Horace Greeley of the N. Y. 2ri-
J,u.e declares that he will not even be
dragged or driven into premature
discussion of the merits Of Presidential
candidates. This is perfectly proper
on his part, as he has himself been
nominated for the office of President
by some of his friends Whether the
nomination is made in good faith or
not, Or just to kill off Grant, time will
tell. We don't believe that Greeley,
knowingly, will suffer himself or his
name to be used just to rake the
chestnuts from the fire, by sore head
ed, disatfected, anti-Grant Republi-
cans. Some rich Developments are
yet to be made between these two
wings jim the Radical party, ere the
Presidential canvass of 1872 is over.

The Treatment of Mortar

Much of the mortar used in buildings

the purpose, and much of that which is
good is prepared by the workmen me
chemically, according to a given recipe
and not because he understands the rea
! sons which make certain proportions OF
SIND and lime endure better than Others.
The following practical lines by Mr.. A. c.
Smeaton, the author of valuable work
on building, not only afford instruction
regarding the preparation of mortar, but
give the reasons why it should be treated
in the manner described:
"When mortar is to be used in a situa-
ton where it will dry quickly, it should
be made with as little water as possible
but it is better that the mortar should dry
gradually and slowly, as it then becomes
more indurated. It is stated by some
writer's that mortar is injured by keeping,
and under one condition, exposure to the
air, it is; but if excluded from the air, it
is rather benefited than injured. Pliny
states that the Roman builders were pro-
hibited hy law from using a mortar that
was less thaa three years old; ANA attri-
butes the stability of all their large build.

mortar is used it should he well beaten up

TO Dry ant CUOk Corn.

To dry corn for winter use is not al
ways an easy matter when done in the or
binary way; but it is so good dish when
properly cooked, and comes in such good
play during the winter and spring months.
when the good housewife is often puzzled
what to cook, that all should have supply
and for those who have no better fixtures
for drying, would recommend the hot
bed. Place the parboiled corn, cut from
the cobs, on boards, or sheets In the hot
bed, or other frame, and put on the sash,
raising them couple of inches at each end,
the sun shining in will make it SO hot that
the corn will dry perfectly in one day
and the heat will be SO great that not fly

ready TO take advantage of the first bit OF

it in a tin or other vessel with a lid, pour
on enough hot water to cover well, set or

ing point: but should not boil; leave or
three or four hours, then take half cup OF

The Use of Soda aud Saleratus .

! have seen housckeepers who seem to
be ignorant Of the effect of soda upon the
materials used in cooking. They seem t,
have an idea that soda alone has a ten.
dcncy to make anything rise. Hence they
used it Unfortunately in bread, biscuit
or cakc. Years ago l knew an old lady
who had this idea, and it was impossible
to convince her to the contrary. When
ever she was afraid that the bread would
not be light enough, she would add a
Quantity of saleratus. Her bresd was
often as yellow as saffron and not fit to
cat. l often see yellow pie crust, espec-
tally upon chicken and meat pies plainly
show ing that soda has been used. Soda
or saleratus should never be used unless
the bread or pastry is sour, or unless YOU
add to the flour, or to the dry soda, before
mixing, proportionate quantity of acid
such as cream OF tartar. If you add soda
alone to perfectly sweet material it has
no more effect in making it rise than
would so much salt It will, however,
affect the flavor and color of the material.
When using soda, be careful to use only
enough to nc,,traIizc the acid. Some per
sons consider the use of soda at all in
cooking, as positively injurious. They
labor under mistake, l think. Where
the aI:al and acid are properly pronor
toned ami come together in the moist
material, they completely rcutralizc each
other and form a compound-ltochelle
salt-the presence OF which in small
quantities is not pcrccptible, nor is it con
s d red unwholcsome. When too much
soda has been used in bread or biscuit, t
is readily manifested by the color. In
cookies or sponge cake, it is not so easily
detected, as tho yellow tinge may be sup
posed to be due to the eggs used. ] am
not thus deceived. The color given to
cakes and cookies by eggs is a bright, rich,
golden yellow, while that from the use OF
TOO much soda is a dull, smutty, heavy.
looking yellow. There are those who con
