New Farmers Club.

The following witty little satire from tho D.
kalb News, contains a much needed lesson TO
many farmer of this County:
The Laza Farmers Club held its first meeting
at Burts saloon, in DeKalb, on the evening Of
the gath, instant, and from the reports of the
members present we CLEAN the following facts Of
great interest to our readers: .a
The crop of reapers planted in the fields at the
close OF last harvest are doing WELL although the
season thus far has been so dry that they have
not taken rust, yet should we have wet spring
it is hoped that they will not turn out as ordin.
arily next fall. The crop of mowers sown il un.
usually large and as this crop is generally sown
in wet places it is supposed that it will turn out
well-for the agricultural men. Great care
should always be taken to SOW this crop in fields
where colts and cattle will be sure to run over
them, as it helps the crops materially, and i'm.
proves the limbs Of the stock The sickles should.
of course be left in the machine.
Horse rakes and cultivators should be sown on
the GROUND where used last. The wood work
will be found to be materially improved and
strengthened. Cultivators should have the SHOW.
els well imbedded in the SOIL as the crust that
is formed on the shovels will be found a great
protection, and keeps them from being worn out
the next year
Small tools are generally well scattered over
the farms, but it is feared that owing to the
small amount Of snow this winter many NAV be
carried off by the enemies OF tire society, who
still insist upon putting these implements under
cover, whore they may be found when wanted.
Scythes should either be hung on the fence, where
cattle will run against them, or lay on tie
ground for stock to run over. This will be found
great benefit, as it will generally fix the cattle
so that they will not go far away from home
Threshing machines are generally left any
where that there is plenty of rain and snow, and
as this keeps moist and makes them sure to
break and give good resting spell to the hands,

Artificial Wine.

john F. Siebenmann, Milwaukee, Wis, has
obtained patent for the following queer mix
ture: Water, fifty gallons; raise the tempsra-
tire of the room to SO 80 deg. Fab, after which
add the following ingredients:
White sugar, 95pounds $50 pounds.
Pure tartaric acid. 8 pa
Tamarind, g 8
Raisins d IL
The raisins should be severed from the stems
and cut or crushed. Boiling water should then
be added until the temperature of the mas. is
raised from 81 to 80 deg. The mass should then
be well mixed to dissolve the sugar and acid,
When dissolved, add six pints of good beer Yeast,
for the ordinary quality, or eight and quarter
for the best quality, and mix thoroughly. If
wine yeast can be procured, as it can be after it
is once formed, 1t may be used instead, but dou-
bic in quantity.
Care should be taken that the temperature
does not rise above 80 deg, nor fall below S1-S6
being suited for the purpose. In about twelve
hours the mass will be in fermentation, and at
first it should be stirred about once in twelve
hours, but afterward once in twenty-four hours,
until fermentation ceases, which will OCCUR in
from ten to fourteen days. When the fermenta.
ton is over, the wine is placed in casks and put
into the cellar, where it still ferments for three
or four weeks, after which it is ready to be drawn
from the casks and purified. In order to give to
the wine, especially the best quality, its ''bou.
quet," the following ingredients are added to the
mass in the tub, before the yeast is added Fresh
dried elder flowers, OF; crushed nutmegs, d
o.; cut mace. d o.; Florentine iris root, Is or
and one pod of vanilla, also cut. The color is
impaired by the application of the sugar color, .

after the second fermentation is completed and

wine, fruits or berries are used which give red
COLOR such as cherries, whortleberries, elderbsr.
