Preserving Sheep Skins.

Where farmers kill but few sheep
during the season they can make better
use of the pelts than to sell them if
they know how to preserve them. For
mats take two long-wooled skins;
make strong suds, using hot water;
when it is cold wash the skins in it,
carefully squeezing them between the
hands to get the dirt out of the wool;
then wash the soap out with clear, cold
water. Then dissolve alum and salt,
each a half-pound, with little hot
water sufficient to cover the skins, and
let them soak in it over night for twelve
hours; then hang over pole to drain.
When they are well drained spread or
stretch carefully over board to dry.
When a little damp have one ounce
each of saltpeter and alum pulverized,
and sprinkle on the flesh side of each
skin, rubbing in well; then lay the flesh
side together and hang in the shade for
two or three days, turning the under
skin uppermost every day, until per-
fectly dry; then scrape the flesh side
with blunt knife to remove any re-
naming scraps of flesh. Trim off pro-
jecting points; rub the flesh side with
the hands. They also make good nit
tens. Lamb-skins, or even sheep-skins,
if the wool be trimmed off evenly to
half or three-fourths of an inch long,
make beautiful and warm mittens for
ladies and gentlemen, and the girls, with
little practice, can make them.

Plain Cakes..-NO. I.

RECIPES for cake are abundant, in
our papers and cook books, but those
who desire simple and wholesome food
find many of them too rich or too ex-
pensive for daily use. The following,
which we have long tried, are valuable
for their simplicity, economy and real
excellence
CooKIEs.-Five cups of flour, three
of sugar, one of butter, one of sour
milk, one tea-spoonful of soda, two
eggs. Roll thin
CREAM OF TARTAR LOAF CAKE
One pint of flour, one cupful of sugar,
one-third cupful of butter, one cupful of
milk, one tea-spoonful of cream of tar
tar, half tea-spoonful of soda; salt, nut
meg and fruit to the taste.
GINGER DRoPs.-One cup of mo-
lasses, one tablespoonful of butter, one
tea-spoonful of soda, one-half cup of
boiling water poured on soda and but
ter, tea-spoonful of ginger. Flour to
thicken so as to drop on shallow pans
from the side of the spoon to form leaf
shaped cookies. SELBY.
Mock SPONGE CAKE.-One egg, one
cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of but
ter, one pint of -four, two tea-spoonfuls
of cream tartar, one of soda, one cup
of new milk. Flavor with lemon.
Beat the egg and add sugar, butter and
soda; beat together and add milk and
flour, in which the cream tartar has
been sifted. Some sprinkle the top
with sugar before baking.

Distressed with Too Much.o

A peculiar kind of hard times has
come upon the farmers and people of
this country. If you inquire what prod
uct is so short as to cause distress, the
answer will be that it is not scarcity of
anything that causes hard times-there
is too much wheat, too much corn, too
much grain of all kinds; too much hay,
too much beef, pork, sugar; too much
wool, cotton, iron, steel; too much of
everything. We are in distress of too
much, borne down with the sad burden
of superabundance. We are uncertain
what advice to give---even money is too
plenty, and often can't be loaned at
low interest"
We cut the above from an agricul-
tural exchange, only to say that there
is reverse to that shield. While a
great many are distressed with too
much, a still larger number are dis
tressed for lack of this " too much"
1t is not happy state of things when
the working people of nation have
labored to store up superabundance
of all things needful to their comfort
and well being, and then suddenly find
that, though their work produced it,
they have no claim to any of it, and
must suffer in the midst of an abun-
dance which their own hands wrought.
The slavery question was great prob
lem which has been most wonderfully
solved. But now rises up before us
the great question of the free working
man and his right to live without fear
of starvation, and with right to
enough of his own productions to en-
able him to live and enjoy life without
the nightmare of semi-starvation for
five years out of every ten.

Is 1t Rights

Is it right to set one class of the peo-
pie against another class ? Well, that
depends upon circumstances. 1t de-
ponds upon what that other class is do
ing. If it is selling rum, if it is main
tanning gambling houses and brothels, if
tits engaged in burglary, horse stealing,
pocket-picking, or, in short, is engaged
in preying upon the public in any way,
then it is eminently just and right that
the facts should be made known. And
the case is not altered, however wealthy,
however prominent in society, or in
public life, or even in the church, these
workers of i'll to the people may be. In
fact, the higher they stand the more
theoretically should their conduct, and
its evil results, be made public. In this
way only can the public safety and the
rights of honest people be secured.

Social Glasses.

