We Invite rommunlfntlons from nil persons who are interested in matters jir.iperly beloUKlug to tuiadtf pi tiucut. Cream instead of Butter. A housewife writing for tlie New York "Tribune" proposes virtually to abolish the churn. fSliesnys: "It would be well to train a family from the outset to regard butter as an Incidental or lux ury, rather than a necessity. The manufacture of it Is one of the hardest and most time-consuming ttts,ks that a farmer has to perform. Morever, with all the work It lu vol ves,hutter adds less to the health, and sustenance of the family than would the eating of the cream that goes Into the making of It. Where one physician advises the eating of but ter, a thousand recommend the con sumption of cream. I think no one will dispute the statement thatof cream and butter eaters the former enjoy the best digestion, the best health and have the finest complexion. Then, why work one's self to death for worse than naught? Why not eat milk and cream instead of turning it, into butter? Good bread is good enough without the addi tion of a condiment to make it palatable; and, eaten with sweet cream, what la more delicious?" Lampblack. One of the largest establishments for the manufacture of lampblack is at Petrolia, Pa. The method of production Is remarkable. The flames of several thousand gas jets are made to impinge upon sheets of slate, on which the smoke or fine carbon is deposited, just 89 a piece of glass is smoked when held over a candle flame. When a sufficient deposit of the smoke has been formed on the slate, it is scraped off, packed, and sent to market. The gas which supplies this lamp black comes from the ground near the works. Besides its oil wells, Petrolia is celebrated for its wonderful gas wells, which furnish inexhaustable supplies of fuel for steam engines, healing, cooking, etc. From Petrolia to Pittsburg there is an oil pipe line by which oil is driven to market by force pumps, operated by steam power ; tlie boilers being heated by gas supplied by one of the gas wells. We almost wonder that the Petrolia people do not introduce the use of gas engines and thus dispense with the use of steam boilers. Horse Stables. Before cold weather come9 on, see that the horse stables are made comfort able. Nine farmers out of ten never make any change from winter to sum mer, or from summer to winter. Have the stables tight below, protecting the legs and body from cold draughts, but see that proper ventilation is secured above. Provide plenty of litter. Cut straw is the best, and now with cheap horse power at command, every farmer can cut enough straw in an hour to bed his horses for several weeks. It makes nice bedding and nice manure. Good Advice. This isn't meant forany of our readers, of course. We simply insert these eight lines as they are quite to the point, and will be just the thing to show to some of your neighbors: Id speaking of another'! faults, Pray dou't forget your own ; Remember, those with bomea of glass .Should never throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do But talk of others' sin, 'Tli better we commence at home, And from VuU point begin. 63" As a rule the French bread is always sweet and good, and two things contribute in a great degree to this that is, the manner and form of baking. They never make a thick loaf ; no mat ter what the size or shape, it is always thin, and more than two-thirds crust, and they bake their bread until it is perfectly cooked. In baking so long and having so much crust, there is a peculiar sweetness given which can be attained in no other way. Cg"In England they are adopting a horse-shoe made out of cowhide, and known as the Yates shoe. It is com posed of three thicknesses of cowhide compressed in a steel mould, and then subjected to a chemical preparation. It is claimed that it lasts much longer and weighs only one-fourth as much as the common iron shoe. Rye Minute Puddings. Heat milk to the boiling point, salt to taste, and stir in gradually rye flour to make a thick mush. Cook about fifteen minutes, and eat with sugar and cream. This we know to be good, and it recalls pleasant recollections of early home life. KS" Cows have a great liking for celery, and in Austria the leaves are fed to them, cut and mixed with bran mash, and are said to produce a better quality of milk than any other feed. Thb Post Whittirr call It ' a complete suc cess." Act upon the render tike tnnlo. The editor! at department Is especially strong.

It m purpose and metuod w ill bctli.'Hanie us iu the pant: To pr-Htmt all tlie news in a readable Bhin-p, and to toll the truth tlmuKh the lieaveni fall. THE BUN ban been, in, and will continue to be, in dependent ut everybody and everything mive the truth audit own cnnvirtioim of duty. Thnt in the only nol le. y an honest newHpnper need have. Thnt it the policy which has won for thin newspaper the confidence, and friendship ot a wider conHtitueney than was ever en Jfyed by any other American Journal. THE WUN is the newspaper for the iwople. It ianot for the rich man arainnt tho poor man, ov for the poor man awainst the rich man, put it necks to do equal jus tire to all interests in the community. It is not the or Kan of any person, class, ect or party. There need be no mystery about its loves and hates. It is for tlie hon est man against the rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as awainst tho dishonest Republican, and for ihe honest Republican as against the dishonest Democrat. It does not take its cue from the utterances of any politician or political organization. It trivet its mipport unreservedly w hen men or measures are in nureement with tho Constitution and with the princi ples upon which this Republic was founded for tins people. Whenever the Constitution and constitutional principles are violated as in the nutraweoua conspira cy of lHTti, by which a man not elected was placed iu the President's ofliee, where he still remains it. sneak out for the riirht. That is THE HUN'S idea of ind-pen. deuce. In this respect there will be no change in its pm'-Tamme for 1H79. The fSnn has fairly earned the hearty hatred of ras cals, lramls, humbuirn of all sorts and sizes. It hopea to deserve that hatred not less in the year 1H79, than in 1H78. l77, or any year irons by. The (Sim will continue to shine of the wicked with uumit tinted briKhtnesn. While the leaaona of the past should be constantly kept before the people, Tbp (Sun does not propose to make itself in lHfl a magazine oi ancient history. It is printed for the men and woman of to-day, whose con cern is chiefly W'ith the affaire of to-day. It ha both the disposition and the abilty to afford its readers the promptest, fullest, uud most accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To this end the resources belontfintr to well-eatablitihed pros, perity will be liberally employed. The present disjointed condition of parties in this country, and the uncertainty of the future, lend an extraordinary significance to the events of the cumin year. The discussions of the press, the debates and acts of OoiiKTesn, and the movements of the lerdera in every section of the Republican will have a direct bear iiiMron the Presidential election of 1880 an event which must be reu-arded with the most anxious interest by every patriotic American, whatever his political ideas or allegiance. To these elements of interest may lie added the propility that the Democrats will control both houses of Comrress, the increasing feblenesa of the fraudulent Administration ,and thespreadandstrenK'th euiiiK everywhere of a healthy abhorauce of fraud in any form. To present with accuracy and clearness tlie exact situation In each of its varying phases, and to expound, according to its well-kuown methods, the pn uciplee that should rnide ns through the labyrinth, will be an imiortaut part of The ttnn' work for 179.
