Take two ounces of common soda, one of pumice 3tone,and,one of finely-powdered chalk; ift them through a"Rno sieve and mix themwith water; then rub the mixture ''ell all over the marbld and the stains will be removed; now wash the marble over with soap ad water, and it will . be as clean as it was previous to its be- ing stained. Sometimes the marble is stained -yellow from iron rust; this. can be removed with lemon juice. Cooking Bice. Put into -the oven a' pan with rice and the requisite quart tity of water or milk, and keep it cook- ing till, done half an hour perhaps then turn it, without stirring, into a ' dish for the table. The rice grains, ' feathery as snow flakes, will be whole, and the skin which forms over the mass in the commencement of cooking and it can be stripped off before turning out the rice prevents the escape of the del- icate aroma of the rice, and you have a fine flavored food, in place of the pasty, insipid result of boiling and stirring.

I have kept many plants nicely all winter without any fire at night, in the following manner: Have inade, of wood or zinc, a tray of any size you' may need it about four inch- 'es deep, with a handle on either end, watertight paint it outside and in, . put in each corner a post as high as the tallest ot your plants, and it is ready for tise. Arrange your flower pots in it, and fill between them with sawdust; this absorbs the moisture falling from the plants when you water thtm, and retains the warmth acquired during thenar, keeping the temperature of the roots even. When you retire at up stakes" and removing from the "old night spread over the posts a blanket land marks." They have been stcad or. shawl, and there is no danger of ily accumulating as farmers and gath- their freezing. The tray can be placed on a stand or table and easily moved about. Cor. American arm Journal, TreatdaO Wounds. Every person Should know how to treat a flesh wound, . Every one is liable to be placed in cir- r , J cumsiances away iruin surgical auui veterinary aid, where he may save his .own life, the life of a friend or a beast, simply by the exercise of a little com- mon sense. In the first place, close the lips of the wound with the hands and hold them firmly together to check the flow of blood until several stitches can be taken and a bandage applied, Then bathe the wound a long time in cold water. "Should it be painful," a correspondent says, "take a panful of burnmg coals and sprinkle upon them common brown sugar and hold the wounded part in the smoke. In a min ute or two tho pain will be allayed, and the recovery proceeds rapidly. In my case a rusty nail had made a bad wound in my foot. The pain and nervous ir- ritation were severe. This was all re- moved by holding it in smoke fifteen minutes, and I was able to resume my rcadmgui comlort. We have olten recommended it to others with like re- suit. -Last week one of my men had a finger-nail torn out hy a pair of ice tongs. It became very painful, as was to be expected.

