Celery as a Cure-All.

The habitual daily use of this veg
etable is much more beneficial to man
than most people are aware OF. A
writer who is familiar with its vir-
tues says: 81 have known many
men and women who, from various
causes, had become so much affected
by nervousness that when they stretch
ed out their hands they shook like
aspen leaves on windy day, and by
moderate daily use of the blanched
footstalks of celery as salad they
become as strong and steady in limb
as other people. l have known 9TH
ers so nervous that the least annoy
ance put them in a state of agitation
and they were in constant perplexity
and fear, who were also effectually
cured by a moderate daily use of
blanched celery as salad at meal
time. l have known others to be
cured of palpitation of the heart
Everybody engaged in labor weaken
ing to the nerves should use celery
daily in the season and onions in it's
stead when not in season." To this
we may add that prominent New
York druggist draws in winter from
his soda fountain a hot extract of
celery, mixed with Liebig's meat eX-
tract, under the name of ox-celery.
1t is a nourishing drink at lunch
time, far better than coffee or tea, and
is doing a great deal in this neigh
borhood to promote temperance. We
give celery almost daily to our ca
nary birds and it cures them of fits {;
they are little animals with very del
icate nerves, easily frightened, and
therefore they need such a remedy
very much, and the relish With which
they take it is proof that their in
stinct guides them to eat what is
good for them. A manufacturer of
Perfumcry of our acquaintance some
years ago commenced to prepare an
extract of celery seed, put up in bot
ties, and intended to give strength to
old or exhausted persons, who by
over-indulgences, have reached such
a state as to require restoratives.-

Full and Scant Feeding.

The fact of it is, all farmers have
not as yet learned that the only eco
nomical way of keeping swine is to
keep them thriving as long as they
live. They whose policy it is to feed
them just enough to keep them
along for the first few months of
their existence, and let them CLEAN
and root and steal for living, will
be likely to become Disguised with
swine keeping; but when the best
breeds are kept as they should be, we
think there is money and satisfaction
in the buslness.-American Rural
Home.

FALL NoTEs.-A rick of good dry
wood, or bin of coal, are very COM
Portable things to have on stormy
day In winter. An extra hundred
pounds Of flesh on an animal for
winter is its wood rick or coal bin.
1t keeps them warm when feed is a
little scarce, If a farmer is short of
hay get the stock fattcr in the fall.
Animals in good flesh winter easier
and are less liable to die than those
poor in flesh.
Make it the first business to go
through the entire stock and select
all in poor condition, place them in
a separate herd, and give special care
and feed. II Is a good policy to
commence messing with grain, every
animal on the farm, on the first day
Of October, if it has not been done
before. In case of swine delay to
give extra care till after corn gather
ing is costly piece of carelessness.
Pork made i'll December or January
costs three cents per pound more, in
Iowa, than if made in October, and
on clover pasture and corn. The ex-
travagance of delay for cold weather
for fattening purposes costs Iowa a
sum OF money, annually reaching
into the millions.
ANIMALS suffer as much from the
cold rain storms, as from the snow
storms Of mid winter. \ few sheds
in the pasture will pay large divi-
dends. They can be constructed of
some cheap material; poles. brush,
and prairie grass will answer.

Educating the Colt.

If you have colt to teach, and
have the habit of speaking sharply
and loudly, correct yourself Of it at
once. Colts are timid, high-spirited
things, if they are worth anything;
and he who manages them should be
of quiet habits, and have a low,
and pleasant-toned voice. The train
er that yells stands in the same cat
egory as the driver in the public race
who screams and whoops like Com
anche Indian, when coming down
the home-stretch; the one should be
banished from the track, and the 9TH
er turned out of the gentleman's
stables.
Our method of educating colt to
the harness and wagon is to educate
him singly, by himself; and this ed
ucation begins very early. When
the colt is twelve or fourteen months
old, begin to put the harness on him.
In few weeks he is accustomed to
it, and ready for the shafts. But, in
DONG this, do not be in a hurry
Give the youngster time to get thor
oughly acquainted with every strap
and buckle, as it were. Let him see
everything, and smell everything
The sense of sight and smell, and
touch, is the great avenue of knowl-
edge to the horse, especially the last
two. The ear and eye give the alarm.
These two organs stand, as 1t were,
on picket for the animals safety
But; if your horse is frightened at
anything, let HIM smell and touch it,
and he will fear no longer.
If your colt is afraid of the har.
ness as it comes rustling out of the
harness-room, lot him touch it with
his nose, and smell of it few times,
and he will soon understand that it
will not hurt him. If he is inclined
to kick or jump if the breeching-
band OR any strap hits his ham or
legs, by gently rubbing them against
the sensitive places he will soon be-
come Indifferent to them. BY the
time the colt is two years of age, or
even less, he should be educated to
go between the shafts, either forward
or backward, and be thoroughly ia
miliar with the harness and vehicle
and ordinary road service Instruct,
ed at this early age, he will never
forget the lessons of obedience and
submission taught, but will be ready
at any future time to be put to work,
without any considerable trouble to
the owner and purchaser.

Milk Instead Of Soap.

