A Capital Sermon.

The following excellent article on
Profitable Farming we take from
the Germantown Telegraph:
There are too many men who put
their all into a single venture, and
if that fail are utterly used up.
There is perhaps no business where
in "two strings to ones bow" is so
important as in farming. Other pur-
suits have certain rules which have
been founded on experience, and
which the shrewd man Of business
can take advantage of with an al
most assured certainty of success.
But we cannot do this. We cannot
tell what will happen to our crops.
Sometimes it will be over-dry, some
times over-wet; sometimes we are
plagued with swarms Of insects, at
other times we are afflicted with
blights and mold. Against none of
these things do we ever get the
slightest hint. But we have dwelt
on this recently, in speaking of the
value of diversifying our products.
Trouble never strikes everything
alike. Some will succeed. But, in
dependently of all this, the young
farmer should never be cast down
by misfortune. 1t lie here where SO
many fail. We knew one, once,
who had made by city work some
$500. He had originally been
brought up on farm, and had made

More Cheese Wanted.

If the mass OF the people could
get good cheese at first prices, three
times as much would be consumed
as at present. All summer cheese
has been - and Is cents per pound.
But so little is made in the country,
and so hard is it to get, that con-
sumers have been compelled to pay
middle men from 20 to 25 cents per
pound. At this rate farmers do
without it and eat too much pork.
Instead Of being on every ones ia
bic, it is mainly used now as lunch
by those away from home, and
bought at 100 per cent. profit to the
grocer by the half pound. There
should be more cheese factories so
that sales can be made direct to the
consumer. And to aid in its rapid
sale portion of the cheese al the
factory should be made of ten and
twenty pounds weight, instead of
forty, and sold to farmers without
boxes. Seldom ever a box comes
to a farmers house as the amount
he buys, paying one hundred per
cent profit, is taken home tied up in
a piece of brown paper. Let the
farmers take the steps this winter
to establish more factories, and also
take into consideration these ideas
of selling direct to consumers. A
large number do without cheese
from determination not to pay SO
much to the middle men.-St0te
Register.

Women Farmers

1t is not unusual to find women
who have become widows, with
farms on their hands, and families
to support, who have exhibited rare
energy and sclf-reliance, and have,
under the spur ofneccssity, become
good farmers. Occasionally we hear
Of some young woman who has put
her hand to the plow and has achiev-
ed fine success as a farm laborer.
Such cases in this country are some
times widely advertised, and spoken
of as worthy of attention, usually of
admiration. But in all such cases
these women have entered upon
their labors and enterprises without
previous preparation, and often with
little warning. Now, if successful
in spite of adverse circumstances, is
it not reasonable to suppose that
with training therefore they might
be fully as successful as the sterner
sex? What is there in the conduct
Of farm that might not be as prof.
tably and properly directed by wo-
men as by men?
We are led to call attention to
this matter by having witnessed the
examination of a class composed
mostly of young ladies, at the Agrl-
cultural College on the various class
es Of stock, and the principles of
stock breeding. The points OF the
Beef Animal were learnedly discuss
ed by one young lady, and in most
natural and practical way the values
of the several parts were explained,
to the edification and bewilderment
of some learned gentlemen who were
present. Not expecting such thor
oughness we omitted to take notes
Of the examination, but we expect
to procure some papers from these
young ladies that will show more
clearly to our readers the extent and
Of their instruction in
these branches: 1t may be sufficient
here to state that it included the
points of the mich COW, the various
races Of cattle, the faults and values
of each race, how improved, how
the laws Of Inheritance in
breeding, prepotencc of the several
parents, the liability to reversion,
breeding in-and-in, and, in fine, ma
ny of the principles that constitute
foundation Of the successful rearing
of stock as understood by those now
in the front rank as improvers of
races and families. 1t may be prop
er to mention that these studies are
taught in the college to such young
ladies as wish to graduate in the
Agricultural course. They are not
studied by all the young ladies, nor
even by all the young men. They
constitute, however, a course Of in
that can scarcely prove
otherwise than of great value to the
people of the State, as causing in
quiry and research in a direction
from which much ofthe future worth
and wealth Of the west may be ex-
pected to come. All honor be to
those young ladies who propose to
take the honors and benefits Of Ag-
ricultural education in the Agricul-
tural College.-Fdrmers journal.

Improved Buckwheat Pancake.

Buckwheat pancake is an article
largely used; but as commonly pre-
pared, it is not fit to serve up at any
table, 1t is heavy and distressing
to the stomach. Though the batter
may be light, yet when it gets on
the griddle it is apt to fall and be-
come the heavy, indigestible thing
we find it. Not unfrequently is it
sour.
Now all this can be obviated, and
a light, palatable cake made, with a
little care, by the addition of "a little
Graham flour mixed with the buck
wheat, the proportion of Graham be-
ing little over quarter. Mix the
flour to keep on hand ready for ba-
king. When wanted to be used,
bring to batter with butter milk;
it must be milk from the churn; and
it wants to be quite sour. Raise
with soda, and bake at once. The
first baking will in general not be
satisfactory; it will lack lightness.
Still it will be better than the usual
pancake.
Now leave what batter remains
in a warm room. This will some
what raise it; and the cake the next
morning will be improved. Anoth-
err twenty-four hours exposure to
the warmth, say of seventy to eigh-
ty degrees, and there is still further
improvement. Then there will be no
difficulty.
1t is best to have the batter, when
it reaches the stove, as cold as pos
sible without freezing. The soda
will then have little or no effect till
the heat of the griddle sets it in mo-
ton, baking the paste as it rises.
1t wants hot fire, so as to bake
rapidly. The cake will then be
brown, and as light as sponge,
and very tender, almost melting in
the mouth. 1t causes no distress
whatever, but digests readily and
is healthy-medicinal somewhat,
which results from the course Ora
ham flour mixed with it. 1t is high
ly relished, and may be eaten two
or three times day, and the year
through. Though it will be less
light in summer than in winter, yet
palatable and agreeing well. It is
our own mode, invented by us after
long, tedious experiments. The OBJ
ject was to get a light, palatablc
cake, and at the same time combine
the medicinal virtue of the bran.
Care must be exercised at first.
Dissolve the soda in water, mix with
the paste and bake at once. We
have used this cake for many years,
and use no other. Try it; but be pa
tient at first.

