FARM AND PRESIDE.

Salt, il is said, will prevent club
root in cabbages. Throw tablespoon
full of fine salt around the roots after
planting? this will also destroy the cut
worm.
If corned beef is left all night in the
water in which it was boiled, it will alb
sorb great deal of the rich juice of the
meat which otherwise would be lost.
The meat will be very juicy and sweet.
To remove ink stains from printed
books, procure a pennyworth of oxalic
acid, which dissolves in small quantity
of warm water; then slightly wet the
stain with it, when it will disappear,
leaving the leaf uninjured.
The peppermint crop of the United
States reaches about 10000 pounds a
year, of which $4,000 pounds is expor-
ted. Two-thirds of the peppermint oil
of this country is produced in New York
and about one-third in Michigan.
Pine stumps may be more profitably
removed by blasting with dynamite than
by stump puller. A large pine stump
requires very great force to be pulled
out of the ground, but 1t is easily torn to
pieces and thrown out by two to four
ounces of dynamite.
-Nutmegs should be used sparingly,
for they possess narcotic property that
constitutes them drug. A lady who
was induced to take nutmeg tea by her
nurse was made drowsy by it, and finally
put into profound stupor resembling
that of opium. Monthly.
An ebony finish on furniture is pro-
cured as follows: Sandpaper the wood
until a clean, smooth surface is obtained.
Make strong detection of nut gals in
hot water, adding little logwood ex-
tract; paint this over the wood hot, Civ
ing two coats. Then brush it over with
solution of sulphate of iron, one ounce
to pint of water. Smooth down the
grain, and polish with bees-waX and lin
seed oil.
For chapped hands, scrape beeswax
lightly INTO small -mouthed bottle
until it is nearly full; put in small
piece of mutton tallow, and fill with
olive oil; set the bottle far back on the
stove, and as soon as the wax is melted
remove it. This will be found very nice
for chapped hands; it is also healing if
used on small sores, and is good for sun
burn. The oil is much pleasanter to use
if a few drops of some essential Oil are
added to give it a pleasant odor.
"A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes that experience has taught
him the following points about potatoes:
81. The Early Rose is the best in quality
and most profitable. 2. Unjust be planted
as soon as the ground can be properly
prepared. 3. The ground must either
be already highly enriched, or else heav-
lily MANFRED with old, well-rotted ma
nure. 4. The Colorado beetle must be
destroyed as soon as the plants come up.
5. The ground must be kept clean and
must be stirred each week until the
plants are full of bloom. A few days
delay in planting often means failure. A
difference of just one week in planting
two different plats last spring, caused al
most a failure in the last one planted.
Neglect to kill the Colorado beetle as
soon as the plants push through will Sc
riously injure the crop. When the plant
begins to bloom, cease to stir the soil
deeply, but skin the surface until they
cover the ground.

The last trim of the Cunard steam

ship Servia to Liverpool is said to have
been the fastest across the Atlantic yet
accomplished. The apparent time of the
passage is seven days, twelve hours,
thirty-nine minutes, and the actual time
of the passage from Sandy Hook, seven
days, seven hours, forty-one minutes.
This is by several minutes the shortest
passage on record, notwithstanding that
the Cunard route is by ninety miles
longer than that taken by most of the
other lines. On several days the Servia
had easterly winds.

all the capital they can by contrasting the total
appropriations, for all purposes. by the present
Congress, with the totals voted by democratic
Congresses OF the past few years. The charge
against the administration OF indifference to the
lights OF citizens abroad is, OF course. intended to
