Get them out of the way so the sows will have an­ other litter before it is too late in the fall. Late fall pigs axe the next thing to perfectly worthless. PABCHES COBN FOB FOUUTBI.'--An ex­ perienced farmer burns com far his paal- .... toy. Says he learu.p4 that wtei esHf- loads of burnt corn was sold here after the burning of an immense warehouse. ' His hens never laid so well before that winter of 1873.--Country Gentleman. " THE comb is the hen's pulso. If that be strong and bright, and of a good color itid full of blood, shaking with every quick movement of the bird in the combed Varieties, the bird is in normal health, and in a laying condition. When the nan of the comb and wattles have a pur­ plish tinge, the bird is not well. A KICKING HEIFER.--A year ago last January, we had a heifer drop her first <5*lf. I tised to let her into the pen and nyjlV one side, while the calf sucked the other. When we weaned the calf, she Mcked. I took a strap and buckled it round her belly just front of the udder. Buckle it tight, then, if she kicks, buckle it tighter. I did not have to do it but a few days. Cows that are gentle will sometimes kick if one commences milk­ ing a full stream, but would not if we be­ gan slow.--Cor. N. E. Farmer. ARTICHOKES FOR FOOD.--The value of artichokes as food for stock compares very favorably with other roots, accord­ ing to tests made in both this country and in Europe. In the report of the Department of Agriculture for 1865 the relative value of the roots named is as follows: Flesh Fat Farmers. Former*. Potatoes......... 14 189 Carrots 6 66 Parsnipfl 18 70 Marigolds A 102 Sugar beets • 136 White turnips...........-I 40 Artichokes 10 188 It appears from the above table that • the carbonaceous or heat-producing prin­ ciple in the artichoke is surpassed only by the potato, and that by only a single point, while the potato and the parsnip, only, among the roots mentioned, exceed it as a flesh former. A GOOD COW.--I have a cow now that gave in one week, commencing March 15,239 pounds of milk, which made four­ teen pounds and three ounces of good butter. This cow was fed six quarts daily of grain. Two quarts each of corn meiy. and oat meal, and two quarts of un- ground oats, were mixed well, and three quarts given in the morning and three quarts in the evening. She was fed all the clover hay she would eat up clean. The hay was very coarse, but had been cut ancl cured early. I bought this cow one year age for $60. She is apparently a grade shoxt-horn. She only went dry- two or three weeks. I have thirteen oows, and this one gives the richest milk by far of any.--H. F. H.t in Country Gentleman. COBX FODDER.--A writer on growing com to be fed green says: "One dairy farmer who has 100 dairy cows said that he wanted his corn grown so as to pro­ duce the greatest quantity of ears possi­ ble for the purpose of feeding his cows, and to increase their daily flow of milk; and, from numerous letters received from farmers in different sections of the country the past fall, there is no doubt that very many farmers will make the experiment the coming season with swat corn, growing it in such manner as to produce ears as well as fodder, all to be used in the feeding of farm stock the coming summer and fall, and from such experiments muqh knowledge may be gained." The large free-growing varie­ ties of sweet corn are best le* this pur­ pose.--Exchange. About the How* A TACK IN SEASON.--If the corner of a carpet gets loose, prevents the door open, ing, or trips every one that enters the room, nail it down at once. A dog's- eared carpet marks the sloven as well as the dog's-eared book.' How TO CiiEAN OIL CIXYRHA.--If you wish to have them look new and nice, wash them with soft flannel and luke­ warm water, and wipe perfectly dry. If vou want them to !co!r ext?1?. nice, after they are wiped drop a lew spoonf uls of milk over them, ana rub them drywith a cloth. MUFFIN&--Beat two eggs with one- half cup of sugar, one generous table- spoonful of butter, and a little salt; add one and a half cups of sweet milk, and three cups of flour in which is sifted three teaspoonfuls of good baking pow­ der. Beat well and bake in buttered muffin-tins. CORN BREAD.