The Baltimore Convention.

1t was generally conceded before the
sonvsnipg Of this body tina. no nomina'
t,on would be made in opposition to Gree
Icy and Brown, but few expected to see
the unauimity with which the convention
nominated these gentlemen. The plat
form Of the Liberal Republicans wa.
adopted by the convention as embracing
oil the important Issues Of the campaign.
The frat ballot cast resulted 10 6S7 votes
for Greeley, Is for Bayard Of Delaware,
81 for Black Of Pennsylvania and 3 for
Grossbeck. A. the roll was called each
vote for Greeley was received with cheers
A motion to make the nomination unsn.
imous was carried amid cheers, and the
band struck up with the Battle Cry of
Freedom For Yics President. ON ihs
frst ballot, Brown received 7l3 votes,
Stevenson # Kentucky G, and Black Is
A motion to MAKE the nomination unan
imo1s was made and carried With one or
two exceptions.
This is the FIRST time 10 the history Of
the country tina, life long opponent to
the Democracy and a Republican ever
received such bonors from the Demo
cratic par y, aud nothin. but au honest
desire for reform prompted it. Laying
aside party preference in the belief that
it would take the united clements Of
opposition to defeat the cortup, ring that
has so long cursed our government, they
have united upon a man who was first
brought ou. by Liberc Republicans, and
who has been bitter opponen, Of the
party all bis life. Wha, better evdsnce

Farmers Ice Houses.

There is no more pleasant adjunct to the
farm during the heat Of summer than plenty
Of ice. Permanent structures for keeping
this commodity are now SO common that any
country carpenter knows how to build one
But many persons put off the building Of
this necessary convenience to the household
until it is too late and so the want Of it is
felt every summer and the erection Of the
permanent building is put off every fall until
it is again too late If so, put up tempo.
rary ice.pen this season and be prepared to
build the permanent house next year at your
leisure.
Select place as near the house as con.
yenient, aud shaded if possible Have the
drainage perfect Level the surface aud
cover it foot or more with ordinary straw,
or better, flax straw then make pcu Of
rails or some other suitable material, so that
the stack Of ice will not be less than - feet
square. The larger the better it will keep
Cut the cakes Of uniform size, and as perfect
as possible pack closely together, filling the
interstices with pounded ice
Around the outside between tho ice and
rails, two feet wide, pack with straw thor
oughly trodden down, but do not mix any
straw with the ice. Cover all with straw
two feet thick, and over all good roof Of
boards, letting the ends project well over the
sides.
Now if, in the spring, you set posts on the
outside, with something within them to keep
the straw from falling away, aud fiji the place
with straw, you will have cheap structure
that will keep ice perfect. Flax straw, or fax
trash, is the best non-conductiug material that
you can get for this purpose. With this
structure, an ice box will be more necessary
than with permanent one, since it is not adj
visable to open an ice stack oitener than i,
absolutely necessary,
Make an ice box with double sides, aud six
inches space for saw.dust or tan-bark between.
Fix a pipe in the bottom for drainage, which
may be run into pail or pan Have the in-
side box not less than two by two feet, and
twenty inches high, with an inside cover next
the ice This will give you room for cake
Of ice of at least one hundred pounds, aud
still leave room for meats, milk, etc. II you
have a full supply Of ice for one summer it
will thereafter become one Of the necessaries
without which family would feel LOST

Drying Up Cows.


The common idea that it is necessary to
dry off COW two or three months before
calying is really not only an erroneous but
very Improbable one. A COW in dairy is
not an animal in a state Of nature. She is
as artificial a production as the improved car
rot or turnip which is fed to her. Aud if
this is so, and her milking capacity has been
arti6cially built up far beyond that originally
consistent with her natural condition, why
Should we stop in our work at certain point
and not continue it as far az possibe2 We
have known more than one occasion when
COW was MIXED up to the period Of calyine
and no injury occurred either to her or the
calf 1t is true that the changed condition Of
the COW needs some change of treatment. --
There is a greatly enhanced demand on her
physical resources, but this change comes on
so gradually that we cannot tell the exact
moment when her milking powers should be
suspended. Certainly not two months, any
more than three or four months previous to
her coming in again The gradually chang.
Ing condition Of the COW must be gradually
met, and all will be we'll We lately saw a
fine Ayrshire COW which had just dropped a
calf when at the Illinois State Fair, and she
was in very high condition so much so that
an ordinary farmer, having q COW 10 similar
condition, would fear for her safety. We
also saw fine Jersey COW, on another occa-
sion, which the owner assured Us was MIXED
tho evening previous to her calying and the
calf seemed to have suffered nothing in con-

How 70 Cook Meats.

