Potato Culture.

Potatoes are crop that can be raised
more proftably upon artificial manure
than most others. Stable manure con-
tains too large proportion OF ammonia
for the potash contained in it, and when
we apply enough stable manure to sup
ply the potash needed by the crop. We
have such surfeit of ammonia that the
potatoes produce enormous vines and
large, watery tubers. The writer has a
piece of drained meadow or swale land
which has been cropped with potatoes for
five years in succession; MANFRED heavily
for the first three years with horse
manure it produced very heavy but
watery crops, $50 to 800 bushels per acre
of Early Rose potatoes. About three
quarters of an acre of this land was
planted in 1876 with Early Rose potatoes
without any manure whatever, and pro-
duced at the rate of $50 bushels per acre.
The same three-quarters of an acre in
1876 was dressed with 200 lbs. of Stock
bridge potato fertilizer applied in the
drill and brushed over with birch broom
Just before planting the sprouts; the crop
has been harvested, and to all appearance
is as good as last year, which it would
certainly not have been without some
fertilizer.
Sprouted potatoes have another adj
vantage over late ones, they sooner get
ahead of the bugs and are less likely to
be seriously injured by them. The
Early Rose potato is not as good as five
years ago; it is less productive and more
subject to watery cavities in the middle
of the tubers, and is more subject to the
rot; this latter trouble, however, is not
in general very troublesome with sprout-
ed potatoes. They are nearly always
marketed before the rust strikes the
vines, which generally happens in
August, and is Immediately followed by
the rot The rust and rot have been
abundantly proved to be the work of a
fungus by the researches of Prof. w. G.
FarIaw, of the Bussey Institution. There
is no known remedy except to dig early.

FARM AND HOME.
Profitable Pigs.

An exchange gives the following re-
port of an experiment in pig-feeding:
Bought two April pigs, grade Berk-
shire, the two weighing about 125
pounds. They were fed altogether on
shelled corn, soaked from twenty-four to
thirty-six hours, until freezing weather,
about the middle of November; from
which time until butchered, the soaked
corn was mixed with boiled corn and
warmed. They ran in an ordinary pas
ture, with constant access to pure water,
and had one or two bucketfuls of slop
per day. Butchered on December 18th !;
the two weighed 418 pounds net, equal
to $50 pounds gross, having gained 400
pounds in three and one-half months,
which averages about Ii pounds each
per day. The record stands as follows:
70 cost of two pigs............ ..-.-.S6.OO
To bus old corn at 80 cts......... APO
To 15% bus. new corn at 80 cts. 7.75 $17.05
By 525 lbs gross at 81 cts................34.l2
Profit Ii
Twenty-Five and one-half bushels OF
corn made 40 pounds live weight, max
ing III pounds per bushel, and paying
113 cents per bushel for the corn; pretty
good price.

The Household.

KENTUCKY CORN CAKE.-Take one
quart of corn-meal and two tablespoon
fuls of common wheat -four, (not prepar-
ed y add salt to taste, md mix thoroughly
with sufficient quantity of buttermilk
to form batter. Next melt heaping
tablespoonful of lard, stir it with the bat
ter well, and bake in hot griddle, pour
ing them thin. By this receipt the full
flavor of the corn-meal is obtained,
unmixed with the taste of molasses,
which many people mistakenly deem
necessary to cause the cakes to bake
brown.
To Boil SWEET CoRN.-Choose full
grown corn, and let the rows be even and
medium size. Pierce the grain with
your nail, and if the corn is fresh and
tender the milk will escape in a jet and
not be thick. Corn, like potatoes, is best
steamed. If no steamer is at hand, place
the corn in just enough water to cover it,
and boil Is or 20 minutes, according to
the size of the kernel. If boiled too long
it becomes hard. Send it to the table
wrapped in napkin or towel placed on a
meat plate. Serve hot.
To ROAST CoFFEE.-If you desire to
have extra fine favored coffee, buy the
green coffee-pure Java. Pick it over,
wash it well, drain it, and spread it out
ON pie pans; roast it in moderate oven,
or on top of the range; stir it often to
keep it from burning, and roast it until
it is good brown; then drop small
piece OF butter in each pan, and mix it
up just enough to make the coffee shine
grind it fresh every morning. The
flavor will then equal if not excel the
Vienna coffee.
GOLDFISH BALLs.-The desiccated cod
fish put up in boxes is the best, and
equally cheap; as it is already cooked
and SHREDDED, all disagreeable odor is
avoided; it can be prepared for the break
fast-table in twenty minutes; add as
much boiled and mashed potatoes as fish
the potatoes are best cold, with q lump
of butter, and moistened with little
milk; if they are to be extra nice, add
one or two beaten eggs, according to the
quantity of potatoes and fish; make
them into balls and cakes with Toured
hands, and then melt some lard in a
frying-pan to boiling-heat, and fry the
cakes to good brown.
CHOCOLATE SQUAREs.-One cupful
butter, two of sugar, one of milk, two
and half of -four, one and one-half
teaspoonful of powder; bake in
layers in biscuit pan; place between
them the following mixture, cut in
squares. Icing-Dissolve one sheet OF
isinglass in one cupful boiling water
mix with it one cake of grated chocolate
and one cuptul powdered sugar, to the
consistency of cream; for the top, mix
the remainder of the icing with cupful
sugar. favored with lemon; spread thin.
MUSHROOM CATsUP.-Take quantity
of large mushrooms, wipe them clean
with wet, soft cloth, crush them well
with your hands, and then cover them
well with salt; let them stand all night;
the next day put them into stew-pans, set
them in slow oven, and let them re-
main II hours, strain them through a
hair sieve; to every gallon of liquor add
one ounce each of ground cloves, black
pepper, and ginger, two ounces of table
SALT set on slow fire, and let it boil
until one-half of the liquor has boiled
away; when quite cold bottle for use.

