"The nineteenth century is the age Of
novels" remarks a literary hstorian,-he
might have added with equal truth, "and
novel impositions." Studied politeness has
been passed off on us for native refinement,
the forms of devotion for its essence, and
speculation for science, until we look as
kance at every new person or thing, and TO
an assertion of merit invariably exclaim,
Prove it" In brief, Satan has made him
self so ominpresent, that we look for his
eloyen foot everywhere-eyen IN bottle OF
medicine. Imagine lady, having com
pleXion so sallow that you would deny her
claims to the Caucasian type if her features
did not conform to it, purchasing her first
bottle of the Golden Medical Discovery.
The one dollar is paid in the very identical
manner in which Mr.. Taylor might be ex-
pected to purchase lottery ticket after his
experience with "No. 104, 163,' with this
difference his doubt would be the result of
personal experience, while hers would be
founded on what certain practitioner
who has been q whole year trying to correct
her refractory liver) has said concerning it.
At home, she examines the bottle half sus-
piciously, tastes Of its contents carefully
takes the prescribed dose more carefully,
and then proceeds to watch the result with
as much anxiety as practitioner would
count the pulse-beats of a dying man. She
takes another dose, and another, and shows
the bottle to her friends telling them She
q feels better" Her skin loses its bilious
tint, her eyes regain their Iustre, her ac-
customed energy returns, and the fact that
she purchases another bottle is assure witness
that she has fonnd the Golden Medical Dis
covery to be reliable remedy for the dis
ease Indicated. The lady wisely resolves
that in future her estimate of any medicine
will be based upon personal kROariedge OF its
effects, and not upon what some practitioner
(who always make long bills rhyme with
pills. may say of it. DR.. Pierce is in receipt
OF letters from hundreds of the largest whole
sale and retail druggists in the United States
stating thataat the present time there is a
greater demand for the Golden Medical Dis
eoyery and Prgatiyee Pellets than ever be
fore.ss In affections OF the liver and blood
they are unsurpassed

seed-sta1ks of Rhuharb.

The varieties of rhubarb generally cul-
tivated in gardens are propagated by
divisions of the roots, for this is the only
certain method of keeping the sorts pure.
When raised from seed, new sorts are
produced, but these are far more likely
to revert to some of the old, small
varieties, rather than to prove larger and
better than those from which the seeds
were gathered.
Many hundreds and thousands, nay,
we may even say millions of seedlings,
have been raised by gardeners, in the hope
producing something better than the
varieties now known, but without secur-
ing such prize. This surely shows how
few are the chances of improvement
with this plant, and that the sorts we
now have are about as good as we are
likely to obtain for some time to come,
although there is, of course, bare pos
sibility of such thing being secured.
Presuming that most of our readers
have the best varieties in cultivation
such as the Victoria, Linnaan and Colos-
sal, and that they do not care to raise
seedlings therefrom, we would recon-
mend the cutting away of flower stalk.
as soon as they appear, in order thereby
to avoid useless exhaustion of the roots
in producing seed. The formation of
seed on such plants exhausts the strength
of the roots, but that of leaves strengthens
them; hence our advice to remove the
seed stems early, and as often as they
appear.
There are many of our biennials which
may be kept alive, or, in other words,
changed to perennials, if no seeds are
permitted to form on them, for the per-
lection of seeds seems to be the aim of
Nature in the ANNALS and bennials, and
when this is accomplished the plant dies.

FARM AND HOME.
Eggs in Salt.

Eggs in Salt.
Now that eggs are plenty and cheap it
is economy for families to preserve few
dozen for future use. As to the best
plan for so doing valued contributor
writes as follows:
Among all the discoveries of the pres
ent country there is nothing new in. pre-
serving eggs. The old method of pack
ing them on their small ends in vessel
and then filling it with lime water is
still practiced. The lime water should
be sailed, as quart of salt to a pailful
of lime water, whichis made by Stacking
some lime, then add water enough to
it have sufficiently thin to run among the
eggs freely, and when it has settled turn
Of. the clear liquid, add the salt, and it
is ready for use. Eggs preserved in this
way six months or longer are not as good
as fresh eggs, and there is no way to keep
them that time and be as good as those
that are freshly laid. But better way
for preserving eggs in small quantities,
as for family use, is to take fine salt and
pack the eggs in it in layers, the small
ends down, filing up the spaces between
the eggs with salt. Keep the vessel in a
dry place, or the salt will become moist.
Eggs may be thus kept six to nine
months, and they will be as good as it
is possible for them to be by any known
preservation

Household Recipes.

