A good reHed dy to remove warts is a
tincture of cantharides, with few drops
of iodine. Apply to the warts with a
small brush three or four times day. In
a short time they will disappear.

A brave women of Boston, who refuses
to have her name made public, was left
in charge of several children, Il few nights
ago, aud one OF them being taken sick .,
she summoned woman servant to carry
a prescription to the apothecary's for
some medicine ; but the servant came,
frightened out Of her wits, saying that
there was burglar concealed in a certain
closed. The woman went straight to the
door aud said: If there is anybody in
this closet, let him come out )" where up
on a big, sinister looking negro stepped
forth. The woman then, with the ut,
most GOODNESS, handed him the prescrip
ton, saying, "Take this to the nearest
apothecary's and get it filed. There is a
sick child in the house" The black
burglar left without word meanwhile
the woman, who began to feel little
faint, called a neighbor. The latter was
about to 20 to apothecary's for the medi.
cine when clerk called with it, saying
that negro had brought the prescription
and then disappeared.

How TO CURE SPLIT HooF.-I had
horse that had both hoofs split
from top to bottom. He could not
walk without his feet spreading
apart. l kept him three months on
straw one foot deep in the stable,
but all did no good. At last went
to the blacksmith shop and had
shoes made which spread wide at
the heels. To these heavy shoes
there was welded, at the outside Of
each heel, piece made Of shoe nail
iron. These pieces were made to
fit we'll around the foot, about an
inch below the hair. l let the pieces
come together within half an inch
each, and turned up about three
fourths of an inch. In the turned
up part, a hole was made to receive
bolt an inch long, with square
head and screw and nut on the
other end. On mailing the shoes
on and putting the bolt in and screw
ing on the nut, the foot was brough
together. In this way, l was en-
abled to work him every day if
wished. Previous to this my horse
had not walked one mile in tire,
months. Next day after 1 hat
the shoes pnt on l drove him in I
carriage twenty miles, and hav'
used him right along.-Cor. Gin

How Good Butter 10 Made.

The Boston Journal of Chemistry
says: "Tho market is abundantly
supplied with poor butter, but Of
finer quantities the supply is very
limited. 1t is matter of wonder
that dairy farmers do not regard
their interests more wisely in manu-
featuring this more important farm
product. 1t requires but very lit
tie more skill and care to send to
market butter which finds ready
sale at high prices, than to send
that which nobody wants, and which
if sold, goes at low price. 1t is
impossible for any produce to be in
the slightest degree Independent
and above-board who is contented
to make an article Of second or
third quality. If a dairyman in
New Hampshire or any other State
wishes to conduct his business sue
cessfully, let him come to the city
and ascertain the character of the
product which every dealer is anx-
ious to procure, and for which he
is willing to pay high prices in
ready money. Many farmers at a
distance from the city do not really
know what perfect butter is, having
never seen the article. Finding, as
we do, ready sale for our milk al
most at our own door, we have not,
to much extent, turned it into but
ter, therefore our supplies come
from those who raise milk under
different circumstances. SO diff
cult is it to procure perfect butter
in the market that frequently we
have waited a week before any could
be found when found, the price is
about double that for which ordin'
airy qualities are sold, and the price
cheerfally paid. How to make good
butter can be easily understood
Good butter COWS are necessary
and also care and perfect cleanli
ness in milking, straining, and set
ting the milk. Without cool, airy
sweet rooms, especially designed
for dairy purposes, it is impossible
to make perfect butter. 1t cannot
be produced in ordinary convent
ences. Those who produce butter
largely, or even moderately, should
have plenty of ice in the summer
and in winter, the warmth needed
should not come from stove in thu
room, as 1t is difficult to proven
contamination by dust and gases
The art of making good butter Ii
like other industries-it must b'
learned ; and there are certainly Dt
investigations that a dairy farme
can make, which will give him bet
ter pecuniary returns for his trou
ble."

An Outgrowth Of Other Disease.

Catarrh sometimes exists alone,
but is more frequently symptom
of othea diseased conditions. The
following letter explains it:
CoLL1NGwooD, Onondaga Co., N.
Y, Jan. 25, 1872.
DR.. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear SHALLOW me to give you
brief history of the effect of your
medicine called "Golden Medical
Discovery" in my case. l am now
in my seventy-fourth year, and nat
urally Of firm constitution. Within
the last few years, from over-exer-
else, l have been afflicted with a
complication of diseases almost in
credible to relate. In the first
place Catarrh, to a degree that, to
me, it seemed that my voice passed
out at my ears, TO which was added
it's natural ally-Bronchitis; to
which, at no great length of time,
were added Neuralgia pains in the
head and shoulders and bloating of
the lower limbs, the most of which
was superinduced by torpid state
of the liver. l had the advice of
several eminent physicians, and
tried almost every known remedy
for such complaints without relief.
A rapid loss of strength and waste
of flesh, reminded me that | could
not long withstand the combined
force of disease which was fast bear
ing me down. l gave up all bust
ness, made my will, had my grave
stone placed in position and letter
ed except date of exit, and resigned
myself to my couch to await events.
Not long after this I saw your ad-
vertisement, procured your RENE
dies-I am now on the second half
dozen bottles of your Golden Medi-
cal Discovery-have good appe-
tite, have gained fifteen pounds of
flesh-no more talk out of my ears
no more bloatlng of the limbs, can
walk two or three miles with ease,
and feel that you have given me a
lease of ten or fifteen years-sub-
ject, however, to the ratification of
the court above. That you may
live long to do good to suffering hui
manity, is the sincere wish of
Your unknown friend,

