During the conversation he related an incl

ed $500 head of sheep from Armijo & Baca
at the low price of So each. To-day that
man has 10000 sheep, worth $4,000, to
say nothing of the enormous profits accruing
from the sale of wool during that time. And
again he demonstrated the profits accruing
from the purchase of 5000 head. A man
buys this number, and in six months he finds
himself possessed of 10000 sheep, one-half
of the 5000 increase being ewes and the
other wethers. Here is an increase of lOO
per cent in six months in natural Increase
The feeces of the 5000 head will be worth

IT the oven remains as hot as was necessary
to make them rise, they will burn before
| they are thoroughly cooked through.
Bread requires a much slower fire, but IL
should be even and steady from first to last.
Cake requires still slower fire than bread:
but it must not be too slow or the cake Will
not be thoroughly cooked through, and Will
fall when taken from the oven. 1t the hre Is
too hot at first, it will crust over before 1t Is
light, and burst through the crust and rise
rough and homely. If the cake is large
some nails or other bits of iron should be
placed under it, and paper spread over 1t,
else it will scorch before it is cooked through.
Any kind of bread or pastry requires hot
ter fire when mixed with water than with
milk
Fruit pies require hotter fire than
bread, but steady from first to last; II too
hot at first the crust will cook before the
fruit does; if too slow towards the last the
crust will dry up before the fruit is DONE II
too hot towards the last the fruit will stew
out before the crust is done. Pumpkin pies
require fire as hot as can be without burn
ing the crust. Custards require slow fire,
else they will boil or whey out before they
are done. But puddings require hot lire:
particularly Indian pudding, for they are all
the better for being wheyed out.
In baking meat pies, always leave hoie
IN the top crust, else poisonous gas Will
collect in it. For baking meats the fire
should never be hot enough to burn the
grease; pork and chickens require hotter
fire than beef.
We talk about hot, quick and slow ovens.
but it takes very long experience to enable
one to tell by the feeling, or in any other
practical manner, just how hot an oven is,
until we see its effect on the articles cooked
and then it is too late; and it is impossible
to communicate to any one else the precise
temperature which is represented by our
ideas of hot, quick, etc. 1t is matter OF
guess-work, after all. In fact, our whole
system of cooking Is more or less patched
up system of guess-work. We have rules
and recipes for rich cakes and buildings, but
bread OF all varieties, pies, butter, etc., are
made by guess. And even 10 those recipes
which We have, the Ingredients are measured
in all kinds of vessels, and no two persons
understand alike the terms which designate
the quantities.
One of our friends has stove with glass
oven doors Why could not thermometer
also be attached to them? [ nope to see the
time when cooking shall become an exact
science when we shall not only measure the
heat OF our ovens with thermometers and
know the precise temperature of which they
should be for each variety baked therein !;
but shall also know the temperature at which

when We shall prepare all articles of food by
correct recipes, and measure all ingredients

GRAIN FOR PoULrRY.-There is no other
grain that is relished so we'll by fowls as
Indian corn. 1t must always continue to be,
as now, the Americanpoulterer' main reli-
ance, for although too fattening to use in
certain cases, it possesses more nutriment
for the price than any other grain, and is
always to be obtained. Corn can be given
ground and unground, raw and cooked Oats
we prefer ground fine, as otherwise the bulls
are too harsh and bulky. With wheat bran
and mlddlings, wheat in the kernel, barley
and buckwheat, there need be no difficulty in
avoiding monotony. Rye, though the poor
est grain of all, may be given occasionally, and
brewers grain, if convenient.-The Poultry

HINTS ABOUT BAKING.-The most dificnlt
Of the young housekeeper's duties is that of
baking. Food prepared in the best manner
may be ruined by fire which is either too
hot or too slow, during any part of the Pre-
cess.
There are countless recipes for the prepa-
ration of food, but very little instruction. as
to the manner of baking it, Each one must
learn by experience, and there are more pro-
voklng failures in that direction than in anv
other; and some, although they may learn
the TACT, never learn the why's and where
fores of success.
| used to think that to bake ANYTHING well
the oven must be as hot as it could be with
out burning the article to be baked ali
the time 1t was baking. This is not the
case with anything except crackers and
cookies. For biscuits the oven should he
equally hot when they are put in, but should
begin to cool little before they are taken
out; this makes them very light. but one
has to watch to prevent their being scorcbed
eight minutes are enough to bake them II
baked with such fire as that REQUIRED for
bread they are heavy.
For gems made of Graham -four and water
or tor corn br' ad, the oven shonld be yerv

9 me ll~e before they are put IN, and begin

One of the most extraordinary things in
this world is the conduct of a hen CD the
approach of a team. If she is standing in
the way at the time. she remains there,
and you instinctlvely stop your horse, only
to discover that she is safely out of the
way And if she is one side of the road
she Immediately dashes into the center,
and brings up again, while the cold sweat
forms on your back at the thought of the
damages. And it is little singular that
while you are confident that you never saw
a hen run over, nor ever heard of such a
thing, yet no number of trials can keep
back the perspiraton from your back, or
prevent your drawing up your horse to
the imminent danger of his hind legs.

