quite less labor in handling whileeuring, and the
expense of boxing less than when they are made

by cheese makers, and they therefore make an

markets step in and reject the old styles, giving
preference to the smaller 617. P. They do not abso

course, you mutt take a less price as a conse
quence. Some persons not understanding the
=theta, insist that this matter is malty nothing
more than a clever trick of the dealers for the
purpose of purchasing at low rates. It is a mis;,

light,the better will it be for all parties concern-
The time been when large cheeses would
outsell the smaller, but it wait not because of the
size, but, ibr tide simple reason that the quality
well merlins , better. When quality wag alike,
the small cheese have always been worth the
meat money. The reasons are obvious. The
small cheese are more easily handled; there is
lets loss in case of breakage or accident; there is
lesa-waste in cutting, and they are moreaaleable
to persons purchasing for family is&
We may remark here, that In England the
shops for retailing cheese are often kept by wo
men, who are unable readily to handle a heavy
cheese. In the home trade large cheese have -
always been objectionable, on account of heavy
handling, and loss from breakage, skippers, and
waste from drying during the time employed for
cutting up and selling small quantities at retail
Some of the home-dealers have instructed their
agents for several years past, to purchase nothing
but small sized cheese during hot weather. and,
from this came the-requisition on the' part of pur
chasers, that dairies of 40 to 5 cows should di
vide their curds, making two cheeses per day.
Recently the smaller dairies have improved in
their manufacture, making cheese of as fine a
quality thr the bestand thus have they been able
to outsell the larger dairy. though equally One,
when size was large. A desirable size fur the
home trade, is to press the curds in a 14, 15 or
16 inch hoop ; making the cheese about five inches
high. For the English market two styles are
sought after—the fiat cheese above described.
and the Cheddar shape, which is 15 inches In
diameter by 11 or 12 inches high. Small cheese
weighing about 10 pounds, if nicely made, meet
with a ready sale and at an advanced price.
either in the home or f"reign markets. Some
manufacturers the present season have been
making as small as seven pounds They are
put up, several together, in square boxes and
shipped, and command very high pricers The
highest priced cheese that has been sent from
Herkimer county the present season, up to Oc
tober 12th, was obtained for that made on the
dairy farm of the writer, in 11 Inch hoops, and
weighing shout 20 pounds each.
It is believed a greater discrimination as to
size and qualities of cheese will be made next
season, than ever before. A choice article, put
up in desirable shape, will meet with ready
sales, and at a high figure. Factorieaand family
dairies should provide themselves with the right
kind of hoops, so as to be able to take advantage
of the markets and obtain the best prices. If
factories persist in making large cheeses, they
must expect to be outsold by the small family
dairies, and the tendency of this will be to break
up the factory system, since farmers will not
pay from ltjto 2c. per pound for having their
cheese made in factories, and see the private
dairies outselling at from 1 to 2c. per pound.
The great argument for the establishment of
factories was, that the cheese outsold that made
in the family, by enough to pay the coat of
making.
When the argument can be used In favor of
family dairies, persona will be found in every
neighborhood to draw off their patronage from
the factories, and the number of cows will be
reduced. it is feared, to that extent as to be un
profitable to run the establishment.
The home trade promises to be very large
the coming year. Our people, it would seem,

can be manufactured, and while they are willing
to pay for tt a good round price, they will insist

