your corn, being always careful not to burn it
and do not lay in Jumps or too thick together
when drying, or it will soon mould. Around the
stove, or where there is fire, is good place, al
ways avoiding dampness, steam, &c; put in sacks
and hang away IN a dry place, and your corn is
fit for next Winters use. In using you are to
restore it as near as possible to its original state
This is best done by first washing it to get out
the dust and husk, and then thoroughly soaking
in water, the water retained to boil in it.-Rardt

DIR. Love, physician at the City Dispensary, is
an unconscious punster. Yesterday afternoon a
woman rushed into the examining room, at the
City Hall, dragging little girl by the hand, and
apparently in great mental strain. Without
waiting her turn with the regular Batch of appli-
cants, she began:

One of the last as well as one of the neatest
hits made by General Butler, just before the close
of the last session in Congress, occurred during
the famous "dead lock" fight on the Civil Rights
Bill. The question of adjournment was under
consideration, and General Butler had stepped
over to Mr.. RandalPs desk for a private consult,
alton. Butler favored Sunday session. Ran.
dali opposed.
"Bad as 1 am, 1 have some respect for Gods
day." said the Democrat, "and l don't think II
proper to hold session of Congress on that day.
"Oh, pshaw" responded Butler, "dont the
Bible say that it is lawful to pull your OK or ass

First get good kind of cucumber, then pro-
coed as follows: Be careful in picking not to
bruise them, wash them clean; pack them in
stone Jars, as they are far the best, with one
quart of salt to every peck of pickles, and one
and half gallons of water to every five gallons
of pickles; also a lump of alum as large as a
hens egg to every five gallons of pickles. When
your Jar is full, put clean flannel cloth over
them, with weight enough to keep them under
the brine, and keep the cloth clean and free
from mould. Now, in soaking them for use, the
quicker it is done the better your pickles will be.
When freshening, keep plenty of water on them.
Now scald in copper or brass kettle, using weak
vinegar for the purpose, and about enough to to
size of quaiPs egg to every gallon of pickles.
Scald slowly until they get scalded hot, but do
not let them boil take them ont and lay them
in stone jar, using cinnamon or cloves to suit
the taste. Spread one large coffee cup of sugar
to one gallon of pickles over them; then pour
vinegar (not too strong) also over them. This
vinegar will do for use again. If made in this
way they will keep for months, and be as plump
and sweet as the day they were put mp. Your
vinegar should not be too strong, as that would
make them sour and destroy the taste of the su-
gar

To MAKE Corn OYsTERs.-Take three dozen
ears of large young Indian corn six eggs; lard
and butter in equal portions for frying The
corn must be young and soft Crate it from the
cob as fine as possible, and dredge it with wheat
flour. Beat very light the six eggs, and mix
them gradually with the corn. Then let the
whole be well incorporated by hard beating. Add
spoon of salt.
Have ready, in frying pan, a sufficient guam
tity of lard aud fresh butter mixed together.
Set it over the fire till it is boiling hot, and then
put in portions of the corn mixture, so as to form
oval cakes about three inches long, and nearly
an inch thick. Fry them brown, and send them
to table hot. In taste they will be found to have
singular resemblance to fried oysters, and uni
versally liked if properly done. They make nice
side dishes at dinner, and are very good at break
fast.

FRUIT DRYING.-The time being at hand when
this work is to be done, it will be well for those
who sun-dry either fruit, corn, or whatever, to
give the article good heating in an oven before
putting away. Those kiln-dried products are
finished quickly and put away, thus not giving
the insects chance to deposit their eggs show
ing the necessity of giving it heat high enough
to destroy the vitality fthe eggs.
1t is exceedingly notifying TO open . sack of
nice raspberries or something of the kind in the
Winter, and find it full of worms and not fit to
use. We do not do these things ourselves, but
barrels sacks-no such thing. In fact. it is
mostly done ere the fruit is fully dried Try the
heat on them. roasted egg never hatches.-

DARRHGA.-The chilly, changeable weather is
the most dangerous imaginable. The cold raw
atmosphere causes the collapsing of the stomach,
and is one cause of this dangerous and weaken
ing distemper. Too much indulgence in vegeta-
bles at such times is unwise. A very simple
medicine, and one that can be readily prepared
by everybody, is blackberry syrup. But sim
pie medicine, and one which we are confident, if
properly used, would save the lives of large num-
bers of children that are now afflicted with this
disc se is to take handful of strawberry leaves,
and make of it tea, and it will certainly cure.
The leaves can be got at any garden, or of the
hucksters in market. 1t may be perhaps neces-
sary to slightly purge the stomach first 1t is
good also for adults.-N. 7. San.
