thrown in the bottom OF the wagon or

the stables behind the horses, where the
ammoniacal gases soon destroy the tex

may have been originally it cannot stand

soon becomes old and unsafe. 4 few

aCstes ON Killing Weeds.

Grass and weeds of every description
growing in gravel walks may be extermi-
mated the most expeditiopsly and cheap
~ by the application of common salt in
large quantities. If one dose is not sui
ticient, apply second. Two applications
Of salt will not only kill the weeds now
growing but will prevent their springing
up next season. A barrel of salt, costing
but trife over q dollar, will destroy
more weeds in a gravel walk than man
can kill in the course OF week. A grav-
cl walk entirely free from weed is highly
ornamental as well as useful, but its val
nc and beauty are both destroyed by the
presence Of weeds and grass. Plantain
is mostefectually eraalcated by pulling
it up2wth the hands after a heavy rain.
It may be also destroyed by running a
sharp spade an inch or two below the sur
face of the ground. i To destroy burdocks
and mullen it is advisable to cut the
stalks two or three inches below the sur
face, and to drop handful of salt on the
portion of the root that remains in the
ground = Nd

Save the Corn Stalks.

vi Only, about half a crop of hay has been
raised ID the West this year. 1t is all
the more important therefore, to save
what coarse fodder can be saved. It will
help out the hay, and help along the
stock wonderfully. Z The blades and
stalkstof corn are very healthy food, and
are, relished by all kinds of stock. As
soon as the husks of the ears began to
turn yellow, cut the corn. Put it up in
shocks, sixteen hiusyto the shock, and
put it up carefully so it Will not fall
down or be blown away. 1t can now
stand until you want to husk the ears OF
feed the fodder. It is better to husk it
early, as the mice and other vermin, as
we'll as the weather, will destroy a good
deal of the corn. If put in good cribs. it
is then safe. Haul the stocks and stand
them up agai nst poles, laid in crotches,
near the feeding grounds, or reset the
stocks where they formerly stood and
haul tosthe feedinggrounds as needed
An acre OF corn stalks cut at the right
time, and saved in,the right way and fed
to stock properly,ais worth nearly as
much as an acre of hay. If, however,
the stalks are left till they are dead ripe,
and the leaves become bleached and
whipped off blythe. storms, it will hardly
pay tosave thercorn fodder. Now Is the
very time to go'to work to save it. If
the stalks are little green, so much the
.bettersfor the fodder, and the grains of
corn will not suffer. We shall PROBABLY
10 have early frosts, and if the corn fodder
can be saved before they come, it will be
warth great deal more.

FARM, HOUSE AND GARDEN.
New Process Of Training.

A new patent process of training hop
vines has been introduced into some Of
the best fields Of Central New York. A
pole is planted in each hill in which
there are eight or ten hop-vines. Strings
radiate from the poles and are attached
to other strings that run in two direc-
tons at the height of the poles. By this
arrangement each vine grows by itself,
and all crowding is obviated. As the
vines receive more air and sunshine, the
clusters of hops are larger and better
matured. One grower who has ten acres
OF vines trained in this manner expect to
harvest at least 10000 pounds of market
able hops. Lima beans in this vicinity
trained in a.similar manner have pro-
duced very large and excellent crops.
The pods are larger and the beans better
developed than when several vines are
trained round single pole. = -.

A Pickle Chapter.

Picklette.-Four large crisp cabbages
and one quart Of onions cut fine; two
quarts of vinegar, two pounds of brown
sugar, two tablespoonful each of mus
tard, black pepper, cinnamon, turmer;c
and celery seed; one tablespoonful each
of allspice, mace and pulverized alum
Pack the chopped cabbage and onions IN
alternate layers with little salt between.
Let stand until. the next day. Seald the
vinegar, sugar, spice and alum, and pour
over the cahbages and onions. Do this
three mornings in succession. On the
fourth morning put all over the fire and
boil Eve minutes. When cold, put into
small jars. =
Indian Plckle.-(An English Recipe
Two gallons of good venegai, ene-fourth
pound ginger, Two ounces Of all-spice,
.one-half ounce Of cloves, one-half ounce
af chill pepper, four ounces of black pep
per, four ounces of coarse salt, two ounces
of garlic, two ounces bruised shallots, one
fourth pound of mustard, two tablespoon
full of powdered alum. Tie all these in
gradients in . bag and boil in tho vine
gar twenty minutes. Take small cucum-
bers, onions, beans and tomatoes, scald
them inSboiling, sailed water by pouring
it over and letting them stand until
cold, instead of puttidg over the fire to
scald. Then scald in clear water. The
cucumbers will not need to be scalded
again, but the onions, beans and tomatoes
will require several scaldings. Wipe
them off and throw iuto weak vinegar tor
twenty four hours, then wipe them of
and cover with the Indian pickle. After
they have been in that for three weeks
take them out, drain, and put into pickle
jars, strain tho Indian pickle over and
seal tightly They will keep for years.
In making mine, left out the garlic
as I thought the onions would make it
strong enough.
Tomato Catsup,-Selcct perfectly ripe
sound tomatoes, cut in slices and boil IN
til the pulp is cooked soft. Rub il
through sieve to take out the skins and
seeds, and return to the kettle for cook
ing. To each gallon Of the pulp add
three tablespoonful each OF salt, ground
pepper 7ands mustard, and one each OF
ground'c1oves and allspice. Cook it un.
til it issthick enough TO run slowly from
a bottle. Let it get cold, then bottle
and seal.

An interesting divorce case has lust
been decided by a commission appointed
by the College of Cardinals at Rome. In
1869 the son OF the Prince of Monaco
married Princess Marie Hamilton, "a
ward of the Emperor Napoleon Ill.
The marriage was brought about by the
persistent urging OF the Emperor, and in
spite of a positive dislike entertained by
the lady for the husband her guardian
thrust upon, or. After living with the
Primes only three months she left his
house and returned to her mother. Since
then the couple have kept apart and a
child born of the unhappy union has
been reared by the father. At theinstance
of the relatives the Prince laid the case
before the Holy See, and the Commission
of Cardinals has decided IN favor Of a d.
vorce onthe ground of "mortal compulsion
brought to bear upon the wife to obtain
her consent to the marriage" An appeal
is, however, allowed to another spiritual
tribunal, and then to the Pope himsel
in case the decision is not accepted by
both parties.
