In some advice to eonsumptiVes. DR..
Hall says: EAT all you can digest and
exercise a great deal in the open air, to
convert what you eat into pure healthful
blood. Do not be afraid of outdoor air
day or night; do not be afraid Of sudden
changes Of weather, let no changes, hot
or cold, keep you in doors. If it is rainy
Gather, the more need for your going
out, because you eat as much on a rainy
day as on clear day, and if you exercise
less much more remains that ought to be
thrown off by exercise, and some ill re.
suit, some consequent symptom of i'll feel
ing is the certain issue. If it is cold out
of doors do not mufle your eyes, mouth
and nose in furs, wells, wooden comforts,
and the like. Nature has supplied you
with the best muffler, with the best inhal-
ing regulator, that is two lips. Shut them
before you step out of warm room in
the cold air, and keep them shut until
you have walked briskly few rods and
quickened the circulation little; wall
fast enough to keep off feeling of chill
mess, and taking cold will be impossible.
What are the facts of the case? Look at
the railroad conductors, going out of a
hot air in the piercing cold of winter, and
in again every FIVE and ten minutes, and
yet they do not take cold oftener than
others; you will scarcely find a consump-
tive man in q thousand of them. 1t is
wonderful how afraid consumptive people
are of fresh air, the very thing that would
cure them. the only obstacle to cure being
that they do not get enough of it, and
yet what infinite pains they take to avoid
breathing it, especially ifit is cold, when
it is known that the colder the air is the
purer it must be. Yet if people cannot
get hot climate they will make an artl-
fetal one, and imprison themselves a
whole winter in a warm room, with q
temperature not varying ten degrees in
six months. ALI such people die. and
yet we follow in their footsteps. If /
were seriously i'll of consumption l would
live out of doors day and night, except it
was raining or mid-winter, then would
sleep in an upholstered log house. My
consumptive friend, you want air. not
physic; you want pure air, not medicated
air; you want nutrition, such as plenty of
meat and bread will give, and they alone.
Physic has no nutriment; gasping for air
cannot cure you; monkey capers in a
gynasium cannot cure you. If you want
to get well go in for beef and outdoor
air, and do not be deluded into the grave
by newspaper advertisements and un6n-
dable ceNi6ers."

SAVING CABBAGEs.-The best way to
preserve Cabbages green all winter, so
that their good qualities shall in no man
ner deteriorate, is as follows:-As late
this month as the weather will allow dig
out your cabbages that you have set apart
for winter use,-dig trenches, say eigh-
teen or twenty inches apart, and from
twelve totwenty feet in length, as may be
most convenient, and in accordance with
the quantity to be preserved,-trdnsplant
your cabbages firmly in these trenches, as
closely as they will stand together
When your bed is finished, raise plat
form some eighteen or twenty inches high
over them, which can be made of any re-
fuse posts, rails, or boards about the
place; across this place a few bean poles
or lath, and upon the whole throw .
quantity of bean hsulm. corn stalks,
straw, or any material of this kind, as q
protection against wet and frost, and you
can ca: green cabbage up to April, finer
than If plucked from the garden, in Oc-
tober.

Original Domestic Receipts.

CREAM PIE. VERY RICH-Is made by
a rich paste for bottom, then layer Of
butter, the thickness of cent, then one Of
sugar; then one of flour, the same thick
ness, and fill up with cream.
To MAKE CRACKER PIE.-Take eight
water or butter crackers; break in pieces,
and pour in them one quart of boiling
water, add tea spoonful of tartaric acid
for two pies. Sweeten and spice to the
taste.
To PREVENT THE SMOKING OF A LAMP
Soak the wick in strong vinegar, and dry
it well before using. It will then burn
both sweet and pleasant, giving much
satisfaction for the trihing trouble in pre-
pairing it.
W1P1sG DIsHEs.-Much time is wasted
by house keepers in wiping their dishes
If properly washed and drained in dry
sink, with cloth spread on the bottom,
they look better than when wiped, be-
sides the economy in saving time and Ia
Dor.
PIcKLED CABBAGE.-Slice red cabbage
very thin; put on it a little coarse salt,
and let it rest "a hours to drain; add sill
ced onions if you like them. Boil four
spoonsfuls pepper and four of allspice in
quart Of vinegar, and pour it over.
GINGER SsAPs.-One cup molasses;
one half cup sugar; one half cup butters
one half cup warm water, but the butter
melted in it; two table spoons ginger:
one tea spoon saleratus. Knead it wei
with -four enough to make i. stiff. Cut
it into round cakes; bake in q moderate
oven.
OYSTER SoUP.-To one quart of oysters
with their juice, put two quarts of cold
water, half pint of milk. and beaping
spoonful of salt; letthem boil one minute;
skim out the oysters; add half tea cup
Of crackers rolled fine. half a tea cup Of
butter, and q little pepper; let it boil
again; then pour over the oysters.

fot tBt farmer
Autumn Hinta.

