Useful Hints for Housekepers.

CHTcKES SoUP.-Take chicken
weighing about three pounds. Cut it
in quarters and place in porcelain pot.
Add two quarts of water and let ii boil
one hour. Then have frying pan
ready with a lump of butter, and remove
the chicken to it, and have some boiled
rice ready, cooked in another saucepan
about one cupful of boiled rice-as
boiling the rice with the chicken i'm
proves the flavor of the soup Add
about one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, one onion and small carrot,
in very thin slices boil the giblets
separately, and when the chicken is a
rich brown remove it to make gravy by
adding half cup of water, one table
spoonful -four, and the giblets chopped
fine. Serve the gravy separately.
MrNCE PIEs.-Boil fresh tongue !;
chop it very fine, after removing the
skin and roots when cold, add one
pound of chopped suet, two pounds
stoned raisins, two pounds currents,
two pounds citron cut in fine pieces,
six cloves powdered, two teaspoonfuls
cinnamon, half teaspoonful mace, one
pint brandy, one pint wine or cider, two
pounds sugar; put this all in stone
Jar and cover well; in making
pies chop some apples very fine, and to
one bowl of the prepared meat take two
of apples; add more sugar, according to
taste, and sweet cider enough to make
the pies juicy, but not thin 7; mix, and
warm the ingredients before putting into
your pie-plates always bake with an
upper and under crust, made with one
cup of lard, one of butter, one of water,
and four of four.-M. A.

Insects and Flowers.

1t has long been known that flowers
were necessary to insects; but it is
only within the last few years that it
has been discovered that insects are
quite rs necessary to flowers. There are,
however, but two or three tribes of in
sects whose visits are servicable to
flowers in the way Of fertilization. The
Lepidoptera or butterfly tribe are espee-
tally so, and the moths flying by night
and visiting such flowers rs are only
open at that time, are furnished with Il
trunk orprob0scis which sucks up honey
in its fluid state, and, in seeking it, the
insect becomes covered with pollen,
which it transfers from flower to flower.
In this way q single insect will fertilize
many flowers. Besides being attracted
by the color Of flowers, insects seem in
capable Of approaching taste and smell,
just "a the higher animals do. What
flowers are to insects, fruits are to birds
and mammals. Both are colored, scent
ed and sweet; but they have acquired
their various allurements for the at
traction of widely different creatures

Hog Breeding and Feeding.


With our general good crop of corn
in the West, there is an active interest
in hogs The very low prices ruling
makes it of the utmost importance to
look well to the breeding and feeding,
for herein lies the profit. The breeding
may be Of any Of the established breeds,
according TO taste or preference, the
nearer full blood the breeding sows the
better, but the breeding boar should
always be full blood Of some of the
established breeds, and the breeding
bears should frequently be changed
fresh blood give constitutional vigor,
stamina, health and thrift. We are
inclined to think that much Of the di-
sease among our hogs is from too close
imbreeding. Experienced breeders find
the best hogs are produced from SOW
and boar from two to five years old; a |
SOW should never have pigs until one /
year old, or she will be stunted in her |
growth; pigs should stay with the
mother until six or eight weeks old. |
Keep the hogs on grass for a healthy
growth in spring, summer and fall, with /
vegetables and roots in winter keep
them in warm clean quarters in winter
their bedding should be changed every |
day or two.
With the present small margin for
profit more care must be given to this |
important interest usually the corn is
shoveled into pen, perhaps muddy or
perhaps dry, not even clean water for
the hogs to drink and these hogs are
literally burned up with corn, and if
they begin to die the balance are hurried
to market Give your fattening hogs
clean pen, feed on floor or trough out
of the mud. Corn is our main feed for |
fattening hogs, but there is a consisten-
cy in all things. Give them every week
if not all the time some ground feed |
and if cooked all the better; mixture /
of ground oats is healthy and cooling. |
Our most progressive feeders are feed |
ing largely on ground feed and most of
them are cooking their feed; either or
both are a great saving in feed and give
better returns or more rapid fattening
keep good supply of pure clean water,
give salt and ashes often charcoal is
also healthy and often greedily eaten.
The best way to give it is to char a pile
of corn on the cob and let them eat it
this burnt corn is by many considered
a good remedy for hog cholera.-Ex-

THE CLARION.
Success in Farming.

4 correspondent Of the New England
Farmer thinks it unfortunate that 60
many complaints of ill-success IN farm
ing are continually published, and
points out that the extent to which 1t Is
conducted on borrowed capital Is in
most cases the secret Of the difficulty.
There is much sense in the following
extract:
READERS of agricultural papers do
not often find successful farmers relating
their experience, and giving such de
tails of the management of their business
"a would encourage others to persevere.
And vet these are just the men we all
want to hear from The croakers are
too numerous and altogether too fond
Of blaming the business for their non
success. The trouble is in the men;
not in the business. When | learn that
only one farm in twenty-five is paid
for when bought, the wonder to me Is,
not that so many fail, but that so many
succeed. When Richard Roe buys
John Does farm for 81 800, pays 49,
900 down, and gives a mortgage for
81, 500 at per cent, expect TO make
living for himself and pay Mr.. Doe $50
a month interest, and have net or 4
per cent. at the end of the year on
81 900, it brings no surprise to me that
Mr. Roe finds such farming don't pay. |
What does the man own in fact? Just /
SO, 900 That figure represents his cap |
itaL There is no kind of business to be
found to-day other than farming in
which So 900 can be made to yield any
kind of a living to a family without
on the principal. Any gain III
interest is not to be thought of.
Those farmers who had 50 little fore
sight as to buy more land than they
could handle are simply doing what
numbers of men in other callings have
done, will do for all time, giving way to
men who know how to handle money.
That's the rub Men undertake too
much on too little capital, and inevlta-
bly, fail 1t is not for the general good
hat farmers of this class should parade
heir misfortunes at every opportunity,
public opinion on matter
hat lies at the very base of our nation
il prosperity. Farming does pay, and
,ays we'll on the capital actually invest
ID, with such general intelligent man
cement as would be necessary in other
business. There is no other business
which offers as good security for the in {
-estment; there is no other business /
which brings more contentment and {
ess wearying anxiety Of mind. The :
nan who owns his farm and has or / t
er cent. at the end of year on the t
asst paid up capital, after supporting
is family, i actually in better condi- q
ion than nine-tenths Of the men in any n

