FIG PUDDING Englishwoman,"
writing in the Germantown Telegraph,
says that when Britannia is out Of her
own garden fruit, she falls back with
much success on the fruits of Spain and
Corinth. ,Britannia's plum pudding and
currant dumplings are the delight OF
her rowing family in every cline, though
the fruit with which they are made is
foreign. "Not worth fig" may be a
good aphorism in Syria, but in England
It has no application, particularly if figs
be made int buildings, Just as plums
and currants are used. Let the figs be
cut up, and mixed with eggs, -four, suet,
milk, etc., in the usual currant method.
In this way we question whether any
thing is nicer.

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

Mr.. HORACE WHITE, Laona, N. Y,
has twin pair of short-horn steers, whose
weight at one year old was $40 pounds,
showing gain of 400 pounds in one
year, or little less than two pounds each
per day.
In the year 1874, Peter P. Barnard,
Hemlock Lake, N. Y, gathered sixty
bushels of extra clean timothy seed from
six acres of land, which sold for $3.50
per bushel. 1t was reaped with a
machine, and trodden out with horses
There were, also, thirty apple trees on
the six acres.
UP to May 10, 81, 1887 bales of foreign
and 1882 bales of domestic wool were
received at New York. In correspond
ing time last year the receipts were a.
697 bales foreign and 17,026 bales do
nestle. The total receipts this year
were 806 bales in excess of those for
same time last year.
DURING the past year sixty-two sales
of short-horns came off in the country,
at which 523 bulls were sold for total
of $40, 768, and 1904 cows and heifers
for $S63,09l. Grand total, 1851 head,
for 81 ,004, 159. Average of all, 1887.
The bulls averaged 1927, and the cows
and heifers $413.
MANY farmers are led by their purse
strings through the credit system. Al
though they may have valuable farms,
tolerably well stocked, and to the eye of
the casual observer might be thought to
be independent, they are downright
slaves to the merchant from whom they
buy their supplies, and whom they in
trust to sell their crops.
FARMERS must not only so cultivate
the crops upon which they mainly de-
pend for income, as to make them profit
able, but they must make all the minor
crops, which they raise for feeding stock
or for family supplies pay cost of cult
walton, otherwise the profits of the lead
ing crops will be absorbed by the losses
on minor crops, and the farm accounts
will show no balance on the right side.
ALLUDING to paragraph, now going
the rounds of the press, in relation to
the Masters farm in Saratoga County,
New York. which has been sold but
twice in 200 years, the Schoharie Union
says: eve can beat that right here
within the corporate limits of old Scho-
harie. The farm owned by Martin l..
Schaefer has never been sold. A
Schaefer settled on it when this valley
was first settled in 1909, and secured his
title direct from the Indians, and since
then it has been handed down from
father to son."
THE report of the Committeeon Fruits
of the Massachusetts, Horticultural Soci-
ETY. for 1874 says that Robert Manning
placed upon the tables of the society a
dish contai ing two dozen orange pears,
from tree belonging to Captain Charles
H. Allen, of Salem, and that the tree is
two hundred and thirty years old. 1t
bore three bushels in 1874 and eight and
half bushels in 1873. The old Stuy-
vesant pear tree, which stood few years
ago at the corner of Third avenue and
Thirteenth street, New York, and bore
fruit to the last, was about the same age,
but this has since died.

To LEAD ALL COMPETITORS is the aim Of
the proprietors of the Wilson shuttle sewing
machine. 1t is founded on the very best
principles known to sewing machine science
and improvements, in advance of all other
sewing machines, are being adopted con-
stantly. The Wilson is rapidly gaining the
preference of all parties that are acquainted
with sewing machines, and it has already
taken the trent rank among the frst-class
machines of this country; and its price,
owing to its being manufactured where
labor and material is much cheaper than in
eastern cities, is fifteen dollars less than
all other first-class machines. Machines
will be delivered at any railroad station in
this county, free of transportation charges,
il ordered through the company at Cleve
land, Ohio. They send an elegant cata
logue and chrome circular free on applica
ton. This company want few more good
agents.

