English Farming.

An author who was writing up English
farming for the Indiana Farmer, says
the lands of England are valued at enor-
nous prices, being held at from $500 to
$500 per acre, and seldom any is offered
for sale at these figures Lands do not
seem to BIZ held for the profit chat is in
them, since Il rental Of two per cent. is
considered very good return. but for
the distinction that aud-ownership con
lers. Tie landowner is a country gen
tleInan, ranking above tho city merchant
or manufacturer. 1t is the great ambi-
ton Of Englishmcn Of the higher classes
to found estates that shall descend 10
their posterity and bear their namcs.
\ large farmer often spends $1,000 or
more a year for manuIeS, and must dc
50 to get profitable returns. GENERALLY
there are plenty Of tenants for over,
farm chat is for rent, but the unlavorab.c
seasons for four Or five Years past, has
made it difficult to secure tenant farmers,
who haze the necessary means toIcrtilizc
and stock farms. Ihe year lo79 was the
worst year for English farmers since 1916.

Oatmeal.

Oatmeal Is food OF great strength
and nutrition, having claims to be bet
to: known and more widely used than
bra II food, 1t contains phosphorus
| enough to keep Il man doing an ordi-
nary amount OF brain work in good
hcal:h and Yigor. All medical author
tiles unite in the opinion that eatcu
with milk, IL Is perfect food, and,
having all the requisites for the proper
development of tho yatenl, it is II pre-
cminently useful food for growing
children and the young generally. Oat-
meal requires much cooking to ciliec-
tually burst its starch cells, but when
1t is we'll cooked it will thicken liquid
much more than equal its weight in
wheaton -four. The OATS of this coun-
try are superior to those grown on the
Continent and the southern parts of
England, but certainly inferior to tho
Scotch. where considerable pains is
taken to cultivate them, and it is neeu-
less to point ont That the Scotch arc an
example of n strong and thoroughly ro-
bust nation, which result is Justly set
down rs being derived from the plen-
tiiul ESe OF oatmeal. Dr.. Guthrie has
asserted that his ccuntrymnn have the
largest heads any nation in the world
hot even the English have such large
hcads--whiCh he attributes to the uui-
versal uso Of oatmeal; as universal it
ia, being found alike on the tables Of
the rich and on the tables Of the Door
in tho morning the por"idge and in
The evening the Traditional cake. The
two principal ways Of cooking oatmeui
are porrldgc and cake (bannock) which
I will describe, and also some other
modes Of cooking, in order to afford an
agreeable variety of dishes. First,
then, we will commence with receipt
for porrdge. TO three pints Of boil
ing water add level toaspoonlul Of
salt and pint Of coarse meal, stirring
while it is being slowly poured in;
continue stirring until the meal is diff
fused through the water--about eight
or ten minutes. Cover it closely then,
and place it whcro it VIII simNle- for
an hour; avoid stirring during tue
| whole OF that time. Serve hot, with as
little messing as possible, accompanied
with milk, maple syrup Or sugar and
cream. 10 make oatmeal cake, place
in bowl quart of meal, add to it as
much cold water as Will form it into
soft, light dough, cover it with cloth
fifteen minutes to allow it to swell,
then dust the pastcboard with meal.
turn out the dough and give it vigor-
GUS kneading, Cover IL with tue cloth
few minutes, and proceed at once to
roll it out to the eighth Of an inch in
thickness; cut it in five pieces and part
