A STKlKlMrLGUACY.
The persons assembled at Lumber
Hall to hear tin hearing; of old Mr. I'm
berIowth's will after his liuier.il in
rlink'd all riie nearest relatives of the
di'ei'a-i'd, and they happened to be in
dividuals so diverse in their pursuits
anil characters that it was only in such
a place and for such a purpose that they
could have met at all. J'ut all were
equally interested in the circumstance
that had brought them together, for
Mr. Cmberglowlh had died a childless
widower and his large properly was un
entailed. He had been a cold, stem,
uiiMici'ihle old man, living much alone,
and had inner favored a soul with :my
hint as to how lie should dispose of his
wc-ilth, except that ho had once said
that his money should go to his own
kin, not to public charities or "any
nonsense of that kind.1
It was generally anticipated that his
cousin, Mr. Stephen I'mberglowth,
would be found to have inherited the
bulk of the property; and Stephen was
of this hopeful opinion himself. He
had been received at the Hall as the
presumed heir, and had taken upon
himself to do the honors of the plaeo to
his relatives. These were Lady llcak
well, the decea-cd's sister-in-law; the
Kev. (.'lenient ("loam and Mr. Dennis
(.'illingclcrc. sons of his two sisters who
were dead.
Mrs. (Jloain al Mre- Callingclere
had both come with their husbands to
attend the funeral, and there, were also
prc.-cnt ti hear the will read Dr. ("rui
ning, the deceased's physician, and Dr.
5rti-h. Vicar of the parish. These two
had been invited bv .Mr. Parkin, the
solicitor who had the will in his keep
ing. It has been said that Mr. I'mber
glowth's relations were dissimilar in
their character; they were so much so,
indeed, that during the two days they
had spent at Lumber Hall they had
fi'imd little to say toone another. Lady
licukwell was a widow of forty-live,
with a snug jointure of -1,009 a year,
who went a good deal into society and
consorted only with people of the high
est rank. A very well dressed, scltish
gentlewoman she was. with excellent
milliners, a shrewd mind and sarcastic
foiigue. She pas-cd for a wit, though
she set up no pretentions to that char
acter 13 sixiug .-mart things at random,
which would have been a vulgarity de
spicable in her sight. She simply
peeked at people and things obnoxious
to her when they cameln her way. The
Kev. Clement (floatn. Vicar of St. Cap
ercuyf s, l'imlico, was tall, lank-haired,
wit if a sad voice and unctous ways. He
wore a caock ami Gloucester hat and
was noted both for the rigidity of his
tenets and for his eloquence in the pul
pit. He had a private income of l,
00i, boides what he drew from his
church, and he was happy in the pos
session of a wife who xvsis as strict as
himself, who alw.-iys dressed in black
Denny Callingclere and his wife Alice
were two very different people and lit
tle better than heathen m the sight of
Mr. and Mrs. (iloam. They had an in
come of i"l..r00 and spent ever penny
of it in enjoying themselves at race
meetings and in the hunting field. They
always rode together; they both betted:
thevWhiled awav their 'autumn and
winter in rounds of visits to country
houses where they were ever welcome,
and they were the gayest, brightest,
most attached totiple j'o" could find.
They had come down to Lumber hop
ing Tncle Umberglowth had remem
bered them for "a thou'' or two," which
would help them to pay oil' outstanding
"ticks,'" but they were less concerned
about their chances than anybody pres
ent, and had no intention of pulling
faces at Uncle Stephen if the latter
should get the whole inheritance to his
own cheek.
Stephen Umberglowth was just the
man whom the world in its discretion
would have fastened upon as a lit heir,
for was. iie not the great Mr. Umber
glowth whom everybody knew the
statistician, politician ami general critic
of other men's isms?' lie was a tall,
pompous, red-eared, bald person, with
lull lips always prottuding, as if they
were going to say "pooh-pooh." The
bump of veneration is wanting ou his
pate, but self-esteem was largely dc el
oped. He was a practical man, who
cowed and scoffed and said "tut tut."
