The Farm and Household. i Our Count? Fair, We wish we could impress'upon every farmer, mechanic, and producer in Noble county the propriety and utility of contributing something towards making the annual Fair for 1873 more attrictive, and better, than any of its predecessors. This should he done by all means, and can: be accomplished very feasily, if all parties who are interested in and benefited by the Fair, will only appreciate the matter properly and put forth a little effortin that direction.

"All sensible men know that these annual meetings for exhibition of products, comparison of“ methods and results, and for social intercourse are of infinite value every way, both socially dnd practically, to the parties who participate in them. Every one feels better for having taken:part in them, and very much sreal good has been and will be done tltrough'their instrumentality. This being true, why not all go hand in hand and make it general, so that the good feeling and beneficial results may also become general. Then, to bring about such a desirable result, let every man, woman :illh' child, in Noble county, without regard to age or condition, bring something to the Fair, and, by so doing, benefit himself and at the same time confer a benefit and pleasure upon -others. L

¢ TO MAKE CIDER AND WINE. Mr. W. B. Wilkes, in one of his letters to the Aberdeen Examiner, gives his process for preserving the freshness of cider and making wine from cider and grapes. The process is new - to us, but we think that its exceeding - simplicity and the well known char- - acter of the writer are sufficient commendations to make it worthy of a . trial by all who grow apples and grpes, ‘We copy as follows: ; | Sweet, fresh cider in summer is one . of the luxuries we can- easily enjoy, but to have it sweet during the winter is not 80 common. - This is easily and cheaply done, and ( requires'but little trouble, In my ¢ family we take bottles’ and fill them ' with sweet cider; set these in a vessel - or pot—a'good sized one will hold fifteen or twenty—fill with cold water - up to the neck of the hottles and start a fire under it. The glass being a better conductor than the water, the - cider will boil before the water, and being full the scum will flow over, As soon as the water begins fto boil take out the bottles, cork well while the contents are rarefied, wire down and hermetically seal, and the cider during the winter will be as sweet as when bottled. - To keep through the winter anq protect from freezing, bury them, neck . down, in an out-house, with a little covering of dirt, so as to be easily I gotten as needed, ‘ B A good and refreshing wine is made from sweet cider. This we make from a recipe requiring neither weight / BOT measures. - Strain the cider—to free from sediment— into a vessel, either bucket, tub or barrel, no matter what .quantity. Take a fresh egg, drop into the cider, it will sink to the bottom ; stir in sugar; the egg rises - as'the sugar is added; 8o soon as the efgl will float, and show the size of a - dime, it is then sufficiently filled with saccharine matter to make good wine.

This should then be strained into a clean, sweet barrel, and a piece of gauze or thin muslin being tacked over the bung hole. In six weeks, or as soon as the effervescing noise ceases, stop tightly, to remain until February. Then draw off (through a faucet put in at the time of filling) and strain through flannel, into a sweet; ‘clean barrel, and by summer the wine will be as rich and strong as from grapes; however, it has an agreeable cider flavor. = By the same recipe we make grape and scuppernong wine, - Using this process we never fail. There is a certain amount of saccharine matter needed to make good wine in the South; this the egg determines, ‘being a perfect saccharometer. | 1f grapes are gathered during rainy. weather there is more water in the juice, if very dry, less water and more saccharine matter.

The egg perfectly determines the amount needed in the South. - When wine is made in the North, late in the season, having cool, dark cellars, no sugar or aleohol is needed, or if any, very'little. We have tried loaf sugar and ‘aleohol, also good brown sugar, rich in' saccharine matter, and never could perceive any difference. The saccharine matter seems alone needed, any impurities will settle in the lees. With these wines we make Dbitters; and entirely supplant the use of any intoxieating liquors in the family.

