In these days when diseases Of the
throat prevail, and particularly dry
hacking cough, which is not only distress
inc 10 ourselves, but to our friends and
those with whom we are brought into
business contact, those thus afflicted may
be benefited by trying the following
remedy:


Last fall we were induced 10 try what
virtue there WAS in common salt. We
commenced by using it three times day,
morning. noon and night. We dissolved
large teaspoonful of common salt in
about a tumblerful Of cold water. With
this we garglc the throat most thoroughly
Just before meal time. The result has
been that during the entire winter we are
moi only free from the usual coughs and
colds to which so far as our memory
extends, we have always been subject,
but the dry hacking cough has entirely
disappeared. We attribute it entirely to
the salt gargle, and do most cordially
recommend it to our readers who are
subject to diseases of the throat.


Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle have the impression that 1t Is
not pleasant. Such is not the case. On
the contrary, it is pleasant. and after n
few DAYS use no person who loves nice,
clean, and first-ratc sharpener OF the ap
petite will abandon it.

Prof. Cock says: In some parts OF
New Jersey, where the agriculture is as
successful as in any part of the United
States, good farmers plow only from
three to FIVE inches deep for their best
crops, and by trial they have found that
deeper blowing, OF subsoiling, has di,
minished the yield of their staple pro-
ducts. Their subsoil is sufficiently open
for the air, water and roots to penetrate
it, and by shallow plowing the manures
are kept close to the surface where they
can produce their best effects.


This mode of plowing would be ruin
Gus to farmer on the real shale soil,
where neither air, water or roots can
sink lower than the plow loosens the
soil. So the treatment of sandy loan
needs to be entirely different of a stiff
clay. The geology of the soils and
rocks Is of fundamental Importance TO

1t is remarkable how much vegetable
matter will add to the growth of tree.
This is especially the case with the
grape vine. A mere covering of leaves
in the fall will have an influence that is
almost astonishing. Such is our exper.
renee. There is, however, a difference
in soil, we find, so as to cause a varia-
tion. A stiff clay soil will not show the
effect so readily, and it seems to fail in
showing full effect, perhaps, because
it keeps the strength on the top, as clay
is an absorber and retainer of fertility.
But in sandy or leachy sol, any soil
that will let the strength down,-we
think noting better for fruit trees, of all
kinds, can be used than the simple sp-
plication in the fall of vegetable matter
in the form of leaves, cut weeds or grass,
grown the same year.


1t will afford a protection during the
winter. The fall and spring rains, and
the heat at the opening of summer, will
prepare it for food, and continue to feed
the roots the most of the season


Now, if mulch is applied when the
heat commences-of the same material, =,
vegetable matter-with some deliques.
cent covering like ashes, plaster, or
lime, there will, unless the soil is quite
deficient in tertilizing matter, be good
growth-such growth as is wantsd-
not extravagant, nor the opposite. In
a quite ordinary soil it will be sufficient.
1t will grow fruit, it will continue to
grow it healthfully, remuneratively,
not in premium crops, but in a perma-
nent abundance. And this is what is
wanted.


Let US apply our light manure in the
fall and use it also as protection from
the heat, as well as food for the trees.
Where the soil is strong clay, it is best
to remove some of it, and get down to
the roots; then replace the ground. A
| few broken bones added while the
ground is open will sometimes be of
benefit, and be lasting one. And we
think it will do no hurt in any case.
Do not use for one year alone; try for
several. In ground disposed to let
down the strength, there will be an ef.
feet almost at once. In such case the
two applications are just the thing
one in the fall and one in the spring, or
the commencement Of the heat, thus
keeping up a constant replenishment,
just what the tree wants. If the roots
of the tree are near the surface, nothing
can be finer than this application. The
forest has been teaching this lesson from
time immemorial.

that she has returned to Paris worth

ENCOURAGE HOME TRADE We
copy from the La Crosse Democrat
the following good advice, which
our citizens would do well to adopt


