FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The Children's Pudding--luarter OF
a pound of suct, quarter of "A pound of
| -four, quarter of pound of currants, two
ounces of sugar, two teaspoonfuls OF mo
lasses, juice and peel of one lemon, milk.
Boil in mold three hours.
Oyster Toast-Dry toast, oysters,
butter, pepper, salt. Toast and butter
the bread. Boil the liquor of the oysters
first; then drop the oysters into the
liquor and heat them through. DO not
let them boil When taken from the
fire add little butter and pepper. Pour
while hot on the toast, and serve.
Pudding a la Reinc.-Bread crumbs,
ciron, raisins orange peel, one pint of
milk, three eggs. Butter a mold. Fill
it with fine bread crumbs, with the cit
ron, raisins (stoned) and grated orange
peel put in them Beat the eggs and
put them in the milk. Strain, and pour
over the crumbs Close the mold and
tie it tight. Boil for two hours. Serve
hot, with sauce.
Nearly all plants are propagated by
olips of vigorous growth set in sand,
which is kept saturated with water. Any
one with a common tiower-pot saucer
filled with sand can successfully root
any variety which they wish to increase.
All soft wooded plants, as fuchias, gera-
NUNS, heliotropes, etc, root in from
seven to ten days. Roses, camellias
aZalias, etc, require three or four weeks.
The roller is more valued farm i'm
plement than formerly. Our improved
farm machinery demands smooth sur
faces on the fields. Then farmers have
learned that better blowing can he done
with a smooth surface than an uneven
one, and good blowing means easy after
tillage and clean crops. The roller Is
I \
on the fields of spring grain after sow
ing, and quite likely on the planting
ground. Rolling is SO simple an opera
ton that the common log-roller is about
as good as the more costly tool made of
iron and plank. On fields that are pretty
free of stone clod-crusher, made of
plank fastened to scantling and over
tapping each other like clapboards on
house, answers an excellent purpose.
1t should be about three feet wide and
nine long.-Rmdl NeD Yorker.
Every farmer should have small
room, tight and warm, which he can
lock, and where he can keep his small
tools Then he wants a good, solid
bench, with an iron wise on one side
and wooden one on the other. For
iron working he wants solid piece of
iron for an anvil, a seven-pound steel
face hammer, a riveting hammer, one
large and one small cold chisel, two or
three punches from one-fourth to three
eighths inch, IimIner and countersink,
to be used with bit-stock, Il screw-plate
that will cut screw from one fourth to
three -eighths inch; then with round
iron of the various sizes and ready made
nuts he can make any bolt he wishes.
For carpenter work he wants square,
a shaving horse, drawing-knife, a set of
p1aneS aIIpur from One-half to two inch
es, fine hand saw, with coarse cross-cut
and rip saw, large cress-cut saw for
logs, and grindstone. - Massachusetts

Hard-BOiled Eggs.

g. 1t will surely kill you if you eat that
hard boiled egg. DR. says So" We
| heard a woman say this to her daughter
at hotel the other day. We made no
audible comment, but could not help
thinking quietly how many times we
run the risk of life in the same way And
when at the supper table we saw this
parent eating sponge cake, which was
unexceptionable, We tried to tremble for
her rashness, and wondered if baking the
egg made it more digestible than boiling
| And then we wondered if Dr. Blank ever
said so. And then we remembered how
many times we had heard that DR.. This
and DR.. That had said one thing and
another thing which we knew they had
never said. And we remember the story
| of the three crows that somebody vom-
| tied. And, on the whole, we thought
| that it is not best to trust much to what
somebody says DR.. Blank said:
But, in the first place, about hard
| boiled eggs. We have seen dyspeptics
who suffered untold torments with al
most every kind of food, and torments
of which they did tell after some medi-
cines given for relief No liquid could
be taken without suffering Bread be-
| came a burning acid Meat and milk
were solid and liquid fires. We have
seen these same sufferers trying to avoid
food and drink, and even going to the
enema syringe for sustenance. And we
have seen their tOrments pass away
and their hunger relieved by living upon
the white of eggs which had been boiled
in bubbling water for thirty minutes
AT the end of week we have given the
hard yolk of the egg with the white, and
upon this diet alone, without fluid of any
kind, we have seen them begin to gain
flesh and strength, and refreshing sleep.
After weeks of this treatment they have
been able, with care, to begin upon other
food.
And what medicine?" says DIR. Doser
Why, no medicine. We advised them to
throw physic to the dogs; to avoid it as
poison; that medicine had been partly to
blame for the dyspepsia. But DIR.
This and That think we injured the pro-
fession by talking against medicine. But
we don't mean to talk against medicine. 1t
is very useful thing; sometimes useful
when we give it, and sometimes when
we don't. But we don't mean to use it
when it is not needed, and especially
when something else will do our work
better. Physicians need not fear that
there will not be work enough for them,
and if without indicating, why, SO much
the better.
Thus much for hard boiled eggs Not
half so bad as half boiled ones, and ten
times as easy to digest as raw eggs, even
in egg-nog.
In the second place about what DR.. |
Blank said" We wish to caution the !
reader not TO believe 1.-THE of the state
ments quoted in that way. A set of
busy like to tell what he said |
They misunderstood one-half and invent |
the other. You know that there are |
fools in every profession, but you know,
if you stop to think for moment, that
DR.. Blank is not one of them.-Cor. Bos-

