How to secure ePresey Face.

Tablespoonful of sulphur taken every
other morning for a week, then omitted
three mornings and taken again, will
clear the complexion in q couple of
months, but willprobably make the black
specks more numerous for a week or two.
A mixture ofpowdered birthstone or sui
phur in diluted glycerine, rubbed on at
night, in connection with the other
treatment, will soon cause them to dis
appear. Wash off carefully in the morn
ing with soap and water, in which there
is a little ammonia. After this, if the
face seems oily, wash it at night with
spirits of camphor reduced with half as
much glycerine and a few drops of am
monia. In the morning battle the face
as before with a little ammonia in it, and
after wiping it carefully sponge it over
with camphor and water, and in a short
time the fairness of your skin will delight
yourself and surprise your friends.
Hints to Farmers.
There is a farmer near Dedham,
Mass, Nh. G. W. Wolcott, who gets four
tons of timothy hay per acre. He toe
dresses his meadows with five cords per
acre of good barn yard manure. What
do you think ofthis, farmers of the west ?
Don't it pay to keep stock and save the
manure, or is it best to let it waste in
unsightly heaps about the barns and
grounds?-Farmer.
EARLY beets are among the plants
that may be started early; and in fact
the seed always comes the best when
planted early. In preparing the land
for beets the best of manure should be
used, and applied with a liberal hand,
for to get beets by the first of July the
plants must have something to force
them.
The planting of trees along the pub
lie roads of France is considered wor-
thy of statistical mention. At present.
the total length of public roads in
France is $3.50 miles, of which 1880
L bordered with trees, while 1880
miles are already being planted or will
shortly be planted. On the remaining
1000 miles the nature of the soil does
not admit of plantations. The number
of trees already planted amounts to g.,
67s ,603, consisting principally of elm,
poplar, ~acacia, plane, ash, sycamore
and lime trees.
Early peas should be planted very
soon after the ground is clear of frost
by those who have a garden on warm
land, especially if ina sheltered loca-
ton. Few plants will endure the cold
spring winds better than the pea until
it begins to blossom. then the frost will
injure it, and even the cold winds will
sometimes kill the buds and tender
leaves. Stable anu is a good dress
ing for this plant, but if a little ground
bone be scattered in the rows the crop
will be very much improved.
Have yon still a part of those potatoes
msold? if so, instead of spending your
own time and the strength of your teams
in hauling them tomarket at from 10 to
20 cents per bushel, it is better to give
a daily fead of them to all the working,
and also to all the pregnant animals not
excepting the hogs and sheep. Potatoes
are just the feed needed to loosen their
bowels to cool their systems and carry
them successfully and healthily through
the critical period. Just seehow eagerly
they will eat them, and how smart and
lively they will make the offspring.
1t is the poorest kind of policy to sell
at those prices which hardly pay the
cost of the lador involved, and, besides,
they are worth more to feed those ami
mails. Dept sell at prevalent prices,
