Mrs. E.IncOIn's Second Choice

The "happy dog" as our readers have
already been advised, is Count Schneider
butzen, Grand Chamberlain tothe Duke
of Baden Although this title is rath-
or imposing, it does not, in the Counts
own home, imply either an impressive
weight of dignity or purse noticably
heavy. The Duke of Baden has small
cash to spare, and none to bestow on
Grand Chamberlains, who have little
to do about his court, and who "come
cheap" in land where every fourth
man is count or baron. Indeed, a
moderate belly-full of kraut and plum
pernickel every Sunday is the only kind
of government pap" that ever distends
the shriveled skin of Schneidenbutzen,
who is an uncommonly sorry specimen
of the Teutonic nobility. The poor fell
low is said to be in ecStasies over his
good fortune in securing an heiress for
a wife, and to be especially joyous in
the prospect of falling into the vacant
shirts, socks, breeches, and shoes of the
''late lamented," large number of
which have not yet followed his coats
and hats to the junk shop. A pair of
the martyrs" trousers is being cut
down for Schnidenbutzen by Count
Kotzenbratzen, the Grand Dukes tai
lor, S. being short-legged little fellow,
while the late A. L., as everybody
knows, strobe the land on pair of nat
ural stills 1t viii be funny sight,
not, however without some melancholy
suggestiveness, to behold poor Schnei-
denbutzen leading " Mary, relict OF
Abraham Lincoln, deceased" to the al.
tar, clad in the veritable habiliments OF
his illustrious predecessor-his breeches
shining with autographs grease-spots
left by the White House dinners of the
past--llis little feet shaking about loose
in pair of Illinois boots mile to big
for them-and his tiny hands encased
in pair Of enormous yellow kids, IN
which the FIST Of the martyr was said tC
bear striking resemblance to a csnvased
Cincinnati ham. Poor little S.! Fol
our part, We don't begrudge him stitch
of the sacred wardrobe. He will have
earned it all before he is done Will
Mary L., and as she only reserved after
| her bereavement those garments which
nobody would buy, her new husband
| will begin his matrimonial career by
falling into uncommonly bad habits.
! The following sin gular and sudder
death occurred in New Albany on Fri
day: Mrs. Jergens had seated herself
with her child in Ter arms, for the pur
pose of nursing it, in front Of the CRATE
While thus occupied, she was sudden
ly seized with a fainting fit, and fell for
ward, striking her head against the irol
fender, How Ions she remained in al
insensible condition, she does not know
but when consciousness returned sh
found herself lying upon her child, ant
her head bleeding profus:ly from dec
cut made in it by her fall. She PLACED
the child in the cradle, not suspectin;
that it was hurt, and in her stunned an,
half insensiblc condition, not noticing i
particularly, and ran into the residenc
of DR.. Fisher, next door, for meo.ical ale
for herself. With the doctor she 500
returned to her own house, when to he
horror, she found that her child wa
dead.

The Development of Cereals.


Mr. f. +. Hallet read before the
British Association paper "On the
Law Of the Development Of Cereals.
From continued observations and
experiments, extended over nearly
twenty years, Mr.. Hallett said he had
arrived at the following conclusions
|. Every fully developed plant,
whether Of wheat, oats. or barley,
presents an ear superior in produc-
tive power 10 any of the rest Of that
plant. 2. Every such plant con
tains one grain which upon trial,
proves more productive than any
other. 3. The best grain in q Civ
en- plant is found in the best ear.
4. The superior vigor Of this grain
is transmissible in different degrees
to its progeny. s. By repeated
careful selection the superiority is
accumulated. 6. The Improvement
which is at first rapid, gradually,
after long series Of years, is dimin-
lshed in amount, and eventually so
far arrested that, practically speak
ing, q limit to improvement in the
desired quality is reached. Z. By
still continuing to select, the i'm
provement is maintained and practi-
caiiy fixed type is the result

Dressed Hogs.

At meeting OF the Delaware
(Ohlo) Farmers Club, the subject OF
Strengthening aud dressing hogs was
discussed, as well as the curing OF
pork. 1t Was recommended that the
hog should be laid on the back that
the party butchering should stand
over the hog, left hand on nose, edge
OF the knife toward the hog cut
both arteries, three inches sufficient,
I'VE better, The main thing being to
bleed we'll. Scald as soon as killed
two hogs to one kettle of water
blood is good test for tho water
IT too hot it curdles the blood; water
should be soft; if hard throw in some
ashes; some prefer pine tar or resin.
Throw bucket OF cold water over
the hog as soon as scai1ed-it closes
the pores and Whitens the skin
When hung up, wash, sorape upwards,
wash again, aud wipe with a cloth
should be thoroughly washed, scraped
and wiped; heart or liver should
never be cut IN the hog take entrails
out to jugular vein, then take the
vein, heart and liver out.
The pork should be slightly sailed
for two or three days, skin down,
and then turned and covered with
sal; put in brine f2r thirty days for
medium sized ham brine should be
preserved, old brine the best, but
should be boiled and skinned before
used salt should be wei rubbed in
coarse salt the best, not safe to use
SAT- in the bottom of the barrel after
having stood for same time eight
pounds salt, five pounds sugar, and
one-fourth pound salt-peter to 100
pounds meat is the best recipe.

Eg Few are aware Of the extent
to which the beet-root sugar manu-
facture is now carried on in Europe.
In France there are now 40 beet
root factories. 116 in Belgium and
255 in Prussia. Thirty years ago
only 10000 tons Of beet-sugar were
made in all Europe; last year 2 $780,
900 were produced in Switzerland
alone. In Austria, Russia, and many
other countries in Europe, proper
tomato amounts arc made. The aid
to agriculture, which at first was
not thought OF, has proved the very
best kind of food for herned cattle.
and thousands are raised now where
huodreds only were before. In the
district of country surrounding the
city of Valenciennes, here before

CooKING FooD FOR STocK-E. w,

Yorker in answer to an inquiry fol
some one who had practiced cooking
feed for stock for years and found il
paid. He says lie has cooked feed
for cattle, mich COWS, horses, sheep
and hogs, and found it pay at least
thirty per cent. over the ordinary
method Of feeding raw. This he has
done for 13 years and intends to
continue so doing.
Among other tests of the compar-
alive value &c has fed ten steers three
bushels Of raw corn meal, and ten OF
about equal weight on zone and a
half bushels Of cooked meal, and
found the latter came ont best after
three months trial. He has fed five
head of cattle 16 pounds of cooked
hay. and five other head 24 pounds OF
unlocked hay, and found the first to
do the best.
1t should be remembered that this
was done in the State of New York,
with land, food and stock are worth
more than they generally are in the
West. The profit from cooking

esS~ Scientific men have heretofore
had the impression that nothing but
the diamond was efficient for cutting
glass. This false impression is now
removed by the use Of rolling cut
ter hand tool, patented in 1864, and
improved in 1869, which has been
found to be better adapted for cutting
glass than the long-used diamond.
IL cuts easier, quicker, is more dura-
bic, and costs less than one-ifth the
price Of a diamond Another advan-
is that it can be made to traverse the
same line number of times without
injury, and bear other harsh usage
which would completely destroy the
cutting point of any ordinary dia-
mond. Any one can use it without
