AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC. The Uttle Browm Seed ta pT-' • :::' , A little brown seed in the furrow • Lay still In ite gloomy bed, yyyiy. While violets blue, and lilies white ' : Were whispering overhead. They whispered of glories I Of glittering dew and floating i Of beauty and rapture everywhere-- And the seed heard all they said. . Poor utile vnifu S66u iu the fufirOW I" ? Ho cfnsn to th» MHm' f«#»t So far away from the great, glad day,•' Where life seemed all complete! . In her heart tihe trranured every ' :'-i And she longed for the blessing of For the light that shone, and the airs that stirred In that land, so wondrous sweet 1 The little brown seed in the furrow Was thrilled with a atrange unrest A warm new hope boat tremblingly In the tiny, heaving breast; With her two small hands clasped close in p She lifted them up in the darkness there; Up, up through the ectl, tov.-urd sun 2nd air Her folded hands she pressed. i Oh little brown seed in the furrow, At last yon have pierced the mold I And, quivering with a life intense, Your beautiful leaves unfold, Like wings outspread for upward flight; And slowly, slowly, in dew and light, A sweet bud opens--till, in God's sight, You wear a crown of gold! . --Ida W. Dunham, in St. SichoUufor Jut*. Around the Farm. Experience teaches us that the locust cannot stand long-continued wet, cold weather in spring.--Kansas Advance. As early as the middle of June, sometimes before, we have practiced opening the hay harvest, and lhid when feeding that the earliest cut is preferred to the later by all the stock.--OAio Farmer. A horticulturist furnishes the fol­ lowing recipe to preserve all kiuds of grain from the ravages of cut-worms, birds, etc.: One pound sulphate of iron, one ounce aloes; dissolve in water heated to 90 or 95 degrees, and pour over one bushel of grain.--Ohio Farmer. The relative feeding value of man­ golds and swedes depends entirelv upon tbe soil and prevailing climate of a dis­ trict. In the South of England, warm soils, mangolds are superior in feeding qualities; im the northern counties, and on cold soils, especially where a good deal of rain falls during autumn, swedes are decidedly inferior to mangolds.-- Prof. VoelckeiW Letters. Tumors on Cows.--The usual cause of swellings on the knees and thighs of cows is lying upon an uneven hard sub­ stance. Jersey cows are more subject to it tlian others, probably from the fact that the skin is finer and more delicate than others. Remove the cause, and in most cases the tumors will disappear; bathing and friction will perhaps hasten the absorption.--Massachusetts Plow­ man. The best time to cut wheat is when it is in the dough state. The straw at this stage is yellow at the ground, and all the remainder is still green, but is fol­ lowed by a speedy change to yellow throughout the whole length as it ap­ proaches maturity. A large proportion of the wheat of the country is permitted to become too ripe before harvesting to secure the best results.--Journal oj Agriculture. A Scare-Crow.--A good way to keep crows from corn-fields is to string ten or fifteen kernels of corn on a long horse hair (from the tail), and a crow will swallow one of them, and the note of alarm will be sounded, and it will be im­ possible for him to dislodge the grain, and in a short time he will cut his own throat by scratching at the corn and hair ; and, in consequence of the noise the crow makes, all of his companions will leave the field and not pull up any more corn that season. White Holland Turkeys.--This va­ riety of turkeys is becoming more popu­ lar as the public becomes better acquaint­ ed with their excellent table qualities and beauty; for certainly a large, clean, healthy white turkey is as beautiful a fowl as anyone could wish to see. They are pure white in plumage, with pink legs, and of good size, though not so large as the bronze, and yet large enough for market; and we are told are as hardy, and stand our severe changes of temper­ ature in winter better than any other variety. The feathers are nearly equal to geese feathers for sale, and will bring almost as much if carefully selected, and the large feathers stripped. --Fom i try Journal and Record. Watering Gardens.--When the warm, sunny days come and our gardens look dry and parched, we are so strongly •tempted to use the watering pot that we frequently yield, and so injure the plants -that we are striving to benefit. If we attempt to water our flower-beds at all, we must do it thoroughly. Wait until after sunset, and then pour on water un­ til it seems ready to run off. Let this soak into the ground and then water again. Finally, spread freshly-cut grass over the beds ; this covering will tend to keep the ground soft and moist. The usual method of sprinkling the „ flower-beds slightly only tends to make the surface of the ground hard and dry, thus excluding air and moisture.-- Western Af/riculturist. A boat the Houae. Washing Carpets. -- Housekeepers may be glad to know that a table-spoon­ ful of ammonia in one gallon of warm water Mall restore the color of carpets. Lamp Smoke.