EXPLANATIONS AND EEMABKB.
Th" c-ilculations of tliis xilmanac are made in mean Solar or Clock time. This is tlie time indi-catecUiy
a well regulated watch or clock, and does not correspond with the sun precisely, except
on four davs durin"- the j^ear. Apparent time is that which makes the sun come to the meridian
at 12 o'clock. No ^-ood clock will run with the sun ; if set with it at noon, January 2, the clock
would seem to be o^ne minute too fast January 3, at noon.
To adapt the calculations of this Almanac to Apparent time, use the minutes in the column
marked'" sun slow " or " sua fast," add them wlien /•/.", suhstract them when slow.
The calculations are made for the Latitude and Longitude of Ealei^-h, N. C; but the timjes, |
phases, &c. , will vary only a ew minutes for any part of North Carolina, South Carolina, Vir-ginia
and Tennessee.

'^ During some portions of the year, the sun changes so rapidiy m Right As^-en-

S^^^jSTote.—The following Weather Table, while subject to variations and exceptions as all
weather rules are, is nevertheless, the best and most reliable Table in a general way that can be
obtained. It was prepared by the celebrated Astronomer, Sir John Herschel, and has been so
often tested, as to become a standard AVeather Table. We have published it before, but numerous
requests for it induces us to republish it, and hereafter we shall continue it in each number of
Turner's K C. Almanac.

[Editor.
Foi" Foretelling the Weather, throughout all the Lunations of the Year, forever.
This Table and the accompanying remarks are the result of manj years' actual
observation, the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the atts'actiou
of the Sun and Moon, in their several positions respecting the Earth, and will by
simple inspection, show the observer what kind of weather will most probably
follow the entrance of the Moon into any of its quarters, and that so near the
truth as to be seldom or never found to fail.

OBSERVATIONS.
1. The nearer the time ot the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quar-ter
are to midnight, the fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.
2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next
morning.
3. The nearer to midday or noon the phases of the Moon happen, the more
foul or wet weather may be expected during the next seven days.
4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in
the afternoon. These observations refer principally to the Summer, though they
affect Spring and Autumn nearly in the same ratio.
^
5. The Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter, happening during
six of the afternoon hours, i. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather ;
but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as is noted in the table.
6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain
in the latter part of Autumn, the whole of Winter, and the beginning of Spring,
j'et in the main the above observations will apply to those periods also.
1, To prognosticate correctly, especially in those cases where the wind is con-cerned,
the observer should be within sight of a good vane where the four car-dinal
points of the heavens are correctly placed.

How to Cure a Snake Bite.
Mr. Edward Wilson, residing on Pawpaw
creek, in this county, was bitten on the wrist by
a copper-bead snake last week. His wrist be-came
veiy much swollen and extremely painful.
A poultice of bertliroot—or, as some call it, skull
cap, and others skunk root—was applied. The
first application did not seem to do much good,
but the second proved efHcacious immediatelj'^,
and in less than twenty minutes after its applica-tioh
the pain had entirely ceased, and the wound,
which bled freely, rapidly healed up. Another
gentleman in the same neighborhood was also
bitten by a copper-head in the foot. The same
remedy was applied, and it had the same happy
effect. This remedy is so simple and the article
is so easily obtained that it is worth recollecting.

Tlie Upsettia' Sin.
A story told by Dr. McCosh, of Princeton Col-lege,
is seasonable, A negro in a religious gath-ering
pra;v'ed earnestly that be ond liis colored
brethren might be preserved h-or,\ what he called
their "upsettin' sin," "Brud'lcr," said one of
his friends, at the close of the meeting, "yi'-i
ain't got the hang of dafirord. It's 'besettin',
not 'upsetting.'" "Erudder," replied the other,
" if dat's so, it's so. Sut I was pray in' de Lord
to save us from de sin of inur:;ic:,ition, an' if dat
ain't an upsettin' sin, I dunuo what am."
Charge of tlie Court.
" If the jnvj believe from the evidence that the
plaintiH! and defendant v.'ore iiavtne;>. in the gro"
eery, and that the plaii^iliT '••_:n;:\)i out the defen-dant,
and thai, tl^e dcfeiulant paid the note by
dciivcrii'ig to the pliiutiff a cow, which he war-ranted
not brcjieli}'; and the Vfarcantee was
broken by the reason ox the brejichiness of the
cow, and he drove the cow back and tendered
her to the defendant, but he refused to receive
tlWi liipiillll III
Jakuakt,—Look around you and endeavor to
ascertain the results of your industrj^ throughout
the past year, in order to make improved ar-rangements
for the future ; survey your former

view to improve on everything j-ou have done or

her, and the plaintiff took her home again, and
put a heavy yoke on her to prevent her jumping-fences,
and by reason ol the yoke she broke her
neck and died; and if the jirry believe the defen-dant's
interest in the grocery was worth anj'thing,
and the plaintiff's note was worthless, and the
cow w-as good for nothing, cither for beef or
milk, then the jury must lind out for themselves
how to decide the case; for the court, if she un-derstands
herself, and she thinks she does, don't
know how eucli a case should be decided."
That was. shrev/d advice of a learned lawyer
to a pupil, '' When the facts are in your favor,
but the law opposed to yoit, come out strong on
the facts; and when the law is in your favor and
the facts opposed to j^ou, come out strong on the
law." "But," inquired the student, "when the
law and the facts are both against me, what shall
I do V" "Why, then," said the lawyer, "talk
around it."
A man in an adjoining county died recently
who liad tal^en his county paper for twelve years
without paying for it. Upon the day of his burial
the kind-hearted, forgiving editor called to see
him for the last time and stuffed a linen duster
and a couple of palm leaf hats into the coffin.
He was prepared for a warmer climate.

