agricultubb. Will it Fay to Steam Fodder’—Tak ing the word fodder Id its broadest sense, as any kind of food for granmlverous ani mals, we may say tnat it will always pay to steam or cook feed for swine, and often for cows in stables containing 25 bead or more, while for sheep and horses it will be of doubtful expediency, and usually not advisable under any circumstances. The cooking of feed for fattening swine is im portant as a matter of economy, that it will pay, even though done with little re gard to the saving of labor and fuel. On the other hand, to cook the feed for neat cattle with profit, not only should there be animals enough to make it pay,but the ra tions should b« so carefully planned, that that by mingling of palatable, with less relished and coarse fodder, a saving may be effected in that way. Besides tue ob ject for which the cattle are kept is an im portant factor to be considered in the feed ing. t * ' The flow of milk is increased by steam ing the fodder—the color of the butter is, however, injured. The same ration will prove more fattening, while, at the same time: there will be little or no waste, if the steaming is well managed. It is best to have the ste.nmed ration composed of a variety of feed, such as corn fodder, roots, hay, or oat straw, with bran and corn meal, or cotton seed, or linseed cake, or meat. The substitution of one kind of fodder or meal for another, gives variety and relish. The coarse fodder is cooked soft, and the flavor of the roots ard of the meal iiervades the mass, It is not likely that any of the small agricultural steamers can be made to economically cook the food for as many as 25 or 30 head of cattle. When a boiler of several horse power is employed to do other work, as pumping, thrashing, sawing wood, grinding, cutting hay, and corn fodder, etc., steam may be economically used for cooking fodder. Of this there can lie little doubt. The steam- box in which the fodder is placed for cook ng, if it is big enough, need not be filled oitener than twice a week, and if. as already intimated, every pains is taken in the operation to save in the items of labor and luel, steaming fodder for cattle will be profitable. Growing Yocnw Stock.—The most appropriate food for all kinds of young stock is the mother’s milk, and so soou as the young things can be induced to eat, other feed, grass, etc., they should be sup plied with giound feed, shelled corn, hay, grass and any other such feed, which being ted with the dam’s milk, makes the most satisfactory growth. The milk materially aids digestion, and thus it is that the lar ger quantity of food is consumed, which, with the milk, makes the finest possible growth of flesh, tone and muscle. It was this milk and shelled corn that made the famous big steer iu Missouri out of the scrub calf, and had that calf been a good high grade still better results would have been obtained with the milk feed and care of that calf. Good blood is important for the t eat rjsults. Never use any other than lull-blood sires should be the motto of every farmer. Then, with good stock, the .judicious care and treatment from the very lust wt ek of birth will bring satisfactory results in dollars and cents. The young farmer and stock raiser will find that successful treatment of young animals to secure health, thrift and vigor is the art that can hardly be too diligently investigated. The money value of stock, or the prout in raising stock, depends on knowing how to do it economically. Eco- uomy does not consist in cneap food, but in such as the animal, whatever its kind; will readily assimilate, and will give the liest returns in desirable growth, If the food is not right, no excess of quantity will make up for its deficiency in quality. Wa ter is indispensable and should be pure; impure and stagnant water ought not to be tolerated. The first few months of an animal’s life are the most important period in its existence to its owner. It it is ne glected and stunted, no subsequent treat ment can make good the injury done ex cept at a cost that lepresentsno ice insider- able extra sacrifice of tune, care and money. To get early lambs the rams should be place*l with ewe during the month of No vember. Where only one ram is used he should be taken out of the flock every evening and given a good grain feed of say a pint of oats and corn mixed, and put in a dry,comfortable ptace by himself for the night and have another feed of grain before be ng put with the flock next morning. If two rams are used they can be put into the flock alternate days, g’vmg each one a rest every alternate day. Where ft is in convenient to take the ram out of the flock tie should be fed erafn in a little box in the pasture, the attendant coaxing him up to his feed until he understands what he is to expect, and then staying with him uutil he has finished his grain, Hawks and owls prey upon rats, mice and other small animals, thereby