FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Scnb in sheen,

The following is one way of treating
scab IN sheep Take of flowers of sui
phur, one pound; Venice turpentine,
four ounces; rancid lard two pounds
strong mercurial ointment, four ounces
mix well together The modeof apply
ing this ointment Is as follows Begin
at the head Of the sheep, and proceed
ing from between the ears along the
back to the end Of the tail, divide the
wool in a furrow till the skin can be
touched, and leta fioger be drawn along
the bottom Of the furrow From this
furrOw similar ones must be drawn along
the shoulders and thighs to the legs, as
far rs the wool extends And if much
infected, two or more burrows should be
drawn along each side parallel with
that on the back; and one down each
side before the hind ana fore legs
This ointment should not be used in
very cold or wet weather Make a new
sheep fold, and destroy the old by burn
ing it, managers and all. Cleanliness
above all things is necessary. Such
parts Of fences, and the posts where the
sheep have been in the habitof rubbing
themselves against, should be burned

Raspberry culture.

Not one farm in ten throughout the
country has raspberry patch sufficient
TO produce a supply for family use.
This seems to me lnexcusable, when
they are so good and healthful, and so
cheap III their preparation, and when a
few square rods, properly managed,
viii afford an abundance for any table.
But now | want to say a few words about
raspberry culture. When the canes
have grown to three feet, clip Oft the
tips. They viii then stiffen up and
throw out branches. and these, if they
grow to much length, 90 or II inches)
should be clipped, and in their turn
they may produce short branches; thus
the whole growth of the plant is made
useful. aud the canes are not only stiff
er and more self-supporting, but the
WELD of fruit is abundantly increased.
Some of the canes are ready for clipping
at the time of picking berries. and may
he pinched off then with little loss of
time 1t IS desirable to thin out to a
few of the strongest stalks.
think that although rich and moist
soil is best, raspberries can be grown
quite well on dry, sandy soil, provided
there be Il liberal admiNture Of welt
rotted vegetable manure worked into 1t,
and after the plants are sufficiently start
ed the whole surface of the ground
should be covered with old straw to a
depth that will keep down all weeds.
This Is also an excellent treatment for
currants, gooseberries, and other small
fruits.

The National WOman's Suffrage AssO-
citation.

The annual convention of this associa-
ton will be held at irving Hall, New
York, on the 18th of May. Miss Susan
j. Anthony, President, and Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Cady Stanton, Chairman of the
Executive committee, issue the follow
ing circular:
For more than quarter of cen
tury the representative women of this
nation have held annual meetings, de-
handing the recognition Of their rights
as citizens of the United States.
In halls of legislation and courts of
justice, as well as in conventions, wo-
mans equality with man in all civil and
political rights, privileges and immuni
ties has been debated and variously
decided by popular opinion, statute
law and judicial decree. without arriv-
ing at any permanent settlement OF the
question And until the world learns
that there should be but one code Of
laws and morals for man and woman,
this question never can be settled. But
the discussion has reused woman her
self to new thought and action, and
kindled in her an enthusiasm that the
best interests of the nation demand
should be wisely directed and controlled.
The fact that women are already
voting, holding Office and resisting tax
alton, that thousands are enrolling i'll
the grange movement and temperance
crusade, that woman suffrage is to be
voted upon i'll Michigan at the next
election, should warn the government
that the hour for it's action has come.
Unjust now determine whether woman's
transition from slaveryto freedom shall
be through reformation or revolution
whether she shall be permitted to ex
press her interest in national questions
through law 10y the direct power of the
ballot, or outside of law by indirectand
irresponsible power; and thus, by blind
enthusiasm, plunge then alton into an
archy
For an earnest discussion of the
duty of the hour, we invite all persons
interested in woman's enfranchisement
to meet i'll Irving Hall, New York, on
the 18th and 18th of May next"

