Farm, Harden and Household. p+nionnhtr Hint*. Ry# ie worth growing, both for the straw and the grain. A few acres will furnish bands for a large field of corn, and the chopped grain with corn is ox ©client feed for horses. Two bnshels of seed per acre is snfiieient. If kept separate at harvest it may be sown at the end of a wheat field. Upon poor, light, or gravelly soils, it anonld be sown ia preference to wheat, as a more profit able crop. Few farmers are able to get their aoil in snfiloiently good tilth, or rich enough to sow grass seed alono with profit. Whore it can be done conveniently, a crop of hay may be mown the next sea son. In this ease half a bushel of timo thy is a proper quantity of seed. Gen erally, however, it is beat sown with fall grain. If clover is to le town in the spring, six or eight quarts of timo thy per acre, shonhl Ik> sown immedi ately after the grain is drilled or hsr rowed in. It will find sufficient cover ing by the gradual mellowing of the soil. A quarter of an inch of covering is all that ia needed. If the seed is old. one half more will ho needed. Fall fallowing should not be neglect ed. The corn stubble should bo thor oughly cultivated between the shook, as soon as the corn is cut. Potato ground that ia unoccupied ahonlo be harrowed, and every opportunity offered for the woods to grow. A harrowing will then destroy them, and start others to grow which may be killed in the spring. Rvery wav in which weeds may be killed should be studied ami put in practice. It is useless to try to get a crop of seed and fodder at the fame time, from a late cutting of clover. It is beat lo devote all the attcution to saving the see*!. If it is eipweil to ram it is easier thrashed, and the labor save*! is of more Taluo thau the poor fodder which could be secured. It should be thoroughly dry when put Into the barn. If taken from liome to be hulled it is worth while to save the chaff for the manure pile. AVe have hulled clover in the ordinary thrashing machine, by lowering the concave and fastening a strong board in front. The see*! and chaff wi'l work out below the cylinder if one side is opened. Buckwheat upon low ground is easily injured by frvv-U Rather than allow the crop to be injured, it is better to cut it early, although some of the graiu be green. In the stock it is safe, and the unripe grain will mature by a few dav's exposure. In drawing home the crop, spread a barn sheet in the wagon to catch the loosened grain. Thrash, as it is drawn from the field. Clean np the seed at once to prevent heating, and put it into shallow bins. If the grain heats it should be turned. The first grain in the market always brings the best price. Harvest beans carefully, to preserve the color. Rain or mildew will reduce the Talue 50 per cent. Stack in tall narrow heaps around single stakes set in the ground, and cap the stacks with straw to shed rain. Thrash as soon as dry, and store in barrels in a dry place. Catting corn is the great work of the month. As soon as the corn is glased to the tips of the ears, it is ready to cut. If struck with frost the fodder is seriously injure*!. Topping corn is ex cusable only where the fodder is worth nothing. We have not found that place vet. The heaviest Western com may be profitably cut np to the butts for fodder. The practice of leaving a hill nncnt to hold up the shock, ia more troublesome in the end thsn setting np the shocks securely at first. Spread the butts well, and tie the tops of the shacks with rye strsw bands. There will be no more shocks blown over, than if s hill is left uuent in the centre of each. Oar plan is to cut five hills each way. or if in rows 20 feet of each row for live rows. This makes a shock that will dry thoroughly in two weeks. Corn eat before the 10th should be husked before the end of the month. Cold fingers and bennmbed hands make .slow husking. A good basking machine is made, but strangely no one seems to want it. There are a good many farmers who could profitably invest SIOO in a good corn busker.—Agricul turist. To Make an Omelet. Proportions: About one ounce of butter for four eggs, and a pinch of salt, says Pierre Blot, are what is want ed for an omelet. Process : Salt the eggs, and beat them well with a fork. Have a brisk fire : put the butter into the pan, and eet it over the fire. Shake and move the pan in every way so as to melt the butter as fast as possible, and without allowing any of it to turn brown. When melted, turn the eggs in, and by means of a fork stir so as to heap up the part cooked, allowing the other part, that is liquid, to come in contact with the pan, and so on until the whole i 3 solidified. Then it is doubled np; that is, one half is turned over the other with a fork, commencing on