USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

As THE season for colds and sore
Threats is at hand, we give a popular
cure. We do not recommend it as in
fallible: A few spoonfuls of vinegar
with enough water to make it weak
enough to be swallowed, adding a
Bit of alum, a "pinch" of salt, and
a "dust'' of pepper. The ingredients
are Away at hand, it is easily mixed,
palatable, safe and simple, and will
usually prove all that is needed in sore
throat from a cold.-IosUa State Req
iSter.
MAKING SAUER-KRAUT.-In the first
place, let your " stand" holding from
half-barrel to barrel, be thoroughly
scalded out; the cutter, the tub and the
stamper also well scalded. Take off all
the outer leaves of the cabbages, halve
them, remove the heart, and proceed
leaves at the bottom of the stand, sprin-
kle with handful of salt, fill in half
bushel of cut cabbage, stamp gently,
until the juice just makes its appear
ance, then add another handful of salt
and so ON until the stand is full. Cover
over with cabbage-leaves. place on top
a clean board fitting the space pretty
well, and on top of that stone weigh
ing twelve or fifteen pounds. Stand
away in cool place, and when hard
freezing comes on remove to the cellar.
1t will be ready for use in from four to
six weeks. The cabbage should be cut
tolerably coarse. The Savoy variety
makes the best article, but it is only
half as productive as the Drumhead and
Flat h.-GernaGntOaCn Ielegraph.
1vY-BEGIN NOw.-When we see a
window furnished with the most beau
tiful of all screens, living one of ivy,
or room in which the vine is made
to run upon cornices or surround the
picture frames, if we do not envy the
possessor, we feel strong wish that
we had something like it. Recollect
that all this luxuriance had a begin
ming; this vine, the total length of
which measures yards, was once but
a few inches long. A small cutting, a
little care and time. These were all
the outlay required for this treasure
of verdure-and all these are within
the reach of every one. Time, indeed,
is the chief element; but after fair
start has been made, less is required
than one would suppose. Make be-
ginning; if with rooted plant, all the
better; if only cutting or I" Slip can
be had, start with that, for it will take
root with the greatest ease. When
growing, give it fairly rich soil; wa
ter as needed, and-especially this
remove the dust from the leaves as Of
ten as it accumulates, by the use of a
sponge and warm water, and in time
the reward will come. .-Am. Agrscal-

NOVEMBER is the month of all for
making pork. The potatoes have been
dug. The corn is ready to be used in
feeding. The temperature of the wealth
er is generally the most favorable, and
all that is needed is the most careful
and painstaking attention to secure the
best results.
Hogs should have all they will eat
no more, no less. They must be fed
with the utmost regularity; they should
have a bed wherein human being
could sleep with comfort, and if the
pen has an exposure to the southern
sun, it will add more than most think
to the general increase in avoirdupois.
Give them variety in food at the begin
ming of the month. but as the days go
on put in less potatoes and more corn;
and during the last week of their lives
give them the latter altogether; and the
consistency and flavor Of the product
will be as good as it can be.
Not few farmers feed corn in the
ear, and some raw potatoes. One-half
would probably be an under estimate
of the loss by this easiest but most
slovenly and costly practice. A larger
number mix dry meal with cold water
or Stops, and Immediately feed the
mixture to their hogs. The loss is less
than when grain is fed dry and whole,
but in this case it is very considerable.
Still others cook their meal with pota-
toes or pumpkins, making the con-
glomerate into thick mush. This is
a good way, but not the best.
For several years we have adopted
this plan: To one bushel of potatoes,
if we have them, or its equivalent, we
add half a bushel of corn in the kernel,
and then with liberal supply of water
in kettle almost steam tight, we slow
ly cook for two hours. The kernels
are then swelled to their utmost; the
potatoes are paste, and little manipu-
latiOn makes mixture that is not only
very acceptable to the animals, but
which contains all the fattening prop
critics in a condition to be the most read
lily assimilated.
As to beef, the most successful mode
we have ever tried was to fasten the
animal to be fattened by the horns to
a stake in a stable, keeping it well
bedded and never taking it out until il
was sold to the butcher or slaughtered
for family use. All expenditure o1
muscular force takes from the supply
which the food constantly gives; and
the net increase is lessened, and SO the
quieter you can keep the animal the bet.
ter. All they will eat and the best you
can give them is the cheapest in the
long run.-G0IClen Rule.

To PRESERVE apples nothing more is
necessary than to lay them in bulk up
on dry floor, and throw a thin linen
cloth over them before the frost sets in.
This is the method practiced in North

ever, that no spoiled or bruised fruit is
laid down, as it will soon corrupt and
destroy that which is sound. Erchamqe.

Justly claims for it . superiority over all rem.
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth.
or OF short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cureif
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for . cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with aper-
tectrestoration Of the general health. It is,
aowever, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If it, use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic. single dose Of

be sufficient.

