Washing and Cooking Meats.

Miss Carson in New York Times. ~. ~ . ...-.
How much of our daily bread-that is,
meats wasted between the larler and the
table is one of those things that mo fellow
can find OUT" but it is possible to designate
a few of the ways of waste. At the top Of
the list stands the practice. Of washing meat,
with plenty Of clean, cold water The
washing Of meats wastes their nutriment
with every drop of animal fluid that the
water attracts to itself, unless that same wa
ter be used for soups, stews,s or sauces, for
when the meat is exposed o!the action of
water there is an instantaneous interchange
of fluids unless the water be at the boiling
point and there maintained. Il SmG h'#
Once the actual cooking Of meat is com
menced, the unavoidable waste Of it's SUBJ
stance may be estimated ct about one third
methods Of cookery may be concentrated
under three heads: I. The application of
direct heat from the fire or from hot air, as

ed. 1t was found that something from
passing freight train had struck the passen-
ger car at exactly the point where the man
was sitting who had been INDUCING in this;
speculation about that kind of an accident!
The window where he was sitting was
smashed in, hole was stove in the side of
the car, SO that outside daylight could
come in, the iron-work which supports the
seat at the side of the car was wrencked
from its place and broken, and piece Of
wood perhaps 2 feet in length, inches in
breath and half an inch thick OF more, from
the. passing train, was hurled into the car
either through the window or otherwise,
and fell at the mans feet In fact, there
was a ~ wreck right at the point
where the map was sitting, and
his coat was covered with splinters and
broken glass. But, Notwithstanding all this,
he did not experience even scratch, and SO
quickly was the whole thing done that he is
not even conscious of experiencing any
more of a shock than any other passenger in
the train, or, iii fact, of any shock whatever
beyond the noise of the crash It was really
marvellous escape, and very strange in
view OF the passing thought that had entered
the person mind a few moments pre-
viouslv.
1.-The man alluded to was the writer of
this paragraph, who was at first inclined to
laugh and joke about the affair with the 9TH
GER passengers, but who, on more deliberate
thought, was :inclined to think the circum-
stances were sufficiently remarkable to JUS
.tify this little narrative, not by way Of fos-
tering superstitious tendencies, which need
no special cultivation in the human mind,
but to furnish one more Of the striking
condolences Of thought and event that are
often so curious, and to show how wonder
full may be an escape from DEATH

W. F. Brown, in the Ohio Farmer, says
"a dairyman at Elgin, ILL.,, who was milking
sixty cows. depended on corn fodder almost
exclusively for his rough feed. He set up
horse power and cutting box, and began
chopping his fodder. Wishing to test the
matter fully, as to whether it would pay to
do this Or not, he fed alternate weeks with
the long fodder and that which was cut and
he told me that it resulted in every case in
an increase of an eight gallon can of milk
per day when the cut fodder was fed"
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
states that excellent results attended the
use of dry unleached wood ashes as a pre-
ventive of the ravages of cabbage
worms. The ashes were thrown on top of
each plant, pains being taken by the opera
tor to jar each plant by hitting it with the
foot, SO as to shake the ashes down thor
oughly between the leaves. Not only were
the worms killed but ''the cabbage instead
taking hurt from the bountiful application
started with new life and energy" Sever
al weeks latter it was found necessary to re-
peat the application. The result of the ex-
pertinent was an unusually fine crop.
Mr.. w. W. Higbee, Charlotte, Vt,
writes to The American Casltivator that

his neighborhood that animals had better
go short of food, with plenty Of pure
water, then run in grass knee deep with
half enough to drink. "In many instances
in pastures where there was lack of water,
young stock and beeves actually grew, poor,
and did not command sas much in the fall
as they would have brought in the spring. u

The Weather i'm ENGLAND.

