The following rule, given by VIII
liam Paul, Esq, of London, will, if fol.
lowed, enable any one to grow hya-
cinths successfully in glasses, which
are exceedingly elegant and appropri-
ate ornaments for the living
/. If you choose your own bulbs,
look for weight as well as size; be sure.
also that the base of the bulb is
sound.
2. Use the single kinds only, be-
cause they are earlier, harder, and
generally preferable for glasses.
8. Set the bulb in the glass 50 that
the lower end is almost, but not quite
in contact with the water.
4. Use rain or pond water.
5, DO not change the water, but
keepa small lump of charcoal at the
bottom of the glass.
6. Fill up the glasses with water as
the level sinks by the feeding Of the
roots and by evaporation.
Z. When the bulb is placed, put the
glass in a cool, dark cupboard, or in
any place where light is excluded,
there to remain for about six weeks, as
the roots feed more freely in the dark.
2. When the roots are freely devol-
oped, and the flower-spike is pushing
into life, (Which will be in about six
weeks), remove by degrees to full
light and air.
9. The more light and air given
from the time the flowers show colors,
the shorter will be the leaves and
spike.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.

Sassafras is recommended in ivy
poisoning, says Dr.. Foote's Health
MontIsly. A tea made of the bark Of
red sassafras, sweetened to the taste
may be taken internally, whila cloths
soaked in the cold tea are applied to
the irritable parts.
Baking soda is one of the best known
remedies for burns and scalds. 1t
should be Immediately applied either
wet or dry. 1t almost instantly relieves
the burning sensation and helps to heal.
On rising in the morning always put
on the shoes and stockings the first
thing. Never walk about in the bare
feet, or stand on oil cloth. Even in
summer time this is a dangerous ana
unhealthy practice.
In case of poisoning, one of the best
emetics is salt and water, the quantity
being two tablespoonfuls of salt to
about pint of tepid water. 1t acts
promptly and has the advantage of al
ways being near at hand.
One of the best methods to cure
round shoulders is as follows Every
morning before or after breakfast, Sc
lect an empty corner a place where
the hanG can be supported is best
place the hands on the wall and move
backwards and forwards, keeping the
hands firm Twenty times is enough
to begin with, and then increase to one
hundred. This has been known to cure
the worst case of round shoulders.
Another excellent cure is to carry the
chin in and the head erect If this is
done it is impossible to walk round

Reuare Of VIII Rercr.

The animal is usually attacked with milk
fever within 36 hours after dropping her calf,
and unless relieved will probably be dead in
As hours more. The deepest mixers and
COWS in high condition are more subject to it
than those in poor flesh. The cause is the
pressure of blood on the b rain consequent on
the increased amount in the circulation,
forced to seek new channels by the expulsion
of the calf. The symptoms are a sudden and
entire ceasing of the flow of milk, the eyes
become bloodshot, she loses all interest in
her calf and all care for it, lies down and can
be aroused with difficulty, loses all power Of
motion, and death ensues. Sometimes these
symptoms are varied by violent mania, the
COW being crazy, running against walls or
other obstacles with entire carelessness.
Prevention is the first thing to be looked
after This can usually De secured by keep
ing the animal in low condition. The bow
els should be kept open by the use of roots,
bran, and if necessary, mild eathartios. For
several weeks before calying the meal should
be taken away if the COW be in full flesh, and
rich foods avoided. Where the danger is con-
sidered great, bleeding may be resorted to
soon after the calf is dropped
After the attack, the only remedy which
has been found tolerably sure is bleeding.

done, but in advanced stages the blood is
thick and dark and will not flow. In bleed
ing, cord the neck of the animal tightly well
down toward the shoulder, when the vein
will fill above the cord and show distinctly.
Over this the fesm should be held and given
a sharp blow with stick to make the open

