Boil the ap ples in this syrup until tender; then remove them, and make a new syrup of 2 J lbs. of sugar and 1 pint of vinegar. Add one teaspoonful of cloves and one of cinnamon tied in a bag. Let the syrup boil 15 or 20 minutes; then pour it while hot over the fruit. The first syrup is good for other sauces. Pumpkin Preserves. —The following is home-tried and proved: An excellent and economical sweetmeat is thus prepared : To 7 lbs. of pumpkins take 5 lbs. of sugar, 4 lemons, and 2 oz. of green ginger root, to be obtained at most grocer's stores. Cut the pumpkin in slices half an inch in thick ness, and in sixe and form to suit the fancy. Boil the pumpkin in the syrup until ten der. Then remove it and add the lemons and ginger root. These should be sliced thinly and scalded before being put into the syrup. Boil it down until it is rich enough to keep without fermenting, and then pour it over the pumpkin. If the ginger root cannot be obtained, lemons alone impart to it an agreeable flavor. Cakes. —Mrs. L. A. Mitts, of Black Hawk county, lowa, contributes the follow ing two recipes: Soda Cake, one loaf. —Beat together slightly one egg and one teaspoonful of dry sugar. Mix well with one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a teacupful of sweet milk, 24 tablespoonsful of melted butter, 1 pint of flour measured and then sifted, 2 tea spoonsful of cream of tartar, and extract of lemon to suit the taste. Bake quickly in a basin in a hot oven. [A recipe very nearly like the above has been used in our family for a long time, and is much liked. A smaller quantity of butter will suffice, unless a rich cake is. desired.] Cream. Cake. —Three teacupfuls of su gar, 3 of thick sour cream, 5 eggs beaten, 2 even teaspoonsful of soda and 2 of salt. Mix well with flour enough to make a bat ter, flavoring to the taste. Bake quickly in two three-pint basins, or in patty pans. —American Agriculturist. ERROII IN THE TREATMENT OF HORSES. When a horse shies or sheers at some unaccustomed object, which all young hor ses will do, never speak sharply, or worse than that strike him, if you would avoid his starting the next time he sees the same or a similar object. Almost any horse may be brought to a confirmed habit of shying ' by such treatment. What should be done then ? Check him to a walk; give him time to see the object, and he will soon take little or no notice of it. If a horse stumbles or trips, it is a common practice to strike him for that. This will not mend the habits of tripping and stumbling, but will add to them, if he has spirit, that of springing forward with dangerous quickness whenever it occurs, as he will expect the lash to follow as a matter of course. The remedy, if it can be called one, is to keep an eye upon the road, and whore the falling is apprehended, from stones or unevenness, tighten the reins and enliven the horse; never strike him after the accident. As you would save the wind and strength of your horse drive him slow up hill, and as you would save his limbs and your own, drive him slowly down hijl. Never wash off your horse with cold water when he is hot, or let him drink freely in that state. If the water is quite warm it will not hurt him. Do not permit the smith when he shoes your horse to cut out any of tfte sofl part, or what is called the frog of the foot. apt to gradually draw in the hoof and cripple the animal, and is recommend ed only by the smoother appearance which it gives to the bottom of the foot, which is more apt to catch a round stone in the foot than otherwise. Do not feed with grain, especially corn, when a horse is warm or very much fatigued; if you do you may founder and ruin him. Do not keep a horse too fat or too lean, as either disqual ifies him for hard labor. The more kind ness and good temper extended to a horse, the better he will behave in return. Bad temper and bad habits come gradually from bad usage. A Cellar l Up Stairs' —lf. A. Sheldon, of Middlebury, Vt., recommends to those without the conveniences of an under ground cellar, the following substitute: lake a box of any convenient size and set it within another of similar form but large enough to admit a layer of dry sawdust lour or five inches in thickness to be closely packed between the two, both at the bottom and sides. There may be a cover on both boxes, or only one on the outside box. In a room having fire by day, such a box will keep vegetables enough for a small family during a month or so, which will be a great convenience to those living at a distance iroua market. In very cold weather the box may be left open during the day. It will also do for a summer ice chest, by put ting the ice in some water-tight vessel American Agriculturist.

KENNEDY, of Roxbury, has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures Every Kind of Humor from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple. ITE ha* tried itin over 1100 cases, ami never failed ex cept in two cases, (both thunder humor.) He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its virtue,all within twenty miles of Boston. Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing Sore Mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of Pimples on the Pace Two to three bottles will clean the system of Biles. Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst Canker in the Mouth and Stomach. Three to live bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure all Humor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted to cure Running of the Ears and Blotches among the Hair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running Ulcers. One bottle will cure Scaly Eruption of the Skin. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Ringworm. Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the most desperate case of Rheumatism. Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the Salt Rheum. Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case of Scrof ula. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quanti ty is taken. Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottlesof this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of it in every case. So sure as water will extinguish fire, sosure will this cttre humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that sold an other; after a trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me sur prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla ces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been known until I discovered it in 1846—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popularity of the discovery, I will state that in April, 1853.1 peddled it and sold about sij bottles per day—in April, 1854, Isold oyer one thousand bodies per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing in the annals of putent medicines was ever like it. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters In my own practice I always kept it strictly for hutnprs —but since its introduction asa general family medicffte, great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that 1 never suspected. Several cases of epileptic fug—a disease w|iich was always tonslilefud incurable, bays been cured by a few bottles. O, wtpal 9 mercy if it will prove effectual In all cases of atyful malady—there are few who have seen more of it than 1 hare. . 1 know of several case* of Dropsy, all of them aged people, cured bf R- For the various diseasecof the Liv er, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases of the ifidneye, dec., the digcpvery has done more good than any medicine ever kuowii. No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you gel and plenty of it.

We pay agents *1 cash for each purchaser they obtain, and the first person m any neighborhood who applies for a pencil and gift will receive the agency for that locality.

It has been a well established fact for years past that Sarsaparilia, when pure and properlv prepared, was the only true panacea for all di seases originating from an impure state of the blood, the use of mercury, intoxicating drinks, evil habits in youth, barrenness, &c. We bold iy assert that JOILV BULL'S FLUID EX TRACT OF SARSAPARILLA is the only pre paration before the public that is prepared on strictly scientific principles and of uniform strength. The sarsaparilia is purchased with out regard to price, and every pound, before being used, is subject to the strictest chemical tests, and its genuineness ascertained before being used. Bull's Sarsaparilia also contains the virtues of several other valuable medical roots, together forming the best compound, and producing the greatest curative agent in the known world! This medicine, when used ac cording to directions, has cured Scrofula or King's Evil, Cancers, Tumors, Erup tions of the Skin, Erysipelas, Chronic Sore Eyes, Ringicorm or Tellers, Scald Head, Rheumatism, Old Sores and Ulcers, Pains in the bones or Joints, Swelling d? the Glands, Syphilis, Dyspepsia, Salt Rheum, Di seases of the Kidneys, Loss of Appetite, Pain in the Side and Shoulders, General Debility, Dropsy, Lumbago, Jaundice, Costiveness, Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Weakness of the Chest, Pulmonary Affections, and all other diseases tending to produce CONSUMPTION, Liver Complaint, Female Irregularities and Complaints, Sick and Nervous Headache, Low Spirits, Night Sweats, Exposure or Imprudence in Life, Chronic Constitutional Diseases, and is a spring and summer drink and general tonic for the system, and a gentle and pleasant pur gative, far superior to Blue Lick or Congress Water, salts, or seidlitz powders.
