GrAnt,S BOYS.

The sprightly "local" of the Oil City
Derrick thus describes scene which took
place at Housewife, Pa, when President
Grant passed there the other day.
There the crowd was immense. Deco
ration had been attempted at the depot,
and laundering cheers greeted the Presi-
dents appearance. Here as at Petroleum
Center, the schools were out to greet the
Chief Magistrate. On fact, all along the
route the boys and girls, the future joint
rulers of the country, seemed to enter into
the ovations with even more zeal than the
"big folks.n)
Considerable laborious Misunderstanding oc-
cured here. The most touching of all
the greetings at Housewife came from the
"vets.' An old soldier, his face shining
with honest exultation at the popular
honors paid to his old commander, cried
out:
General, this is better than Pittsburg
Landing"
"Yes,n replied the General, "but it is
harder to meet such friends properly than
it was to meet those at Pittsburg Landing"
We envy not the heart of the man who
could see, unmoved, those old soldiers
press forward to greet the General, and
hold up their mutilated limbs as better
evidence of devotion than any words can
speak.
One poor fellow lifted a streaming face

Grant understood it. One after another
told where he got his "mustering-out clip"
from the Johnies.
zone of your boys, General said an
old man, leading forward a crippled son,
who was modest as he had been brave,
and who would not have spoken of his
services himself even to his general. The
old man seemed proud to share the honor
of paternity of such son with the chief
who had led him to battle and victory.
One old man, lifting up a child, said:
General, | shook hands with old jack
son, and L want my grandson to shake
hands with the second Jackson !"
The General smiled and shook the tiny
hand; it was noticeable that he always
smiled when he met children.
Irreverent Young America is prevalent
at Housewife, as everywhere else. One
young g0n1iR climbed up in the car, like
a young monkey, and peered in through
the window where General Grant sat read
ing; then he shouted to the little rashcal-
lions below

GREEN TOMATO PICKLES." f. Il. ID. y
wishes TO know how to make green tomato
pickles keep through the winter.
The following is number one recipe,
and 1 think will not fail to give satisfac.
ton. 1t is a good plan to make these
pickles after the first frost, when you will
find many of the green tomatoes unin-
jured, in consequence of having been pro-
tected by the leaves and vines. If tomato
plants are pulled up by the roots before
frost comes, and hung over poles in an
airy place in the cellar, they will continue
to ripen for long time.
Take one peck of green tomatoes, and
one dozen of white onions; slice all thin
and sprinkle with salt. Let them stand
over night, then drain well in a colander
and add the following spices One box OF
mustard one ounce and a half of black
pepper (ground) J; one ounce of whole
cloves one ounce of yellow mustard seed
and one ounce of allspice. Put in your
kettle layer of spices and tomatoes alter
nately; cover with best cider vinegar, and
let all boil together for twenty minutes
These pickles are ready for use immedi-
ately.

How TO GET RID OF STUMPs.-The fol-
lowing is recommended by one who has
tried it, as the "speediest, safest and surest
way to get rid of stumps of any and all
kinds ~
If you have many acres of clear stumps
get one barrel of black machine oil; then
take an inch and a quarter auger, and bore
four holes in the largest stumps, letting
fOrty-five degrees. Bore eight inches deep.
Then fill the hole three-fourths full of oil,
and plug up tight Pour, also, one-third
of pint on top, in the centre of foot cir
Gle, and let it spread WELL When done
preparing, or say in five days, kindle your
fires on top Of the stumps.

FARM AND HOME.
Preserving Sweet Potatoes,

DELAWARE, IND, Sept. :, 1S71.-As
there is a large crop of sweet potatoes this
year, and if the same is rushed into mark
ct at digging time, they will bring but a
small price, submit plan for keeping
them which has been completely success
full in my case for the last six years:
Dig your potatoes in the forenoon, by
turning them out of the hill or ridge with
n spade, and not touching them with the
hands. 1t should be remembered that they
should be dug before there is frost to kill
the vines. A little frost, which merely
nips the leaves, will, however, do no harm.
After they are turned out of the ground,
let them remain in the sun until evening,
when they should be carefully separated
from the vines and taken to the storing
room.
In handling them, take them up and lay
them down carefully, as dropping them on
each other, or on the floor, will cause dry
rot. But clean cut does no harm. They
must be stored as soon as they come from
the field, and not allowed to lay around un-
til some of them commence to rot; as they
will then all rot before spring.
The boxes for storing should be long and
not very wide and deep (holding about
three or four bushels), and should be set
up foot OF so from the floor of the stor-
ing-room, and sufficiently out from the
wall so as to allow air to pass under and
around them.
The free circulation of warm air all
around them is very necessary to carry off
the moisture that the potatoes are con-
stautly throwing off They should be pack
ed in dust collected from the road or street
when the weather is dry. First throw in
layer of dust then put in bushel or SO
of potatoes then throw over these enough
dust to fill all the spaces between them and
quite cover them up; then another layer
of potatoes, and so on until your box is
filed