and defied mankind to oppose anj ar
guments to his common-sense view of
thing-. He had twice tried to get into
Parliament and had nearly succeeded
both times; it was thought he would
gel in before long, and he' himself talked
of the idea of his bcinc beaten a third
time as "preposterous.' Stephen Um
berglowth was married, but kept his
wife in the background as an inferior
creature, inapt for rational argument;
and he had two sons still at school, who
by his orders were undergoing a prac
ticaledtteation in mathematics, geology,
natural science and modern languages,
with as little Latin and Greek and
"other fooleries" as possible
Just before the will was opened
Stephen Umberglowth thought good
to sing the praises of his deceased
cousin by way of a change, for he sel
dom praised living people. He had
also observed that his kinsfolk seemed
to have no lively appreciation of the
deceased's cliaractcrl
"A man of creat shrewdnap he was.
1 assure you,'1 said he, with knowing
wag of the head. "1 used sometimes
to run down and see him. He and 1
were of opposite opinions on all con
ceivable subjects, but I flatter myself
that I ialked him over."
'I onco talked with him about his
religion, but met with no success," re
marked Mr. Gloam, dismally.
"Pooh, pooh, religious systems, my
dear Gloam . Weil, well, "as 3011 are
a parson, I won't say what I think about
lAC77l."
"Why didn't you advise him to in
vite some friends down and shoot his
preserves?" asked Alice Callingclere.
" I never saw such a quantity of pheas
ants and hares going about wild."
"What a sentiment for a woman!''
exclaimed the great Umberglowth.
"You and your husband, my dear, lead
lives absolutely devoid of common
sense, preserving game that 3ou may
kill it; breeding life only to destro. If
3011 want sport, why not make it useful
to the community by destroying rats
and mice?"
" We do when we get a chance,,'
said Alice, mildly.
"Well, 3our uncle was not above the
country gentleman's foible about fox
hunting," confessed Stephen Umber
f'lowth. "When he was young he
mntcd; but in his latter days I tried to
make him understand what a foolish
waste of capital and energy there was
in setting sixty hounds and a3 many
men to gallop after a fox. He used to
listen without answering, but I am sure
I made an impression; he was an old
fashioned gentleman, your uncle, but
very keen and sound of sense. A won
derful accurate judge of character to
begin with."
"I expect he used to praise you, if
3ou say that," laughed Mrs. Calling
clere. "1 am as indifl'ercnt to praise, Alice,
as 1 am to all the luxuries and amuse
ments that seem to please xoti, ' re
marked Stephen, loftily. "Y ur uncle
read me aright, and esteemed me, I be
lieve, which was only natural, as I
never gave him occasion to doubt the
soundness of my judgment."
Here Mr. Purkin. the lawyer, inter
vened: Ladies and gentlemen, if you
are leatly ," he said: so the 1
door was closed, and even body sat
down. Stephen Umberglowth took his
place at the head of the table at the
solicitor's right hand. Mr. Purkin,
who knew the contents of the will, had
given him a hint that he was the heir,
so Stephen felt secure and jubilant, as
the a'.ove conversation showed.
Mr. Purkin broke the seals of the en
velope that contained the w.H and
smoothed out that document amidst a
dead silence. He was a prim, white
haired little man, verv formal in all his
xvays, and he proceeded to read with
tuneful distinctness.
Alter the customary preamble, the
will continued as follows: I bequeath
to my sister-m law, Laity Iscakwvll, the
sum of jlo.OOo and a mourning ring
worth 10( guineas. To 1113' nephew,
Clement ("loam, 2,000; 1 altogether
deprecate his new fangled ritualist an
tics, or I should have lelt him more.
To my nephew, Demi's Callingclere, I
leave K,0iK). and o'0 to his wife to
bity trinkets with; llicy are a pleasant
couple, but it would bo folty to bequeath
the wlole of my estate to a pair of such
scattergoods." Then came a string of
generous legacies to servants ; 200
to the rector of the parish. Dr. Krush;
200 to Dr. Grinning; and at last the
pas-age that concerned Stephen Umber
glowth: " And I appoint 1113 cousin, Stephen
Umberglowth, to be my res'diiarv le;r-
atee. 1 bequeath to him all 1113 estates,"
personal propeity, goods and chattels
not heietoforo devised; and this I do
because he is my neaie-t of kin. lut I
fetter this bequest witli a eoixlitiou.
