DRYING PUMPKINS.


We love pumpkin pies, especially when
there is not an abundance of tree fruit. We
have tried all modes of drying, but no plan is
equal, we think, to this Take the ripe pump
kin, pare, cut into small pieces, stew soft,
mash and strain through cullender, as if for
making pies. Spread this pulp on plates in
layers not quite an inch thick; dry it down in
the stove oven, kept at so low temperature
as not to scorch it, In about day it will be-
come dry and crisp. The sheets thus made
can be slowed away in a dry place, and they
are always ready for use for pies or sauce.
Soak the pieces over night in little milk,
and they will return to a nice pulp, as deli
cious as the fresh pumpkin-we think much
more so. The quick drying after cooking pre-
vents any portion from slightly sourlng as Is
always the case when the uncOoked pieces are
dried; the flavor is much better preserved,
sand the after cooking is saved This plan is
quite as little trouble as the old mode, to say
nothing of the superiority in the quality OF
the material obtained. Try it, and you will
not return to the old method, we are sure,
and you will also become great lover of
pumpkin pies, ''all the year round"

G0lOttester Badly SPY
Planting Orchards.

FROM the Germantown Telegraph.
Like every other branch of pomology, it
Jas long been a moot question as to what To-
cation or exposure should be selected for an
apple orchard. Some prefer one, some an
other, and frequently good success will attend
them on whatever part of farm may have
been selected. Indeed we have encountered
apple orchards upon all kinds of exposures
and soils, bending under their burden of fruit.
We noticed especially during trip through
some of the northern counties of this state in
August, 1861, that IN certain regions every
orchard was laden with fruit, no matter where
they stood. All kind of exposures and soils
seemed this year to be placed on the same
footing-fruit was everywhere. Old trees
which looked as though they had not borne
for years, ''groaned" under its genealogical
abundance.
Nevertheless, it cannot be doubted that
care in selecting the position for the orchard,
will well repay the trouble. For instance,
there are sometimes hll-sides upon farm
which are very difficult, laborious and expen.
sive in cultivating, and then yielding but poor
crops. We have often seen these occupied
with apple orchards and seemed to be as pro-
ductive as any other. A little more attention
must be paid in TRANSFORMING, giving them a
solid footing and slight inclination up hill.
person who has given much attention to this
question, throws out the following hints:
81 would always prefer sheltered situation
behind hill or wood for my orchards. Steep
hillsides are generally objected to for plant
ing an apple orchard but / think a steep hill
side is not the worst place by any means. My
hillside orchard is doing quite as well as any
l have. 1t is in the form of a half circle, with
a south eastern exposure. | planted my trees
q IA I'm 10 in IN
make it more pleasant to work, and also to
keep it from washing. / think that trees can
be placed much closer on steep hillside than
elsewhere to advantage. My method of cul-
tivation has been to pillow down from the up
per side to within four or five feet of the next
row. pillow the first furrow close to the row
with one horse; 1 then pillow the balance with
two horses.
In four or five plowings it will form a terrace
that answers very good purpose. had also
planted a row of nursery trees with each row
of orchard trees, which did very well. By
merely working from the upper side, the
spaces are now level, or rather inclining a
little back, which causes it to retain moisture
much longer than it did before it was plowed
into terraces. The space between the terra
ces l use for Strawberries, blackberries, seed
beds, &c. 1t is also first rate place to raise
early vegetables.
''Ihs side-hill used to be regular eye
sore, but now it is the prettiest part of my
farm. | think we can make no better use of
cur steep side-hills than to plant them with
trees, if it were. for nothing else than the APP
pearance. The grass growing on the terra
ces we used, when the trees were young, for
mulching drawing mellow ground on them
from the upper side"

Cleaning Cellars.


If we were asked which should be the fin
est apartment in the house, we should proba-
bly, answer, ''Not the parlor, not the drawing
room, but the cellar" There are two reasons
for this answer. First, bad, dirty cellar APP
pears to combine the idea of all that is repul-
sive-damp, offensive, musty, putrid air
often apples, rotten cabhages, rotten potatoes,
rotten boards-the effiuvia creeping through
every open window and open door, and thro'
the cracks OF every closed window and closed
door, into all parts of the house-into the
kitchen, into parlor and dining room into
sleeping apartments-and laying the fOunda-
ton of sickness and fevers. Secondly, neat,
well lighted, mortar-tloored, whitewashed eel
lar, combines good deal that is pleasant.
One room may have in it supply OF sweet
butter and milk, aud in another excellent APP
pies and delicious melting pears; the food
that is placed on every table is known to come
from this model cellar, where everything is
pure and clean.
Does some one now say, 81 can't afford to
make such an expensive cellar!' Wereply it
need not be expensive. Thewalls are already
bullt-give them smooth neat plastering, and
then handsome whitewashing. Have new
windows put in If necessary, and keep them
washed bright and clean, with an iron-rod
CRATE on the window frame, or wire netting, to
exclude intruders when the windows are open.
Cover the floor with water-lime cement-first
thickly and coarsely with greut made of
waterlime and coarse gravel, and then with
smooth polished finish OF water-lime and clean
washed sand. The whole cost of the plaster
ing of the walls, the whitewashing of the
same, the new windows, and the mortar floor,
need not be forty dollars for a moderate sized
farm house. Save this sum by reducing the
use Of lee, sugar and coffee, emitting the plat
ing on that new harness and carriage, and dis
carding all tobacco. If there should be any
surplus, get neat set Of apple shelves made,
standing on scantling legs, one shelf above
another, so that one can pass all around them,
and have them all nicely painted; and also
procure a set of potato boxes or bins, with
covers, to exclude light, and have these all
planned and painted.
1t is a good time OF year, now, to get the
cement floor made, and whether it is made or
not, it is absolutely essential that every dirty
cellar be now thoroughly cleaned out before
storing any of the new crop of fruits and veg
etables; and in cleaning out, if the work is not
thoroughly done, it may be best to sprinkle over
1t occasionally until it is well purified, a pound
or two ofchloride of lime, as a smell-destroy-
er and disinfectant

LATE FROM EUROPE.

