THE FARMER. . Jxd llulea for (Jurdentrs. Never work with bad tuok Th Jif furence ictwern ihe work done in ft month would buy a set of imw ones. Hare rdac for every tool, sud never lr-v on out of its iifncoi or, to po farther, "n plnco for everything ami everything in itt placo." Nver wasto animal or vegetable ro fuse. The very soap-suds from the laun dry are ri h manure. litre ftll flower-pots waaliod, dried, and nut awav as soon as ihev are omnlv. Never fill a pot So full of soil but that it may hold water enough to fro through it; every pc should have half an inch of vacancy above the compost. ' Never grow a had variety of anything, if Vou can help it. It takes the snine room, and wants the same attention as a rood one. Never buv chenn seed. It is only by getting good prices that a seedsman can imply articles to be depended upon. Cover all seeds with at least their own thickness of soil i but as some of it gets washed oft, you must allow for it. . Gather fruit in dry weather, and with the sun shining, and place them as care fully in the banket as if they were gloss. The smallest bruise commences a decay. Never subject a plant to a rapid change of temperature. Sudden check or sudden excitement are equally injurious. Never grow the same crops, nor crops ol the same family twice on the same spot without an intervening crop of a dif ferent nature. ' Never transplant shrubs and trees in n growing state. However carefully it anay be done, the check is dangerous, if iot fatal. Keep all kinds of plants under glass as close as possible to the light. Never tie up lettuces or endives, or earth up celery, except when perfectly dry. They are sure to spoil if y ni do. Keep your plants clean. Dust and dirt on leaves make the plant unhealthy, and will in time kill it. , Never grow a plant too fast ; it is no credit to you, because anybody can do it, -and it spoils the crop to a certainty. Never train or support a plant un naturally. Climbers will not do hanging about. Trailers will not do climbing. Working Oseu. Conversing with a gentleman the other day about oxen, ho made a remark which may be of essential service to many who ' are not as well acquainted with the pecu liarities of thoso valuable animals as they would desire to be. Oxen" (said he), "are frequently ruined for the summer s work, or spoiled entirely by over-driving, -during the first warm days of spring. Until there is a full bite of grass, oxen are not canble of rreat exertion in hot r weather ; but after they are turned out -'into good pasture, if they have not been previously injured, they will perform in a very satisfactory manner,- Tho great danger is when we first begin our spring's work. Then they should be handled with .very great caution, even though they do a very small day'a labor. Managing in this way, my oxen, in the heat of sum mer, will plow as much as horses." pOA(ffiSTIO How to Cook Eggs. Dropped Eoos are probably the most healthful form in which they can be pre pared for the table. Break the egg very carefully into a pan of scalding water, and let the water come gradually to a buil, re moving the eggs with a skimmer as soon as the while is set. Serve on a hot plat . 4er with a little salt, pepper and butter, or lay the eggs on hoi buttered toast. For invalids, use cream instead of butter. Boiled Eoos. Drop them in the she) into boiling water, and boil from two to ' three minutes, according as you witdi tlie whites lightly or thoroughly done. A fresh laid ep-jr requires a naif minute more of boiling thou an old one. -Poached Egos.- Bent the eggs to froth, add salt, pepper and butter, turn them into a buttered pan and cook slowly over a few coals, or better yet, over boil- ing water, Mirnnjr constantly ti'l delicate Jy set, then serve on toast or vegetables or 111 a tush by themselves. . Baked Eggs. Butler an earthen baking dish, break the ers in carefully, sprinkle a little pepper and salt over, lay on a few crumbs of butter, and bake . slowly till the white is set. . 'Fried Eggs are commonly cooked too much. Tbey should not be turned, but the hot fat should, be constantly poured over them with a spoon till the white is set, when they are ready to be served Omelette. Beat six eggs, add a lit tie minced boiled ham or other meat, or if preferred, a little chopped parsley and ' onion, with salt, pepper, and two ounces w uuuer. i urn 11. into a greaseu trying pan over a slow tire, or over boiunir wa ter, and stir till it begius to set. he brown on the under side, it is done ; then lay a flat plate over the top, and turn your pun upside down. It should be cooked - slightly and eaten quickly. O. Farmer Washing Silverware. It seems that housekeepers who wash their silverware with soap and water, as the common practice is, do not know what v they are about. The proprietor of one of the oldest silver establishments in the city of Philadelphia, says that house keepers ruin their silver by washing it in soapsuds; it makes it look like pewter. Never put a particle of soap about you t-ilver, and it will retain its original lustre, When it wants polish take a piece of soft Wither and whiting, ana ruo 11 nam. GREAT SALE OP LOTS in PACIFIC CITY!! nm.i.t OI STV, IOWA. Terminus of tht Hiirtini(fon iV Missouri 7?iW Ritilrottit.

Pacific City In situated In Mills county, lows, on a beautiful plateau of g round In tlie Great valley of the Missouri, three miles east of th month of PUtt or Nebraska river, four miles east of Plattsinouth, the Nebraska ter minus or tlit It. k M. It. It., thirty miles north cast of Nebraska City, twenty-five miles south of Council Shift's, lows, ami Omaha City In Nebraska. It Is adjoining the bluffs of the Missouri river, at the entrance of Poney creek into tne bottom, it cxirmi lino inn 110110111 two miles ami within two miles of the channel of the Missouri river, the bottom gradually de rending to the river. The uncertainty of the river banks for a mile east of tht river disap proves, of the propriety of building within that distance of the river. The location Is a healthy, romantic, and beautiful one, being backed by blurfs two r,f three hundred feet hitch, upon the top of which I may be seen the great Missouri bottom for thirty miles aoulli, ana twenty miles norui Tlie site has long been looked upon as one of the most beautiful sites in Western Iowa for a large and thriving City, and hns been held by the first settlers in Iowa for that pur pose, only awaiting the improvement of tlis country, the demands for such a town, and the Railroad facilities which are soon to bs completed. A branch of th Burlington and Missouri River Railroad will be built, both north and south of this place. Tlie St. Joseph, Council Hlulls, anil Hioux City llailrnail will umlouul edly run Immediately through the town i'e. Stone of the best quality and most extensive In Western Iowa lies one mile south, and four miles north of the lown. Four steam mills within five miles of the town are In successful operation, sawing from three to five thousand feet per day, besides a number of water mills. Another steam mill Is on the way to be put up in the town. A newspaper will be published there by the rirst or June next. Lumber Is now on the ground, and being awed, to erect fifteen or twenty houses. Contracts have been made to burn two and half million brick this season. The advantage which this place has over 11 others In western Iowa -the Railroad fa- ilities which Pacific City eannot miss hav ng, togetlicr Willi being supplied wltli tlie est water in the world, with timber, and the est agricultural counties in Western Iowa and Nebraska lying east and west of it, is a sure in dication that lone ere the Railroad is comple. eel that racllic City will be the largest city est or Jiuriington, Terms of sale will be one-third down 1 one- ilrd in four, and one third in eight months. this will be the last and only chance to pro cure lots of the Company, ns tho remaining lots after the sale will be devided among the numbers of the. Company, and hence will be come the property of privato individuals, and prices, as a matter of course, be advanced. J. W. COOMDQK. . Wm. Stseiti:, ' S. H. Moes, M. W. C2SF.F.KK, C. Nuckolls, Wt.
