/ mitm ■iiih AGRICULTURE. Ifcms horses when trotting in pulling their hind feet 10 the ground strike princi pally on the toe. Such horses should have the heels lowered, and should wear shoes without heels. Skunk-cabbage is said to bo good fer . beares in teaspocnfui dotes night and morning. Moisten the hay and .grain. Be careful with the diet. Never work a heavy horse on a full stomach. Steel bits should be kept in a warm place until they are placed in the horse’s mouth. Any person can realize the sen sation of placjig a cold bit in the horse’s mouth by first touching it with his own tongue, . Tar is one of the most useful articles to be kept about the stable. Internally use a teaspoonful night and morning tor chronic coughs; externally, it is particu larly useful in thrush and all diseases or wounds of the foot. Mixed with fish-oil it is one of the belt remedies for bard or brittle feet. An excellent remedy for mange is: Oil of turpentine, 1 pint; add cautiously two ounces of oil of vitriol, stirring the mix ture constantly; then add eignt ounces lin seed oil, to be rubbed in with a brush twice a day If your double team did not work to suit you to-day,one crowding to the pole while the other would pull bis head to one side, ige that the reins are right, and in hooking ■m.to your wagon to morrow put the ' Knn the near side. The use of the roots of trees and plants . attach these to the soil and hold thenrVvlj', and although the largest portion or itL .jots ure fine fibers, of themselves individually very weak and brittle; yet m the aggregate they are of such strength and tenacity as <o resist the efforts of a small man to pull up n very small plant. The root of a narrow-leaved dock, for instance,or of a plant of commen crab grass {Panicum sanguinale), is so firmly attached to the boh that either will sustain a weight of 60 or 100 pounds before it can be drawn out, unless the stem breaks off. The strength of the roots ot a large tree may be realized when the force ot a stonn pressing upon the large area of the top is estimated, together with the addi tional power fc Horded by the large leverage of the stem, in all amounting to several tons. But while this mechanical purpose is so well attained by the spreading and interlacing mass of roots, yet these fulfil a far more essential purpose in the feeding of the plant, and inis function is so com plicated and varied m its action and effects as to become a most interesting study to the cultivator of the sod who watches the growth of his crops. A tAT* number of the Gardener's Chronicle contains a detailed account of some experiments which have been made m grafting potatoes for producing graft hybrids, but with a single exception with out any success. Some yeais ago this model of attempting to produce crosses was thought to promise great results; but it appears to be now giveu as of little val ue. Placing the faces of two unlike sci ons together may produce a union between them in precisely the same way that the graft and stock in common grafting adhere together; and as the stock sometimes ef fects an mtluence on the gr&lt, so that the two grafts may produce some change. Whet are termed accidental “sports”—of ten caused by some external injury—have given more distinct new sorts loan grafting has ever accomplished. Raising new plants from seed is a much easier and more prolific mode of obtaining new varieties, and when in addition to this mode artia- clal crossing is resorted to the results have been extensive and of a decided character. The Gardener's Monthly gives m sub stance the following good practical direc tions for prunitg ornamental shrubs on tbe approach of spring: Indiscriminate cut ting back will not answer the desired pur pose. Distinction must be made between slow and vigorous groweir, and between those which bear flowers on old wood ana those which flower on new growth. Such as grow too sirong io flower well should be lightly prunta.and in tbe same individ ual the weakest sLoots should be cut in more severely than tbe stronger ones. Li lacs and tbe Philadelphus bear flowers on the wood of last year, and to prune them much now destroys the flowering, while the altbeaa and others which flower on the young wood cannot be too severely cut in, The Bronze is the largest of the turkey family, many of them weighing so far in excess of our ordinary turkey as to bear no companion in ugaid to value of carcass or prefit to those wbo keep them. As one gobbler is eufbcn nt for almost any number ot hens denied,the cost ot in proving wiih the Isige BioLze is not gieat <onsidering its soventagts. Pairs of ibete turkeys reach fi:iy pounds acd over at times, and tie ciots let Aten it and the common lur key makes a superior market fowl. It is not out of piac** io claim that every person who laises turkeys makes a mistake un leu a Bronze has been tried with tbe hens. Ibis breed should not be confounded with the ordinary small-sized Bronze turkey of most farms. Time was when the bean crop of Western New kork ranged trom twenty to thirty bushels per acre; but several farmers in this town say it will not be over eight or nine bushels this year. One field