A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-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 beeux. They are fond of admira-
ton, hence one of their longings is to
be beautiful. The grand secret of fe-
male beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilste a proper quantity of whole
some food. Take Vinegar Bitt6rs. It
will 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 genuine type Of female love

Water as a Plant Nourisher.

AnexperimentO 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
we're immersed, and have, in this condi-
ton, produced fruit Of the finest quail
ity. Very few plants can obtain sufi-
cjent nourishment from water alone to
enable them to carry on the complete
processes of blossOmir G and fruiting.
The hyacinth, which Is made to flower
in water, has been first brought 10 matu-
rity by a 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 1t apparently thrives
seems to act only IS a solvent Of this

Agricultural Brevities.

A Louisiana planter has produced
three and one-half hogsheads of sugar
per acre-a result of superior culture.
Chickens cannot be raised proftabIy
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 a crop of sorghum which
will yield him five hundred barrels of
syrup, which, at fifty cents gallon, g
low figure, gives ten thousand dollars
for the crop.
If poor soil is to be brought up, 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.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tIeman 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 a 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 plumbRgo.
Another is made of i've parts of tallow,
five parts of sOapsbone, one part of
plumbago and nine parts Of resin oil I;
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, scraWpy 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.
It 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 a good Chester White SOW and
Berkshire boar will make more Doyk

other breed; they may not be as large
at the same age as the full Chesters, but
they will consume less food aud 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 a much lower temperature than that
for other vegetables. Instead of stuffiog
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.

Raising Tobacco in the South.

\ in many portions of the south, be
fore the war, very much of the tobacco
used among the farmers was grown
upon farms and plantations. In Mis-
sissippi, Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
the Carolinas and Louisiana, there was
considerable tobacco grown but a few
years ago. Now there is but little at
tention paid to growing this very i'm
portant crop. The old "home twist -
is hardly to be seen, where q few years
ago little other was to be had. The
poorer classes, with the colored popula-
ton, since the settlement among them
of the northern element, have re-
ceived very luxurious notions in their
drinking, smoking, and chewing habits.
The finest whisky or brandy is sought
after, while Sc white wheat" and "peach
and molasses are fast going out of use.
Fine smoking brands of tobacco are In
use, as well as the most popular plug
and fine cuts. Those who should be
the producers are consumers of the
very article they coulds grow more
cheaply than others. How much like
Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and
Tennessee to raise tobacco for the south
and large export trade
The idea that cotton had ceased to be
king In the south was a most absurd
and premature one. That more corn is
grown, We do not deny, but not to the
considerable extent we have been led to
believe by the reports of those who
desire to make It a corn-producing
country.
Experiments have been made in more
than thirty counties in Texas, the past
season, in growing tobacco of the Vari-
Gus varieties, to test their adaptability
to that soil and climate. The greater
part of these tests have been made in
northern and central counties of the
state, where the Missouri and Ohio
population has settled. With a pro-
tracted drouth and an early frost, still
the result to the planters has been the
most satisfactory. Texas will become
one of our most excellent tobacco
states.-C Cor. Rural World.

Chopping Grecn 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. BE says
Young green tares, especially when
cut Immediately after rain, are most
dangerous, with the ordinary mode of
placing them before animals in uuIin-
tied quantity as cut by the scvtbe. The
losses caused by this system in their
annual total must be enormous. For
thirty years have avoided such losses
by invariably passing all green food.
tares, grass, Italian rye grass, clover and
green beans, through the chaff cutter
according TO the condition of it's growth
1 mix more or less of fine cut straw or
hay chRff with it. This absorbs its an
pertiuous moisture, and prevents fiatu-
lence, distention and death. The same
principle is applied to pulped roots
pulped cabbage, kohl rAbi, mangolds-
the latter being most dangerous early in
the season unless so admixed The cost
of doing ali this Is a trifle as COMPARED
with the serious losses occasioned by It's
omission. The value of single ami
mai would pay the extra cost for several
years. In fact, ] have long since ar
rived at the conclusion that the turning

food, for it fails to furnish the material
with which the hyacinth can stock in
bulb for 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.

a Wrong Custom Corrected.