keeping them in checK; while the crew prefers grubs, cutworms and carrion to any kind of food, and while they may occasionally rob a bird’s nest or pull up a little corn, they do a thousand acts of kindness to the farmer for every one that is injurious. So says the Sun, aud tfcc-e is a great deal of truth in it. Feaoh trees should have a mulch around the base and under the brunches. I n the spring peach trees should be well cultivated, and during the summer they should be cultivated nearly the same as corn. With good treatment the trees will live to double tbc age of those neglected. Mineral fertilizers show good results when applied to them. There is at present in a fence on the farm of Mr. David Itutt, in West Donegal township, a locust post that has the date 1781 cut in it. and was no doubt made in tnat year. Mr. Rutt's father, who was a a very old man, discovered the post when he was a small bay. It is well preserved, considering that it is over a century old. Farmers generally lay out too much work for the help they employ. Tne best rule is not to atiempt the cultivation of large areas, but to make the land produce the largest yields. If one acre of ground can be made to produce fifty bushels of wheat, that is far better than to appropn ate two or three or lour acres in the pro duction of the same quantities. For ltrv manure is nearly equal to gua no, and the value of the quantity annually derived fiom a single fowl is about fifty cents, fully oue-half the cost of the feed. Five hens will make about one barrel of manure, and on farms where large number of poultry are kept the importance of this fact should not be overlooked.Every ouuce should be awed. Potatoes, when dug in an unripe state, may be at times watery and not m to eat, but if spread as thinly as possible m a dry, airy place, they will in tune become as mealy as if left to ripen on ihe ground. Toads are valuable m a garden, but de structive in an apiary, as they devour the bees. DOMESTIC. • Oriental embroidery on thiu muslin is readily imitated at home by the use of pearl and irridescent beads and vel vet and plush leaves. The raised ap pearance of flowers, whether they are in beads or in embroidery, is gained by padding. Cotton wool is first sewn very firmly upon the outlined design, and then the beads are threaded in the numbers necessary and laid over the padding, always being placed in one di rection. Generally, in reprodneiug a flower in beads the center will be a pearl or cluster of smaller beads to rep resent the raised center of the natural flower. Drawn work is rapidly becom ing more and more fashionable. It is trying to the eyes bnt so fascinating that ambitsons workers are always elab orating designs in it. It consists of drawing out the threads of fine linen filling in the spaces thus obtained by stitches of every vanety. Recently, decoration for towels and napkins has taken this form : The threads are drawn out at regular intervals, aud then a design is worked in the interstice ia colored threads, either in herring-bone, botton-hole or chain stitch, or by simply overcasting. The most fascinating ba by blankets are made now in fine Sax ony flannel, embroidered iu raised des igns of flowers aud birds. The angels' heads which were so fashionable last year are scarcely seen ; they are re placed by a doable bordering of deli cately tinted blossoms, one end being folded over and worked in such a way that it can be placed outside the cover let. The latest style of all adds a mono gram in the center. Gold embroidery can never be satisfactoily carried oat upon the material to be decorated. The best and saf est way is to work the des ign upon linen or crash and then cut it out and applique it on the surface upon which it is required. Cleaning Carpets.—In ail our own experiments we have found nothing so sa,e and serviceable us bran slightly moistened, only very slightly, just suffi cient to hold the particles together, In this case it is not necessary to stop and clean the broom every few minutes. Sweeping the carpet after the bran has been sprinkled over it not only cleans the carpet and gathers all the dirt into the bran, but keeps the broom clean at tue same time, It too much dampened, aside from injuring the carpet, it makes the work harder, because the bran be comes very heavy if very damp. The bran should be sifted evenly over the floor, aud then the room swept as usual. The brau scours aud cleanses the whole fabric, very little dust is made while sweeping with it, aud scarcely any Bat tles on furniture, pictures, etc., after the work is accomplished, because every particle of dirt, thread, bits of paper, or lint is gathered up into the mass of bran that is being moved over the floor, and so thoroughly incorporated with it that it will not be easily separated. Carpets swept in this way retain very little dust as will be plainly demonstrated when ever they are taken up to be shaken. Head Cheese.