the side of the pan to which the handle is attached. Then have a warm dish, which von place on your left hand ; take hole} of the handle of the pan with your right, the fingers underneath, and the thumb on the top ; raise the left side of your left hand so as to have the right side of the dish inclined, and then turn the pan upside down right over the dish, the side of the pan opposite that of the handle touching the edge of the dish, and the right hand movmg from right to left, so that the upper side or the omelet when in the pan will be the under side when on tLe dish, and you have a soft, juicy, and t&stv omelet, as smooth as the dish on which it is placed. An omelet can not be made too quick ly. Many cooks fail in making omelets because, by their process, it is made too slowly, and it is either dry or burned and tasteless. By carefully following the above di rections, and after one or two experi ments,any one with an ordinary amount of natural capacity can make an omelet properly. Some have the habit of ad ding water or milk to tbe eggs, bnt it is not necessary to make the omelet soft; for, when properly made, an omelet is always soft enough without any liquid being mixed with the eggs. Grutlug n Slope. A steep slope may be grassed over without sodding, by first smoothing the surface and making a tough paste or mortar of clay, loam and horse ma nure, with sufficient water. The grass seed,which should be a mixture of Ken tucky blue grass and white clover, should be thickly but evenly scattered upon the moist surface of this plaster, as it is spread upon the bank. The plaster should be at least one or two inches thick, and a thin layer should be laid ever the seed. The surface should be kept moist, and a light dressing of some active fertilizer would help the growth. In a few weeks the growing mass should be cut, and should be kept short at all times until a thick sod is formed. Traveling on the Farm. Did any of you ever think of the amount of travel it takes to raise a crop of corn? I never saw an illustration in print, and I thonght I would give yon one. I have a 20-acre field, 40x80 rods. To break this up would take IGG miles; harrowing it, about 40 miles ; furrow ing out, 90 miles ; planting, 45 miles, if with a planter, and if dropped and then covered, 90 miles. Thus you see, it takes about 800 or 900 miles of travel to raise twenty acres of corn, not count ing going to and returning from the field. Besides there are replanting, thinning, rolling, etc. llat 8 and Caps. The hats and caps—in fact all head gear worn by male steerage passengers, sometimes affords one a subject for serious contemplation. Every shape and style is seen, from the emaciated and moth-eaten stove-pipe to the brim less straw, frescoed with many kinds of dirt. Some poor fellows are abso lutely hat less, and we have seen them on the deck of an Atlantic 6teamer in midwinter, with a bit of carpet tied on their head. Heaven only knows the privations and discomforts these poor people are willing to undergo to reao'i " Ameriky [" WHAT THEY I>ll>. Th Slory ol * Hvy of Wontrn <" went to Formtnit. onif whl they Old. In the summer of IMS I was obliged to resign my position of principal over the O ilk wood Female Seminary, as my health was beginning to suffer from so many years of in-door life. It wss not without a pang that 1 heard the *h>otor s decision, for my work was very dear to me. When I bad beard the doctor a de cision, the question then to be answered wss, "What should I do?" I was en tirely alono iu the world so far #> fam ily relations wore concerned, and uiy school had boon my home so long that a change was a very unpleasant under taking. My lisbits were, and always had boon, very economical, nnd I had been able to save from my salary, your by vear,until I now lia*l a few thousand dollars nt the bank. Had 1 been wealthy, the prospect of situug down and doing nothing would still have been an exceedingly uuplcas ant one. Several projects came into mv mind, but none of them quite satis factory ones. In this dilemma I be thought me of my dear old friend Ame lia Black tof *x>urse that is not her nsmt), and 1 wrote her at once. A fortnight afterward 1 received a letter from her, telling me to come out to Ohio, where she was, sud go to culti vating a little farm, and raise garden stuff for market. I confess the plan struck me favor ably at the outset, but to make assur ance still more sure, f inclosed Amelia's lettei to Abo ejilorof the .t . riei.. 