--Mix two cups of sifted corn-meal with two cups of sour milk; add one table-spoonful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one table-spoonful of melted butter or shortening, and one egg. Beat well, and lastly add one-half teaspoon of soda dissolved in one table- spoonful of boiling water. Bake in a quick oven. A LADY who is very successful in rais­ ing poultry says when the wings of her little turkeys begin to lop down, and they look sick and weak, she pulls out the longest feathers on each wing, and they are all right in a few hours. She very seldom loses any, and she has tried it for years. If it is so, it is worth know­ ing and practicing. GERMAN "WIND-BAGS."--To five ounces of butter add one-quarter pint of water, and boil; add gradually, while on the fire, six ounces of flour, three eggs, and one spoonful of sugar; stir very briskly for ten minutes, then take the paste and put by spoonfuls in but­ tered tins, sprinkle with powdered sugar, bake fifteen minutes and serve. SOFT GINGERBREAD--Put one cup of dark molasses, one-half cup of brown sugar, and one-half cup of butter (or part butter and part lard) into a pan and set it where it will just come to a boil. Cool, and add one teaspoonful of ginger, one-half of salt, and one egg. Stir in • one-half cup of sour milk and two andga half cups of flour; beat well, and last of all ada two oven teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in one-third cupful of hot water. Bake in moderate oven until well done. Suicide with a Cannon. Alfred Band, of Boston, a promising young man of 26 years, and a recent graduate of Harvard College, committed .*/: , • suicide in a singular manner the other day. He purchased a small cannon, took it to his room, loaded it, and, hav­ ing applied a slow match to it, laid down upon the floor, placing his head at the mouth of the cannon. The result was +W. a portion of his head was blown off. t TRADE ts CEREALS. Urn total Production of Europ® -- -The Crupi Riiu iinpOrtS wi 18<0--1 11© PTOD- •Hie TW-IBWI! for Asiericas Prodaete, Aocorumg io very careiui statistical exhibit recently made by the French Government, the total cereal production of Europe amounts at present to an av­ erage of 4,994,000,000 bushels per an­ num. Of this Russia alone furnishes 1,606,000,000 bushels, or nearly one- third of the whole; Germany, 742,500,000 bushels; France, 687,500,000 bushels: and Austria, 550,0U0,000 bushels. The production of this country is set down at 1,537,250,000 bushels, or 39} bushels to each inhabitant, while Europe, with a population of 297,000.000, produces only about 161 bushels per head. The fol­ lowing table gives the amount of cereals per inhabitant produced by the various States of Europe: Bushel*,] Roiinianiia... i. S9.€(>' Ireland.... Denmark;. Russia..... Prussia, France ....

Belgium 13.47 j Italy.. Spain .......13.471Portugal.... ...... Austria 12.91 j Switzerland.......... 6.76 Wurtemberg 12.91; According to the most moderate esti­ mate, the average quantity of cereal ne­ cessary for the consumption of each in­ habitant is 14 9-10 bushels per annum, and, therefore, all the states that come after Sweden upon the list have to obtain grain supplies from other countries. In this country three-fifths of the cereal production consists of corn. In Europe oats predominate, and next in quantity come wheat,{ rye, barley, and corn. Rus­ sia, Prussia, and France produce large wheat crops, and the two first are our largest competitors in the English mar­ ket. In Boumania and Servia corn takes the first rank. Prior to 1860 Russia and Prussia led the United States in the sup­ ply of wheat. From 1859 to 1861 the exports of wheat from this. country to England sprung suddenly up from 340,- 504 cwt to 15,610,472 cwt. while in the same period Russia advanced only from 3,837,454 cwt to 4,567,483 cwt, and Prus­ sia from 3,345,301 cwt to 4,462,573 cwt. The lead taken so suddenly by this coun­ try has ever since been maintained. Tables covering the years from 1860 to 1872 show that the United States sup­ plied England during that period with 28.5 per cent, of her total imports of wheat, including flour, against 24.7 per cent, from Russia and 17.2 percent, from Germany. In the same period England imported 43 per cent, of her total impor­ tations of corn from this country. In 1852 the exports of corn of this country to Groat Britain only amounted to 1,341,- 304 bushels, against 1,795,632 bushels from Turkey and Roumania, and 1,870,- 528 bushels from Russia. At present Roumania and Southern Russia, to a les­ ser degree, are our principal competitors in the supply of corn. The year 1876 was a good harvest year in England; prices were low, and the total imports of wheat were only 44,394,152 cwt, against 51,886,393 cwt in 1875. The following tatle gives the source of supply : Percent. Cwt. of all. CHEAPER SEWING MACHINES.

