AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. THE HAKVEST HOME. There's a fragrance Jn the air, Distilled from new mown hay, There are notes of music rare From feathered songsters gay. AH nature now is teeming With busy, active life o time for idle dreaming While ha vest time is rife. The reaper and the mower A merry chorus sing, As now the erstwhile, sower The "Harvest Home" doth bring. So day by day we're sowing here Seeds for the harvest time. Jf wisely, surely will appear Fruitage, in deeds sublime! But if in sinful pleasure Our early lives are passed Sorrow, in deepest measure. Will fill our cup at last. A. M. Waldron, in Western Rural. PEAS AXD POTATOES. In some sections of Maine, where can ning of vegetables is carried on to a con siderable extent, the farmers drop a pea with each piece of potato as planted. The two thrive well together: .the peas ! i yield a good crop for the canner, and do not perceptibly interfere with the potato ; yield. We regard this a good plan, as we do the planting of cucumbers among early corn, securing a good crop of each. A m-erintn Agriculturist. THK POTATO BLIGHT. lii many parts of New England and New York potato blight and rot have played havoc with the potato crop, car rying disappointment to the farmer. However, throughout th couatry an average crop of potatoes is expected. In' Canada and the Provinces a large yield is repoi i jd. Hence, whatever may be the scarcity in certain localities, and what ever the hardship in individual cases, yet we are not to have a potato famine or an era of extraordinary prices. Just now, in fart, potatoes are lower in price in Boston, since the signs of rot arc causing farmers to send along their htock quite rapidly: Later on prices will stiffen, and we may not expect .so low a range of nriees to nrevnil this fall as was tho -fisr 1 A i " last vear.

The windmill has long been useful and in many localities has been synonymous with a corn or Hour mill, cheaply grind ing the farmer's grain and adapting itself automatically to the changeful breeze.-. And now that thse engines have been greatly improved they seem to be vanish ing out of use: This is to be deplored. For the light work of pumping water, cutting fodder, grinding gram, shelling corn, thrashing, cutting up silage or cut ting nreworr a windmill may repay its cost at least . ice every year, and with careful usage may last forty or fifty years, or be replaced piecemeal, as it wears, in that time, and then be as good as new. A . windmill attached to a barn or a silo is an evidence of the good sense, thrift and respectability of the farmer who owns it, and is to be preferred before a great many of those other things over which farmers waste money uselessly. , COMPACT THE WHEAT GKOTTSD. Wheat succeeds best in a compact seed bed; oue in which the particles arc not fused into masses, but in which they are distinct and in close contact. Hence, in the preparation of, ground-for wheat, the roller and narrower should be used as' much to compact the seed bed as to pul verize the clods. In such a seed bed there is greatest capillarity: moisture and heat are-raost generally and equably dif fused through the ground. Each grain of seed is likely to lind those conditions essential to germination, and the plants those favorable to grow.th. When the wheat is sown there is often a deficiency of moisture in the upper soil; but if the seed bed has great capillarity, moisture will be lifted from it. In a compact seed-bed . there are no holes in which wTater can collect, and the capillary con dition prevents an excess of moisture about the roots. The wheat plant is doubtless injured by stagnant water about its roots, and this is also chiefly respon sible for the serious heaving out of wheat by frost. In a compact sped bed the roots also get a surer hold than when they must cling to the sides of holes or crevices. Finally, such a seed bed most jadily yields plant food, and the plant can'ma5 stronger growth against frost qrit insQCtl, oYitfyre readily recover from their attacks. American AgrkutturUt. APPLES FOU FEEDIXG STOCK. The use of apples for feeding stock was more general last year than ever be fore, because there was no other wav to ... v dispose of them'. Farmers have in most cases believed that apples had little or no feeding value, and thousands of bushels have gone to waste on the ground when the owners had abundant stock to con sume them. There have been instances, of course, where cow's have broken into orchards and gorged themselves with un ripe fruit, and the same is true of grain Chests ; but that does not prove that either are not useful when used in moderation. One man in town fed a colt all last fall principally on apples. No grain was used, and it was estimated that this colt made a gain of 100 pounds in weight. Other farmers found nothing increased the . flow of milk so much as a moderate supply of apples. One man says he made n gain of ten quarts of milk per day by feeding four and a half bushels of apples to eight cows, which makes a gaiu of forty-six quarts to the cow. Dr. tJoess lnann finds that the analysis of apple pomace indicates a feeding value nearly cquai to uiacoi coru cuMiage. Has not the time arrived when apple pomace will have a value as certain as any other feeding material? To those who never fed their stock apples, I would say try it and seeaf you cannot get as good results as you can by carrying Jhem to the cider mills. tfew England Home tstead. -.

