HON. JASPER PACKARD.

The name of this gentlemen is al
the head Of our columns as the Re-
publican candidate for Congress for
the eleventh district. His uaani
nous nomination by the convention
held at Wana.ah, reflects credit up
on the party, and honor upon the
chosen man. Gen Packard has
faithfully served one term, and it
was felt by many, that it was no
more than fair that he should be re-
tanned FOR another term. Other
candidates, yielding OF once to the
prevailing opinions, withdrew their
names as soon as presented, and
those w1o supported them. transfer
red their strength TO the successful
candidate. There are none but al
miro the action Of these gentlemen
In this matter. We hope that this
spirit or Cancellation end union may
pervade sill the proceedings Of this
district, and unite Republicans firm
ly In their work. We are now ready
for the coming strife. our leader
has been selected and our flag raised.
Let every ms n who feels an in
terest in the abiding welfare of this
Rer ublic. and especially Of his
own district and neighborhood.
rally and put forth his u:m ost
strength, that the present well reg
ulated administration at Washington
may continue; and the corrupt ad
ministration Of CIR county affairs
be replaced by an administratio on
purer and stronger in every respect.

Feed Hay Carefully.

THERE are hundreds of tons of hay lost
every winter among farmers by careless
feeding, We have been astonished some
times when witnessing the eamount wasted
around barnyards and stacks, This waste
is entirely unnecessary, and if it was made
the rule of every farmer never TO feed any
kind of stock upon the ground, thousands
of dollars might be saved annually. There
are times, to be sure, when the earth is
frozen dry and clean, but ii racks are moi
provided, hIll one half of the time the hay
viii be dealt out either in wet snow. OF
mud, and good portion lost.
Portable racks should be used around
staeks.and their location changed every
few days the racks should be so CON
structed that the stock can get at, their
feed handily, and at the same time made
so that the hay cannot be pulled out and
trampled under foot For cattle, a good
rack may be made with common rough
boards and few pieces of scantling.
Make them four or tivs feet wide. ten OF
twelve feet long, and two feet deep; have
four by four inch scantling in the corners,
and also in the center of the ENDS, run
ring up twelve or fifteen inches above
the top OF the rack; TO the latter nail in q
center partition lengthwise; thus you

Caring for Stock.

A farmers first care is to his family the
second should be the domestic animals.
"Be thou diligent to know the state of thy
flocks, and look well to thy herds" 1t
will not do to leave them to the care of
hired men. Washington made it a rule to
visit his stables every morning, and put
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 he made it rule, every night in
winter, to take lantern and visit his
stable at nine o'clock, to see that every
animal was comfortable. He has this year
sold animals at $1,000 apiece.
There are very few ordinary farm men
that are fit 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 a
curry.comb. If man kicks COW dis.

keep quite number of thoroughbred
pigs and they are as gentle rs lambs. But
most men have been so 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 a club. And

Soups.

A 6ooD 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
Is cents, will make an abundant soup for
a family of half dozen persons twice
The bone should be put to soak in cold
water, allowing full quart for every
pound of meat, and by very gradual heat
come to 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. II
vegetables are desired they should be
neatly sliced, and the soup strained finally
through 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.

1T is bad policy tc move team out of
