For THE SICK RooNI.-The following
recipe makes a deliciously refreshing
wash in the sick room, aud cools the
aching head. Take Of rosemary,
wormwood, lavender, rue, sage and
mint, large handful Of each. Place
in stone Jar, and turn over it one
gallon of strong cider-vinegar cover
closely, and keep near the fire for four
days. Then strain and add ono ounce
of pounded camphOr gum. Bottle
and keep tightly cOrked. There IS
a French legend connected with this
preparation called rigaiyre q quGrtre
coleurs. During the plague at Mar
settles, a band of robbers plundercd
the dead and dying without injury to
themselves. They were imprisoned,
tried and condemned to die, but were
pardoned on condition of disclosing
the secret whereby they could ransack
houses infected with the terrible
scourge. They gave the above recipe.
Another mode of using it is to
wash the face and hands with it before
exposing ones self to any infection.
1t is very aromatic and refreshing in
the sick room, so if it can accomplish
nothing moro, it is of great value to
hOusekeeDers.

a red one giving the darkest. Fifteen
bushels of apples are good estimate for
making a forty-five gallen eRsk, unless
the apples are very juicy. Summer cider
seems to succeed very well In making
vinegar. Before trying it, had always
understood that none but what was made
in the Fail would do so; that made in
August was good vinegar in March,
while that in the Fall has not turned
yet Ounce
Expressing the juice is a very simple
operation, which any one knows how to
do. So far, so easy. The trouble Of the
unlucky producer begins with putting 1t
in his casks. Many a one has vowed to
have nothing more to do with it--his
temper has been truly tried by seeing
the door covered with his choicest cider,
which he had been estimating at so much
per gallon truly in this case experience
Is bitter" How, then, TO prevent it from
leaking, is the question of greatest inter
est. III put in common oak barrels you
may count on losing from this cause
from one-third to One-halI with certain
ty. Some persons say that it is little
worm which bore through the wood !;
certainly the worm is in the cider, but
whether it does the damage is very
doubtful, at least in great many cases.
In oak, the cider will run along the
pores of the wood, and come out at the
end of the slaves; white pine heads are
no better. If any one will drive COM
mon oak stopper four or five inches long
into a barrel i'm the fermenting state, he
will soon see how it comes out.
Walnut appears to be CT TOO close Il
grain to permit the cider to pass; il ca
pable of being made into barrels would
probably hold without leaking. Casks,
If kept under ground or in damp place,
seem to leak more than if above, and III
a dry one. A person should have his
casks far enough apart to pass between
them and inspect them all every few
DAYS. Cider will draw out salt or any
such thing which the wood has absorbed
and therefore should not be put in such
I-Earmer's Gazette.

Cider vinegar.

As the seasOn for its manufacture ap-
prOaches few remarks on the subject
may not be amiss. A large quantity Of
what is bought for vinegar is made out
Of diluted acid, or a little mean whisky
and mOlasses. which spurious article,
though made largely at the North, is in
capable OF preserving pickles and such
like; many a hOusekeeper has found it
so to her SORROW, and after some expense
and much labor, thrown away the subject
Of many anxious cares. All which might
be easily prevented by being careful to
purchase from respectable dealers; or.
better still, from the producers, thereby
saving 20 themselves the merchants
commission, and being much more GER
tain to obtain IL pure.
Much has also been said about crab
apples alone being good for vinegar,
which Is entirely without foundation,
and indeed 70 IS much TO be doubted
whether there u any perceptable differ
enee, and, taking into consideration the
smaller yield Of the crab, It Is far less
DrOGtablc, and therefore less able TO COM
ryete with the imitation.

What Should Planters do with their
Cotton!

Under this head the Columbus En-
quirer says:
An extensive planter suggests to US
a plan whereby he thinks much Of the
loss that will result from throwing a
large cotton crop upon the market
next winter may be avoided. He
proposes that all planters, who are not
forced to sell the whole Of their crops
to meet engagements and current ex-
penses, should sell only one-half, and
keep the balance IN the seed on their
own premises. His objection to gin
ming and bailing the cotton to be re-
tanned, is not only the preasent high
price of bagging, but the fact (which
he has ascertained by actual expert
ence,) that cotton will improve in
both quality and weight when kept
unginned, but will loss in both when
packed. lie tells of q considerable
quantity bought in the seed during
our late war, which was suffered to
remain uuginned several years. When
finally ginned it was found that less
than three pounds in the seed yielded
a pound Of lit, and the lint was rich
slightly yellow color, and very fine in
appearance. This was no doubt due
to the absorption by the lint Of some
of the oil in the seed-the seed by this
process being rendered lighter and the
lint heavier.
BY the proposed plan the expenses
Of storing for an indefinite time may
be avoided, and planters may at the
same time defeat the schemes of spec
ulatOrs who hope to make q large
crop, the war, ETC., preteXts for swind-
ling the producer out of the real value
of his staple. The mistake of plant
ing large crops Of cotton and small
crops of grain this year may be cor
rected by holding over, in this way, a
cotton crop, and paying special atten-
ton to provision crops next year. If
three millions and a half or four
millions of bales should be produced
this year, hold over a million or a
million aud half of bales of it, iR the
seed, and next year make only two
and half or three millions of bales.
BY this means the supply may be adj
justed to tic demand, and cotton
planters may do much to protect their
great interest from the leechcs that
have attached themselves to il, and
whose greed is almost as destructive
as the ravages of the boil worm.
The suggestion seems to us to be
one especially deserving the attention
of the whole country, and we cheer
fully comply with request of our
planting friends by asking our ex-
changes to assist in bringing it TO
their notice.
Tue gentleman proposing this plan
has ascertained, on inquiry, that there
will Be no difficulty in obtaining in
surance upon cotton kept unginncd
on the plantation.

