HINTs.-If farmers families would eat
less pork and more eggs and chicken meat
they would be healthier.
Save your early p%ullets; they give the
increase. 1t don't pay to keep a stock of
old hens year after year.
Keep charcoal where the fowls can get it
whenever they want it. 1t is one of the
best preventives of disease among fowls
that | know of.
About this time look out for hen hawks.
Don't trust to any such device as traps on
top of poles; a good marksman with a
shot gun or rifle will do more towards ex-
terminating hawks than all the traps in
creation.
Now that the mcrcuries is well up to-
wards the nineties, look out for the spider
louise or red mite. They are nocturnal
wretches, hiding on the under side Of the
roosts and in cracks through the day, and
creeping out at night to suck the blood
of both old and young fowls. Liberal
doses of coal oil on the perches and in all
cracks and cr~evises, and a thorough fumi-
CATION with sulphur is the remedy.
TIL variation in weight Of eggs per
dozen is from three to five ounces. This
shows that eggs should be bought and sold
by weight.
1t has been decided bv those who ought
to know about such things, that 300 pounds
of Peruvian guano is sufficient for an acre
Of corn land. The manure Of so fowls
in one year, mixed with four times tia bulk
Of swamp muck or dry earth even. is every
whit as valuable as three hundred weight
OF the best Peruvian guano. In the Eas-
TEN States where every particle of manure
from fifty fowls in two years would pay for
a nice hen~house large enough to accommo-
date a flock of that size.

To REMOVE FLESH WORMS From THE
FACE.-Take a large-sized watch key, place
the stem directly over The black spot, and
press firmly on 1t.
lNsoMNIA.-To procure sleep, take brom-
ide CT potassium. Furnished by chemists.
To CURE CoRNs.-AppIy, morning and
evening, one drop Of solution of perchlorlde
ofiron
TO ALLAY CRAWLING OF THE FLESH OR
NERvoUsNEss.-Put a tablespoonful OF bl-
carbonate Of soda-ordinary cooking soda
III one quart of water. Battle the entire
person.
STINGs AND BITEs.-Carbonate OF soda
wet and applied externally to the bite of a
spider, or any venomous creature, will neu-
tralize the poisonous effect almost instantly.
1t acts like a charm in the case of snake
bite.
TooTHACHE.-For toothache, take equal
parts Of camphor, sulphuric ether, ammonia,
laudanum, ~tincture of cayenne and one
eighth part of oil of cloves. Mix we'll to-
gether Saturate with the liquid a small
piece Of cotton, and apply to the cavity OF
the decayed tooth.
For CHOLERA INFANTUM.-The whites OF
two eggs, we'll beaten then mix with pure
water, add one teaspoonful Of orange flour
water and a little sugar; a tablespoonful
every hour. 1t will cure the worst case OF
cholera infantum, the eggs coating the
bowels.

AN EYE TO BUsINEss.-The scene was
bcreabouts; the characters a rich young
merchant and a pretty woman. tie had an
affection for her: she a liking tor hlm, SO
they become betrothed. After awhile she
found out that she didn't love him we'll
enough to marry him, and the match was
broken off. Tt was a severe blow, and he
staggered under it; but he fought we'll for
himself. protested that his life was ruined,
asked if she could not learn to love him,
and in all ways did the proper thlng. She
was immovable. however. and he sadly and
reluctantly took his leave. While his eyes
were full of gathering tears he babe his
f4lterinc farewelIs, then closed the door
upon his hopes. \ moment later he opened
if. stepped back into the room, and with
tears in his ewes, brokenly murdered: Il
hope tets will make no difference about
your coming to the store, Miss --; and
that YOUR mother will still continue to trade
with us. I shall be happy to give the usual
discount. Our stock is large and varied;
our aim to please And the door shut
finally, leaving him alone with his grief

Sp,RIT PHOTOGRAPHY

SPIRIT PHoToGRAPHY.-''Spirit photo.
graphy' is thus explained by a Rochester
photographer: 81 take a piece Of glass and
on it | paste the photographed heads OF
such spirits in a semi-circle. Then from
this prepared plate take a negative, and
afterward a positive. When a sitter comes
for photographs | take a negative just as
would any ones. When the printing is
done / place the positive plate of the sitter
under the positive plate of the spirits and
allow the sun to print both. The spirits
being in a semi-circle, the finished photo
graph appears as if the sitter was surround
ed b. heads in the air.

