TO NI ATTE SUPERIOR CIDER. The apples should be ripe, cleaned when picked, aod put in a bin and there remain for aeveral days until they become mellow, then ground (not too fine so as to become pulpy ; then laid up in a cheese with rye straw, the straw dampened with water. Af ter the cheese is laid up let it stand about twelve hours before pressing, then press gradually. Put the juice in clean whiskey barrels. After the cheese is pressed out,put the barrels containing the cider in a cr.ol place, upon blocks,for working or fermenting; be particular to keep the barrels full while the fermentation is going on. After the fer mentation is done, which can be told by a coarse froth on the bungbole, rack or drain off the cider (not disturbing the barrel), and 1 put the barrels containing it in a cellar or | cool place ; take out the hung and let the ci der again work, the barrels to be kept full while working. When done working, again rack off and put in clean barrels as before. It is necessary to rack three times repeat ing the same process, and when the racking and fermentation is all gone through withal e barrels must be put on blocks about six inches from the floor, drain out of each bar rel one gallon of cider, aod put into the barrels ooe gallon of St. Cruz rum ; and a piece of codfish, as big as a medium s'zed man's baud ; then bung up tight and let it re main for thirty days or longer before us ing. R. F. J. EGGS BY WEIGHT—A dozen of eggs is a little more definite quantity than a dozen of potatoes, but still a very indefinite quantity. A dozen of eggs from IN tie, scrawny, ill kept chickens, sell for the same price as a dozen from well kept fowls, while the difference be tween them is as great as the disparity be tween the hens that produce them. Purchas ers in tha market take tbeii chances for large aad ■•nail, and each gets a fair average. But it is net so with producer*, and here is where the injustice occurs. The man who raises choice fowls, aod keeps them in good condi tion, sells large, rich eggs for the same price per dozen thet is paid for others oDe third smaller. This operates as a aiscouragment to raising good hens, and see premium on pooroaes. Jk writer in the Canada Farmer insists that eggs should be sold by tbe pound as well as meat and butter, and gives the difference in tbe average weight of a doses eggs from dif ferent breeds of fowls, as follows : Common fowle 1 lb. 6 oz Spanish.. ..i ....lib. 9* oz. Grey Dorking 1 lb. 10 oz. Gray Dorking and Brahma 1 lb. 14 oz. Gray Dorking and Cochin 1 lb, oz - Tke are the difference in tho average weight from different breeds. Should we compare the poorest specimens of tbe poorest breuAfi With the best specimens of tly best we would find a difference of fully one-half and yet all are told at tke same price. We buy and sell nothing at eo loose an adjust ment of quantity to price as eggs, except when we buy wood by the load. Even ap pies aDd peaches, when sold by number,have the priee adjusted to the sisa. But big t r little, an egg is an egg.—Wieccesin Farmer. . VARNISH FOR SHOES. —It is a bad plan to grease the upper leather of sboes for the pur pose of keeping them soft ; it rots the leath er and admits tbe dampness more readily.— It is better to make e varnish thus : Put half a pound of gum shellac broken up in small pieces, in a quart bottle or Jug, cover it with alcohol, cork it tight, and put it on a shelf ia.a warm place, shake it well aeveral times a day, tbeD add a piece of gum camphor as large as a hen's egg, shake it well, and in a few hours shake it again and add one ounce of lamp-black. If tbe alcohol is good, it will be dissolved in three days, then shake and use. If it gets too thick, add alcohol—pour out two or three teaspoousful in a saucer,and apply it with a small paint brush. If the materials were all good it will dry in about five minutes, aud will be removed only by wearing it off, giving a gloss almost equal to patent leather. Tbe advantage of this preparation above others is, that it does not strike into tbe leather and make it bard, but remains on the surface and yet excludes the water almost perfectly. The same preparatii uis admira ble for harness and does not soil when touch ed as lamp-black mixtures do. CROUP. —Wring a linen cloth—cotton will do,but linen is preferable—out of cold water, fold it as to make several thicknesses, and place it upon the child's throat and ches',then fold a dry flannel aod wrap carefully over it Warm the child's fee' with stones if neces-. sary, aod cover with plenty of bed clothes, aDd let it go to sleep ; you cannot perceive when it wakes that it has even a cold. It acts like a charm. BUCEWHEAT GRIDDLE CAKES. —One quart buttermilk, ODe teaspoonful soda, one table spoonful of salt; if wanted daily for breakfast make a batter and put in half a cup of yeast; then add tho flour and water to them each evening, and they can be ready all winter. PILES, —Dip a small piece of lint in tbe oil of juniper, and apply it to the parts twice a day, keeping it on for ao hour each time. this treatment will effect a cure iu from two to six applications.
