How to Raise More Fruits.

FRUITS should be raised in greater
abundance. At present they are quite
too dear to permit them to be used very
freely, especially our home fruits. This
lack makes fruit diet almost as expen-
sivc as a meat diet, and when the two
are united the expense is appalling.
More fruit should be planted everywhere.
Our city and village friends should hus-
band the little space they have in grapes,
pears, gooseberries, cherries and plums,
or in whatever is most expensive, or to
which the soil is best adapted in any par
ticular locality. In no way can given
space be made to produce larger returns,
and many city lot SO titled would re-
duce the grocer's fruit bill to an insignifi-
cant item, besides paying for itself in the
saving of doctors bills. Vines and es-
paliers may be trained on the walls,
bushes border the sides, and trees stand
in the back end; while the low roofs, if
there are any, may be made to sustain
choice pumpkins and squashes. We will
not say how much might be done ON the
top of the house, though that is more ia
vorable for the culture of plants in pots,
which may be removed in winter.
Soils adapted mostly to fruits must be
better appreciated and more cultivated,
so that they will not monopolize land
that is already costly, because 1t will
raise grass and grain. The sandy lands
Of the New Jersey Pines" afford good
illustration Of what can be done in this
direction. Lands that until lately have
been almost worthless because they
= wouldn't Taise grass" are among the
best producers Of small fruits in the
country.
Fruit trees should be set out freely
along he roadside and n other places

Lice on Cattle.

THE North British Agriculturist, in an
article on vermin on cattle, gives some
suggestions as how to treat the pest. 1t
would take time by the foretop, and on the
slightest indication of their presence
make prompt examination, and if lice
are detected apply remedy. 1t is useless
to wait until the unfortunate wretch has
removed the hair from his own skin and
spread his tormentors among his fellows
The pediculi, or lice, of which almost
every animal has it's own peculiar species,
are not difficult to kill. A good scrubbing
with soft soap and water will remove
them. Linseed or any other oil prevents
their migrating, and destroys them; but
the efficacy of the oil is increased when to
every pint is added an ounce of impure
carbolic acid, or of Burnett's zinc cholo
ride solution. Decoctions of tobacco and
stavesacre also poison the vermin, an
ounce to the pint of water being generally
used. Where the animals have been
much infested, second dressing should
take place about week after the first
and brushing, cleanliness, and usually a
more liberal dietry also enjoyed.

The daily saving of sums intermediate
between those named in the above table
would, of course, yield similar proper
tionate results. We invite our readers
to study this table with care. There is
no man, woman or child living to whom
it would not convey a very important
practical lesson. The. fact is, the miser-
les, poverty, beggary and want that pre-
vail among men, especially in this coun-
try, spring very largely from their prodi-
gality. They manage to consume as they
60 along all their income, whether from
business or wages; and. hence, they are
always poor, thousands Of them never
being worth enough to pay their funeral
charges. A great many fortunes that
might have been saved are lost in this
way. If the entire body Of society were
to act on their principle 1t would be in
the state Of permanent psuperism, con-
summing - It goes along all the products
Of it, industry. and, hence, living from
hand to mouth. The only reason Why
this u not true Of al b that portion Of
the people do not consume al they earn
or produce; and. hence, they have : sur-
plus. which goes to make up the aggre-
gate Of tho general wealth.-Nsn York

rights Of owners respected just as much
as in the case of any other property
Men should plant for others and for their
children trees of which perchance
themselves may never eat the fruit
Women should 60 into the cultivation OF
fruit. They would find it pleasant
healthful and remunerative; for the
market for fruit is and will be continu-
ally on the increase.
Care should be taken to procure kinds
that give as little trouble as possible in
the gathering and preparation, such as
strawberries that leave their hulls be-
hind them when picked, grapes and
other fruit with edible skins, stoneless
cherries and coreless apples, if possible.
People must eat more deliberately and

ing cherry stones, grape seeds, goose
berry "tops" and tomato and peach
skins. True, our Improvements in ma
chinery doubtless will aid us in the
preparation of fruit for the table, but
generally the skins and smaller seeds
are decidedly wholesome, especially to
sedentary people, and they need not be
rejected.-Science Of Health.

. cat, for this animal has points as well
as horse or dog.
OF all colors, we infinitely prefer the
tortoise-shell, with white feet and breast
Cats of this color are always docile, al
fectionate, tidy, and good mousers. They
are also long lived.
Gray cats are quckesttempered.
Black cats are slowest. Maltese cats are
not SO clearly in their habits as those Of
other species.
Large ears denote sagacity. A long
tail is sign of hunter. Yellow eyes
with very small sights are not as desira'

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected
of interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying what
we think of a new addition to the Mate
ria Medica to which our attention has
been recently directed. We refer to DR.
j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, a remedy which is making its way
into more families just now than all the
other advertised medicines put together
Its popularity, as far as we can judge, is
not based on empty pretension. There
seems to be no question about the potency
of its tonic and Alternative properties,
while it possesses the great negative
recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a
specific for Indigestion, Biliousness, Con-
stipatiOn and many complaints of nerv-
GUS origin we have reason to know; and
we are assured on good authority that as
general invigorant, regulating and puri-
flying medicine it has no equal 1t is
stated that its ingredients obtained
from the wilds of California; are new to
the medical world; and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that it is compound of agents hitherto
unknown. If popularity is any criterion,
there can be no doubt of the efficiency of
the VINEGAR BITTERs, for the sale of the
article is immense and continually in
creasing.

test at this time the extraordinary paper
of Mr.. Tilton; but there are two allega-

only two incidents which Mr.. Tilton pre-
tends to have witnessed personally, the
one an alleged scene in my house
while looking over engravings, and
the ether q chamber scene in his
own house. His statements concerning
these are absolutely false. Nothing of