ANN ELIZA YOUNG.

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young's audience was
by far the best assenIblage in point OF
numbers which any lecturer had in this
city during the lecture season. There
can be no doubt that this was due to
curiosity rather than TO expectation, as
it is well known that Mrs. Toung's op-
portunities have not been such as would
make her polished or forcible lecturer.
Taking into consideration the compare
lively short time she has been in the
lecture field and that tendency to fatuity
which characterizes the religious teach
ing Of Mormonism, and her lecture was
much better than was generally expected.
Her style is conversational and easy, her
voice musical and pleasing, and her
choice Of words good. This about ex-
exausts the category of her excellences.
She aims at framing pleasant sounding
sentences, rather than in presenting
strong arguments, and succeeds Ill the
former while making the latter conspic-
uous by their absence. Dealing with q
system Of religion whose tenets are little
understood outside of those processing
it, and which countenances a practice
reprobated by the moral sense of the
people generally, she had field of the
widest range in which to Gull facts for
the edifcation of her audience and was
also assured of their sympathy in adj
vance. Having no competitor in this
field her statements if fortified with rea-
son would be authoritative. But while
her avowed object is to combat polygamy
and make it such stencil in the nostrils
OF the people that their moral sense will
be offended and demand its abolition, her
invective, If the term COMFORTS with the
mildness of her dictiOn, is directed solely
against {. parslmoniOus husband. Poly
gamy is denounced more because Brig
ham was not a doting and considerable
husband, than because there is anything
In the practice that demoralizes, anything
in it Inconsistent with the spirit of Amer
lean institutions. 1t was not too much
to expect that one thoroughly conversant
with every principle Of the creed whose
sophisms, hypocrisies and abuses, she
has fathomed, would by her description,
SO animate her hearers, infuse her own
spirit of active hostility rs to leave an
impression that wOuld outlast that created
10y the systems beiGgincafnated in her
presence. But the desultory reader OF
newspapers is as we'll informed of the
''inwardness" of polygamy as any of
Mrs. Young's auditors. SO far as being
a crusade against the system from which
she withdrew her allegiance, and which
she now SO utterly detests, the lecture
can hardly be said to he success.
fhe lecture, otysithatanGing, was a
very enjoyable one. The story of her
life was interesting and the anecdotes
related by her of the prim and conven-
tiorally good, who with more anxiety for
appearances than regard cor courtesy
would counsel her not to trespass on
propriety during her lecture, were anus
ing. There is nothing in Mrs. Young's
actions Or language tbat does not denote
the lady.

RAILROAD companies in this state have
been keeping close watch lately on
editors passes, some of those having
been sold and loaned to other parties.
The result is that the passes have been
revoked and the editors names placed

melancholy satisfaction of knowing that
they shall "pass no more" The G.. B.

To the Farmers of NanitoC0c Co:
In reply to Mr.. c. Greve's attack upon
me, | deem it of little importance except
to show you the insignificant and pusil-
luminous nature of the man. There is not
manhood enough about him to go into
the field of competition and fight it out as
other machine men do. But rather as
whimpering whining cur, appeal through
the public press for your sympathy and
support; hoping thereby to advertise and
sell his machines by belying me. This
way of redress however seems to be an
inherited propensity OF Mr.. G's which he
cannot overcome. We therefore look
upon him rather as an object of pity
than otherwise. Resp;y,
JOHN BIBINGER.

MAYOR SCHUETrE when he first entered
upon the discharge Of his duties, began
keeping a regular account of the expenses
ana receipts of the city and has kept it
right up to date. The books are really
model of neatness and show at glance
the financial standing OF the city. The
accounts are SO Kept as to show Just fer
what purpose expenditures are made and
the total amount paid out on account of
salaries, printing, poor &c There is
quite an advantage in thus showing just
how much is expended for certain things
as the people are more Interested in hay-
ing expenditures thus given in detail
than given in the aggregate. Mayor
Schuette is deserving of credit for the
pains he has taken in this matter.
