FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


To PICKLE Onions. They should be
chosen about the size of n marble-the
white skinned sort are the best. Pre-
pare a brine, then put them into it hot !;
let them remain n day or two; then
drain them, and when quite dry, put
into clean, dry jars, and cover them
with hot pickle, in every quart of
which has been stepped one ounce each
of horse radish sliced, black pepper,
alspice and salt, with or without one
ounce of mustard seed.
NOTE In all pickles the vinegar
should always be two inches or more
above the vegetables as it is sure to
shrink, and if the vegetables are not
thoroughly immersed in pickle, they
will not keep.
TOMATO PICKLE. Pickles are made
from the green fruit, in the same way
as you make cucumbers or other pick
les. The ripe fruit may likewise be
picked, and some prefer it. 1t is
doubtless one of the most wholesome,
or, allowing that pickles are unhealthy,
it is the least unwholesome.
To PICKLE CABBAGE. Quarter the

parts in keg; sprinkle on them a good
quantity of salt, and let it remain on
them five or six days. To gallon of
vinegar put an ounce of mace, one of
pepper-corns and cinnamon. Cloves
and allspice may be added, but they
darken the color of the cabbage Heat
the vinegar scalding hot, and add lit
tie alum, and turn it while hot upon
the cabbage-the salt remaining. 1t is
necessary to turn the vinegar from the
cabbage several times, and scalding it,
them tender.
To PICKLE PEACHES. Take two gal
Ions of vinegar and put it IN one quart
of well made mustard take the cloves
of large head of garlic, split and add
them, with some ginger root sliced
thin; then take peaches at their full
growth, but before they are ripe, lay
them in brine that will bear an egg for
strength; let them remain week or
two, or three, then take them out, wipe
them, and put them into the above
pickle, which must be previously boil
ed. They Will be fit to eat III four
months.
70 PICKLE GREEN PEPPERS Choose
those that are half ripe; extract the
core and seeds by making small hole
at the top and onother at the bottom
of the pepper; simmer the peppers for
half day in salt and water, over
moderate fire; stir them often, that
those at the bottom may not burn.
Leave them over night to cool, and the
next morning lay them gently into
jar, sprinkle small quantity of mus
tard over them, and ill the jar with

An exchange says: Baron Ockel, in
Frankenfelde, made comparative ex-
pertinent with Ayrshires and Holland
ers; the average weight of the Ayr
shires being SOC pounds, and that of
the Hollanders l,0l6 pounds. The ex-
pertinent showed that the Ayrshire
consumed $40 pounds of hay for
every 100 pounds of live weight, while
the Hollanders consumed 2 $40 only.
OF the amount of food consumed,
1-60th of their live weight only was re-
quired to keep Hollenders in their nor
nal state, while it required l-50th Of
their live weight, III food of hay equiv
alents, to keep Ayrshires in their nor
nal condition. After this experiment
Ockel made another, with four Hol-
land cows, the two heaviest of which
weighed 2, ll2 pounds, on the l4th of
June, and the tighter ones |, 537pounds.
He placed them IN two groups-the
heavy ones forming one group and the
light ones forming the other-and con-
tinued the experiment during rs days.
The food was correctly weighed to each
when fed and if 1t was not all con-
Sumed, what remained was weighed and
deducted from the amount Of which it
first formed part. Their live weight
remained unchanged during the ex-
pertinent, the result of which is shown
in the following table;

This same experiment shows that

ones, and at the same time yield a
greater return for it,

leading cattle man st Hohenheim

periments, with a great variety of breeds
of cattle, and in his last work on this