A lady writes to the Ne,c York
Times of novel substitute for soap.
Another recommendation in its IA
Vor, 1t seems to us, is the economy
OF the milk, AS, even in ci'Ics where
milk is from six to eight cents per
quart, it would be less expensive to
use than hard soap:
Without giving any recipes for
making soap, wish to tell the hard
worked farmers wives how much la
Dor they may save by not using such
vast quantities of this article. For
nearly five years l have used soap
only for washing clothes. In all
that time l have not used one pound
of soap for washing dishes and other
kitchen purposes. My family has
ranged from three to twenty-five. l
have used cistern water, limestone
water, as hard as possible, and hard
water composed of other ingredients
besides lime, and 1 fiud with all these
my plan works equally well. 1t is
this: Have your water quite hot
and add a very little milk to it. This
softens the water, gives the dishes a
fine gloss, and preserves the hands;
it removes the grease, even that from
beet, and yet no grease is found float
ing on the water, as when soap is
used. The stone vessels l always
set on the stove with a little water in
them when the victuals are taken
from them, thus they are hot when |
am ready to wash them, and the
grease is easily removed. Just try
my plan, you who toll day after day
every spring to make that barrel Of
soap, and let us hear how it succeeds
with you. l like the great barrel Of
soap on washing days, but am glad
to dispense with its aid on all other
occasions. find that my tinware
keeps bright longer when cleaned in
this way than by using soap, or by
securing. The habit so many of us
have acquired of securing tin is
wasteful policy; the present style of
tlnware will not bear it. The tin is
soon scrubbed away, and vessel
that is tit for nothing Is left on our
hands; but if washed in the way
have described, the tin is preserved
and is always bright and clean.

The London Garden remarks:-
"The only remedy for weeds is a
prompt destruction in a young state.
Weeds are easily eradicatcd if never
allowed to advance beyond the seed
leaf. Once let their roots run wide
and deep, and their tops rise high,
and then the weeds are masters in
the garden. 1t provokes one to see
the complacency with which some
cultivators allow weeds to establish
themselves in flower beds or borders,
or on roads or walks, and their sub
sequent futile efforts to subjugate
them. Prompt destruction will ulti-
mately vanqulsh the very worst of
then. Plantains, grass, thistlcs, and
docks are perhaps the most difficult
to .'radi att. But if, by any neglect,
these have gained strong footing in

USE OF Observation-Disclosures
is used for food tor man and domes-
tic animals in various countries of
Europe. In some parts of the Unit
ed States it is extensively grown for
fatte. ing sheep and swine, but it is
generally used in this country for hot
buckwheat cakes during the rigors
of winter. Its fattening qualities
are superior to those of most other
grains. 1t is used in various ways in
different parts of Europe. The -four
is commonly mixed with that of rye
or wheat in most parts of the cont
nent of Europe by both public and
private bakers. In Saxony, Brandon
burg and Silesia buckwheat forms
part or whole of all the three daily
meals of the lower class, and of at
least two Of the daily meals Of the
wealthiest classes. The dish of boil

Of the peasantry in various parts OF

MARpI GRAs.-If the old masters OF !
Gothic architecture. By placing grotesque !
ina es and curious gargoyles in the hid
den corners of their elaborate cathedrals |
and ecclesiastical buildings, meant to
symbolic the fact that the temple Of the
human heart, however pious, contained
in its dark recesses outlandish pieces OF
comicality and scenic waggery, they
were certainly not far from the truth
in the idea of their expression
of it. Thereare but few nations that do
not enjoy grotesque and exaggerated
pictures, and when We find such we are
prone to doubt their true piety, for those
who are most strictly bound to csst-iron
rules of life and conduct most eagerly
relish an innocent Diversion into the
fields of humor and extravaganza. Now,
admitting the fact that these odd iancies
and follies, if you are pleased
to call them SO, are lying asleep in the
hearts of all, is it not well to have some
especial holiday when these may be
brought to light and in the license OF
pleasantly we may express fully those
humors whose repression causes gen
eral moroseness and cynicality? Every
one must feel brighter and happier from
having emptied his heart of caricatures
upon his neighbors or on the times and
wrongs in general. If license is given
for the spirit of innocent mischief, then
that which is not innocent is not
likely to be developed. For
instance, it is an observation, though
we can not assert it as a fact fully con-
frmed, that the sports of the carnival
and Mardi Gras where they
have been observed, and succeeded by q
long lull in the doings of petty crimes
revelry and intoxication. If this be true,
we could defend Atardi Gras upon the
ground of moral expediency, but un-
fortunately there are some things con-
nected with it that would make such q
pea as grotesque as the customs It would
defend.
However we must afford an outlet tc
frankishness, and this comic tournament
or Mardi Gras, we think good and
munifcent way to accomplish il, SO lei
the whole town join in the holiday; let
them have full sway for the day; let
the people enjoy the sports as much as
the actors.
Mardi Gras may prove t. be q
public benefit and relief rather
than mere allowance for tom.
foolsry, us it is, no doubt, deemed by
many deluded souls. We are glad to
know that the first celebration Of the event
in Wheeling promises to be brilliant
affair. Let Rex and his loyal subjects
take care to do nothing to offend the
minds of the community, and next year
it can be gotten up In a grander and
more ella borate style and 1t will have the
countenance of all our people.
