isl believed an understanding exists between
Germany and Russia, and England does not
seem minded to go to war for the preservation
of the Turkish power Negotiations have been
renewed, and there is some prospect that an
armistce will be agreed upon. 1t is evident
that Russia has been preparing for war, and
she will fight unless she can gain her objects
through diplomacy. She will be content with
nothing less than the complete independence
of Servia and Montenegro. the autanomy of the
Herzegovina, Bosnia and Bulgaria, and the ac-
QUESTION of Bessarrbia which was taken from
her by the Paris treaty of 1856. 1t is reported
that Roumania has declared independence, an
event which would complicate the situation
The Turks have won several victories over the
Servians during the week. One great obsta-
Gle to war is the financial distress prevailing in
Austria and Russia on account Of their paper
currency. A panic is feared in their stock and

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fall Planting.


In the October number of Scribner's Month
ly, P. T. Quinn gives the following seasonrble
hints respecting fall planting:
Fruit-bearng trees, shrubs, vines and BRAN
bles may be transplanted in the fall, and very
often under more favorable conditions, and with
better prospects of success, than If set out in
the spring. There are some we'll known objec-
tions raised against fall planting, especially of
fruit trees such as the long exposure to the
swayng of the winds before growth commenc-
es. But the injury or displacement of the roots
from swaying at the tops amounts to little com
pared to the many striking advantages gained
in planting at a season of the year when there
is comparative leisure; when the ground is us
ually dry and in good condition, and when the
necessary preparatory stirring of the soil can be
made without any extra expense. These are
points that tell in the growth and productive
ness of fruit trees, either in the garden or the
orchard. If planted in the fall the soil settles
closely around the roots and fibres by the time
the spring opeus, and an earlier growth is
started than With spring setting, which is Of
ten pushed back until the Season is well ad-
vanced, from causes over which the planter
has no control. The spring may be backward
enough to hinder planting of trees in way in
which they should be set out to insure success
All other things being equDl, there is no doubt
that spring would be the better time to plant
trees But this not often happen to be the
case, as every practical fruit grower well knows
1t is Therefore wise to transplant in the fall if
the trees and the ground are in readiness.

POETRY.
The Democratic Flag Raising.
BY T. o. VI.

Lo! There our flag, thrice bought by blood,
Now bears a craven's name,
And thoughtless thousands rend the air.
With jubilant acclaim!
And yet, had all like TILDEN proved,
In dark rebellion's hour
That flag, If hailed at all, to day,
Were shorn of half its power.
Whatl place in presidential chair,
Him who refused his aid
To raise dollar, or man,
To crush secesslon's raid?
Declared it outrage to oppose
The traitors goddess strife,
And thus gave comfort to the foes,
Who sought his country's life?
AS well throw wide your prison doors,
And from each felon's cell,
Bring forth its occupant to guard
All that you cherish well;
The burglar for your trusted watch,
Or treasures rich and rare;
The vile assassin, to protect
Your wife, and daughters fair.
IT'S insult to the honored dead,
Who did 80 lately give,
Their lives upon the battlefield,
That Freedom still might live;
And worse than insult to the fame
OF those who gave her birth,
The goddess who shall ever rule
This proudest land of earth.

To Rreuare Skins for RUGS.

After removing all the bits of flesh from
the skin, scour it with hot water and soft soap
with hard brush. Crush and we'll mix to-
gether two ounces of salts of tartar and one
ounce of ammonia, which sprinkle on the
skin while you scrub it. After this securing,
dry the skin with sawdust and it will then be
ready for the curing pickle, viz:- One pound
of fine oatmeal, eight ounces of corrosive sub
Innate, four ounces of saltpeter and one
gallon of vinegar.
ingredients, stirring the whole briskly while
in in the act of pouring. Let the solution get
quite cold, and then immsrse the skin, which
must soak for at least two days. Then take
it out and tightly stretch it till it is dry. Dur
ing the process of drying, comb and smooth
the hair. The remainder of the pickle can
be poured into jar, corked up tightly and
put aside for future use.

Rubber CenlenI.

There are several kinds of India rubber
cement. The best known is "marine glue"
A cheaper cement and one that is highly rec
commended, is made by cutting quantity of
pure India rubber, in its natural state, into
small pieces, putting them in a wide mouthed
bottle and filling it about half full of the
purest benzne; the rubber will swell up
almost Immediately, and if well shaken will
in few days assume the consistency of hon
ey. If the rubber does not dissolve add
more benzine. If when dissolved the CO.
ment is too thin, add more gum. A piece
of rubber one inch in diameter will make
pint of cement. This dries in a few minutes
and is very useful in uniting pieces of leather.
as it is both elastic and durable. In mending
rubber goods put patch of rubber over the
place to be mended and cement 1T on with
the solution, which fastens the patch firmly.

BreakfaSt Indian Cake.

As We are now able to get Indian meal
how they can have excellent cakes for break
fast, which call much cake. 1t is thus:
Take as much meal as may be required,
scald it partially; then take some drippngs
of lard and warm water, melt the fat with it,
then take the meal and mix it with milk to
the proper consistency; add little salt and
beaten egg, or the egg may be omitted,
bake on the griddle and you will have an ex-
cellent cake

Burns and Freezes.

Whatever is good for one just is as good for
the other. Cold water or snow will remove
the first fire or cold, then essence of pepper
mint, or strong solution of alum water will
harden the skin and draw out the pain. Great
care should be taken with burns or freezes,
not to break or rack up the skin; and never
put on drawing poultices, it makes big sore.
A cloth with a little mutton tallow or some
soft oil spread upon it will keep out the air
and heal it where the skin is torn up.
