KILLING RATS.--The following cheap a&d simple method of extermination is Mid to have been successfully employed by Baron Von Backhofen ana his neigh­ bors for some years past: A mixture of two parts of well-bruised common squills ac.d three parts of finely-chopped bacon is made into a stiff mass, with as much meal as may be required, and then baked into small cakes, which are put down for the rats to eat. Several cor­ respondents of the German Agricultural Gazette write to announce the complete extirpation of rate and mioe from their oow-stalls and piggeries sinoe the adop­ tion of this simple plan. A DRINKING VESSEL FOB CHICKS.-- Hake air-tight a fruit or oyster can. On •one side, half an inch from the bottom, j»uneh three holes, each one-quarter of an inch in diameter. Before these holes •older to the can a piece of tin to form a trough one inch deep. Upon the side Opposite, at the top, solder also a ring by which to hang the can to the side of the coop. Fill it by immersing it for a few moments in a pail of water. The aecret is in the air holes' being in the trough, so that water can escape only when they are uncovered. So long as the trough is clean the water will be pure. Chicks must be kept supplied -with water, and it must be in vessels not deep enough to drown them.--Fancier'» Journal. THE farmer who calculates to makes Ms living by farming cannot afford to lose a knowledge of the best methods in [practice, and he cannot hope to learn these methods by his own experience oven if that experience be a . rich one. He cannot afford to lose the money which he certainly will by aelling his produce blindly, without knowing the conditions of the market and the things which affect its rise and fall. If he is successful without taking a paper, it is because he gets his infor­ mation from those who do. Any farmer who may have taken this paper for even a short period can recall the numberless ways in which he may have taken ad­ vantage of hints and facts noted in the various departments, and turned them to his profit.--Detroit Free Press. MANY of our neighbors' cherry trees are becoming knotty, and dying. A lady narrated in our hearing, a few evenings aince, her experience with a tree of the aarne description. A large tree, of the common red variety, stood beside the kitchen door. The body and limbs were knotty and rough, the fruit scanty and worthless; the dead leaves in fall were continually drifting over the porch and walk; in fact, in the good house-wife's eyes, the tree was simply a nuisance, and she importuned her husband to re­ move it. He refused to do this, how­ ever, and she determined to kill the tree. First, a barrel of beef brine was poured about the roots, and this was followed by boiling suds, every wash­ day. The result was satisfactory, but far from that anticipated. The follow­ ing season the tree was loaded with su­ perior fruit, and was free from all knots, or other defects. The enormous crop fend changed appearance of the tree might not have been attributable to the application of the brine and soap-suds, yet we believe the experiment to be Worthy of trial. Our own trees have never been troubled in that way.-- Moore's Rural. About the House. FEED milk to children. FRESH poultry has bright eyes. BOASTIKO meats is extravagant. Do NOT make your bread too light. FAT is not cheap at the price of meat. FISH will broil in from five to ten min­ utes. STALE bread may be steamed into freshness. SCALDED skim-milk will go as far as fresh milk. " MIDDLINGS" flour contains the best elements of wheat. ADD pea or bean-meal to your bread flour for nourishment. SALMON and sturgeon are red-blooded, and ire as nutritious as meat. SALT meats should be simmered; they should not be fiercely boiled. FOUB ounces of lime to a gallon of water will be all that is neoessary for keeping milk sweet. VEGETABLES supply the place of meat. Vegetables should be cooked, if possible, in water in which meat has been cooked. IN washing fine flannels, make the soap into a jelly with warm water and dry quickly. DA not put too near the fire when drying. To keep shirts from shrinking, stretch them on a board. NEW-YEAR'S MARBLE CAKE.