plowed up an acre next to that which had
served me so Ill, let it lie until the next
spring and waited till rich crop of weeds
sprang up, which, when they were five or
six inches high, plowed in and waited
till another crop of somewhat later weeds
were in the same condition; these were
plowed in and afterward third crop of
the latest weeds was served in the same
manner. 1t was then sown with rye and
produced the cleanest and most beautiful
and luxurisnt crop l had ever seen. 1
have no doubt that the three crops of
weeds did the land more good than an
ample covering of barn manure would
have done. The same course essentially
pursued since has been equally success
full. My crop of rye this season was the
best and largest have ever had, and the
straw was the best-perfectly clean.

New Year Thoughts.

AT the beginning Of a new year every
farmer ought to review the past years op-
erations and endeavor to draw from his
successes and failures lessons which will
be of great value to him in the coming
years labOrs. We believe one Of the
most serious obstacles to success, among
farmers, is a want Of close observation
and comparison of results. Very rarely
are accounts kept with fields, crops or
stock, and whether failure or success at
tends any particular venture, causes that
led to them are not sought for. The same
thing is repeated next year, the same err
rors Numbered into, with invariably the
same results. A careful record of sue
cesses and failures of the year, with OBJ
servatlon OF causes, probable or certain,
would help very much in the plans for the
year to come. The time is most favora-
bic for this retrospection and the forming
and perfecting plans for the future. It is
not only the close of year, but it is the
actuai close of a seasons work on the
farm. Every crop has been garnered and
sold, perhaps, even TO the hog crop itself,
and no other entries are required. It is a
season of comparative leisure, also, Civ
ing plenty Of time for this most important
work. No wise man, whatever his occu-
patton, will neglect this cleaning-u proc
ess-this starting anew. Such a system
places guideboards, so to speak, at every
turn of the road, warning of danger or
pointing to safety and success. =.
Good resolutions, promising reform,
are also now in order. There are plenty
Of men who k7a0,o how to do better than
they practice. Hundreds will give the
willing assent of the mind to plain, prac-
teal exhortation on duty, who never go
any farther. If anyone is conscious Of
imperfections in method or practice, let
him now resolve TO amend, and endeayor
to accomplish all that is possible during
this centennial year Of 1876-the Tooth of
American independence. There is no
time to spare. A year passes very quick
~. If we would accomplish good years
work we must not only labor energetical-
y, but thoughtfully, wisely, judiciously,
taking advantage of every help which our
own experience or that OF others Will af-
ford us.-Ohi0 Farmer

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

FEATHER CAKE.-Take two cupfuls of
sugar, three eggs, one-half cupful of but
ter, two-thirds crpful of sweet milk, three
cupfuls of -four, two heaping teaspoonfuls
OF baking powder, flavor with lemon.
| This is excellent.
10 Cook TURNIPs. quite clean,
| do not peel or cut or soak. Boil them
whole in their Jackets" When, by try
ing them with fork, they are found quite
tender, take them up, peel them, press
moderately and mash with butter.
CREAM TAPIoCA-Soak two-thirds of
cup of tapioca in warm water till soft; boil
quart of milk with the yelk of three
eggs, well beaten, and two-thirds of a cup
| OF sugar. Boil till thick, stirring care
fully; beat the whites of the eggs with
two-thirds of cup of white sugar, flavor
and pour on top of the pudding. Set in
the oven to brown. ... -
To CLEAN GLAss.-This mode of clean
ing fine glass gives it great brilliancy:
Take fine powdered indigo, dip into it
moistened linen rag, smear over the glass
with it and then wipe it off with per
fectly dry cloth. AS substitute for this,
fine sifted ashes applied by rag dipped
in spirits will answer just as well. Span
ish white is apt to make the glass rough
and injure it.-American AgrtcuEturist.
PATHS AND RoADs.-Icy paths and
roads are dangerous to man and beast.
After every fall of snow the roads should
be broken down by snow-plow or a
stone-boat, and the paths shoveled out or
packed down in similar manner. A
heavy plank drawn along the paths will
clear off or pack down the snow. Coal
ashes or sand are the best material to
| scatter upon roads and paths when they
become smooth and slippery.
To MAKE BooTs DURABLE.-The dura-
bility of soles of boots and shoes may be
greatly increased by coating them with
gum copal varnish, which also has the eff
feet of making them waterproof Four
or five coats should be given, allowing
each coat of varnish to dry before the sue
ceeding one is applied. Soles thus treat
ed possess twice the usual durability, and
generally outlast the best uppers. The
leather uppers of boots or shoes may be
rendered soft and water proof by rubbing
into them while warm, before the fire, a
mixture composed of four ounces Of hogs
fat and one ounce of rosip.-OAa0 Farmer.
FRENCH RoLLs.-Two quarts of sifted
flour, lump of lard about the size of an
egg, one little larger OF butter; stir into
the flour the same as in making pastry.
When well stirred add blood warm water
or, preferably, milk and water, to mix ;
add little salt, half teacupful of home
made yeast or three tablespoonfuls of
bakers yeast. Mix in the evening as for
bread, and let rise. In the morning shape
them with the hand and board, and let
them rise; ten or fifteen minutes will
suffice if the oven is sufficiently heated
Good bread is made in the same way with
a proportionally smaller quantity of lard
and butter

The Decay Of Glaciers.

