Hoofiand's German IIItters.

During the warm season the nerves become
enfeepled and the whole system debilitated.
The stomach loses its power OF digestion, the
liver becomes congested and sluggish, causing
cru morbus and the prevalence Of more or

bilious or typhoid fevers, often of serious i'm
port. To avoid these consequences, take,
night and morning, a tablespoonful OF Hoof-

PLASTER AND CLovER.-Farmers must
inform themselves as to the necessity
of supplying nitrogen to their soils and
to their animals. Plants can not ma
ture without nitrogen. A full supply
will insure a paying crop. Animals
can not thrive without food containing
nitrogen. All the nitrogen supplied to
animals and plants is again returned
through their putrefaction and decay
in the form of ammonia. This volatile
substance floats over the earth in the
atmosphere, is condensed by the hydro
gen of water and descends to the farm,
whereas if converted to a salt it is
assimilated by cultivated plants. Gyp-
sum is the steady and certain agent that
will lay its invisible hand upon 1t and
fix it as a salt, in which form the nitro
gen is re-conveyed to the soil and to
plant most active in taking up ammo
mia of nitrogen and storing above and
below. AS a forage !. is invaluable.
AS a manurial plant it has but few
equals. Plaster is then a fertilizer
always to be within tue reach of the
c~ultivator of the soil. 1t should be
strewn over the floor of the stables,
over every animal and vegetable sub
stance in the process of putrefaction
and decay, over his fields, no matter
to what crop he devOtes them. If there
is any farmer who doubts the scientific
experiment of LiGbieg, my advice is for
such a one to purchase Liebieg's agri.

VALUABLE TREE WASH. - William
Saunders, of the government garden at
Washington, uses the following wash
for fruit trees: Put Ealf a bushel of
lime and four pounds of powdered sui
phur in a tight barrel, Stacking the
lime with hot water, the mouth OF the
barrel being covered with a cloth.
This is reduced to the consistency of
ordinary whitewash, and at the time of
application half an n of carboliG
acid added to each gallon of liquid
Mr.. Saunders says: l generally APP
piled it in the spring, before the leaves
make their appearance, but l am con-
WINGED that it would be more effective
if applied later. But then it is diff.
cult to do so when the tree is in foliage"

SHORT-SIGHTED On the day of an
eclipse, when the inhabitants of Vienna
were without doors, provided with tele-
scopes and pieces OF smoked glass, an
Englishman was seen driving f%uriously
in a fiacre along one of the principal
streets.
"Where does my lord wish to goP"
said the driver.
"To see the eclipse" exclaimed the
Englishman, thrusting his head out of
the coach. window; "only drive up as
near as possible, for | am shOrt-sighted."

AGRICULTURE.

NEATSEss IN II DAIRY.-Quality Is
always a measure of value; aud unless
perfect cleanliness iG observed, the
quality of butter or cheese cannot be Of
the hest. The dairyman or farmer may
not perceive any difference, but the eX-
pert buyer, or the fastidious consumer,
will instantly detect inferiority in ia
vOr, and hence be slow TO purchase.
Means for washing or brushing cows
are rarely seen In a stable, and still less
frequently Is opportunity offered for
cleansing the hands of mixers. So that
In the great majority of cases impuri-
ties invariably get into the pail, are dis
solved by the milk, and become abb
sorbed by the butter. DaiTymen admit
the value of cleanliness and skill, but
are not always aware of what consti'
tutes proper cleanliness. AS a blind
man has no conception of a brilliant
sunset, so some persons cannot under
stand what perfect cleanliness and pur-
ity are. We were never more impressed
with this fact than when visiting the
Echo Farm dairy at Litchteld, Ct.
There the stalls were Clearly sanded,
and without stain not a loose hair was
TO be found upon the cows; the stable
was spacious, airy, and we'll lighted;
the cows udders were scrupulOusly
clean /; the mixers hands were carefully
washed before milking, and even the
conversation of the hired men was
clean, foul language or noisy talk being
forbidden and avoided. The most scru-
pulous cleanliness was carried out In
the dairy, every utensil was pure and
bright, and the dairymaid who super
intended the butter-making was a pat
tern of feminine neatness. No one,
however fastidious or eXacting, could
object to the product of this dairy; and
there is no reason why the same
methods could not be observed any
where. A cottage can be kept as clean
as a palace, and a very ordinary dairy
can be made as clean as that of the Echo
Farm. We give herewith a few hints
as to how this clearly management may
be practiced: All ~droppings should be
removed out at least nee a day. The
litter should be short: sand, sawdust,
or earth, being better than straw. The
COWS should be cleaned, carded, and
brushed daily, and in the spring when
the coat is falling off, they should be
brushed before each milking. The sta
BILE should be well lighted, and kept
whitewashed and free from dust and
cobwebs. Before the milking, the I'D
ders should be brushed, wiped or
washed; if washed, they should be
thoroughly dried at once to avoid
cracking of the teats, and clear water
be used. We find a brush, or a sponge,
preferable to a cloth for this purpose.

Prot. Sdluddor CdlderOn thus explains
the impenetrable darkness of caverns,
which tOrchlight dispels only within a
very limited radius "The walls as we'll
as the floor and roof of caverns, are con-
tinually--covered with moisture, which
works without interruption IN condens-
ing the corpuscles that float around in
that circumscribed space. 1t thus per-
forms the same functions as the glycer-
inc doses which varnish the sides of the
crystal box by means of which Prof.
Tyndall obtains an optical vacuum, the
light dIIusing itself imperfectly from
want of those atoms which act as re-
lecting bodies" Prof. Calderon veri-
fed this hypothesis in his cavern
explorations. Scattering around the
torch very fine dust, he saw that the
brightness was regularly diffused so
long as the dust maintained itself in the
required state of %closeness and fiuctua-
ton and vanished slowly as the dust
spread or deposited itself.

as you fry them, and pour the fat oyer
them; If not enough, melt lard and
pour over them until entirely covered.
1t is best to have small pots, that will
hold enough for one or two meals then
you can warm them, and take the au-
sage out without breaking. Leave them
uncovered several days, until they are
perfectly cold, then tie them up tightly,
and keep in the cellar.

The Secretion Of SWeat.-The secretion
of sweat is now known to be, like that
of saliva, directly under the control Of
the nervous system, and to be excited
by secreting nerves, independently of
alterations in the vessels which supply
secreting glands. DR.. OFT and Mr..
Field, in the Journal Of Physiology, show
that the nerve centers, in connection
with the sweat glands, can be stimula-
ted by the poisonous principle of the
toadstool-muscarine-and a greater
amount of carbonic acid than usual in
the circulating blood will also excite
functional activity. This fact would
tend to explain the well known great
er tendency to perspire which people
observe when they are shut up in a
close room, a tendency which appears
TO be greater than can readily be ac-
counted for by the warmth of the room
alone.
