For HoUsE-KEEpERs.-The following
are few valuable household hints, which
are worth preserving:
Save your suds for garden plants, or
for garden yards, when sandy.
Wash your tca-trays with cold suds
polish with little flour and rub with O
dry cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more starch than
fresh ones; they also make nice cake.
A hot shovel held over vanished fur.
niture will take out the white spots.
A bit Of glue dissolved in skim milk
and water will restore old Grape.
Ribbons of any kind should be washed
in cold soap suds, and not rinsed.
If your flat irons are rough, rub them
with fine salt, and it will make them
smooth.
Oat straw is the best for filling beds F;
it should be changed once year.
If you are buying carpet for durability,
choose smell figures.
A bit of soap rubbed on hinges OF
doors will prevent their creaking.
Scotch snuff put in holes where crickets
come out will destroy them.
A gallon of strong lye put in barrel
of hard water will make it as soft as
rain water.
Half cranberry on q corn will kill it.
Always mend the clothes before wash.
ing them.
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH.-One Of the
best preparations for keeping the feet dry
and comfortable is given in the last num-
ber of the N. Y. Clipper, reliable sport.
ing magazine, known all over the world.
The editor says: 1t will contribute much
to the sportsman's comfort to have his
boots dressed with the following mixture,
as this precautionary situation will not
only render them completely water tight,
but at the same time perfectly supple
One pint of boiled linseed oil eight
ounces of mutton suit; six ounces of
beeswax; four ounces of rosin; the
whole to be melted over slow fire, and
to be well.rubbed in with the hand while
warm." The above preparation should
be kept on hand by all persons exposed
to wet feet, that sure precursor of disease.
Its cost is comparatively trifing, while
the benefit derived from it may prove
Of untold value.

And blessings will come to the hearth and

The Uses of Glover.


1t would be very difficulty to over.
estimate the Importance Of this crop to
all farmers engaged 10 mixed husbandry.
Glover laid the foundation Of all those
wise systems OF rotation that have since
made the agriculture Of England mod
ell, and a marvel TO the world. Nor is
its importance much less in those Sec
tions Of America where its values are
appreciated and rightly applied. Glover
is valuable:
l. AS forage plant.
2. AS fertilizer.
AS a forage crop, its special value is
in quantity and quality of the hay that
it produces, and the rapidity with which
it comes to maturity after sown. Clo>
vcr properly cured, is almost equal to
good Timothy, for mich stock. In pas.
ture, the same relative values hold with
the addition that, for hogs, clover is q
grand specific, superior, perhaps, to all
other grasses.
The specific value Of Glover, however,
lies 10 its wonderful powers as fertili>
ger. In this respect it is unequaled by
any crop grown on the farm. The diff
ferent ways in which it adds to the fer
tility Of land are chiefly:
LIST. Shading the surface Of the soil.
Owing to its rapid and luxuriant
growth it soon forms close and heavy
covering over the soil, that acts as
mulch in protecting it from the scorch,
ing rays of the summer sun, At the
same time that the soil is protected the
weeds are smothered out and the land
cleaned up.
2md. By certifying and disintegra-
ting The soiI.--Clover possesses peculiar
ly long and powerful tap.roots, that
peentrate deep, loosening the soil and
admitting the air. Thus rapidly chan
ging the physical condition not only of
the soil, but of the subsoil also.
30. By cfecting important chemi-
cal changes, necessary to enrich the
earth ioih plant t0od.-Its abundance
of foliage enables Glover to gather from
the atmosphere immense stores of gases
that give life to the plants, which its
far.reaching roots send deep down into
the earth. Thus clover field becomes,
as it were, great reservoir for plant
food. And clover itself becomes a
great commissary, collecting food from
the earth aud the air for whatever crop
that may follow.
4m By precenting cashiag.--The
Clover mulch breaks the force of the
hard beating rains, while the roots hold
the soil 10 mat as it we're, thus pre-
venting it from washing,
9Th. As geeea manae,-Perhaps
no crop is so valuable for turning un-
der to green stage, as Glover. In
addition to the immense amount of rich
vegetable matter in its abundant roots,
the plant itself is extremely rich in all
the materials necessary to the health
full growth of succeeding crops.-Diric

MINCE PIEs.-The best kind of
meat, for mince pies, is beef; but the
hearts and tongue of pork will answer,
with some pieces Of fat meat. The
meat should be boiled in water, with n
little salt in it, from bones; take one
third meat, two.thrds apples, moiasses,
cinnamon, cloves, pepper and spice;
moisten the whole with warm water,
and little melted butter and lard, add
raisins, or any kind Of dried fruit
Ourrant wine or sweet cider gives them
a nice favor. Make rich crust, roll
it thin and bake, GA shallow plates,
three. fcurths of an hour; be careful
and not Gil the plates too full, as they
are apt TO run over. Cut an aperture,
an inch or two in length, on the top
with knife.
Mince meat, without apple, can be
kept several months, ia the following
manner Gut the meat 6ne, and sea-
son it quite high with the several spices,
and sweeten it quite sweet with sugar;
pack it into stone jar, aud turn over
the top, hot melted lard, an inch or
two thick cover the jar tight, and set
in a cool place. When there is any
meat needed, just remove the lard, and
take what is wanted, then pour hot
lard over the top, as before.-M, f.
Loss IN STACKING HAY.-A far,
mer of sound judgment aud large ex-
perience in cutting and storing hay
estimates his own loss in stacking at
twenty-five per cent. He cuts probably
hxndred tons year, and stacks 9th
part Of it for want Of barn room He
has very properly made up his mind
to build new barn. We think his
estimate is aot wide of the mark. There
is large loss from moulding at the
bottom of the stack, and old rails, boards
OF straw, villa mo- wholly prevent it
Then the whole external surface for
three to SIX inches, is weather beaten,
and loses much Of its sweetness, and il is
not iVaprobable that this loss Of aroma
extends through the whole stack. The
conviction is universal among intell-
gent men that barn stored hay Is worth
much tmOre than that which is taken
from tue stack. Why then follow this
wastefRl FractioeY Look at the great
loss to the farmer who cuts one hundred
tons of hay worth $4,000. According
TO his own estimate he pAyssl0O year
for the privilege of stacking oae-tifth
of his crop, This is but small part
of the loss where tho hay is fed out at
tbe stack. 1t cost at least third more
hay to keep cattle without shelter. These
are strong arguments for mWebRua room.

Suffering Abroad.

A correspondent writing from Tunis gives
sad account of the suffering at that point Fam.
inc of the most direful description is decimatino
the population, owing to drought and a failure
of the crops for the last three years. The Arabs
are dying by thousands from cold and starvation
In Tunis alone, eight thousand have died in two
months The streets are full of orphans from
three to eight years old, naked and starving, eat
ing the offal they find. To add to the suffering
the winter there is one of unusual severitt
Mothers abandon their children, or sell them to
Europeans for less than shilling. Private
charity can do but little, and the embarrassed
government not much more.
In our own country the suffering and want
is unparalleled but we see from the accounts
published concerning foreign countries, that our
condition is not half so bad that of the people
in other lands The whole world seems passing
through a terrible crisis. War, pestilence and
famine have made hecatombs of victims within
the past five years, and still the fearful work
goes on,