-- White Part--Whites of four eggs, one cup white sugar, half cup of butter, half cup sweet milk, two teaspoon fills of baking powder, one teaspoonful of vanilla or lemon, and two and a half cups of sifted molasses (Porto Bioo), ball cap batter, half cup soar milk, one teaspoonful cloves, one iHtpoomul cinnamon, one teaspoonful mace, one nutmeg, one tea- spoonful soda, and one and a half cups sifted flour. Pat in the cake-dish al­ ternately, first one part and then the other. Tin should be lined with but­ tered paper. AN ECONOMICAL CHRISTMAS PUDDING. -- Soak some dried apples all night, in the morning chop them very fine. Put a fteacupful of them into a pint of molas­ ses and put them upon the back of the stove, where they will keep slightly warm for an hour or two. After that add to them one cup of chopped suet, one cup of water, one cup of chopped raisins, a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of cinnamon, three half pints of flour, and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Put the flour in last and stir all togeth­ er thoroughly. Boil two and a half hours in a bowl or tin pudding mold. This may be eaten with wine sauce, and is a very good imitation of a genuine plum pudding. The finest Church in America. The great Catholic cathedral on Fifth avenue, which has now been nearly twenty years in building, promises soon to be completed. The building has been repeatedly delayed by the absence of funds to carry on the necessary work, but it is calculated the requisite help will be forthcoming to accomplish the remainder of the design, which is pure Gothic. The main exterior of the cathe­ dral, the roof included, is already fin­ ished, and all that remains to be built up outside are the towers on the Fifth avenue front, the parapet around the side aisles, and the pinnacles connected therewith. • The grading of the sur­ rounding land will be the last piece of labor, and that will not involve much cost. Standing within the main aisle of the cathedral, the impression it gives is one of harmonious vastness. The great clustering pillars, larger than those of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, have nothing like an appearance of bulk or heaviness as the pillars of Notre Dame have. They do not seem in the least to interfere with the view, and, though each section of a pillar weighs eight tons, they look as light and grace­ ful in the coup-d'aeil as so many single slender columns of about twelve inches in diameter. The whole interior at the present mo­ ment is covered with scaffolding which, at the extreme elevation of the ceiling, resembles a spider's web, so great is the height of the roof from the ground floor. The plastering appears to have been almost entirely done, and the col­ oring of the ceiling, intended to give it the appearance of stone, was the only work going on in the afternoon of yes­ terday. It has a triforium like Notre Dame away near the spring of the roof, but it is hardly likely it will ever be used in these modern days for the same purposes it was intended in the early time of Gothic ecclesiastical architect­ ure. There will be at least ten side chapels, and the main altar will have a space around it, giving ample room for large and impressive effects in the mat­ ter of decoration. The Cathedral of Notre Dame in Mon­ treal and the celebrated cathedral in Mexico have hitherto put in rival claims for pre-eminence as ecclesiastical struct­ ures on the continent of America; but, though each in its way is vast and im­ posing, neither can attempt to compare in beauty of material and design with that on Fifth avenue. The raising of this temple to the wor­ ship of God has been, like most efforts in the same line of the Catholics in this country, slow and painful, but bound, as it would seem, to be solid and suc­ cessful. The money has come in in a rather sluggish stream, but none the less surely, and the cathedral will inev­ itably be finished and prove the greatest ornament of the city. The cathedral has so far cost about $1,500,000. A vast amount of brick­ work has been done in its construction, but not a trace of it is visible to the eye. The foundation-stone was laid by Arch­ bishop Hughes, in the summer of 1868. The towers are at present raised 150 feet to the base of the spues, which will as­ cend. 285 feet higher.--New York Her• aid. ' A Woman's Spite, One of the queerest i<:»r«-yestfttion8 of feminine rancor that we have heard of lately is reported from Rochester. A married woman named Maggie Connors announced to a policeman that she was about to steal a pair of shoes in order to be sent to the penitentiary. He endeav­ ored to dissuade her, but she carried out her intention by pilfering from a store a pair of rubber over-shoes. With this trophy in her possession Maggie made her appearance at the police office and entered a complaint against herself. Re­ monstrance was useless. She declared that if not convicted and sent up she would commit some other crime. So a fine of $10 was imposed, with the alter­ native of sixty days in the penitentiary. And then the motive for this strange performance came to light. Tne woman had been quarreling with her husband and chose this method of wreaking venge­ ance upon him. It is to be hoped that Mr. Connors will refuse to pay the fine, and let his ingenious spouse serve out her sixty days at hard labor.--Troy Times. .

