In-Breeding and Inter-Breeding-Trutt
for Rurallsts -Veal Olives Or

Boil one-half dozen potatoes until well
done, then mash, with a tablespoonful
of butter, little salt, pepper, and three
tahleppoonfula of milk.
More butter is injured by keeping the
cream too long before churning than in
any other manner. The churning shoulij
\>e performed as soon as the cream is
ripe, even if there is only a small quau
titv to churn.
Orchard grass will thrive well on damp
locations. It is an excellent grass, but
"stools," which gives it an uneven ap
pearance in the fields As it becomes
more compact each season it soon forms
an even pasture.
The Emerald < Jem cantaloup is one of
the most delicious varieties that has been
grown this season. It is of medium size,
but cracks sometimes when ripe. The
rind is dark, and it does not present an
attractive appearance, though deeply
ribbed and netted. But with these dis
advantages against it there is no variety
that equals it in flavor, while the quality
of flesh is superior to any other.
Veal Cutlets with Tomato Puree.—Cut
from a piece of leg of veal some slices
three-eighths of an inch thick, and trim
them |>«ar shape to the size of cutle»s;
sprinkle them l>oth sides with pepper
and salt, and lay them in a well buttered
flat pan; put a battered sheet on the top
of them, and put the tin in the oven just
| long enough to thoroughly cook the cut-
I lets. Dispose them on a dish in a circle
round a puree of tomatoes and serve.
Spinach.—Look it over carefully and
Wish thoroughly, holding the stem side
up as you shake it about in the water
Put it in a saucepan without any water
except the moisture on its leaves. Cover
closeiy and cook for half an hour. Put it
in the colander to p esa out all the water;
return it to the saucepan to heat again,
i^eason with butter, red pei per and salt,
and serve with either sliced, hard boiled
eggs or sliced lemon. Instead of butter,
three tablespoonfuls of rich cream may
be heated with it.
Truth for Buralists.- -Here is a bit of
gospel truth which is worthy the con
sideration of farmers who are tempted to
extravagance, either by pride or the dis
play of their nei^htiors. A farmer can
live happier in his old house, out of debt,
than he can in a new, fine one with a
mortgage on it. A family can worship
more devoutly going to church in a farm
wagon, when they are. not afraid of any
creditor meeting them than to go in a
fine carriage with a chattel mortgage on
the horses, subject to l>e foreclosed at
any time.
Complite protection of choice plants
exposed to the attacks ol cutworms may
be secured, according to Mr. A. \\.
Cheever, ot thtt New Kngland Farmer, by
surrounding the stems wiHi strips ol
folded newspaper. Last y.-ar, he says,
while avvav from home, a dozen tomato
plants set in the usual way in his garden
were nearly all destroyed in two or three
da>B. This year, of more than two
dozen, set with a fence of folded news
papers around each, not one has been
touched, although cut-worms are abun
dant in the garden.
Veal Olives—Cut two pounds of veal
into strips three inches long and two
inches wide. Make a dressing of one
cup of stale bread crumbs, one table
spoonful oi melted butter, seasoned with
salt, pepper and sweet herbs Mix and
spread on the strips ol veal; roll them up
and tie tighily; roll in Hour and brown
in boiling fat." Then pur. in a saucepan,
pour over a pint of soup Stock, thicken
with a little Hour and let simmer two
hours. Take up, remove the string, put
the olives in h dish, strain the sauce,
flavor with mushroom catsup, add |>onr
over.
Farmera who object to paying large
sums for choice animals should estimate
the increased value due to improvement,
fora single season, of the young stock.
Such a calculation will show that, if the
flock or herd is large, the gain of the
stock will Ih' greater than the cost of a
male or any oi the thoroughbred breeds
It is consequently economical to improve,
and the farmer who does not do so is
reaily extiavagant, as he deprives him
self of the advantages of better stock,
higher prices, ami larger profits, without
any increase in the expenses of food and
labor.
German Honey Cakes.—The delicious
honey cakes are" not often seen now-a
days, and few of the younger generation
know of this good variety of cakes. Six
ounces of honey and two generous table
spoonfuls of butter are to be gently
warmed together. Mix lightly with six
ounces of sifted flour, half a teaspoonful
of grated nutmeg, with the s line quantity
each of grated lemon p>el and carbonate
of soda. Mix with the honey and butter,
and let it stand over night. Roll out
thinly, cot into 6hapes and bake in a
gentle, oven. All cakes that have either
molasses or honey in them should bake
with a slow heat." The acid in the honey
is sufficient to combine with the soda,
and no cream of tartar is necessary. It
is the came way with m«lassea iv com
bination with soda.
Inn-Breeding and Inter-Breeding.—
These terms have often been used by
writers on breeding domestic animals, as
synonymous; but they are really of unite
a different signification. In-breeding
means the mating of animals which are
more or lees closely related ; while int r
breeding is the mating of cross-bred
animals, that have no relationship with
each other. For example, suppose a
Shorthorn and Hereford are bred to
gether, the offspring possesses half the
blood of each. Next, suppose the same
of a Sussex and a Devon, then the ofl
sprin" of these two crosses bred together.
This would be inter-breeding, thPir par
ents having no consanguinity of Diood
between them. It is a safe course to
pursue; and for the attainment of special
ends may at times prove quite an advan
tage to the cattle breeder. In-breeding,
or breeding in-and-in, as it is more gene
rally termed, is dangerous unless to a
person of great experience, and who is a
perfect judge of the perfections of ani
mals; then it may 1* advantageous It
is frequently followed by the unskillful
with a loss of size, thrift, and constitu
tion ; and, finally, by barrenness. Fatal
diseases are also to be dreaded; for sup-
I pose one parent is touched with a dis
ease; in consequence then of its con
sanguinity to the other, this wil! be likely
to be inte'nflified in the offspring; and if
both parents have the same disease, it
will probably be doubled or quadrupled
in virulence.

