KILLING WKKDS EN RICH K* THK SOIL.
—This is the key-note to good farming.
Most of our soils abound in lataul plant
food. Stirring the soil, acd exposing it
to the atmosphere, favors de.Nunposition,
and renders the plant-final available—
in other wools, makes the land rich.
The fall of the year is the best time to
do much work of this kind. And the
earlier we can get at it, the belter.
WMDDIXG CAKE.— Four pounds ot
flour, four of butter, eight of sugar, one
ounce of citron, five of currants, two of
raisins, one ounce of nutmeg, four lem
ons, one jint of cream, thirty egg*, one
half spoonful of saleratu*. This will
make nine loaves iu two-quart pan*.
Work the batter and sugar to a cream ;
add the eggs, beaten separately ; then
spice, fruit, cream, saleratus, and last of
all, the flour.
FOR A CorOH. —Take two ounces sar
aaparill* bark, one ounce of sassafras
chips, two ounces of Spanish chips, one
quarter of an onnca of gentian root, and
two tablespoonfuls of linseed. Let this
be simmered in three pint* of water un
til reduced to a quart Then strain it
and put it up. For a dose take a table
spoonful three times a day. In about a
week, if not cured, increase the dose to
a wineglaasfnl three times a day.
To PICKLE OTSTEKS. —Take two and
a half quarts of oysters, with a full
pint of their liqnid. * Get a pint and a
naif of vinegar, two tablespoonfuL of
salt. one table*po<>nful each of mace, al
spice ami white pepper, and a teaspoon
ful of doves. Put the vinegar, salt and
liqnid on to boil, and when it cornea to
a boil skim it. Then add the spices,
give it another boil, and afterwards pat
in the oysters. Cook over a quick fire,
and serve cold.
To FKT FISH ECONOMICALLY. —I re
commend the way my cook always
docs them. She uses the same lard or
dropping many times by doing as fol
lows : As soon as the fish are taken out
of the pan. poor out all the clear part of
of the lard or dripping into a basin, and
wipe out the thicker part which remains
at the bottom of the pan. A frying-pan
should never be cleaned like ordinary
saucepans, or it is sure to burn. The
same lard or dripping will in this army
do a great many times.
Crams IT CORK.— The corn crop, at
least so far a* the fodder is concerned,
has reached a critical period. A frost
may occur now at any time. Not an
hoar's warning may be given. The mere
change of wind during the nfght may
bring about such a change of tempera
ture that the fields may be whitened
with a frost any morting. This would
be a serious damage to the corn fodder.
The corn should now be watched care
folly, and as soon as it is all glared it
should be ent up, when a day or two of
drying would place it in advance of any
danger from frost. It depends much on
the successful gathering of fodder crop*,
whether hay will advance to an exorbi
tant price during the winter or not. We
notice reports of specnlators being al
ready in the field securing hay at an
advanced price. But "to he forewarned
is to be forearmedand we do not
think that it will be for want of sufficient
warning if farmers are caught with in
adequate supplies of feed. There are
so many resources now opened to the
energetic farmer whereby he may miti -
gate the inconvenience of a short hay
crop, that it is only by neglart that he
ahonld be canght with short supplies.
Aiid the most effectual precaution is to
carefully harvest and economize bis corn
fodder. With short crops of staple arti
cles, some advance in price i* to he
expected; and if there is an a 1 vantage
to be secured by the fanner as an oIM
for reduced quantity, it will be in this
increased price. It will be a sore disap-
E ointment then to be obliged to feed
ay that might have been, by careful
management, spared for sale by tbe use
of a substitute, and to lose by want of
foresight the chance of securing this
advanced price.— Hearth ami Horn'.
VINEGAR MAKlNG. —Vinegar is pro
duced by tbe transformation of alcohol
to acetic acid. The alcoholic mixture
must not be too strong, else the trans
form ition is retarded, or too weak, else
it will putrefy. The higher the temper
ature and the greater the quantity of
air brought in a given time in contact
with the cider or other alcoholic mix
ture, the quicker is its transformation to
vinegar. If. however, the temperature
is above 100 degrees, alcohol is wasted
by evaporation. Nearly all ihe vinegar ]
sold in the markets is made by what is
known as the qnick process, but as this j
method requires considerable experience (
and some expensive apparatus, it ia not
adapted to household manufacture. By
this process cider or other alcoholic mix
tures are converted into good vinegar in
from three to ten hours, during which it
must drip through twenty feet of wood
shavings, corn-cobs, stems of grapes or
other similar substances, and a constant
dranght of heated air passing through
the shavings, keeping up a fermentation
and coming in contact with every drop
of the mixture, completely changes the
alcohol to acetic acid, and "the more fer
ment present the quicker is tbe vinegar
made or the souring process completed. |
For family use one barrel ia usually
enough for a year. When cider ia uulri'c
it is easy to have pure,healthful vinegar,
but even then it is notalways to be fonnd.
It should be borne in mind that air,
heat and fermentation are necemary to
acetification. If you have vinegar at j
cider-making time and fill the cask with
new cider and leave the bung open, the j
new cider will produce the ferment and '
the old vinegar will change the whole in I
six weeks by keeping moderately warm, i
If no old vinegar is at band to start with,
add ten gallons of pure rain or river
water to thirty gallons of cider, put in a
cask painted black and let it stand in the
sun with the bung hole open or only
tloeed by a patch of canvass tacked over
it to keep out insects. To make from
common whisky add it to pure soft water
in the proportion of one pint of whisky
to one gallon of hot water, which should
be poured while hot into a barrel to fer
ment. There should be a cask also for
storage, and every two or three weeks, or
as needed, a few gallons may be drawn
oat and added to the generating or fer
menting barrel tiorghum syrup er mo*
lasses may k need ia pkm •/ tbe whisky
if desired.
WIFE AS A MORAL PHUSIEG KNIFE.—
A judicious wife is always snipping off
from ber husband's moral nature little
twigs that are growing in the wrong di
rection. She keeps him in shape by
continual pruning. If you say anything
silly, she will affectionately tell you so.
If you declare you will do some absurd
thing, she will find means of prevent
ing you from doing it. And by far the
chief part of all common sense there is
in this world unquestionably belongs to
woman. The wisest things which a mag
•omiuonly does are those which his wife
oonnsck him to do. A wife is the great
wielder of the moral pruning-knife, J