--To prevent the smok­ ing of a lamp, soak the wick in strong vinegar and dry it well before using it. It will then burn clear and pleasant, and give much satisfaction for the trouble of preparing it. y How to Wash Lace.--To wash lace and make it look as good as new, dissolve some salts of tartar in hot water, and allow the lace to lie in it for an hour or so, then take it out, squeeze it dry, and the cleaning is complete. How to Use Land.--Lard for pastry may be used as hard as it can be cut with a knife, and will make far better paste than if let stand to warm. It needs only to be cut through the flour--not rubbed. To Take Wrinkles Out op Silk.--If silk scarfs or handkerchiefs have become wrinkled, moisten, not wet them, evenly with a sponge dipped in a weak solution of glue; then pin the article, smoothly and tightly stretched, upon a screen or a mattress. Cold Meats.--Cut any sort of cold meat in thin slices, and place in a baking dish, seasoning with salt, pepper and summer savory or thyme; add a little of the meat gravy ana tomatoes to more than cover; thickening with bread ot cracker crumb; bike in the oven. To Boil Potatoes.--Let the potatoes be of a size; do not put them in the pot until the water boils; when done, pour off the water and remove the cover until all the steam is gone; then scatter on half a teaspoonf ul of salt, and cover the pot with a towel. adopting this plan watery potatoes wui be mealj. Boiling Beets.--With many house­ wives there is a great deal of boiling of beet-root in case it should lose its color, and minute directions are generally given in all cookery books as to washing the roots carefully, so as to avoid all abrasion of the skin. That, beet-roots should be washed absolutely clean before being put into the pot is, of course, very nec­ essary; but tn« most simple way to avoid spoiling the color is to d^qp the roots into boiling water. Russian Tillages, The houses of the villages are in general dilapidated and without windows, and only a little trap-door to peep through, which is shut in cold weather. The peasants live as they lived for centu­ ries before the time of Peter the Great. The dwellings, fronted by birch trees, stand along the post road. At the en­ trance of the village is a signboard, on which the number of men and cows in it is painted. The women and children are not thought worth the trouble of enume­ ration. The men wear loose red or blue shirts, gathered at the waist. A few have boots, but the rest only leggings bound with thongs, the shoes being of a kind of basket-work, made from strips of birch. The women have a coarse che­ mise, with full sleeves, over which is the national dress, the sarafane of blue or red cotton, without a bodice, and kept on the shoulder by a band. Those who are married have a hankerchief tied round the head. The girls wear their hair in one long plait down the back. The chil­ dren, in summer, have only u short shirt with open sleeves. In front of every house is a bench upon which the tenants and their visitors sit in the summer to chat or perhaps to sing. The provincial towns are much alike throughout the empire. tialveston. The great' fire which recently de­ stroyed a portion "of the business part of Galveston, Texas, turns attention to a city where enterprise has placed large commercial interests, notwithstanding it seems to have a most dangerous loca­ tion. Galveston is on the eastern ex­ tremity of Galveston island--a low strip of land only a mile wide at the city. It is separated from the main-tend by a navigable channel two miles wide. In ordinary weather this channel is safe for shipping; but when large tidal waves roll in, as they often do, almost certain destruction overtakes vessels that have not escaped into the bay. Great dam­ age has been done during equinoctial storms, as was the case in 1867 and 1875. The city is partially built upon piles, as the island at that point is only seven feet above the sea-level. There are no wells, the city depending for its water supply upon cisterns erected on scaffolds. Yet Galveston is an impor­ tant commercial city, exporting large quantities of cotton, wool, hides, etc. The coast trade is extensive; and the island, notwithstanding its exposed situation, produces excellent tropical fruits. They Had Met Before. A'Confederate Colonel was introduoed to Gen. Grant at a reception in London. This gentleman, having taken Gen. Grant's hand, remarked : "General, it is a long time since we mot." " Have I met you before ?" asked Grant, scrutin­ izing the Virginian's face. " Yes," was the reply, " and undor very different circumstances from these. It will be fifteen years on the 3d of July next." Grant's eyes ranged round the room, then over the ceiling, then they came back illuminated by memory, and he ex­ claimed, " Vicksburg !" " That was the place, sir," said the Colonel; "on the heights I met you, and stood by Pem- berton when we surrendered." Barnnm and Bob. Mr. P. T. Barnum is a temperance reformer Uli It Slllaii Bt'UIt". YT11011 he was in Detroit a valet, whom he had discharged years before for drunkenness, solicited a re-engagement. Said Mr. Barnum: "Bob, if you will join the Red Ribbon men, and at the expiratien of three months give me proof that you have kept the pledge, I will take you back in