AND GARDEN HOUSEHOLD NOTES. Take Caro of the Cow Every spring, snyu the Baltimore American many cUy re«iderils, bav ins read rural books all winter, are filled with a desire for country living; and, shaking the city dust from off their shoes, only to get them deeply Embedded in country njud.tify a little amateur jarming. Jt is a laudable <le- sii'^, End it woufd be wsse if more of such would follow their example - even if they fared nowise belter than 'those of “Ituddcr Grange." The lord ,t>f tlie bousehord says we must have ! a horse for madamc to use for driving ^n the cool of the evening, and may T»e f having the wisdom of the law at his finger tins.beguiles bis mother-in- )aw into accepting his plans and au- j^orily by many littio cozy rides among the numerous rural nooks found in every neighborhood. The wife-*-al ways the wiser of the two— says we need a cow, as we must have' imilk for the children,' butter and fereamnud ice-cream, and many other frightful compounds for the family and for our numerous city friends. And she is right; as when all tilings are thought over, the milk from a good family cow, well fed with sweet nutritious grass and sound grain, and T-prrr ' WSBeSF'. m Wt * y.-- m. •. ig ■ v . . * v; rztsi' ... .v ; .tn,i jj.H'c ikesuspniig water, and housed fn a little stable, well- bedded with dr/ forest leaves, is a de light that cannot be appreciated un til dice realized by actual possession* 1 How to keep such a cow, feed and milk her is the scope of this article. The cow should be purchased, if pos'- sible, from some farmer living some distance from the city, one who carts lor iiis stock, and whose word can he relied upon. £uch an animal will, us hsn general rule, bo healthy,and give good wholesome milk. And to get such an animal it would be wise,even if a few dollars more would have to t»e paid. For general purposes,a good native cow; with some Ayrshire or iJevon blood counting through her ■veins, will as a general thing, give the best satisiaction, us they are ex tremely hardy .and their milk contains all those elements no necessary for tlie grow tii and dcvoiopenieiit of chil dren. If plenty of good,rich milk is called foi, the cow .‘riiould have two quarts of mill feed ftiul due quart of corn meal 'mixed together,and fed dry; one-hali In the morning whilst being milked, and the other half at night, and dur ing the day plenty of good pasture hud clean water to drink, and when 'it is very hot the cow should bo kept in the shade, as extreme heat is very injurous to the animal and also to her onilk. She should be kept in a large, Voomy stable and well-bedded, and after the morning's milking well- carded and brushed down. This is just as important to the animal as it is to maa to wash his face and comb Ids Jiair. JAy this carding the pores of the skin are kept open and the hide is kept loose, and thus the animal is _ fwv.it!» t - - t As pasturage fails from the effect of the summer heat, bno-quarter of an acre ol coi*n sowed in rows dpring the early part ol May, on rich ground,can be relied upon to supplement her oth- er foocj and keep up a generous supply bf milk during July and August. Many persolis spoil a good cow* by pdt milking properly. There is a Tyrong and a right way, and it takes tifno £o become proficient in it. Have « bucket w ith'soixe water and a towel ktid wasli the cow’s bag and wipe dry find then proceed to milk,first having the person’s hands clean; grasp the teals with both hands and draw, and Squeeze gently at the same time and quite rapidly, and milk until the last drop of mjlk is'dravn but. Allowing triilk to remain in the bag will tend to dry up tlie cow much sooner than if milked clean. In ten minutes tune a cow should be milked, and whilst being milked no laughing or talking should be indulged in In the early part of September the ground upon which the corn-fodder fefew should be plowed up, made fine and rich and seeded m i'yp at the rate bffour bushels per acre, and if put in early, and on good ground, an abun dance of rich green food can be cut off of it about the first of tlie following May. A cow should by all means have a pasture tc run in, and in tlie winter t*llowi$ plenty of exe.else in a warm ’yard and kept out of cold storms of rain. These rules arc simple, and should be looked after by the head of tlie house, for if left to the help, how ever how* good he may be, it will goon degenerate into a mechanical duty, “'“I may be not done at all. Living in the country has its drawbacks, and only those get their lull satisfaction fvhoare painstaking and methodical not for a day or week, but the year round. 4 very good suds:l ute may be found In ’lieu of a dairy by having a good, substantial trough made of w !,ite pine timber, 1 1-2 inches thick, and hi iiWhcs wide and high,and six feet long This trough shoul be well put together by a ••arpenter. the joints laid in White lead and each end a piece of VffV? clj-je inserted to allow ventila- ti bn,mi T to exclude dies, and w itL a close-fitting lid that can be locked, will answer very well. This trough Should be placed in the pump shed, and by means of a small trough fresh water should be pumped into it every night and moruig. [Tlie last words of Dr. Alexander Adam, an eminent school mask*? in Edinburgh, Scotland, who died in 1808, His last words were, as he imagined himteif in thesdhooj room: “Boys, you may go; it grows dark. ,: j “It’s growing dark—boys, you may go.” So spoke the dying master Jqw, As life for Imn was ebbing fast. Its school of trial almost past. The hour of closing come at last— It seemed in his delirium dreaming. The sunset tlirough the school room streaming. ‘‘Its growing dai k—boys, ycu may go.” Tlie day is done, the sun is low; The study bard, the problem ddep, The weary mind no more may keep; Shut uij the books, ’lis time for sleep- Go home and wait until to-morrow Shall bring its w ork of joy or sorrow. Its growing dark—hoys you may go,” The thought begun to stir and flow; How light and life and all things here, Like school pear, To mention the word larding Is to disconcert the average cook, and its presence in a recipe kills that recipe for most housewives. Nevertheless larding greatly improves turkeys, chickens, cutlets, birds, etc. Cut very firm bacon fat with a sharp kuife intostripsof equal size. Putoneend into the larding needle and draw through the skin and a little of the meat or fowl of the article to be larded, leaving tlie strip of pork in the meat, with ihe two exposed ends of equal length. (foment fin Knife Handles. A material for fastening knives and forks into their handles is much needed. The best cement which is used for this purpose is made by melting one pound of colophony bought of any druggist, and eight ounces of sulphur. It may be kept in a bar or reduced to powder. Take one part powde/and mix v/jth iron fill ings, fine sand or brick ikifei, and fill the cavity of the handle, heat the stem of "the handle, then heat the stern of the knife or folk and insert. When cold it will be found to be firm in its place.

