The Gra~lnl Cake Walk.

''That takes thSeeake,'' is phrase one
hears ON every hand, used by people
who have but little idea of the origin of
the quaint and homely, yet expressive,
slang. It has its origin in the cake
walk, o beloved institution of the colored
people of the south, which finds especial
favor in Baltimore At Il cake walk every
body pays his or her tariff at the door
and is entitled to walk for the prize
cake, which is sometimes made especially
worthy of exeltion by having a dollar
baked in it. When tho walk is held
at small private house tho prize walker
is generally judged by grace and proud
ness of locomotion, but when it is held
in large hall, dignity, eyenness and
time of step are added to the intricacy
of promenade figures and movements

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,

Some city people have acquired

ense, and, besides, a large proper
ton we're themselves couDtryborn

appreciation of the Importance OF

of public prosperity can not fail to

but with Difference. Every class
has some peculiarities. Those OF
country people are such as adapt
them to the necessities Of their

OF mankind must always be based.
This Is the season when thou

Every consideration and view
that can be taken of the matter,
points to shelter for live stock as

not, then, neglect the matter any
longer. but proceed at once to erect
good and comfortable shelter for
all the cattle, sheep, hogs, &c, OF

Be sure to secure a dry roof over

what the material ls-lcaves are

shelter as will keep the animal, aud

10 harvested without binding
Farmers of that State claim that
1t saves labor both in harvesting
and thresbing, and yields equally
well as by the old method of
straw bands.
Food is wasted, says the Orange
Judd Farmer, when an animal is
exposed to excessive col d; when it
is deprived of sufficient water ;
when it is compelled to drink ice
cold water; when it is worried,
driven about, or chased by other
cattle or by dogs; in short, when
ever it is not comfortable, happy,
and con tented. Even irregular
feeding is a waste of food, and
sheep especially, which are uer.
vOus creatures, will get poor in a
few days, or will not fatten, if they
are fed at irregular hours. In a
dairy, irregular feeding will not
cause a loss of uilk, and OF course
this is really a waste of food and a
waste OF money, to which no thrifty
farmer ought TO submit.
