the Cincinnati Times, has fully
recovered his health. He re-

been promoted, and now has
general supervision of the edi-

writing, pruning, approving or
rejecting their effusions. A
great portion of his labors will
therefore be found only in the

The, body. Of a dead child
was fOdnd Alastsatdrday in Elk
Fork of+Raecoon, about two
miles north Of Macarthur, ON
the farm of Ezekiel Robinett,
by one of his little daughters,
accompanied by a daughter of
George Ullom. Two inquests
were held upon the body, the
report Of the Juryin the first
case being that the child came
to its death by a blow upon the
back of the head. AT the
second inquest it was decided
that what at first appeared to
be a bruise upon the back Of
the head was from the effects
of decomposition; and that the
cause of the death was bleed
ing, from lack Of proper sur
gicaEattentlon at the time of
birth, either through ignorance
or design. The body lad been
in the water ten days or two
weeks. Air was found in the
l9ngssbu no blood in the
veins. No clue has been found
to the unnatural mother, who

To Fatten Hogs.

Many and various are the methods adopt
ed by our farmers for increasing the flesh
of hogs and pigs. One thing all agree upon
and that is that October and November are
the months to press food for flesh. After
that time we feed for heat as much as for
flesh.
Boiled food is undoubtedly the best to
fatten hogs, but something else is needed.
Cleanliness is very desirable. The finest
hogs We ever raised were washed every
Monday with warm suds. The ''hired :"
man was wonder in his way, did not shirk,
and of his own accord kept up the practice
all the season. An old broom was always
at hand to scrub them well, and they SEEM
ed to enjoy the process as much as our
children enjoy bath. We never relished
pork and ham so much as we did that sea-
son, knowing that the animals had been SO
well attended to.
Charcoal should be fed twice a week to
fattenng hogs; they eat it with great avid
ity, and it supplies carbon in its purest
state. A pan of it might be kept in the
pen, and trial made Of its fattening prop
critics. Sulphur is also useful condiment
which hogs eat greedily. Whether it is
essential to their health we know not, but
we do know that they relish it much more
than we used to relish a daily spoonful of
sulphur and molasses given to us in child
hood for spring debility.-IJM.

Pumpkin Pies.
PLAIN PUMPKIN-PIES.

Pie paSte.-Six cups of sifted flour; two
and a half cups of lard, shaved with a knife
into the flour; one tablespoon filled level
with salt. Moisten with two cups of water
or less (as moist as can be rolled.) In mix
ing, handle as lightly rs possible.
Several strips of the paste (rolled very
thin placed in layers around the edge, and
extending far enough to allow the custard
to conceal where they terminate below
give finish
Some persons are in the habit of notch
ing and ornamenting the edge of the pie
by flattcning it at intervals This is q
mistake, as any pressing upon tie paste in
terferes with tie proper AaIy appearance.
Pie-crust should also Invariably be made
in c?ol place.
Punsp&in. .fAi@g.-To prepare the pump
kin for baking: Peel it, take out the seeds,
cut it in pieces, put in hot water, and let it
stew until soft. Then strain it through a
colander. Afterward add cold milk, until
the mass is of a creamy consistency. To
every pint of milk allow two or four well
beaten eggs according to richness desired. J
Then add to the mixture two tablespoon
fuls of molasses to each pint of milk, if it
is desired to give darker surface to the
pie. Flavor with freshly. ground ginger and
cinnamon. Lay the pie-paste i'll buttercd
dish, and fill with the custard. Bake three
quarters of an hour

FARM IND HOUSEHOLD.
To Cure and Smoke Bacon.

At this season of the year, all our farm
ers are preparing to salt their hams and
bacon, SO we propose to give them recipe
whereby salting and smoking can be done
i'll one simple and short process. Many of
our housewives are forced to depend upon
their neighbors for conveniences to smoke
with. Those Of us who own smoke houses
know how difficult it is to smoke Just right.
By this process all trouble is avoided
Take large sized butter firkin, cask, or
barrel, according to the quantity Of meat
you desire to smoke. Place it over Il fire
of corn cobs with the corn on. Meat smok-
ed in this way is highly favored, the corn
seeming to produce a better taste than cobs,
or wood, or green walnuts. Let the tub
smoke from five to six hours. To one hun
dred pounds of meat take eight pounds of
salt, two pounds of coarse brown sugar (or
three pints of molasses, and two ounces Of
salt petre. Rub little fine salt into the
hams and shoulders, then put the meat into
the smoked tub, cover it with cold water,
turn in the salt, sugar, and saltpetre, cover
closely. sand set i'll n cool place where 1t Will
not freeze. If Il scum rises on the brine,
turn it of, scald and add little moro salt.
If desired to keep through the summer, in
the early spring smoke the tub three hours
longer, put back the meat and turn on the
brine when cold.
In month after picking, the hams will
be ready to use. They can be kept in the
brine all summer, and if a ham is cut,
return it to the tub for further use.
Beef and tongues can be kept in the
same manner, and there is no danger from
insects. In six or seven weeks the beef is
picked and smoked enough to dry. This
Is the surest and most expeditions way of
sailing and smoking pork and beef, and if
once tried will always be adopted.

