To Dry Pumpkins.

Take the ripe pumpkins, pare, cut in
to small pieces, stew soft, mash and
strain through a colander, as il for max
ing pies. Spread this pulp on plates,
in layers not quite an inch thick dry
it in the stove oven, which should be
kept at so low temperature as not to
scorch it. In about day it will become
dry and crisp. The sheets thus made
can be slowed in dry place, and they
are always ready for use for pies and
sauces. The quick drying after cooking
prevents any portion from slightly sour
ing, as Is nearly always the case when
the uncooked pieces are dried, the fla
vor is much better preserved, and the
after cooking is saved To use Soak
pieces over night in little milk, and
they will returnsto a nice pulp as deli
cious as the fresh pumpkin.

As to Old Bill

the result of the Ohio Democracy. We
had thought years ago that "old Bill AL

"Old Parr" gave up his one hundred and
thirty-eight years of life-during the
reign of Queen Bess-but few years ago
were undeceived, for the Democrats then
brought him forth as a candidate for Gov
ernor, and elected him. He is probably
alive now. He was during the last State
election in Ohio We could almost hear
his speeches, about five o'clock of an af-
ternoon, in San Francisco, il being then
between eight and nine o'clock in Ohio.
But we thought last year he had died of
Governor Hayes. And now here comes
this Bull of Bashan to the front again,
showing no more signs Of death or decay
than do the winged lions of Ninevah, ex-
humed by that English savant And now
the Ohio Democrats have declared for
him for President and for paper currency

did last year, beat Ancient Allen and he

The General Worry.

Things are pretty well balanced in this
world, so far as taking comfort goes.
High or low. all have their tribulations
Fishes are hooked, worms are trodden
upon. birds are fred at. Worry is every
where. Poor mems wives worry because
the bread won't rise; or the stove won t
draw, or the pane OF glass is mended
with putty, or they can't afford to hire
help. Rich mems wives worry because
the preserve dish 10 not of the latest pat
tern, or because somebody finds out how
party dress is trimmed before the par
ty happens, or because the servants are
unruly, break up tea-sets, spoil dinners,
get drunk, and cut up sheets into under
clothes. Causes vary, but worry aver
ages about the same. The scale of miles
is different on maps, but places remain
just SO far apart. and so do humanity
and content.

Let dogs delight to bark and bite,

Let dogs eat sheep while farmers sleep,

Let dogs come forth to fill tho earth:
Let sheep I'm plenty grow,
To make the meat for dogs 10 eat,

Let dogs, a score, surround each door,

Or track at night, the lambkin's fiight.

Let fiop-eared hounds range pasture z. .ounds,
To scent the buck and eve;
Let ours yelp round, as well as hound,
For God hath made them so.
Let every man keep, fhe can,

And let their greed on mutton feed,

Let man eat hogs-feed sheep to dogs
Raise mutton here below,

Reasons why Farmers should Buy the Buckeye Mower:

/. The location of its Cutter Bar gives it de-
cided advantage over all rear cutters, both as
regards convenience and safety.
,. Having no coggs in our drive wheels is
another important point over the Mccormick,
Champion Ohio. Woods, &c
3. Unlike the Russell, Excelsior, Champion,
Mccormick, Woods Johnston &c, we get up
our first or slow motion with bevel gears, and
our second or fast motion with spur gears.
The point gained is, that with the same use
spur gearing wears twice as long as bevel, and
as we arrange our gearing We take advantage
of this principle.
4. The shape and material composing our
guards as well as cutting apparatus in general
are points in our favor. Some use cast. others
mallable, while still others use wrought iron
guards, some have steel plates placed in them,
while others-as the Champion-use wrought
iron hardened, claiming it to be as good as
wrought iron laid with steel, as ours are. IL
so, why are our axes and chisels not so con-
structed? Their plan costs less than ours,
for after ours are forged out of the best iron
they certainly lay the slot and point with
steel as carefully any other cutting tool.
j. The folding of our cutter bar when trans
fering is another grand feature of the Buck
eye over all its aivals. The Buckeye alone
folds horizontally across the tongue, render
ing the Machine more compact and materially
lessening the wear and strain of all the parts

SPECIAL EXCELLENCIES

The cylinders are so spiked, that in connec-
ton with the spiked and adjustable concaves,
every grain is detached from its connection
with head and straw, leaving the grain per-
feet and uniniured. To accomplish this, a
very important improvement has been made
in the concave, by which it can be raised or
lowered at pleasure by crank moving and
holding it at all points equi-distant from the
cylinder. This change has met with great fa-
vor, and is a decided convenience in adapting
cylinders and concaves to all conditions Of
grain.
Separating the grain from the straw and
chaf without loss of grain, is one of the spe-
cial merits of the Sweepstakes. All machines
will carry over more or less grain with the
straw, the amount of which will depend upon
two things: lst, the condition of the
grain and I'd, the manner in which the ma
chine is handled. Owing to the generally
bad condition of the grain of the past season,
more than usual attention was given this sub
ject, resulting in some very fine improve
ments. We venture the assertion that the
Sweepstakes will carry over less grain than
any other machine known.
The fan mill of the Sweepstakes possesses a
changeable wind-board, by which with a
thumbscrew the direction of the blast can be
changed at pleasure adapting it to the differ
ent conditions and kinds of grain and seed.
We regard this arrangement as superior to
the two fans" of some other machines, for
the reason that ours is adjustable so as to suit
all kinds of grain, while the 1.-TWO fans can
not be used for oats and barley.