Stephen Umberglowth has a good opin
ion of him-elt which I hate never
shared. 1 have heard the dog speak
blasphemously of his Maker and g ve
tongue upon all sorts of subjects be
3 ond his comprehension, like an ill
bred puppy. He is a fool puffed up
with his own folty, whom 1 hao often
itched to chastise; and I have resolved
that before he takes possession of an
income of '5O,0.H) he niust undergo a
correction which shall imbue him with
a proper humility of spirit and remain
to him as a memento ot my rebuke from
the grave. 1 therefore order that
within twenty-four hours after the
reading of inv will Stephen I'mber
glowth s'lall kneel for an hour in the
dining-room of Lumber Hall, with a
fool's cap upon his head, and read three
times in an audible voice, so that all
who please to come into the room may
hear him, the tilth and 2."th chapters
ol the Hook of Proverbs. Furthermore,
1 order that at the conclusion of his
hour's penance Stephen Umberglowth
shall receive a sound schooibt3' whip
ping of twelve cuts with a birch troin
coachman. Doddlcs; and I bequeath a
fee of fifty guiuc'is to Doddlcs (in addi
tion to the legacy of 100 already made
him) to inllict this punishment, and
fifty guineas each to Dr lirusli. Dr.
Grinning and Mr. Purkin to witness
the punishment nnd sec that it is ad
ministered with conscientious smart
ness. I charge Doddlcs, if he have any
allection for his old master, not to spare
the roti, hut to lav on with vigor.
In
case, however. Stephen Umhendowth
should decline submitting to penance ,
and stripes, 1 desire that my estate I
shall be disposed of as follows. ,
Ami the will went on to sav that in the !
event of Stephen proving contumacious,
he was to receive 10.000 only, and the
property was to be divided in equal
part between the other relatives al
ready mentioned.
One may imagine how the reading of
the foregoing clauses was received. Alice
Callingclere and her husband could not
refrain from a burst of laughter; a grim
smile hovered over the lips of J.ad3
Keakwell: Mr. Gloam emitted a pious
chuckle, ami Mrs. Gloam blushed. As

'Kut wiry did you allow him to draw

"I diil 1113- best to dissuade him," an
swered Mr. Purkin. "Onh a fortnight

returned to the Hall to ask whether he

"Come, Uncle Stephen, a whipping
won't hurt you," remarked Alice Call-
mgcicre, maliciously.
'And 3-011 will find those two chap
ters in Proverbs well worth 3-our atten
tion," observed Mr. Gloam, pensivety.
"I am in no humor for jesting," cried
Stephen, with a furious stamp of his
foot, "Those insulting clauses must be
set aside the3 are a disgrace to the
man who wrote them."
"Well, Cousin Stephen, it is not our
interest to advise 3011 to be whipped,"
laughed Lad3 Keakwell, dryh. "We
have more to gain by 3-our attacking
the will and getting it set aside."
"The whoTo of It must stand or fall
together," remarked Dennis Callin
clere. "It is the will of a madman," howled
Stephen, unguardedty.
"Oh, Unclo, how can vou pretend
that?" expostulated Alice," with twink
ling eyes.
"Why, on'.j half an hour ago 3011
were sa3ing liow sensible-your cousin
was, and such an accurate judge of
character, to-P
Mr. Umljerglowth glared at his niece
and marched out of the room. When
he was gone Alice had another uncon
trollable fit of laughter, which soon
proved contagious, for all the others
joined in it
Meanwhile the great Stephen wai
pacing up and down his room like ft
hcna of the non-laughing sort. He
was a practical man, mid examined his
position by the help of that far-famed
common sense of his. If he attacked
the will its provisions would be quoted
in all the newspapers, and he should
become the laughing-stock to an un
feeling community; in all likelihood,
too, the will would be set aside and the
property would be divided equally
among the deceased's relatives. Was
it wise to incur such a risk? An hour's
penance lor JX,000 a year was not too
much. To be sure, there was the whip
ping, but that would not take long.
Mr." Umberglowth tried to recollect the
sensations of his last corporal punish
ment at school, but reflection convinced
him that the more he thought upon the
stripes the less he would like them, and
that if he mcaut to go through the pen
ance ho had better get the bus.ncss over
at once. So with a sudden impulse he
ran down stairs an 1 informed his smil
ing relatives that he intended to submit
to the ordeal.
