Fncr. Worth Remembering.

CONTAIN English medical writer states that
rheumatism and govt can be cured by the free
use of asparagus.
To Bend Giass-Fil glass tubes with fine, dry
sand, close at both ends, and they will bend
easily after heating.
Warm Feet-The New York San says that a
handful of sawdust worn in each stocking will
keep the feet as warm as toast.
Observation-Disclosures would be more easily
accomplished and more certainly performed, and
rooms kept with purer and healthier air, if win
dows were made to slide easily. If not hung by
pulleys and weights, let carpenter add good
freely working catches. Never permInt a bro
ken pane in the house.
CeIlars-Cellars should be kept constantly
Clean much so your parlor 1t is the cas-
lest thing in the world if you attend to it daily,
and only becomes a heavy task when you allow
a months accommodations TO remain undisturbed.
1t is hardly necessary to add that fevers have
been contracted By breathing the miasma crea-
ted in an ill-kept cellar.
COlds-Hot lemonade is one of the best rene
dies in the world for cold. 1t acts promptly
and effectively. and has no unpleasant after eff
fects. One lemon properly squeezed, cut in sill
ces, put with sugar, and covered with half pint
of boiling water. Drink just before going to
bed, and do not expose yourself on the following
day. This remedy will ward of an attack of the
chills and fever, if used promptly.
Doors-Never allow a door to creak for want
of OIL or to shut so hard as to require slamming
to make it latch. For this purpose pass round
once a week ut some regular time. say Saturday
evening Monday morning, with drop of oil
on feather, on the tip of the finger, and give
every rubbing part, latch, hinge, etc, touch.
Scissors, which are inclined to work hard, can
also be greatly improved in this way.

An OLD SOAKER's LAST SPREE.-A correspond
ent of the Troy Daily Times, writing from Berk-
shire, Mass, and remarking upon the great
change which had taken place in that region, in
consequence of the suppression of the rum traffic,
tells the following good story of an old soaker
who has since reformed, and is now regular to-
tai abstinence man. II is given nthe old fellows
own words, as follows: 81 once got leetle change
together, and started off a regular bender. |
bought small keg with bung hole in the mid
die of it, so that it would be handy to drink from,
and had it filled with rum. After taking few
good s1rigs, hid it in a cooper shop, under some
shavings, and started for town. Falling in with
some acqUaintances, We all got glOriOusIy drunk,
and the spare change of the party was soon ali
gone. Fuddled as we all were, we started for
the cooper shop. Arriving there, after having
travelled over much surplus ground, got hold
of what supposed was the keg of rum but the
bung wouldn't come out. Each one of us tugged
and pulled, dug and oheteed at it, but all in vain
We separated in despair. l carried it home for a
sober trial; and what do You think it vast Why
it was the head Of an old UOoden BEETLE with just
enough of the handle left to stick in its place
My rum key still ill the shavings aud there
let it stay. That was my last spree"

Whether or not a man makes money by hand
ling sheep depends largely upon the manner in
tional expense and bestowal Of some extra labor,
lambs can be started of nicely in the spring, and
kept growing through the entire summer. Good
fresh pasturage should be provided for them at
weaving time. This is best secured by using
meadow set to timothy and clover and from
which the crop has been mOwn. If this is not to
be had, a pasture that has been pretty closely
cropped in the earlier part of the summer should
have all the stock taken off two or three weeks
before the lambs are to be turned in. 1t is bet
Ter that the grass should be short, though plen-
y oil IT, A few dry ewes should be kept with
the weaned lambs until they have learned to
dnVe and come at the call of the shepherd. Some
KIND OF grain-ve prefer shelled cOrn-shonld be
gwen after the first of September, increasing the
quantity of corn until they can take full feed
without injury before hard weather.

r., R;saiug your Garden.