1t is the true interest Of every
one to encourage the merchants,
manufacturers, mechanics and
tradcsmen of his own town. He
who will not do so manifests but
little regard for the prosperity Of
the place where he lives. The man
who invariably makes purchases
abroad should also look abroad for
business and employment. In or
der to build up and add to the size
and prosperity of the place, tho
citizens thereof must support and
encourage each other. The proper
ty holder will thus be benefited by
the advance of the value of his
possessions; the mechanic by the
erection and Improvement of stores
and dwellings, and the laborcr by
the increased demand for his SER
vices. fm5ul '' itEJ oT.E


If every one should 60 abroad to
make his purchases, trade of all
kinds would become very dull at
home, business would langulsh, men
would have no work, the grass
would grow in our streets in sum
NOR, and only the rich would have
any money in very short time to
purchase anything at home or
abroad.

IMMORTALITY OF THE BEAUTIFUL,
There is nothing-no, nothing
beautiful and good that dies and is
forgotten. An infant, a prattling
child, dying in its cradle, will live
again in the better thoughts Of
those who loved it, and play its
part, though its body be burned to
ashes or drowned inthe deepest sea-


There is not an angel added 10 the
hosts Of heaven but does its bless
ed work on earth in those who
loved it here. Dead! Oh if the
good deeds of the human creatures
could b. traced to their source, how
beautiful would even death appear !

A good farmer viii not plow more land
than he can cultivate reY-pOorly cultivated
land is always growing poorer, while well titled
land is always improving. A good farmer
takes care Of all his fields alike; he will not
slight some fields because they are not so rich
and pleasant to work as Others but will devote
his attention to the improvement Of the whole
farm and not let any part 60 10 grow bushes,
briars and thistles.


A good farmer will not keep more cattle,
horses, and sheep and other stock than he can
keep well. Stock in good order at the begin
ming of winter is much easier wintered than
poor stock; a good farmer will have good
stables open sheds or at least straw stack
for his stock to lay around during the chilling
blasts of winter; a little money spent in pre-
pairing shelter for stock during winter always
returns very good interest. A farmer should
not depend on his neighbor for what he can
produce HIMSELF he will early plant out a
good orchard of the most improved varieties Of
fruits, have good garden and keep it in good
order; he will plant out variety OF shade
trees around his residence and otherwise orna-
ment it so that it will be distinguished as the
family homestead, as place Of quiet repose
for himself and family, and his neighbors see
ing all this will be stimulated to follow the
example.

We long for the day when this custom shall
be obsolete. 1t is unbecoming the truly afiic-
ted one. The wearer says by the black gar
ments: al have lost dear friend. am in
deep sorrow" But true grief does not wish to
parade itself before the eye OF the stranger,
much less docs it assert its extent. The stncs-
en- one naturally goes apart from the world to
pour out the tears Real afiction seeks pri-
vacy. 1t is no respect to the departed friend
to saw we are in sorrow. If we have real grief
il will be discovered. When God has entered
household in the awful chastisement Of death
it is time for religions meditation and COM
munion with God on the part of the survivors.

and the dreSsmaker, the trying on OF dresses
and the trimming of bonnets. There Is some
thing profane in exciting the vanity of ayounG
girl by fitting waist or tying ON hat,
when the corpse of father is lying in an ad-
ioiring room. 1t is a sacrilege to drag the
widow forth from her grief to be fitted for a
gown. or to select a veil. II is often terribly
oppressive to the poor. The widow, lett desc

We heartily endorse much of the foregoing.
The all-pervading custom Of wearing mourn
ing is carried too fer and continued much too
long among all classes of society. This thing
is practsed even when the habiiments Of
mourning are certain to affect the health Of the
wearer, as frequently happens. 1t is a deli
cate subject to touch; but we have long been
! Of oninion that in this custom there was much
i room for Improvement "The widows weeds
/ of which the bard Of Avon speaks, and which
have been worn from time immemorial may
be allowed; but it is evidently absurd that a
lovely girl, Just budding into womanhood,
should day after day and year after year be
clothed in sombre dress, on account Of the loss
ofsome loved relative, until, as frequently oc-
ours, this color only is worn by her, deaths
vsitations being so frequent in the family. A
limit should certainly be set to the time for
wearing mourning, and the ladies themselves
can, if they will, effect the desired reform.
