+" The Conflict Of Ages.''

Men differ on nearly every issue.
There have always been opposite parties in
politics and religion, though the measure
fought over one day may be universally
adopted at another and those sacrificed re-
garded as heroes and martyrs. Medicine has
also been subject to revolutionary disturb
ances. When Drs. Harvey and Jenner an
nounced their discoveries, they were held in
contempt and ridicule by an incredulous
and ignorant puclic, yet to-day they are re-
ceived and honored by all as benefactors.
When DR.. Pierce announced his Discovery,
many seemed to doubt, and were sl1eptical
concerning all medicines and doctors, but
proof OF merit has dispelled all doubt, and
to-day the Golden Medical Discovery is the
standard remedy IN curing the most obsti-
nate diseases of the liver and blood, having
almost entirely superseded the old-tlme sar-
saparilias by reason Of It's superior merits.

NOnlan'S Curiosity.

Woman as g rule is not given to curl
osity, but it now and then that she be-
comes interested in trial, and when
that is the case she will make almost any
exertion to satisfy her curiosity. While
the Rev. McGhee was on trial recently
at Dixon, Illinois, for poisoning his wife,
the ladies coWded the courtroom. On
one occasion several Of them who came
late and had found seats with difficulty,
remained behind when court adjourned
for the night and proclaimed their inten-
ton of staying through the night, so as
to be sure of seats in the morning. AT
the same time they produced sundry
blankets which they had brought to
make themselves comfortable withal.
By order of the indignant judge they
were turned out and their bedding
pitched out of a window; but the next
morning when court opened they were
all found inside. They had climbed up
a thirty foot ladder and entered at a
window during the night. That day
they heard all there was to hear.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Raising Tomatoes.

Burr tells Us that the French mode of
raising tomatoes is as follows: As soon
as cluster of flowers is visible, they top
the stem down to the cluster, so that the
flowers terminate the stem. The effect
is that the sap is Immediately impelled
into the two buds next below the clus-
ter, which soon push strongly and pro-
duce another cluster of flowers each
When these are visible the branch to
which they belong is also topped down to
the level; and this is done five times sue
cessively. BY this means the plants be-
come stout bushes not over eighteen
inches high. In order to prevent their
falling over, sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows SO
as to keep the plants erect. In addition
to this, all laterals that have no flowers,
and, after the fifth topping, all laterals
whatever are nipped of: In this way
the ripe sap is directed into the fruit,
which acquires a beauty, size and excel
lence unattainable by other MEANS

Potato Shoots for Seeds.

Considering the vast Importance OF the
potato crop in this country, and its adapt
ability to so much of our area, expert
ments in its culture are Important,
especially when they develop economy.
early maturity, and large crops. 1t is to
be hoped that the time is not far distant
when some of our State and Government
agricultural institutions will be able to
devote some consideration to subjects of
like practical Importance. At present,
however, we must depend largely upon
European experience.
In Switzerland the Government man
ager of nurseries communicates the result
of his last experiment respecting the
potato Last spring he had arrived at
the conclusion that the shoots or germs
should be used as seed instead of the
tuber. He therefore planted a field with
potato shoots, two to seven inches long,
leaving about one inch above the ground,
adhering in other respects to the old
mode of cultivation. Though the season
was, for that section, a late one, the
planting taking place at the end of May,
yet ripening so much earlier than if
planted by the old method, within sixty
days of planting he was enabled to put
in the same ground second crop, which
also came to maturity, producing excel
lent potatoes.
The shoots should be taken off at the
eye, and not broken or bruised; the pota-
toes from which they are to be taken
should be exposed to the air and moder-
ate light; no germs should be taken off
previously, second shoots being useless.
They should be planted with a dibble,
after ploughing or digging, about the
middle of May, or when night frosts are
no longer to be feared. The planting re-
quires 40 particular care beyond avoiding
breaking the shoots. The experimental
claims that in addition to accelerating
the growth, permitting of two crops in
one season from the same ground, the
potato deprived of its shoots is still avail
able as food, while the cost of seed is
greatly reduced, potatoes averaging above
ten shoots, and one only being required
for each plant.
This can easily be tried by all on
small plot OF ground, and the result
noted by individuals would govern their
future action in the premises, and add to
the stock of public information on potato
culture.-4mer5can Caltivator.

