6 WILLAMETTE FARMER. ii m t I Qood Hiv-tH When to Get Up. The Duke of Wellington always slept on an iron camp bedstead eighteen inches wide. "When a man wants to torn over." he said, " it is time for him to turn oat." The Empe ror Nicholas did the same, Mr. Owen says. The principle is well enough; but I think the detail is wrong. Sleep is fur too important to be made uncomfortable. My old friend Bos slter fixed his alarum so that, nt the fore-or dained moment, the bed clothes were dragged from the bed, and Ilossiter lay shivering. I have myself somewhere the drawings and speci fications for a patent (which I never applied for), which arranges a set of cams and wheel work under the bedstead, which, at the moment appointed, lift the pillow-end six feet, and de liver the sleeper on his feet on the now hori zontal foot-board. He is not apt to Bleep long after that. Ilossiter found another contrivance which worked letter. The alarm clock struck a match, which lighted the lamp, which boiled the water for Jtossiter's shaving. If Itosslttr staid in bed too long, the water boiled over up on his razor, and clean shirt, and the prayer book his mother gave bim, and Coleridge's autograph, and bis open pocket-book, and all the other precious things he could put in a basin underneath when he went to bed; sob" had to get up before that moment came. Old and New. Doos as Fbopaoatoiis of Diskase. Among the many agents for tho spread of infectious diseases, are. it seems, "our domestio pets." For the propagation of fever a dog is some- times as bad, or worse, than a drain; and a case is referred to in the Sanitary Record, in which scarlet fever was carried from one child to another by a favorite retriever. The dog bad been reared in a house where scarlatina prevailed, and wbh subsequently given to a friend of the family. Shortly ufter, one of the children in the dog's new home was attacked with malignant scarlatina, and died. Disin fectants were used plentifully, and every pre caution taken to prevont a recurrence of the malady, but in two months' time a second child took the same disease, in its worst form, and died. As tho dog had been the const int com panion and plaj fellow of these children, its woolly coat, it is alleged, became so charged with contagious matter at to render it a source of disease and death. Although it is only fair to the dog to adroit that the children may have oaugnt tno iever irom otner sources man nis woolly coat, yet there is reason to fear that both dogs and cats, especially the latter, do assist in the circulation of infectious illnesses; and where fever prevails the soouer they are lodged out of the house the bettor. They are, however, probably not more dangerous in this rcsp-ct, than books. No ono who takes up a book trom a library ever troubles himself or herself as to tho antecedents of the volume; it may bnvo just left the bands of tho fevor patient, Fait Mall 7c. Am ItEQDinKO ron ItHsriruTioM. Tho aver age amount of air inspired and exhaled at each respiration is 30 cubic inches, and the avornge number of respirations 20 per minute, bo that 600 cublo feet of air pass through the lungs iu 24 hours. Tho amount of carbonio acid ex halod is variable, and is interesting as an index of tho rate of intornal change. The more energetic tho circulation, tho larger tho quantity of carbonio acid; it is less during sleep than while awake, and less during fasting than after full meal. A sleeping apaitmont should al ways havo adequate vontilatiou while In use. Musio in Sicknkrs. A curious little book has just been publishod, ontitled "Tho Influ ence of Musio on Disease," by a French pby siclan. The pith of this book is found in the praotical application which proposes a musical oure for disease; and the learned writer expa tiates vivaciously on what diseases it is neces sary to fiddle at, and what to play tho flute over, and for which symphonies are better, and for which banjo variations. English Dishes. "An Enalish Woman" furnishes the Oer mantown Telegraph with the following recipes for preparing certain English dishes: Bullock's Liveb. Cut the liver in scores, and salt it with two pounds of salt for a fort night, then let it drain dry for three days, then rub in two ounces of several kinds of spice, ac cording to your judgment, and all sorts of sweet herbs chopped very fine; also a good s-asoning of onions and shalots. Then hang it in a dry cellar for a time, and thn put it in a bag for use. A small piece is sufficient to make gravy for hares, du' ks, Ac. It will keep many months, and be u'efnl to use in the summer. Fricasseed Tbipe. Cleanse tripe well from the fat, cnt it into pieces about two inches broad and four long, put it into a stew-pan and cover with milk and water; let it bi.fl till tender. Slice two Spanish onions and put in a stew-pan with a quarter pound of butter; salt, peppi-r and nutmeg to flavor, and let them bronn; put this sauce with the tripe, add the juico of a lemon, nnd serve very hot. Youkbhire Pabkin. Two and a half pound of oatmeal, two pounds of treacle, a qnnrter of a pound of moiht suear, half a pound of buttr rubbed into the oatmeal a Utile