Tanning Sheep Skins.

For mats take two long wooded
skins, make a strong suds, using
hot water, when it is cold wash the
skins in it, carefully squeezing them
between the hands to get the dirt
out of the wool; then wash the soap
out with clean water. Now dissolve
alum and water, each half a pound,
with little hot water, which put in
a tub of cold water sufficient to COW
er the skins, and let them soak in it
over night, or twelve hours, then
hang over a pail to drain. When
they are well drained spread or
stretch carefully over board to
dry. When little damp, have one
ounce each of saltpeter and alum,
pulverized, and sprinkle the flesh
side Of each skin, rubbing it well,
then lay the flesh sides together,
and hang in the shade for two or
three days, turning the under skin
uppermost every day until perfectly
dry. Then scrapc the flesh side
with blunt knife, to remove any
remaining scraps Of flesh, trim off
projecting points, and rub the flesh
side with pumice or rotten stone,
and with the hands, they will be
very white and beautiful, fit for a
door OF carriage. They also make
good mitt ms. Lamb skins Tor
sheep skins if the wool be trimmed
off evenly to about one-half or three
fourths of an inch long, make most
beautiful warm mittens for ladies
or gentlemen.-G. o. Runolers, IN

THE .4Hu Cu!ifeg~i~ says: The
prtces of the fine, varieties of table
grapes have fallen so much this
year that the fine has come for the
production of raisins with profit,
aud a number of small experiments
have been made with decided sue
cess. The best California raisins
we have seen, so far, were made of
the Alexandrian Muscat grape, by
George Osborn, of St Helena, who
dipped his grapes in lye to kill the
insects that might be upon them,
and then dried them in the sun,
taking them in at night. He tor nd
that the expense Of drying and pack
ing was five and Il half cents per
pound. AT that rate and at the
present price of the Muscat grapes
and imported raisins, there would
be profit in the production of the
domestic article. Although the
season is far advanced, those grape
growers who still have suitable
grapes on hand should dry few,
for in 1871 California will have to
begin the making of raisins on q
considerable scale. We do not
hear anything now Of the Fiherza
gos or White Malaga raisins, about
which much was said some years
ago, but the Rose of Perue has beer
uscd on 4 small scale with tolrrahlt
satisfaction.

Stock Feeding Compared With
Grain Raising.

In the early agricultural history
of this country, and before the Mis-
sissippi Valley became the great
producing section, there was more
of system of mixed husbandry
prevailing than at present. Each
farmer raised little surplus wheat,
few surplus hogs, and annually
fattened for market few head of
cattle.
Under this system there was no
division of our producing area in
to sections, each making speciality
Of producing grain, or stock as the
case may be. But with the inau-
gnration of the system Of husbandry
now practiced in the West and with
the settlement of the Northwestern
States and Territories, together with
the introduction of agricultural ma
chincry, the farmers on the prairies
of Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin
began to devote their attention ex-
clusively to wheat raising. Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois to consider
able extent began to make similar
speciality of feeding stock for the
great Eastern markets. The de-
mand for cattle for city slaughtering,
and for packed and cured meats for
shipment grew with great rapidity,
and much faster than the demand
for breadstutfs.
This resulted from the fact that
as Europe began to look more and
more to this country for a large
proportion of its supplies of meats
and breadstuffs, competitor in the
production of cereals rapidly devel-
oped in the rich interyales of the
Danube and the vast steppes of
Southern Russia, while no section
Of Europe entered the lists in com
petition with us in the rearing and
iattcning Of hogs and cattle. We
therefore find that while the price
of wheat in the bins Of our farmers
depends entirely upon the condition
Of the crop in the producing sec
tons of Europe that we have named,
the prices Of marketable stock have
never been subject to any such in
fluences. The United States is to-
day the practical meat market Of the
world. The stock raising branch
of American agricultural industry
is the best paying and by far the
most reliable of all branches, except
perhaps, the dairy business, and
this is confined to the Eastern and
Middle States. We have not time
or space in the present article to
discuss fully the reasons why the
cattle and hog raising branch of
farming is not only the most profit
able now, but also the causes which
conspire to give the fact permanan-
cy and reliability. In another arti-
Gle we shall speak at some length
Of the development of stock raising
industry in the great ranges of the
Southwest, and its probable infu-
ence upon the general market

Carriages for Farmers.

