After long experience, we find the best
way to use petroleum is to apply it
heavily on the outside, SO that it
may penetrate the pores freely; and
then after some weeks, if paint is
wanted, to apply a coat or two OF

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Farm. Notes.

The statement. is made that a hop.
grower of Western New York, who re-
fused 81 a pound for his crop in '82,
had it sold the other day, by the sher-
If, for to cents a pound.
An agricultural expert in New York,
produced a hybrid OF wheat and rye,
and then crossed this again with rye,
the result being a grain one-fourth
wheat and three-fourths rye.
About Is, 900 clothes-baskets were
made in Syracuse, N. Y, last yearfrom
the product of thousand acres sett
willow thereabout, at one foot dis
tance in rows three feet apart, spring
worked with cultivator and the growth
cut close each fall. The price has fall
len from $50 to $50, and the business
is considered oyerdone.
Prof. Riley says he has handled thou
sands Of seventeen-year locusts and
was never stung He believes they are
incapable OF inhicting injury. He in
vestigated and found that large wasps
preyed upon the locusts, and that
in every instance where an actual in
jury occurred it was traceable to the
wasp and not the locusts.
Mr.. j. NJ Samuels, a strawberry
king" OF Tennessee, has fifty acres Of
Wilson, which he reports as doing we'll
in that State. The Lutesville Vidette
mentions this variety as "never known
to fail Of a good crop" in Missouri
since it's introduction there ten years
ago.
Cauliaower, the most delicate veg
etable Of the cabbage tribe, is less
grown and appreciated in this country
than it's merits deserve. It requires
rather higher culture than thecabbage
to secure a good crop. We have had
excellent success with the Imperial,
Giant White italian and Lackawanna;
,Henderson's EARLY SNOWFALL is credit
ed with having marvellous virtues.

For the Cook.

VEGETABLE SouP.-Cut up a large
plateful Of any kind OF vegetables you
may have, such as onions, potatoes
(boil potatoes in other water), pars-
nips, parsley, asparagus, cabbage, tur-
nips, &c. First putinto asaucepanhalf
"a cup OF clarified butter. When it is
very hot put in the sliced onions; stir
well to prevent burning. When it as
sumes a redish color, stir in large
tablespoonful of sifted flour until it
has the same color as the onions.
Now stir in q pint of hot water and
some salt and pepper. Do not put
salt and pepper in at first, as
the onions and flour would more
readily burn. Add also all the other
vegetables. Let them simmer, adding
more hot water when. necessary, for
two hours. Then press through a col
.ander. Return them to the range in
zsoup-kettle and keep hot until ready to
serve. ~
FRIED SwEETBREAD.- Parboil them,
cut into even-sized pieces, season with
salt and pepper, egg and bread crumb
them, and fry in boiling lard. Put on
a hot dish and garnish with new peas.
BAKED BEEF-Take five pounds oftol-
serably lean beef, same as would be used
for a-la-mode. Put into a bake-pan
with two onions and a carrot sliced,
two or three sprigs of parsley, three
cloves, some celery tops if procurable,
and a quart Of boiling water. Cover
as tightly as possible, with pan same
size, and place into the oven. Let it
cook about three hours, replenishing
with a little boiling water if the steam
escapes too much.
HoRsERADIsH SAUCE.-Simmer to-
getherfor quarter ofan hour half
cup full OF cracker meal, alfcup full Of
grated horseradish, one cup OF cream,
a tablespoonful of the fat from the
water in which the beef is cooked
season well. Now place the beef on the
platter on which it will be served
garnish nicely with parsley, pour the
sauce in a bowl and serve as desired.
STRAWBERRY JELLY.-Mash freshly
gathered strawberries in an earthen
pan with wooden spoon, squeeze the
juice through flannel bag, for every
quart Of juice allow a pound and a
half Of white sugar, an ounce Of ISM
glass dissolved in a little water, and
the juice of four lemons. Put this in
to the whitest OF porcelain pans and
place over gentle fire. Skim thorough
.ly, boil a few minutes, and strain re-
peatedly through a jelly bag until it is
perfectly clear. When nearly cold put
into the moulds. If it is to be used

Care of the Feet.


