Deafness Caused by Catarrl.

Catarrh not unfrequently produces
deafness.
Mr.. LEVI SPRINGER, of Nettle Lake,
P. O., Williams Co., o., formerly of
Durban's Corners, o., has been cured
of deafness of fourteen years standing,
by using DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
He was SO deaf he could not hear a per-
son talk when seated by his side, and
can now hear the church bells ring two
miles distant-so he writes.
MARKED CASE OF DEAFNESS CURED.
DIcKERsoSvrrLk, Mag Co., y. Y, Feb. %, Is7l
About one year ago caught severe
cold in the head, which terminated in a
severe form of Catarrh. During the
time alterations occurred in the nasal
passages, and I became wholly deaf in
one ear, with partial deafness in the
other. The Inflammation had involved
all the delicate structures of the ears,
and I was in immediate danger of per-
manent deafness. The discharge be-
came profuse and fetid, both into my
throat and from my ears. In this con-
dition I called on DR.. Pierce for aid,
who prescribed his Golden Medical Dis {.
covery and Catarrh Remedy, and under
their use have rapidly recovered. My
hearing is restored, and my Catarrh is
entirely well.

MORE than so years have elapsed
since Johnson's Anodyne LiniDient was
first invented, during which time hun
dreds of thousands have been benefited
by its use. Probably no article ever be-
came SO universally popular with all
classes as Johnsons s Anodyne Liniment.
Pills which contain antimony, qui-
nine and calomel, should be avoided. as
severe gripping pains would be their only
result. The safest, surest, and best
pills are Parsons P,rgatire or Anti-
Bilious Pills.
MODERN MEDICAL DIsoovERT.-It is
claimed that disease, with few exeep-
tions, has been conquered by the re-
search and intellect of enlightened men;
and yet a noted professor of New York
admits that "of all sciences, medicine
is the most uncertain" and that "thou-
sands are annually slaughtered in the
sick room" Certain SCHOOLS" of medi-
cine are in existence, one of which
'makes the patient ILL.," in order to
claim a cure; and another administers
"sugar-coated bread pills." relying
upon nature to effect her own cures.
DIR. ]. WALKER, of California, an old
and respected physician, tried both
modes of treatment and both failed.
He then appealed to natures curative
herbs; and now enjoys rugged health.

cry to the world, in the shape of VINE

The VULCASIzATIoS OF HYDRoCARBoN
CoAPOUSDs.-In treating bituminous
substances, such as asphaltum, graham
ite, petroleum residuum, the different
mineral resins, coal tar, ETC., with sui
phur, chloride of sulphur, or sulphur
in combination with various bases, such
as sulphuret of iron, etc, definite
chemical compound is formed, differing
from its constituent parts in many ma
terial respects, being harder, tougher,
and more capable of resisting heat. The
sulphur should be in Just sufficient
proportion to form this compound, as
an excess would mix mechanically with
the mass and render it too brittle for
use. Difficulty is usually experienced
in determining the proportion of sui
phur, as it varies according to the hy
drocarbon used. To overcome this
difficulty and to avoid all danger of
having an excess of sulphur, it is best
to use in addition some metallic oxides
(such as litharge, for example), which
will combine with any free sulphur,
forming a metallic sulphuret. The
hydrocarbons are first heated till the
water is entirely evaporated, and the
sulphur, chloride of sulphur, or metallic
sulphuret, is then added. The sulphur
may be dissolved in bisulphide of car
bon or any of the ethereal or fatty oils,
or it may be mixed directly with the
mass.

WHITE CoAL.-A new kind of fuel
has recently been discovered on the
Australian continent, which has re-
ceived the name of white coal. 1t con-
sists of felted vegetable fibers, like
peat, which contain, interspersed be-
tween them, fine grains of sand. 1t is
easily combustible and burns with a
light fame. The white coal covers
large tracts, requiring no mining, and
is already used in large quantities as
fuel.

A LAND LEvELER.-Some thing, or
system, or both rather, is very much
needed in the West and South. One
manner of cultivating land, making
roads, &e., throwing mp hills and ridges,
and leaving dead OF open burrows, is
taking off the cream of our soil, and
filling the country with huge gulleys.
1t seems to me all fields should be thor
oughly cross-harrowed after plowing,
even where there is but little inclination
to them, and the bitches or the sides of
our roads should be broad and shallow,
and the middle of the roads only high
enough to shed the water as it falls. A
common harrow would answer as
leveler on fields, no doubt, If used
enough, but an A harrow, somewhat
smaller, but heavy timbers, with short
teeth, and a scraper attached to one of
the arms, with a hook and eye and
chain attached to the other arm and to
the other end of the scraper, giving il
the proper angle to throw the earth into
the middle of road, or into ditch or
furrow, would doubtless be better for
leveling purposes. Spread the water,
and as much as possible never allow it
to accumulate in streams or rills; if you
do, however small they may be in the
first place, eventually they will become
huge and almost unmanageable gulches,
impossible, and down which will go
your best soil. Look at the waters
now in the creeks and ravines, during a
hard shower. all over these rich culti-
waited prairies-they are literally black
running mud. But 40 years ago, before
these "unshorn fields" were ravished
with civilization, this same water was
only slightly colored by the natural
herbage, grasses, and flowers. Spread
the water.

One of our contemporaries advises
that Usage orange hedges should be
trimmed but once in each year, and
that time about the end of July, and
further states that no other cutting will
be needed. As we have not tried it,
we cannot say positively that this is
incorrect, but we do know that it would
be found much easier work to trim them
twice, once late in June, or early in
Jaly, and if the hedge does not Winter
kill much, again in the Fall. If so far
north as to be liable to Winter-killing,
the second cutting should be deferred
until Spring, though it will be much
easier to cut it in the Fall, before the
wood has hardened.

