The Farm and Household. Teo Make Beef Tender. ) . Those who have worn down their teeth in masticating poor old tough cow beef, will be glad to learn that common carbonate of soda will be found a remedy for this evil. Cut your steaks the day before using, into steaks about two inches -thick, rub over-a small quantity of soda, wash it off next morning, cut fn suitable thickness and cook to notion. The same process will answer for fowls, legs of -mutton, &e. Try it, all who love delicious tender dishes of meat. : » ° Seil Improvements. J

The time has come when our farmers must use more fertilizing material tb keep up the productive quality of their lands. 1 find that in:many sections of the country this fact is becoming so apparent, and éspecially is this true of the New England - States, that efforts for the improvement of the soil are iy many cases being practiced. For this purpose barn-yard manure is_the mostléenerally used.— The accumulations of the stables and vaults of the numerous cities and manufacturing tp,wns are ‘the principal supply and ‘even freighted for many miles by riger and rail. On many farms it is saved with the utmost care. Among the best farmers of that region barns have been constructed with -especial reference to the saving of both the solid and liquid excrement of farm animals. These .are composed with muck, saw-dust. or any other material that will absorb ammonia.— The droppings of the hog pen and hen roost are carefully gathered and added to the barn yard heap. Night sails are also wsed near large cities, and near the coast, lobster refuse, fish manures, sea grass, salt ‘marsh hay and other vegetable debris-are used.— Green soiling, and in fact almost every conceivable means are adopted by which manures and other fertilizers may be gathered and the 'land improved. - c _

~ Cannot the farmers of Laporte county learn a profitable lesson from these ? " We often laugh at the Eastern country; jeer at their thin, rocky soil, taunt the people on the uneven surface and say that there land being set up edge-wise, both sides can be ploughed. That the grazier is sometimes obliged to take his sheep by the hind legs and hold it over a precipice where it may get a mouthful of fresh grass —and so with thé next until his herd is all fed, &e., &ec:; but did it never occur to us that in all of these unfavorable localities the yield of grain is nearly or quite as great as ours; and as for stock, that they invariably raise superior breeds, and even individual specimens? - o Now all this is brought about by the custom of keeping their land in the most perfect state of productiveness possible. Hence when they sow or plant they always reap good crops. Their pasturage is always the very Jbest dnd consequently their stock is dlways in good ‘order, in fine growing condition and eagerly sought after and .sold at fine paying prices. The fact is, we have the best country and the finest lands that ever laid out of doors, and’we usually, have fair crops in spite of our farmers. But it will not alivays be’ ~:.3’0. The land will altimately, -véa evén now begins to show signs of deteripration and must eventualiysbe ‘improved or it will bewome the barren or worrr-out desert.— Donot think I overdraivit.. You must manure. your lands, must- maintain theif productive qualities, and the sooner you begin to realize the fact the sooner-will you begin to profit by it—E. G, McCollum, in LaPorte Argus.

Have You Provided a Winter Cow,? Who is not fond of milk in sonye .shape? We think it would be difticult to find the individual; and yet as a rule, milk is harder to gét in the country than in the’ city; if a person be so’ unfortunate as to htave no cow., olnstead of having the milk:delivered as in the city, it must be bought by the individual requiring it, who is often then obliged to pay higher prices than in the city, even. if then the delivery of the milk may not be considered a faVOr. : | : The rdason is that farmers, who of all men shpuld have a bountiful supply, often find themselves in the winter restricted to a few strippings ob- ‘ tained 'from the. summer cows -that are roughing it in the yards entirely on dry food. L - . The horses are kept in comfortable stables and carefully fed, bedded, eurried and brushed. The fattening cattle, sheep and hogs are as carefully cared for, but the cow, which is expected to furnish an important nourishment and the basis of many delicacies to the family is too often left to shift as best she may. Itis no wonder that she doles out grudgingly small amllk decreasing quantities of very blue mik . v

There is no animal képt in winter -on the farm that should receive, nor that will pay better for extra care, than too-often-abused cow. She is a machine that responds to the demands upon it in exact proportion to its perfectness of construction and the care bestowed upon its working parts. If warmly housed and fed liberally with plenty of rich food, including, if possible, succulent vegetables; if this: be done there is no difficulty in always having an abundance of rich milk in winter. If roots cannot be obtained, bran may be provided, to be given in the form of a thin slop, so that the animal can drink it; for the abundance of water taken by the cow adds largely, not only to the quantity of the milk, but also to the quality, since it enables the animal to assimilate the products of the food more fully than it otherwise could. e

