perhaps will never be built, might as well
dismiss the notion at once. 1t will go right

ture IS not to scorch it. In about a day
it will become dry and crisp. The
sheets thus made can be stored away in
a dry place, and they are always ready
tor use for pies or sauce. Soak the
pieces over night in little milk, and
they will return to nice pulp, as deli
cious as the fresh pumpkin-we think
much more SO. The quick drying after
cooking prevents any portion from
slightly souring, as is always the case
when the uncooked pieces are dried ;
the flavor is much better preserved, and
after cooking is saved. This plan is
quite as little trouble as the old mode,
to say nothing of the superiority in the
quality of the material obtained. Try
it and you will not return to the old
method, We are sure, and you will also
become a great lover of pumpkin pie,

The Care of Winter Apples.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
writes:
The way that most farmers save their
winter apples is to haul them up like
potatoes, or pile them up n cave or
cellar. BY this method you not only
lose much valuable time, but lose very
many apples, and what you do keep
over winter are IN bad condition.
Apples may be kept in barrels that are
quite open, but the best and cheapest
way to keep them is in crates or boxes
made in the following msnner: The
ends or head pieces should be ten or
twelve inches wide, by fifteen or
eighteen long; they can be sawed or
split; nail your clapboards on the bot
tom and sides, leaving pieces for ventila-
ton. Have your clapboards all the same
length-about three feet.
When you gather your apples from
the trees, put them in these boxes (be
careful 10 not bruise them) and lay the
boxes on each other in your apple
house. Two men viii handle these
boxes with ease. You can look your
apples over in these boxes at any time
with but little labor. When you are
ready to ship, just nail board over the
top and you are ready. In this way YOU
get your apples in market in good con-
dition and handle them at once. Keen
your house as cold as possible at a..
times without freezing.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIoNs.-Perhaps
no man living has won more golden
opinions than Dr.. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests.
We never look into one of our ex-
changes, but there is panegyric Of the
Bitters staring US in the face. Our
readers will say that there must be q
reason for all this praise. They are
right. The efficacy of this celebrated
medicine is established by evidence
which it is impossible to doubt. Among
the thousands who have borne testi-
mony to its excellence, there is not one
dissentient voice. In very many phases
of inorganic disease it seems to be un.
falling. All diseases arising from a vitiated
state of the blood are surely eradicated by it
1t is an effectual remedy for pulmonary COM
plants, bilious, remfttent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. 1t purges
the body of all unhealthy humors. gives tone
to the system and where the vital powers
are enfeebled, restores their functions to
vigorous and healthy action. All this it does
the more efectuallv because its operation is
not interfered with by the presence of alec
hol. The VINEGAR BITTERs is perfectly free
from any such ihurtful ingredient. We have
always believed that plants contain the true
remedies for disease, and all the remedies
necessary. DR.. Walker is on the line CT real
progress, and we hope that he will not rest
on his present discoyeries.-[Conl.

To Make a Sheen OWN a Lamb.

A correspondent writes: 81 Sometimes
1t IS desirable to make one sheep own
the lamb of another, but often it is a
difficult task. An experiment that we
tried few days since proved perfect
success, and was cas- ly conducted; and
for the benefit OF those who NAV be
sinliiarl y situated we communicate it to
your columns. One of cur. sheep lost
her lamb. In q few days yearling
dropped lamb which she did not own.
and, in fact, had no milk for it. We
took the lamb Immediately after it was
dropped and sprinkled it with fine salt
and placed it with the sheep that had
lost her lamb, and in a short time was
as fond Of II as she was of her own.
She is now taking the greatest care of
her adopted charge.-F'eatsra R,vaz.J

Fall Treatment of the Garden.

practical correspondent of the
Country Gentleman writes:
In passing through the country |
have been surprised to sse what amount
of weeds run 10 seed is occupying our
gardens. Do the people know that the
seeds of these weeds viii trouble them
next year? So much the more labor is
sure to result, when very little work
now would remedy the evil.
Something may yet be done. Pull
up carefully all the weeds that will
readily yield, and remove to some place,
either to burn when dry, or to rot. Cut
the rest ana remove also. Then spade
the ground deeply, not bringing up any
raw soil from below. Cover with what
manure and what other material re-
CURED. Of course, long, green manure
is not wanted in garden. Cover well
and even, ana you will have an even
fertility. 10 this as soon as the ground
IS unoccupied so as to give the fall rains
chance to wash down the strength
into the soil. In the spring the ground
will work admirably. By spading the
soil again, and leaving the toy, ground
where it is, mixing the manure into it
for several inches, you will have what
you want-a rich, mellow surface, start
ing the seeds at once, and continuing
their growth. If the manure has been
well rotted when applied, and the
weeds removed, there will be good
prospect for the summer. 1t is an ad.
vantage to occasionally use ashes, either
leached or unleached, in q garden; also
lime. Apply in the fall. l find it an
advantage to mix these caustic mineral
substances with the soil slightly if ma
nure is to follow.
If garden is not well drained, now
is the tune to do it. Remember it can
not De too thoroughly drained; the
more the better. Have the drains deep
and close together.
