SOUPS WITHOUT GREASE.-The single
but universal defect of soups made in
most households is greasiness-usually
visible to the eye, but always percepti-
BILE to the palate Most cookery books
recommend, as the cure for this, incess
ant and troublesome skimming; but La
dy Hanover solves the difficulty in the
twinkling of an eye: "And did it never
occur to YOU" said the Hermit, "that if
you wanted soup on Wednesday, you
had only to make it on Tuesday ply

off as a solid cake, and that your soup

when in boiling state, by the first cook
in Europe"


CORN MEAL PUDDING WITHOUT EGGS.
-Takeseven heaping table-spoonfuls of
meal, q tablespoonful of salt, two table
spoonfuls of butter, one tea.cupful of mo-
lasses, q tablespoonful of ginger, and
mix with q quart of boiling milk.
When thoroughly mixed, pour into
buttered pan, and just as you set in the
oven stir in cup of cold water, which
will have the same effect as eggs. Bake
one hour.


GINGERBREAD LoAF.-Two pounds of
-four, two pounds of molasses, half a
pound coarse brown sugar, one ounce
and half of ground ginger, one ounce
of carraway seed, six ounces of butter,
eight eggs and small tablespoonful of
soda; melt the butter and mix with the
other ingredients. Bake about three
hours.


DYSPEPSIA BREAD.-The following re-
cipe for making bread has proved highly
salutary to persons afflicted with dys-
pepsia: Three quarts of unbelted wheat
meal, one quart of soft water, warm but
not hot, one gill of fresh yeast, one gill
of molasses, or not, as may suit the
taste and one teaspoonful of saleratus.


Sailing BUTTER.-The quantity of salt
needed to keep the butter will vary
from one pound of salt to twenty-fOur
of butter, to the same amount for twen-
ty-eight pounds.


The object is to have the water and
buttermilk which remain in the butter
thoroughly saturated with salt, and of
course the more the butter is worked
and freed from the buttermilk, the less
salt will be required to salti enough for
preservation; but as enough salt to keep
it will not usually make it salt enough
for the taste of many customers, we
must add more; one pound to twenty
four of butter will not generally be too
much for the public taste.-Cor. Vest

COMMON GRAPE WINE.-Take any

after fermentation has ceased, cork it;

AT meeting of the Herkimer Farm
ers' Club, May 10th, the subject of
PLASTER and its Uses was discussed.
One member said he had tried plaster
a spoonful to hin of corn-and found
. marked difference between the hills
thus served and those to which none
was applied. 1t was question among
farmers whether the effect was produc-
ed from the air, OF by the absorption of
the soil. 1t was generally supposed
that the gas OF ammonia originating
form the decomposition of vegetable or
other substances, floated in the air, and
that the plaster took these gases and
conducted them to the grain or grasses
to which it was applied. A mixture of
leached ashes and plaster produced a
good effect on vegetation. The expert
ence of the other members Of the Club,
with plaster and ashes, was of like
character. Some thought the use ef
plaster on low lands was not of much
benefit, but on uplands the advantage
was readily psrceptible. Early spring
sowing-abont one hundred pounds to
the acre-was deemed about right, but
applied to corn in the hill, in small
quantities, will pay well.

The present price of wool-low as
compared to the rates of the four past
years-and the unfavorable season just
passed, 80 severe onlambs, combine some
what to discourage wool-growers, more
especially in the West. In the East we
see signs that the fiock-owners are more
persistent and hopeful. The New Hamp-
shire Farmer has an article by DR.. Boyn-
ton, editor ofits sheep department, well
fitted to our latitude as we'll as theirs.
He says: Notwithstanding the low
price of wool, our farmers would as soon
think of abandoning their homes as
their tlocks. Nay, the knowing ones
are already bestirring themselves in
pursuit of bargains, shrewdly reckoning
that wool can touch NO lower deep-un-
less the bottom falls out-and that the
best time to buy sheep is when they can
be bought cheapest. Now is the time
to buy sheep, before the stock of WOODEN
goods is swept out of the market, and
the price of wool advanced, as it must
and will be-"


OF the wool tariff he says: at can
not govern the weather, prevent short
crops, manage the combinations inter
ested in thwarting its purposes, clear
the market at once of competing wools
imported before it went into force" and
then quotes the imports of wool and
woolens at New York for six moAths in
1866 and 1867, showing large decrease
in the last period and says, "If the i'm
portation of competing woods in this
port has been lessened near half in the
first six months after the tariff went in
to operation, the law of demand and
supply must force up the price. We be-
lievc the man who starts flock on the
present market will be decidedly in
luck"


Doubtless the vast stock Of woolens
and the great quantity of wool pushed
into the country from abroad before the
tariff was passed must be working off
and if the tariff have any influence, as
it must, it will be to prevent fraudulent
invoicing and the flooding of our mar
kets at very low duties with great deal
of wool, which ought to have paid high
er ddties and must pay them, now and
hereafter, and this wool of qualities
and kinds we raise in this country.

By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
Where the blades Of the grave grass quiyer,
Asleep are the ranks Of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew,


Waiting the judgment day;
Under the one the Blue


Under the other, the Grey.
These in the robings of glory,
Those in the gloom of defeat;
All with the battle-blOod CORY,

Under the sod and the dew,


Waiting the judgment day
Under the laurel the Blue;


Under the willow, the Grey.
From the silence of sorrOwful hours
The desolate mourners 90,
Loving laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,


Waiting the judgment day;

Under the lilies the Grey.
So, with an equal splendOr,
The morning Sun-rays fall,
With touch impartially tender.
On the blossoms blooming for all
Under the sod and the dew,


Waiting the judgment day;
BrOidered with gold the Blue;


Mellowed with gold, the Grey.
So, when the summer calletb,
On forest and field of grain
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain
Under the sod and the dew,


Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with rain, the Blue;


Wet with rain, the Grey.
Sadly, but not with upbraiding,
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years are fading
No Drawer battle was won;
Under the sod and the dew,


Waiting the judgment day;
Under the blossoms. the blue;


Under the garlands, the Grey.
No more shall the war.cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead!
Under the sod and the dew


Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,


Tears and love for the Grey.
