UsefuI Hints and Receipts.

GREASE UPON Floors. An Iowa lady
writes that grease can be readily drawn
from an Imprinted kitchen floor by
putting plenty of soft-soap on the
grease spot, and rubbing a hot fat
iron through the soap. One applioa.
ton generally suffices; sometimes
another is required, washing thorough.
ly afterwards.
To KEEP ONIONS. The best way of
keeping onions for family use is the
old-fashioned one of stripging them.
Gather them without breaking off the
tops. Take up three or four and
string through the tops. and tie q
string around them to secure them
firmly. Add more onions, and tie IN
til you have string a foot or more in
length. Hang them in dry place and
they will keep any length of time.
How TO TAKE A Pill. place it un.
per the tip of the tongue, and take a
drink of water. The biggest bolus
will so down almost without your
knowing it. The taste left in the
mouth after taking such bitter medi-
cines as quinine, aloes, nux-vomica,
etc., is instantly neutralized by
chewing piece of liquorice root.
LIGHT IN THE Room FOR THE SICK
The late physician to the Emperor
of Russia made a careful study of the
effect of light as a curative agent in
the hospital of st. Petersburg. He
discovered chat the number of patients
who were cured in rooms properly
lighted was four times as large as it
was when they were confined in dark
rooms.
PREVENTIVE WASH FOR SUNBURN. -
Take two drachms of borax, one drachm
of Roman alum, one drachm of cam
phor, half an ounce of sugar candy,
one pound of OK gall. Mix these all
together, and stir them we'll for ten
minutes; repeat the stirring four times
a day for fortnight, at the end OF
which time the lotion will appear clear
and transparent. Stra n through blot
ting paper and bottle for use. Wash
your face with this every time you go
into the sunshine.
FASTENING TIE RIPENING OF PEARS.
One of our Yankee cultivators, as an
experiment, removed the earth about
an early pear tree eight weeks before
the normal period of ripeuing, for a
space of 70 to 10 feet in diameter, and
to such an extent as to leave depth of
earth over the roots of only about two
inches or so, which could be thorough
ly warmed by the sun. He was sur
prised not only by the ripeniDg of the
fruit in the middle of July, but also by
its superior juciness and flavor. La
another experiment the removal of the
earth from the north side of tree
alone caused the fruit on that side to
ripen several days earlier than that on
the south side.-Boston Journal OF
Chemistry.

saltsriainR Rread.

A correspondent Of the Household
gives the following recipe for making
salt-rising bread, which is superior to
common yeast bread. and is considered
by some as more wholesome,
Put three teacups OF water, as warm
as you can bear your finger in, in a
two-quart cup or bowl, and three.
tourths-of teaspoonful of salt stir in

ter; this is for the risings, or empty
ings, as some call it. Set the bowl,
closely covered, in a kettle, in warm
water, as warm as you can bear your
finger in, and keep it as near this tenn
perature as possible. Notice the time
when you "set" your rising; in three
hours stir in two tablespoonfuls of
hour, put ii back, and in five and one
hall hours from the time of setting, it
will be within one inch of the top of the
bowl. 1t is then light enough, and will
make up eight quarts of -four make a
sponge in the centre Of your -four with
one quart OF water of the same temper
ature as the rising, stir the rising in 10
1T cover over with a little dry -four,
and putt where it will keep very warm,
but not scald III three-fourths of an
hour mix this into stiff dough If water
is used, be sure il is very warm, and do
not work as much as yeast bread make
the loaves little larger, and keep it
warm for another three-quarters of an
hour i; 1T will then be ready to bake.
While rising this last time have your
oven heating it needs hotter oven
than yeast bread. If these rules
are followed, you will have bread as
white as snow, with a light brown
crust, deliciously sweet and tender.

Etrnscan Numerals.

At late meeting of the Pathological
Society paper on Etruscan numerals
was read by the Rev. Isaac Taylor He
said that the long.sought key to the
Etruscan language had been found in
tomb, having their six faces marked
with words instead of by pips. Mr..
Taylor examined these six words in
detail, and showed that they we're iden-
tical with the first six digits belonging
to the Altaic branch of the Tnranian
family of speech. Guided by this clue
1t was easy to show that the grammar
and vocabulary of the 5000 Etruscan
inscriptions were also Altaic. The
words denoting kindred, tic pronouns,
the participates, and the declensions
correspondent closely with those of the
Tartar tribes of Siberia. The Etrus-
can mythology proved to DO essentially
the same as that OF the Kalevala, the
great Finnic epic.

