] SCARED. THE hardships and perils of life upon the border were not afl endured by our forefathers. Even now upon the remote frontier there are people living through hours of privation and terror, which we, in our safe and convenient homes, know nothing of. S The aliventure related in this simple sketch occurred: only a few months since, upon the Kansas frontier, during the late troubles with the Cheyenne Indians. . Mr. Hobson, a former resident of Indiana, had met with business reverses, in consequence of which he determined to begin life anew in the far West. He gathered what little household property was left to him, and in a wagon drawn by two horses journeyed to his new home. : He selected land far from a;ng- railroad or settlement, because such land was cheaper, and having built himself a log cabin, he managed in much privation to live through the first year. The Indian troubles began during the second year, and ‘causef the family a good deal ot anxiety. They were not molested, however, and had begun to feel almost easy again. One day Mr. Hobson had gone to his nearest neighbor’s, a distance of -several miles, with his horses and wagon. Mrs. Hobson was in the house boiling hominy, in a kettle in the great gre-place. She needed a bucket of water, and started to get it, when, as she reached the door of the cabin, shg saw a dozen Indians coming directly to the house. ‘They did not see her. Without waiting to fasten the door, she caught her bab{r,, ‘an infant of eight months, from its low box-cradle, and in her fright rushed up a ladder which stood in one corner of the house to a low loft above.

Laying the baby on a pile of quilts, with desperate strength she gulled the ladder up after her, and shut down the trap-door. Then she crouched in a corner by the chimney with her babe’ in her arms. ' The savages entered the lower room, and commenced searching and plunder,inﬁ‘ in great glee. : hey snatched the clean, blue woolen coverlets and blankets from the beds | and wrapped themselves in them, threw the pillows on the floor and sat upon them, and appeared particularly! delighted with 'the feather-bed, which was the pride of Mrs. Hobson’s heart. Through a crack in the floor, which was also the ceiling of the lower room, Mrs. ‘Hobson watched them. Every instant she feared their noisy shouts would wake the baby; but fortunately . the child was undisturbed by the revel going on below. o In a few minutes the savages diseovered the kettle of hominy, and in great glee it was set ‘upon the hearth, dipped out into pans, pots, crocks, gourds, anything they could lay hands on, and devoured. ,E?;’en in her terror Mrs. - Hobson wondered what their throats were made of that they could swallow it so scalding hot. It appeared to sharpen their appetites, for they began to search for more food. Presently one of them found a sack of potatoes under a cupboard. *¢Paddys! paddys!”’ ‘he(?houted, gleeAfully; ¢“lnjun roast paddys; make"big fire, get big roast. BiE heap paddys! _ Mrs. Hobson knew that many of the Indianscalled Irish potatoes ¢ paddys,”’ so, though she could not see the sack, she knew what they had found. They returned to ‘the fireplace, and poured the potatoes down in a heap on the floor. Then they drew the coals and ashes upon one side, and soon had nearly a half-bushel of the potatoes roasting in the ashes. i

They sat down to wait for their expected fedst, and as Mrs. Hobson peeped thrpugh the crack in the floor at them, so ' dirty, ugly and repulsive, a wag of es’cape occurred to her.- What could she 'do ‘ ‘As she glanced despairingly round the low, dark loft, she saw in a corner a little red chest: Now came an answer to her question. ‘“ Henry’s powder is in that chest. If I could only throw some of it downinto the fire and frighten them, or burn them g little!” . M 1 can! I can!” she thought the next instant. “If I can get my hand into the hole in the chimney, I can.” Creeping softly to the cﬁimney, she ut up her hang and felt for the hole. %his chimney was built of mud and sticks, and up in the loft the mud had dried, cracked and broken away in one lace. Mr. Hobson had oftén geéla.red Ee must mend that hole, but he was always 80 busy it was not yet done, and now how %lad Mrs. Hobson was that it was still there. i

