Horticultural Hints.
TFrom the Ohio Farmer-l

tHAom thc Ohio al AACA-I
We pick up our knowledge as the
fowl picks up the corn-a grain at a
time.
One pound of potatoes carefully cut
will make one hundred sets. These
will plant hundred hills that should
raise from two to three bushels,
Soak beets and carrot seed from
twelve to twenty-four hours before
sowing. This forwards termination
andshelps them to come up as quickly
as weeds.
Thin plants and vegetables sufficient
ly; they must have room according to
size. r.
Peas and corn may be forwarded by
soaking the seed. Keep damp and
warm. Do not plant peas twice on the
same ground the same or following
season.
Weeds should be collected and re-
moved from the ground; after being
pulled or hoed up, they often root and
grow. The best way is to burn them,
root and branch.
Tomato plants when set if over three
inches tall should be laid down and
covered except few inches of the top;
they will give better results. Keep
the ground rich.
TOpdress the ground which pump
kins and squash run over.
Spinach should be topdressed with
guano or composted droppings of
fowls. Cut above the crown and it
will produce successive crops.
Rhubarb needs rich soil and plenty
of manure about its roots; removed
to a dark cellar in autumn, covered
with good moist soil, produces good
stalks of nice flavor.
Squash, cucumber, melon and
pumpkin seed put in hills and covered,
will be forwarded by carefully pouring
on boiling water andturning over them
a box or vessel to keep the heat in. 1t
is especially good in late planting.
Eternal vigilance is the price of veg
etables.
The thumb and finger is the best
Squash bug" trap yet known. Dust
often with sulphur, air-slacked lime or
plaster; use on cabbage and turnip to
protect from feas.
Begin in season to make your garden
and be seasonable about all your oper-
atoms.
Dwarf popcorn planted in drills
eighteen inches apart, and thin, will
produce abundantly. When silking
sow early purple-top strap leaf turnip
between the rows.
Plants do not eat manure, they drink
the essence of it.
Drop few tomato seed with peas,
when the peas are removed thin to four
feet apart; they will come on rapidly
and make excellent late tomatoes.
Plant beets rather thickly; those
taken out when thinning make excel
lent greens.
In crIltivating with fork or rake work
backward to avoid showing footprints.
One large, strong eye left on potato
sets throws up one strong stalk and
gives large potatoes. Several stalks
give many small ones.
Four to six hills of cucumbers will
supply family. Plant for pickles in
July.

A DOOMED ENTERPRIsE.-The Suez
Canal is filling up with sand. This
news sounds like the death-knell of
the grandest monument of human en-
terprise and skill and patience. The
shifting sands of the desert will be the
destruction of the canal. If the an
nouncement proves true, the hundred
million dollars which the cutting of
isthmus cost-who may compute
its cost in human sweat and blood
has been sunk in shifting sand indeed.
If the accumulation of sand already
threatens to impede navigation, there
will be no such thing as Suez Canal
in few years hence. The company
which carried out the enterprise seem
to be anxious to get rid of the canal at
anything like reasonable or partial
return of it's outlay. For this purpose
the company has asked the Khedive
to purchase it. The Khedive, who
encouraged the work when in course
of construction, seems to have given
it up as losing speculation; and al
though the proposition is supported
by all the authority which recon-
mendation of a sultan to his vassal
may convey, the Khedive has refused
to have anything more to do with the
enterprise.

What the Doctors Saw:

Amos Woody VI. D., of Kosciusko county, In

Aliens Lung Balsam extensively in my practice,
and am satisfied there Is no better medicine for
lung diseases in use"
Isaac A. Doron, NJ. D., of Logan county, Ohio,
says: ALIENS Lung Balsam not only sells rapid
ly, but gives perfect satisfaction in every case
within my knowledge. Having confidence In IL,
and knowing that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties, freely use il in my daily practice, and
with unbounded success. As an expectorant il is
most certainly ahead of any preparation have
ever yet known"
Nathaniel Harris, M. D., of Middlebury, Yer
mont, says: q have no doubt it Will soon become
classical remedial agent for the cure of all dis
of the throat, bronchial tube and the lungs.
Physicians do not recommend medicine which
has no merit; what they say abou. Aliens Lung
Balsam can be taken as a fact. Let all afflicted
test il at once.

