Tae Farm and Household.

How TO ApPLY MANURE.—In set-

- simg trees, shrubs and vines, no ma- . mare should be plaved in contact with . {»e Toots, but put it above them when ~ the holes are nearly filled, so that it =ll be covered several inches. Well retted stable manure is suitable for | awerything, cow manure being best. | As winter approaches, coarse manure, " wmixed with considerable straw, spread ‘over the ground rather thickly around the stems or trunks, as far as the | reots exténd, will be useful in pred . ‘wemling injury from severe frost, and. - @ will also enrich the ground, and the trees, elc., will be much benefited. - Im the spring it may remain as a mulch, or the coarse parts may be ré-

SavE Maxvre—lfany farmer was to waste His corn, hay, fodder land meal be would be called very \wasteful. . Bat if farmers would ,_takél a closer wew of their farms, an exchange re'marks, they would soon be cqnvinced thai they are not only wasting these but many other things ;ifor they save mp manure and consequently their meal-bin is empty, their hay-mow and stacks are small, and their'stock is poor. All these proceed from not saving their manures. They continue to fead their hogs in the lane, Their lsirnyards are knee-deep with manure, ~mot having been cleaned out for some . vears. _ Every straw pile is burnt; every cornstalk is raked and burnt—wet they compiain of their lands wearing out so fast. But, we are pleased to whserve, the men who are thus sloth- ¢ ¥ul in their atfention to the rudiments »f farming are annually becoming jess mumerons. They do not merit thesligmified title of farx;ler,but should be. Lknown as the sluggard.of the farm.. Wixten-Lavine Hexs.—ln order to keep hens laying through winter + iher must be furnished with a warm bouse and a warm diet. Many flocks - of hens/consume, during the winter, nést 0i;,“3 the profits of the summer, <as ihey eat and make no return in #zes. | They are not to blame for this. 1f we wish our hens to lay in winter, Sa¥s an exchange, they must have ni{irogenous’food, such as eggs are made ef. They pick this up in the summer i 1 the form of worms and insects, but in winter grasshoppers and angle- . worms &0 not abound, and the hens must, have pork or beef scraps, liver, -or some cheap meat diet, as the raw material from which to manufacture =zzs. If to this be added some warm mush and potatoes, and a few fresh cabbage leaves cut up fine, the hens ~will lay with gratitude, and cackle - with thanksgiving. Some fine bone ~ meal added to corn meal will make a - - maush that will tickle the palates of -'"the hens, redden their combs and /' make them sing for joy.

-~ WHuY FARMERS KEEP POOR.—A recent writer says: After long observation I have come to the conclusion t2at & great majority of the farmers that are poor might have money.. If vou inguire into their business habits, vou will find that they always sold the best and kept the poorest. For instance if they -have too many sheep on hand, they pick out the best to be sold. 1f you ask them why they do so, they will say: “Because they bring twice as much as thie others,and lam hard up justnow for money. I Enow that it is not a‘géod plan, and I <o not intend to follow it always.” I think the habit of selling the best isa peor plan for any man, I don’t care what his circumstances may be.” I ‘have 3 man in my mind now who aE wars sells his poorest sheep for more than twice as much as the average farmer getsifor his'best. I'have seen farmers in the fall pick out their best pigs to fatten, because they would make a few more pounds of pork than ibe others. This I call Very poor econLAY, : . o e

SALT-RISING' BREAD. — There are many wars of setting salt-rising, but a lady in the Chicago T7ibune says

lisat if her plan is followed implicitly she will guarantee “beautiful saltr’";siné bread.” And here is her recipe: “I"ut a pint of boiling water in a pitcher. with a teaspoonful of sugar, onefourth teaspoonful salf, and the same of seda; lét it stand till you can bear vour finger in it; then add flour to make a thick batter; beat it hard for two minutes. Now place the pitcher iz a kett® of hot water—not hot enough to scald the mixture; keep the water at the same temperature till the emﬁmgs are light. If set early in the morning they will be ready, if watched carefully, at eleven o’clock to make a sponge, the same as for other bread, 'with a quart of very warm milk. Let this sponge get very Eght; then make into loaves and set o rise again, taking care they do not zet too light this time before putting in the bven, or the bread will be dry, and tasteless. If you d(ﬁ succeed the first time, try until you Mo, for it taakes such delicious bread that I want every one to try it.” :

