Soups.

A GOOD soup contains the nutriment
most needed, for trifling expense, and
should be found on every table at least
twice week-once day would be better
A few points are very essential in max
ing good soup. Beef is the best meat for
the purpose, as it contains the most nour-
ishment. A shank bone well cracked.
that the marrow may be extracted, which
you can purchase for the trifling sum of
10 cents, will make an abundant soup for
. family OF half dozen persons twice.
The bone should be put to soak in cold
water, allowing a full quart for every
pound of meat, and by very gradual heat
come to a slow simmer, which should be
kept up five or six hours. Soup should
on no account be allowed to boil, except
for the last ten or fifteen minutes, to cook
the vegetables in finishing. For the first
hour of simmering, it should be frequently
skinned. Salt and pepper and savory
should be cooked in it from the first, and
the rice added at last for thickening. If
vegetables are desired they should be
neatly sliced, and the soup strained finally
through q sieve. Great care should be
used to skim off the fat as it rises, which
will be necessary for some hours. If soup
Is allowed to cool and used the second
day after making, it will be all the better,
as then all grease can be entirely removed.
Very delicious soups can be made in
the same manner, from game, fowls, NUT
ten, or veal, and thickening them with q
little arrOw-rOOt or corn starch.-COr.

Caring for stock.

A farmers first care il to his family the
second should be the domestic animals.
"Be thou diligent to know the state of thv
fOcks, and look well to thy herds" Il
will not do to leave them to the care of
hired men. Warrington made it a rule to
visit his stables every morning, and nut
his hand on every horse to see if it had
been groomed properly, and otherwise
well cared for. One of the largest breed.
ers of Short-Horns in the world, once told
me that ne made it rule, every night in
winter, to take q lantern and visit his
stable at nine O'Clock, to see that every
animal was comfortable. He has this year
sold animals at $4,000 apiece.
There are very few ordinary farm men
that are TT to have anything to do with
domestic animals. They never pet them.
rarely speak to them except in harsh
tones, and like to use whip better than
curry-comb. If man kicks a COW dis.
miss him on the spot. Better let crops
suffer than have such a brute on the
premises. 44aa
/ keep quite number of thoroughbred
pigs and they are as gentle as lambs. But
most men have been 30 long in the habit
OF abusing pig, that if you ask one of
them to go into pen and drive up the
pigs, he will look around for club. And
1t is curious to see how unerringly the
pigs know that he is not q gentleman.
They will commence to bark at him and
manifest other symptoms of uneasiness.
Beware of the man that pig, dog, or a
child is afraid of. There is something
wrong about him.-Amertcan AgricuI-

Let Horses Have Their Natural Gait.

IT is bad policy to move team out of
its natural gait, especially with load. 1t
is far better to put on full load, and even
own time for moving it to its place Of
destination, than to make two loads of it
and hurry them. There is q certain de-
gree Of rapidity Of action peculiar to the
muscles Of each class of animals, and in.
deed to each individual animal, and if
they are pressed beyond this, fatigue fol-
lows quickly, while within this limit great
endurance is witnessed. To test this, let
q man attempt to move his arms as rapid
" as bird does its wings, or his legs
in walking a. rapidly . little boy,
and see how greatly he will be.
come exhausted. This will convince him
of the folly of attempting TO make his
heavy draft horses move with the rapidity
of the pony or fast trotter. The law Of
nature is that heavy bodies move slowly.

One Of Barnun's Enterprises Which he
Never Carried Out.

NoTICING the recent discovery of an
eighteen foot skeleton with q helmet to
match and q sword nine feet long, am re-
minded Of story of the celebrated p. r.
Barnum, which was related to me by him
self, shortly after his return from his first
European tour with Gen. Tom Thumb,
and which, believe, has never yet found
Its way into print. 1t appears that shortly
after the advent of the Mermaid" and
the "Wooly Horse" one of Barnum's
agents conceived the idea of producing the
skeleton of an exaggerated giant, and an
ingenious German was set to work to
manufacture it, with anatomical accuracy,
from various bones, etc., which the mu.
scum afforded. Considerable progress
had been made in the work at the time
Barnum was about to leave for Europe,
but at that time Mr.. B., fearing some con-
treteDaps In the management OF the affair,
during his absence, directed his agent to
discontinue the work, and settle up with
the German on the best terms he could.
As the artist was to have had q specific
sum for the completion of the skeleton,
the agent, having paid part of the con.
tract money - the work progressed, final
ly closed up the matter with the artist by
giving him small sum of money, and
surrendering all claim to the unfin.
ished skeleton.
The artist, having more faith in the
speculation than Mr.. Barnum, concluded
TO 60 on and finish the skeleton, and carry
out the original programme. This was to
buy quarter section Of land in some part
of the great West, where population was
sparse, and bury the skeleton. In due
time, when 1t was supposed to be "ripe,
log house was erected by some supposed
actual settler, and Of course . well was re.
quired to be dug. Laborers were hired,
and under the direction of the proper per-
son, excavation was commenced, and, re.
markable to say, the bones Of giant,
remnant Of former ageA were dis.
coveredl The diggers gave testimony as
to the finding. Clergymen, Judges, and
other reliable dignitarieA were summoned
to be present ct the final exhumation, and
whole columns of honest testimony was
prepared % to the authenticity Of the dis.
covefy. But It required the genius of . Bar.
mum to make this discovery valuable-thia