A Eemedy for Cattle Distemper.
This disease prevails more or less in oiir town
and vicinity every summer, and usually proves
fatal among the cattle which it attacks. Here-tofore
there has been found no sure remedy for
it. We have heard of some losses by it recently.
A citizen of the neighborhood, who has recently
had several cows sick vvith the distemper, tried
the following prescription, Vv'hich produced a
cure in each case: Alum, one ounce; sulphur,
one ounce; dragon's blood, one ounce; saltpetre,
one ounce ; linseed oil, one quart; mix together
for a dose, and if no action is produced in twen-ty-
four hours, repeat the dose. This is a remedy
discovered by Mr. Stewart, a celebrated cattle-raiser
of Scotland.

Ah Auction Sale.
Poor Mrs. Johnson was going to sell out. A
tie less'than a year before Johnson had brought
:r out to our little settlement, and had built his
)ttage, and made the pleasantest home in the
iwn. But he had been hurt by a fallen tree,
id died, and now Mrs. Johnson was going home,
he was going to realize what she could from the
lie of tlie house and fixtures, and all the settlers
'ere on the qui vive to secure what they needed
)r their own scantily-furnished residences. The
ouse had been disposed of by private sale, the
oodnatured Sam Brown had volunteered his
3rvices as auctioneer, and all the arrangements
ad been completed for the auction. The day
ame, and with it a crowd of purchasers, who
rere all, with one exception, disposed to give
cod prices on acconut of the pretty Mrs. John-on.
The exception was old John Grimshaw,
fho never was known to be kindly disposed to
ny body.
Sam was in high feather, and secured such
dgh prices for the different articles that he be-came
excited. Old Grimshaw had bid frequeut-y,
but failed to purchase, as he would give noth-ng
like a fair price. At length the cooking-stove
vas put up, and old Grimshaw wanted it. It
S'as the bc.^t in the settlement, and he had none.
We had put up a job on him, and Sam had been
et iirto the secret. The stove was knocked down
;o GrimshaAv at twenty dollars, which was a fair
3rice, considering the freight we had to pay from
he nearest trading-post; but just as the old fel-ow
vv'as congratulating himself on his bargain,
5am sung out:
"NoYi'', gentlemen, how much for the pipe?"
"Why, the pipe gees witli the stove, of course,"
aid old Grimshaw.
' 'What did you sa.y, sir?" said Sam, innocently.
The claim was reiterated, but utterly repudia-ed.
"You are joking," said Sam. "V/hat am
bid for the stove-pipe?"
2t^° Is sold for ten cents^ and is worth
MaPvCH.—Transplant hardy Lettuce, dress Ar-tichoke
beds. Asparagus, Sea Kale, Rhubarb;
plant Broad Beans, Beet seed, Eape, Chives,
Horseradish, Leek, Lettuce, Melon seed in hot
beds, Peas, Potatoes, Ehubarb, Skirrets and es-culents
for seed; sow cabbage seed. Carrot, Cel-ery,
Egg-plant seed, Onion, Parsley, Parsnip^.
Pepper, Radish, Spinach, Tomato and Turnip
seed.
"Five dollars," "Six," "Seven," came in
quick succession from the crowd.
Old Grimshav/ was frantic. He knew-, as we
all did, that stove-pipe was not to be had in the
settlement, and probably not at the trading-post.
If he let this go he would have to v/ait two montlis
before he could use his stove, and he going to
housekeeping in a month. "Eight," said he,
with a sob. "Kine," sa;d L "Ten, and I'm
blessed if I'll give any more," said old Grimshaw.
It was knocded down to him, and Mrs. Johnson
was well pleased to have got thirty dollars for
her stove and pipe.
A clergyman, who owned a farm, found his
ploughman sitting on his plovf, resting his horse.
Quoth the clergyman: "John, wouldn't it be a
good plan for you to have a good stub-scythe here
and be cutting a few bushes along the fence while
the horse is resting a short time?" "Wouldn't
it be well, sir," said Jolm, "for you to have a
tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and vfhen they are
singing, peel 'em awiiile to be ready for the pot?"
. -^-i^v-^i'
A Scotchman went to a lawyer once for ad-vice,
and detailed the circumstances of the case.
"Have you told me the faC'S precisely as they
occurred ?" asked the lawyer. "Oh! aye, sir!"
replied he ; "I thought it best to tell ye the ]>iain
truth. Ye can put the lies into it yourself."

Poll Evil.
he difflculty in curing poll evil consists in the
[uent diseased condition of the bone and the
ilous nature of the abscess. If it is only a
pie abscess, it may be readily cured by open-it
with a sharp knife. The opening should
arge enough to admit three fingers, and deep
ugh to reach the bottom of the abscess. The
md should then be scrubbed out with a piece
poagc tied to the end of a stick, and waslied
m with soap and warm water. Compound
iture of benzoin sliould then be applied to it
h the swab, or a mixture of two ounces of
set oil, one ounce of creosote, and one ounce
oil of turpentine may be substituted. The
md should be dressed carefully once a day
il healed. If the bone is diseased, there is no
e of a speedy cure, and a surgeon should be
lied to.

