acid, etc.-there is some reason for COM
pairing this "organic mineral water" as it
has been called, with the inorganic, the
curative powers of which are SO universal
ly recognized, and for expecting similar
results from it. The cure is very simple.
1t consists in eating an immense quantity
of grapes, the thin-skinned sweet white
varieties being best for the purpose. The
patient takes but little ordinary food, and
is required to eat three or four pounds of
the fruit a day just at first, the quantity
being gradually increased to eight, ten,
and even twelve pounds of grapes. This
is, if possible, to be eaten in the open air,
in the vineyard whence the supply is de-
rived-an arrangement which, no doubt,
greatly conduces to the efficiency of the
cure. 1t is frequently undertaken in their
private practice by French physicians, who
possess the material for it in the incom-
parable Chasselas, Of which such quaint
ties are now selling in Paris.-PaA Mall

The Grape Cure.

Among the most agreeable hygienic
processes extant must be reckoned the
grape cure, for which the season has late
ly occurred. There are on the continent
of Europe numerous establishments de-
voted to the use of the remedy; two in
France-Aigle, in Savoy, and Celles-les-
Bains, in the Ardeene; three at least in
Switzerland Vevey, Montreux !;
and many in Germany, Austria, the Tyrol,
and Hungary. The juice of the grape con-

Experiments in Wheat Culture.

DIR. Page, professor of practical ag
riculture in the University of Virginia,
gives the following in his report:
Top-dressing in spring with nitrate
OF soda alone, was very common in
England many years ago, but was dis
continued for some time, in conse-
quence of its tendency to make the
wheat 'Jall," and to produce mildew.
1t appears now that these two serious
faults have been corrected by mixing
with the nitrate a moderate amount
of sea salt, which prevents the mildew
and strengthens The straw. In Nor
fork, England, the practice of top
dressing the wheat in spring is almost
universal with the best farmers, at
the rate of 100 pounds nitrate soda
mixed with 200 pounds of salt, appli-
ed in two dressings at intervals of
three weeks or a month, beginning
early in March, and ending bout the
Goth of April. Mr.. Pusey's expert
ments with this mixture, used as a.
bove stated, show an increase of So
bushels of wheat more than produced
on land otherwise similarly treated,
but not top-dressed with the mixture.
There are few subjects in connec-
ton with the cultivation of wheat
that regard as very important. One
of importance is the preparation of
the seed wheat, before it is sowed, in
order to cleanse it thoroughly from all
-6 64tih imperfect grains, and fungi
spores, as smut, &c. To accomplish
this, my invariable rule is to wash all
seed wheat the day before it is sowed
in salt and water, or brine, made
strong enough to bear an egg. The
wheat is poured into a barrel about
half full of brine, and is stirred and
rubbed with the hands, and as the
filth, imperfect grains, &C., rise to the
surface, they are carefully skinned
off. The wheat is then taken out,
(after pouring the brine off into an
other barreD and is spread until it is
dry enough to sow, which is usually
the case the next day. Another mat
ter which I regard of some Importance
in seeding the wheat, when it is to be
sowed broadcast, is to make a seam
for the reception of the wheat, with a
double-shovel plough. When the
wheat is seeded in this way, it falls
into the seams, and is covered by the
harrow so we'll that when it comes up
it looks almost exactly as if it had
been drilled, and, in my observation,
succeeds as well as drilling" and far
better than narrowing in the wheat.
1t is especially applicable to the
thorough seeding of hill-sides and
slopes, whether to the north, south,
east or west. The southern and
eastern exposures have long been re-
garded as those most favorable, while
the northern and western are unfavor-
able. The eastern and southern slopes
are the first to catch the rays of the
morning sun, and are the least expos
ed to the influence of the cold winds
from the north and west, which pre-
vail in the winter and spring. 1t is
on this account that Gland slipping to
the east will have good wheat growing
on it, while other parts of the same
field, that slope to the westward, will
be ruined

Housekeepers' Help.