DimuHtcrra Zoos.— The German
town Telegraph remarks that " there is s
vast difference in the flavor of eggs.
Hens fed on clean, sound grain and kept
on a clean grass run. give much finer
flavored eggs than those that have ae
cess to stables and manure heaps and
eat all kinds of filthy food. Hens feed
ing on fish or onions flavor their eggs
accordingly—the same as cows eating
onions or cabbages, or drinking offensive
water, impart a bad taste to the milk and
butter. The richer the food the higher
the color of the egg. Wheat and corn
give the best color, while feeding on
buckwheat makes the eggs colorless, ren-
I dering them unfit for some confectionary

The Out otlou of Strikes.
There was recently a strike of ear
; pouters in Dublin. One of the strikers
wrote to Mr. John Stuart Mill for ad
i vice. In his letter he stated that oue of
the employer* had offered to re-engage
' his men at the old rate of five shilling* a
a day and a participation in the profits
of the establishment, guaranteeing that
I the increase of their wage* would bo
greater than the sixpence a day demand
ed by the trade. He was of the opinion,
however, that the men would not under
stand this system, aud therefore would
j not accept it. Mr. Mil! wrote in reply :
j "It is difficult for any one who is uot
on the spot und acquainted with local
, feelings aud the characters of individuals
to advise in the matter in Which you oak
mv opinion. My impression ia, how
lever, iu favor of trying the experiment
of the participation of the work-people
in profits—what is now called industrial
! partnership. That system appears to
me both a great improvement in itself
and the road to something still better
hereafter. Y'on say that the terms offer
id would far exceed the advance in
wages which has been demanded. If
this bo so, as a strike, when it does not
prove a failure, geuerully ends in a
compromise, this kind of compromise
1 seems to be the most favorable to the
operative." •

