Mr. Editor
have been interested in the articles in
the DENOcRAT on the Awhile Meal Of
Wheat" and as you have asked for
recipes for cooking it, will send you a
little information have gained from cook
Ing 1t for more than twenty years.
1t can be made in loayes raised with
yeast, mixed to a stiff batter aud poured
in the pan without kneading, or with sour
milk and saleratus, and baked in what are
called "gem pans which shorld be made
hot before the dough or batter is put into
them They can be made for dyspeptics
with sweet milk or cold water and put in
"gem pam" when very hot, aud put in a
hot oven.
Ii Is also excellent made D mush and
eaten with sugar and cream, milk, or but
ter and syrup and if there Is any left it
can be cut in slices and fried in butter for
another meal Care should De taken to
have the water boiling when the meal is
stirred in, else it will be sticky. 1t does
not require as much cooking as Indian
mush.
There are other methods Of cooking IT
with which | am not familiar, such as
crackers, pie-crust, &c, but the above are
sufficient for common use. hoping that
the time will come when all shall eat wheat
meal, I remain yours with respect,

rRERs IN PASTURES.

1t has been frequently urged that trees
in pastures encourages laziness in animals
for when such comfortable retreats from
the hot sun in summer are at hand, they
are likely to tarry too long at these places.
While it is true that animal instinct may
not be any surer preventative against In.
discretions in the dumb brute than in man
still we believe that in all ruminauts di-
gestion proceeds more regularly when the
animal is comfortably at rest, than when
subjected TO opposite conditions.
Animals appear TO be disposed 10 seek
the cool shade of tree when the heat is
oppressive. and it is cruel. TO say the
least. 10 deprive them OF this comfort. -
We have always noticed that animals
having a comfortable resting place dur
ing the hottest part OF the day would
feed later at night as well as commence
earlier in the morning; consequently, we
fail to see wherein shade trees in past
ure are detrimental to good health or the
la,tening OF animals, as is sometimes as
serted. There are certainly two sides TO
this question, but the more humane prac'
tice would be TO provide shade, to say
nothing of appearances.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1875-05-11
Shade Trees.
AUNT SALLY.

We regard the following, from the y.
York Sun. as both sensible AMI timely
We wish to say, however, that while there
Is no doubt as to the importance,Of plant
ing shade trees, it Is very important also
not TO overlook the necessity Of well
defined plan or system one which will
not caricatur nature, and cause regret TO
the intelligent observer:
Farmers hold various and widely diff
ferent opinions in regard to the value Of
shade trees upon the farm. Much, how
ever. depends upon a mans early life,
associations. aud education, all Of which
have their influence in forming taste and
loy, for the beautiful in nature or other
wise. Some men can neither see nor ad-
mire ANYTHING except from a unitarian
point Of view, and this perhaps in It's
most circumscribel aspect; tree to them
beiu, worth only what It will fetch for
timber or frewood. These utilitarian
notions are tar too common in all new
countries covered with heavy timber, aud
the habit which Is first formed through
necessity becomes so fixed and universal
that barreuness Of landscape frequently
follows. where an opposite result might
have been secured without cost 10 the
original owners Of the land. The first
generation Of farmers destroyed that which
the next TWO or three restore only in part
and at great expense Of time and money.
Blu, Is these are by-goue follies in the
older States, We have only 10 take care Of
what Is left of the old landmarks, and put
out new trees whenever they are likely to
he valuable or useful and in doing 30
the subiec, Of shade trees upon the farm
should be considered as carefully as their
value as timber, or for the fruit which
they may produce.
The contrast between two regions Of
country, the one with trees judieiously
distributed. and ,hroiher without them,
il sufficient in itself 10 make any man
favor the former The generally sttrac-
tive appearance Of 4 country Is certainly
one Of its strong points and mankind cling
to things Of beauty quite as tenaciously
as 70 those Of strict usefulness and intrin-
SIC value. Nomadic races seldom inhabit
hillv. mountainous, or wooded countries,
for these tend directly to a fxedness Of
purpose, aud a love Of one spot which
we term home. A rock, hill or tree is an
object which clings to the memory Of both
civilized and uncivilized man. This idea
NAV seem somewhat sentimental, but it
cannot be denied that it Is very potent IN
It's influence upon nations as well as COM
munitieS.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1875-05-11
Vow. one word as to terms, &c.

Now, one word as TO terms, &c.
We DO not pretend to claim that We
can sell goods at retail at less prices than
we can buy for at wholesale. We do
claim, however, that We will sell Our
goods at very small margin Of profit,
and We will prove our words By our
works. We are also well aware Of the
fact that "times are hard" money "close"
and hard to get therefore, we very much
prefer to sell our goods for Cash, deeming
it better for ourselves and also better for
our customers, when it can possibly be
done and as an inducement to custom
ers to adopt the rule of Cash Payment on
delivery of goods, We shall, on and after
MAY lst, 1875, make a discount of FIVE
per cent. on all goods sold for cash, ex-
cepting only very few articles of trade
that are now sold as low as they possibly
can be.
We shall endeavor to verify the fact
that, ga nimble sixpence is better than
slow shilling"
In closing, we will simply say, that we
shall ever endeavor to extend to all Of our
patrons, kindly courtesy, fair and square
dealing, and all reasonable accOmmoda-
ton. We most cordially invite all to call
and examine our goods and try our
prices and in order to get low prices,
and FIVE per cent off for cash, all the
"card" that we shall require them to pre-
sent, will be "greenbacks," and no matter
who brings them; for we believe that one
mans money is worth as much as the
money of any other man.

TREES ABOUT FARM BUILDINGS.

\ goodly number Of shade trees about
the farm buildings add much TO the gen
eral appearance Of the place, as also TO
the comfort Of man and beast during the
hot DAYS Of summer. But many make the
mistake ofplanting too many large growing
trees near their dwellings, which in time
exclude both light and air, and cause the
building standing in the shade, to be-
come unhealthy. In cold climates decid-
uous trees should always be preferred TO
eyergreens,when planted in positions likely
10 shade the house, because it is only IN hot
weather that shadeis desirable, and in win
ter all the light and solar heat to be OBJ
tanned are required for both comfort and
health. As 4 rule, We would say, keep
all trees Of larger growth at least one hum
bred feet from a DIV elling house, using the
intervening space as lawn, in which may
be planted small growing trees and shrubs.
Evergreen trees should be employed ex-
elusiyely for ornamentation, or as wind
breaks. but never for shade.
