KetaInio. the Aftermath.

For maay years | have advocated the
leaving of aftermath in meadows. Our
experience covers twelve years of thor
ough testing, and all kinds of soil seem
to be adapted to it. The only evil
effects we have found are III wet soil,
where the frost throws ont the grass.
There is also objection made to mice
harboring in aftermath We have
found these where there was no coat to
prevent.
Grass obtains nearly all its strength
from the atmosphere. 1t is for this
reason that natural pastures sustain
themselves, and the more of the growth
that is left on ground, the richer it be-
comes, and the better the growth;
hence the fertility of the prairies; hence
also the rich muck beds which are
sometimes found ON the poorest of
land. And SO our farms may be i'm
proved by simply leaving a part of the
crop-the more that Is left, the better
for the land. This | will say-and |

farmer in the land and induce him to
test the matter-that we have grown

Natures Appeals for Help.

Every indication of debility and exhaustion is a
mute appeal of Nature for medicinal aid to arrest
the progress of decay How these silent appeals
of physical weakness to the of the healing
art usually met? Too often, unfortunately, the
drugs prescribed aggravate the symptoms. Who
recommends drastic purgatives, or mineral
salivants, poisonous alkaloids, under such cir
cumstances is ally of the ailment, and enemy
of the patient. Whoever, on the contrary, advises
the broken down and Responding sufferer to resort
to that peerless vegetable invigorant, Hosteter's
Stomach Bitters, for aid and comfort, is a true
philanthropist. 1t is safe to say that there never
an instance in which such advice was gwen and
accepted without the happest results. From the
very depths of weakness and dependency, thou

We should not only treat our mead

as grass is intended to be fed, and not

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
To Remoxe Stains.

If you have been picking or handling
any acid fruit, and have stained your
hands, wash them in clear water, wipe
them lightly, and while they are yet
moist, strike match and shut your
hands around it SO as to catch the
smoke, ana the stains will disappear.
If you have stained your muslin or
bingham dress, or your white pants,
with berries, before wetting with any
thing else, pour boiling water through
the stains, and they will disappear.
Before fruit juice dries, it can often be
removed with cold water, using a
sponge and towel if necessary. Rub
bling the fingers with the inside of the
parings of apples will remove most of
the stain caused by pairing. Ink, also,
if washed cut or sopped up from the
carpet with cold water Immediately
when it is spilled, can be almost en-
tirely removed. Ink spots on floors
can he extracted by scourging with
sand, wetted in oil of vitriol and water
When the ink IS removed, rinse with
strong pearlash water.

STEALING HEAVENS LIVERY.

STEALING HEAVENS LIVERY. The
great AlcOhoUess Remedy, VINEGAR
BIrrERs, is everywhere driving pestif-
erous rum potions out of the market.
That famous combination of the finest
medicinal herbs on the continent of
America, is accomplishing such cures
of diseases which affect the stomach,
the liver, the bowels, the kidneys, aud
the nervous system, that the grateful
masses have adopted it as their
Standard Specific. The various rum
bltters have gone down before this
pure vegetable antidote like tenpins
before well aimed ball. The people
have at length discovered that all the
sp1rituous excitants are worse than
shams-that both morally and medi-
cinally they are inimical to the well
being and safety of the community. Il

A Long SUSPENSE.

When a man has been adiudged
guilty of capital offence he has a
right to be hung, and should not be
kept in suspense for twenty three
years. A Philadelphia paper says
there is a man in Moyameusing prison
who has not seen the light of day for
three and twenty years on account of
the neglect or refusal of successive
Governors to sign his death warrant.
His punishment has been far worse
than death, and the horrors of these
long and heavy years cannot be con-
ceived. The right of man to be hung
ought not thus to be disregarded.

Summer.

She sat beneath an ancient spreading oak
At close of day, the while the young May
moon
Rose like queen 10 grant a promised boon,
He lying at her feet his purple cloak
Beside him, while delicious silence woke
Heart-echoes. Fairy ferns made tune
In the soft-sighIng wind, aud foxgioves soon
Answered the strain, and the sweet silence
broke.
Around them blOomed primrose and violet,
The da ffodIl and dear forget-me-n not,
The while the fragrant woodruff made regret
That they soon should leave the charmed
spot;
And the fond lovers looked with lips apart
Summer IN nature, summer n each heart.

THEORY OF KEEPING EGGs.-Our
theory of keeping eggs is to keep the
yoik well enclosed within the CLAIR or
white, of the egg. How to do it is the
question. Simply initiate mother
"Biddy," vixen sitting, by turning the
eggs over daily, or once every two or
three days at most. We have never
had any trouble in keeping eggs from
October to May; and | think they
would keep one or two years if neces-
sary. We simply lay them III some
thing that viii hold from one to two
dozen, and fasten so they can be turned
without much trouble. Y. l..

hers on TrellIses.

Wherever we go we see the cucum-
bers in the open air suffered to run on
the ground. This is no doubt relic
of European culture. There it is
necessary. Here the climate is not hot
enough, and the plants have to be
started, If not grown altogether, in
low, flat glass frames. But where the
cucumber grows wild, it spreads over
bushes and trees, and the growth and
produce are enormous. All plants
with tendrils prefer to ramble in this
way. The grape vine, it is well known,
seems fairly overioyed when it can
find a large mass of twIggy brush to
ramble over as it wills, and so does the
cucumber. No one who has not tried
can have any idea of the luxurious
growth of the cucumber when trained
to a stake which has set of stubby
side branc res left along its length.
Some which the writer saw might be
taken at distance for some vigorous
kind of ornamental gourd, and the
crop was enormous.
A great advantage IN the style of
culture is that the plants occupy far
less ground than when permitted to
spread over the surface IN the usual
way. This IS a great gain to small
gardens, and to large ones, for that
matter-for If we have land enough and
to spare, few of us have time to waste
in preparing more If it than is neces-
sary to the perfection of a crop.-G0r

Small EGy of the Period,

Says the Stockton Gazette Where
The road between MERGED and Smelling
crosses the MERGED River; that stream
is about two hundred yards IN width,
and even at this season of the year,
when the water is quite low, it looks
like dangerous and deep stream to
cross. Last Thursday, a patent-medi-
cine agent, travelling on horseback
through that section, came to the river
and hesitated about attempting to ford
it as he saw The wide expause of rush
ing waters There is no bridge any
wheIe along there, so after some indie
cision, spying a boy, fishing in small
punt tied to the bank, he said +:
Hello, hub,'
"Hello, yourself"
''Can | get You to take my CLOTH s
across the river in your boat 2"
Il rekin you kin, if you've got any
soap"
All right, I'll give you quarter to
| take over my clothes and this carpet
sack to the opposite shore"
| To this the boy nodded assent, the
| stranger disrobed, turned over the car
pet-sack and habiliments to the iuven-
/ lie, who padded out into the stream,
and mounted his horse, prepared to
swim the river and enjoy the luxury OF
bath. With a splash at every move
ment, the horse stepped into the
stream, and walked across-the water
was nowhere more than eighteen inches
deep. To say that that medicine man
perched on the back of his horse, was
a man of iniquity for the space of hal
an hour would hardly do justice to the
occasion. There were enough dams
along the MERGED that afternoon t.
supply hundred mill sites.
