that they intended to batter it down, we
might ask them "How?" They point
to a cannon ball. Well, but there is no

than half a hundred, or, perhaps hun
dred-weight; if all the men in the army
hurled it against the fort, they would
make no impression. They say, ''No,

there is no power in that; child may

GODS TIME.

Grand is the leisure of the earth;
She gives her happy myriads birth,
And after harvest fears not dearth.
But goes to sleep in snow-wreaths dim.
Dread is the leisure up above,
The while He sits whose name is Love,
And waits, as Noah did the dove,
To see if she would fly to him.
He waits for us while, houseless things,
We beat about with bruised wings
On the dark floods and water-springs-
The ruined world, the desolate sea-
With open windows from the prime,
All night, all day, He waits sublime,
Until the fulness of the time
Decreed from His eternity.

EXERCISE FOR Walking
and scratching are the principal forms
of exercise for domestic fowls: Flying
is not popular in view of the owners of
the birds, or the birds themselves. The
wild species do not take wing unless in
an emergency, and their domesticated
representatives have powers of flight still
further lessened through disuse of the
wing muscles, and increase of size and
weight of their bodies. But their legs
are kept in almost constant motion
through the day, when they are allowed
the bent of their inclinations. Nature
has designed that they should scratch
for living. Then ''let 'em scratch. y
We all agree that physical exercise is
indispensable for men, horses, dogs and
other ANIMALS. But birds are by nature
more active in habit than even horses
and dogs. 1t will not do to thwart
them. The exertion of scratching soil,
straw, leaves, or rubbish, must be pretty
severe work, and capable of calling into
action most of the larger muscles. Then
of course, artificial deprivation of such
efficient exercise must tell upon the
health and thrift. Who has seen doz
en- hens at large in gardening-time, with
freshly raked fower-beds near by, ant
not learned what the predominating in
stinct of the animal is? Philosopher

STEAMED POTATOES Potatoes are
more nutritious and palatable if they
are properly steamed than they are boil
ed. Wash them clean and place them
in a steamer over boiling water. If the
potatoes are of good quality, the secret
of having them mealy and palatable is
In steaming them very rapidly, as with
out rapid condensation of steam and
detention of steam in the steamer by a
close lid, the potatoes will be hard and
appear not done however long they have
been cooking. They should steam until
the skin cracks, and fork will easily
penetrate the center. If not to be brought
to the table soon, they should continue
to steam until wanted, as steamed pota-
toes become solid much sooner than boil.

FEED FOR HORSES.

The horse has the best or most under
standing or judgment of any animal in
this world and hence the importance
of feeding regularly, properly and sufi-
GENTLY, and of treating him kindly. He
knows when it is morning, noon and
night; he forgets literally nothing
There is great deal of nonsense about
the best feed for horse just turn him
into pasture where are all sorts of grass
es, and see what he eats, loves, and
grows fat upon. If he goes down into
the fresh meadow and eats what has no
Juice, no sweet in it, then give him fresh
meadow hay to eat. But, if he will eat
good grass, roots and all an inch below
the surface, and then eat all the thistles
and briers, small bushes and the bark off
from the trees before he will eat flag
pollypod, then you had better not COM
pei him to eat these in winter. Give a
young horse as little grain as will keep
him in flesh, after eating fifteen pounds
of good hay per day. Give a young
horse oats if you can afford it. When
he grows poor upon oats, then give him
meal. Give old horses meal instead of
oats, if they work, because they need
flesh, and oats do not make enough il
your horse is fifty, give him less meal
and more hay, and let him grow poor
If you want to keep your horse as cheap
as you can, give him twelve pounds Of
hay or straw per day in three feeds, ano
add the same weight Of fine meal, unless
less meal will keep him in condition.
The horses stomach must be distendet
to keep him in health, and it is not wis,
to give him less than about twelve pound
of hay per day.
Good straw is just as good as hay
provided meal enough is given to kee]
the horse in flesh. There is but littl
difference between early cut, well-cure'
straw, and English hay that has ripcne
its seed but there is most decide
f difference between both of these an

The CHEESE MARKET.-Never has
there been such activity in the cheese
markets of the United States and Eng
land at such generally satisfactory and
remunerative prices as for this season.
Never was the make or export ever SO
large, or the prices and consumption as
good-that of England has been enor-
nous, and the course of the market has
disappointed the hopes of the most SAN
guine, both dealers and shippers ruling
2 to 8 cents per lb. above the prices of
the same time last year, instead of going
lower, as many predicted early in the
season. And now we have market ex-
cited under an advance of one cent in a
single day, which is pretty certain to be
fully maintained this week at least, and
far less strange than the past course of
this years market will be, should this
advance be maintained throughout the
season. Still this is not expected, from
the fact that the course of past years
will not warrant it. Neither did it war
rant an advance in July and August,
but we have had it nevertheless-a thing
before unknown. We are equally liable
to be disappointed on the remainder of
the season. In fact, the general situa-
ton of this and the English market may
warrant such a supposition. The new
elements which have caused an enormous
increase of consumption in England still
exist, and are by no means temporary.

To PICKLE RED CABBAGE.-Selectt the
purple red cabbage, take off the outside
leaves, quarter and take out the stalk,
then shred the cabbage into a colander
or small basket, and sprinkle with CON-
mon salt. Let it remain a day or two,
then drain and put into jars; fill up
with boiling vinegar, spiced with ginger
and black pepper, and add few slices
of red beet root-some add few grains
of powdered cochineal. If the vinegar
is boiled. and then allowed to stand till
cold before pouring over the cabbage, it
will better insure its crispness, but will
not keep so we'll as if put on boiling hot.
The SUBsoIL PLow.--A correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes It
should be used in the spring, following
in the furrow of the breaking pillow, and
loosening the soil six or eight inches
deeper. The breaking pillow should turn
the soil up six inches deep, making the
entire loose ground twelve or fourteen
inches deep. A crop of corn is best to
grow on the sod and the effect of SUBJ
soiling will be seen in the crop by the
time it is two feet high. The heat of
the sun and the exposure of the soil to
the air, together with the presence of
the corn roots, prepare the subsoil for
turning up TO the surface. The follow
ing spring, the field should be plowed
so as to place one half of the subsoil on
the earth's surface. At the next pillow
ing all this loosened subsoil can be turn.
ed to the surface. By this process the
soil and subsoil are mixed, and the lat
ter becomes naturalized to the raising o.
grains. In breaking up the last two
times, care should be taken, of course
not to pillow when the soil is too wet.

the new hop crop in the United State
is now estimated at $4,000, 900 pounds
