Improvement of Varieties. Every product of the farm, however perfect in its present condition, says the Christian Union, is capable of further development. The law of progress, so clearly traced in the animal kingdom, operates equally in the domain of vegetable life. The progressive development, for example, of barley or wheat from any given stock, however inferior, until it culminates in a type of higher value, is quite as simple, aud, if the rigit course is adopted, quite as certain as the product ion of a shorthorn cow, valued at thousands of dollars, from an original stock that scarcely paid the cost of keeping. It is therefore always possible (by giving due attention to the subject) to increase the value and profit of farming products by improving the quality and that to an extent much greater than we suspect. In the case of fruits and some varieties of vegetables this improvement has already been remarkably demonstrated, and the same enterprise, if applied to other departments of farming, would doubtless be rewarded with equal success. As no plant or grain has yet reached such perfection that it may not be further improved, and as quaHty is always an important element of market price, it is simply amazing that farmers have not given more attention to this subject. Every observing man knows what marvels have been achieved by skill and careful culture in the direction of fruits and garden products, and there is certainly no good reason why similar results may not be reached in field crops, and especially in leading staples like wheat and corn. It is true enough that the latter have been at various times more or les improved, but no results thus far obtained are sufficient to satisfy intelligent men and practical farmers who have the sagacity to perceive that higher possibilities still remain. Iu some of the products of the garden aud orchard the superior qualities developed within the last few years have seemed incredible. No man who compares the later improvements of the strawberry, the tomato, the squash and a score of similar products that might be named with the earlier stock from which they emanated will vent ure to say that the progress of our field crops has at all kept pace with the other departments of husbandry. But this stale of things, it is clear, cannot always last. There are many indications of a new and growing interest in the fcubject. Public attention is waking up aud the future is full of promise. The men are probably now living who will yet win the applause of their country, and of the world, by such improved varieties of wheat, corn and other food staples as to make them not only more remunerative to growers than ever before, but more acceptable in quality, and lower in price to hungry consumers throughout the world. How Can we Keep Cider Sweet ? Cider, er rather apple juice, cannot be kept sweet as it comes from the press unless it is removed to some place so cold that fermentation cannot be carried on. This is only practical after the weather has become cold enough to freeze that portion of the liquid that is next to the inner surface of the barrel. By proper management, cider, which is apple juice that has passed through the alcoholic or first fermentation, may be preserved for a long time without bacoming hard, or passing into the second fermentation. If the people were willing to take as much pains with apple juice as wine makers are with the juice of the grape, good cider would be as common as good wine. But the trouble is, they are not willing to take this amount of pains, owing to the comparative cheapness of cider. The following hints may be of some aid to those who wish to have really good cider : Remember that really good cider can only be made from good, sound, fully ripe, and good-flavored apples. Remember also, that the impurities in the form of pomace are the great cause of cider having a bad flavor, and of its becoming sour. Before the apple juice is put in barrels at all it is best to strain it through flannel, and it would also be well to filter it through sand or charcoal. During the process of fermentation the barrel should be kept full, and for the purpose of keeping a supply to pour in a small quantity should be kept in a separate vessel. After the impurities and the bubbles of gas cease to pass out of the opening the bung should be inserted loosely for a few days, when it should be driven in place. If the cider is intended for bottling it can remain in the barrel in which it was fermented till spring. It is full better, however, to rack it off into another barrel, one that has previously held liquor being preferred. If you have a new barrel, or one that has not contained liquors, wash and scald it out, and then bum sulphur in it. This may be done by melting sulphur in a suitable vessel, drawing strips of cotton cloth through it, setting fire to one end, and letting them down into the bung-hole. If the cider is not to be bottled, it is the best way to draw it off, free from sediment, and put it in small kegs prepared as above. Unless you want a strictly temperance cider, it will be beneficial to add some good brandy or other pure spirits. When you draw from these small kegs for use, close the vent tightly as soon as your vessel is fdled. By taking t his pains a keg of cider will not become

disagreeably hard before it is all ustd up, especially if it is kept in a tolerably cool place. If, however, you draw for use from a large barrel, it will probably become quite sour before it is half drawn. To prevent this it is n-commended to pour in the bun?-hoie a pint or quart of some pure oil, as sweet or linseed oil. This spreads itself over the whole surface of the! quid, prevents the air from coming in contact with it, and t".us prevents the cider from becoming sour. Various substances have been used with tolerably good results for keeping cider sweet, but most of them serve to injure the flavor, to some extent at least. One

