planter has to buy, his safest plan will
be to apply to a neighbor in whom he has
full confidence, or send to reliable COM
mission merchant The germ is so easily
affected by frost as not to be readily de-
tected by the eye, while yet the market
value is not at all impaired. Unless your
correspondent knows where he can pro-
cure seed that may be depended on, it
would be advisable for him to send to Nor
folk. The headquarters of the trade in
Virginia is there; and if he will apply to
George J.-Rogers, or any other leading
commission merchant, he will not be dis
appointed By far the largest proportion
of the Virginia crop of last year is utterly
unfit for planting, by reason of the Sc
verify of the early frosts. Two bushels

the pellicle is rupturedD will be suficien
to plant an acre, and the price will proba
bly, be So, or perhaps $3.50 per bushel
Some of our planters raise as much as q
hundred bushels per acre, others seventy
five, and so on down to twenty-five. Il
fair yield, of an average season, may be
stated at fifty bushels. Last year the crop
was almost failure, owing to the pro-
tracted drouth which prevailed throughout
the country. The vines, however, lacked
nothing in luxuriance, they never looked
more promising, but the parched earth
caused abortion of the pods.
The reason for shallow culture recon-
mended and practiced by planters, is
found in the fact that the elongation of
the peduncles continues until a firm bed is
reached on which to deposit the fruit.
When made at shallow depth, the hN-
yesting is greatly facilitated.
Peanut vines make excellent provender,
being rich and nutritious, and sell readily
in our market ut fifty cents per hundred.

A citizen of Stamford, Ky, furnishes
the following:
''Thc very best manure for all kinds Of

test has demonstrated that it is valuable
as manure for all kinds of vegetation,
and better than anything else for flower

OF that heritage is applied to the plants in

Covering for Hot-Reds.

AS the season for making hot-beds is
near at hand, probably some of your
readers would be glad to learn very
cheap and good manner of covering them,
which is 10 tack common cloth on suit
able frames, then paint or oil them with
the following preparation, viz: Three
pints best linseed oil and four ounces
resin melted together, then add one ounce
sugar of lead, rubbed up IN little Of the
oil. This is about enough for five yards
thin shifting. y correspondent of the
RUrdl CdrOlinjul says:
"This covering is not only much cheap
or than glass, both in the frames and the
covering, but it is also much better, be-
cause, being Opaque, there is no radiation
of heat at night; therefore tender plants
are not so liable to be killed then, or so apt
to be burnt by the rays of the sun during
warm days. Frames thus covered, if
carefully housed when no longer needed
for use, ought to last for years. Persons
unwilling to go to the expense and trouble
of a hot-bed, can easily grow as many to-
mato, Guinea squash, and other plants as
would be needed for a family, by taking
one or more boxes or flour barrels, cut in
half, filling them with rich earth, sowing
the seeds in them and then keeping it or
them in a window exposed to the sun at
least part of the day. A window on the
south would be best, but either east or
west would answer, and a chamber would
be better than q sitting-room, because like

Rarne.tie Econemr.

STUFFED ArPLBs.-A snowy dish Il
made by coring with corer) the whole
pared apples, stuffing them with sugar
and stewed raisins, and baking quickly in
the same way Pile them up before ssFv-
ing en- pyramid, and they viii be an orn-
ament fit for sny table.
SHoRrsN1Ne.- Most people uss lard and
even pork-fat for shortening. Some of
US do not. Any kind Of shortening needs
to be carefully used or it will become an
sbominstion. It is not 80 essential an ar
ticle in cooking as many imagine. OF all
kinds give the preference to sweet cream.
PIe-crust made with lard is whittier, but
made with cream it is more wholesome.
APPLE RoLL-Make paste with one
fourth of pound of butter to one of
flour; NIX with water, not very stir; peel
and slice very thickly tart apples; roll the
paste very thin, or as thin as the bottom
crust Of a PIE, spread the apples on the
crust so rs to cover it dredge on little
flour, and roll tightly as possible. Cut the
ends even, and put it in the steamer, or
wrap it in thick cloth and boil it; or it
may be baked. Il will take one hour
steady cooking. Serve with butter and
sugar. Cut in thin slices from the end
when serving.
IRISH PoTAToBs-Lrish potatoes are the
best baked. They should be washed per-
fectly clean, and baked quickly in a het
oven, but without burning in the least.
Each potato should be pressed as taken
out of the oven, 50 as to break the skin
and allow the steam to escape, which
leaves them more mealy than they other
wise would be. Next to baking, steam
ing is the best They should steam till
the skin craks (as it always will if the po-
tstoes are good and be eaten Immediately,
as they soon become solid. In boiling
potatoes, pour the water from them be-
fore they are quite done. 4 few spoons
full of cold water should then be poured
over them, and the kettle placed upon
hot part Of the stove till the potatoes are
wanted. Never place close cover over
Irish potatoes after they are cooked, ~ it
tends to make them vet and hard.
HARD SoAP-A correspondent sends
the Cincinnati Chronicle the following
recipe for making soap, and warrants it
to be as good as any of the patent washing
fluids:
'.Six lbs sal-soda, six lbs unslacked
white lime, one teaspoonful fine salt, and
five gallons Of soft water. Put the soda
and lime in a tub, and pour sver them
the water boilinghot, stir to dissolve,
let it stand until il is clear, then pour Of
the clear liquid. Add the fat and salt,
and boil together four hours. Then pour
into pans or deep dishes TO cool. Then
cut out into bars to harden.
The above recipe has been tried by
number Of our friends, and will make
thirty lbs or more Of excellent white hard
soap, at a very small cost. To farmers
wives, the outlay will only be FOX soda,
thirty five cents, and should not be more
than twenty-four cents in the city. To
make nice soap for washing hands, etc,
take one-halt Of the above ingredients,
using mutton tslloW instead OF common
grease, adding two ounces Of bOrax and
two ounce essence of bergamOt or saSsa-
fras,