n Y. Tribune-For soft corns, take
a small bit Of fine, soft cotton and put
it between the toes affected, alock just
large enough to keep the toes from
touching each other. Change the cot
ton every morning and in a short time
your corn will have vanished Or, wear
loose cloth or canvass shoes. Or, APP
ply q slice Of lemon, renewing it every
day and the corn can soon be picked
out by the root. Or dust daily be-
tween the toes affected burnt alum and
borax in equal parts. M. D. writes that
if n. B. d. who suffers from tender feet
will put a teaspoonful of burnt alum
and borax III equal parts finely pow
dered in each Of his stockings the mix
tlre will tougher and tan the skin OF
his feet and relieve the suffering For
hard corns, wet the end of a stick oflu-
mar caustic and apply to thecorn once
a day for several days in succession.
This will blacken the skin, and after a
couple of weeks the core OF the corn will
peel out together with all the skin
touched by the caustic. (This remedy
should be used with great care and mod
eration.-Ed For chilblains, work
pulverized chalk into lard until q stiff
ointment is made, then rub in well on
retiring at night. This remedy requires
perseyering application; once or twice
a week will not cure. The aboveis the
substance ofmany letters received from
correspondents.
Which Breed.
The question Of what breed they
shall raise is one that troubles many
people much more than there is really
amy occasion for. Almost any OF the
improved breeds are good enough if the
man possessing one OF them will han
die it to the best advantage. If large
hogs are wanted, either Poland Chinas,
Berkshires, or Duroc-Jerseys will fill
the bill and grow big enough for any
body; in fact, no one knows how big,
or which will grow biggest in the short
est time. Ii small hogs are desirsble,
there is abundant range in size be-
tween the Suffolks, small York
shires, and Essex. In the Western and
Central States, where land and corn are
cheap, the larger sorts are most popu-
lar and doubtless most profitable,
but in the East, where smallernumbers
are reared and food ismore expensive,
those less bulky are most highly es-
teemed. Those who best know the
best Essex think highly OF them; and
if such specimens as those shown at
New Orleans by Mr. Featherston, Of
Canada, are considerably disseminate
ed, a big boom for that breed in the
near future is by no means an impos-
sibility. The idea OF goingback to the
rearing Of white hogs Of any breed does
not seem to win friends very rapidly,
and there seems to be no special rea-
sons why it should.-Our Country

Mind Your Own Business,

The first law of nature should also
be the first law of every establish
ment. 1t is needless to say what
that law is. Chaos is a great many
things mixed together, making
nothing, and a shop where there is
no order is the next thing to chaos.
Order and system should every
where be strictly observed and Il
guarantee of it lies in a close adher-
ence to the rule mind your own
business" 1t seems to be natural
instinct in some people to want to
attend to the affairs of other people.
Such persons will neglect everything
else over this favorite occupation.
They will count upa mans earnings
and expenses, and make notes of
what he ought to have in bank,
what his household expenses are
and how many cigars he smokes per
day. They will interest themselves
in the details of his business, and
speculate upon his trade practices.
If he invests they win mentally
count up the consequences of his
running into debt, and wonder
whether or not he will finally pay
his bills. Should he decide it advis-
able to take trip, there will be idle
minds specU lating upon the proba-
bility of his staying away entirely
with ill-gotten gains and blowing
his nose at partners and creditors.
Such men would the fractional
parts of brains they have about the
controlling of the universe, and crit
icize the plan of salvation, even il
quite careless of their own.
Let each man understand that his
neighbours delinquencies make nc
part of his responsibilities, and that
to bother yourself with it is no helE
to him. To be mindful of others is
accepted currently as evidence of {
generous and considerate DISPOSE
ton. Hence to be concerned only
about own affairs is taken as ego
tism.
We deny this. The most selfsl
men in the world are not those witt
| attend most strictly to their owl
5 affairs. This is paradoxical, if yol
, will, but disprove it if you can. w
believe that the man who takes goo,
care of himself does more good 70
,, his neighbors than the one who let
}. his own offairs go to ruin, while h
5 is engaged in giving advice and res
ulating the conduct of others.
Judge and correct yourself an
you will benefit your neighbor MOI
than by Judging and correctin

MESSRs. EplTprs-A visit to the Oxford
Agricultural Fair on Thursday Of this
week convinced US that as an exhibition
il was a terrible tame affair. The display
of stock was limited, and agricultural inn
elements very scarce After waiting
until nearly two o'clock the bell was tap
ped. notifying horscmcn to bring out the
rioters. The horses were soon on the
track. but long-winded conversation
took place in the judges stand, which de
layrd the starting Of the races until
nearly three o'clock. This is in direct
opposition to the rules Of the National
Trptting Association and not only this,
the people grew tired and impatient,
knowing that darkness would come on
with the trOttiug not finished. New
vigur is much needed. The association
may be making money, but many more
. like the one held on Thursday, will Ger
tainIy not tend to increase its popularity
. We trust our next will find great adj
yancemcnt made by the Oxford Fair.

THE "hard times" cry seems to be
a very convenient expression for
those who seek to put you off when
a bill is presented. 1t may be well
enough for a man to ask time on
bills of large amounts, but when it
comes to fellow using the "hard
times" cry as a cloak when the sum
total is dollar or a dollar and a.
half, then it is the cry loses its true
meaning. Such a thing as good
times" would cause this class of in
dividuals to shake and shiver and
claw about for another meaningless
excuse. We would say, shame on
men, who after contracting to pay
small amount, monthly or quarterly
forfeit their word by failing to do so
We feel thankful that THE LEDGER
books contain the names of few
promise-breakers.
