The garden ought to be cleaned
of rubbish, and all weeds, brush, etc,
burn now; then it should be dressed
with manure, and plowed or spaded.
The compost-heap should be put in
condition for winter, and all green
waste without weed seed), sods, and
so forth, should be included in it.
Vines may be planted now. Prune
after the leaves fall, and save the
wood for cuttings, if required. Where
practicable it is well to remove the
vines from the trellis, laying them
down and cover with few inches of
earth.
Fine wool being only "A cents a
pound, lower than since 1857, it is
wise to shut up Merino rams for the
season, and cross with Cotswold.
Mich cows don't shrink in milk
except they are underfed. Therefore,
as the pastures are almost used up,
feed as much as two quarts of meal
and bran daily to each cow Poor
economy 70 starve a COW now and
waste food in filling her up in the
spring.
Keep your different kinds of stock
in separate fields and yards; It's the
only safe way.
Everything about the grainaries
and corn-dibs should be made safe
against vermin. Several cats may be
fed at the cost of one dog, and they
earn their feed far more protitably.-
Make holes where they can get in
and out of the buildings and under
them, but foot or more above the
ground, that skunks may not take
possession.
Give salt to the stock regularly
but sparingly. Half an ounce a day
is a safe allowance for large ami
mails.
Don't burn kerosene i'll the barn
and stables. A candle lantern is the
SAFEST. Provide hooks upon which
to hang the llnteln in safe places.
Farmers needn't fear the COMPETE
ton of oleomargarine any longer
The butter made of it is unstable in
the market, and some manufacturers
have lost heavily by its use,--and
served 'em right.
The milk producers association of
the neighborhood of Boston, have
resolved that the farmers are not
called upon to come down one cent
per can on their milk tor the benefit
of peddlers, and say that the reduc-
ton on the whole quantity sold in
Boston for five years past has amount
ed to 100000. They advise the far
mers to shorten production. Never
theless the city working man is sure
he pays too much per quart.

Toothache of the most excruciating
sort may be relieved by alum and
salt, pulverized, mixed in equal guam
titles, and applied to the hollow tooth
in a plug Of cotton.
When color on a fabric has been
destroyed by .acid, ammonia is APP
piled to neutralize the acid, after
which an application of chloroform
will, in almost all cases, restore the
color.
The most clearly method of pre-
serving eggs is to smear them with
cotton seed or linseed oil, and pack
them, with the large end down, In
dry bran, or wheat or oat chat.
Keep in dry, cool cellar; they will
remain in good order for six months.
Boiling in a well-Aorred cloth will
make meat white. Cloths for this
purpose should be carefully washed
and boiled in clean water betwr en-

tablespoon of sugar and juice of one
lemon. Place the whole in the oven
until the marangeis slightly Drowned.
Moths will work in carpets in
rooms that are kept warm, in the
winter as well as n the summer. A
sure method of removing the pests is
to pour strong alum water on the
floor to the distance of half yard,
around the edges, before laying the
carpets. Then, once or twice during
the season, sprinkle dry salt over the
carpet before sweeping. Insects do
not like salt, and sufficient adheres to
the carpet to prevent their alighting
upon it.

Autumn is the proper season to
prepare gratis, and cuttings of grapes,
currants, ounces, goosberries, poplar
and many other plants, taken off in
fall and buried in ground all winter,
will grow with facility in the spring.
Crafts should always be taken off in

THE New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger says that prominent
Democrats who have just returned from
Ohio, and who, while there, had good op.
portunitics for observing the drift Of
public opinion, express the conviction
that the Allenites are much stronger than
the people here are inclined to believe.
They also report that the feeling among
the leaders OF the Democracy against
Governor Tflden and the hard money
brethren Is very bitler-muCh more so,
indeed, than the feeling against the "com-
mon enemy"-that is, the Republicans,
II was common remark that, no matter
whether Ohio was won or lost this month,
il would settle Mr.. Tilden's fate as Pres.
idential candidate In the next National
Convention. This view Of the case may
or may not be unreasonable, but along
with these reports from the West, there
can be no question 1t is giving much I'M
easiness to the party leaders In this city,
some Of whom begin to think II was a
mistake at this time to commit the party
here 80 unequivocally to any specified
policy, instead Of letting the Western PEG.
pic Fight II out in their own way among
themselves, especially MS Governor Tilden
might have entrenChed himself on canal
and municipal reform questions in such a
manner as to strengthen him with people
everywhere, and to make enemies Of none.