A BeautiM Passage.
A very vain preacher having delivered a &ei
mon in the hearing of the Eev. Kobert Hall
pressed him with a mixture of Kelf-complacencj
and indelicacy, to state Avhat he thought of the
sermon. Mr. Hall remained silent for some time,
hoping that his silence would be rightly interpre-ted;
but this only caused the question to be
pressed with greater earnestness. At length Mr.
Hall admitted, "There was one very fine pas-sage."
"I am rejoiced to hear you say so. Pray,
sir, which was itf "Why, sir, it Vv'as the pas-sage
from the pulpit to the vestry."
"We met with this witty and unanswerable
retort in a sketch of a short trip through a portion
of Ireland. The writer is conversing with his
cab driver:
'You are a Catholic, Jimmy?'
'Yes, yer honor.'
'And you pray to the Yirgin Mary ?'
'I do, yer honor.'
'Well, there's no doubt she was a good v,-onian,
the Bible says so; but she may have been no
better than your mother or mine.'
'That's true, your honor. But then you'll
allow there's a mighty difference in their chil-dren
!'
<(»>
From Eigiit to Sixteen.
In these few years are the destinies of children
fixed, in forty-nine cases out of fifty—fixed by
the parent ! Let every father and every mother
solemnly vow, "By God's help, I'll fix my dar-ling's
destiny for good, by making home more
attractive than the street."
Two young men out riding were passing a
farmhouse where a farmer was trying to harness
an obstinate mule. "Won t he draw?" said one
of the men. "Of course," said the farmer, "he'll
draw the attention of eveiy fool that passes this
way." The young men drove on.
Mat.—Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cau
iiflower, &c., hoe them frequently and draw
earth to the stems; then thin oiit early plantings
of Beets, Carrots, Parsnips and Salsify, and sovi^
all kinds omitted last month. Transplant Cab-bage,
Lettuce, Tomato, Egg plant, from hot beds
to warm borders ; plant Beans, Bush or Bunch,
for a succession, Lima, Carolina, and other pole
beans. Cabbage plaiits, sow seed, if not done last
month, Carrot, Cauliflower, Cup, Cucumber, In-dian
Corn crops which have failed first sovving,
repeat Melons. Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Potatoes,
Pumpkin, Squash; sow Cabbage for winter. Corn
plant for a succession, finish sowing all kinds of
Aromatic, Pot, Sweet and Medicinal Herbs.
To 3Ial£e Water Cold iu tlie Sumnier.
The following is a simple mode of rendering
water almost as cold as ice: Let the jar, pitcher,
or vessel used for water be surrounded with one
or more folds of coarse cotton kept constantly
wet. The evaporation of the water will carry
off the heat from the inside and reduce it to
freezing point. In India and other tropical
regions where ice cannot be procured, this is
common. Let every mechanic or laborer have
at his place of emploj^ment two pitchers thus
provided with lids and covers, the one to contain
Vv'ater for drinking, the other for evaporation,
and he can ahvays have a supply of cold water
in warm weather. Any person can test tliis by
dipping a finger in water, and holding it in the
air of a warm day ; after doing this three or four
times, he will find his finger uncomfortably cold.
'Mrs. Swelkins, v/hat is a comet?" asked the
elder Mrs. Swelkins. 'Nothing but a predatory
star, with a mucilaginous tail,' said Mr. S. 'Jane,'
said Mrs. S., 'git the dictionair and hunt for them
air words; your father always did talk that way
afore we was married.'

A Bird's Eye Yiew of j^griculture.
When we consider that less than one-third of the
area of the United States, and less than a fifth o^
the entire domain of the United States, is mapped
into farms, and remember thnt of this farm
area only one-fonrth is tilled or mowed ; and
when we further reflect that the average yield
per acre could be doubled if the many could be
brought up to the plane of the few in the practice
ef intensive culture—then we begin to realize what
numbers our country is capable of feeding, and
what waste of toil and effort comes from neglect
of economic lessons taught by the statistics of sci-entific
agriculture.
We kuow that our wlieat occupies an area less
than the surface of South Carolina, and if the yield
should equal that of England, half of that aggre-gate
should suffice. We know of our national crop,
maize, v.'hich grows fi-um Oregon to Florida, and
yearly waves a broader field than all the cereals
beside, that it covers a territory larger than the
Old Dominion, and might produce its amplest stores
within narrower limits than the present boundaries
of Virginia. The jiotato crop could grow in the
area of Delaware, though yielding less than a hun'
dred bushels per acre ; the barley for our brewing
requires less than the area of a half-dozen counties;
and the weed »f solace, sufficient to glut our own
and also European markets, is grown on the area
of a county twenty miles square.
Mazin' (*race.
A fond mother in Ralls county, Missouri, has
named her daughter Mazin Grace. A neighbor
inquired howshe came to select such an odd name.
"La," said she, "I got it out of the hymn book."
The neighbor expressed surprise, and said she
never saw the name in any hymn book she had
used. "You haven't," said the mother of Mazin
Grace, "why, don't you recollect that familiar old
hymn commencing 'Mazin' grace, how sweet the
sound ?'"
JxiN-B.—Plant Kidney Beans, Peas, Pumpkin
seed. Summer Radish, Squash, Beets, thin out the
latter planted ; sow Beets and Carrots, transplant
Cabbage, Celery, Cucumber in hills, Peas may be
planted for a succession, also Corn ; as herbs
come into flower, they should be cut and put in a
shady place to dry. The chief labor of the Gar-den
had better be directed to what is already In
growth.
A Georgia negro was riding a mule, and when
he came to a bridge the mule stopped. " I'll bet
you a quarter," said Sambo, 'Tllmake you go
ober dis bridge," and with that struck the mule,
over the head, which made him nod suddenly.
"You take de bet, den ?" said the negro, and con-trived
to get the stubborn miile over the bridge.
'I won dat quarter,- anyhow," cried Sambo. "But
how will you get the money ?" asked a man who
had been close by, unperceived. "To-morrow,"
replied Sambo, "massa gib me a dollar to get
corn for de mijls, and I take the quarter out."
A very fat man, for the purpose of quizzing his
doctor, asked him to prescribe for a complaint,
v.-hich he declared was sleeping with his mouth
open. "Sir," said the doctor, "your disease is
incurable. Your skin is too short, so that when
when you shut your eyes your mouth opens."
It was " darling Georg3 " when a bridal couple
left Omaha ; it was "dear George" at Chicago ; at
Detroit it was ' 'George ;" and when they reached
Niagara Falls it was "Say, you."
A good suggestion is like a crying baby-should
always be carried out.

