Every country neighborhood lias woods
which are full of ferns and brakes,
which usually die and go to seed without
doing any good save as a gratification to
the, sense of sight. The softer parts, if
stripped from the b terns and dried in the
sun, retain their toughness and elasticity
for a long time, and are said to ba supe
rior to straw and husks, and even to " ex
celsior," for stuffing mattresses. The
tacks when filled should be stitched
firmly with a mattress-needle, using
strong linen twine, and making the in

HEDGE ROWS VS. MOVABLE FENCES.
We never advocated hedge planting,
except it be upon the roadside; all else
is wild and useless in a . land as varied in
( , the ownership of real estate as ours in
America. Again, were there any per
manency attached to property as belong
ing to years or time, the cost of keeping
the hedges, the harbor they give for
vermin, the amount of land they occupy,
the serpen they make for thieves, are more
than the balance of cost and availability
in the use of movable wooden slat fences,
or wooden posts with wire intermediate,
light, and readily removed. They can
I hi stored away under a shed during
winter, and at a moment's thought can
brought and used cheaply to protect
any little part and parcel of the grounds.

CHURNING UTLK, OR CREAM.
Upon this point of churning the en
tire milk in preference to skimming and
cliurning the cream, it Btrikes us that the
results of the most carefully conducted
experiments all go to show its economy
a compared with churning the cream
alone on farms where there are kept only
a small number of cows, and that those
who have tried it and given it up have
failed to observe the proper temperature.
Let it never be forgotten that the ther
mometer is to have the post of honor in
the dairy. Without it all is guesswork.
A difference of not over two degrees will
affect the yield of butter to the extent of
four to five per cent, which, in a large
dairy, or in a small dairy, throiigh the
season, will amount to a very large item,
especially with butter at fifty to sixty
cents a pound, as it is and has been for
a long tame in our markets. 3osacu

WATER A3 A PIxANT-NOTTRISHER.
An experiment of considerable impor
tance in botany has recently been con
ducted in England. Some plants of the
watermelon, after their first gertnination
from the seed, have been sustained wholly
on water, in which their roots were im
mersed, and have in this condition pro
duced fruit of the finest quality. " ery
few plants can obtain sufficient nourish
ment from water alone to enable them to
carry on the complete process of blossom
ing and fruiting. The hyacinth, which
is made to flower in water, has been first
. brought to maturity by a growth of several
vears in the soil, and has stored in its
bulb sufficient food for the maintenance
of its foliage and flowers for an entire
season. The water in which it apparently
thrives, seems to act only as a solvent of
this food, for it fails to furnish the ma
terial with which the hyacinth can stock
its bulb for a succeeding year's subsist
ence. Hence, after the plant has once
blossomed in water it is either thrown
away or sot in the ground or allowed
. . .
l years to recover its spent iorces.
i case of the watermelon cited above
fie was, however, no previous prepara-
of food, and ita entire nourishment
roughout vegetation was derived from
i water.
A FARMERS RAILROAD.
The farmers of Salinas Valley, Cali
fornia, were at the mercy of the railroad
corporations of that State, and with an
enterprise that does them much credit,
, they went to work and laid down an iron
pathway to the sea, which makes them
independent for all time of monopoly in
any form whatever. The port of Moa
terey '- was only twenty miles distant,
where ships can come and load as easily
and far more cheaply than at San Fran
cisco. Their valley was connected with
San Francisco by long lines of railroad
belonging to Stanford & Co., but the
Grangers did not forget that heaven had
blessed them with a seaport near by, and
they subscribed the stock of a narrow
track railroad and built the road them
selves, and say they can almost save to
themselves the price of the road the pres
ent year by cheapening transportation by
the old railroad line, even if they do not
choose to rise their own road. This road,
with a good narrow track, with all neces
sary turnouts and rolling stock, and with
two large warehouses, cost the people of
Salinas Valley 813,000 per mile, and as
they save freight on 1,500,000 bushels of
wheat at the rate of 15 cents a bushel,
they will make a profit for themselves.

