toes cut in thin slices. Then put in a
layer of meat, then Of potatoes, and so
on until your pan is twO-thirds full.

keep the cup in Its place, putting meat
around it. Roll out the remainder of
the dough, cutting gashes for the es-
cape of steam; wet the edges OF the
crust so that they Will adhere; put pie
in oven. You must not have the oven

WEDDING CAKE.-Prepare your ingre-
dients the day before making your cake.
Pick and stone four pounds of the best
raisins; do not use the seedless raisins
for this cake; wash and pick over four
pounds of currants; drain them In q
colander, and spread them on dishes to
dry, or you may sprinkle them with
Indian meal; rubbing the meal well
through the currants, and sitting them
in a sieve to clear them Of it; cut up
two pounds of citrOn in thin pieces, and
when just ready to use the fruit stew it
thickly with flour; CRATE four nutmegs,
and mix them with q tablespoonful of
ground mace. two tablespoonsful of
ground cinnamon, and small half tea
spoonful OF ground cloves; sift these
spices and mix we'll together in a cup !;
mix together two large wine-glasses of
wine, one of brandy, and one Of rose
water; cream together one pound
of powdered sngar and Is ounces of
best butter; beat II eggs until per-
fectly smooth and thick, and stir them
gradually into the creamed butter and
sugar, together with a pound OF flour
which you have sifted in basin then
add by degrees the fruit, spice and
liquor, and stir the whole very hard at
the last; line your pans with we'll
creased paper, and bake it in moder-
ate oven for six hours at least; ice it
the next morning, first dredging flour
over the outside, and then wiping with
a towel; almond iceing is very nice for
this cake.

But it did make difference 1t made

The employer found no further fault !;

oehcr man in his place. He happened to
be man who thought it did make differ.
cncc how everything was done; he always
did his best, and he kept his situation until
the end Of the season.
So it happens. Frequently some little
thing which was not expected to attract
attention, is noticed by some one to whom
the excellence Of the work has commended
itself. and the man who has made pains.
taking the rule of all his labor is surprised
by a sudden and unlocked for accession to
good fortune. RE has been brought into
note by some unconsidcrcd triilc, which
was done merely because it was his habit to

On the other hand, many man who is

as that which doomed the young carpenter
to a summer Of idcncss.

ARSON AND OUTLAwRY IN OHIO.-Co-
lumbus, March S.--A week ago tonight, a
concerted attempt was made to burn this
city, no less than seven fires being kindled
at different points, and every night since
other attemps have been made. At an car
ly hour this morning four buildings were
fired and entirely consumed, and attempts
were made to fire several others in differ
cnt parts of the city. The losses so far will
amount to S120,O00. All day the city has
been in high state of excitement The
Council met in special session to-day and
offered rewards for the apprehension of the
inccndiarics, and ordered the closing of all
saloons and places Of public resort after 10
o'clock =. Nj. All persons found on the
streets after that hour are to be arrested
unless they are well known or can give a
satisfactory account Of themselves. Special
policemen are on duty on every block, and
all the military companies are under arms
patroling the streets. The police commits.
sion and a number of prominent citizens
were in conference tonight. AS a result
large number of citizens were sworn in as
detectives and assigned to duty.
Hitherto only warehouses and barns have
been fired, but this morning attempts were
made to burn private residences There
arc large number of tramps in and around
the city, and they are undoubtedly respon-
siblc for the burning. The citizens are
greatly excited and nearly everybody goes
armed There are fears Of an alarm of fire
tonight, and if one is given terrible riot will
no doubt cnsuc, as the citizens would pro.
cccd to lynch the tramps and all suspicious
persons. No arrests have yet been made,
and the police are apparently too inefficient
tc make any.
An attempt was mrde to bacak open the
State arsenal this morning, either to bnrn it
or procure the arms and muniton there
The insurance agents have had more appli-
cations for policies to-day than they were
able to fill. AT this hour, II u. Nj. every.
thing is quiet, but people have not gone to
bed.
At 11.30 chambermaid at the Neil
House raised a cry Of fire, and an alarm
was given from the telegraph box in the
State House. The square was almost i'm
mcdiately packed with excited people, The
announcement was Immediately made that
the alarm was false, and the fears of the
people were somewhat calmed. At mid
night the streets are filled with people.