Cooking an Old Hen
The editor of the Massachusetts P&sughmass,
who is something of a wag withal, disci:motes as
follows on the above mentioned feat in culinary
science: •
As we had occasion a few days ago to state the
age at which a chicken passes from chicken to
hen-hood, and alluded to the difficulty of making
an old fowl tender, we feel under some obligation
to say that there is a method of doing even this.
The French do it any way. Wonderful pets.
ple those French are, in the cooking line.
With us it is an eternal roast and boil. 'And
the thing can't be done in that way. Our pen
ple seem to have an abhorrence of "messes." and
the consequence is we contrive to make the larg
eat quantity of meat do the least possible service
in the way of feeding's hungry appetite. Put an
old hen, or an old cock either, as to that matter.
into the pot or down to the fire for the prescribed
length of time, and it becomes tougher and hard
er. We presume there can he no doubt of that;
if there is, try it and you'll surely find it so--
But there are other ways of making her not only
more wholesome, but more tender, palatable and
valuable.
Take. for example, what the French call pot-au.
feu. We haven't - anything just like it in this
country and so we don't exactly know what to
call it It really means "pot on the tire" At any
rate it is the solace of a Frenchman and is famil
iar to every French woman who knows the first
thing about cooking in all classes of society from
the highest to the lowest. Here the old hen is the
principal ingredient She adds not only strength
but flavor. But she isn't thrown in whole, to be
boiled for-dear life as we cook that venerable bird.
She is cut up into small joints and simmered for a
long time, hours together, till bel flesh becomes
soft and tender, and leaves the bones and turns to
a pulp. Now the delicacy of flavor of this deli
cicala dish is due to the old . hen, and it isn't mere
ly what forms it as it is brought upon our tables.
but every part goes in, such as thr neck, thehead.
the gizzard, the liver, the heart and the feet. And
it is'nt the poor, who are obliged to be economi
cal, in France, that eat and revel in this dish. It
is the easy classes who live on their incomes as
well. This "rot onthefrrer in &Preach kitchen is
the receptacle for almost everything that b-ents.;
hie, such as broken bones of all kinds, cheap hits
of coarse beef cut up in little square pieces, some
carrots, turnips, leeks and potatoes, and if it is
spring when peas are in the pod, a dozen pods,
run through and strung together by a needle and
thread ,are put In to give flavor, - and taken out be
fore the pa au feu is served up. It is a soup, but
for all thatit isa dish& fora king; and for a farm
er too as to that matter, and how vastly superior
in every respect to a bit of coarse stringy beef, a
considerable part of which will perhanahe wasted.
Now if there is any one who don't like soups.
because they are *' 'nothing' but spoon whiles,"
there is another way to serve np an old hen so
that she shall manifest, to mortal palate, all the
delicacy and tenderness of youth. Just cut her up
into joints, taking care to go by the joints so that
you don't get in any splinters of bones. Fick up
all the bits of meat you have in the house, bones
too if there is any meat on them, any odd pieces
of ham or bacon, leg or shoulder of mutton and
a slice of salt pork, and cut a few slices of fat ba
con and .dome bread. Take an earthen vessel
with an earthen cover, with a bit of a hole in it,
the cover, we mean, and put a layer of bread at
the bottom of this vessel, then a layer of bacon,
and then MI in with all thescrapg and joints yuu
happen to have, they'must be sweet and clean of
course, till the vesset is full. Then fdl up the hol
lows and cracks between with . Water, and tie
down the lid. Pat it at night in a very warm,
not hot oven, and let it stay till morning. Take
it out at your leisure and put it in a cool place,
and when perfectly cold you'll eat it witbagusto,
either fur breakfast, luncheon, dinnero or supper,
and you'll find it not only tender; bat juicy, and
delicately flavored and highly nutritious. The
water that you put in will have turned into a jel
ly, and the whole will cut like red veined mar
ble. There Is no way in the world you can cook
an old fowl so economically or so splendidly.
We stintlid like to slt.down with you to that
gfir He -that knows not when to be ailed,
kricrornot *berg to speak.

Scuserattas ns Honsus—A correspondent of
the last NM Engtand Farmer thus refers to
"bright varnish" as a cure Corrals, wounds, arid
especially scratches in horses:
" When I worked et my trade in the city, I
had occasion to use different kinds of paintiand
oils; among them was what is called 'bright
varnish.' 'Pregnantly I would cut myself, some
times so severely that I have been laid up for
weeks. I wonla try all kinds of salve, but the
wound would lit a long time healing. One day
I cut my hand severeli, and as I had nothing at
hand to put on it I thought I would try acme of
the bright varnish; nail is R sticky substance, I
thought it might stick the wound together. Ac
cordingly I hound up my hand with it and kept
nn at work ; the varnish relieved the pain, I bad
no soreness in the wound, and in one week it
was entirely healed. My son was sawing
through a board one day, and carelessly put his
hand under the board. He had his forefinger
bone entirely sawed off. I put the ends together
put on this varnish and bound it up. The result
was, that after one week the bandage was re
moved, and the finger had nearly grown to gab
' er. My horse once haersrgatehes so badly that
it was difficult to get him to move about. I
rubbed the'parts affected with this varnish for
two days. which caused a perfect care. The
varnish can be bought at the paint shops for six
or eight cents per quart.