Canadian exports of grain are included in those of this country. It will be seen that Rus­ sia and Turkey have furnished 22.6 per cent, of the supplies to England. In India a dearth prevails this year. Egypt being subject to the suzerainty of the Porte, will be affected by the war, and whether the war is localized or whether it draws into it the other Eu­ ropean powers it is evident that the de­ mand for American breadstuSs will be iucreased in the neighborhood of 25 per cent, in case of the outting off of the .Rnssi&n and Turkish . supplies from market by a prolonged war. Italy im­ ports very largely from Odessa, on the Black sea, and war will also create an active demand for our* breadstuff's in Mediterranean ports. In this -country the visible supply of wheat is only about one-half what it was this time last year, and if the Russian supply is cut off from the English market the supply of wheat until the next harvest will be very scant, and prices necessarily high. This will tend to make a good market for corn, of which there is in this country more than twice the quantity in store than there was this time last year, al­ though the exports to England have been larger than last year. While much depends upon the area of hostilities and the length of the war, it is the opinion of statisticians that the Eastern war cannot fail to create an extraordinary demand for our breadstuffs. How to Win a DlvorceSott. The following skeleton of an argument Was found on a table in the Circuit Court room, supposed to have been left by a distinguised legal luminary engaged in a recent divorce case: 1. Importance of the case. 2. The parties; their great dignity. 3. The great questions of our modern civilization; the rights of husband and wife, their duties to each other. 4. The marriage vow; its sacredness. 5. Touch up the court on the solemn duty imposed upon it in tearing from the husband the property which God gave him title.to, viz., the body, soul, and af­ fections of his wife. 6. Excoriate the wife, picture the wrongs of the husband; move the court to tears (if possible); quote from Milton: " Till Hymen brought in love-delighted hour, there dwelt no joy in Eden's rosy bower," etc. (not sure about that being from Milton, may be from Pope or Walt Whitman; but no matter); cite author­ ities--Greenleaf, Bishop, and 21 Mo.