There is not the slightest doubt that 1t pays
we'll for the trouble, to throw almost any garden
soil into high narrow ridges, IN the fall or early
yvinter The frost will penetrate deeper at the
bottom of the intervening burrows, and vastly
improve the ridges, will also freeze and thaw
more thoroughly, and thus become finer and mel
IoJyer and of course be rendered more fertile
Thereby. This is especially the case with clay or
heavy soils. Ground thus thrown into ridges and
burrows, will dry ont sooner in the spring, and
be ready for much earlier working.
Another decided advantage is, that grubs,
worms and insects generally, which burrow be-
low the frost, OF are protected by the soil from
sudden thawing and freezing, will be mostly
killed, if their retreats are disturbed, and they
exposed to severer cold. Many of the roots of
perennial weeds will also he destroyed.
If you have not faith enough in this theory,
and in the experience of those who have prac-
tised upon it, to induce you to treat your whole
garden thus, try at least a small plot, and mark
the effects next season. Dig the ground deeply,
making The ridges as high aud narrow as posi-
BILE. If it ordinarily freezes foot deep, then by
making the burrows that depth the frost will
penetrate nearly as much further down. good
freezing is equal, pulveriZer, to any number
of mechanical diggings with spade.
For the good appearance of the garden during
winter, it is well TO make the ridges and fur
rows straight, and uniform in size and height

MsefnI aud Curious.
AFEw WORDS ABOUT APPLES.

The apple is Enthusiastically the most heaithy
of fruits According IN DIR. Hall, the time re-
qnired to digest a piece OF roasted PORK Is nSe
hours and a hsf-about equal to apiece OF boiled
tendon (whte leather), which is almost leafhery,
or lump of boiled beef suet; while sweet, mel
low, raw apple is digested, passed out OF the
stomach and enters the circulation to nourlsh
and strengthen, in an hour and a hall, being ex,
ceeded in easiness of digestion only by boiled
rice pigs feet or tripe soused, and whipped eggs,
all of which are digested in one hour. Apples can
also be served up in many different ways Tor
table nse and at so smsllexpense. that pecaniary
motives also should lead to the laying III of large
supplies for the coming year. Ii undoubtedly
paws to pack them in barrels in preference TO
leaving them TO freeze and rot in damp cellar
bins. Salt barrels should be used IL they can be
had, as the salt imparts a healthy SAVIOR TO the
wood. In proof of this, farmer living near the
Syracuse salt works says that be purchased five
barrels of apples from pile and placed them
away in barrels, one of which had beed used as
salt barrel. In this one the apples were sound
and fresh the first of April while in the other
four they were mostly all damaged. When bar
rels cannot be obtained, it is a good plan to pack
them in perfectly dry forest leaves, with alter
nate layers of each.
One good method of cooking apples is to peel
them and take ont the without dividing the
fruit; put them in dish and pour over them
few tablespoonfus of water; then bake until de-
licately brown, and eat with cream and sugar,
d
preferable to the sodden dumping or the greasy
pie. Mrs. +. d. Gage, one of the most notable
housewives in the nation, says: "Pare the APP
pies and quarter them, placing them in tin
plate with the core side up, if dried apples, lit
tie water is added they are then set in the oven,
which is always bot at meal time, and roasted;
when done, they are slid on common plate. and
sprinkl-d with sugar; are to be eaten warm, with
bread and butter and cakes. Ii would require
canned frnit of extra flavor to tempt me from
the apple dish, if thus prepared. Strawberries
or half ripe peaches are not to be talked of the
same day"
Picked apples can be put up as fellows: Take
peck of sweet apples and pare them; boil them
until tender in syrup made of four pounds of
sugar aud quart of vinegar; then remove them
from this syrup, and make a new syrup of five
pounds of sugar and quart of vinegar, to which
add two teaspoonfnls each of cloves and CHINA
mon tied in a bag; let this syrup boil fifteen or
twenty minutes, and pour it, while hot, over the
fruit.-Ohi0 Farmer.

