HAKCHETT, of Tecomaeh, writes: 4,If the cows are milked a few days be­ fore they come in," •when the udder be­ comes reasonably full, I do not think they will be troubled with milk fever. Such, at least, has been my experience." MOST of the diseases of cattle are caused by wrong treatment--too much feed at one time; too little at another; too rich at one time; tod poor at an­ other, etc. If all cattle and horses were fed, nod watered, and used properly, there-would be little disease. To-CESAXt cistern water, add two ounces powdered alum and too ounces borax to a twenty-barrel cistern of rain­ water tlmt is blackened or oily, and in a few hours the sediment will settle and the water be clarified and fit for wash­ ing, and even for cooking purposes. ME. J. M. ANDERS, in the American Naturalist, shows that the transpiration from plants has an appreciable influence in modifying the humidity of ttfe air of a room. This is a thing that has been well known, and to exactly the quality of water given the plants and pots, less that stored in the growing plants them­ selves. This is not all the value plants * have. The leaves furnish oxygen, and the blossoms, as well as the foliage, are beautiful objects, as refreshing to the sense as they are pleasant to behold. HORSES should be watered in the morning before they are f&L A full drink of water immediately after being fed is a sure way of producing indiges­ tion, if not inflammation. When water is drunk by horses, the bulk of it goes directly to £he large intestines, and lit­ tle of it is retained in the stomach. Some old and worthless horses, by way of experiment, were fed with split peas, and then supplied with water imme­ diately before being killed. It was found that the water had carried the peas from fifty to sixty feet into the in­ testines, where no digestion took place at all. • THE warm days of. spring are evident­ ly at hand, but do not think it therefore necessary to immediately remove the covering of straw or boughs from plants thus protected for the winter. No more dangerous period exists for plants than during the freezing and thawing ordeal of early spring when the sun is power­ ful and the nights are cold. The chief endeavor at such times should be to re­ tain frost in the ground about the plants as late^ap possible, and at the same time to keep the leaves sheltered from the warm sun while the cold nights last. Better retain the covering far into April than remove it too soon.--Rural New Yorker. AT the recent meeting of the Lyon County (Kan.) Horticultural Society, at Emporia, for a market orchard of 500 ttees, for Central and Southern Kansas, t was recommended to plant 100 Ben Davis, 100 Genet, 50 Willow Twig, 50 Jonathan, 50 Rome Beauty, 50 Missouri ippin, 50 Winesap, 50 McAfee's None- rach. For amateur use and local mar- ets, Downer's Prolific and Charles ) owning strawberries were recommend- d, and Capt. Jack for a very late ber- No other grape than Concord was vised, and no cherries except the Mo- ello family. None •'but the Chicasa 'amily of plums were considered valu- ,ble, and pears except to be planted in ,n amateur way. THE farmer's busy season is now near ,t hand, and with the opening of spring res of little jobs will demand h|s at­ tention. One that is by no means of ferior importance, though generally o considered, is the planting of orna- ental trees and shrubbery around the ouse. Jf you feel that you cannot are the time and the little sum it ould cost to have your place regularly id out, though we would advise such a , then plant, at least, some trees. rScure a few Norway spruces, hard aples, American lihden, and other ees of rapid growth and handsome •rm, and plant them around your ome. In after years, when you leis- ety enjoy the seolusion and shade ey afford, you will feel richly repaid r the trouble.--Moore's Sural, Domestic Economy. SUPERIOR INDIAN CAKE.--Take two of Indian meal, one table-spoonful i jaolasses, two cups of sweet milk, a |ttle salt, a handful of flour, and a little Jeratus, * CREAM PANCAKES.--Mix the yelks of ro eggs, well beaten, with a pint of earn, two ounces of sifted sugar, a lit- |e nutmeg, cinnamon and mace. Rub ie with a bit of butter, and fry the icakes thin. | FRIED OYSTERS.--After they axe pre­ yed from the shell, they are dipped in atter made of eggs and crumbs, sea- fned with nutmeg, mace and salt (or iy seasoning preferred); stir up welL Iry in lard till brown. 1 COTTAGE PUDDING.