On Monday of this week family Of
emigrants, consisting of five persons
father, father, and three children-arri-
we'd here, being on their way to Martins
burg, Berkeley county, West Virginia.
They left there Martinsburg) some years
ago and went to the "Far West" settling
somewhere in Kansas. When the grass
hopper plague visited that portion Of the
country they were eaten out of house
and home, and determined to return to
their old abiding place, with the hope Of
again raising their fallen fortunes. They
were in very destitute condition-almost
a starving one-and the horses driven
by them were nearly reduced to skin and
bones. and reminded one of walking
skeletons. The father had travelled the
greater port, of the distance from Kan
sas to this place on foot, the horses hav-
inc barely strength to draw the heavy
wagon and the rest of the family. They
cncampcd during their stay in the field
of Mr.. Elmus Hamilton, and his kind
family supplied them with food. They
were said to be quite intelligent, and give
a pitiable account of their sutferings.
After Il short rest, they again started on
their Journey, having yet long distance
to travel before the end is reached. We
did not learn the names OF the unfortu-
n,tcs-Ed irnont West Tirg,Ridn.

and then shrieked: "Who is dear Ella|
"Who is dear what?' he asked, with

RECIPES, ETC.

TO Keep Lemons.-Housekeepers
know how quickly lemons lose their
freshness and rot. 4 simple and mex
pensive remedy is to place them in a jar
filled with water, to be renewed every
day or two. By this means fruit can be
kept fresh and sound for several weeks.
Remedy for Horse Cough. Take one
pint of wheat bran, wet it with water;
put from five to seven drops of tar oil in
bran; stir it well and give to the horse
twice day, mornings and evenings. 1t
is also good for the distemper; in fact, it
it is good for any kind of cough a
horse may have. The tar oil can be had
at any drug store; it costs but trifie.
Orange Cake.-Five eggs-saving out
the white of One-two cups of sugar, one
half cup of water, grated rind and juice
of one orange, one teaspoonful cream of
tartar, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one
cup of flour. Bake in four cakes, and
put frosting between the cakes and over
the top. For the frosting take white of
an egg, one cup OF sugar, and One-half
the juice and rind Of an orange.
-Carving.-AIthough it is daily duty
for many men and women to cut up meat
for family, there are multitudes who do
it neither well nor wise. The following
suggestions, from an agricultural paper,
on this point may not be out of place, the
more especially to young housekeepers:
To carve fowls, which should always be
laid with the breast uppermost, place the
fork in the breast and take off the wings
and legs, without turning the fowl; then
cut out the merry thought; cut slices from
the breast; cut out the collar bone; cut off
the side pieces, and then cut the carcass
in two. Divide the joints in the leg of
turkey. In carving a sirIoin, cut thin
slices from the side next to you Git must
be put on the dish the tenderloin under
neath), then turn it. Help the guests to
both kinds. In carving leg of mutton
or ham, begin by cutting across the
middle to the bone. Cut tongue across,
and not lengthwise, and help from the
middle. Carve forequarter of lamb by
separating the shoulder from the ribs,
and then divide the ribs. To carve loin
of veal, begin at the smaller end and
separate the ribs. Help each one to
piece of kidney and its fat. Carve pork
and mutton in the same way. To carve
fillet of veal, begin at the top and help to
the stuffing with each slice. In breast
of veal, separate the breast and brisket,
and then cut up, asking which part is
preferred.

Common Sense in Flowing.

TEAMS drawing loads on the road get a
breathing-spe on the descending ground,
while in blowing the draught is the same
from morning till night. There is a GER
tain number of pounds that team can
draw day after day and not WORRY them,
but if more be added, even as little as fif-
teen or twenty pounds, they walk I'M
steadily, fret, and soon tire No amount
of feeding will keep them in condition.
l have seen many plows in use on which
it would have been an easy matter to de-
crease the draught twenty-five pounds.
and if men were drawing them instead of
horses it would have been done. 1t must
be plain to the farmer that every pound
he can take Oft from the draught of his
plOw is so much gained for his horses.
1t may be done in this way: For any
soil except sand or gravel use steel
pillow. Their cost is but little more, and
the draught enough less to pay the differ
ence in plowlng twenty acres. In ploW-
ing sod, the coulter does a great deal of
the work, and should be kept sharp by
forging at the blacksmith's and grinding
every day if necessary. Of course it will
wear out sooner, but new couIters are
cheaper than new teams. Set the coulter
in line with the piow, the edge square in
front, with an angle of torty-fve degrees
from the point to which it IS attached to
the beam.
When the share gets worn short it is
poor economy to use it any longer, but
replace it with a new one. Let the traces
be as short as will allow the horses to
walk without hitting their heels against
the whiffietrees, and have just pressure
enough of the wheel on the ground to
make the pillow run steady. If the handles
crowd continually one way, the draught

How to Solder Holes in a Copper
Tea Kettle.