of thirty acres, very carefully fitted and cultivated, gave only between thirteen and fourteen bushels per acre. Another, near the high way, which was thought as promising as any, only turned ten bushels per acre. Several bundled acies were destroyed by had in the towns of C&Jedoma, York and other towns in the northwest: many fields were injuied by using too much seed, caused by the weevil scare about planting tlma. Pasttmng sheep or bogs in orchards is an excellent practice, less lor the value of the pasture than for the benefit to the fruit by destroying wormy specimens. The animals should be fed liberally daily, but not late at night or early in the morning, so as to enconrage them to make early forays for fallen truit. • Etxkt one interested in potatoes should try on a small scale new varieties till they find something adapted to their cultivation etc., and by being a little careful, can dou ble their vield on any of the old kinds with but little additional expense. Money spent for good seed is well invested, and will be very certain to pay a large dividend. Expxbimxsts by careful breeders give some valuable facts for estimating tbe cost of producing pork. It is conceded that 1 bushel of corn should produce ten pounds ofpoik, but everything depends on the management, ft ith good weather,a good breed, sound corn and regular feeding this average may be reached, but cot otherwise. Saltpetes dissolved at the rate of one and a half to tvo ounces to a-galion of water, and app'ied with a sprinkler, will completely banish the European cabbage worm. It has proved not only a sure cure for this nuisance, but a special fertilizer in stimulating an increased growth ot plant DOMESTIC. A Christmas Plum Fcddinu.—To be wholesome, a plum padding must be well combined, veil mixed, well cooked, served np hot, and eaten before tbe ap petite is flagging, A good plum pud ding is not indigestible, but nourishing, strengthening, and above all, comfort ing; it puts people in good temper and makes them feel happy. Do not make it too rich, too heavy, nor too sweet, nor too large, but be moderate in every thing, forgetiing nothing, and mixing it with jour own hands. Only that plum padding is lucky that is stirred by each member of the household. Take one pound of best raisins, well stoned; one pound of currants, half a pound of Sultanas, half a pound of fine ly-chopped candied peel, one pound of beat moist sugar, the rind of one lemon, grated; mix spice according to judge ment; one ounce of powdered sweet almonds, grated nutmeg and ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt and a pinch of ground pepper. Prepare best white stale breid crumbs and rub I. even, to your judgement in quantity; then add three tablespoons of fine-siftad flour. Chop as fine as possible three quarters of a pound of best beef suet; add to bread and flour; also two good pinches of baking powder; mix well. Add gro- oeries and mix well. Pour two table spoons of best golden syrup over this mixture. Beat up the yolks of six eggs well; the whites of three with white sugar, mix them with the pudding materials. Stir for ten minutes, till all is amalgama ted. Add two glasses of sherry, if desired, mix huffioient to bring to a good moisture, but not sloppy. Butter a mould well; pour in pudding and place in steamer or saucepan, so that the wa ter reaches only half the height, and by no means immerse it, cover the pudding with clean paper and let steam for six hours at least. For sauoe, take piece of best butter and melt; mix with half a spoon of best line flour, mix well. Add sugar and vanilla flavoring and as much milk or cream as desired. Mix well in stirring until it is perfectly smooth. Scotch Broth,—In addition to Len ten fast-keepers there are numbers of people who “take to” vegetable diet at this time of the year, because it agrees wiih them. Here is a receipt for a nour ishing soup: Eight ounces barley, four ounces hancot beans, four ounces driec green peas, two large carrots, one large turnip, one large leek (or four ounces of onions), one ounce salt butter; salt to taste. The peas are soaked in water for twenty four^hours, then at 9’ o’clock are put in the water with cold water, the barley, beans and onions—other vegetables are added successively as they are prepared, thus retaining the flavor of all, and insuring thorough cooking. At five minutes to one o' clock the butter is added to the thor oughly blended ingredients, and the soup, served with toasted bread, forms an abundant and satisfying meal. The davor being in the vegetables and not- in the meat, none but the initiated can tell the difference, from the soup made with six pounds io eight pounds of beef. French Rics Pudding.