BROS, TIffi FARM AXD FIKESIDI5, Itnimclinlil Notes. Milk, In hot weather, should be boil ed beforo it is put away. A good pinch of salt and a bit of cooking soda, about the size of a pea, will not only prevent it from curdling while boiling, but will give considerable "life" to it. Salt is one of the remedies most fre quently employed for keeping weeds out of garden walks, nnd the followjng is said to bo the best way of applying it: Roil the salt in water, one pound, to tho gallcui, nnd pour the mixture boiling hot out of a watering-pot with spreading rose. This wilT keep weeds and worms awuy for two or three years. Dr. Alice R.Stockton, in tho People's Health Journal, says that unless a woman has tried looso clothing sho cannot conceivo how much sho gains for health and strength by a dress that gives perfect freedom to breathe. "Six teen thicknesses of cloth," sho says, "is no unusual number to bo found tightly fastened about a lady's waist." Concerning this matter she onco heard a Chincso woman exclaim: "Christian woman squeeze God's life." Tho etiquette of hand-shaking is sim ple. No man should assumo to tako a lady'g hand until it is offered. A lady extends her hand and allows the gcntlemnn to take it. On introduction in a room a married may generally shakes hands; young ladies not often. In tho ball-room, where tho introduc tion is for dancing, not for friendship, never shake hands. Tho moro public tho placo of introduction tholess hand shaking rakes place. In tho North Carolina Medical Jour nal, Dr. J. It. Irwin says that ono of tho best nnd most pleasant things that can bo used to relievo tho painful stato of the dental nerves is chewing cinnamon-bark. It destroys tho sen sibility of tho nerves, nndsuspendstho pain immediately, if tho bark is of good quality. After repeated trials, and in ditferent cases, ho is convinced that it is generally as efficacious as any of tho other re in edies suggest ed for odontalgia, and not attended withtlio unpleasant consequences of creosote, enrbolie acid, etc., which relievo the pain, but leave the mouth as sore and painful as tho tooth was previously; though these results are usually duo to carelessness in using. "Wiitcli tin) Mimiyiiril. During a recent excursion through a rural district which we refrain from lo cating, except to say it was not in the far-famed Genesee Valley, or any oth er part of Western New York, wo saw somo surprising evidences of neglect about cleaning out barnyards and utilizing tho elements of fertility they contained. In one instanco tho ma nure pile was so large that it. reminded us of tho old story anent tho farmer who was obliged to move his barn be cause access to it was so blockaded by rich fertilizing materials! And we thought it might not bo amiss to ask tho readers of Tho Rural Homo (or at least such of thein as borrow tho paper!) if they had any troublowith like incumbrances in their barnyards such valuable material as ought to have been long ago spread In field, orchard and garden, instead of bcingallowed to run to waste by evapo ration or otherwise, thus pulluting tho air with disagreeable odors and xier haps engenderingdisease. If any havo inadvertently overlooked a matter so important, or from any cause being prevented from doing their duty in tho promises, wo would suggest that it may not bo too Into yet, as somo crops would bo decidedly benefited by an ap plication of barnyard or other fer tilizers. Rut tho barnyard should be looked to at thisscnsou, oven ifit wnsclonned out in tho spring or none of its con tents are needed afield. An oxcerpfc in our scrnpbook truly avers that tho barnyard should bo watched at this timo of tho year to see that tho juices do not run to wasto. If tho How can bo turned into a field to soak away over its surface, themanuro contained in it will settle into the ground nnd bo saved. On tho land where this deposit is mado no other manure will ho necessary, as tho best materials, tho chemical salts, are washed out mid How away with tho water. Whero thoro is a considerabledistanco for tho stream to run theso will bo deposited unless tho flow is too rapid. Whero tho juice cannot bo mado to llow over a field it should .bo dammed up in a barn-yard, and tho eonrso manuro thrown into tho pool. This is presup posing that no arrangements wero made tho year beforo to manage it to bettor advantage. To utilize this val uable material thoro should be hauled into the barnyard in the autumn a lot of muck or earth which should be bo placed that it may bo able to