'uriaf, ami asked his judgment upon the plan. His answer was a very kiud one, and while lie pointed out the many difficul ties in the way, he thought there was uo doubt but that we could make it l*ay, at least, our living expenses. Mv mind was decide*! to try the plan the moment I read his letter, and then the question was, " AY horn should 1 ask to go with me ? ' 1 ran over in my mind the womeu who leallv ought lo get out of school, and than I decided npou three of my former assistants Misa Miss Sprague and Miss l>uun. In addition to these was our village dress-maker, Miss Morey, who was sewing her life away, and little Fannie Allen, whose father and mother were dead. I sat down and wrote Amelia 1 would follow her advice. Those whom I selected to accompany me gave a rqady assent, and I had man v applications from others. 1 finished evervthihg on uiy hands, and then started for Ohio; the others were to follow me when 1 had made ready for them. Amelia, dear heart, was so cordial iu her welcome that 1 never, for a moment, felt homesick or tired. She had l>eeu planning for me, and had gathered to gether many facts and items that were invaluable." AA"o visited the country lands about, and eventually purchase*! a fifty-acre tract, just nine miles from the heart of the city, paying fifteen dollars an acre for it. The laud, 1 was told, was excellent for gardening, and the situation was charming. Three-fourths of the tract wis a handsome level prairie, and this was completely surrounded by Woods. Our nearest neighbor was two miles •wav. I drew up a plan for a house, and I have no doubt it would provoke a smile did you see it. I arranged for six slecpiug-rooms, a sitting-room, diniug room, and a large kitchen. The house, barn, well, cisterns, etc., cost a little over twenty-five hundred dollars evidence that but little was expended for " fanov-work." When all was finished I wrote to my friends to come out, and by the time they arrived I had purchased furniture and made the house look like home. By this time it was October, and we could only bare the ten acres that we intended to cultivate plowed, and then put off further farming until spring. The vnater was not a lonely one by any means. We bought a quiet horse, and every Jay that was uot too stormy we drove to the city. We also occupied oar time in sewing carpeta, making strong, coarse clothes for spriug, and reading up gardening. Early in spring I advertised for a man and his wife, and was fortunate enough to secure a sober German couple. We built a small hou *e for them near our own, and were right giad when the weather was settled enough to let us commence out-door work. Each one of us took charge of some special de partment, except Fannie, who was too young. Oar man Joe was not at all incline*! to find fault with any of onr plans, but took willing hold of any thing he was asked to do, and did his beet. Miss Lewis took charge of tho acre given to " miscellaneous," and her crops were a large bed of strawberries, peas, and beets. Miss Sprague said she would look after the sore of onions; Miss Dunn, the acre of parsnips and carrots; Miss Morev, the melons, squashes, pumpkins, encumbers, etc.; I, the currants and small fruits ; aud Joe the corn and potatoes, as well us the care of the horse and cow. Farther on in the season I saw where another pair of hands could be used to good advantage, and they came to me in the person of s widow whom Amelia recommended—a quiet body, who was friendless, now that she ha<l lost her husband. To her we gave charge of the selling aud marketing. What arrangements had we for the distribution of profits ? We didn't pro pose to distribute them. The only ar rangements we had in onr community were as follows : we opened an account wherein we entered the amount of capi tal each one brought to the general fund, and we agreed that any one upon withdrawing from ns could claim the amount she had bronght, providing we had not lived beyond our income. This was all. I am surethere was no happier house hold in the land than ours. During the entire summer uo one complained of ill health, and though we were a busy family, we still had ample time for recreation. We often drove into the city early enough to catch the steamer bound for the islands forty miles away, and were back home at U o'clock, after a ph asant day's sail and picnicking. Neither did we overlook the entertainments in the city. Joe was always ready to drive ns to town, and glad to have an evening's chat with Ins friends. I have thus been minute as to onr plans and life during our first summer, and now it only remains for me to give the result of our years' work. We be gan sending our vegetables to market in June, and kept a faithful account of everything sold and every penny re ceived. 