Hints for the Season.

Attend to your stock. See that
they are properly fed and cared for
As some of your cows will soon calve,
have them, and their young, under
good shelter, and let the mothers be
fed with care.
Ewes will lamb about this fine;
feed them we'll, and the lambs will
have plenty of nourishment. If any
disease should appear in the flock, at
tend to it promptly.
Where you intend 10 plow early,
manure may be carted upon the land.
Do not spread it, however, but leave
it in large heaps. Let the spreading
be dore just previous to plowing.
See that your fences are in good re
pair; it is bad policy to have to work
at them when you ought tc be plow.
ing or sowing. Have all kinds Of
seeds ready; it will save time at some
subsequent period.
See that all your tools are in good
order. Ifany are ont of repair, have
them mended Immediately. BY spend
ing a little money now, You may OBJ.
tain some new tool or implement, that
will greatly lessen your labor during
the busy season.
Watch your orchard trees, and pro-
tect them from being barked by mice
or rabbits. Pruning can be perform
ed now. When the branch cut off is
a large one, cover the wound with a
solution of shell.lac and alcohol, laid
on with brush. By leaving the
prunings on the ground, the rabbits
will feed on them, and let the trunks
Of the trees alone. Scions of fruit
trees, for grating, may be cut this
month, and laid away in a cellar.

Maple Sugar Making.

For the benefit of amateur sugar
makers, we condense the following
from an article in the New York Tri.
bune. The price of maple sugar, in
correspondence with other things, will
be no lower in the spring of 1858,
than 1851, and is always in demand
as an article of luxury, andconsidered
wholesome.
IT'S best not to tap the tree, with
an axe-eyen upon land which you
intend to clear, as it may pass into
other hands before you are ready to
clear it, and a successor might prefer
to keep the trees. The best way to
tap trees, is to bore them on the sunny
side, two feet or more above the earth,
with an aDger not over one inch in
diameter, and at first, not over half
or three. .fourths of an inch into the
wood, and to slant upward. Boring
with slant downward, holds water,
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1858-03-04
Purchasing Provisions.

We find the following excellent ad-
vice given by Mrs. Parks on purchas.
ing provisions which arc not of a per.
ishable nature.
Groceries, candles, soap, and many
other things. are more advantageous
ly purchased in large quantities, and
from wholesale dealers, than by buy
ing them at retail shops, and only for
immediate consumption. Candles
improve by keepingtor few months,
and may be kept even for two years
without injury, although that cannot
be said to improve them. Those Which
are made in cool weather are the best;
and some people are careful no. to lay
in store of candles at the time OF the
year in which they suppose lamb fat
TO be mixed with the tallow, which
they fancy makes the candles soft, and
inclined to run.
Soap, which also improves by keep.
ing, should be purchased in large
quantities, and cut while it is soft iD-
to small pieces, each OF which should
not exceed half pound in weight.
1t should be kept in dry and moder.
ately warm place; and the original
stock should always be kept up by
half purchases, so that no soap should
be in use which has not been six
months in yeuF possession. BY such
a practice, u saving Of at least twenty
per cent is effected on this article.
Good loafsugar is very bright and
clean looking, with a close heavy
grain. A porous sugar is not an eco
nomical one; almost double the guam
tity that is necessary of a hard, close
grained sugar being required to sweet
en- anything with it.
Brown sugar should be clear and
sandy looking, and not of too dark
color. A dull, heavy and dirty. grain
ed sugar is not economical; and be.
sides being full Of molasses, spoils the
favor of everything that is sweetened
with it.
Rice, or indeed any kind of seed,
should not be bought in large quanti.
ties, because an insect is apt to bleed
in it; to prevent which all kinds Of
seed should be kept in earthen ware
jars, and covered from the air.
Currants and raisins should be cho-
sen by their dry and clean appearance;
for when they are clogged together,
they are generally full Of dirt: and in
washing them, you seem to lose almost
half.
The quality of tea is according to
its price. ItShould not be very small,
or have much dust in it. Tea is more
economically bought by the chest; it
is cheaper, and more likely to be gen,
uine.

and produces decay, This aperture
may be increased, after the surface
becomes dry, and the flow of sap ia
checked. To conduct the sap into
buckets, use iron spouts, which will
cost you the price OF thin inch and a
quarter wide hoop-iron, cut in to
lengths of two to four inches, Ly your
own hands, with small coal.cutting
chisel, using the end of a large wood
block for an anvil. These are made
quicker than wooden spouts, and will
last forseveral years, itproperly stored
away after using.
Drive the spouts into the bark only,
and never set the buckets under them,
but hang them On a nail, by the bail,
or q piece Of twisted wire.
When the sap is boiled to the right
point, which experience teaches, strain
it through flannel, or coarse cloth,
into a tub, and let it cool. To it, put
q quart ofmilk, or, still better, a pint
of milk and two or three eggs, to ten
gallons, and heat slowly, and strain
carefully. The eggs should be well
beaten with the milk, aud thoroughly
stirred into the sirup, before it is
heated. Great care is necessary to
prevent scorching after the sirup be-
gins to grow waxy, from which time
until it is sufficiently boiled, the fire
must be very gentle and under control.
Waxy sirup will make drained su-
gar, leaving a considerable residue OF
mOlasses to be reboiled or kept for use.
Brittle, waxy sirup, is required to
make cake sugar. For dry grained
sugar, the sirup must be concentrated
before stirring, until dropped upon
snow and suddenly cooled, it is nearly
as brittle as rosin.
10 make white sugar, the sirup
when strained must be passed through
animal charcoal several feet thick
Charcoal, when made Of wood, alb
serbs and washes the Sirup.
The stated yield per tree, in good
seasons, is from 8 to 81 pounds.
The best form to prepare the sugar
in, for market, is in cakes, tons OF
which are sold in the streets and shops
of the cities, to be eaten like candy, al
80 to 80 cents a pound, and the sircp
will "out.sell" at any time, the very
best "golden sirup" that the market
can afford.

Everybody loves her,
Radiant Minnie Lee.
Hand in hand together,
Let US 60 through life,
Still sharing every pleasure,
Let US know no strife.
When lile's cares are buried
Deep in deaths dark sea,
Then in Heaven I'll greet thee,
Angel, Minnie Lee.
