LET ALL BE FREE.

That staunch old journal, the Alexandra
.(Va) Gazette, thus pointedly expresses our
own views on the recent strike on the B. & O..
r. R:
"Justice and equity both accord the same
rights to associations of men as to individuals.
If . fireman or railroad, who iuds it necos-
s,ry to curtail his expenses in order to meet
his liabilities, has the right to reduce the
wages of his cook, and, if that cook will not
agree to accept tho reduction, to employ
another in her stead who will not only work
for the wages he offers, but be glad to get
them, then the railroad company in whose
service he is has the rig hit to reduce his wages,
and, if he will not accept them, to employ
another man in his place, and that right, as
we'll as the right of that other man, SO en-
ployed, to work for whatever wages he may
choose to receive, we should suppose would
not only be allowed in free country, but BIO
maintained, defended and enforced, if neces>
cary, by the whole power of the government.
No body denies the right of the strikers on
the B. g. o. R. r. to refuse to work for the
reduced wages that were offered them, and
10 walk about with their hands in their
pockets when every good citizen is doing all
he can to tide over the prevailing 'hard times
but every right-thinking man must condemn
them for refusing to allow men as worthy as
themselves from earning the money they re-
fuse"
There were some, doubtless, who felt dis,
posed to censure Governor Mathews for pre-
eipitancy in calling upon the President for aid
in suppressing the recent outbreak. But SUBJ
sequent events have fully demonstrated the
wisdom of his course. His promptness alone
has saved many lives and much property, to
say nothing of a threatened reign of terror,
which would soon have set oil authority at de-
fance, and reduced our State to condition
of civil war, and absolute anarchy. The
Governor, in strict compliance with every
constitutional requirement, called on the Gem
sral Government to suppress what was not so
much domestic Instruction, or local riot,
as it was an invasion of nom residents from
neighboring States. His action was prompt
ana decisive, ana merlts the commentator
of all good citizens.

Soap.

Every housewife who attends
to her domestic duties always has
homemade soap for washing pur.
poses, and as many of them find
much trouble in making this nee
essary article of home consump-
ton, we will tell them how to a.
void all difficulty in soap making
in the future. All that is neces.
sary to lay in supply of good soap
is to take a barrel, keg or stand,
that will not leak, place in it your
soap grease and pour over it 8
quantity of I've. Let it stand,
and stir it occasionally. II there
is too much grease for the lye you
have poured On, add more lye,
aud if there is too much lye, add
more grease. In the course of q
week or two you will have as fine
soap as you wish. No one need
be without soap who will follow
these instructions. 1t is time and
labor wasted to put on a pot and
boil lye to make soap. We know
what We are talking about, and
if any doubt it, all they have to
do to prove that we are correct, is
to try it.

How to Raise Turkeys

Turkey should not be bred in.

years, when change of males is
necessary. Hens about a year
old are best for breeding, hut they
often lay 40 or 80 eggs before set

move the eggs daily, leaving a
china egg in the nest. All that
are to be allowed to set, should
hatch by the FIRST of June. Ev.

weeks old should be gathered to
its fold before shutdown and shut
in. Learn them TO be gentle, so
that you can pick them up and

The disadvantages of wearing
false hair were painfully illustra-
ted at Millersville, Pa, the other
day. A boat in which to young
men were passengers, capsized
suddenly, and one OF two ladies
sank out of sight. AS she reap
peared, one of the men grasped
her hat, which came off. The
lady sank, and on her second ap'
pearance Jared no better, for this
time the frightened youth caught
her by her hair, which, icing
false, came of in his hands, and
down she went again. At last,
however, she was caught by her
real hair and dragged aboard the
boat, after having had what may

VALUE OF PouLTRY.-Lf farmer
who think poultry do not pay
would give their ieathered stock
to their sous and daughters, with
permission to own and enjoy any
profit that might accrue from
keeping them, they would soor
be convinced that "there is some
thing in it."
There certainly is no more
health. promoting exercise than
that afforded by caring for, oil
having the management of flock
81 poultry, and if the flock is one
of the pure breeds, there is, in
addition to the exhilaraling inhu-
epce, an enthusiasm that causes
what might otherwise be consid'
cred a task, TO become a pleasure
and therefore profit and pleas
ure are combined. A young Ia
dy 10 Bethel, Pa. during the
year of 1874, kept a strict &C.
count of all expenditures for feed,
etc, for her yard of fowls, and at
the regular market prices for eggs
aud chickens, and she cleared a.
bove all expenses, $500, besides
having more stock on hand than
she started with. Is not this an
Incentive sufficient to awaken an
interest among the numerous fair
readers of the farmer in favor OF
gallinacicus stock? 1t is certain
ly worthy of emulation.--Mary-
land Farmer.

TO the fact that it may be easily
restored to us good and perhaps a
better condition than that which
characterized il when entirely

proper management in the plan
we are now going to set forth will
make ii oil right, every time.
Place in a clean barrel, three
pounds OF fresh unsIacked lime
and pour over it twenty gallons
of pure cold water. Let II re-

hours without stirring TO give it a

this time pour or draw of the

muslin. Place into clean bar

butter.
Cut the butter in thin slices
as thin as you can cut it conven'
iently, and place it directly into
the lima water. Put in as much
water as will cover, then place o
yer it a clean, floating lid and
weight down sufficiently to pre-
vent any butter from being expos
ed to the air. Keep it in this
condition about iorty-eight hours
stirring three times q day with {
clean stick.
At the end of this time thc
butter will have lost it's rancid
condition, the lime having com
pletely neutralized the acid. The
solution should now be drawn
from the barrel, and its place sup

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the LEFT side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the Shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite ard sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There generally considerable loss
ofmemofy, accompanied with a pain
full sensation OF having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The PATIENT
complains of weariness ard debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of
pricklY sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; ard although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortilude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrl:ts every rem.

Singular Property Of To-
mato Leaves.

~ planted a peach orchard"
writes M. Siroy, Of the Society Of
Horticulture, Valparaiso, "and the
trees grew we'll and strongly.
They had just commenced to bud
when they were invaded by the
curculiO (pulgon) which insects
were followed, as frequently hap.
pens, by ants. Having cut some
tomatoes, the idea occurred to me
that by placing some of the leaves
around the trunks and branches
of peach trees, | might preserve
them from the rays OF the cum,
which was very powerful. My
surprise was great upon the fol-
lowing day to find the trees entire
ly freed from their enemies; not one
remained; except here and there,
where a curled leaf prevented the
tomato from exercising Its infiu-
ence. These leaves l carefully
unroIled, placing upon them fresh
ones IRON the tomato vine, with
result Of banishing the last insect
and enabling the trees to grow
with luxuriance. Wishing to car.
ry still further my experiment, /
STEPPED in water some fresh leaves
of the tomato, and sprinkled with
this infusion other plants, roses
and oranges. In two days these
were also free from the innumera.
BILE insectswbich covered them, and
felt sure that, had ! used the same
means with my melon patch, l
should have met with the result.
| therefore deem it a duty I owe
to the Society of Horticulture to
make known this singular and
useful property Of tomato leaves. "
