RAISING CURRANTs.@ writer
states that he has had excellent success
in the culture of currants by pursuing
the following plan After planting in
the usual manner, 1 take particular
pains to cultivate them well. Every
spring the ground is top dressed pro-
fusely with ashes, leached and un-
leached, well incorporated into the soil
under and around the bushes, and kept
clear of grass and weeds. After the
ground has received the top-dressing it
is mulched with barn-yard or chip ma
nure. The result has been, 1 have
never failed of bountiful crop of the
finest and largest fruit, free from the
worm. About sixteen rods distant I
have O lot of currant bushes left to take
care of themselves. These are nearly
destroyed by the worm. Ny own
opinion is that the larv@ Of the currant
worm lie dormant during the winter in
the ground near the bush they intend
to attack the next season, and that mix
ing wood-ashes with the soil destroys
them.

Mich FEVER N Cows.-This disease
is to be feared amongst COWS, over
four years OLD that are we'll bred and
good mixers, and should receive more
than ordinary attention. The system
in q vigorous condition, filed with rich
blood, and not having the elasticity Of
that of q younger and growing animal.
is suddenly subjected after calving to q
refiux of the blood which has been cir
culating through the system of the calf.
The drain upou the mothers system
consequent upon the support Of the
calf's life is stopped and q great reac-
tion occurs. The parts of the body
which have been excited during the
birth of the calf suffer from the reac-
ton, and the womb and udder, and
frequently the bowels become inAamed.
Sudden changes in the weather also in
crease the difficulty, and after . fit Of
shivering, which may occur from the
first to the third day, fever sets in,

quently falls into commissions, or be-
comes frantic and dashes her head
about violently. When these last symp-
toms occur, rapidly following the first,
recovery is very doubtful. To prevent
an attack of this disorder, the cows
feed should be reduced some time
before calving, and only hay and
bran Cruel be given to her. The
bowls should be kept loose by few
handfuls of linseed meal and plenty
of salt should be given. II the
COW is good in flesh she should have
one pound of EPSON salts with half an
ounce of ginger, a week before her time
is up, and as soon as she shows signs Of
calving in the relaxation or lo0seness
of the hinder parts, she should be kept
in a quiet and well-sheltered part OF
the stable loose box or stall being
the safest place. in which she need nst
be tied up. If there is a flow of milk
it should be drawn from under. Ii
the COW has had this fever previously,
or her symptoms cause an attack to be
expected, she should be given twenty
five drops of tincture of aconite three
or four hours after calving, repeating
the dose every six hours until six doses
have been gwen. If, in spite Of all
precautions, the aconite, as previously
mentioned, should be given along with
two drains of powdered opium in q bot
tie of thin Cruel Immediately. Apound
of EPSON salts, with half . pound of
common salt dissolved in water, with
some sugar or molasses to flavor it,
should be given soon after. Cloths
dipped in hot water should be placed
across the loins, and the COW should be
covered with blankets. All the cold
water she will drink should be given as
frequently as may be needed, and she
should be kept as quiet as possible.
The milk should be drawn every few
hours. Pure, fresh air is also indispen-
sible.

ISsULTs.-It is always better to pass
dozen intended insults without recog-
milton, than to take offence at a single
unintentional neglect or reflection.
Misunderstanding are fruitful of more
unkindly feelings in society than ever
result from deliberate ill-nature.
Hundreds of friendships have been
sundered by that egotistical sensitive
ness which is ever looking for offence.
We can all point to certain persons
who are thus morbidly sensitive to q
painful degree. They are disagreeable
companions. We need not spend our
precious time in pointing to them, how
ever. We have each something to
guard in our own character. We are
each inclined to take offence too easily.
If We could remove this ever-jealous
watchfulness, society would gain a new
charm, or rather it would be relieved
of very disagreeable feature. Pass
neglect, then, and personal reflections,
as gracefully as possible, instead of
taking the risk of being offended when
no offence is intended.

If you wish short biscuit without

Do your husbands and brothers

apply tar and oil after being thoroughly
mixed, and you will have no further
tronble. Patent not applied for.
One cup of sugar, one of buttermilk,
one egg, one-fourth of a nutmeg, one
and one-half teaspoonful of saleratus,
three table-spoonfuls of melted lard,
will make just as good doughnuts as
any editor ought to eat.
Some cooks are invariably troubled
with "saleratus biscuit" By allowing
Just one even teaspoonful of saleratus
the trouble will be obviated.
If birthstone is offensive, use strips
of paper one inch wide, rolled into q
lengthy cylinder, for lighters. III you
wish to save your papers, a bit of split
pine will answer better, and when
stacked in lava vase. make very con-
spicuous ornament.