THE HABIT ON READING-" | have no
time to read, is the common complaint,
especially among women, whose occupa-
tlons are such as to prevent continuous
book perusaI. They seem to thi nix, be-
cause they cannot devote as much atten-
ton to books as they are compelled to de-
vote to their avocations, that they cannot
read anything. But this is great mistake.
1t is MT the books we finish in d sitting
which always do the most good. Those
we devour at the odd moments, half
dozen pages at time, often give US more
satisfaction and are more thoroughly di-
gested than those we make particular eff
fort to read. The men who have made
their mark in the world have generally
been the men who have in boyhood formed
the habit of reading at every available
moment, whether for five minutes or five
hours.
1t is habit of reading, rather than the
time at our command, that helps us on the
road to learning Many of the most cul
tlvated persons, whose names have been
famous as students, have given only two
or three hours day to their books. II
we make use of spare minutes in the
midst of our work, aud read little, if it
be but page or paragraph, we shall
find our brains quickened and our toll
lghtened by just so much increased salts
faction as the book gives US. Nothing
help along the monotonous daily round,
SO much as fresh and striking thoughts, to
be considered while our hands are busy.
a new idea from a new volume is like oil
which reduces the friction of the machine
ry of life. What we remember from brief
glimpses into books often serves as slim
illus to action, and becomes one of the
most precious deposits in the treasury of
our recollection. All knowledge is made
up of small parts which would seem nsig-
nticant of themselves, but which, taken
together, are valuable weapons for the
mind, and substantial armor for the soul.
" Read anything continuously says DR..
johnson, . and you will be learned" The
odd minutes which we are inclined to
waste, if carefully awaited of for instruc
ton, will in the long run make golden
hours and golden days that We shall ever
be thank full tor.-Scribner's Monthly.

BLOWING BUBBLES" Blowing bubbles
is fine fun, isn't it? " says Professor Tyrall-
" All. you young gentlemen who are begin
ming to wear shirt collars and to cipher in
fractions, and you young ladies who are
learning to be fond of croquet, need not
smile so scornfully at the idea of soap
bubbles, because you think yourselves be-
yond it. How many years is it since you
dabbled in the soapy water, and cried over
broken pipes? Now, if you want to
amuse your younger brothers and sisters,
let me tell you how to make soap bubbles
that will look beautiful and last a good
while. You need not actually make the
bubbles for them, but you can prepare the
mixture Here it is-try it: Dissolve
quarter Of an ounce of CASTLE or oil soap.
cut up in small pieces, in three-quarters of
pint of water, and boil it for two or three
minutes, then add five ounces of glycerine,
When cold, this fluid will produce the best
and the most lasting bubbles that can be
blown. They may not last SO. long as the
Chinese wall, but they will last longer than
common soap bubbles, and will make a
good deal CT sport for the wee ones"

A LOCAL KNOWLEDGE OF FARMING.-There
are truths that apply to all soils. But there
are also truths, and they are many, that apply
only to localities, and these differ according
to the locality. Hence, book knowledge has
only a general application. There must be
knowledge of the particular soil worked.
This can only be acquired by practically
working the soil and noting is effects. An
alysis will acqualnt us with the material OF
which the soil is composed. Yet there is
something beside this that is important
some OF this Is known, and some is entirely
IN the dark. Who knows, for instance, what
causes the superior quality OF tobacco raised
IN some soils apparently the same as the con-
tiguous land, which produces an inferior
kind? This Is common IN the island of Cuba,
where our best tobacco Is grown; also an IN
terlor quality. So, eminently with grapes
The same grape does much better in some
sections-this often independent of the eli
mate. The grape (some sorts) will also grow
thrifty but bear little in some sections; in
others do remarkably and uniformly we'll
improving the quality. There is some ele-
ment unknown that has an effect. All this,
and much more that might be said on this
head, show that soil, IN order to know its
capacity, must be tested. Hence a local
knowledge OF farming is indispensable TO sue
cess. Books point only in a general way.
complete science of agriculture requires a
knowledge of all the localities, as science is
the result of knowledge. 1t will therefore
be seen how much there is to do for the farm
er; he must rely upon himself, see and note
accurately. have seen this beautifully IL
Illustrated in cases that know of. Only the
best heads are the best farmers; and these
not necessarily the best educated, but always
those having the best acquaintance with the
soil. The two, local and a general knowl-
edge, combined, are the highest requisites.
Then thorough work, and success is assured ,
making farming safe, and profitable thing,
as well as d very pleasant and agreeable &C.

a SIMPLE UsE-TRAP-Some of the En-
glish and French gardeners have adopted a
very simple contrivance for catching the
mice that infest their grounds and destroy
the bulbs and other roots 1t is made of a
common brick Cor fiat stone may be used)
raised at one end and held up by thread tied
to two pegs driven into the ground Near
the middle of the thread couple af swclled
and sprouted peas are strung on it, The
mouse crawls under, and in nibbling for the
peas eats off the thread, and down comes the
brick upon him. The advantage of this con-
:rivance is its eheapness, and large num-
Der may be set in short time in all parts OF
the grounds
