AGRICULTURE, PASTURE. —It is amazing bow slowly belter methods ot farming are carried into effect, After all the discussion upon the value of the pasture and the best methods ot management, during the past ten years, one may ride upon the cars for a hundred unles and scarcely see a pasture with full leed. In nearly every field the cattle are wauderibg about to pick up the crumbs, are looking wishfully towards the ""corn fields, and in places are commencing to eat into the hay and the straw stacks. Un der proper management stock should do belter in October and November than in July and August. The flies are gone,cool westher has sharpened the appetite, and the tendency of the animal is to store for winter. Every consideration of thrift de mands that the best ot alteutiou be given tbe stock at this time. What is meant by a good fall pasture? Possibly some fanners never saw one. It means a pasture that has, on the first day ol October, at least one ton of blue grass, clover and timothy per acre, and can be secured on rich land by removing all stock after July 15th, and, on poorer laud, after June loth. Generally it is better to remove the stock by middle of June. Farmers may say, "We cannot afford to let our laud lie idle through tbe summer." There is no loss by so doing, but a great gain. Laud treated in this way produces much more grass during the season than when deuud ed during the heat of summer. The well known farmer, Bobert Miller, of West Liberty, In a recent convetsation, claimed that it was a good plau to allow a pasture to remain ungraded during au entire season once m lour or five years, aud gave au in stance in his experience to prove it. In case separate pastures cau not be provided the next best thing is t:> graze only about two-thirds the customary stock. Aliow the grass in the lore part of the season to grow faster than the stock can eat it. in such cases a portion ot the tieid will be kept short and ihe other allowed to grow. It August aud September be dry, as in the preseut year, the abundauce of grass will protect tbe roots auu main tain a continuous growth, securing thrift to the herd. Ot course this is uot quite equal to separate pastures, tor a poi ticn of the held will be eaten closely, to its detriment. Under this more caret ol treatment pastures continue to produce more every year. Another important consideration. As now grazed the surface at the soil becomes ury and hard, the variety of grasses is greatly diminished and the quality of sue as remain is inieiior. They oecouie stin led and hard and by no means the same luscious grass the cattle formerly devout ed so greedily. THE purpose in straining milk is to make it cleaner lhau it was before straining, but the object is ofien poorly accomplished. In private dairies this work is usually bet ter pel formed than when it goes to iactoi ies. When a large number of persons are all putting milk into one common re servoir the weight of personal accounta bility loses much of Its force from the in creased difficulty of tracing home faults to their origin. On this accouut the patrons of factories sometimes omit entirely to strain milk at all at the farm. They leave ihis operation 'o be performed at the fac tory. Ail the hans and dust and dirt, and the crystallized acci niulauon from insen sible perspiration, which are all the time forming upon the udder, as well as the rest of the surface of cows, and whieh are always working off during the process 01 milking, and finding their way especially into broad-topped pails, remain in the w arm milk to soak ana become soluble by the tune the milk reaches the factory. Mo matter how neat the factory may be, ii cannot get out wiiat has been air ady dit to! ved by the agitation of the milk on its journey to the lactory, ofteu several milt 6 distant. WE know of no better way to preservt cabbages through the winter than that which we have recommended for a num ber ot years, it is to plant or set them up in rows as they grow—that is, with the routs dowD —till in with soil pretty freely, ihen make a covering by planting two where then; is a fence to rest on, or tour where there is not allowing for a pitch to carry oil the water, lay beau peles opposite the way of the pitch and cover with cornfodder and straw or boards. In using through the wiater avoid, as much as possible, the fcunaide,and close up again. We have not found that setting the cab bage upside-down in the rows, ss mauy do, t& of any advantage, as we have kept ours tor more than twenty years in the same way we mention, in a sound, perfeci condition through the winter into spring, and even up to the first of May if desira bie. We see other methods rtcommeuded and tin y may answer just as