head, that fresh air, light, sunshine exercise and
cleanliness are as essential to a perfectly healthy
bog, as to man, or to any other of our domestic
animals; and acting on this ides I give the pigs
the run of the orchard, and they pay well for the
use of the land. Their season's stint is to eat up
all the windfalls, thus destroying the worms and
preventing them from leaving the apple and se

of transformation; but you will find the hogs
turning over She loose stones and catingnp these
pests, and they stir up the soil round the roots
of the trees and make it mellow, and as
you watch their movements you must admit

your orchard well worked over, and the poor

we mean for the hogs to run in the orchard till
late in the fall, not by any means. When the
apples begin to ripen and fall off, the hogs
should be shut up in a smaller enclosure where
they can take proper exercise, for we think sour

AN ENGLISHMAN ON GRANT AND
SHERMAN.
FIIOIII TILE STORY OF TUE (MEAT IfABOII, BY SU-
JOR menoLs.
Ulysses Grant is a man of genius; one who
will be found to have contributed fresh materi
als to thenrt of war. With him 4 siege is a
campaign. Instead of driving off the covering
army from a fort or city, as old rules insisted
must be .done, before commencing operations
against it, Grant manceuvres to keep the cover
ing army near him, to throw it within the lines.
to compel it to take a part in the defense, and to
fall when the beleagured fortress falls. This
plan has the disadvantage of making a siege
appear long to perplexed critics who cannot see
that the close of the siege is to be, under this
new system, the close of a campaign. At Don
elson and at Vicksburg, Grant's plan was car
ried out ; in each the covering army fell with
the fortlesa, and in each the blow was final.—
The fall of Fort Donelson and its covering army
pot an end to the war in Kentuctky and Western
Tennessee; the fall of Vicksburg and its cover
ing army opened the Mississippi River, never to
be closed again hy Southern guns. Each cam
paign was final ; not only sweeping away the
army in the field, together with the stores, guns;
clothing, ammunition, but crushing in the catas
trophe, all sparks of the rebellious fire. Where
Grant had once been, it was found impossible to
raise a second rebel corps. The fighting spirit
was Buttoned.
Sherman, when we come to know him at all,
was in some respects better comprehended by
the critics than Grant had been. Alter Sadan
nab fell into his power, all nonsense about his
being drawn from his base and flying to his
ships died rent among us. The horse guards be
to study his remarkable march; acid the
Duke of Cambridge went to preside at a meet•
ing of the United Services to hear an explans
tionlif it in detail. From that day forward,
simply because We began to know him, Sher
man became our hero of the war, and once or
twice the newspapers ventured to say that the
South would be conquered by his arms.
At Gaylesville Sherman may ho said to have
stripped for the great march. He was going to
Richmond, a distance like that from Paris to
Bucharest; and all that way of a thousand
miles he 'Foetid have to pass through an enemy's
conntry. For some part of his long journey be
could reckon on no help, no stores, no forage,
save those waifs and strays which his keen eye
could see and his strong arm could seize. Aware
that he might have to light for every mile of
ground, for every beast of burden, for every
sack of corn, a sharp and short command Iron ,
headquarters educed the army to its barest
fighting and marching power. All the sick
wer e sent back. Non combatants were driven
off from the camp. All impedimenta, such as
horses, tents, chairs, tables, were left behind.—
Gustavus in Pomerania, Napier in Scinde, was
not more peremptory than Sherman in Gworgia.
But the great General never asked a soldier to
put up with worse fare and worse lodging than
he reserved for himself. He slept in his blanket
on the ground; he fed on hard lack; and when
the Secretary of War, as his guest, dined with
him at Savannah, he apologized for the appear
ance of potted meats and fruits on his hablo as
luxuries unbecoming a soldier's mess. The
troops bad that undoubting faith in his genius
which Napoleon inspired in his army, and Nel
son ll his fleet. When be ordered things to be
done which they coulJ . scarcely understand, they
merely said, "Well, he can't make a mistake,"
and then they did it,
Nothing like this flinging of an army of 70,
000 men trom their base into a vague field of
operation had ever been seen. A movable col
umn is tat best a perilous trial, even when form
ed on a small scale and sent into the territories
of such toes as France encounters in Algiers and
England in India. The nearest approach to
Sherman's movement was the famous flank
march after the Alma when the-allies broke up
their 'Camp and passed from their base at Old
Pori and set off in search of a new one at Bal
aclava. It was a dangerous feat, contrary to
rule, and has been slimly condemned. Yet
this change of base was an affair of a day; the
French and Eageish ships were at hand, and the
materials war were all on board. Sherman
had no supplies to fall back on. Between him
and the sea lay three handred miles of Savan
nah swamp end sand. A hundred water courts
es crossed his path. He would have roads to
make, morasses to turn, rivers to bridge and
cross . Where was he to find food for that mlgh
ty host! Does manna grow on the beach and
in the pine woods? asked one of his aides-de
camp. With thirty days' rations in stock, be
was going in search of his enemy and his sip
plies. I t was an original and daring adventure;
one to have puzzled a martinet like Raglan, and
enough to have driven 'Aulic councilors mad.—
But the officers and men of the northern army
put their trust in the man who could not make
a mistake. "Where he put na," they would say
to each other, "we are going in, and we are dead
sure to whip the rebs—sure." It is the spirit in
which battles are won, and Republics saved.
His staff is smaller than that of any brigade
commander In the service. He denies himself
and his staff the luxury of a house. He bas few
er servants, fewer horses, than the regulations
allow. He has just refused the commission of
l'iltijorJelteneral in the regn'ar army on the
ground that such exalted rank should be kept In
reserve by the authorities until the war is over,
when the government will be able to compare
and judge men's services with greater coolness.
As he comes plunging along, we see the man's
character in the way in which he rides. The
road is occupied by a brigade In motion '
• he
tarns ihtnitte fields, dashing through brush and
briar, wading stream, floundering into swamps,
so long as these will yield a way ; and when
tamed to take the road again, you see that he
pulls up ble bnrse and halts until the brigade
bas passed. The smooth path, he sari, is for the
men on fobt. Men with rifles and kits, not the
general and his staff, have the first right to the
road. Can we wonder at the trust in which
sharp lawyers and solid farmers follow such a
man t One day, looking back, the men saw a
line of bridges in their rear in flames "Guess,
Charley," says a trooper, "Sherman has set the
river on fire." To which Charley answers,
"Well, if he has, reckon on it's all right."
By marching through the heart of South
Carolina, instead of skirting the sea, Sh e rm an
pierced the State in its most vital part it was
the boast of Davis and Breckinridge that the
sea was not necessary to the South. The porta
might be given up, and the power would be
stronger fur the loss. Their strength lay Inland.
Well, Sherman marched inland; shutting up one
(=federate general in Augusta, another in
Branchville, a Wird in Charleston, and a fourth
in Columbia. These generals never knew where
the blow would fall, and it never fell whore
they thought it likely to do. As Sherman mov
ed up northward, leaving Charleston on his
right, Beaurezard was confident that he would
have to assault Branchville. a great railway cen
tre, and a post from which be could equally me
nace Charleston and Angnsta. Branchville was.
accordingly, strengthened with works, and oc
cupied in force, But Sherman cut the railway
linets" turned the place, and compelled the ene
my to abandon their works and guns. -Branch
vide passed, and Columbia gained, Charleston
fell of itself,—aa Sherman had foretold Wan
nab.
Sherman's genius comes out brightly to the
war. He was not one of the fighting generals.
When it was necessary to bit hard, as at Avery&
boro and Bentonville, no Hooker, no Hood
could strike more vigorously than he; but the e ,
peculiarity of his march is that it was a great
campaign conducted without a great battle. If
it be the highest praise of guilds that It produce

