FREEZING MEAT.-It is II simple matter
to pack meat so us to keep it. 1t SHOULD
first be cut up into pieces so small that by
cutting once more they will be fit for the
table, except, perhaps, the hams and shoul
dcrs of hogs and the steak of beef, as lhi,
allows one to take out and thaw just what
is wanted without the trouble of cutting il
when froz n. When cut up it should be
frozen solid as soon as may be, and ther
packed in some substance which will keel
it from the air. Some use snow others
oats or hay. Snow has the advantage o.
always being clean, and of absorbing
whatever blood or juice may run out o
the meat if it thaws little. A common
flour barrel is as good rs anything to pack
in. Cover the bottom with sew .ral inches
of clean, dry snow; then pack layer o
frozen meat and cover it with snow and 81
on. Put it in cool place and the mea
will keep long after the snow out of door!
has melted away.

prices, is quite satisfactory, and l have
come TO the conclusion that, for winter
feed for cattle, corn stalks and straw, fed
regularly ate intervals, proportioning the
daily amount of each to the entire season,
are worth at least double what they are to
keep stock, each being fed alone while
they last.

MOTHER GoOsE.-Dear old Mother
Goose! Which of lis has not enjoyed hel

but real woman, mother of six, and step.
mother of ten, children. She wrote, and
no wonder,
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had SO many children she didn't know what tc
do.
The Rev. j. NJ. Manning, of Boston
told the Sunday School of the Old South
Church, on Christmas Day, that she had
once been member of that communion.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth Foster,
and she married Mr.. Isaac Goose. She
lived to be ninety-two years old. One OF
her daughters married Thomas Fleet. a
printer, who lived in Pudding Lane. This
gentleman wrote down the rhymes and
songs he heard his mother.in-law sing as
she stepped briskly to and fro about her
work, and after awhile he printed them in
II little book which bore this title: Songs
for the Nursery; or. Mother Goose's Melo-
dies fer children Printed by 7. Fleet, at

The English Garden, advocating the
growing of apple trees for shrubbery
SAYS: 1t is no more trouble TO grow in
apple tree than it is IN ash or lime tree
and when in fruit it is certainly far more
attractive than either of these, and, when
in bloom, it is not only ornamental but
useful and valuable, and if it pays the
Americans to grow apples for the English
markets it will pay Englishmen. The
best varieties of apple-trees to plant in
strawberries for ornament, are the lIaw-
thornden, the Emperor Alexander, Lord
Suifeld and Beauty of Kent. These are
all trees of vigorous habit and fine foliage,
and produce large clusters Of bloom and
bear abundant crops of large, handsomely
colored fruit, which is unsurpassed for Gu
linary purposes.

Out at his stupid old trumpet-nose.

THE LITTLE BIRD,

You dear little birdiel
Come in from the coldl
The bleak wintry weather
Has made you quite bold.
'Tis clear sunny morning.
And yet the wind blow;
Your little bare feet
Must be chilled by the snow.
The wee Iirdie chirped,
And his whole manner said,
"Mapy thanks, but want
Just few crumbs of bread,
For the soft falling snow
Has buried the seed;
The times are so hard,
We are hungry indeed.
like the free air
or the rustling old WOOD
And all that | need
Is few crumbs of food"
"Then come, pretty birdie,
Come here every day.
You shall have all the crumbs
You can eat, while you stay.
And ask all the birds
In the woods to come too"
"Thanks hanks |" chirpCd the birdie,
AS homeward he flew.

THOUGHTS FOR TIE FARMER-Fol
troubles on farm there are two remedies
work and hope.
In the fluctuations of trade the farmer
who is out of debt can feel happy and in
dependent. He is sure of shelter from tho
storms-enough 10 eat and comfortable
clothing. These are necessarics Of life
and any farmer can have them.
There is no danger of the products o
the farmer getting out of fashion. So VT
can safely keep ON producing bread, milk
butter, cheese, pork beef, mutton, poul
try, fruit, potatoes, eggs, etc, without any
danger of questionable things being lef
on our hands.
In protecting trees and shrubbery from
winter. keep in mind that it is not always
the intense cold that kills. But it is The
effect of frequent freezing and thawing
A tender tree is much safer on the nortl
than the south side of the fence. If pro
lection is only given to one side, let tina
be on the sunny side.
A man is known by his cattle. If he i.
kind and attentive, and has gentle word
or pat for thcm it has II soothing effect
and they will stand around and enjoy his
presence, secrete more milk, and take
more fat.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1877-02-07

The farmer whose barn cellar and gran
AIRY are well filled should be contented and
happy. Pancs can not reach him. Hard
times are known to him only in name.
If he owns his farm, has it well stocked,
has a comfortable set of buildings and is
out of debt. no king can be happier than
he. If he has not these, let him at this
time make such plans as will be most like
ly to enable him TO acquire them.-7he
People.