She found that the hole was large enough to admit her hand, and then she was sure her l]l)h),n would work, for she knew that these Cheyennes were the veriest cowards, easily scared at what tho{ did not understand. Very slowly and earefully she crept to the chest, opened it with the greatest care, and took out the can of ]fowder. In doing so she saw a small fin

mustard-box, ‘which contained some sulphur. *The very thing!” she thought. I don’t know what they’ll do together, but the sulphur will nearly choke them to death, I'm sure, and Py She poured part of the sulphur from the box; then she é)oured into the box some powder, and shook the contents till they were well mixed. With a si: lent prayer she slipped ' softly back to | the chimney, thrust the little box as far as she could into the hole, and turned it., In a second there was a quick, smothered report. a hissing noise, | and the next instant, yelling, coughing, choking, screaming and tumbling.over one another, the savages were all rushin%&out of doors. o rs. Hobson was almost stifled herself by the horrible smell and smoke which came up through the cracks of the floor, but she dared not venture down until stillness below had convinced her that her visitors were not likely to return. : Then she lifted the trap, pushed down the ladder, and went dowa. What a scene of confusion met her eyes! Bed-clothes, pillows, pans, dishes and household belongings were scattered over the floor, and the explosion had thrown ashes, blackened coals and half-roasted potatoes all over the room! -

‘But the Indians had fled. Mr. Hobson came home half an hour later, and found his wife restoring order among household goods. The superstitious Indians did not venture to return.— Mattie Dyer Britts, in Youth’'s Companon. .

Co-Operation. - - BY co-operation, as the term is now used, is meant an association of persons for establishing and keeping a store, in which its members purchase their supplies, and the profits of which are also divided among them. For many years it has been thought practicable to set up such stores, and thus to enable the poorer classes both to‘obtain their goods cheaper and better than at the ordinary stores, and to have a distinct interest in the business to which they thus contributed. - The first successful attempt to do this was begun at the large manufacturing Town of Rochdale, in England, the home of John Bright, about thirty years ago. A poor weaver, who found that his and his fellow-workmen’s bhousehold expenses were too high, as compared with their wages, conceived the idea that they might combine together and run a store for themselves. They would thus, he thought, procure their goods at wholesale prices, and save the profits made by the retail dealers; they would be more sure to get pure articles, since the storekeepers ‘were their own customers, and so were personally interested to procure what was good; and they might reap for themselves whatever profit the sales of the store vielded. ‘

With six other weavers in the factory he set about carrying his plan into execution. They put to%ether the scant savings they were able to make from their wages, borrowed what little additional funds they could, and hiring a little building in the town, at last opened a store. - TJN ot long after, this first :successful co-operative store was placed on a very effective basis, and from it has grown that extensive co-operative system ‘which has spread over England, and is now finding a foothold in the United States, known as the ‘‘Rochdale plan.” This system is, in brief, as follows : First a number of men get together, and subscribe and pay in a certain amount of eapital, with which to begin operations, and which also serves as a reserve. For the money thus loaned each man receives a moderate annual interest in proportion to the amount he has put in, and receives his proportional number of shares. : - But in the meetings of the co-opera-tion thus formed, each shareholder has one ‘vote, and one only, no matter how many or how few shares he holds. This, it is seen, is entirely different from the practice of all other corporations, for in them a man has as many votes as he has shares, and the more shares he holds the more votes he has, and the greater his influence on the conduct of the concern. : -

The object of the co-operative societies in making all shareholders equal in their voting power is to prevent any one man, or any setof men, from obtaining as they often do in other companies, a controlling authority. Now when the store is started, a schedule of prices is adopted so as to give a slight - profit to the store, and the shareholders make their purchases from it. ‘Every time a shareholder ‘buys anything he is given a check, stating the amount he has expended for goods. He carefully keeps these checks. . At the end of the year, when the accounts are balapce£ whatever protits have been made are divided into two parts. First, the interest on the capital is paid. from them 'to those wll)@o have contributed. Next—and this is the main principle of the co-operative system—what is left of profits after paaying interest on the capital, is divided among those shareholders who have made purchases at the store during the year in . proportion to the amount each has purchased. For instance, if 2 man who has purchased sag one hundred dollars’ worth of goods during the year receives as his share of the profits five dollars, one 'who had bought fifty dollars’ worth ‘would get two dollars and a half; one ‘who had bought twenty-five dollg.rs’_ worth would get ome dollar and a quarter; thatis, each gets his share of profits according to the sum he has spent at the store. It will be seen that by this system, which has succeeded to some extent in England in lmin%e put into practical operation, & member of a co-ppﬁx;atnve society has many advantages. He gets his household Eoods as cheaply a 8 he can anywhere; he is pretty sure to get good articles; he gets interest. on the money he has put into the capital; and he shares the profits of the cuncern according to the value of the goods he has }:urchased during the year.— Youth's Companion. ; —An alien from the affections of his wife thinks this estrange world.