The poor wretch even endeavored to
be jocular, hoping therein to appear
less ridiculous. He caught up a news
paper and made himself a fool's-cap;
then he called for a 1'ible, plumped
down on his knees and began to read
aloud. It must be owned, however,
that he looked more than ever like a
ltycna as he irrowled out: "Judgments
are prepared for scorners and stripes for
the backs of fools." Even the demure
Mrs. (iloam had to cram her handker
chief into her mouth and retire precipi
tator from the room.
The great, but now discomfited, Ste
phen continued to read, under the sus
taining rejection that lie was earning
700 a year per minute, and no inter
ruption arose until towards the end of
the hour, when Doddlcs, the coachman,
entered with a newty-maderod of large
size and evident suppleness. Mr. Pur
kin had ju-t read him the will, and the
wortlty fellow was quite moved.
"Trust me, sir. I'll la3 it on proper
ty," he exclaimed, as he rolled up his
shirtsleeves, "there isn't anything I
wouldn't do for my old master's sake."
"Hold your tongue, you idiot,"
roared Mr. Umberglowth, and he gave
an anticipatory wriggle as he spoke.
Keg pardon, sir, no offense was
meant," said Doddlcs. "I'll wait till
3'ou're reruty."
" I think the hour is up now." re
marked the lawyer, timidly, as he
looked at his watch. "Perhaps h'm
the ladies would like to withdraw "
The ladies did withdraw, and so did
the gentlemen who had not been de
puted to witness the execution. The3
went into the next room and waited
in silence. Soon the sounds that fell
on their ear: convinced them that Dad
dies was laboring diligently to deserve
his fee.
The punishment was over. The great
and plump Stephen had born it stoical
ly or, at aity rate, wiMiout bawling,
lint a few moments afterward a sudden
shout of consternation and anger arose.
It drew Dennis Callingclere to the door,
and made all the others troop in after
him as soon as the3 were told that llicy
could intrude with propriety.
What had happened was this: When
Doddlcs had discharged his t-tsk (which
truly seemed to have been a labor of
love to him), he drew from his pockot
a folded paper, saying to the heir whom
he had chastened:
"Keg pardon, sir, as I was overhaul
ing the carriage when wc returned
from the funeral I found this in one of
the pockets."
"WIty, it's another will!" shrieked
Stephen, forgetting the smart of his
stripes in this new shock
" 1 dessrty, sir. M3' poor master
mut have put it there the hist time he
went for an airing, ten days ago. IIu
had told me to drive to Mr. Purkin's.
but half w:iy there he felt so bail that
we had to drive back, and he was un
conscioui when we lifted him out of the
carriage."
"Confusion and curses!" bellowed
Stephen Umberglowth, as he opened
the document and scrutinized its con
tents. "VI13 why, this will divides
the propcrt3 among us in four equal
paits. Then then I have submitted
to this indignity, this monstrous in
dignity for nothing."
He clenched his fists anil strode
towards Doddlcs, as if he would have
pulverized him, but his niece Alice
laid a soothing hand on his arm.
"Never mind. Uncle Stephen, ou

than aityof us, after all. London Iruth.
How to (ict Kicli.
There are two w.ty-s to get rich tho
right way and the wrong way; the easy
way and the impossible way; the com
mon way and the rare wav. And oi
course the wrong and impossible way is
the common wa3.
To be rich is to have all the 11101103
-ou want, is it not? And the common
way of trving to get rich is to trv to
Sc't
monev enough lor one s wants.
The ineradicable and unconqucrablo
difficulty in this way is that the wants
alwa3s grow faster than the monc3
pile, "i ou wart to be rich enough to
hire a horse and buggy; when 3ou
begin to hire, you want to own a horse;
wlien 3ou drive our own horse, you
want to own a span; when you have a
span, you want a pony for the children.
A hundred millions ought to he a com
fortable competence; but Mr. Vandcr
bilt has lately been a large, borrower of
money. When a man buys railroads as
other men buy horses he ma3 bo in
straightened circumstances though he
has lifty millions in tinted States
bonds. The more monev a man has
1 " ------- "w "
ing in in front was running out behind.
