MISSOURI correspondent of the COun-
try Gentleman says that honey locusts for
posts, is about as durable as sassalras, not
equal to black walnut-onc black walnut
post is worth three or four of honey locust.
He thinks that honey locust is much less,
durable in some localities than in others,
not lasting half as long in Missouri as in
Kentucky.
PEAR trees growing in grass are seldom
productive. The best way of treating
them is, to dig away the grass and weeds
from wide space over the roots in the fall,
taking care not to damage the roots in so
doing, and to cover the ground with old
barn-yard manure. This should be left
undiSturbed until spring and then worked
into the soil with digging fork.

the following recipe to the Western ,Rurdl.;
Take ten or dozen common sized pota-
toes, and boil and mash them; boil a
handful OF hops in two quarts of water;
scald quart of flour; add the flour and
potatoes together put in one cup of sugar,
one, half cup of ginger, and let II stand
until cool enough not to scald; then stir in
yeast, anu let II rise when light put it in
a jug and cork 1t tightly, and set in cool