TRIFLEs.-Take small sponge cakes,
moisten with sherry wine; serve with
soft custard
CUP CAKE.-Three cupfuls flour, one
and half cupfuls sugar, one cupful but
ter, one cupful milk, one teaspoonful
cream tartar, half a teaspoonful soda.
GREASE IN CARPETs.-To remove
grease spots from hemp carpets use a So
luton of borax, one pound to one gallon
of warm water.
POTATO CRUST FOR MEAT PIE.-One
teacupful cream to six good-sized rota-
toes boiled and smashed fine; add salt
and flour enough to roll; handle as little
as possible.
= To CLEAN .CoLoRED SILK.-Wash in
warm soap-suds, rinse in clear,
warm water, dry quickly, and iron on
the wrong side while yet rather damp;
if there are any grease spots on the silk,
press with tolerably warm iron under
brown paper.
YEAST CAKEs.-The proper way for
drying them Is in the shade with cool
wind; drying in the sum sours them and
destroyes the life.
g HUcKLEBERRY BREAD-One quart
flour, one pint sour milk, one table
spoonful soda, one and a half pint ber-
ries; mix as stiff as biscuit dough.
CURE FOR ~SPRAIN.-Take one table
spoonful of honey, the same of salt, and
the white of one egg: beat all well to-
gether for at least one hour-or two
would be better. Let it stand an hour
Then anaoint the sprained place freely;
keep well rolled up with good bandage

i. Pulverized borax well showed in all
the cracks and seams; if necessary,
sprinkle all over the furniture; it will
not discolor or injure insany way the
furniture or carpet. 2. Use strong alum
water, spirits of turpentine, aud common
salt or camphene.

begin on the salt and probably not end
till she gets to the bottom. Do not add
too much milk at first, and gradually in
crease the milk and decrease the meal.
Finally pour the meal on top of the milk,
emitting the potatoes. 1t usually takes
about six feeds to teach the most obsti-
nate COW; most of them will take to it
after .he third or fourth feed. Skim
milk will probably give a larger return
to the dairyman when fed to cows than
if fed to pigs, calves, or made into skim
milk cheese. We often see itstated that
one man generally an Irishman, because
he loves them can get twice the weight
out of pigs ON given amount of feed
than any other man. This fact holds
doubly good in feeding cows. One may
waste his whole substance In attempting
to force his COWS and accomplish but lit
tie with them, while another with half
the food fed to the cow with loving and
sympathetic hand will accomplish won
ders with her. There is so much in know
ing not only what a COW needs, but
when she wantsit. The dairyman should
be able by simply looking at his COW to
tell which one needs oil meal and which
bran-the two feeds having almost oppo-
site results in their effects upon the COW.
One of the most vital claims upon the
dairy is the water supply. Every dairy
man is willing to admit theoretically that
cows should have pure water, and that
filthy water will injure the milk, and
then Immediately turn his cows into a
stable lot where there is filthy pool in
the corner composed of equal parts of
manure and water, at which the cows
will take the wire-edge off their thirst
one or more times day. 1t is simply
astonishing how much filthy water cow
can drink without injuring her milk !;
but if she is allowed to keep up the prac-
tice the dairyman will have to pay for it
in the end. Water should not only be as
clean and pure as possible, but it should
be accessible to the cow.
A sdairyman once showed me two
pastures of equal merits SO far as growth
of grass was concerned. One had a small
stream of water running through the
centre of it. The other was watered by
a fine spring starting near where the
pasture bordered on neighbours land.
The cows always did well when feeding
on the pasture with the stream running
through it. When turned upon the
other pasture one or two of the. "boss'
cows would take possession of the spring
during the hot part of the day and the
other cows would have to go a begging.
The result was that no matter how good
the pasture was the cows would shrink a
third in their milk. He preferred the
we'll watered pasture with but little
grass in it to the other with a full growth
of grass-Pr0cticat Farmer.