ab sorb t In juioo. Where thoro is a boso nient it can ho placed therein, and wheeled out any time when it is re quired. Without such convenience it may bo piled up across tho natural outlet from t ho barnyard, and so as swor tho purpose of a dam nnd ab sorbent .Rural Home. WHiiomum furllio YVIU1111, Mr. W. A. Rrown writes to the Fruit Growers' .lournalhat of tho over -1,-000 acres of stra wherries in Berrien county, Mieh.,"noarlyallaro Wilson," which has been thefnvoritofortwonty fivo years: "Could you visit some of our best fields at this timo you niisjht look in vain for sign of deterioration in this grand old varioty. Many growers in tho gulf states bond hero for plants, and thoy always order Wilsons. Why tho Wilson fails at Cobden (Southern Illinois) is a mystery to northern and southern growers. Perhaps pure WH-. sons planted on isolated now lauds in your vicinity would again give old time results." Mr. 15. T. Holllster in a letter to tho game paper about the culture of this fruit 5n St. Louis county, Mo., says very few strawberries except Wilson arc grown there, and "it always yields a bountiful crop of fine berries which Imd ready salo at good prices. AVeod Out the Dairies. When we say weed out tho dairies wo mean to say that in nearly every dairy there aro somo cows that aro unprofitable, that do not givo enough milk, or mako enough butter or cheese (whatever tho object of tho dairy) to pay cost of keeping and caro, or, if they barely pay cost, they displaco others that would pay a good prolit. A grain growing farmer who should seo so imiiiv thin or barren spots in his fields of grain as to reduce tho averago yield below cost of production would not be satisfied, even though somo of tho acres yielded largo enough to pay a good prolit. He would try, by heavy manuring, more thorough tillage, or by draining, to bring up the yield of tho poorer spots to a prolitablestanrlard. A dairyman may easily sink tho profits of his herd by keeping a few poor cows. Part of tho herd may givo enough milk, or make enough butter or cheeso to afford a fair profit over cost, feed, care, interest and wear, and yet tho business bo a losing one, because the other portion of tho herd do not pay their way. Dairymen should not bo content with a knowl edge of what the herd is doing, even though it may be returning a profit, but should know just what overy cow is doing. livery cow's milk should bo set and tested separately at least twice 111 the season, when in full milk and when sho has been in milk six or eight months. If aro and found doing less than tho average, they should bo prepared for tho sham bles, and tho feed, labor nnd care bestowed upon them given to those that would yield above the average. Ry such means tho average would bo continually increasing. Some dairymen havo named 2001bs. a year as tho minimum yield of butter that should bo tolerated in a dairy cow, but that is pretty low, and no dairymen cm afford to retain a cow making so small a quantity, if reason able elfort will creato a herd, every one of which shall do considerably better. It is because so many farmers aro satisfied with doing only tolerably well, do not determine to do tho best possible, that so much complaint is made of tho unprofitableness of farm ing. American Rural Home. Sumllor I'urms ISoltor Tllloil- Mr. Georgo Kerr, in a recent letter to tho Toronto Globe about cultural and commercial aspects of farming, makes nsuggestivcpointfavorablo to smaller surfaces better fertilized and tilled: "Tho farm connected with the House of Industry, at south Boston contains only thirty acres, but it is so thoroughly cultivated that it has yielded an annual product of $170 per acre. Why should one acre yield $170 of value when another, equally fertile by nature, will yield only $10. Why is agarden richer than a field? We ma nuro our gardens well and our fields lightly; we dig our gardens twenty inch es deep, plough our fields five inches; we cultivate a small patch thoroughly and scratch over a small spaco super ficially." Further evidence favoringbettcr hus bandry instead of "poverty in land" is a Horded in tho next excerpt: "I read of an old man (notlongngo) who had a largo farm and two daugh ters. When tho one got married ho gave her as a dowry one-third of his farm, yet ho discovered that tho re maining two-thirds netted him as much as tho whole; when the other married he gave her a third and found his profits in thesucceedingyearlargcr than they had over been. A practical farmer says, I am confident