A domestic left the teakettle on the
stove, where the copper bottom was
heated almost to redness. The conse-
quence was that two small cracks ap-
peared in the bottom, through which the
water issued. so rapidly that the kettle
could not be used. a tinker with his
soldering iron failed to stop the leak after
several efforts. With a small piece of
sand-paper we secured the copper bright
on the inside near the cracks, then pull
verified a piece Of rosin half as large as a
small pea and spread the powder over the
cracks on the bright surface of the cop
per, on the inner side of the kettle, and
rubbed the rosin down with a finger
Then small piece of solder, about the
size of large pea, was laid on each crack,
inside the kettle, and the kettle was
placed on the hot stove until the solder
melted. AS soon as the solder had melt
ed the kettle was removed, and as the
solder began to cool, while it was in a
plastic state, the smooth end of a stick
was pressed on the solder to fatten the
surface. Those cracks were stopped
neatly in a briefer space of time than is
required to write the mlodals operandi of
such a Job. Holes in tin vessels can be
in the same manner without
soldering iron.-N. Z. Herald.

Experience with Peaches.

AFTER nine years engaged in growing
peaches, find the old method of training
the trees so low to be wrong. / find that
peach trees, trained three and half feet
to -four and half feet are as healthy and
not so liable to break when in fruit as
lowtrained trees. The fruit can be
gathered as early, as the branches are not
SO upright, but more spreading. The
peach tree needs clean culture the first
three years after planting, and it is very
difficult to cultivate the trees when the
branches are so low.
have practiced banking the ground up
around the trees in the spring; | find it a
great help to keep the bOrer out. Ashes
and muck cOmposted make a good
fertilizer for the peach, on light, thin Soils
Potash dissolved in water, so it will bear
a potato, is a good wash, but care is
needed in not using it too strong; it can
be safely applied to four-year-Old trees or
older, as far up on the branches as can be
reached from standing on the ground.
Old trees, ten to fifteen years, can be re-
newed by cutting off all the top& when
frozen, leaving the main branches four to
on that are beneath where the large
branches are cut off.
The colder the weather when the top is
cut the more vigorous will be the new
growth in the spring. The peaches for
which l was awarded the first premium
at the American Pathological Society
meeting, held in Boston in September
last, were mostly grown on trees treated
as above, fourteen to sixteen years of age.
The trees are now in as vigorous and
healthy condition as young trees, and the
fruit grown on them is superior to that
grown on young trees.-Del0aoGre Cor.

Raising Sheep Successfully.

THERE is no difficulty in raising sheep
successfully if the necessary care be taken.
This can all the more be secured if but
few are kept. Then there is chance OF
properly seeing to them, and keeping
only good stock, which is the most profit
able. The farmer who has the long
wooded, heavy bodied sheep has great
advantage in his lambs. With a small
Hook it needs but little care to save the
lambs and command early in the season
not only the top price, but more, if the
Dreeu is large, healthy one, and the
lambs come early and are well taken care
OF: The wool also will realize well.
II there is land to be cleared of shrubs
and weeds, or is steep, or broken up so
that the pillow cannot be used, sheep are
the thing to subdue it and establish q
growth of grass. No greater profit can
De realized from such land than by keep
ing sheep. But even where the land is
all tillable, and heavy crops can be
raised, few sheep can, in general, be
kept with advantage, as there is ALWAYS
time enough to see to few sheep. See
to them well, keep only what is good.
providing always there is near and good
market. This, on the principle of carry
ing all the parts in farming, so far as eli
mate, locality, ETC., will admit.
Even during the depressed period,
when sheep were slaughtered in the West
for their pelts, and wool was a drug, there
were farmers who "made it pay' to keep
sheep-they were heavy, long-wooled,
bore large limbs prolifcally, which found
ready and good market, while the wool
-cOmbing wOOl-from such sheep, kept
in the best manner, so as to secure in per-
lection the finest properties to the fleece,
realized something, and could always be
sold, however stagnant and reduced the
market. Then, instead of two or three
pounds of wool per head, fine to seven
were averaged. Those men continued
their sheep with little or no loss-some
averring they realized profit during the
dlscouraging period; and when the
times changed and flush prices prevailed
las is always the case in any branch) they
got the benefit-they were the only ones
there to receive it, the rest having with
drawn, and they have been receiving it
ever since. 1t is not question whether
this or that branch will pay best.
The thing is to carry all the branches
or SIS many as circumstances will permit
to carry to advantage, and continue to do
so whether prices are favorable or not.
Prices VIII regulate themselves through
supply and demand, so that the acreage
will beremunerative, only, however, where
care and discretion are used, and the best
is made of each branch. The success in
farming consists in doing we'll what is
done and this is confined to comparative
ly but few engaged in it, Let the farmer
be one of these few and he will be safe
sure even with sheep as a continuous
branch.-C0r. Utica Herald.
