of visitors, who would probably dread
the operation. The platter should be
placed so near the carver that he has full
control over IT if far off nothing can
prevent an ungraceful appearance. A
sharp knife is requisite, and thin and
well-tempered blade.
In carving turkey cut off the wing
nearest to you first +; then the leg and
second joint, then slice the breast until a
founded piece appears ; insert the knife
between them and separate them-this
part is the incest bit of the breast next

After this, turn over the bird a little,
and Just below the breast you will find
the oyster, which you separate as you did

side the rump, and the desired morsel can
be taken without separating the whole
bone. Proceed the same with the other
side. The fork need not be removed dur
ing the whole process. An experienced
carver will dissect fowl as easily as you
can break an egg or cut a potato He re-
tains his seat, manages his hands and ell
bows artistically, and is perfectly at ease.
There is no difficulty in the matter; it
only requires knowledge and practice, and
these should be taught in the family, each

every time the largest, earliest and best

and better corn. So with potatoes. Secure
always the larger and coarser, and there
will be large and coarse, tillage the same.
This will do for feeding. But a smaller
potatoe is wanted for the table, a finer
grained, better form, approaching the flat
and smooth, so that the cooking is expe-
dited. There is also more sweetness and
better quality generally in medium sized
tubers. These, and only these, should be

The Thieves and Their Plumber.

SENATOR MoRTON's favorite declaration
that I'VE have the best civil service in the
world" finds pleasant illustration in some
figures lately furnished by Washington
correspondent of the New York Times.
According to this authority, there have
been detected and punished during the
last three years, forty Internal Revenue
officers, fifteen Custom House officers.
thirteen officers of the Interior
Department, sixteen Money Order officers,
four Army and two Naval officers, and
one hundred and five Postmasters-in all
one hundred and ninety-eight. The
amount of cash lost by the Government
through these thieves is set down at 81
301 ,621. How much has been lost through
the uncaught thieves, we leave our read
ers to guess; but Morton and those who
share his opinion concerning our civil
service, may ransack the records of the
English Government for ten years without
finding as much stealing traced to off
Gals there, as has actually been proven
In three years of Grants Administration.
When nearly million dollars is known
to be carried off annually by dishonest
public servants, and when the evil seems
to be increasing rather than diminishing,
one might suppose that the party which
claims to contain full assortment of all
the cardinal virtues would be strongly in
favor OF the most searching reform But
on the contrary. quite the reverse. The
report of the Civil Service Commission
which, at least, has the merit of pointing
in the right direction, has been unmerci-

Orchard Planting.

raises.

WE are on the eve of the new planting
season, and it becomes an important ques-
ton as to what and how to plant. The eX-
pericnce of the past two or three years
has not been quite favorable to fruit
growing as a whole; but this, instead of
causing withdrawal from the occupation,
should stimulate to greater cXcrtion,
deeper inquiry, more Intelligent culture,
and more economical management.
Among the first items to be considered
is that of cconomy-but that not in the
way of purchasing cheap and putting
them into the ground in a hurried, SLOW
enly manner. We advise to get the very
best stock, if it costs much more; entirely
reliable in quality, and, above all, reliable
in variety. Give the most ample, thor
ough preparation to the soil; it is so very
much easier to get the soil into good filth
before trees or any other crop is planted
than after they occupy the ground, as
then they run great risk of sustaining in
Jury, rs well as rendering the subsequent
culture much more difficult and incili-
Cicnt.
As to varieties for purely market pur-
poses, depend mostly ON winter sorts;
and in these, size, color, and keeping
must be kept much more prominently be
fore the mind than quality. 1t is unwise
to have many varieties. \ hundred trees
of one variety arc generally much more
profitable than ten trees each of Ten varic-
ties.
Again, calculate to have your apples
ready for market early in the winter, or
to he in condition 10 bold on to them till
epring-thrrc is so much danger from
frost in December and January, in trans
portation.
How to plant is quite an important
point We advise close planting. The
distance must very greatly depend on the
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1872-03-09

avoid covering the seeds too deeply, and
to shade the smaller kinds so that the hot
sun shall not dry the surface and destroy
them while negotiating. This latter Is
particularly necessary in our southwest
ern climate, where hot sunshine and drying
winds are quite frequent in spring as well
as In summer.
After covering the delicate seeds slight
ly with fine earth, and watering freely but
gently with warm water. cover the surface
with bits of newspaper or similar articles,
fastening them with pegs or with stones
at the corners, to prevent them from being
blown off If gentle rains occur the
coverings may be removed for the time,
but if a heavy shower is anticipated leave
them on, as ii would otherwise beat the
surface too hard After four or five days,

Art of Shaving.

As MEN continue to shave and to be
shaved "a practice which some regard as
| unnatural and undesrable), we transfer
| to our columns, says the Rural Neo York
er, the following brief essay upon shay
ing, which is from the pen of so cele-
brated an authority as Mr.. Mech:
Never fail to well wash your beard
with soap and water, and to rub it dry,
| Immediately before you apply the loHer,
of which the more You use, and the thicker
il is. the easier you will shave.
Never use warm water. which makes
Il tender face. In cold weather, place
your closed razor in your pocket or under

leave your bed Tor bath) is the best time
to shave.
always wipe your razor clean, and
strop it before putting it away; and al
ways put your shaving brush away with
the lathcr on it.
THE razor (bcing only very fine SAW
should be moved in sloping or saving
direction, and held nearly flat to your
face, care being taken to draw the skin as
tight as possible with the left hand, SO as
to present an even surface, and to throw
out the beard.
1.-The practice of pressing on the edge
of razor in stropping it soon rounds it !;
the pressure should be directed to the
back, which should never be raised from
the strop. If you shave from heel to
point of the razor, strop it from point to
heel; but if you begin with the point in
shaving, then strop it from heel to point
''If you only once put away your razor
without stropping it, or otherwise per
fectly cleaning the edge, you must no
longer expect to shave well and easy, the

can generally be taken up two or three to-

moved without breaking the roots. Be
