'mm . JFAMM AND HOMB. y »*A* ' "I •--** _____ v<4; •..•;Cf ^Shigiaiid forty bush«ij «J# %h^«t per acre is not an unusual yield, and fifty or sixty bushels per ficre is often realized as the result of Mgh farming. Nevertheless, England is obliged to im­ port each year about 100,000,000 bushels, in addition to her own crop, to feed her people. • Nothing will more impair next year's crop of hay than overstocking the meadows in the fall. Innumerable hoofs beat down and loosen the exposed roots of the aftermath, and the severe frosts, ever active agents of destruc­ tion to the interests of the farmer, will kill much more grain in the winter than if the land was otherwise managed now. Whxhkvxb horses and cows are al­ lowed a large range of fertile feed all at once, it is the nature of the animal not to go quietly to feeding, but to run all over the inclosure, examine the bound­ aries, snatch a. mouthful of feed now and then aI they run, and finally to come to the yard at night, tired, over­ full, having trampled down three times as much as they have eaten. Thk German town Telegraph says: "A correspondent asks why it is that the short-horn cattle are losing ground and others are taking their place. He" says as 'milkers or for the shambles they have no equals.' That may be so. But opinions and tastes vary. The milk of the short-horn is nbt to com­ pare to that of either the Alderney, the Jersey or Guernsey in point of richness. But for quantity it goes ahead of per­ haps all others. Its beef is unsurpassed. For working oxen the Devons are the best. Bat there is good 'and the best' of every kind, just as it may be people's interest or choice to decide.", To Make Butter Hard.--An En­ glish butter maker of large experience, who is pow on a visit to this co^itty for the purpose of looking over our cheese and butter dairies, gives us the follow­ ing information concerning a method in practice among the best butter makers ffot England for rendering butter firm and solid during hot weather: Car­ bonate of soda and alupa are made into powder. For twenty pounds of butter, one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda and one teaspoonful of alum are min­ gled together at the time of churning and put into the cream. The effect of this powder is to make the butter come firm and solid, and to give it a clean, sweet flavor. It does not enter into the butter, but its action is upon the cream, and it passes off with the buttermilk. The ingredients of the powder should not be mingled together until required to be used, or at the time the cream is in the churn ready for churning.-- Farmers' Un^on. Killing Gut-Worms.--If the sod is turned early, say in February or March, let it stand until just before planting time, when it Will have a good coat of green vegetation, which, turned under, will afford sufficient food for some time; and, by the time the corn makes its ap­ pearance, many of the worms will have become grown, and have left. They usually leave with the advent of warm weather. As a general thing they do but little damage, tor they seldom cut a plant down below the bud, and it readily comes up again, and soon gets strong enough to withstand their ravages until hot weather. Your correspondent is mistaken, I think, when he says that, by plowing early in the spring so that the ground freshly turned would freeze, he killed the worms. I have never ex­ perienced any benefit from this mode. In fact, I believe freezing will kill few, if any, grubs already in a torpid state.-- Cor. Cpuntry Gentleman. Fbuit and Vegetables in Winter. A* frost-proof house may easily and iheaply be made by making the walls ouble of board^ and filling in between ith some sawduSt or spent tan bark, ut the boards on jointed closely, ongued and grooved is best, inside and ut, and especially on the outside, nail- ng on to two. by six inch studding. ake the double^ sash and glass, fitting lightly, and put in a double door--that one inside and' one outside of the all. The ceiling must also be double nd filled in with the same material, he )^oor mpy be ground, or, what is etter, made with gravel and cement, he earth should be thrown up around he building, and drainage given to rry away the water that falls. A house ight or ten feet square, seven or eight eet high inside, with shelves all around hold fruit and vegetables, would be a [uxury. It will keep the frost out in inter, and be cool in the summer.-- ndiana Farmer. Domestic Economy. Plotc Cheese.--Boil plums in suffi­ cient water to prevent burning; then lash and strain; to every pound of j>ulp add half a pound of clear brown [agar, cook as you would fim, stirring prevent burning. It can be cut in lices, and is a nice addition for luncji. For a Bread Omelet.--Put into » ew-pan a teacupful of bread crumbs, |ne te;cupful ofWtoaax, one table-spoon-. ful of butter, with salt, pepper and nut­ meg; when the bread has absorbed the cream, work ib two beaten eggs; beat them a little whh the mixture; fty & an omelet-pan and roll up. Potato Cases.--Take potatoes- mashed ones are brat, but boiled ones can be mashed--immediately after din­ ner, before getting too cold; add about an equal amount of flour and a small piece of butter or lard; rub thoroughly together, roll out and cut as for biscuit --not too thick--and bake in a rather quick oven. When done to light brown, out open, butter and eat warm. Tapioca Cream.--Soak three luge table-spoonfuls of tapioca over night in one pint of water; the next morning add one quart oI milk and boil; a little salt, four eggs, one oup of sugar; flavor with lemon or vanilla; beat white of eggs to a stiff froth, and brown in shape of eggs; put on top of the pudding when it is cold. Breaded Eggs.--Take one pint of bread crumbs and soak in one pint of milk. Beat eight ^jjgs very light and stir with the soaked crumbs, beating five minutes. Have ready a saucepan in which are two table-spoonfuls of butter, thoroughly hot, but not scorching; pour in the mixture and sprinkle with pepper. To Broil Oysters.--Use a double gridiron that folds together; grease the bars, which prevents sticking, then dip each oyster into melted butter, place them on the iron enough to cover it, have a brisk fire and broil; constantly baste with butter; when done, serve on very hot toast <jn hot dishes. Use no cracker or crumbs of any kind. * Snow Pudding.