some Hints for che season.

After reading the learned articles from
the pen of "Granger's Wife, Stella is quite
afraid to write a word nevertheless, must in
quire of the housekeepers who read The
PHOENIX if any one has tried the recipe for
frying green sweet corn which has lately been
printed in this paper. tried it at once, and
can recommend it as dish next to fried oys-
tiers. like, however, to thicken the egg and
grated corn with cracker crumbs instead of
flour and then fry in butter and salt pork
drippings, equal parts, or all butter, unless it
is necessary to practice economy. Lay into
the frying pan spoonfus about the size of
oysters, fry to a light brown, dish on q plat
ter, and when sent to the table all will think
they have fried oysters for breakfast.
Now is the season for pickles and canned
fruit and may venture to give first class
recipe for tomato pickle which obtained
from friend in northern Vermont Take six
quarts sliced tomatoes, four onions chopped
fine, one tablespoonful ground mustard, one
half pint whole mustard seed, one-half pint
grated horseradish, six Cor less) green pep
pers chopped fine. Let the tomatoes stand
in weak brine over night. Drain well in the
morning and cook slightly in water. Mix
pepper, mustard, radish and onion with lit
tie vinegar. Put down layer of tomato,
then layer of the mixture alternately, and
pour over all two quarts of boiling vinegar.
The skins of ripe tomatoes may be readily
removed by boiling water, but this spoils their
fine flavor and If designed to be served raw,
peel with a sharp knife and dress with sugar
and lemon juice. Cut up with ripe peaches
in equal parts or one third peaches and sweet
ened, they make a nice desert, and are better
prepared half an hour beforehand being
kept cool and covered.
Ripe tomatoes may be canned very simply
Take off the skins, boil in their own juice un-
til thoroughly cooked, and fill the cans while
boiling hot, then cover Immediately Heat
the cans by carefully pouring boiling water
over the outside at first, then the inside, un-
til the can is gradually heated sufficient to re-
ceive the hot tomatoes without breaking. In
this way no risk is taken for if the fruit spoils
no sugar is wasted 1t will not spoil, howev-
err, if the can is perfect, and this may be de-
termined by turning it upside down. If no
juice oozes out it is air tight and we may feel
sure of its keeping veil.
1t was quite noticeable at the County fair
this year that the display of canned fruit was
smaller than usual, and what could the rea-
son be' Possibly it was too much trouble to
carry it,--not a very good reason but quite a
weighty one, and very apt to prevail unless
one has sufficient public spirit to overcome it.

CURING Corn FODDER. The chief difficult
ty farmers experience in curing corn fodder,
is in keeping the stocks upright while the fod-
der is drying As the stalks wilt they be-
come timber and gradually settle, usually
most on one side, and then the stock falls
over and is exposed to all the rain that falls,
while the bottom that comes in contact with
the earth decays. Corn, TO cure well and
keep sound, must stand upright, the extreme
ends of the butts only touching the earth,
while the tops are so drawn together as to
keep out most of the rain. We do not like
TO bind corn in bundles for stocking, as it is
very apt to mould and rot under the bands
There is too little chance for air to come to
each stock and carry away its surplus mois-
ture. If no bands are used the stocks may
be made very much larger, and thus less corn
will be exposed on the surface of the stocks
to the action of the weather. pretty fair
sized one-horse load of fodder may be cured
in a single stock if it is well built. good
way is to set firmly in the ground small
stake or large sized bean pole, around which
a few armfuls of corn is set and bound Sc
curey near the top. This makes firm GEN.
tire around which to build. Then set up more
corn, placing it evenly all around, and lean
ing it no more than is necessary to have it
stand. When enough is placed to make
large stock, all that can cure, draw rope,
with a slip moose in one end, around the
stock as tight as convenient, using step lad
der to stand upon, if the corn is very tall.
An assistant can now bind with straw band
or with selected stalks, after which the rope
may be removed. If doing the work alone,
the rope can be tied while the band is being
put on. Corn fodder well put up in this way,
may be kept if desired in the field till winter.
IN. &. Farmer.
By this method the corn is gathered into
small stacks with centre pole like stack of
hay. 1t is well known, that hay requires
more drying to keep well in small stack
than for storing in the barn. Will corn fod-
der keep better than hay in small stacks
We should prefer three poles set like tripod
so as to admit air TO the centre.