An insatiable spirit is worse than
Karon Munchausen's horse; the more it
drinks the thirstier it grows.
The onh way to be rich is to keep
one's desires "within his income. If
one wants what live cents can bin, and
1 he has ten cents, he is wtalthv. A
. bright dime to a street ar.ib is greater
' wealth than a thousand dollars to a
merchant prince. The right way to be
rich is never to want what 3011 cannot
buv; then 3011 always have as much
mone3 as 3011 want. Th s is the eas3
way. 2so man can regulate the con
tents of his purse; 'even man can
regulate the quality of his desires.
Capital is not within evciy man's at
tainments; contentment is. He is
wcaltlty who has learned two arts:
first, how to be contented with what he
can get: second, how to use what he
has. Abrah-im Lincoln had a better
library in the single covcrle-s book
which" he read b3 the light of the pitch
pine knots in the Kentucky cabiii than
the man who has lncd the walls of
what he ironically calls his libraty with
calfskin bindings at so much a square
foot It is always easy to have plenty
of mono3; spend less than 3011 earn.
It is always easy to have all the money
on want; want less than yon have.
Tho cases of actual suffering from cold,
nakedness or hunger are in this coun
try very rare Inall other cases Paul's
prescription for wealth is the "best that
was ever devised: "Having food and
raiment, let" us be therewith content"
The lesson he learned in prison in Home
is worth all the lessons taught in col
legebusiness or otherwise since the
world began: "I have learned, in what
soever state I am, therewith to be con-
1 tent" Clmstian union.
Large er Small Farms.
Ideas about agriculture arc diversi
fied and often conflicting, but it seems
to be a generally accepted one that
small farms are better than large ones.
It is quite fashionable for agricultural
writers to decry large farms and to de
clare that the great reason of the poor
status of agriculture is that our farm3
are too large. This is held to be es
pecially true of the. Western States. It
may be so. The greed for land hn
been great, yet I am inclined to think
that the evil is not so great as it is rci
rcsentcd to be. Still there is some rea
son for the idea. There is a Urn t to
the capabilities of every man. both men
tal and physical; and the cheapness of
Western laud has caused many men to
tr and farm twice as much land as the3
should. I5ut not unfrcquently th" mau
who farms one hundred a'-res docs as
badh as the one who has live hundred.
He may have proportionatcty a greater
excess." Some men can larm five times
as much land as others. In fact as far
at m3own,observtion goes, in is our
largest farmers who are our best farm
ers. 1 think that the w:iy the land is
tilled does not depend so much on the
number of acre- in the farm as on -the
svstem. intc ligcnt brain work niidJ
strict bii-iiness principle of the farmer
himself.
Large fanrs have -om disadvan
tages. I do not think that one man
can probabh farm more than eighty
acres of good tillable land. If he is
uble to run four times this much he
must hire three hands to help X. -II it
Now this brings -labor an I capital in
contrast, and make- only one land
holder where there should be four.
Then the hired man has no personal
interest in his work; whether ho does
his woifc well or bad it makes no dif
ference to hjni. so he gets his w:ige.
Human nature is always patttal to
shirking: as a consequence four-fifths
of the hired farm hands of thocounuy
shirk their work and the result is poor
fanning.
Kut tho great trouble is that the
farmer in hi- ha-te to get more land
goes into debt. Probably he has
enough money to btty and well stock
eighty acres. Kut instead of so (long,
he buys one hundred aud sixty, goes
into debt and has no money for stock
or fanning i'lipiement-. With no cattle
or sheep to eat the fodder or slnw, or
Ewinc to eat the corn, the produce that
can be marketed is sold oil' o: the
farm. This in t.me will impoverish
any farm. What we want i stock
enough to cit the grain, straw and fod
der raised on the farm. Kut the larmier
has not the stock, neither has he farm
ing iii'plements and machiuci. He
uses old plows, rollers, dras," cubi
ators, scythes, hoes, etc and of
course cannot do good farming with
them. Ju-t as a carpenter could ii"t
do good carpentering with worn out
tools. He hiics Irs neighbor's reaper
and drill, and of eonre waits until IiU
neighbor, cut or drills his oungiain.
