Suggestions for summer.

. It IS of great Importance that the system should
.be in vigorous condition when the hst weather
commences. The effects of high temperature
upon enfeebled frame are always more or less
disastrous. The loss of substance and the declen-
sion of nervous power, occasf Toned by excessive
heat, can only be compensated by the active.
healthful, and regular exercise of all the bodily
functions by which the waste of nature is replen-
ished AID the vital energies renewed. The great
utility of Hosteuer's Stomach Bitters as a means
of toning invigorating and regulating the organs
ofthe body, is universally acknowledged AS ton
ic it stimulates the tagging appetite and acceleraes
digestion corrective it neutralzes acidity of
the stomach and relieves natulency; as an alter
tive and mild aperient it regulates the liver and
the bowles; anodyne it promotes tranquil
sleep; as wholesome stimulant it imparts firm
ness and elasticity to the relaxed and trembling
nerves and as a blood depurent it purlnes the vi
tai stream The value of such a specific to the
weak and debllitated is beyond all estimate. To
summer. IL IS refreshing and vitalizing as the
cool night dew 10 the sun-scorched flowers. Com
posed of vegetable elements only, with a basis of
pure diffusive stimuent IL Is safe and palatable
weil medicinal In fever and ague districts. and

est remedy for Intermittent and reTnttent fevers

Panar Made from Cranes.


During the past ten or fifteen years
much attention has been given to the
plants of various countries by paper
makers. Almost any plant will yield
paper material but in all there is some
elements which it is more or less costly
to remove before paper can be profitably
made. We have in our own country
many plants which do tolerably well.
The common rag-ws, Anbrosia arti-
mesiefolia, has beel1 Ether extensively
used the past year or two, and promises
to hold its own pretty well. But the
plant which has become the most popu-
lar in this connection is a grass, Lygeum
spartum, known in the trade as Esparto
grass, and which grows naturally in the
marshes of south Spain and the coasts
of the Mediterranean. In England Es-
parto grass for paper-making is being
consumed in immense quantities. The
London Times is printed now entirely on
Sparto-grass paper, and it is the stout
est paper we receive. The native loca-
tions have been found too limited for
the demand, and plantations are being
made of it in various parts of Spain
where it does not naturally grow. 1t is
well worthy of trial in this country but
the seed seems difficult to get hold of.
Commissioner CaprOn had his attention
drawn to its velue when he was at the
head of the agricultural bureau, and
imported seed at some cost but the
plants died out during the heat of the
following summer at the, government
gardens at Washington. Twas thought
it would not adapt itself to this climate;
but this experiment ought not to be re-
garded as desicive, by any means.

The Home Clip.
From the panburr News.1


You can always tell a boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because the
edges of it look as if they had been
chewed off by an absent-minded horse,
but you tell it by the way he steps on
the street, and wriggles his shoulders.
When a fond mother has to cut her
boys hair, she is careful to guard
against any annoyance and muss by lay
ing a sheet on the carpet. It has never
vet occurred to her to sit him over
bare floor, and put the sheet around his
neck. Then she draws the front hair
over his eyes and leaves it there while
she cuts that which is at the back. The
hair which lies over his eyes appears to
be surcharged with electric needles,
and that which is silently dropping
down nnder his shirt-band appears to
be on fire. She has unconciously con
tinued to push his head forward until
his nose presses his breast, and is too
busily engaged to notice the sufing
sound that is becoming alarmingly fre-
quent In the meantime he is siezed
with an irresistible desire to blow his
nose, but recollects that his handker-
chief is in the other room. Then a fly
lights on his nose, and does-it so unex-
pectedly that he involuntarialy lodges,
and catches the point of the shears in
his left ear. At this he commences to
cry and wishes he was man. But his
mother doesn't notice him. She merely
hits him on the other ear, to inspire
him with confidence, and goes on with
the work. When she is through, she
holds his jacket collar back from his
neck, and with her mouth blows the
short bits of hair from the top of his
head down his back. He calls her at
tention to this fact, but she looks for
new place on his head and hits him
there, and asks him why he didn't use
his handkerchief. Then he takes his
awfully disfgured head to the mirror
and looks at it. and, young as he is,
shudders as he thinks of what the boys
on the street will say.

Fertilizers for Potatoes.

A correspond bin a recent number
of the Countr. .ssss~sntleman recommends
as a fertilizer for potatoes the following ::
One part salt, two parts plaster, three
parts lime, and four parts wood ashes,
mixed together, and one tablespoonful
applied to each hill at the time of plant
ing. On land tolerably rich with hu-
mus or vegetable substance, like an old
pasture, or bound-out moving lot, the
above fertilizer I think would prove an
excellent dressing for potatoes, much
better than barn-yard manure, especial
ly if in its raw, green state. think L
| shall use some IN this way this
season by way of experiment on small
piece of potatoes. But on land such as
usually grow potatoes, viz, sandy
loan and rather lean in humus or vege-
! table substance, I should prefer mod
crate barn -shovelful of ripe compost In
addition to the above named fertilizer,
/ applied to each hill composed of one
part green barn-yard manure and three
parts good swamp muck. 1 have had
very excellent luck for a number of
years with this compost in the cultiva-
ton of potatoes on soil as above de-
scribed, and can recommend it. have
used also with good success all the in
gradients In the above described fertil-
izer except lime, incorporating them
with compost, and also applying them
to the hilIst the time of planting, and
to the vines, except the salt, during
their growing state, it serving not only
to promote their growth, but to keep
the vines green and healthy, and 1 see
nothing why a little lime mixed in with
these other ingredients should not be
equally beneficial to promote the growth
of the potato plant.

How to Dress Sheep.

The Western Rural has heretofore
called attention to the offensive taste re-
sulting from the careless dressing of
sheep and seown that the process should
be completedas quick as possible. As
aDpropOs to the same subject the Lon
don Gentleman's Magazine says:
1t may be of interest to some of our
country readers to learn how to dress
a sheep properly because a great deal
of flavor depends upon how this opera
ton is performed. We give directions
how to avoid this Ill flavor which arises
from the absorption by the meat of the
gazes from the intestines, which, as the
outside of the carcass cools, cannot es-
cape, and are, therefore, absorbed by
the flesh. There is a simple remedy.
As soon as the animal is dead, let the
hide be slit up from the brisket to the
tail, and to the knees, by quick mo-
tion of a sharp pointed knife, inserted
beneath the skin. Strip the skin from
the belly and the ribs and legs, so that
it viii be out of the way of the intes-
tines. Then open the sheep immediate
", and disembowel it. All this ought
to be the work of about one minute or
two, or If it occupies five there viii not
be sufficient time for the carcass to cool
sufficiently to cause any unpleasant
taste. Then proceed to strip the skin
from the back of the carcass. A sheep
should be killed by thrusting a sharp
knife through the neck, back of the
windpipe. without I (fhing it, however,
but cutting the arteilos; and as soon as
