Questions and Replies.

II. A. Robinson, Foxcroft, Maine,
writes: 81 notice the following in the
Mirror and Farmer: 'The Chazie ap-
pie of Canada sometimes brings as
much as $40 per barrel in London. In
1870 this famous variety was found
growing wild on the farm of man
named Chazie, near Niagara Falls.
The fruit has a musk-melon flavor.

A Most PerniciOus Evil.

We seriously believe that the admis-
sion into farmers families of that class
of so-called agricultural newspapers
which makes a prominent specially of
race-horse records" "pedigrees,"
training" winnings" sales," and
gives up columns weekly to accounts of
races on the various "parks," and at
the alleged agricultural y fairs, all
over the country, is doing as much to
demoralize and ruin the young men of
our farms as are the rum-shops. This is
not an exaggeration; rather it is an UNI
reinstatement, for in respectable fami-
lies care is taken to keep temptations
to intemperance away from the youth
full members of the household But,
under the guise of an innocent and in
structive agricultural and family
newspaper" thousands of our people
admit into their houses, and place be-
fore their boys, these missionaries of
gambling, which stimulate the criminal
instincts, the lust for unearned gain,
and for the eXcitements of the race
course. These lead to evil and vile as
ISOLATION with the horse-jockey class,
tending directly to cheating, lying, pro-
family, Righteousness, drunkenness and
every soul-destroying vice. No father,
no mother, who cares Gas parents should

furnish them with this class of reading,
which is really worse than the widely

Family Recipes.

GINGER RHUBARB.-Large rhubarb
is the best for this. Cut the stalks into
two-inch lengths. Weigh these, and
spread them on large dish Cor dishes)
just one layer thick. Over each pound
of rhubarb sprinkle one pound of pow
dered white sugar and few drops of
lemon juice. Let it remain like this
for twenty-four hours, when it will be
found that quantity of juice has been
extracted from the rhubarb. Make a
syrup by boiling half pound of white
sugar in half pint of water for about
ten minutes. Add to this the Juice
from the rhubarb and boil ten minutes
longer. Next add as much ginger ex-
tract as will make the syrup taste pleas
antly hot, and lay in the pieces Of rhu-
barb. Allow them to simmer very
gently until quite soft, but on no &C
count broken; then lift them out very
carefully and put them into jars. Let
the syrup boil five minutes longer; then
pour it over the rhubarb and seal at
once. JENNY PRACTICAL.

Handsome Native Plants.

The Botanic Garden at Cambridge al
ways has lesson for the quick eye in
its treatment of interesting fresh var
ieties. A giant Mesembryanthemum
(ocinocJorme), small but very grace
full native white Orchid, Cypripedium
candidum, a purple Aquilegia, strong
plant with deep green leaves, as if
reared in its own mountains, and an
exquisite white Trillium grandiflorum,
all grown in cold houses, show what
may be done with our less cultivated
plants. The Trillium especially de-
serves to be grown for an early house
plant, and will be a grateful addition to
Easter flowers. -C0rrespondence Vick'S

The Best Farmers Paper.

We have been many times asked
which paper we considered the best for
a farmer to take. For ourself, we want
more than one, two, or three, because
on some points one will much exceed
another, to be as much exceeded by
that other in other particulars. In
general average of excellence on all
points we do not see how there can be
any doubt about the Rural Ne,c YORKER
as occupying the first place among the
farmers papers of America. Still, we
should hesitate to say to Maine
farmer that he should take the Rural
in preference to one of the excellent
agricultural papers of his own state, or
to a Massachusetts farmer that he ought
to pass by Brother Cheever's excellent
New England Farmer, or the Home
stead, to take Brother Carman's mag
nifcent illustrated weekly. Every
farmer ought to take at least four
papers, even if he goes without tea,
coffee, tobacco and the circus to do it.
First, he should take his local paper,
and if this is of his own politics he
should take another home paper that
will tell him the other side, for there
does not exist the party paper that tells
the whole political truth. Then he
should take his state agricultural paper,
if there is one. He may say it is not as
good as one printed elsewhere. If so,
the reason unquestionably is that it is
not properly supported, both by sub
scriptions and contributions to its con-
tents. 1t is quite as important to the
agricultural interests of each state that
it should be represented by state
paper, as it is to the interests of a town
or county to have local paper. Its
goodness will invariably depend upon
the support it gets. The fault of pub
fishers is to spend too much, rather
than too little, to make good paper.
Some, it is true, are incompetent, but
publishing is not like farming-it won't
support shiftless man half so long.
Here, then, are two or three papers
that farmer should have. Then he
should have some great national agri-
cultural journal, like the Rurol New
Yorker. We say " like it," yet in fact
the Rural is the only American paper
that fully fills that schedule as vet.
Others aspire to it, but that is all.
Finally, we think farmer should
screw out the money somehow to take
good city daily. This is all the way
he can ever know much about what is
going on in this big round world of
ours. In selecting your daily take one
that has got big enough, and strong
enough, and intelligent enough, not to
be a party organ. You want paper
which does not profess to believe that
half the citizens of this great nation
are rogues or fools. You want, in
such paper, {" all the news, and the
truth about it," This you never will
get in strict party paper. And,
finally, take religious paper of sect
you don't belong to. You will be sur
prised to see what good Christians there
are outside of Z" the church." Broaden
yourself all you can; you will be mar
row enough then, without doubt.

