That irreverent journal, the Cincin-

Grant to withdraw our men-of-war that
have so long been keeping Baez in
power in San Domingo, in order to send
them to the Mexican coast to protect
our commerce against the outrages oil
the freebooters aud pirates who are car
rying on there with a high hand.
This call will doubtless be in vain.
There is money to be made in San DO
mingo while in Mexico nothing better
can be done than to protect the lives and

THE Charleston Courier remarks, that
off the Southern States could once more
be placed under constitutional govern

the trainers Of the Constitution under
which we lived and prospered for nearly
a century, with State and municipal
officers of ksown integrity and honesty
they would show such degree of recu-
peration from the effects of the late civil
struggle as would amaze the world.
That is true, but it is not the intention
of the Radical party to allow good gov
eminent in the South. The process OF
legalized robbery is to continue, though
the three hundred millions, the product
of the cotton crop of the South, regu-
lates the balance of exchange with Eu-
rope. M

Now is the time to make maple syrup
and sugar, and, therefore, a few words
on the subject will not be amiss.
Wooden taps and buckets are prefera-
BILE to tin ones in the drawing of sap,
for the reason that the latter will rust
and darken the sap. The more clean
illness and care that is exercised IN
sugar-making, as in everything else,
the more profitable and better will be
the sugar Strain the sap into a large
copper pan, and when it is well boiled
but still thin, strain through clean
cloth again into clean butter tirklns
which have been scalded, and let It
stand day. Of course, should there
be any more sap on hand, the pan
could be used after the first was out to
boil it in. The second day, after the
pan is carefully washed ont, pour the
syrup boiled first INTO it, and boil 1t
down almost to grained sugar, lnces-
sanity stirring and skimming it during
the whole period of boiling, Then
pour into the firkins and set aside until
the warm days of May. Then place
into barrel or tirkin with three
or four augur holes, and set 1T
upon tub to drain. Each morn
ing, for three weeks, lay clean
linen clothes on the top OF the sugar,
pressing tightly down, 50 that nota par
ticle will be left uncovered. About a
gallon of syrup will, at the end of that
time, have drained from fifty pounds
of sugar, and the sugar itself will be of
high quality and Of a crystalline
whiteness. To make the syrup into
cakes the sap is boiled to a greater con-
sistency than for grained sugar, and
must be stirred constantly New milk
is used by some manufacturers to
whiten the sugar Their plan is, after
the syrup is put on to boil a second
time, lust when it has reached the boil
ing point, to turn in large coffee cup
of new milk. A thick scum will soon
rise to the top, and this is strained OH
at once, for if left to boil it will darken
rather than whiten the sugar. Many
/ farmers may have different appliances
than those mentioned for the making
/ of their sugar and syrup, which may be
more convenient and handy to them,
/ and to these it may be said that the
/ great desi9cr0tum in sugar making Is
/ cleanliness. The sap should be strain
ed and the syrup should be strained
and no sediment allowed to enter into
4 the process of manufacture.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Early Rose Potatoes stand at the Head
OF he List. AZ &

The following, from the last Country
Gentlemen, is in accordance with the
universal testimony of all potato
growers who have tested the different
varieties now cultivated
The Dist Of May last, after planting
corn, / had about an acre OF ground
that was reserved for the cabbage plot,
a piece on which potatoes were grown
the year previous; and, having few
small potatoes of the Early Rose IN the
cellar after the spring sales and plant
ing were over, that | considered toe
small for any purpose except to feed
the pigs, concluded to try an expert
ment with them. I therefore drew
few light burrows about three inches
deep across the patch, dropped the pc.
tatoes one in a place, two and half
feet apart, in the furrows, then covered
them with the pillow; they were twice
cultivated and howed with but little ex-
pense, as the ground was warm when
planted, aud June was the month of
severe drought with us in this section.
july gave us more ram, while IN Au-
gust we were abundantly supplied
with copious showers, and the rest OF
the season the rams were timely and
sufficient for the wants OF growing
crops. The first of October the piece
of about one quarter Of an acre was
dug the yield, at the rate of over 300
! bushels per acre, was the largest grown
on the farm the past year the pota-
toes were free from rot, and are now at
this writing sound and firm, as the
| Early Rose has always been a good po-
tato to keep in my cellar. After three
years experimenting with the Early
Rose as to yield and quality FOR the
table, both as an early potato, also as
late keeper and freedom from rot, t
have no hesitancy IN placing 1t at the
head Of the list of potatoes. Other
sorts may excel it in some one particll-
I lar, but | have found none yet that !
would give up the Early Rose for, al
though | planted quite a number of
new sorts last spring that We're repre-
scented to be better than they were, in
every instance they have failed to come
up to Early Rose with me, either in
I quality for the table, OF IN yield OF

HOOd.Winking the UhlanS.