It is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint. and both the mineral and Vege-
table kingdoms have been diligently searched
to procure the most drastic and poisonous pur-
gatives, in order to produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebled organ. This system Of treatment IS
on the same principle as that Of giving weak
and debilitated man large portions of brandy
to enable him to do a certain amount Of work.
When the stimulaBt is withheld, the organ,
like the system, gradually relapses into more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What, then, is wanted Medi-
cines, which, while they cause the bile to flow
freely from the liver, that organ is toned
into action. viii not OverWork and thus debill-
tate it. but viii, when their use is discOn in
ued, leave the liver strengthened and healthy.
Such remedies are found in DR.. Pierce's Gold

FARM AND GARDEN.
The Correct Way to Feed Straw, and
Roots.

The Correct Way to Feed Straw, and
Roots.
The North British Agriculturist. in
reply to correspondent, thus describes
the proper method of feeding straw and
roots together The straw should be
cut one and one. half inches long, and a
heaped teaspoOnful of salt mixed to
each beast per day. The mixing pro-
cess should be accomplished the day
before the stuff is to be used, and wa
ter must be within the animals reach
Hay for horses should be cut about
three-quarters of an inch long, and put
into deep boxes before the animals

good, fresh Swiss turnip or two daily.
separate from the cut hay. Rather less
than an ounce of salt daily is plenty for
horse. They should get an ounce of
inter every Saturday night. As TO the
question OF pulping and straw cutting
paying, good deal will depend on the
power available. If Water-poWer- can
be obtained, so much the better; but if
animal or steam power is employed, the
expense OF the system will be increased
We should be surprised to find that
our correspondent can keep nearly one
fourth more of cattle on his farm by
means Of pulping and straw cutting
II the animals get what they can eat
they Will consume more turnips pulped
with safety, than in any other way.
The great advantages of pulping are
that there is no choking or blowing ;
that feeders are enabled TO have tIIr
nips, though in mixed state, continu.
ally before cattle, and that cattle will
consume more roots and, we think, take
on fat and flesh rather quicker than
with any other system of feeding.
Deeper troughs will be required with
pulped roots and cut straw than for the
ordinary system practiced in the dis
trlct IN which our correspondent farms.
We would not advise the addition of
cake to the mixture, as it is, we think,
too costly to be mixed in such a heap
and Is more satisfactory given by Itself
1t IS decided improvement, as pre-
venting waste, to cut the hay given to
horses and yet m re desirable is it to
bru Sc the oats, but we would give the
hay and oats separately.

/" Chufaa for stook.,i

a correspondent in the Southern
Farmer asks through your October
number for information in regard to the
chufas as stock food, and seems to
question the correctness of certain
statements made by a correspondent of
the Southern CaltiVator in the August
number of 1873, in regard to this won
derful plant.
Fifteen years knowledge of it enables
us to say that those stat ments are bv
no means evtravagant, and that even far
greater results have been known as
average yield. L. 7. S. seems to think

not deprecated upon by COWS like the
ground pea. The crop is never failing,
where at all cultivated, and keeps we'll
throughout the year in the ground,
which renders it only necessary to
fence off sections or patch or field, as
needed, for hogs, and you are thus en-.
aoled to have healthy and fat swine at
all seasons of the year without one
grain of corn or othe- food, even to
harden the lard, as is necessary when
fattened on other tuberous crops.
1t is boon indeed to the south, and,
unfortunately, is comparatively little
known. We would advise every planter
to plant it, and to buy the seed at any
price they can be had and be certain
to leave some to their children as an
inheritance, unless they promise to be
tape measurers or lawyers, who it is moi
important should know whether swine
thrive best in salt water or fresh.