dinger or finely cut candied pel may be added if liked; mix all well together, put into tea-rake tins, and bake. Winteb Salad. Boil tome potatoes and some onions, on) when cold cut tbem imo slices, to gether with some beetroot. Dress as any other caiau. xne onions snoum ue cnt so as to lull apart in rigs. To Mend Tinware. Every housekeeper may not know of what they are capable in the line of keeping their tin ware in order. For tl e benefit of such we will say that it is easier to Bolder such things than to pay a traveling tinker two prices for mending them. Take a eha'p kni'e and scrape the tin around the leak until it is br'ght, so that the solder will stick. Then sprinkle on a litt'e piwdered resin, (ihevhave liquid solder to sell, but resin will do as well), lay your solcUron the hole, and with your sold-riue iron melt it on. Do not have the iron too hot or the solder will adhere to that, Aftr two or three trial-) you oan do a job th at j ou ill be pr iud of . I f y on do not own a soldering iron procure one by all means; I ut when hard pressed I have used the knob on the end of the tire shovel, or a smooth piece of iron, or held a candle under the spot to be mended. Anything it better than stopping leaking paus wiih beeswax or rags. Try it, toung housekeepers, and see how independent you will fuel. Your nans should be drr when you taa-e mem in nand. Rice Jelly Boil one pound of flour with half a pound of loaf sugar in a quart of water until tno whole becomes a glminous mass, strain off the jelly and lot it stand to cool. This is nutritious and light. S. F- MA1T Wl- DOMESTIC PRODUCE. (WHOLESALE.) Wedsisdit at., April 7, 1S78. XAjm. Bro axa, Batter l'd ! Hf Pink IX'3 Hffl'l wh. pr ft., i u BROOM CORN.

Domestic Ecofiopy How to Roast Beef. Bomebody recently sent a reooipt to tho Ohio Tarnxtr for rnaaiing a xirloln of beef. Another correspondent "An Old Housekeeper," takes orrespoudent No. 1 to do aftor the following manner: ''Tht receipt furnished by your cor respondent of tho 01 h instant, for roasting a sirloin of beef, is not the way that I or auy ex perienced housekeeper would nttciant to cook It. It Out teoommoiula a ' joint weiKhmn from fourteen to tifloen pounds from a young and fat beef.' Now, everybody knowing anything about good beef would say, 'old and (at beef.' Young be ef is n ither o tender, julov or rich as old butt, as the fut and tho other flesh on the latter ia u-ly put on. The writer goes ou: ' having Itilii in Me dripping pan, tender-loin downward, we dredge it slightly with flour.' Doe-su't this writer know that all 'doctoring' of beef helps to d-teriorate its quality? Tog.i on, thameat U then put down iu the pan, In which a little ater Is poured, and then put iu the oven, not to roat, but to sfc-io. The writer then adds: 'At soon as the surface of the meat it so browned that the juices of the me it will not readily escape, allow tho oven to cool fo a modtratt dtqrtt of heal.' This is remarkable. 'When tht beef is done, $trinkl with salt and pepper. Empty the pan of all its drippings, pour in tome boillug water, slightly sailed, stir it about and ttfraln urrr lh$ meat.' "This is cue way, truly, and it may suit some people who have never eaten really good roast beef ; but it will uot do for me or my family. 'Why. beef, to roast it in the best mauner, should nnt be tamere4 with in any way not even tout hul with water before putting in the oven, Ins'ead of laying it broadelde in the water ef the ptu, it should be tlevated on a meat stand ' placed in the pan. A quarter of an boar to a pound of beef ia the correct peri od to roast. No iliedging, peppering, raiting tar pouring over of gravy, etc; therdtvltoy th awtaeu, dellciousueaa and relishment of Um Uaf." Oamdt. Two cupful of sugar, two large Ublaapoonfula of vinegar, and half a cupful of watar. Boll toceihe r, and add vanilla or Union far flvor. It Must b workal baton it Is very This question is conslnntlv coming up among iuuhu luruiurs woo aro seeaing so ureuu a ciaes of horses Hint shall sell for high prioes to gen tinmen wanting a stylish teim, or a fast roid horse. Tho consequenoe has been that Ihone who do ni.t make breeiling a spetia'ty have been breedinK to everything new that w.is suffi ciently puffed ; as Black Hawks, weedy thorougb-bred-t, etc., breeding away from the neces-itics of the farm, or that class of horses adapted to iarmer uses, in Unpen tuat now and ttientney might suceoed in celtincr a $400 or $500 horse for fanuy ush. Thus the stock for farm and general purposes has constantly degenerated, until you oan buy all you want of these classes fir from $15 to if 85 each; and with this class ol horses it will take three to do the work that two staunch, muscular horses ought to do. Let ua look a moment at trie importance of lartn norees as compared with those ot other olasses. There aro about 2,800,000 f irmers in the United States, If each farmer required an average outlay of the labor of two horses, there would be needed for theuies of the farm 5,600, 000, or fully CO per cent, of too whole number of horses in the United Slate. Now, the far mer well kuows that a (-tout, able, muscular