complaint is presented in its purest and most po-

with other ailments, 1t frequently involves bill.
iOusness, constipation, irregularities OF the bowels,
Indigestion, and great mental depression. In the
spring Of the year, owing to the effect Of bilious

acute distress. both of body and mind, from this
cause. 1t IL, therefore, advisable for all who are

Varieties Of Potatoes.


Notwithstanding the varieties intro

succeeded in supplanting the old peach
blow with q better kind. Yet it has
several faults, chief Of which is its late
period OF ~ripening, and the amount OF
labor required to dig it. 1t is almost
impossible to get 1t into market time
enough for shipment in the fall. We
want, very much, a potato that will
keep as we'll as the peachblow, look as

two weeks to n month earlier. The

WONDERFUL STATEMENT. Unless hun

have cOnspired to delude the commune
ty, q medicine has at last been intro
duced which is o specific for almost
every human ailment, not involving the
entire paralyzation or partial destruc-
ton of the organ or organs in which il
exists. These witnesses testify lin some
instances from their W personal ex-
perience, in others on behalf of others, J
that dyspepsia, liver complaint, remit
tent and intermittent fever, nervous
debility, and numberless other diseases,
are rapidly and radically cured by this
new remedy. It halls from California,
and has in two years overleaped all COM
p~etitors among advertised %tonics, and
become par excellence the medicine of
the people. California is an exceptional
region. Its vegetable products, those
OF q medicinal nature, have no equiva-
lent elsewhere, and it ia from the
choicest of these that Or. J, Walker
prepares his famous alcoholics VINE

The Average Pickpocket.

1t il generally presumed by n majori-
ty of our citizens, that ~pickpockets pos
sess SOM understandable peculiarly, III
their personal appearance, by which
they can readily be distinguished from
honest folks. Many people entertain
the idea that this kind of thieves must
necessarily have a low forehead, n william
GUS ~countenance, and wear n large cloak
to conceal se-hands, and q kit of pick
pockets Instruments. This mistaken
supposition accounts, in a large measure,
for the ease with which so many rob-
berries are committed. In many eases
the caution of the victims assists the
operation of the. thieves. While the
over-cautious are engaged in casting
suspicious chances around, with the in
t~ention of avoiding some one who cor
responds with their mental picture Of =
rascal, some g~enteelly appearing per-
sonage, whom they do not for a moment
suspect relieves them of their valu-
bles. The appearance Of a tastefully-
attired lady, with the modest counte-
nance and delicately formed hands, who
apologies 80 gracefully for her rude
ness and haste in leaving a car, does not
suggest the fact that abe has inst pick
ed a pocket. The plain, honest-looking
old gentleman, who wears an expression
as benignant as Beecher's, and assists
an old lady across the street with O So
licitude thst excitss edmiration, does
not conform with the general impression
Of English Bill, the notorious English
plckpockst. There are some suspicious
looking faces among these people, just

How CLOVER IMPROVES THE SouL.-
Prof. Toelcker thus explains the action
of clover in increasing the fertility of
soils "All who are practically ac-
quainted with the subject must have
seen that the best crops of wheat are
produced by being preceded by crops OF
clover grown for seed. ] have come to
the conclusion that the very best pre-
paration, the very best manure, is a good
crop of clover. = A vast amount
of mineral is brought within
reach of the corn crop which otherwise
would remain in a locked-up condition
in the soil. The clover plants take
nitrogen from the atmosphere manufac-
ture it into their own substance, which,
on decomposition of the clover roots
and leaves, produces abundance of am.
monia. In reality, the growing of clover
is equivalent, to a great extent, to
manuring with Peruvian guano and in
this paper of mine I show that you OBJ
tain a larger quantity Of manure than in
the largest dose of Peruvian guano
which a farmer would ever think of ap-
plying. II is only by CAREFUL
ly Investigating subjects like the one
under consideration that positive proofs
are given showing the correctness of
intelligent observes in the field.

USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

LEMON CAKE.-Two cups of -four,
one of butter, one of milk, three o.
sugar, six eggs, n large lemon, one
teaspoonful Of soda.
GINGER COOKIES. - Excellent fol
breakfast with coffee. Two cups o,
molasses, one of shortening, n Of
water, n egg, n tablespoonful Of
soda, one of ginger. Roll pretty thick.
Sour SAUCE. Melt one and a hall
cups of butter, and stir in a tablespoon,
full OF -four. Add one cup of boiling
water, and nearly a cup of sugar, and
two spoonfuls of good vinegar. Spice
to taste.
How TO SAVE Coal IN GRATEs.--The
most practical suggestion yet make to-
ward economy of coal seems to be the
use of solid bottoms in ordinary fire.
CRATES. II is asserted, and indeed
proved, hat in any fireplace not ex-
cessively small n plate of iron placed
upon the CRATE will save the consump-
ton of coal, reduce the smoke, and
leave a cheerful, free-burning fire.
Quite sufficient air enters through the
bars, no poking is necessary, and the
fire never goes out till the Goals are
consumed. There is no ash and no
dust, every particle of fuel being con-
sumed. Any householder can try this
experiment, and reduce his coal bills
say thirty per cent. at the cost of Il
shilling.
ELECTRIC CAUrERY IN SURGERY. -
Surely the world is moving. One of
the last and perhaps greatest improve
ments in surgery is n new method Of
cutting away formidable tumors in some
of the cavities by electricity. Where
it is almost impossible to secure bleed
ing vessels on account of reaching
them, for example in ~detaching a fung-
OuS BIOWbl lhT vi Ill blle Hubtl CaVluleS,
etc., a wire is passed around the
base, the battery set in motion, and
the tumor is separated without
loss of blood, the vessels being scared
as it were with n hot iron. Better still,
under the lulling effects of c~hloroform
or ether, the patient experiences neither
pain nor loss of strength from hemorr-
hage.
To CLEAN SILVER. DIR. Elsner a v
that hot water poured off potato par
ings or boiled potatoes is admirably
adapted to clean silver. The objects
be easily rubbed by the fingers
with the settings of potato meal, and
they become rs bright as they usually
do ween rubbed with tripoli. The pro-
cess is particularly advantageous for en-
graved and raised objects, the powder
is liable to collect in the cavities. Ger
man silver and plated ware can be
cleaned in the same way. Potato water
which has become sour by long stand
ing can be substituted for acids to clean
copper vessels. ...0

Breaking Land.

The Southern CultiVatOr fayors Ms
with the following pointed hints The
present and the next month are apt to
be rainy, and tho land in consequence,
not often in condition to receive the
plow. We urged II readers in the
autumn months to press forward their
blowing. II they do 10, we congratu-
late them now on freedom from the har-
RAISING apprehension that if they wait
for land to get in proper condition they
may fail to finish up before planting
time; or, if disregarding the condition
Of their lands, they push on, many find
them, after the winds Of spring have
passed over them, in worse condition
than if they never had been touched.
To those who have been 80 unfortunate
~ TO be caught between the two horns
Of this dilema, Il advice is, Take the
chances of getting through in time, and
plough only when the land is sufficiently
dry. See the plough gear, the double
and single trees, and the ploughs them
selves, in the best possible condition, 30
MS not to lose a moment OF precious
time; Provide extra ones of such things
M are liable to get ont OF order, and be
on hand yourself to repair every breach
promptly. Look well ahead, and dur
ing wet weather do all necessary work,
as milling, hauling wood, sending to
blacksmith's shop, and other avoidable
things, 10 that none Of these may claim
attention in fair weather. Substitute
management for routine, and you will,
in all probability, come out right in the
end.
Stubble and rested land should re-
ceive attention first. Instead of plough
ing these in lands 10 or 90 feet wide, it
is decidedly better to lay off tho rows
and bed up regularly. It is easier to
run the level on the smooth surface be-
fore ploughing, than on the rough n
after. Besides, the laying off of guide
rows can be done leisurely during wet
times, whereas, if delayed till spring,
is apt to press heavily But the
greatest advantage is, that lands thrown
up in beds, does not become 80 badly
" water sogged" as that lying fiat, and
the healthy action of the atmosphere is
very much greater in the former than
the latter.

WHEN | was a boy, says a distin-
guished man, my first saving of ten
cent pieces, earned by Saturday after
noon work-for school kept half a day
then-were expended in buying n heifer
calf. Then I worked ont, and paid
my father certain sum each month for
keeping. When the calf was one year
old | traded it for two steer calves, and
now had to put in good and strong to
pay for their keeping but I occupied
all my spare time in teaching these
calves to work in the yoke, and at one
year old they would gee and .haw as
well Ms any old oxen, and my father
paid me for their use in leading the
team for breaking his two and three
year olds. Again, / had n piece of
ground eash year, after | was fourteen,
that | could plant and work on shares !;
and, if | wanted help, why l had to
give two days of my time to their
hired mans n day. I grew just what
my fancy and reading dictated, and
from the proceeds l dressed as well rs
any of the boys at the present time. I
always had some time to play and read,
and now look back with love and pleas
ant thoughts to the old farm and farm
hand who taught me to use tools, and
whipped me when | neglected to drive
the team out straight Mt the end of the
furrow in blowing. The remembrance
of my boyhood days always induced
me to favor all items of encouragement
at home on the farm and l believe if it
were more generally practiced we
should have more good farmers and
less bro%ken-down merchants, or loafng,
hanging-on, time-serving clerks, ready
for anything except honorable labor
and usefulness. =.
