a Cure for a Cold.

A useful thing to keep in the
house in the way of medicamen1
for colds and for those who don't
approve of alcoholic beverages is q
wine made of ginger in two ways
Boil together four gallons of water
and seven pounds of sugar, skim
ming it all the tins; when cold
squeeze in the juice ofthree lemons
then boil the peels with three
ounces of white ginger in three
pints of water one hour; when cold
put it all into cask with one gill
of Things and three and a half
pounds of malaga raisins; then
close it up, let it stand two months
and bottle it off. 1t is said that a
lump of unslaked lime put into the
cask will keep VINE from turning
sour. To null ginger wine: Boil
to one wine glass full and half of
water, half an ounce of cinnamon,
some slightly bruised ginger and
some cloves, with three ounces of
fine white sugar, until they form a
a thick syrup which must not be al
lowed to burn. Pour in one pint of
ginger wine and stir it gently till it

The question of how to protect
sheep from the caresses of destruc
tive dogs, which has so long agita-
ted the agricultural mind, seems to
have been happily settled by the
farmers of Hunterdon and Somer-
set counties, New Jersey. Some
time since they tried the expert
ment of mixing in few goats with
their sheep, and after the goats and
sheep had affiliated for a lew days,
they procured some dogs, regular
sheep-killers, and started them for
the folds. The dogs, regarding the
affair as sort of picnic, went for
wool and came back shorn of their
conceit. They seemed to run
against goats in the most unexpec-
ted places, and were struck by the
singular nature of the thing and al
most drove into the ground by the
force of the remarks made by the
goats with their heads, in the heat
Of the debate. Mutton, which the
dogs had always regarded as a deli
cacy suddenly palled upon the
taste and they felt cloyed. No
doubt the goats with customary pc
likeness, asked their guests to pass
their plates and have some of the
mutton, but the dogs did not care
for mutton. They came out of the
field limping on three legs, and no
words Of encouragement from the
farmers could induce them to go
back. They had been broke of
sucking eggs.-Peck's Sun.

Protecting Dairy Stock.

If a farmer were to 90 to his
bank, says Prof. S. A. Knapp, and
ask the loan of q small sum of
money upon good security, he
would be surprised and indignant
if the charge for its use were 10 per
cent. for day; and yet this is pre-
cisely what lack of protection from
cold and storms is doing for the
dairyman. A days cold storm in
October exacts its ten per cent. in
milk; few hours in the stalk field
in December or January passes
into the milkman a discount check
for 10 and even 20 per cent. He
quietly pays this bill, for which he
never receives a cent OF advantage,
and does not call the storm any hard
names for mulcting him.
Perhaps he does not know how
much he pays. Weigh the milk,
that will tell part.
The principle Of loss by exposure
is explained by an exchange as fol-
lows:
The COW that is tied in a dry,
well bedded stall, is fed there, and
allowed to remain till digestion is
pretty nearly accomplished, will 90
through the process more expedi-
tiously than in condition where less
comfort is guaranteed. The expla-
nation is very simple. If the circu-
lation be undi7turbed by cold-al-
lowed to remain in it's natural chan
nels-lt will flow to the stomach du
ring the digestive process in exact
ly the amount requlred-in other
words, in lightly freer quantity
than when the organ is arrest. At
ter the process is completed, the ex-
ira flow will return to the general
circulation. Now, as stated, the I'M
due exposure to which farm stock
is subjected in inclement weather,
is damaging alike to the beast and
to the purse of its owner. The abb
straction of heat in resisting undue
cold, the interruption of digestion
in the manner named, and the APP
preparation of the accumulated fat
to enable the system to carry on its
war with the elements, are reasons |
sufficient to deter any man from
leaving stock in the outer air, to
heir discomfort.

LADIES' COLUMN.
The Sick.