By this we donot mean that the cow supplied with diversified food and plenty of liquids and giving ten or fifteen 'quarts per day of milk will give milk as rich, quart for quart, as the animal fed¥on rich dry food, with only a sufficiency of water to enable it to be passed through the animal. In this last case.the very small quantity obtained will be exceedingly rich; but an animal properly kept, and in full flow of milk, will be found to furnish the elements of milk very much in excess of one poorly cared for, however richly fed.| |, The lack of milk in winter among thie average farmers of the country is one of the crying evils of the homestead. When once the farmer learns how easy it is to have an abundance, and that the daily care {)estowed is not onorous, thereafter but little difficulty will* be experienced by the housewife in inducing the purchase of a new cow when needed, if circumstantes were such that the farm failed to provide one. Generally, if no better plan can be realized, extra care and feeding to a couple of the latter, calv-. ing cows will carry the pousehold along until the new cows begin to come in during the latter part of the winter. At all events, those farmers who have not already provided for an abundance of milk this winter %ould immediately do so. Plenty of milk will save in 80 many wwn%ply to pay the cost and still leave a large margin bevond.— Western Rural.

A New State House. {(From the Indianapolis Journal. ]

We regret to see on the part of some of our State exchanges a disposition to oppose any: steps looking to the erection of a new Statethouse. = This opposition is generally coupled with some economical arguments, but is frequently accompanied also by manifestations of a spirit which any paper or person in Indiana ought to be ashamed to exhibit, namely, a jealousy of the Capital. So far as the argument from economy is concerned, it is entitled to respect, though we do not believe it to be well founded in this case. The State debt is but a trifle, a mere bagatelle compared with its resources, and-with any sort of proper management a new State-house can be built without materially increasing it. It must be borne in-mind that it will take® some years to complete the structure after:it is once begun, and the indebtedness of the State can and ought to be reduced during each year, so .that by the time the building is completed the aggregate debt will be no more than at the be-, ginning. That the State must have a new State-house some time, and that before long, is undeniable. The present one jis not merely dmmgy, dirty, squalid and uncomfortable, but it is dangerous, both by reason of its insecurity and its bad heating and ventilating appliances We doubt if any State in the Union has so poor and dilapidated a capitol as Indiang—certainly no Northern State has—and we cannot see any violation of economy in inaking timely preparations for'a. ‘work which has got to be done before long and which will take some years to accomplish after it is begun. Of course the old trap in which the Legislature now meets can be made to serve for several years longer; but if the preliminary steps for a new building be put off till it becomes absolutely untenantable, the:i there will be several years pending the completion of the new structuré that the State will have to lease a legislative hall, State library, ete., at heaky expense. Thero will be no economy in this. However, if the State of Indiana cannot afford to enter upon the building of a new State-house, and can afford to be behind all her sister States in this regard, there is an end of the matter. e .

+ Asforthe jealousy of this city which is shown in some quarters, and has been so often shown before, it is childish and contemptible. .= Any man-in Indiana who is fit to edit a newspaper or occupy aseat in the Legislature; ought to he above harboring such a mean and unmanly feeling. As the commercial metropolis and political center of the State, and a city whose enterprise and wonderful growth are a themé of comment throughout the Union, all intelligent citizens should heartily coneur in every proper measure which tends to its commercial welfare, its- business prosperity, its ornamentation, or in any way to its attractiveness. Indianapolis is at once the child and the pride-of the whole State. Se far from begrudging, she rejoices in the prosperity of every city and town in the State. | Why, then, should they bgpjealous of hers? So far as business 1s concerned, the location of -the public buildings here is of the slightest possible consequence, a mere drop in the bucket. - But the people of Indianapolis feel a pardona: ble pride in the city, and so. long as the State must maintain certain public buildings here, they would like to see them of a character which will reflect some credit on the State and city. Their.interest in the erection of a new State-house is not different nor greater than that of other citizens of the State, and it is little to the credit of any Indianian to enfertain the small and ‘lirrow sentiment above referred to.. 5 T g< E— | A WRONG CUSTOM connf:«rr:ll. M is quite generally the custom t -take, strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver.complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms have been diligently searched to procure the most drastic and poisonous purgatives, in ordér to produce a powerful efféct upon the liver, and arouse the lagging and enfeablgld organ. This system of treatment is' on the same principle as that of giving a weak and debilitated man large portions of brandy to enable him to do a certain amount of work. = When the stimulant is withheld, thel organ, like the system, gradually relapses into a more: torpid or sluggish and weakened cons dition than before. = What then is wanted?. Medicines, which, while they cause the bile to flow more freely from the liver, as that organ is toned into action, will not overwork and thus debilitate it, but will, when their use is discontinued, leave the liver strengthened and healthy. Such remedies are found in Dr. Pierce’s Golden ]Mtedical Discovery and Purgative Pelets. s E

