for the farmer.
Think a Little before You Co.

Do not be in a hurry to throw down your
plow or hoe, or give up your stock breeding OF
dairying, or tree planting, to join the great
army now marching upon the silver deposits of
Leadville, Col. Do not get excited and throw
away good chance for uncertainty. If you
fluid yon have any symptoms of the LeadyilIe
fever, pause and think the matter over we'll
Will it payf The truth is. n good deal of this
talk about that wonderful conntry is greatly
exaggerated, as such things usually are, and
the advantages for acquiring wealth in a mo-
ment are there no greatar for the masses than
they are elsewhere. There may be silver in the
hilis--there is; but every man who goes cannot
own mine; there may be employment in the
town, but the unprecedented influx of people
must leave many with nothing to do 1t is
there it is in all sections which develop q
stampe de-fhere is suffering and misery, and
necessarily much lawlessness developed from
the very condition of things. If you are a
young man On the farm, do not cut loose from a
certainty to go into a region Of which you know
nothing, and where you would soon be reduced
to the level Of the common mob. These mining
camps are demoralizing, and unless one has .
snug sum of money TO invest, be had better
keep away.
The stories which now come from Leadville
are not so rosy those which were first sent.
The romance is wearing of, and the adyeutur-
ers are beginning to realize the fact that paying
mines are few and misery plentifnl.-Prairie

How a Young Lawyer was Taken Down.

1.V" " hOuHS lawyer NSdS laken down.
Young lawyers sometimes despair of defences
which give no encouragement, bnt old practi-
tioners-more especially when the fees are re-
munerative and certain-can see no discourage
ment held forth by the evidence not to counter
balance and overcome by professional acuten ess
and sagacity well paid. A prisoner was arrign-
ed in Kent County, Michigan for stealing pork
He retained a Young, talented and ingenious
member of the profession for his defense. Hay-
ing listened to the prisoners own story and
heard from him what in all probability the peo-
pies witness would swear to, he candidly in
formed his client that it was useless to waste
money on his defense.
"Never you mind" was the confident reply.
''you argue my case good and strong, Just as If
yon believed me prosecuted man, and there
will be twenty dollars for you"
The lawyer worked up to the contract. and
before he had half summed up he had the Jury
in tears. To his establishment, his appeal was
ehective-the prisoner was acquitted.
After the verdict and discharge of the culprit,
and twenty dollars having been paid over, the
lawyer said
"By- the-by, B, that was a most surprising
verdict, considering what the Government prov.
ed"

If the farmer has barn, and a fence around
it, let him plant, outside of that fence, a row OF
evergreens, closely together, SO that nothing
can injure them, and in a few years he will have
such protection from the storms for his stock
that no money could induce him to remove the
trees. We know this to be a fact, and We fur
Their know that where such a 'wind breaker
exists, no shivering stock is to be found. OF
course we would not have these trees all around
the barn, but just at those parts where storms
are most prevalent. And where farmers have
barns, or protection by buildings, and wish to
have protection in some way, let them select
some suitable field, and hedge it in with the
same kind of trees, in the same way they would
their barn yards, they will meet with success,
as every person who has tried the experiment
knows. Let these wind breakers be planted
during the coming summer, and in a few years
no farmer will complain of having no protec-
ton for his stoek-Prairie Fdrmer.

BREAD CREDIBLE CAKEs-The waste of bread
is, in many houses a heavy item. Slices that
might have been toasted are allowed to become
hard ard dry, or even moldy. Broken pieces
and crumbs that would have answered for grid
| die cakes, buildings, or dressing for fowls, have
been overlooked until too old to be fit for use.
| Such negligence does not speak well for the
| housekeeper. The careful housewife will look
through the pantry every day, if possible, to see
that nothing be lost. Our favorite breakfast
cakes are made of bread crumbs, according to
the receipt given herewith: "One pint of bread
| crumbs soaked in rs much thin, sour milk as
they will absorb. Leave over night. In the
morning, stir in one beaten egg, a small tea
spoonful of salt, and flour to make batter of

