HOUSE AND FARM.
Recipes and Remedies.

A RECIPE FOR CORN BREAD. One pint
corn meal. one teaspoonful of salt, one of
soda. Add two eggs, and buttermilk
enough to make the batter as thin as for
griddle cakes. Add one tablespoonful of
hot lard, and bake Immediately in hot
oven, twenty five minutes.
BEEF CHEEsE.-Take beef shin and
boil until the meat drops from the bone.
Then take out, skim the liquor, and boil
until reduced to one quart. Chop the meat
fine and mix with the liquor, seasoning
with salt and pepper, and pack into deep
dishes to cool. When cool, slice it for the
table.
FRICASsEED CHICKEN.-Stew in a half
pint OF water, season we'll with butter, pep
per and salt. When quite tender and the
water stewed down, make batter with q
pint of new milk or cream and q table,
spoonful OF flour. Stir in and let all boil
together.
Mock OYsTERs.-Six plump ears of raw
sweet-eorn; CRATE from the cob; beat one
egg, stirring in flour and milk, each one
tablespoonful; season with salt and pepper.
Put teaspoonful of butter in hot frying pan
and drop the above mixture into it, one
spoonful In place, turning so as to brown
Serve hot.
PICKELED the onioas and
let them lie in strong salt and water for
nine days, changing the water each day
then put Thorn into fresh jars and pour
fresh salt and water on them, this time
boiling hot; when it is cold take them out
and put them on hair sieve to drain, af-
ter which put them in wide mouthed bottles
and pour over them vinegar prepared in
in the following manner: Take white
wine vinegar and boil with O blade of mace
some salt and ginger in it; when cool poul
over the onions.
APPLE JELLY.-Almost any apple will
make jelly, though a hard. sour, juicy ap-
pie makes the best, both for keeping an6
flavor. Peel and core your apples, boil
them in pint of water to every foul
pounds of apples till they are perfectly soft
stirring them occasionally to prevent burn
ing; strain, without squeezing, through {
jelly bag; measure the juice, and put on,
pound loaf sugar to every pint of juice
put the juice and sugar in the preserving
kettle and boil steadily for half an hour
skimming occasionally; cool little, and i
it will not jelly boil a little longer; pour in
to glasses before it cools, and when per
fectly cold cover each glass with paper we
with alcohol; tie closely, and keep ina cool
dry place; the apples remaining after tn
juice is strained will DO for a common sol
of jam by adding sugar to them; if flavor
ing is preferred, lemon-peel, green ginger
or cinnamon can be used.

TIE OLD MAIDS SOLILOQUY.

Alas! the seasons come and go;
They bring no change for me;
Pm sitting where a year ago
sipsed my Oolong tea.
My mirror opposite proclaims
The sad unwhOlesome truth
That all the charms / boosted once
Are passing, like my youth.
Ny raven locks ere changing fast;
My face betokens bile;
My voice seems cracked, for when sin
My saucy nieces smile.
l geek in books the largest type
Not that my eyes are dim
l must have strained the optic nerve
Looking in vain for him.
All! once I thought that Sandy Bean
Would offer ME his hand;
But he was drafted to the war,
And killed at Cumberland.
Then John McMartin' walked with me
From church that rainy day,
But a "war-widow" drafted him,
And took him home-to stay.
My hopes are like the withered leaf
Borne ON the autumn blast:
My brightest morning sun, at noon
With clouds is overcast.
The streets are full of flirting girls
Such horrid, sickening sights
l can't endure; I'll take the stump,
Aud so for "women's rights"

every reason to believe that it will soon ad-
vance in price he cannot hold it for he is
out of money. He perhaps sees that bone
meal doubles the crop of wheat on his
neighbours farm and he would like to try a
ton of it, but he cannot spare the cash. A
few acres of his best land fails to produce
anything but weeds and wild grasses be-
cause of the wet and he would be glad to
drain it, but draining costs money and he
had none to spare

The Advantages Of Capital.

