AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Il think there is no way of cooking
beefsteak like the following: Pound it,
if you choose, but it is not necessary.
Place it in frying pan over not too hot
q fire, and let it steam, having it COW
cred closely. Do not add any water.
After half an hour, or more, remove the
cover, salt; add good lump of butter,
and fry until done. Care must be taken
not to burn it while frying.-Cor. Rural
New Yorker.
Choice roses may be propagated
from the slip by roofing them in water
and then transferring them to small
pots, where they can remain until large
enough to take their permanent places.
The water should be put in black or
dark-green bottles, and little raw cot
ton wrapped around the slip. The water
need not be changed except OCCASION
ally. but the bottles must always be
kept filed up to the neck.
To take stains out of white cloth,
make strong solution of borax-water
One tablespoonful powdered borax to
pint of boiling water; place the cloth
on a clean board or table, and rub the
oil-stains well, using a clean brush dip
ped into the solution; if the spots are of
long standing very little soap may be
used with She borax-water, using the
brush for that purpose, then rub dry
with clean, soft cloth.
The Franklin, Mass, Farmers club
have had potato competition this year.
All the contestants planted seed of early
rose. and each chose his own mode of
cultivation. A. w. Cheever got the
largest yield, at the rate of four hundred
and Lightweight bushels per acre, by
the use of stable-manure, four hundred
pounds of sulphate of potash, and about
eight hundred pounds of guano per acre,
spread over the burrows in which the
potatoes were planted.
"A good composition for rendering
boots proof against snow and wet can
be made of one part mutton tallow and
two parts beeswax, melted together.
1t should be applied to the leather at
night, and then wipe off the boots with
bit Of colored flannel the next morn
ing. Of course it will be more difficult
to make boots thus treated take a good
polish, but after few times they will
be as susceptible of brilliant polish as
ever. Half an ounce of Burgundy
pitch, dissolved in half pint Of dry
ing oil, and mixed with half an ounce
of turpentine, will not only make
leather resist wet and damp, but will
also render it more durable, pliable and
softer. Warm the boots little over
the stove, and then apply the mixture
with soft brush or swab. Let them
dry thoroughly, then paint them over
again. Put them in warm, dry place
for twenty-four hours, and you will
have a pair of perfectly waterproof
position can be made by dissolving an
ounce of powdered rosin in quarter of
pint of inseed oil, over the stove;
put it in q tin basin, and place that in
= pan of boiling water. When it is
boiling hot, slice into it two ounces of
mutton tallow, and apply while hot to
the boots, letting it dry in thoroughly.

Winter Feeding Of Sheep.

The feeding of sheep may be made
very profitable as winter farm work.
The winter harvest consists of using up
the products of the summer harvest in
such way as to dispose of them at a
profit, and make an additional profit
on the labor spent in the disposal of it.
A farm should be q mandatory for
the working up of the raw material
grown upon it into finished product.
This gives the double profit of double
business. It utilizes profitably the lei
sure or idle time of q season in which
other work can be done, and gives an
opportunity of using extra capital to
advantage. To feed the farm prod
ucts, and make beef, butter, mutton,
wool or pork, is the most rational man
ner of disposing Of them, and of all
the different farm animals which may
be fed advantage0usly in this way,
sheep offer the best return. They can
be purchased at small expense; the
cost of lodging them is small; they are
not at all dainty or particular as to their
feed; they exact but moderate labor
and attention in care and feeding; they
can be disposed of readily, and they
leave behind Thorn the most valuable
kind of manure, returning in this shape
practically every cent Of the value of
their feed.
But, while all this is true, it is by no
means the simplest matter in the world
to realize the advantages that are pos
sible. Many farmers do it, but they
are experienced, and have been long
engaged in the practice of feeding
sheep in the winter. to turn them of
fat in the spring. But what they do
others may do, & they will learn the
secrets and requirements Of the bust
ness and exert themselves with enter
prise and perseverance. The first
requisite is to select . number Of good.
common sheep in store condition,
young and healthy. These NAV be
picked up from passing droves, from
the towns whore they are gathered

Trust q Boy.