PRESERVING PEARS AND APPLES. The following plan is simple and efficacipus. The apples and pears should be placed in earthen vessels, each containing about a gallon, and surrounding each fruit with paper. These vessels being perfect eylinders, about a foot each in height, stand very convenientlpglpim each other, and present the means of preserving a very large quantity of fruit in a very small room, and if the spaces between ,the top of one vessel and the bottom of another be filled with cement;composed ef two parts of skimmed milk and one of lime, by which the air will be excluded, the later kinds of apples and pears will be preserved with little change in their appearance, and without any ‘danger of decay, from October until February or March. A dry and cold situation, where there is but little change of temperature, is the best for the vessels; but the merits of the pears are greatly increased by their being taken from the vessels about ten days before they are wanted for use and kept in a warm room, for warmth at this, as well as at any other period, accelerates the maturity of the pear. ‘

~ WHAT THE FARMERS MUST KNOW. The farmer, like the business man must know what he is doing; he must have some pretty decided ideas of what he is to accomplish—in faet, he must calculate before hand. He must know his soil—that of each lot not -only the top, but the subsoil. bl 4 He must know what grain and grass are adapted to each. : He must know when is the Dbest time‘to work them, whether they need summer fallowing. o e must know the condition in which the ground must be when plowed, so that it be not too wet nor too dry. ‘ « He must i;nowthat some grain requires earlier sowing than others, and what these grains are. . . He must know how to put them in. ITe must know that' it will pay to have machinery to help him as well as muscle. : : ‘ ITe must know about stock manures, and the cultivation of tress and small fruits, and many others things;. in a wotd he must know what experienced and observing farmers know, to be sure of success. Then he will not guess—will not run sueh risks.— Eachange. . :

* APPLE MARMALADE.—To make apple marmalade, boil some apples with the peel off them until they are perfectly soft, which may be known by pressing them between the thumb and fingers; then remove them from the fire and throw them into cold water; pare them; place them on a sieve and press the pulp from the cores. The putp, which has passed through the sieve, place in a stew-pan and set the pan over'the fire long enough to remove the moisture, so that the pulp may become rather thick. Take an equal quantity in weight of lump sugar a§ of pulp; clarify the sugar and boil it to a good syrup; add the pulp to it and stir them well together with a spatula or wooden spoon ; place them on a fire and as soon as they begin to boil removeithem. The process is completed. When the marmalade has become a little cool, put it into pots, but do not cover the pots until it is quite cool.

The following receipt for canning corn ib recommended by one who has tested it: . . “l have been quite successful in canning corn to keep well. I cut the corn from the cob, put into a kettle, and cover with water. Then dissglve two ounces of tartaric acid in one pint of hot water; add six tablespoonfuls of the liquid to each gallon of corn, and boil the corn five minutes after it has been put in; then put into cans, and be careful not to press the corn tightly but let the water stand over it, and seal and keep in a cool place. When you open the can, empty into a crock and wash through a couple of waters ; add a half teaspoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of sugar to one guart of corn, and finish with salt, pepper, butter, and if you like, a little cream and flour. Now cook five minutes and I will insure you your corn will taste quite natural.” :

VERY FINEPRESERVED PEACHES. Take fine, ripe freestone peaches, pare them, cut them in halves and remove the stones. lave ready a sufficiency of the best double-refined loaf sugar, finely powdered. Weigh the sugar and the peaches together, putting the sugar into one scale and the | beaches into the other and balance evenly. Put the peaches into a pail or tureen and stew among them onehalf of the sugar.” Cover them and let'them stand in a cool place until the next morning. Then take all the juice from them and put into a porcelain preserving keéttle with the remainder of the sugar. Set it over a moderate fire, boil and skim it, When it is boiling well and the skam has ceased to rise, put in the peaches and boil until they are soft but not until they break.

TO MAKE PURE WINE OF CIDER. Take pure cider from sound, ripe apples as it runs from the press; put sBixty pounds of common brown sugar into fifteen gallons of cider and let it dissolve; then put the mixture into a clean vessel, and fill the barrel up to within two gallons of being full with clean cider; put it in a cool place, leaving the bung out for forty-eight hours; then put’in the bung, with a small vent, until fermentation wholiy ceases, and bung it up tight. . In one year the wine will he ready for use. This wine requires no racking; the lgnger it stands upon the lees. the betl‘. . e ¢ =

PRESERVES—To prevent jams, preserves, etc., from graining, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar must be added to every gallon of the jam or preserves.