How to Live Long.

Sir Duncan Gibbs, in a paper read
before the British Association, on Cen
tenarian Longevity, makes some very
interesting statements, derived from a
comparison of four examples be had
seen himself. Of these four, two were
one hundred and three, one one hun
dred and one, and one one hundred and
two years old. Mr.. Gibbs found these
peculiarities in their bodily constitu-
ton:
l. The inexperienced the functions
perfectly in every case.
2. The blood was well circulated by
a strong heart to all parts of the body,
3. The chest was well formed and of
fair size. The cartilages of the ribs
were not Ossified.
4. The voice was clear, sonorous, and
powerful, though tremulous in two
cases.
5. The heart was healthy, and free
from fatty deposits.
6. The eyes were good, and the sight
excellent in every case, and no sense
except hearing was impaired.
Z. None smoked, chewed, or snuffed
tobacco.
8. The mind was active, and the
memory good.
8. The digestion in each case was ez-
cellent, and the teeth sound.
10. In each case the mind had been
throughout life composed and free
from care and distress.
The lessons drawn from these cases
is this-that if people wish to live a
hundred years they must have sound
bodies, and take care of them. In
other words, the body must receive
that intelligent attention it deserves,
and people must read and study the
laws of hygiene in order to obey them

TABLE FOR THE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF
COMMERCIAL MANURES.
In preparing this table, the acre has
been reduced to yards of rO,o. Taking
the three usual widths of rows In which
cotton is planted in the Southern
States, We find that rows three feet
apart will give seventy rows very near
ly to the acre, and 10000 yards running
measure.
Three and half feet will give sixty
rows to the acre, and four thousand
two hundred yards, running measure.
Four feet will give fifty rows to the
acre, and three thousand six hundred
and forty yards, running measure.
The table is laid out for the number
of pounds per hundred yards of row,
and hence the shape of the land will
not affect the results:

REvAcciNArIoN.-In Wirtemberg, in
five years, among 81, 29S revaccinated
adults, there were but two cases of
smallpox, while among 1863, 29S adults
having been vaccinated in infancy only,
there were 1,05S cases. One success
ful revaccinatlon at or after puberty is
all that is required to supplement the
infantile vaccination. This is attested
by the experience of many physicians,
and many statistics toe scattered to be
quoted here. The cicatrix should be

CALIFORNIA beats the world for won
ders, and always has done SO. The
latest is divorce case. A worthy salt
of the sea, who still preserved his sa-
vor, consulted a medium as to whether
he ought to marry. The medium call
ed up spirit who told him matrimony
was his only escape from sudden death,
and that his affinity would meet him
at noon of the morrow, on a certain
street corner. They met and married,
and 10! it turned out to be the medium
herself. They are now divorced, and
the worthy salt will take little death
in preference to further matrimony.

To MAKE Hop YEAsT-To a handful
of good hops, put quart of water;
boil till reduced one-half; strain, wipe
out the vessel, return the liquid, set
over the fire again. While the hops
are boiling, mix enough flour with a
little cold water to make it as thick as
stiff starch. When it begins to boil
after returning it to the vessel, stir in
the dissolved flour, let it boil few
minutes; then set it to cool; when cool
enough stir in some good yeast or a
dissolved yeast-cake, and teaspoonful
or little more of sugar. Pour into a
jug, cork, and let it work. 1t is best
to set it in something suitable, in case
it should work and run over before you
are aware, and you lo0e good deal.
After it works, cork tight and keep in
a cool place. Potatoes are not neces-
sary, and make it sour much sooner.
Now, to make the cakes, sift into a
pan one-third of -four and two-thirds
of meal, as fine as you can, that there
may be as little meal as possible in
your bread; pour in the the yeast and
work well into stiff dough; make off
into cakes the size Of small teacup,
and about three quarters of an inch
thick; dry in the shade. From this
start you may have perpetual yeast by
taking off piece of dough after it has
risen for bread, and working it in your
hand with water enough to make
thick batter, and then sitting in meal
enough to make the cakes as above
stated; or piece of the risen dough
will rise another batter of dough the
same as the yeast. lam mixing cakes
now made from stock before the war;
have had no hops since, and they are
good as ever; but I much prefer liquid
yeast if l could have it fresh. Peach
leaves will make yesst, so will dried
apples, but none are 81 2od as hops.