Burn tour Kerosene thb Eight
Wat. We wish to call the attention of
all consumers of kerosene oil to the per
nicious and unhealthy practice of using
lamps filled with that article with the
wicks turned down. The gas which
should be consumed by the flame is by
this means left heavily in the air, while
the cost of the oil thus saved, at the
E resent prices, would bo scarce one dol
ir a year for the lamps of a household.
A large family of children in the country
were taken ill one night, and on going to
the nnraprv the mother found the whole
room nearly suffocating with a lamp
turned nearly out, whereupon the doctor
forbade the use of a lamp at night unless
burned ut full head. A girl was subject
to fits of faintness, which, if not induced,
were greatlv increased by sleeping in the
room with the lamp turned almost out.
Besides the damage to health, it spoils
the paper and curtains, soils the mirrors
and windows, and gives the whole house
an untidy and unwholesome odor.
PRIS0S DISCIPLINE.
Flogging the Re nellioun Convicts in the Mis
souri Penitentiary.
Jefferson City (Mo.) Cor. St. Ixniia Republican.
At 7:30 o'clock Mr. Bradbury came
in the man who lays on the strap and
rawhide, and who is more taciturn than
his fellow-officers. With the crowd of
guards we walked to the "old hall,
filled with 326 cells. Two pests near by
stand out clearly in the light of a neigh
boring lamp. At first a young negro
boy is brought up by the guard. As he
comes up with abashed countenance, he
trembles like an aspen. "Take off your
shirt '" A slow movement in that direc
tion. " Lie down aud you can take it
off quicker." When he has the shirt off
he comes up to the post, and, extending
both hands sees each firmly bound by a
rope. The man then takes the rope,
which leaves about a foot's distance be
tween the negro's hands, and twines it on
a hook placed further up on the post.
When this is fixed, the prisoner can only
stand on tiptoe.
Mr. Bradbury here comes up. " What
is your namei" "Henry Schaeffer."
" What have you been doing?" " Speak
ing in the line, sir ; that is all. " " Don't
you know better than that? how long
nave you been here ?" " Nine months."
Turning to your correspondent, Mr.
Bradbury remarked : " We have begun
different discipline here.
Bradbury takes a rawhide and lays it
on the bare yellow back before him. It
raises a long red line on the yellow back,
and the negro leaps two feet off the floor.
Further, it brings a yell of pain, and an
abject cry of " Mr. Bradbury, please, Mr.
Bradbury, sir." But Bradbury lays on
four or five more lashes without flinch
ing. The punishment is done, and the
Af rican humbly picks up his clothes, and
goes back to his cell. "
James Shea comes up an intelligent
and fine-looking young fellow of less
than 23 and takes his punishment with
bravely-suppressed moans of anguish,
until eighteen blows are measured out.
It is curious to mark the blows, how
Bradbury tries not to plow up too much
space, but to plow deep. The long red
lines deepen and darken, widen and
lengthen ; then become clotted ; to-morrow
they will be blue. " Eighteen
blows ; take him down, if he is ready."
" Oh, yes, sir, I am ready ; but I have
been imposed upon by these men," said
the prisoner, pointing to the guards.
" Imposed upon, have you? " says Brad
bury ; "string him up again." The
deed is done. The already quivering
flesh is made to quiver again, and the
teeth are gritted together tighter and
tighter, though the moans caused by the
scorching rawhide cannot help coming,
and the face pales to a deeper pallor, aud
the eyes on the look of despair and an
guished suffering that looks up at the
stone walls in unutterable desolation !
Mike Malloy, low-browed, hard, and
evil, proves himself a cowardly whelp.
As Bradbury raises the lash he begines
a whine, which, when the lash descends,
heightens into a howl the cry of a wild
beast, a cry of agony, unrestrained by
the feelings of pride that agitate most men
and most convicts. " I would rather be
with my mother," he piteously whines be
tween the blows. Bradbury coolly says,
" I suppose you would."
Other prisoners are whipped, but time
cannot be spent on all. The braggadocio
leader in the revolt disgraces hia human
ity when it comes to a little suffering.
The brave, patient follower faints before
a cry of pain shows how the blows have
sunk into his flesh and into the sensitive
covering of his soul. . Some come up
dauntless, some with trembling all de
part with a look out of their eyes that be
tokens a desire for eternal revenge.
Facts forjthe Million.
Oilcloths, if well rubbed with a
woolen cloth and warm water, with the
addition of a little skimmed milk, if con
venient, will look nearly as fresh as new.
Scrubbing brushes and strong soap are
ruinous to them.
Dim writing, nearly effaced by age,
may be restored by the application of a
solution of prussdate of potash in water.
Wash the parts with a hair pencil, and the
writing will appear if the paper has not
been destroyed
From six to ten drops of the concen
trated solution of chloride in awineglass
ful of pure spring water, taken imme
diately after the ablutions of the morning
are completed, will sweeten the breatfi
by disinfecting the stomach, which, far
from being injured, will be benefited by
the medicine. . If necessary this may be
repeated in the middle of the day. In
some cases the odor from carious teeth
is combined with that of the stomach.
If the mouth is well rinsed with a tea
spoonful of the solution of the chloride in
a tumbler of water, the bad odor will be
removed. A weak solution of the per
manganate of potass, as we have before
stated, is also good, y- ' ; ;' ; "i '

