FARM AND FIaEsIDE.

respondent OF the -1IGTytdFid FoTH1ef gives
his experience ahd practice IN the MANN
fa.;ure ct kind of mock apple butter,
which hs says is an excellent article for
family use, and more chsapiy made than
sas old fashioned apple butter. The In
Erelisn;s sJr 6ve or six pail kettle o!
butter are-24 bushels of pared and sliced
sweet pumpkins, the same amount OF par~
ed and cored apples, SIX quarts of molas-
sss tSo pouads of brown sugar, 6ttesn
ucinces and shilliDgs worth Of cinna-
rnon Having prepared the ingredients.
~: pail of clan water IN the kettle and
mid tho pumpkin. Boil till fine, then add
rs upples gradually and stir to keep from
burninS When done fine, mix the mo-
,assas ia warm water AMI add 70 the bat
.es. Coni;ole stirring for time and then
al tho sugar. When cooked abou!
enough, add cinnamon, and the work 10
.:one. The pumpkin is mndo to snp-
yiy the place Of cider, which now bears so
high pr!Se ns TO make The butter quite
Gxpersiyo. If there is n perceptible pump:
Kin taste, the addition OF little moro
lnolassca nnl sagsr will serve 10 destroy
it, while supplying very desirable arti-
Gle tor family consumption. When cider
j, used the pumpkin may be dispensed
with, as j: is only a substitute for that
article.
Glow 70 SER GATE PosTs.-Take equal
ulanti;iss Of water-lime and quick-h lime,
and mix with sand as usual; put two or
three inches Of mortar and coarse gravel
n Chc bottom of the hole, SO the end Of

GO: y.ur pcs. in, toy end down; FL in sew
,.rai inches of coarse g a7el, pound it down;
Then more mortar and more gravel, and
50 DO until the cement is raised above the
ground several inches around the post.
Slant it away from the post in every di-
reciion, so as TO turn off the water then
take coal tar aud brush, point around
the bottom o. the post, and FIJI the intcr>
slice between the p,st snd cement " 81
coal saC. N. B.--Only mix enough mor~
ssr for one hole at a time. Your post
%a be 81 solid as if set in stone il don't
heayc out with the frost and Sag around

10 MAKE Pure ArPLE WINE.-Take
good, new cider, fresh from the press dis~
solve it IN 90 pounds of common brown
sngnr 10 each fifteen gallons OF cider, and
let it settle, Then put this fifteen gallons
into q clean barrel, and fill the barrel up
with clear cider to within two gallons Of
being fal Leave the bung out for forty
eight huurs Ghen-put the bung IN, With
anal! vent, Let tho barrel stand for q
year--iho wine is then fit for use. II
needs no racking. The longer it stands
ths better. We give the above recipe on
the principle on which Moses tolerated
eoncubinage. Ii is so much better to
drink wine without 30 mach poisonous
drugs, that costs % or 25 cents u gallon,
than The vile poisons which costs from So
70 S5 per gallon, that wO think the change
would be an inproysIu0ue.-GIn Ine'ue. end

Corn AND Ho0s. The y. Z Iudl-
pendent says, from carefully conducted
experiments by different persons, it has
been ascertained that one bushel of corn
wil make little over l04 pounds of

his. The t,lowing deductions are made
which all our farmers would do well to
lay bv FOR coDveniont reference-that:
= Wheu corn sells for l24 cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per pound.
Wheu corn costs II cents per bushel
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per bushel
pork costs B cents per pound.
When cora costs 86 cents per bushel
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costa so cents per bushe!
pork costs cents per pound.
