ing valuable receipts, either one of which
is worth more than the price OF year
subscription to the Register
GREES CoRN.-A writer in tho Ger
mantown Telegraph says, that green corn
may be kept the year around by picking
it with the husk on, in brine strong
enough to preserve cucunbers, care being
taken 10 keep il covered with brine.
Boiling it in good supply Of water, will
freshen it sufficiently for the table. 1t is
worth trying.
As this is the season for putting grain
il rcks, SAYS the U'lnchcsicr Times, we
will state the manner IN which a man of
observation in this county, who is both
farmer and miller, says the rcks should
be made to preserve The grain IN the best
manner. The rick should stand north
and south, with the northern end smaller
than the Southern, and several feet higher
in the middle than Elsewhere. Then
built and located in this way, all except
very small portion Of the rick ecIs the
benefit Of the sun.
BLACKBERRY WINE.-Put the berries
in a large lub; 10 every gallon Of berries
pour on one pint Of boiling wafer. bruise
them with maI.ei and let them remain
until the mex, DAY; strain through a thick
cloth. To every gallon Of the juice add
two and one.haii pounds Of sugar. Strain
again and put into cask, cover the bung
with mu.lin, puti,In a cool place, shake
the cask daily until iomerIalIon ceases.

receipt has been followed lOT ten years
aud never failed.
WARTS oN Cows TEATs.-Tbl' mi.
sance may be abaied when the COW IS dry
more easily than when she Is giving milk.
Small warts nav. however. often be re-
moved by some simple application, which
will give lItle or no pam. MoIslening

water, applying paste Of wood ashes TO
the warts only, or touching them with al
most any Causric IN way that will not
make them sore, will usually, but gradu-
