APPLE BUTTER.

AE1l4L DO11Eh
A farmer gives the following as
his way of making a bowl of apple
butter: AS soon as the cider is
brought from the press, we proceed
to boil it down as quickly as posi-
BILE, to avoid fermentation, but in
stead of beginning to fill in with ap-
pies when half boiled, and stirring
with a paddle twelve hours, we con-
t!nue the boiling process till it is all
boiled down to a good strip, say
about five gallons into one, which
can be poured out into a wood or
stone vessel, and will keep if not
ready to make up Immediately. The
evening previous to making up, with
the assistance of our men folks, we
pare and core our apples, which we
stew in little sweet cider, if we
have it, otherwise water or some of
the boiled cider weakened down.
When the apples are cooked soft, we
commence stirring, adding the boil
ed cider as fast as it will bear, four
bushels of apples being quiet sufi-
cient for thirty-two gallons of cider
Three hours of brisk boiling with
constant stirring viii make it strong
enough to keep year, if desired.
A nice breakfast dish can be pre-
pared as follows: Slice a few cold
biscuits or some dry light bread; fry
them slightly in a little butter or
nice gravy. Beat three or four eggs
with half teacupful of new milk,
and a pinch of salt. When the
bread is hot, pour the eggs over it
and cover for a few minutes; stir it
slightly, SO that the eggs may be
cooked. This is a nice dish, besides
saving the dry bread.

TO GET RID OF ANTS.
Take strip of wooden cloth one
half inch in width, and saturate it
with coal oil. Tie the strip around
the legs of your tables, safe,
lard jars, milk vessels, etc, that you
desire to protect, being careful that
no room is left between tie strip
and the posts, jars and the ike, and
see that the provision safe does moi
touch the wall. If the ants are very
bad, it may be well to re-saturats
with the coal oil once or twice dur
ing the season. However, this ii
seldom necessary. IF the legs O
your safe or cupboard are not 81
constructed that you can tie tn,
strip around them, take a squar,
piece of cloth, saturate and plac
under each leg. 1 assure you this j

Take good peaches, prepare and
cook them as for the table, but as
dry as possible; dip them out on
plates and spread them about half
an inch thick, put them in the sun
or stove until they are quite dry.
Set the plates away for several days,
they can then be taken off easily;
sprinkle little cinnamon or other
spice and some sugar over each
piece, and roll it up tight; when
wanted for use cut them IN slices.
Apples and pears can be dried in the
same way, but are not as nice as
peaches; If no sugar or spice is used
they may be kept for years, and make
excellent pies.

DRIED FRUIT.

Place your fruit in steamer over
a pot of boiling water, covered
tightly. When thoroughly heated,
tie them Immediately in clean lin
en- or cotton bag, and hang them up.
This method is preferable to heating
in an oven, as thai is apt to render
them hard, even if you are so fortu-
nate as not to burn them. This will
keep worms from your fruit.

The MeanIus OF voorhees' Speech.

TIs CRY OF ''RALLY," TO THE DEMOCRACY.
Col. Hinton writes from Washington to the
Boston Globe Of yesterday;
Among the shrewdest and most thoughtful
observers Of the political field, Mr.. Voorhees,
speech instead Of being regarded al a personal
bid or bit Of unruly buncombe, is looked upon
as a bold and well-considered design to rally
the masses OF the Democratic party fast be-

rails Mr. Belmont inspires both, to some ex-
tent at least. Voorhees, was selected because
he more truly leads the Western Democrats
than any other man in the House. There can
be no doubt that the foundations are slipping
away from beneath their feet. You cannot tell
a "Hoosier' or Sucker" Democrat of the bu-
collie class that he can properly and as Demo-
crat vote for Horace Greeley, without at once
muddling all his political ideas; the solid basis
of passion, prejudice and preeedents slip from
under him and you cannot tell where he will
drift to. This 10 exactly what is occurring all
through the West. Democrats are drifting Voor-

Whatever the Mobile Register and few others
may ray, the Southern Democrats are almost
sure to oppose any endorsement of Greeley at
Baltimore, with much more of bitterness than
even their Northern sympathizers will display.
l have had occasion recently to know the gener-
al drift on this subject among Southern and
Western Democrats in Congress. With the ex-
ception Of men from New York and Penusylva-
mia, the Democrats are unit against Greeley.
In playing 'possum," Democratic managers
hoped to fill disaiTected Republicans with the
idea that they would be supported, not oommdn-
ded by the Democracy, and to make the breach
too wide for them to retreat, when they found
that the Democracy never designed to surren-
