BAKED BEETs.

A good housewife assures US that the
mode Of cooking beets herein described, Is
preferable to all others -
I I" Beet root cannot be too much recon-
mended 10 the notice Of mankind, as n cheap
and salubrious substitute for the now failing
and diseased potato. Hitherto the rcd kind
has been only used in England as q pickle.
or as q garnish for salad; even tho few who

the rich saccharine juice is lost, and the
root consequently rendered less nutritious
by the quantity Of water it imbibes, as well
as by parting with the native syrup, Of which
ID is, therefore, strongly recommended to
bake instead Of boiling them, whom they will

food. This Is not an untried novelty, for
both red and white beet roo, are extensively
used on the continent; In Italy, particular

Improve the Dry Weather.

Although we are not suffering with any
drouth at the present time, vet, as il IS now
drier than il has been, and tho springs and
streams lower than they have been This sea-
son, and lower than they will DO by-and-by
when the fall rains commence, it will be
well to improve tho opportunity OF doing
mpy things.
Those who have wells to dig should do II
now so as to reach the lOwes. stage Of water,
and make sure Of enough. otentimes the
neglect Of digging foot or two further when
sinking we'll causes disappointment, and
the necessity Of performing much more labor
hereafter.
Those who have land, that need draining,
will hnd this favorable time to do IL whe,h-
er it be bog or upland, In undertaking
uplands We have recently seen rule given
which we do not fully agree to. A writer
on thi, subjcc. advises to dig holes in those
fields which may be though to require drain
ing two or three feet deep, aud if water
stands in them the field should be under
drained. They most certainly should be-
But it does not follow If the water should
not stand in them now that they do not need
undertaking. We know Of fields that
may be as dry as bone now, that are in the
spring of the year so saturated with water
that they cannot be cultivated as they should
be, and thus remain until it is too late tc
SOW or plant. Such fields should be under
drained in order that they may be dry
enough to cultivate in due season. Being
drained then will not make them any drier
now. .......... ....
Those who have chance to dig m,ck
and peat should improve it now BY all means.
If you cannot dig and haul into your yards
now, dig !, and lay it in such q place and
manner that you can do il in the winter
This can be done. The muck or peat may
be frozen rs hard Us wood, bu. it may be
cut up in junks I'VE once knew man 10
saw it up with his crOsscut saw, and load
the frozen blocks into his sled and haul them
home with good profit.
Swamps, when you have bushes to cut
may be now cleared. BY throwing the
bushes into heaps or winrOws, they will soon
be dry enough to burn Of. Bushes that are
quito green, may be burnt by making hot

green ones slowly and with pole crowding
them down into the FIRE. Many other per-
,nanent improvements may now be made by
taking advantage Of the dry weather.

tritive principle is difused through large
tain, Ike sugar, large amount OF h'sn'y
mass Of aliment.
With few individuals, sweets OF all kinds
produce nausea or uneasy sensations 10 the
stomaeh-it is needless to say, that in such
cases should be reirained from, or used only
in very minute quantities.
With dyspeptics, generally, sugar is very
apt to disagree. DR.. Phillips informs u.s.
tha. he has known several who were obliged
to abstain even from the small quantity used
in tea.
Preserves are merely different kinds Of
fruits boiled to certain extent in sugar or
molasses. The same remarks, very nearly,
will, therefore, apply to them as to the lat.

or bread, they form On innocent, IL not nd.

to observe, that when formed from veseta-
bles, very tough, Ofa woody iibre, or other
wise Of an indigestible nature, they inyaria-
bly, disturb the stomach, Notwithstanding
the sugar with which they are combined.
The great; perhaps the only objection to
the use Of preserves in general, during o
state Of health is, that they are generally
eaten with the dessert, after psrtaking Of
hearty dinner, or at the close ofs substan-
,ial supper. Under such circumstances,
they almost invariably impede digestion.
and by running into fermentation In the
stomach, produce heartburn, collie, and other
uneasy sensations. They IRE very apt, also,

Caution should be observed in regard to
the vessels in which preserves are kept. A

of lancaster county, Penn, were attacked

cause Of which was traced to the use of ap-
ple-butter, "a species OF prcse,s,) which

heard the rus,ling OF her dusky robe,
Like some lone queen, exiled and fun Of woe,
And weeping round the globe.
I heardthe murmurs Of the falling streams
Far OF and low, ths, droned dreamy tune;
wandered down the purple Vale OF Dreams,
Beneath the summer moon.
And trembling to my open easement, came
Sweeps OF strange music, blown from or the sea.
Enlieing voices seemed TO call my name,
And winds to talk 10 ps. .s.t

Lament no longer Tor thy sad estate. ...
Arse, and trim thy sail, aud come away,
And triumph over Fate.
Gay dwellers in the Happy Isles are We,
Who know not any care, by nigh, or day.
Our home lies fair upon the fsr or sea;
Sad mortal, cone away
To ton all day beneath the orange nees,
Beside the noise Of crystal spoutinss sPonSs,
In spicy climes, with no remcmbrances

To chase the creamy ripples as they run
