make excellent feed for animals. If there be
q performance Of sprouted grains in the grist

only spoiled forlight bread. The dough instead
Of rising by the ordinary process, has tendency
to liquify and spread out, and forms q sticking
mass that will not be kneaded into loaves. 1t
makes good unlesvened bread and is quite nu-
tritious, with a Iweetish taste. By many per-
sons bread made Of Eprouted wheat is preferred,
but in market the least appearance Of grown
kernels will injure the sale. Some millers pre-
tend that one per cent. of such kernels will
ipjure the quality Of the whole. 1t is therefore
important to the farmer that he should be very
careful TO keep the sprouted sheaves separate
from the sound, and should also separate the
sound from the unsouad grain in winnowing, as
far as possible.-N Y. Tribune.

Awful

During the great Miller excitement, when
people got more zeal than common sense into
their heads, and were ready at all times to seize
upon the smallest mite and magnify it into a
mountain, or something larger, an old lady
came into Boston from the country, to see the
winding up of all things terrestrial. Being
brimful of religious zeal, she could see no good
in any thing but Millerism; and as she, in com.
pany with another lady, was talking about the
conaagration Of this wicked world, she glanced
her eyes across the street, and exclaimed, in as
loud, unearhly tone as any mortal would wish
to hear: "Oh, Lord! What are we all coming
tot Only look over on that ere sign, what it
says Perishing souls and unbelieVers made
and repaired here"" The sign read thus:
"Parasols and umbrellas made and repaired
here" Nothing could induce the old lady TO
remain longer in city so given to Satan, and
therefore she "put'' for the country.

Planting Trees.

A correspondent of the American Agricultu-
rist gives the following necessary points to be
kept in view in planting out trees Of all kinds
especially fruit trees:
LIST. A portion Of the roots should be so near
the surface and so porous q soil, that they can
enjoy air and the suns warmth
I'd. Part of the roots must 60 deep enough to
secure abundant moisture or sap at all times
particularly when the surface soil is temporarily
parched by drought.
Sd. The subsoil, so far down as the roots PEN
citrate, should be of good character; that is ii
should have been 80 exposed to the action Of
the air as to destroy the soluble prOto salts Of
iron, magnesia, ETC.; and also organic acids-oth-
erwise these sustances will be absorbed and act
A poison.

Such fruit as strawberries, rasberries, black
berries and the like may be preserved in the fol-
lowing manner cheaply, and their favor be re-
tanned: Put sugar over the fire, at the rate Of
half pound TO pound Of berries, add little
water, and when hot take up the fruit in skim
mer and dip it into the sugar, holding it there
for half minute perhaps; then take it out and
spread it on the tins Go through the whole lot
in this manner. Then boil down the sugar TO
thick syrup, and pour it over the fruit. Set
the tins either in the sun or in q warm oven till
the berries are dried through in thin gelatineus
cakes. When thoroughly dry, put the cakes
in bag and hang il outof the way. The cakes
will keep as long as wanted, and may be fitted
for the table in few minutes, by the addition
Of little hot water-more sugar being added
if necessary. The beauty Of this mode is that
the favor Of the fruit is retained, while there is
no danger Of its spelling BY fermentation

The Time to Drain Wet Lands.


There is generally time between the close Of
the having season and the "fall rains," when
farmers find that the springs and streams are
low, they can operate by ditching and cutting
away distractions to good advantage in draining
their lowlands.. Some farmers neglect to begin
this business because they cannot finish it at one
Job, without hiring more help, they can well al
ford 70. In such cases, would it not be adVisa-
BILE 10 look over the ground-ascertain what lie
resuried 10 be done to effect perfect drainage,
or 70 give you control Of the water, and begin
upon it doing part at timei In this way, BY
little perseverance for few years you will ul-
timatSly accomplish the undertaking. The
profits will then begin to accumulate, and repay
for the labor and cost expended. We know Of
several instances where individuals have fol-
lowed such q course. who are now reaping rich
reward for their faith and perseverance,.
There are many cases where the lowlands are
somewhat extensive, and owned by several in
dividuals, and In such cases it would be difficult
and manifestly unjust for one Of the proprietors
alone to make all the improvement required.
When advantage or profit is to accrue TO all Of
the proprietors, all should unite and put in &C.
cording 10 the amount Of their possession in the
property, and thus make q common cause OF it.
In looking about the State, any one will soon
see vast deal of the kind Of lands we are speak
ing OF, that, by draining, would pay great inter
ssts on the cost, but which are now wholly
worthless, because they are overAowed and sat
urated with water TO such degree asto rendOr
them worthless for any Other purpose than frog
or MOSQUITO paradise.

Cure for the Piles.

Mr.. N. Purden, Of Jersey, Licking County, in
this State, sends US the following recipe for the
cure of the Piles, which he desires Us to publish
for the benefit Of the afilicted.-O. s. Journal
Take half pound of new-made Butter, free
from salt-one pint of the juice Of the Poke root
(which some call Garget.) and one common ia
ble-s spoonful of Gunpowder; put them together
and simmer the compound over slow fire un-
til the water Is all out. Then, as it is cooling,
stir it little at intervals, to keep the powder
from sinking. DIRECTIONS: Anoint the parts
affected twice day, for few days. This has
cured ninety-nine cases out of a hundred of all
kinds of Piles. If the disease is not at the sur
face, swab must be made to reach it, If posi-
BILE. This is often necessary with bleeding Piles.
The month of May is the best time TO make the
Salve. as the root is then the most juicy, and
can be easily grated and strained. But ifmadein
the winter the root can boiled, and use the tea
according to the strength.

having to expose himself considerably, the In

but experienced no return Of his old difficulty.
He had tried ever so many other remedies in