If yon want to buy a dog the follow­ ing piece of information may prove of service : The way to tell the age of a dog approximately is to examine the up­ per front teeth. Until eighteen months old these are rounded on the edge; at the end of two years they begin to square off, and gradually wear down and shorten, until, when the animal has entered the sixth year, they are nearly even with the gums. The appearance of the eye is also an indication of age, and all dark-colored dogs show their years by the growth of white hairs about the muzzle.

Searles, WE paid a short visit to Hanley & Sons Mill, on Saturday last, aud found that they were making several new improvements in order to keep1 up with the times and supply the de­ mands of their many customers. They certainly have a neatly arranged and model Mill, and are sparing ne expense te bring their Flour up to a standard equal to the best. They are now mak­ ing what is called the "New Process Flour,"n which differs from the Patent Flour from the fact that it contains all ef the good of the wheat, giving a rich and splendid looking Flour that is pro­ nounced by those who have used It to be A No.l. They have also put in a new machine called a "Hackwheat "Rubber," through which Buckwheat and also Wheat is run, which scours it as clean of all dirt and dust as though it had been washed. This of course also adds to the put^ness of the Flour. They also have a new corn sheller that will shell csrsi as fast as r. man oan shovel it in. Among the ether im­ provements they have widened theft Head Race, which gives them plenty of power to run their Mill to its fullest capacity. As we said before they hav# a model Mill, aud are doing a custom' aud Flouring business satisfactory alike to themselves and their custom­ ers. SEVERAL hogs having died in this section of late of what has been called hog cholera, it was thought best to dissect one and see if by finding the cause a cure or a pteveutativc might not be suggested. Qn opening the hog it was found that the trouble was in the lungs, presenting the appearance of what might more properly be called iutluuiatiou ef the lungs, inflamed, ul­ cerated, Ac. Now we see no reason why this should be called cholera. We heard it intiutioued as a reasonable the­ ory that where a lurge number of hogs were in the pen at uight they naturally crowd together very close when they lay dowu, thereby becoming very warm, aud in the jaorninggoing into the yard rooting a hole in tiie frozen ground lay down aud take cold, causing this diffi­ culty of the lungs. If this is the true theory, by giving them plenty of good clean straw aud a warm pen the diffi­ culty might be remedied. That the weather has a good deal to do with the disease there is no deubt, and now that its location and nature has been, determined it is reasonable to suppose that some remedy can bo found. Whether it be called Cholera or some­ thing else it makes little difference. The rouiedy is the all important {thing. WOODSTOCK.

Many will miss the good old mau, and none more than the little childreo whom he used to call to see duriug the summer, carrying a pocket of goodies for his grand childreu. an he called them, and they naturally, called him graudpa. John Galice. who has been living since the year *43, ou a fsirm two and a half miles north west of this city, died at his residence Tuesday last. Last week there was a reading at the Presbyterian church, which was well attended. The reader, Miss Couthoul, is a young lady of seventeen years though appearing older. Her appearance on the stage, was very graceful and she seemed perfectly self- posessed. She is rather short of statue, her fake is round, and her hair brown and curly, Sbe was dressed tastefully aud richly, her curly hair being fasten «d artistically by a knot of ribbon; the skirt of her dress cream colored silk, trimmed with a deep flounce of royal purple velvet and the polanalse made iri Breton style, there being a I rout piece, sleeves and a wide sash of the velvet. A pair of Ave button white kids completed her elegant toilet. She reudered her comic pieces iu a credita­ ble manner. ' " General Judson KillppUrick will lect­ ure at (he M.

The noble Red Masr lounged about while the womenjri^egged at the different dwolling houses. They expected not only moiJTy. but quilts, apples and nu­ merous Vher things.

On Monday of last week the First National I$ink of this place, paid out for hogs f)n the checks of buyers' Thirty-ninfe hundred dollars. Monday night, four car loads left here and there was still two car loads left, ship­ pers not being aide to procure cars in which to send them forward. Our heg raisers fe^l somewhat discouraged, and seek in various, ways to explain the low prices prevailing. One astute reasoner was of the opinion that it was owing to the hjsvoc made by the Russians in Asia aiiji Bulgaria, biit when it was suggested that a Turkish Mohemadaa •r a Bulgarian Jew ate uo more pork when living than when dead, he aban­ doned that theory and insited that "he had aljvays known aud maintained that the 8 to 7 commission was devised and brought into existance for the sole pur* pose of destroying the agricultural industries of the West in the Interest of eastern capitalist, aud now "said lie triumphantly see the effect" The yote of a Negro in South Cat oil ua or Louis­ iana is worth no more than that of a white man in Illinois; In fact it is ne longer a inercbantable article, conse­ quently the gaiu or the income of the colored man is lessened, and he is per­ force compelled to do with less of those things which is the joy and de­ light of Xe^ro man, woman and pick- aniLy, that is a mighty smart chance of Corn Dodger with plenty of gravy, and fat bacon. Hence the fallowing off in the demand, and the low prices Aud as the aggrieved old man turned to go he said, in the most emphatic sianuer "we tiiunt have a change of ad­ ministration," and added Ino sorrowful voice, "O Lard!