From the London Times of Jan. 21. ,.~... -.
We have heard good deal of late about
obstruction, but after all the weather is the
great INSTRUCTOR. No such: block of human
business, no such closing mp of the ways
OF the English world has befallen us within
living memory as that which has visited the
south Of England, and, indeed, for all we
know in our sudden isolation, the whole of
the British isles in: the, last four and twenty
hours Just as we had begun to fatter our
selves that we could at least guess at what
was coming, and could forecast the weather
for at any rate few hours in advance, we
suddenly find ourselves baffled, buffeted,
and overwhelmed by such combination of
the forces of winter as has rarely been ex-
perienced in these ATTITUDES.

Thick and Thin Seeding.

A careful experimenter in Indiana writes
to the Farmer that he has taken more pains
with his wheat field than is often done. II
sowed" one acre of wheat in drills with the
grains fourteen inches apart in the row, three
pecks to the acre. Another acre sowed in
drills, seven inches apart inthe rows he first
requiring three pecks of seed, and the latter
one and quarter bushels. The ground
was old aud not MANFRED" Now here is
the result and also quite an important point.
Three pecks of seed, as will be seen, will
cover an acre with kernels fourteen inches
apart in drills-which,, we suppose, are the
same width as on an ordinary drill while at
the distance of seven inches it requires one
and quarter bushels. The first named,
on old ground, gave him twenty-six BUSH
els to the acre, while the latter brought him
twenty four bushels. Does not this prove
that thin seeding pays the best?
Deep Cultivation and Draining.
The Farmer Eng.) sums up the benefits
to be derived from ploughing deep and
draining the soil in the following brief par
agraph, which we would advise all advo-
Gates of shallow cultivation to read very
carefully, and profit by:
Draining at once sets free a greater depth
of soil for cultivation; deep digging deep
ems the filth. and a finely pulver-
lied soil is very retenlve, of. q proper
amount Of moisture. Whenever the filth is
deep, the roots will assuredly penetrate in
search of food, and in dry seasons they
naturally go deep enough to be in contact
with soil sufficiently moist. The plants
have thus stores Of moisture held for them
at depth where the sun has; little or no in
fiuence, which they can draw up in dry
season, while those on undrained shallow
soil are parched for want of rain. Every
garden should be so drained naturally, or
artifcially, that no accumulation of water
beyond the quantity best suited for the
healthy growth Of plants can ever, under
ordinary circumstances, take place. The
soil will then be ina condition most capa-
BILE of bearing good crops; the manures put
in for its. enrichment will be able to under
90 those chemical changes on which de-
pend their presentation to the roots in a
state to be absorbed; air will fill up the in
terstices of the soil, and be ready for as
similation by the roots; the underground
temperature will be considerably increased,
and vary through small range only, and
skillful cultivation should yield the most
satisfactory results.

The Lesson Of the Elections.

While the outcome of the Novem-
Der elections is not as cheering as the
friends of progress and genuine re.
form could wish, yet it is far from be-
ing a source of Encouragement This
is an "off year." 1t follows in the wake
of a very holly contested Presidential
election, and at such times party ties
hang loosely. Again, the issues were
not sharply drawn, and the contest
degenerated here and there into a
matter of mere personal preference
touching candidates. At such time
it is not often possible for majority
party to keep its lines intact, hence
it usually sustains larger relative
loss than its opponents. Under the
circumstance, therefore, the Republi-
can party has held its own better than
could have been reasonably expected.
The Smashing of the Machine, "
as the changes in practical leadership
are termed, can be effected at such a
time with less risk to the bedrock
principles of the party than at any
other period. This has been done
largely in New York, and to some ex.
tent elsewhere especially in Pennsyl-
vania, and the ELECTS to demonstrate
the impracticability, not to use the
harsher word, of much that passes for
"reform."- 1t has shown that caucuses
are necessary, that leadership canno,
be eliminated, and that, that which il
called "bossism," is to certain exten,
requisite, and that the Republican
party, il it would retain the ascend
ancy, must not only stand BY its prin
ciples, but observe a spirit of the wia
EST charity and b,oad'esf federation to
ward all who are in accord with it.