THE LAST THEFT.-The most impudent and ex-
pert achievement in the art of thIeving that We
have lately heard of, was related to us few
days since, as follows:
At a labOrers' boarding house, where it is GUS
tOmary, in warm weather, for the to leave
their coats in the entry while at meals, a thief
took it into his head to make an incursion one
day while all hands busy at dinner. Ac-
cordiDgly he accommodated the passage way, saw
good variety of coats and Jackets, some new
some half worn &c, all of which he catered into
his arms, and carelessiy commenced making his
exit. Just he was about to cross the thresh-
hold, the man of the house, who was late to din
uer, arrived at the door.
what are you doing with these coatsi" cried
the landlord
"Pm taking them to my shop, SIR"
"And what fort"
"The gentlemen want to get 'em secured, sir, y
replied the thief.
80, then, if that's ALL" said the landlord, al
believe my coat wants securing, and you may
take it along, too"
So saying, he DOTTED his garment, handed it
over TO the thief, and proceeded TO his dinner.
The surprise of the bOarders, when they went
to don their habiliments, and the confusion of
the landlord, i'll giving his statement, may well
be imagined.

The milk room must he kept always of an even
temperature, not less than fifty-two degrees or
more than ffty-ive degrees.
Use only half an ounce of salt to pound of

Another authority says that the largest guam

quantity of butter is made, when the milk is one

an inch and a half III cold weather, seven or eight
quart pans thus containing but two and half

EXPERIMENT IN GRASS CULTURE.-An English
farmer writes TO The Mark Lane Erpre.s an ae-
count of an accidental experiment in grass cul-
ture which occurred on his farm a few Years ago.
He says that his plovman mistook orders and
plowed half an acre in of his grass fields be-
fore the mistake was discovered. This was in
the fall, and the land lay with the roots of the
grass turned up to the weather during the win
ter. In the spring the sods were turned down
carefully and the land relied. The result was
that the grass grew richer and higher in the
pluwed part than in any other portion of the
held SO much so that the difference could be
noticed from a considerable distance The i'm
provement in the grass of the plowed part has
been permausnt.

As every one may not have the means of OBJ
tanning any of the numerous "Infallible Pain Ex-
tractors" when accident renders an immediate
remedy necessary, we publish the following re-
cpe for the cure of burns, handed to us by a fe-
male friend:
ed, the part is to be dipped in cold water and
then plunged, still wet, into -four, keeping il
there for a minute or two:-by this means a Ger
tain part adheres to the wound, and prevents
the access of the air. 1t is remarkable that the
-four falls in scales from the surrounding parts
the next day, while on the burn it remains adhe-
rent"
This recipe has the sanction of the Medical
Times, in which it originally appeared some six
or eight years ago.-Germantorn Telegraph

Washing Made Easy.

Soak the clothes, then rub lightly; put to boil
in water in which sal soda has been dissolved in
the proportion of piece as large as hens egg
to a boiler of water. Boil in this, remove the
clothes to the tub, wiring out of this water, and
then scad, theh rinse usual. This process,
well done, makes clothes beautifully white; but
calcoes should not be washed in the suds, as it
fades them. Most old housekeepers think that
soap and water and washbOard are the only fit
treatment of clothes; but there are one or two
washing machines which a great help. / al
ways wash calico in clear water, not boiling suds;
put in the garments one at a time as Iwash them,
and as soon as they are wrung out put them in a
vessel of hard water to stand until ready to rinse
and starch them. Treated in this way, the col
OTIS will remain nearly new until the cloth is
worn out.

Cow LEAKING HER MILK.-A subscriber asks,
what will prevent a COW from leaking her milk I
We have seen it prevented by placing an India
rubber ring around the teat after milking.
Another remedy common with some dairymen is
to milk such cows three times day, until the
muscles of the teats gain sufficient strength to
hold the milk from morning until evening
Another very successful and simple way is to APP
ply a small quantity of cellodion to the end of
the teat immediately after milking. This forms
at once thin, tough membrane or skin, which
VIII prevent leakage, and is easily removed be-
fore milking. Il may be bad al the drnyyist's.

SILvER.-Silver should never be allowed to

with hard soap. Wipe hard and quickly on
clean towel, and polish with dry flannel. If dis
colored with egg, mustard, ETC., rub ont the stain
with a small, stiff brush, and silver soap, or
whatever you use for cleaning silver; then wash
off in hot water, wipe, and polish. Use soft
towels. This is for the articles in common use
Once week have all the silver cleaned. If You
wish 10 place silver away for any length of time,
wrap each article in blue paper, and it will keep
n good color.
