Fresh Tomatoes aU Winter.-Wipe nice tomatoes dry, and pack small stone jar two-thirds full; i'll up with good lard and cover; for use, wash them in hot water.
 HicEorynut CGke.-One-half cup of butter, two cups of sugar, and four eggs, beaten separately; three cups of flour, one-half cup of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two cups of hickorynut meats minced, one teaspoonful extract of vanilla.
 Apple PfeserUes. Make nice syrup of sugar and water, and put in 1t a small piece of ginger-root. Have some good apples peeled and cored- Pippins are the best to use. When the syrup has scalded up three or four times, drop in the apples and let them remain until transparent.
 Cream CheeSe.-Take very thick cream and tie it up in piece of thick calico which has just been wrung out of strong cold salt and water, and hang it up to drip; two or three days will make it stiff enough to turn out. A little salt put into the cream when fresh will help it to keep sweet

FOR THE FARM AND MOMB,
An Ingenious Hen-Heuss.

One hen-house which we have seen has very ingenious contrivance for getting outside hens into a general yard. without chance for any of the inside occupants to escape. It consists of box, some eight or ten inches in diameter, a little over two feet in length, mainly made of little slats and open only at the outer end. The small slats are placed far enough apart to give an open appearance to the whole box. A very slight board constitutes the floor, so constructed that on the hen walking over it, it remains firm until she gets over half way in, when, by the force of her weight, the floor suddenly turns on a pivot, or tips, the forward end falling down about foot, letting the hen into the yard, when the floor at once returns to it's place, and thus leaves no chance of escape.-Tri6une and FuTmer.

Sowing Rye in the Fall for soIlinE.


 An Indiana farmer says. Having had fourteen years experience in sowing rye the last of August and through September at different times, on rich land for soiling in April, l think am able to state correctly the value of such a crop. Rye, when sown the last of August or any time in Sep tember on rich land, will make more pounds of green food per acre in April than any of the grasses or clover will make in June. We can easily see the value of an acre of rye sown in Au- gust or September to be cut green in April and fed to stock. It is the least injurious green food when fed to work stock known. In fact, not one objec- tion can be made to it when fed to work stock with plenty of grain. A rye patch near the house is more val uable for poultry than grain. We carried 150 hens through last winter on green rye alone and they came through the winter all right and in fine condition. As a feed for milch cows it has no equal. Three full feeds daily of green rye to your milk cows in April will change the butter from white to beautiful golden color.

MT. c. E. Bryan, No. 151 Putn am street, Cleveland, Ohio, has naturally much experience in sickness, with a family of seven children, and his doc tors and druggists bills are heavy. He states publicly that he has given Red Star Cough Cure thorough trial in his home, and finds it to be the best remedy that he has ever used for coughs or colds. It contains neither morphia nor opium, and therefore leaves no depressing effects.

100 Doses one Dollar
Did not Miss Him.

A gentleman in Cincinnati used to make refrigerators. He made some money, and removed to New York, and was gone twenty years. Then he came back; and it occurred to him that it would be good fun to go down to the corner of Fourth and Vine streets, where he used to do business and knew every body, and stand on the corner to meet his old friends as they went by. To the first one he met he gave cordial greet ing, but the man simply said: "John how are youl 1 am extremely glad to see you. My refrigerator is broken, and want you to come to the house and fix it.n The man didn't know he had been out of the city at all.

ON THE LRE.-The boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire has been in dispute 160 years. No strictly legal line exists. In TAI the King of England directed representatives of both provinces to jointly make map, in ac- cord with some general directions, but Massachusetts did not obey, and New Hampshire did the work alone. A strip of Merrimac valley is the doubtful ground.

The rowth of Weeds.

Persons frequently express surprise at the universality, as it were, of weeds. A careful cultivator will keep field free from weeds by frequent cultivation and hand hoeing through an entire season, and as none are al- lowed to go to seed he may look for clean field the following year, whether cultivated or not. But those who ex- pect to see land entirely cleaned of weeds and all its wild seeds by individ- ual effort, are likely to be disappointed in their expectations. Many seeds will live in the soil for long time,

The New Claimant.

The new Tichborne claimant, who dives in California and served in the Federal army during the late war, is now in Washington, where he has filed an application for pension on account of wounds received while a soldier. If he should be successful in this attempt,
 and thereby obtain some g, 800 of ar rears, he hopes with this money to be able to establish the fact that he is Roger Tichborne. The story which the claimant tells, according to the Boston Herald, is to the effect that on his way to Australia after he left home, he was shipwrecked on an island, from which a passing ship took him and his compan- ions to San Francisco. Thence he drift ed to New York, but did not attempt to go to England, being half-unwilling, half ashamed, to go home. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted, under an assumed name, in the navy. As man of intelligence and unusual refinement he was well regarded by all the officers except, for some reason, the captain of the ship. The latter treated him SO badly that he deserted. He then married, in New York city, re- spectable but uneducated girl of the lower class. Feeling still more es- tranged from his home he again enlisted, this time in the army, and under an. other assumed name, which he still bears. He was twice wounded. All
 the fingers of his left hand were shot away, and he was also shot in the body
 The result of hls wounds was a temper ary alteration of mind, during which he wandered back to New York, and the war was over before he could re
 turn to his regiment. So he stands [ technical deserter from the army. After the war he took his wife and went to California. There he hired out as day laborer on ranches in southern Cali fornia, and there he has been ever since
 His story has been related before and no doubt he has repeated it so often now that he himself has come to believe it.

As a Farmer.

While am descended from long line of agriculturlsts, says a Western governor, as farmer I am a terrible warning. What I don't know about farming is what you farmers know; what I know is what you don't know. The history of my farming is that I once owned farm, and, not knowing what to do with it, I sold it and lost the money
