sow lag wiIa Rice.

In Minnesota the wild rice thriyes
best in lakes where the water is from
two to three feet deep, and grows to
an average height Of four or four and
a half feet, ripening toward the mid
die Of September. 1t is gathered by
bending the ears over the side Of the
canoe aud wiping off the grain with
sticks. Then the grain, still in the
hull, is placed in kettles over a brisk
fire for fifteen minutes and stirred
rapidly to prevent burning. When
parched it is thrown into blanket
lined holes and trodden. out 10y foot,
then winnowed.
The Indians esteem it highly as
food, considering a bushel Of it equal
for nutritive purposes to FIVE or six
bushels of wheat. They use it to
thicken broth, boil It with pork like
hominy, make mnsh Of it, and bake it.
During the summer lir. Collins has
used it as a regular article Of diet,
and esteems it highly. Experiments
made with the prepared meal showed
that the bread or pudding was much
darker in color than that made from
rye. 1t had q peculiar but pleasant
flavor, and was abundant in gluten.
There have been made attempts to
seed down to wild rice lakes where
it had not grown. These succeeded
best when fall sowing was resorted
to. 4 notable difficulty here was
found in the fact that in these lakes
frequently was found at bottom q
large amount Of nurotted vegetation,
which prevented the seed from ger
minRting and taking root.
Wild rice does not ripen equally,
and the heaps are very loose. Mr..
Collins, who has interested himselfin
the matter, believes that by scientific
and intelligent culture the heads will
become compact. and all The grain
viii ripen atthe same time. BE also
believes that by selecting the grains
from the lower part Of the heads,
where they are tue largest and best
matured, a much more productive
grain may be produced. Wild rice
only averages ten or twelve bushels
TO the acre, while Southern rice
produces City bushels.
The enthusiastic experimenlalist
has secured fifty bushels Of wild rice,
which he intends TO SOW in New
York State. He proposes preparing
a large fold according to the South
ern plan, sowing the seed on dry
ground, aud flooding il as occasion
demands.

ed that | never thought Of it before.
1t is so nice; removes every bit ofdirt

size. They are ready-made and
much better when unfolded, to take
hold, and much easier to wash. Just
throw them in with the brown towels,
as many as you happen to get during
the week, and they come ont clean
and ready to use again.
Another girl pours hot water on
he blades only Of steel knives, and
they wipe easily and do not need dry
ing.
Another one told me the best way
to keep hams and dried beef was TO
pack il in dried salt. We have tried
it several years, with perfect success.
An old salt barrel is convenient. Set
it in some cool, dry place; put a thick
layer 10 the bottom; then pack in the
hams, using the pieces ofdried beef,
ifyou have any for chinking; cover
with salt, then hams and salt again
till the barrel is full. There is not
the least danger from insecta, if The
hams are smoked and the beef dried
and put away early, before the aies
come around; and they are much
nicer TO handle than when put in
ashes or oats, or anything of thai
kind.

ON the Proper Care TO sheep

1t treating upon this subject, the
Lire Stock Journal says that, to
remedy the complaint that sheep re-
quire green food, and will not do well
if kept on dry food for six months in
the year, all we have to do is to grow
roots-turnips, beets and carrots
and keep our sheep growing, in
winter ASSN summer.
Our own experience in sheep breed
ing has been exclusively with the
long-wools and Downs, and we are
much interested in the success Of
these breeds. Bot in justice to our
readers, we are bound to confess that
in our Judgment they are not more
profitable than good MeFinos. In
deed, unless the fleece Of the long
wool varities commands a higher
price in the market than the Merino
woods, the growing of the latter must
be the most profitable. We'haye be-
fore argued that Msrinos will bear
confinement in winter on dry feed
better thin the long-woo!s, and for
this reason, as u winter feed must
be corn and hay, in most Of the stock
growing States where aocks Of any
considerable size are kept, we must
expect, in the fg.urc as in the past,
that the Merino viii be ibe prevail
ing breed.
Where smaller aocks are kept, aud
especially where sheep are bred for
the farmers " matton-the cheap,
est and best meat be can proyide-it
ought to be the best breed for this
special purpose. Here it will pay as
we have heretofore shown, to keep
the Downs, though their fleece is
less profitable than those of other
varieties.
II is also true that for early lambs
for city market, any Of tie English
breeds aud their crosses are more
profitable than the MerinOs. The
difficulty here is te get suitable ewes
to breed the lambs. The pure Downs
or long-woois will cos TOO much,
while most of what We call common
sheep are largeiy efthe Merino blood,
and do not furnish milk enough for
our purpose. BIT ewes, half South
down or halECotswold, would answer
admirably if brei TO full-blDoded
rams of these breeds, for the produe-
ton Of early lambs, which would sell
in New York at seven to ten cents
per pound.

Ola s'otasoes.


