Volume 32 tarnonti ponochold. Pickling Cucumbers. A correspondent of the Masschuesetts Pliughman sends a recoipe for pickling encumbers which belays hebas used for many years. He says:- -There may be simpler methods, but none, 1 am sure, that can be followed by happier results. Pickles made this way will keep hard and good the year through, and are always of a beautiful green color. Some say that cucumbers for picklffig ought never to be washed or rubbed. as it remoires an outside coating and irn- Pairs the vitality of the pickles. How true this may be, I have never determined by experiment; but, to be on the safe side. we never wash them (unless very dirty,) the successive scaldings cleaning them Sufficiently. Place the cucumbers in an earthen jar and pour over them a weak brine. scalding hot, and let them stand in it 24 hours, when it must be turned off, scalded, skimmed, and turned on again to remain another day, and scalded again. Now they must be freshened by pouring over them hot vinegar, and let them stand a few days, when they must be put into cold cider vinegar, adding horse-radish root and any kind of whole species that one prefers. Stir them ac casionally to prevent scum from rising.— Many house-keepers labor with the mis taken idea that pickle vinegar must be scaldel every time a white scum 'rises.— It does no good what-ever, only weakens the vinegar, and eventually kills-it out right.- And just here let uTh'-alriiques tiiin. Why does the scalding of vinegar lessen its strength ? Is toot -the killing of those minute creatures to which good cider vinegar owes its vitality the cause ? Broom-Corn In Kentucky. A correspondent of the Sun, Nicholas• rifle, Ky.' thus gives his experience with this crop In 7886 I pat in a crop of broom-corn, it then being worth about 8250 per ton. When my crop came in I began to manu facturer brooms. For the first hundred dozen I realized 8-1 per dozen, and before I could get the • same number again manufactured they were worth only 81.75 per dozen, and at this price they con tinued through the year 1867 and 1868. In 1869 I realized 8350 per ton. which paid me very well. In 1670 I moved ti Jefferson county, near Louisville, expect ing to get rich in the business. I plan ted 150 acres, and lost about 82,000 on the crop. From this you can see that the price ot broom corn fluctuates even more than that of any other crop that is raised by the farmer. Broom corn is something that has to be worn out, not consumed. 'like pork, Indian corn, or wheat. Tliere was enough broomcorn raised in 1870 to supply the market four years. This is another 1870, as thrwe be not less than two tuousand acres of coril raised in Kentucky. Broom starts off at *l5O per on ; let us see what it will be worth when the crop of .f 875 comes in. Watering 3111 k to Gel the Cretan It is well known that milk set in the usual way, although it throws up a good ly percentage of cream, does mot yield up all the fat in the milk, because the skim med milk, on being subjected to analysis is found to contain a small percentage of butter, notwithstanding it had ou being set thrown up the cream very perfectly. Experiments have been made in adding water to milk to facilitate the rising of the cream have shown that more cream is obtained: Thus a specimen of milk wan divided into two portions. One portion was set ter cream, and in seven hours ridded seven per cent, of cream. The other portion was na:l.xed with an equal volume of water auffllie diluted milk set for cream. The (Willed milk in seven hours gave 5 per cent. of cream, or 13. per cent. more cream than it should have i'ielded if watering made no difference. It way not be advisable, however, to use the water in this way on all occasions for getting up the cream, since water added to milk hastens the acidity of the liquid, which in warm weather should be guard ed Care or Horses In Spring, A subscriber, Licking County, Ohio, I was Mange taught to keep horses up, in the spring, on• dry feed, until the 'spring work was done,for fear they would dot eat their feed, if turned out, and Would therefore fall off in flesh. But for the last fon: years, when we began work in the spring, I have given my horses a run of an hour or more every day, even when the grass was well started,and have found that they feel better, and keep in better flesh. than under the old ray: The grass'keeps the bowels open, and the roll ing is the natural method of currying. I keep two horses only—combined weight, 2,150 pounds—yet they do all the work on a farm of ISO acres. Food for Mares During Gestation In answer to a correspondent; wilke's spirit says:—we consider good oats and guod hay the safest and best food for inar.-s during gestation. No brantnashes, corn meal, carrots, or other vegetables should be allowed as they are apt to dis turb the bowels, and induce colic. Oat staw is highly objectionable, airing to its tendency to accumulate in the bowels and produce indigestion. There is no better diet than good bay and oats given in sufficient quantities to keep the horse in a vigorous condition, and give him suf ficient regular exercise, to prevent his becoming too fat.