DIR. Picrce's Favoritc Prescription manifests
such a positively remedial influence as to call
forth the loudest praise from all who use it.
Mr.. JOHN A. kinney, druggist, of Knob

The Tape-Wornl.

EIGHT different species of tapeworn
(Ignnia) occur in the human body, Blu
the 4. solium is that which occasions
most trouble to men. 1t is introduced
into the system by means of measly porl
that is eaten raw or UNDERGONE. 1t eX
lists in the embryonic state in the pork
but as soon as it finds its way into ou1
own alimentary canal the embryo, OIL
Cysficercus as it IS then called, attaches
itself to the walls of the intestine and
develops into the perfect worm. In this
condition the parasite consists of head,
a narrow neck and an indefinite series OF
joints or segments extending to the
length of from ten to twenty-five feet,
and at the widest part having a breadth
OF one-eighth of an inch. The head is
globular and not longer than pin-head
Under the microscope the head is seen
to be furnished with four circular suck
ing discs, by which it holds fast to the
wall of the intestine; and also with a
conical proboscis armed with two rows
OF hooks, each row containing from
twenty-four to twenty-eight hooks.
The worm increases its ribbon-like
length by forming new segments at the
end next the neck. These segments in
crease in an ordinary individual from
800 to 1000. At about the 450th Joint
the sexually-mature segments commence
- each one of these eventually be-
uHe. crowded with eggs and capable of
tan,. pendent existence. AS the con-
. .onss u ne segments mature the Joints

whole length is expelled in the mannsss
as when it is killed by the administrative
of a vermifuge.
The tape worm has no mouth by which
to take IN food, but obtains its nutri-
ment from the surrounding medium by
endosmose. In other words, nourishing
juices pass through the skin over its en-
tire surface, in the same manner as
liquids are absorbed by the microscopic
roots OF plants. As the tape-worm has
no mouth, SO it has no alimentary canal.
Each joint takes in nOurishment and
continues its existence quite independ-
ent of all the rest. When it separates
from the parent system it possesses life
and slight power of motion, creeping
over moist ground, plants, ETC.
After time the skin of the separated
segment decays and bursts, liberatinp
the eggs it inclosed. If now, by chance,
these eggs are taken into the stomach of
a pig-and they often are, on grass or
with water, etc.-immediately upon
reaching the digestive canal the embryos
escape from the shell, and, boring their
way through the living tissues of the
animal. lodge themselves in the fatty
parts OF the flesh, where they await an
opportunity for further transformation.
The animal thus infested becomes
measled, Its flesh constituting what is

To the UnmuSicaI.

There is no greater delusion than that
of supposing that the best music can be
enjoyed only by the musical" Ordi-
nary people can derive keen pleasure
from sympathetic listening to great
music if they will but believe that they
can, and SO attend to it accordingly.
There is no need of being batfied by "A
want OF knowledge concerning keys, nor
by an ignorance of meditation. Your
next neighbor may know that the air be-
gan in g major, and then passed into d
minor, but you can still get your own
simpler pleasure out of it. What is it to
me what 1ltian's secret of color might
have been? He had it, and that is enough
Tor one who cannot even draw.
The first rule in listening to music is
to listen. We do not want to arouse our
selves to Il frenzy of delight, but we do
want to hear what the music is like A
very simple and very good rule for those
who are perplexed by an orchestra, and
who fancy they are puzzled to know
where the tune comes in, is to listen to
one instrument, the violins, for instance,
alone for time. These will probably
take up the melody and sing il plainly
enough, then the movement may become
more complicated and the air seem to
have grown more florid, to be broken
perhaps into brilliant fragments, but
hearken.-the violonceili have taken it
up, and over it floats this new and lovely
strain of the violins, then the flutes catch
the melody, the comets and the bassoon
swell the harmony, the drum makes its
beats, the whole orchestra is
alive with the theme, and before you
know it you are in the very center of the
music, and what was before involved
and intricate now becomes plain and
beautiful.-Scribner's Monthly.

