The Duchess Grape.

In the Country Gentleman of Oct.
/ 9th, you speak of the experiment of
sending the Duchess grape to Cali
fOrnia and back unopened. You say :
"DOubtless they were wei packed, ,
and there is "no reason why it should
not endure a fOrtnight's conveyance. !"
The grapes Were taken TO New York
in a box, and packed i'm the express
office of Wells, Fargo & Co., in the
following manner: One inch of cot
ton Overlaid with paper was put in
the box aud pressed tightly. After
the grapes were put in, we filled up
the box with cotton and old paper.
They were then started (Sept. lstl to
the Post & Tribune, Detroit, Michigan,
by the way Of Sacramento, Cal. After
their return to the express Office i'm
New York, Mr.. Kinney, the agent,
took them TO the fruit store of Mr..
Smith ON Broadway, where they were
opened and examined, and again
nailed up and forwarded to US at
Marlborough. They were then ex-
hibited here at our horticultural fair,
and we intended TO have taken them
To the New York Horticultural
SOciety's Fair, but through mistake
they were not taken. Twenty-six
days after they arrived from CalifOr-
mia (which was Sept. 10th, we started
them 10 Hapeville, Ca, where they
were exhibited Oct. 18th. We were in
formed that they arrived there in bet
ter order than was expected. The
whole time Of handling the grapes
was seven weeks. We think the
handling they received after their re-
turn was more damaging than was
their Western tour.

PremOnitiOnS of IL Cold Winter.

The recent cold waves. if taken to-
gether with the average pressure and
temperature of September and Octo-
Der, show that the autumn now clos
ing has been exceptionally cold. The
barometer in September was generally
at its normal height, but in October a
considerable excess of pressure pre-
vailed, especially on the Pacific coast
while in the present month this excess
has been increased in nearly all sec
tions, In all districts east of fhe Rocky
mountains except the Gulf States the
October mean temDeratllre was from
one to five degrees below the normal,
and the deficiency for November will
in all probability be greater. There is,
therefore, some ground for supposinG
that the distribution of pressure over
the North Pacific and the outlying re-
gions, whence our cold waves come,
IS this fall larger than usual, and con.
sequenty we might expect a more
severe winter than the average.
On the oath of September the Her
aid pointed out that the indications
favored ian autumnal Temperature
rather below than above the average.

RECIPES.

ECONOMICAL PUDDING.-An excel.
lent way Of using stale biscuits or cake
is to pound them fine in a mortar, then
mix with them two eggs with their
weight in butter, beat all to cream,
pour into mould and steam. This is
excellent cold with fruit, such as
stewed prunes or apples.
RICE BUNS. Mix two ounces of
ground rice with six ounces of flour
and one teaspoonful of baking powder,
rub in an ounce of fresh butter and
two ounces of sifted sugar. Beat up
an egg in a quarter of a pint of milk,
with little lemon or any spice flavor
ing: have ready small patty pans
well creased, half fill each with the
cake mixture, put at once into the
oven, and bake gently for quarter of
an hour.
RICE SPONGE CAKE.-Beat up three
eggs for two minutes, add the peel of a
lemon finely rasped. Boil six ounces
of loaf sugar in half.a gill of water, and
pour it boiling on to the eggs. Whisk
the mixture for twenty minutes or I'M
til it is very thick. The success of the
cake depends ON this being properly
done. Have ready mixed two ounces
of flour and three ounces of rice -four,
and stir lightly into the batter. Bake
in small tins, creased and sifted with
a mixture of sugar and rice flour.

of dry, unbleached ashes to the acre,
and sowed wheat on that, and the re-
suit was only six bushels to the acre.

pounds of bone-dust, and the three
acres produced twenty bushels to the

teen bushels oyer the tract sown with
wood-ashes. The following year |
used 200 pounds of honedust on the
plat, which | had previously sown 800
pounds of ashes, and the result was
forty bushels of wheat to the acre, be-
ing double what the bone produced
alone. This experiment satisfied me
that ashes alone nor bone alone would
not give me yield that paid to my

Jersey cow-Engll.n view of color.

If the value of Jersey stock Is 10

colored COW than that which will be
found among the generality of fine,
high-bred, whole-colored fawns, grays,
foxy, so-called Jerseys. have owned
hundreds of accllmated Jersey stock,
and have never, as a rule, found the
whole-colored such large producers rs
many parti-colored ones; in fact, by
far the most butter producing COW |
have ever possessed was not only
parti-colOred, but the most ugly and
ungainly beast of the lot, yet her
stock never failed to show their large
butter making qualities. The true
type of Jersey COW is, in fact, an
animal that will not make meat.
do not say that this is not improved
upon by acclamation and slight intro
duction of harder breed, OF which
what are termed Chichester Jerseys
are the best description. Neither do
say that Jersey breeders in the very
island itself have not in some instan-
ces breed that shows disposition to-
make flesh, and very probably may
then be following up the requirements
of fashion; yet l maintain that a pure
Jersey should throw the bulk of her
into butter. and but little
to flesh. The parti-colored good COW
may have but a white spot, especially |
under the belly, but throughout the
body the rich yellow skin, udder and
,olored hair, will be found black,
white or fawn. / have seen the COM

hat usefulness has been sacrificed for
ashton in this instance, which, if
ollowed up, as it rapidly is, I have no
loubt that the future rich Jersey will
re beef, not butter as it was.