We are in Nubia, the climate, the differ ent types of the negro race, their black skins displayed with a lavish disregard of dress, all remind us that we are indeed in Africa, for all abont us are the very scenes wo used tn see in the geography pictuyes wben but children. Myself a na tive of the south, and familiar with plan tntion life in half a dozen different states, before as well as since the civil war, I find these Africans in their own country a par 1 ticnlarly interesting study. We have watched them at their daily toil, and far costs," “to pay Xo Kesources. Rome people cannot cmlqre their own society with patience; they hate to be left alone. They do not know how to r.muse themselves. They have no fondness for nature, knows noth ing of natural history, and have never cultivated a taste for read ing. The consequence is, when they happen to be thrown on their own re sources, they have no resources to fall back upon. Such people are greatly to be pitied. - Tlie woods, tlie uiqiintains, falling waters, and tlie ocean shore have no" attractions for them. They are blind to the beauty of the varied plumage of tlie birds, and deaf to their sweet soul's. When ever they chance to be left alone for an hour the time hangs heavily on tin ir hands. They must always he busy in their own little ways, or tak ing part in idle chatter and gossip. To sit down and meditate upon the great problem of life, and tlie greater prqbleiii pf death; to iiojd comniu- nion with the great authors, who, in their works, are deathless; these are tilings of which they arc* incapable. They cannot even while away an hour over a humorous book. Young men and young women who cultivate a taste for literature and for science lay up a rich treasure of resources for enjoyment in the many hours of everydaylife which otherwise are long and dreary. In its effect upon hap piness tlie value of culture id beyond all price.' /v onggys ivcKi- uuu icui. “How much do you suppose it asked tho eccentric statistician, for wear and tear on a buggy?”' He asked the question to answer it, of course, and replied: “It takes two cents a mile.

Uses of an Egg. For burns and scalds nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg, which may be poured over the wound. It is softer as a varnish than collodion, and being always at hand can be applied. It is also more cool ing than tlie sweet oil and cotton, which was formerly supposed to be tpe surest application to a Hay the smarting pain. It is the contact will) the air which gives the extreme dis comfort experienced from the ordi nary accident of (his kind, and any thing that excludes the air and pre vents infjarn inn (pin is the iking to be at once applied. The egg is considered to be one of the b'*«t remedies for dysentery. Beaten up slightly, with or without sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it tends, by its emollient qualities, to lessen the inflammation of the stom ach and intestines, and. by forming a transient coating on these organs, lo enable nature to resume Iter healthful sway over a deceased body.

A recent exhibition of French carica tures and comic drawings brought to tho public cyo once more tho evidences of tho fact that Parisian gayety was not to bo suppressed aven by tho terribip siogc that tho capital went through from tho Ger man army. Ono of these caricatures, published during tho siege, was made to represent a fashion plate; various elegant ladies and gentlemen were pictured going about wrapped in mattresses, and under neath the picture was the legend: “Fash ions for the bombardment season." Most of these pleasantries of the siego turned upon the scarcity of food—a grim subject which seemed particularly inspiring to the caricaturist of tho time. A servant asks his master: “Shall I put tho horses in the carriage today, or in the barouche?" “H'm,” says tlie master, sighing, you may put them iu tlie oven, please!” Not unlike this is another caricature rep,y- scut ing a servant making the familiar an nouncement to his mistress: “Tho horses aro ready, madamc." “What!” “Yes, madame—they are on tho table!” Such pleasantries seem scarcely to have been a laughing matter to tho people who went through those fearful scenes, but tho Parisians must laugh at something, and these pictures prove that they could not think of stopping their gayety on account of such a passing Incident as a siege and a famine.—The Argonaut.
