HOME, FARM AND GARDE).
Before filling up vacant places in
the orchard with young, trees, it is best
to think whether the full-grown trees
now standing will not, with good man
uring, bring more fruit than a larger
number would. Most of our orchards
were planted too closely, and the tree
roots interlace so as to rob each other
of what fertility each should have.
Although butter alone is nearly in
digestible, 3-et the relish that good but
ter imparts to bread makes it more
healthful than the bread alone would be.
The human stomach will digest almost
anything that is eaten with a relish,
though scared- anything that is not.
Tiiis is a point which the objectors
against the use of butter should care
fully note.
Mr. T. Greiner, in the Farm and
Garden, says that the easiest and quick
est way to destroy the weeds that gen
erally start about the time when the
potatoes are up so that the rows can be
seen plainly is by a thorough use of
harrow or drag. He places great em
phasis upon this, and deems it far more
ffiective than the cultivator and hoe, at
less expense.
The pudding which should invariably
accompany a boiled dinner to the table
is made in this way: One pint of
sweet or sour milk, two teacups of corn
meal, sifted: one teaspoonful of soda,
dissolved in hot water; add two slices of
stale cake, crumbled very fine and
mixed with the meal; boil for three
hours in a bag: serve with a common
feour pudding sauce.
Western corn-growers persist in
planting corn after corn. The result is
that they have bred a worm which eats
the roots, and which lives in the ground
from year to year. As it is not migra
tory, its existence depends on having
corn planted on the same iield in suc
cession. Good husbandry, which de
mands rotation of crops, will therefore
rid farmers of this pest.
C. H. Johnson tells Wm Fruit Grower
that br going carefully over the ground
several times each season and burning
all plants showing raspberry rust he has
succeeded to such an extent that no
more than half a dozen cases of the dis
ease appeared last year in the whole of
Lis three acres devoted to this fruit,
while another, at some distance, "lost
almost his entire stock without knowing
the cause.1'
The practice of some of the best
farmers now is to keep pigs through the
summer on green food, cut and carried
to the pens, with a little grain, and
what milk can be spared after butter
making. Spring pigs are thus made to
weigh two hundred pounds at seven
months old, and, except in the last
month, they get little grain. The best
time to sell such pigs is at the begin
ning of cold weather, usually in October.
Topnoody.
It was Monday evening, and Top
noody unfolded his paper and began
reading to his wife of Wijnrins.
"Who's Wiggins?" she asked.
"Don't you know who Wiggins is?"
"If I had I wouldn't have asked
you."
"Well, Wiggins is the party who
predicted that a great storm was com
ing." "And did it come?"
"No, my dear."
"He isn't as good as I am, is he?"
"In what way, my dear?"
"As a prophet, of course."
"How, my dear?"
"Why, I told you this morning if you
didn't order that load of coal up before
live o'clock there would be a storm
when you came home, and it didn't
come until after I went after it, and I
:m just tell you. Topnoody, if you
don't pay more attention to the house
and stop forgetting things, and wearing
my life out. and loinr- all you can to
add to my burdens, and neglecting your
household obligations in every- way.
and doing even-thing you shouldn't do
when you know X want you to do some
thingl Avant you to do when' I want
you do it, just because you think I am a
wpman, and can't take, my own part
jus,t thesame as if I was a man, and
could do just as I pleased, ,and "
But' Mr. Topnoody dropped his pa
per, and making a grab for his umbrel
la, withdrew, and went down town te
talk over the weather with the boys. .
The Drummer.
Death of an Old Negress.
A correspondent from Woodburn
writes us of the death of old Aunt Sarah
Mallory, which took place last Monday,
the 26th, who is represented as the
oldest person in the count, or in the
State, at the time of her death. Her
age is placed at about 133 years. She
was brought from Virginia oj'Shradach
Vaugh in 1800, and was then in-her
forty-ninth year, and has lived in .the
neighborhood of Woodburn ever since..
She made the trip from this county to
Virginia, and return, three different
times on f oot.The last trip was made after
she was 100 years old. She was never
sick in her life, and even her death was
not preceded by any sickness; she
seemed merely to fall asleep, and died
without a struggle. Our correspondent
is a reliable gentleman of Woodburn.
Howling Green (Ky.) Democrat.
A student of the University of Ver
mont expects to become a raving ma
niac in the endeavor to find out why, if
biennial means once in two years, tri
ennial once in three years, and bi-weekly
once in two weeks, tri-weekly does
not mean once in three weeks.
A man in St. Tammany, La., treed
a wild-cat, and set lire to the under

away and burned forty panels of fence
for a neighbor, and the wild-cat got
awav also.
A hotel clerk named Briscoe,
Stumped his foot out in 'Frisco,
It hurt him like thunder,
But the pain was got under,
By St. Jacobs Oil rubbed on histoo.
A conductor who lives at Belair,
Got hurt, being thrown on a chair,
They took him away,
But in less than a day,
St. Jacobs Oil made him all square.
The attorney for a Maryland railroad
which killed a passenger last fall was try
ing to effect a cheap settlement with the
father of the victim, and finally said:
"Now, sir, was not your son almost dead
, with consumption?" "Yes, sir." "He
would have died anyhow within a month?"
"Yes, within a fortnight." "Then, why
do you demand .? 1,000 damages?" "Well,
theease is right here. If he had died at
home I should have got a .f20 coffin, had a
quiet funeral and put in three hours work
cutting corn the same afternoon.
Being he was killed away " from
home and the news spread around,
we had to keep dressed up for
four daj's, buy a K coffin, hire a regular
hearse, and feed and lodge over twenty re
lations who had no call to show their noses.
It's a damage of at least f500, and the other
half won't niore'n pay his debts and get a
headstone up." He got his money.

Mr. Jonathan Bowers of Blanchester,
O., writes : " I am 72 years of age. I keep
Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla
always in the house. A dose now and then
makes me feel like a boy. It gives me a
good appetite and keeps me from having
dyspepsia."
Style is the only frame to hold our
thoughts. It is like the sash of a window;
a heavy sash will obscure the light. Ed

As stages are quicTriy abandoned with
the completion of railroads, so the huge,
drastic, cathartic pills, composed of crude
and bulky medicines, are quickly abandon
ed with the introduction of Dr. Pierce's
" Pleasant Purgative Pellets," which are
sugar-coated, and little larger than mus
tard seeds, but composed of highly concen
trated vegetable extracts. By druggists.
Mr William Bush, living in Corsicana,
Texas, recently buried his wife and four

Dr. R. V. Pierce: Dear Sir Death was

relieved. I am now able to ride out.

A Druggist's Story.
Mr. Isaac C. Chapman, Druggist, New
burg, S. Y., writes us: "I have for the
past ten years sold several gross of Dr.
William Hall's Balsam for the Lungs.
I can say of it what I can not say of any
other medicine. I have never heard a cus
tomer speak of it but to praise its virtues in
the highest manner. I have recommended
it in a great many cases of Whooping Cough
with the happiest effects. I have used it in
my own family for many years ; in fact, al
ways have a bottle in the medicine closet
ready for use."

It is well enough for a physician to rec

the next thing is to secure the address of
a foundry engaged in its manufacture.