Salt for Cabbages.

Always remember that the cabbage
was originally marine plant. Salt is
necessary to its development, especially
in places far from the coast. It makes
them more crisp, of better flavor, and to
keep better when salt is used than with
out. A New Jersey gardener gives the
following as the best method of applying
it:
"a few days after setting out the
plants, and when they are damp, either
after rain or when the due is on, [ take
a small dish of fine salt, and walking
among TIE rows, sprinkle a pinch of salt
on the center Of each plant. When the
leaves begin to grow | repeat the sailing,
and when the center of the leaves begin
to form the head [ apply salt again, scat
tering it over the leaves. After this |
look them over occasionally, and if [ find
plants that do not head well or appear
diseased, sprinkle the salt over freely.
This will save all such plants. A quart
Of salt is sufficient for five hundred plants
in season, although more can be used
with safety"

Turnips Declared q Sure Cure for Hog
Cholera.

Major John Million, well-known
citizen of Laplata. Macon county, Mis-
souri, has great faith in turnip s as a sure
cure for the disease known as hog
cholera So great is his faith that he
has filed q claim with the state govern
ment for the $4,000 reward offered by
the legislature for a remedy for that dis
ease. Major Million was a commissioner
in the Confederate army. While acting
in that capacity he had charge at one
time Of many thousand head of hogs,
which were collected together in Missis-
sippi when the cholera broke out among
them. Immediately upon discovering
the prevalence of the disease he says he
began to exert himself to save as many
as possible, keeping the infected ones
apart He had on hand, also, large
quantities Of turnips, which he began to
fed the hogs Very soon he observed a
marked improvement, and then he made
numerous experiments. He selected
some of the diseased hogs and penned
them apart. They were FED on turnips
and nothing else, and all Of them recov-
strated the fact that turnips are not
only a cure, but a preventive Of
cholera. He has impaired the secret to
many farmers ii this state, all of whom
found the remedy sure Major Million
states that unless the hog is too far gone
to eat, the turnips will cure him. The
remedy is a cheap one and easily pro-
cured, and it can certainly do no harm
for farmers to give it a trial-Haonibay

Where and How Churn.

According to the Scientific Farmer:
fChurning cream to make good butter IS
not SO simple a process as some may
think It must be churned at the
proper time and at the proper tempera-
ture and the churn should be stopped
as soon as the cream has broken, but be-
fore the butter has gathered in large
balls. In warm weather it is of great
importance to watch the process closely,
and to notice lust when this change is to
take place. At this time add enough
cold water mot ice) to reduce the tenn
perature Of the mass to about ffty-six
or fifty-eight degrees, and then complete
the churning, which will be as soon as
the butter is in a GRADUATED form, with
particles about the size of peas. Then
draw off the butternilk and dish il cold
water, repeating the washing until the
water drawn off appears clear. Now,
take out layer Of butter into the tray,
and sprinkle on finely sifted salt, at the
rate OF about an ounce Of salt to the
pound (more or less, as consumers may
wish). Then take out another LAYER Of
butter and salt as before. After the
butter is salted, set it away for about
three hours for it " to take salt" and
harden the grain" Now work it a
little with wooden paddle, and
set it away again until the next day,
when it will need but little working be-
fore preparing it for market. By hand
ling in this way you will get a clean,
brightarticle, with perfect or unbroken
grain, which will keep sweet whether
consumed Immediately or packed down
for future marketing. If the butter is
soft and white, it is from lack of
proper cooling before churning and it
may be hardened by putting in about
three times the usual amount CT salt,
and working it little for two or three
mornings" Many of our very best
dairymen and buttermakers of Philadel-
phia, gilt edged butter, from two to
three ounces of salt to five pounds of
