STUFFED CABBAGR.-Take a large,
fresh cabbage and cut out the heart /;
fill the space with stuffing made of
cooked turkey, chicken, or any meat
except mutton or lamb; chop very fine
and highly season mix with one mash
ed potato, and the yolk of one egg and
two spoonfuls of the gravy stock; roll
in balls, and the balls in flour; stuff
the cabbage and place the loose leaves
which you have removed over the hole
at top and bottom with them, and tie
the cabbage firmly together and boil in
a covered kettle for two hours. The
water should be salted. 1t makes de-
licions dish, and is useful in using up
small pieces of cold meat.

A Tennessee Farmer.

Did you ever see him? He was COM
ing out of the door of the Giles Nation
al Bank, Nashville, he had just dump
ed handful of the subsidiary into his
vest pocket; he was showing roll OF
bank notes into his pOcket-book; he
wore no coat; his jeans plntaloons
were fiecked with cotton: so was his
wool hat; he had just sold three five
hundred-pound bales, and had cashed

He had followed Johnston in the charge

Capture OF q sawfish,

When riding on the beach at Calves
ton, Tex. on the first Of April last L
noticed some Mexican fishermen draw
ing a seine to shore to which was at
tached a large sawfish. The animal
was not inclosed within the net, out
some ofthe meshes had become tangled
with the teeth oil the saw, and by this
attachment it was drawn several hum
dred feet toward the shore, the large
dorsal fin alone showing above the
water, suggesting that shark was
entangled in the net; out ifa shark IL
must have been a dead one, for not the
least effort at resistance was made, nor
even signs of life, for the object drifted
in as log till it touched the bottom;
then, indeed, it made few spasmodic
efforts showing terrific power, In which
the head and saw were thrown high
into the air and swung around In
fearful way, while the tail was lashed
about, showing that bullock could
not have withstood the blows. This
demonstration did not last five seconds,
but 1t had brought the monster con-
siderably nearer the shore and into
about one foot of water, where she lay
perfectly quiet The Mexicans then eau
tiously approached and slipped a moose
over the tail, which was very broad,
though the body just above it was but
a few inches in diameter. When an
attempt was made to pull her to shore
she made one more effort, though but
for an instant, when she quickly resi- m
ed herself to her fate. After she was
nearly clear of the water eight men
could not pull her more than one foo
at time, but she was finally landed
well up on the beach. l did not ven-
ture near enough to measure her, but
judged her body was eleven feet, and
her saw four feet long. At the shoul-
ders judged she was eighteen inches
broad; thence 1t gradually tapered to
the tail. The extraordinary feature
was the immobility of the animal under
the circumstances; she was drawn in
several hundred feet by a twine not
larger than knitting-needle, and she
suffered herself to be dragged on the
sand, tail foremost. without the least eff
fort at resistance, or the least motion TO
show that she was suffering. | would
like to know if this is usual with this
fish when captured?

BUTCHERlNG SHEKP.-Many do not
eat mutton because of the peculiar
sleepy oder and taste sometimes found
in the meat; and they usually attribute
it to contact with the wool at butcher
ing. This last is mistake-it is due to
delay IN disemboweling the carcass. IL
the intestiues are permitted to remain
until the pelt is removed the gases
emitted from them are disseminated
through the flesh, which causes the OBJ
jectionable taste or odor. Either dis
embowel the carcass at once, before the
pelt is removed, or rs soon as the throat
is cut, having the animal tied up by
the hind feet with its head hanging
downward, cut hole between the hind
quarters and fill the cavity of the body
at once with cold water; then skin and
remove the entrails at leisure. In
either case there will be left none of
that disagreeable odor or flavor usually
so peculiar TO mutton.

THERE Ia not the lie

THERE is not the least doubt that the
terrible frequency OF late years Of Par

organic diseases is mainly attributable
to the quantity and constituents of the

Calomel without any OF the injurious
tendencies sojustly dreaded by man.
kind. 1t will be found prompt to start
the secretions of the Liver, and give a
healthy tone to the entire system, with
out salvation or any danger. When
used as Catliartic it in no wise dis
orders the system, nor does 1t produce
any nausea or sick stomach when about
to purge. 1t is so mild in its action as
not 70 interfere with business or pleas
ure. Beware of limitations gotten up
on the popularity Of Simmons Liver

Mich Cows IN WINTER.-The aver
age farmer, in the care of stock through
the winter, treats them in something
like tais order: The oxen have the best
place, and the best feed, and the best
care. The horse comes next, the sheep
third, and then the cows. If they are
dry cows, straw, meadow hay, and dry
corn fodder is the food. If they give
milk, and precious little it is, they get
a foddering of hay each day. But they
and are not unfrequently driven
hundred rods in the cold wind, to drink
once day of ice water. Now, We be-
lieve this great mistake-as well as a
great cruelty. II the milk is not worth
much, rs it is not apt to be in the coun-
try at this season, remember that cows
well wintered are worth far more in
the spring, and will pay in the amount
of milk they then give, for good care
through the winter. For the sake of
the manure, to say nothing OF comfort
to the cattle, all stock should have 4
good bedding every night They
should be carded two or three times a
week; and If the farmer has cheap tod
der that must be used up, let him grind
few bushels OF corn, cob and all, and
take two quarts OF it in apail of warm
water and sprinkle it OH the feed. A
few roots added give good finish. 1t
will make it as good as the best of Eng
lish hay for the stock. We know a
farmer VINO wintered seventeen milch
cows on meadow hay of the poorest
kind, by cutting itand using daily three
quarts of cob meal. The cows gave
good quantity of milk, and came out III
the spring In extra good condition. 1t
afford to poorly winter any kind of
stock.

FARM AND GARDEN,

HORsESHoEING.-As shoer should not
only know how to make shoe and 10
fasten it upon the hoof so as TO look
nicely. but he should understand the
anatomy of a horses hoof-and how
many do-as well as how much the
shoeing must vary to suit the forma-
ton of the hoof? This is knowledge
that should be thoroughly possessed.
Some hoofs are fiat, the shell thin and
grows slowly. These should not be
pared at all except simply TO smooth the
surface to receive the shoe evenly. The
tip ends of the hoof should be clipped
of slightly so as to prevent tripping.
There should be next to no rasping of
the hoof, in some cases none at all.
Once injure hoof by pairing it away,
and it may produce lameness for
months, indeed We know of cases in
which this was not got over for five,
six and even twelve months. In such
cases, however, We think that the horse
should remain carefully shod, but the
shoes should not be removed or chan
ged in some cases for two months, and
in most cases for from six to seven
weeks. The hoofs of some horses ma
turally become very brittle and even
powd0ry. In suck cases they should
be frequently moistened with wet
cloths tied around them until brought

is excellent, and should be kept con-
stantly on hand and moistened when
used. Frequent driving in wet wealth
er on muddy roads will have the same
effect. In shoeing such horses the ut
most care must be taken, so that while
giving the nails secure hold 10 avoid
pricking, as little pairing as possible
should be done. As to the frog, the
shoer who cuts this away farther than
merely to trim off the rough edges,
should be imprisoned. We have no
mercy for the objectionable ignorance
that would destroy this main reliance
for the comfortable support of the horse.
1t acts as ''buffer" TO mitigate the SOL
id jarring of the horses hoOfs and legs,