TIE farm belonging to Mr.. William
Dalrymple, in the northern part of Min
nesota, covers thirty square miles. The
quantity sown with wheat in 1873 was
1900 acres; the yield was $50, 900
bushels of wheat. Seventy-five reaping
and binding machines were used to har-
vest the crop, the work being done at
the rate of 1000 acres a day. This
farm is divided into two sections Of 9, 900
acres, over each of which an overseer is
placed. Comfortable quarters are pro-
vlded for the overseers, while there is a
large clearinghouse for the accommo-
dAtion of the farm hands. The vast
estate employs upwards of $50 laborers
and $50 horses and mules. There are
three book-keepers to look after the ac-
counts, and two cashiers to receive and
disburse the money A neighbor of
Mr.. Dalrymple is Mr. B. P. Cheney.

A Most Useful Acid.
From the Chemical Journal.

Il IOL1 Vic OHSulICdl OOuIudl
The beneficial effects of salicylic acid
as medicine have been much discussed
in the medical journals since 1875, when
the acid was first administered as a
remedy for rheumatism. Its antiseptic
properties render it useful in eruptive
diseases, in diptheria and it has the
further advantage when properly made,
of being colorless and taseless. 1t kills
bacteria and other animalcules, and de-
stroys the unpleasant odOr of wounds.
Professor Kelbe Of Leipzig, in his many
experiments with acid, found that rain
or river water containing one-twenty-
thousandth of a grain thereof would
keep sweet in a warm room four weeks
or more, while similar water not so
treated soon became unpleasant to the
taste. This was confirmed by an ex-
pertinent on a large scale; water charg
ed with one gramme of salicylic acid to
twenty litres was placed on board ship
for a years voyage, and was found
sweet and free from organic matter
when at the end the casks were opened.
Milk treated with the acid remains sweet
more than day longer than without it.
Eggs after bath of the acidifed water,
keep sweet for months in dry place;
and meat sprinkled with the powdered
acid and packed in jar acquires no
unpleasant odor. Wine may be kept
from turning sour by the use of the
acid brewers find it useful in some of
their processes; and its property of
putrefaction is turned to ac-
count in the making Of glue and other

it over line until dry.
RESTORATIVE MILK.
Boil together equal quantities of new
milk and water, and add one ounce OF
candied cringo root, to be bought OF Il
chemist; sweeten with white sugar can
dy, and strain.
TO REMOVE OLD IRON MOLD.
DR.. Thompson recommends that the
part stained should be remoistened with
ink. and this removed with muriatic
acid diluted with five or six times its
weight of water, when it will be found
that the old and new stain will be re-
moved simultaneously.
POLISH FOR PATENT-LEATHER GOODS
Take half pound of sugar, one ounce
of gumarabic, and two pounds OF ivory
black boil them well together, then let
the vessel stand until quite cooled and
the contents are settled; after which,
bottle off. This is an excellent reviver,
and may be used as backing in the or
binary way, no brushes for polishing be-
ingrequired.
MENDING BROKEN CHINA.
Diamond cement for glass and china
is made in the following manner: Take
isinglass one ounce, distilled water SIX
ounces, alcohol an ounce and a half,
warm in water bath till dissolved, and
strain the solution. Add to the clear
solution, while hot, milky emulsion of
gum ammoniac half an ounce, alcoholic
solution of gum mastic five drachms.
This possesses great adhesive qualities.
MILDEw FROM LINEN OR MUSLIN
Here are two methods: First, wet
the spotted part with a solution of chic
ride of lime, or chlorine water, and the
stain will Immediately disappear then
wash out in warm water. Second, mix
some soft soap with powdered starch,
half as much salt, and the juice of a
lemon lay it on the spotted part with
4 brush, then let the article lie on the
grass day and night till the stain comes
)ut.
FOR CLOSING CRACKS IN STOVES, |
ETC.
A useful cement for closing up cracks !
n stove plates, stove doors, etc, is pre-
pared by mixing inely-pulverized iron,
such as can be procured at the drug
sist's, with liquid water-glass, to a thick
paste, and then coating the cracks with
t. The hotter the fire then becomes,
he more does the cement melt and com |
,ine with its metallic ingredients, and
he more completely will the crack be-
,Ome closed.

Influence of Temper on Health.

Our English contemporary, Capital
and Labor, which is generally correct in
its assertions, thinks that while excess
sive labor, exposure to wet and cold,
deprivation of sufficient quantities of
necessary and wholesome food, habitual
bad lodgings, sloth and intemperance
are deadly enemies to human life, none
of them are so bad as violent and I'M
governable passion. Men and women
have survived all the former, says the
writer, and at last reached an extreme
old age; but it may be safely doubted
whether single instance can be found
of man of violent and irascible tenn
per, habitually subject to storms of I'M
governable passion, who has arrived at
a very advanced period of life. 1t is,
therefore a matter of the highest i'm
portance to every one DESTROYS of pre-
serving "a sound mind In n sound
body" to have special care, amid all
the vicissitudes and trials of life, to
maintain quiet possession of his own
spirit.