--Soak half a box of gelatine in a teacup of cold water, pour on it one pint of boiling water; set in a cool place, but do not let it harden. B^t the whites of three eggs, to which add\three cups of sugar an£ the juice of two/lemons; mix with the gelatine and pour into molds to harden; serve with cream. Graham Gems.--These must be baked in iron pans, each little pan partitioned by itself, as they will not rise if baked in a mass. Bemove the cream from sweet milk, and for a sufficient quantity for two pans add one egg and salt; stir in the flour slowly until somewhat thicker than pancake batter; beat thor­ oughly, as it Will add to their lightness; have the oven very hot, as they must bake in fifteen or twenty minutes, or they will not be light; place the pans on the stove, and, when hot, butter, and with the spoon drop each little pan full; place immediately in the oven. Carry to table hot. Cold gems steamed or warmed are nearly as good as when fresh. They should be on every table, for even dyspeptics can eat them with impunity. GIVING THANKS. Thanksgiving day is a peculiarly American festival. The colonists brought over to this country with them a number of English, Dutch and French holidays and festivals--Christmas, New Years, Hallow eve, Easter day, May day, various saints' days--and all con­ tinue to have more or less observance in different parts of the country. These we have inherited from "the old coun­ try," btit Thanksgiving day is our own. It is purely American. It dates from the early settlement of New England. It had its origin in times of hardship and suffering and among a people who, under all circumstances, even the moat unpropitious, were taught to find some­ thing still in their lives for which to thank the Giver of all good. The grim old Puritan deacon who, in a time of famine, invited his friend to dine on a dish of clams, flanked by empty plates, and began the meal by offering "thanks to God for the bounty of the seas, of which He hath provided for our susten­ ance and refreshment," spoke and thought in the devout spirit which still characterizes the day, and though we, the more fortunate descendants of those earlier and poverty-stricken days, some­ times nususe our^bundance to the get­ ting of an indigestion, the day is still one of thanks as well as feasting--one on which Americans are accustomed to survey their lives and to speak out their gratitude to God. "It is a good thing to give thanks un­ to the Lord," says the Psalmist. It is a pleasant and a useful custom by which on one day in the year we join in a gen­ eral, a national act of gratitude. It will be well if for one day we can turn from the turmoil of politics, from the schem­ ing and self-seeking of politicians, from the cares of business and the anxieties of daily life, and, whether in church or at home, review our lives, the events of the past year, the joys and sorrows, anx­ ieties, satisfactions and disappointments, and, so reviewing, lift up our hearts in gratitude to God. Randolph Haiser is a new Boston billiard prodigy. He makes runs of 30ft to 700 easily at the three-ball game, and has counted eighty-two without go­ ing to the rail. An Arkansas constable's pistol being" stolen, he advertised that if the thief would return it he would give him the contend and no questions ^ THE DIARY. By the way, did you know that, for the past eight months, your wife has been using the diary you started in Jan­ uary for an account-book with the gro­ cer and butcher? We saw it the other day, and right under the last paragraph you wrote in it, where you said; "I feel a lifting of my being into a higher life, I feel my feet stepping upon a higher plane, the soul of poesy is calling me into a sphere of grander action, and I throw off the trammels and the coarse­ ness of everyday material life and its animal existence, as I rise to obey the call of genius"--right under that it says: "Two pounds of mutton suet, half a calf s liver, a piece of • bone to boil, and a pound of link sausage, 46 Burdette. Walter Wilcox, the 5-year old who started alone on a journey from New Orleans to Oakland, CaL, had, at last ac­ counts, safely reached Sacramento. He was provided at the outset with a through ticket, and a letter explaining that, his parents having died of yellow fever, he was on his way to his grand­ mother in Oakland. The little fellow was commended to the caro of conduct­ ors and Free Masons along the route, and has received kind attention. In Chicago he was petted by women, and his comfort has been fully attended to. Til Bisl iiricfflinl Pijtr cup Ensues Mori. W HKI# A FARMER MONEY BY FARTSftffi 18.

A Problem Umg Sinee Solwd. < How to remedy those prolific causes of dis­ ease, an impoTerfehecl circulation and an im­ paired digestion, was a problem the solution of which had often baffled medical skill, but which was salved over a quarter of a century a^o by the introduction of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to public and professional notice. Since that time, which may weil be said to have initiated a new epoch in the history of medicine, the remedy and preventive referred to has obtained a foothold in the confidence of the American people that each succeeding year has only served to strengthen. It is recognized through ­ out the Union as a tonic of the first order, a remedy for and sure means of preventing fever and ague, and disorders of the stomach and b.wels; as a reliable means of reforming a dis­ ordered state of the liver, and of counteracting a tendency to rheumatism, gout, urinary and uterine disorders. Stop Drinking Vinegar. How many young women who have inherited, a predisposition to embonpoint have rained their health by drinking vinegar to reduce their forms to graceful proportions. Allan's Anti- Fat is absolutely harmless. It promotes di­ gestion, and accomplishes its work simply by preventing an undue assimilation of the fatty logrodieuta of the food. Excessive fatness is a vexatkma burden, and thero is no longer any exeunu for scdurisg it, «m<» Allan's Anti-Fat is ah effectual remedy for this abnormal condi­ tion.
