EVERGREENS.

kSEhUNEENSs
The less which so frequently occurs
in traEsrlantins everste Gems Genes from
the fact of persons not knowing the
proper time, rs much IS the improper
manner in which it is done. Any one
knowing the habits Of evergreens in
general and cedars, arbir vitas in par
ticular, know that they DO not throw
off the old crop OF leaves at all, but
simply 60 on adding to the already
grown branches and making the new
growth directly on the old. And yet
they have time for maturing this
wood. During the fall and winter
months this maturity shows itself in a
dull, sometimes brown green. Towards
the last Of February most evergreens
show their old leaves turned yellow,
while the cedars show no such loss.
Being guided III things in general, we
must conclude tina, they have now
reached the state Of maturity which is
the proper time for transplantipg. The
first of March then finds us ready for
the work. Dsciduous trees are already
throwing up sap into their buds, and
the maple and alders have almost
ceased to bloom long before trees of this
nature should have been set in their
places but it Is during the short period
of rest in their vegetation that ever
green's must be lranspIanted. Soil is
not an unimportant item. When one
wishes to Get cedar, or any OF its kind,
clay, the hole should be made large
enough to replace the soil for at least
foot around with sandy Ioam well
mixed with rotten compost. A mulch
of trash, brick bats or leaves should be
added to the surface. Firm The ground
well with stick in and around the
roots. Place stick for Il support as
near the body rs possible to prevent it
being shaken by March winds, but do
not leave the earth in u mound, neither
a hole, but near the level of the SUR
rounding ground.
It has been thought for years
that many Of the haudso,nest Of north
ern evergrecns would not thrive in the
South, bnt where one pays proper at
tentiOn to the habit of the chosen
shrub they will find no difficulty.
For instance, v;tas, cellars, jumpers
aud pines require sunlight and room;
while aucubas, magnoIias, box and
japonica delight in crowds and shade.
The sun will burn up berbevis and
take every particle Of gold ont Of the
leAf of an aucuba, while an oleander in
too shaded place will lose its leaves
and resemble a bunch Of green sticks.
Close pruning for evergreens, like
tina, for roses, make them ell the hand
somcr, but should te done always ia
mild weather, and never during the
winter.
always take smnl! ones. They are The
sures! t. live, are the Least checked
by the removal, Will nearly always
catch up with larger ones and are much
cheaper to purchase, as the longer a
shrub remains in the nursery the more
it costs.
Among the evergreens that are be-
coming the fashion, easy to gov and
handsome in appearance, arc the bal
sam fir, Norway spruce aud imported
pines. All do admirably we'll in our

DILLON AT THE GRAND.
The Old Oshkosh Favorite Draws and
Amuses Large Audience.

The audience that assembled at the
Grand opera house, last evening,to wei
come John Dillon after an absence of

CRAFTY the veteran comedian even
though always favOrite with Oshkosh
theater gOers. Nearly "a thousand peo-
pie greeted him. every seat in the
house being filed excepting perhaps a
score in the first rows of the parquette
which were more than offset by the
number who remained standing
throughout the performances. The
play, Wanted. The Earth" in which
Mr.. Dillon assumes the role of a New
Jersey farmer who afterwards be-
comes a SPECTATOR and mingles in
society. is Che best in which he has
ever appeared here. 1t is certainly a
very complete and finished comedy
with clever plot and numberless
laughable situations. Mr.. Dillon con
yulsed the audience with nearly every
sentence he uttered and so ingratiated
himself into the good graees of the
spectators. that in his most sober
moments they awaited with smiles his
next joke. The support was all that
could be desired, rounding out the en-.
tertainment to perfection. The per-
Torrance was certainly very enjoya-
bic, elevated ia sentiment, clever in
plot. finished in detail. pleasing and
amusing, out of which Dillon shone as
brilliantly as any comedian who has
appeared here in years. Oshkosh

Pancakes in Variety.


On cold winter mornings pancakes
Of all kinds hold an important place at
the breakfast table; tho buckwheat
cake the most cherished of all. When
properly made, this is the most de-
licious of all the griddla cakes, but it
has been against it when made from
yeast or risen over night that it was
difficult to make light and sweet, and
that disagreeable effects frequently
followed its eating. lt is found that
by the use of the Royal Baking Pow
der 10 raise the batter these objections
have been entirely overcome, and the
buckwheat cakes are made a most de-
liciOus food, light, sweet, tender and
perfectly wholesome. that can be eaten
by anyone without the slightest diges-
tive inconvenience. Once tested from
the following receipt no other will be
used: Two cups of buckwheat, one
cup of wheat flour, two tablespoons of
Royal Baking Powder, one half tea
spoonful of salt, all sifted well togeth-
er. Mix with milk into thin batter
and bake at once on hot griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made
by dissolving sugar in the proportion
of three pounds of sugar TO enc pint of
water. Many persons prefer the flavor
of syrup made of Orleans sugar to that
made of the white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious.
The rice is cooked until perfectly soft,
drained dry. mashed with a spoon I'M
til the grains are well broken up. For
each cupful of rice take two eggs, one
pint of milk. one heaping teaspoonful
of Royal Baking Powder, one-half tea
spoonful of salt, and flour enough To
make thin batter.
For hominy cakes take two cupfuls
of cooked hominy and crush it with a
potatO-masher until it is smooth mass.
Add one level teaspoonful of salt, two
teasp0onfuls of Royal Baking Powder,
aud one cupful of flour. Stir together;
then add by degrees one quart OF milk,
and lastly three well beaten eggs.
Bake in thin cakes.
Very delicate and delicious cakes
are made by allowing two teaspoonfuls
of Royal Baking Powder aud one-half
teaspuonful of salt to one quart of
milk, and sufficient corn meal, mixing
all into smooth, thin batter; no eggs
or butter are used for these. The
cakes bake quickly TO rich deep
brown, and are extremely tender and
light.
A very delicious, sweet pancake is
made by taking one pint of sweet
milk, four eggs, two tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar, two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, one teaspOonful of
Royal Baking Powder, and flour enough
TO make a moderately thin batter.
Beat the eggs, whites and yelks sepa-
rately, until well frothed, stir the but
ter. sugar, and one cupful of flour, in
to which the baking powder has been
mixed, into the yelks, then add the
milk. If needed, add more flour.
Bake in small cakes, butter each one
10 it comes from the fire. place four
in pile, with very thin layers of any
kind of sweet jelly between, and pow
dered sugar over the top. They
should be baked very thin and four
served To each person.
