RECIPES, ETC.


BUTTER TAFFY.-One-ha1f pint mo-
lasses, one-haf pint water, one pound
loaf sugar, one quarter pound butter.
Let boil without stirring until, by drop
ping little in water, you find it is
done.
To MAKE candied lemon or pepper
mint for colds, boil one and one-half
pounds of sugar in pint of water till
it begins to candy round the sides; put
in eight drops of essence; pour it upon
buttered paper, and cut it with knife.
BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING.-Cut
stale bread loaf in slices, and spread
each slice with good butter; take a deep
pudding dish; cover the bottom of it
with the bread, and strew in few cur
rants or stoned raisins; then put in an
other layer of bread; and so on until the
dish is two-thirds full. Have ready six
eggs, half pound of white sugar. and
quart of milk, seasoned with any kind

this into the dish, and let it stand two

THE orchard is the only part of the
farm that is expected to yield two crops,
and so long as the practice prevails of
taking off crop of hay or grain in ad-
dition to one of fruit, so long shall we
have complaints of bitter rot and other
evils. Not only should the land be
given up to the trees, when of bearing
age, but these should be manured, il
not every year, at least every third
year, not by putting small heap next
to the trunk, but by spreading a good
dressing over the whole surface. fLhe
season allows, this may be spread now
and turned under by shallow plowing.
If the ground is frozen, draw out the
manure and leave it until spring.
SPARKLING BROTH, Or BEAN SOUP
Procure one quart of small black beans,
or white ones will do, and soak them in
boiling water over night. In the morn
ing put the beans in six quarts of water
in a large boiler, adding some beef OF
mutton or any kind of cold meats that
you may have in the house, first crack
ing the bones and cutting off the fat
from the meat. Put to it one large
onion, some nutmeg and whole pep
pers Set it on the fire where it will
simmer nine hours. Then strain it,
rubbing all the mealy parts of the
beans through the sieve. Wash the
boiler and return the soup to it to heat
up. When served cut up half a lemon
in very thin slices and lay in the bot
tom of the tureen, pouring, boiling.
over them.
The horse should be protected from
the winds so he will have no currents
about him, while he should have plenty
of fresh air not surcharged with am.
monia arising from decaying and de
composing manure. And especially
should his stable be kept clean and vel
bedded. He has right to this, and
any one Withholding this from him i!
dishonest. When all of mans wrong
doing is righted, there will be fearfu
account against him for his neglect o
his dumb brutes, whose business it i,
for him to tenderly care for, and hae
we the power we would parade th'
ghosts of some animals before th'
visions of their owners in the hours o
their festivity. Then, we say, provide
comfortable stables, and blanket horses
when warm from hard drives. Tarr,
not at the saloon, the social -neighbor'
or singing schools when the patien
horses are suffering, hitched to a post
in the cold winds. If you cannot ap
preciate this advice, some stormy nigh
hitch yourself to a post for four hour
while your horses are in a warm sta

comfort as you have.