FROM TUscARoRA AND COLUMBUS

A gentleman largely identified with some
of the leading mining interests on the coast.
arrived in this city yesterday afternoon on the
Southern Stage, coming from Tuscarora and
Columbus. He reports Tuscarora as one OF
the most promising camps in the State. As
yet not much has been done toward placing
any of the mines there, excepting the Grand
Prize, on paying basis, but next spring a
greater activity in that direction will prevail.
He speaks of the Naval 10 mine, owned by W.
Fl. Clarke of Virginia, and others as being
as promising piece of property as the Grand
Prize. An astounding amount of work has
been performed on that mine in an exceed
ingly short space of time. They claim to
dump, assaying $3.50 per ton. The work on
this property will be vigorously pushed dur
ing the winter to enable the owners to make
frstclass exhibit next spring. There is
much other valuable property located there
which will all make a good showing within
the coming twelve months. Our informant
adds that at present, however, Tuscarora is a
poor camp for fat broke men. Of Columbus
he also speaks well; but there has not yet been
sufficient capital thrown into that camp to
develope all that is in sight. The Northern
Belle Co. are not able to hoist enough ore to
keep both of their mills fully employed, and
are therefore sinking perpendicular shaft to
strike 200 feet below the 10th level A J.
Rhodes has gone to San Francisco for the
purpose of procuring capital to bring water
from the White Mountains to Candaleria,
which project will cost frem 100000 to
$40, 900. Our informant is quite carried away
with the vast array of rich mines in the South
md predicts, as others do, glorious future
or that section.

BEWARE OF THE FRAUD.

Recently a number of circulars have been
received in this city, from jewelry q firm in
New York, advising the parties to whom they
were addressed that they had drawn gold
watches or other valuable prizes in the Louis
vile lottery, and that by transmitting ten per
cent. of the value of such prizes, they would
be forwarded by express. Among those who
received advice of this character is
gentleman connected with the Carson Mint !;
his circular informed him that he had drawn
gold watch and chain, valued at $3.50, and
that by renting the per centage, SIS, the
valuables would be sent to his address. This
gentleman requested the firm who advised
him of his good fortune to send the truck
along, and if upon examination, everything
proved to be as represented, the required
percentage should be forthcoming Yester-
day morning he received the following reply,
which ought to speak for itself
''New York. Oct I'd, 1877.
-, Dear Sir: Yours received. We
are not authorized by the Finance Committee
to allow these prizes to be examined If you
do not wish to pay the percentage due on the
watch and chain, please instruct the express
agent to return the goods to us.

SUDDEN DEATH.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Mark NJ. Gaige re-
ceived telegram announcing the death of his
brother Edward at Valleys Springs. Upon
his return from there, Mr.. Gaige informed us
of the particulars: Ee had been i'll for some
days, and had gone to the Springs to recruit.
Night before last he took a dose of medicine.
Yesterday morning he was up at an early hour
and declared himself feeling better. About
o'clock he entered one of the steam closets,
small tight room into which the hot vapor
from the springs arises. He was gone so long
that the people at the hotel became alarmed
Upon entering the closet, about s o'clock, he
was discovered quite dead. He had probably
tainted and lacked the strength to recover.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict of Death
from natural causes. Deceased was pioneerof
the Pacific, painter by trade and an excel
lent mechanic. We knew him as singulary
quiet, unobtrusive man, whose ways of life
we're peaceful and Industrious The shock is
a terrible one to his brother, who has our
earnest sympathy. The funeral as stated
elsewhere, will take place to-day at 2 o'clock
from the Presbyterian church.

imported from place where mad beasts have
been roaming and biting. The other day in
Paris, greyhound which had been bitten by
dog supposed to be mad was killed Such
is the law. Safety demands it's execution.
As illustrating the rigorous execution of the
laws of France it is to be added that this grey
| hound wss purchased of Lord Salisbury at a
cost of 81, 900! He received the bite which
sealed his doom only fifteen days after fetch
ing this extraordinary price. There is a
good deal of regret expressed that the KEEL

West and grow up with the country! We
have hitherto referred to the paucity of lee
lures as method of entertainment hereaway.
Once we had Josh Billinga, once we enjoyed
delightful evening with Theodore Tillon,
and Bob Ingersol gave US couple of nights,
last Spring. But the regular channel which
moves the lecture stream runs in different
course from ours. The Lyceum is not Pa

that there are no mad dogs here. Also, in our