Eramo -together four light sticks, measuring exactly a foot square inside, and with this in hand walk into the field and select a spot of fair average yield, and lower the frame square over as many heads as it will inclose, and shell out the heads thus enclosed care- fully, and weigh the grain. It is fair to presume that, the proportion will be the 43,56Pth part of an acre's produce. To prove it, go through the field and make' ten or twelve similar calculations, and estimate by the mean of the whole number of results. It will certainly enable the farmer to make a closer cal- culation of what a field will produce than he can by guessing. Voting Man, Stick to It. There is a deal of regret expressed in speeches, letters to agricultural pa- pers, and in editorials by kind-hearted, well-intentionei editors, that the boys are leaving the farms. No doubt many young men have realized the fact that farm life is no harder than city life, Many have been wise enough to return to the farm after testing the realities of hfe in a city, liut the boys who leave the farm for the city or village follow the examples of older men. lne num ber ot well-to-do-tarmers who have re- alized beautiful homes, reached middle age and sold their farms, bought vil- lage or city lots ana seuieu on mem with a view of "taking things easier," is not a small one. These men do so yrith the same or similar motives with I which young men leave the farms, and Ithey are as often disappointed in 'the results. . I We know farmers, both young and old, who have abandoned profitable and beautiful homesteads, removed to the village, invested their capital in trade, got pretty thoroughly "cleaned out" in a business in which they had no practical experience, and haTe bouglitback their homesteads at an advanced price, running in debt to get possession of them, and workiug hard and contentedly to pay again for what they once possessed. Some of these men have said to us within the last two months, " a farmer is a fool who sells his farm thinking to have an easier and happier time in a village or city." The effect ot such reaction in the case of these examples upon those who stick to the farm is exceedingly wholesome. It renders them content. They have 1 not wasted their substance in "pulling ering about their homesteads all the modem appliances for the conservation of comfort and content. The farmer who "sticks to itf'is sure to win what city-made money rarely purchases in' dependence, happiness, and a sense of I . a-L- U -J? II security wmcn is uiu result ui ucu doing. Hural Neto Yorker. 1 Winter Work. One of the oldest and most extensive farmers in Vermillion county, Indiana I has experimented largely on destroying brush and briars, and on the methods of preventing sprouting after being cut, After extensive experiments, ho finds that by cutting under brush and briars in the winter, when the ground is fro- zen hard, say in January or i cbruary that they are most easily killed. They sprout some in the spring, but a little care in cutting them back for a year 'effectually destroys them, the roots rot and they disappear. The ground should be frozen hard when the first cutting is done. Cutting at such time brcaksandshiversthcstcmtothcground and although he has no lengthy theory on the subject, a thorough and practi cal test of the method proves it a good one. It has been tried on extensive areas of land. We also hear that in tho southern part of the State this method has been tried with success and those having tracts of land encum bcrcd with brambles and briars which they wish to make available, should try this method during the cold weather. We need liaidly add that one could keep warm at that kind of work. In mna fanner. Aslies K Food 1'or Cattle. The Live Stock Journal has a corres pendent who found his cattle given to . . ii i. tne nabitoi eating woou, cnewnig oones &c. They became thin in flesh, re- fused to eat hay and presented a sickly appearance, aic mm no impression that their food lacked the constituents for making boner and liw neighbors used bone-meal without noticing any good results whatever. At last, he put alKmt four bushels ot leached ashes in his barn yard, and threw out to them alxmt a shovelful each day. They all ate with evident relish. After turning them out to jasture, he put", one peck of dry ashe3 per "week on the ground in the. pasture : J. hey ate it all, and gnawed off the grass where it had been lying". The cattle began to improvej gaining flesh and looking better than they had lor several years. He says this morbid appearance was unnoticed years' ago, from the fact ttiaMhe ground was new anu asny irom tne purning oi the woods and land clearings. Since L 1 n . , -. - this discovery, ho gives one quart of ashes mixed with one quart-ot salt to twelve head ot cattle about once a week. Protecting Young Trees from Rub- Hits. , Of all the plans for the protection of I young orchards Irom rabbits, 1 hnd nothing that so well agrees with my own experience and judgment as the following: Mix soft soap and the flour of sulphur to tho consistency of a thick" paste, and -apply onco or twice during the-winter with a brush. The other, which is by all means the best, is to take a piece of common build-1 mg paper, about eighteen inches in height aud ten or twelve wide, and bend it loosely around the tree, and tack it with a shingle tack near the cen ter, and the.work is done m the most effective manner. Common building feltwilL nlso do. Before putting the paper around the tree, it should be ex amined for horera. Tlie- pnper will probably retain its position for two or I three years. It will also afford a good I protection to trees that have been set out during the falL Cor. Rural World. l'onnder. Founder is an iuflamation of the parts between the crust, or wall, and the coffin bone, including the lamina:, whence the namo by which it "is now distinguished (lamintis). The com mon cause of founder is drinking cold water when exhausted or fatigued by long continued exertion; but excess ive exertion alone will, and olten does, produce acute founder, and is at ali times the predisposing cause of this dis ease. The treatment should be by first removing the shoes. Next give a mild dose of physic. The feet should be kept constantly wet by tying a piece of felt or flannel around each pastern, and allowing it to fall over tho hoof, where it is to be constantly wetted with mixture composed of water, two parts; alcohol one part. Or let the feet be kept moist by poultice, two Earis uran, wun one pari on meai. ong rest in a roomy, loose box, tho floor covered with tan or sawdust, is necessary to perfect recovery.

" MAGNIFICAKT CONCEPTION WON DERFULLY CARRIED OUT. The necessity of a popular medium for tho representation of the productions of our great artisu nas always oeeir recognized, ana many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which have so invariably lish an art iournal. did not crave tha indiffM. followed eacn attempt in mis country to estab I enee of the people of America to the claims of Ihlzhart. So soon as a proper appreciation of . . .... . V : 1 ? 4 . . f. 1 the publia at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a rreat artistia and cviuminUI triumph THE ALDINE. JCno Aldlne wniie Issued witn all of the regu larity, has none of the temporary or (lately in terests characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, lizbt. and graceful literature, and a collection of pictures , tha rarest collection of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeeding number affords sfresh pleas uro to its friends, the real' value and beauty o! TheAldine will be most' appreciated after it is bound up at the elosa of. tnevear. wnilo otner publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared wth rivals of a similar class. The Aldlne is a unique and original conception alone and unapproached absolutely witnout competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete vol ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine pa per and engravings in any other shape or num ber of volumes, for ten lima if ml: and Lie. there U tlie eAromo, letidet! The national feature Of Tne Aldine must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmo politan. While The Aldlne Is a strictly Ameri- ran institution, it aoes Dot connne itseii to ins peproduction of native art. It mission Is to cultivate a broad and -appreciative, art taste, on tnat will uiscriminare on grounds oi intrlnslo merit. Thus, while pleading before the patron of The Aldlne, as a leading characteristic, the productions ol the most noted American artists, attention will always bo given to specimens from foreign masters, giving subscribers all tha pleasure and Instruction obtainable from horns or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery. original with The Aldine is an important fea ture, and its magnificent plates are of a' size moro appropriate to lne satislaetory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page.
