BARNUM ON PIGS FEEr-" Broiled
pigs feet IL la P. I B,rnum is one OF the
dishes printed on the Surtevant House
hill of fare. in New York. Pigs feet,
properly cooked, were given to me to eat
long before was permitted to partake OF
any other animal food" said MI. Barnum
yesterday. "When old and young feet
are bolled two and one half hours, As
usutl, the old ones are tough and worth
less. If they were boiled three and one
nllf hours the young feet would burst and
he gelaine swim away. Now, the secret
Is to wrap each pigs foot in cotton
brudage wound two or three times around
1t, and well corded with Irvine. Then boil
them four hours. Let them remain in the
bandages till needed to fry, broil or pickle
The skin will hold it together while being
cooked, and when you eat it you will find
them all tender and delicate AS possible"
HouSekeepers will be glad to get hold of
mis- new way of cooking pigs feet. We
say new, because it will be new to the
general public. 1t has been known for
long time, and there is hotel in this state
where pigs feet are a special feature of
The bill # fare, and the reputation of the
dish are extended far and wide. They are
cooked there in the way described by Mr..
Barnum. --BridgcpOrt Standard.

How To MAKE YoUsELF UNHAPPY. In
the first pla e, if you want to make your
self miserable. be selfish. Think all the
time of yourself and your things. Don't
care about anything else. Have no feel
ings for any but yourself. Never think of
enjoying the satisfaction of seeing others
happy; but rather, if you see smiling
face, be Jealous lest another should enjoy
what you have not. Envy every one who
is better off chan yourself; think unkndly
towards them, and speak lightly of them.
Be constantly afraid lest some one should
encroach on your rights; be watchful
against it, and if any one comes near
yonr things snap at them like mad dog
Contend earnestly for everything that is
your own, though it may not be worth a
pin. Never Weld y point. Be very SEN
siIve, and Ike everything that is said to
you in pltytulness in the most serious
manner. Be jealous of your friends lest
they should not think enough of you; and
if at any time they should seem TO neglec
you, put the worst construction upon their
conduct.-LtCing Church.

BEE Keeping AS WoMAN's WORK. -
Mrs. l. Harrison in the Prairie Farmer
says: Scientific bee culture is an open
field to all women of energy and brains !;
here is free range of discovery, improve
ment and production. If Ne compete
with the other sex in making pants or
teaching we will be obliged to accept less
pay than they do; but who ever heard of
honey bringing less because it was pro-
duced by Il woman?
There is nothing connected with bee
keeping that woman cannot do as well
us man. She should not be- expected TO
manufacture her own hives any more
than a housekeeper is to build her own
house. But as hives. frames and surplus
boxes can be purchased in the fat, know
of no reason why she should not learn 10
nail them together.
4" No one should engage in the business
expecting to find a bonanza, but any wom-
an may reasonably expect fair returns
for the money and time expanded. One
or two colonies are sufficient to commence
with, and if your knowledge increase in a
ratiO with your bees, all will be smooth
sailing and prosperous voyage"

REMEDY FOR CABBAGE WORMs.-Of all
the many remedies thnth I'VE been tried
for the imported cabbage worm since it
first began to spread over the country. and
to play havoc with our cabbage fields. few,
if any, have given entire satisfaction. 1t
is safe to say that the most satisfac-
tory remedy so far discovered is in the use
of Pyrethrum. We were the first to APP
ply this in 1869, but did not care to recon-.
mend it until further experiments had
been made. These we have made the
present year, and caused TO be nude by "A
number of our agents and correspondents.
rhe general experience is most favorable,
and we unhesitatingly recommend it for all
the different worms affecting the leaves of
our cabbage plant. AmertcaH Eht0mOtO-

The use of benzine is recommended fo-
the removal of moths and ants from furni-
ture ana wooden garments. A small
watering. pot, with u fine nozzle sprinkler,
IS filled with the benzine, which can be
bought for forty-fi cents per gallon, and
the upholstery, carpets or garments to be
cleansed are thoroughly spcinkled with
the liquid. Furs. fiannels, etc.. may be
subjected to the same process. In few
hours the benzine will dry out and in II
day or TWO the oder will have entirely
disappeared, and much sooner if the
articles are placed in the open air. Con-
siderable caution is necessary in the use
of benzine, as it is highly inhammable.
Have no fire, burning light or matches in
the room.

MANURE FOR PEAR TREEs.-P. Barry
stated in his address at the genealogical
meeting at Rochester, that he had in the
corner of his grounds little group of a
half dozen pear trees standing in grass
they had been neglected until they were
nearly starved to death. The annual
growth was nothing. the leaves small and
no fruit. In this condition they were
treated with a top-dressing of barn-yard
manure. and the following season they
made stout shoots twelve to eighteen
inches long, with large, dark green foil
age, and some fine fruit. He added that
trees standing in grass would not pay.
They must be kept vigorous and healthy
by tlllage, fertilizers and judicious prun
ing. These involve labor and expense,
but he remarked he cannot grow fruit
without them. In his pear garden he
slackened both cultivation and manure to
lessen the chances of blight, but the result
was that in two years and a-haf his crop
was culls.

