MeSsrs. GEO. A. PRINCE & Co.:
sms-In 1852 | purchased one Of your S Oc-
lAye Melodeons, and after using it q short time in
The United States, took ii with US on onr return 10
BANGKOK, Siam. The instrument was used dur
Ing the voyage out and kept in almost daily ser
viSo in Siam about fourteen years. We used il
IN public and social worship in both the native
and English services, singing schools and social
gatherings. II has been Of great service in
teaching music to the natives and enabling them
10 sing correctly. We have taken il on excur-
SiOns aud travels in the country, and 1t has serv-
cd to cheer our weary spirits and beguile many
. tedious hour. The instrument is still good,
and on our return again, will yet serve US or
others for many years. 1t gives me much pleas
are TO, recOmmend your instrument at home and
abroad.
There we're several MelOdeons Of other makers
brought into Siam while we were there, but none
eaualled yours in purity and volume of tone, or
stood the climate 50 well and kept in such perfect
tune. The climate of India is very trying to Or
Kans and Melodeons on account of the severity
Of the hot and rainy seasons. Your instruments
have stood the best Of any, and if they will stand
the climate Of India, all lovers Of music should
give them the preference every where.

MSSSrS. GEO. A. PRINCE s Co., Buffalo, N. Y:
Gsntlcnen-I have a Melodeon, Piano style,
No. l776, purchased Of you nearly twenty years
since. 1t possesses a rich mellow tone, not ex-
OSllod by the Instrument to-day. But, ns you
are aware, the bellows is of an uncomfortable
construction. Can this be changed to the mod
srn style-it being quite difficult for one not ac-
sustomed to it to make it ''go off,? II SO, what
will be the probable charge for doing it?
Now don't reply by advising me to buy a new
one, for | doubt if you can beat the old one.

Domestic Economy,

Boil CUsTAED AND FLoAr-Take one
quart of milk and sweeten with loaf
sugar, put it on to boil with some stick
cinnamon in it; beat the yolk of six eggs,
and while the milk is boiling stir in the
eggs slowly, have the whites whipped 20
a froth, and just as it is ready to take off
pour them in, and turn over through the
custard once, then quickly pour out to
cool Beat the whites of six or eight eggs
to froth, add four tablespoonful of pull
verified white sugar, beat smoothly in !;
when the custard is stone cold put the
float on in spOonfuls, and on each ball
thus made put currant or any other jelly
convenient. This is handsome dessert

Fowls i'm FicIds and Gardens

A writer in the Scottish Farmer gives
an interesting account of his experience
in pouitry-keeping, and the good service
they did him in Kidding the garden of va
rious insects. The birds with which he
commenced were the slver-penciled Ham
burgs, which, until they were taught bad
habits by the introduction of number of
barnyard fowls, showed little disposition
TO scratch or otherwise damage the flower
beds. His conviction is, that unless they
arr allowed the run of the garden in dis
prOportionate numbers, the service they
render very far outweighs any injury they
may do 10 seed or flower beds. In due
proportion, independently of the CONNER
cial profits of raising poultry for the market,
they are undoubtedly the farmers friend.
Ducks, which are the most industrious
and voracious devourers of insects, have
this advantage over their fcathered con-
geners, that they cannot scratch, and have
very limited powers of flight over fences
and other barriers into forbidden pre-
cincts

Green crops for soIIing Callie

at meeting Of the Farmers Club of

terestiag paper Of "Grcap Crops for

"oThe Importance of an abundance of

preciated by dairymen. But a small pOr-

E'To the stolk-drcedcr who is Obliged TO
keep some of his animals confined during
the summer, green feed is an absolute
necessity. Corn-fodder is extensively
grown, and is most excellent for our pur-
nose. With a clean rich soil It may be
sown broadcast at the rate of three bush,

weeds from growing so much, for the
reason that the ground will be pOrt
thoroughly shaded. COrn-fodder raised
in this way, can be cradled in swaths, anG
being bound up in small bundles anC
and placed in stacks, will dry nicely, ant
is splendid feed after frosts come, ant
will cure sufficiently to be put into tbt
NOV, and kept until winter. For young
colts, calves and lambs during the winter
such fodder Is exceedingly nutritious an,
almost invaluable. The seed can l.
drilled in, or covered with acultivatoT an.
rolled. Planting corn closely in drills
the safest way 10 get a crop for fodder
as it can then be cultivated, and | shoul
recommend this way unless the ground
very mellow and free from weeds. Til
disadvantage with corn for fodder is tbs
but one crop can be obtained, and th
season is far advanced before that one
ready. For this reason many farmer
think il does not pay, which is gre'
mistake. 1t should be grown for a lai
feeding green crop, TO increase the incon
of the dairy, and to keep up the conditio
of the young animals.

A correspondent of the Rural Ne1O
Yorker adopts mode of furrowing for
the drills by using two horses and a COM
mon pillow, the ground being first plowed
and narrowed in the ordinary manner.
The first furrow extends around the whole
field at the outside. For the next, the
near horse walks in the furrow, and the
team continues going around until The
centre is reached and the whole field fur
rowed. This operation leaves about
eighteen inches between the drills. The
weight of the plow alone will cause it to
sink about three inches, which is deep
enough. The corn is strewed along the
burrows by hand, at the rate of three
bushels per acre, and then covered by
narrowing. A one-horse cultivator, with
the side teeth removed, is passed between
the rows whom the corn is up, killing the
weed sand ridging the rows. The near
ness of the rows to each other would
doubtless give larger crops by this mode,
than when they are three feet apart.