Heretofore the world of men has as
sorted and classified itself either by the
single standard of wealth, or by the
double standard of wealth and knowl-
edge. Our recognized classification,
and practically our only one, has been
into poor, comfortable, and rich, or,
little more completely, into poor and ig-
norant, comfortable with some educa-
ton, and rich in money or knowledge.
The first is the classification of barba-
rians, the second is the classification of
standardization. We have yet to see
social scale based upon a thoroughly
civilized ideal, which will take cogni-
zance of the three-fold nature of man,
viz, his sensual nature, his intellectual
nature, and his moral nature. Then
our three classes of society will be ar
ranged as follows: The lowest class will
consist of those who find enjoyment
only, or chiefly, in the pleasures of
sense. The middle class will be made
pleasure the enjoyment of the intellect.
The upper or highest class will consist
of such as place their chief happiness
in the exercise of the moral and spirit
ual nature. When mankind has learned
to assert itself upon this system, the
highest class will be in every true
sense, and find its enjoyment in being,
the servant of the classes beneath it,
Its chief effort will be for the elevation
of the whole world of men to its own
level. 1t will be true aristocracy,"
in the original Greek sense of the word,
"a government of the best" while
at the same time it will be true democ-
racy, according to the standard of
Christ, who laid down the fundamental
democratic principle that he is to be
greatest among men who shall render
the best service to mankind

Tobacco and Butter.

"Mr. Editor viii tobacco smoke
made by one person smoking injure
milk in milk-room warmed from the
living room in which the smoking is
done? A. NJ, Calais, VT"
REPLY.-Yes, unquestionably, but
perhaps no worse than cooking. 1t de-
ponds somewhat upon whether the
tobacco flavor, the boiled cabbage fla
vor, or the fried onions flavor is pre-
ferred. Wherever it is necessary to
have dairy-room adjoining and
warmed from living room, cabinet
creamery of some sort, by which the
milk and cream can be kept tightly
covered until ready to churn, should be,
and in fact must be used, in order to
make marketable butter.

The Other Kind.

The greatest danger of the times is
the political use of wealth in the inter
est of selfish greed. Most of the great
fortunes of America are being used in
that way. But we must all remember
that man is not necessarily rich be-
cause he is greedy, nor greedy because
he is rich. Our country has many
shining examples to the contrary
George Washington was the richest man
of his time in America-at once our
best, our foremost and our wealthiest
citizen. Stephen Girard gave his whole
fortune for the education of the poor.
Peter Cooper's long, life was continual
benefaction to the world. In almost
every state we find great educational
and charitable institutions founded by
the rich for the benefit of the poor.
Many of our politicians have labored
nobly in this cause. Our own Senator
Morrill's name will be longest remem-
bered and most honored as that of one
who laid deep the cornerstone of indus
trial education. Vermont was lately
benefited by the benevolence of Araunah
Huntington in the same cause. The
richest man in Maine, Governor Col
burn, gave literally while he lived, and
bequeathed round million to the cause
of education when he died. And now
we hear that one of that most dangerous
class, the railroad magnates of the coun-
try, Governor Stanford of California,
is to transfer his whole estate of fifteen
millions to that commonwealth, chiefly
as an educational fund. With all our
just fears of the corrupting power of
wealth, it must still be admitted that in
no age and no country have the pos
SCISSORS of wealth been so conscious of
and so responsive to the duties of their
position, as at this time in the United
States of America.

Puidings.

AS buildings are now displacing pies
in many families, l send you my collec-
ton of recipes, which makes pudding
for every day in the week. Many of
them are as good made day or two be-
fore used and, in summer, need no
warming:
BATTER PUDDING.-To one quart of
sour milk add heaping spoonful of
thick cream, two beaten eggs, tea
spoonful of soda and little salt: steam
one hour. Serve with syrup or sugar
and cream.
CRACKER PUDDING.-Three crackers,
two or three eggs, half cupful of
sugar, a little salt; put into one quart
of milk and bake one hour slowly; stir
up once after it gets to baking. Some
add half cup of raisins.
APPLE CRUMB PUDDING into a
nappy layer of apples, cut rather fine
then layer of crumbs; alternate till
your dish is filed sprinkle with salt,
cinnamon (and, if very sour apples are
used, little sugar.; pour in a little
water; bake slowly one hour. Sauce
sugar, with milk or cream.
CORN-STARCH PUDDING.-Take the
yolks of four eggs, four tablespoonful
of starch and little milk; beat to-
gether thoroughly and stir into one
quart of boiling milk; when it boils,
turn into pudding-dish; cover with the
whites of the eggs beaten with four
tablespoonful of white sugar and a
fiavoring of vanilla or lemon, and
brown lightly in the oven.
TAPIOCA PUDDING.-Soak a cupful
of tapioca few hours; pare and dig
out the cores of apples to cover the bot
tom of the deep dish; fill the holes with
sugar favored with lemon, and pour on
one cup of water; bake till they soften,
when the tapioca is to be poured on
and baked nearly an hour. Butter and
sugar, beaten together and favored with
nutmeg, is good sauce for this pudding.
META F.
RICE PUDDINGs.-Boil one cup of
rice in three cups of sailed water;
when cooked, add one cup of molasses,
three soda crackers rolled fine, and a
pint ofmilk; also small piece of butter.
Flavor with cinnamon. Another recipe
for rice pudding is this: To two quarts
of milk add a pint of rice, well washed
sweeten to taste and flavor with nut
meg; salt and little butter; bake
slowly two hours or more, and stir
often at first.

