves and others with what cannot
be remedied; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation, as far as lies in
our power; not to make allowances
for the infrmities of others: to con-
slider everything impossible which
we cannot perform; to believe only
what our finite minds can grasp; to
expect to be able to understand
everything. The greatest of all mis-
takes is to live only for the time,
when any moment may launch as in
to eternity.

Quantity of Butter in a Quart Of Milk

Every butter maker knows that
the milk Of some COWS is much rich
er III cream, or in butter producing
material, than the milk of another
COW; and the milk OF any COW either
good or poor, viii vary much in rich
ness, as the feed provided for the an-
imal is rich or poor in butter pro-
ducing elements. Hence it is not
practicable to designate how many
quarts or pounds OF milk are requi-
site to produce a given number of
pounds of butter.
Touching this subject, I. Salvin. of
Oneonta, n. Y, wrote that at their
creamery in Otsego county, during
the past season they made butter