Eiffht hundred tons of rain fall on that O it barnyard yearly. j j It is probably true that; deep, plowing is better for wheat than for almost any other crop that the farmed -can grow. It is all the better for the j wheat crop if some subsoil free from vegetable matter, is turned up to the surface. It may be a rich seed bed, but cultivation will pul verize it, and the subsoil is apt" on good wheat land to be richer inj phosphate and mineral plant food than foil nearer the surface. It is to get phosphate from the subsoil that some wheat; growing farmers have plowed more deeply than thev oth- erwise would do. intelligent Hobes It is- a great mistake ;to imagine that -all the best trained and I most intelligent horses are to be seen m preuses.

Whip a quart of and Btand in a cold place until wanted. Press the rice througb?a wire;, sieve and put back in the saucepan, ueat the yelks of four eggs with a cup and a half of sugar until light, then mix with the rice, stir well and set on the stove until it begins to thicken. Take from the fire, flavor with vanilla, and pour out to cool. When cold, put into a freezer and freeze. When frozen, stir in the whipped cream, remove the dasher, pack in ice, and stand away to harden. Serve in saucers with sugared oranges or soft peaches. . PUHEE OF 8TBETG BEAXS. Make a strong stock the day before it is needed of a knuckle cf veal, three quarts of water, a generous slice of salt pork, and two or three slices of onion. Let it simmer for five hours; then pour it through a sieve into a jar; before using scrape off all the fat. Ten minutes be fore dinner, put into a saucepan two ounces of butter, and when it bubbles sprinkle in two heaping tablespoonfuls of flour; let this cook without coloring; then add a cupful of hot cream, one pint of the heated stock, and on6 pint of green string bean pulp; i. e., either fresh or canned string beans, boiled tender with a little pork, then pressed through a colan der and freed from juice. After mixing all together, do not let the soup boil, or it will curdle and spoil. Stir it constantly while on the fire. POACHED EGGS WITH SAUCE. Eggs are best poached in a deep frying pan three parts full of boiling water, to which a tablespoonful of strong vine gar and a teaspoonfiil of salt has been added; small muffin rings may be laid in the pan and each egg carefully broken into it. Three minutes are usually enough to cook them in gently boiling water. Slip a perforated skimmer or cake turner under the muffin ring and egg, lift both out together, ana slip both on a half slice of buttered toast, then re move the ring ; no attempt should be made to poach more than three or four at a time, nor any but very fresh eggs to be used . j Make a sauce as follows : Melt a table spoonful of butter and one of flour over the fire till they bubble; pour half a pint of hot milk quickly to it, stirring well all the time till it boils ; have ready a tea spoonful of finely chopped parselyj-and a half one of chives or a young spring onion ; add to the sauce with a saltspoon ful of salt ; let them boil five minutes and oour it over the eggs and toast. MATOXXAISE DRESSING. The first requisite for making mayon- yiaise is perfect coldness of utensils and materials, ine eggs, oil, vinegar, bowl and egg-beater should be on the ice for an hour or more before they are used. When the work is begun, the bowl in which the mixing is to be done should be set in a pan of ice-water, in the cool est corner of the kitchen. The yolks of two eggs, drained clear of the whites, should be dropped into the bowl, and mingled with a few turns of the egg beater. To these 'must now be added a couple of drops, no more, of the best salad oil, and these must be stirred in with a .full minute's revolution of the beater. Two more drops, another min ute's whipping, and so on for ten min utes. Then the quantity of oil may be increased to five or six drops ata time. Be careful to beat vigorously between these additions. Soon the mixture will begin to thicken, and now the oil may be put in by the teaspoonfuj, whipping it thoroughly, until the mayonnaise has reached such a consistency that the egg beater moves with difficulty. A teaspoon ful of vinegar thins it a little, and then more oil is added. Thus the work goes on until the requisite amount of dressing, of the thickness of very rich cream,' is ready. A pint of oil may be used to every egg, and vinegar, enough to keep the mayonnaise at the desired consistency. At the last," salt to'taste, and a little white pepper may be stirred in, and the Tvhole is then to Jdc set on the ice until it is needed;. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To prevent flat-irons from scorching, wipe them on a cloth wet with kerosene. Ice can be easily broken into bits by using a needle or pin and gently pound ing v Z: ' , " To polish steel, rub it with a piece of emery paper, from which you have re-1 moved some of the roWhness bv rubbing it on an old knife. ' Clean brasses on mahogany or other ; furniture bv rubbing with chamois, skin dipped in either powdered whiting or rotten stone mixed with sweet oil. Willow furniture that has not been stained or painted, can be washed with salt and Water and a brush; dry thor oughly before exposing it to dust. For inexpensive bands for curtains, take strips of cretonne with very pretty vines or figures and outline them with tinsel; it has the effect of old tapestry work. To set delicate colors in embroidered handkerchiefs, soak them ten minutes previous to washing in a pail of tepid water, in which a dessertspoonful of turpentine has been w:ell stirred. Salt sprinkled on any substance burn ing on the stove will stop the "smoke and smell., Salt thrown upon coals 'blazing from the fat of broiling chops or ham will qiuse the. blaze to subside. An excellent way of cooking eggs is to break them in boiling milk, without beating, cook slowly, stirring now and then. When done soft, pour into a dish and add a little pepper; salt and ' but ter.

Cleaning-rags, with which nietal may quickly be polished, consist of a woolen rag saturated with soap and tripoli. They are prepared in 'the following man ner : Four grains soap are dissolved in water, twenty grains tripoli are added to the solution. A piece of cloth of about twenty-four inohes long by four inches broad is . soaked in ihis and left to dry. When washing windows dissolve a small quantity of washing soda in the water, if the glass is dimmed with smoke or dirt. Do not let the water run on the sash, but wash each pat with a piece of flannel; dry quickly with a soft clean towel and wipe out the corners carefully. Polish with a piece of com mon chamois skin or newspaper that has been softened by rubbing between the hands. -" ; A Painted Diamond. Tliere is one pawnbroker in Washing ton who has lost all faith in human hon est j. Several months ago a nicely dressed man entered his shop and displayed a pair of diamond earrings, upon which, ce desired to secure a loan. The stones had that peculiar bluish white color so highly priied among lovers of diamonds, and the pawnbroker readily advanced him $250 on them. " The stranger departed, and in due course of time the pawnbroker tried to dispose of them. He exhibited the dia monds to a well-known dealer, who said if they would stand the test they were easily worth $1500. The stones were re moved from their settings and placed in a pottle of alcohol. Then they were shaken for about five minutes, taken out and carefully cleaned.. From the beauti ful! bluish white they had become as yel lov as the Chinese flag, and not worth over $75. The expert said afterward: "These stohes "are painted. The process is a simple one. A small piece of indelible peiicil is dissolved in a teacup of water. Thb yellow diamond is then painted with a fine camel's hair' brush dipped in the preparation, aud the stone is allowed to dry. The paint will wear off in time, buj nothing will remove it quickly but alcohol. No reputable dealer wiH have anythiug to do with such stones, but we hae to keep a pretty sharp lookout for just such tricks as that one I exposed a few moments ago. Boston Traveler. Portable Boats. One field of monopoly, about, which the world at large knows little, says Bh.kely Hall, in Once-a- Week, has been very rapidly filled up of late and the de velopments are going on constantly. I refer to the construction of portable boats. People who have done any shoot ing in the noithern part of this continent or who have gone after heavy game in th( extreme northwest know what it is to find themselves separated' from the stream in which they are paddling by a strip of hilly ground just across which is a bit of. water that may lead to almost anything that is attractive. To the ordinary canoe or boat, the transit across the land is an im possibility with the means usually at hand. This predicament has been met by the manufacture of cloth, rubber and canvass boats which may be packed up into square boxes, and shipped by ex press, carried on the shoulders of men or packed on a mule's back with equal facil ity , A boat fourteen feet long may be packed in the space occupied by an ordi naiy trunk, and this space include abso lutely everything; for the oars and pad dles are jointed so that they may be shortened to one-quarter their length, and every detail of the little craft is per? fee :. The boats are neither cranky nor soglgy in the Water and the result of brisk competition has been the turning out of a sor; of craft that Stanley used to wish for during his first exploration of Africa. A-iPeep at Pasteur. In a letter to the Charleston News and Courier y a Paris correspondent says : Per haps the most interesting feature of the wo -k to many of the visiting students was the visit to the Pasteur Institute, where we were received by Monsieur Pasteur, anc . shown through the halls and labora tory es of the institution, which