A BEAUTIFUL WOAAN.-The percep-
tive faculty of women Is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshiped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips of
the latter to his lady-love, but the keen
ness of the woman knows that he is
thinking of the former in his heart. All
women have an innate desire to please
their beaux. They are fond of admira-
ton, hence one of their Iongings is to
be beautiful. The grand secret of fe-
male beauty is heslth-the secret of
health Is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate proper quantity of whole
some food. Take Vinegar Bitters. It
viii cleanse the stomach, tone the vital
organs, give a perfect digestion, purify
the blood, clear up the complexion and
produce a state of mental and physical
electricity which gives symmetry of
form, bright eyes, white skin, glossy
hair and a genuine type of female love-
illness which no cosmetic can compare
with.

Water as a Plant Nourisher.

Anexperimento of considerable import
ance in botany has recently been con-
Quoted in England. Some plants of the
watermelon, after their first germina-
ton from the seed, have been sustained
wholly upon water, in which their roots
were immersed, and have, in this condi-
ton, produced fruit of the finest quail
ity. Very few plants can obtain suffi-
cient nourishment from water alone to
enable them to carry on the complete
processes Of blossoms and fruiting.
The hyaeinth, which Is made to flower
in water, has been lirst brought to matu-
rity by growth of several years in the
soil, and has stored in its bulb suffi-
cient food for the maintenance of its
foliage and flowers for an entire season.
The water in which it apparently thrives
seems TO 0ct only as a solvent of this
food, for it fails to furnish the material
with which the hyaeinth can stock in
bulb for a succeeding years subsistence.
Hence, after the plant has once bios
somed in water. it is exhausted, and is
neither thrown away, or set in the
ground and allowed several years to re-
cover its spent forces. In the case of
the watermelon cited above, there was,
however, no previous preparation of
food, and its entire nourishment
throughout vegetation was derived from
the water.

Aforementioned Brevities.

A Louisiana planter has produced
three and one-half hogsheads of sugar
per acre-a result of superior culture.
Chickens cannot be raised proftably
alone, but in connection with other
farm operations nothing pays better.
Feed only meal to fattening fowls for
at least two days before killing, and
feed nothing for a few hours before
killing.
A Florida planter has raised on fifty
acres of land crop of sorghum which
will yield him five hundred barrels of
syrup, which, at fifty cents a gallon, a
low figure, gives ten thousand dollars
for the crop.
If poor soil is to be brought ur, the
manure should be buried until the soil
is sufficiently enriched to the depth it
is to be worked. Afterward, if it and
the climate are naturally moist, top
dressing is best.
tleman keeps cider by racking off when
fermented just right, and adding a
pound of white sugar to each gallon.
It Is a good drink in haying and har-
vesting the year following.
The successful operation of three or
four wind mills on the Vineland tract,
used for drawing water for locomotive
and manufacturing purposes, has in
duced g number of farmers and fruit
growers to construct them for irrigating
purposes
A good lubricator for wooden axles is
made of six parts of clean tallow and
two parts of fine smooth pIumbago.
Another is made of i've parts of tallow,
five parts of soapstone, one part of
plumbago and nine parts of resin oil !;
the tallow and the oil are heated and
mixed, after which the soapstone and
plumbago are added.
You can save feed and trouble by
getting rid of your poorest stock now.
This is particularly true of sheep. Get
rid of the miserable, scrawny ones that
you know will not winter over, or if
they do, will be worth nothing when
spring opens. Better knock them In
the head and sell them for peIts than to
feed them all the winter for nothing.
1t pays to keep good stock, but poor
stock never.
a correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman, who has had experience in hog
raising, says: "I am satisfied that,
other things being equal. a cross be-
tween good Chester White SOW and
Berkshire boar will make more pork
from the same amount of food than any
other breed they may not be as large
at the same age as the full Chesters, but
they Will consume less food and keep in
better condition"
In putting away winter apples, give
them the coolest part of the cellar.
Every cellar ought to have q partition
in it, cutting off a space large enough
TO store apples, and then keep this room
at much lower temperature than that
for other vegetables. Instead of stuffing
| straw in the cellar windows or banking
dirt over them, put in an extra sash
outside of the one that is in, giving four
to six inches space between them. If
the outer sash is fitted close with
weather strips, there is no danger of
freezing, and your cellar is light enough
to go into without a candle or lantern.
A cellar perfectly dark is a nuisance.

A Fish,s Care of Its Young.

