FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Farm NoIm, A rather stiff well drained loam is the best soil for potatoes when quality as well as quantity of product is to be considered. Such a soil, all things considered, is the best garden soil. A very good fire kindler can be made of ordinary potter's clay mixed with sulphur, and molded in the shape of an egg. When thoroughly burned it is rendered porous and will absorb ouougli oil to light a fire several times. It should be kept in a tin box. " What do you do for a living?" asked a farmer of a burly beggar who applied at his door for cold victuals and old clothes. " I don't do nothing much, but traveler about," was the answer. "Are you good at traveling?" asked the farmer. "Yes," replied the beggar. "Then let'B see you travel," said tho farmer. We hear from the Prairie Farmer that it is becoming the custom in the West, in raising fruit trees from the seed, to allow many of thom to bear a VAftP nr fwrn unfli o 4 V.*. ^ VM v? ?T?vr ntvu a 1 AU n VU bUU uiov;u*ClJ of flew and valuable varieties. This is commendable?and we may add, is the only way that new, fruits can be developed. The worst of everything is the greediness of men for land. A now comer will put his last dollar in land, and go in debt for his house and farming tools, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred he will, after striving hard and living poor, find himself, at the end of a dozen years, worse off than when he first bogtji. This is the general rule of those who choose farming for their profession. No poor man can afford to buy goods on credit, for if he does, he usually pays more for the same article than he would if he*paid cash; he is more liable to buy goods he does not need, and is liable to incur debts which he may not be able to pay, and which may involve him in financial trouble and ruin. A man who habitually buys goods on credit is like a man who, in an open boat, risks the current of the Niagara; the current of debts gets stronger, and it carries him down. Get the best hands, and keep them. wi? ? ?- 1? i * ??uou a juitui xjt? wtjcomo usea u> ills work and employer, he is worth, more than a stranger. There is a way to make men interested in their work, of satisfying their self-respect, treating them oourteously and reasonably, giving them credit for success, while holding them strictly responsible for failures, and above all, by paying them promptly and liberally, that will make their work worth double what it would otherwise be. As land advances in price, more labor must be expended on it to make it Eay a ;proflt, and by-and-bye we must ave a settled laboring class. We are now in process of educating this class of men, and must do it by good management, Household Hints. Lemon Puddino.?Half a pound of apples grated, half a pound of fine sugar, six ounces of butter, eight eggs, omitting the whites of fonr; rind and juice of three lemons, with or without pastry; bake three-quarters of an hour. To be eaten cold. Poxaig Cakes.?Take mashed potatoes, flour, a little Bait and melted but?W. ? 1 ' ' - nu iiuuiD U1CU1 nwevi, UUtl a mue powdered loaf sugar), mix with just enough milk to make the paste stiff enough to roll, make it the size and thickness of a muffin, and bake quickly. A Good and Inexpensive Soup.? The following is a good soup for the family dinner-table, and one that does not cost much: Three pounds of the neck of beef, one cow heel, a pennyworth of carrots and turnips, half a head of celery, one bunch of tied up sweet herbs, lour onions browned, one pint of peas, all put together in three quarts of water, and after boiling some hours, well strained. The best part of the cow heel may be cut in square pieces and served up in the soup. Strawberry Shortcake.?With one quart of sifted flour mix thoroughly two teaspooiifuls of cream-tartar and one of soda, or the equivalent of these in baking powder, rub in a bit of butter the size of an egg, add a little salt, and sweet milk enough to form a soft dough. Boll half an inch thick and bake in a shallow pan fifteen or twenty minutes; have ready two quarts of fine fresh strawberries; split the cake, place Half the strawberries between and ?over thickly with white Bugar and cream; pat the other half on the top and cover in the same way ; serve as soon as done. ' Tssrs of Wkll-Madk Brkad.?Good bread will feel light in the hand when lifted in it, which will not be the case with that which has been imperfectly kneaded. Good bread when cat will resemble a fine sponge of uniform texture, and be equally free from the spaces caused by largo air bubbles and from the dark streaks which show either that it has been made with adulterated flour, or that it has been inattentively prepared, or too heavily kneaded when it was made up for the oven. The loaves also of well-made and well-baked bread x will retain their shape, and not spread about like unsightly forms, as they will when the dough has been rendered too moist. They will also be equally browned, but not dark-colored and hard. Loaves which have been carelessly baked are sometimes burnt in one Mft. wlttU 4k. i 1- - fnuuv HIV UVUgU M 0WUC1J Bt/ll 111 another. Brtie fmv Fiwti ) ? Batter. The Duchess Farmer says : To three gallons of brine strong enough to bear an egg add a quarter of a pound of nice white sugar and one tablespoonful of saltpeter. Boil the brine, and whan it is oold strain carefully. Make your butter into rolls and wrap each roll separately in a clean white muslin cloth, tying up with a string. Pack a large jar full, weigh the butter down, and pour over the brine until all is submerged. This will keep really good butter perfectly fresh for a whole year. Be careful pet to put any ice upon butter that you wish. to keep for any length of time. In summer when the heat will not admit of butter being made into rolls pack closely in small purs, and using the same brtne, allow it to oover the butter to the depth of at least four inches. This excludes the ahrv aad answers very nearly as well as the first method suggested. _________ ! IJEWS OF THE DAT.

