Improving Poor Gardens.

A great many tillers of the soil may per.
form an excellent job in cold weather by
way of improving the fertility of their
gardens by wagoning or carting clay and
spreading Il generous dressing over the
surface of Il light soil. 1t should be borne
in mind that our most fertile land is com
posed of IA generous proportion of clay
and sand. a clay soil without sand will
always be found quite too heavy for horti-
cultural purposes of any kind, and IA
sandy soil without clay to retain the fer
tilizing elements and to yield them up to
the roots of growing plants will seldom
delray the expenses incident to cultiva-
ton. In order to produce IL productive
soil it is essential that there he Il proper
proportion of argillaceous material in the
form of clay, Il generous proportion OF
sand which supplies silica, and n liberal
admiXture of carbonaCeous matter in the
form oi humus, peat, muck or vegetable
mould. These facts will afford IL starting
point in the proper preparation of any
soil for garden. Now, then, we will
suppose the land where garden is To be
made is composed largely of sand or sill

A Very Valuable Work.

| "HISToRY OF THE GRANGE MOVEMENT, OR THE
FARMERS WAR AGAINST MoNoPoLIEs."
Being full and authentic account of the
struggles of the American farmers against
the cxtortions of the Railroad Companies
With a History of the Rise and Progress of
the Order of Patrons of Hus 5audry. Pub
lished by the NATIONAL PUBLISHING COM
PANY, of Chicago and St Louis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, unuues-
tionably, the War which the Farmers are
waging against the Monopolies of all
kinds that have for so long been robbing
the people and expressing the toiling
portion of our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American people
against the monopolists, and treats of the
railroad system of the country, its growth,
actual condition and prospects. 1t then
shows how this noble system has been per-
verted to further the ends of selfish CAPT
talsts and railroad directors, who seek
gain at the expense of the community; and
we are given Il terrible and thrilling &C
count of the crimes and frauds of the
railroad corporations of today. The
author wields 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
rupted our Congress, State Legislatures,
and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and their
outrages, the author takes up the cause of
the wronged and oppressed farmers, and
gives us a 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 history of the Order of Pa
irons of Husbandry. a complete ccount
of the organizations and objects of the Or
der is given; its laws and mode of pro-
cedure are stated; and each feature is ex-
planned at length.
1t is decidedly the most interesting and
useful volume of the day, and as it comes
ut "A time when the whole country is suf-
fering intensely from the effects of the
evils it denOunces, cannot fail to have Il
tremendous sale. 1t is an ably written
work, and a bold and vigorous plea in
behalf of the farmers and all who are OPP
pressed and robbed by the grasping Mo-
nopOlies which are causing SO much
trouble-Erchange

the flesh side of the skin and let it lie for
week or two, and it will be well tanned.

ca. If clay, or muck, or both can be OBJ
tanned within a distance of one mile, it
will pay to wagon fifty tons and spread it
evenly on every acre. In many instances
ton of good clay spread over the surface
early in the winter will improve the fer
tility of some light soils almost equal
to a dressing of mari, which will cost five
times as much as the clay. If one has a
team and Il laborer or two, which must be
maintained during the winter, they may
perform a profitable service at wagoning
clay, provided the work is properly super
vised for them. When compact Jumps of
clay are spread on the surface of garden
during the winter the alternate freezing,
thawing and rains will reduce every clod
to fine state of communion before
spring. On. some kinds of grass land
dressing of clay will often produce
yield of three tons of prime hay per acre
where the yield hitherto has been exceed
ingly small.-Ne,o York Rerald

Manurial Value of Wood Ashes and
Lime.