APPLE JELLY.— Apples make an excellent jelly. The process is as follows: They are pared, quartered, and the core completely removed, then put into a pot without water, closély covered, and put into an oven or over a fire. When pretty well stewed the juice is to be squeezed out through a cloth, to which a little white of an egg is added, then the sugar. Skim it previous to boiling, then reduce it to a proper consistency, and an excellent jelly will be the product. : e @ B—— Modern “Christianity.” Two weeks ago last Sunday ayoung lady was ordered out of a pew in the Presbyterian Church by a member.— Two lady members had taken the old carpet that belonged to the church and carpeted their pews, when lo! and behold! a young woman, who though of the lower walks of life, is respectable, notwithstanding her garb may nof be “purple and fine linen,” comes -into the so-called House of God,(?) takes a seat which is as free to all as any others in the house, when she is sneeringly informed that the pew belongs to another person and she had better “get out of it.” The young' lady goes home and tells of her experience at church and ‘in a few days “town talk” gets hold of the affair, and then the very parties who insulted the young lady have the impudence to call. at her home, tell her family that they must say it is not so, ete., “as it would injure the church.” Such is present day Christianity in this the afternoon of the 19th century, in the town of Liberty, county of Union and State of Indiana. *“Oh, how happy are they who their Savior obey.” No, we cannot close this article thus lightly and thereby ecast an imputation upon true Christians and the church referred to, but we will say that there is entirely too much of this kind “work” done by church members, and that such actions fully convinee us of the truth of our convictions, that present day hypocrisy is by no means true Christianity.— Liberty Herold. e

: My Mother. Let the boys and girls read the following: ' ’ Despise not thy mother when she is old. Age may wear and waste a mother’s beauty, strength, limbs and estate, but her relation as mother is as the sun when it goes forth in his might, for it is always in the meridian, and knoweth no evening. Theperson may be gray-headed but the motherly relation is ever in its flourish: It may be autumn, yes winter with a woman, but with the mother it is always spring. . Alas; how little do we appreciate a mother's tenderness, while living!— How heedless are we in youth of all her anxieties and kindness! But when she is dead and gone—when the cares and coldness of the world come withering to our hearts—when we experience how hard it is to find true sympathy—how few love us for ourselves —how few will befriend us in misfortune, then it is that we think of the mother that we have lost. -

Duty of the Democratic Party. ° [From the Albany Argus (Dem.)] We want no long letters, no resolutions of petty details, no talk about names, no mourning about blunders of the past, no courting either of enemies or cowards, no language of doubt, no words of fear, no moderate promptness, no timid boldness, no mean passiveness to meet the threatening emergency of the period. We want bold and honest men, who fear God more than they fear the enemies of their country. ILet honest Democrats everywhere arise in their strength and assert the might and dignity of the party. They have but three words to utter and to inseribe on their banners: Liberty and the Republic; the Constitution and the Union. Democracy has made them glorious in the past; it will defend them in the future.

;The laws of all, or nearly all, the States exempt churches and the property of religious corporations from taxation. That of New York also exempts $1,500 of property -owned by clergymen of all denominations. The Independent of last week discusses the subject in a masterly manner, and reaches the conclusion that no reason can be given for the tax exemption of ecclesiastical property that is not false in the fact it affirms or in the inference it seeks to draw. Regarding the exemption, therefore, as a practical injustice to tax-payers, the Independent announces that it intends hereafter to seek the correction of the evil. Such, we believe, is the drift of intelligent public opinion everywhere.

WE would not advise any of our neéwly married friends to go into Illinois to spend the honeymoon, for the law against discriminations on railroads makes it very disagreeable traveling for those who wish to engage in honeymoon “billing and cooing.”— A conductor on one of these roads, observing a bridegroom’s arm out of place, forbade other demonstrations. “But I have a right to hug her,” .said the indignant bridegroom. “Not on a railroad,” said the conductor; “there is a law against all unjust discriminations on railroads, and as I haven'’t a woman for each man on the train to hug, your action is in violation of the law and must be stopped.” !

