Victimizing Farmers.

There is class of men that we
would like to see punished. They live
and grow rich by preying upon honest
men. They travel about from place
to place, finding fresh victims wher-
ever they go. With an oily tongue
and pleasant address, they insinuate
themselves into the confidence of the
man they intend to victimize, lay be-
fore him the plan of some utopian
scheme by which he is going to be-
come rich, get his money or his prop
erty or his notes, well knowing that
they are victimizing the individual,
in the enterprise in which he is en-
barking. How many a poor fellow has
lost everything in this way! How
many young farmer has mortgaged
his farm to raise money to thus sud
denly become rich, and has been turned
out of doors with wife and children
because he has fallen prey to such a
villain! Many and many such a VIC
tim have we seen in our experience.
The credulity of young farmers is
wonderful. They are the easiest class
in the world to be imposed upon, and
fall a willing prey to the Vaccinations
of some one who holds out glittering
prospects of wealth without labor.
Patent rights and schemes of various
kinds are used for the purpose of car
rying out the ends that some of these
men have in view. They know that
the men with whom they are dealing
cd NV nI, I'm i,n 6
habits to succeed in the enterprise
but what care they SO they fill their
pockets?
The man who steals a few dollars
from you is sent to the penitentiary
for term Of years-but the man who
ingratiates himself into your conf
dence, and holds out inducements
which he knows will never be realized,
and induces you to pay him hundreds
| or thousands of dollars for something
that will be of no possible value to
you, passes in the community as a
gentleman, a sharp trader, a man OF
| bright parts. He dresses well, talks
well, goes in good society, and all on
| the swag he has made out of some
| honest, contiding. unsuspecting farm
er. Every neighborhood has its vic
| tim.
Now, if we could have our way
scoundrels who are guilty of such acts
and who are plying their vocation anC
securing fresh victims daily, should be
sent to the penitentiary. They are
the worst kind of thieves. They art
not as good as highway robbers.
The best thing for farmers to do is
to attend to their legitimate calling
Give these oily-tongued fellows wide
berth. Make money honestly, if it be
slowly. We ask our readers if they
know of a single case where farmer
has given up his farm and entered into
any such enterprise and made money.
Nearly every one has lost, and most OF
them have lost everything, and art
only too glad to get back on farm
where they can make something fol
their family to live upon. If by this
plain talk any reader of the Rurd
! World is saved from falling into the
snare that is set for him, this article
has not been written in vain.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Breakfast Cakes. -One pint of
sweet milk; two tablespoonfuls of but
ter; one heaping teaspoonful of baking
powder, worked thoroughly through
flour enough to make batter not very
stiff. Bake III gem-pans in quick
oven.
Tomatoes Preserved Fresh. Two
gallons of rain-water, one gallon of
vinegar, one ounce and half of alum.
Put these into tight vessel or cask.
Gather the tomatoes with the skin UNI
broken, with about an inch of the stem
remaining attached. Immerse them
in the liquid. They must be kept COW
cred with it, by means of gentle pres
sure and weights not too heavy. They
will keep for any length of time.
The Moniteur de la Sulud pub
lished the following method for restor-
ing velvet to its original condition. 1t
is well known that when velvet has
been wet, not only its appearance is
spoiled, but it becomes hard and knot
ty. To restore its original softness it
must be thoroughly dampened on the
wrong side, and then held over very
hot iron, care being taken not to let it
touch the latter. In short time the
velvet becomes, as it were, new again.
Gall Soap, excellent for Carpets.
Cut finely one and . half pounds of
common brown soap; put it in an earth
ern pan with two beef gals, and place
over a slow fire, stirring frequently
with stick until dissolved; then re-
move from the fire and put away to
cool and harden. Take it out of the
pan, cut it, and allow it to dry on a
board. The vessel must not be used
for any other purpose. This soap will
be found most excellent for removing
stains and grease from carpets. -ED-

as possible. Then. planted in ferneries,

TO make green pickles quickly, put
your materials in brine that will bear
an egg. Let them remain q fortnight,
or as long as you choose to keep them,
be it for six months or year, only
taking care to scald them occasionally.
Then take them out, and soak them in
weak vinegar for several days. Then
scald them in spiced vinegar, prepared
as follows, taking care to secure the
top to keep the flavor in. Sweeten to
your taste. The spices to be used are,
to two gallons of vinegar two ounces
of long pepper, one tea-spoonful Of
cloves, one tea-spoonful of mace, two
table-spoonfuls of white ginger, one
quarter of a pound of mustard seed, a
little horse-radish, and nutmeg. If
you would like to color your pickles
yellow, add a tablespoonful of turmeric
to the prepal ed vinegar.

From the Citizen of the 25th. !

from the CltlZen oil the 2otn.
Tucson was thrown into fiutter of
excitement about II Oon last Saturday
from the receipt by Mr.. G. 0. Brown,
of a telegram from Florence signed by
M. Barnes, which read as follows:
"Placer mines found near White
Mountains; one man 10 days, 100
pounds About the same time Mr..
Charles Poppe, at h. N. Fish & Co.'S,
received a letter from Mr.. d. A. Ben
nett, at Florence, in which it was stat
ed that reports had just reached Flor
once that two men were on ti'eir way,
coming in there, who had discovered
placer deposits in the White noun
tains from which, afterten days wash
ing they had taken 100 pounds, mot
ounces, but pounds } ofclean gold.
After several days of high winds,th
clouds reluctantly let 60 their hold on
the surrounding mountains, on We'd
nesday afternoon, and sailing out over
the valley of the Santa Cruz, gave Tue
son its first thunder shower of the sea-
son. After little pleasant grumbling
and rumbling, and a short shower of
rain, the clouds retired, and the winds
went back to their caves, and as the
sun set behind the Sierras the valley
slept damp and growing beneath a
clear sky. But under cover of the
night the clouds broke away again,
from their mountain magnets, and at
the dawn on Thursday morning, the
very heavens seemed open, and the
blessed rain fell upon the just and un-
just in steady fall.
On the 18th the Oriental population
of Tucson was increased by the addi-
ton of three Cinnamon from Los An
geles. They came to stay and work.
Hop Kee took them in, and has allot-
ed each his task, and each has settled
down to his busy fate. These people
may be bad. They may sprinkle our
linen through their teeth, kneed dough
with their feet, as they do without
doubt, and occasionally smuggle a cat
into the soup, but if they will wash
our clothes without tearing them to
pieces, or give us better, cleaner look
ing and sweeter food, and if they will
supplant our late coming, stingy, mis-
erable, eXhorbitant vegetables with
the kind other people are blest with,
and if they will work for us without
feeling insulted, and take our money
without cursing us, we shall continue,
as now, to highly appreciate them.

ED. TIMES Your correspondent in
Thursdays issue falls into quite an er-
ror relative to the correspondent of the
Los Angeles HERALD. L recently
wrote to the HERALD from Seven
Palms, mentioning the fact that
the Arizona & New Mexico Express
Co. and the California q Arizona
Stage Co. both had agencies at that
place, and spoke, as thought, kindly
of both enterprises. Your correspond
ent accuses me of altogether ignoring
the latter. He certainly could not
have seen the article in question.
Three was nobody at Seven Palms to
represent the San Diego line and l
knew nothing about it, hence l did
not mention it. Neither the HERALD
nor myself are in the habit of ignoring
any faction in the commercial facili-
tiles of Southern California. I pre-
sumo that your correspondents mis-
take was unintentional.