FROM comprehensive article in Har-
per's by John Muir, upon the above sub
ject, we extract the following: @ -rl.
A glacier is a current Of ice derived
from snow. Complete glaciers of the
first order take their rise on the mount
aims, and descend into the sea, just as all
complete rivers OF the first order do. In
North Greenland the snow supply and
general climatic conditions are such that
its glaciers pour directly into the ocean,
and so undoubtedly did those of,the Pa
cific slope during the flush times Of the
glacial epoch; but now the world is so
warm and the snow crop so scanty nearly
all the glaciers left alive have melted to
mere hints of their former selves. The
Lyeu Glacier is now less than mile
long; yet, setting out from its frontal
moraine, we may trace its former course
on grooved and polished surfaces, and by
immense canons and moraines, d distance
of more than forty miles.
The glaciers of Switzerland are in a
like decaying condition as compared with
their former grandeur; so also are those
Of Norway, Asia and South America.

Keeping Apples.

AS THE crop is short and prices have
ruled high, it is all the more important
to preserve apples in the best condition.
The main element of success is low and
uniform temperature, just above freezing.
The house cellar is the farmers fruit
room in winter and if properly managed
answers the purpose perfectly. But there
is great deal of carelessness in guarding
against extreme zero nights and the apples
and vegetables are frequently frozen be-
tore the owner suspects any danger.
Banking the under pinning with thick
mat OF leaves, straw, old hay or evergreen
boughs will keep out the frost. These
are within reach of every farmer and are
easily kept in place with boards or poles.
But some cellars are very moist and the
temperature is likely to be too high rather
than too low. This can be remedied by
having a window that can be shut or
opened at pleasure. By consulting a
thermometer, which costs but a trifle, it
is quite easy to keep the temperature in
the cellar between thirty-two and forty de-
grees, which is even enough for all prac-
teal purposes. The apples keep better in
barrels or in small tight packages than
IN open piles or shelves, because they do
not feel the changes so soon. For the
same reason some wrap each apple in
paper or pack them in sawdust or land
plaster. This requires considerable
labor, but nice fresh apples in May and
June are worth working for In dry
cork sawdust they keep sufficiently we'll
without wrappers. If this is not available,
| dry hardwood sawdust should be used
in preference to pine or other resinous
woods. These affect the odor and some
times the taste of the apples. If no pack
ing is used the barrels should be over
hauled once month, and if any decayed
! apples are found they should be carefully
removed. Keep the barrels headed Look
at the thermometer every night and morn
ing. If too warm let in more cold air,
if too cold shut the window entirely. It
takes but moment to regulate the tenn
perature. By this simple process we
have never failed to keep winter apples
in good condition until spring american

Destroying Weeds.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Nelo England
Farmer tells how he eradicates weeds, as
follows:
Some fifteen years ago turned up an
acre Of rich land and sowed it at the proper
season with rye. It came up perfectly
well, and promised a good crop. In the
spring it looked very hourishing, but there
soon appeared multitudes of weeds which
continued to flourish till, at the time for
harvest they were much more conspicuous
than the rye. After threshing, the straw,
which l usually valued more than the
grain, sold very i'll, hardly at half the
usual price in Boston. The rye itself was
full Of seeds, many Of which refused to be

They have come to resemble the short
rivers of the eastern slope of the Sierra
that flow out into the hot plains and are
dried up. According to the Schlagintweit
brothers the glaciers of Switzerland melt
at an average elevation above the level of
the sea of 7,414 feet. The glacier of
Grindewald melts at less than 1000 feet;
that of the Aar at about 5000. The Him
alaya Glacier, in which the Ganges takes
its rise, does not, according to Capt
Hodgeson, descend below IL, GA feet. The
average elevation at which the glaciers of
the Sierra melt is not far from II ZOO feet
above sea- .eCei.

A DastardIy Outrage.

THERE was no happier boy in Mime
sofa than young John ATT, of Pennington,
when, on Thursday last, he jumped into
his handsome cutter and started his spirit
ed horse for the home of blooming Miss
Best, who lives with her parents about
four miles south of this city. John was
happy, for it was bis last night Of WOO
ing The license was in his pocket, the
minister was engaged, and the nuptial
knot was to be tied at high noon on the
morrow, and the New Years sun prom
ised to rise upon his cOnsunmate happi-
ness. The joyous young man had babe
his fond parents good-by and jumped into
the cutter at six o'clock. Merrily he
dashed along, his mind full of the pleas
ATTEST antlcipati0ns, when in an instant
he found his head enveloped in a thick
sack and his hands and feet secured,
while he lay hOrS de combat on the cold
ground, at the mercy Of four ruff1an men
He could not see and could scarcely
breathe, but he felthimself placed beneath
the seat Of the sleigh, in which the kid
napers got themselves and drovs off. He
lost all consciousness, and his portion Of
the story must be left at present.
Before seven O'Clock the faithful steed,
that had so often carried his master to the
house Of his fair one, drew up unguided
and drawing blood-stained sleigh before
her house. CONSERVATION overcame
those who expected the young lover.
Search was Immediately made, but no
trace could be found. The alarm was
given, and crowds Of men who esteemed
the young man joined IN the hunt. Thurs
day night, Friday, Friday night and Sat
urday were spent in the quest but in
vain, until late in the evening of the last
named day the unhappy groom arrived
at the house for which he had started so
joyously so long before.
Mr.. Atz was undoubtedly chloroformed,
for he has dim reCollections of wandering
in the woods all night and day, occasion
ally being overcome with irresistible
drowsiness, which compelled him to
sleep. He says he once neared log cab
in, but was afraid to enter, and he family
recollects other objects, which, by his de-
| scription, are several miles away from his
| house. He is unable to account for the
blood on the sleigh and robes, as he is not
himself injured in the least. There is not
the slightest clew to the perpetrators of the
deed, and there are several theories in re-
! gard to Its cause, one being that there
were religious objections to the marriage,
and another that it was a huge practical
Joke. If joke, it would have proved
serious if the weather had been cold Mr.
Atz is highly respected by all who know
him as a most exemplary young man.
The wedding will take place soon.-St
Paul (lHinn) Pioneer Press, Jan. 4.
