Oatmeal In the Household.

In Great Britain children of all ranks
are raised on an oatmeal diet alone, be.
cause it causes them to grow strong and
healthfr', and no better food can possi-
bly, be found tor them. Is is also quite
rs desirable for the student as for the
laborer, and for the delicate lady rs for
her hard-working sister; indeed, all
classes would be greatly benefited by
its use, and dyspepsia, with all its mani
fold annoyances, can be kept at dis
tance. Oatmeal is more substantial
food, it is said. than veal, pork or lamb,
and quite equal TO beef and mutton, Civ
ing as much or more mental vigor,
while it, great de>idcratum consists in
ones not becoming weary of it, for il is
as welcome for breakfast or lea as is
wheFt or Graham bread. Ii can be eat
en- with syrup and butter as hastv.puj-
ding, or with cream and sugar, like
rice. 1t is especially good for Young
mothers. upon whose nervous forces too
great a demand has been made, and they
lose the equilibrium of the system aud
becomes depressed and dispirited. Oat-
meal requires to be cooked slowly, and
the water should be boiling hot when it
is stirred in.

daily food should contain at least-albu.
minoids, one and one-hsif pounds

of milk the albuminoids would need to
be doubled, the starch, etc., increased

a large allowance, but experiments made

How TO MAKE BUTTER HARD.-An
English butter-maker of large expert
ence, who is now on a visit to the Unit
ed States for the purpose of looking over
the cheese and butter dairies, gives the
following information concerning the
method in practice among the best but
ter-makers of England for hardening or
rendering butter firm and solid during
hot weather. Carbonate of soda and al
lum are used for the purpose made into
a powder. For twenty pounds of butter
one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda and
one teaspoonful of powdered alum are
mingled together at the time of churning
and put into the cream. The effect OF
this powder is to make the butter come
firm and solid, and TO give to it clear.
sweet flavor. 1t does not enter into the
butter.milk. The ingredients Of the
powder should not be mingled together
until required to be used or at the time
the cream is il the churn ready for
churning

The best time TO plant hyscinths in
the open ground is in October and No
yember; bnt they can be set out al any
later time, as long as the ground is open
and the bulbs are sound.
The best compost for bulbs is the fol-
lowing: One-third river or sea sand,
ome-third well-rotted cow-manure, and
one-third good garden mold; or, where
the soil is naturally light, well-rotted
manure literally intermixed is sufficient.
The beds composed Of the above COM
post should be well dug to the depth of
fourteen inches and raised from two to
four inches above the level of the walks
and in the winter may be covered with
withered leaves, long manun. or with
light earth formed of decayed leaves
from the woods. They should be plant
ed about six inches deep and from five
to six inches apart. Care must be taken
not 10 press the soil too hard around
and over the bulbs.
For the culture OF hvacihths in pots,
prepare the above compost, adding, if
possible, quantity of leaf-mold. The
most favorable time for planting is Sep
tcmber, October and November. The
ile OF the pot depends upon the number
OF bulbs planted in single one. Three
or four bulbs in a pot of six or seven
inches in diametre has a rich and mas
sive effect. One or two bulbs in each
may be planted in proportionately small
Ter pots. Two bulbs in each is very ei-
fective and generally preferred. In pot
ting, each bulb should remain two-thirds
above the soil. When mus planted, wa
ter them well, to imbed the bulbs firmly
within the soil, allowing them to remain
in This condi ion one or two days. Then
bury the pots in the open ground, 20 the

If an increase of eggs be desired in the
poultry-yard, before large sums of mon
ey are expended ia the purchase of ever

the system OF keeping no hens after their
first or, al the most, their second year.
Early pullets give the increase, and the
only wonder j. that people persist as
they do in keeping up II stock of Old
hens. which lay one day and stop three,

is the inyarisblc rule to keep the pullets

production of eggs; but not when the

Nothing remains TO be done with them
but TO give them a smell of the kitchen

Muck on CLAY Solve are too apt
they may vary. Our clay, for instance
is treated like our sand and gravel, when
the requirements are vey different, and
always and inflexibly so. Clay soil de-
mands two things imperatively-drain-
age and vegetable manure, such as
muck, rotten chips, leaf mould, straw,
sod, saw.dust, corn silks, potato and
pumpkin vines, and indeed any coarse
vegetable refuse. These materials act
in two ways-as plant fOed. and me-
chanically TO loosen tue soil. The vege-
table material also acts chemically upon
the crude matter, aided in thi, by the
porosity of the soil. The Importance Of
this treatment can hardly be overesti-
mated. 1t opens the soil, lets in the air
and the warmth, the warm raiu-water
carrying both, and also bringing the
organic fertility from the atmosphere,
which is specially needed. Instead of q

