Barking up the Right Tree.

Although farmers are sometimes dub
bed with the cognomen of grumblers,
yet methinks that as class they accept
of their situation with as much sang
froid as those engaged in other pursuits.
The Patrons of Husbandry, if / am
rightly informed, are laboring zealously
to educate the farming community, and
elevate their calling to an honorable and
profitable position as compared with
other pursuits of the country. They
aim, as all honest, intelligent farmers do,
to put check upon moneyed monopolists
to secure cheaper transportation, and
regulate the manufacturing interests of
the nation In short, to regulate the
laws of trade, that the farmer can re-
ceive as fair percentage upon his pro-
auctions as that of any other calling or
pursuit. Is it grumbIing to make this
modest request? Does justice demand
that the farmer shall give two bushels of
wheat to sell the third? Does common
sense teach us that it is right and just
for a farmer to pay S125 for a moving
machine that costs only $50 to manufae-
ture? We are told that it costs round
sum of money to advertise and get agri-
cultural implements into the market. If
a manufacturer has a good tool which
the farmers need and must have, it takes
but little time to introduce it, if sold at
a reasonable percentage above cost. But
should the farmers be called grumblers,
because they ask manufacturers of agri-
cultural implements to sell at profit
of twenty-five to thirty per cent, when
farmers, as class, do not realize over
three or five per cent. on the capital and
labor invested in producing the neces-
saries Of life for man and beast?
Who, we ask, are better entitled to
fair remuneration for their labors than
those who labor, both mentally and phys
ically, to produce the DEMONSTRATING
elements for countless millions2 IF these
are grumblers, thank God that they
exist, and may they increase and multi |
ply till they reach from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from the lakes to the
gulf, or from Maine to the Rio Grande. |

How TO make.a Mustard Plarser.

How many people are there who really
know how to make a mustard plaster !.
Not one in hundred, 81 most, perhaps,
and yet mustard plasters are used IN every
family, and physicians prescribe their
application, never telling anybody how
to make them, for the simple reason that
the doctors do not know, as rule. The
ordinary way is to mix the mustard with
water, tempering it with little flour;
but such plaster as that makes i simply
abominabl Before il has half done It's
work, it begins to blister the patient, and
leaves finally with painful, ,fayed
spot, after having produced far less
effect In beneficial way than was intend
ed
Now, mustard poultice should never
make blister at ALL If blister Is
wanted, there are other plasters far better
than mustard for the purpose. When
you make mustard plaster, then, use
no water whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white of an egg, and the result
will be plaster that will draw" perfect
", but will not produce a blister, even
upon the skin of an infant, no matter how
long it is allowed to remain upon the
part. For this, says the Household, We
have the word OF an old and eminent
physician, as well as our experience.

GET "a Reputation.

Success in this world depends very
much upon reputation. In spite OF al
| that is said. there is a good deal III {
name, and a good name pays. Wher
we want to buy an article, we hunt fol
one that has a reputation for being good
that Is, for one made by a manufacturer
who has established character for max
/ inc good articles-and when we find it.
pay more for it than we would for a SINH
| lar article which, for aught we can see,
| is, and for aught we know, may be just
as good, but which wars made by some
body we never heard of. The reason
for this is obvious. We are wiling to
pay for the assurance or warranty which
the trade mark Of a reputable maker
gives us, rather than trust our own Judg-
ment, or the chance of getting good
thing from an unknown source.
This is so with machinery, tools,
clothing and nearly everything else that
we buy, including the products OF the
farm. There are farmers who have sold
their butter in Manchester, the past
summer, for fifty cents per pound, CON
tracing it in advance. Others have
very likely sold just as good butter for
thirty-fve cents, and the difference has
been owing to the fact that the former
had a reputation and the latter none.
When our citizens bought the butter OF
the first class, they felt certain that they
would get a gilt-edged article. When
the other butter was put upon the mar
ket, it had to be sold with the risk of its
not being No. /; and the same Is true
of cheese, milk, cider, vinegar, pork,
and, in fact, of all that is bought and
sold in this city. 1t is easy then, to see
how important it is for a farmer to estab-
fish reputation-tO get the name Of
raising and selling the best. When he
has done this, his produce viii not only
sell readily, but at almost his own prices.
But a reputation is "a plant Of slow
growth" 1t takes not only time, but a
constant vigilant care
To get reputation for the butter of
a certain farm, for instance, it must not
only produce fine article, but it must
do it all the time; there must be no break
in the chain; for reputation, like many
other things, is only as strong as its
weakest part, and single poor article
willneutralze the effect Of fifty good ones.
When man buys thing upon the rep
utation of the maker, he wants to feel
that there is absolute certainty Of his
getting a good thing. If he can have
this, he is willing to pay for it on top of
the market price, but he viii not pay
extra for mere probability.
We ask our farmer friends to remem-
Der this, and to build up for themselves
a reputation. When a thing is sold as
good thing, let it be good, without any
ifs or butts, and if, perehance, a poor
thing must be got rid of, let it be sold
as poor. When you put an article upon
the market, let it be understood beyond
doubt or question, that it is all you re-
commend This is not only honesty,
but, as we have shown, money in your
and Far.

Hints on house Cleaning.

Paint should be cleaned by using only
a little water at a time and changing
often; a soft flannel cloth or sponge is
better than cotton or brush a piece of
pine wood with a sharp point should be
used for the corners. Where the paint
is stained with smoke, some ashes or
potash-lye may be used A soft linen
towel should be used for wiping dry.
Glass should not be cleaned with soap !;
a little paste Of whiting and water should
be rubbed over, and with another it
should be rinsed off, and the glass polished
with a soft linen or old silk handkerchief.
Alcohol or bezine is a good thing to clean
glass, and clean paper is probably better
than any cloth, sponge or towel; dry
paper leaves an excellent polish.
Marble may be cleaned with a mixture
of two parts Of common soda, one pari
of pumieestone and one of chalk, finely
powdered and tied up in a fine muslin
rag; the marble is wetted with water,
the powder is shaken over it, and it is
rubbed with a soft cloth until clean, then
washed in clean water and dried with
soft linen or silk handkerchief No
soap or polls h should be allowed on mar
BILE. A good furniture polish is made by
melting two ounces of beeswax, one
ounce of turpentine, and one ounce of
powdered resin together, with a gentle
heat, and rubbing when cold with soft
flannel cloth, and polishing with a soft
linen or or silk cloth. If for mahogany,
little Indian red may be mixed in.
Cracks in furniture may be filled with
putty, mixed with Indian red or brown
amber, to get the desired shade. When
dry, it will take an equal polish with the
wood.

A horse is never vicious or intractable
without a direct cause. If a horse is
FESTIVE or timorous, you may be sure
that these faults arise from defects in his
education. He has been treated either
awkwardly or brutally. Commence the
education of a horse at his birth; aecus-
tom him to the presence, voice and sight
of man speak and act gently; caress
him do not startle him. All chastise-
ments or cruelty confuse the animal ard
make him wild. They are good men