An English writer publishes an inter-
esting stat decentralization we quote in
full-of some fresh observations upon
the habits OF a member OF the perch
family in the nurture of her young.
He says "While on the point of taking
my accustomed morn-plunge in one of
the clear, pebbly streams that find their
way into the plains from the northern
mountain-rauRes of Trinidad, my atten-
ton was attracted by the eccentric move
ments of small fish of the perch tribe.
In general, this fish is extremely shy,
scudding OIL into deep water, or under
some over-hanging bank, on the APP
proach of man. On this occasion, how
ever, on putting my hand into the wa
ter, the fish, to my establishment, darted
forward again and again, striking my
hand with considerable force. Rather
at a less to account for such temerity in
a fish only four inches long, I watched
its movements narrowly, and at lat
found out the cause. In a small hollow
close by, about the size of half an egg,
artistically excavated from the quartz
sand, multitude of tiny fish were hud-
died together. their minute fins and
tails in constant motion. They had APP
parently been only very recently hatch
ed, and were no larger than common
house flies. The parent fish kept jeal-
oUs watch over her progeny, res enting
any attempt on my part to touch them.
Next morning, accompanied by my
father and brothers, returned to the
spot, which I had carefully marked the
day before. For some time, however,
we searched in vain tor the fish and her
young. At length, few yards further
mp the stream, we discovered the parent
guarding her fry with jealous care, in a
cavity similarly scooped ont of the
coarse sand. Any attempt to introduce
ones finger was vigorously opposed by
the watohful mother. This is the first
and only instance that has come under
my notice of fish Watching over her
young, and conveying them, when
threatened by danger, to some other
place"

ChOppIng Green Corn.

Many OF our readers are in the habit
of running all hay, straw, and stalks
through the straw-cutter before feeding
them, but few probably ever practiced
or ever heard about cutting green food.
Mr.. S. J. Mechi advocates this practice
as rendering stock free from liability to
hOven or blotting, especially when the
grass is wet. He says
"Young green tares, especially when
cut Immediately after rain, are most
dangerous, with the ordinary mode of
placing them before animals in unIim-
tied quantity as cut by the scythe. The
losses caused by this system in their
annual total must be enormous. For
thirty years l have avoided such losses
by invariably passing all green food,
tares, grass, italian rye grass, clover and
green beans, through the chaff- cutter,
according 10 the condition of its growth,
l mix more or less of fine cut straw or
hay chaff with It. This absorbs its su-
perhdous moisture, and prevents fatu-
lence, distention and death. The same
principle is applied to pulped roots
pulped cabbage, kohl rabbi, mangolds-
the latter being most dangerous early in
the season unless so admixed The cost
of doing all this is a trifie as compared
with the serious losses occasioned by its
omission. The value of I single ami
NAL would pay the extra cost for several
years. In fact, have long since ar
rived at the conclusion that the turning
out, roaming at large and whole food
system will be given up by those who
prefer profit

Here is a description of feed rack
which will economize food, keepit clean,
and give the weak and strong an equal
chance:
Take plank six inches wide, and of
any desired length nail on straps of
inch boards so as TO form trough two
inches deep. Two inches apart in this,
place perpendicular sticks or wires one
foot high, and put on & railing, making
1t somewhat resemble a hay rack.
Hinge board cover on top. and the
machine is complete. Put it in some
convenient place IN the hennery, or
fowl-house, and pour in the feed. The
fowls soon learn its use, and get the
hang of it. They can feed FROM all
sides by putting their heads between
the wires.

The Erect of Cookery on the Health

Of Receipts.
HFAITH I'D oooKERY.


HEALTH AND COOKERY.
The New York Times says Among
the subjects which we should have been
glad to see more said about at the re-
cent health congress In Philadelphia, is
the relation of good cookery to health.
We have no means of knowing how
many deaths there are from unwhole-
some cookery among the poor people
and some that are not poor but there
can be no reasonable doubt that the
number is very great. The operation
of this cause in increasing the bills of
mortality is often, indeed. indirect and
remote, but it is by no means unimport-
ant on that account.
We may remark, for the benefit of
young ladies IN whose vista of the fu-
ture the possibility of matrimony some
times lends color to the scene, that in
the great majority of cases, if a lady
would have her cooking well done, she
must be capable of infinitely attending
to it herself. Cooks who can, without
instruction or supervision, get up a
plain family breakfast or dinner as it
ought to be done, are very difficult to
obtain, except at prices which only rich
people can pay, and are not always to
be had even then. But It Is not of per-
SONS VINO are aDi6 70 n1re women TO 90
their cooking that we wish here to
speak, so much as of the families Of
working people. The amount of bad
cookery, and of consequent injury TO
health, among some portions of this lat
ter class is positively frightful. 1t may
be observed that the III health occa-
stoned by bad cooking or improper food
of any kind, is far from being confined
to disorders of the stomach. There is
no classes of diseases to which the hu-
man system is subject which is not liza
bic to be aggravated by this cause.
Especially is this true of affections of
the lungs. In ordinary cases, one of
the most efficient preventives of CON
sumption in individuals who have q
tendency to that disease is wholesome
and nutritious diet. Greasily cooked
meat, heavy bread or biscuits, and badly
boiled potatoes. are scarcely less injur-
ious TO such persons than undue expos
ure to the weather. The exercise OBJ
tanned by manual labor often, it is true,
counteracts, in a certain degree, among
the poor, the effects of unskillful and
careless preparation of food but il
does SO only in a certain degree. II
does not, in most cases, fully obviate
the evil, and in many instances hardly
mitigate it at all.
