Farming VS.. Profession.

The Maine INirror gives the testi-
mony of New Hampshire boy, now
resident of Wisconsin, a fine schol-
ar, graduate of Dartmouth, and a
law student in Merrimac county, who,
just previous to his admission to the
bar, took severe cold which render
ed him very deaf, and no medical
skill was able to restore his hearing.
This affection compelled him to give
up his chosen profession, and he went
out West very much broken down in
spirits. For ten years he has been
farming, cultivating about 200 acres
of prairie land, and, as he expressed
it, making a good living and sailing
down something every year. And
he declares that if, knowing what he
now knows, he was to begin his ac-
tive life over again, he would do Just
as he was compelled to do so unwill-
inglyten years ago; that is, he would
throw aside his profession and settle
down upon farm. SAID he, "there
isn't much glory on farm, but you
get a good, sure living. You are
your own master; you can't starve or
be turned out of business; and as far
as work is concerned in these days of
horse power, man needn't kill him
self farming any more than at any
other business. 1t is brains that win
on farm as well as everywhere else,
and the smart man is going to ride,
while the stupid one goes foot, in
the corn field as well as in the bar or
pulpit. should like to have my
hearing again, but l wouldn't leave
my farm if | had it,"

Setting Collars. = Blue callieoes,
which fade so easily, it is said may
have the colors set by washing them
the first time in salt and water. AT
ter this, and ever after, they may be
washed in the common way.
To Cook Caulifower.-Drop the
heads into boiling water and cook
steadily for twenty minutes; drain
and cut up fine in the dish, with but
ter, salt and pepper, and a little thick
ened mild, or better, sweet cream.
Soap for Removing Grease Spots.
dissolve in half a pint of water
half a pound of washing soda, put in
two pounds of good hard soap cut in
slices, and boil until homogeneous
mass IS formed; then add alcohol,
camphor, ether, and liquid ammonia,
half an ounce of each, and mould it
into cakes.
Fried Cauliflower.-Boll and mash
as you would potatoes. Mix with
pepper, salt, and, if you like, little
butter. For two small heads of cauI.
flower, make a batter of -four, milk,
and one egg, and stir in. Fry in
small cakes-about two tablespoon
tuls for cake-and be careful that
it does not burn. This will prove a
good breakfast dish.
Good Vinegar.-To eight gallons
of clear ram water add three quarts
CT molasses; turn the mixture into a
clean, tight cask, shake we'll two or
three times and add three spoonfuls
Of good yeast, or two or three yeast
cakes. Let stand in warm place,
and in ten or fifteen days add sheet
Of common wrapping paper, smeared
with molasses and torn into narrow
strips; the paper is necessary to form
the "mother," or life of the vinegar.
Picked Walnuts. = Procure the
walnuts when young and prick them
well with fork. Prepare a strong
brine of salt and water -four pounds
of salt to each gallon of waterl, into
which put the walnuts, letting them
remain nine days, and changing the
brine every third day. Drain them
off; put them on dish and place it
in the sun until they become perfect.
ly black, which will be in two or
three days. Have ready dry jars,
into which place the walnuts, and do
not quite fill the jars. Boil sufficient
vinegar to cover them for ten min
utes; to every quart of vinegar allow
two ounces Of whole pepper, one
ounce of allspice, and one ounce of
bruised ginger; pour it hot over the
walnuts, which must be covered with
the vinegar. Tie down with blad-
der, and keep in dry place. They
will be fit tor use in a month, and
keep for years. Butternuts are picked
by the same process. They should
be gathered while PIN will easily
pass thaough them.

