As none of our recipes have been tried with large. coarse veal, the cooking must be regul lated to that circumstance, and longer time allowed should the meat be of more than middhng size.

Pork, and good beef, and choice mutton have doubled in price, and so have eggs poultry, and fruit. Let us be thankful The indications point all in one direc tion, and see clearly written out on the years to come: {. Cash for good farm ers"-" Good farming will. pay better in the future than in the past" Marvel ous have been the improvements in oi1l cities and villages. Wo are great anS mighty nation. But the increase o wealth and population has been greater in the manufacturing dist jets, and 1T villages and cities, than in purely agri cultural districts. Farmers are now tt rep great advantage from this state o
 .ings, especially those who furnish
 better beef, mutton, pork, butter Gheese. and wool. And this means better farming, fewer weeds, richer land larger crops, better stock, and more
 tl,ral feeding-and more intelligent anc
