sAYLER'S CHANCES IMPROVING.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia letter has
been received here from a prominent
Southern member of Congress, in which
he states that he has been engaged in a
canvass Of the Speakership OF the nexr
House Of representatives, and he gives
1t as his opinion that in no event can
MIR. Randall he elected. The opposition
to him in the South, the writer says, Is
much greater now than it was at the
close of the last session. The friends
of Morrison, who is also a candidate,
say that in case of his failure to secure
a majority in caucus. he will throw mis-
strength against Mr.. Randall. The gen.
eral impression here is that Sayler, oil
Ohio, is at this time the most promine t
candidate in the field. Cox, OF New
York, has developed considerable
strength, especially IN the South, but
not 81 ftoient, it is believed, to make
him dangerous competitor.

Household Recipes.

GEzsz Three mounds Of sugar
to one gallon Of pure apple juice let il
ferment, rack of, and cork tight in
bottles or demijohns.
LEMON PIE,-Four lemons boiled
very soft one cup Of sugar to each
lemon; chop lemons fine, taking the
pits out; add two we'll beaten eggs and
mix makes two overcrust pies
CoooANUT PUDDING. Crate the meat
Of one cocoanut. Roll very fine, and
sift through q coarse sieve, FIVE Boston
crackers mix this with the grated
cocoanut, add a pint Of milk and three
tabIespoonfuls of butter, just softened
enough to beat /; or, instead, one pint
Of thick, sweet cream Beat six eggs
-yolks and white separately; add a
cup Of sugar beat all together, and
bake like custard Eaten hot or cold.
SUMNER SANDWIoHBs.-Take half a
pound Of butter, three tablespoonfuls Of
mixed mustard, three tablespoonfuls Of
nice sweet oil, little white or red pep
per, little salt and yelk Of an egg ;
braid these together very smoothly and
let it cool. Chep very fine some tongue
and ham. Cut the bread thin spread
over the meat, then the bread, and
press it very hard Trim off all the
edges, that the sandwiches may be Of
one size.
APPLE CUsTARD PIE.-Peel sour ap-
pies and stew until soft and not much
water left in them; then rub them
through a cullender; beat three eggs
for each pie to be baked, and put in al
the rate Of one cup Of butter and one o.
sugar for three pies; season with nut
meg. One egg for each pie will Dc
very well, but the amount of sugar
must be governed somewhat BY the
acidity Of the apples. Bake as pump
kin pies, which they resemble in ap.
pearance. Dried apples are very nice
BY making them little more juicy
You can frost them and return them to
the oven for few moments, which will
Improve their appearance
CRAB APPLE JELLY.-Fill your pre-
serving kettle with apples, then cover
with water boil until they are very
soft; when cool enough squeeze through
thin towel or coarse muslin. To each
pint of the juice add half pound o.

and let it come to boil before adding
the sugar, then boil two or three min,
utes; psur off into glasses or bowls
when cold lay 6ne white paper upon th'

bottled and corked tightly. Put a few
raisins in each bottle, and, with th
color Of champagne it will have som
Of its sparkling quality.

SoTF- HEAD OABBAeEs.-It often oc-
ours that eabbages fail to head-up in
the fall in time to put away for winter.
This, however, instead Of being dis
advantage, may, with little manage
meut, Be turned to a positive advan-
tage and this, too, whether the cab
bages are intended for market or for
home consumption To accomplish
this result all that is necessary is to dig
a trench, say two feet wide, and so
deep that after the topsoil has been
thrown in again and the cabbages set
therein, their heads will barely come
up to a level with the surrounding sur
face. In thus setting the cabbages,
however, care should be taken to press
the top leaves we'll together, packing
the cabbages as close together as pos
sible, covering them with boards, corn
stalks or rubbish Of any kind, on which
a few inches Of earth should be thrown,
leaving the ends of the trench open
until winter has farely set in, when
they, too, should be similarly closed
up. By the spring every cabbage will
have made solid head /; and although
some of them will be rather small to be
marketable, they will appear plump
and solid, and be as crisp and tender
as SO many cauliAewsrs. And what is
more remarkable, when boiled they
emit no unpleasant odor, as is gener-
ally the case with boiled cabbage, and
which is often so repulsive as to be a
complets offset to all the trouble under
taken in raising them. If treating
such cabbages in the way here recon-
mendsd could once become known in
the market. we feel confident they
would always command a preference
over those forming heads in the usual
way, and which are SO apt to show
evidences of decay as soon as spring
opens.