TIE FARMERS Ice CRoP.-Now is the
time, when the ice is solid and Shedding
good, for the farmer to fortify himsel
against the tropical heat Of the coming
summer. Farmers that store away hal
dozen tons of ice this winter, which will
not cost more than half as many dollars
will find they have II good supply for
large family all through the hot weather
In the absence of saws or other tools made
expressly for the purpose, an ordinary
crosscut saw, with one handle removed
will make Il very good substitute. Saw
out your blocks of even size and regular
shape, 50 that they will pack closely,
you have some outbuilding that you are
not using, lay floor of rails or poles or
the ground, and cover with coating O
straw and sawdust. Then, when every
Thing is hard frozen, pnt in your ice il
regular layers, filling up all crevices will
sawdust, and leaving space of eighteen
inches between the ice and the wall, to be
filled in with the same material. Tram
this in well, and when the ice is all in
cover it over the top somewhat thicker
than you think is necessary, and ther
throw on little more sawdust. Mex
summer you will find you have provided :
remedy that will work wonderful etiec
in cooling down the temper that the vaxa
tous work of u hot kitchen will sometimes
engender in the best regulated families

1.-The Supreme Court has rendered
iud sement in the case of James Reid EFT
AL, VS.. Louisiana State Lottery Co., in
favor of the plaintiffs. The amount in
volved is 13, 800 with 5per cent init. from,
we believe, 1870. 1t will be remembered
that this suit was instituted He force the
payment ofprizes drawn on tickets held by
Mr.. Reid but which the Lottery Company
refused to pay, upon the ground of al
legged intrigue between their agent here
and the holder of the tickets. We are
clad that the decision has been such as
to refute this imputation, but we regret
that our friend MIR. Reid will not reap
the benefits of it, for we are informed he
had disposed of his claims to a business
house in New Orleans.

CRops.-From all parts Of our Parish
we have encouraging reports of the corn
crop and as the acreage planted has been
largely increased over that of last year
we may confidently expect heavy in
crease in the amount to be harvested.
Cotton, SO far, does not make so good a
showing. 1t is reported as very back
ward, owing no doubt, to the unreasonable
weather of the past few weeks. The cool
nights have materially retarded its growth
and effected it's general condition. The
hot sun of this week will, we trust, prove
of material advantage to the plant.

TWO CASES OF DRY GOODS.

Our citizens will remember the arrival
Of two suspicious looking cases, last Oct.'
accompanied by the Ex-senator, E. l..
Weber and tho ,could be Judge, l..
b. jerks. One case was marked "Mrs.
E. Weber," and the other 81 A. Con-
dram" The correspondent of the New
Orleans Democrat sent special to that
paper at the time, saying that r. l..
Weber had arrived with two cases OF
arms. The New Orleans Republican and
Feliciana Ledger set up an indignant
howl at the idea of the Honorable Senator
furnishing arms to the negroes. A few
nights after, C. L. Fisher and Governor
wickliffe were fred on, with one of these
rifles, as was proven by the metallic
Springfield cartridge that was picked up
the next morning. But for further proof
as regards the contents Of these t'co cases
of Dry Goods, read the following found
among the debris Of the late Fort Pack
ard:

are anxious to return to Bayou Sara and
"shake hands across the bloody chasm."

our business men are perfectly will
ing to do.
Cur towns baing on the river
and at such distance from New
Orleans as to cause the arrival OF
the boats, on Sunday morning, at
or later than 9 o'clock, and as there
must necessarily be. more or LEES
business transacted with them, it is
obvious that our towns do not
stand in a relative position with
interior towns on the Sunday qnes-
ton. Again it would accomplish
nothing to close business places in
Bayou Sara and leave them open in
st. Francisville; this must be clear
to the humblest comprehension
But if our suggestions are adopted
business establishments can, we be-
lievc, be closed after reasonable
hour OF the morning, on Sundays,
in both our toacns, as they clearly
should be.
With this end in view, we make
this suggestion Get D. s. 0. mark
it and not be flying off the handle
again TO 40 purp.se). tia: the city
Council of Bayou Sara appoint
commit Of its members TO confer
with the merchants OF that city. and
let these, unilediy, call into their
deliberations the business men OF
st. Franc!sviIle, and our belief for
it, som. salutary and satisfactory
arrangement will be the result OF the
conference an arrangement that
will work no strained abridgement
Of personal ard individual rights,
and that will, at the same time per-
nit our business men TO offer q
voluntary example Of self:abuega-
ton that would have more solid
weight than all the enforced virtue
that arbitrary enaclments could
ever accomplish.
The fact is, we want D. s. 0. to
be free we want to be free our.
selves ; we want evberybody to be
free but the kind of freedom we
pant after is that Of which Jesus
spoke when he said aye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall

eElghten US, its author stands out
before us as the greatest metaphy-
stefan that the world has produced
III the present age. He is undoubt-
ed'y entitled to he palm as peru
sal Of his effusion will certainly
convince any one who will make
