A GOOD wagon costs 8 considerable sum and it should be taken proper care of and made to last as long as possible. Few persons understand the importance of thoroughly lubricating the axles, etc., of wagons and carriages and still fewer know which are the most suitable lubri- cators to use, and the proper way of ap- plying them. A well made wheel will endure ordinary wear from ten to twenty five years, if care is taken to use the right amount of the proper lubrica- tor, but if this matter is not attended to, a wheel will be used up in five or six years. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and work itself out all around the tenons of the spokes and spoil the wheel. Tal- low is the best lubricator, for wooden axle-trees and castor oil for iron.

ssIT IS A great blessing to have help fulewife. There was once half-witted fellow who informed his father that he was about to marry. 'Why, Charles, said the old man, you cannot support yourself. What fool to think of getting married.' T know it father,' replied Charles; sbutI can pretty nearly sup port myself, and it does seem as if 8 wife ought to help me some.''

STACKING AND FEEDING.-W. Doyle, of Gratiot, Wisconsin, writes giving his method of caring for straw:
 Straw with us is the principle article of food for cattle in winter, and it be- comes necessary as matter of economy to make the most of it.
 s As the thrashing season comes some time before we feed, the straw should be well stacked and picked up, as in the case of hay, and good fence built about it for it's preservation. Many farmers allow swine to get at the straw stack. This is a miserable practice, for the straw is wasted and made unw hoiesome for winter use. I feed it out with a great deal of care, as would hay, and thus utilize it all

ASHES are among the best fertilizers for onions. For this crop they should be strewed along the rows lengthwise, and the cultivator then run between them, -orfelse hoed by hand. Applied to Indian corn, a handful to each hill immediately before rain-storm, or just before a crop is hoed, ashes give good returns. For vines in the garden they are also desirable. Ashes applied to grass just after the first crop Of hay has been taken off are said to have fine ef- feet.

B. F. KunkePs Worm Syrup never fails to remove all kinds of worms.
 Seat, Pin, and Stomach Worms are
 readily removed by Kunkel's Worm
 Syrup. Dr. Kunkel is the only suc- cessful Physician in the country for the removal of Tape worms. It removes them in 3 to 3 hours, with head and all complete alive, and no ice until head is passed, Common sense teaches if Tape Worm can be removed, all other worms can be readily destroyed. Ask your druggist for bottle of Kunkeps Worm Syrup. Price $1 per bottle. It never fails. If he has it not, have him get 1t, or send to Proprietor, B. F. Kunkel, 259 North Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa. (Advice at office free, or by mail. )

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON PLANTS An English agricultural paper says it has been proved that the seeds of certain plants, if gathered in one climate and sown in another, will germinate earlier or later and with more or less vigor, according as the new climate is colder or warmer than the old, and that a diff ference of few degrees only in latitude will produce these results. For exam pie, wheat from Scotland sown in the south of England will germinate and ripen much earlier than wheat of ex- actly similar quality gathered in the south and planted in the same latitude in which it was grown. This fact is of the utmost importance to agricultur- alists. To secure early growing grain crops it is only necessary to take care that the seed is gathered in a colder eli mate than that in which it is to be sown. The same thing is noticeable among other plants, and florists and horticul- turalists might take advantage of this circumstance to produce both earlier and stronger plants than they do now, without the appliances of forcing.

CURE FOR FELoNs.-We have had a case of felon in our family lately, and treated it successfully by 'steaming the whole hand with bitter herbs. It was allowed to progress, through ignorance, until badly swollen, exquisitely pain full, and of livid purple color. Being in the palm of the hand it involved the whole hand and wrist in theswelling. A handful each of tanzy, hops, catnip, and wormwood was thrown in an old basin, small quantity of tobacco and half teacupful of soft soap added, and sufficient water to cover. When boiling hot, the hand was placed over the steam, and a small blanket was thrown over the basin to retain the steam which was applied until the mixture cooled. This was repeated day and night until the pain was entirely removed, which was in forty. eight hours. The relief from the paroxysms of pain is almost magical as soon as the steam is applied.
 The mixture was only once renewed. Between the applications of steam, a poultice of soft soap, thickened with slippery elm flour, was applied, but | think it was unnecessary. After using for day the hand was submitted to a physician, who thought it should be l less than week, but the next day the pain took it's final leave. No anodyne was used to procure sleep, as the steam ing instantly relieved the pain until the next attack.
 | CLEANSING FEATHERS OF THEIR AMI NAL OIL.-The following receipt gained premium from the Society of Arts Take for every gallon of clean water one pound of quicklime, mix them well together, and when the undissolved lime is precipitated in fine powder pou1 off the clean lime water for use.s Put feathers to be cleaned into another tub and add to them quantity of clean lime water, sufficient to cover them about three inches, when well immersed and stirred about therein. The feathers when thoroughly moistened. will sinl down, and should remain in the lime water three or four days; after which the foul liquor should be separated iron them, by laying them in sieve. The feathers should be afterwards wei washed in clean water, and dried upor nets, the meshes of which may be abou the fineness of cabbage-nets. The feathers must, from time to time, bt shaken on the nets, and as they get drt will fall through the meshes, and ar' to be collected for use. The admission of air will be serviceable in drying The process will be completed in thre' weeks; and after being thus prepared the feathers will only require to b. beaten to get rid of the dust. a.l5 e t.!

