Influence Of Railroads upon AgricuI.


Iure.
So great has been the positive advantages
which all departments of agriculture have
derived from the construction of railroads.
that, if the entire cost of their building had
been levied upon the farmers of the central
west, they would have paid it and been i'm
mensely the gamers. The railroads have
done what could not have been effected with
out them they have secured to the producer
very nearly the prices of the Atlantic mar
kets, and very largely in advance of what
could have been had on his farm by thus
enabling the producer to dispose of his prod
ucts at good prices at all times, they have
helped to increase rapidly both the settle
ment and the annual production of the inte-
rior states The older a country is, the more
civic and the less rural it becomes--that is
the greater will be the demand for food, and
the less the production. Hence it is that Eu-
rope, an old country, filled with cities, makes
a continual demand on this country for food.
Hence it is that New England and New York,
continually filling up with manufacturers, ar.
tisans and cities, must be supplied with in.
creased quantities of food from the interior
west. Hence it is that the cheapening of
transportation inures to the benefit of the az.
ricultural producer. BY thus giving the far
mer the benefit of the best markets, and the
highest prices, railroads have increased the
agricultural productions of the country be-
yond any thing heretofore known in the
world. United States Economist.
True of the west and of the country as a
whole but New England agriculture suffers
from western competition, as it would not in
equal degree without the railroads. Yet even
New England farmers would not abolish the
railroads if they could

1t will be seen that, so far az fat is concerned
beef has three times as much as bread, and
cheese 10 times as much as beef, and SO far
as muscle-forming constituents are concerned
beef is three times as valuable as bread and
cheese once and half as nutritious as beef
The great defect in cheese as food is that
there ID not any starch in it. This defect is
remedied by using it in connection with
bread, an article which abounds in starch.
Hence the custom of the English laborer, die.
tated by nature and confirmed by science of
eating bread and cheese for his luncheon

Household Hints.

A delicious salad Id made by boiling new
beets without scraping them. When they are
tender drop them in cold water, remove the
skin, slice theIn and put them in a salad dish
in layers, with slices of hard boiled eggs; sea.
sou with pepper aud salt, II little butter and
vinegar
DO not throw away the bones of turkey or
chicken. Crack them and let them boil for
two or three hours in a little water put in al.
so any nice bits of the fowl that are left, par
ticularly the neck, which il never eaten. To
this add any soup stock you have, aud, with
little barley or sage, you will have nour-
ishing soup. Season with pepper, salt and any
herbs you choose.
The reason why cabbage emits such disa-
greoable smell when boiling is because the
process dissolyes the essential oil. The wat
er should be changed when the cabbage is
half cooked, and it will thus acquire greater
sweetness.
Poison of any kind swallowed will be at
once thrown from the stomach by drinking
half glass Of warm water in which q tea.
spoonful Of ground mustard has been stirred.
As soon as vomiting ceases drink cup OF
strong coffee in which has been put the white
of an egg. This neutralizes any remains of
the poison which the mustard may have left.
LaH5 Pie-Choose nice lean breast of
lamb cut it into pieces roll each piece in
flour and place them in pie-dish with one
pound Of potatoes peeled and cut in quarters
season with pepper and salt, and pour in
water enough to fill the dish. Make crust
with three quarters of pound of -four six
ounces of dripping or lard, and q pinch of
salt mix TO paste with cold water, roll out
aud lay over the pie bake in a good oven for
two hours; cover the crust with CREASED pa
per when it is Drowned, to prevent its burn
ing.

Hill Country of Judea Items.
Reported for the v1RcrsrAN.

Reported for the NIRGINlAN
The unusual phenomenon for sometime
since manifested just before sunrise and
after sunset, had some of us Judeans rath-
er scared up. Our readers we'll know that
it is Characteristic of man, particularly
when not scientific, to be extremely inn
aginative. And all of us who have once
been children and heard horrid ghost sto-
ries, are aware that the imagination is a
terrible author of fear. Some OF our Hill
Country farmers, not very well versed IN
the philosophy of natural phenomena,
on first witnessingthe crimson sky Thought
perhaps the eternal fires were concen-
trating to wrap our world in flames from
pole to pole. At this thought. who can
conceive of the CONSERVATION of the sons
of Judea? Others of us thought it might
be an omen of war threatening Judea. but
as no deadly weapons were seen suspended
in the heavens this conjecture was soon
abandoned. The children thought that it
might be the light of Santa Claus pine
torch, but as the crimson light grew dim
mer and DINNER as the annual holiday APP
preached, they became uneasy and frettul
sest Santa would not visit them. But Prof.
Brooks has recently informed us that this
remarkable phenomenon is caused by the
reflection Of cloud of star dust through
which the world has been passing i'll its
rapid navigation ofaspace. So we are now
all satisfied and delivered from fear, and
we are all determined hereafter to reason
before we indulge our imagination. 1t
seems remarkable that the sun makes no
light in space outside of our worlds at
mosphere: however. many philosophers
pretend to explain it all. and disdain to
think that science is III it's infancy and
that what is known is but nothing in COM
parison with what is to be known. We
are inclined to think that the sun is not
10 intensely luminous and caloric as is
generally supposed, but that the heat and
light usually contributed 10 it alone is pro-
duced by q wonderful exchange of solar
and terrestrial electricity. But we Judeans
are neither philosophers nor astronomers,
though we have hills SO large that, when
Oh their climax. we can almost play With
the moons Of Jupiter.