SETTING HENs.-This month all the
hens should be set that become broody as
rule, there are no chicks so hardy as March
chicks; then the pulcts that are Matched
this month are the ones to save for winter
layers.
SET HENS at night in room by them
selves. Before setting, examine to see if
they hayc any lice on them or not if they
have, give them good sprinkling of insect
powder or -four Of sulphur; be sure that it
goes through 10 the skin, and give an extra
dose under the wings and at the root of tho
tail. Then put the hen on her nest with
piece of old carpet or bag over her, which
in the morning, remove. See that she has
fresh water, dust bath, fresh food and
lime where she can get at it whenever she
feels so uclined.-Panter and Farmer.

PERSONAL ATTENTION TO BUSINESS
Nothing but ultimate ruin starcs that far
mcr i'll the face who does not pay personal
attention to the minute details Of his farm.
There arc 4 thousand small leaks about the
management of an ordinary farm, that, if
not closely attended to, will surely bring the
most hard-working farmer to ruin aud
bankruptcy. A large portion of the farm
ers can attribute their present condition to
no other cause than a lack of close atten-
ton to the small details of the farm. Close
supervision Of the machinery, tools, stock
and their feed, place for everything and
everything i'll its place. No hired help is
as much interested in attending to these
duties as the farmer himsclf-such a course
would in Il few months or years at most,
enable many farmers who are now on a
down hill grade to again begin to ascend,
and if pcrservcd in will surely make head
way against what would otherwise look
doubuul.-Muinc Fnyn,cr.

PREPARING Corn LAND.--Whcre bot
tom lands exist. they belong as matter of
course to the coru crop. But in compara-
lively few instances has their full capacity
been realized. This is never done until
the water level-that is. the point at which
water may generally be found by sinking a
hole in the grounds some three feet be-.
low the surface. This can ONLY be accom>
plishcd by deepening the main branch or
water channel until tits as many feet below
the level Of the lower portions of the
land. Oft,timcs such deepening of the
main channel will effcctualy drain a piece
Of bottom, without any additional ditching.
In other cases where bold springs arise re-
mote from the majn ditch ,SssSSopsneci,Aly If
close pipe clay fntervefics, Sue or drain
bitches must be cut To avoid loss of land
these should always be blind or covered
If not hitherto attended to, such ditching
should be done at once, that surplus water
may have ample time to run out before
planting time. Another important point is
to protect bottom lands from being flooded
with water from the hill sides IF not thus
protected they receive double portion of
the rainfall and with less facilities usually
for surface drainage, necessarily require a
longer time to dry off. With proper drain.
ing and protection against surface water from
adjacent hills, bottom lands would dry oft
and become ready for the plough, almost as
soon as upland. Such result would great
ly facilitate farm work and by permitting
an earlier planting of corn materially in
crease the crop.
I',1. l., ,,l l. L L
the water furrow afterwards opened with 4
wide, rather short shovel, and corn and
manure put in water furrow. A very high
bed and deep sinking of the waite riurrow
into the subsoil. are not desirable, hence
bcddihg with scooter is suggested. The
water furrow in which the corn is planted
ought to be Sufficiently wide TO admit of the
seed being covcrd by two furrows of small
plough, making n narrow ridge and keeping
water from settling over the grain. In all
early paintings cover the seed very ligtly
and throw dirt TO the young plants very
slow y in the early stages of cultivation
Expcriencc has shown that light nippings
by frost no not iniurc corn-plant there
fore just rs soon as the danger of freezes is
over. When the portion of Il plant above
ground is retarded in growtlrsby cold--it
seems to develope better root system
hence our best crops of wheat in cold win
tcrs--hcnce the superiority Of early
sown to late sown oats. 1t is said that oats
require two months at least of cool or cold
weather to make good crop. They mature
the stalk and grain in very hot weather, but
they form the roots mainly in cool weather
AS two chances Of striking good seasons
are better than one, we always advise that
a portion Of the corn crop be planted with
some early variety. The ''early golden
dent" from Pennsylvania, has proved very
good variety for this purpose, in this region
Of country.-SouMcrn CuhiUator.