The late news from Europe announces that
Mason and Slidell arrived at Southampton on the
10Th of January. The Rinaldo, on which these
Commissioners took passage, could not reach Hall
fax account of the prevailing gale, and they
proceeded TO Bermuda. Our Commissioners met
with public reception on their arrival there.
On their arrival in England, large crowd had
assembled on the dock They were cordially re-
ceived by the officers of the Confederate steamer
Nashville, as well as by many prominent gentlemen
of England.
Napoleon, in his speech to the French Legisla-
laturc says that the civil war which desolates
America seriously compromises the commercial
interests of France, but, nevertheless, so long as
the rights of neutrality respected, he must
confine himself merely to the utterance of his
wishes, that the difficulty will soon be terminated.
The English journals construe the Emperor's
speech as threat and sign OF Frances lmpatience,
and think that he will interfere when ever an
oc casion invites.
The Morning Advertiser states positively that
until the 23d January, Napoleon was fully re-
solved to announce in his speech determination
to abolish the blockade but deferred the an
nouncement upon the advice of Earl Russell, who
deemed it polite to wait few weeks The En-
peror, therefore, alluded to the question in his
speech so as not to bind himself to any particular
course.
Earl Russell entirely rejects Stewards doctrine
of the rights of neutras, enunciated In the
Trent affair lie says that the British Govern.
mcnt will not acquiesce in the capture of any
British ship under circumstances similar to those

. TO OUR PLANTERS.

The following good advice we take from an ex.
change paper:
The war in which we are still engased-the
scarcity and high price not only of corn aud bacon
but every description of food for man and beast
the uncertain prospects of peace and eotton-the
absolute necessity of feeding those who are fight
ing our battles, their families who may be de-
pendent on US, and ourselyes-all these considera.
tions should impel the planters of the South this
year TO try the full capacity of their lands in the
provision crops, especially corn. Let "Kino
Cotton" stand aside for awhile until his wortb;es
brother, corn, receives our attention With the
crop of cotton already on land, the PROSPECTS be.
fore us, we think our readers would do wisely 70
plant double crop of corn and half crop of cot
computing the latter only or their most suita.
BILE cotton lands. Prepare for the corn crop mon,
leave no waste spot that will produce sin ole
stalk-put in every Hill possible. PlOw deep~
manure heavily aud plant as early as YOU safely
can. Plant more than you ever did before. If
you have plenty of corn, you need want for moth
ing-it will make you meat as well as bread, and
1t will bring you money also.
The South is now at a critical period of her
history-at point upon the turn of which depends
her future success, and if we are ever to be the
great and independent people we light to be, we
must reform and improve our agriculture. Strong
in this rich in all that goes to sustain life-witR
an abundance of food for man aud beast and a
determination to think and act for ourselves here
after, We can bid the world defiance, and 20 calm
iy to work out our destiny. Let as, then, most
urge our readers to commence the plant
ing operations of 1862 with full determination
to produce ESQ far possibe) the necessaries of
life from their own lands-tC be economical in
everything, and to avail themselves of information
that possibly aid in their glorious calling

FROM THE NORTH.

The New York Herald of the 18th, has been re-
ceived by the Norfolk Day Book.
After digesting the Emperor's speech and the
European private correspondence, the Herald con-
cludes that the only security the Yankees have
against foreign interference is to press military
operations speedily to crush out rebellion be-
fore the two governments find a decent pre-
text to interfere.
The Herald of the 1th says that Brgadier
General Stone was rrested and sent to Fort La
tayette, Sunday morning last, upon the charge of
treachery in the Balls Bluff affair, and also of Sc
cesson proclivites He will be court -martialed.
The position of France and E"glund.-The
Philadelphia Inquirer says: If we are to judge
of the aspirations of the French and British Min
stries by the course adopted in the columns of the
Partisan and London Ministerial papers, We should
say that the men who have the interests of France
and Great Britain III charge have been cunningly
endeavoring to encourage each other in taking
the first step that may lead to the acknowled sment
of the Southern Contederacy. France evidently
thought the affair of the Trent would accomplish
her object, and, accordingly, the Partisan papers
joined in the condemnation of the act of Com
mander Wilkes. Now, however, that the storm
has blown over, the object of the London press
seems to be, by expressing deep sympathy with
the distre<ses of the French operatives. render
them so furious that they shall urge Napoleon on
to atte.lpt the breaking of the blockade.

COOPERATION

The State Journal, in an article about the war
and its progress, makes the following timely re-
marks
{" Since the first gun was fired at Sumter, no
complaints against any body, having the manage
ment OF the war, has escaped our lips through the
columns Of this paper. Our complaint is, that
there has hitherto been sufficient cooperation
of the civil with the military authorities The
men of wealth and influence have stood at too
great distance from military commanders We
have physical force enough in the country to cou-
vert an entire sea coast, interminabe us it is and
every river bank in the Confederacy into an uuin-
terruPted chain of Forts, which would constitute
the whole an impregnable Fortress, so far as erect

fortifcat rs is quite another question: and can only
be done by the Confederate government, and then
only to the extent to which cannon Of suitable

thing except our own private interests. The love
OF money has been stronger than the love of

illusion. We may hord it up, by attending to our
farms or by course of heartless speculation. till