FofAro CAKEs.-Take mashed potatoes,
flour, little salt and melted butter Ito
make them sweet and little powdered
loaf sugar. mix with just enough milk to
make the paste stiff enough to roll, make
it the size and thickness of muffin, and
bake quickly.
RICE CoFFEE.-Rice coffee is good food
for children who are suffering with sum-
mer complaints, and is made by browning
the grains of rice like coffee, and afterward
Boiling them. 1t is not unpalatable, very
nourishing, and can be made any strength
that is required. With the addition of
sweet cream and loaf sugar, child of two
or three years will require no other food
until the disease is removed.
To CORN BEEF-To corn beef in the
pot, cover eight or nine pounds of lean
beef with boiling water, add one teacup
of salt, and boil until tender. 1t will be
found much nicer than when corned in
brine. If it is to be eaten cold, when it
is cooked quite tender, draw out the bones,
lay it in tin basin, the bottom of which
is perforated like colander, press plate
firmly down upon it, and put smoothing
iron on top of the plate. Of course the
plate must fit inside of the basin. The
meat turns out in shape and cuts very
solidly. A colander will answer, but has
the disadvantage of sloping sides, and
care must be taken to have the plate so
small as not to rest upon the sides of the
celander, and yet large enough to cover
the meat almost entirely.
DYsPEPTIcs READ.-We have seen dys-
peptics who suffered untold torments with
almost every kind of food No liquid
could be taken without suffering; bread
became burning acid; meat and milk
were solid and liquid fires. We have seen
these same sufferers trying to avoid food
and drink, and even going to the enema
syringe for sustenance. And we have seen
their torments pass away and their hunger
relieved by living upon the white of eggs
which had been boiled in bubbling water
for thirty minutes. At the end of the
week we have given the hard yolk of the
egg with the white, and upon this diet
alone, without liquid of any kind, we have
seen them begin to gain flesh and strength,
and refreshing sleep. After weeks of this
treatment they have been able, with care,
to begin upon food.
RECIPE FOR MAKING SAUR KRAUT.-In
the first place let your stand" holding
half barrel, be thoroughly scalded
out; the cutter, the tub, and the stamper
also well scalded. Take off the outer
leaves of the cabbages, halve them, remove
the heart, and proceed with the cutting.
Lay some clean leaves at the bottom
the stand, sprinkle with handful of salt,
fill in a half bushsl of cut cabbage, stamp
gently until the Juice Just MAKE its ap-
pearance, then add another handful Of
salt, and so on until the stand is full.
Cover over with cabbage leaves, place on
top clean board fitting the space pretty
well, and on top of that stone weighing
twelve or fifteen pounds. Stand away in
a cool place, and when hard freezing comes
ON remove to the cellar. 1t will be ready
for use in four to six weeks. The cabbage
should be cut tolerably coarse. The Savoy
variety produces the best article.

Fremont Prosperlng.

II is no insignificant evidence Of a
city's prosperity when you find rents
being on every hand advancod-tenant
houses are difficult TO secure, and master
builders only just able to keep pace with
the demands upon them. And be it
known this is the case to-day, in Ere
mont, though the latter assertion may
to some extent be accounted for in con-
sequence Of the late spring weather
preventing lively out door operations.
This year almost every landlord is stri-
wing to get little more rent because
the demand for houses is large, and
many of those doomed to disappoint-
ment are already talking of building
themselves. And why notl Real es-
tate, though improving in value, is still
reasonable, lumber has been much
dearer than now, while artizans are far
from scarce. On Tuesday oflast week, in
our rounds for local items, we heard of,
or met with no fewar than seven per
sons looking after houses, and as things
at present stand we should judge about
the greatest inhiction you could visit on
your neighbor would be to once whisper
he was about to move. Then would
follow, at all hours, some one calling on
him to make enquiries until he felt al
most like putting up a board on the
front of his house suggesting 81 aint

dence S175 to 5000 is becoming the

houses fetching rent of SO, SO and in
one case $40 per month. But we are in
hopes soon to see some one sufficiently
to invest in the erection of induced good
tenant houses-if ever they would pay
it is now. We notice both on this and
the east side, go where you will, lumber
is lying in front of vacant lots sugges-
ting that quite an addition will be made
to our city the coming season.