The same writer says III the Atlantic
Monthly for April:
There are two ways of managing q
balky horse My companion knew one
Of them, and | the other. His method
IS to sit quietly in the wagon, and at
short intervals throw small pebble at
repeated sudden aunoyances viii
operate on Il horses mind, and he viii
try to escape them by going on. The
spectators supplied my friend with
stones, and he pelted the horse with
measured gentleness. Probably the
horse understood this method, for he
did not notice the attack at all
My plan was to speak gently to the
horse, requesting him to go, and then
to follow the refusal by one sudden,
sharp cut Of the lash to wait moment
and then repeat the operation. The
dread of the coming lash after the gen
tie word will start any horse. | tried
this, and with certain success. The
horse backed mp into a ditch, and would
probably have backed himself into the
wagon if | had continued. When the
animal was ut length ready to 90, Davie
took him by the bride, ran by his side,
ecaxed him into a gallop, and then,
leaping in behind, dashed him into a
run which had little respite for ten
miles, up hill or down. Remonstrance
on behalf of the horse was in vain, md
it was only on the return home that this
specimen Cape Breton driver began to
reflect how he could erase the welts
from tn horses back before his father
saw him.

4 Hint.

BY MRS. EUNICE r. ANDERSON.
If home were home, and ermth were Their
OF heart, full trimming over;
With kindly words and Welcome smiles
For each returning rover;
If hsif the tact displayed by wives,
And zeal III minor matters
Were brought to bear, by strategy
That soothes the soul it tatters.
If womans voice We're never heard
In angry tones upbraiding;
If little faults were smoothed away
IN lieu of endless prating;
If | and self were in the shade
And Christian peace Astounding.
With closet prayer and secret praise
On wings of love resounding:
II eSfife to please were all the war
Between opposing forces,
And bitterness but hurled at those
Who advocate divorces;
If like the patriarch of old,
One took the safe direction.
81 waiting till the other chose
The right or left selection
II half the ills were wet and shared
OF lifelong irritation,
And half the joys intensified
Immersed by appreciation;
If 'ourting days were now and then
Relieved, as time advances.
And acid looks compared with some
OF youths exquisite glances;
Il smiles assumed for passing guests,
For strangers dclectation
Waned not, to meteors akin.
Flashing from observation;
If life were what it seems to be
Untrammeled by illusion,
And words were truth, and looks were love
And bushes meant confusion;
If yearning hopes aud pure desires
With common sense united
Assembled to our Fathers throne
Where womans wrongs are righted:
The whisky shops by more than half
In utter desperation,
Would close their doors for want of trade
from this domestic nation.

Chess Match Between Vienna and Lon.
don.

The match by telegraph between the
leading players of Vienna and London,
terminated, lately, on receipt of Il tele
gram to the effect that Vienna resigned
in favor of London. This match is the
first of the kind that has been conduct
ed between places SO far remote. 1t
was arranged that two games should be
played for the nominal stake of Gl00 a
side. Six of the best players in London
competed by telegraph with six of the
best players III Austria. Several days
were allowed for the consideration of
each move, and the result was that tie
match, which was finished only recent
ly, began one year and eight months
ago. One game is resigned in favor of
London, the second is abandoned as
unfinished, but there can be no doubt
that its legitimate termination would be
in favor of London also.

HANDSOME TURSOUT.-Thcro Is no
doubt but that the livery business has
greatly improved in Wheeling during
the last few years, but when
We witnessed the twO-hOrse
turnout of Mr.. Robert Luke, tho
entcrprising and accommodating livery
stable proprietor, were astonishcd TO find
that he had spent SO much for the benefit
and pleasure Of our citizens. This car
riagc or hack can be dropped down or
raised ut pleasure, and is one Of the
most scrviccablc and convenient vchi-
Giles we have ever seen. In addition
TO all this Mr.. Luke keeps
some Of the best livery stock in the city,
and always has on hand smooth running
buggics, which delight the young men
who take their fair friends out the pike
on "A drive. We believe that Mr.. Luke
is the man that knows how and can at
tend to the wishes and desires Of those
who desire livery in this city.