The Rest way TO Feed Calves of
Choice breeds.

To the inquiry as to the best feed and
mode of feeding to make the greatest
growth and weight on thorough short
horn calves until they are a year old, a
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
replies:
'In the first place, see that they are
in warm shelters in all damp, cold wealth
cr Put them in stalls or tie them sepa-
rately when at meals. See that they are
fed regularly three times a day. In the
morning feed them on bran and shorts,
mixed in equal parts, or oat meal At
noon feed them sugar bCCts, steamed I'M
til they are well cooked. Or, if you have
not got beets, potatoes or turnips viii
answer; but some kinds of roots seem al
ways advantageous. In the evening feed
a mess of chop feed; either bright straw
or hay cut and mixed with shorts or Oat
meal. 4 good groom will soon learn
how to regulate the quantity of each
kind of food required better than / can
tell him. This mode of feeding should
be continued until the grass is of sullici-
ent size and substance TO turn on; then
omit all but the bran, and give them all
the bran they will eat while on the grass.
Now, if you have not the beets, be sure
and raise them this summer, that you may
have them when you take your calves off
of the grass next fall. | have expert
mented enough with sugar beets in feed
ing and fattening cattle and sheep to
know that one acre of bccts is cqual TO
six acres of corn.

'sNO LITTLE PRAYERS TO HEAR
TO.NIGHT

while at the lonely home Of Prof. b. L. Baker
Of Buffalo, n Y. when little Clara and Louisa la
in the sweet sleep of death, the heart-strickei
mother made the touching remark to a friend
''I'Oe no little prayers 70 hear tO-nigh'1
Over the pictures the shadows fall,
Slowly the light fades in the West,
Under the window and garden wall
Silly voices whispering "rest,7
sad is the thought in the waning light
ono little prayers 20 hear tonight"
Voices are hushed in the noisy street,
Children have left their haunts of play:
Round the table dear ones meet
Gladly they welcome the close of day;
Fondly the mother is bending there,
Softly whispering the little prayer.
Precious the hour of early eve,
Folding the dear ones to their rest
Watching the course Of the early dream,
Moving the gentle, guileless breast,
Is time on earth more fair and bright,
Than the hour Of the little prayer at night?
But the lips are sealed, and their rest is cold,
And they cannot hear me any more,
And strangely still is the snowy fold
That covers my cherub children DER;
They dream no more in the waning light,
I've no little prayers to hear tonight
''If should die" says the little prayer,
30 take my soul to its happy home,
Where all is beautiful and fair. y
And the answering angel now has come:
An so, in the land of love and light,
They are singing their beautiful song to-Light.
o, mothers. who list TO the music wild,-
The songs that the merry children sing,
Who drink of the pleasure undehled,
That childhoods pure affections bring,
o weary not, your reward is bright,
For the sweet little prayers you hear tonight

How to Prevent Rats and Mice from
DcstrOYing Oats In the Now.

How to Prevent Rats and Mice from
Destroying Oats in the Now.
Mr.. w. w. Thrasher states in the Gin
cinnati Gazette that by mere accident,
four years ago, he discovered an effectual
remedy to prevent rats and mice from de-
stroying oats in the NOW, and as it is a
very simple one it is certainly worth a
trial. He says;
KIT was a rainy, bad season to harvest
oats and save them. The last load l
brought in were too damp to stow away
in the NOW. 1t occurred to me, however,
if would salt them, perhaps they would
dry out and save. l therefore applied
salt pretty freely. In the spring, when l
had occasion to use them, found that
they had not only kept well, but had not
been disturbed by the rats and mice at all,
while, in the same NOW, the oats not
sailed were literally cut to pieces and al
most worthless. Every year since then I
have uniformly employed salt, and with
the same gratifying results.