FAILURE OF NATIONAL BANKS
An eminent financier of this city
has kindly placed at our disposal
circular list of the failures of all
National Banks since the system was
adopted, and from which we compile
the following facts. There have been
seventy-one such failures throughout
the United States, distributed over
the different States as follows: In
New York, Dor nearly one-third of
the whole; in Iowa, 6; in Ohioy 3;
in Missouri, 4; in Wisconsin,, 8; in
Pennsylvania, 3; in West Virginia,
2; in Old Virginia, 8; in Illinois, p;
in Indiana, .; in Minnesota, 2; in
Mississippi, =; in Michigan, 2; and
in Tennessee, Utah, Nevada, Mary
land, Maine, Connecticut, District of
Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana and
Alabama, each, l; thus showing that,
though the proportion of such crea-
tons is of course far less, there has
been but comparatively small num-
Der of failures in the Southern States,
where the national greenback, or its
equivalent, the United States bond,
is far less plentiful. The same cireu-
lar, issued by a Philadelphia firm,
contains proposition to buy up the
notes of such broken banks as are
named in it at four per cent. pre-
mium.-Wobae Tribune.

The happy winds kiss all they meet.
As on the Viewless wings they fly:
The valleys kiss the mountains feet;
And the mountains kiss the sky.
The clouds kiss Phoebe, calm and bright,
That sable sky adjoining;
And Sunbeams kiss the brow of night
In the burst of the dewy morning,
The rivers kiss, unthrift of love.
Their banks begemm'd with flowers;
And swallows sweep from heaven above,
TO kiss this world of ours.
The foaming pillows kiss the beach
In a wild ungentle fashion;
The weeping willows ca thward reach.
To enjoy the darling passion.
The ivy kisses from its birth
All other cares dismiSSing:
And all things loyeliest on earth
Seem most engaged in kissing.

Indian Idols in Iowa.

various bands as they pass up and
down the rive.,. invariably stop. and
try to propitiate the idol with
liberal presents of tobacco, strings of
gaudy-colored beads, tobacco, pieces of
dry buffalo tongue, etc. There it sits
at the base of the bluff, mute and
solemn, looking out with expression
less eyes over the bosom of the mighty
river that murmurs at its feet, never
mourning, never speaking, like
another sphynX. The ground wherein
the throne of the idol reposes is want

THE ZINC ORE SUPPLY.-Zinc ore
is the least abundant of any of the
cosrser metals found in the United
States, and yet the supply is consider
ably in excess of the demand. The
Zines of Illinois are not looked upon
as offering great Inducements for
profit, and the New Jersey zines are
scarcely known in a distinctive way,
In short, the Lehigh zinc mines furnish
one-half of the annual consum ption of
the country. They were opened ia
1858, and are now supplying ore for an
annual product of 5000 tons of oxide
zinc, 8, 600 tons OF metallic zinc, and
5000 casks of sheet zinc. The ores
are very rich and pure, and exist in
large solid deposits. One dcpos is
being worked which is $4,000 feet
square and 10 feet deep. 1t measures
Il cubic feet to the ton. It is mined at
a depth varying from Us to 800 feet,
ami there seems to be no doubt tn,
the supply will last many years. Of
