AGRICULTURE. WILL IT PAY TO STEAM FODDER? —Tak- ing the word fodder in its broadest sense, us any kind cf food for gramniverous ani mals, we may say in at it will always pay to steam or cook feed for swine, and often for cows in stables containing 25 head or more, while for sheep and horses it will lie of doubtful expediency, and usually not advisable under any circumstances. The cooking of feed for fattening swine is im portant as a matter of economy, that it will pay, even though done with little re gard to the saving of labor and fuel. On the other baud, to cook the feed for neat cattle with profit, not oniy shou'd there be animals enough to make it pay,but the ra tions should be so carefully plauued, that thai by mingling of palatable, with less relished and coarse fodder, a saving may be effected in that way. Besides toe ob ject tor which the cattle are kept is an im portant factor to be considered in the feed ing. The flow of milk is increased by steam ing the lodder —the color of the butter is, however, injured. The same ration will prove more fattening, while, at the same time: there will be little or no waste, if the steaming is well mauaged. It is best to have the steamed ration composed of a variety of feed, such as corn fodder, roots, hay, or oat straw, with brau aud com meal, or cotton seed, or linseed cake, or meal. The substitution of one kind of fodder or meal for another, gives variety and relish. The coarse fodder is cooked soft, and the flavor of the roots and of the meal pervades the mass, It is not likely that any of the small agricultural steamers can De made to economieally cook the food for as many as 25 or SO head of cattle. When a boiler ol several horse power is employed to do other work, as pumping, thrashing, sawiug wood, grinding, cutting hay, and corn fodder, etc., steam may be economically used forcookiug fodder. Of this there can be little doubt. The steam box in which Ihe fodder is placed for cook ng, if it is big enough, need uot be tilled cltener than twice a week, aud if. as already intimated, every pains is taken iu the operation to save in the items of labor aud luel, steaming fodder for cattle will l>e profitable. GROWING YOUNG STOCK.—The most appropriate food for all kinds of young slock is the mother's milk, and so soon as the young things can be induced to eat, other feed, grass, etc., they should be sup plied with gtound feed, shelled corn, hay, grass and any other such feed, which being fed with the dam's miik, makes the most satisfactory growth. The milk materially aids digestion, and thus it is th it the lar ger quantity of food is consumed, which, with the milk, makes the finest possible growl hof flesh, bone and muscle. It was this nnlk and shelled corn that made the famous big steer in Missouri out of the scrub calf, and had that calf beeu a good high grade still better results would have been obtained with the milk feed and care of that calf. Good blood is important for the 1 est results. Never use any other than lull-blood sires should be the motto of every farmer. Then, with good stock,the judicious care and treatment from the very first wtek of birth will bring satisfactory results in dollars and cents. £The young farmer and stock raiser will find that successful treatment ot young animals to secure health, thrift and vigor is the ait that can haruly be too diligently investigated. The money value of stock, or the prout in raising stock, depends on knowing how to do it economically. Eco nomy does not consist in cneap food, but in such as the animal, whatever its kind; will readily assimilate, and will give the l>est returns in desirable growth, If the food is not right, no excess of quantity will make up for its deficiency in quality. Wa ter is indispensable and should be pure; impure and stagnant water ought not to be tolerated. The first few months of an animal's life are the most important period in its existence to its owner. It it is ne glected and stunted, no subsequent treat ment can make good the injury done ex cept at a exist that lepresents no inconsider able extra sacrifice of time, care and money. To get early lambs the rams should be placed with ewe during the month of No vember. Where only one ram is used he should be taken out of the flock every evening and given a good grain feed of say a pint of oats and corn mixed, and put in a dry,comfortable place by himself tor the night and have another feed of grain before being put with the flock next morning. If two rams are used they can be put into the flock alternate days, giving each one a rest every alternate day. Where it is in convenient to take the ram out of the flock lie should be fed grain in a little box in the pasture, the attendant coaxing him up to his feed until he understands what he is to expect, and then staying with him uutii he has finished, his grain. HAWKS and owls prey upon rats, mice and other small animals, thereby keeping them in check; while the crew prefers grubs, cutworms and carrion to any kind of