to be necessary to grow potatoes either up

which is made during the previous winter,
and which has not yet become infested with

WOMEN AS POULTRY RAIsERs.

The custom practiced in France, of allow
iHg the wife so many francs month or year
as pin money " to useas she pleases, is one
that should be generally adopted, especially
in the United States. On the farm the care
of some, if not all, the poultry could be very
properly transferred to the women of the
household. The care of poultry is naturally
adapted to women, as it requires patience
and attention, and at the same time kindness
and gentleness-traits too often lacking i'm
the sterner sex. There is no event in con-
nection with poultry raising, during the
whole year, which has not its interest for
those who care for the innocent creatures of
the farm-yard, whether it be feeding CRATE
full bipeds, gathering eggs, Matching the
chickens, or reducing the tlocks in the fall to
suit winter quarters-all have their charms.
and excite the interest and sympathy OF their
faithful attendants. There is much COM
plant among psychologists that American
Ladies lose health and beauty earlier than
they ought, for want of sufficient out-of-door
air and exercise; and this occupation has,
among its other benefits, that of sending them
abroad, into the pure, outer air, and inciting
love for rural natural beauty not found
among those whom no such duty tempts
from the tireside. .-Faan.ers' Maoaxi,,e. its

poand OF coffee sugar, which is, in measure
ment, coffee cup packed hard and full, one
half pound of suet chopped very fine and
free from strings, two cups of stoned raisns,
one-half pound of currants, two ounces of
citron sliced thin, one-half cup of moissses,
one-half cup of brandy, two even teaspoon
tul of salt, two of grated nutmeg, one of
cloves, five butter crackers soaked over night
in pint of milk, and the grated rind of half
a lemon. This is only one-half the rule:
when you make it for yourself double the
quantity, as the pudding will keep long
time. The fruit should be prepared and the
suet chopped the night before. Previous to
mixing the pudding, slightly flour the fruit
as for cake. Rub the soaked crackers
through colander, add the chopped suet,
the spices and grated lemon rind; stir well
together; add the sugar, molasses and bran

mentarily, as the success Of the pudding de-
pends upon the boiling. 1t should boil at

The natural tendency of all fowls Is to pro.

our improvements in this particular are due

fowls may be comfortable, Plenty and va

The farmer who pays laborer from $40
to $50 per month, and puts him to work
with span of horses worth 500, makes a
serious mistake. Farm hands in order to
earn their money must have good teams and
good implements to work with !; even ordi-
nary hands often do very good work when
they have extra good facilities for executing
it and it pays to provide such.

AKRON, ON THE PLAINS OF Colo
RADO.-As We rolled out of Chicago
and talked of the push, vim, and enter
prise, for which the citizens are noted,
Ray related an incident that he had
read, which occurred in the United
States Senate. Stephen A. Douglass
had been sent to Washington City to
look after something which it was
thought would be for the benefit of
Chicago. He got Henry Clay interest
ed in the matter, and Clay made =
strong speech in the Senate in favor of
Douglass measure and in favor of Chi
caOO, which was then small. After
Clay had made his speech, Benton pre-
pared himself to crush things. Clay
went to Benton and begged him to not
oppose the bill. Benton pettiShly re-
pied: 81 never could refuse q beggar,
Let it pass" The bill went through,
and Chicago is what she is, anu is beg
ging no favors to-day.

scenery of Switzerland, and the men