could not afford to bar grain at the arti
ficial prices produced by the excitement.
The owners of flouring mills were obliged
to suspend opeiatioua la-cause miliars
could not buy wheat at the prices theu
ruling, and sell flour at the price it would
lie likely to command when the flurry
caused tiy the corner should subside.
Country *hipi>er* who hail legitimately
sold tlieir grain to arrive in August,
, found themselves unable to reach the
market in time, owing to the pmmurr
existing for cars to bring in grain for
sale before the high price should disap
pear, and were obliged to lose twenty or
twenty flvte cents a bushel on their own
property, -as they could only fill their
contracts by purchasing wheat at au ex
orbitant jmee from the combination.
The qrsin business was also deranged iu
many other ways by this corner ; values
were unsettled, and the interests both of
producers snd consnmers seriously pre
judiced. The people of Illinois hive a
realizing sense of the mischievous effects
of flcQtitwt* operations in grain, and the
Legislature has passed laws prohibiting
sales without actual delivery, but they

Marriages F.xira>ri!lnarj.
The New York correspondent of the
. Chicago Journal says two rather novel
marriages hve recently been brought to
his attention. Not long ago the head of a
very old business firm in the metropolis
died—soon after the wife of the other
member of the firm was taken away by
death. The surviving widower with nine
unmarried children has now married the
surviving widow with seven unmarried
children. The firm is thus pertx-tnated
I in the family, and sixteen children are
| hrought iuto the family fold. Not long
ago a rich widower bordering on sixty,
' without children, married a widow a few
mih* up the Hudson River having thir
teen children, some of Uie older ones be
ing married. His wife died over thirty
years ago, and during that time ho kept
aloof from society, devoting himself cn
i tirely to business. When, therefore, he
was married into the bosom of a family
' all of whose members endeavored to
make it as agreeable and pleasant as pos
i sible for him, he experienced the most
Agreeable emotions, and became a decid
edly happy man. The other day one of
of his old acquaintances in New York
j jokingly asked him how it seemed, to lie
; surrounded with thirteen children, all
, drawing support from him. " I wish the
' Lord there were thirteen more of them,"
i was the immediate reply.
A LITTLE Hr.no.—Anecdote* of heroic

I The S'titt Ttm>-* tells a very nice story of
a shepherd lad, fourteen years of age", in
the Canton Orisons. On the Monte di
1 Campo the youthful shepherd fed his
flock, when nhuge bear made his appear
ance and unceremoniously began to feed
himself on that same flock. When he
had seized one of the finest sheep, the
: courageous boy begnn to beat him about
the head with his stick in order to drive
' him away. The infuriated beast turned
| upon his slender assailant determined
Ito finish his mntton on him. The youth
; turned and ran. and remembering that
there was not far off a gorge nearly 200
j feet deep, but so narrow that, he might
; dear it Dy a vigorous leap, started for it
i with bruin close at his heels. He reached
the edge of the ravine, and, by a despe
rate bound, landed wifely on the other
side, while the stupid brute behind him,
not noticing his danger, stumbled head
long to the bottom. The l>oy descending
the gorge, found his enemy disabled by
his bruise*, and soon dispatched him by
beating out his brains with stone*.
TicKKi-orLEAvx Womx.-Nearly four
thousand female criminals are at. large in
: England, with tickets-of-leave. The tna
j jority live in London. A very large pro
portion consist* of hardened offenders.
; More than one is a murderess. Women
j who have been sentenced to death for
| murder, and whose sentence is after
j wards commuted into pensl servitude for
life, are not, as is commonly supposed,
removed forever from the scene of their
criminal exploits. After having served a
term of twelve years, and conducted her
self tb the satisfaction of the prison au
thorities, the oonvicted mnrdeross easily
obtains her tickrt-sf leave, and becomes
a free woman again. In one of the wost
ern and most fashionable districts of
London many hundreds of domestic ser
vants are ticket-of-leave women. Several
of them have run through the entire
scale of crime, from petty larceny up to
burglary and murder. Their employers
engage them with a full knowledge of
their antecedents. Strange to say, the
worst criminals are not unfreqnently
transformed into extremely good domes
tic servants.

