To Preserve Lamp Cbimueys.

The cheapness of coal oil, its brilliancy and
safety, renders it more desirable for ilumina-
ting purposes than candles or any other article
ever before used. The great drawback is the
frequency with which the chimneys are broken.
1t is said that by putting the chimneys into
lukewarm water, heating the water to boiling,
and then cooling slowly, the glass will be 90
toughened as to render it less liable to break
age. In cold weather, lamp chimneys are La
BILE to break on first lighting the lamp. To
avoid this, raise the wick slowly, which will
heat the chimney gradually. and when e1tin-
gushing the light, turn the wick down slowly,
so that the chimney will cool of gradually.
By observing these hints you will save quite an
item in lamp chimneys in year.

Young Stock.

"A great many humane men are guilty of ha-
htual cruelty, without knowing it. They have
been brought up to believe that musty straw
and corn fodder, poor hay and oats, will do
well enough for young stock, and keep them
along" through the winter. The mistake is
not only cruelty to the stock, but Improbable
to the farmer. If"whatever is worth doing ut
all, is worth doing WE'LL" whatever stock is
worth raising, is worth raising well-worth de-
yeloping to the greatest degree of perfection
that good and abundant food, and constant At
tention can reach. A father who should think
bread crust and cheese parings sufficient food
for his little son and heir, would not be long
without the contempt of his neighbors; and
yet he would be just as reasonable in his pur-
suit of results, as his neighbor who should
think anything is good enough for young
stock" H#
A starved calf or colt is always stinted one,
and what it loses in that way, the first two or
three years of its life, it never regains. In our
own experience we have never found any hay
eoo good for young stock, and we would just

Satisfy or "vegetabre OYSTER.

This vegetable is not as extensively cu;tiva-
ted as il would be were it better known. 1t is
grown with the same care as carrots and pars-
nips, and helps make up an agreeable variety
for the table. 1t should be 80 vn upon good,
rich soil, which should be worked deeply
Some, English cultivators prepare the soil BY
bastard trenching-that is, the top soil is re-
moved spade deep, an abundant supply of
manure spaded int the soil below, and then
the top portion is returned. By having the
richest soil below, 1t is claimed that the roots
have much less tendency to fork. We have
found no difficulty in cultivating it without
this trouble, in soil prepared as for other root
crops. The seed, which should be of the
growth of the previous year, should be planted
as soon as the soil becomes warm. Plant in
q rows fifteen inches apart, and at the first weed
ing, thin out to four or Eve in the rows The
after. culture consists in keeping down the
weeds until the leaves become SO large that it is
difficult to work among them with a hoe The
ropts may be used when they are as large as
the little finger; they increase in size until the
growing season is over, but never grow to be
much over an inch in diameter. The supply
required for use during the winter may be
buried in sand in the cellar, and the remainder
left out to be dug in the spring. Some of the
finest plants should be left for seed. which is
produced the second year. Birds, especially
the yellow bird. are exceedingly fond of the
sesds and. where these are numerous, it is diff
cuittol secure it. The best way is to cut up
the plant, before the seeds are fully ripe, and
place them under cover to mature. The roots
are cooked in various ways. 1t may be boiled
and mashed, and dipped in batter and fried, or
cstin- slices, ano stewed with the addition of
milk and butter, after the manner Of Oysters.
Boiled soft, first with water and then milk, It
makes very good oyster soup" The ad-
dition of a little salt Goldfish, picked fine, makes
the resemblance to oyster soup sufficiently near
to warrant the name vegetable oyster."-
When prepared for cooking, it should be
scraped and thrown into water; this will pre-
vent the milky juice which the root contains
from turning brown, as It will do if exposed a
long time to the air.

OUR TERMS.

There is great deal Of talk among our CO.
temporaries about the 'sgreat rise in the price
of paper" and the necessity for corresponding
rise in the price Of newspapers. We do not
agree with our friends as to the last proposition.
1t is true that paper has gone up frightfully-
fifty per cent. at least, and is ''sti on its way
up" But what of that? Publishers have for
years had good time with low priced paper,
and made large profits; and now that times have
changed they should pay the enhanced price for
paper without whining, and without attempting
to get it back out Of their subscribers. The in,
crease in the price Of paper will make differ
ence of tens of thousands of dollars to Us year.
"; but we shall not increase the price OF the
LEDGER. That will remain as il is. We can at.
ford it. The retail price will continue to be four
cents; and our club. terms will remain as they
always have been. Onr subscribers have stuck
to Us when paper was cheap; and We do not in
tend to increase our rates to them now when il
is dear. at is a poor rule that won't work both
ways"

MADAM, am surprised to hear that you
don't like Lieutenant T; he is very popular
with the ladies-a general favorite, in fact"

"There must be mistake somewhere, mad
am; what did he say?"
