UDDpr Drive WAY.

Last year work pressed SO much that we
did not get the upper flor and the drive
way TO it ready for use before we put in
the hay, and toward the last of hayIng il
took three to "now away" the hay, and
hard won X it WAS for both the pitcher and
the men on the NOV. THIS year we have
used the drive way and upper floor, and ST.
have hid Il chance to compare the merits
of the respective ways ct unloading pretty
fully. Two OF us (with n boy to rake
If tr) have put in from forty to fifty tons
of hay, and we know it is not half the
work to pitch it off, and the man says it i,
not half the work to NOW it away. AT
any rate. we would not dispense with that
fl Dor and drive way for twenty per cent
interest on what they cost. We cannot
too strongly urge those who contcmpat,
building new or repairing old barns, To
investigate the matter thoroughly before
they do their work without an elevated
drive way and barn cellar.
Tie hay crop in this immediate vicinity
is perhaps ab nut an average, some report
ing a short crop and Others an excess. w,
cur several tens more than last year; and
by far the st"utrst grass came from an
old swamp which we had drained and
reclaimed. On space where we used
to get two loads Of poor stuff which
had to be moved by hand and some
brought out on fork, and the last time it
was cut before it was drained II neighb,r
got his oxen and curt into the mud, ard
broke out The cart tongue, Now the NOW
ing machine sings over the whole plat,
and we took nine large loads of Just as
good hay as grew out doors, where before
we got but the two.
Some of our neighbors have duplicated
our experience, and their best moving
lands are what were few years ago
worthless swamps. Draining such places
pays Have you any that need it?

CABINET PUDDING The celebrated
Miss Corson gave series of lectures on
cookery in which she gave the following
as her method of making cabinet pudding:
Miss Corson held in her hand small,
three. pint tin pudding mold which she
proceeded to butter plentitully. Then
with some French candied fruit she made
little patterns Of stars, sticking the fruit
urtistically into the bntter. Slices OF
sponge cake were next put about the dish,
then another layer of fruit. Then another
and another. and the middle was filled up
v it'll crumbs of cake. A Gus ard was
poured over the whole before the cooking
OF the pudding commenced. This custard
was made with six eggs, one fourth pound
of butter. and one teaspoonful of flavor
ing extract, (uuless the cook desires 20

these ingredients are well beaten together

LONDON PURPLE.-We have tried this
article this year for the p. b., and We
like it much better than Paris green. 1t
is sure death, and is much more easily
applied, as il mixes in water much more
than the green, and does not settle at the
bottom so quickly. 1t costs but fifteen
cents per pound, and but little more is
required than of pure Paris green.

After Having.

After this seasons experience we arc
more than ever in favor of putting hay in
cocks, under certain conditions. We used
to think it a waste of work, and that if
the weather was such that grass would not
make the day it was cut, it was best to
wait till day it would. Now we find
that hay will pny for cooking; it will cure
a good deal, according to the time it
stands, and the hay IS excellent, and bust
ness forwarded
We have used for the first time hay
body made on a plan which may he com.
mon enough to many, but has not been in
general use about here. 1t is ca led the

with plank for centre piece length
wise. Ours is two and onp-half inches
thick, of poplar, las are the side pieces, }
ten inches wide at the point where the
wheels turn in and tapering to four inches
wide at the ends. Cross pieces of inch
and one-eighth ash are boled to the centre
and side pieces, and bottom boards are cut
out so the wheels can turn in to the centre
plank. 1t is strong enough, and very
handy in turning many times when one
wishes to make short turn.