—Clean the legs nicely and boil by themselves, so that when done there wiil be plenty of the liquor. Boil the upper head, minus ears, eyes and nose, with considerable lean meat, tenderloin is best, and when done re move bones and skin from head aud legs; chop the lean; salt and pepper to suit taste; add the liquor the legs were boil ed in, aud last, nut not least, a teacup ful of vinegar and a teacnpful of catsup to every gallon. When thoroughly cold it can be cut out iu slices. Cream Oysters.—Fifty shelled oys ters, one quart of sweet cream, butter, salt and pepper to taste. Put the cream aud oysters in separate kettles to heat, the oysters in their own liquor, and let them come to a boil; when sufficiently cooked, skim; take them out of the liq uor aud put them into some dish to keep warm. Put the cream aud liquor to gether. Beason to taste aud thicken with powdered crackers. When thick, stir in the oysters. Apple Minor Pie,—Two pounds of apples pared and chopped, three-fourths pound of beef suet, one of currauts; oue-half raisins seeded and chopped; one-half sultana raisins, one-quarter citron cut in shreds, oue tablespoonful cinnamon, one teaspoonfal cloves, one of mace, one tablespoonful allspice, two pounds of browu sugar, half pint best brandy, a glass of wine, two teaspoon- fuls of salt Toast.—To prepare toast suitable for invalids, cut stale bread in slices half an inch thick, and turn off the crust; then hold it far enough away from the lire to dry it before browning it; it should be of a delicate brown color and quite dry in the middle of the slice; in this condition it is more easily digested than when made so quickly that the moisture of the bread remains in it. German Pcpfb.—Half pmt milk, five eggs, two large spoons of float, two ounces butter; bake in small tins or cups; till them half full; they require a quick oven; a few minutes will bake them; to be eaten as soon as they arc out of the cups, as they will fall if allowed to oool. To make good starch, mix with cold water and add boiling water until it thickens; then add a dessertspoon of sugar and a small piece of hotter. This makes a stiff’ and glossy finish, equal to new. Dressing pen Poultry.—Place in a pan a small loaf of baker’s bread, one half cup of butter, the yolks of four eggs, pepper, salt, a little snmmer sav ory and two onions sliced aud fried brown; pour over boiling water enough to wet it thoroughly, then mix. To make pastry flaky mix it’ two or three days before using and place in a very cold place. It can be kept a week or ten days with good result. To clean copper tea-kettle, use turpen tine and line brick dust, and rub hard with flannel, and polish with leather and dry brick dost. To destroy red ants, put a pint of tu in an earthen vessel and pour over it two quarts of boiling water and put in the closet. After washing cut-glass articles lot them dry thoroughly and then rub with prepared chalk and a soft brush. Machine grease may be removed from wash goods by dipping the fabric in cold rain water and soda. To temper a gloss jar so that it can be at once filled with anything hot, pat into it a silver spoon. To clean willow furniture use salt and water, and apply with a coarse brash and dry thoroughly. t ~~ Select the finest tubei's when harvest ing tne crops and put them aside for next spring’s planting. Following this rule lor a few seasons will produce a great improvement in the quality of your pota toes. HUMOROUS. A coolness has arisen between Kosci usko Morphy and Mrs. Hnfnagel, one of the most fashionable ladies of Austin. There was a lawn party at the Hnfnagel mansion. Mrs Hnfnagel showed Mr. Murphy over the grounds, and asked him what he thought of their arrange ment. “I am delighted, madam,” was the reply. ‘'Wherever I look I see the footprints of your genius.'’ As Mrs. Hufnagel has a foot almost as big as a wheelbarrow, she supposed there was something personal in the remark. She did not hint exactly that she was not glad to have him stay for supper, but she opened the gate and pointed into the street, and Mnrpky, who is very sensitive, strolled away. At a Baa Time. Commander J. B. Goghlan, U. 8. N., writes to us from the Navy Yard at Mare island. Cal—An enforced residence of two years in California made me the subject of most painful attacks of rheumatism.

He was a member of the Maine Leg islature. and had been sweet toward au Augusta girl all winter, and had taken her to attend the sessions until she was well posted in the rules. On the last day of the session, as they came near the peanut-stand near the door, he said to her: “May 1 offer yon my handfnl of peanuts ?” She responded promptly; “I move to amend by omitting all after the word -hand.’ ” He blushiugly accepted the amendment, and they adopted it un animously. It was a handsome wed ding that followed. “Great haste is uot always good speed.” Yet you must not dilly-dally in caring for your health.
