After drawing the turkey, rinse on! with
several waters and IN next to the last mix a
teaspoOniul of soda. The inside of Il fowl,
especially if purchased in the market, Is
sometimes very sour, and impars an unplcas-
ant taste to the stufling, if not to the inner
parts of the legs and side bones. The soda
will act as a corrective, and is moreover very
cleansing. Fill the body with this water,
shade well, empty 1t out, and rinse with lair
water. Then prepare dressing OF bread
crumbs, mix with butter, pepper, salt, thyme
or sweet marjoram, and wet with hot water
or milk. You may if you like, add the
beaten yolks of two eggs \ little chopped
sausage is esteemed an improvement when
we'll incorporated with the other ingredients.
Or, mnce "a dozen oysters and stir into the
dressing; and, if you are partial to the taste
wet the bread-crumbs with the oyster liquor.
The effect upon the turkey meat, particularly
that Of the breast, is very pleasant.
staff the CraW with this, and tie sUlng
tightly about the neck, to prevent the escape
of the stutling. Then fill the body of the
turkey, and sew it up with strong thread.
This and the neckstring are to be removed
when the fowl is dishcd. In roasting, ityOur
fire is brisk, allow about ten minutes to Il
pound; but it will depend very much upon
the turkey age whether This rule holds good.
-
haste often; t first with butter and water
aftcrward with the gravy in the dripping pan.
If you roast in an oven, and lay the turkey
in the pan, put in with it teacup of hot
water. Many roast always on grating
placed on the top Of the pan, In that case
the boiling water stcoms The under part Of
the fowl, and prevents the skin from drying
too fast, or cral<ing, Roast to fine brown,
and if it threatens to darkcn too rapidly, lay
a sheet of white paper over it until The lower
part is also done,
Stew the chopped giblcts in just enough
water to cove them, and when the turkey is
lifted from the pan, add these, with the water
in which they were boiled, to the dripping
thiCken with a spoonful of Drowned flour, wet
with cold water to prevent Jumping, boil un
once aud pour into the gravy-boat If ihc
turkey is very tat, skim the drippings well
before pUttiag In the glbles,
Serve with cranberry sauce, Some lay
fried oysters in the dish around the turkey.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in one Of his essays,
as follows:
"The glory of the farmer is that, in the
division of labor, it is his power 10 create.
All the trades rest ut last on his primitive
authority. He stands close 10 nature, he OBJ
tains from the earth the bread, and the food
which was not he causes 10 be. The flrst
farmer was the first man, and all historic
nobility rests on the possession and use OF
land. Men do not like hard work, but every
man has an exceptional respect for ullage
and the feeling that this Is the original calling
of his race, that he himself is only excused
from it by some circumstances which made
him delegate it for II time TO other hands, II
he had not some skill which recommends
him TO the farmer, some product Tor which
the farmer gives corn, he must himself return
into his due place among the planters. And
the profession has in all eyes its ancient
charm as standing nearest God, the first
cause, Then the beauty Of nature, the tran
guilty and innocence of the country, his
independence and pleasing arts, the care of
bees poultry, sheep, hogs, the dairy the care
of hay, of fruits Of orchards and forests, and
the reaction Of the WOrkmcn in giving him
strength and plain dignity, like the face and
manners of naturc-all men acknowledge.
All men keep the farm IN reserve as an asylum
in case miSchancc, to hide their poverty,
or as Il solitude in case they do not succeed
in society And who knows how many CLAN
ces of remorsc are turned this way from the
bankrupts of trade, mortified pleadcrs in
courts and senates, or from the victims OF
idlenesS and p!easureE

The Mem Yorker says that the skin Of an
animal, whether COW, cali, colt or horse that
dies on the farm is worth more at home
than at the tanners. Cut it into narrow
strips, and shave off the hair with sharp
knife before the kitchen fire or in your work
shop on stormy days and evening. You may
make them soft by rubbing, a rawhide
halter strap an inch wide will hold horse
better and last longer than an inch rope. 1t
is stronger than hoop-iron and more durable,
and may be used to hoop dry casks and boxes
and for hinges Try it on a broken thill, or
any wood work that has been split Put it on
wet and nail fast. Thin skins make the best
bag strings in the world. A raw hide rope is
good substitute for chain. 1t is valuable
to mend broken link in II trace chain. For
some purposes it may be dressed soft

In America trees are cut down, portion Of
them is used and much is allowed to rcmail
on the ground TO rot. Some trees are planted
for shade or for fruit but few are planted tol
timber tor future use. In the cid country
they do things better, according to an eX
change, which says:
Timber planting is said to be at Least
moderately profitable abroad. The great
timber plant of Scotland is what we know
here as the Scotch pine. This existed in i'm
mense forests through the country, and not
withstanding tie great quantity cut away iol
lumber purposes it is stated on the authority
Of statistics collected by the government that
there is greater number Of acres under
Scotch pine at the present time than at any
Other period in SCotland's history. Beside,
this large numbers of larchcs are planted
which are found very rapid growing plants

England every stuck Of timber is jealousy