1 find, on examining my books, that our receipts for the year were eighteen hundred and forty dollars; our expenses, including Joe's wages, fourteen hundred and fifty dollars. To say that we were well pleased with the result is to express it very tamely. We had no expectations of making money the first year, but bere we were nearly four hundred dollars better off than when we liegan the year. We devoted that money to purchasing a piano, and Fannie made many a stormy evening pass away pleasantly as we listened to her simple songa. The second year was a much better one than the first. Our strawberries alone gave u four hundred dollars, and our raspberries were also very profit able. Our receipts were over twenty two hundred dollars, aud our expenses about seventeen hundred. The year was pleasanter, too, because we had made many pleasant friends in the city, and were rarely allowed to want for callers. Our friends found it a pleas ant ride from the city, and we enjoyed their presence very much. • We now kuow that onr experiment is a successful oue. We have good health, kind friends, and a pleasant home life that we make for each other. When I read of girls wearing their lives away in the cities over shirts and vests at starvation prices, I cannot help thinking they would be wise to go into tbe country, rent a bit of land, and at least have health aud independence. And it is for such as these that I have written this. (toldsmith Maid's great feat aren't hall ao big as a Bangor girl'a. A STAKE HOHHI'.RY. Thf l.lr o|rn(!iiii of Ihf J It rot H* rl* mul the lounger !!>• !trr ltl* Ingloii, Mo* The telegraph has made mention of a bohl highway robbery committed opjo --site the town of Lexington, Missouri, in broad daylight, and in sight of sev oral hundred persons. Lexington pa lters contain full details of the afiatr, which, in some respecta, is without a parallel. The perpetrators of tins latest Missouri outrage were the notorious James brothers, Frank and Jesse, and the two " Younger hoys." Those rough riders are fair specimens of the class of ruffians who have been engaged in committing all sorts of outrages, from chicken stealing to hank stealing. They are the typo of a class not to l>e soon outside of the border States, and more numerous in .Missouri than any where else. Thev defy the whole power of the State, write insulting lotbrs to the Governor, ami in all respects de mean themselves as outlaws. A list of their exploits would till a cotutnu. This robbery at Lexington was committed on a Sunday evening. About ri o'clock, as the omnibus had crossed the ferry stnl was proceeding to the railroad de pot, with eight passengers inside, three masked horsemen dashed out of the ivihhls, revolver in hand. One stopped the omutWua horses and sat at their heads while the other two thrust their heavy army revolvers into the windows and threatened instant death to any one who resisted. Olio of them, who 'afterward proved to te Frank Jawss, dismounted, while his brother Jesse held his horse and stood guard. Frank then ordered all the male pas sengers to get out ami hold lip their hands, so ss to prevent the possibility of secreting valuables or drawing weapous. The command was promptly obeyed, and in a trice eight very dis consolate looking gentlemen were ranged in a row along the roadside, with their sixteeu hands held high in the sir, and the work of g* ing through them liegan. Meanwhile auolher mem ber of the gsug rode off to a party who were strolling on the bank of the river near by, and ordered them to oouio up to the omnibus and fall iutoluie, which they did. Among these wss a young lady of Lexington, who has known the James and Younger families for many years, sud who had placed Frank James under obligations by nursing him wh.-n wounded during the war. When she reached the omnibus he was just in the act of taking a watch and chain from one of the passengers, whereat the msidsu spoke : " Why, Frank Jaim s, I'm astonished to sec you have come down to such small work. 1 thought you never did auvthing except on s big scale." He shook hands with her cor dially, and said : " Well, lam a little ashamed of it myself. It's the first time we ever stoopod to such small game. Hut," he added, " you ueedu't call names quite so loud here." The young lady then asked him to give Sin gleton back his watch. " Why," he said, "ia this man any kin to vou ?" She answered that ho was, and slie did not want him robbed. James promptly handed the wutch to her, but kept the chain, which is a very handsome and coetly one. " No," she exclaimed ; "give back the chain, too. 1 won't have part if I can't get all." After some little demurring, tic returned both watch and chain ; and, at her request, gave up another gentleman's watch, which he had confiscated before she ar rive*!. All this goes to show that your true Mi-.