Conjectures of the Weather.—By Her-chel's
Table.—1, 2, 3, fair; 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, hot
.ud dry; 10, 11, 12, rain; 13, 14, 15, 16, showers:
7, 13, 19 23, mora rain; 20, 21, 23, 23, 24, <?ro,v-

'ery warm.
Why Avoid a Wetting-.
Few persons understand fully the reason why
vet clothes exert such a chilling influence. It is
implj^ this; Water, when it evaporates, carries
)ff an enormous amount of heat, in what is
;alled the latent form. One pound of water in
^apor contains as much heat as nine or ten pounds
)f liquid water, and all this heat must, of course,
)e taken from the body. If our clothes are mois-
;ened with three pounds of water; that is, if by
s^etting, they are rendered tliree pounds heavier,
,he«e three pounds will, in drying, carry off as
nuch heat as would raise three gabions of ice-jold
water to the boiling point. ISTo wonder that
lamp clothes chill us.
Why Some People are Poor.
Cream is allowed to mould and spoil. Silver
5poons are used to scrape kettles. The scrubbing
brush is left in the water. White handled knives
ire thrown into hot water. Brooms are never
rang np, and are soon spoiled. Dish-cloths are
lung where mice can destroy. Tubs are left in
he sun to dry and fall apart. Clothes are left
)n the line to whip to pieces in the wind. The
3ie crust is allowed to sour, instead of making a
'ew tarts for tea. Dried fruit is not taken care
)f in season and becomes Avormy. Vegetables
ire thrown away that would do to warm for
jreakfast. The cork is left out of the sugar jar,
md the flies take possession. Bits of meat are
hroAvn out that would make hashed meat or
lash. Colfee, tea, pepper and spices are left to
stand open and lose their strength. Pork spoils
'or the want of salt, and beef because the brine
^ants scaldins;.
Here is a Japanese receipt for keeping meat
'resh in hot weather: "Place it in a clean porce-ain
bowl and pour very hot water over it so as
.0 cover. Then pour oil upon the water. The
lir is thus quite excluded and the meat pre-served."
July.—Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks,
Pepper plants, Cauliflower and Broccoli; soav
Carrots and Parsnips if needful, sow Endive for
earlj^ crop, a few Turnips may be sown ; trans-plant
Celery for early supply, and prepare
trendies for the main crop. Spinach may be
sown towards the last of the month. Irish pota-toes
plant. Cucumbers for pickles plant, plant
Bea®s ; sow Cabbage seed for Collards, sow Sum-mer
Radish in drills, sow Turnip rooted Cabbage
seed, cut Fennel, Mint, Parsley, sweet Majoram,
Thyme, Winter and Summer Savory. Cut herbs
for winter use, as they come into flower.
Andrew Jackson was once making a speech in
a countrj^ village out West. Just as he was con-cluding,
Amos Kendalli who sat beside him,
whispered, "Tip 'em with a little Latin, Gene-ral,
they Avon't be satisfied Avithout it." The
"Hero of Ncav Orleans " instantly thought of a
few phrases he knew, and in a voice of thunder,
AA'ound up his speech by exclaiming: " E pluri-bus
unum, Sine quaa non, Ne plus ultra, Multum
in parvo." The effect was tremendous, and the
shouts could be heard for miles.
This is how it happened doAvn in Soutliwest
Missouri
:
He found a rope, and picked it up,
And Avith it Avalked away.
It happened that to t'other end
A liorse Avas hitched, they say.
They found a tree, and tied the rope
Unto a swinging limb.
It happened that the other end
Was somehow hitched to him.
Success in life is very apt to make us forget
the lime when v,-e weie not much, It is jusrt so
Avith a frog on a jump; he can't remember when
he Avas a tadpole, but other folks can.

