In certain farm house twenty yeers
ago . great blank book was Iept ahd L.
beled "Home Journal" Every night
somebody made Al entry in it. Father
set down the sale Of the calves, or moth
er the cutting of the beby's eye-tooth |;
or perhaps Jenny wrote full account Of
the sleighing party last night; or Bob
the progress of the Phi Beta club, of Tom
scrawled, "Tried my new gun. Bully.
Shot into the fence and Johnson's old
cat" On towards the middle Of the
book there was an entry Of Jenny's mar
riage, and one of the younger girls had
added description Of the bridesmaids
dresses, and long afterward there was
written, "This day father died" in Bob's
trembling hand. There was blank for
many months after that. But nothing
could have served better to bind that
family of headstrong boys together than
the keeping of this book. They come
back to the old homestead now men and
women with grizzled hair, 70 eco their
mother, who is still living, and turn
over its pages reverently, with many
hearty laugh, or the tears coming into
their eyeA It Is their childhood come
back to them in visible shape.

Pull Down Your Vest"

d. d. French, of Milwaukee, says of
the phrase "pull down your vest" that
it is not new but has been revived lately.
I first heard it about twenty yearf ago.
Lincoln and Douglas were campaigning
it for Congress. I was something Of
politician then, and went to the meetings
whenever I got a chance-in my wild
days, you know. Ny! How Douglas
used to throw himself. Carpenters no.
where. When he'd get of particularly
fine passage-all eloquence, fire and ges-
ture-the buttons to his vest would pop
off like periods all along through his
sentences. When he'd get through and
was sitting down and raking back his
hair, the boys would howl, "Bully tor
you, little fellow. Pull down your vest."
Then Lincoln's lank form would rise up,
like an intersection point, and the crowd
would be still.

Early Cut Grass Best.

The German papers publish details of
. series of experiments carried on 1t the
agricultural schools in that country for
the purpose Of testing the nutritive
properties of grass and hay at various
stages. By an elaborate series Of analy.
ses, it is shown why young grasses are
more nutritiye than mature grass. The
experiments show that it
is more easily digestible. Thus grass
two and half inches high contains
nearly fifty per cent. more of albumen-
ODDS than grass which is six inches high,
and ten more of 'crude fat" The ma
ture grass contains more woody fibre and
less fesh-forming matter than the young
grass, and, besides this, it is found that
the nutritious albumenoids exist in
a less soluble form in hay than in young
grass. Hence the difference in nutritive
value and digestibility. Autumnsl hay
was found to be more nutritious than
hay.

Attending IT, Hsrses.

Avoid as far as possible exposing
horses to storms. When .pp . journey,
aim to feed at the regular hours. If
Rething more can be done, take along
some corn meal, and put q quart in .

suffer from dyspepsia; and one great
cause of it is irregularity in feeding. and
giving too much grain when the horse is
fatigued. When q horse has been ex-
posed to a storm, aud comes home in an
exhausted condition, give him q warm

bran in 2 pail, and pour on two or three
quarts of boiling water, and stir it up |;

An astack of collie would be avoided by
these means. We think many farmers
err in not feeding their horses more on
grain. It would be better to work hard

higher. Of one thing we are certain
not one farmer in ten grooms his horse
sufficiently. It is shame to q man to
leave horse at night after hard days

dry bedded, and all his wants attended

Honest Old lack.

When Secretary Chandler was in the
Senate he was offered an opportunity to
subscribe for some stock in q proposed
horse railway in Washington, but he de-
clined the offer saying, II make it the
invariable rule of my life not to take
stock or other pecuniary interest in any
company chartered or otherwise aided
by Congress while in the Senate. This
enterprise Of yours is good one. A road
is needed through the northern portion
Of the city You propose to 60, and if
we'll managed, will pay a good percent.

there is any improperly in Senators
taking stock in it. Ihave made the rule
above mentioned for myself only, and
the more think upon the subject the
more am disposed to adhere to it."

Patrons and Politics.

While it is notorious fact, that as an
organization of Oranges. we eschew poll
tics, it il nevertheless true. that each
individual member possesses and is enti-
tied to exercise all the political rights
as any other citizen. Being Patron
of Husbandry. the duty of exercising
this right is more imperative than if they
were not members, because the laws Of
our government control our interests,
and it is through these laws that the
evils we complain Of, in many respects,
must be corrected. There is the neces
sity. then, for US as citizens, to educate
ourselves in political economy; to exer-
else upon all occasions the rights con.
ferred upon US, to use all fair and hon
orable means, to secure the election of
those who are friendly to the agricul-
tural interests of the country. We do
not advocate the election of a person
simply because he is Patron, but we do
advocate the election of those who are
friendly to our principles, believing that
they will tend to promote the interests Of
mankind. We conceive, therefore, that
prior to any election, we should never
let an opportunity to affiliate with those
and those alone, who will render US
service. We should also use diligence
to discover the proper man for the proper
place, and make an effort TO secure his
Northumberland Patron.