GooD BUTTER.—There is no reason why evéry farmer’s wife may not make good butter, with good cows well fed. Anold dairyman says: No first--class butter or cheese can be made short of the following general rules: First it is very important to have good pasture with plenty of good running water, in order to get good milk, without which no one need to try to make fine butter or cheese. The next in order is, the milking should be done iu the neatest possible manner. The milk room should be constructed so as to have the proper temperature at all times. The milk should be skim~med at the proper time for butter; the churning also should be done at the proper time: and at the proper . temperature, and never churn too long, And after the'butter comés from the churn, it should be handled jast as little as possible; just sufficient 1o remove the butter-milk, work in ‘the salt, ete. | These rules combine, wowever, but & small portion of the sifiutize of butter making. After the butter is made a great deal depends on the kind of vessels it 1s put in. ©Oak tubs and firkins are best; and purity in e pertaining to its FamuNe—WlLL IT . Az;; A cor-

contrasts the cliances of the tarmer with those of the merchant, showing that while he could reasonably expect to-make a fortune, fifty per cent. of those who start in mercantile pursuits, with the same capital, would un doubtedly fail. - Let us start the same, continues the writer, for men at 21 years of age without any money—it is his misfortune (but not disgrace) to have to hire as a farm hand—we take it for granted such a mian would make thie best possible farm hand, and would get the highest wages. By striet economy hgffw'oﬂm invest $l5O of his wages each year. (Such “strict economy” would be very hard to practice: in these fast days 'of luxury, fashion, evtravagance and impatience of wealth; but it can be done, and there are hundreds of thousands who would be happier, if they practiced it.) Now,let us see how long before he could buy a farm! In ten years he will have accumulated, at compound interest, $2,387.50, so that when he has seen fifty winters he is an independent farmer, and may be esteemed one of the country’s best citizens. There! is no class of business men which enjoys near so many privileges as the farmer; although he has been so constantly from youth up in the practice of these many privileges that he oftentimes does not -appriciate them. s |-

An established farmer, 'with a.moderate income besides his farm, has more privileges and comforts than one of any other class of business with many times his wealth. He need not labor unless he chooses—he can leave his business for a journeyof a few days many times in the yedr;, he has his horses and carriage toTide when and -where he wishes; his surroundings afford him all’ the comforts of life; his table is loaded with the best the, country affords; he can receive and entertain his friends at almost all times; he has a good-library of profitable books and pl enty leisure timeéto read them. o » ! Now, let us ask, is there any other business man, who has to labor at or conduct his profession, who has a ‘tithe of the privileges of the farmer? r’he lawyer must be at his office to tsee to his cases and relieve the minds of distressed clients, who at any time ‘may step in. The doctor is sorry .to leave his friends, who get te see him so seldom, but he has some patients several miles away who greatly need ‘his skiH, and he never has an hour, 'night. or day, he can call his own. The merchant hurries through his meals to get to the. store, where he has only time to occasionally smile on his friends, and utter a few words of kindness; and, if a townsman, per--haps not out of the city for'years. These same comparisongs pretty much ‘hold good'with nearly all vocations. ‘Then, boys,stick to the farm. =~

~ OUR KANSAS LETTER. Written for The Nhtiopa] Ban’n(_afr. I GREAT BEND, Kan,, Jan. 18,77, Mg. EplTOß:—'Tis a month or more since we last made our bow to your many readers, -and- still we feel at a loss what to say that will be of sufficient interest to _inerib a place in your columns, not having even a “colicky baby” about which to write. Neither have we ever had ‘the good fortune of starting “out on an eleven: mile driye,” &e. Hog cholera-and scarlet fever are also at a discount here, and consequently ~we are in want, sadly in want of - something, something about which to write.— We might say a few. words about Eliza Pinkston’s prospective President, but “we forbear for the present. Winter has most assuredly and perceptibly oyertaken us, and the weatheris cold, eolder, coldest. On Saturday, Dec. 23, our first, “segular-built old northeaster was usheredzint}o our presence. Thesnow fell to the depth of 5 or 6 inches, and lay on the ground for- twelve or fourteen days. Since that time we have been regaled ‘on several ' occasions; but the actual snowfall has been but little. v

[Our correspondent here gives a table shoewing the range of-temperature for each day of the present month, to the date of writing, but which we omit, as it would be of little interest to most of our readers.—ED.]

During this time we have had| a couple of old bull-dozers .of snowstorms,that of Monday,the 15th,beinga clear case of “intimidation.” Nobody camé to school—not ‘even the teacher —but remained housed up at home all day. "In the morning the mercury stood at 8° and kept steadily sinking till .at nightfall it stood at 0. The wind—well, it raged and tore, and writhed and surged against the frail sides of our little shell of a house, but 'did not succeed in unroofing or upsetting us. If any of your réaders want to know just how it does it out here, they should come and see or feel for themselves, as it is easier felt than described. But Wwe are neither daunted nor discouraged, as -the mnever-failing “oldest inhabitant” has come nobly to the rescue, and has assured us that so cold a winter never before was known here. : 3

Scareity of Money.

There is nodoubt but the present condition of all kinds of business and industry is fearfully depressed, and it behooves every family to look carefully to their expenses. Winter is coming on when-children are liable to Croup, Whooping Cough, ete. Coughs and Colds will -prevail everywhere, and’ Consumption, with other throat and lung diseases, will carry off many. These digeases should not be neglected. Doctor’s -bills are expensive, and we would advise our people to use BosCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP. It never has failed. One bottle, at 75 cents, will keep your whole family well during the winter. Two doses will relieve any case.

SECRETARY MORRILL told the Wall street bankers that the election oE Tilden would ruin the nation’s credi with European capitalists. Tilden was elected, and American securitiesv{o.dvanced in every foreign market.