it ; rinse it twice ? in cold -water,- i the
second time with a drop or two of liquid
blue. Have ready some very clear, weak
gum-arabic water or some thin starch, or
rice water ; pass the veil through it and
clear it by clapping ; then stretch it out
evenly and pin it to dry on a lineri cloth,
making the edge as straight as possible,
opening out all the scallops and fastening
each with pins. When dry, lay a piece
of thin muslin smoothly over it and iron
it on the wrong side. ' . ' L "

Cornish Flat, N. H., still shaves himself
with a razor which was the only one used
by his father, who got it of an old man
eighty years of age, who in turn bought
it when he was young for sixpence at a
pawnbroker's shop in the city of Glas

brought into Cornish about 113 years

A Wonderful Island. .
Men have often tried to rival nature on
her own ground. One remarkable scene
of such effort is still sought by tourists'
in Lake Maggiore, in Northern Italy, ad-i
joining Switzerland. In Lake Maggiore
he the islands belonging to the Borrom-i
ean family, among which is "Isola
Bella," an enchanted ground well worthy"
of its name. Two hundred years ago the
island was a barren rock ; to-day, thanks
to the freaks of a spendthrift noblemanj
it is "a joy forever." Ten terraces
built in massive stone piers rise out of
the water, earth of sufficient depth td
grow the largest trees was brought there
and these many years it has been a little
forest of luxurious vegetation for every
clime. There, flourish the camphor and
the india-rubber trees, the bread fruit
and the banana, the black bamboo and
the American aloe, the cedar of Lebanon,
the magnolia, the date palm laden with
fruit, and camellias fifteen feet highj
Every step brings one in contact with
new beauties, while statues and
wondrous works in stone mingle every
where with the living green ivies, honeyt
suckles, trumpet-creepers and a wealth
of ferns and creeping plants. The
' spendthrift nobleman " who perpetrated
all this magnificence was Count yitaliano
Borromeo, a descendant of the celej
brated philanthropist, Archbishop Charles
Borromeo, one of the saints of . the
Roman calendar. j
Putnam's Vest. Mrs. William Perry,
living near Deer Creek Meeting-House
Kenyon county, Ky., has the vest worn
by Gen. Israel Putnam when j he made
his escape from the British soldiery, in
his ride down the stone steps, near Stam
ford, Conn., in 1779, where, with 150
militia, he was opposing 1,500 British
under Tryon. The rebels were forced to
retreat, Putnam staying till the last.
Being hard pressed and fired upon, he
galloped down a steep rock, in which
nearly 100 steps had been cut for people
to ascend going to church. Mrs. Perry
is the grandniece of Gen. Putnam, and
received the vest from her mother. ' It
is a long, Quaker-like garment, " with
large pockets, and the material ash-colored
Marseilles. The Kevolutionary
relic is highly prized. j