But woman's work Is never done"
30 wife, I am 30 weary,
SO heavy is my head,
Ill now direct my footstops
Toward yonder snowy bed,
There, nesting in its softness,
Such sweet repose I'll hnd,
The morn shall find me rested
In body and in mind.
"But ere you come, remember
And FIX the hampers right;
We must keep up the fires
on such a frosty night.
And there's that cellar door, too
quite forgot the lock
guess that's all-but no,
You'll have to wind the clock.
"And, wife, these overalls
To-day I've badly torn;
shall be sure to went them
The FIRST thing in the morn.
Well, there, I'm really going.
Hand me the bedroom light;
But bark the baby's waking,
So will say goodnight"
The patient wife takes up
Her duties one by one,
Though oft sigh escapes her
Before the last is done.
But when with care and patience
She's fulfilled each request,
The weary mother gladly
Sinks into well-oarned rest.

CONDITION OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD.
SEPTEMBER "a, 1881.

The las! San Francisco papers received bring
news of the President TO the lst inst at which
timo he appeared to be rapidly improving
though not out of danger. His stomach had
recovered sufficient tone to retain nutrment
and he was able to take more substantial food
than at any time during period of some weeks
The pulse was gradually decreasing to its
normal condition and the afternoon fcvers
daily growing lighter, and on one or two days
he missed the fever entirely. The glandular
swelling was subsding aud the wound was
looking healthy and healing as rapidly as
could be expected. He was also gaining
strength, and when the attending physicians
changed his position to dress the wound he
was able to assist. lie is to be conveyed from
Washington 10 n more healthy locality as soon
as practicable and will be taken to his home
at Mentor, Ohio, as soon as he recovors suni-
ciently to bear the journey. All prospects
were reported flatiering and we look for more
encouraging news by the next mail

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

We concur with the sentiment evinced by
our contemporaries in regard to the dangers
attending the unrestricted immigration Of Chi
nese. Not long since such an anticipation
would have been laughed at by anyone con-
nected with sugar enterprises upon these ISL
onds; but to day We may say there are few,
even among sugar planters themselves, who do
not feel uneasy at tho prospects before us Of
being thoroughly overwhelmed by this exclu-
sve Asiatic element. Even if the cultivation
Of sugar were a consideration to which all
others should be made secondary, and we hold
it is not, the indscriminatc and wholesale in
trodnetion OF Chinese would, in the stage at
which We have now arrived. fail to exert any
benhcial influence by the increase aud cheap
ening Of labor, which is not directly counter
balanced by opposing considerations.
To speak Of Chinese immigrants in any
other sense than as laborcrs imported to sup
ply an immediate want OF plantations, is to
mock the most ordinary common sense and to
speak Of them as excriing any but most
baneiul influence in retarding that of which
We all profess to feel the necessity the re-
cnperation Of the Hawaiian race-is to speak
incorrectly If not falsely. Even as planta-
ton hand the Chinaman has vastly deteriora-
ted from what he formerly was. aud il 10 not
very difficult to trace the reascns why such
should be the case /, is their faculty Of com
bining, which is so distinctive quality in
Chinese character, and which causes them to
gather force as their numbers augment. that
has made the difference between the Chinese
servant Of to-day, aud the Chinese servant Of
few years back. II is this quality also
added to natural agressiveness Of disposi-
iion that has helped the Chinese to carry on
successful composition with mechanics and
small traders Of other natoualities, which has

helped the native poi dealer and fruit peddler
from their wnnted occupations, and which has
already begun to assert itself in larger and
yet more dangerous way, in competition with
the planters themselves. Even now, the num-
her OF Chinrsc in our midst is sufficiently large
to set at naught the forces Of the Government
in case OF disturbance, and that disturbance
is possible at any time no one can deny. But
no preparation for such a contingency is be-
ing made, while their numbers are being stead
lily increased each year by fresh arrivals.
We talk of autonomy and independence and
the best way of securing them, while by the
continued importation of Chinese, we are every
day further cndangering tho supremacy of Gov
crnment And we are convinced that the day
is not remote, when trial of strength will
occur Should such be the case, and the Gov
ernment prove itself unable to cope with the
situation, how long would our autonomy or in
dependence survive thereafter? Will other
Governments stipulate and treat with us, if by
reason Of inherent weakness or other cause,
we are unable to protect their subjects? For
eign subjects are here, and it is very natural TO
suppose that in the event of our inability 10
protect them, their own Governments will do
so-not under Hawaiian flag however! Per-
hnps it would be well for our authorities to
cogitate little upon this matter, for they can
i'll afford to treat it with contempt. A proper
consideration Of this subject might suggest
the introduction Of Legislative measures which
are necessary, and which might prove the
means Of avfrt,ig the very downfall Of Ha-
waiian indcpendcnce