to catch the pieces of tinilier as they

setiae enough to stick my hands in the
sand to prevent myself lieing drawn bark
again by Uie undertow. While I was
struggling in the aurf some one came to
arv assist nice and hrl|>ed me up on the
strand. I sank down completely ex
huuftted, being unable to stand, and sfter
a little recognized tlie first officer of our
ship a* the man who had helped me out
of the surf. I then learned that out of
the htimtier of men who went overboard
with the mast two hail succeeded in
reaching tlie shore—the captain's young
sou sud the first cook. During the day
tou more reached the shore, aud three
remained on tlie wreck until next day.
Wc at once set sbout constructing a
shelter with the trunks, barrels, planks,

shore, aud arranged a place to sleep. Ws
luul nothing to eat and no water to drink
all day, and there was none within reach;
but we found plenty of potatoes and tur
nips on the surf and with those we
qneuched our thirst. Next morning
going to the beach we found a Imrrel of
flour which was only slightly damaged.
This was secured.
During the night we had discovered a
light-house, and I, with three others,
started to get matches to light a Are, so
that we might he able to cook our food.
After walking along the lieach for about
! seven mile* we reached the light, where
we were kindly provided with dinner aud
matches. The lighthouse kee|>er had
givan us ample directions. On the morn

The violence of the storm had driven
tin- wraves over the Ix-ach iuto the lagoons,
and made the water brackish. I then
proposed that we should turn liack to get
a snpiilv of water, aud was followed by
Ave of the number. The others concluded
to continue up the lieach in hope of And

wre obtained water, and reached the
wreck hlhi it 1 o'clock at night. When

by the crews of wuae vessels wrecked

Maid aligbtly leading around the turn.

j stretch. Up the stretch they trotted
very evenlv, but the Maid 1.-ul by a
length, and steadily kept it to the end.
When the time waa announced, 2.201,
The spectator* seemed very much sur
prised.
On the second heat the start WB*
. effected without trouble, and the bell
sounded at tlie first effort. Both mares
trotted very fast to the quarter, but here
the pace was too hot for Lucy, and
*he slackened her ipivil. The Maid
w.ui dashing down the course like bgb*
niug. She ilrew round the quarter
pole. and flew away from the other like
a kite liefore the wind. It wa* evident
to all that Build was driving for time,
and instantly every neck was stretched
to catch his movement*. He bent down
in the sulky and encouraged the little
fiver by gentle words and manipulation
'of the reins. Goldsmith Maid and her
firing feet were eagerly watched a* she
swept into the home stretch. On she
came like a flying fawn, her driver never
casting his eve to the right or to the
left He was driving the mare for speed.
, not merely to win the heat He had
never touched her with his whip, never
called to her in a loud voice, but simply
let her slip along in her own way. She
[wnsed under the string with perfect
ease six lengths ahead of Lucy. As she
did so, a long, lank, lean luulger crosm-d

TKSTIMO DEATH.— Anew and very sim
ple method for distinguishing between
real and apiuxrent death lias hoen recent
ly discovered by M. Laborde. When a
-harp steel needle—not eased only with
steee— is driven into the tissues of a liv
ing man or animal, in a short time it
j loses its metallic lustre, and becomes
dim—or, in scientific language, becomes
! oxidized ; while a similar needle may re
main an hour or more in the tissues of a
dead subject without undergoing any
apparent change. Hence, the oxidation
or non-oxidation of the needle affords a
decisive proof whether death is real or
only apparent.