Tlie Moon as a Farmer.
A farmyr tells us that he does uot doubt hnt
fully oue-luilf of the tillers of the soil in this
country believe in the good and bad influences
of the moon in the development of vegetation,
and year after year they follow the directions
that have come down to us from far-off genera-tions
of men. The same i-emark v/ill hold good
for agricultural communities the world over.
Products that fruit under ground as potatoes,
turnips, &c. , are duly planted in the dark of the
moon, while those that fruit in the light are
planted or sown in the full of the moon. The
same rule holds, they say, in the setting of fence
posts and the laying of shingles; if set in the dark
of the moon posts will last longer, and shingles
will not curl up ;is they say they will do if they
are laid in the light of the moon. " Hitch your
wagon to a star," is a transcendental sentence of
Emerson's. Agi-iculturists do not go so far as
that—at Iciisi \^(i never saw a wagon thus
"hitched"—horses, mules, oxen, steers, covs,
heifers, &c. , being the usual motor.s; but ]) If
the agricultural world seem to taKe moi" > I

How to ¥ee|) a Situation.
Be ready to throw in an odd lialf-liour or an
lour's time when it will be an accommodation,
,ud don't seem to make a merit of it. Do it
leartily. Though not a word be said, your em-
)loyer will make a note of it. Make yourself
adispensable to hini, and he will lose many of
lie opposite kind before he will part witii you.
riiese young men who watch the clock to see
he very second their Avorking hour is up—who
eave, no matter what state the work may be in,
t precisely the instant—who calculate the exact
imouul: they can slight their work, and yet not
;et reproved—who are lavish of their employer's
joods—will always be the first to receive notice,
vhen times are dull, that tlieir services arc no
onger required.
The pride of mankind is great. A night or
wo ago a family in New York was awakened
)y unusual noises in the house, and on turning
)ut, saw the eldest hopeful rushing about in his
!uspendets, brandishing a new V/es;-;ou, and

A (xOO(i Answer.
N.jvor was a better answer made than that by
a p:)or Irishman to a Catholic priest while de-fondiug-
himself for reading the Bible:
'But,' said the priest, 'the Bible is for the priest,
and not for the like o' you.'
'All! but, sir,' he answered, 'I was reading in
my Bible, you shall read it to your children, and
sure the priests have got no children.'
'But, Michaelj' says the piiest, 'you cannot
understand the Bible. It is not for you to un-derstand
it, -my man.'
'Ah ! very well your riverence, if I cannot un-derstand
it, it will do me no harm, and what I
can understand does me a heap o' good.'
'Very well, Mike,' said the priest, 'you must
go to church, and the church will teach you. The
church will give you the milk of the Word.'
'And where does the church get it from but out
of the Bible? Ah! your riverence, I would rather
keep the cow myself.'

Little Tiling's.
Little villages are nearer to being atoms of
shattered paradi.ses than any thing we know of;
and little fortunes bring tlie most content and
little hopes the least disappointments.
Little words are the sweetest to hear ! little
charities fly furtliest, and stay longest on the
wing; little lakes are the stillest, little hearts the
fullest, and little farms the best tilled.
Little booics ars the most read, and little songs
the most loved. And when nature would make
anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes
it little—little pearls, little diamonds, little dews.
'Everybody, says a writer, calls tliat little that
they love best on earth. We once heard a good
sort of a man speak of his little wife, and we
fancied that she must be a perfect little bijou of
a wife. We saw lier, and she weighed two hun-dred
and ten pounds; we were surprised J3ut
it was no joke; the man meant it. He couidput
his wife in liis iieart, and have room for other
things besides; and what was she but precious,
and what was she but little V'
Multum in parvo—much in little—is the great
beauty of all that we lovs best, iiope for the most,
and remember the longest.

Worth Remenifeering.
Keep some strong spirits of hartshorn in a
ground glass stopped bottle. A teaspoonful in a
tablespoonful of water will clean combs and
brushes and restore colors injured by acids. A
weaker solution, applied to lU-smelling feet and
arm-pits removes the odor at once, and also re-moves
the grease spots from carpets and clothing.
A weak solution in water makes a good wash for
the hair, and stimulates its growth v/jien impaired
by fever, and cleanses the scalp effectually. A
weak solution, scattered over the leaves of plants,
from a soft, fine, limber brush, gives new life to
plants. Even if a little is sprinkled over the
earthat their roots, their growth is invigorated.
Piedmont & Arlington has heen tried hy the
October.—Beans planted last mouth cultivate,
cabbage transplant, also cauliiiower and broccoli,
turnips hoe. Onions sown last month will be
ready to transplant, small bulb onions set out.
Spinach for winter use sow, celery earth up in
dry weather, and transplant from the bed for
further supplies, also lettuce for spring use, rad-ishes
sow as required, asparagus beds dress.
Strawberries 'tn nsplant, take up potatoes and
other roots, secure them from wet and frost,
collect pumpkins and winter squash, and expose
them to the winds and air, on a dry bench beforti
they are stowed awaj'.
To Make i4ood Yinegar.
Mis one poimd of honey with tv/o pounds of
cider, diluted with two gallons of water, and in
a keg or stone jug expose to tlie sun or where it
will keep warm; and in a few weeks it will be a
very strong vinegar, r-iore wholesome than tha,t
which is sold.
Who is the stralghtest man mentioned in the
Bible? .Joseph, because Pliaroah m.ade a ruler
of him. And that's why he remained stationary
in Egypt.
A couple of neighbors became so inimical that
they would not speak to each other, but one of
them having been converted at a camp-meeting,
on seeing his lornrer enemy, held out his hand,
saying: "How d'ye do, Kemp? I am humble
enough to shake hands with a dog."
Wliy is a pig with a tvidsted tail like the ghost .