WHITEwAsH FOR 0UTBUILDINGs.
The following is from the proceedings
Of the New York Farmers Club; The
chairman said that, in response to an
INQUIRY for the best whitewash for barns
and outbuildings, he had received the
following Takea busheI Of well burned
lime, white and unslaked, twenty pounds
Of Spanish whiting. seventeen pounds
ofrock salt, and twelve pounds of brown
sugar. Slake the lime and sift out any
course Jumps and mix it into good
whitewash, with about forty gallons OF
water, and then add the other ingre-
1ient and stir the whole together
thoroughly, and put on two or three
coats with common brush. To make
a cream color, add to the above three
pounds Of yellow ochre fawn color,
four pounds lumber, one pound Indian
red, and one of lampblack if gray
or stone color is wanted, add four pounds
Of raw umber and two Of lampblack
DR. Smith said that be was Of the opin-
ion that sugar was Of no service IN the
making of whiteWash. It was nonsen-
steal to use it 10 such mixture, as it
would do no good, and its use would be
simply waste Of money. The rock
salt mentioned be supposed was course
He could not say whether or not the
latter would improve the mixture. Mr..
FIv said that he had found in his ex-
perience that talloW was a good ingre-
dent for whitewash, but DR.. Smith did
not agree with him, as be thought that
talloW would not mix well with lime.

CURING HANS Almost every farmer
has his favorite method of curing bacon,
nor do we propose to treat Of that sub
ject here, except that if be desires to
have his hams extra fine be will secure
bis object best, perhaps, by pursuing
the following course: Have ,wsll-fatted
pork, and after allowing it one night to
cool, cut up and round off the hams to
proper shape, and for every one hun
dred pounds take from eight to ten
pounds of salt, two pounds of brown
sugar, two ounces saltpetre, and one
ounce of ground red pepper. Mix these
ingredients together, dissolying them
ID about four or FIVE gallons Of water to
every hundred pounds Of hams, or just
enough water to cover the meat when
placed in hogshead, but strong enough
to float an egg. After laying in the
brine about Eve or six weeks take out
the hams, hang up, and smoke with
green hickory wood until they have ac-
qulred br0nzs cOiUr, OF BUUh
suit the fancy. Early in March, or be-
fore mild weather has started the flies,
take down the hams and, after wrapping
each one in paper, place them, hook
doWnwards, in bags, well tiled, and hang
up till wanted for use. The middlings
and shoulders, though less important
than the hams, may be treated in the
same way with advantage; but the
hams, being more subject to injury from
the flies, as we'll as more choice, demand
q little extra attention, and none has
proved more sffectual than the above or
called forth more special encOmiums.

CHARCOAL FOR SICK ANNALS
Nearly all sick animals become 50 by
improper feeding in the first place
Nine cases out Of ten the digestion is
wrong. Charcoal is the most efficient
and rapid corrective. It will cure
majority Of cases, if properly admins
tered. An example Of its uses. The
hired man came in with the intelligence
that one Of the finest cows was very
sick, and kind neighbor proposed the
usual drugs and poisons The owner
being i'll and unable to examine the
COW, concluded that the trouble came
from ogereating and ordered teaspoon
full Of pulVerized charcoal to be given
in water. It was mixed, placed in a
junk bottle, the head turned upward,
and the water turned downward. In
FIVE minutes improvement was visible,
and 10 few hours the animal was in
the pasture quietly grazing Another
instance Of equal success occurred with
a young heifer which had become badly
bloated BY eating green apples after q
hard wind. The bloat was so severe
that the sides were as hard as barrel
The old remedy, saleratus, was tried
for correcting the acidity. But the at
tempt to put it down always caused
coughing and it did little good. Half
teacupful Of fresh powdered charcoal
was given. In six hours all appear
ance Of the bloat had gone, and the
heifsr was well.-Raral Ne,0 Yorker.

GRoWING AND FATTENINe Hoes -
The hog is accustomed to a great Vari-
ETY. Of food. He will eat animal and
hsrbaeeous food alike-there is nothing
that comes amiss to him, and be thrives
upsn all. To select food for him, then,
is not the thing. Though you can fat
ten them on one kind Of food, you can
not do it economically. Take what
breed you like, and it is economy in
producing the greatest results from q
given amount Of food-that is the point
that gives the profit in hog husbandry
The cheapest food, then, is to be sought
If it answers the purpose. By the
cheapest we mean also that which he
relishes and thrives upon. Corn alone,
though the great hog fesd-made a
specialty-lH not the most advantage
Gus. The exception to- this is in the
West, where corn is very cheap. But
even here, other grain and food added,
will produce a better growth Of muscle
and fat All animals require variety
Of food, and the hog is no exception
His appetite then will be satisfied, and
all the wants Of his system supplied -
Grass in summer suits him be revels
in clover field. Milk suits him the
whole year round. and assists a rapid
growth. Milk contains a great variety
Of elements in solution, and is an aid to
the digestion Of the more solid food
He likes vegetables-they stimulate his
appetite, not only for the vegetables,
but for the most concentrated and richer
food Though 'hOg," he is govern
ed BY the same physiological principles
as other animals, and is, therefore, liza
Bile to disease-to many ailments ; but
most Of these are caused By abuses in
management Where he is well at
tended to, aud supplied with a variety
of good food, he seldom suffers from
disease.
