SALTINa SToCK.-Onc of the most
important things to attend to in the
care of farm stock of every kind, is that
they have access at all times to salt.
In this connection we would again call
attention TO the practice In vogue with
many farmers, in that they salt ire
gularly, and at such times with too IL
beral hand Thus animals will gorge
themselves, and this often results in
severe purging. Again, when salt is
thrown about on tho ground to be licked
up, the larger animals get moro than
they should, and the smaller ones little
or none. Besides, INJURY to weak ami
mails is often the result OF this strug-
gle. The proper way TO salt stock Is
to have salt placed under cover, whore
they may get It every day ifthey wish.
In this way they take just what they
want and no more, and while eating
what is necessary for them, they never
take enough to do them injury. Thus
cattle will seldom take moro than an
ordinary tablespoonful per day, and
thts Is about what they require in sum-
mer as an aid to proper Digestion.

FIRST RATE CoFFEE.--Takc coffee cup
of tho best Java coffee, Drowned to the
color OF chocolate (not scorched) ground
not too fine and mixlwith half an ogg.
Put this into a co1fee-pot or boiler
(Which is rs clean as the cup you drink
from), and pour oyer it one quart of
boiling water, stirring as you put tho
water in; boil slowly for 15 minutes,
then stand the boiler on the back Of
the range, tor ten minutes to settle ;
turn all coffee off from the grounds ut
once into an urn or coffcc-pot that can
stand upon the stove to keep hot. Cof-
fec loses the flavor by standing on the
grounds longer than hall an hour, and
should be worry hot to be good. Put
into the cup a tcaspocnful Of "Amcri-
can condensed milk" and some boiled
milk, and turn the coffee into It. No
French coffee is any better.

ILL HEALTH ON THE FARM.-In tho
first place, all farmers should look we'll
TO their collars. In too many of them
Will be found rotten apples, cabbages,
turnips, onions, &c. In somo will be
found old brine, with pieces of decay
cd meat, sending forth an odor, when
the cover of the barrel is taken Oft, vile
enough to wrench tho stomach Of q pig.
In others there will be musty cider bar
rels, possibly vinegar casks, In which
the vinegar has passed on to the pictrc-
nctivo stage, disseminating tho spores
OF decay and death, not only through
the upper part Of the house, but even
escaping through tho cellar windows
and polluting the outdoor air. Decay
ing wood generates one Of tho most sub
tic Of poisons, because the odor is not
particularly offensive. Rotten tlmbcrs
In the collar and mOuldy wood or chips
In the woodhouse fill the air with spores
which Dreatheu by Il person In the full
yigor OF health may be thrown off with
lmpunity but inhaled by one whose
blood Is low may find a congcnial seed
bed and generate disease. Under the
cider and vinegar barrels, and potato
bins, may be found old limbcrs and
boards that are full Of dry rot, ready to
propagate itsolt wherever tho rotten
particles may find u lodgmcnt. In the
well, rotten wood is n subtle poison,
more dangerous than accomplishing
toad, as the latter makes it's presence
known, while few tastes arc so keen as
to detect the presence ofdccaying wood.
Probably tho most prolific source Of di-
scasc around the farmhouse is the cess
pool into which pass the kitchen and
chamber slips. In the cities and large
villages these are carried Off in the
sewers, but seldom docs n farmhouse
have any system of sewerage. The
slops arc too often thrown out of the
kitchon door, and left to generate vile
0dors on the surface OF tho ground. 10
keep tho air OF the cellar and around the
house sweet and pure, we have never
found anything more economical, pleas
ant and elllcacious than FREQ sprink-
ling, us occasion may demand, OF dry
alr-slackcd lime. Chloride of limo is Il
greater absorbent ofvile odors, but this
is Itself offensive to most olfactory
nerves, and is also quite expensive.
Common limo is cheap, and if scattered
freely in the cellar and wherever there
are Impurities, will render the ulr sweet
and wholesome, ,cvcn III The most dccom-
posing dog-days.

see about it, and We extract from bis
letter in the Journal:
Leadville or the old "California
Gulch," is just now the objective
pOiut for every fortune hunter.
A fraud, a snare, and q delusion-
that is Leadville. Not but what there
are some rich quartz mines there, but
IL takes a small fortune to open and
work even a small quartz lode. There
is fortune for a lucky few who have
possession of all the claims that are
worth anything; but the great mass of
people who go there, and who have
gone there, will never see the inside
of silver mins, unless they go to
work for days wages, and are there
by enabled to. aara their living.
1t costs about two. dollars and half
"a day for very common board, and
plenty of men are willing to work for
their board, if they can only get job.
This does not include coffee for each
meal, as that costs fifteen cents extra.
Neither does it include hot cakes, for
they cost twenty-five cents extra. A
beef steak is out of the question, as
that is seventy-five cents extra.
We have met hundreds of men go
ing to Leadville. We have met hun
dreds coming back.
They went out with bright, hopeful
faces, with money in their pockets,
with blankets, provisions. carpet
sacks and revolvers. They came back
discouraged, moneyless. provisions
gone, carpet-sacks gone, blankets. |
gone. revolvers gone, and in many
cases their overcoats sold for food.

A PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE.
To Help the Poor COlOred People Who
are Now Fleeing From the
Scenes of Their Woes
and Misery.

ST. LOUIS, April IA number OF
prominent colored gentlemen who
have been most active in relieving
while here and assisting to their des-
tination colored emigrants from the
south, issued this afternoon the fol-
lowing appeal for aid:
To all generous and,eharitable peo.
pie throughout the country: For
three weeks there has-been daily land
ed at our wharfs scores and sometimes
hundreds of colored refugees from the
south fleeing from a second slavery.
Their accounts of oppression and in
human treatment by white leaguers
and planters are terrible. Their
struggle TO make their way to the free
west should receive the attention OF
liberty loving men and women every.
where, and we appeal to all such for
means to assist them in finding new
homes. ColOred people of this city
have not encouraged them to come,
transportation companies have Offered
them no inducements to emigrate, but
according to their own testimony they
have started for Kansas because they
heard they would be free there and be-
cause it was impossible for them to live
longer at their old homes. These ref
ugees at the best have but slender
means, large proportion of them are
destitute when they reach here, hav-
ing spent all their money for passage
to this point, and are thus dependen
upon others to reach their destination.
The colored people of this city are do
ing all In their power to keep them.
So far they have fed and sheltered
them while here. and forwarded sew
eral hundred to Kansas. but still they
come and we are compelled to appeal
to generous and benevolent peo-
pie everywhere to aid US in our work.
We need both money and clothing.
In the name of God and humanity we
ask help for refugees. Any contribu-
ton sent to the following persons will
be most thankfully received and ac-
knowledged:
