FARM PROVERBS.

Use diligence. industry, and proper inn
provement of time, to make farming pay
Do not keep more live stock on your
farm than you can keep well.
Sell when YOU can get a fair price, and
do not store for rats and spectators.
The more comfortable you can keep
your animals the more they will thrive.
A good COW is valuable machine; the
more food she properly digests, the great
er the profit.
A few roots daily to all the stock are as
welcome as apples to boys and girls.
Iron shoes on sleds last lifetime. They
are really cheaper in the end than the
wooden ones.
Replace the bars where you often pass,
by strong gates, and then wonder that you
didn't do so before.
Although, in draining land thoroughly
your purse may be drained. yet the full
crops chat follow will soon fill it again.
Alwayssgive the soil the first meal. If it
is well fed with manure, it will feed all
else-plants, animals and men.
A borrowed tool, if broken, should be
replaced by new one. A nice sense of
honor, in such matters, is much to be
commended.
Buy pals and tubs with brass hoops and
trimmings. They cost little more at
first, but last wonderfully.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1871-12-27

HOW A FARM MAY LOSE MONEY.

BY keeping no account of home opera
tions. Paying no attention to the maxim,
"A stitch in time saves nine," in regard to
the sowing of grain and planting of seed
at the proper season.
Leaving the reapers, ploughs, cultiva-
tors, etc, uncovered from the rain and
heat of the sun. More money is lost in
this way than most people are willing to
believe
Permitting broken implements to be
scattered over the farm until they are ire
parable. BY repairing broken implements
at the proper time many dollars may be
saved, proof of the assertion that time is
money.
Attending auction sales and purchasing
all kinds of trumpery, because, in the
words of the vender the articles are every
cheap
Allowing fences TO remain unrepaired
until strange cattle are found grazing in
the meadow, grain fields, or bruising the
fruit-trees.
Disbeleving the principle of a rotation of
crops before making single experiment.
Planting fruit trees with the exception
of having fruit, without giving the trees
half the attention required to make them
profitable.
Practising economy by depriving stock of
proper shelter during the winter, and
giving them unsound food, such as half
rotten and mouldy hay and fodder.
Keeping an innumerable tribe of rats on
the premises, and two or three lazy dogs
that eat up more in month than they are
worth in Il whole lifetime.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1871-12-27

How TO Cook VEGETABLES.-There
is one important objection which has often
been made, through ignorance, of the first
rule in cooking vegetables. 1t is observed
that meal from them is not satisfying.
have found it frequently happen that the
persons who thus objected did not know
even how to boil vegetable. The rule
is simple, but must never be forgotten.
Every kind of vegetable intended to be
served whole should, when put to boil, be
placed at once in boiling water; and this
applies especially to potatoes and vegeta-
bles from which The outer cover has been
removed Now it often happens that po-
tatoes, etc., are. to save time, placed in
cold water and left to boil gradually. It
is Just this which allows the nutritious mat
ter to escape, and renders the meal uDsat-
isfying. When, on the contrary, the wa
ter boils from the moment the vegetable
is immersed in it, the albumen is partially
coagulated near the surface, and serves
to retain the virtue of the vegetable. The
reverse is, of course, the rule for making
soup, or any dish from which the water
will not be drained. By placing the veg
etable in cold water, the albumen is slow
ly Dissolved, and actually mixes with the
water-a most necessary process for the
production of nutritious soup. 1t is to be
hoped that the poor, who have q spe-
cial need for the most their money can
produce, will learn, in whatever haste
they may be, not to boil all the albumen
from their potatoes, reserving for their
tables only the starchy matter. /.

A felon is not a pleasant visitor. AL
though this remark is capable of wide
Interpretation, its truth in many cases will
not be denied But reference is intended
more especially to the unpleasant felon
that takes up pdeition on the finger and
shows no intention of vacating premises
for which it pays no rent, and in fact a
rent is apt to insure its removal. Says the
Journal of health: ''An exchange says it
is sure cure to put some Goals into pot,
throw on these Goals a handful each Of
hops, rye flour and brown sugar, and hold
the affected part for fifteen minutes in the
steam and repeat it several times. A
more certain cure is to bore hole in a
pot-lid, stick the finger through and
let it stay there until the finger is
burnt off, and that finger will never have
felon more!" True enough, but the rem
edy is worse than the disease. The same
journal kindly adds, however, that 'there
is scientific cure for felon, always
safe: get physician to plunge his lancet
down to the bone. A natural felon is
bone thief; a physiological felon is boil
between the bone and the sinew. When
a boil is under the skin only it is painful
enough until it breaks;' but when it is
remembered that the sinew is as much
tougher than the skin as a beef hide is
tougher than paper, it is easy to see that
the pain of a boil under the sinew is more
terrible than one under the thin skin. The
educated surgeon, therefore, advises the
use of the lancet as above. The cause Of
felon is usually bruise on the finger
heavy enough to reach down to the bone
and to inflame it"

nation Of the company to get every
thing in complete readiness the COM
ing Autumn and Winter, and to CON-
mence building the road next Spring.
OF this, we believe the Directors for
this county are perfectly satisfied,
as, also, are such others of our citi-
zens as have given the subject dis
passionate attention.
This postponement will be a serious
disappointment to the people Of Ia
pa county along the contemplated
line. But, for this disappointment,
the company is not responsible, nor
are the Directors from this county.
Unless VIC except the Wee Presl-
dent, the company and all its officers
seem to have acted in good faith.
Though it may be questioned it our
Directors and ourselves are not cul-
pable in allowing ourselves to be-
lleve that a road OF the magnitude OF
this one, could be inauguratcd and
built il one year, We have all been
so eager tor the road that we have
placed reliance upon the most wild
statements, and somewhat chimerical
projects. But no one need despair.
The railroad is not dead yet, nor has
i, any ailment that tends to death.
Those of us who remain here another
year will undoubtedly realize our
highest homes.