PNCHING RAsPBERRIEs.-A cores
pondent writes The past season 1
pinched off the top end of my rasp-
berry bushes when they were about
three feet high, for the purpose Of
making them grow slowly, and to spare
the trouble of setting poles to tie them
to. Those canes pinched off threw out
side branches, and the yield of fruit is
about double this season what the
bushes which were shortened in last
season in comparison with those which
were left to grow naturally. As the
currant worm has destroyed nearly all
our currant bushes, we can easily sup
ply their place in our garden with other
small fruits, such as strawberries,
blackberries, raspberries, which as yet
have few insect enemies. The best
dressing 1 find for raspberry bushes is
decayed chips or rotten wood from the
forest and ashes. In my berrying days
of childhood always found the largest
raspberries and most thrifty bushes
growing round rotten logs and decayed
stumps in the pastures.

BEE INDUsTRY.-In comparison with
many other branches of business, this,
at the first blush, might be considered
of small account, but when it is taken
into consideration that now, more than
ever, provision is to be made for the
suitable employment of large class OF
our population, particularly females,
who are thrown upon their own per-
sonsl e1ertions for support, and to
none can there be a more interesting
and appropriate business than that of
bee culture and poultry raising, par
ticularly at the South, and we would
wish to see its extension more diffused
than at present. As it is. the product
is of no small proportions. and can be
increased to an almost unlimited e1-
tent. The President of the North
American Beekeepers' Association at
Pittsburg. in his remarks before that
body, says that for ages past organiza-
tions have been effected by our best
men to develop the various agricultu-
raj resources of the land and during
the same period the most industrious
bees of our Continent have been con-
signed to the ignomy of death by fire
and birthstone.
If apiarians had given the time and
attention in selecting the males and
females of the largest and most indus
trious, prolific and docile colonies to
breed from, with the same care, shrewd-
ness and attention that has been prac-
ticed with horses, cattle, sheep, hogs
and poultry, we would not be under
the necessity of importing queens from
Italy, but would have a race of bees
much superior to the Italians. Man
cannot obtain labor from any other
source as cheap as from the honey bee.
They work for nothing and board them
selves. only requiring house rent free.
Possessing, as we do in America, q
genial climate and fertile soil, sus-
ceptible of the production of richly
varied honey producing plants and
flowers, with due degree of knowledge
and enterprise, the bees could be in
creased to an extent that the profit ari-
sing therefrom would pay all our taxes
and supply our tables daily with one
of the choicest luxuries of life.
Bee keeping, although not so popu-
lar pursuit as many others, is none
less edifying and profitable. The
honey bee is almost the only insect that
has been domesticated by man, and
aside from its giving us wealth and de-
licious luxury, it possesses many charms
and is study for the naturalist. This
is only the fourth session of . conti-
mental society in our land for the pur-
pose of investigating and learning of
the wonders of this little insect,

How TO PREPARE BUCKwHEAI CAKES.
cakes make q quick and
hot breakfast for cold mornings. Any
size will do that is hot, sweet, light and
brown. They are apt to be more crisp
in families where the griddle surface is
proportioned to the number of plates
at table, and some self-sacrificing per-
SON holds to the baking like martyr.
The mixture of syrup and sugar in the
batter to bring out q spurious and
superficial brown color should be de-
nounced as q swindle. Some cooks
brown but one side-a fraud that
mostly disturbs those who do not
meekly accept things as they find them.
To be safe from disappointment In this
particular, cash your pile OF cakes and
introduce the butter and sugar from
the top, instead of sprawling the cakes
around to cool and show every defect
in the baking. Gravitation and q few
love pats with knife and fork will dis
tribute butter and syrup through the
laminated strata of pile OF hot cakes
most unctuously. II q little time be
lost so in eating, whole cakes merely
folded are not 80 likely to produce
disagreeable sensation in the stomach,
and the person sweating over the cook
stove may have to get ahead little. As
for pimples along with buckwheat-
don't you believe it. It's an ignorant
slander of one of the best grains, and
comes from eating it pound for pound"
with sugar and shortening. Put the
pimples on q diet of buckwhest cakes
and milk toast-skim milk for ag-
gravated cases.