FEEDING APPLES TO SToCK.-ln some
parts of the country, through heavy
crops and hard times, there i. little mar
ket for apples. They should not be al
lowed to waste. They may be placed
in heaps Oh the grass and covered with
straw or cornstalks, anc will keep all
winter; and If the straw is foot thick,
long keepers will remain uniDjured till
spring. In this condition they are read
lily accessible for feeding. Properly fed
to milch cows, they largely increase both
the quantity and quality Of the milk.
Always begin feeding in small quanii-
ties and gra iually increase the rations.
Large quantities givel at the onset will
do more harm than good. Nothing is
in more danger of checking a COW than
smooth skinned round apples. They
must, therefore, be either passed through
slicing machine, or cut on the floor
with clean spade ground sharp. Fed
in connection with corn meal they are
excellent for swine Horses fed on dry

WHAT SHEEP WILL Do.--if sheep are
transferred from one pasture field To
another from time to time they will keep
the weeds down and make the pasture
look neat and clean. In clearing land,
sheep are also valuable. They will keep

4, Autumn Day.

Al AuIuMo LAY.
Like jewel go'den-rimmed:
Like a chalice nectar-brimmed:
Like a strain of music low
Lost in some sweet long ago;
Like fairy story old
BY the lips of children told;
Like rune of ancient bard;
Like missaI glory-starred-
Comes upon her winsome way
This enchanting autumn day.
O'er the hills the sunlight sleeps;
Trough the wales the shadow creeps;
on the rivers stately tides
Rich the silent splendor glides;
Where the bowery orchards be.
rerfumed breeZes wander free:
Where the purple clusters shine
Through the network Of the vine.
FragI ant odors fill the air:
Beauty shineth everywhere.
While upon her joyous wsy
Comes the lovely autumn day.
BY the roads neglected banks
Rise the sumac's serried Ranks;
Ragged hedge of thorn and brier
Sudden flames with living fire;
From the hard unlovely sod
Springs the glancing golden-rod;
Light the level sunbeams sin
Through the violent aster-drift:
All her spears in proud array.
Comes the hammered autumn day
Lifts the forests fofty lines.
Srcptered oak and solemn pine;
shifting rainbow tints illume
All the depths offronded gloom;
Through the vistad sisles unrol
Sweeping robe and trailing stole
Where superbly on her way
Comes the royal autumn day.
Heart ofmine. be glad and gay;
Wear thy festival array;
Sing thy song for gathered fruit
Why should thou alone be mute.
When the winds from sea TO Sea
Ring in chords OF jubilee.
After waiting. after prayer,
After pain and toll and care.
Afer expectation long
10, the bright fulfillments throng:
Gleam the apples through the leaves;
Thickly stands the golden shesyes;
Earth j. all in splendor drest;
Queenly fair. she sits at rest,
White the deep delicious day
Dreams its happy life away.

CEREMONY OF CIRCU NCIsION.- This
Jewish rite was performed by Rabbi Cunt

of E. Hageman, of this city, on Tuesday
morning last.

offence, made an assault on Miss Hussey,a
daughter of Mr.. Jno. Hussey, near town,
VIII lie she was in field gathering beans
some distance from the house. He threw
her to the ground, but she being stout,
well grown girl, resisted him so violently
that he let her up. He then said he was
an escaped convict and meant no harm but
wanted something to eat. The young girl
started for neighbor, there being no one
at her home, and the negro left. Chief OF
Police Peck is on the hunt for Watkins,
who fled from home on Friday night, and
hasn't been heard of. The negro had a
gun with which he attempted to intimi-
date the young lady but failed
