Salt-RiSing Bread

4 correspondent of the Household
gives the following receipt for making
salt-rising bread, which is superior to
common yeast bread, and is considered
by some as more wholesome: Put
three teacups of water, as warm as you
can bear your finger in, in two-quart
cup or bowl, and three-fourths of a tea
spoonful of salt; stir in -four enough
to make stiff batter; this is for the
rising, or emptyings as some call it.
Set the bowl, closely covered, in a ket-
tie, in warm water, as warm as you can
bear your finger in, and keep it as near
this temperature as possible. Notice
the time when you "set" your rising :;
in three hours stir in two table spoonfuls
of -four, put it back and in five and one
half hours from the time of setting, it
will be within one inch of the top of
your bowl. It is then light enough,
and will make up eight quarts of -four !:
make a sponge in the centre of your
-four with one quart of water of the
same temperature as rising, stir the ris-
ing into it, cover over with little dry
flour, and put it where it will keep very
warm, but not scald; in three-fourths
of an hour mix this into stiff dough if
water is used be sure it is very warm,
and do not work as much as yeast bread
make the loaves a little larger, and keep
it warm forianother three-quarters Of

Fall Treatment of Sheen.

It is customary to give sheep the run
of the fields till the snow cuts Off their
support. And even after that we often
see them paving up the snow to get at
the grass. The result is, almost inva-
riably, that the sheep go into winter
quarters in a reduced condition. 1t re-
duires, then, extra feed to bring them
up again-grain at that; aud grain is
not generally profitable feed for store
sheep, or at least is less profitable than
other cheaper yet nutritious fodder.
When the fall rains come, cold and
often soaking, and later the SHOWS,
damp and clinging, still worse, shelter
should be prepared for sheep, indeed
they should have access to shelter the
entire summer to avoid the heat as well
as the spring and fall rains; and if they
do not readily take advantage of if they
should be made to occupy it and feed
there. Nothing is so good to feed as
early cut clover hay. If secured as 1t
should be, when Just in blossom quite
tender, it will be relished and if
thrown to sheep often and little at a
time, they will eat it up clean; it will
answer much the purpose of grass, so
that there will be, in effect, no break
from grass to hay. If the hay has been
damaged in harvesting, some additional
feed will be required, such as meal,
roots, etc. The point is to avoid the
rains-which drench often to the skin,
causing the animal to shiver and suffer,
take cold and engender disease, and to
get the flock to go into winter-quarters
in good strong condition. Especially
should young sheep (tegs) have this
hn " nf tho
fall and winter weather is new to them,
and they are more tender than the old
sheep. Aftermath is an excellent food
for them, and can yet be secured. the
season growing it we'll. By feed this,
or early clover hay well cured, nothing
more is needed during the fall and win
ter. Tegs will grow the whole winter
through on this alone, and come out
hearty and valuable in the spring. This
can be relied on as we know by expe-
rience, but the grass or clover must be
secured we'll and when tender, so that
it is relished and its substance made
available. No food is so healthy as
this, the natural feed for sheep and cat
tie. While we are writing this, in the
latter half of August, a long, slow, cold
rain is falling, wetting the heeces of the
focks, to remain wet for day or two,
or longer, should the rain continue. At
the same time there are sheep that we
know of that are safe under cover, chew
ing their cud in content, or at leisure
are feeding on the fresh green hay pro-
viding for them. When the rain is over
they will go out dry and lively, a con-
trast to their feece-soaked neighbOrs.
Care, as applied to stock, is getting to
be understood more and more, it is an
element of vast Importance, second only
to feeding itself. 1t is, in effect, feed,
requiring the less where the treatment
is good, and Vice Uers0. What applies
to Sheep holds good more or less with
other stock Utica Herald.

Safety

After singing, silence; after roses, thorns;
AL the blacklist midnights built DER COLDER
morns;
After Towering, fading bitter after sweet;
Yellow, withered stubble, after waving wheat.
After green, the dropping of the shriveled leaf.
Like the sudden looping of some dear belief;
After gurgling waters, dry, unsightly beds;
After exultation, lowly-hanging heads.
So shrink and shiver at your proffered kiss,
Knowing pain must follow the heel of bliss;
Knowing loss must find me sleeping on your
breast;
Leave me while you love me,-this is surely best
Like blushless flower left upon its stem,
Sweetening the thickness of the forests hem;
Like hidden fountain, never touched of lips;
Like an unknown ocean, never sailed by ships
Thus shall be fairer to your untried thought,

The Social SIMPLEToN-This is
Charles Reade's description of the hero
inc of his novel, called GA Simpleton p
Rosa Lusignan was dark, but dazzling
beauty, with coal-black hair and glori-
GUS dark eyes, that seemed to beam
with soul all day long; her eyebrows,
black, straightish and rather thick,
would have been majestic and rather
severe had the other features followed
suit; but her black brows were sue
ceeded by long, silky lashes, sweet
oval face, two pOutiDg lips studded with
ivory, and an exquisite chin, as feeble
as any man could desire in the partner
of his bosom. Person straight, elastic
and rather tall. Mind, nineteen. Ac-
complishments, numerous. A poor
French scholar, worse German, a
worse English an admirable dancer, an
inaccurate musician, good rider, a bad
draughtswoman bad hairdresser, at
the mercy of her maid a hot theologian,
knowing nothing; Il sorry accountant,
no housekeeper, no seamstress, fair en-
broideress, a capital geographer, and
no cook.

Bloody 0n.laught ON the Board Of SUI
perYisOrs Of Perryvilie, Ark.
One Man d-Eyeitement In the
T0Hn-The Battle the Result
Of a Newspaper Article.

LITTLE Rock, August 20.-The board
of supervisors met in PeuyvilIe on Mon.
day. NIsnes and the former clerk of the
county, backed by four or five friends,
entered the town armed. They had
sworn they intended to kill J. w. L.
Mathews, an attorney of the court, on
account of an article published in the
Gazette rejecting upon them. They at
tackled Mathews in the courthouse,
breaking up the court. Mathews re-
treated into a store and fired uOon his
pursuers, but without effect. A brisk
fire was then opened on both sides, dur
ing which Mathews was wounded, but
managed to escape to the woods.
That evening the friends of Mathews, to
the number of about one hundred and
fifty. entered the room, killing a man
named Trice. Names and his crowd
had left however, as had the sheriff
also, who is understood to be friendly to
Names, and who is now in this city.
After this, the board of supervisors re-
sumed their court. Mathews bad war
rants issued for the arrest Of Names,
Hawbright, the sheriff, and all the
others engaged in the affair, but to
latest accounts they had not been
served. The affair creates great excite
ment throughout the county. Full par
ticulars will be laid before the executive
tonight.
