cream an unnatural taste, or IN a

the latter place, it should not be
put in until the steam has passed

liable to mould. The milk
should not stand longer in Win

ter will be bitter. In 50 or Is
hours 1t should be skinned, fin
a cool place, sooner il in a warm

let it stand longer, and use the
cream that rises on it for shorten

Now, these men take the true plan to keen

SO writes John johnson to the Secretary oil
the New York State Society, and he thus
illustrates his statement: 6" 1t is good profit
to raise 800 bushels of wheat from ten acres ;
but when it takes thirty acres to raise that
amout, it is raised at a loss. So it is with
cattle and sheep. You will see the thinking
farmer making your old steers worth from $50
to $50 each, and his neighbours, at the same
age, worth not over S25 to s4O." His advice
to the latter is, If his land Is exhausted,
he should pillow no more than he can tho
roughly manure. Seed with clover and grass,
let it rest, and that field will not only pay
for illage, but it will furni manure (ii

Hints for the Garden.

/. Prepare your ground thoroughly,
not in all cases by merely manuring and
digging, but with reference to the par
ticular crop that is intended to be grown
upon it. All garden soils should be
deep, mellow and we'll pulverzed. If
the surface cakes during the Sumner,
means should be taken to prevent this,
as nothing is SO nnfavorabe for the
growth of the finer vegetables.
2. Plant peas deep, in deep SOIL.
Varieties may be selected that ripen at
different periods. The very early ones
should be planted Immediately; the
latter in few days afterwards. There
are some choice early sorts now in mar.
ket, they can be easily obtained of our
seedsmen. The most of these are dwarf
growers among these are Bishops
Early Dwarf and Tom Thumb. There
are also taller growing kinds that are
excellent. In late ripcning sorts, there
is great variety. The Champion. of
England is large, green Variety. OF
excellent quality.
3. Prepare ground for onions. let
it be in good health, and mellow. Saw
in drills, and thin out. Sow lettuce in
good soil, in rather sheltesed location.
The Frankfort head is esteemed,. Also
SOW spinach. There is not much choice
in sorts. Radishes should be sown in
ground that is not rich. A loose, fine
sand is the best. In rich soil the plants
are destroyed by maggots.
4. Prepare pie-plant beds. You can-
not make them too rich or deep. The
ground should, if not naturally deep, bo
trenched. The strongest kinds of man
ure are the best for the pie-p, ant
Mulch the surface, several inches in
depth, with long manure. The best
kinds are the pure Vic .oria, not seed
lings. Linnaus is highly recommended.
8. Now is the time for setting out
raspberries, Strawberries, goossberries,
currants and other small fruits. Get
the best sorts, and from reliable sour ,es.
Get good fresh seeds not those that
have been lying in some store tor Two oy
more seasons,

THE FINE ART OF PATCHING. TO patch
how vulgar is the term Yet it is an operation
requiring more skill than does the making of
a new garment, and well executed, may save
the purchase of many costly one; The
most expensive robe may, by accident, be
torn or spotted the first day of its wear; the
piece inserted in lieu of the damaged one is a
patch. If a figured material, the patch must
be exactly matched. In all cases, the inser-
ton must be made without quicker, and the
kind of seam must be such as, though strong,
will be least apparent, and the corners must
be turned with neatness Is not this an art
that requires teaching So of darning much
instruction is nessesSary as to the number Of
threads to be left in the needles, according
according to the kind of fabric, and there is
the kind of thread or yarn most suitable to
be determined. If the article is course the
chief attention is directed to expedition but
the costly article of embroidery on muslin
can only be well darned from Rawlings of a
similar muslin. The stocking stitch is neither
moro difficult nor tedious than the darn, yet
many pairs of stockings are lost for want OF
knowing it when a hole happens to be above
the shoe. Practise in the lace stitches is
desirable, particularly for repairing lace of a
costly description. The deficiency of single
loop where lace is sent to be washed, often
becomes large hole in the operation, and
the lace is destroyed. The shawl stitch is
not sufficiently taught, though by employing
it with rawlings from the shawl itself, the
most costly cashmere can be repaired with
ont the possibility of discovering the inserted
part.

Correspondence of The Ceci! Wing
Letter from CeciItOn.
CECILToN, May IA Ii, 1862

Mr.. EDITOR Il see by publication
in The Cecil Democrat that complaint is
made with regard to the election held
on Wednesday, the 7th inst, for School
Commissioner, which resulted in the
triumphant election of Thomas p. Jones,
Esq, over his sccesh opponent, Il. W.
Lockwood. The secesh complain that
the polls were closed before the proper
hour, otherwise the result would have
been different. When men have been
defeated notwithstanding their nefarious
schemes, they must form some excuse
for being so defeated. Their plans we're
laid, and concocted in good faith, and
would have no douba been successful had
not their candidate been so eager to
obtain victory. If he had remained at
home until eleven or twelve o'clock, we
would not have suspected anything of
opposition, except a few might have given
their suffrage to Chris opher Jones,
(colored,) whom some talked of running
in opposition to the regularly nominated
candidate, which would have been quite
as good a joke as they seemed to think
the running Of James Nichles in oppo-
sition to Mr.. 3idde was when he was
elected by the Union men Of this District
to the same Office.
Mr.. Editor, what do these fellows
mean? They curse the government
where they received their birth, and
under whose protection they are suffered
to remain in perfect liberty and security.
From whose institutions they have
received their education and every thing
they have. They would glory in seeing
the emblem of our national liberty trailed
in the dust, and rejoice in the defeat or
repulse of The arms Of the government !:
and yet they wish to hold Office in the
government they seem so to despisc.-
They will make use Of every device to
accomplish their hellish purposes. They
will not only talk of running negroes as
candida cs for Office, bu. actually vote
for them in pre- ference to white men.
Such men claim the right to make
laws and regula ions for an enlight-
encd communi y, and ak Of the laws not
being carried ou'. Such men should not
have the right of suffrage, much less TO
hold office.
Who can find words to express their
Indignation at such unblushing inconsis-
tcncy! They say tho government wishes
20 put the negro on an equality with
them when not only l,y their convcrsa-
ton, but by )hcir actions they place the
negro above themselves. These things
arc too true to make a joke of. They
will prescribe Union men and call them
Black Republicans and Aboliionis's aud
every maine they consider vile, and We.
Union men suffer hem to remain in occu-
patton of their farms or in their employ,
and nothing is said in regard to their
loyal y to the government. But when
any of these men find out their tenants
OR hands are opposed to this rebellion,
their services are no longer required
These things are stubborn facts, and the
wonder is that nothing has been said on
the subject before. Union men, measure
up to the standard to which it is your
duty, and put down every thing that will
endangcr the cause of the Union, the
Constitution, and the enforcement of
the Laws L. n. \. +.