His \yfo will recover Three men were burned to death in tbo house of Alderman John Meagher, in Houston, Texas.... A terrible tragedy occurred a few miles from Penn Yan, New York, the result of a thoughtless joke. It appears that a young man named Cole, living in the same house with his brother-in-law, George Pierce, thought to give the latter a scare by assuming the character of a burglar. He rapped at the door and in answer to ^ reply said in an assumed voice : "Your money or your life." He then took off .hie boote, and climbing up on a roof, entered the house through a Second story window. Pierce, who. waa down stairs, thought he waa a desperado, and cried ont not to come in or he would be killed, and Boizing a carving knife ran up stairs. Ho mot Cole at the head of the stairs and immediately grappled with him, in the struggle cutting his jugular vein. Cole instantly fell, exclaiming: " You have killed Edward Cole. My poor wife and children." Pierce was thunderstruck on finding that he had killed his wife's brother Albert Young, son of State Senator Young, of Wisconsin, shot his father and then committed suicide. The father will survive. It is thought that the son had committed forgery, and resorted to this means of concealing it.

The discovery of California opened a new souroe of American humor ; it changed it from the personal exagg eration peculiar to the valley of the Mississippi, to "poetical license" regarding natural objects. Said one of the "Argonauts." in an excited conversa tion : "Look at California, unrivaled in any natural production that comes from tho soil?gold 1 well enough in its way, but a mere drug?nothing to bo compared with its vegetable productions. Look at its forests, trees varying from three hundred to a thousand feet in height, with their trunks so close together (drawing his knife and pantomining) that you can't stick this bowie between them; and then it would do your hearts good to seo the lordly elk, with antlers from seventeen to twenty feet spread, with their heads and toils up, ambling through these grand forests. It's a sight, gentlemen "? "Stop," said one of the listeners, a new comer in California, one who had not yet been innocnlated with tho atmosphere, "my friend," said ho, "if the trunks of tqo trees are so close together, how do these elks get through the woods with their wide branching horns?" The Californian turnoi on the .questioner with a look of thorough contempt, and replied : " That's the elk's business," and then continued on in his unvarnished tale, unembarrassed as the summer noonday sun. A Word in Season. Health is a blessing which comparatively few enioy in all its fullness. Those endowed by nature with robust frames and vigorous constitutions should be careful not to trifle with them. When we enter the seasons of periodic fevers, the increased heat cf the sun develops a miasma which pervades the air^ The evil is inextinguishable; our duty to guard against it is imperative ! Fortunately for those whose lot is cast in low marshy districts or new clearings, nature provides a cure and preventive. Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters are endowed with rare prophylactic or disease-preventing powers, and as "'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," should be taken in the full vigor of health, so as to fortify the system against the assault of summer disease, and thus socttre by their life-giving, strengthening, restorative, and antiseptic virtues, a defense against atmospheric poison, * Story * a Lightning-Rod Peddler. He "drove liis team close up to the fence, got down and rapped at the door. The widow Gilkens opened it, when he said: " Mrs. OilkenB, I am cognizant of the ciroumstancoa by which you are at present surrounded, left as ^on are to trudgo down the journey of life through a cold and heartless world?no longer sustained and encouraged by the noble one to whom you gave tho treasure of your heart's affection, and bowed down by the manifold cares and responsibilities incidental to the rearing of eight small children on forty acres of sub-carboniferous limestone land; yet, Mrs. Gilkens, you are aware that the season is now approaching when dark, dismal, dangerous clouds at frequent intervals span the canopy of heaven; and when zigzag streaks of electricity dart promiscuously hither and thither, rendering this habitation unsafe for yourself and these dear little ones?hence, therefore, let me sell you a copper wire, silvertipped and highly mngnetio lightningrod." The woman staggered back a few I paces nnd yelled: " Narcin! unfasten old CroncliI" In another instant a savage bull-dog camo darting round the corner of the house with bristles up, thirsting for gore. The dog had already manglod a machine agent and a patent-soap man, and was held in great esteem by the better class of citizens for his courage and service; but when his eye met the hard, penetrating gaze of Mr. Parsons, his chops fell, and he slinked off and hid in the currant bushes. Then Hie man said: " My dear lady, you seem to be a little excited. Now if you will allow me to explain tlio probable inestimable "? "Dern ye, I know something that will start ye," said Mrs. Gilkins, as she reached under some bed clothing, and brought forth a horse-pistol, but, owing to the shattered condition of her nerves, her aim was unsteady, and the charge of buckshot missed save where a few scattering ones struck his cheek and glanced off. A hard metallic smile spread over his countenance, as he leaned his shoulder against the door frame, and again commenced: 4 4 My dear mndame, such spasmodic manifestations of your disinclination to moke a judicious investment of a few paltry dollars"? 44 Hi?eo!" shrieked the widow, and collapsed into a kind of jerking swoon, and before she had recovered a highly magnetic lightning-rod decorated her humble domicile, and Parsons had the blank note filled out already for hei signature.