UNDER the above title in the appeal
of December LIST is narrative of an
incident in Boston, of the Bishop of
Louisiana entrusting boy with sum of
money merely because he had an honest
countenance. Two incidents occurred
in my own experience, which are good
cOrrelations:
Somewhat more than fifty years ago,
1 was appointed midshipman in the
navy and ordered to New York. was
only fourteen years old, and, being of
delicate make and small stature, did
not look more than eleven. My previ-
GUS life had been spent in the country,
and l knew nothing of city ways or busi-
ness proceedings. Payday was the
thirtieth of the month, but 1 wanted
some money on the twentieth, and, pass
ing through Wall street, went into
brokers' Office and said, "You lend
money here, do you not?" Eyes," the
broker replied. "Well," continued I,
Il want to borrow twenty dollars for
ten days." did not then understand
the quizzical manner with which the
broker looked at me for a few seconds,
before replying, "You shall have it, and
won't charge you interest for it, either.
What's your nameP" He gave me the
money and I signed receipt; and,
need not add, the twenty dollars was
promptly returned at the expiration of
the ten days. I am sorry that have
forgotten the name of the broker. I
mentioned the incident many years aft
erwards to gentleman who said it was
the most extraordinary story he ever
heard of Wall street broker.
The other case happened in Washing
ton, about fifteen years ago. was
standing in the porch of Wizards Ho-
tel, when little boy, with a very bright,
honest face, accosted me with, "Please,
sir, lend me twenty-five cents to set me
up in business. l want to buy some
newspapers to sell again on the street."
I replied, my boy, / haven't got twen-
ty-five cents, but here are fifty cents,
and when you want to return it you will
find me here, for am stopping at the
hotel" l never expected to see him
or the money again, and considered it
donation; but, in the evening, as was
walking up and down in the entrance
hall, smoking q cigar, my coat was
pulled by little newsboy, and I turned
and beheld the youngster who had ap-
piled for loan in the morning, with
the same bright, honest face that at
tracted me then. 81 have brought you
back your fifty cents, SIR" said he,
land / am ever so much obliged to you.
I have made more than q dollar clear
profit. w B. Whiting, in Chicago Ap-
peal.

"A long time ago, in Mason County,
KY, an old topper agreed to fight Zero
cious ram, the prize being quart Of
whisky. The whole village collected to
see the fight. Both man and ram
charged at the same time, but the man
quickly righted, and planting his foot
upon the ldeless carcass of his foe, de-
manded and drank the whisky. Just
at the moment of collision the man had
dropped his head, aud the nose of the
ram coming in contact with the ele-
waited shoulders, the animals neck was
broken.

Is something all divine.

Here the tiny arms twined closely
Bout my neck; the velvet cheek
Pressed my own; the sweet lips Quivered
With the word they could not speak.
" Do think he will bring mamma?
Would to God he couldw said.
While the tears that dimned my vision
Bathed my darling's curly head.
Then told her, as she nestled,
Like dove, upon my breast,
OF the city, old and golden,
Where that mother was ut rest:
Told her of the white-robed Angels,
OF the songs they sing together
In that far-On Wonderland.
Told her. too. how she would sometime
Go to join that blessed thrOng;
How her voice would swell the anthems
Ringing in that realm of song:
How the mother, prayed for nightly,
Waited for her coming, where
She would never more part from her
When her feet had entered there.
"Ten do no,r. papa?" said she

Flung herself upon my breast
In a storm of childish sorrow
Sobbed her troubled heart to rest.
Soon the smiles that wreathed her sweet lips
Told me that my darling's eyes
Beamed upon the sleep-brought splendors
OF a dream-born Paradise.
Then knew that in her slumber
She had met that shining band
That her dream-ShOd feet had wandered
Far into that Angelland.
Long sat there in the silence,
Looking down upon the face
Whose calm features wore the glory
OF a heavenly. 6od-sent grace.

Tender lips, they moved. heard,