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-The medical
profession are outspoken in their de-
nunciation of the system of medical add
yertising, and declare that any medicine
that is advertised is a fraud How thor
Oughly inconsistent and unfair is such an
argument. The men who are so loud in
their criticisms are those who adrertise
themselves as medical saraas by ostenta-
tious display; splendid residences with
massive door plates; fast horses and
costly carriages. DIR. J. WALKER, of
California, an old practitioner, respected
alike for his skill and conscientious indie
pendence, dares to differ; and having dis
covered in his VINEGAR BITTERs--a pure
ly herbalistic medicine, free from all
spirituous poisons-a wonderful specific
for numerous disorders, advertises the
same for the relief of his fellow man,
and is borne out in his declarations of
its many virtues by thousands of in
valids who are being cured of disease
by its use. n

Pettcn@ill, the head of the firm, was trained to
his business under the master of the trade, ="
is a practical printer and publisher, is a man
ofhigh moral character, of marked business
talent, and possesses the strictest honor and
integrity. Hence in the quarter of a century
and little morc-that he has been in bust
ness he has built up the largest business of
the kind in the country or the world. He be
gan business in Boston in 1919; in 1852 ne
went to New York to start a second office, re-
t;ining his interest in his Boston office, and
since that time he has remained in New York.
In 1873 he started a branch office in Philadel-
phia, which is a most successful institution,
a great advantage to business men, though
not by any means so large and important
business house as the New York agency
In all the time that Mr.. Pcttcugill has been
in business he has seldom never had a dis
pute with customer or patron. Prompt in
his payment to publishers, fully posted as to
the needs of advertisers, possessing the con
iidence of all the publishers in the country,
and of nearly all the business men who ad-
vcrtisc, giving his business his constant per
sonal attention, it is no wonder the firm of
5. NJ Pettengill X Co. stand at the head of
their business. And advertisers who would
make the most of their money, who would
be successful and prudent in their advertising,
cannot do better than patronizc the firm.

To MISUNDERSTANDING the past
twelve months, owing to the excessive
stringency of the times and the search
ty of money, occasioned by crop fail
ures and other causes, we have been
very lenient with our debtors, and now
have on our books quite a number of
subscribers who are in arrears, and
some OF them considerably so. In ad-
dition to sending the paper on credit,
we have, according to the newspa-
per postage law, to prepay the postage,
which makes us carry double load,
and adds quite an item to the drain
age of our already depleted treasury.
No man, who will reflect a moment,
can expect US to furnish our paper
upon such terms.
In justice 10 ourselves, we can no
longer do this, and on the LIST of Jan
uary 1876, we will drop the names of
all who have not paid up to, or beyond,
that time, and in future will adhere to
the cash in advance system. Know
ing the difficulty of raising money dur
ing the past year, especially among the
farming classes, we have continued to
send the paper to many beyond the
time paid for, and now we ask them in
return to pay up the old score and re-
new their subscriptions, paying in ad-

stauneh business firms of this city that
we have Inadvertently failed to notice.
We do not do so now because they need

as an act of justice, as journalists, in
making business mention of our enter
prisiDg citizens from time to time. Mr..
Beaumont has been connected with the

has builtup an enviable reputation as
good Judge of the We d and an honor
able, liberal buyer. Mr.. NJ. 81. Ru-

ton to their warehouse, and although
his connection with the firm is of re-
cent date, yet his training from the
older members of his family, who are
well posted in the great staple. renders
him competent in any department of
the work. All who may desire to deal
with this firm may do SO with the full
assurance that they will be honorably
and fairly dealt with. They do large
business, and we trust they may re-
ceive, as they deserve, full reward for
their labor.