chorus, took up again the strain, the assembled
thouaands catching the melody. joined In with
"down with the traitors, Op with the stars," till
the whole e.anopy of heaven shook as ten thou
sand voices swelled the chorus of
"We'll rally round the deg, boys,
Rally °Deena-Din,.
Shouting the battle•my of Freedom.'
History recalls to us many instances of the
Immense power that &stirring song has wielded
In inspiring soldiers on the battle-field. On the
night before the grand charge which won for
the combined forces of France and England the
victory at Sebastopol, while the soldiers were
sitting in the trenches, knowing that on the
next morning they were to march over a route
which would be.a journey of death to many, a
voice through the stillness of the night was
heard singing the beautiful song of "Annie Lau
rie." One after another gradually joined in the
song, till finally from all that corps of Highland
er* was heard rising the plaintive though earn
est pledge, "And fur Bonnie Annie Laurie,
lay me down and dee." They all knew that on
the morrow many would lie down in death be
fore the murderous fire of the Redan, yet each
pledged himself to win honor for his bonnie
Annie and for the cross of St. Andrews; and the
history of the next day shows bow well they re
deemed their pledge. On the same day the sol
diers of France, marching up the steeps of Mala-
koff, recoiled before its deadly sheets of flame.—
In vain their officers begged them to sustain their
own honor and that of the imperial eagles. In
vain they appealed to that love of glory which
has so often made the French army victorious
A murmur arose among them for their song,
which had been proscrihed. Louder grew the
call, till finally there uprose the shout from the
whole army, "Give us the Marseillnisa." And
what ambition, honor, and fidelity failed to do.
was accomplished by the power of a sone. For
up through flame and smoke, End volleys of
balls they rushed over the walls of the Malakoff
and through the breachus, while above the roar
of the cannon and the din of battle, rose the
sublime chorus, from ten thousand voices, of the
war song of Rouget de 'lsle. This was grand.
magnificent! but sublimer far waa that terrific
charge up the steeps of Lookout Mountain and
into the clouds. of the volunteers of the army of
the Republic, singing as they scaled the earth
works and rugge.l sleeps,
"Yes, we'll "By round the Flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle-cry of Freedom !"
The author of that song has deserved and re
ceived the personal thanks of many of our Gen
erals for giving the inspiration which aroused
and sustained the enth ueiasm of our soldiers on
many a hard fought field.