Bleerllnp from Lani, Catarrh, Bronchitis),
Consumption A Wonderful Cure. t
Rochester, N. Y., Jan, 13, 1874.
H. V. Pieuce, M. D., Buffalo, N. Y.: I
Deab Sir I bad suffered from Catarrh in an
aggravated form for about twelve years and for
several years from lsroncliial trouble, xneu
many doctors and things with no lasting benetit.
In Slay, '72, becoming nearly worn out with
excessive editorial labors on a paper in New
York city, I was attacked with Bronchitis in a
severe form. Buffering almost a total loss of
voice. I returned home here, but iiad been
home onlv two weeks when I was completely
prostrated with hemorrhage from the lungs,
having four severe bleeding spells trithin tiro
toeeks. and first three insidn of nine days. In
the September following, I improved sufficiently
to be able to be about, though in a very feeble
state. My Bronchial trouble remained and the
Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every
effort for relief seemed fruitiest. I seemed to
be losing ground daily. I continued in this
feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about
the first of March, 73, when I became so bad as to
be entirely confined to the house. A rncnci
suggested your remedies. But I was extremely
skeptical that they would do me good, asi I
had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look
upon medicine and doctors with disgust. Haw
ever, I obtained one of your circulars, and read
it carefully, from which I came to the. con
clusion that you understood your business,' at
least. I. finally obtained a quantity of Dr.
Sage's Catarrh "Remedy, your Golden Medical
Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their
vigorous use according to directions. To my
surprise, I soon began to improve. The Dis
covery and Pellets, in a short time, brought out
a severe eruption, which continued for several
weeks. I felt much better, my appetite im
proved, and I gained in strength and flesh. ; In
three months every vestige of the Catarrh was
gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared,
had no cough whatever, and I had entirely ceased
to raise blood ; and, contrary to the expectation
of some of my friends, the cure has remained
permanent. "I have had no more hemorrhages
from the lungs, and am entirely free from
Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and
so long. The debt of gratitude I owe for the
blessing I have received at your bands, knows
no bounds. I am thoroughly eaajsned, . from
my experience, that your medicines will master
the worst forms of that odious disease Catarrh,
as well as throat and lung diseases. I have
recommended them to very many, and shall
ever speak in their praise. ,

Dr. J. Walker's California Vin
egar Sitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na
tive herbs found on the lower ranees ot
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrom without the um
of Alcohol. Tbe question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of Vi&egab Bit
TEHsf Our answer is, that they removs
the cause of disease, and the patient re
covers his health. , They are the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect .Renovator and Invigorator

aintory of the werld hau a medicine been

qualities of Vinboar B.ttkrb in healinir the

are a gentle 'Purgative well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestinn ' Inflammation
the Liver and Vwoerat organs, in Billot
Diseases.
The nroDerties of Dr. Walkke's
ViKEOA-a Bitters are Aperient, Diauborotio,
Carminative, Nutritions, Laxative, Jinretio,
Sedative, Coanter-Irritant, Spdorifio, Aluirw
uve. ana Ana-niuone. .
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr
egab Bitters tbe most wonderful In
vigorant that ever suRtained - the sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious. Remittent 'and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so preva
lent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobilo, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual beat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive ae
rangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans,' is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters.
as they will speedily remove tbe dark
colored viscid matter with which the
hnwela nrs lnArlnrt. n.t tha same time
stimulating the secretions of the lLyer,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vdtegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Pam in tbe Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of tbe Stomach, Bad Taste
in tbe Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita
tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee,
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, Whito
Swelliligv Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Keck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Inderlent
Inflammations, Mercurial A flections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes.'etc.
In tbese, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walkeb's Yikkgar BiTTKRS have
shown their great curative powers iu the
most obstinate and intractable cases. '
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, ; Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the ltlood. Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no eoual. Such Diseases
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Tj-pe-setters, Gold-beaters, aud
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of the -Bowels. To guard
against this, take a dose of "Walker's Vim-
kgak Bittrrs occasionally.
For SKin Diseases, Eruptions, Tot
ter, Salt-Rhenin, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Kyjes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases-of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dng up and carried
out of the system in a short time by the use
of theso Bitters. , ,
Pin, Tape, and other VTornis,
lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and remoVed. Xo
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an
thelniinitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the tarn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blbod when
ever yon find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or crorea ;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when 'it is
foal ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pore, and the health of the system
will follow. .