A correspondent Of the Maine
Farmer speaks these good words
for the house-dog: "What hard.
working farmer, on returning at
night to rest his weary limbs, does
not feel that he is more safe from
burglars, and his stock, fowls and
orchards more secure from thieves
and midnight providers, both two
and four-legged, if he has a good,
faithful dog about his premises?
What good wife-and all such pre-
fer leaving their hard days work
on the clothes-line during the dews
Of night-does not feel that her
clothes are more safe if Bose is in
the yard? When the little ones
are off berrying, fishing or wander.
ing in the woods, what parent does
not feel less anxious if Bose is with
them? When you are absent from
home overnight, do you not feel
that home is more secure if Bose
guards the premises?-and who
greets your return with a more
cheerful welcome than he? From
the earliest period of history the
dog has been the faithful ccmpan-
ion ofman, and is the only species
of the brute creation that will for
sake its own species and follow
him. A dog may be taught to be
useful in many ways, even to the
saving of human life. You can
easily learn a dog to 60 into the wa
ter and bring out stick, your hat
or coat; and by filling suit ofyour
boys clothes with straw, and throw
ing it into the river, your dog will
bring it it out; and if your little boy
should accidently fall into the wa
ter, Bose would soon land him on
the shore.

A Massachusetts farmer says:
"My cattle will follow me until l
leave the lot, and on their way to
the barnyard in the evening stop
and call for a lot of hay"
Smithson says there is nothing
remarkable III that. He went into
a barnyard in the country one day
last week where he had not the
slightest acquaintance with the cat
tie, and an old bull not only follow
ed him till he left the lot, but took
the gate off the hinges and raced
with HIM up to the house in the
most familiar manner possible
Smithson says he has no doubt the
fellow would have called for some.
thing if he had waited little while,
but he did not want to keep the
folks Whiting dinner. so he hung one
tail Of his coat and piece OF his
pants on the bulls horns and went
into the house.

Seasonable Suggestions.

Grating out Of doors should not
be done till the warm days and the
buds begin to swell.
Grape vines that were not pruned
last fall, must be attended to before
the flow ofsap, but not when frozen.
Fence posts soaked in lime water,
it is positively asserted will last as
long again. In Iowa we need some
thing Of this kind.
Now is the time for tree agents.
Look carefully at their fine pictures
of fruit. 1t looks tempting, but be
careful you are not charmed by the
gaudy paint.
Cattle and hogs need salt all the
year round. 1t is too often neglect
ed in winter. A good way to salt
cattle in winter, is by brine put on
straw or hay. A little every day is
the best rule. And little every
day in slop for hogs.
Cows coming in early need extra
attention. With a plenty Of dry
food, they should have some roots,
such as turnip, or mangel wortzel,
to keep them in good physical con-
dition.
Horses that have been idle during
the winter, and feeding on hay and
corn stalks, should now be fed with
grain to prepare them for tho spring
work. Commence on small feeds,
and increase it gradually.
Cions and cuttings, for grating,
and for hedges or groves, should be
cut before the sap flows, at any time
when not frozen. Stakes and will
low tor fencing can be cut at any
time in February or March, and
protected with damp straw or dirt
till time to put out.-Des Moimes

In answer to one who inquired
about using small potatoes for seed
the Mobile Register replied "Wc
should never use the smallest sized
potatoes for seed, neither would we
select the largest. A potato meas
uring about an inch through the
short way is, in our opinion, the
most suitable size to put out for
"draws." In our experience we have
obtained better results from such
potatoes, than from those Of any
other size. If we were forced to
vary we would make choice oflarger
size-no rat-tail potato seed for us"

To measure the contents of a
stack Of hay proceed as follows: If
it is round stack, tapering to q
point from the ground. measure the
width halfway between the ground
and the peak Of the stack, multiply
this width by itself, and divide the
sum by 1854; this will give the ave-
rage area of the surface covered by
the stack. Then multiply that by
the height from the ground to the
point where the width was measur-
cd. If these measurements are feet
the sum found is cubic feet in the
stack. If the hay is timothy, Or
chard grass, millet or Hungarian,
500 feet will make ton, or cube,
eight feet each way. If the stack
is very solid, and was cut when
dead ripe, $50 feet will make a ton
or cube of seven feet each way.
If the hay is mixed with clover,
about 700 feet, or cube, nine feet
each way, will make ton. fit is
clover, or light meadow grass, or
redtop, 500 feet will be required to
make a ton, unless it is pressed
very hard, when some allowance
must be made. These estimates
are from notes of great many
stacks and mows OF various kinds,
and will give a fair average.

Art Department--l874.

The illustrations of The Aldine have won q
world wide reputation, and in the art centers Of
are examples of the highest perfection ever at
tanned. The common prejudice in favor Of
"steel plates" is rapidly yielding to more edu-
Gated and discriminating taste which recognizes
greater facility Of production. The woodcuts OF
the Aldine possess all the delicacy and elaborate
finish OF the most costly steel plate. while they af
ford better rendering of the artists original.
In addition to designs by members Of the Ma
tional Academy, and other noted American ar.
fists, the Aldinel will reproduce examples OF
the highest artistic success and greatest general
interest. Thus the subscriber to the Aldine will
at a trihing cost, enjoy in hts own home the ref
ming influences and pleasure Of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will be by
ThOs. Moran and J. d. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain spec.
al designs appropriate to the season, by our best
predecessors.