—Pick and wash m two or three waters a couple of handfuls of rice, and put it to cook in rather less than a quart of milk, sweet ened to taste, and with the addition of the thin rind of one lemon, cut in one piece, and a small stiok of cinnamon. Let the rice simmer gently until it has absorbed all the milk. Turn it out in to a basin, and when cold, remove the lemon-rind i cinnamon. into it the yolks of four eggs and one whole egg beaten up; add u small quan tity of candied citron cut into small pieces and mix it well in. Batter and bread crumb a plain tin mould, put the mixture into it, and bake m a quick oven for about half an hour. To ascer tain when the pudding is done, insert a bright trusamg-needie into it; it will come out clean when the pudding is done. Chocolate Macaboons —Delicious chocolate macaroons are made by melt ing slowly, and with care, three ounces ot plain chocolate. A good way is to melt it in a tin uish and set it within another containing hot water. Make a thick paste by stirring in gradually one pound of powdered sugar and the wel - beaten whites of tinee eggs, then spread or roll it as smooth as possible to a sheet about a quarter of an inch thick. Cut it m small, round, and fancy-shaped pieces; butter your cookey tins and scatt -r a liule flour and sugar over the boitoiu (use equal quantities of each), and lay the macaroons on. Bake in a hot ovcu, but avoid having it hot enough to scoron tnem. Stewed Sweetbreads.—Trim some sweetbreads and souk them in warm water till quite white, blanch in boiling water, anu then put them in cold for a short time. When cold diy them and put them in some well-flavored white stock. Stew for hall an hour. Beat up the yolks of two or three eggs with some cream, a little finely-mince parsley and grated nutmeg, pepper and salt to taste. Add this to the sauce, put it on the fire to get quite hot, dish the sweet breads, pour tbe sauce over, and serve. The Shawl —The shawl is pre-emm- ently a feminine article of apparel, but is sometimes appropriated by the other aex. The Syrian gentleman wears it as a girdle, often of costly material and beautiful tints. The effect is then very flue. The shawl holds an honored place in the wardrobe of tbe queen and wraps its faded tatters around the beggar in the street. In one country it is worn as a coat, in another as a blanket, in a third an a cloak, in a fourth as a vail fallmc graceluiiy from the head over the shoukiers, and in a fifth reposing oa the shoulders hangs in undulating folds, giving an indefinable air of gm- tility to the lady who knows how to wear it Cbanbebbt Sauce.—Pick over and wash the cranuenies and pot in preserv ing kettle with half a pint of water to one quart of berries; now put the su gar,—granulated sugar is the best—on top of the berries. Set on the fire and stir about half an hour. Stir often to prevent burning. They will not need straining, and will preserve their rich color cooked in tiiis way. Never cook cranberries beiore putting in the sngar. Less sugar may be used if you do not wish them very rich, Cheshire Pore Pie.—Cut two or three pounds lean fresh pork into strips; line a battered 'Uish with puff -paste; put in a layer of pork seasoned with pepper, salt and nutmeg or mace; next a layer of juicy apples, sliced and cov ered with obout an ounce of white su gar; then more pork, ana so on; stiek bits of batter orer the top, cover with paste, brash over with a beaten egg, and bake an hour and a half. This is a famous dish in the county from which it takes its name. HUMOROUS, Tfvt were a pair from ttie country, Perhaps on a “bridle tower.” As they walked up Fifth avenue the young man pointed out this and that residence 'jU belonging to Mr. So-and-so, although it was the first time he was ever on tbe street. 4 “Those people must be awful rich,” sighed the girl at last. “Yaas, rather comfortable ott." “What do you suppose they work at?” “Oh, they are are all speculators.’’ “Why don’t you speculate ?” she tim idly inquired. “’Cause we haven’t any opportunities in our town,” he promptly answered. “Here in New York there is a fortune teller on every corner, and a woman who dreams about stocks and wheat and oats in the middle of the block; and its no wonder these fellers heap np the mon ey. I could do the same thing if we had some one in oar town who was born under the dog-star and nursed on the milky way.” A granger whose name is Bob Shield, Was mowing the grass in his field, By a snake he was bitten, And he has just written, “St. Jacob’s Oil has the bite healed.” A lame Chinaman on the Pacific, Ot pains and aches was prolific; He limped all around, Until he had found -* St. Jacob’s Oil, the great specific.

A hard head: My planter friend here tells of an inoident in his gin house, where a negro, hurrying with a sack of cotton on his shoulder, struck a beam with his head. The blow was like the stroke of a sledge hammer and the building trembled. “That must have hurt your head. Jim,” said my friend, pityingly. “No, sah,” was the reply; “didn’t hurt my head a bit, but sprained my neck dreffly.” A World of Good. One of the most popular medicines now before the American public, is Hop Bit ters. You see it everywhere. People take it with good effect. It builds them up. It is not as pleasant to the taste as some other Bitters, as it is not a whiskey dnnk. It is more like the old-fashioned bone-set tea, that has done a world of good. If you don’t feel just right, try Hop Bitters. —Nunda News. Logic at hard pan; "No,” said the transient person. “I cannot labor, al though I should like to work. It is my duty to remain idle.