"Agricola" writes as follows: Sow
small grain where brush pile or log
heap has been burned, or where liberal
dressing of ashes has been applied, and
there will be rank growth that will
probably fail and never mature. Sow
grain where lime has been applied to
the soil, and the grain will grown with
stout stiff straw and plump, hardy heads
that mature well. Ashes cause rank
growth of herbaceous parts of plants,
such as leaves, straw and grass; lime in
duces a growth of the woody part of
plants and the grain or fruit. Ashes
stimulate heavy muck and rich or virgin
soils. They appear to disintegrate or
make available what is already in the
soil. They seem to act specially on vege-
table mould and manures from the barn
yard. Apply to the most offensive pile of
compost, and they will render it inodor-
Gus and worthless as fertilizer their effect
being that of relieving the ammonia from
the compost. Ashes used with compost
heap of dccaying vegetable matter would
be wasted-worse than wasted-as they
render the compost inert as a fertilizer.
Applied in an offensive sink, sewer or
cesspool, they serve an excellent purpose
as disinfectant. They promote the
growth of grass and forage especially,
proving very valuable on low lands; will
stimulate trees, etc, to vigorous growth
when the soil is strong. They exhaust
strong soils and injure poor ones. Lime
improves poor soils, especially sandy
ones, by rendering them more compact
and capable of retaining fertility when
applied. AS "a promoter of health and
vigor of apple trees, it is one of the best
applications that can be made to the soil.
Under its influence trees mature well, the
fruit is finer and trees are freer from
disease. Lime may be applied with bene-
fit on most soils and many plants, but is
of special value to the apple tree and
strawberry plant, while ashes are valuable
for heavy or rich soils for the grosser
feeding of plants, such as our native
plums and currant bushcs.-N. Y.

Directions for Building Smoke
House.

A CORRESPONDENT inquiries for directions
for building a smoke-hOuse. 1t should
always be built of stone or brick, if pos
sible; at least the first four or five feet
from the ground should be so, especially
if wood be burned for the household fires,
since then there is almost absolute safety
from fire, and the bottom may then be
used for storing ashes. 1t will require
about six square feet to hang an average
ham. The crOssbars, into which are
driven the hooks for hanging the hams,
should be about eighteen inches apart,
and the hooks the same distance apart
thereon, or say seven hooks to each bar.
A house ten feet square will therefore
hang about fifty hams in each tier; the
upper tier should be two and one-half
feet above tie lower. The lower tier of
hams should not be less than six feet
from the ground. Your lower crossbars
will be eight and one-half feet from the
ground, the upper one, eleven feet, and, if
you choose to put in third tier, this one
will be thirteen and a half feet from the
bottom, which will give the height of
your building. This will be a good pro-
portion, and if only one hundred hams
are required, the lower tiers of crOssbars
may be omitted, which will give greater
distance from the fire to the meat.
Projections must be left in the wall as
supports to the crOsSbarS, and the hooks
should be similar to those used by butch
ers, SO they may be moved at will. Ven
tilation must be provided at the top to al
low the escape of the smoke; the venti-
lator to be so protected as to exclude light
and flies 1t is also far better if the fire
place be disconnected from the house and
the smoke carried thence through suit
able tlue or pipe. By this means you
may always have your meat secure from
flies.
In hanging the hams, the top tier is
first filed an assistant handing the meat
as fast as wanted. Commencing at one
side, fill one bar, then place another, and
so proceed until the whole is finished,
using a proper step-ladder to enable the
work to be done eaSilY-Western RurnI

To THE SUFFERING.-An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell
the truth about progress, has declared
that the recent discovery by DIR. WALKER,
of California, of his herb remedy, Vim
EGAR BITTERS, is one of the most i'm
portant in medicine. He has tested them
thoroughly, in his own family, among
his friends, and upon himseLf;: and he is
driven to the conclusion that they possess
rare and uneXcelled curative properties.
He says of them: "They contain no dan
gerous drug. They never reduce the
patient-never render one liable to take
cold-never interfere with the everyday
business of life-never make their contin-
uous use a condition of cure, and are
adapted to even the most delicate organ
ization. They act as kindly on the tender
infant, the delicate female, or infirm old
age, as on the vigorous and athletic sys-

DoN'T TAMPER WITH A CoUGH.-Perhaps in
the whole category of diseases to which hui

generally regarded as a temporary afiliction-
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases--Consumption cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure the