This generous girl, who was only

poor men by a rope. She was so for

easily, but in tying the third to the

! MIGRATION OF ANTS.
Remarkable Clrcumntsac** with Whlck
Hir hxpt-dlrlona Are Attendod.
The ant cities, as they ought to b*
called, of Brazil, are of such amazing
size that they have more the character
of structures reared by human hands
than that of monuments of insect
industry ;md skill. They are con
ical mounds of cl ij', which their tiny
architects roar to the height of ten or
twelve feet; thair circumference ia
nine or ten feet. A hard, yellow clay
forms the external cont; the inside is
divided by a number of horizontal
floors or stories of a hard, black earth,
in thin plates, which some times shine
like Japan-ware.
These habitation! are peopled by
myriads of ants of a large size, and &
| brown eoler. They have the power
of exuding from their bodies a viscid
fluid, by which they moisten the clay
to tin- consistency fit for making
floors. Some species form covered
ways in this manner, and tunnels or
avenues of this description have beeu
foiind •tretcfaiajl for a considerable
distance from one settlement to an
other, and through these the ants ara
enabled to make pretty long journeys
unseen.
They sometimes migrate, and their
expeditions are attended with truly
remarkable circumstances. In fact,
they resemble on a small scale, the in
roads of Attillt and his million of
mounted barbarians into the fruitful
and glowing plains of Italy—leaving a
parched desert in their wake- When
those insect Huns sot out in such en
terprises, they proceed right forward
in a straight line, just as the lsden
bee flies to its hive, and they devour
everything in their way which is eata
ble, like a cloud of locusts "warping
on the wind."
It once happened, during one of
these ant expeditions which was under
taken near the city of Rio de Janeiro,
that a garden obstructed their line
of march —a deep ditch of water in par
ticular seemed an unsurmountable ob
stacle; however, a stick happened ac
cidentally to be lying across it; this the
ants used as a bridge, and over it they
poured by myriads, so that in a few
hours the garden was swarming full
of them, afld every thing of a vegetable
kind disappeared. From this they pro
ceeded on till they came to the house of
the Swedish Consul, through which
they actually made their way. The
gentleman who inhabited it was sud
denly awakened during the nisrht by a
horrid sensation, and starting from his
couch. I c found himself covered with
these insects, whose crawlin? and
b'ting had awakened him. The house
•/as full of them; there was neither re
cess nor apnrtmen nor closet exempt
from heir presence. Impeled by their
instinctive tend -ncv to advance, they
pursued their onward course until the
whole body passed through, and next
morning not a single one of them was
to be seen.
Strange to say. the ants devoured
e^ery o her insect in their progress, so
that the singular visitation was not
without its oae. Spiders cockroaches
and every thing of the kind which in
fested the house became the prey of
these nocturnal visitors, and when
they disappeared it was found that
every othi'r species of Insect had dis
appeared along with them.— N. V.
Ledger.
GETTING UP EARLY.
Advice That Will Plea»e ivrimn Fomi of
Their Morning: Nap.
All this talk about early rising is
moonshine. The habit of turning out
of bed in the middle of the niyht suits
some people; let them enjoy it. But it
is only folly to lay down a general rule
upon the subject.
Some men ar.' fit for nothing all day
after they have risen early every morn
ing. Their energies are deadened,
their imaginations are heavy, their
spirits are depressed. 1
It is said you can work so well in the
morning. Some people can, but ethers
can work best at night; others, again,
in the afternoon. Long trial and ex
periment form the ouly conclusive tests
upon these pointa.
As for getting up early because Prof.
All-Gammon has written letters to the
papers proving the necessity of it, let
uo one be goose enough to do it
We all know the model man aged
eighty: "I invariably arise at five; I
work three hours, take a light break
fast—namely, a cracker and a pinch of
salt; work five hours more; never
smoke, never drink any thing but
barely water, eat no dinner, and go to
bed at six in the evening."
If any body finds that donkeyfied
sort of life suits him, by all means let
him continue it. But few people
would care to live to eighty on these
terms. If a man can not get all with
ered and crumpled up on easier condi
tions than those, it is almost as well
that he should depart before he is a
nuisance to himself and a bore to
every body else.
School-boys, and young people gen
erally, ought to get up early, for it is
found that nine-tenths of then can
stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with
the thought that he could have been
twice as good a man as be is if he had
risen every morning at daylight. The
habit would kill baif of us in leas than
five years.—Medical Classics.
The German Emperor lately vis
ited the barracks of a dragoon regi
ment, and while the men were in read
iness the commanding officer was half
an hour late He expected immediate
disgrace, and when evening came he
opened with a trembling hand a email
parcel from HU Majesty. Itcontaiqad