There are for many reasons, few dis
cases more to be dreaded than ErYsipelas.
and It has. not inaptly, been termed ST.
Anthony's Fire." There is no disease
which so completely deforms and dislig-
ures the visage of the patient; aud it may
fairly be compared to red mask thrown
by mockng demon over the human face.
1t is almost as dangerous as it is repulsive.
Arising from variety of causes, running
its course with paint often ends suddenly
in death. The old treatment consisted of
blood letting aud the use of strong dra-tric
purgatives. The substance of the enlight-
ened modern treatment is all contained in

Through the courtesy of Senator Morrill,

HANDLE DAIRY Stock KINDLY.-Mr.
PARCEL, in the report of the n W jersey
agricultural society, says: 1t is important
that dairy stock, from the young calf to
the old COW, that is being fed for beef
should be handled and treated kindly. If
a calf is handled roughly and becomes
wild and vicious thereby, when it becomes
a COW you may expect the same, but if
handled carefully and treated with kind
ness, when grown up she will be mild and
gentle. 1t may not always be so, but in
general it is. There have always been
many cows spoiled by the person having
the care of milking them, 10y whipping or
frightening them whenever they come in
his way, or if, when milking. COW hoists
her foot or kicks (Which is generally caused
by pain) such fellow stops milking and
commences whipping, or worse. kicking
the COW, and she becoming enraged, holds
up her milk, kicks back, and is finally
ruined. Never whip COW for kicking, ii
she does kick the milk pail out of your
hand and sometimes upset and knock you
over, but be kind and gentle with her, and
milk her out with us little excitement us
possible, and if she gets over her kicking
propensity it will b. by mild and not by
harsh treatment. Never whip Il COW be-
cause she kicks, for it will do no good, but
will do great deal Of harm.

GOOD Cow.-Mr. Albert Snow of North
Pomfret has COW which he justly con-
oiders pretty good one. She is four
years old, and in thirty days from March
22d, has made sixty three pounds and ten
ounces of butter, and the family have used
what milk they wanted-not large
probably, beside. Her food has
been what good hay she wanted, and two
quarts each of corn meal and bran per
day. Who does betterp

EXPELLING BoTs.-If remember right,

strong decoction of sage, well sweetened,

sage tea acted as a cathartic, and that Il e
bots were fond of sweet, and would let 60

ashes help them along. write from ex-

The Essex agricultural society awarded
Charles w. Adams of Newbury premi-
um for his crop of corn raised in 1880 on
one acre of land as follows: The soil is
rather a heavy loan. The blowing was
seven inches deep and cost 81. The land
had not been plowed before for fifteen
years. 1t was very thoroughly narrowed
with two harrows at once; large iron
Doth harrow was hitched toa disc harrow,
and in this manner the ground was har-
rowed for most of a day. Cost of harrow
ing, 81; cultivated and hoed once only at
4 cost of 81. The ground was quite free
from weeds The manure was placed in
the hills, using two and IA half cords. 1t
consisted Of cow manure and thatch, well
roted down Cost of manure. Sl5 on the
ground; cost of seed and planting, S.
harvesting, $40; a total cost for the acre
Of $40. The amount of crop was estlmat-
Ell from average selections, viz: one out
side row, row in the middle and a row
from each end Having shelled and
weighed these selections and allowed sew
enty pounds of shelled corn to the bushel,
the crop was found to be ninety-five bush
els to the acre, which at seventy-iive cents
per bushel was $7l.25. The stalks and
butts were not weighed, but estimated to
be worth $50, giving a gross yield for the
acre of $l0l.25, less the cost of SAP, giving
II net profit Of $50 %.

Dear friend tits pleasure to read
Your true poetic matters:
For nit Pm sure they take the lead.
While sense it badly scatters
Now first your mind to realms divine
Your muse tries to bestow it;
Then it sin ks to a sulphur mine"
And sadly smears the poet.
These broad fields-to you, my friend
With wit, are very charming,
But men with sense will not intend
To enter them on farming.
You seek the means, for maids with beau !,
To help them out of trouble,
But by your meddling, Heaven knows.
1t only makes it double.
My dear old friend, can you atone?
CFhe thought makes me to shudder.,
To see yon sailing all alone,
without sense at the ruddor
Long years ago with us you dNelt.
Before you turned a Yorker,
Then we your greatest wisdom felt.
But change has made q mocker.
With frauds you truly have no deal
For them You have a terror;
I'm glad you indiyn ition feel
Though you embrace some error
Return 70 your old friends so true,
We need your wit to jog us;
We will all Join to welcome you,
For you will help unolog us.
Sons of Vermont, where'er they are,
Great honor for her cherish;
And guided by their natal star,
Their friendship ne'er will perish
In dairyIng we hold the lead,
As years ago, 1t is now;
Though we have made advance indeed.