BY ANNA L. WHITE, ST. LOUIS, MO
To minister to such, woman is
especially adapted. Her kindly ma
ture and quick perceptions, Joined
to wonderful powers of endurance
make her cat home by the bedside
of the sick. Many persons are IN
firing, devoted nurses, and yet fail
to make the sick room attractive
and render long days less irksome.
When sickness invadeS the house
hold all should supply themselves
with a double amount of patience,
for it is usually called in demand
Do not consult the sick person as
to whether the pillow should be
moved, but quietly change it and
re ARRANGE the bed clothing, and a
rested look will be given. Do not
look anxious, but get the features
in good order before entering the
room, knowing that sickness seems
TO sharpen sight and hearing and
make one over-sensitive. Do not
at each meal ask what is wanted,
but prepare some dainty and sur
prise the patient, trying to give va
riety at every meal. No matter
what the food is, bring 1t in an en-
ticing form. Get the best china,
the whitest napkin, have each arti-
Gle on separate dish, and make
everything tempting. Such a waiter
will often tempt the most obstinate
appetite. 1t is Tot too much
trouble either to prepare meals for
The sick In this way. l have seen
meals carried to the sick in such a
careless style that the appetite of
well person would have been
shocked. If woman has not a
gift or talent for nursing she should
assiduously cultivate it. Especially
be ready to act with GOODNESS and
dexterity when sudden accidents
face US; quick to see what is needed
and cool to execute. We may NOS
expect to be Florence Nightengales,
but We can be accomplished nurses
in our own homes and little circles.
Very young girls can be of invalua-
bic aid in their homes, among the
children, and so often tighten moth
er's burden. Flowers SHOULD be il
sick rooms whenever possible
Change a picture occasionally, or
vary the little ornaments round the
room. 1t will be so restful to tired
eyes and brain. Let the sick be
"monarchs of all they survey" while
sick, aud count no efforts lost, or
too great which lightens tedious
hours of illness and convalescence.

A Department Of Agriculture.

The demand which the granger
organizations are making for the in
stitution of a department of agri-
culture, with cabinet officer at the
head of it,says the Missouri Repub-
lican, Is entitled to respectful con-
siderstIon. II the dignity of an in
terest is to be measured by the
number, stability and worth of those
who represent it, the farming inter
est in this country must be allowed
to stand above all Others. 1t is the
farming class that, more than all
others, make the country's wealth,
supply the materials for its com
merce, fight its battles and support
its institutions. And yet it has no
representative In the government.
When congress is IN session 1t is
visited by deputstions of iron and
steel makers, ship-builders and
other manufacturers who desire
special legislation for their advan
tsge; but who ever heard of depu
tation of wheat growers, or cotton
planters, or cattle grazers, visiting
Washington to represent the special
claims of their interests to Con
gress? II such a deputation were
to present itself st the White
House, or at the door of either
house of the national legislature,
who could measure the amazement
of the New York financiers or the
Philadelphia iron-mongers at the ef-
frOntery which dared to encroach on
their exclusive domain?
The agricultural interest has a
feeble recognition at Washington.
There is an officer called "com-
missioner" for want of better
name, who collects and distributes
and Issues a monthly bulletin OIL the
condition of the staple crops, and
this is all the standing the most i'm
portant vocation of the country has
at the national capital. The com
missioner has no authority that
anybody respects; he is not con
suited by the superiors above him,
and his papers are rarely read, even
when they are worth reading. We
entrust our little army of $4,000
men to the supervision of a depart
ment officer, and in virtue of this
make him an adviser of the presi-
dent; we give the supervision of
our navy of . handful Of ships to
another person, and make him
officer; we place the In
dians, the public lands and the pen
sions in the hands of another, and
give him seat in the cabinet; but
we leave the leading interest of the
country to an obscure commission
er, and allow it to take care of itself.
1t may be that agriculture can be
accorded the dignity and considera-
ton it is entitled to, without being
endowed with a special department
in the government, but the fact that
classes have no organized
methods for speaking for them
strongly favors the concession to
hem of a bureau or department |
hat will speak for them, and pre-
sent the claims of American agri- |
culture in a way that wall secure a
'ull recognition.

True Womanlv Ambition.

