Rhubarb Wine.

The manufacture of rhUbarb into
wine is perfectly simple and the
yield very great. Trim off the leaves
and crush the stalks in a sorghum
mill if convenient, or even in wood
en- tub witha pestil. If in Il sorghum
mill, the juice is ready to strain and
put in casks; if in tub, pour off the
free juice and strain the juice from
the pulp through coarse tow cloth
or strainer, under pressure.
Having the juice prepared, the
manufacture is completed by mixing
an equal quantity of water, and to
each gallon three and half pounds
of fair brown sugar. Put the liq-
uor in casks filed full, with reserve
sufficient to keep the barrels full as
they work over the scum. The wine
may be refined by putting in a
small quantity of isinglass. When
fermentation ceases bung the cask
tightly.
People will differ with regard to
the quantities of water and sugar to
be used; some contending that no

A Good Rsturn for connsrhsadism.

When Lee was in Hagerstown, he paid his
respects to sundry Copperheads, as follows:
Simon Lechrone told the rebels he resided
near Waynesboro, Pennsylvania and was a
good rebel. He had voted for Breckenridge,
and now loved JEFF. Davis, while he detested
Lincoln and Abolitionists They listened at
tentively, and at the close took twelve horses,
and brought Simon to Hagerstown, where
they insisted on his joining the army. Mr..
Beard of the same place, a devout Davis
worshippe8 told them the same story He
owned but one horse. Two scouts took the
animal, but said that inasinuch as Mr.. B. was
a good Confederate, they would restore the
horse upon receipt Of ten dollars in green
backs. He gave the money, and received the
halter nf the horse in his own hands But
a 'other scout sOde up and claimed ten dollar
interest in the horse He was about to take
him along, when Mr.. B. handed him the
money with u grin, aud received his quAdru-
ped from the hands Of scoute number two.
Ere five minutes had elapsed another rebel
rode the animal away.

Probably we do not know all the
uses of salt in the animal economy,
but a few are obvious. It acts ben.
efcially upon the liver, yields sup
ply of soda to the bile, and gives in
creased nutritive power to food
1t acts as vermifuge, keeping the
bowels of stock free from worms,
and gives increased tone to the
stomach. 1t tends to prevent rot
in sheep. AS to the amount and
time of giving it, farmers disagree.
Some are accustomed to salt their
stock once a week. Many success
full farmers keep salt within reach
of their stock, believing that they
will eat only as nature requires.

Breaking Hsifsru for Milking.

Ihls is often made quite a serious
affair, in which kicks and bruises are
freely interchanged between the
frightened brute and the irritated
master. Many an otherwise excel
lent mixer is spoiled for life bv
harsh treatment. A heifer, if well
brol ken to the milk-pail, is thereby
made worth at least twenty per
cent. more-an increase which will
pay for much painstaking. Rarey's
reasoning respecting horses, applies
to other animals. They only resist
when injury is apprehended, and
their natural instinct suggests dan
ger whenever any unusual treat
ment occurs. Every one has MOTTO
ed how shy creature is on entering
strange enclosures, or at sight OF
new objects. The handling of a
heifer's bag is to her very unusual
proceeding, and, in addition, the
teats are often tender, and the bag
caked and infamed SO as to be pain
full under even a gentle touch
Training for milking should com

teach the animal to welcome your

time of using; but we have found
that this reduction by raw water at

Amidst the rejoeings over victory, and
amidst the signs and sobs of thousands who
have helped purchase victory by costIiest sac
rifices, there comes in a weak, miserable dis
cordant voice, that would awaken Indignation
if it deserved anything but contempt. One
who has been .he nominal head OF this then
united, prosperous and powerful country, and
whose fawning and sycOphantic and short
sighted policy did as much as it could to en-
courage the arrogant assumptions and insolent
demands of the slave power couspirators,
comes forward at this tremendous crisis to
renew the wretched subservieucy, and to play
the ignoble part of the spiteful and dissp-
pointed partizau. And he plays ii sell,
He decaims the old patitudes. He re-
hashes the threadbare falsehoods. He rings

ANOTHER YANKEE RAID TOWARDS R1cHMoND.
The people of Richmond were somewhat excr-
cised on Friday by a report that the Yankees
were advancing in strong force up the Peninsula.
The Richmond Dispatch gives the following as
the truth of the story:
A Yankee gunboat, accompanied by two
transports, came up Thursday as far as the
mouth of the Chckahominy River and went
up that stream short distance on pillaging ex-
pedition. They returned to jamestown yester-
day. AS to the troops, except those marauGers
landed from the boats, nothing seems to be de.
finitely known. There IS doubtless force
some distance up the Peninsula; but how far,
it is impossible to ascertain.