Baron bIebig's MeThOd or Making
Coffee.

The usual method of preparing coffee
arc, first, by filtration; second, Dy 1HJH-
sion; third, By boiling.
Filtration gives often, but not always,
a good cup OF coffee. When the pouring
the boiling water OTer the ground coffee
is done slowly, the drops in passing
come in contact with too much air,
whose oxygen works a change in the
aromatic particles, and often destroys
them entirely. The extraction, more
over, is incomplete. Instead of 20 to q
per cent, the water dissOlves only IL 10
is per cent, and to 10 per cent. IS lost.
Infusion is accomplished by making
the water boil, and then putting it in the
ground coffee; the vessel being immedl-
ately taken off the fire and allOwed to
stand quietly for about ten minutes.
The coffee is ready for use when the
powder swimming on the surface fails TO
the bottom on slightly stirring it: This
method gives very aromatic cohee, put
one containing little extract.
BOiEiR1, as is the custom in the East,
Yields excellent coffee. The powder IS
put on the fire in cold water, which Is
allowed merely to boil up few seconds.
The fine particles of coffee are drunk
with the beverage. If boiled long, the
aromatic parts are volatilized, and the
coffee is then rich III extract, but poor
IN aroma.
As the best method, adopt the follow
ing, which is a union of the second and
third:
With three-fourths of the coffee to be
employed, after being ground, the water
is made to boil for 10 or ID minutes. The
one-quarter of the coffee which has been
kept back, is then flung in, and the yes
sci Immediately withdrawn from the fire,
covered over, and allowed to stand for
five or six minutes, In order that the
powder on the surface may fall to the
bottom, it is stirred round; the deposit
takes place. and the coffee poured of is
ready for use. In order to separate the
dregs more completely, the coffee may
be passed through a clean cloth; but
generally this is not necessary, and often
prejudicial to the pure flavor Of the bev-
erage.
The first boiling gives the strength,
the second edition the flavor. The wa
ter does not dissolve of the aromatic sub
stances more than the fourth part con-
tanned in the roasted coffee,
The beverage when ready ought to be
ola broWn-black color; untransparent it
always is, somewhat like chocolate thin
cd with water; and this want OF clear
ness in coffee so prepared does not come
from the fine grounds, but from peeu-
liar fat resembling butter, about i per
cent of which the berries cOntsin, and
which, flower roasted, is partly destroy
cd. In the other methods of making
coffee, more than the half of the valuable
parts OF the berries remains in the
grounds" and is lost.

Grasses With Grain.

the Ohio Farmer does not favor
the plan of sowing grass seed with
small grain as is often done. This
subject was brought up incidentally
at the last meating Of our Farmers
Club by an inquiry of Judge Kin
kead's as the best grain for rotation.
The Ohio Farmer says:
We have for some time investigated
the practice so common of putting IN
grass seed with some other crop.
True, we often see good meadows
come Ofseed sOWn with oats or wheat,
but is not the grass crop of sufficient
Importance to warrant putting it in as
a crop by itself without subjecting 1t
to a season of subordinate and over
shadOwed growth? Farmers who
practice thus suboFdinating this crop,
fatter themselves that they gain one
season in getting their field sod. We
think otherwise besides, if field is
to be kept in grass for some years
without manure, it should have the
whole strength of the previous tiliage
to start upon, instead of being forced
to take up with such elements as other
crops has enfeebled or refused.
In Southern Ohio, where timothy
nay is most popular Iii market, me
best cultivatOrs put in their grass in
the same manner they do wheat
crop, and when they come to count
the profits of their produce, they do
not need any better argument than
that they have both made money and
gained time.
After the subject of latitude and
adaptation of soils, comes the ques-
ton of particular uses, viz: for what
kind of stock is the hay or pasture in
tended. Good timothy hay is best
for horses, while clover, rightly cured,
and finer succulent grasses, are more
desirable for young cows and young
stock. All this is so readily under.
stood that we need not enlarge upon
/ it, since we often hear of sheep farms
dairy farms, stock farms, etc, which
recognize the principle Of adaptation
of which we have been speaking.

English Farm Teams.


There are different views held by
american farmers as to the desirable
ity, or otherwise, for heavy draft
teams for farm uses. The testimony
which comes to us, favOrs heavy hOr-
ses as the more economical. In this
view of the case we coincide. Farm
ers would do better blowing, and all
farm work better with less wear and
tear, in proportion to the expense, we
think, if farm horses were bred and
built for draft horses if they have
weight as we'll as muscle. The Eng
fish draft hOrses-Clydesdale and Suf-
folk, and the French Percheron, are
classes we are glad to see introduced
here. The extended experience of
English and French farmers and their
attachment to the classes of horses,
ought to have weight with our farm
ers. There is 10 good reason why
men should have to care tor three
horses, provide harness, &c, when
two will do the same work with quite
as great ease and more comfort than
those who manage them. And as to
the relative cost of keep, we cannot
believe that the balance will be i'll IA
VOr CT three horses and against two
that will do the Same work. All this,
however, is a matter which experience
alone can determine. As we have
said above, the balance of testimony
faYOrs horses of greater Weight-not
horses which possess weight without
strength, as many of our American
monorels do, but horses that are bred
with a view to service and endurance,
combined with weight and tsrength.
