Of his cause and his children, and a resolu-

A Agricultural Creed.

According to the Canada Farmer the
aericulturists of Canada met In conveil-
ton and adopted for themselves the fol-
lowing creed: 1--WE believe in small
farms and thorough cultivation; we be-
lieve that the soil lives to eat, as we'll as
the owner, and ought, therefore, to be
we'll MANFRED; we believe in going to
the bottom of things, and, therefore,
deep blowing, and enough of tall the
better if it be q subsoil pillow; We believe
in large crops which leave the land bet
ter than they found it., making both the
farm and farmer richer at once; We be.
lieve that every. farm should own good
farmer; we believe that the fertilizer of
any soil is q spirit, of industry, enter
prise and lntelligence-withOut these,
lime, gypsum and guano would be OF
little use; we believe in good fences,
good farm houses, good orchards, and
good children enough to gather the
fruit; we believe in q clean kitchen, q
neat wife in it, q clean conscience; We
believe to ask q mans advice is not
STOPPING, but Of much benefit; we be.
lieve taat to keep a'place for everything
and everything in its place saves many q
step, and Is pretty sure to lead to good
tools and to keeping them iuaorder; we
believe that kindness to stock, like good
shelter, Is saying Of fodder; I'VE believe
that it is q good thing to keep an eye on
experiments, and note all, good and bad !;
we believe that it is q good rule to sell
grain when it is ready; we believ In pro-
ducing the best butter and cheese, and
marketing it when. it Is ready. =

COOKING Reo,pees.

Cut thin slices of bread, buttered on

with grated cheese, in which has been
worked q little melted butter, a very
little made mustard, cayenne pepper
and salt to liking Put two together,
buttered sides inward, for each sand
wich, if the slices are small; if large, cut
in half and fold over upon the mixture.
They are very nice. -:
LIVER SAucE.-Take the liver of any
kind Of poultry, scale them, and mince
them fine. Melt a piece of butter in q
saucepan, add little -four to it and q
small quantity ::of minced shailots. Let
the whole fry for a minute or two. then
add gravy stock in sufficient quantity to
make sauce, a small pinch Of powdered

Age of Laying Hens.

I notice in your paper various opin-
ions as to how long it will pay to keep
fowls, or what age they will cease to be
profitable for egg production, In most
cases the writer's say from one to two
years, and no longer than thr O.. Now,
from my experience, i beg to differ with
these writer's as regards pure: bred
Brown Leghorns, as have some of that
breed FIVE, six and seven years old,
and trey all have laid continually from
pullets to the present time. I do not
see but the oldest-seven years old
does just as we'll as the two.year.old hen.
Since last December, 1854, these old
hens have laid every day till now, even
somewhat while moulting. I do not
know from experience what other than
Brown Leghorns will do, if kept at such
ages. think, however, that any pure
bred fowl will pay to keep till six years
old, provided they the care and atten-
ton they should have to make them
profitable, and are in vi9orous and
healthy condition.-T. s. Edwards, In

The Real Vienna Bread,

From Notes and Queries. .>
Vienna bread is celebrated. It may
interest you to know something about
it. The excellence CT the bread is at
tributed to three reasons-the oven, the
men and the yeast. Another may be
added, and that is the dry climate. An
ounce of yeast three decagrammes) and
as much salt is taken for every gallon
zone litre) of milk used for the dough.
The yeast is a Viennese speciality,
known as the ''St. Mariner Pressheffe,"
and its congestion is a secret. It keeps
two days in summer and little longer
in winter.
The ovens are heated by wood fires lit
inside them during four hours; the ash
es are then raked out and the oven is
carefully wiped with wisps of damp
straw. On the vapor thus generated as
we'll as that produced by the baking Of
the dough. lies the whole art Of the
browning and the success Of the t'sem'
mel"
