FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Domestic Hints.

Potato CAKEs.-Roast some potatoes
in the oven when done, skin and pound
In mortar with small piece of butter
warmed in a little milk; chop shalot
and little parsley very finely, mix we'll
with the potatoes, add pepper and salt,
shape into cakes, egg and bread crumb
them, and fry light brown.
FRIED CAULIFLowER.-Pick out all
the green leaves from caulifower and
cut off the stalk close. Put it, head
downward, into saucepan full of boil
ing, sailed water. Do not overboil it.
Drain it on a sieve, pick it out into
small sprigs, and place them in deep
dish with plenty of vinegar, whole pep
per, salt, ald few cloves. When thew
have laid about an hour in this, drain
them, dip them in batter, and fry in
hot lard to golden color.
BREAKFAST ROLLS. Mix half an ounce
of sifted white sugar in two pounds of
the finest flour make hole in the
center, and put in about two tablespoon
tuls OF fresh yeast, mixed with little
water let it stand all night; in the
morning add the yolks of two eggs, a
piece of butter the size of walnut, and
sufficient warm milk to make it of right
consistency !; divide into rolls (about
twelve or fourteen); bake half an hour
in brisk oven.
PREPARING PEARS. Here is a good
recipe for preparing pears for dessert
Take finest pears just ripe, just cover
with water, simmer till tender, but not
IN the least broken; Lift them out into
cold water. Now measure the water YOU
have simmered them in; to each half
pint put one pound of sugar; boil up
the syrup, then simmer the pears for five
minutes; repeat this for three days, but
allow ten minutes simmerinp the LAST
day; keep the pears in the syrup the
day before they are wanted remove from
the syrup and dry in very cool oven.
RICH PLUM CAKE.-Quarter peck
finest flour, one pound of loaf sugar,
three pounds of currants, one pound Of
raisins chopped, one-quarter ounce Of
mace and cloves, grated nutmeg, pee
OF lemon cut fine, half pound Of
blanched almonds, beaten with rose OF
orange-fower water; mix thoroughly
then melt two pounds of butter in rather
more then pint of cream, put to il
twelve eggs, yolks and whites beaten
apart, and half pint of yeast strair
this into the dry ingredients, beat full
hour, butter your hoop, throw in plenty
chips OF citron, lemon and orange candy
as you put in your batter; bake moder
ately quickly. I.
The Best Breed Of Poultry.
The editor of the Poultry World Sums
up this question thus: We have bred
nearly all kinds, first or last, and bring.
ing it down to a fines thing we have
found thot, taking the year through, the
Asiatics will lay as much in value on an
average as any of our domestic varie-
ties. For numbers of eggs the Leg.
horns will excel the others, perhaps, in
twelve'month. The French fowls lay
good-sized egg, but not so many as
either of the other varieties. The
Dorkings crossed with the Brahmas give
good-sized chicken the first year, and
this makes an excellent farmers fowl.
But the crossings of the various Leg.

Little Benny.

Ihsd told him, Christmas morning,
As he sat upon my knee,
Holding fast his little stockings,
Stuffed as full as full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With a face demure and mild,
That old Santa Claus, who filed them,
Did not love naughty child.
But we'll be good, won't we, moder ?"
And from of my lap he slid,
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stocking hid;
While turned me to my table,
Where tempting goblet stood,
Brmming high with dainty egg-nog,
Sent me by neighbor good.
But the kitten, there before me,
With his white paw, nothing 10th,
Sat, by way Of entertainment,
Shaping of the shining froth
And in not the gentlest humor,
At the loss Of such treat,
confess, rather rudely
Thrust him out into the street.
Then, how Benny's blue eyes kindled
Gathering up the precious store
He had been busily pouring
In his tiny pianafore,
With a generous look that shamed me,
Sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing by his mien indignant,
All a baby's sense Of right.
Come back, Harvey !" called he, loudly,
As he held his apron white
You shall have my candy wabbitw
But the door was fastened tight
SO he stood abashed and silent,
In the center Of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Bent on me and on the floor.
Then, as by some sudden impulse
Quickly ran he to the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames go high and higher,
In brave, clear key he shouted,
Like some lordly little elf
"Santa Klaus, come down de chimney,
Make my moder have herself.
twill be good girl, Benny
Said l, feeling the reproof
Aud straightwav recalled poor Harvey,
Mewing on the gallery roor.
Soon the anger was forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they gamboled meath the live oaks,
Till the dusky night came down,
In my dim, fre-lighted chamber,
Harvey purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me,
knott to say his evening prayer;
God bless fader-God bless moder,
God bless sister then pause,
And the sweet young lips devoutly
Murmured:. "God bless Santa Ksus y"
he is sleeping-brown and silken
Lie the lashes, long and meek,
Like carressing, clinging shadows
On bis pump and peachy cheek;
And bend above him, weeping
Thankful tears-oh, Indebted
For woman's crown Of glory,
For the blessing of child.