TOMATOES" Seventy-five years ago
the first tomatoes grown in this country
were cultivated as strange and snowy
horticultural curiosity in garden in
Salem. Forty-fve years ago, or little
more, they began to be used as a vege-
table in the season."
So says an exchange. But Jefferson's
" Notes on Virginia" speak of the COM
mon use of tomatoes as an article of
diet hundred years ago in the Old
Dominion. Too many Yankees think
that things never happen until they
happen in New England.

" Back" and "BOOko Farming.

Certain things are necessary to sue
cess in any business. In farming it is
necessary that the man should have good
common sense, knowledge of and
skill in the manual work of his trade,
acquaintance with the nature of soils,
the methods of working them, the ma
nures they require, the crops they are
suited to, how to choose, grow, care
for and sell the products of his business
to the best advantage, how to breed,
rear and trade in live stock, how to
manage and market their merchantable
products, and how to take care of the
proceeds.
Now man knows very little, at birth,
about farming. He has got to learn
about everything, partly by seeing,
partly by hearing, mostly by doing
or trying to do. If he cannot read,
he is shut up to these. If he can
read, he may have access to a vast

Do the farmers, mechanics, and the
laboring classes in general, believe that
the majority of the surplus wealth
which their labor yearly produces
ought in justice to be owned at the end
of the year by few financiers? Does
their common sense teach them that a
few, for the use of the money neces-
sary to exchange the commodities pro-
duced, ought to gain double, treble, or
quadruple as much of the surplus pro-
duction as those who furnish the skill
and perform the labor to make the pro-
duction?-Kellogg, Labor and Capital,

store of the observation and expert
ence of other men in print. No man
who can read, and wants to do the best
he can for himself, can really afford to
neglect the study of these stores Of
recorded experience in his business.
He may be able to make living and
save money on what knowledge he at
tains by observation, hearing, and his
own experience. Many farmers who
cannot or will not read have done
this. So men without arms, or legs,
have been able to make single pair Of
limbs do the work of two pairs, and get
living by it. Indomitable industry,
answering perseverance, minute econ
omy, will make man comfortable and
sometimes rich, with less than half the
knowledge that he might have, and
might profit by.
On the other hand, any amount of
theoretical book knowledge in regard
to any art or industry may be possessed
without the least ability to apply that
knowledge so as to get living, or
make money by it. 1t is too often so
in farming, which many people think a
very simple business, but which in re-
atty is so very difficult, extensive and
complicated that all the brains and
Drawn of the ablest man will not en-
able him to master thoroughly more
than one or two branches of it in a life
time. Very few men know equally
well how to farm heavy and light lands,
how to handle both cattle and sheep, or
swine and mules (still less horses) so
as to make money out of them. The
small-fruit man may go into orcharding
and fail. The New York or Ohio apple
grower, the Delaware peach-farmer, or
the Hudson River vineyardist, may try
orange or banana-growing in Florida,
and fail for lack of knowledge of his
new trade. How much more, then, is
the Disguised school-teacher, or the un-
successful tradesman, with little money,
no experience and a few books or an
agricultural journal, who goes into Jer-
sey cows, Merino sheep, wheat-growing,
cattle-breeding, small fruits, market
gardening or orcharding, likely to make
miserable failure at any or all of
them. AS well assume the command
of a transatlantic steamer on the
strength of owning a copy of Bopditchs
Navigator, or take big building con-
tract, with Tread,oeU on Carpentry for
ones sole instructor.
To put this matter in a nutshell, the
practical farmer can better afford to do
without book knowledge than the man
fond of the country and of reading
agricultural books can do without the
skill that comes from ten years. work,
as boy and man, on even a poorly run
farm. Both of them are heavily
weighted in contest with the man
who unites both these qualifications.
Both will have hard time, most of
them will fail even to make decent
living out of the land. But while so
large proportion of our farmers belong
to one or the other class, what splen-
did chance there is for fully equipped
men in the trade! For prices are based
upon what the acreage crops cost the
average farmer.