Grange Courts.

There is clause in the grange consti-
tuition that one member of the order
shall not 60 to law with another member
until the question shall be submitted to
the members of the grange court. We
trust this rule will be enforced in every
subordinate grange. The clause during
the year 1875 saved the Patrons of Ken
lucky $lO0,OO0 by preventing litigation.
Every subordinate grange should have
the members of the grange court elected,
and it should be the duty of that court
to do all in their power to prevent liti-
cation among their members. This clause
has prevented neighbors going to law,
kept them friends. and been blessing to
them and their families.

What would be the best food for
swine in summer would not answer the
same purpose in winter. In summer
such food should Be given - would keep
the animal in IN improving condition,
and would cause it to lay on little fat,
bat not % much - to cause it to suffer
from heat, - . fat porker undoubtedly
does. Cooling foods, sddh. - plenty Of
young clover and bran, and middling
slop is what We use much Of, not forget
ting to give regular and abundant sup
plies Of fresh, cool water. In putting up
swine for exhibition purposes, We have
tried many different kinds Of food for the
fall exhibitions, but have found none 30
desirable - slop mate of corn and oats
ground together, one-third ofthe former,
by measure, two-thirds Of the latter.
Ono of the best ways to prepare it is to
scald it at night and feed next morning,
put on the mass only enough hot water
to thoroughly moisten it and then cover
up the barrel tight 90 that it can steam
we'll, and mako the mass mellow and
nice by morning. If it is found dnde.
sirable to scald it, moisten the mass with
water and then put In one or more pans
of sour milk-thick milk or clabber-to
cause it to sour by the time it is used.
We use both or either plan, and find
them both good. As an ordinary sum-
mer feed, We have found this food to
answer almost all purposes as experience
has abundantly proved that breeding
stock should not be very fat, only in
healthy. growing condition, to insure
healthy, vigorous offspring. The refuse
from the truck patches such as tomatoes,
cabbages, &C., comes nicely in play for
food In connection with the
shove slop, as do appless-windfall-

How TO PUT AN EGG IN A SMALL
BorTLE.-To accomplish this seemingly
impossible act, requires the following
preparation: You must take an egg
and:soak it in vinegar, and in process of
time its shell will become quite soft, so
that it may be extended lengthways
without breaking. Then insert it into
the neck of a small bottle, and BY pour
ing cold water upon it, it will resume its
former figure and hardness. This is re.
ally a complete curiosity, and battles
those who are not in the secret to find out
how it is accomplished. II the vinegar
used is not sufficiently strong to produce
the required softness of shell, add one
teaspoonful of strong acetic acid to every
two tablespoonful Of vinegar. This will
render the egg perfectly flexible and easy
of insertion into the bottle, which must
then be filed with cold water.

PROFITS OF ARTIFICIAL WOODLAND.
AS illustrating the value of timber OIL
waste lands, an English Journal instan-
ces the sale of wood which took place
lately on the estate of the Earl of Cav.
dor, in Nairnshire, England. In 1890,
two hills, about three hundred acres in
extent were planted with fir and other
trees and after successive timing, the
sale Of which realized large sums, the re.
mainder Of the wood has just been sold
off for the sum of S16,0OO. The sums
realized for the sale of wood on this waste
land during the fifty years is stated to be
equal per acre to the return for the best
arabic land in the country.

Another Care for Diptheria.

Our Vernon correspondence, day or
two ago contained an account of a singu-
lar experience of the family Of the Hon.
John 8. Dobson and his married daught-
er, Mrs. Parker, and her children, in
being stricken down, one after another,
with the worst form of diptheria. They
were in Different houses. and there was
no known local or other cause to account
for these successive attacks. The suffer-
ems were treated by DR.. Doodrich with
the swab Of tannin, described year or
two since in the Tnmes-the taunin being
mixed with simple strip to carry it. It
cleans out the poisonous matter from the
throat and saves the victims life. These
attacks were all cured-even that of the
youngest child, little girl who il was
feared could not survive. With the use
of the swab, the doctor also uses potash
gargle and . little carbolic acid. We
believe his system has never yet failed.

Care for Corns.

There is but one cure for corns, and
that is: Take lemon and roll it until
it is soft; cut thick slice and bind it
on the corn on retiring at night. In the
morning, if the corn is white and disin.
tegrated, pull it out with your finger
nails-never cut corn. Sometimes
several applications of the lemon slices
will be necessary, but the corns are
bound to succumb, and you can dance
the next night if you like. After you
remove the corns wear shoes that fit you
and are not too stiff in the soles.

dug . fine crop and planted again.
About the first of March they were dug
and another crop planted, and now he is
digging the third crop and planting the
fourth. He says they aave averaged
thus far $40 bushels to the acre, and
