Kitchen Consolation
(in ! this baking and brewing.
This boiling and stewing,
. .
washing of dishes three times a day !
'The griddle-cakes turning,
The skimming for churning,
-etting of tables and clearing away !
What is it but weariness,
Work without cheerfulness,
Tho Caine round of labor day after day '?
I'd rather be painting,
Or sewing, or braiding,
Or spending my time in a pleai:inter !
This my - fancy ktpt dreaming
O'er the hat dishes steamicg,
Anti wond'ring why I must a kitchen fire tend
Till an angel's low whispering
Compelled me to listening,
And taught me these household discomforts to
mend.
Is your work not the oldest,
The usefu!est, noblest—
In ministering daily to the life God has ziven '?
If the work is unceasing
Of washing and Sweeping,
remember that order's the first law of Heaven !
Pray what gives more pleasure
Than a well seasoned dinner,
When tastefully served on the family board ?
Thank God we caa labor—
Can knead, mix and flavor,
And draw pleasant meals from the farmer's
rich hoard—
That heartsome delight
_lt morn, noon and night
iVl,..:i the family gathers for chat and good
cheer!
Then should you be complaining
The work unavailing
That brings joy to the loved ones eash day in
the year?
About Fattening Cattle.
The price of cattle fattened for market
dcpends on the symmetry of the animal,
ps well as the "fat" style as shippers term
it. Good blood is important, but not ab
solutely necessary, to make what is termed
a good seller. In order to fatten a steer
to bring the highest market price, he must
be kept in growing condition from a calf,
and in no case allowed to go hungry. It
is the starving the first and second winters
which wilts and ebrivels up a steer, that
causes him to be sold at a reduced price,
No amount of feeding will make him a
Grist class seller, no difference what his
color or blood, An animal well fed of any
blood, from a calf until the Spring he is
three years old, will be smooth, with bonds
well covered and will sell at a profit ;while a
halfetarved animal becomes crooked in the
back, bones projecting and shriveled up,
takes the best part of' Summer to get in
condition to live, and will not be in condi
tion for market until he is four years old,
and then will bring a price which is un
eatiefaetory to the producer and to every
one that handles him. This is no theory,
but a fact deduced from close observation,
as I have tested the plan for several years.
It will and does pay to feed corn to calves
and to yearlings. They start out to grass
in the Spring strong and vigorous. You
are then able to market your cattle the
Spriug they are three years old, weighing
1,400 pounds which u heavy enough to
brick; the first price. The best steer I
sold in 1872 was a common native. He
was a handsome animal, and was worth
more per pound than any I shipped in 1872.
Ile weighed in Chicago 1,350 pounds
aged three years. I now have a steer
calf, eleven months old, from a very ordi
nary cow. The calf new weighs 660 Das;
I think it will weigh at three years, 1,500
pounds.—Drovers' Journal.
Eggs.
J. W. Perkins, of Steuben county,
New York, in the Country Gentleman,
says : "If Polly Wogg will substitute
wheat, or wheat bran, or any food that
contains lime, in the place of corn, the
biddies will not fail to shape their eggs
after the most approved fashion. Polly
lirogg, in my opinion, might as well feed
burned lime to horses or children to from
bone, as raw lime to biddies with which to
form eon' shells. There is yet too much
of suer tradition handed down by old
ladies in masculine clothing. Polly Wogg
and the rest of mankind should recognize
the fact that the material for the up
building and support of the animal econo
my in every condition must be contained
in the food, and not in the drug shop or
lime kiln."
Extinguishing Kerosene Flames.
The alarming frequency of accidents
from kerosene flames, coupled with the
great difficulty encountered in subduing
them, renders the acquisition of any ready
and convenient means of extinguishing
them a matter of much importance to
every household. Perhaps one of the
most ready means is to throw a cloth of
some kind over the flames, and thus stifle
it; but as the cloth is not always conven
ient to the kitchen, where such accidents
most frequently occur, some one recom
mends flour as a substitute, which is always
at hand in the kitchen, and which it is
said promptly extinguishes the flames. It
rapidly absorbs the fluid, deadens the
flame, and can be readily gathered up and
thrown out of doors when the fire is out.
Grapes as Medicine.
Grapes are recommended as a cure for
billiousness. This fruit, by its agreeable
acidity, so acts on the system as to relieve
it of its bile, and thus removes the cause
of its symptoms enumerated, and that is
"cure." The immediate cause of all the
discomfort is a "confined" condition of the
system; the seeds of the grape act as an
irritant as they pass along the alimentary
canal and cause it to "water," just as the
eye "waters" if a hard substance touches
it. This watering dissolves the more solid
matters contained in the intestines, "washes'i
them outtnd the man is well. The cov
ering of the grapes should be chewed but
nor iwall ow ed.— Horticulturist.
DON'T LEAVE TIM FARM.—Boys and
young men who propose leaving the farm
for city employment, should pause before
acting—look before they leap. Unless
they have places engaged, and a special
taste or aptitude for the proposed business,
it will be folly to leave home upon an un•
certainty—especially the present season,
when Erasincss is worse than dull and
thousands of competent young men—clerks,
mechanics, etc.,—are vainly seekino. em
ployment. No, no—"stick to the farm," e '
boys, for it is the surest and best as well
as the most natural and healthy pursuit