Kings and Emperors are ot sup_bosed to have any special admiration for republican governments, but they do not object to good securities, even when tainted with republicanism.— Thus it transpires that the German government is- using the proceeds of: the French war indemnity to invest largely in United States bonds. On Wednesday of last week the Secretary received notice of five millons additional beifig invested by the Berlin Government in American five per cent, bonds, making seventeen millions altogether. Thus the money exacted by Germany from one republic is made to contribute to the support of another. S

- The attention of young ladies who have exhausted all interest in ordindry social pleasures is invited to the following new parlor game: ILet a young’ man procure a stick of candy (the shorter the better) before starting to see his sweetheart.” Wait until the “old folks have left the parlor when he must insert one end of the stick ¢ in his mouth and induce his “Dulcinea” to take the other between her honey-coated lips. Both commence sucking the candy at the same time. Now, the point in the game i 3 to see which shall get to the middle of the stick first. When that point is reached remain there as long as possible. : ;

The expenses of the municipal government of New York fer the last fiscal year were $52,390,000. Receipts, $33,250,000, leaving a deficit of nearly $29,000,000 to be added to the enormons debt of the city. If this thing keeps on the people will long for the restoration of Tweed’s plundering rule. While Tweed robbed the city the reformers ignorantly and foolishly waste its money.

“Sow wheat in the dust if you want to raised a good crop,” is the old Dutch adage. Our farmers say they would willingly do this if they could only get their ground broke. i

A friend of ours was recently blessed by an addition to his household. Next morning the happy father took his five-year-old boy into the room to see his.little brother, who was quietly enjoying his morning nap, with his little mouth wide open. All were quietly watching the elder brother, desirous to catch his first observation. With eyes firmly fixed on the new comer, and with a countenance showing trouble within, after a few moments silence he defiantly exclaimed: “I should like to know who has pulled out the baby’s teeth.”

Farmers are beginning to see and feel that they pay taxes, while somebody steals the profits.of their labors, leaving them without a dime at the end of the year. They see that and feelit, and though they may not understand how it is, they will soon find out that the legislation of the country is in the hands of jobbers, land grabbers, and trading politicians who are the tools of monopolies and is nothing more or less than a tender to that power that is crushing out the very life of all the laboring men of the nation. —Sullivan Democrat. :

A WASHINGTON dispateh says: “ExPresident Johnson intends to visit this city in the course of a few days. ‘While here he expects to collect documents and. other proofs to substantiate his reported assertion that he knew nothing ‘of the appeals which were made for executive clemency in the case of Mrs. Surratt, and to controvert the recent statements published by Judge Holt, alleging in fact that Mr. Johnson refused to listen to, or take notice of, appeals made to him te save Mrs. Sarratt from the gallows.”

‘Just because a wife in Norwich, Connecticut, found her husband in a theater with a pretty young -lady, when he said he was going to an important lodge-meeting, she proceeded to take down said young fair one’s back hair, and to remove sundry articles of wearing appdrel from her shapely person without the formality of an introduction. Are we men to have no rights, we rise to ask? What right had the wife to be in that theater without the knowledge and consent of her husband ?

A SUFFERER wants to know how to prevent nightmare. Eat less. One supper of toasted cheese, fried oysters, pickled salmon and lobsters has been sufficient to make us dream that six cross-eyed blacksmiths were engaged in fitting us with a red-hot boiler and cast-iron stomach, which was being fastened by poisoned pivots, or that we were falling into a hole a thousand miles deep, with a cream-colored idiot on our back probing us with a hayfork te make us go faster.—Ea.

- A man in Whitehall kicked another man and was arrested for so doing.-— ‘When brought-before a justice of the peace, he informed his Honor that the man he had kicked was a light-ning-rod man. The justice discharged hirm with the remark: “The man who wouldn’t 'kick a lightning-rod man whenever he finds one, is unfit to enjoy the liberties for which Washington fought and Thomas Paine wrote.” That justice had paid’ five hundred dollars for lightning-rods on his house last spring. =~ i s ——tr An old negro minister, in a sermbn on hell, pictured it as a region of ice and snow, where -the damned froze through eternity. When privately asked his purpose in representing Gehenna in this way, he said: “I don’t dare to tell them people nothing else.. Why, if I was to say that hell was warm, some of them old rheumatic niggers would be waiting to start down the first frost.” j e ] i Up in Towaa little boy who could n't fix himself by eating watermelons managed to prepare a very neat child’s corpse by eating green peaches and swallowing the stones.