STATISTICS show that of the thousands

STATISTICS show that of the thousands
who die annually large proportion are
destroyed, not through old age or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard either
on the part of the sufferer or his parents
of the simplest laws of nature. Such
being the case-and figures can not misrep-
resent tacts-the conclusion is that were
the causes of intemperance, its kindred
vices, and a disregard of natural laws
removed, the average length of the hui
man lifetime would be extended proper
tionately. What agent most rapidly,
harmlessly and certainly will eradicate
these vices, or the tendency to them3 is
the question which has been as thor
oughly and persistently agitated as the
search for the philosopher stone. The
discovery has been made by DR.. Joseph
Walker, whose widely known VINEGAR
BITTERs are accomplishing wonders that
the old fogy doctors never dreamed of.

thousands are doing all over the coun-

A FEW days since very absentminded
man got into horse car at Portland, Me-,
for Deering. He had basket with him,
and to make sure that he would not for
get it when he got out, he placed it Sc
curely between his feet. During the
ride he engaged very earnestly in con-
versation with another gentleman, and
when the car arrived at the place where
he wished to alight he hastily arose, and
naturally fell over the basket. Picking
himself up, he exclaimed, What fool
left that basket there for people to stun.
BILE overw and got out of the car, leaving
the basket where he had kicked it.

ASPARAGUS AND BEANs.-Cut the
tender parts of asparagus into quarter
inch lengths, boil in an equal quantity
of water, adding about an equal amount
of well-cooked Lima beans. Cook until
the asparagus is tender, and serve warm.
Instead of the beans, the asparagus may
be thickened with -four or with cracker
crumbs.
DRIED-APPLE PUDDING.-Two parts
dried apples, two parts raisins and cur
rants, and three parts coarsely-broken
bread crumbs. Stew the apples half an
hour and chop them coarsely, then place

kettle, alternating them with the bread
crumbs and the mixed fruits. Add the
juice in which the apples were stewed,
and stew or steam the whole slowly four
or FIVE hours.-Science Of Health.

WELLINGTON, Lorsin Co, o. Aug. "a, 1874.
DIR. X. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. T.:
Dear Sir-Your medicines, Golden Medical
Discovery, DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, have
proved of the greatest service to me. Six
months ago no one thought that could pos
sibly live long. l had complication Of
diseases---scrofula, manifesting itself in erup-
tons and great blOtches on my head that
made such sores that could not have my
hair combed without causing me much suf-
fering; also causing swollen glands, tonsils
enlarged, enlarged or "thick neck" and
large and numerous boils. / also suffered
from a terrible chronic catarrh, and in fact
/ was so diseased that life was burden to
me. had tried many doctors with no bene-
fit. finally procured one half dozen bot
ties Of your Golden Medical Discovery and
one dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy and COM
menced their use. At first was badly dis
couraged, but after taking four bottles of
the Discovery began to improve, and when
had taken the remaining l was well. In
addition to the use of Discovery applied
solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick
neck, as you advise in pamphlet wrapping,
and it entirely disappeared. Your Discovery
is certainly the most wonderful blood med
icine ever invented. / thank God and you
from the depths of my heart, for the great
good it has done me.
Very gratefully,
Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury, in some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of
these agents have strong tendency to break
down the blood corpuscles, and debilitate
and otherwise permanently injure the hui
man system, and should therefore be dis
carded. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis.
covery, on the other hand, being composed
of the fluid extracts of native plants, barks,
and roots, will in no case produce injury,
its effects being strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparilla, which used TO enjoy
quite reputation as a blood purifier, is a
remedy of thirty years ago, and may well
give place as it is doing, to the more positive
and valuable vegetable Alternatives which
later medical investigation and discovery
has brought to light. In Scrofula or Kings
Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas,
Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflamma-
tons, Indolent Inflammation, Mercurial af-
fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin
and Sore Eyes, as in all other blood-diseases,
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
shown its great remedial powers, curing the
most obstinate and intractable cases. Sold
by all dealers in medicines.

It was held in the discussion at the
State Fair at Rochester that corn in orch :
ards was an advantage, owing to the cult
walton which the land received; and il was
further mentioned 10 the remarks elected
that corn sown for fodder, in which case
there we're no ears to draw substance, from
the soil, improved rather than depleted
the land, by the vegetable matter which
the roots furnished the soil. This is on
the principle that land improves BY graz
ing. The grass is fed Of without going
to seed. The cases are parallel, as corn is
grass. Il is encouraging 70 those who
grow corn for fodder that this is 50. Good
crops can thusbe resasd for feeding green
during the summer, or II not all needed
saved for winter feed, the land remaining
the same, or better fitted for other equally
good or superior crops. Clover is still
more beneficial to land. The two should
be more grown, especially for the purpose
Of feeding IN . drought, or when the grass
becomes rank and hard, and also as feed
during the hot days, particularly the hot
moons, when cows should be put up OF
have access to shade and then fed. Cows