As I came 'wandering down Glen Speen, Where the braes aro green and grassy, With my light step I overtook weary.footed She bad one bundle on her back, Another in her hand, And she walked as one who was full loth To travel from the land. Quoth ,I, "My bonnie lass"—for atm Mai:lair of flowing gold, And dark brows eyes and dainty limbs, Right pleasant to behold— "3ly bonnie lass, what aileth, thee, On this bright summer day, To travel sad and shoeless thus Upon the stony way Y "I am fresh and strong, and stoutly shod, And thou art burdened so ; March lightly now, and let me bear The bundles as we go." "No, no," she said, "that may nOt be, What's mine is mine to bear ; Of good or ill, as God may will, I take my portioned share," "But you have two and I have none ; One burden give to we ; I'll take the bundle tram thv back, That heavier seems to be." "No, no," she said, "this, if you will, That holds—no band but mine May bear Its weight from dear Glen Speen Cross the Altantle brine" "Well, well ! but tell me what mly be Within that precious load Which thou dost bear with such fine care ...Ilong, the dusty road ? "Belike it is some present rare From triend In parting hour ; Perhaps, as prudent maidens wont, Thou vilest with thee thy dower." She dropped her head, and with her hand She gave a mournful wave, ' "Oh, do not jest, dear sir,et is Turf from my mother's grave !" spoke no word ; we sat and wept By the roadside together ; No purer dew on that bright day Was dropped upon the heather. • - - The Old Man With the Saws On a Congress street car the other eve ning was a very quiet lot of passengers, among them a maii'about sixty-five years aid, having four or filie hand—saws under his arm. apparently a saw•filer. Opposite the old man sat a woman with a young babe in her arms, and presently a br, ad grin covered the old fellow's face and be noded to the child and said : "I never loved anything as I love chil dren! I can hardly keep from biting his little ears!" He waited a moment and then asked "How old is that beautiful child, mad am ?" "Eight months," she replied. "Only eight months? Why, I've seen children twenty-five years old who didn't know as much as that child does! I had a child drowned in a bar'l once, and you don't know how it floored me!" He looked around the car for a mom ent and then said, reading from the card: "Change to the amount of $2 will be furnished by the driver. Well that's lib— eral enough, He hasn't offered me any yet, but I suppose old customers, will be served first." ,The driver counted noses, saw that he wes one fare short, and he jingled the bell. "Are we near some station ?" asked the old man, standing up and looking out. He eat down after awhile, looked around, and, his eye falling upon the ba• by, he asked of the mother: "Couldn't von let rue hold him a little while? See film look at me! I'll bet to dollars he thinks I'm his father!" Sbe refused to trust the infant off her knee, and the old man's face grew sad and he sighed as he said: "Just think or it—that innocent child has got to be buried in: - theround and be eaten up by worms, like \the rest of us!" He wiped his nose on one of the saw handles, held his hat in his hand and his eye catching a sign on a grocery he ex— claimed : "Sweet milk for sale here! That makes me tnink. madam—do you ''bring that child up on the bottle ?" Her face grew very red, and she made no reply. The old fellow looked his saws over, one by one, laid them down, and walking to the front end of the car he picked up a basket containing meat and asked : "Does any one own this meat ?" A woman made a motion to signify that it was her property, and he uncov ered the basket and called out "Pork chops and a small piece of veal People who want to eat veal can gnaw, away, but / don't want any ! What are pork chops a pound, madam ?" She did not answer, and the man pick ed up his saws, and asked : "Does any one here know the name of the man who invented saws?" There was no answer, and he pulled open the car door and continued: "Yes, I, do love children. I was a child once myself, but I didn't have any fon." As he stood on the platform he went on: "It will he just like me to fall down when I step off, hut of course I caol stay on this car forefer. Well, goodbye. everybody, and pleasant dreams to you." He stepped off the car, slipped and fell flat in the ditch, while his saws flew in' every direction. As thecar passed on he was heard saying: "Th . ey ought to have a machine tollft people off the cars." • An assessor asked a woman how many chickens she had, and doubting her word proceeded to count them.