well.but as to our own we speak trom a long experience HKEVES. —In feeding for Deef,the notions of each animal should be consulted—his preferences, likes and dislikes. The object of feeding usually is to get the animal to eat all that t.e will digest well; hence a va riety should always be at haud, and the ration varied by feeding cooked, soaked 01 dry meal, as the case may be. with ha> and roots. Take great care cot to over-sec; and in case of over-feediug, let starvation be the cure. Thus the animal will soon take to feeding again, but will be less like ly to fall off umoh iii flesh, than if phy sicked. .Nature is the best physician. FAPMKRS iu the United States have $12,- 210,253,316 of capital invested in their bu siness. Or this amount tbe value of farms is placed at $10,196 899 645: farm imple ments at $4(8.4!6 902: live stock, $500,- 832.317; fertilizers, $28,587,856, and len oes, $79,765,720. From this enormous sum it is estimated that nearly $100,000,- 000 is 8-nnuaiiy collected m taxation tor the support of the local and National G >v ernments and purposes ot education. The total contribution or production to be cre dited to the farmer foots up in icund numbers to $2,500/000,000. FOR several after a farmer began rais wheat he could not get the yield higher than twenty three bushels per acre, although the land was rich enough to raise large crops of grass, corn and potatoes. The wheat was top dressed with rotten manure but still the yield was no greater. Then the two-horse sulky cultivators came aroun J. He bought one and used it free ly in connection with the harrow and rol ler, and the next year, without any ma nure, his wheat yield lumped up leu bushtls per acre. OP the different races of the honey bee the German, or black bee is the most nu merous, though it is not older than the Italians, which were known to the ancients several hundred years before the Christian era, and are mentioned by Aristotle and Virgii The Egyptian, Caraiolan, Cypri an, and Javan bees are but little known in this country, the Italian being the favor'te because of its docility, activity and capti vating beauty. A FARCE seeing man: One who be lieves that life is only folly. DOMESTIC. PROCESS FOR DOINO SHIRTS.— On wash day when you are ready to hang up the shirts make some good hot starch, not thick, and drop a small piece of sper maceti in while it boils and nib the starch in good. Let them get perfectly dry and starch them iu oold starch. Then let them lie about two hours be fore ironing. You must have two boards, one with something soft wraped aiound and another hard board with a thin piece of muslin tacked on tight. Then you need a polishing iron, which can tie had by taking a three-pound iron to the blacksmith and have him grind the heel off. Put some white wax m under a piece of thick letter paper on a small board and nib the iron on that. At tor you have ironed the shirt as nicely as you can on the regular bosom board, then you take the hard board and put the bosom ou it. Then dip a coarse cloth in oold water aud wriug it out dry and rub all over the b<*om lightly. Take your jHilishing iron and rubbing it tlrst over the waxed paper then over a cloth, iron crosswise of the bosom with the heel. Iron the collars and cuffs the same way. All this takes time to tell and time to fix at first, but it will last a long time if you fix things good, a year at least. How TO MAKE ROSE WATER.—Who ever possesses plenty of roses can make this perfume at slight expense, (lather the roses while free from dew, and put them into a two gallon glass jar. Then take a two-ouuee bottle aud put it iu the mouth of the jar, so that it will tit close ly, aud cut some picoes of perfectly cleau sponge (that has been boiled to free it from sand ami grit) into narrow strips, and soak them in the purest olive oil or Lucca oil. Cottonseed oil will do if free from any odor. The oil must be perfectly sweet and fresh or it will spoil the perfume. Place the sponge inside the vial, aud tun it upside down iu the mouth of jar, and put it 111 the hottest sunshine for four or five days. The heat will distil the rose leaves, aud the aroma will rise and saturate the oil in the sponge. Throw away the leaves when they are dry and fill the jar as long as the roees last, and when the bits of sponge are thoroughly saturated squeeze ont the oil, or you can leave them in the vial and keep it closely oorked. A drop or two of this oil will perfume several ounces of aloohcl. FROGS — The hind logs only are used. They are such a delicacy that it is a pity not to prepare them nicely ami serve them done to a turn, crisp, and hot, Throw them into slightly acidula ted salted boiling water and let them boil about three