--Bake to a cream Je large cupful of sugar, and two and [half table-spoonfuls of lard and butter jixed. gtir in one well-beaten egg, one rge cup of buttermilk with soda dis- bJved in it. Add nutmeg to the teste. v " Take one pint of flour and rub into it* dry, two table-spoonfuls cream of tartar. Then add the other ingredients. Bake three-quarters of an hour and serve with wine sauce. BREAKFAST CAKE.--Take some rice ftiat has been boiled soft, twice as much flour as rice, a little fine Indian meal, and a little yeast. Mix it with cold water, and let it rise over night. This will make a very fine biscuit for break­ fast. APPLE JELLY.--A very nice, firm, rich jelly may be made from the parings of apples and the cores. Cover them with water, and let them boil until the water has wasted a little and the apple skins are very soft; then strain them, and add an equal quantity of sugar as there is liquid. A little lemon* juice, a few cloves and some ginger improve the jelly. CUP CAKE.--Mix three teacups of sugar with one and a half of butter; when white, beat three eggs, and stir them into the butter and sugpr, together with three teacups of sifted flour, and rose- water or essence of lemon to the taste. Dissolve a teaspoonful of saleratus in a teacup of milk, strain it into the cake, then add three more teacups of sifted flour. Bake the cake immediately, either in cups or pans. PRUNE PEE.--Wash the prunes through several waters. Put in a pre­ serving kettle in the proportion of two pounds fruit to one pound sugar. Pour a quantity of boiling water over them and let them boil at least two hours. When they are thoroughly done and the sirup thickens, take from the fire and pour into tin plates, lined with paste. Add one teaspoonful of butter. Cover with a rich paste and bake. HOOD ALSTON'S UNHAPPY FATE. Hood Alston committed suicide in New Orleans after writing a full expla­ nation of why he wished to die. He had been an able writer for newspapers in many of the large cities. His habits had been those of a gentleman, and his death, in the absence of the letter that he left, would have been inexplicable. He was struck on the head by a piece of shell at Gettysburg, and afterward was affected by brief aberrations of mind, during which he felt an uncontrollable desire to go away from his friends. He was in the Interior Department in Washington, but left the position and roved to Montana. Two years later he was in California, where he became Secretary of a milling company, and thought that he was recovering from his malady, but subsequently grew worse. ¥ It never led me into crime," he said, " but# would impel me to get away from those that loved me. I have often found myself walking in a wilderness, not knowing where I was going. On wak­ ing I was cunning enough to find out where I was without betraying my great Secret." He married, and had every requisite for domestic happiness. "Last November," he continued, "my disease assumed another form. I became pos­ sessed of an impulse to kill my friends. I could hardly resist an opportunity. The desire would last but for a moment and pass away. An infant was born to us two months ago. I loved it, was proud of it. When it first looked upon me the desire seized upon me to prey upon its young life. My friends seemed to have been ignorant of my mental condition. I imparted it to no one, not even my darling wife. I die that others may live. Do I fear to die? No. Feeling, as I do, that if I lived others may die by my hand, I lay down my life with fortitude. I have stiuggled for months to keep my hands off my best friends." Alston also wrote a ten­ der message to his wife, and made the preparations very deliberately for poi­ soning himself. DEEP MINKS. The deepest mine in the world now worked is said to be the Adalbert lead rid silver mine in Austria, which is 3,280 feet deep. The next is the Vivien coal mine in Belgium, 2,837 feet. It was sunk to the depth of 3,586 feet, but, no coal having been found, the working is at the former level; The deepest coal mines in England are the Dunkirk col­ liery in Lancashire, 2,824 feet, and the Bosebridge in the same locality, 2,458. The deepest mine in this country is the Yellcw Jacket of the Comstock lode. It is now 2,500 feet below the surface of the mouth of the main shaft, and 2,933 feet below the Gould & Curry crop- pings. The Savage stands second on the list, and the Imperial the third, both being nearly as deep as the Yellow Jacket. ARTIFICIAL TEETH. Artificial teeth were manufactured in China centuries before they were pro­ duced in Europe. The material used is bone or ivory, and the tooth, having been sawed and filed into proper shape, is fastened to the adjoining teeth by copper wire or catght string. If two or more teeth are required, they are made in one piece, and, a