Robbed on the highway boldly.

Nor pity from the crowd;

Cooked Cucumbers.

We find the following in the Rural South
land cit does not seem to be very gener-
ally known" says an exchange, "that the
cucumber is one of the most useful vegeta-
bleS we have, and can be dressed in Il
greater variety of palatable ways than any
other, except the tomato. 1t is better than
squash and more delicate than the egg
plant prepared in the same manner; can be
stewcd, fried or stuffed, and above all, can
be parboilcd, mashed up in batter and fried
rs lritters, more pleasant and easily pre-
pared than any vegetable or fruit. When a
cucumber Just becomes too old to be used
raw or for picking, it is then at its best for
cooking-and may be used for that purpose
even until the seeds become hard. A raw
cucumber is, for most persons, an indiges-
tible abomination, however much they may
admire it's flavor and odor.
BEST TINE TO CUT BUSHES. Twenty
years ago bought Il pasture of good soil,
but badly overrun with bushcs-roses,
blackberry, bayberry, and barberry. For
several years thereafter, az opportunity
occurred during the summer season, the
bushes were cut, and | had an opportunity
to observe the effect upon their life when
cut at different times. 1t was uniformly the
case with all kinds, that when they were
cut in the later part of August or in Sep
tember, they were most in ured if not killed
by the proceeding. The roses were nearly
all killed by one cutting at that season, and
the barberry, especially those Of large
growth and which were in fruit, never sent
up a shoot from the stump or root The
blackberry was more difficult to eradicate
with the scythe, but were then, and are
now, kept down better when cut late in
summer than at any other time. am con-
tldent the time mentioned IS the best to
destroy any plant by cutting up; and L
think it would be more etfectual if done
before the foliage drops in autumn, while
the plant is growing and too late to make a
new growth before winter. Country Gen

WHAT Is FATE. A blind power without
feeling, which designs that one die,
another live; the one goes down the other
up. II is y crude, blind force The
word fate means something spoLcn-a
decree. Who speaks? God speaks; but
He does not speak until ii is necessary.
There is time before the doom is sa,d.
I hat time - ours. Solomon says that the
same event happens to the fool and the
wise man, This is not true. They both
die. The fool very differently from the
wise man. 1t is wisdom hat postpones
fate. 1t is knowledge that posipones
doom. Nature is stern but loving
mother. Her determination is that we
come with fair and even intelligence.
Life is valuable, but intelligence is more
so. Nature will have us her masters,
not her slave. 70. B. Frothngham.

Preparation of Beet Leaves for Fodder.

method of so preparing the leaves of the
Sect as 10 render them capable of preServa-
zion for several months aS fodder, and at
thr same time greatly improving their quail
4iicS as food for cattle The method con
lists simply in placing them in baskets
and immersng them in tank containing
diluted hydrorhIorc acid of deg. of Bea-
ume The result OF this is to greatly CON
drnSt the volume of the leaves, and to
render 1t necessary to add more fresh ones
10 fill up the basket, which has to be again
immersed, and finally allowed TO drain off.
The leaves may then be placed in dry earth,
aud kept until needed for use According
tp report Of = committee who examined
the results Of this process, domestic ami
mails become exceedingly fond of the
leaves thus prepared; and, indeed milch
COWS fed with them are said TO give a
large increase OF milk, with decided i'm

The tendency to diarrhea in cattle produced
by the fresh beet leaves seem not 10 be de-
veloped by thus prepared fodder, and for
this and many other reasons it is strongly
recommended TO agriculturists.