horse, weighing from 1,200 to 1,-100 pounds, is uolo too he evy for the various labors of the farm; neither are they too boavy for general utility outkiiU the fnrui, a omnibus nnd team horses iu cities; for dray, and other classes ol medium at d heavy work, they are all right. Why uo', then, begin now to breed Buoh ? Tho Western Rural has asked this question moie thau ouco iu y ars pa-t. and has advised how this may be done. It will perhaps bear repeaiu g S lect r romy mares, of not less than from 1,100 lo 1,200 pouuds weight, and as near t good models of musoular duveloimniit as may be; then, if stylish in actiou, so much the bet ter. Select uo mire unless Bbe i-t intelligent, geutle und well-broken, if alio hai been worked at all. If Bho has not bean broken, rejeut all that show a skittish, uneven temper, for thi oan seldom bo brnl out, uiihout gtea' trouble aud p una; aud as it costs but little, if any more, to begiu right than wroug, it certainly will pay to select care'ully. Gle up all fuuo ful ideas, if any e.uoh hevo been enUrtdii'd, of breeding fancy horse. The breeding of buou canou'y be aco mplisued successfully by men who have capital nnd ex perience in the business; and, here, avain, a ilozeu fail where one makes a fortune. If you want extra ho tvy horses of say 1,400 pounds aud over, breed the-e lurgs. rooinv, selrcted mares to some good, full or half bied Percheron or flue Norman, the cross of half-brt-d, to have been ou Boine large, flue mare, and if with a good dash of thorough blood, so much the bet ter. If yon want n 1.20J or 1,300 pound horse, that sh ill bo BtylUb, active, muiouUr an 1 en during, then select the best largo, sUuncb thoroughbred you can find, aa the sire for your colts; or, iu lieu of this, a muscular hoise, t lie proiucool a Urge thoroughbred upen tome BAGS.

Erocured; Examinations of Patents made ere and at Washington; Examinations made of Assignments recorded in Washington; Examinations ordered and reported by Tele graph; Rejected cases taken up and Patents obtained; Interferences Prosecuted; Opinions rendered regarding the validity of Patents and Assignments; every legitimate branch of Patent Agency Business promptly and thoroughly conducted. Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions of this coast, and long practice iu patent business, enable us to aounaantiy satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventorc are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the publio through the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale aud popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secures with the assistance of co-operative agents, claims in all foreign countries which grant Patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chile, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD whore Patents are obtainable. No models are required in European conn tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and chances ot foreign patent laws agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all oisea, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than those of an other responsibla agency. We am and do got foreign patents for inventors in the Faciflo StateB from two to six month? (according to the location of tho country oonkb than any other agents. Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered cy a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of anv knowledge we have of previous applications which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference ol legitimate business and professional men ie mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advice of ' importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money but their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agenoy. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agency. We are familial with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the value and patentability of inventions discov ered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of government, delays are even more dangerous to tne invent ors of the Facifio Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by the extra time consumed in transmit tine specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential, We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us. Circulars free. Engravings. We have superior artists in our own office, and all facilities for producing fine and satisfac tory illustrations of inventions and machinery, for newspaper, book, circular and other printed illustrations, and are always ready to assist patrons in bringing their valuable is ooveries into practical and profitable use.

The shakes, or chills, once broken by It, do not return. until the disease is contracted again. This has made It an accepted remedy, and trusted specific, for the Fever and Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of the South. Ayer's Ague Cure eradicates the noxious poison from the system, end leaves th patient as well a before the attack.

Not only 1 It an effectual cure, but, If taken occasionally by patients exposed to malaria, it will expel the poison and protect them from an attack.
