Sticking Peas.

Most people, says Forney's Press, when
they 60 to seed store to buy peas, ask
for kinds that need no sticks to run on.
1t may be taken for general rule, in
which there are few exceptions, that peas
that need no sticks are not worth sticking.
1t is only when they grow up something
that they bear freely. In most places
some brushwood may be gathered and
saved for the purpose. Sometimes, how
ever, it is not convenient to find any. A
hint as to a substitute may be useful in
such cases. We take the following from
the London Field:
"TO those who have to procure stakes
at a great cost, the following method will
prove advantageous, being very cheap,
simple and easily performed. A few
rough stakes should be obtained and
driven into the ground on each side of
the row about twelve feet apart. These
stakes should be of corresponding
height to that OF. the peas, and when the
required number for line is inserted,
some tar Irvine or other strong cord may
be tied to the end stake, and passed along
the line of stakes, making turn on each
within few inches of the ground, and as
growth progress yes raise the next turn a
little higher, advancing in succession un-
I'll the plants attain their full height.
These lines being run on at the right time,
the tendrils of the peas will clasp firmly
round them and support the plants quite
equal to the well-known plan of sticking.
Some imagine an advantage to be OBJ
tanned in this way of training, as the lines
get better circulation of air, and pods
can be gathered at all times without in
juring the haulm."

Success Based Upon Merit

It is subject of general remark among
both wholesale and retail druggists that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such popularity and met
with so large sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length of time, as Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case.
the correct explanation, we think, is found
in the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures Of very bad
cases of bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient
remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever
been introduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest of blood-purifying
and strengthening properties that medical
science has been able to produce, thus render
ing it sovereign remedy not only in the cure
OF Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, as scrofulous diseases, blotches,
rough skin, pimples, black specks and discol-
orations 1t has, therefore, wide range of
application and usefulness, and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations of the
praise, and making permanent living advertis-
ing mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps drug
glst in all the vast domain of this continent
who tries to please his customers and supply
their wants that does not keep and sell large
quantities OF this most valuable medicine.
JEsUr, Iowa, May 5, 1873.
DEAR SIR-We take pleasure in saying that
your Medicines have sold entirely beyond our
expectations. We regard them as the best
medicines extant and hear them spoken of in
the highest terms of praise.

Tools for Farmers.

DON'T buy chest filled with tools ready
for work. Ifyou have had good deal
OF experience and know what you want,
you can buy a chest and select the tools
yourself, but if you get one which some
one else has furnished you may, to be
sure, get good set of tools, but there will
be many for which you will find but little
use. Even regular mechanics have differ
ent ways OF using tools, and an ingenious
amateur will often make shift to do with
out certain tools which carpenter or
blacksmith considers indispensable. Here
are some good suggestions which we clip
from the AgricultuTist::
Every farmer should ;have a small
room, tight and warm, which he can lock,
and where he can keep his small tools.
Then he wants good solid work-bench,
with an iron wise on one side and
wooden one on the other. For iron work
ing, he wants solid piece of iron for an
anvil, a seven.pOund steel face.hammer, a
rlveting hammer, one large and one small
cold chisel, two or three punches from
one-fourth to three. eighths inch, a trimmer
and counter-sink, to be used with bit
stock, screw plate that will cut screw
from one-fourth to three-fourths inch; then
with round iron of the various sizes, and
ready-made nuts, he can make any bolt he
wishes. For carpenter work he wants a
square, shaving.horse, drawing knife, a
set of planes, auger from one half to two
inches. bits from one.fOurth to tive-eighths
inch, bitst0ck, thin chisel from one fourth
to one inch, framing chisels from one to
two inches, fine hand-saw with coarse
cross. cut and rip saw, large cross-cut saw
for logs, and a grindstone. '-Christian