Stacking Fodder.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph gives his mode of stacking fod
der as follows:
Gas soon as safe to crib the corn let the
husking proceed as rapidly as possible
Tie the fodder i'll bundles of moderate size,
and if practicable haul and stack as the
husking proceeds; two large two-horsc
wagon loads to the stack. have my corn
husked after rains only, or when it is so
damp that the fodder will not break. But
beware lest it is too wet when stacked.
Select a piece of ground near tho stable
for stacking yard, where water cannot
stand; throw down three rails crossing each
other to hold the tops of the bundles from
the ground; make the stack of Just such
diameter as will admit the bundles to lap
at the top sufficient to bind the stack and
keep the centre high sufficiently high, as
all stackers will understand, to have the
butts carry Off all water. No bilge to stack
is made. stand in the centre Of the stack
all tie time when stacking, and can stack
more rapidly than could be put away in
small shocks or set against fences or poles,
as is so often seen.

Justice to Babies.

Babies are not to blame for being
disagreeable; they can't help it. They
want to be let alone and kept out of
sight, if they are we'll bred; but their
foolish parents won't let them have
their way, unless the word is differ
emily spelled. The unfortunate Ba-
bies must be taken into the light, and
looked at, and criticised, and pOked
in the ribs, and asked to laugh a
little. The idea OF laughing under
such circumstances Crying is much
more natural, and they cry, of course.
Who wouldn't? To put a sensitive
and sensible Baby on exhibition, and
insist on it playing a comedy part
with dozen pins in its flesh, and
several doses of medicine internally,
revealing the ignorance of physicians.
is much like insisting that bereaved
son should dance a hOrnpipe at his
mothers funeral.
Nor are Babies bound to resemble
their father, or mother, or both at
time. They must have q confused
notion what their personal appear
ance is after being assured they are
exact cOunterparts of their parents,
aunts, uncles, grandfathers, grand
mothers, and all their cotempOraneOus
relatives. The truth is they don't
look like anything in particular but
themselves. Beauty is impossible to
them, and they know it. Their fam
lily pride is revOlted at the thought of
being compared TO their ancestors
who may chance TO be comely. Their
intuitive sense of art is quite sHffi-
cient to inform them that seven to
thirty pounds of scarlet avOirdupOis,
with impereeptible noses, prOtuber-
ant eyes, and entire absence of SYM
metry, do not constitute beauty.
They are conscious that they suffer
by comparison withaOther little ami
mails, even with geese and pigs, so far
as aesthetics go, and therefore, beauty
is a delicate subject they would pre-
fer not to have discussed. Babies
have no individuality of appearance
whatever, and discovering hkenesses
between them and mature persons is
as if we compared the tenderness of a
steak with the expression of human
eountenance.-PdcEdrd's Monthly for
May.

Dressing for Church.

Dress is alwaysa relative term; and
what Is Sunday-best to one person
would fall far below the weekday
worst of another. And vet line
somewhere there must be; and when
we come to speak of the classes
amongst whom dress is one of the
main concerns of life, we cannot doubt
that the majority Of chureh-goefs are
on the wrong side of it. They go to
church Over-dressed rather than dress
ed. Their raiment is for the benefit of
the congregation, and anything but
donned out of serious reverence for
the Creator and the sanetity of the
spot they are visiting. They make
Sunday pretext and an excuse for
OutdOing themselves in. extravaganza
of attire. Abundant evidence has
been given to prove that the most
severe hardships inflicted on millin-
ers and their assistants spring from an
exacting determination of fashionable
and would-be-fashionable women 10
have their new dresses, bonnets or
mantles home on Sunday morning,
in order that they may appear for the
first time in their new and gorgeous
livery-at church. Does any thought
of prayer or piety enter into such pitt
less calculations as these2 And is il
any worse TO turn the house of prayer
into a den OF thieves than to turn it
into vanity Fair?