H. IL STEVENS, Esti., -- - .
Dear Sir—l should he wanting in gratitude if I failed
to acknowledge a hat the VscirrtNi, has done fir me. I
was attacked about eleven months since with Drolichitis,
which settled into consumption. 1 had night sweats awl
fever chilly; wai distressed for breath and frequently
spit Mead; was all emaciated, very weak, and sd low that
my friend.; thought my cane hopeless.
. .
I was advised to make a trial of the VIGETINE, which,
under the providence of God, has cured me. That he
may bless the use of this medicine to others, as he has to
me, and that his divine grace may attend you, is the
heartfelt prayer of your admiring, humble servant,

H. R. STEVENS, Esq
Dear Sir—l have heard from very many sources of the
great success of VEUETINE in cases of Scrofula, Rheu
matism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh and other diseases of
kindred nature. I make no hesitation in saying that I
know VRGETINE to be the most reliable remedy for
Catarrh and General Debility.
My wile has been troubled wills Catarrh for many
years, at: times very badly, She has thoroughly tried
every supposed remedy that we could hear of, and with
all this the has for several years been gradually growing
worse, and the dim barge from the bead wan excessive :Ind
very offensive.
She was in this condition when oho commenced to take'
VE4.IETINE; I could see that she was improving on the
second bottle. She contint ed taking the VFAIETINK'
until she boil used from twelve to fifteen bottles. I am
now happy in informing yon and the public (if yon choose
to make it public) that she is entirely cured, and VFAIR-.
TIRE accomplished the cure after rurtiiii.g else would.—
Hence I feel justified in saying that VEUITINE is the
most reliable remedy, and wool() adci•e all suffering hu
manity to try it, for I believe it to be a good, honest,
vegetable medicine, and I shall not hesitate to recom
mend it. I am, ire., respectfully,

A PPLETONS'
AMERICAN CYCLOPZDIA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated
with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation
which it has attained in all parts of the United
States, and the signal developments which have
taken place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and publishers
to submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
and to issue a new edition entitled Tut AMERICAN
CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of discov
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of reference an imperative want.
The movement of polities.] affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country, which
was at its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new
course of commercial and industrial activity has
been commenced.
Large acceseions to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last decade,
with the natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men
whose names are in ever] one's mouth, and o
whose lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought and im
portant sieges maintained, of which the details are
as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the
transient publications of the day, but which ought
now to take their place in permanent and authen
tic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress of po
litical and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and with the most ample re
sources for carrying it on to a successful termina
tion.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopsedia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
lucidity and force to the explanations in the text.
They embrace all branches of science and of natu
ral history, and depict the most famous and re
markable features of scenery, architecture and art,
as well as the various processes of meohanics and
manufacturers. Although intended for instruction
rather than embellishment, no pains have been
spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost
of their execution is enormous, and it is believed
they will find a welcome reception as an admira
ble feature of the Cyelopesdia, and worthy of its
high character.