RAISED RoLLs.-To one heaping
quart of flour add two tablespoonful
of white sugar and one tablespoonful
of salt; melt in one pint of new milk,
slightly warmed, and one-half cup of
butter and lard mixed; stir and beat
this well into the flour, and then add
one-half cup of lively yeast, This
makes the sponge. If l want rolls for
tea l make this sponge about eight
o'clock in the morning. BY twelve or
one O'Clock it is generally light and
well risen. Then beat the white of
one egg until stiff and mix it well with
the sponge. After this add enough
flour to make soft dough and knead
thoroughly on the molding-board for
twenty minutes. Be careful not to
knead in any more flour than is really
necessary. Return the dough to the
bowl and let it rise until about four
O'Clock. Then flour well the molding-
board and lift the dough on to it. Do
not knead it all now, but roll lightly out
with the rolling-pin until the dough is
about one-half an inch thick. Cut with
an oval biscuit-cutter and fold each roll
two-thirds of the way over Ghe long
way of the rolD, putting little melted
butter between the fold. This makes
the handsomely-shaped Tapped French
roll. Set closely together in baking
pan that is about two inches deep.
(The ordinary sheet-iron dripping-pans
are best for baking these rolls.) Throw
cloth over the pans and let rise again
by the stove for half or three-quarters
of an hour, or until well pumped up.
Then bake in rather quick oven for
about twenty-five minutes, or until
nicely Drowned top and bottom.

Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-It is stated
at the Land Ofce that under the pres
ept practice of that Office when the
public lands within a township are
opened to entry, through the fling of
mats of survey, there was rush Of
spectators and land-grabbers, who
often succeeded IN securing the best
lands, to the great Injury of bona fide
settlers. Moreover, this class Of per-
sons were able frequently to learn
when the plats Of survey were to be
received in advance of the settlers,
who were placed at a disadvantage.
To correct this abuse as far as possible
the Commissioner of the Land Office
has issued the following instructions
to land officers:
thereafter when an approved plat
of the survey of any township is trans
mitted to you by the Surveyor Gem
eral, you will not regard sucn plats as
officially received at and IN your Office
until the following regulations have
been complied with:
Il. You will forthwith post a no.
tice in a conspicuous place in your Of
fee, specifying the township that has
been surveyed, and stating that the
plat or survey will be FLED in your
Office on q day to be fixed by you and
named in the notice, which shall be
not less than thirty days from the
date Of such notice, and that on and
after such day you will be prepared to
receive applications for the entry of
lands in such towns.
2. You will also send copy Of such
notice to the postmasters o. the post
offices nearest the land, and % copy
TO each clerk Of g. court Of record 10
your district, with the request that
the same be conspicuousiy posted IN
their respective offices.
8. You Will furnish the public press
IN your district with copies Of such as

Lefty of the matter in answer to ia
quiries (for which you will charge no
fee) and otherwise as you may be able

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.
Changes That WIFI BE Made-GessIp
about ch arm anship.
st. Louis Republican


A Washington telegram says:
There is to be so little of contest ia
the reorganization of the house this
year that it is a subjecs seldom dis
cussed, but now and then gossip turns
to a consideration of Mr.. Carlisle's
course in making up his committees,
and during the past few days chance
seems to have stirred up considerable
talk about the chairmanships. There
will necessarily be a good many
changes for the reason that no less
than tWenty>six OF the committee
chairman in the last congress will not
be members of this, as follows: Mess
RS. BucKncr, R0secrans, Cox, Nancy,
Payer, Bagley, Warner of Tennessee,
Stockslager, Cassidy, Hopkins, Vance
Hewitt, of Alabama, Muldrow, Harde-
man, Davis of Missouri, Thompson,
Morse, Morgan, Young, Covington,
Moulton, Scales, Mutchler, Slocum,
Eaton, and Hardy. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Carlisle will appoint most Of
the old chairmen who have been rea
elected, and in some cases the custom
of appointing the second member of
the committee chairman will doubt
less be followed. In following this
Sractice O'Neill would become chair
nan of the committee on labor
and Clardy Of reform IN the civil ser
vice. O'Neill by this promotion would
secure the position to which he is en-
titled as the creator Of the labor com
mittee, and the advancement would
no doubt be gratifying to him and to
his constituents. How Clardy would
be pleased with the craftsmanship OF
the civil service reform committee is
quite another question. One thing is
certain, however, that under his lead
ership the committee would never
prove a conservatory OF tnIcaI and
fanciful reform. Whatever reforrNs
it would undertake would be Of =
bust type, calculated TO insure good
and capable democrat an equal show
with the officeholding republicans oil
garchy, which the so>called reform
begun under republican rule certalM-
ly does not admit. Even If there IS
no general reconstruction of the COM
mittees it will be seen that the
changes in the membership of the
house will give Mr.. CarlisI& any
important vacancies to fill, and as
places on the ways and means and ap-
propliations committees are as much
sought for as cbairmanships, he will
have a great deal to do even if he does
no more than fill vacancies.
Four members of the ways and
means committee of the last house
are not members of this. OF these
the democrats are: Blackburn of Ken
tuckey, who was electea to the senate !;
Hurd of Ohio, who was left at home,
and Jones Of Arkansas, who was also
promoted to the senate, The only
vacancy in the republican member
ship will be the place held by Russell
of Massachusetts,, who was not elected.
This will probably go to Mckinley of
Ohio, he having been member of it
IN three congresses already, and will
probably get his former place next to
Judge Kelley.
OF the appropriations committee
seven members, Ellis, Hancock, Hut>
chins, FolIett, Keller, Horn, and
Washburn, returned to congress.