that fifty acres, if cultivated in tho very best stylo of modern improvement, will yield moro profit than many of your 100 aero farms now yield." Tho philosophy of tho matter "tho disadvantage of skiin-oul'uro" obvi ous upon a little reflection, is illustrat ed by tho caseof thecorn crop: "Thoro nro many farmers whoso yearly pro duct per aero does not exceed an aver ago ot twenty-fivo bushels. Thoro aro other farmers who obtain generally not less than sixty bushels per aero, and often eighty to ninety-five somo lfjO bushels. Nowobservo tho difference in tho profits of each the first 250 bush els off ten acres. In doing this ho had to plough, harrow, mark out, find seed, plant, cultivate, hoe, and cut up ten acres, besides paying interest on ten acres, worth from $f00 to $1,500. The other farmer gets 2")0 bushels from four acres at tho furthest; and ho only ploughs, plants, cultivates and hoes, to obtain thosameamount, four acres, which, from their lino tilth, and free dom from grass and weeds, is much easier done, oven for an equal surface" Infant's Vooil. In an inportant article on "Tho Quanity of Food Required in Infancy," in Rabyhood for July, Prof. J. Lewis Smith writes: Tho iniportanco of theso tosts and observations is appar ent, inasmuch they enablo as to do torniinoapproximatolyhow much food should bo given at each feeding to in fants that aro unfortunately deprived of tho broast-milk. The food thon used should, of courso, boar tho clos est possible resemblanco to human milk in consistencoandnutritivo prop erties. Although many substitutes for human milk havo been prepared, and sold in tho shops with extrava gant recommoudations, it is tho opin ion of the most intelligent and ex. porienced physicians that animal milk, ami for convenience that of tho cow, should bo made tho bnsis of tho prep aration employed. In my opinion the following is very nearly tho proper scale for tho dilution of cow's milk, which should, of course, always bo as fresh as possible and of good quality. Under the age of two weeks, one part milk, two parts water; at throe weeks, two parts milk and three parts water; at four to six weeks half-milk and half water; at three months, three parts milk, two parts water; after four months, three parts milk nndoncparfc water. This scale of dilution does not give as large a proportion of water as is recommended by somo authorities in infant dietetics, but it is sanctioned by the above obsei various. Tho quantity of milk, prepared as di rected abtfve, which infants require at different nges may be formulated, as follows from tho statistics which we havo given. Under the age of three weeks one to ono-nnd-n-half ounces, with tho water added after it is meas ured, should bo given at each of the twelve daily feedings. The quantity should bo gradually increased ns the infant grows older until the ngc of threo months, when three ounces should bo given at each of the eight feedings. Some infants do not seem to require an increase of tin's amount, but others who are hearty. need more. Thus ono infant aged four months took, in tho average, four ounces of breastmilk at each of the nine nursings in twenty-four hours. Tho baby after tho ago of six months should be fed every three hours, nnd four ounces ol milk may begiven a teach feeding, in or der to assuro a sufficient quantity. Some requiro less than this, and oc casionally 0110 needs a little more, say four-and-n-half ounces. Putting up Cucumber1! In Tickle. Pack the cucumbers in a jar or tub, then pour a weak brine upon them, and let it remain three days. Pour off tho brine, and pour on enough hot boiling vinegar to cover tho pickles, and let them stand 2-1 hours. Reboil tho vinegar, and pour on as before. Do this tjireo times, letting the pickles stand 24 hours each time. Then throw tho picklo awny, and add enough fresh vinegar to cover tho cucumbers. Add a lump of alum tho size of a maiblo to a gallon of pickle; half pound of sugar nnd spices to taste. Uring to a boil, skim, and then turn upon tho pickles while hot. Lot them stand well cov ered for ten days, and they aro ready foruse. Thisisonekind ofmnrkctablo pickles. Another kind, and one that is largely used, is: Soak the cucum bers in a barrel or tub, in salt. When needed tako tho cucumbers out and throw boiling water on them. When sufficiently freshened (which you will know by tho water be coming fresh) put tho cucumbers in a porcelain kettle, and cover with cold vinegar. Put in a little pod or part of a red pepper to each gallon of