To Cheaper Transports ton.

The best solution of the transport
tation problem thus far proposed is
found in a course which tends to do
away with the necessity for trans
portation. The more it shall be con-
sidered by western men the more its
Importance will be recognized, and
more clearly will it be found practi-
cable. The capabilities ofthe West
for consuming It's own products and
manufacturing its own goods are
clearly manifest, and will steadily
develop as time advances. The i'm
mense products which she now
transports hundreds and thousands
of miles to reach the consumer, be-
cause all the production is hers, and
all the consumption belongs to the
East, may be to large extent retain
ed and consumed on her own terri
tory. Let the West but have its own
looms, spindles and FORCES, as well
as its corn and wheat fields, its own
flocks and herds, and then, not only
will some important questions in po-
litical economy have received their
solution, but the transportation ques-
ton itself will have lost much of it's
Significance Kalamazoo 7ele-

up his mind to return to it as soon
as he had accumulated enough to
warrant him in making start, but
he put away two thousand dollars,
and invested only six in the farm
and stock. 1t SO happened that the
next two years found him in terri
BILE losses, but they brought him ex-
perience, and he fell back on his
small reserve, and this, with his
new experience, gave him new and
good start. 1t is not SO long ago
but he now considers himself worth

Gates ofthc proposition that farming

A Gront Horror Done Away With.

House cleaning is a great horror
to nine men out Of every ten. When
that time comes the "mcn folks" as
rule, give the domestic hearth o
"wide BERTH" Oceans suds-the
prospect of tons ofsoap-fairly flood
every part of the house. The wo.
men, from the mistress down, labor
as they never worked before, and
what with the discomfort, the smell
of suds and the dampness, and not
unfrequently sickness, the product
of colds and over-work, matters are
generally disagrceable The simple
use Of Sapolio instead Of soap does
away with all this discomfort. 1t
lightens the labor hundred per
cent. because it removes dirt, grease,
stains, spots, with hardly any labor,
with but little water, and in one
tenth the usual time.

SAVING Soil FOR EARLY Hot
BEDs.-Those who design to start
hot beds in February or March,
before the ground is thawed up,
would do well to prepare some rich,
fine soil now, and protect it from
freezing solid through the winter.
This may be done by putting it in
a pile in the hot-bed, covering with
straw, and then covering the frame
with boards to prevent snow and
rain reaching it.

Upon which the practical editor
remarks:.
"The writer of these verses, we
judge, is not granger. Corn, let
us inform him, is not mown. 1t is
plowed up and threshed, It is not
sown but grows wild in the umbra-
geous forest. And furthermore,
the farmer who should set out to wa
ter his burrows with tears, would
find, in due season, that it couldn't
be successfully done without more
irrigation than the human form
is capable of giving" This is severe
on the ambitious writer, though
deserved rebuke to his hypocri-
cy.

WANTED TO BE HEARD 'FRONT.'
anybody has ever used the thorough
and scientific course of treatment
recommended by the proprietor of
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, for the
cure of Catarrh, and has not been
perfectly cured, the proprietor, DR..
r. V. Pierce, would like to hear
from that person, and by addressing
him at the Worlds Dispensary, Bus
falo, N. Y, such person, if there be
enc, will hear Of something to his
or her advantage, as the Doctor is
in earnest when he offers $500 re-
ward for case of Catarrh which he
cannot cure, and is perfectly able to
pay it it he fails in single case, as
anyone may ascertain upon inquiry.
The thorough course Of treatment
referred to and recommended by DR..
Pierce consists in the use of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy with DR..
Pierce's Nasal Douche, which is the
only means by which the fluid can
be carried high up and applied to
all parts of the nasal passages and
the chambers connected Herewith
in which ulcers exist and from which
the discharge proceeds. In addition
to this thorough application Of the
Remedy, which should always be
used warm, DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be taken
earnestly as constitutional treatment
without which few cases can be Gu
red as the disease is always consti-
tutional and must be treated accord
ingly. This treatment has no I'M
pleasant features about it, and has
the advantage of never driving the
disease to the lungs as there is dan
ger of doing by the use of strong,
Irritating snuffs or poisonous solu-
tons.

The Illustrations of The Aldine have won a
world reputation, and in the art centers of
Europe it is an admitted fact that Its wood cuts
are examples of the highest perfection ever at
tanned. The common prejudice in favor of
'steel plates,' is rapidly yielding to more edu-
Gated and discriminating taste which recognizes
greater facility reproduction. The wood-cuts OF
the Aldine possess all the delcacy and elaborate
finish of the most costly steel plate while they af
ford q better rendering Of the artists original.
In addition to designs by members of the Ma
tional Academy, and other noted American ar
fists, the Aldine1 will reproduce examples OF
the best foreign masters, selected with . view to
the highest artistic success and greatest general
interest. Thus the subscriber to the Aldine will,
at trifiing cost, enjoy in his own home the ref.
