One of the oldest services to put our
journals to is the keeping of ice in sum-
mer. An ingenious housekeeper recently
discovered that her daily lump of ice
would last nearly twice as long when
wrapped in newspapers, and placed in any
kind of covered box, as when trusted
solely to refrigerator. This is very con-
venient, since it is possible to have the
best and cheapest refrigerator constantly
at hand.

Rolling the Ground.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Germantown
Telegraph writes:
"On dry or wet ground the effect of
the roller is found to be salu-
tary. Plowed and prepared for sowing,
dry land is much helped by the roller.
The blades of grass spring up sooner and
retain firmer hold in the earth. In a
season of drought, rolling has saved the
crop when without it the seed would
have never sprung from the ground. In
wet and heavy ground it is believed the
roller, smoothing and hardening the sur.
face, will leave the soil Immediately be.
meath the surface in better condition to
generate the seed. On grass ground that
has been heaved by the frost the roller
has an excellent effect in fixing the roots
Rolling the ground is also good when the
land has been laid down unevenly the
previous year. If The land is too dry, wait
till Just after soaking rain, and 1t will
work capital.y. 1t is good idea to roll
plowed sowed ground before narrowing
as it presses down the burrows that would
be turned back, and makes the surface less
uneven, and the harrow pulverizes II
much. We find that on an average moi
one farmer in four has a roller"

Diversity vs. Speciality OF Agriculture

ALL experience proves that those cOun-
tries which diversity their husbandry to
meet their ordinary wants are more indie
pendent and prosperous than those that
depend on few special crops or produc-
tons, and are obliged TO purchase many
of the necessaries of life. A new crop
added to the productive industry OF a
country is an addition to its thrift and
wealth. Instance beet culture in France
and Germany. This production in France
alone saves her $50,000, 600, and does not
interfere with her general agriculture; in
fact she grows more beef and dairy prod
ucts, and also more grain than before
beet culture commenced. The thrift of
England and Scotland nearly maintains
in food population of "a 600 600, upon a
less tillabie area than the States of Indi-
ana and Illinois. Would it be possible for
them to do this without great diversity
of products! Suppose that instead OF
this great vaEiety of agricultural
products she devoted herself entirely to
the production of animal food, and the
dairy, for which her soil Is admi-
rably adapted, relying upon the ex-
change of these for all the grains
used as human food; it would require all
her immense earnings in manufactures to
make up the deficiency. California,
where gold, the measure of all value, can
be produced, limited only by the labor
expended, was poor till she began to de-
velop her agriculture. And now the
poorest rnd most destitute of her popula
ton are gathered about her mines. The
production of speciality means poverty
and dependence to the mass engaged in
it. Cuba exports sugar and buys bread.
The West Indies have greatly diver
siied their productions and increased the
comforts and independence of their popu-
lation. Their exports of coffee and
sugar have fallen off, but their
home wealth has increased. 1t is
the surplus after supplying home wants,
not the exports, that determines wealth.
Therefore, you must examine the variety
of home production and the home life of
apeople to form q correct conclusion as
to their independence and wealth.--Ltue

PATENT MEDIcINEs.-That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for moment deny; and pre-.
eminent is the great California hero medi-
cine, VINEGAR Buffers, discovered by
DIR. j. WALKER, a prominent physician OF
San Francisco. This medicine, although
called Bitters, is not to be classed among
the vile fancy drinks recommended ana
sold over the bar by um-venders, but is a
combination of pure herbalistic extracts,
known to possess sterling medicinal quail.

in any shape of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating to
the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it
at once attacks blood-impurities, and by
removing the original cause destroys the
germs of disease and invites returning
health. Its action upon the stomach and
liver renders il an almost certain specific
in the most stubborn cases Of dyspepsia,
and in truth imparts new life and vigor TO
the whole system. 1t is one of the best
medicines ever invented. 30

Newspapers Domesticaliy Considered

Too low an estimate is apt TO be set on
the domestic value of newspapers. After
reading them, and putting ourselves
through their agency, in mental CORE
spondence with the world, they are
thrown aside and forgotten. But to sup
pose their usefulness bounded by their
news columns and the waste-bag is q
thriftless mistake.
In the first place, there are the house

often excellent, and deserving refuge on
the fy-leaf Of the family cook. book. Then
come the pretty verses, the strange and
droll stories, the brief biographies and
"reminiscences which, pasted in a scrap
book, are source Of never-ending pleas

richer intellectual food, but to those who
have only odd minutes for reading.

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

II Is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stinulants for the cure OF liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable
Kingdoms have been diligently searched to
procure the most drastic and poisonous purga.
tives, in order to produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebled organ. This systemof treatment Is on
the same principle as that of giving weak
and debilitated man large portions OF brandy
to enable him to do a certain amount OF work.
When the stimulant is withheld, the organ,
like the system, gradually reiapses into more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then Is wanted? Medicines,
that, while they cause the bile to flow freely
from the liver, as that organ is toned into &C
ton, will not overwork and thus debiitate 1t,
but will, when their use Is discontinued, leave
the liver strengthened and healthy.