An amusing incident occurred IN a
small form house near Bapaume when
the Uhlans made their first appearance
in the neighborhood. 4 fine fat pig
formed part of the farmers stock, and
its safety created considerable anxiety
to both the farmer and his wife. On
the suggestion of the latter the pig was
instantly slaughtered and dressed.
This operation was scarcely concluded
when the Chlans near approach was
announced. Without loss of time
madame placed IA table in the center OF
their room, or house-place, on which
she directed her husband to place the
carcass of the pig, over which she i'm
mediately threw clean sheet. Candles
wereinstantly lighted and placed around
the table, and a chopcAe ordente was
improvised. ''lf the Uhlans GENE,
YOU will say am dead; and so whis-
pering she withdrew. The tread OF
horses came up to the door the farm
er and the other members of his family
immediately knelt around the dead
body. The Uhlans, opening the door,
entered the house The leader halted
and exclaimed, "Morto p" "Oui,
oui," said the mourning husband " il
is my wife who is dead. The Uhlans
withdrew, the wife came from her hid
ind place, and the pig was not eaten
by the Prussians.

Early Chickens.

The season of the year has now fully
arrived when breeders ought to have
their stock mated and placed in their
breeding pens, and whenever hen
shows signs of incubation, no time
should be lost in placing eggs under
her. The early Matched chicken has
many advantages over those of lower
birth it should be borne IN mind that
it is in early chickenhood the frame is
made that will hereafter place it IN the
rank of the large birds OF its breed.
And although feeding has much to do
in the production of size and maturity,
other things being equal, the early
chicken is sure to be the best. 1t be-
hooves breeders, then, who wish to
excel in this respect, to produce early
chickens, although at the cost OF con
siderable more care and attention than
is necessary in the raising OF those at
later period in the season.-Poutf1V

The Winter Of 1s71-12.
From the Chicago Post.


Nature indulges in strange climatic
freaks, at irregular, but somewhat well
defined, intervals. All of the past year
may be classed rs exceptional. First,
a summer hotter than the average OF a
century. followed by winter III which
the polar air currents sepn to have
shifted places with the tropics The
snow line, abandoning ancient do
minion, has moved five hundred miles
to the south, SO that 5 northern mar
gin has actually imp red against its
old southern boundary, while all the
territory northward has been left naked
and bare of its usual winter covering.
All the region extending from Green
Bay north, and westward, covering the
vast pineries of the Upper Wolf and
ST. Croix rivers in Wisconsin, and
stretching around Lake Superior to
Pembina and the Saskatchewan, to an
unknown distance north, has been
snowless, or 50 little has fallen as to
seriously inconvenience numbering OPP
erations. 1t is estimated by persons
conversant with the subject, that less
than two-thirds OF the usual logs have
been banked in the pine country, and
that the supply of lumber will thus be
very seriously diminished. Most OF
the camps have been broken up, the
men and teams discharged, and the
sIogger's lament is heard in these
grand old woods, piping higher than
the familiar whistle OF old Boreas.
Fears are naturally entertained thatthe
absence OF snow will deprive the lum-
Der interests of the usual spring fresh
cts, and that what has actually been
cut at so much expense and labor, may
remain a fixture during the coming
season. Very heavy rains can only Sc
cure a harvesting of the log crop. a
failure in this respect would only add
fresh misfortunes to great and lmpor-
tant interests.
Lake Superior, the halfway hating
ground between Arctic and troplc
climes, seems to have, for once, aban-
doned its office of refrigerator and the
winter zone has not only Tapped over,
but actually gone over to the trop-
ical, leaving half of the debatable
temperate warmest on It's northern
side What results will follow when
the order is broken by the advancing
season, can only be conjectured. 1t
would not be very surprising II the
breakup were followed by unusual at
mospheric phenomena, The chief use
of Superior, in the economy of western
seasons, is as playground for TEN
pests. 1t is here that heat and cold al
ternately meet and dispute for the mas
terry. 1t tempers the extremes, warm
ing the polar and cooling the torrid an
currents bat for that kindly office
much of the western country would be
scarcely habitable.

u,x In Manage spring Pigs.

In answer to this question, put by
one of it's contributors, the American
Apriculturist has the following: tide
bends on the breed, the food mt COM
mand, the conSeniences for feeding,
the probable price for pork next fall,
and the price year hence. We should
premise, however, that in any case the
pigs should have all they will eat of
some kind of food. The only differ
ence to be made between growing
pigs and fattening pigs is IN the char
acter of the food A fattening pig re-
ouires rich, concentrated food; a grow
ing pig more bulky and less nutritious
food but in either case, the pig, to do
we'll, must have all it will eat. If you
have small boned, we'll bed pig,
such as grade Essex or Berkshire
or Suffolk, we think it would be far
more profitable rs a rule to fatten
spring pigs than TO winter them over
Let them have the run of a clover pas
ture. all the milk and slop from the
house, and all the corn and other gram
in water twenty-four hours before feed
ing. II well bred, such treatment
should give Won pigs that will dress 300
pounds by the first of December On
the other hand, if you have a coarse,
large-boned breed of pigs, the better
plan Will be to winter them over, IN
