RPFFVTEAK-HOW TO CUOOSE AND T
BELI 5 JJ O \ V T0 COOK IT.
Tbe Hearth and Home toy*: The sleak ;
u.oslfr considered tbe best ia cut from the •
loio, the place formerlj almost aniv* r nj
Uged for roasting, and called th sirioin. I ui ,
ia (he celebrated porter bouse steak. It has ;
the tenderloin, with its delicious *oft fat for j
: hose who lika the tender meat, and the sir j
loin, which is somewhat more highly flavored. ;
The porter house steak is belter thau the
tenderloin or fillet: the fatter >* *ery Under. :
but has not much flavor, and should be larded j
or served with some made sauce to be a good j
dish. The small sirloin steak is almost as
good as the porterhouse. A magnificent
steak, and one very seldom cut in tbu. coun- ,
try is from the rib. say tbe second cut ribs, j
which are usually counted the best roasUog
pieces. This steak, if properly cooked, can j
hardly be excelled by the best jorter house, i
It should be an axiom with aligned mar j
keters, that no steak can be properly evoked ;
that is less than an inch and a quaiter in j
thickness, and it is better an inch and a halt j
thick. j
To broil a good steak is easy, and at the j
same time it is difficult sometimes to make;
cooks appreciate tbe importance of minntise,
and to force them to discard certain old fash
ioned, mistaken notions. To one familiar
only with iberesnltsof culinary operations, it :
will teem almost preposterous to say that a
good steak should not be pounded: but is a
fact that implements have been devised and
constructed for that purpose alone. Do not
pound a good steak, but flatten it a iitlie with
the sides of the chopper, trim it properly,
prepare it carefully, and cook it rap idly.
Some epicures regard it as very important
to season the sleak before cooking U, while
others do not put anything upon it until it is
done. This question, about which there is
considerable difference of opinion, is of Utile
practical importance. If tbe meat be good,
it makes no difference when the steak is sal
ted and peppered.
To prepare the steak. ru'< in salt awl pep
per well wi-h tbe hand, and grease both sides
slightly with sweet lard or Ircah butter, tse
none of the strong butter of inferior qnality,
"ommoniy known as cooking butter. Ibe
steak thus prepared stouid then be placed
between the bars of a well wanned light grid
iron, so that it can be eanly turned over the
fire. The preparation of ihe tire is the most
important point of all. Tbe very best is a
clear fire of bright hickory coals. Jhe next
best is a charcoal fire; but a bright fire of or
dinary coal will broil pretty well. It is in
dispensable that the fire be hot and clear; and
there should be no smoke from dripping
gravy, which can easily be avoided with
proper care. Put the steak over the fire, and
turn often until done. When done, place it
upon a hot dish, sprinkle over it a littfe more
sail and pepper, spread over it a little sweet
batter, and let it be served and eaten imrne
diately. The difference in flavor between a
well cooked steak eaten immediately afrid one
served five minutes after it is done is euor
mona.
A great deal could be tai l about the c'r,, n
istry of such a steak as we hare just de-crib
ed. As far as tbe development of the aro
malic princinles nf the meat is concerned,
this dish is simply perfect. The bri-k heat
rapidly coagulates the tissue of the exterior,
and prevents the escape of the juices, while
frequent turning prevents the fibre from being
charred. The meat shoe ibe - ted entire
ly through, and the interior should be of a
uniform red color—never dark and raw.
When suc-h a steak is cut, if tbe raw material
is of the best quality, the dish will be inunda
ted with red gravy, which is the real ju'ce of
the moat. Such a d'sh is r.o' only most *a
* vn-y r- . a:
ge-tible. If physiciai w-.-.U seam to g -*e
meats prepared in thi> way to thrir ja
during convalescence more fr -ly than th-y
now do, recoveries from exhausting diseases
would be more rapid and Complete : and if
more attention were paid to the little roin
utia? of cooking, health and happiness would
be greatly promoted.
THE CLOVER AND LIME THEORY IN j
PRACTICE.
Vt'e have had much to say upon the benefits j
of using lime and clover up'm worn out soils, i
to give them a start. And yet we are apre
hensirelbat many of our readers have re
garded the matter as mainly theoretical, and
will not he induced to >ry it. Although ag*
riculture is adit tied to Lea tentative art,
some thl" gs are settled as we'd a they ever
can be by any amount of experiment.
Among thetn is the utility of applying lime
to soils that have not already enough of it and
cropping with clover to add vegetable matter
and ammonia to thin, light soils, or those that
do not give remunerative crops. In a recent
trip over the line of the New Jersey Central
Railroad, wc saw abundant evidence of the
e rn-out farms. Thirty years ago these farms
were unproductive, and many of their owners
were anxious to sell out at thirty dollars an
acre and emigrate. It was difficult to sell at
any price. Now one will hare to go far to
find a more beautiful farming region than
stretches from Plainfield, N. J., to Esston.
Pa. Farms are worth from $125 to S2OO per
acre, and are constantly increasing in value.
It is true some of this rise is due to the rail
road. which affords better facilities for mar
keting, hut the most of it is owing to the
better management of the land. They make
more of clovor than in the regular Pemsyl
vania rotation, as it comes in oftener. The
rotation is : 1. com upon clover sod, limed :
2, oats ; 3, wheat, with the n-anure of the
farm ; 4, clover, to he cut or pastured. The
farmers in all this region attribute the great
change in the value of their lands to this ro
tation.* The crops are luxuriant, and wheat
yields as promising as in any part of the West.
In all the better farming districts of Pennsyl
vania. similar results are manifest. Clover
and lime, in connection with the manure
made upon the place, keep the farms in good
heart, and constantly improving. The
average production of wheat and of corn in
these districts is much higher than in the
Western States, which hare a richer virgin
•oil. Wherever this treatment of the soil
has been introduced, it secures the most sat
isfactory results. We do not see how this
management of the soil can he considered as
pertaining merely to the theory of agriculture.
et the mass of onr farmers in the Eastern
States continue to raise clover in small
pauhe as a forage crop, without reference
to us value as a renovator of the soil. If
•hey woutd travel more and see what is ac
complished i„ the line of their art, they
would form better views, both of the theory
and p. a-_t.ee ol agriculture.— American Ag
riculturist.
ExraamcsTs IK GROWIVO OATS.— Among
the Varieties of White Oa.s. , h e three best are
the Surprise, Swedish and N ew Brunswick.
All of these weigh from forty to forty-five
pounds per bushel. The Black New Bruns
wick adapts i;se!f to nearly all kinds of soil,
and will yield from sixty to eighty bushels to
the acre.
In the three white varieties there is but
little difference. I place the Swedi-h first as
to quality and productiveness and strength of
straw, and eailinesa of ripening.

