The Mexican Question.

The government of Mexico is hardly
warranted in her sudden outburst of
hostile feeling toward the government
Of the United States in consequence OF
the order given Gen. Ord. It Is only
just to say that the Washington govern
ment has always been friendly to that
of Mexico No other government but
that Of Mexico could have transgressed
the law Of nations by her frequent depre-
dations upon the lives and property of
citizens of the United States without
causing war Even now the orders
given Gen. Ord are based upon certain
conditions which do not ask any repair
alton for past oiienses but only that
such oilcnses do not occur in the fu-
turc While these orders may possibly
open the way to the encouragement Of
raids from Mexico into the United States
by parties interested III creating trouble
between the two countries, Mexico does
not consult her own welfare, not to speak
Of that Of American citizens, by cham
pioning the cause of the maraudering
parties 1t is certainly not the desire
of the American people to engage in u
war OF conquest, or u war Of any kind
against the government of Mexico, and
the voice of the American people will
be the guide Of their government but
while this is true Mexico should not ex-
pect the United States will forever toll
crate all manner of disorder and law
lessness, not only upon Mexican terri
tory, but on the territory Of the United
States Us well. 1t will be a compare
lively easy task for Mexico to render
harmless the orders of Gen. Ord, and
the necessity for doing so ought to be
apparent to her.

Hees.

A Putnam county, Fla, correspondent
of the Bee-K Keepers Magazine, gives that
paper the following graphic account of
his experience in keeping bees, having
never handled bees before;
My experience in bee excepting began in
April, 1874; my brother proposing that
if / would buy a few stands he would
take the management of them, attend to
the hiving, etc. l was invariably stung
when passing neal them, and the sting
being very painful, and swelling badly,
made me too timid to think of having
anything to do with them. We bought
four stands in common box hives for $40,
in April, 1874, after the swarming
season, and brought them home in a row
boat at night. Two of them broke down,
and one of them proved a total loss.
That summer, when robbing time came,
nv brother knocked off the top of n
stand, and cut out a fine lot of honey /;
but so many bees were drowned in that
operation, that we would not bother the
other two. We then got a copy of Lang
stroth on the Honey Bee, the only book
we could learn of at that time, and that
fall made three Langstroth hives. Early
in March, 1875, we had three swarms,
our first increase, and got them, by in
formation gained from our book, safely
into our hives. To our surprise they
swarmed again in April, and we had to
put them into box hives, increasing our
number to eight. Having glass in the
ends of our Langstroth hives, we watched
them with great and increasing interest
as we saw the frames filling with nice
comb and honey. The frames being
capped over in June, W @ made Jul first
attempt to open or lift the top to secure
our share, but only to find the cover
securely fastened down. Having put
sleats on both ends and sides of the
over, we shut out all chance of getting
a knife under to cut the propolis, and
we were compelled to break up the cover,
iniuring bees snd frames badly.
That fall | bought the right to make
and use the Thomas hives, n one
colony of Italians in a finished hive for
| 500. They did not arrive until April,
owing TO a mistake in shipping, and our
bees has nearly gone through swarming.
We found ourselves with twenty colonies
in boxes, but later we had a few more
warns of. aud we succeeded in getting
six into frame hives. Though late in
May, they filed a full set of small boxes
each.
We had impoverished some rough sur
plus boxes for the old fashioned hives,
and from them and the six Themas
hives sold Sl42 wsrth of honey, and kept
a liberal share of honey for family use.
The year closed with twenty-six good
colonies of Blacks, one colony of Italians
and a nucleus of Italians from DR.. j. z.

CALVES OR PICS FEET BLANC
MANGE.-Boil one set of feet in four or
five quarts of water, without salt. When
reduced to n quart, strain; d n
quart of milk, using any flavor, that is
agreeable. Then boil the whole fifteen
minutes, and sweeten, and pour into
molds.
DRIPPING CAKE.-Mix well together
two pounds of flour, a pint of warm milk
and a tablespoonful of yeast let it rise
about half an hour, then add 0ne-halt
pound of brown sugar, one-fourth pound
of currants and one-fourth pound of good,
fresh beef dripping beat the whole well
fer nearly o%ne-fourth of an hour and
bake in a moderate hot oven.
SWEET PICKLEs.-Take one pint of
salt, one gallon of water; slice in one
peck green tomatoes; let them stand
over night take out and rinse well take
three pounds sugar, one gallon vinegar,
allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, of each
two tab%lespoonfuls tie in a cloth, let it
boil slowly, stirring occasionally, until
done.
ANIcE CREAM CAKE,--One cup white
sugar, t~wo-thirds of a cup of cream, two
eggs, two cups sugar, one t~easpoontul
c~ream.tartar, one-halt t~easpoonful soda.
This will make seven thin cakes, between
which spread the cream. For the cream
take one-halt pint of milk, put into a
basin of hot water on the stove, beat n
egg with white sugar enough to sweeten,
and add two t~easpoonfuls corn-starch ;
stir this into the milk when hot, and
flavor with vanilla and cinnamon. When
cool put between the cakes.
To KEEP RIPE FRUIT.--Gather the
fruit perfectly dry and sound, and weigh,
with an equal quantity of white sugar,
which must be finely pounded. Bruise
the fruit very gently in a mortar, not
sufficiently to force the juice to flow,
then put into wide-mouthed bottles,
strewing the sugar in among it. Fill
the bottles entirely, leaving only space
for a coating of mutton suet, which will
effectually exclude the air. Raspberries,
strawberries, ~gooseberries c%urrants, pre-
served this way, make delicious tarts or
cream in the winter.
CUCUMBER PIoKLEs.--The small, long
kind are the best for pickles and those but
half grown are nicer than the full-grown.
Let them be freshly gathered, pull off the
blossom, but do not rub them. Pour
over them a strong brine boiling hot,
cover closely, and let them stand all
night In the morning drain on a sieve,
and dry them in a cloth. To each quart
OF best cider vinegar, put one-half ounce
of whole black pepper, the same OF ginger
and ~allspice, and one ounce of mustard
seed---add onions if agreeable. When
this picked vinegar boils up, throw in
the cucumbers and make them boil as
qnickly as possible for three or four
minutes--no longer. Put them in a jar
with the boiling vinegar and cover closely.
Made in this way your pickles vii! be ten
der, crisp, and green. If the color is
not quite clear enough, boil the vinegar
over the next day, then pour it over the
cucumbers and cover perfectly tight.

FARM AND HOME.


The opinion very generally entertained
that the meadow saffron, as commonly
met with in low-lying or ill-drained
PASTURES, is harmless to cattle feeding on
Them. appears to be altogether ill-found-
ed, Oftentimes cases OF illness and of
death occurring among such beasts are
attribu ted to every cause but the right
one. and it is only recently that the
poisonous character of the plant at Ger:
tain stages of its growth has been at all
generally recognized and pointed out.
The fact is that while the fully grown
leaves of the meadow saffron can be eat
en- by cattle with impunity, or at all
events with such trifing disturbance of
the digestive organs as to attract no
special attention, the same parts of the
plant in a younger stage of development
contain a very large amount of the &C.
tive principle ~colchicine, the poisonous
properties of which nave been establish
ed by repeated observations, especially
in Syria, where the loss of many valua-
BILE cattle from this cause has been
recently accorded.