has been erected by popular subscription and placed under his control. The OTeat sci- entist is a modest: a trifle below medium height, with a slight limp in the right leg; whether teniporary or not I do not know. His gray hair is short and his beard, also gray, is snort-cropped. His face wears a look Of intense thought,' which does not relax even when a smile comes to light it up. As is but just, Pasteur's popularity is great in Paris, and when he stood at the entrance of the institute that bears his name, and with his favorite grandchild, a tiny little girl standing by his side, wel comed the representatives of the uhiversi- ties of every land come to pay homage to the greatest scientist of his time, there broke forth from the ranks of lustyr throated students cries loud and Ions of "Long live Pasteur !" Afterward, at the Hotel de Ville reception, when he walked through the rooms leaning on the arm of the President of the City Council, I saw him receive a perfect ovation, cries of jive Pasteur!" following him wherever If he went, How. to Fix a Black Eye. Ecchymosis of the eyelids in plain language, "a black eye" is by no means a misfortune confined to bruises. Even a slight blow from any source is liable to cause it, and it is an interesting question to the man of peace and social standing how to get rid of it in the shortest time possible, since no excuse which he may off e r is likely to be accepted by his- as soc ates. The laity have many remedies, sue a as a raw oysters, a rotten apple, scraped raw potatoes, and raw beef. But nor e of these is efficacious. Among physicians the prescription of Mr. Law son has been popular. That consisted of the tincture of arnica, liquor ammonia, spirits of rosemary and camphor mixture. Later ' another preparation ' has been strongly recommended, the assertion be- made.that there is nothing to com- parje with it in preventing black eye. It is made of the tincture or strong infusion of capsicum annuum, which is mixed with an equal bulk of mucilage of gum arabic, and a few drops of glycerine is added. This should be painted all over the I bruised surface with a camel's hair- pencil and allowed to dry on, a second or third coating being applied as soon as the first is dry. It is said' that if this is usejl at once after the injury is inflicted, it Will invariably prevent the "blood set tling," and the consequent black eye. Neib 4. VI rh Star.

A wonderful freak of nature, resulting from the charming of a .hen by a huge rattlesnake, is reported by Major Schelleir de Buol, who resides just south of thi3 city, on the line of the Burlington road. The Major tates that he had occasion to search for af favorite hen belonging to his coop of rare fowls, and he found her near a pile of brush, trembliug like a leaf, and gazing with strained eyes and neck transfixed at a huge rattlesnake, which lay coiled not four feet away, with head and tail up, ready for his fatal spring. Major de Buol had a hoe in his hand at the time, and lost no' time in de spatching his . snakeship. He then at tempted to "shew" the hen to the barn, but she could not be made to stir, and he accordingly picked her up and carried her in his arms-to the coop. The strang est thing about the incident above nar rated is that for three successive days thereafter the hen laid an egg, on the large end of which was an exact repre sentation in miniature' of the rattlesnake, the flat head, short, thick body and but ton tail of" this species of reptile being strikingly apparent. Otherwise the eggs were perfectly formed and of ordinary size. The coils or representations of the snake are raised a quarter of an inch from the shell, and are singulgrly formed on the inside, showing conclusively that it was the work of nature. The eggs were brought to this city and presented to Dr. E. R. Kittoe by Major de Buol, and are now on exhibition at Siniger's drug store, where they have been seen and examined by hundreds of people. Chicago Tribune. Mehdin? .Extraordinary.' In these days stockings cost so Uttie, and time has become so valuable that it pays better to replace the old with new as soon as lue iwuici uegms io snow signs of wear; and. so, stocking mending has nearly gone out of fashion. But there are still situations where it may be nec essary. Listen to the ingenious way in which a South American traveler con trived to mend his hose without taking a stitch." In the Brazilian woods are quan tities of a tree called the Mangaba, the milk or sap of which has many of the properties of that of the true India rub ber tree, and may some day be used in its place. By spreading some of this thick milk on a piece of cloth slightly laro-er than the area of the hole to be re paired, filling the stocking with sand or sticking the prepared cloth over the hole, and then coagulating the milk by the ad dition of a little acid, the rent place has been.; rendered stronger than any other part of the stocking, for it will