Farm Work.
To produce a given amount OF farm
products from poor land requires a
given amount of labor and other ex-
pense. To produce the same amount
from land sufficiently well enriched re-
quires only one-third of the same
amount. Consequently the expense of
labor is reduced, and as the demand is
reduced by that great law of demand
and supply, the price and labor must GO
down with it. But the benefit of the
scheme does not stop here. The farm
produce, when put in market, has cost
its producer only one-third of its former
expenses, so there is gain of two
thirds of the price of the produce.

THE tug J. J. Hagermann returned to

Rivers Point, having failed to release
the schooner La Sale, ashore there.
Two steampumps were staretd on the
wreck Wednesday morning and had lit

sand washed out of the open seams and
she settled back into her old position.
4 telegram was sent to Manitowoc for an
additional steampump, and reply re-
ceieyed that it would be there by noon.
The Hagermann remained at the Point
until about p. NJ. but no pump came,
and, a sudden storm arising, it was re-
solved to remove their traps and aban-
don the job. This proved no easy task,
and, after taking off one pump and the
sthree men who were on board, the tug
~as compelled 10 seek shelter, leaving
the other pump behind. The expedi-

The ladies' of East Hampton, Mass. q,
have adopted q novel and effective meth
Cd of enforcing the town ordinance rela-
tive to cleaning snow from the side
walks. Sixteen indignant maids and
matrons, duly armed with shovels, made
an attack upon the neglected walks in
front Of the Seminary building, and in
less than no time had the STOW nicely
cleared away. The Seminary authorities
felt cheap, the citizens applauded, and
the ladies, looking all the more charming
for the outdoor exercise, were delighted
with the success of their project. We
have some misgivings abont the propri-
ETY. Of publishing the above, fearing that
the naughty men in this city viii hold
back in the hope that the ladies here
will follow the example of their Massa-
chusetts sisters.

THE COUNTY ASSESSMENT.

ED. TRIBUNE.-Allow me, through
the columns Of your paper to call public
attention to the erroneous assessment of
| the several towns of this county in the
town assessment by the assessors, and
then in the county assessment by the
County Board of Supervisors. In the
are incompetent to an adequate discharge
of the duties required Of them by law,
thereby making their assessment regard
| less of law or justice to the tax paying
citizen. Then it IS under such great
| difficulty and expense that a tax payer
can receive redress in our courts, that it
is better to submit TO the most exhorb;-
| tant injustice in taxation than seek the
remedy i'll court. thereby putting Il
premium on rascalitY by one party dup
| ing the other IL al assessment. Still,
the troubles do not end here: then come
! the several corporations and join issue
on the County Board, to see which cor
poration shall have to pay the least share
of the burdens OF the county and State,
all the Chairmen vieing with each other
to get their respective towns as low in
assessment as possible, regardless Of
! law or equity, as it is impossible for
each to say correctly what his proper
| Committee on Assessment has no proper
and just basis to work their assessment
| from, as the assessors have not perform
ed their duty. The Assessment Com
| mittee goes to work and makes its as
sessment by superstition, which is in
many instances quite outrageous against
some OF the corporations, thereby com
pelling them to pay mora than q jus
proportion of taxes. There is one more
great point that is neglected by the as
sessors-that is, the amount Of money
| that is let on hire at from ten to twenty
per cent. per annum and not five per
cent Of such money ever gets into the
tax roll of the several corporations,
thereby escaping its due proportion of
| taxes, which the balance of the tax-pay-
ers must make up by proportionate
share of extra taxes, which is a gross in
justice perpetrated on the tax-paying
public. Taking it altogether, the assess
nent is fraud on the taxpayers, and
action should be taken at once by the
District Attorney to have the remedy
applied to the proper parties that is,
compelling the assessors to fulfil tie
dulles they have sworn to execute, or
suffer the consequences of their wilful
neglect of duty. Otherwise our assess
ment is disgrace and q fraud on our
boosted laws of liberty and civilization.

some action is taken which will result in
making assessors have some regard for
truth and honesty in making their re-
ports. As he says, the committee in

THE farmers can usually designate the
liberal merchant by referring to the
county paper and seeing the length of
his advertisement. A liberal advertiser
is generally liberal in all of hiss business
transactions. IF the farmer buys all his
goods of the merchant and sells him all
lis produce thereby giving him a chance
to make living, don't il seem to the
farmer that the merchant should support
the county paper, that works hard and
faithfully for the growth Of the county,
enhances the value of their property and
brings in immigration, that the farmers
and merchants may have better chance
to make q living !-EIr.
