AGRICULTURAL.
WORKING HElFERS.

A correspondent of the Buffalo Live
Stock Journal, who has small farm
of ten acres, is trying the experiment
of having all his farming done with
COWS, thus saving the expense Of keep
ing horses. He broke pair of two
year old heifers, with view Of using
them when they got old enough and
of sufficient strength. He finds them
gentle and teachable, and from what
he has used them the past fall, just in
the way Of making them handy, he
finds they yield as much milk as his
heifers usually have done. argues
that on so small farm it would re-
quire large proportion Of it to keep
a span of horses, whereas if COW
can be made to perform the necessary
team work and at the same time yield
good supply Of milk, the saving, on
account of not keeping the horse, will
be about $l20 annually. He propo-
ses to adopt the system of soiling and
to keep eight COWS on ten acres. If
the cows are all broken to the yoke,
this would give him four teams, and
thus by g. frequent change of teams,
no animal need be put too long or to
excessive labor during any day.

A CHEAP HARD SOAP.

Many housekeepers in the country
know how difficult it is to obtain a
good article of bar soap. The yellow
soap sold at stores cut soft as cheese
and rubs away as easily, and unless
the housewife orders box of soap at
time, and piles it up in stacks on
the attic or some dry place, the yearly
record will show good sum paid out
for soap purchased by the bar.
The following receipt will prove a
desirable item of economy.
Four large bars of yellow soap two
pounds Of sal. soda; three ounces bo-
rax; one ounce liquid ammonia.
Shave the soap in thin slices, put it
into eight quarts Of soft water Grain
water is the best). When the soap is
nearly dissolved add the borax and
sal soda; stir till all is melted.
Pour it into a large tub or shallow
pan; when nearly cold add the am
monia slowly, mixing it we'll. Let ii
stand day or two then cut it into
cakes or bars, and dry in warm
place. No better soap eau be made
to wash white clothes, calicoes and
aannels, and it is excellent for all
household purposes. 1t costs but 8
cents per pound, and is made in less
than half an hour. This recipe has
been sold for S., and will be Of ser.
vice to every family.-Hearth ana

It is familiar to most orchardists
that some apples of the same variety
in the cellar keep much longer than
Others. Some of the Baldwins, for
instance, begin to rot in December,
even without having been injured by
bruising. Others will remain fresh,
solid and sound until April or May
These different specimens, with all
grades between, are promiscuously
mixed together. 1t IS worthy of in.
quiry whether the long keepers dc
not come from particular trees, which
from soil, culture, age or other inau.
ence ripen their specimens in such a
way as to enable them to resist de.

The nest boxes of hens should be
movable, so that after Matching, and
occasionally when used only for lay
ing, they may be conveniently cleaned
One way is to whitewash them; but
another, preferred by some, is to kim
die fire inside and char them. This
process will etfsctually destroy vermin
and their larvae, and will thoroughly
purify the nests by leaving coating
of charcoal inside. This substance is
one Of the best antiseptics, and per-
feet deodorizer. Boxes made of sew
en-eighth stuff-pine, hemlock or
spruce-will outlast a number Of these
publications by fire, as the process
tends TO preserve the wood.

$3.50 BED-sPREAD AND OUR
TAINSl
Something Grand and Gorgeous |!
A Mammoth Furniture Establish
ment

During u recent trip to St. Jo-
seph, we paid a visit to the immense
establishment of Louis Hax, on Fifth
street, near Felix. Is certainly out
rivals any similar house ~ the west.
| One OF the most attractive sights ev-
er to be seen is there suspended from
the balustrade, in all its grandeur, in
the shape off bed-spread and window
curtains, made of genuine lace and
the richest blue silk. Its cost is $3.50.
lie has also a heavy stock of goods in
that line from that price varying all
the way down to two dollars.
An army of baby carriages meet the
eye, got up in every variety of style,
from the finest perambulator to the
plaincst gig.
Perhaps the largest stock of furni-
tnre in the State (savc St. Louis) is
here to be found. Every thing in the
line of the useful, or Of adornment,
can here be obtained, on the most
liberal terms. Those who wish to
see the progress of the age as exemp-
lifted in new and rich designs of
furniture, should give this mammoth
establishment q visit.
Nearly one-half of the hoor is de-
voted to the display of his stock of
carpets, of which he seems to have
every pattern and quality that can be
called for. Every taste can be suited.
He has also a number ofrich ottomans,
of elaborate design and skillful work
m%anship. a more extensive or finer
lot of carpets was probably never
brought to st. 10.
Window curtains Of all grades and
descriptions kept constantly OH hand.
Give this establishment q visit !!
The sights are worth seeing even
though no purchase be made. Ev-
cry taste and every purse can be graf
itiGd. Mr.. IIaX is q gentlcmanly,
candid dealer, straightforward and
honest with his patrons, and consc-
quently does an immense business
HIS house is daily throngcd with Wis
itors and purchasers.

eident day before yesterday while out
hunting. His brother, himself, and

When they had been out quite awhile
the two brothers changed guns, and
by some accident the gun in the hands
OF the elder brother was discharged, the
contents entering the body of the young
er Knapp, making a fatal wouAd.
A large hole was made by the shot in
the back of the neck, so large that the
breath is taken into the lungs through

mouth. 1t took the two young men
with him two hours to get him home
Doctor Siemans,, Of this city, was imme-
diately sent for, ard the wound dressed.
The Doctor thinks, it possible for the
young man to live, but quite improbable.
The accident has thrown a gloomy pail
over the residents in the vicinity in
which he lived, his parents realizing in
all its sad intensity the addiction thew
have received.-Herald, 9th.

you to let the people of the county
know through your valuable paper,
at once, whetherthe citizens of your
city intend to, or desire to inaugurate
such measures as will insure to the
people of the whole county such a
celebration as is above contemplated.
since it is time such steps are taken
and known, that the other parts of
the county may not move in getting
up other neighborhood gatherings on
the same occasion. AS this is the

ly ONE Celebration in the county,
and let arrangements be made there