Potatoes 10 be good should never
be exposed to the light but be kept
in as dark a place as possible. After
they begin 10 sprout in the spring
they should be taken up from the
bins or heaps and kept in boxes or
barrels. Ifyou have a few barrels
saved out for femily use, instead Of
picking them over ant turning them
over aud spreading them every few
weeks, put them into enough barrels,
SO that you can turn from one to
another. Have one extra barrel, and
once every week turn them all out
from one barrel to another. This
keeps them moving 50 often that the
sprouts cannot grow enough to do
much harm. The sprouts which
come out from the potato use up the
nourishment it contains, and leave il
soft, watery and insipid. By treat
ing thein as proposed above they
may be kept in condition for the table
several weeks longer than by sprout-
ing them, and at the same time save
a deal Of work.

F~attening Hogs.

The hog is accustomed to 3 great
variety Of food. He will eat auimal
and %herbaceous food alike-there is
moth NJ that comes amiss 10 him, and
he thriyes upon all. To select food
for him, then, is not the thing.
Though you can fatten them on one
kind of food, you cannot do it eeono-
mically. Take what breed you like,
and it is economy, in producing the
greatest results from a given amount
Of food-that is the point that
gives The profit in hog husbaBdrv.

A Pneumatic Tube Fcur Hundred
Niles Long.


The following extract describes
The operation Of a pneumatic tube
between Glasgow and London. Prob
ably few OF our readers are aware o.
the existence ofthe process by which
messages and packages are almost
instaniaueously transmitted between
these 80 cities:
81 bsd occasion to send a telegram
to don the other day, and Ia q
few h.iautes received q reply which
led re TO suppose that . serious error
had been committed by my agents,
involving many thousand pounds.
Immediately went to the telegraph
Office. and asked to see my message.
The clerk said, I'VE can't show il to
yon. a. I've have sent it TO london
But | replied, "you must have my
original paper here, VISA 10 see
that lie again said, mo, we have
not got ii; it is in the postoiice in

asked. pray let ms see the paper

well" said he, 'if you must see
it. we will get it back 10 a few min-
utes. but il is now in London" He
rang q bell, and 10 i've minutes or
so. produced my message rvilei up
10 pasteboard.
1t seems that for some months
there has existed q pneumatic tele-
graph betwixt Glasgow and London,
and betwixt London and all the other
principal cities OF the kingdom, into
which the messages are thrown and
sent to their destination | inquired
if I might see a message sent. "Oh,
YES. come round here. He slipped
a number of messages into a paste
board scroll, popped it into the tube
and made a signal. put my ear TO
the tube and heard 4 slight rumbling
noise. for seventeen seconds, when a
bell rang beside me indicating that
the scroll had arrive at the General
P~ostofice, four hundred miles oil
lit almost took my breath away to
think Of it. If / could only go to
Boston with the same relative speed,
you might count on my spending an
evening every week at No l24 Bea-
con street, and returning home to
sleep. Who knows but we may be
conveyed in his marvellous manner
before many years?
Perhaps you are aware that there
has been a large tube between the
General Pcstofice in London aud
the stations in Euston square, in op-
Grafton for a number Of years. The
mail bags for the north are all sent
by this conveyance, so that the Post
Office receives letters up to a few mo
ments before the train leaves, three
miles Of. The transit takes less than
two seconds! Surely, this is an age
Of wonders.

1Eow to Make an orasiet

One Of the last articles from tho
pen of Pierre Blot is given TO the read
Of Harper's Bazar. We copy so
much oft as may assist in preventing
the appearance of those denominations
ofthe table, poor omelets-
ut is Of the first Importance to
bave an omelet pan, and never to use
il for anything else. When the ONE
let is made the pan should be put
away in a dry place upside down;
when needed put it on a slow FIRE,
and as soon as it gets heated a little.
take q kitchen towel, wipe it well.
but never wash an umelet pan, unles:
something unclean happens TO get 10.
to it.
Proportions About one ounce O
butter for four eggs, and q pinch Of
salt.
Process: Salt the eggs and beat
them well with a fork. Have a
brisk fire; put the butter into the pan.
and set it over the fire. Shake and
move the pan every way so as 10
melt the butter as fast as possible,
and without allowing any Of tito turn
brown.
When melted turn the eggs in, aud
by means of a fork stir so as to heap
up the part cooked, allowing the other
part that is liquid to come in contact
with the pan, and so on until nearly
the whole is solidiGed. Then it is
doubled up; that is, one-half is turned
over the other with q fork, eommenc-
ing on the side Of the pan to which
the handle is attached. Then have .
warm dish, which you place on your
left hand; take hold Of the handle Of
the pan in your right, the fingers IN
derneath and the thumb en- the top;
raise the left side of your left hand
so as to have the right side Of the
dish inclined, and then turn the pan
upside down right ever the dish, the
side o. the pan opposite that Of the
handle touching the edge ofthe dish,
and the right hand moving from right
to left so that the upper side of the
omelet when in the pan viii be the
under side when on the dish, and you
have a soft, juicy and tasty omelet.
as smooth as the dish en- which it is
placed.
An omelet cannot BE made too
quickly. Many cooks fail in making
omelets because, by their process, il
is made too slowly, and it is either
dry or burned and tasteless.r

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the f%ollicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
of fculing the hair with q pasty sedi-
ment, il viii keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use viii prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandraff, which is often so un-
cleaniy and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rioas to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but nos harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
