Grate ' horse-radish on a grater into a basin, add < two lablcspooufuls of cream, with a little ' mustard and salt, mix well together, add ? four tablespoonfuls of the best vinegar, and 1 mix the whole thoroughly. The vinegar 1 and cream are both to be cold. Calf's Foot Jelly.?Take two calves' feet; add to them one gallon of water; boil them down to one quart; strain, and when cold remove all fat; then add the whites of six |or eight eggs (well beaten) half a pound of sugar and the juice of four lemons ; mix well. Boil for a minute, constantly stirring ; them strain through a flannel bag. Cocoanut Pudding.?Soak three tablespoonfuls tapioca in cold water over night; boil one quart of milk; add tapioca and boil five minutes; then add yelks of four [ eggs, three tablespoon fuls desicatcd cocoanut; boil ten minutes; turn into a dish to | cool, beat tbe whites and two tablcspoonluls of sugar to a foaui; spread on the top aud scatter over with cocoanut; set in the ovon to brown a little. Lemon Pies.?Tho juice and grated rind of one lemon, one cup of sugar, yelks of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of flour, tnilk to fill pic-plate. If milk i9 not convenint, water with a small lump of butter, is a good substitute. Lino a medium-sized Elate with nice pastry, pour in the custard; ake until done. Peat the two whites of eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten with four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, spread smoothly over the pie when baked, and brown lightly in the oven. Frying Raw Potatoes.?We supposed we knew how to fry raw potatoes, but found we were mistaken when a lady friend, who came to stop with us a few days, convinced us that she had a better way. And such a little differcnc there was in the cooking of them, too?to make them so much nicer. The secret was in keeping them covered 1 closely as they were cooking. The potatoes were washed pared and sliced thin, put to ftyjH .ft Bjcviouslyjicated and butIng; salted to taste, too, and to think that Just keeping them covered should make so 1 much difference and improvement?in the way of eooking them. They would come 1 ?to the table so crispy and crusted, with scarcely a elite broken ; owing to the care of handling, when being turned over. Greasy Sii.k Ribbon.?Rub magnesia or French chalk on greasy silk ribbon, hold near fire, and brush off grease. Stains in Light Goods.?Chlroform is cry useful in removing great stains from Jight silk and poplin. French chalk is also | ery good.

I To Restore Colors, etc.?Hartshorn 1 will restore the color of woolen garments ' without injury. Turpentine removes \ grease or paint from cloth?apply till paint ' can be scraped off. To Clean Black Lace.?Squeeze soft- t ]y and often in skimmed milk; when it ^ seems clean put it in cloan skimmed milkr ] squeeze again, lay it on sheets of stiff pa- i per, draw out scollops and edges with nnger, cover with stiff paper and a heavy weight. - I I X >4 Hiking FarM LABOR.-p-f&.s Urn is the >eriod of the year at which tbd faruior inakos lis yearly coutracts for labor, the followng, practical suggestion from tho Southern Cultivator aro valuable and will provo of pecial interest. Sinoo the panio of 1873, a general ihrinkago of values has boon going on.? [f under such circumstances all valves brink proportionally, no 000 out of debt luffcrs specially. If tho farther for instance ;cts now only half as much for his cotton ts he did in 1873, it would make no difformcc to him. provided he could buy what 10 needed at half the price he had to pay hat year- Cau he do this? With some hiugs ho cau, with othors ho cannot.? I'he prices of what aro usually tcrmod the 'necessaries" of lifo, such as clothing, domestic,) provisions, iron, &c., have probibly decroascd quite as much as that ol sotton. liut the price of labor?that vhich the farmor uses most of all to make iolton?what about that? Ah, there's the ub! Labor has not declined in valuo pro a: A.I _ A. A I A t!-L 1_1 1 juruuuau-'iy to mat wuiuii luuur piuuuuu: ?uor to those things which the laborci uust buy, to wit: clothing and food.? \.ud this, it seems to us, is the great un lerlaying universal causo of business stag latiou every where. The merchant lack? onfidence iu the farmer, because bo see: ic has little or no money left after paying he expenses of the crop. Tho capitalist icsitatcs to iuvest iu industiial enterprises iccause he sees that expenses eat up all the irofits and a portion of the capital inestod. Those who have already invested s manufacturers, railroad managers, mi iers, &c., have attempted to relieve them elves by reducing wages, but success has iecn very partial. Laborers have resisted t, "strikes'' have followed, and a gemora insettling of business ensued. Now the armor cuu attempt reduction of wages on y through tho contracts he makes at the icginning of the year?his crops ouc< iluutcd, he is at the mercy of tho laborer t then becomes a question of losing the rholo, or payiug one-halt or thrco-fourthi f its value, to secure the remainder. Tho labor arrangcuiont for the year, then s the paramount question of tho day.? Icrctoforc wo have advised hiring foi noncy or standing wages?and stilt thiol his tho best arrangement when labor cat >e hired at reasonable rates. But *indc existing circumstances, when labor i?; higl sompare with the products of labor, it i setter to pay in part of the crop, and thu jompel the laborer to sharo with the land ord the loss from low prices, bad scasous fee.