Every farmer should endeavor to keep o
small amount of capital, at least in such
shape that he can turn it to use when rare
bargins or an emergency requires it, and
not lock it up in speculations that require
years for realization of profits. A farmer
without ready capital is always at q disad-
vantage in his farm management, what he
buys must be done on credit. If his corn
crop is short and he desires to lay in a sup
ply Of feed in anticipation of rise, he
cannot, but is forced to sell his stock at q
sacrifice OF take the risk Of buying at high
prices in the spring. He wants to improve
his stock. and has o chance to get some
very first class animals, but he has no
money to pay for them. There are bargins
offered often in his neighborhood by men
who are selling out, or who for some Iea-
son must part with their property, but he
has not the funds and cannot get the bene-
fit of them.
He secures crop, and though he has

Cleansing MuSlin Ties.

The pretty muslin ties with silk en-
broidered ends can be washed and made to
look about as good as new again. Wash
the muslin in quite strong suds, holding
the ends out of the suds with your left
hand, then when the plain part is clean, get
some fresh water, make weak suds
and rinse the whole tie in it, squeezing it
in your hand, not wringing it, then dip the
tie in cold water in which you have put a
little bluing and bit of starch. Then lay
the tie while wet) on aperfectly slean ron
Ing board. Pin the ends out carefully just
as you wish them to look when dry, then
lay thin cloth over the plain part and iron
it dry, but do not iron the ends, as the hot
iron will flatten the silk embroidery SO it
will not look we'll. Let it remain on the
board until dry. If the ends are inclined
to draw and will not hang as you wish them
to, then tuke piece of flannel, double it
and lay the ends on that and press lightly
with an iron that is Just warm. The ties
are too pretty and cost too much to be
thrown aside when soiied, hence the exper-
iments which led to these results.

Personalities.

George Allchin, recent graduate of the
Bangor (Me.) Theological Seminary, sails
as missionary to Japan, October 1.
One of the peculiar1ties of William
Black, the English novelits, is that he often
forgets what he has written. and, indeed,
was once heard greatly to admire some re-
marks apropos of the Prussians in the
late Franco russian war, and could not
be convinced that they were quoted from
one of his own works until the book was
brought to him and triumphantly displayed
Ex-senator Gordon, who left the United
States senate in 1879. assigning as a reason
that he was poor man and that it was
necessary he should devote the remainder
OF his life to securing competence for his
family, would seem to have already succeed
ed, if $780, which he has recently made
in land investments, can be called compe-
tence.
A consert was given at Bergen, Norway
on the e19th inst. in aid of the Ole Bull
Memorial Fund. Mrs. Ole Bull and her
entire family were present. Miss Emma
Thursby, the star of the festival, had a
brilliant success and was serenaeed after
the performance. Over $4,000 have been
subscribed to the fund.
Another delicate surgical operation was
performed at the Jefferson medical college,
in Philadelphia, on Tuesday, by which Sen
ator Hill, of Georgia, was relieved of
troublesome growth of fungus on his
tongue and throat. Prof. s. d. Gross per-
formed the operation, the senator being
put under the influence of ether. A small
piece Of the tongue and the glands in the
floor of the mouth were removed, thus
giving entire relief from the trouble. After
ten days further treatment at the hospital
Senator Hill. accompanied by his family,
will start for Atlanta.
Miss Jane Lee, daughter of the arch
deacon of London, is one of the most
learned ladies in Europe. The late pro-
found scholar, Prof. Beufey, was her
teacher, and before his death he charged
her to put into English the whole of the
great Sanskrit epic of the Mahapharata,
$4,000 lines, as only fragments of it had
been translated before. Miss Lee has be-
gun her task, and she will also help Prof.
Atkinson with his Old Ilish Dictionary for
the Royal Irish academy.

ing Cornelius O'Leary, his wife and three
children, the entire family. They ate cam

en- down at once with violent symptoms of
lead poisoning andat midnight were ut the
point of death. The mackerel had been
put up in tin cans, and the physicians sup
pose acetate of lead or some other salt of
lead has been formed in consequence of
the mixture of lead with tin used in manu-
featuring the sheet tin from which the can
was mades The matter will be invssti-
gated.