Jones claims to be a granger because he raises

Eg-g's for Burns.
The white of an egg has proved of late the most
efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eiglit
applications of this substance soothe the pain and
effectually exclude the bum from the air. This
simple remedy seems preferable to collodion or
even cotton. Extraordinary stories are told of
the healing properties of a new oil which is easily
made from the yolks of hens' eggs. The eggs are
first boiled hard, the yolks are then removed,
crushed and placed over a fire, wliere they are
carefully stirred until the whole substance is just
on tlie point of catching fii-e, when the oil sepa-rates
and maybe poured off. It is in general use
among the colonists of Southern Bnssia as a
means of curing cuts, bruises and scratches.
l^To^ E.MBER.—Cabbage may be la^en up and
laid in rows against a ridge, so as to form a
square, compact, close-growing bed, the roots
and stems buried up to the lower leaves of cab-bages,
the beds may then be covered with straWj
or a tempoi-ary shed erected over them, beets dig
and store, carrots dig and store, celery cartli up
finally, onions in store examine, turnips and
salsify dig for convenient access, now is a good
time to transplant fruit and ornamental trees,
shrubberj'-; Spring is a better time for transplant-ing
evergreens.
What is the greatest want of the age ? Want
of funds.

The Whole Loaf.
A. gentleman relates: Some years since I boar-ded
at a hotel, the proprietor of which was a
newly married man. The ro.aiden name of his
spouse was Crumb. Immediately after marriage,
and when the hotel business commenced, old
lady Crumb, her daughter Peggy, and ' her two
sons, John and Ike, regularly domiciled tbefn-selves
within the hospitable ways of the inn. The
landlord was a good-natured, easy-going sort of
a fellow, not quite as smart as some folks; but
one day he got off the following : x^ddressing
me he said, 'Look-a-hayr, Sam, I'll tell you how
it is; v>hen I got married I thought I v/as getting
a Crumb, but I'll be hanged if I don't believe I
got the hull loaf."
A youth I will call George, was engaged to |3e
married, but was financially unable to pay the
minister. His affianced wanted the affair brought
to a finale, but George kept putting her off with
promises, saying he -was not able to marry, etc.
Finally she said, 'Dear George, I am willing to
marry you, if we have to live on bread and water.'
'Well, well,' cried 'George' in desperation, 'you
furnish the bread, and I'll try and skirmish
around and hunt up enough water.'

. Keep Your Top Cool.
Artemiis Ward once during a journey across tlie
Plains, offered a stage driver a drink of whiskey
from his flask, which was refused in most decided
terms. Said the driver
—
'I don't drink. I won't drink. And I don't
like to see anybody else drink. I am of the opin-ion
of those mountains
—
Keep your top cool.
They've got snow, and I've got brains ; that's ail
the difference.'
• There is a wealth of wisdom in the pententione
remark. 'Keep your top cool.' The fountain of
man's power and hapjjiness is in his brain. Alco-hol
is a foe of the brain, and when it gets there,
either benumbs it or perverts its action. Remem-ber
the stage driver's curt philosophy.
Kot All Lost.
A bankrupt merchant, returning home one
night, said to his wife
:
'My dear, I am ruined ; every thing we have is
in the hands of the sheriff !
'
After a fe^v moments of silence, the wife looked
into his face and said :
'Will the sheriff sell you ?'
'Ob, no.'
'Will the sheriff sell me ?'
'Oh, io.'
'Will the sheriff sell the children ?'
'Oh, no!'
'Then do not say we have lost everything. All
that is most valuable remains to us—manhood,
womaniiood, childhood. We have lost but the
results of our skill and industry. We can make
another fortune :t our hearts and hands are left
us,'

How to Keep Well.
Learn how, Avliat, and when to eat and drink,
how and when to sleep, how to exercise and how
to clothe yourself, and how to regulate and con-trol
your appetites and passions. After having
learned all "this, put it in practice.
Decembeb.—Everything that needs protection
should now be attended to. If the weather be
open the ground may be ploughed or trenched to
receive the benefits of the winter frost. Compost
prepare, dung prepare for hot beds, hot beds at-tend
to. Radish and Salad sow in frames, also
lettuce, transplanting trees may still be done,
prune fruit trees, vines, &c., transplant all hardy
plants. .
" 1 (lOts Jfuff Mit Sneli Eooiishiiess."
It is jpleasant to become a parent ; twice as
pleasant, perhaps, to be blessed with twins; but
when it comes to triplets we are a little dubious.
Now, there dwells in Jefferson county. Wisconsin,
a worthy German, who a few years ago was pre-sented
by his wife with a son. Hans said to her
:
'Katrine, dat ish goot.'
A couple of years later the good woman placed
before his astonished gaze a bouncing pair of
twins.
'Veil,' said Hans, 'Dat vash petter ash der oder
dinie : I trinks more ash ten glass peer on dat.'
But the good woman next time gave birth to
triplets, and that made him 'shpoke mit his mout
shust a liddle.'
'Mein Gott, Katrine ! vat ish de matter on J^ou?
Petter you shtop dis pizness 'fore der come more

No later returns have been received.

