Hew to Harvest Caster Beans.

As soon as the spikes begin to burst
open, they must be cut off and thrown
into boxes, and hauled to the popping
out place. The manner of gathering is
to make sleigh that will pass between
the rows, having a box that will hold
ten bushels, that beiag load for an Or
binary horse. One horse attached to a
sled On which dry goods box is placed.
will answer. For twenty acres, three
sleds, made of 2x6 stuff, wide enough to
hold the largest sized dry goods box, will
suffice.
Care should be taken to gather up
those that have popped out before rain
as rain blackens them, and they will not
sell as we'll. To prepare plan for them
to pop out, select a clean, smooth, hard
place on the prairie, sloping enough to
cause rain water to flow of freely, 50 that
none will stand or lie dead take sharp
hoes and scalp off smooth all the grass on
a space say 100 by 50 feet, for twenty
acres. This should be swept off clean,
leaving level surface of hard ground.
Then deposit your spikes, leaving Dor
der uncovered Of at least twenty feet all
around, to catch those beans that jump
outward when opening under a hot sun.
About the second or third day they
should be turned, to bring those at the
bottom to the top; steel garden rake
Is the best implement to use about the
fourth or fifth day they are nearly all
out of the burs, and the hauim or straw,
then greatly diminished in bulk, should
be pitched on a pile to give them time
for all stragglers to leave it, and the
beans being set free are found in the bot
tom Of the debris, can easily be raked
clear of the empty burs, and takca away
preparatory to tanning. Any good fan
ming machine will clear them, and when
the yard is clean and solid, very little
earth will 60 with them.
After the beans begin - ripen, the
field sheuld be gone over once or twice
a week till fsest. In hot, dry weather,
they ripen more rapidly than in cool,
wet weather. Children can perfetm this
work, and large family sf children can
aot be mere proftably employed than in
taking care Of . crop of castor beans.
The work is all light. With steady
horse children aay do all the work.

Picking Sumac.

We give the following directions from
the Shoe and Leather Reporter:
1.-THE season for picking sumac COM
mences on the first of July and ends on
the last of September, or with the first
frost for this turns the leaf red, and then
it is worthless. The stems, except the
leaf stems, have no strength, and should
not be gathered. They are full of pith,
and if ground they only absorb the
strength of the leaf and depreciate the
value of the article. Sumac should be
gathered in this way, viz: Break of
the parts Of the bush containing the
leaves. but do not gather the blossoms or
berries. Some sumac gatherers allow
the leaves to wilt few hours in the sun,
while others convey them. Immediately
into the shade or under cover. Cure it
under shelter to preserve its color and
strength; when it is dry put it in bulk,
and when dry windy days set in spread
it out in beds as you would wheat or
oats, on a clean plank floor. Then thresh
it with q fail, when the leaves and stems
will break up fine, and rake out the
large stems and throw them away. In
drying, before thresling, it should be
frequently thrown over with pitchfork
to let the air get to every part of it.
Remember too to take out all the sticks,
stems and berries. The strength is in the
leaf and leaf stem. The grinders of su-
mac are obliged to have ample storage
room as they purchase their supply for a
years grinding in the months of July,
August and September. Care must be
taken to have it thoroughly dry before
packing to avoid spontaneous combus-
ton. Good ventilation should always be
secured after it is packed.

Manufactures are magic in their work.
ing. On the border of the Connecticut
valley lies a territory rocky and wild,
whose people twenty years ago were, like
their fathers of happy memory, poor and
blessed with many children. The hun
cry raven passed it hastily by, and even
the wild fox refused to make its hole in
the hillside. Through this little valley
flowed a tinny brook which bore away to
the Connecticut river the surplus rain
and ill-spared soil, the loss of the latter
causing the rock surface to spead out
wider year by year. A Maine fellow
CHANGED that way, and after frequent IL
bations-not from the brook, but at the
grocery-told the gaping farmers the
brook was their fortune. Some giggled
at this, others shook their heads-ali
agreed that he was either mad or q fool.
Incensed at their verdict he mounted q
whisky barrel, and gave them most SEN
sible talk about cooperative unions.
utilizing water power, etc. When he
ended his speech, they wished they
hadn't laughed. They went to work.
The brook was widened; they damned
it above the village. The farmers pulled
down their old blue stockings, and put
all their hard money into the enterprise
some fifty, some . hundred and some
q thousand dollars. They built their
factories and elected officers. A year
ago We passed thst place. Twenty-one
factories dot that brook, five thousand
people dwell about or in. that village,
which formerly contained q hundred
souls, and that community is one of the
wealthiest and nest intelligent to be
found in the Ratnes state.-Aron Age.

chan e in the Ritual.

