Stick to the Farm.

Let the boys be encouraged to
stick to the farm, unless they are
stupids. The most active and ener-
getic boys and young men arc needed
as the til1ers of the soil. If farmer
is SO unfortunate as to have crazy
headed urchin, of one idea, the chap
may be for minister; but do not at
tempt to make a farmer of him. In
case boy cannot be induced to love
manual industry, let HIM study law.
Lawyers can be moulded out of al
most any inferior material. If he
likes to read twaddle and nonsense
more than science, furnish him with
quacks pill-bags, and tell him the
wide, wide world is before him. All
the powers of the universe cannot
make farmer Of him.
For farmers the country wants the
most energetic, thoroughgoing and
wideawake boys and young men that
can be found. Hence, If a boy is
blessed with that browning concom-
liant which moves the world-brains
let him become farmer. Brains
constitutes the great desideratum of
agricultural science, at the present
day. Fifty years ago, muscle was
the essential requisite. Fifty years
ago farmerwa expected to perform
every manual operation of the farm
by the exercise of muscular force,
while at the present day he needs
brains more than muscle to enable
him to manage labor-saving tools and
implements with skill and efficiency,
When the labors OF the farm were
nearly all performed by the laborious
and fatiguing application of human
force, farming was lrksome drudgery;
but now, when teams and steam pow
cr respond to the bidding Of the tiller
of the soil, agriculture is the most
agreeable livelihood that one can de-
sire. True, at some seasons of the
year farmers are required to labor
early and late for several days. Then
again, perhaps, for week, they will
have easy times. We do know from
long experience, that there Is no
class of citizens that has as easy
times and so much leisure as the
farmer, provided he is judicious
manager. Now, boys, you are to be
the men alter few more years have
passed away. Make up your mind,
deliberately, to be farmers. Procure
some of the best agricultural books
and subs cribe for some of the leading
agricultural journals, and improve all
your leisure hours in acquiring useful
information, Let your fixed deter
mination be to rise in the scale of be-
ing to the dignity of an intelligent
and thoroughgoing tiller of the soil.

To make good mullins, take one
pint of flour, one-half pint of milk,
one egg, one teaspoonful of sugar,
one teaspoonful of yeast powder, and
little sat.
Steamed Apples.-Pare and halve
good, sour apples, remove the cores,
and place them in steamer over a
kettle of boiling water; when tender,
serve with sugar and cream, and i'm
agine they are peaches.
John Shattuck says if the skin on
the inside of cows ear is of a rich,
yellow color, the COW will surely give
good quality of milk, rich in butter.
He had never known this sign to fail.
Others confirm this, and say that a

Composition Cake. - This recipe
will do also for jelly or cup cakes.
Take two cups of sugar into which
rub half cup of butter; add the
yolks of four eggs, then one cup of
thick, sour cream, one-half teaspoon
full of cream tartar mixed with two
and a half cups of flour. Beat the
whites OF the eggs to froth and add
them last. Bake about thirty min
utes.
Mock Chicken Fricassee.-Take Il
fine, fat veal shank, and with pint
Of water allow it to simmer until per-
fectly tender; remove the large bone,
season to taste, and add two table
spoonfuls of -four, smoothly blended
with teacupful of milk. When
thickened, pour the whole very hot
over a wcll-beaten egg and a half
teacup Of parsley. Stir well and
serve. On no account allow the egg
to boil.
The best way to clean blankets is
to put two large tablespoontuls of
borax and pint bowl of soft soap
into a tub of cold water. When dis
solved pat in a pair Of blankets and
let them remain there over night.
Next morning rub them out and rinse
thoroughly in two waters, and hang
them out to dry. Do not wiring them.
This recipe will also apply to the
washing of all kinds of tlannels and
wooden goods. 1t is equally useful
in washing lace curtains and mosqui-
to bars. Remember not to wiring the
article washed, and invariably use
cold water.

Damp cellars and decaying veg
ctables In them are productive of
much ill-health. If cellars could be
entirely dispensed with i'll dwelling
houses it would be an excellent
shange from the present system; but
so radical an innovation will hardly
meet with much favor, especially
from those whom it would benefit
most-farmer's wives. If the cellar,
how ever, is a necessary evil, it can be
rendered much less of an evil than it
is at present by careful attention to
it's freedom from decaying substances,
and by making it perfectly dry and
ventilating it thoroughly. Dryness
may be secured by thorough system
of drainage, and ventilation by an
opening into the chimney, (Which
should in all cases be built from the
cellar up), and by other openings IN
to the air, connected with the cellar
floor by pipes Of a sufficient capacity
to keep up a thorough circulation
and frequent change Of atmosphere