I The autumn is the best time for drain
ing. Waste and useless ground can now
be drained, which, if left until the spring,
would be unavailable for another year
Many have been astonished ct their own
success in this work. Two years since
farmer near this city drained an ugly
swamp. thinking it might answer for
willows the following spring; but failing
to obtain cuttings the land became so
dry the last of May he was induced to try
corn, and raised an excellent crop. Dig
ging stumps, grading and all outdoor
Jobs of this nature can be done now bet
ter than at any other season. Our springs
are short, unsettled, and generally very
unpleasant Our autums are glorious
All foreign travellers agree that the beauty
of the American autumn is unequalled.
Let it be well improved.
Hogs for early killing should now re-
ceive attention, and be put on full rations.
This matter is delayed generally too
long. The fine weather in the Fall is the
very best time for making pork cheap. 1t
will cost much less to manufacture it now
than during the cold weather of early
Winter, when the pigs will have all they
can do to keep warm.
This is the best time for sowing timo-
thy, and it is a question worthy of con-
sideration, whether the growing Of timo-
thy or clover seed might not be made
profitable in the "Genesee country" now
that our great staple, wheat, has failed.
Manure is much more easily made in
the Fall and Winter than in the warm
weather of Summer: and the quality is
better. Decomposition takes place more
slowly and regularly, and the valuable
gases are more easily retained. Then
there is less damage or loss by burning,
or becoming "frefanged, as this burning
is generally termed. Muck from the
swamps, the remains Of old straw stacks,
all refuse and coarse stuff that cannot be
made available for feed, should be gath
cred together with the view of turning it
into manure by spring. Many farmers
in some section of our country spend
hundreds of dollars for guano, and other
fertilizers, that they might save if they
would give more attention to making
manure at home. In these parts little
guano is used, but many crops are starved
down to halftheir natural proportions for
want of proper feeding.
Above all things, save the fodder. Let
nothing be wasted that will help the stock
through the winter. Don't sell anything
in the Fall that you may have to buy
back again in the Spring at double the
price you obtained for it. If you have too
much stock for your feed, procure more
at once, or sell off part of the stock. A
small number well fed will be more prof
table than large number badly provid
ed for. During the first part of the win
ter feed well, but not lavishly, and i'm.
prove as the spring approaches.-Rural
NeaO Yorker.

Few THINGS WHICH EVERYBODY OUGHT
TO KNow.-A quart of peas, sown in a
shallow box, Is inches wide by Is long,
at sny time of the year, and cut when
about four or 6vainches high, and boiled
like spinach, With little salt, makes a
most deliciousdish. The tops of Jerusa-
lem artichokes, cut off about six inches
long. and boiled like other greens, make
capital dish, which partakes, in some
degree, of the flavor of the root. Boiled
water cress also makes wholesome dish.
1t must not, however, be overlooked. In
April and May late potatoes should al
ways lie peeled some ten or twelve hours,
and stepped in cold spring water before
they are cooked. This is great improve
ment; it makes the potato nearly as good
as those dug in October. The proper
way to make a cup of good tea is mat
ter of some importance. The tea pot is
at once filled up with boiling water; then
the tea is put into the pot, and is allowed
to stand FIVE minutes before it is used
The leaves gradually absorb the water,
and as gradually sink to the bottom
The result is, that the tea leaves are not
scalded. as they are when boiling water
is poured over them; and you get all the
true flavor of the tea. In truth, much
less is required in this way than under the
old and common practice.

Turf AND ROTTEN WooD FOR FRUIT
TREEs.-Not long since. we saw gen.
tleman drawing the rotton wood of old
stumps, and the turf that grew at their
roots, and throwing it generously around
his peach trees. He said. the stumps
must be burned or removed from the field
where they stood. He thought it better
to remove them with the turf around
them, and use them as manure for his
trees, than to burn them on the spot. So
thought we Ohio Farmer.

Care of CARPETS.

With proper care, carpets can be made
to last long time. In the first place,
moths must be guarded against. Every
crack in the floor ought to be filled with
putty, and well dried. If there is no time
to dry the putty, papers can DO laid over
it. Carpets should never be laid next
the floor. The sand wears them out if
they are. A little straw or soft hay scat
tered on the floor does very well, but old
straw mating or drugget, or an old wool
carpet does better For very nice car
pets, cotton bagging, tackled between
coarse unbleached cotton, is the best thing
that can be used. Experience has proved
that carpets wear third longer for being
wadded. The dust goes through to the
floor, and the carpet needs much less
sweeping than it otherwise would. A
little damp grass or brown paper sprin-
killed. on a carpet when 1t is swept, saves
the wear of it. For a nice carpet broom
should be kept which is not used for other
purposes. Every spot should be washed
off as soon as seen. Wool carpets should
be taken up and shaken once year, and
if the room is a common size twice or
more. When a carpet is taken up it
should be carefully examined, and if any
places are burned or worn, they should
be carefully darned with the ravellings to
match. A carpet can be saved very much
by guarding the entrance doors with mats,
&C.. especially the door leading from the
kitchen. Where there is a small entry
between the kitchen and carpet room,
it is a good way to cover heentry thick
ly with straw, and put over it piece Of
carpet or drugget. Even cotton carpet
ing will wear longer over straw. This is
much better than mats to take the dust
from the shoes. Get a large pattern, SO
as to have some left to repair with
Much can be done by turning and mend
ing carpets to keep them looking almost
as well as new.-AsrieHlturist.
