BLACKBIRDs AND KoBINs Va. ENGLISH
SPARRows.-A gentlman who gives consd
erable attention to birds, tells rs that recent
ly he has notices the operations OF u nun Der
OF robins and black birds OIL some trees
along srket street, above Thirteenth.
These birds eat the worms and grubs from
the trees with avidity. while the famous
English sparrows which we're brought into
this country tor this purpose solely, were
scarcely found In the trees, but picked their
subsistence from the streets. From these
observations the gentleman Is convinced
that robins and black birds are far super rior
to English spsrrows in relieving trees OF

CASH PLAN ADOPTED.

The postage law, which goes into operation lst
of January, 1875, requires prepayment on all
newspapers sent through the mails beyond the
limits of the counties in which they are publish
cd. We have, therefore, determined to adopt
the CASH PLAN for all subscriptions. While
avoiding the losses, tardy payments and ex-
penses of collection incident to the credit sys-
tenn, we will be required to prepay the postage
The change determined upon will, therefore,
prove beneficial to both subscribers and publish
er The former will be relieved Of the postage
tax whilst the latter will be enabled to simplify
the operations of his business and to improve
the facilities for conducting it.
No name aoiH be entered unleSS the su6scrlp-
ton is paid for tn ADVANCE
During the past few months every subscriber
in arrears has been furnished, through the mails
with statement of his account. Many have
responded with remittsnces discharging their
liabilities and paying in advance for the current
year. We appeal urgently to those who have
not made similar response to do so without
further delay, us after the first of January, 1875,
we will commence to discontinue the paper to
those WHO have not paid in advance The time
within which all in arrears can close up the bal
snces due and make an advance payment is am
ple and We fatter ourselves that but few names
will be dropped.

to entertain company of bar-room sitters with

down deer The ground, he said, was cover
ed with six inches of snow, on which the rain
had fallen aud been frozen, forming g. crust
sufficiently strong to bear his weight. ln the
morning he discovered the, tracks OF deer
and started after it, with the determination OF
running it down. After describing the course
taken, and detailing the different incidents that
occurred during the chase, he said that about
noon he felt somewhat weary and hungry, and
standing his gun against a fence, be jumped
into coru-6eld and pulled some roasting ears,
on which he proposed to make meal; what,

The two following excellent English re
ccipts, for sailing beef, arc highly recon-
mcnded:
TO four gallons Of water add as much salt
us will bear the weight Of an egg; when the
salt is dissolved add one ounce of S0lpruHcYd
and three ounces of Saltpctre and half pound
fair sugar. Boil and skim well. Strain Oft
and when cold, put in the beef, mutton, pork,
tongues, ETC. taking care to cover the meat
well with the pickle. In nine or ten days it
will be fit for use, but may remain Il month
without being too salt.
Mix well together the following ingrcdi-
ents SIX pounds Of salt, two pounds of
brown sugar, a quarter Of a pound Of salt
pctre, and half pound of allspiCe. With
these proportions | have fully spiced two
rounds of beef and two aitch-boneS. For Il
larger quantity Of meat add in exact proper
tons. Rub well all over each day for week :;
after this each alternate day. Turning it in
the pickle every few days will be sufficient for
the rest of the time it remains in it. This
,picing gives the outside of the meat dark
color, but tlavors it cXccllcntly. All meat
should be stepped in cold water for night
previous to cooking It, Meat so spiccd will
hang well for Il week or two, if not required
for Immediate use.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Care OF Honey Bees In Winter.

Many successful apiarianS contend that
there is no better way 10 winter honey bees
than to allow the hive TO remain isolated III
the yard where they have been kept during
the summer and autumn; and they point to
thir success in many years past Tor reilaDic
evidence TO cOrrob0ratc the correctness OF
This assertion. The fact that honey bees nave
ben kept satisfactorily in the foregoing man
ner does not prove that such pracuce can
be RECOMMENDED as the best under all clrcum-
stances; for hundreds of apiarians have
attempted to keep their bees without proper
protection during the winter, and have lost
nearly every skip. There Is one fact in
which all intelligent bcekeepers will agree,
which is, that colony of bees will pass the
winter best when the hive is kept in loca-
ton where the temperature will not be rapidly
affected by the rapid transitions from warm
TO very cold, and rice rerSa. One thing in
particular should be guarded against which
is this: No hive should be placed where it
will be exposed even for Il single hour to the
rays of the sun, When a hive stands in the
sunshine for few hours, the walls will be
warmed up the little workers will be
Cnlivcned and the pleasant outlook will invite
thousands of them to spread their wings and
fly away to the fields. But, before they have
down q hundced yards, they are frequently
chilled to such an extent that they drop to the
ground and perish, as they cannot recover
sufficient strength To return to their homes.
This teaches the eminent importance Of
guarding every hive from the fury Of fierce
winds and also from the cheerful sunshine.
When a hive Is in an isolated place it needs
a cover to turn the rain and snow, aud boards,
rails or brush placed on every side to obscure
the light of the sun and to break the force OF a
cold wind. So long rs the bees are kept In
The shade, well protected, where they can
discover little or no light, the temperature of
The interior OF the hive will be more uniform,
and only limited number will escape from
the hives ana pcrish.-N. Y. HeyNid.