The daily life-education of the
mass OF young women is not wha
it should be. 1t is much like the
life-education OF the mass OF young
men. There is a great body O
young men who float on the stream
of life with no settled self direction
Ask one of them what he lives for
and he will tell you, "to chew to
bacco, swear, be a man." and his
| idea of being a man is to be able to
do these things with grace and dig
nifty.
Talk as we will aholt woman's
influence, it is rot what 1T should
be. We all know that if woman
ruled the world, there would be less
loW, drunken, rovdy, sensual men.
1t has long been a hollow compli
ment which man has paid to wo-
man to tell her that she rules the
world. But no man believes it
when he says it,
Why are so many young men
reckless, profane and lawless? 1t
is not because young women would
nave them so. Far from it.
Their female associates do not
hold half the control over them
that they ought. There is no high
er thing beneath the bending heaV-
ems than a true woman. No pu-
rer ambition than that which
Graves this crown for her mortal
b. ow. Woman has not had a fair
chance for the culture of her mind.
She has been continually anathe-
matted and tormented with the
idea that she is the weaker vessel"
Her father, her brother, and her
husband have always told her that
her mind was weak and small, and
that it could not comprehend great
things nor do great works. All
through her youth it has been a
dead weight on her mental activity.
How could woman be any thing
with the whole world against her. |
Woman is still believed TO be intel |

sas: 1.-The old COW is nearly full
biooded Durham, weighs about

calves that have become COWS,
and they produce butter the sam e

16 pounds per week; thinks they
would produce more if they had a
good place for the milk. They
have no churn and have no use for
one; they just lift the butter off the
milk and work 1t the same as
churned butter, and they work out
about the same amount of butter

Farmers Wives.


In his opening address before
the Indiana State Grange Associs
zion, Governor Porter made the fol
lowing allusiop towomsn's interests {:
Women are admitted as members
of your order, and 1 am glad to see
SO many ladies here TO day. Those
who are consulted so much at home
IN regard to the conduct of farm
and household are counted worthy
10 be consulted with and to take
part in discussions in your counsels
with regard to the most important
questions that concern you. The
time has gone by when it is consid
cred unfeminine for women TO I'M
derstaud business, and the farmer,
who must place reliance, in case of
death, upon his wife, If upon any
body, TO preserve his estate until
his children shall have attained an
age and capacity to manage it, likes
now TO make sure that she is in
structed in business, and will not
have to lean upon some unknown
and incompetent or fraudulent per-
son for advice and assistance.
Invention has almost revolution
lied the way of farming. The
farmer can cultivate his crops with
far less than half the labor he could
generation ago, and do his work
much more efficiently. But the
farmers wife has been by no means
an equal shsIer in this alienation.
Invention has done little for her.
The clothes-wringer and the sew
ing-mschine are nearly all the aids
that invention has furnished to her.
The wearing cares and work remain
to her as OF yore. 1t is the duty of
every farmer, therefore, in proper
ton as his burdens have been light
ened, to supply his home with every
convenience that can possibly light
Ell her. How to do this best is
most fit subject tor your thoughts
while here and your anxious inqui-
ries afterward. Every alienation
Of her condition tends 10 make home
more cheerful and attractive. and
enables her 10 bring up her children
more carefully. The more you rem
der the home attractive the less
they will become hsunters of the
Gown or TO try TO make amends for
pleasures denied them AT home by
seeking dangerous pleasures else
where.

Careful experiments have proved
that corn which is billed will blow
down more readily than that which
has level culture. This can be &C
counted for by the fact that corn
roots run very near the surface, and
when hills are made they are con-
fined to the small surface covered by
the hill; while in level culture the
roots run from one row to another,
thus enabling the corn to stand
strong, as nature intended, and in no
way liable to be blown down except
by winds of unusual violence.

The florists of st. Louis are now
heavily taxed by the constant de-
mands for yellow fiowers-a color
wholly neglected heretofore. The
yellow towering plants, and varle-
ties approaching this color that
have heretofore been consigned to
oblivion, will be resurrected to meet
the demand arising from the es-
thetic craze now sweeping over the
country. The negro heretofore
has been credited with a thirst for
the gaudy yellow. Now his judg
ment and taste are Endorsed by a
very aristocratic following. Oscar

now in this country, gave birth to
this wild commotion.- Rural World.
The demand for mutton for sum-
mer consumption in every town and
village is thing to be cultivated by
farmers. A flock of sheep Is safe to
pay 100 per cent. profit in the hands
of a competent manager. Every
week few head of fat sheep might
go to the butcher for local consump-
ton durisg the hot weather, when
beef is less salable, and in this way
the surplus of a considerable flock
might be worked of. But the dogs !