SUGAR FROM SWEET PoTAToEs.-The report
of the Department of Agriculture for February
contains an item on one new branch Of industry
which will doubtless be extensively engaged in
throughout some portions Of tho Southern States.
It Ia in reference to the manufacture of syrup
from sweet potatoes Of the yam variety. The
average product is said to be over two gallons
of syrup 10 every bushel of sweet potatoes, and
that the residuunl, after the juice has been ex-
tracted, is a valuable edible for either man or
beast. AS there are large and extensive tracts
of barren "piney woods" lands throughout Ar
kansas and Georgia, and other Southern States,
which are almost worthless for any purpose,
except that they appear to be peculiarly adapt
ed to the growth of the sweet potato, the devel.
opment Of this new branch Of industry will
prove God-send to those hitherto barren and
unproductive regions Ifs man with one mule
can cultivate fifteen acres in potatoes, and the
yield will exceed on all average two hundred
bushels to the acre, we have as the result of one
mans labor six thousand gallons of syrup,
which is probably worth not less than fifty
cents per gallon, as the syrup is said to surpass
that of the beet in delicacy of favor. 1t is
stated in the report above referred to that the
yield of syrup from sweet potatoes is much
more abundant than from beets, and, such being
the case, there can be no reason why the sugar
product from the same source should not be
proportionately greater.

Card Playing.

Harry Grayson sat by his father one evening,
in their pleasant library, in deep study His
father noticed that he was quite silent, and at
last said, "What are you studying about,
Harry?"
"Why, father, I was wondering what the
reason could be that you don't like to have US
children play cards. was at DR.. Halls the
other evening, and his children can all play
them, and even take hand, as they say, with
the older people. was sure that you must
have some good reason, and yet l can't see
that DR.. Halls children are any worse than we
are"
"I am perfectly willing to tell you, Harry,
and am glad you asked me. But must first
tell you little story: =,
"When was a small boy, went 10 school
with nv older sister one day, and while there
the girl who sat on the seat with her gave Inc q
pretty card to play with. l was quite pleased
with the picture of the funny looking man and
the red spots on the card, and when l went
home showed it to my mother, as such a
pretty paper Even now / seem to see the
look of surprise and distress that ceTne over her

pick it up and put it into the fire. 'Whatp

II obeyed my mother, and then sho took me
on her lap and told me the use of cards that
people whe played with them for mere fun, and
to pass away the time, soon became very fond
of playing cards for money. Then thoy would
bet and lose their bets, and at last put up, as
stake, their farms and houses, and all that they
had and finally they would forget all good
things that they had ever learned, and would
drink liquor to drive away all remembrance OF
their losses from their minds. Then, after
while, they would become very POOR and wick

"Her instruction made q deep impression
upon my mind. When I saw boys and girls
and older people playing cards, thought
about Satan laughing in his sleeve at them. /

NARRow.GAusE.-The Amr;can Rc;l1ay
Nmes says: A civil engineer in Texas advo-
Gates the construction of narrow-gauge rail-
ways with wooden rails, as adapted to thinly
populated districts in Texas, where traffic is
light, and it Is utterly impossible to get money
to construct ordinary roads. Charters have
been obtained for two such roads, and they are
likely to be built soon. A railway. thirty
inches wide and eleven miles long, is to be
built in Green county, Tenn, at cost Of $780,
600. The rails are Of wood, and are to be
stripped with iron. This is getting the cost of
railways down to pretty low figure. AS the
construction of these narrow-gauge lines has
got to be accepted as "6xed fact" in all the
States, it would be we'll for the different Legis-
latures to pass laws designating the width. 80
that the narrow-guage system shall beidentical
throughout. The Railway Committee of the
Massachusetts, Legislature has recommended a
gauge of three feet, and doubtless this will re-
ceive the legislative sanction. tits to behoped
that other States will conform with this move
ment. The best engineering authorities in this
country and in Europe are in favor of three
feet for the narrow-guage railway system.

A NEW PLAauE-A new plague has come.
It may not be SO virulent or fatal as the small
pox, but it is far more general-it is the tim
box squejunk. The boys have it. The first
signs Of it are a tin box and piece of string.
a hole is bored in the bottom of the box, the
string put through it, and knot tied at one
end to prevent it going through completely.
The string is rosined, and then the trouble
commences. The cord is drawn quickly through
the hand and the result is noise resembling,
in some cases, dog undergoing tortures, and
in Others the scream of an enraged elephant.
One small boy, in good health, has been known
to keep several children crying in neig ghbor-
hood for hours. When three or four of these
internal machines are kept going at the same
time, the effect is indescribable. Of all the
horrible toys ever invented to annoy grown
people, this is the worst.