Tie Hog B.unner,

The above Is the name of a simple
device invented by the cattle yard
men at West Albany, N. Y, to in
duce hogs to move from the cars in
which they are transported INTO the
yard. Pigs, as general rule, are
not Of accommodating disposition;
and when it comes to prevailing upon
Il car load of them to move along
upon narrow gangway, the first
ones that start upon the plank are apt
to decline to proceed further, and so
block the egress of the rest. This
necessitates an astonishing amount
of patience and beating, besides I'M
limited strong language, and of
course often delays cattle train for
some time. The new invention to
persuade the animal to pass on is the
hog bounccr, made by bringing one
end of the gangway plank to a firm
support; then under the other end
two double car springs are placed
A powerful lever and a spring catch
complete the device. Before the car
door is opened, the platform is carried
down SO as to compress the springs
by the lever, and the catch is hooked.
The hogs are then allowed to pass
along the platform, and, so long as
they move along properly, the plank
is undisturbed; but as soon as a
crowd congregates and vociferously
objects to going further, the catch is
sprung. One end of the platform
flies about three feet upward, and the
result is y shower of living porkers,
shot oyer the heads and upon the soft
bodies of the drove. They are sell
dom injured, but vastly astonishea;
and it is needless to add that the
blockage is at once dispelled.

Without agriculture, there is no
wealth. Gold and silver are not
wealth, they are its convenient rep

Agriculture is the prolific mother of
wealth; the rest simply handle it

The arrangements for the State
Fair are all complete and the prepar-
atory work nearly finished. Mr..
John r. Shaffer, the efficient and gen.
tlemanly Secretary, has seemingly

one Of the directors, is also we'll up
with his work, and will be ready.
The buildings will be put in thorough
rcpair-newly painted, the fences
whitcwashed and all arranged in the
best order possible for their intended
use. The hotel accommodations will

Temperance Drink for tho Field.

Young Farmer, in Boston Journol
says: I make n cheap, and l think
wholesome beverage, by sleeping
half a pound of hops, and adding to
the liquor two quarts of molasses, a
pint of yeast, and water enough to
fill two gallon keg. After standing
to work a day or two it is stopped up
tightly and is ready for use. a less
quantity of it seems to quench thirst
than would be necessary of cold wa
ter, yet if you need more (say after a
salt fish dinner) more of it may be
drank without experiencing the chill
and pain at the stomach which follow
the use of too much cold water. Nor
have I seen any signs of intoxication,
or any signs of the creating of an ap-
petite for stronger drink. On the
contrary, when have had men at
work for me who were accustomed
to use strong drink, they would drink
the beer and ask for nothing more;
while if they drank only cold water
through the day they had to go to
the village at night to get something
to warm their stomachs ups" so call
it temperance beverage" For a
change, we sometimes use the old
fashioned "switchell," molasses and
water with dash of vinegar and a
sprinkle of ginger, but it does not
quench thirst in hot day like the
hop beer, or shop ice," as some of
them insist upon calling it.

The Avalanche is not prepared

were never but two political parties
at one time in this country. Our
statement of yesterday is substan-
TALLY correct, as we could prove by
going into a history of political
parties. We admitted that names
have changed occasionally and that
new issues have almost outgrown
the old ones from which they
sprung. The editor of the Ava
lanche says, what has become

The Wing party became democrat

the amount Of nearly half a million
dollars, which will probably be re-
deemed in a few days at par in
New York, we're in the hands of a
few capitalists. Our Governor is
a reticent man, SO much SO that
it is a surprise that any one
suspected what was on foot.
These coupons were worth sixty
five cents on the dollar in the
market, and if it could be left to
the people no more than that would
be paid. The tax-paying people
viii not approve this step on the
part of our worthy Governor, and
he will find when too late that his
motives are misconstrued. 1t has
taken a long time to collect this
money from the people; it repre-
sents the toll and sweat and sacri-
fees of the people. They have
given this subject much attention
lately and do not feel able at pres
ent to pay dollar for dollar. The
Governor could have taken this
money and retired a million of the
Just debts of the State. The peo-
Pile and the next Legislature, which
meets in about four months, would
have approved the act, or ifhe feared
that, he could have waited. We
say nothing to reflect on him OF
any of the State officers, knowing
them to be men of the highest in,
tegrity and incest sense OF honor.
but we think, and do not hesitate
to say, that a mistake, and a very
serious one, is about to be commit
ted.