my service,, give your wife a good situation in my family, and enter into a written contract to employ you both as long as I live." The grateful fellow eagerly promised to sign the pledge, and started homeward to tell his wife the story of his happy turn of fortune. Military Rewards in Italy. One of the most serious incumbrances upon the industries of Italy, as it is in all other European countries, is its great standing army, which numbers about four hundred thousand men. The pay of the private soldier is something al­ most beyond belief in its littleness, that of the infantry jbeing but two cents, while cavalry and artillery receive but three cents each per day for their ser­ vice. The salaries of officers, both mili­ tary and civil, are not moderate in their dimensions, that of the King, as head­ ing the list, being 16,500,000 francs, or about $3,500,000 per annum.--Cincin­ nati Commercial. A Future Great Wheat Region. Tnditm Commissioner Smith reports that he was surprised at the fertility of the country bordering on the Red River of the North and its tributaries, and at the heavy tide of immigration that is setting in On both sides of the boundary line between Minnesota and Manitoba. He thinks this section one of the finest wheat-growing countries in the world, and says that it will soon be occupied by a large and thriving population.-- rNew York Tribune. ' A Surprising Genius. "* . Reynolds, a little 5-year-old son of Dr. Best of Millersburg, has a wonderful gift for mathematics. He ca-n add, subtract, multiply and divide with accuracy, and has never received instruction in either. If you put a question to him he will bow his head as if in deep thought, and then give you the answer. If incorrect, he will do the same tiling over again until he gets the answer correct.--Paris (JTy.) Citizen. * Hreasing Axles. On the authority at the Carriage Monthly, more injury is done to car­ riages and wagons fty greasing too much than the reverse. Tallow is the best lubricant for wood axles, and castor oil for iron. Lard and common grease are apt to penetrate the hub, and work their way out around the tenons of the spokes ana spoil the wheel. For coiuiuuii wood axles, just euough kY6&56 should be ap­ plied to the spindle to give it a light ooating. To oil an iron axle, first wipe clean with a cloth wet with turpentine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil near the shoulder and end. One tea- spoonful is enough for the four wheels. Carriages are sometimes oiled so much that their appearance is spoiled by hav­ ing tlic grease spattered npon their var­ nished surfaces. When they are washed in that condition, the grease is sure to be transferred to the chamois from the wheel, and from thence on to the panda. Flora Temple in Her Old Age. A letter writer who attended there- oent sale of yearlings at Chestnut Hill farm, near Philadelphia, savs there was one box stall in the stable that was passed carelessly by while the yearlitogs were being exhibited, until a gentleman casually remarked, "what have you got in there ?" The groom opened the door and the visitors saw a poor-looking, decrepit old mare with every bone in her body standing out as if the flesh was gradually wearing away, and eyes sunken and bleared, all that was left of the once-famous Flora Temple, the queen of the trotting turf. Flora came to Mr. Welch's in October, 1864, and since that time has had three foals. The old mare is now 32 years of age and will soon pass away. Texas Cattle. The Texas cattle-breedera alone own 1,025,000 cattle, besides horses and mules, and have 682,000 acres of inclosed pasturage. In 1870 the statistics showed that the State contained 424,504 horses, 61,322 mules and aBses, 428,048 milch cows, 132,409 oxen, 2,933,045 other cat­ tle ; or, for all the owners in the State, only 2,469,000 more than are now owned by ten men alone.

Iu brief, Sat&n has mado himself so omnipresent, that we look for his olovon foot everywhere--even in a bottle of lutxlicioe. Imagine a lady, having a com­ plexion ho sallow that you would deny her claim** to the Caucasian type if her features did not couform to it, purchasing her first bottle of toe Golden Medical Discovery. The one dollar u paid in the very identical manner in which Mr. Taylor might be expected to purchase a lottery tionet after his experience with "No. with this difference, his doubt would be ili«* rosult of personal experience, while hers would be founded on what a certain practition­ er (who has been a whole year trying to oorroct her refractory livfr) has said concerning it. At liOBi®, alio examines the bottle half suspicious­ ly, tautes of its content# carefully, takes the presoribed doso more carefully, and then pro­ ceeds to watch the result with as much anxiety as a practitioner would count the pulse-beats of a dying man. Blio takes another dose, and an­ other, and shows the bottle to her friends, tell­ ing fhitm she " feel* better." Her skin loses its bilious liui, her eyes regain their luster, her ao- o«a>oiui*4 energy return*, and the fact that sha IHurcLuMM anoUier bottle is a sur>.« witness that she has found the Golden Medical4>iscovery to be a reliable remedy for the disease indicated.