pickles; also a piece of alum about tho size of a pea to each gallon. Then let them coino to a scald not boil. When scalding hot take them out and put in n vessel to be used, pouring tho same vinegar over them. If to bo kept fora long time tho vinegar wiU need chang ing. This gives pickles a natural color, which aro now most generally in use. To thoso who prefer green pickles tho lollowing gives the desired color: JJis solvo fi vegrains of saffron in one-fourth ounce of distilled water, and in anoth er vessel dissolve four grains of indigo carmine in half an ounco of distilled water. Shako up and allow to stand 24 hours. Then mix tho two and a fine solution, not poisonous, is formed. Grant's Missouri Homes. St. Louis Republican. Tho 'history of tho different houses connected with Grant's stay in St. Louis is soon told. Some twelvo miles south of tho city is tho old Dent farm, on which White haven and Ilardscrabblo stand. Whitehaven is tho old family homo of tho Dents. Tho house i3 over a half century old, and it is yet, despito its age, a handsome structure It is hero that Rrevot Second Lieutenant Grant came courting Miss Julia Dent, tho sister of his old classmate, riding over from tho barracks, only four miles away. It was in Whitehaven that most of Grant's children wero born, and tho tenderest associations of his lifo nro associated with it. Ilardscrabblo got its peculiar name from Grant himself. Ho christened it after ho had built it. Notinany ofour cities Can show in their environs a log house built by the president of tho United States. Old Mr. Dent, after Grant had left tho army, presented his son-in-law with sixty acres of land, and tho futuro General at onco went to work to build a homo upon it for his family. Ho was very poor so poor that Fred Dent had to lend him tho money to buy tho flooring, window- Basil and doorways ot 111s nouso. Ac cording to tho good old custom, when tho logs wero shaped and ready, tho neighbors gathered in to help "raise" ino nouso. l is touai intuition tunc General Grant, with his own hnnds.did all tho work upon tho southeast cor ner of tho house, tho ono to tho left as ono looks at tho picture Judgo John F. Long also carried up onoof tho cor ners. The houso is a comfortnblo ono well built and commodious. It has old-fashioned fireplaces whero many a giant log hns burned to nshes in tho 1 1. -r . . good out nines ueioro mo war. 11 is a two-story house, and tho arrange ment of tho rooms testifies to tho fact that Grant was a good architect as well ns a good soldier. Tho houso on h ifth nnd Corrostreet, on the southeast corner, was in its time a fino residence It still bears traces of tho style and fashion of its occupants, but it has fallen from its high estate, nnd it is now a boarding houso which advertises tho day board to bo found within. Tho houso on Seventh nnd Barton streets was for a timo Grant's prop erty. When ho moved into St. Louis to go into the real ostato business, he traded iiardscranuio tor tno Jturum street property. There was u flaw in ino utie, iiowovor, mm tue property was taken nwny from him. It was not till after tho war that he recovered possession of Hard&crahbla. The house is a frame, full of surprising doorways nnd unexpected s'.airs. It is a little hit of a cot tag, Mid in it Grunt prob ably passed the most unhappy years ui ins uie. A Pawnee Scalp Dance. As I approached the lodge an horn before sunset, I saw dangling from a lodge pole, which rose far above the lodge, the scalp around which the dnnco was to beheld. The scalp was that of a woman. Tho hair was fully eighteen inches long and of a red color. As I entered tho lodge no one was with in except the dancers ten or twelve ii number, who sat in a semi circle nt the back of the lodge and opposite the en trance, and two attendants who busi ed themselves attending tho wants ol the dancers. All was quiet, not n word being spoken until near the set ting sun. Then the drummers beat with all their power, nnd in came the spectators (mostly men) pell-mell yell ing nt tho top of their voices. All seemed confusion, all were talking at once; but onco in, all again became quiet as before. Tho dancers were painted most fancifully, many being covered till over with white or clay paint. Where only the faces was orna mented tho more rare colors wercused, such as red, green, blue, yellow, but all wero painted beyond recognition. Spotted Horse was the first to dance; he being the ono who had cut the scalp from its owner. Ho came forthwith dignified air, first desc