Moorish ladies are married at or about the age
of thirteen; and 1 was informed of some curi
ous particulars by an English lady, who was
present at one of these weddlnett. the family on
both sides being of the highest Moorish birth
The young lady was very lovely, and under the
age 1 have mentioned above. The company of
ladies—beaded by her mother—amounted in all
to over sixty, among whom were my Informant
and a few rrench ladies, surrounded the bride.
whose bead was in a sack, and led her, a few
hones after dark, to her future home, where
they were received by the mother and female
relations of the bridegroom.
The poor child, weeping bitterly, was then un
dressed and carried by her attendants !Moe bed.
where she was commanded to sleep an hour or
two while they ate supper The European la
dies were served apart with coffee, cake, and
confectionary ; while the Moorish ladies were
closely seated in a circle on a low cushion, and
on their knees a long napkin which was extend
ed round the whore party ; in the centre was a
Port of low, circular table, which moved on a
pivot, and on which the slaves put one dish at a
time, out of which each lady took a mouthful
with her fingers, and with a alight touch made
the dish revolve to her next neighbor.
The dishes succeeded each otherto the number
of twenty, when the whole was carried off, and
at eleven o'clock a slight refreshment was taken
to the bride, after which the ceremony of dress
leg her commenced. Each lady present was re
quested to take Filing alight part in this import
ant operation, and my English friend assisted in
plaiting one of an immense number of little
tresses, into which her long black hair was di
vided, with a diamond trembling on the end of
each. Her' face was then enameled, a star of
gold leaf fixed on each check, as well as on her
chin, and on the tip of her nose. RANCE, of finest
pearls were hung around her neck, increasing in
size until the lower row reached her waist.
which were the size of small nuts, Her dress
was of cloth of silver, with the usual muslin
rummers and a sort of crown of diamonds on
her head.
By two in the morning all was ready and the
room prepared, when the finishing stroke vras
pnt to the whole by gumm'eg down her eyes,
which were not to be opened until the following
morning, when she might ace her husband, and
not till then. At two o'clock the slave introduc.

teen, dressed In a pale grey silk, profuset• ornn.
mooted with silver and diamonds. He took his
place under a canopy, to which the bride was
also guided by her mother and placed by his
side. His mother then placed a few drops of
mite water Into the bride's band, which the
bridegroom drank, and then her mother poured
also a few drops into his hand and guided it to
her daughter's month, and she drank it; upon
which they were pronounced man and wife, and
the company immediately separated.
re Good accounts are received respecting
the workings of the New York State inebriate
Asylum at Binghamton. N. Y., under the direc
tion of Dr. Turner, which has been opened for
the reception of inmates about a year. Dr. Gar
ritsein says:
The doubts which, In the minds of many, at,
tached to the possibility of success in the man
agement of an Institution for this unique pur
pose are being rapidly dissipated,lnd 'the devo
tion, industry, and intelligent perst•verrinoe of
its noble minded founders are now being re
warded by the restoration to their families, to
society, and to themselves, of many of the moat
intelligent and brightest minds among our kl•
low citizens. Men who are neither criminals,
nor lunatics, nor idiots, but'who, in consequence
of evil associations in early life, or insufficient
strength to resist the enticement of the degrad
ing cup, have been reduced to conditions paral
lel thereto, are here brought to see the errors of
their practices, and to feel that they can be re
stored to lives of temperance, virtue, and useful
nes&

upon Mr. Stanton to get him to subscribe, and
mentioned as an inducement thereto, that the