BKEFsTEAK Almost every one has a way
for cooking beefsteak SO that it is eatable.
But do not believe that any one can make
a nice steak out Of tough meat, Very few
broil meat, as it requires a strong heat from
Goals. Next comes the frying pau. BE sure
and have that hot, but not red hot Then
take a small piece Of butter and rub on the
bottom Of the pan, enough to grease it, as
we women folks say This is to prevent the
meat sticking to the pan and burning, or spoil
ing the taste Of both gravy and meat. Then
throw in the meat. BY the time the last piece
is in the first will be ready to turn. Notice
as you lift it If the pan looks dry; if So take
piece on a fork, and grease again, and serve
each piece the same way. Turn often until
done. If you cannot judge by the looks of
the meat as to the matter, cut into a piece,
but remember, the more you cut meat while
cooking, the more juice will be lost. If you
prefer buttored meats, place a small piece on
top, and as it melts, spread it over the slice
Of meat, then add pepper and salt. | prefer
the butter in the gravy, and add as much wa
ter as you need pepper and salt this also.
One in twenty cannot tell whether this steak
is broiled or not
RoAsr Dredge well with -four dan
pepper. If very fat place in the pan with
just water enough to cover the bottom. If
not place long slice of pork on top of the
meat. Mark this. Have the oven very hot,
so that the meat will brown all over in few
minutes, aud then the juices are inside the
meat When the meat has become thorough
ly Drowned, reduce the heat to an eyen quick
heat. Basic often and keep the water low
One hour before taking out, sprinkle salt over
the meat into the pan. have often seen
people put meat into moderate oven, fill the
pan half full Of water, and haste it twice
perhaps. Such meat would be dry and taste
less, both warm and cold. A roas. of thir.
teen pounds should cook four hours and
half, and the center would have streak not
perfectly cooked nor perfectly raw. The
grease SO essential for basting must be turn.
ed from the pan before making the gravy
If you wish to stuff meat, take out bone /;
if that cannot be done, make an incision in
the roast, and sew thin piece over the stuff
6ug.
CoRSED BEEF.--Porhaps Young House
keeper" has read that she mustn't boil too
fast that tough meat will be the result
The whole secret in cooking corned beef is
time enough. A piece of eight pounds should
be put into boiling, bubbling water, and let
it bubble four or five hours. | sometimes
cook meat thirty minutes after the bones slide
out easily. Let it remain ia the water until
cold. If it fall apart before you are aware
of it, pack 1t close together in an earthen
dish. | seldom press meat, as the best of the
meat presses out but if you wish extra nice
looking slices, you will be obliged to press it
a little.

Feeding Cattle.

The season is at hand when the cattle will
be put into the barn. and be fed from the
NOW or stack aud it becomes every owner
Of stock to see TO the way in which the cattle
are fed, so that little or no feed will be vast
ed. There is very great difference in farm
ers IN this respect; some make the same
amount Of fodder 90 great deal further than
others, and consequently secure greater re-
suits and profits from the same. Ia some
barns there is great waste Of hay and other
food, owing to the want of system in feeding
Some feed too often, and so waste the food /;
others feed too much at time, aud the ami
NAL eats part and blows upon the rest, aud
will not eat it, so that loss ensues still others
feed so uneyenly, too much at one time, and
too little at another that on the whole it re-
quires more to keep the animal in good con-
diton than if fed at regular hours aud in
regular quantities We have known cases
where horses have been kept in the best con-
dition on about half as much proyender as
other horses that did not appear as WELL even
though the cost Of keeping was nearly double,
and 1t could only be accounted for in the diff
ieront way in which they were fed. When
hay and other feed is dear, as it is this year,
it certainly becomes Us all to use proper econ
my in feeding our horses and neat cattle -

FARMERS Accounts. One Of our cotem-
poraries truly remarks that if farmer kept
as nice and exact accounts with the cattle,
the fields, the orchards and the crops with
which he has annual dealing just as his more
careful brother merchant does, he would fud
spirit Of business working into all his hab-
its, and progress and push would invariably
follow. The loose notion seems to be that
here are fields, and these the buildings, and a
living must somehow be got out of them. Bat
that will not do in these days. Every agri-
cuturist is bound to know what his farm
yields him for his own consumption, and how
much for sale and then he will be able to
get at any profits by cyphering the difference
less the cost of cultivation

"A Farmers Wife" in late number Of
The Western Rural, gives the following des.
cription Of an Improvement in quilt frames
The frames are made in the usual manner,
with holes bored at proper distances for roll
ling. Then make four posts Of scantling the
height you wish, on the top of which put an
iron pin just to lh the hoes in the frames
The pin should be just long enough to put on
both pieces of the frame, with small hole in
the top for pin to hold them in place. II
the frames are of the proper size and the quilt
made to fit them, you can quilt as easily and
nicely " around the corner" as anywhere else
1t will not be slipping down, thereby causing
much confusion and pricking of fingers and
can be as easily moved as table.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR CoFFEE.-From chem
ical analysis it appears that the seeds Of the
asparagus, when dried, parched and ground,
make a full-havored coffee, but little in
ferior to Mocha, containing, in common with
tea and coffee, the principle called taurine.
Dry the asparagus berries well, after being
thoroughly ripened, then rub them on a sieve,