While waiting. la tunes out ot ten,
his rrain lodges, becomes loo ripe, or
CISC'" his Avheat ground that he h-id
realty for the drill that he is wai'.'ng
for gets out of coudit on. This is poor
farming. I cannot blame a larnior so
situated for complaining of hard times,
while all the time the dreadful thought
aud fact of debt hangs over him and
his wife, to give uneasiness during the
day and unrest at night.
Suppose that he had purchased onlv
eighty acres of land. Then he would
have had momy to stock It. bu neces
sarv farm machinery of good quality,
and have had a little realty eah for
safe bargains. Kight here is the great
defect of our farming to daj. So awful
many of us arc always hard up. wo
have none of the wherewithal where
wo cm handle it A neighbor wants
to sell some calves or hogs at figures
that will give a Inrgain to the pur
chaser, but wc have no money to bin
and some speculator pockets the gain.
There is always something happening
whcrelty wc might make monev if we
had a little realty capital to employ. I
would not advise farmers to -pe uilate
and neglect their own business, hut
there are often little speculation per
fectly safe and reasonably profitable
that" the farmer might engage in.
When a neighbor has cheap hogs and
another cheap corn for sale, the farmer
with reaity capital could buy both, and
feeding the corn to the hogs reap a rich
reward.
A farmer in debt often practices false
ccononty. He has forty acres of corn
to put out He feels poor, resolves to
economize, does not hire help, but re
solves to prepare the ground aud culti
vate the corn himself. If he had noth
ing else to do. lost no time by rain or
anv other cause, he might put out and
cultivate that area of corn. Kut it
commences to rain, the fanner gets in
a hum, plows when the ground is wet,
and as" a consequence breaks upcloddv,
puts the corn in the mud. does not cul
tivate it property, and gels twenty bush
els of corn per acre.
Or he concludes that he cannot n'ord
to fiv some weak fence, and that night
the cattle break over the fence and dc
stro3 the wheat and corn. -tJ. J. iStahl,

(i)e for Curing Moni,
As the season has arrived xvhen
curing meat is in order. wc republish as
of old, our famous recipe for curing
beef, pork, mutton, hams, etc, as fol
lows: To one callon of water, take IX
lbs. of salt, A lb. sugar, I oz. saltpeter,
oz. potash. (Omit the pot.ash unless
ou can get the pure article. Druggists
tisualli keep it.")
In this ratio tho pickle cau be in
creased to any quantit3 desired. Let
the-e be boiled together until all the
dirt from the sugar rises to the top and
is skimmed oil. Then throw it into a
tub to cool, and xvhen cold, pour it over
vottr beef or pork. The meat must be
well-covered with pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two dajs
after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with pow
dereiLsaltpetcr, "which removes all tho
surf..cc-blood, etc., leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling
the pickle, and iind it to answer rcr3
well, though the operation of boding
purifies the pickle, by throwing otl the
dirt always to be found in salt and
sugar. If this recipe is strictly fol
lowed, it will require only a s'ngle trial
to prove its superiority over the com
mon way, or most ways, of putting
down meat, and will not soon be aban
doned for anx other- The meat is un
5urp.assed for sweetness, delicacy and
freshness of color. GcrmajUoictl Ttlc

A poor barrel of flour is a source of
wa-te, as xvell as extreme anno3ance to
the housewife. The best family Hour
has a slightly yellow tinge, and the
bread made from it is more substantial
than from most of the brands of pastry
Hour. For the inexperienced voting
housekeeper a safe plan is to purchase
a bag of the kind desired first, then
when a good qualitx has been obtained,
insist upon the barrel being of the same
grade. If it fails to come up to the
"right standard, return it. Grocers soon
learn not to palm off an inferior article
upon one who is in earnest in the mat
ter. Flour that is dark in color, and
when the douirh made from it flattens
out instead of rising up light and puffy,
is made from grown grain and has not
the nutritive value of l!onr of good
quality. Sometime' a barrel of the fa
vorite'brand will not hold true to name,
and will prove of inferior qualfy-. It is
well for the housekeeper to personal y
supervise the making of the lirst one or
two batches of brea 1 Irom a i.ew b.trrel

The compo-it'on of buckwheat has
been examined by M. (. Leehart.er.
lb- states that the proportion of mineral
matter in the straw increases with the
weight The straw nm indeed become
richer in phosphoric acid than the
gram, dillenng thus completely from
that of the other cereals. The -trawof
t. crop of buckwheat mav contain more
mineral matter than does the gram.