Every farmer who owns fifty acres
of land ought to own a carriage.
This most important appendage to
a farmer and his family is generally
the last luxury the old worn-out
farmer INDUCES in, few years be-
fore he dies. He buys the most
improved farm implements, the fin
est Cotswolds, the pure Chester
Whites, and thoroughbred Short
Horns; but the old lumber-wagon
and the faithful old pillow horses are
good enough to go to church.
Farmers suppose they will be
called proud or stylish if they in
duloe in comfortable ride, and
almost feel ashamed if they own
anything better than a spring-wa-
gon. Shame on such pride! The
farmers family has q right to the
very best conveyance that can be
bought. 1t need not be the most
grand or costly, such as would cause
his poorer neighbors to stare at,
or envy him, but well built and
large enough, if possible, to carry
the whole family. In few large
families two may be necessary, but
if some of the young people are
grown up, the boys will need a good
buggy besides the family carriage.
Don't make two or three of the
older children walk several miles
on warm summer day, to and from
church, or depend upon it, the boys
will soon prefer going to see neigh
Dor Somebody's boys, and the girls
will buy or borrow novels, and find
cool place to read, while pa and
ma and the children are at church
and Sabbath school.
Nothing but sickness should
prevent the whole family from at
tending church, and the habit
formed in childhood will do more
towards making Christian men and
women of them, than daily precept
without example. Heavens choic-
est blessing must descend upon
those who love the gates of Zion.
a comfortable conveyance will
prove a powerful incentive to pune
tuality. If living several miles
from church, the easy going chris
tan can find ready excuse for re-
naming at home. 1t is too rainy,
too muddy, too hot, too dusty to ride
in wagon, and with this sinful ex-
cuse, he curls down and sleeps
away the precious hours of the holy
day.
Wife, having no incentive for
hurry, chores around till ten o'clock,
then sits down, dull and languid,
wishing the long, still day was done.
She has been at home for weeks,
perhaps months, and if she could
only take the children and 90 to
church, it would do her good a
week to come. She has ridden in
the wagon, jolting along with
babe in her arms, and two or three
little ones sheltering around her,
while she held large umbrella to
ward off the hot sun; but of late,
husband seldom takes the wagon,
and she can go on foot or remain at
home. With no prospect of fire.
quently meeting with Christian
brethren and sisters, she loses
ground and feels unworthy a place
in the church. Her name is but a
stumbling block to the faithful
Christian Farmers Wife, in Ru-
raj New Yorker.

TEACHING HORSES TO WALK
For every day use, the most eco
nomical gait for horse is fast
walk; and yet not half the thought
is given to this essential that there
is to other things that secure to a
horse a name rather than intrinsic
value. Colts can be taught to walk
fast by following them for half a
day together (somc one leading)
with small switch, starting them
when inclined to go slow, into a
quicker pace. After they are har-
messed, keep fast walking in mind,
and when on level ground, or going
up hill with light load, urge
them to their utmost until four
miles an hour becomes habit

The St. Louis Journal Of ca

The St. Louis Jo,vnol Of Com
merce says:-The Little Rock Re
publicua informs us that a few miles
below town there is a crop Of rice
which bids fair to turn off us much
to the acre as many rice plantations
of South Carolina. This rice, we
are told, stands from four to five
feet high, and the heads are well
filled with plump, fine grains. 1t is
supposed that there will be a yield
Of from fifty to sixty bushels to the
acre. This is something new fol
this State, but we know of no reason
why it cannot be as successfully
raised here upon our swampy land,
as upon the the rich lands OF
Georgia and South Carolina. We
would suggest to our planters that
they try the experiment. 1t is
necessary that the crops of the
South be diversified, and the rails
ing of rice will pay.

A German professor says that il
any portion of a vegetable be boiled
in pure distilled or rain water, and
another in water in which n little
salt has been added, a decided diff:
ference is perceptible in the tender
ness of the two. Vegetables boiled
in pure water are vastly inferior in
flavor. This inferiority may go so
far, in the case Ct onions, that they
are almost entirely destitute Of eth
er taste or odor; though wher cook
ed in salt water, in addition to the
pleasant salt taste, there is a pecu-
liar sweetness and strong aroma.
They also contain more soluble
matter than when cooked in pure
water. Water which contains one
twentieth Of its weight in salt is far
better for cooking vegetables than
pure water, because the salt binders
the solution and evaporation of the
soluble and tIayoring principles OF
vegetables.

CIDER.-Heorth and Home saws
the best way to keep new cider
sweet is, after the fermentation has
ceased, to rack the cider off into
clean barrels, and keep them full
and in a cool place. Cider cannot
well be kept upon draught and re-
main sweet unless used up very
rapidly. A partly-filled barrel has a
large surface of the liquid exposed
to the air, and it will sour or be-
come "hard' in short tire. The
best way is to bottle the cider.

The Massachusetts Woughmon
thinks the price of cheese must rise.
1t says the product Of this country
will fall short on account of the
drouth, and the product of England
is probably at least third below
the average for the same reason,
and that involves a deficiency of
something like 10000, 900 of pounds
there, while the vast armies of nom
producers, and great consumers on
the continent will cat up oil that
can be made there. We see no
reason, therefore, why our ship
monts should not command advanc-
ed prices.