Expiration of the Batchelder Needle Patent --Knd of the Sewing-Machine Monopoly •nd a Tumble in the Price of Machines. The last of a series of patents on the construction of sewing machines has just expired, by which a powerful combina­ tion was enabled to control the manufact­ ure as a monopoly, and extort from the public price* wliiCu liSVS been two Or uirBO times >MuCb sb ]iflvp yi^ldsd ft fnir profit OS the COSt- of the 2BE6- chines. There are still other patents, of course,applying to certain improvements, but it is believed that, with the expira­ tion of the Batchelder needle patent, there are none left which cover the es­ sentials of the sewing machine and en­ able the combination to levy exorbitant tribute upon the manufacture thereof. This combination consisted of the Wheeler & Wilson, Singer, and Grover & Baker companies, which had possessed themselves of all the essential patents, and have been exacting royalties on the various parts of every machine made. These royalties amounted to so much in the bulk that machines which did not cost more than $10 (we give an outside figure) have been sold for $60, and so on in proportion. The price charged for machines has ranged three times as high as they have teen sold for in England, where no royalties could be exacted, after being manufactured in this coun­ try and sustaining all the expense of transportation, handling, insurance, and the profits of middle-men. A large part of this excessive profit went to the own­ ers of the- patents, but the existence of the patents and combination to keep up the prices also enabled the outside man­ ufacturers and agents to charge up profits for themselves Which were pro­ portionately exorbitant. The hopeful­ ness of the future is that, when the gen­ eral principles of the sewing machines are free to all, com­ petition will set in which will prevent the exaction of more than a rea­ sonable profit. It will not be surpris­ ing, therefore, if within a few weeks ma­ chines can be bought for $20 which have heretofore sold for $60 ; indeed, it is an­ nounced that one of the leading compa­ nies has declared its intention of selling the $60 machines at once for $30 cash, and the rate will henceforth be down­ ward. This is good news for the thousands of seamstresses through the country, and good news for the thousands of poor families that never could hope to have a sewing machine in the house at the old rate. It will make bread and meat come easier, and there will be more of it for the same amount of labor. The sewing- woman can buy a machine on time for $20 with reasonable hope of paying for it, while heretofore women who have paid out that amount of money to start with have toiled day and night to make headway on the $40 or $50 unpaid, onlv t® lose their machine and the money al­ ready paid in the end. Thus far the sewing mooliine has been mainly bene­ ficial to those who were not especially in need of its beneficence. It has put money by the millions into the pockets of the men wiio manufactured it; it has enriched many of the agents and middle­ men who have handled it; it has en­ larged the business and profits of the clothing, boot and shoe, and other man­ ufacturers using it. But it will first be­ came a real blessing to the poor when it shall be relieved of its exclusive roy­ alties and extortions, and can be obtained by women and families at a price yield­ ing only a fair profit on the cost of man­ ufacture. Thenceforward the poor woman or family that can obtain a sew­ ing machine will be able to save its cost every year in time, labor, and money, and the cost will come within the possi­ ble means of almost every prudent and industrious person who can use such a machine to advantage. Important Supreme Court Decisions. Railroad Taxation.--Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company VB. Common­ wealth of Virginia, and four other cases. Error to the Court of Appeals of Virgin­ ia. In these cases the court affirms the udgment of the Court of Appeals of the itate, holding that a true construction of the laws in relation to the road does not warrant the conclusion that the property of the company is exempt from taxation as claixiicJ by iL" ^ A* io Express Express Company vs. Dickson. Error to the Circuit Court for Alabama. In this case the court holds that where goods are shipped by an express com­ pany for a destination they cannot be de­ livered, at any other place without the consent of the consignor or owner, and it makes no difference that they are claimed by one of the consignees at the place of consignment. What Constitutes Insurance.--Eames et al. vs. Home Insurance Company. Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Southern District of Illinois. It is here held that where an application for insur­ ance had been made in due form, the property to be insured being fully de­ scribed, the amount of insurance named, and the rate of premium agreed upon, and there being no question about any other point in the contract, nothing re­ maining to be done but to issue the pol­ icy, the contract of insurance was per­ fected, the risk taken, and in case of loss by fire the company is liable. A Town's Responsibility.--Town of East Lincoln vs. Chas. Davenport. Ap- ?eal from Southern District of Illinois, 'he question in this case was as to the legality of certain bonds issued by the town of East Lincoln. It was shown that the plaintiff, who was the bona fide own­ er of coupons, sued upon the question of the former's irregularity. Misconduct upon the part of agents cannot be con­ sidered. The Supervisor who signed the bonds at midnight and absconded to avoid an injunction, was agent of the town, and it must bear his misconduct. He is the one in authority. The town levies a subscription to these bonds. The bonds recite that they were issued in accordance with a town election. A majority of the whole attended and voted in favor of the subscription of $60,000. The statute is construed as wmiring t.hia acta subscription. x Why are the proprietors of a perfume manufactory like the mint in Philadel­ phia ? Because they make (s)cents there.