food, and while they may occasionally rob a bird's nest or pull up a little corn, they do a thousaad acts of kindness to the farmer for every one that is injurious. So sayß the SUN, and there is a great deal of truth m it. PEACH trees should have a mulch around the base and under the branches. In the spring peach trees should be well cultivated, and during the summer they should be cultivated nearly the same as corn. With good treatment the trees will live to double the age of those neglected. Mineral fertilizers show good results when applied to them. THERE is at present iB a fence on the farm of Mr. David Rutt, m West Donegal township, a locust post that has the date 1781 cut in it. and was no doubt made in that year. Mr. Rutt's father, who was a a very old man, discovered the post when he was a small boy. It is well preserved, considering that it is over a century old. FARMERS generally lay out too much work for the help they employ. Tne best rule is not to attempt the cultivation of large areas, but to make the land produce the largest yields. If one acre of ground can be made to produce fifty bushels of wheat, that is far better than to appropri ate two or three or lour acres in the pro duction of the same quantities. I'OLLTRY manure is nearly equal to gua no, and the value of the quantity annually derived from a single fowl is about fifty cents, fully one-half the cost of the feed. Five hens will make about one barrel of manure, and on farms where large number of poultry are kept the importance of this fact should not be overlooked.Every ouuee should be saved. POTATOES, when dug in an unnpe state, may l>e at times watery and not lit to eat, but if spread as thinly as possible in a dry, airy place, they will m time become as mealy as if left to ripen on the ground. TOADS are valuable :n a garden, but de structive in au apiary, as they devour the bres. DOMESTIC. ORIENTAL embroidery oil thin muslm is readily imitated at liomo by the use of pearl and irridescent beads and vel vet and plush leaves. The raised ap pearance of flowers, whether tliey are in beads or in embroidery, is gained by padding. Cotton wool is first sewn very lirmly upon the outlined design, and then the beads are threaded in the numbers necessary and laid over the padding, always being placed in one di restion. Generally, in reproducing a flower in beads the center will be a pearl or cluster of smaller beads to rep resent the laiaed center of the natural flower. Drawn work is rapidly becom ing more and more fashionable. It is trying to the eyes but so fascinating that ambitious workers are always elab orating designs in it. It consists ol drawing out the threads of flue linen filling in the spaces thus obtained by stitolias of every variety. Recently, decoration for towels and napkins has taken this form : Tue threads are drawn out at regular intervals, and then a design is worked in the interstice in colored threads, either in herring-bone, button-hole or chain stitch, or by simply overcasting. The most fascinating ba by blankets are made now in flue Sax ony flannel, embroidered iu raised des igns of flowers and birds. The angels' heads which wore so fashionable last year are scarcely seen ; they are re placed by a double bordering of deli cately tinted blossoms, one end being folded over and worked in such away that it can be placed outside the cover let, The latest style ol all adds a mono gram in the center. Gold embroidery can never be satisfacteily carried out upon the material to be decorated. The best and safest way is to work the des ign upon linen or crash and then cut it out and applique it on the surface upon which it is required. CLEANING CARPETS. —In all our own experiments we have found nothing so saie and serviceable as bran slightly moistened, only very slightly, just suffi cient to hold the particles together, In this case it is not necessary to stop and clean the broom every few minutes. Sw eepiug the carpet after the bran has been sprinkled over it not only cleans the carpet and gathers all the dirt into the bran, but keeps the broom clean at tne same time, It too much dampened, aside from injuring the carpet, it makes the work harder, beeause the bran be comes very heavy it very damp. The bran should be sifted evenly over the floor, and then the room swept as usual. The bran scours and cleanses the whole labric, very little dust is made whiie sweeping with it, and scarcely any set tles on furniture, pictures, etc., after the work is accomplished, because every particle of Girt, threat!, bite of paper, or lint is gathered up iqto the mass of bran that is being moved over the floor, and so thoroughly incorporated with it that it will not be easily separated. Carets swept in this way retain very little dust as will be plainly demonstrated when ever they are taken up to be shaken. HEAD CHEESE.