The labOrer who has saved money is

thing Of this kind happens when n very
popular author like Dickens turns editor,
and collects round him a staff Of clever
writer's, who admire his genius and are
even disposed TO copy his mannerisms.
But the case il exceptional, and as n rule

No doubt one Of the great reasons why

this-that the occupation which abSorbs

TIE DEATH OFTnE BUDDHIST PONTIFP.
-About twice the number Of persons
who acknowledge the adtli6Fily0f Plus
IN. have lost their Pontin. The Delai-
Lama, head Of the Buddhists (whO are
more than four hundred millions in NUM-
ber), died recently at Thibet, Like the
Pope at Rome, he pretended TO be infal-
lible in all questions Of faith. Two cen-
turtles ago his predecessors actually ex-
ercised the spiritual and temporal powers
which are coveted by the Pope. Recog-
nized rs the incarnation Of God, the
Buddhists have been in the habit Of CIV
ing him all the external evidences Of ven
Grafton which they would give to the
Deity. Sitting like n statue on an altar,
with his limbs crossed, he gave the Bud
dhisls his blessing with various tokens
which were supposed to have miraculous
virtues. So great was the authority which
the Delai.Lama enjoyed over the Mongo-
lians that in 1850 the Emperor Of China
rebolled against ii, and three Of these Pom
tiiFs in succession suffered death by VIC.
lenCe.
Since that time the distinction Of de-
clarlng who should be the viccgerent Of
the Buddhists has rested almost entirely
with the occupant Of the Chinese throne.
The death Of the pontil' is kept a pro.
found secret until three persons are dcs-
ignAted eventually to succeed him, the ac-

dates. SO jealous, however, Is the En-
peror Of his influence that he keeps two
high mandnrins, with large body Of
troops, to watch over the Delni.Lama.
Leaving out Of account the difference In
doctrines, the methods Of the DelNi.Lamas
for several centuries have borne a re.
markable similarity TO those Of the Pope
at Rome. Whatever Of purity there has

undergone that contamination which Glib.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, JR,, in an
address at the Wisconsin State Fair In
Oshkosh, Thursday, discussed the rail-
road question at length, speaking OF the
influence Of railroads upon States and
communities, upon social life and upon
politics. He believes that in some way,
by developing existing political institu-
tons or gradually substituting others for
them, the Government and the concentra-
ted railroad system Of the future must
work together. He says Of the work up
on the railroad question in Mlssachu-
sets:
1--WE are casting about to effect in some
way, what no State has yet approached
to, practical uniformity, approximate ex'
actness and absolute publicity in all rail.

alone, but in all the States. This ] be-
lieye to be the one vital, radical, all.im.

The Proper Length Of Sermons

Ahc EFOpcT hcnRth VI StElllOIHa
a discussion is going on in the reli-
gious newspapers rs 10 the proper length
Of sermons. The Boston CmgsgaiiondliSi
publishes a number Of communications
upon the subject, which give various
opinions. Most Of the writer's seem to
think that thirty minutes is the standard
length for sermons under ordinary cir.
Cumstnnces. One writer approves Of
forty minutes for the morning sermon,
less for the afternoon, and an hour for
such startling occasions "a the taking Of
Richmond, Va, during the war, or the
assassination Of Lincoln. Allowance is
to be made for the weather, and preach.
ers must be merciful to hearers in danger
of freezing or roasting. Account must
be taken also Of the preachers gifts OF
speaking. An OiI.hahd sermon, alive
with spirit and full Of apt illustrations,
will win attention forty or fifty minutes
from an assembly who will nod over a
dull hOmily Of twenty minutes. Refer.
ence Is to be made to the length Of the
whole service, and Il Is said that seventy.
five minutes Is long enough to keep PEG.
pie together at one time. In reply to
The remark that there are no conversions
after thirty minutes, the ChriAidn Rcgiaer
smarily says that conversion il not the
aim Of all preaching. but that instruction
belongs to the pulpit, and instruction
often requires time and patience. Some
men-nnd we believe that the Rev. DR..
Bushnell il one Of the number-have said
that they can not "turn around in less
than forty minutes. The Rev. DR.. Ry.
lance preached on Wednesday at the
Diocesan Convention, in this city, about
fifty minutes, and kept the attention Of
his hearers, while the whole service
lasted nearly three hours. So Il il i'm.
possible to fix uniform rule. We have
heard sermons within year from ten
minutes to one hour In length, with sulli.
cient reason for the difference.
