DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

VEAL.-Three pounds OF veal one quart
of water, bring it slowly to a boil; take off
all the scum with great care. When it has
simmered tor an hour, add pint Of green
peas, and season to taste.
Corn FR1TTERs.-Take half dozen
ears of sweet corn, CRATE it from the cob MS
fine as possible; three well-beaten eggs;
tablespoonful and a half of flour; season
with pepper and salt; melt equal portions
of lard and butter in a frying pan; when
boiling hot, drop in the mixture, spoonful
at time. Fry brown, and send to the Ia
BILE hot
SPRING CHIcKENs.-It is generally con-
ceded that chickens merely split open and
bro,led, are dry and unsavory eating. |,
therefore, give to the housekeepers of the
Rural my recipe, which has been pro-
nounced good by many. Clean the chick
ems nicely; cut them down the back; break
the breast-bone; wash and wipe them dry
season them, both in and outside, with salt
and pepper; place them in dripping-pam
with little water; put it in quick oven
until they are a delicate brown on both
sides; baste them frequently with butter !;
renew the water as it eyaporates. When
the chickens are done, remove to a hot dish ;
add little more water and a teaspooniul OF
flour to form the gravy. Serve the gravy IN
sauce-tureen, or in the dish with the chick

STACKING WHEAT.

Now that the wheat crop has been har-
vested and gathered, the next thing to be
considered is how to protect it from the
weather. In the absence of barns this is
done by stacking in the open air, and to do
which requires no inconsiderable amount OF
skill and judgment.
In preparing for this work, first choose a
level piece of ground, on which lay foun-
datfon of rails some ten feet wide for large
stack. and so in proportion. In building
the stack commence in the center of the
foundation by setting up sheaves as if for
shock in tie field, only placing the bundles
more compactly together, and SO continu-

REMARKABLE Wharf.-The Winona
(Minn.) Republican records the fact that
bushel of Scotch fife wheat, raised forty
miles northward from Fargo, in the north
western part OF that State, weighing sixty
four pounds to the bushel, was lately
shipped to the Centennial Commission.
The average yield of the field was forty
four bushels to the acre, machine meas

to the Centennial, with the facts verified ;
also verified statements with samples Of the
wheat YIELD. none less than twenty-seven
bushels to the acre, of thirty-seyen other
farms in the same settlement.

The Castroville (Cal.) argus says that five

is doing well. Everyone who has expert

AGRICULTURE AT THE CENTENNIAL.

A thorough 1nVesugatlOn OF Lne internal
workings of the Centennial Commission and
of the influences by which some of their
acts are guided would develop an astonishing
amont of illiberality, stupidity and imbecili-
ty. Composed, as they are, largely of the
denzens of large cities, the interests of the
rural population have received at their
hands a complete snubbing. In the first
place they have located the large building
in which agricultural exhibits are intended
to be shown at the extreme rear Of the
grounds, almost as far from the main en-
trance as it was possible to put it. The
roof leaks badly, and there is no end of 9TH
er discomforts. To this was added total
neglect of machinery and power till all the
other buildings had been supplied. Burnett
Landreth, Chief of the Bureau Of Agricul-
ture, seeing the treatment which his depart
ment received demonstrated to no purpose
Jurors were appointed, and an advisory
board was organized for the purpose of CIV
ing this part of the great show proper atten-
ton. But, like Napoleon, the commission
called for their advice and did exactly as it
pleased.
The chief of this bureau had intended to
with the importance Of the interests which
it represented, and for this purpose had ar
ranged programme of competitive field
trials of agricultural machinery by means
OF which the best that any country exhibit
cd could be developed and called by its
right name. With this idea, the commits
sion authorized extensive preparations.
Two large tracts of land. aggregating about
one hundred acres, were leased for the year,
and by dint of careful fertilization and thor
ough preparation were sown with seeds Tor
large crop. Half oft was grass and the
other half wheat. Circulars were issued by
the chief of the bureau, under the authority
of the commission, inviting all the manufac-
t,lrers of agricultural machinery to enter
their implements for exhibition and compe
tition at the great International Field Trial
The expense of these preparations alone
exceeded $4,000.
A largs number of American manufac
turers met in convention for the ostensibl'
purpose of arranging the points necessar.
to be used by the judges in testing the COM
parative merits of the machines entered TO
trial. And just here began the development
of a scheme to which the commission subse
quently fell an easy and willing victim.
was the repetitition of an old story of tn
fellow who by dint of industry and hard Ia
Dor, climbs to the topmost round OF the lac
der, and, with the generosity that usual
characterizes self-made men, kicks outev
round of the ladder beneath him, so that n
other should have an equal chance wit
himself.
A few of the oNler firms, who had grow
rich and mean in the business, having s.
cured many medals, premiums, and aware

at trials and exhibitions of the past, and who
desired to prevent their younger and proba-
bly, more enterprising competitors from any
attempt at rivalry, endeavored to kill the
competitive trials. Their opposition, how
ever, was too covert to be much opposed,
and the convention actually arranged plan
to secure justice to all at the trials. Then
the hard work began. The commission was
interviewed, written to, and solicited in ev-
cry conceivable way to prevent competition.
The old manufacturers asserted that they
represented more than half the capital rep
resented in the manufacture Of agricultural
implements, which was probably true, and
that they could see no benefits to any one in
such competition. Of course not, because
the benefit was not for themselves. They,
however, concealed the fact that there were
several new implements never before ex-
hibited nor entered for competition, which,
in case the trials took place, would in all
probability cut a swath all around them,
and carry off all the medals and awards,
leaving them in their proper places, with
their worthless medals and awards of the
past.
just before the time fixed for the begin
ming of the trials, resolution was passed
resembling the order for competition, and
ordering in its place a field exhibition. In
the meantime the manufacturers had been
spending their money in preparations, and
had in many instances paid their entry fees
Few who had entered for the competition
had spent less on this account than $4,000
and some much more. The resembling res
olution rendered this expense an absolute
waste. Protests went in fIom the chief Q
the bureau and no end of exhibitors. The
advisory board demonstrated with the com
mission. If county fair society had don'
such thing they might as well have dis
solved at once, for they never could hav
held another exhibition. In reply to th
arguments of one OF the advisory board tina
the action was unjust to agriculturists, VIII
were entitled to know, from practical test
which were the best implements, the com
mission let the cat out Of the bag. The.
said that the rural population had sui
scribed less to the Centennial stock than an
other class.
The upshot of the implement business wa
that nearly all the manufacturers took thei
machines into the field and exhibited thei
workings, at a cost of about So 900 each, t
one Englishman, two japanese, one Amer
can, an Americanized German, four new!
paper reporters, and one small Bucks count
boy.
This is but one Of the numerous fizzle
gotten up by the commission. They e.
pended large amount of money on a
aquarium, Of the existence of which not on
visitor in hundred does or ever will know
For the failure of the dairy display the con
mission is chiefly responsible, having lie
tho matter entirely in the hands of rim
of jobbers, who, by their miscondue
have driven off the exhibitors. Ihey wi
have enough to stand under, however, whe
, the public begin to discover their sins
omission and commission, without chargir
them with any doubtful faults.-Neso Yo1