A. Fanner's Experience.
That the success of farming is in experience.
That to ask a man's advice is not stooping, but
often of much benefit.
That to keep a. place for everything and every-thing
in its place, saves many a stf^p and is pretty
sure to lead to good tools, and to keeping them in
good order.
That kindness to stock is like good shelter, and
is a saving of fodder.
That to fight -weeds is to favor grain, and to do
justice to your neighbors.
That in making home agreeable, you keep your
boys out of the city.
That it is a good thing to keep an eye on expe-riments,
and note all, both good and bad.
That it is a good thing to grow into farming
—
not jump into it.
Worth liBowing'.
Dr. Glass, living near Granby, who is clearing
tip a new farm, has been troubled with a large
number of big oak st:imps. He had heard that
saltpetre was good for stumps. Accordingly, about
a couple of months ago he sprinkled nn the top of
each stump about a tablespoonf'il of pulverized
saltpetre. A few days ago he se .ire to the stumps,
and says they commenced and continued to bum
until every stump was totally consumed, roots and
all, so that he was alile to plow without the least
difficulty over t' t very ground formerly occupied
by the same st jops. He says some of the stumps
burned foui- r five days.
Everlasting Fence Posts.
I discovered, many years ago, that wood could
be made to last longer than iron in the ground,
but thought the process so simple and inexpensive
that it was not worth while making any stir about
it. I would as soon have poplar, basswood, or
quaking ash as any other kindof timberfor fence
posts aftar having been set seven years, v/hich
were as sound when taken out as when they wei'e
first put in the ground. Time and weather seem
to have no effect on them. The posts can be pre-pared
for less than two cents apiece. This is the
receipt: Take boiled linseed oil and'stir in pulve-rized
charcoal to the consistency of paint. Put a
coat of this over the timber, and there is not a
man that will live to see it rot.
To Keep Cattle free of Lice.
Water in which potatoes have been boiled pos-sesses
a poison fatal to lice. Dip into it a large
sponge or woolen cloth, and wash the cattle freely,
choosing a sunny, warm day for the operation
;
and as their hides dry, comb tliem with a curry-comb,
and see yourself the effects of the water.

Sub-Soiling.
The soil, by its weight, is constantly trying to
form rock under it in the sub-soil It is the farm-er's
businass to see that it don't do it. His plough
and spnde are the means to prevent it, hut especially
the Sub-soil plough ; that is the secret of success
generally ; but particularly is it the case v/ith our
compact soil in many parts of the State. Sub-soil
ploughs are more needed by us than anything else.
lf«,ss. Ploughvian.
Cotton Worms.
It is said that Paris Green, mixed with 2.5 parts
of common flour, or ashes, dusted on the cotton
plant, Mhile the dew is on, will kill the destructive
cotton worm. As it is very poisonous, care must
be taken in using it. Put it in a tin can or box,
perforated with small holes. Tie it on the end of
a stick 6 or 8 feet long, and hold so that the wind
may blow it from you.
A very small quantity only is needed on each
leaf to protect it.
Give it a trial and report.

uertain Remedy for Offensive Breath.
Take from six to ten drops of Labarraque's so-lution
of chloride soda (can be purchased at any
drug store) and put it in a -wineglassfnl of pure
water. Taken immediately after the operations
are completed, this will instantly sweeten the
breath by disjinfecting the stomach, which, far
from being impaired, will be benefitted by the
medicine. If necessary, the dose may be repeated
in the middle of the day. In some cases the odor
arising from the carions teeth is combined with
that of the stomach: if the mouth be well rinsed
with a teaspoonful of the solution in a tumblerful
of water, the bad odor of the teeth will be re-moved.
A cure for boils is a bunch of lint or cotton
moistoned with a strong solution of salemtus, and
apphed to a boil or a carbuncle iu its forming stage,
wall, it is said, prevent suppuration.
A Chinese cure for hydrophobia is to give the
patient a decoction of t\ie leaves of stramoiiium,
in doses large enough to keep him delirious for
twenty-four hours. It is said that the hydropho-bic
symptoms disappear on the appearance of the
deliriuD3, and do not return.

To EeniOTe Warts from Hands.
Purchase a dime's worth of spirits of hartshorn;
bathe warts, or, if very numerous, thst portion of
the hand, where the warts are, with a small por-tion
of the spirits of hartRhorn, efich night and
morning, for about three weeks, not washing the
the hands immediately afti^r. The use of it will
not cause any pain unless it comes in contact with
a cut or bruise. A cure is usually eflfeoted in about
three weeks.
The same treatment for corns is one of the most
eftectusl remedies ever tried; ] taring the surface
of the corn each day as it grows hard ; being care-ful
not to pare so close as to draw blood or to make
them tender. Keep the vial containing the spirit
well corked, as it soon evaporates.
Remedy for Cha|>ped Hands.
Take one ounce of bitter almonds, peel and
mash them into a paste with oil of sweet almonds
and the yolk of an eng, adding a little tincture of
benzoin, so as to form a thick cream. Now add
a few drops of oil of carraway. It is to be rubbed
on the hands at night, and kid gloves should be
worn duritie the ti eatmenfc.
Prescription for Cholera.
The following prescription was adopted by the
college of physicians in Philadelphia in 1866. Ifc
has been repeatedly pubhshed, but, as it has stood
the test of many years of experience, it will hear
republication at this time. It is regarded by
many as probably the very best prescription that
can be used for cholera in its incipient stages:
Laudanum, 2 ounces ; spirits of camphor, 2
ounces ; tincture of capeicum, }4 ounce ; tincture
of ginger, 1 ounce ; essence of peppermint, 2
ounces ; Hoffman's anodyne. 2 oxmces. If the
anodyne cannot be readily obtained, substitute
sulphuric aether—half the quantity. Mix tho-roughly
an d shake well every time it is used. Giv@
or take from ten to twenty-five drops, according
to age, condition and violence of attack, llepeat
evcy twenty minutes until relief is obtained. In
a desperate case take a tablespoonful at once.
Take it in an equal quantity of water, ar.d lie on
the back quietly or in an easy sittiug posture, with
the back supported till it has full opportunity to
work. Carry a small phial in the pocket ; with a
few lumps of white sugar upon which to drop it,
to be used in sudden emergencies.
Cur© for Croup.
When the symtoms nppear, immediatelj' fold a
towel, dip it in cold water, and apply it to the
child's breast and throat ; then wrap a blanket
closely around him, or bathe the feet well in warm
water, at the same time rubbing the throat and
breast with mutton, tallow or goose grease ; then
envelope in a warm blanket. Either of these
modes will check the disease till the arrival of a
phy.sician, and in many cases will of themselves
effect a cure.

