| The best method of hitching q num-
ber of teams, one before the other, is
to extend long chain or rope from the
leaders to the draught, and hitch the
other teams to this by means Of short
chains.
Corn Fj'aters: Young sweet corn,
pepper, salt, nutmeg, butter hot in q
pan. Crate the corn from the cobs in
to basin, season and drop by spoon
fuis into the pan, and fry until brown.
This is delicious break fast relish, but
requires considerable time to prepare
it.
Jenny Lind's Pudding: Crate the
crumb of half loaf, butter the dish
well, and lay in thick layer of the
crumbs pare ten Or twelve apples, cut
them down, and put layer Of them
and sugar; then crumbs alternately,
until the dish is full put bit of but
ter on the soP, and bake it well in an
oven. An excellent and economical
pudding.
Rice Cake: Takes six eggs, with their
weight in fine sugar, and in butter al
so, and half their weight of -four of
rice, half of wheaton -four; make the
cake as directed for MADEIRA cake, but
throw in the rice after the flour; then
add the butter in the usual way, and

rolled crackers, one taespoonful thyme
or summer savory. Make into long
roll, put into dripping pan with
water enough to keep from burning.

pork chopped.
WeeUa. Salt is said to be complete
preventive against the destruction of
wheat by weevil. Mix pint of salt
with barrel OF wheat, or put the
grain in old salt barrels. and the Wee
vii will not attack it. In stacking
wheat, four or five quarters of salt to
every hundred sheaves, sprinkled a
mong them, will entirely secure them
from the depredations of this insect,
aud render the straw more valuable as
| food for cattle.
Food for Pigs. A Highland county
correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette vouehes for the following as the
best feed to make the biggest hog out
of pig in twelve months Take two
parts barley, two of corn and one of
oats. Grind them together; then
cook and feed cold. This way of feed
ing is the cheapest way to make hogs
keep fat from the time they are pigs.
Take any pig CT good improved
breed, and IL can be made in this man
ner to gain one pound day until a
year old.
Oatmeal CfackQe1s: Add just suffi-
cient water to the oatmeal to wet it
through; let it stand ten minutes to
"set," then knead il with little flour,
and roll out, with well-foared pin
and board, to the thickness of a wheat
kernel, cut with knife, or small bis
cuit-cutter, and bake i'm quick oven
ten minutes, or Cntil they will crack
between the thumb and fingers. Do
not let them brown. Good with soup
| or alone LESS trouble to make than
| crackers.
Potato Pudding: Cook in water
two quarts and half of fine potatoes
and mash them through fire colan-
der. Mix them then with quarter
| pound of melted butter and the same
quantity of powdered sugar. When
the mixture is thorough, add six eggs,
beaten as if for an omelette, glass OF
brandy and pound of Zante currants.
! Mix again, turn the whole into
cloth, tie it that the pudding may not
escape. Put it to cook in boiling We
ter, boil for a quarter of an hour, take
it out of the cloth. Set it on dish,
aud serve it bathed in sauce made of a
glass of wine, In which sugar and
melted butter have been mingled.
| Close Grazing. If close grazing is In
furious, how is it that in pastures
which have not been plowed for years
there are patches where cattle ard
sheep have kept the grass at all times
very short, which always have much
thicker set of grass than where it has
been left long? Why Is it that when
the stock is taken away the grass grows
up In these places, SO closely eaten
down. in such thick mass of white
clover and other fine fibered grass; a. d
If mown for hay, why IS this always of
the best quantity, and, though not SO
long and coarse, yet heavier in weigh
Moreover, why shogld there he grass
Oh the roadsides and on waste places
near villages, where the surface has
not had the sod taken off, which, be-
ing grazed close by all manner of ami
mails, shows much better face
than farmers pastures?
Wheat for Feed. AT the present
price of the lower grades of wheat (un-
sound)-about one dollar and ten cents
per sixty pounds-it is the cheapest
feed in the market. 1t is estimated to
be worth one-fifth more than corn,
which is worth one dollar ner hnshel