Some of our order are impatient at the
time expended in comforting degrees, and
would have that work cut short by hav-
ing only two degrees conferred by the
subordinate granges-the four condensed
into two. We fear that the trouble
about the time expended lies too much
in the lack of efficiency in the work.
Where every officer is thoroughly up in
his parts, very little time need be con-
sumed, and the ceremony is both inter-
esting and instructive. The lessons
taught in limitation can hardly be too
often repeated if they are done with
spirit and energy. The work of organ
izing a grange is an important one, and
necessarily requires time. Our work as
an order has hitherto been one almost
solely Of organization-of work with
comparatively little profit. What profit
we have thus far derived, has been far
beyond what we had right to expect.
How few men in business walks build up
a business of industry in so short time
as the six years in which the Patrons
have been at work. Yet how vast has
been the result. We are not in the full
tide of success but let us not hold back,
or cease our labor. The work of cristal-
ization-of placing the organization on
sound working basis-is not fully over ;
hence, let US be careful how we disturb
the foundation on which we have so sue
cessfully built. Let us not endanger the
superstructure by removing or loosing
single brick.-Pdcifc Rural Press.

Self Reliance the Key t. Prosperity.

The southern section of the Union will
never become prosperous country until
she becomes more self reliant and sell
protective. She may recover, and now
rapidly is recovering, from the political
vassalage of the past decade. But how.
ever freed from outside circumstances,
she must look to her own financial pros.
perity by raising her own manures, her
own supplies, and manufacturing hei
own raw material. Look at the cotton
factories Of the state of Georgia-the EN-.
pire state of the south. Whefe. in any
country, can you find such handsome
dividends as are paid there? And if it
holds good in Georgia, why not in every
southern state for in nearly every one,
nature has furnished free and cheap mo-
tive power in abundance. We buy
everything, from . broom to sewing
machine, and rely upon our great king
cotton, to adjust al our balances. Now,
how can this be, when the fertilizers
alone consume the greater part of the
proceeds?
Not one farmer in ten raises his own
meat, while this is great hog country ;
the majority buy corn and fodder and
hay before the season is out at extrava-
CANT prices and heavy freights, and when
his cotton is sold, feels mortified and sur.
prised that he will hardly have enough
left to. commence q new years operations
with. And is it not strange that each
successive year finds him in the same d.
lemma?
We should first have more stock-cat.

Hsasek eepins:

Pipsissiwdy Potts thus discourses on
hot weather housekeeping in the Home
Magazine:
l did some things last summer during
the very warm weather that I never
thought Of doing before, th6Hgh I have
no doubt but other women have thought
Of it and done it. To younger house,
keepers this may be \ valuable sugges-
ton.
Really, I sodid not stand it to cook
three meals q day when the weather was
50 excessively warm 80 I rose about four
o'clock in the morning and cooked the
three meals; and had them all of my
hands BY nine-o'clock. l made pot of
good coffee and another of tea, and put
them in the cellar; boiled choice bit of
sugar cured ham to slice for ditnef, fried
potatoes just as good as knew how with
cream and butter, made sour milk cheese
pies, puddihgs, tArts, jelly roll, stewed
berries and fruit, and boiled a lot of fresh
eggs, and Put all these things on the cool
floor of the cellaf. There was variety
eiiutigh that dinner and tea should not
be bit alike.
Then we took out all the windows,
turned the stats of the blinds to let in
the cool air, opened our outer doors,
sprinkled the porches with cold water oc>
casionally, washed ourselves and dressed
in cool. light clothing, and really we
found those hot days, when the heat
twinkled and the burning dust piled UP
mercilessly, to be brimful ofsummertime
enjoyment. We feltdoubly recompensed
for the trebled duties in the early morn
ing.
If the mother and father of family
have been accustomed all their lives to
their hot tea or coffee at dinner or supper
they will find that the same properties
and the stimulating effects are in those
beverages if taken cold. They are both
better, however, If the cream be dispensed
with they will not taste SO much like
cold coffee and cold tea.
About two hours before dinner, ] put
the tureen of cold fried potatoes out on
the sunniest end of the porch. and COW
cred with tin pan. They were about
as warm as they could have been, under
more favorable circumstances, at the
second table.
Dishwater, did you say, tidy housewife ?
Oh. 1 thought Of that and let the god Of
day heat it for me he did it just as we'll
as the fire would. I put cold water in
the dishpan, and stood it on hot stone
out in the sunshine, and it was almost as
warm as l could bear my hands in. Nice
wasn't it?
Sometimes We have lemonade instead
of tea /; but if one is accustomed to the
cup of tea, lemonade is poor substitute
indeed. Better have one good cold cup
tea, without cream, and we'll sweetened.
This is advisable if you are going on a
journey, and cannot get hot tea at your
usual meal time.
If we women manage a little, we can
make positive enjoyment and real good
come out of burdens that 9TH
erwise would be found wearisome and
oppressive. 1 think it is so good, when,
with comfortable surroundings merely,
We plan, and contrive, and create, and
make untoward circumstances work to-
gether for good to us and ours.

fho Need Of Acids.

When much fat pork is eaten there will
always be . demand for pickles or vine
gar. The demand for acid is a genuine
call Of the system, but there is no espe-
cial call for strong acid, such as raw lem
ons and pickles, if one has from day to
day the proper supply of moderately sour
fruit. Half of the doctors would find
their occupation gone if apples were free
~ used as an article of food. Fruit has
never done us the good it might have
done, because it has been eaten at inn
proper hours, between meals, or in the
evening. 1t has actually been turned
into foe to good digestion by the pro-
cess of picking and preserving. The
old fashioned "pound for pound" pre-
serves are too sweet to serve the purpose
of acid fruit, and too rich to have the
nourishing effects Of juicy, sweet fruit.
They are simply sweetmeats, to be eaten
with caution. Canned fruit is excellent,
but fresh fruit is best whenever it can be
obtained. The good effect of fresh fruit
is often spoiled by the excess of sugar
used with it.
When there is a craving for sour food,
for pickles or for lemons, it is generally q
strong indication that the system has a
real need of acids. and lemons or vinegar
are sometimes the best medicine to cure
biliousnese and restore failing appetite.
A year ago saw child pass through
one of these poor spells. He lost his ap-
petite, and could not bear the sight or
smell of food, until he caught sight of a
dish of dried apple sauce, and then he
was possessed with a desire for some Of
the juice. This seemed to refresh him,
and he ate, fur his next meal, bread
soaked lii the juice of stewed dried ap-
Piles. After that canned tomato, cooked
with bread, helped forward the cure.
Before this i'll turn, he had, for few
weeks, lived almost entirely without
fruit contrary to his usual habit.
1t is d common mistake to use fruit at
the table only in the form of sauce at the
evening meal, or encased in rich crusts
as pie for dinner. In the latter case the
i'll effect of the pie crust is often greater
than the good effect of the fruit inside
the pie. As for the fruit sauce on the
tea table, it is better than a heavy sup
per of meat, but there is some sense in
the old saying that "Fruit is golden in
the morning, silver at noon, and lead at
night"
Perhaps any kind of fruit or vegetable
may be used to excess, or In too large a
as compared with the rest of
the diet. Certainly acids should be used
in moderation, especially the strong kind.
Because the juice of lemon may be an
excellent cure for billiousuess or aatu-
lence or other disease, it by no means fol-
lows that school girls can thrive upon
their daily usc. In former days, when
pale and slender maidens we're in fashion
it was not very uncommon for silly girls
to try to reduce their weight and ruddy
hue by frequent sips of vinegar, and
many feeble woman and many an ear
" death has been the result of such tam
pering. A variety of vegetables and
fruit, we'll cooked and eaten as appetite
calls for them, will satisfy the natural
for both sour and sweet food