hole being drilled through the entire length, a double, wire is passed through it and looped over the natural tooth at one end and tied to the teeth at the other. A LAND Or TITLES. A friend in Kansas City, Ma, far* nishes the following: One of our railroad officials residing at Kansas City takes a deep interest in Sunday-schools. Besides superintend­ ing a large school, he frequently at­ tends conventions and institutes in our neighboring State, Kansas. Some time since he was called upon to address a convention, and after he sat down a gentleman arose and said,. "I would like to ask the Colonel a question." " Certainly,* h« replied; "but not ' ̂olonel/ if you please." " Well, Major, then." " Nil, not even a Major." " Well, Captain, then; you must be a Captain." , " No, sir, not a Captain." " Well, now, Mr. President, 1 Wish to ask the Colonel this question: Don't you live in Missouri? * "Yes, sir." " And ina house?" " Of course I do." " With chimneys?* "Certainly." . " How many, please?" " Two, I think." " Then, Mr. President, I knew I was right at first. You see, IVe lived in Missouri, and know how it is myself. Over there, sir, if a man has three chimneys on his house, he's a General; if two, he's a Colonel; if only one, he's a Major; and if he lives in a dug-out and has no chimney, he's a Captain, anyhow. So you see I was right af­ ter all."--Editor's Drawer, Harper for April. : EXAMPLES abound of great men being a prey to despondency on the eve of that tide in their affairs which is to bear them on to fortune. Wellington was only prevented leaving the army by be­ ing refused a Commissionership of Ex­ cise in Ireland, and Bismarck wrote from St. Petersburg in March, 1861: "For the rest I have reconciled myself with life here, do not find the winter at alias bad as I thought, and ask no change in my position until, if it be God's will, I retire to Schonhausen or Beinfeld to set the carpenter at my coffin without unnecessary haste." IWtlU Mgirtrt Imperfectly nourishes the system, since it is only partially assimilated by the blood. Pale, haggard mortals, with dyspeptic stomachs, im­ poverished circulation ana weak nerves, expe­ rience a marked and rapid improvement in their physical condition by availing themselves of that sure resource of the sick ana debilitated, Hostotter's Stomach Bitters. This genial tonic and alterative lends an impetus to the processes of digestion which insures an adequate devel­ opment of the materials of blood, fiber, and muscular tissue. Moreover, it soothes and s'<rcngtliens overwrought or weak nerves, coun­ teracts a tendency to hypochondria or despond ency, to winch dyspeptic and bilious persons are peculiarly liable, and is an agreeable and wholesome appetizer and promoter of repose. The infirmities of age, and of delicate female constitutions, are greatly relieved by it; and it is a reliable preventive of, and remedy for, ma­ larial fevers. _ _ % , A Word to Doubter*. There is a good old English maxim that teaches us to believe every man honest until we know him to be a villain." American cus­ tom seems to have reversed this law and ap­ pears to make every man a villain until he has proved himself an honest man. As with peo­ ple, so with things. Every article placed in our markets can lay claim to popular favor upon intrinsic merit and value alone. Con­ tinued popularity, therefore, is proof positive of intrinsic excellence. Dr. Pierce's Family Remedies are far more popular to-day than ever before. The people have tested them and know them to be genuine remedies for the dis­ eases they are recommended to cure. The Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pel­ lets are the beat alterative, tonic, and cathartic remedies that can be used in chronic diseases of the stomach and liver. The world-wide popularity of the Favorite Prescriptions as a never-failing remedy for Female Diseases, would have atone secured to its discoverer the fame he lias so richly won. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, of which Dr. Pierce is also proprie­ tor, is recommended by those who have tested its virtues as a safe and reliable remedy for ca­ tarrh tn its worst forms. PERFECT purity is restored to the circulation when contaminated, if SCOVILL'B BLOOD AND LIVER STKUP is taken. Scrofulous, rheumatio and mercurial disorders are completely van­ quished by it, persistence in the use of the remedy being alone required to accomplish a cure. Eruptions of all kinds, sores, chronio rheumatism, gout, liver complaint and goitre yield to its remedial action, and it not only Enrifies the blood, but viudue* Um> syatenu old by all druggists.
