fertilizers has been partially exhausted,
and that orders cannot be filled for Pat
rons at fair and just prices; and, where
as, we have reason to believe that a COM

purpose. BE it, therefore,
ReSoIved, by the State Grange now in
session, That the Patrons of Husbandry
Of this State be informed of this fact in
order that they may know with whom
they are dealing, and that they may be
guarded in their purchases.
Resolved, That the Worthy and

inviting dealers and agents outside the
State to bring and sell us their fertilizers
without combinations.

known to themselves, seldom or never
hear Il sermon except at a funeral or on
some other occasion upou which they
can feel as free in attending as q member
Of the church. That christians may, in
neglecting them, he left without excuse,
is clearly set forth in the Scriptures Of
truth, chiefly il beautiful parallels, that
it is the duty of some. at least, of CHI SITS
servants, TO go, first, to the lost sheep Of
the house OF Israel, go out into the streets
and laues OF tic cities, and into thehigh-
ways and hedges Of the country, and bid
the poor and the MANNED, ;hn halt and
the blind To tho gospel feast.
Now that these efforts are to be limited
10 such as are willing 10 hear, is evident
from the injunction Of the Savior, "Give
not that which is holy unto the dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest Ley trample them under their feet
and Turn again and rcnd you" There

Gen. Gd ~ Res,ards Taxes,
and has Regards

This week we publish Gen. Gary's late
speech in Charleston. We particularly
like his remarks in regard to taxation n
South Carolina They were as follows:
1.-The State and County taxes must be
reduced to within five mills on the dollar.
No people can ever prosper who pay
more han this amount. BY 4 wise and
rapid reduction of the State taxes, we
can aid you in q reduction of city taxes.
l understand that you pay three and a
halt per cent. upon all your taXableprop-
erty, including State, county and city
taxes. The history OF the past proves
that such a tax will ruin any people. It
is ohe-half of the legal rate of interest of
the State. The natural inquiry Is, how
is this TO be done? l answer, by an eco
nomical administration of city, county,
and State affairs. You must live within
your income"
And we also commend Gen. Gary's
wisdom in making no allusion whatever
u the existing controversy between him
self and Senator Hampton. And as we
write. it occurs to us that it would be but
just and generous to Gen. Gary to say to
the many papers and the many individ-
uals that are expressing surprise at his
declining to answer Col. Haskell over
his W name, that the thoughtful and
wise among his own people ire giving
him credit for prudence and commenda-
BILE caution in not pushing matters to
extremes. Gen. Gary's personal courage
AS is that of Col. Haskell-is far above
and, beyond any Straightforward Cor.
GarE, knowing psGelins this, has octe3
wisely in the promises.

CIDER AND ITS UsEs.--The juice cf
apples is very abundant this season, and
the house wife can, with little labor, pre-
pare many luxuries that are both healthy
and palatable. Jellies made from cider
are very nice. and it is little trouble TO
make them. Take gallon of cider,
before fermentation has commenced, and
boil it down in a porcelain kettle to two
quarts; skim it frequently, and then
strain it through jelly bag. Add one
quart of granulated sugar, and boil slowly
for fifteen minutes and dip into jelly
glasses. 1t is pure fruit jelly that is
nice for either invalids or
table use. Those who do not like very
sour jelly can add more sugar.

An Owls FLEXIBLE NEcK.-A con-
tributor to the american Naturalist, who
had read a funny story about an owls
wringing his own neck by looking at a
man who was walking around him test
ed the matter by experiment. He obtain
ed a fine specimen and placed him on
top of post. at was not difficult"
says the writer, ''to secure his attention,
for he never diverted his gaze from me
while l was in his presence. / began
walking rapidly around the post a few
feet from it, keeping my eyes fixed upon
him all the while. His body remained
motionless, but his head turned exactly
with my movements. When was half
way round his head was directly behind.
Three-quarters of a circle were completed
and still the same twist of the neck and
stare followed me. One circle, and no
change. On | went, twice round, and
still that watchful stare and steady turn
of the head. On / went, three times
round, and began really to wonder why
the head did not drop off, when all at
once discovered what / failed to notice
before. When I reached half way round
from the front, which was as far as he
could turn his head to follow my move
ments with comfort, he whisked it back
through the whole circle so instantaneous.
ly and brought it facing me again with
such precision that failed to detect the
movement, although | was looking intent.
ly all the time. l repeated the expert
ment many times afterward on the same
bird, and l had always to watch careful
ly to detect the movement Of the readjust-
ment Of his gaze"

BOILED CrDER.-This is prepared by
boiling sweet cider down in the proper
ton of four gallons into one. Skim it
well during boiling, and at the last take
especial care that it does not scorch. A
brass kettle, well cleansed with salt and
vinegar, and washed with clear water, is
the best thing to boil it in. For tart
pies for summer use it is excellent; and
for mince pies it is superior to brandy or
any distilled liquor, and in fruit cake it
is preferable to brandy. 1t is very
convenient article in family.

Coon HorELs.-Hotel accommodation

COOP HoTELs.-Hotel accommodations
for travellers are Of the greatest impor-
lance to persons who have to move about
the country on business or pleasure. "Just
where to go" is what every man wants to
know when he leaves home. The Grand
Union Hotel, opposite Grand Central De
pot, New York City, IS very popular
resort, because the attendance there Is
prompt and satisfactory. The charges are
reasonable and the mendge complete; try
it. Families can live better for less money
at the Grand Union Hotel than at any other
frst-class hotel In the city. Be careful TO
see that Grand Union Hotel is on the sign
,chere you enter.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1880-03-09

CIDER VINEGAR.-This is almost .
necessity in housekeeping, and is easily
prepared. After cider is fermented, draw
it off into a keg, and take strips Of straw
paper, dipped either into West India
molasses or maple syrup, put them into
the key Of cider and set in warm place,
near a stove or chimney where it will not
freeze, and in few weeks you will have
a sharp, pure vinegar. If one needs it
to use in shorter time, they can fill a
Jug with cider, and turn into each gallon
of cider pint of molasses and a cupful
of lively yeast. Have the jug full OF
liquid, let it stand uncorked back OF the
cook stove where it will keep warm. Ii
will commence iermenting in twenty-four
hours, and will not take over a week 10
make splendid sharp vinegar. 1t must
be drawn off into another jug, leaving
the drcgs. and kept in a tight corked jug
or bottles, where it will not freeze. II
one has good cider, there need be no
trouble about vinegar, as it can be made
into sharp vinegar in short time by
using n little labor. and taking care OF t..
Straw paper saturated with molasses acts
upon cider like mother, and in few
weeks has every appearance of that arti-
Gle, only little frmer in consistency,
and rather thicker in texture.-Fdrmer $