A RAT of boy who had in vain

window, yesterday took his position
before chestnut stand ON GriswOld

and the odor of the roasting nuts finally
induced the boy to inquire:
care chestnuts healthy?''
ono, bub-they are prolific of indi-
gestion." was the reply.
After awhile the boy thought it was
time to remark:
"Did you ever hear the story of the
man who gave a poor boy handful of
chestnuts, and when the boy grew up
and got rich he rewarded the old man
with diamond pin and four-horse
team?'
mo, never did, but 1 heard of the
man who brought poor boy to the
edge OF the grave by giving him dozen
The lad took turn up and down,
secured another strong sniff of the
pleasant odor, and then leaned over
and whispered:

chances on the chestnuts?''
The vender finally thought he would.

of his business. If he keeps no account ofS
the expenses of production, he does not
know whether any crop is produced at a

when the grass is fresh and tender
there does not appear to be the amount OF
solid matter in it as in the tall months. The
same cows give considerable mere milk in
fall season. than in the summer and spring
months.
A few butter makers claim that cows can
be aided to considerable extent in the pro-
duction of, milk by feeding. Three pints of
wheat bran mixed in gallon of water, and
given to each cow at sundown every day is
said to greatly improve the milk. 1t is
claimed that the bran and water aids the
cow in digesting the food. That COWS need
plenty of water regular there is no question,
but that bran will increase the yield here
where feed is plentiful remains to be more
fully tested. In the spring when the cows are
weak and the grasses very green bran
would, no doubt, give strength and in this
way aid themin their yield Of milk, but the
tender grass is easily digested and can not
see that the. bran could materially aid in
that. In the fall when the grass feedis
pretty we'll dried up, wouldappear to be"the
most suitable time to aid in the food diges-
ition. At this season, however, the bran
strength is not needed, since it is generally
conceded that our matured grasses are as
rs any feed to be had.
Much depends upon the management OF
COWS. If they have plenty of feed and
water and are milked regular anakindly
treated they will give more and better milk
than if not we'll treated. Like any other
business making butter needs good manage
ment to bring good results. And the good
management of batter cows should begin as
have before intimated, at least as early as
the day Of the birth of their first calf.

SYSTEM IN FARMING.

/. The best and most successful farmer is he
who understands his business, and reduces
his knowledge to a practical system, which
may be- readily taught and easily under
stood. But although men have been acquir-
ing knowledge of the soil and its produc-
ton for ages, yet their modes of practice are
nearly as wide of a uniform system as ever.
Where we find one who recognizes and con-
forms to the Fundamental principles Of
agricultural science, we find multitudes
who scout the.idea of any other authority
than their own practice, handed down from
their ancestors. But we find that there are
causes operating strongly against such a
cause and by slow degrees better and
more intelligent course is being adopted.
|'lhe invention and Introduction of labor
saving machinery is operating rapidly in
this direction; this and the diffusion OF
knowledge through agricultural journals,
have tended to break up, inansasure, old
and empirical practices. The use of improy-
cd implements will necessarily improve our
methods of culture, producing as more gen
eral IN formity, which eon soils of ealal fer
tilty will lead to similar results. Nature
rewards the agricultnrist precisely i'll pro-
portion to the efforts he puts forth to merit
her favor. Il he puts the soil in a mechani-
cal condition favorable to the circulation OF
air among its,particles, the effectset drought
are less felt, and thesoil is i'll better condi-
| ton to ilnpart the nourislment held therein
to growing crops.
| There ares still other things than the pri-
mary preparation of the soil, which render
system in farming important. He who care
fully lays out. his farm in proper fields.
making map OF the same; ueyoting each
field to succession OF crops, with suitable
manuring; ;basing the rotation upon the
adabtation of one crop to fit particular soils
and pursuing all his operations with plan
doing everything just ut the right time. and
with determination to make experience
and the lights of science as available as pos

the most abundant reward of his labor. Te

AGRIC i IT i RAJ.

no have is quite uncertain at this writing.
The impression generally prevails that we
will have considerable rain; this conclusion
being arrived at by those who argue that
we are destined to have d certain amount of
precipitation in a year,, and if it does not
come in the shape of snow it will come as
rain. But this cannot be set down as rule,
for our most scasonable springs often fol-
low Immediately after wintcrs Of heavy falls
OF snow, and winters of light snow falls are
followed by dry summers. Hence we are
able to draw no definite conclusion of what
is in store. The safest plan is to be prepar-
cd for either. The coming spring, notwith-
standing the many pnphicies to the contra
ny, is liable to be dry land we think it highly
important that our farmers look to this in
time. Water bitches should be enlarged
and put in tirst-class shape during this fine

ing forms slight crust that has Il tenden-

ground may be thoroughly irrigated before
plowing. This is also commendable of sea-
sons when there is a probability Of water
being sc,.ce. Ii the ground be thoroughly

Water during the growing season. Another
advantage to be gained is, the ground being
