BREAD WITHOUT YEAST. SALERa-
rus, &c.-A writer in the Massachu-
sets P'oughDaas tells how to make
healthy bread of -four and water and
little salt, and no yeast, saleratus,
cream of tartar, or any such vile soap
making stuff. She says: Take as
much milk-warm water as you will
want to make your batch Of bread, and
salt it about twice as salt as you would
if you were going to mix the same
quantity into saleratus bread. Stir in
-four enough to make paste about as
thick as gridle-cake d6nsh. Put this
paste into tin pail. and set the pail
into pot of warm water on the stone
hearth, where the water in the pot will
keep about milk-warm all the time.
This will give the paste an even ten
perature.
ain four or FIVE hours the paste will
raise and foam like yeast. Then turn
it into your mixin ,-pan, and NIX in
-four enough to make your dough for
breed, and mould it into your pans
ready for baking, set the pans in a warm
place, under or about the stove, and
cover them with clean cloth or pa
per, and let it rise, it will take about
two hours, aud as soon as it is fairly
raised, put it into a hot oven and bake
It Quick and thoroughly.
"You will have the lightest, whitest
and sweetest bread that can be made,
and bread that is healthy and will re.
tain the natural taste of handful OF
wheat when chewed in the mouth, and
IS not spoiled hv saleratus, cream oil
tartar, yeast, powder, and such like
drugs.
"If you do not put the salt into the
water, you will fail to get good rise
about nine times ont of ten, but follow
the directions and You will seldom fail
IF people would eat this kind o.
bread, we would not hear so much com
plant Of sour stomach, headache and
dyspepsia

FooD FOR HoRsEs.- is an
essential. Oats are not the only food
that will fit horse for labor or the
road. Roots are oftentimes much su-
perior. OF these, carrots are the best,
and keep the horse sleek and in good
health. Heavy horses, while fed on
eut corn stalks, together with a little
corn and cob meal, will not show any
symptoms Of this disease.

SALT FOR Mich Cows.-Without
the use Of salt, the milk becomes scanty
and imperfect. The greatest nccessi-
ty for its use is in the spring, when the
cows are first turned out to grass. A
few experiments in May and June
showed that going without salt FIVE
days shrunk the milk from one to two
per cent, in quantity, and from FIVE to
seven per cent. in quality. Later in
she season, less difference asobserva-
bic.

Sweet Susie Brown my pretty one!
Pm sure you must Remember
If not for love, at least for fun
The sleigh ride in December;
When all the bellies and all the beaux,
In spire Of frosts would go forth,
And squeeze beneath the buffaloes,
Each others hands, &c.
How brightly streamed the north'n lights
Above the snowy ridgesl HerN
How pleasant were the winter nights!
Observed from country bridgesl
Where toll is sought with such address,
Mid laughter, fun and fiattery;
And lovers feel amid the press,
Each others hearts. etc.
lis very singular and queer,
OF all most mad devices,
Bove's fame should burn so bright and clear
On fuel formed of ices.
And yet we know its flame, indeed,
Most brill .ntly viii glow forth,
When fa7ned behind flying steed5
Hid under furs, &c.
I'm sure you mind the village inns
The supper and the revel;
Bow in the general dine and din,
Love shot his arrows level
And don't forget how Harry Kidd
Embraced you in the buttery;
Fou kissed his lips--I know you did
And he kissed yours, etc. ~
Aud when the forfeits we're all paid,
How one old maid resisted,
Until the younger ladies said,
A prude they all detested;
'Desistr she cried-the ancient Ann
Her modesty to show forth,
I'll never yield to any man,
NV virgin lipsr &c.
The wintry winds, the homeward way.
Blew chilly in our faces,
But, underneath our furs, we lay,
All saugly in our places;
One girl. upon the forward seat
The pretty Nelly Setterlee-
Declared Jack Frost had pinched her check,
And Billy Frost, etc.
Another, underneath her robes
(The buff hoes, not her dresses)-
Fair Patience with attendant Job
Detected IN caresses,
Spring up with angry blushing face,
Her innocence to show forth,
But showed her curls were out of place,
Her collar gone, &c.
And then the parting at the doorl
Its temper. mutual blissesI
Sweet lips, from their abundant store,
Gave to the poor-in kisses 80
The parting word-the long embrace
Cupids most dangerous witchery,
Brouybt fire to many boyish face,
And raised sweet hopes, etc.
Dear Susie Brown, save you and /.
OF all that load Of merriment,
No other pair are left, to try
Loves latest, best experiment,
And when the coming SHOWS are spread,
Our mutual hopes shall glow forth
May LYMAN bless our nuptial bed,
Increase our joys, &c.

IfGenius had placed me at the head OF the shrlne'
And all her rich gifts were feasibly mine,
would take of Sincerity, Friendship and Love,
And form rich garland, like the Angels above
would make it so spotless that none but the good
Would dare to approach it, if even they could;
would stain it with blood that fell from the Cross
OF the blessed Redeemer, for the ruined and lost
would picture a shadow of the glory to come
The crown for the righteous in their heavenly home;
I would hold out redemption in coOrs so pure,
That those who refusedit would refuse it no more
A garland so precious, of jewels so rare!
Can a being be found the treasure to wear!
Although not Christian, l think can find
A place of deposit for this garland of mine
And now I'll present my sweet garland to thee
Receive it and prize it as coming from me;
A token of lore, gem Of the heart,
Which none but wife can feel or imPart.