-oiiri bushwhacker is a high-toned scoundrel, not altogether devoid of " houah, sab," aud aaaoeptiblo tit the gi-utle and persuasive tones of lovely woman. Hut there are limit* to tua generous nature, for a little later, when Mr. James was stripping off another gentleman's fine coat and Test, the young ladj said : " Ob, Frank, don't "take that man's clothes. Your mother wonld be grieved to death if she knew how yon are doing ; I nursed you when you were wounded during lav war, and now I behere 1 ought to have let ton die." He rather sadly replied : "It's a pitv yon didn't," but went on with the disrobing process, saying: " I need good clothes myself, and miue will do for him to go over to town in." The total proceeds of this bold robbery were only about 8"J50, so that we may expect to hear of another raid aoou. Au lowa Itoy's Idea of Confession There is a man bring on Fifth street who is a good man, endeavoring to train up his children fn the war they should go, and mi his dock is numerous and two of them are boys, ho has anything but a sinecure in this training business. Only a day or two ago, the elder of those male olive branches, who has lived about fourteen wicked years, enticed his younger brother, who has only had teu years experience, to go out ou the river iu a boat, a species of pastime which their father had many a time forbidden, and had even gone so far as to enfore his veto with a skate strap. Bat the boys went this time, trusting to luck to conceal their depravity from the knowledge of their pa, and in due time they returned, and walked around the house, the two most innocent look fug boys in Burlington. They separated for a few moments, and at the expira tion of that time, the elder was sudden ly confronted by his father, who re quested a private interview in the nsual place, and the pair adjourned to the wood-shed, where, after a brief but highly spirited performance in which tho boy appeared most successfully ns " heavy villain " and his father took his favorite role of " first old man," tho curtain went down, and the boy con siderably mystified, sought his broth er. "John," he said. " who do yon sup pose told dad ? Have yon been lickid yet ?" John's face will not look more peace ful and resigned when it is in his coffin than it did when he replied : " No, have yon ?" "Have I ? Come down to the cow yard and look at my hack." John declined, hut said : "Well, Bill, I'll tell you bow father found us out. lam tired of acting iu this wy, and I ain't agoin to run away and coiue home and lie about it any more. I'm gong to do better lifter this,and so when I saw father I couldn't help it, and went right to him and con fessed," Bill was touched at this manly action ou the part of his younger brother. It found a tender place in the bad boy's heart, and he was visibly affected by it. But he asked : ■ " How did it happen tho old man didn't lick yon ?" " Well," sail the penitent yonng re former, " yon ee, I didn't confess on myself, I only confessed on you; that was the Wiiy of it." A strange colt i light glittered in Rill's eye. "Only confessed on me?" ho said. "Well, that's all right, l>nt come down behind the cow-shed, anil look at my back." And when they got there, do you suppose John saw tho first mitoof Bill's back? Ah, no, dear children, he saw nothing bigger than Mill's fists, and be fore lie got out of that locality, he was the worst pounded John that ever con fessed on any body. Tlius it is that our coming reformers are made uud trained. — Burlington JTau keyr. Winter Cloaks. Regular cloaks are to be revived, u fashion jonrnal sayß. Long, comforta ble-looking cloaks, reaching to the knee, are imported by all the first-class fnrnishing-stores as models for their midwinter garments. These wraps aro loose sacks with a deep cape in front, are wadded, yet look slender and shapely, and are all buttoned down be fore, and sometimes behind as well, by way of ornament. There are no sleeves, merely armholes, but the cape is sewed to the front, leaving a place for tho hands to come out, thus making a double front, aDd giving ample protec tion. These clonks are not fitted to the figure, yet cling closely to it, giv ing the slender fleet now sought after. They are ma<h* of the new Dlack fignred and wadded silk called matelasse silk, or else of the real India cashmere called Rabjampoor cashmere, and are border ed with black fur.

About an h*ur before sun down, and loforo many chiefs had re turned from lJetivor, th<> aealp-poles were pulled up, and the dnaky war riors aelooted a portion of the prairie remote from any wtgwaut, where they again liked the JKilca ataiut four feet from e ch other.

These things together with the weird music only known to savages, when at regular interval* the shrill voices of the women rise above those of the m<*n, and occ iaionally the startling war*hoop rings loud ever all, render the aceue one never to be forgot ten.