On Wednesday of last week Daniel Moseart, the well-known watch inventor, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, was taken to the Insane Asylum at Kalamazoo. He has been for o;years at work on a wateh which, without being larger than usual, was to show quar-ter-seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days of the week, days of the month, and months of the year.” Every fifth time the watch was opened it was to wind itself. He had completed it, and had reCeived a large offer from parties in New York for the right to manufacture it. A short time aga he took the model apart to fix. He was unable to put it together again, some part having probably been lost, and the intense mental application upon the difficulty has deranged his mind.— Five years ago he was Superintendent of the Moseart Watch Company, of Ann Arbor, which was bought out by the Rock Island Watch Company, of Rock Island, 111. ° |

' L e GRANGERS ESCHEWING POLITICS At the meeting of the Indiana State Grange, the following pointed and cutting resoiution was adopted by a good majority: | Resolved, That the State Grange in council assembled has no sympathy with any past, present or future attempt that may be made by any political party or political aspirant to absorb a little reflected warmth, decency or support by so persistently calling and publishing their meetings at the same time and place of ours, and that | a decent respect for our order regmires that such attempts be suitably £¢buked by publishing this resolutigf. Buchanan, of the Indianapolig Swui, does not fancy this style of pldin talk. He thinks the resolution w#s smug- | gled through' by interested pattisans of the democratic.and roh,u’nl]ic:m persuasion. 3

[From ghe LaPorte Herald.— Rep.]

Neighbor Wadsworth of the Argus, is highly spoken of by several journals of his party, in connection with the directorship in the Northern Prison. Since it seems a foregone conclusion that the office must be filled by a Democrat, we warmly favor the selection of our fellow townsman; not simply because he is a LaPortean and member of the press, but because we believe him to be entirely competent and thoroughly honest. . [From the Winamac Democrat.]

- Friend Wadsworth, of the LaPorte Argus, is favorably mentioned by a number of our exchanges as a suitablé person for director of the Northern prison. If we are to have a member north of the Wabash, and we ought to have the three, Wadsworth would make a capital officer and reflect eredit upon the State. We certainly would be glad to see him elected. i : 5o

. Tug Ligonier BANNER asks at the hands of the new Legislature a fair apportionment of the State for Congressional and legislative purpouses—no gerrymandering. The BANNER is right in this, if parties all are wrong. We believe no legislative sin is so sure to “come home to roost,” as that .of. gerrymandering in forming districts. The democratic and republican parties in this State have each at times felt severely the force of the reaction.— Steuben Reépublican. o

And so it should be all the time. Gerrymandering is a downright imposition,and the party which indulges in it deserves to be kicked out of power at the very first opportunity. Being in thé majority, we want our party to stand by its professions. e 4 T— e : About Delinguent Taxes. ; - County Treasurers,being greatly puzzled by some of the provisions or the new assessment law, have submitted the following questions to the Attor-ney-General of State: “Should a penalty of ten per cent. be added to the unpaid second install-

ment of taxes after November: 15, when the first half was paid on or prior to the third Monday in April; and if the penalty is.' added, can the real estate be advertised and sold when there has been no opportunity to make the taxes out of personal property ?” Attorney-General Buskirk answers the first question in the affirmative and the second in the negative. '

PAPERS in the central part of the State are intimating that Hon. John B. Stoll, of the Ligonier BANNER; would n’t object, in the least, to fill the cast-off shoes of Hon. D. D. Pratt. We can only add the old saying—“aim high!” —Warsaw Indianian. Just how those papers made such a discovery is what puzzles us. We can assure our contemporary that the castoff shoe business hasn’t bothered us in the least. .

Great tvars and consequent reyolations have occurred, involving Bational changes of peculiar moment .. The civil war of our own country, which was at - its height when the last volume ‘of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new eourse of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. ; ’ G : . Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have been made by the indefatigable explorers of Africa. i R The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural resalt of thellapse of time, have brought inte public’view, & multitade ofnew men, whose names are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the. particutars. Great battle s have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details | are as yet prexerved ouly in the newspapers or in ke transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and #thentic history. 3 : In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly'been the aim of the editors to - bring down the information:to the latest. possible dates, and to furnish an accurate sccount of the. | most redent-discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest invenI tionsin the practicual arts, s well as to give a snecincét and original record of the progress of politi- - | cal and historical events. @ | The work has been begun after long and care. | ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termis - nation. > .

None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but.every page has been printed on new - type, forming in fact a new Cyclopwmdia with the- - plan and compass a& its predecessor, but with a far greater: pecuniary expenditure, and with :uch improvements in its composition -as kave been suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the eake of pietorial effect, but to give - greater lucidity and force to the explanations 'in the text.
