THE VALUE OF PoULTRY.-1. X
Felch tells the Scientific Farmer that of
all the agricultural pursuits. none pays
better than the labor bestowed upon
the poultry on the farm. This fact is
acknowledged, and yet how many Of
our farmers fail to make the same care
full outlay for their poultry that they do
for their cows and swine They run the
dairy with care, and the butter-box
GOES to market each week regularly
Why not have as a companion TO it n
poultry farm and an egg box? The
sour milk from the buttcr-maklng will
pay far better fed to poultry than to
hogs. Poultry sell at an average high
err price than beef or pork, and it costs
no more to make it. Our farmers in
most cases near our cities have regular
customers for their butter; these same
parties would take weekly much larg-
er amount in moneys worth OF poultry
and eggs. In this way 200 fowls upon
farm would pay as much into the fam
/ lily fund as would ten COWS. Many oil
our farmers do not believe this but let
them try the experiment of keeping an
exact account with both cows and hens,
and they will find what we tell them is
true. One bushel and peck ofcorn, OF
its equivalent in other food, will keep e
hen twelve months.

The making of bricks by steam, as
recently introduced, Is stated to be
very rapid and economical in opera
ton. II is also quite simple. The
clay, after it has passed through iror
rollers which pulverize the small
stones and reject the large ones, is
carried TO the top of the buildings, and
then falls into the diSintegrator, which
makes $50 revolutions per minute
Here it is reduced to a fine powder
and passes off into pipe, where, by
the addition of steam, it is mostened
enough to give to its particles q
proper cobesiveness. This pipe feeds
a wheel furnished with moulds, which
in the two revolutions it makes each
minute, turns out 232 bricks AS the
wheel revolvcs, the bricks drop out
on to au endless belt which carries
them to a shed, where they are
loaded by hand upon small cars,
which arc rolled over into drying
ovens and allowed to dry there during
five hours, the dampness in these
ovens being constantly Withdrawn by
an exhaust fan; after this they are
stacked in kilns and fired.

OusehOId Recipes.

Cleaning Silver Spoons.-The dis
agreeable discoloratiOn of egg can be
readily taken from silver spoons by
washing them in potato water-water
in which potatoes have been boiled.
1t is much better than salt, as it does
not scratch the metal
The taste of fish may be removed
very effectively from steel knives and
forks by rubbing with fresh orange or
lemon peel.

A. Nice Tea Cake,-One-half cup of
butter or cream; one of sugar ). one
egg one.half cup of thick milk or
buttermilk; a teaspoonful Of soda ;
handful of currants. Flour to the
proper thickness.
To Wash Black Calico, etc TO
wash black calico, fawn colored laws
or fancy hose, wash in cold Waterfront
first to last, aud the cOlors will not
run or fade. Dry in the shade. This
method was adopted by the old col
ored laundresses of the South, and was
the secret Of their success.
Corn and Beaus-Salting Down.
Mrs. Annie D. asks us to republlsh the
directions given last winter foc SALT
ing down green corn and beans. Also,
she wishes receipt for coloring dark
blue.
Ans.-The method for preserving
corn and beans for winter use, was
contributed by Mrs. 4. +. f., in the
Rural of Feb 8, and is as follows:
Cut the corn from rhe cobs. without
cooking. Have an earthen pot ready;
first put in thin layer of corn, then
a layer OF salt, and SO on alternately
until the pot is full. Then cover with
a plate pressed down so that the brine
will cover it and exclude all air. Be-
fore the corn is used it will require to
be fresbened by soaking it over night
in water. A teaspoonful of sugar,
added in cooking, improves it. Beans
(string) can be kept in the same way
Though I've never heard of 1t. | see
no reason why peas, shelled, couldn't
be kept too. The corn and beans
must be packed as soon as cut, or
they will spoil
As you do not state whether the
recipe should be for dying cotton or
wooden, we will append directions for
both, furnished us by a friend who
attests their reliability.
Blue on Cotton.-Dissolve two
pounds and half of copperas in fif-
teen GALLONS of water: put in about ten
pounds Of cloth and boil two hours
Take out, rinse in clear water, refill
the kettle with clean water and add
one. halt pound of prussiate of potash.
Boil the goods iu this for thirty
minutes, lift out and slowly add one
half pound oil of vitriol, then return
the goods and boil half 40 hour
longer. Rinse In cold water and dry.
Blue for Woolen.-One gallon of
water;a wineglassful of sulphuric acid,
and tablespoOnfullor more, accord.
ing to the shade required, of imperial
blue. Stir all together, put in a cloth
and boil from twenty minutes to half
an hour. Wash in q weak solution of

The position Of the Democratic
party is an anomalous one. 1t is,
in fact, an uncomfortable one.
Samuel J. Tilden has very few
warm personal friends in the party.
He is nota man of any magnetism.
He repels rather than attracts. He
is cold-blooded, unsympathetic
trickster. He captures his victims
and when once in his power he
gloats over them. He treats those
whom he wishes to control as a
harlot does young girl whom she
decoys into her den of prostitution,
and then cody informs her that the
die is cast, that she has gone so far
as to be disgraced and that she can
not retrace her steps. A
brave girl would defy her,
but the Democratic party
has been decoyed into Tilden's
harem by one method and another,
and now he holds it by the neck
with the grasp of tyrant. Some of
the leaders are still squirming a