The beneficent Crea tor never designed that an immortal work of His hand shonld bo thus tor tured and disfigured even in the inves tigation of His physical laws. Accord ing to my informant, numerous races of animals are at times to be found within yonr operating premises in vartons stages of mutilation aud torture; "aome arc to }>o seen with the cranium re moved and the brain taken outan other, "its abdomen opened, and the vessels leading to the liver tied in such a manner as to allow nothiog to enter or escape by the main channel 1" "The agony of this poor creature, in particu lar," saya the writer, " during this ex periment, which was prolonged six weeks, was something excruciating, and its dismal howls were frightful to hear, as its whole frame was racked to pieces." Another experiment was that of a goat with its back opened to the spiual mar row, in the attempt to perform a fiend ish operation which forty years before ha<l been effected and known to all the medical world. While reading these frightful atrocities, perpetrated on in nocent, unoffending animals,the inquiry springs to the lips, (lan the perpetrator* of them be human beings ? Can the brain that conceives tbem,the heart that tolerates and the hand that executes them belong to that being who, it is aid, was made in God's own image ? As a natural and inevitable m quenco to these dark deeds, of which the defence less brute is the victim, rtimor aacrilies to the hospital in qnestion the infliction of cruelties on the unfortunate human beings whom accident brings within its walls as merciless in the extreme, and which, if true, merits that the denuncia tion of Dante should he inscribed over its terrible portals. Chinese Women. Twenty-two Chinese women seem to have lately net the City of Ban Francis co in an uproar. The twenty-two women arrived from China on the steamer Japan, and woro objected to by the Btato Commissioner of Emigra tion, on the ground that they were chattels, imported for immoral pur poses. He prohibited their landing. The Chinamen who had imported them : up that they were immigrants, nud wore entitled to protection ami liberty under the Civil Rights law and the treaty between the United States atnl China. On a writ of habeas cor pus they were brought before a District Conrt, "which, amid great excitement lon the part of the Chinese population, decided that they were courtesans and under the laws of the State, could not be allowed to remain in Sn Franciaco. Tin y were, accordingly, remanded to China. Brought to the atcamship, these unfortunates refused to go on board; they lay on the wharf and bowled piteonsly, and wero carried on to the ship by main strength. There they were relased, just as the vessel was sailing, by a new writ from the Su preme Court of the State. The women were sent to juil for safe keeping, and the wholo ease, involving the obliga j tions of the Burlingame treaty, the Civil Rights law, and the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was reargued. The final decision, was to the effect that the im portaton of the women was unconstitu tional and illegal, and that they must be sent back to China by the Hhip that brought them. Thia is a test case, and I has, therefore,'great interest to Cali- I forniaus being 011 preventing the impor -1 tatlon of foreign courtesans.

Cattle D.ra*e In Pennsylvania. The Reading Time* mentioned re cently the existence of a diseaae among cattle in Montgomery county, IVnn., which results in certain death to mil at tacked. It now says that the name dis ease is prevailing m Bucks county, and appear* to have attacked cattle in va rious neighborhoods, widely separated from each other, almost at the same time. The animal at first manifests a languid and stnpid disposition, refusing to cat.and finally goes staggering about until death takt's place, which oecnrs in from a few hours to about twe days from the first attack. The nature and cause of the malady is something of a mystery, not only to tho farmers and cattle-ownera, but to the surgeons.

The deadly vegetable alkaloids snch as Mercury, Strychnine, and iTussic Acid cannot cure disease or produce any but the most disastrous results. Perhaps no event has occurred of late vears which is so well calculated to disabuse the pnblie mind of a belief in the efficacy of mineral poisons and bleeding as the discovery of Doctor Walker, of California, of certain medi cinal herlm, whose healing principles he has extracted and combined in the form of VINKOAII BITTKRH. The cures wrought by it seem marvelous. Its action is mild ami agreeable, but at the same time rapid ami effectual, and Wing unimpeded ly the presence of alcohol or fermented liquor of any description, is attended with results hitherto unachieved by any remedial agent.