Many fruit trees, after being grated and hav-
ing other care and expense bestowed upon
them, are often left to care for themselves.
Crafts that were set last season should be re-
waved, or the old wax should be fixed SO as
TO keep out water and air. As soon as two
cions meet so as to press each other, the
poorer one should be sawed out, with slant
ing cut, from down into the old stock into a
small space at the end Of the stick, so as not
to leave shoulder 70 die and thus damage
the tree. 1t should be the rule TO let the two
or more cions remain till they do come near
ly together, for we must remember we cheat
atree badly when we graft, 90 we only return
few small cions Ia place Of large limbs.
notice one correspondent refers 10 sprouts
for gratis and says he uses them and don't
see why they are not as good as those from
ends Of limbs Yes, they will nearly always
grow, and that Is what is the matter That
old sprouty nature is there and always will
be. They will not give so good shaped trees
nor will they bear as early, and are more ten
der. OF course every one has his privilege,
but would not use them unless was obfg-
cd 30.
Many trees are nov mice eaten. Half the
top should be removed, and long cions set
above and below the wound. Wax them,
bank up about the wound and the trees may
be saved.-COr. Homestead

There are some obvious reasons why our
farms should show increasing productiveness
from year to year. Very few farmers now
sell grsin-even those who have the largest
fields of corn feed all of it on the farm, and
buy more. The immense quantity of western
grain which is consumed here is 30 much fer
tility brought from the west and added TO our
land. In addition to all the manurial re-
sources Of the farm, increased by the feeding
Of western grain and cotton seed meal, the
use of chemicals and commercial fertilizers
adds to the products TO be fed and returned
TO the soil as manure. Notwithstanding the
low price at which farms are offered and the
numerous instances in which, having been
offered for sale and finding no purchaser, they
are deserted, we predict that ten years hence
the agricultural products of Vermont will OK
coed anything heretofore produced. 1t is a
fact, perhaps not generally known, that they
now exceed in value what they were when
the rural districts were most populous, and
when farming in this state was supposed to
be most profitable.

some Point. for Farmers so Consider.

SUNNI oAhNa AOH - OSAsAANAs
A New York Sun reporter has had an inter
view with j. @. Buokwalter, lately Democrat
ic candidate for Governor of Ohio, who has
recently returned from the wheat fields of
India and Australia. He says:
"By the aid of labor-saving machinery this
country can grow agricultural products that
would meet the requirements OF at least 49,
600, 900 people. As we have only 80, 600, 600
of home consumers we are obliged to look to
fereign countries for the consumption of q
portion, else the price at which we would be
compelled to sell the whole amount in this
country would fall below the remunerative
point, as the price of the exported surplus
fixes the value of the whole product
To know how important q factor this eT-
portation of agricultural products has been in
maintaining the prosperity of this country it
is only necessary TO refer to the fact that in
the last ten years those products in this coun
try amounted to 500, 600, 900, 900 for home
consumption, besides furnishing Sc, 000, 00O,-
600 for expectation. 1t is therefore apparent
since the price of agricultural products is fix
ed in foreign countries, it is just as important
for the farmer in Alabama or Iowa to consult
the daily quotation in the markets of Liver
pool and of Kurschee as it is to consult the
quotations of Chicago and New York.
The agricultural products Of this country
stand at great disadvantage from the fact
that the price of that which they consume and
do not produce is 30 much greater than like
prices to the farmers of other countries that
it is dificnlt-eyen though our farmers pos
sess certain advantages over then-to pro
duce the same things at as low price. This
anomaly exists in our industrial system, that
while the price of what our farmers and plan.
tiers receive for their products is fixed by COM
petition in foreign markets, the price of that
which they consume and do not produce is
arbitrarily fixed by the Congress Of the Uni
ted States. II would seem, In all fairness,
that the pnce Of what they buy should be fix
ed in the same markets that fix the price at
which they sell. 1t is remarkable that the Rg-
riculturists of this country seem not to have
discovered the fact that, having for many
years competed with the pessantry and cheap
labor of France, Russia and South America,
and now having to confront a new rival in
India, who works for five cents q day, there
is staring him in the face the necessity of re-
ducing the cost of production"
