~ —Tha best way to affix labeds on plants or trees, is said to he to write the words with a lead pencil pn zinc. The writing proves more distinct with age, and cannot be effaced.

—The best tinio to plant the seed of the sugar naapU is after it has ripened in the fall. It will do well, however, when sown properly in a well prepared seed bed in spring, if the seed has been kept in a suitable place until then.

-—Potatoes should always be kept in the dark. Rural housekeepers do not need to be told this, but many live in towns and cities should know that potatoes exposed to the light, for a day only have their flavor injured, and the longer exposed the worse they are. Never use a greenish potato.

—Clover plowed in has three effects. It gives vegetable mold. The roots bring to the soil plant food, out of the sub soil, and the acid produced when decay is going on aids in dissolving the mineral parts of the soil. In granite lands this last is of as much importance a§ cither of the others.

—Food of Work Horses.— A horse that is in the harness every day needs an abundance of food, and the right kind. Oats make more muscle than corn, and should alway s form part of the food of a hard working horse. Corn gives plumpness and imparts warmth. The colder the weather the more corn; the harder the work, the more oats.—/i’c.-

Parsnip Fritters.—Boil six parsnips tender; skin and mash them. Mix them with two eggs well beaten, and two teaspoonfuls of flour. Make up in small cakes, and fry in lard or beef gravy, which should be ladling' hot before the cakes arc put in. The proper amount of salt should also be added for seasoning.

Dried Apple Cake.—Let three cups of dried apples be soaked for twelve hours. Then chop them and let them simmer for fifteen minutes in two ciips of molasses. The whole should then be set aside’to become cool. Then add one-third of a cup of butter, two eggs, half a cup of sugar, five cups of flour, half a cup of milk, two teaspoonfuls of soda, and any kind of spice that may be pre ferred.

-—The Canada Farmer says: *the blanket should not be used upon a horse at all in winter unless it be used faithfully. The trouble arises in this way. When a team has been driven ikfew miles to market, «r the same distance for pleasure, f blankets or robes are put on, *bnt when drawing logs to the saw-mill, or doing any other heavy work, -they are made to *|uwd large loads a mile or two aftd return at a brisk trot and . stand uncovered until another .Ln/yl is put on. In this way Sin horses are suddenly cooled fey

How to Make Good Bread.

’ Prof. Hosford recently gave a public lecture in New York upon “The Philosophy of the Oven,” in which, the whole history of bread-making was discussed. We extract fto®» the report of the lecture the following directions for making bread: “Select good, plump,fully ripen ed hard-grained wheat. I lave it freshly ground and not too finely bolted. Prepare the yeast as follows: Boil thorough!ly with the skins on, in one quart of wrfter, enough potatoes to make a quart of mashed potatoes. Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them to fineness: mix intimately with them one pint of flour, and stir the whole to an emulsion with the water in which the potatoes were boiled, ’.. Cool the product to about 80 deg. (lukewarmness), and add a half a pint of the best fresh baker’s yeast, and a table spoonful of brown sugar. Set aside the mixture at an even temperature of about 80 deg. till it works well, or is in active fermentation. Of this yeast take half a pint to a gallon (7 lb.) of flour, mixed with three pints of water, or two of water and one of milk, all at the temperature of about 80 deg.; add a little’ salt, knead thoroughly, and set aside to rise at the temperature men-

tioned. When it has risen to nearly the full volume for the dough, divide it into loaves, .knead again, set it aside at the temperature already named until it attains the full size of the loaf, and place it in an oven heated to not less than 450 deg. Bet the loaves of dough be smaller than the tins. Keep them covered with flat tin plates or stiff paper until the dough is fully raised and the heat carried up to, and sometimes mantamed throughout the loaf at 212 deg. to convert all the starch to the mucilaginous or I emulsion form and destroy the ferment. Then remove the cover, and permit the browning to take place. If the loaves are large, a higher temperature will be required. Seven pounds of flour will make eight loaves of 1| lb. each when baked, or four of 2A lbs. each. Such yeast as is above described, will keep a week in winter and from two to four days in summer. Bread made with it, in faithful obedience to these instructions, will be good.-—American Agriculturist.

How to Make a Cold-Chis-el. —Farmers and gardeners frequently need a good coldchiselfor light work-, such as cutting off rivets, nails, or pieces of hoop-iron. . A piece of bar steel, and the forging it into proper shape,Will cost from fifty cents to one dollar. Those persons-who want to use a cold-chisel only once a week or so, do not always have the money to spare for a tool that they have but little use for. Therefore, to get a cheap chisel, that will subserve all the pur- { loses required, make use of a arge, flat file that has been worn out. Break off one end, so that a piece will be left about eight inches long; heat it in a charcoal- fire near to redness, and let it cool gradually. Then steel will be soft. Now grind one end square and true for the head-end, and form the cutting edge by grinding at the other end. Thrust the cutting end in a charcoal-fire, until one inch in length is redhot. Now cool half an inch of the edge in cold water, which will fender the edge quite too hard. Watch the color of the steel as the different shades appear near and at the cutting edge, and as soon as you see a light straw color on the surface, plunge the chisel into cold water. By this means you will get a cold-chisel sufficiently hard, oc the edge to cut iron, and so soft and tough in the part above the edge that it will bend rather than break. — Hearthand Home.

The Daily Jovumai. receives items of news from nil parts of the tiorld that are worth having, and the name is published in tho Weekly in a condensed form . It can not be necessary, at this day, to particularize the merits upon which the Jocbnal rents its claims to a continuance and extension of the abundant patronage it has so long enjoyed. The patronage is itself the best evidence of its merits. A. newspaper must be worth to a reader what be pays for it, or he will not have it. It is in no respect different from any other article. It supplies a want, and is-worth .more or less as it supplies the want more or lees completely. If it is good, it needs'litlle other solicitation of patronage than do good groceries or diy goods. The Journal has kept steadily in view the purpose of making itself indispensable to its readers, by furnishing them tho news in the most convenient foim, and of the most authentic character. and of the greatest variety. It hasmaintained a staff of