many excellent people, without other
mental defect, find themselves sadly en-
barrassed by their utter inability to re-
member anything in q witness box.
Furry and diffidence are the causes of
the trouble in such cases, doubtless, but
neither furry nor diffidence can account
for the fact that with many people proper
names are never forthcoming when
wanted. We know man, not at all diff
f1dent, who, in addressing his most init
mate friend, is sure to call him, "Ah-,"
or i" Mr.. ah-," unable for the instant
to recall name which comes to him the
very moment that it's coming is too late.
Very provoking must it be too to re.
member everything approximately and
vaguely, but nothing accurately or with
certainty; and the people who suffer thus
are not few. They recall everything in
shadowy form, and are never quite GER
tain of anything past. The facts of yes
terday are to them only uncertain ghosts
of fact, resembling their originals, but
presenting themselves in 80 uncertain and
ill-detlned outline as to be wholly useless
for any practical purpose. These are
they who make lawyers heads grow gray,
and convince the rest of the world that
stupidity is the common lot.
Still more provoking to its possessor
must be that not uncommon kind of men,
Dry which recalls all but the essential
part Of the thing wanted. If it be a jest
or story, they remember all of it but
the point. And people of this sort are
very apt too to be much given to the
telling of good stories, persisting in the
attempt in spite of repeated failure. They
hurl cOnundrums at their friends On all
occasions -e excellent conundrums-o of
which, when their friends "g1vc
it up" they are sure to forget
the answers. They tell stories excel
lently so far as beginnings and middles
are concerned, breaking down only at the
very end, and forcing the listener to con.
tent himself with the assurance that the
forgotten climax was "very good-very
good indeed" To be constantly with
such people is equivalent to perpetual
course Of reading the half sheets issued
by the story papers for advertising pur-
poses, in which, just as the readers inter
est is fairly aroused, he is quietly informed
that "the rest ofthis story may be found"
etc, etc., etc.
Now, for these and all other serious de-
fects in our memories we have to thank
ourselves and our teachers; ourselves be-
cause, by determined effort, we may cure
the i'll if we choose; our teachers because
almost every bad memory is the result of
educational laundering. In our schools
the memory is used too much and trained
too little. It is overtaxed and left undis..
ciplined. 1t is required to do work
which belongs of right to other faculties,
and is not properly drilled in the art of
doing its own-Hearth and Home,

Clean Up the Walks.

In my first experience at hoeing corn

like most boys, to give the last hill in the
row IA lick and PROMISE" instead of
finishing it up in a workmanlike manner

ten the lesson learned so long ago, and it
frequently comes to my mind as see the
grass and weeds crowding the hills
around the edges of corn or potato field
in summer. These are pretty sure signs
that somebody has failed to hoe out his
row. The neglected fence corners, half:
plowed headlands, deep, barren, dead
burrows to be seen upon thousands of
farms, in whatever direction we NAV
travel, show plainly enough that the
owners or occupants were never taught
and compelled to "hoe out their row."

young OF never hoeing out the row crops

Lotion of Acetic Acid for Badness
The following lotion is superior for a

The Dahlia.-The dahlia has come
before the people lately in the shape of q
bit of history connected with the family
of the Hollands of Holland House. lii
some memoirs lately published there is
an account of its introduction from some
other part of the world, its narrow escape
from being eaten as vegetable, etc. ; and
after this fortunate escape it became the
parent from which all dahlias sprung. It
seems strange that so many curious
things have been in just this danger; the
potato, the tulip, and we don't know
what, all barely escaped a voyage down
some human throat, and just in time to
render their names with us forever blest
1t would seem as if there must have been
q wondrous disposition on the part of our
forefathers to devour everything that
came to hand. In these days people gen.
orally take more care to know what they
are eating, and all is not fish that comes
to their net.-Forney's Press.
Taking of the surplus water is only
advantage of underdrains. They also one

Mr.. Prout, the English famer, who keeps
no stock, but depends on commercial
manure to keep up the fertility of his soil,
is of opinion that his great success in
growing crops is as much due to his very
thorough tile draining as to his chemical
manures. Ridging and trenching a gar
den in the fall is great promoter of
early vegetation in the spring, and almost
indispensable in many soils The frosts