be needed. One teaspoonful of bicarbonate of
soda. dissolved in very little hot water, should
be stirred in Just before baking. If in the least
sour, use more Soda Bake on hot, we'll creased
griddle. The cakes are better if half teacup-
full of cold boiled rice be soaked with the crumbs.
GEMs.-One quart of flour, one quart of milk
and water, half and half; put -four in basin,
with little salt, and gradually peur in milk and
water, beating up your batter; beat it up light;
put your gem pan in your oven over night; it
can't be too hot; put small lump of butter, as
big as the end of your little finger, in each of
the compartments of the pan; when it is hot,
fill with the batter; bake in a very hot oven
fifteen minutes. No 60, unless oven very hot.
IRISH STEw.-Take piece of loin, or backrbs
a
stewpan with pared raw potatoes, sliced onions
to taste, pepper, salt, and little water. Put
this on to stew slowly for an hour, covered very
close, and shake it occasionally, to prevent it
from sticking to the bottom.
VELVET CAKEs.-Make a batter of one quart
of flour, one quart of milk, three eggs, well
beaten, and wineglassful of yeast; beat all to-
gether, and add little salt, then let it rise,
and put into the -four large spoonful of but

into muffin rings, and bake on griddle.
FRITTERs.-One quart of milk, one pound of
flour, add seven we'll beaten eggs and teaspoon
full of salt. Drop by the spoonful into hot lard,
and fry them light brown.
MEAT PEA nice dish and an economical
one when we have bits of chicken. OF fresh meat,
left over, is made by cutting them from the
bone, and with them making a nice gravy, ad-
ding butter, if desired. Line a pie-dish with bis

Mrs Arthur Galpin, of Watervile, Kas., tells
how she exterminated borers in her box-elder
tree:
"The borer commenced operations about two

CRUEL AND PORRIDGE.-In preparing Cruel, t.
one pint of milk use small tablespoonful Of
sugar and piece of hutter the size of a nutmeg
place the milk in the fire, and, having softened
the meal with a little milk or water, mix it well
with the milk on the stove After il has boiled
five minutes add the butter and sugar and strain
In making Cruel with water, it is well to add q
little port wine just before taking from the stove
In preparing Porridge, the oatmeal should be
placed on the stove in cold water The proper
ton is about three teaspoonfuls of meal to a
pint of water. 1t should be stirred well and
boiled for half an hour. While it is boiling add
q little salt.
CHOPS AND STEAKS FOR THE SICK.-In cook
ing steaks for the sick, they should always be
cut about one inch in thickness. Beat it well
with rolling pin. This renders it tender and
preserves the juice. Place upon broiler and
cook for seven or ten minutes, turning frequent
ly. When done lay it upon a hot plate and sea-
son with salt and pepper and a little butter;
never chop meat with sharp instrument. 1t
sewers the fbers thus allowing the juice TO
escape while cooking.
CURE FOR QUINsY.-A poultice made of sage,
ground fine, and mixed in soft soap. Bind it

To BLANcH LETTUCE.-To produce lettuce
with white heads, the usual way is to tie up thu
heads week or two before the time for cut
ting. Select a dry day, gather the leaves in
the hand in a close rounded form, the inside be-
ing clear of dirt. Pass narrow strip of bass
mating several times around the bali, making
it close at the top to exclude rain and prevent
rotting. Draw little earth around the base
as support in place of the spreading leaves

SHELTER FOR ORCHARDs-Ira J. Blackwell
tells the readers of the Gardeners MoRthIy that
if they wonld set the trees at regular distance s
for orchard planting, in any State of the United
States, and then let the trees branch low, where
hot suns prevail, wonld advocate not higher
than one foot. l think it is the best aud only
shelter needed to protect from sun or cold.
There is another advantage of low trees in ear

to act as cleanser of the soil, when it becom es
foul. When grown for this purpose, it should
be planted three feet apart each way. Ii should
be cultivated once week, until too large to
admit horse, when the corn will so occupy the