He was at once impressed with the idea that
pebbles are good to assist indigestion, and

of handfuls of muddy, graveled water,
which he swallowed. He says that it was

Farming Hints.

When clover is wanted to enrich the soil
for succeeding crop it is better to let it
mature rather than to cut it early. When
clover is grown for seed the roots are the
best developed and contain the most nitro
gen. This is the reason why those farmers
who precede wheat with clover for fertili-
zer, first cut crop of clover early and then
allow the second crop to 60 to seed before
blowing it in. The roots and scatter ed
leaves of clover make most excellent ferti-
lizers.
The New York World says Never in the
history of the New York cattle market have
there been so few diseased cattle OF sheep
received as during the year past. In fact
there has not been single case or sign of
any contagious or infectious disease among
the arrivals of fat cattle, and not more than
dozen car loads of sheep have arrived
bearing marks of scab and none of these
were more than slightly affected. That the
year 1881 will show as good a health record
for the fat stock offered here as the year
1880 is quite as much as can be expected.
It seems difficult how to account for the
rage of early settlers for the destruction of
fine timber. How many thousands of acres
of hard timber have been girded and burned
from land, the subsequent crops of which
would not now pay for the timber destroyed.
So eager have many been to get rid of ma
tive forest trees that they have cut them
down and planted cedars and pines for Or
nament and shade, and it is rot uncommon
to see fiaring, white painted farm house
standing out exposed to the burning sun in
the spot from which the most lovely native
trees have been removed.
Everybody admits that farming is the
acks 4 oil
should be the most attractive, when thor
oughly understood, to the intelligent, ener-
getic youth. Before such one, already
on the farm, conclude to abandon it for an
easier" calling, he should take into con-
sideration the following truth from the pen
| of experience: There is growing tend
eney to escape from all labor that is hard
and unpleasant In the choice of an en-
ployment the youth discards without hest
| fancy all those which will tax his physical
strength or soil his hands and clothing,

path to his highest success and usefulness
Surely a successful career in any honora-
| BILE occupation must be far more satisfac-
| tory to the performer, as it certainly would
be far more beneficial to the community.
| It is said that some exhaustive expert
m ents were recently made in order to set
tie whether young animals put on flesh
more rapidly when fed with normal al
lowance of food from the first, or when fed
with specially fattening foods under cover,
and which of these methods insures the
best use of the food employed. The ex-
perimenters found that it is the most econ
omical for the production of good meat that
sheep of about year and a half year old
be fattened as rapidly as possible with the
more concentrated foods. This conclusion
is based on numerous exhaustive analysis
of the flesh of the slaughtered animals

Sheep.

American shepherds have yet much to
learn i'll regard to the management of their
fiocks. For example. the sheep in Silesia
are never exposed to much rain. Shelter
and shade are provided for them: Nor are
they exposed to dust, for that is known to
be injurious to the fleece. The greatest
possible care is taken in the breeding.
Men of experience are employed to go
from farm to farm to examine the sheep
and select the best rams that can be found.
The rams are closely examined as to their
fleece bearing properties, and all but the
very best are sold off. The whole economy
of the sheep farm is as perfect as intelli-
pence and industry can make it. A ton of
wool is worth $3.50 at 35 cents a pound or
$500 at Is cents. A ton of wheat is worth
about $32, and of corn about $16. The
freight is abont the same for each, and is
thus twenty-five times more for wheat and
nearly fifty times more for corn than wool.
This is worth considering, and shows how
much betteri it is to turn corn into wool than
to sell it.