The sum of the principal fertilizers re
moved from the soil 13 an entire crop
i much more considerable than for a
crop of wheat containing tho same
quantity of grain.
Cream to u-e with any kind of
layer cake is made from this recipe:
Take one pound of bl.un-hcd almonds,
pounded to a pa-te, one collee cup
of thick, sour cream, two table-poon-fuls
of corn starch scalded in a little
sweet milk, beat all together and
spread between the la3trs of the cake;
ifavor with a little almond extract.
Tht" is very rich and i- suitable for the
11ice.1l kinds of cake. For more com
mon use an inviting cream ina3 be
made in th s way '1 ake a pint of sweet
milk, thicken it with half a cup of corn
alarch. add half a cup of sugar and boil
until the crouni or custard ii of the
on-i-tcmy of starch. When almo-t
cool add one tablesponnful of lemon or
vanilla and spread between tho layers
of the cake.
There is no bettor wav of restoring !
soil than bygrowingand plowing under
clover. T in- dilliculty is in inducing
tlie clover to grow upon soils so poor
as to need thi- method of improvement.
I'ut when the soil is in fair condition,
if this prai-tie is begun and cont.nued,
it will then keep it improving without
diibeulU. If your soil is good enough
to produce clover, there would be no
better waj" to improve ii than b3- seed
ing it and plowing in the crop. Hut if
it is a'readv poor, it is probable that
the attempt to grow a crop of oats and
get a good catch of i-lover by the u-e ol
plaster alone might fail. This depends
ou the condition of the soil, of which
3011 will tie the best judge. If the soil
is too poor to do this, it would be bet
ter to sow buckwheat in May and plow
it in in July and sow aain. and then
seed with clour, and in August run
over the md-l with a mower, when the j
nuekwncai is in iiio.-som, ami cm 11
ilon 11. and leave it on the ground as a
protection and fertilizer for the clover.
The cloier will be large enough to plow
in the next fall when in seed, aud the
ground 111:13 be sown to rye or wheat, 1
or left for corn tho next season. A', j

.Shk Animals.
-i is a remarkable fact that in a state
of Nature we seldom tee a sick animal.
Of iour-e. when a bea-t or bird be
come a little weak, it is an cas pre;
to carnivorous animals that arc alwas
on the lookout for chance-, and thW
will keep down the number of .-iek sub
jects, that would otherwise conic befoto
ik. But it is not likch that it would
keep down all. and allowing, therefore,
for this iiosstbility of an early taking
oil of a weak subject, we should .-till
see some and ccrtainry many more than
we do. We think it is tolerably cer
tain that when in a state of Nature
not near as many diseases fol
low an animal, as when it is tinder
domestic care.
It is quite probable that there is
much more in the popul.ir phrase about
killing things with kindne-s than wo
imagine. Not that we should be harsh
or unfeeling, but wo do main things
under the feeling of care that are tin-necu-sarv.
and even injurious to do.
We do things for -onie certain reason,
and then cont nue the practice from
habit without any rca-on at a'l. Take,
for instance, the wa in which a brood
of young chicken- are trca'ed. It is
qu'tc likely that if there is lon-r grass
about or tall weeds, the xoung max
be dragged through bv a thon-ihU
less lieu till the little chickens are
tired out, or perhaps lost. To guard
against this, the hen is put into a coon
as soon as the chickens are hatched till
the are strong enough to follow pretty
xvell xvherever she 111:13 lead them.
This boing usually the case on farms,
the practice became rather common, nil
cver3 one thinks a young brood with
the mother must be" cooped up. Those
who refuse or neglect to follow this
j-ractice would be thought to be xtr3
green sort of people. No one ever
thinks to ask why the; do this. Onl
it is the practice and it is done.
But the experience of large numbers
prove that many 3-oung clrcks are lost
every year b3 the most attentive pains
taking. It is not too much to say that
not ouc-half and this is a goou aver
aire ever live to grow
the other hand, how rarely