r ASPARAGUS IN NWINTER.-There is pro. bably no vegetable that repays the trou-. ! ble of artificial cultivation better than asparagus. It grows rapidly and attains great size when properly cared for; and it may be made a source of great profit, large quantities of it being grown under glass in France, and sold in winter at high prices. M. yacquisson horticul- turaIist, has introduced plan of forcing asparagusI He uses an ordinary wine 1 bottle with the bottom cut ott. These
 bottomless bottles, when well corked, are placed over the asparagus head just
 as it is beginning to rise above the ground, The asparagus being thus pro
 tected not only grows fast, butis so ten
 der that the whole of it may be eaten.
 The air. being kept from it, the develop
 ment of the woody fibre of the plant is retarded, while that of the cellular tis- sue is accelerated. Cultivated in this l way, asparagus is as expeditiously cut as when grown in the ordinary manner, sufficient light passing through the bottle to show when the heads are ready
 for gathering. In addition to this, the small amount of light which passes through the bottle gives the asparagus a rosy tinge which greatly improves it's l appearance.

RUBB1sH.-Myriads of insects and spores of mold and injurious fungi gather in the rubbish of the farm. Burn everything of the kind. Potato tops harbor the spores of the potato disease; !; straw, corn, fodder and stubs harbor chinch bugs; chips, bark, weeds and all such waste, furnish hiding places for grubs, beetles, etc. As preventive mea- sures none are more effective than gen. eral neatness and cleanliness every where about the farm.

AWoRD TO FARMERS SoNs.-To those who prize the freedom peculiar to life inithe country, and also the security of a asteady occupation, the pursuit of farm ing in this country offers great advan- tages. Every talent which the most gifted young man possesses may be exer- cised in connection with agriculture, and the more finished his education the bette will be his chances of gaining culture from his surroundings and ac- quiring influence with his neigh bors.
 Already large portion ofAthe per manent wealth of our nation is in the hands of ffarmers, and every facility is offered by our laws for any one who wishes to secure 8 farm for himself. The introduction of machinery for al- most all kinds of farm work, the multi pncation of means of transportation, and the great demand in cities and towns Tor the best farm produce, make it necessary for man to know the cost of each crop he raises that he may de- vote his time and labor to, that which pays the highest per cent. oh capital ln- vested. Hundreds of farmers annually dispose of their wheat, potatoes, apples, -corn, cattle or horses, at the market price, without knowing the actual cost OI pIOuuCGlOA VI oAJ G1OPs- fAo q ldCul O consequence they go on year after year actly the cost of raising bushel ot wheat, or a ton of hay, or pound o1 wool, they could soon decide where'thei1 profits lay and discard the crops which experience proved to bring them only a losF. TFa.7 .ra.-..--rf> !, o,,-s7 Trt-.-
 Now, to know the precise cost of any l farm DrOlnct it is as necessary that q farmer should keep accurate, accounts as for amerchant or mahufacturer. To nc class of business men is a practical knowledge of Bookkeeping more valu. able than to our farmers. Because many have succeeded without it in the past does not alter the case. A higher standard is before the farmers now Their produce must be of good quality thatssuceess now demands that capital be invested in good buildings, machi- nery, and improved kinds of grain, fruit and live stock. III tyr
 e4 They need to know theiexact returns 1 yielded by all such investments, whicl llcan be ascertained only from a complete and accurate system of accounts. Le f us impress upon young farmers, stock
 dealers and fruit-growers, the vast bene
 fit you would realize from course O.
 business training. Better give a year of your time now to this study-yor would be more than repaid for youl time and money in five years. Surely | it is time the leading industry of eul State and country was conducted on tho same principles that control less i'm l portant interests Commercial Journal