This sauce is to be eaten with roast lamb. PoraTo PiE.—Boil well, and drain four large potatoes. Add a large lump of butter, beaten until quite light. Three large spoonsful of sugar, one pint of new milk, and three eggs. Cinnamon and nutmegs to taste. Make a tender and light bottom crust. Stout calico is made water-proof by the Chinese, with a preparation which proves efficient in any climate, and is supposed to be composed |of the following ingredients: Boiled oil, one quart; soft soap, one ounce, and beeswax, one ounce, the whole to be boiled until reduced to three-quarters of its quantity when mixed. The calico treated with this mixture answers well for life-saving apparatus. . : CHICKEN CHOLERA rarely aJ)pears among a flock that is provided with clean runs affording some shade in excessively warm weather and plenty of fresh, cool water and green food daily. A regular supply of fresh green food is a preventive of diarrhecea in fowls. It is also essential that the.place where chickens roost should be dry and clean and sprinkled with wood or coal ashes occasionally.—lTowa Register. -

About . Ducks. , - I HAVEN'T much faith in the maternal instincts of ducks. They have a way of taking to the water with their oftspring that is not at all to my liking; and for that reason I generally set my duck eggs under hens, who do not seem at all anxious to go in swimming with their web-footed charges. I never believe in giving a hen all the eggs she can possibly cover. Duck eggs are very large, and five of them are enough to give a small hen;a Brahma or Cochin will cover seven or eight. Duck eggs, like turkey ?ng, should be either set on the ground, or on several inches of fresh earth in a nest-box; and should be sprinkled often with tepid water during the last two weeks of incubation. As soon as the ducklings are all hatched remove the hen to a coop previously pregared for her. If-the coop was used.last season, it should be thoroughlycleaned with an old broom and hot soap suds, and then whitewashed inside and out several days before it is wanted. When there is a running stream or gon.d, on the premises, the coo(P must e placed at a respectful distance from the water, for ducklings are liable to cramps, and must be kept away from cold water until settled warm weather comes.” Novices in duck-rais-ing should also remember that turtles, minks, muskrats, stray cats and rats are remarkably tond of young ducks, and take suitable precautions to EuMd against their depredations. Ducklings should be fed cooked food until they are six weeks old. For the first two or three days after they are hatched, they should be fed on boiled eggs and stale bread soaked in milk; afterward almest any kind of cooked food will do. Da not feed too soon after they are hatched, twelve hours is soon enough, and do not feed too much. Young dpcks are not over-burdened wit senge, and if permitted, will eat until they kill themselves. Many promising broods of ducklin%.; have been ' killed by over-feeding. If hatched before the young grass and insects make their appearance, ducklings will require an addition to their bill of fare in the shape of green food, and an occasional feed of boiled meat. For this reason I don’t think it paﬁs to hatch ducks very early. If hatched in May and the fore part of June, they will attain a good size for winter market. Give plenty of water to drink, and after they are two weeks old give water that has the ¢‘chill” taken off, to bathe in.— Fanny Field, in Prairie Farmer. ~

Trimming of Fruit-Trees. To crAmm that fruit-trees ought not to be trained by trimming, says a correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph, is to show the claimant not possessed of anlY glenuine acNguaintance with them. To claim that Nature will grow a fruit-tree in perfection, without any attention to its formation on the part of the cultivator,. is to clearly show that the persons doing it have utterly failed of making even passable use of their eyes. In faet, it would be going but a step :farther in the same direction to claim .that Nature will grow all the productions of the soil in perfection without attention or culture, and that man having to ‘*eat his bread by the sweat of his brow’’ js a cheat and delusion. Nature produces growth without any regard to the future welfare or longevity of the fruit-tree, and it is for the vigilant and practical eye of the culturist to direct this growth (as well as to promote -it), to'give to the tree both its formation and soundness. Shoots are shored out in such relation to each other that in growing into limbs and brzanches they come toﬁther above their connections, and by e pressure of growth kills both the bark thus caught between them and ‘the wood adjo%ning, and furnishes a