Rules for a Sick Eoom.
Keep the patient and all about him perfectly
clean, and seciire a^s far as possible pure air. The
chamber should be ventilated at least once a day,
or twice if it can be borne. The bed clothes
should be carried cut into the open air, if it is
dry—if not, into the next room ; and if the patient
is unable to si't up meanwhile, let them be supplied
by others.
Keep the room quiet and in perfect order.
Let the sick be addressed in a gentle voice, and
the conversation, if any is admitted, be pleasar.t
and cheering. The nurse and friends should ex-press
sympathy with the sufferer, but at the same
time seek to inspire courage, and patience to en-dure.
Never dispute with a very sick person, nor re-prove
him for any seeming inconsistency. Re«
A nurse should be of a pleasant, agreeable, per- member that he is hardly a responsible being.

Economy iu Cooliiiig'.
It m;iBt not be imagined that good cooking re-quire;^
increased expenditure. On t!ie contrary, a
reallj' good cook is? far more economical than a
bad one. Thtt cook is perpetnally wanting sauces
to season her dishes, is not worth the salt she uses
The good cook, moreover, tiiows how to niakfcthe
Diost of everything, while the bad cook is exces-sively
WcLsteful of the best material.
How to Make ColTce.
Take any kind of coffee pot or urn, and suspend
a bag made of felt or heavy flannel, so long that
it reaches the bottoun, hound on. a wire fitting on
top; put in the fresh ground coS'ee and pour on
freely boiled water. The fluid filters through the
bag, and may be used at once, needs no settling
and retains all its aroma. Do not boil it.
Soda Biscuit.
Into a pan containing irve qunits sifted flour,
put two even teaspoonfuls pulverized soda and a
little salt—having a liole in the centre of the flour
already prepared : pour into the flour .four cups
of sour milk—all the better if partly cream ; stir
the milk ard soda a njinute, till it foams; then
mix with flour into a stiff dov.gh, if isprinn' wbe-it:
work bat lictle, and get it into the oven as quickly
as possible. Some of my nicest biscuits have
been made and baked in twenty minutes.
Corn Brea^l.
Take four cups sour milk, one of these partly
filled with creaiu ; one egg, a little salt, two even
teaspoonfuls pulverized soda; mix the soda with
a very little corn meal, and stir fdtogethor, till it
foams ; then add corn meal till a thin batter is
obtained, and pour into hot tiii-^, oiled, an inch
deep, and bake in a quick oven.
To Stop tlie Rayag-es of Moths.
CamT>hor will not stop the ravages of moths in
carpets after they have commenced eating. Then
they pay no regard to the presence of camphor,
cedar or tobacco. A good way to kill them is to
take a coarse crash towel and ring it out of clean
water. Spread it smoothly on the carpet, then
iron it dry with a good hot iron, repeating the op-eration
on all suspected places, and those least
used. It does not injure the pile or color of the
carpet in the least ; it is not neces.'';ary to press
hard, heat and steam being the agents, and they
do the work effectually on worms and eggs. The:)
the camphor will doubtless prevent future depre-dations
of the miller.
Hard Soap.
A receipt for hard soap, which is excellent and
economical : Nearly every family accumulates
through the winter drippings from beef and mut-ton.
These can be utilized for the grease by boil-ing
in water, allowing it to cool, then removing
from the water and boiling till all the water is ex-pelled.
Of course the whiter the greuf-e the nicer
the soap. Take six j)ounds sal soda, six pounds
grease, three and a half pounds new .lone lime,
four gallons soft water, half pound borax. Put
soda, lime and water into an iron boiler, boil till
all is dissolved. Yv'hen well settled pour off the
clear ley, wash out the kettle and pour in the iej,
grease and borax, boil till it comes to soap, pour
into a tub to cool, and when hard cut into bars
and put on boards to dry. This is very nice for
washing white flannois and calico.
Sliirt Fronts.
The following starch not only gives a gloss to
the linen hut imparts a new appearance to it, and
makes niuslin perfectly clean. To a tablespoon-ful
of starch put a large tablespoonful of clear
prepared gum, a lump of loaf sugar, and a pinch
of salt ; mix with a little cold water, and stir till
quite smooth, then add suflicient boiling water to
Kiake it clear and of a proper consisteiicy ; a wax
candle n)ay be stirred twice round it, not more.
To lleniOTe Mildew.
Soak the parts of the cloth that are mildcv/ed in
two parts of chloride of lime to four parts of
water, for about two hours, or till the mildew has
disappeared; then thoroughly rinse it in clean
water.
To Clean Tinware.
An experienced housekeeper says the best thing
for cleaning tinware is common soda. Dampen a
cloth and dip in soda and rub the ware briskly,
after which wipe dry and it will look equfil to new.
Good Liquid Glue, for household purposes, may
l>e made by mixing 3 oz. gum arable, 3 oz. dis-tilled
vinegar, with 1 oz. white sugar. Instead of
the distilled vinegar, one part acetate acid and five
parts water may be substituted.
A Stair Carpet should never be swept down with
a long broom, Init always with a short-handled
brush, and a dustqjan held closely under each
step of the stairs.
Ottomans and Sofas, whether covered with ,
cloth, damask, or chintz, will look much the bet-ter
for beiug cleaued occasionally with bran and
flannel.