— CIean the legs nicely and ooil by tut-niselves, so that when done there will be plenty of the liquor. Boil the upper head, minus ears, eyes and nose, with considerable lean meat, tenderloin is best, and when done re move bones and skin from head and legs; ehop the lean; salt and pepper to suit taste; add the liquor the legs were boil ed in, and last, but not least, a teacup ful of vinegar and a teacnpiul of catsup to every gallon. When thoroughly cold it can be cut out in slices. CREAM OYSTERS. —Fifty shelled oys ters, one quart ot sweet cream, butter, salt and pepper to taste. Put the oreaui and oysters in separate kettles to heat, the oysters in their own liquor, and let them come to a boil; when sufficiently cooked, skim; take them out of the liq uor and put them into some dish to keep warm. Put the cream and liquor to gether, Season to taste and thicken with powdered crackers. W hen thick, stir in the oysters. ArrnE MINCE PIE, —Two pounds of apples pared and chopped, three-fourth* pound ot beef suet, one of currants; one-half raisins seeded and chopped; one-half sultana raisins, one-quarter citron cut in shreds, one tablespoonfnl cinnamon, one teaspoonful cloves, one of mace, one tablespoonful allspice, two pounds of brown sugar, half pint best brandy, a glass of wine, two teaspoon fuls of salt. TOAST. —To prepare toast suitable for invalids, cut stale bread in slices half au inch thick, aud trim off the crust; then hold it far enough away from the tire to dry it before browning it; it sliould be of a delicate brown color and quite dry in the middle of the slice; in this condition it is more easily digested than when made so quickly that the moisture of the bread remains in it. GERMAN PUFFS. —HaIf pmt milk, five eggs, two large spoons of flour, two ounces butter; bake in small tins or cups; till them half full; they require a quick oven; a few minutes will bake them; to be eaten as soon as they are out of the cups, as they will fall if allowed to cool. To make good starch, mix with cold water and add boiling water until it thickens; then add a dessertspoon of sugar and a small piece of butter. This makes a stiff and glossy finish, equal to new. DRESSING FOR POULTRY. —Place in a pan a small loaf of baker's bread, one half cup of butter, the yolks of four eggs, pepper, salt, a little summer sav ory and two onions sliced and fried brown; pour over boiling water enough to wet it thoroughly, then mix. To make pastry flaky mix it two or three days before using and place in a very cold place. It can be kept a week or ten days with good result. To clean copper tea-kettle, use turpen tine and fine brick dust, and rub hard with flannel, and polish with leather and dry brick d ust. To destroy red ants, put a pint of tar in an earthen vessel and pour over it two quarts of boiling water and put in the closet. AFTER washing cut-glass articles let them dry thoroughly and then rub with prepared chalk and a soft brush. MACHINE grease may be removed from wash goods by dipping the fabric in cold rain water and soda. To temper a glass jar so that it can be at once filled with anything hot, put into it a silver spoon. To clean willow furniture use salt and water, and apply with a coarse brush and dry thoroughly. SELECT the finest tubers when harvest ing the crops and put ihern aside for next spring's planting. Following this rule lor a few seasons will produce a great improvement iu the quality of your pota toes. HUMOROUS. A COOLNESS has arisen between Kosci usko Murphy and Mrs. Hufnagel, one of the most fashionable ladies of Austin. There was a lawn party at the Hufnagel mausiou. Mrs Hufnagel showed Mr. Murphy over the grounds, and asked him what he thought of their arrange ment. "I am delighted, madam," was the reply. ''Wherever 1 look I see the footpriuts of your genius." As Mrs. Hnfuagel has a foot almost ns big as a wheelbarrow, she supposed there was something personal in the remark. She did not liiut exactly that she was not glad to have liim stay for slipper, but she opeued the gate and pointed into the street, and Murphy, who is very sensitive, strolled away. At ft nan Time.

A CLERGYMAN was once sent for in the middle of the night by one oi the ladies of his congregation. "Well, my poor woman," said he, "so you are very ill and require the consolations of religion?" "No," replied the old lady. "I am only nervous and can't sleep." "How can I help that?" asked the parson. "Oil, sir, yon always put me to sleep so nicely when I go to Church, that I thought if you would preach a little for me." The parson made tracks. Riches ID llup Farmlu;.

Don't buy or use worthless stuff or imitations because the price is less, AT a party the other evening tne sub ject of faith was mentioned, when one young lady remarked, in the language of Paul, "Now, faith Is the suhstauce of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. ' Whereupon a gentle man inquired, "Where is that quotation from?'' "Why, it'* from Shakespeare," jokingly replied the young laJy. "IH that so?" said the young man; "why I thought it was from Byron." His next Christmas present will be a copy of the New Testament revised edition. A >o. l>yo(l Kelp. Dr. M. H.