receptacle for water to penetrate and locige, and thus the ea.r{;r destruction of the fruit-tree is fixed. Then, the law -of : vegetable growth gives the strongest growth to the highest and strongest branches, and in case of unequal formation of tops these are to be checked, and the grd‘gvth of the weaker branches fostered. Trimming in some form is the only process by which fruit-trees can be trained in their growth and formation, and to claim that they need no training would be tantamount to claiming that the human family do not need training or restraint, or direction given to the young. . : : How much trimming fruit-trees may receive with benefit is a question requiring study and experience. I have known neglected orchards, that for years had produced very lightly of almost worthless fruit, through the process of havin%' about one-half of their tops removed, brought into heavy bearing of fine fruit, and by good culture such bearing kept up for a period of years. : ‘ It is the law of all growth that strong growth and heavy fruit producing do not go together; and also; that whatever weakens the vitality or jeopardizes the life, tends to reproduction or propa;gation. and the fundamental object of fruit-tree growing being fruitproducing, the intelligent cultivator fosters not the growth of wood to a deficiency in ‘production of good fruit. Nor will he materially weaken the vitality of the trees by excessive and injudicious pruning. Frequent heavy pruning operates against the best present results of fruit-producing, as well as against the longevity of the trees.

: - Flax and Its Cultivation, AN inquiry comes to us concerning the cultivation of flax, and we will proceed to give our correspondent the requisite points. The soil best adapted to flax cultureis a good vegetable loam. Both a loose sand and tenacious clay should be avoided. If the soil is too rich the fiber will be too coarse, and the crop will not prove profitable on a hard soil. A soil that. will produce wheat will usually grow flax. A sod that has lain in pasture for a long time, if well plowed and rotted, will be found the best for it. Of manures suited to flax, fresh barnyard manure cannot be counted. Usually barnyard manure ‘is considered good for anything, but flax culture is an exception. If necessary to apply such manure for the fertilization of the land, it should be applied ‘to a previous crop. Limeissometimes used, but if used in large quantities, a long time should intervene before the land is put in flax. Some of the most ‘extensive growers believe that under such circumstances seven years at least should intervene, otherwise, they say the fiber will be injured. ' Ashes, salt and gypsum are good Eanures for flax, the mode of applying the latter being after the plant is developed and while the dew is upen it. Prepare, therefore, freshsod, or corn or root land-which has been thorou%hly cleared. If the flax is wanted for seed, sow from twenty to thirty quarts per acre. If the fiber is ‘the object, sow two bushels per acre. If the soil is very rich sow three bushels per acre. When it is thinly sown. the plant branches, but thickly sown the stem grows without branches and yields a long and fine fiber. The seed should be heavy, of a bright brownish color, and oily to the touch. After sowin%, harrow or brush in and then roll. When three~or four inches high, it should be weeded, children being better for doing this than grown people because they do not injure the plants so greatly by treading onthem. Whether children or adults, however, they should be barefoot while in the flax field. ]

If the fiber is designed for cambrics or the finest linen, it is harvested when flowering. If designed for seed, it should be left standing until the first seed is well ripened. If it should happen to fall before ripening, it must be pulled at once, in whatever state of growth it may happen to be. The mode of preparing it after harvesting and drying is as follows: First remove the seed by drawing it through a comb of finely setteeth. Then rot it by the process known as water-rotting, that is by placing it in vats of soft water. The vats should be under cover, and the water kept at an even teinperature. Vatsare betterinall cases, but ponds of soft water may be used for the purpose. This mode of rotting gives a strong, even, silky fiber, which will bring more in the market than that ‘yielded by the process of dew-rotting, ‘which is done by spreading the flax on a sward, and permitting it to be rotted by the dew. There are various steeps and machines for preparing it, which still more increase the value of the fiber.— Western Rural.