Agricultural.

FARMERS FooD.-There is much diff
Guilty experienced in obtaining the kind
of food in farming communities which
every one knows would be most whole
some, and at the same time most desir-
able as relish, and to support the
heavy taxation upon the systems of all
laboring men. Variety is not all that is
necessary. Salt meats are easily pro-
vided the year round; not so fresh
meats. The general practice is to gorge
upon fresh meats during the first half
of the winter, and starve upon salt
meats the rest of the year, with rare
exceptions. This does not apply near
villages, where farmers are well-to-do,
and have fresh meats from the butchers
cart once or twice a week; nor neceS-
sarily where farms are large enough to
employ a number of men. The large
farms could have fat sheep and calf
now and then during the Summer, with
out difficulty. But to the small farmers,
of which our population is largely com
posed, it is too expensive to go to the
butcher; and sheep cannot be kept
until eaten in warm weather. In some
localities the practice prevails of ex-
changing-one killing q sheep or calf
one week, and another the next, and so
on. This, or for an owner of sheep to
kill often, and sell to his neighbors at
slight advance from cost, is very conve
nient to all. But this is not practicable
in all localities. and some suggestion to
remedy the difficulty would be appre
ciated. As to fresh vegetables, their
absence from any farmer table is rather
a neglect than necessity. Any farmer
can Winter rutabagas, beets, carrots,
parsnips, onions, green peas, and apples
without expense, and the housekeeper
can put up few cans of tomatoes,
cherries, currants, &c, &C., with but
little labor, if she be properly seconded
by the "lord of the manor" Early
vegetables are as simple to possess as
can be wished. Spinach or kaIe for
greens may be sown in September, and
covered slightly during winter, and be
ready in April or May. Onions can be
sown the same way. Lettuce and cab
bsge plants can be sovn in September
and set IN cold frame in November
and produce heads in June. Radishes
can be sown in March, and early peas
and potatoes planted.

AMERICAN CRocKERY-The Newark
Manufacturer says: The City of Tren-
ton is probably the largest manufactory
of crockery in this country, there being
eighteen potteries in that place. These
make "white granite ware" as well as
brown ware, and the first of these goods
were turned out in 1850, but it was not
until 1859 that they turned out granite
ware, it being the first of this kind of
goods made in this country. The high
price of gold during the rebellion inter
fered with the importation of English
crockery, and afforded considerable pro-
lection to the American trade. Uutil
1870 the demand for American crockery
was sufficient to keep all factories in
the United States in operation, but not
to their full capacity. At this time
there are one hundred kilns in opera
ton at Trenton, and these constitute
three fourths of all the kilns in this
country, having a capacity of turning
out 5000 worth of ware annually to
each kiln. The aggregate amount is
some three millions of dollars. In this
production there are some 20, 600 tons
of coal used, and an equal amount of
clay and other materials; New Jersey
is exceedingly rich in beds of excellent
pottery clay, and any delay in extending
this department of manufactures in days
past were certainly not owing to the
want of material, for there is abundance

PRESERVATION OF VEGETABLES BY
DRTNG.-The vegetable designed to be
acted upon is first picked and washed,
then placed in a large drying room,
fitted with shelves and sieves for the
spreading, shaking, and turning of the
vegetables during the drying, and sup
piled with dry air at a temperature of
from go to 100 Fab, and from which
the moist air is discharged through the
chimneys. After this they are sub
jected to pressure, formed into tablets
of certain size, wrapped in tin foil,
and then packed in tin cases for preser
vation and for sending away. To pre-
pare this for use, it is only necessary to
steep it for one hour in warm water,
and then cook the same as fresh vege-
tables.
All cabbages, spinach, parsley, cress,
chervil, succory, and sorrel, are dried.
and pressed to very small volume. 1t
is the same with carrots, turnips,
parsnips, celery, satisfy, and viper's
grass, which are cut in thin slices and
into small pieces, to make Julienne.
CauliAowers, Brussels sprouts, aspara-
gus, and string beans, in order to re-
sumo their natural appearance, should
not be pressed. Potatoes are perfectly
preserved IN thin slices. Peas and
beans, in green state, are succeeded
with very well. Lastly, various fruits,
and especially apples and pears, in
slices, are also dried, and keep per-
fectly.

Scientific.

LEAD PIPES AND WATER SUPPLY.-The
question whether water is poisoned by
flowing through lead pipes was lately
discussed in the French Academy of
Sciences, with results that are calcu-
lated to quiet the apprehensions OF
those who get their water supply
through such pipes. NJ. Dumas stated
that In his chemical lectures he had
long been accustomed to employ a very
simple experiment for the purpose OF
showing that water corrodes lead only
under special conditions. He takes
distilled water, rain water, spring water,
river water, ETC., and drops into each
pieces of lead. 1t is found that only
the distilled water acts on the lead, the
salts of lime in the rest of the speci-
mems preventing the reaction. III. Bel
grand read to the Academy memoir
giving the results of his investigations
into this subject. The ancient Romans
lead water pipes on a large
scale, but vet no Latin medical writer
says anything of lead-poisoning pro-
duced by the water. According to VI.
Belgrand, one sixth of a grain of cal
careous salts to the quart prevents the
OF the lead. He exhibited
to the Academy pieces of lead pipes
which had been in service from the
time OF Louis XIV, without showing
any sign of corrosion and analysis of
water that has passed through q long
line of lead pipes showed the complete
absence of lead.