minutes. Then take them out and drain and dry them well. Season them with pepper and salt, roll them in cracker or bread crumbs, and then in beaten eggs, again in crumbs, and let them color nicely in boiling lard. The crumlw should lie removed from the bones before they are fried. Some times they are served with little paper frills curled round the bones, and they are generally arranged m a circle upon a hot platter surrounding green j>eas. THERE is likely to be a revolution in chinaware if a new process recently patented is successful. This is for print ing designs in colois upon china and glass, and it will lessen the expense of decorating china very considerably. The principle is the same as that of printing upon other materials, but hith erto painting upon china has been all done by hand, and has needed trained colorers as well as designers. By the new method the mast elaborate designs can be printed ofl" by young girls, and any number can be produced m fac simile. CORN AND TOMATOES. — One of my neighbors thinks that dried sweet corn is a poor dibh in comparisoH with salted corn. She cuts her corn from the cob and packs it 111 jars, a layer of salt on the bottom, on the top, and all the way through. When cooked first soak the salt out of the corn. She also finds to matoes very delicious, indeed, to fry them in slices in beef suet, pack them in jars aud till up with hot suet. In winter take out aud warm up— ripe to matoes, of course. THE common practice of having night lights in the bed-rooms of children of well-to-do parents is deprecated by Dr. Bakewell. He says that it has a most injurious effect upon the nervous system of young children. "Instead cf the peifect rest the optic nerves ought to have, and which nature provides for by darkness of the uight, these nerves are perpetually stimulated, and, of course, the brain and the rest of the nervous system suffer. Children thus brought up are excessively timid for years after on going into the dark. To keep water lilies fresh for table decoration, place them, not in a vase, but in a wide bowl or dish, half fillet! with water. Cut away the stems until only two inches are left, arrange a few lily pads on the water surface, and let the lilies float on these as they do in their native ponds. Darkness closes their petals, so tliey should be kept in a bright place, where there is plenty of light. PICCALILLI.— One peck of green toma toes, one teacupful grated horseradish, four groen peppers sliced, six onions chopped fine, one pint of white mustard seed, one tablespoonful each of ground cloves and ground allspice, one cup of brown sugar, about three pints of vine gar, salt and pepper. Boil twenty min utes, and then add vinegar and a little chopped cabbage. THE best way to prepare a new iron kettle for use, is to fill it with clean potato peelings, boil them for an hour or more, then wash the kettle with hot water, wipe it dry and rub it with a lit tle lard; repeat the rubbing for half a dozen times alter using. In this way you will prevent rust and all the annoy ances liable to occur in the use of a new kettle. POTATOES warmed in this way are ex cellent for supper with cold meat: Put a lump of butter in a frying-pan, with half a cup of sweet cream, salt and pep per enough to season the potatoes, and a little parsley chopped fine. Take cold boiled potatoes and cut them in small pieces or in slices, and when the butter has melted stir them in. Let them heat gradually and boil for four or five minutes, and then serve. To PRESERVE SWEET CORN. —Boil the eorn on the ear from three to live min utes, then slice off, being careiul not to cut too close to the cob, pack down in a stone jar, allowing three pints of eorn to one pint of salt, put in, in layers. "When wanted for use, soak over night to freshen. Corn put up in this way late in the season will keep nice and fresh all winter. HUMOROUS. SHE couldn't resist that: There WNS no probability that she would rnairy him, this fair daughter of the South, with her haughty air" and classic Ten neßseean face, so she frankly told him so at onoe. "But hear me through," he passionately implored. "I have not enumerated all my claims upon your favorable consideration. This very afternoon I met Colonel Bungstarter on the street and shot him down in his tracks." "You are not deceiving u|e? ' asked the lovely creature, eagerly. you doubt me, hasten to the neighbor ing drug store. Four doctors are al ready there picking the buckshot out of him." "This is too heroic," cried the girl, with enthusiasm, and when she lilted her suuny curls from his shoulder five minutes later she had promised to wed him ere the crocuses bloomed again. \*They who cry loudest are not always the most hurt."