of the best materials is mustard. To prepare it, the seeds should be bruised and put in a little bag of coarse cloth, aud this let through t lie bung-hole. Tho bag is useful to prevent the grains of mustard from passing out when the cider is drawn. Ground mustard does not answer the puropse. About one pound hould be used for a barrel of cider. Some use grated horseradish for the same purpose, but it is objectionable as liable to impart a disagreeable flavor. A better material is the sulphite or bisulphite of lime, which can be procured at any large drug store. This should be added at the rate of one ounce to four gallons of cider. It is best to first dissolve it iu a quart or two of cider, and then pour it iu. iiousetioUf lleljis German- " Wixb-Bags."

EscAixorED Oysters. -Two quarts solid oysters, one dozen soft crackers, pounded very fine, one cup oyster juice, piece of butter, 0113 cup fine sherry wine, pepper, salt, mace. In a deep dish in which the oysters are to be served place alternate layers of cracker-crumbs and oysters, beginning with the crackers; season each layer of oysters with mace, salt, and pepper. When the dish is full, put a lump of butter on top of the cracker-crumbs, then pour the ovster juice, and then the wine over the crumbs. Bake thirty minutes. Children, be c.ireiul now.

Waring, of Ogden Farm, near Newport, Rhode" Island, will soon begin the rublieaUon in is-rHmer' Monllihi of a series of papers of special interest to those living in the comitrv, in which will be considered the advaiities uttered to farmers frosa a concentration oi their houses and fanu-bn tidings into villages, especially as a relief from the dullness and isolation of remote farm-houses, as affording better education for children, and as making the farmer's life more attractive to the youug. Auotiier paper will treat of the work to be done by " Village Improvement Associations." 5t.iU another paper will give explicit instruction as to the means lor gning a good sanitary condition to the village and to the country house. In the PROSPECTUS OF SCBIDXEU's MONTHLY for IS", other papers are announced that will be of especial interest to farmers. Among these, Mr. Charles Barnard's articles on various industries of Great Britain, including the History of some Experiments in Co-operation, a description of the British Workman's Home, and Clarence Cook's articles on Household and Home Decoration, all profusely and elegantly illustrated; a department called the World's Work ; another entitled Heme and Society, which will treat of domestic life, the care of children, etc. general m'clkllak's travels, begun in the Junu.-iry iS'erilmer, with "A Winter on the Nile," will run on through the year. There will be three serial stories: "NICHOLAS MINTUKN," by that popular author, Br. Holland (the editor), author of "Bitter Sweet," "Kathrina," "Timothy Titcotub's Letters," "Arthur Bonnicastle," and the story of "Sevenoaks." The scene of this latest novel 13 laid on the banks of the Hudson. The hero is a young man who has been always "tie4 to a woman's apron-strings," but who, by the death of his mother, is left alone in the world, to drift on the current of life, with a fortune, but without a purpose. Another serial, "his inheritance," by Miss Trafton, will begin on the completion of " That Lass o' Lowrie's," by Mrs. Hodgson Burnett. Saxe Holm, Tourgueuefl", Boyeseu, and McKay, will contribute short stories. Saxe Holm's new story, FARMER BASSETT'S ROMANCE, will be printed in two or three monthly parts. TourgueneiPs new story will appear simultaneously with the publication in Russia and France, and the magazine will also publish a critical paper on Tourgueneff, by Profi'essor Boyesen, accompanied by a portrait of the famous Russian patriot. The Editorial Department will continue to employ the ablest pens both at home and abroad. There will be letters on literary matters from London by Mr. Welford. The Department of the Bric-a-Brac will be filled with the choicest bits of American humor. ikrihner's Monthly in the only American magazine (besides St. JTicftolaf for the Boys and Girls, by the same publishers) that has found any considerable number of readers abroad. Scribner is issued simultaneously in London and New York. The Weekly Times (English), says: " It puts to shame all our monthlies." 15 MONTHS FOR $ I.

They are mild, gossipy, harmless tea-drinking3, informal and pleasant enough, inciting the young men about town to keep early hours, and giving the comely maidens ample time for refreshment and repose before the serious work of the night's balls and routs sets i n.