never come off . Clothes of all kinds, includ ing "boots and rubber cloaks, are patched in the same ready and serviceable way. American Agriculturist. Value of a Life. Before our Civil War the money value placed upon the working force in a slave, a young negro field hand, was 1000 and upward, and upon a skilled mechanic over $3000. Dr. Farr and Edwin Chadwick, both eminent sanitarians, practically con firm these estimates. "Dr. Farr says thai, in England an agricultural laborer, at th'j age of twenty-five years, i3 worth, OTer and above what it costs to maintain him, $1191, and that the average value of every man, woman and child is $771. Edwin Chadwick says that each individ ual of the English working classes (mere children work there, we must remember) is worth $890, and at forty years of age $1780. Our values in this country are much greater. Take the probabilities of our length of life from the insurance tables, and put our labor on the market for that term of years, and you will find what we are worth to the community. Medical Clamct. . . A Hatter of Health. Almost every branch of gymnastics is employed in one way or another by the doctors, bat the simple and r natural function of singing has not yet received its full meed of attention. ".. In Italy, some years ago, statistics were : taken which proved that the vocal artists were especially long-lived and healthy, under normal circumstances, while of the brass instrumentalists itwas discovered that con sumption never claimed a victim among them. Those who have a tendency to waffl conSumptio i should take Sasy vocal exercises, no matter how, thin and weak their voices seem to be. Tliey will fiod a result at times far surpassing any re lief afforded by medicine. Vocal prac tice, in moderation, is the best system of general gymnastics that can be imag ined, many muscles being brought into play that would scarcely be suspected of action in connection with' so simple a matter as tone production. Therefore, apart from all art considerations, merely as a matter of health, one can earnestly say to the healthy, Sing ! that you may remain so, " and to the weakly, 'Sing that you may become strons." Relief for Lung Troubles. - .A Southern lady, having heard that there was peculiar virtue in a pillow made from pine straw, and having none of that material at hand, made one from fine, soft pine shavings, and had the pleasure of noting immediate, benefit. , Soon all the members of the household had pine shaving pillows, and it was noticed that all coughs, asthmatic or bronchial troubles abated at once after sleeping a few nights on these pillows.. An invalid suffering with lung trouble derived much benefit from sleeping upon a mattress made from pine shavings. The material is cheap and makes a very, pleasant and comfortable mattress, the odor, of the pine permeating the entire room and ab sorbing or dispelling all , unpleasant odors. A correspondent of the BaltimoreMan ufacturers' Record plant has a fiber better suited for making baggiDg for cotton bales than jute, and that it can be more easily worked. It is stated that over 15,000 horses are slaughtered for food every year in Paris, and of this quantity two-thirds are used for sausages. Hark, the sound of many voices Jubilant in gladest s jny. And full many a heart rejoices As the chorus floats along: " Hail the Favorite Prescription." How the happy voices blend. . Wonderful beyond description r,r Woman's befit and truest frind.M Well may it be called woman's best frisnd. since it does for her what no other remedy has been able to do. It cures all those delicate de rangements and weaknesses peculiar to fe males. Cures them, understand. Other pre parations may afford temporary relief, but Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription effects a perma nent cure. It is guaranteed to do this, or the money paid for it will .be promptly refunded. It is the great remedy of the age. The worst Nasal Catarrh, no matter of how lOng standing, is permanently cured by Dr. feag's Catarrh Remedy. He who tells a lie is not sensible of how great a, task he undertakes ; for he must be forced to invent twenty more to maintain one. k "Not enjoyment and not sorrow Is our destined end or way ; But to act that each to-morrow-Find us f artlier than to-rday." The sentiment so aptly expressed by the poet ought to sound like a.trumpet to every slug gish soul, and animate them to new and vig orous efforts to improve their condition. To all those who have the desire to press forward, but who are not sure of the way, we say, write to B. F.Johnson & Co., Richmond, Va., and they will be of service to you, "Lucy IltBtop." Hark ! .the sound of many voices, Jubilant in gladdest song, . And full niany a heart rejoices As the chorus floats along : "Hail the Queen of all Tobaccos I" How the happy voices blend, "Finest and purest among her fellows ; Man's staunch and true friend." - OrejfOn, the Paradise f Farmers.