The Chinese Government having {through the
Hon. Anton Hut lingame) conceded to this Compa

These ports bare a foreign commerce of s9B®,-

which we hare the immense interna! c muierce ol
tie Empire, radiating from tbeee points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable heir g laid, this Company proposes
erecting land lines, and e-tab!ihing a speedy and
trustworthy means cfc iniminication, which mutt
command there, as everywhere cite, the commu
nicationi of the Government, of business, and of
social life, especially in China. She has no pos
tal system, and her only means now of communi
cating information is by couriers on land, and by
steamers on water.
The Western W<rld knees that China as
very large country, in the main densely peopled;
but a few yet realize that she contains mora tbaa
a third of the human race. The latest returns
made to her central authorities for taxing purpo
ses by the local magistrates make her population
Four Hundred and Fourteen Millions, and this it
m- re likely to be under than orer the actual ag
gregate. Nearly all of these, who are over ten
years old, not only can but do read and write.
Her civilization is peculiar, but ber literature is
as eater sire as that of Europe. China is a land
of teachers and traders; and the latter are ex
ceedingly quick to avail themselves of every
proffered facility for procuring early information.
It is observed in California that the Chinese make
great use of the telegraph, though it there trans
mits messages in English alone. To day great
numbers of fleet steamers are cwned by Chinese
merchants, and used by tnem exclusively for the
transmission of early inte ligence. If the tele
graph we proposo, connecting all their great sea
ports, were now in existence, it is believed that
its business would pay the cost within the first
two years of its sur cessful operation, and would
cteadily increase thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as a greater de
gree remunerative to capitalists, and to our whole
]teop!e. It is of a vast national importance com
inercially, politically, and evangelically.
