THE FARMER.
States.

When farmer can so manage his farm as
to make both ends of the year meet" even
ii it be with the most rigid economy, he
a survey of the business men of our villages
and cities, we find that only three or four in
a hundred realize competence tor old age.
Then imagine the unhappiness of those who,
sooner or later, fail to support themselves
and families respectfully cares and
anxieties that constantly produce pangs and
tortures that no farmer ever felt. These
men may apparently lead pleasant lives. as
the outside world cannot witness the emo
tions of man who daily strains every finan-
cial nerve to meet his notes falling due at
the bank. The time between one and three
o'clock every day, in the city of New York,
brings more anxiety to business men than
all the farmers in the United States realize in
lifetime.
No, farmers, your lot is not hard one.
Your food may be plain and the cuts of your
coats may not be as fashionable as those OF
the merchants of the day; but when you lie
upon your pillow your repose is sound and
sweet. The horrors of protested notes sell
dom keep you awake at night; and in the
morning. as you go around to feed your
flocks and view your crops that have visibly
grown while you were in the arms of Nor
pheus. you may take more real enjoyment
of lite in one hour than many city mer-
chants and manufacturers do in year.
Our advice therefore, is, be not discouraged.

ing, indicating injuries from excessive rains,
but no report of finjurious frost have been
received. Illinois is per cent below gen-
eral average, though several counties report
the finest crop for years. September storms
were destructive at a few points. The SUI
periolity of upland crops indicates an over
plus of rain. Several reporters in Wiscon-
sin mention, with satisfaction, that the crop
was too tar advanced to be much injured by
either frosts or grasshoppers. West of the
Mississippi the small deficiency in Missouri
is more than repaired by the fine condition
reported in all the other States.
Cotton.-The October reports indicate
reduction of the cotton crop during the past
month in the ten principal cotton States
from an average Of 905 to S2.7. The Octo-
Der average for these States was SS in 1876
and III in 1874. The decline from Septem-
ber is slight in Georgia, Florida, and Missis-
sippi, greater in Louisiana and Arkansas,
and greatest in Alabama and Tennessee.
There is very small advance reported from
Texas.
Potatocs.-A fair crop in Maine in' other
Eastern and Middle States large reduction.
Rot in Indiana and Pennsylvania. North of
the Ohio poor crop. Illinois, Ohio, Wis
consin IL per cent. less than the average.
West of the Mississippi, the condition of the
crop is a little higher than average. For the
entire country the condition is less than "
per cent. of a crop.
Sweet Potatoes.-An average crop is re-
ported.
Sorghum.-Where grown over an average
crop.
Tobacco.-Reported as being something
below an average in most of the large pro-
ducing States.
Peas and Beans.-Less than average in
condition.
Fattening Cattle.-Thc numbers of fatten-
ing cattle are apparently somewhat less than
last year, though the difference is small.
Maine and Vermont, most of the Southern
States, and especially the States of the Mis-
souri, Valley, return increasing numbers
while the returns from the Middle and Cen
trail Western States are uniformly below 100.
Their condition is very generally higher
than the returns of condition last year,
the principal exceptions being in New York,
New Jersey, and in the New England
States.

lemon, one teacup of sugar, squeeze the juice
OF the lemon on the sugar; chop the pulp

teacup of water; nix altogether and bake
with two crusts.
Celery Sla,o.-Ono-half head Of cabbage,
the tender part of one bunch of celery, two
hard-boiled eggs, all chopped fine, mix with
it two teaspoonfuls ofsugar, two of mustard, !
one-half a teaspoonful of salt and pepper.
Moisten with vinegar.
Mustard Cabbage.-Beat one egg with i
tablespoonful of sugar, NIX one teaspoon
full of mustard in one-half teacup of vinegar;
add this to the egg and sugar, and boil un-
til thick, stirring all the time; pour while
hot over finely-cut cabbage, previously
salted.
To Cook Cste,y.-The outside leaf stalks of
celery may be utilized land very savory dish
made by cutting them in small pieces, and
boiling in salted water until tender. Then
turn off the water, and add milk, butter, and
flour enough to form thick gravy. Serve
hot.
Vine Sauce for Dreaded Chops or Came
One pint of claret wine, One-quarter of q
pound of butter, one large teacup OF currant
| jelly, one teacup of brown sugar, one tea
spoon of whole allspice. Melt the butter;
add the jelly, sugar, and allspice. Stew UNI
til the allspice is preceptible. Strain into
sauce-boat, and serve hot.
| Cleansing Fluid.-Dssolve four ounces Of
white CASTLE soap in one quart Of soft water.
| When luke-warm, add four ounces of water
Of ammonia, and one ounce each OF ether
and glycerine. Bottle the mixture without
delay, adding more water ii it grows hard
with keeping, or OH account of cold. The
ammonia, ether, and glycerine can be meas
ured and mixed by the druggist.

four tablespoonful of grated horse-radish
with one teaspoonful of salt, one-half tea
spoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls OF
made mustard. Mix thoroughly. Then
moisten with sufficient vinegar to give it the
consistency of cream. Add four tablespoon

Speet MIX, Gems.--To my taste there is
no more delicious graham bread than gems
mixed with sweet unskimmcd milk, without
salt or baking powder. Like water gems
they require II hot oven, though this is net
quite so essential for any form of breed
mixed with milk. As there is no soda. es
yeast. or baking powder to make them light,
all depends upon the thorough stirring To-
! gether of the flour and water. and quick,
steady baking. Skinned milk is little Ges-
ter than water.
