Recipes.
To PREPARE AN EGG FOR AN INVALID.
Beat an egg until very light; add
seasoning to the taste; then steam un"
til thoroughly warmed through, but not
hardened; this will take about two min
utes. An egg prepared in this way will
not distress very sensitive stomachs.
POP OvERs.-Four eggs, four cups
of fine Graham -four, four cups of milk,
or simply good milk and the best of
white -four made into a rather soft
batter. These may be baked in gem
tins or gem irons, or small cups, which
should be previously heated. Bake in
a hot oven, and eat with fruit sauce.
How TO USE DRY CAKE.-Cut the
cake in slices, cover with sweet cream,
let it stand until moistened and serve.
IF you nave not cream, use the follow
ing instead: Beat together the yolks of
two eggs, one pint milk, one halt. cup
sugar, and favorlng to the taste; steam
uIjn thickened to the consistency of
cream; when cool, spread on the cake.
HEATING THE OvEN-Fruit pies re-
quire hotter fire than bread, but
steady from first to last; if too hot at
first the crust will cook before the fruit
does; if two slow toward the last
the fruit will dry up before the
fruit is done, if too hot toward the last
the fruit will stew out before the crust
is done. Pumpkin pies require fire
as hot as can be without burning the
crust.
CoMPosrrIoN CAKE.-This receipt will
do also for jelly, or cup cakes. Take
two cups of sugar, into which rub half
a cup of butter; add the yolks OF four
eggs, then one cup Of thick, sour
cream; one-half teaspoonful cream tar
tar mixed with two end half cups
-four. Beat the whites of the eggs to
froth and add them last. Bake about
thirty minutes.
DOLLY WARDEN CAKE.-Take four
eggs, two cupfuls of sugar, half cupful
of butter. Beat this for half hour, then
add three cupfuls Of -four, sifted, one
cupful of milk, and two teaspoonfuls OF
baking powder, beating all well togeth-
er. Take one-half the quantity In an
other dish. add one cup of raislns, cut
in halves. one-haH cup OF currants,
one half of nutmeg, two teaspoons
fuls of cinnamon, and the same of
cloves. I always bake the light first,
then the dark, in layers about an inch
thick, nntting icing between each layer.
{ always make boiled icing, which I
find is much better for this kind OF cake.
Take one cup Of sugar to the whites OF
two eggs for the icing.

An Ill.Word for Potatoes.

Mrs. Adolph Leue delivered the first
of q proposed course of three lectures
at College Hall in Cincinnati, on Mon
day night. Her subject was 1.-The
Potatoe; Its History and Influence up
on Civilization" After giving an &C
count of the discovery of potato
anc the history of it production in diff
ferent countries, she spoke of it's infu-
ence on the character of the people
where it is used almost exclusively for
food. For instance, in Ireland, where
it is the chief article of food, she said,
the people are disposed to be lazy and
of a spirit IL calculated to shake off the
slavery resting on them. It might be
asked: Why didn't they emigrate? but
they hadn't the courage to emigrate.
The potato was the cheapest food which
could be raised IN abundance there,
and yet the rishman earned only cheap
wages and proved himself to be
worthy only of such. Temperance
people and societies, the lecturer
said, were saying much and trying hard
to abolish the use of strong drink, but
they would accomplish more by intro
ducing more nourishing food among
the people most addicted to drunken
ness. Whisky and potatoes we're
necessary twin evils, SO long as there
was nothing provided as food'to supply
an appetite for stimulant. People may
fatten themselves as cattle and only as
cattle on potatoes, though they are very
good if mixed with eggs and meat. It
was a mistake to suppose that, while
there might be produced greater bulk,
more nourishment in the way of pota
the same space of ground. Some
physicians had stated that scrofula was
produced by steady diet of potatoes,
at least this disease appeared in certain
countries after the introduction of pota-
toes. The lecture was illustrated with
drawings.

A New Use for Onions,

We see it stated by New Hamp-
shire paper that the speediest way to
cure epizootic and make horse thor
oughly happy is to give him onions. In
proof whereof the case of Portsmouth
horse is cited, which had severe at
tack of the disease, and his owner placed
half dozen onions in the crib with his
regular food. The horse tackled three
of the onions Immediately, and by the
time he had swallowed them began to
sneeze and prance about, appearing
quite indignant, and refusing to touch
the remaining onions. For full five
minutes he wept at the nose. and then
he was a cured horse. He has not
had cough, sneeze, nor any symptom
of the epizootic since, but he did have
the courage to eat the onions remaining
in the crib the next day after the cnre.

100000 Bushels Of Corn Raised on One
Farm.
From the Nevada (Mo.) Democrat.
Monday last we mad the pleasure of
meeting, for the first time, with Mr..
Elias Farlor, one of the most extensive
farmers and stock-raisers of our county.
His farm lies just north of the Usage
river, some 10 miles from this place.
and contains upwards of 1000 acres o.
choice land in a high state of cultiva-
ton; and, Notwithstanding the fact thet
the grasshoppers destroyed his first
planting of corn, he raised, inside of
100 days, 100000 bushels of corr.
Now, if there is another man in the
Southwest who can make such show
ing we would like to hear from him.
One hundred thousand bushels of corn
at 20 cents per bushel-the ruling price
at this time,-is worth just 500,
Here is an answer to the vexed ques-
ton. "Does farming pay?" and we
think it quiet q satisfactory answer.
Twenty Thousand doll.rs is quite a
snug little sum; and we seriously doubt
if there is another farmer in the South
west that has done as we'll this year as
our friend Taylor. But besides raising
this immense corn crop, Mr.. Taylor has
been trading quite extensively in cattle
and hogs, and is now feeding 500 heed
of cattle and 500 head of hogs.

The Most Valuable TOba Geo Leafs

The most highly valued tobacco in
New England is the thin, tough, elastic
leaf, which burns readily to ashes.
Those leaves containing the most car
Donate of potash in their ashes, burn
the most freely and suitably In some
combinations potash does not favor the
burning, and some tobacco manufac-
turers improve the flavor and burning
quality by artifcially impregnating the
leaf with acetate, citrate, or artrate of
potash, applying the latter in solution
and then drying. Chloride Injuries the
tobacco, as also does nitric acid. Sui
phuric acid, united with potash, soda,
or lime, favors the burning of tobacco.
The best tobacco is produced on well
drained, warm, sandy lands. It is be-
ieved heavy manuring increases the
quantity of the crop, generally at the
expense of quality as regards texture.
Long Moss for Irish Potatoes.
The Tampa (Fla) Guardian of the
31st ult says: "Mr. Samuel T. A.
Branch has given us a novel way of
planting Irish potatoes and preparing
moss for mattresses at the same time,
which is indeed good idea. First dig
out your trenches as deep as you desire
them, then pat layer Of moss at the
bottom; cut your potatoes and lay them
on the moss, then put layer of moss
over them and throw over your dirt.
Though the season be extremely dry
the moss will keep moist sufficient to
give you larger yield of potatoes than
you ever had before, white and clean,
as if they had been freshly washed in
water, and the moss is now thoroughly
dried and killed, and by washing and
beating it little you have nice lot of
moss ready for mattress making"
This is an experiment which we adj
advise our swamp farmers to try.