ribed how he had killed the woman and cut thescalp off beforo sho was dead, oven describing how she had screamed and pleaded for mercy. Hy use of tho tomahawk he held, ho acted out as near is possible the dreadful tragedy in which ho had played so important a part. Then camo the dance; first the dancer's head and body aro leaned forward, tho head reaching very near the ground, next lifting tho feet high in tho nir, ho throws himself back into a sitting posturo with such force as to seem to jar tho very lodge. A knife was held in ono hand, a medi cino gourd in tho other, tho latter of which was shook accompaniment to tho music of tho Indian drums. The dnnco was in exact unison with tho music. At intervals ho stopped and reviewed the story ho had already re lated or somo part of it, then again danced with more energy than before. Thus tho dnnco was kept up for an hour when ho was joined by the rest of the dancers. Ono by ono they came forth and related somo act of valor, after which tho dance was again begun. This dance was kept up until midnight when the presents were given. Many of tho spectators became so excited they took from their own body their wearing apparel and threw it to the dancers. Then camo tho big smoke. Tho chief's pipes wero filled by the chief himself with (Now-eo-cow) Indian tobacco which is kept in a buffalo head and is thought to possess spiritual virtue, and sent by the attendant to one of tho spectators who is known to havo mado somo present. He smokes and passes it to such friend as he wishes. After all who have given pres ents aro handed tho pipe of sacred-tobacco the dnnco is either ended or thoy begin anew, and repeat exactly what I havo related, dancing around the same scalp, but after that night that scalp is never danced around again. Tho American Antiquarian. Groy Hair. Medfeal nnd Surgical Reporter. Many persons begin to show grey hairs while they aro yet in their twenties, and somo while in their teens. This docs not by nny means nrguo a premature decay of tho constitution. It is a purely local phenonienom, nnd may coexist with unusual bodily vigor. Tho celebrated author and traveller, Georgo Borrow, turned quifo groy be foro ho was .'50, but was an extraordi nary swimmer and athlete at 0i5. Many feeblo persons, and others who have suffered extremely, both men! ally and physically, do not blanch a hair until past middle life; while others, without assign:tblo cause, loso their capillary coloringmnttcrrnpidly when about forty years of age. Race has a marked influence. The traveller, Dr. Orbigny, says that in the many years ho spent in South America, ho never saw a bald Indian, and scarcely every a grey haired ono. The negroes turn moro slowly than the whites. Yet wo know of a negress of pure blood, about 35 years old, who is quitogrey. In this country, sex ap pears to mako littlo difference. Men nnd women grow grey about the same period of lifo. In men tho hair and beard rarely chango equally. Tho one is usually darker than the other for several years, but there seems to bo no general rule as to which whitens first. Tho spot whoro greyness begins differs with the individual. The philosopher Schopenhauer began to turn grey on tho temples, and complacently framed a theory that this is an indication of vigorous mental activity. Tho correlation of grey hair, as well as its causes, deserves more attention nnd study than they havo received. Such a charge is undoubtedly indica tive of some deep-seated psychological process, but what this is wo can only ascertain by a much wider series of ob servation than havo yet been submit ted to scientific analysis. In 1871, Clarenco A. Portley, who had lately graduated from Wost Point, married Miss Maggie Alexander, daugh ter of Dr. Alexander, a New York mill ionaire When tho wedding ceremony was over, Dr. Alexander handed his sonin-law an onvelopo containing $100,000 in government bonds. "Thank you," renlied tho gratified son-in-law; and then hcaskod, "But as wo aro going away would it notbobot tor that you should keep tho money till woroturn?" "I'lldoso, "answered tho delighted father-in-law, and hia half-choked words, "God bles you, my children," woro lost among the clatter of tho departing carriage and tho val edictory shouts. Not long ago Mr. Aloxandor died without a will, and 110 mention was made of the $100,000, though his proporty was left to his daughter. A friendly suit lms now been instituted to determine tlie ownsrship of the $1Q0,QQ0, ths wife wjuiting hsr husband to have tit money
