LIQUID HONEY.

The following recipe for a beautiful
liquid honey Is taken from Mr.. Lang
stroth, which he says ''the best judges
have pronounced one of the most lus-
cious articles they ever tasted" Put
two pounds of the purest white sugar
In as much hot water as will dissolve 1T;
take one pound of strained white clover
hOney-any honey of good flavor will
answer-and add it warm to the syrup,
thoroughly stirring together. AS re-
fined loaf sugar is pure and inodorous
sweet, one pound of honey will give it's
flavor TO two pounds of sugar, and the
compound will be free from that smart
ing taste that pure honey often has, and
will usually agree with those who can
not eat the latter with impunity. Any
desired flavor can be added to 1t.
although no profit can be realized
from inducing bees to store this mix
ture, in boxes or glasses, the amateur
may choose, in bad seasons, or in dis
tricts where honey is not pure, to Sc
cure choice specimens for his table. .

The particulars of horrible occur
renee which transpired a few days ago
have Just been made public. 1t appears
that a young married lady placed her
sleeping infant, a little cherub three
months old, in cradle and left the
room. Five or ten minutes afterward
she heard a piercing shrek from the
little innocent, and Immediately rushed
to its side. She arrived IN time to see
large rat Jump from the cradle and jump
through the open door. Upon raising
the infant she found it cold in death.
the rat having bitten him through the
lip md cheek; producing spasms, in one
OF which the babe had died. The corpse
was laid out in the parlor, and, being
left unguarded a few minutes, a swarm
of rats entered and attacked it, devour-
ing nearly the entire face and arms
before their presence was discovered.
The housei in question is literally swarm
ing with large, ravenons Norway rats,
which frequently attack grown persons,
and are a source of terror to the occu-

Thus our predictions of the future of
the grain trade of Milwaukee have been
more than verified Milwaukee to-day
receives more than twice as much wheat
as Chicago, and more, from first hands,
than any other city IN the world. And
while the trade of Chicago must still
further decline, or at most, remain
stationary, that of Milwaukee must
rapidly increase.
The great lines of railway diverging
to the southwest on one hand, and to
the northwest on the other, then gradu-
| ally turning to meet in the very heart
of Minnesota, like two arms, hold 10
their embrace the best wheat producing
region ON the globe. These railways
are now centered in Milwaukee, and
will never consent that the produce of
this region shall be diverted from their
tracks till it reaches the terminus at
Milwaukee. We repeat that nothing
IN the ordinary course of events can
prevent Milwaukee from long enjoying
the fruits of her position as the greatest
primary wheat market in the world

pesIIns Of the chicago Wheat Trade.

We have always maintained that so
soon as Milwaukee could reach, with her
railways, the wheat producing regions
of Iowa and Minnesota, she would
at once assume rank as the greatest
primary wheat market In the world,
while Chicago, depending upon
country growing an inferior article of
grain for shipment, would gradually
decline to "a third or fourth rate wheat
market. BY the returns for the year
Just closing, it is shown that Chicago
has already fallen to the rank of third
receiving point In the Northwest, Mil
waukee and Toledo both leading her.
The decline in the wheat trade of Chi
cago is not accidental and exceptional,
but the result of natural and legitimate
causes. 1t is true that the production
of the Northwest, as q whole, has de-
creased since 1861, partly from the
result of the seasons, but principally
from tine absence of the laboring classes
in the war for the Union. Thus the
entire receipts OF Milwaukee and Chi
cago from the crop of 1861, were as fol-
lows:

RAIsE YouR owN cnoyER SEED.

''Raise your own clover seed and SOW
it with an unsparing hand, like nearly
all agricultural precepts needs qualifica-
ton. On a wheat farm it Is not easy
TO grow too much clover, provided 1T IS
all consumed on the farm, or plowed IN
as green manure; but it is quite easy to
raise too much clover seed. Glover is,
perhaps, all things considered, the best
renovating crop that can be grown on
a wheat farm. Like peas and beans,
clover is a leguminous plant, and draws
a considerable quantity of ammonia
from the atmosphere, while its deep
roots penetrate the subsoil and bring
up potash and other ingredients of
plant-food. 1t is admirably adapted to
our climate, and, as yet clover sickness
which is so troublesome on the light
soils of England, is known in but few
localities In this country.
Whether it is best for farmers to raise
their own seed is a question which de-
serves consideration. We have urged
them to do so for we think they will
be more likely to SOW more if they have
plenty of seed of their own, than if they
have to purchase. But it should be