Winter and Spring wheat

The distinction between winter and
spring wheat is difference in the time
of sowing and not in the variety. Any
spring wheat can be changed into win
ter or winter into spring, merely by
gradually changing the time in which
either is sown. BY gradually sowing
spring wheat earlier every season, in a
few years it can be sown in the fall,
and become winter wheat. Or Just be
fore the close of winter, SOW winter
wheat and let it terminate slightly,
then let it freeze up till spring, and
next year 1t can be successfully sown in
tho spring. And it is universally con-
ceded that winter is better than spring
wheat, 1T is natural conclusion that
the sooner wheat can be safely sown in
the spring the nearer will it attain to
the quality of winter wheat. The DIFF.
ference-between red and white wheats
is not in variety, but is owing chiefly
to the variety of coil on which il is
grown.
1t is said that the hard wheats are
ali natives of warmer climates, such as
italy, Sicily and Barbary. The soft
wheats are from more northern cli-
mates, such as England, Russia, Bel
GUM, Denmark and Sweden. There
is, however, one exception to this gen.
eral rule, as the celebrated Polish
wheat is hard, and for this reason il
81 has been contended that it was not
native of Poland, but was introduced
there from milder climate. The
English atmosphere is SO humid that it
is impossible to ripen any wheat hard,
but in many cases il requires artificial
heat TO harden it before it can be
ground into flour. Different soils and
climates materially change the nature
and variety Of wheat,

the Railroad Companies. Win q
History of the Rise and Progress ofthe
Order of Patrons of HuSbdndry.
Published 6y the National Publishing
Co., of Chicago
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, I'M
questionably, the War which the Far
mers are wagingagainst the Monopolies
OF all kinds that have for SO long been
robbing the people and expressing the
tolllng portion OF our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the Monopolists, and treats
OF the railroad system of the country,
Its growth, actual condition and pros
poets. 1t then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends OF selfish capitalists and rail-
road directors, who seek gain at the
expense Of the community; and we are
given terrible and thrilling account of
the crimes and frauds Of the railroad
corporations of to day. The author
Yields fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country; how
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our CONGRESS-, State Legisla-
TIRES, and Courts of Justice.
Passing from Monopolists and their
outrages, the authortakes up the cause
of the wronged and oppressed farmers,
and gives us detailed statement of
the evils from which the farming class
is suffering. He analyses skillfully the
causes Of these evils, and shows how
and by whom the farmers are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted TO o history Of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete
account of the organization and object
of the order is given; its laws and
mode of procedure are stated; and
each feature is explained at length.
II is decidedly the most interesting
aud useful volume of the day, and as
it comes at time when the whole coun
try is suffering intensely from the effects
of the evils it denounces, cannot fail TO
have q tremendous sale. 1t is an ably
written work, and bold and vigorous
plea in behalf of the farmers and all
who are oppressed and robbed by the
Monopolies which are causing
80 much trouble.
The book is sold by subscription
only, and the publishers want agents
in every county. See advertisement in
another column.

Whatever the cause of this proceeding

was kept to herself. She packed up
her furniture and quietly left for her
new home and associations. For nine
long years she has lived in her strangely
chosen home, in the meantime her de

homestead, keeping alive the fire on
the hearthstone and moving
along apparently contented and
happy, as though nothing unusual
had happened. But the strangest
part is the sequel. The other day the
spirit moved the old lady to leave
Shakerdom, and return to the scenes
of her former home. This she does,
and is cordially received by the long.
deserted but still faithful husband.
He goes more than halfway to meet
the returning prodigal wife. The veal

II a SOW shows herself a good breed

II a SOW shows herselfa good breed
or, it is economy to keep her several
years as breeder, for the extra num-
Der of pigs she will rear will pay for
the extra feed. Great care should be
used not TO give the SOW, while in pig,
too much concentrated food. The prin-
cipal brood is farrowed in sping, and
consequently the SOW is kept in doors
during winter, and she is too often fed
almost wholly on grain, which is apt to
keep her in O feverish and constipated
condition. This often causes the pigs
to be but poorly developed and too
puny to rear. She should be fed, as q
part of diet, upon roots--turnips, beets,
carrots--or other green and laxative
food when obtainable, or, in lieu of
these, upon second crop clover cut
green, or upon nicely cured aftermath
of timothy or other fine grass, with her
grain.
This is best if cut short and mixed
in small quantity with the meal and
grain. But if none of these coarse
foods are at hand, then take bran and
a very little oil meal, and mix all into
slop with the grain to be fed. This
will keep the bowels of the breeding
SOW in nearly the same condition as on
grass. This latter diet, continued after
she has farrowed, will cause a good
flow OF milk, and not too rich. The
same attention should be given to the
SOW, while sucking pIgs, as to a COW
from which you desire a good flow of
milk-feed her abundantly upon good,
nourishing food. -LtUs Stock Journal

Breeding swine

II does not follow that because il is
profitable TO make the greatest weight
Of carcass fortho butcher at ten months.
that 1t is also profitable 10 breed from
either sex at so early an age. We are
aware that some excellent breeders
advise that the SOW should have her
FIRST litter OF twelve months; but eight
months is too young for the sow Co
have acquired the proper maturity TO
be coupled with the boar, and the pigs
in many such cases are weak ard puny.
Nothing is really gained by coupleinR
before the SOW is ten TO twelve months
old. The pigs will be much more valu.
able under the latter plan.
We believe that too early breeding
reduces the number of healthy pigs
reared, more than all the gain in time
is worth. From several reports we have
received from large breeders, four per
litter is full average raised from this
early breeding, while il the SOW is all
lowed further 10 mature, six would be
the average in breeding upon a large
scale. There is no doubt that the at
tention given TO high feeding and early
maturity during the last few years has
rendered the SOW iii 70 breed earlier
than formerly, but there is danger Of
carrying this too far and thus weaken
