APPLE JELLY.-Sice thirteen large apples very
thin, without pairing them; then cover them with water
boil and strain them, and to the juice add pound and
half of loaf sugar. and as much lemon juice as your
taste may direct Clarity it with eggs and boil it to
Jelly. It is an exceedingly delicate, palaeabe and
beautiful dish fit to grace any wedding table, the wr-
ter having partaken of it on such an occasion, the
house-keeper above named forming the centre OF at
traction at the time 1t is also very fine in sickness
BOILED CoRN-A writer in the Indiana Farmer
says the way to prepare for the table Is not to put
in pot and boil it for an hour or rather until it is
good for nothing but to throw to the hogs but simply
toput on your water and when it boils, then put IN
your corn with little sat-cover up tight and let 1t
boil five minutes or until the cob is heated through;
then the corn is done and you have all the sweet and
nutricous qualities without any of its injurious effects
BUcKwHEAT CAKEs.-Buckwheat cakes, after
standing to rise all night much improved by ad-
ding just before baking sour cream and saleratus-
say, tea cup full for two quarts of the batter Ihls
treatment improves the flavor, and makes them richer
and lighter. 1t was discovered by noted housekeep-
er in the western part of the State, where fine hot
buckwheat cakes and keen appetites, on frosty morn
ings, often go together
Corn CAKE.-Two tea cups of buttermilk, one Of
sour cream previously sweeened with saeratls, one
table spoonful of moasses, and Indian meal to make Il
nearly as stiff as mullins. Bake half an hour. Tho
roughly tried by the above mentioned housekceper

PotatOes for .fattening AaimaLS.-We have
repeatedly expressed favorable opinion of pota-
toes for fattening stock-an opinion which
though opposed to the theories of some, we be-
Iieye to be based on fact. The following extract
from letter of gentleman of extensive prac-
tice as farmer, corresponds generally with our
own experience {: "Those persons who are of
opinion that potatoes cannot fatten either hogs or

WHEAT CULTURE.
s@'Several articles have appeared in the Cuhi0a-
tor on this subject which | heartily approve, es-
pecially those written by my worthy friend d.
Lapham, | entirely concur with hun in respect
to the cause of rust and believe that Lime is the
proper agent TO prevent the disease, when prop
erIy applied on suitable soils-such soils | mean
as have been long used and worn out, as some
farmers say. If such grounds were we'll plowed
during the summer, and sown with wheat in the
fall, with an application of thirty or forty bush
els OF lime per acre. and the ensuing February
sow at the rate Of one bushel of clover seed to
seven acres Of wheat let the clover occupy the
ground for two years, at the end Of that time |
think the soil would be fully resuscitated and
produce better crop than at any previous time
The ground does not receive the full benefit Of
the lime until the second or third year after it is
applied. The proper time to sow wheat seems
to be from the tenth to the twenty-6fth Of Sep
TENDER; when sown earlier than this it would
probably be in less danger from the rust but in
greater danger from the fly. | have observed
for several years past, that wheat sown after the
first of October is generally greatly injured BY
the rust

DRINKING SONG.

Drink, friends, drink deep-the moon is high;
Drink, and forget your care
The sulry summer suns are nigh
Drink, and your strength repair
The deer, that from the hunter flies,
The warrior, red with slaughter,
The camel meath the burning skies,
Quaff deep the chrystal water!
Our father Sun, the example gives
Our mother, Earth, also;
He, joound, drinks above the clouds,
She, blushing, drinks below
Pledge high, pledge long, the friends you love,
To absent wife and daughter,
Or blooming maid who rules your heart,
Drink deep-bld only ,OGteE

Cav! cav. cried the crow,

What thief stole away

Chuck! cluck! said the hen,
Don't ask me again:
Why, | hav'nt chick

We all gave her feather,
And she wove them together
I'd scorn to intrcde
On her and her brood;
Cluck, cluck, said The hen,

IT'S very cruel, too,
Said little Alice Neal;
wonder if he knew
How sad the BIRD would feel!
A little boy hung down his head,
And went and hid behind the bed;
For he stole that pretty most,
From the poor little yellow breast;
And he felt so full of shame
He didn't like to tell his name.

SMILE ON ME.

Smile on me still
The rose needs not the summer light,
The bird needs not the sheltering tree,
So much as !, in sorrows night,
Need smiles from thee.
Smile on me still
0 never let thine eye grow cold,
Thy cherished voice grow stern to me;
But let thy lip, as oft of old,
Still smile on me.