Chicken Cholera appoars often to t spread by othor chickens eating the intei tinal contents of those which have bee killed fortlie table There would be nothin violent in the assumption that disease migb be produced in a healthy fowl from feed in upon the intestinal and excreuicntitiou matter of another fowl, itself in health.? This probability develops into a certainty i the intestines arc from the body of a fo? in which the disease existed iu the uudevel oped form of the incubative period, whicl may exist for several days beforo the bir becomes sick. Any fowls bought froi strangers arc legitimate subjects of suspioior There is a plain piece of common sens which may bo put into practieo here, an that is, to roquiro the cook to burn the in tcstines of every fowl cleaned. Facta ar not wanting in our personal experienc which go to show thAt the excreinenta o an animal are more or less dangerous to al other animals, and especially so to othc animals of its own kind. Animal hygien is au important branch of agriculture science, which has been littlo thought abou or written about, except in rather a loos way* In nothing have the practices c modern civilization been less sensible am more disgusting and dangerous than in ou modes of dealing with human and animi excreinenta and other impurities, frot which arise, all over the earth, multifariou forms of sickness and death to man an beast.?Southern Planter and Farmer. A Certain Cure for Chills an Fever.?Several years ago I was truvclin In the course of a conversation he rcmarke than in tho early settlement of that Stat be had suffered much, as all early settler always do in the West, from this disease.? lie bad used the ordinary remedies, largel composed of quinine, with tho usual result ?curing, for the time being, to rctur again in a week or two. Being among some of the Indians soutl of that Stato, he came across a Frcuchtna who called himself a doctor. This mm advised him to get an ounce of camphoi all in one piocc, if possible, sew it up in i small cloth bag, hang it round his neck witl a tapo, so it would come at tho bottom o tho sternum or breast bone, and securing 3 there with another tape round tho body, t keep it in place. This, ho said, would al svaporato in a week or ten days, when hi must get another aud use it in the sam< ivay. Two ounces thus used, costing^ 2( ;enta, would euro, he declared, the won 5aie of aguo so it would never come back The Kansas man declared that ho had triei his remedy in hundreds of cases, and ha< lever known it to fail. Since obtaining his information I have tried it manv times fith tho samo results. So simple an< larmlcss a remedy ought to be in genera ise.?Prairie Farmer. Riches have wings, but they seldom fl toward a man. rATE A prater sat in his office chair, his boots weto patohfed and his coat threadbare, and L his face looked weary aud worn with caro. While ooldly thinking of business debt, old Morpheut slowly round him crept, aud before no kjiew it ho soundly slept, aud sleeping^As*dduurtcd that he was dead from trouble aucRou; his spirit had ffed, and that not even a cow boll tolled, for the peaccablo rest of tho cowhide sole. As he wandered among the shades thut smoke and scorch in lower hades, he shortly obsorved an irou ' door, that creakingly swang on hinges ajar, but tho entranco was closed with red hot 1 bar, and Satan himself stood peeping out, waiting for travelers there about, and thus ! to the passing printer spoko : "Come in my dear; it shall cost you . nothing, and never fear. Ihia is the place where I cook the ones who never pay their subscription sums; for though in life they escape, they will find when they aro dead it is too late; I will show you the place where I melt them thin with rcdhot chains their and scraps of tin; and also where I comb heads with broken glass and molted lead, and of refreshments they only think, there's boiling water for them to drink, there's the red haf^rindstone to grind his nose, and and Xr^red'hot ring to wear on his toes, and if they mention they don't like fire, I'll sew up their mouths with red hot wire; and then, dear sir, you should see them squirm, while I roll them over; and cool to turn." With the last words the printor awoke and thought it was a practical joko ; butstill at times so real did it seem, that_hc cannot believe it was a dream ; nud often he thinks with a chuck and grin of the fate of those who save their tin aud never pay the printer. The Merciful Man?The Merciless Mule.?rThe ltaleigh (N. C) Observer thus pleasantly alludes to the -icrciful man whoso care for a borrowed horse well nigh cost South Carolina a Govornor : " A merciful man is merciful to his beast, jwd it is a sorry fellow that will rido a borrowed horse to death, and that is the rcasou why Governor Hampton rode a mule instead of a horse in a deer hunt, which proved such a costly diversion for him.? He is a hard rider, and the day before had used a friend's horse which he had wished to ppare on the second day. This is all s very well, but knowing tho changes and s chances of mortal life on a mule, even with 1- the best of ciders, and knowing that Gov't crnor Hampton knew them, wc have never >1 quite forgiven him, in our heart of hearts, n for putting his State in such jeopardy.? n When a mule humps his buck, nothing a human can stay on it, and every mule is li? - able to hump his back at the most uncio pccted mowcut. There arc many mules but there is only one Hampton, 0 iixftaoERATlON.?The habit of exaggo 3" ration is one which rapidly grows into uuu truth, if encouraged.
