The Horticultural Fair at Wilmington.
Institute Hall, for the purpose of the
great annual fair of the Wilmington
Horticultural Society, is converted into
a bower of beauty. The wreath of flow
ers and evergreens which so appropri
ately decorate every part seems unac
countable. Every hot-honse and con
servatory in and around the city,must
1» taxed to furnish the supply. With
these appropriately and artistically ar
ranged in every part of the great hall,
Interspersed with the more useful and
appropriate horticultural siiecimens on
exhibition, gives a beauty and attractive
ness which brings together every even
ing a large and interested crowd of vis
i itors. In addition to the exhibition pro
per, elegant tables of refreshments are
spread in various parts of the hall, pre
sided over by queens of beauty and grace,
whiph add to the attractions of the show
as well 1rs to the income of the society,
which latter in this case goes to the
"Home for Friendless Children," per
haps the most deserving cluirity i'i the
city. All Wilmington feels it a duty as
well as a pleasure to aid in this most
* beautiful and excellent exhibition, hence
the crowds which filled the hall for sev
eral consecutive evenings.
The above was written before examin
ing the specimens, as your reporter's in
troductory to what was intendèd to be
an elaborate report in relation to the
fruits and vegetables on exhibition ; but
when he came to look the thing over
eeriatum, it was found to contain but a
meagre display except as to flowers and
evergreens. In truth, it was more of a
fair for the benefit ol the "Home" above
mentioned than an horticultural exhibi
tion. There was quite a lar ge and hand
some display of apples by John Hichard
son, Esq., among which we observed ele
gant specimens of Greenings, Pippins,
ltussets, Baldwins, and other varieties
amounting in all to eighteen. By the
side of these were two small baskets of
Quinces which were unusually fine. The
variety no one seemed to know and they
were not labeled. There were but two
specimens of peaches, Old Mixon and
the Freemason, the latter a new r variety,
exhibited by Rev. R. Todd.
Of Grapes, the specimens of foreign
grown under glass were numerous, and
very fine, but of out-door grapes there
• was no display worthy of any particular
reference.
I iTlie only table, of vegetables was exhib
ited by Henry Du Pont. Upon it were
beets nearly as big as Mr. Greeley's
mammoth will l>e when it gets its growth
in November. They weighed about ten
pounds each, and measured eighteen
inches in circumference. They were of
the ordinary red turnip variety. Among
other articles, all excellent, we noticed
remarkably beautiful specimens of the
Trophy Tomato and numerous egg
plants. Wilmington could get up a
horticultural exhibition worthy of her if
she would only go about it in earnest.
Tjiis show is evidently intended more to
aid a deserving charity than to show
horticultural products.
Next year let there be a Delaware
State Horticultural Fair held at Milford,
and with the proper effort we can get up
such a one as will attract attention to
our fruit and vegetable-growing capabil
ities all over the country.

Make Beef.—D on't sell your cows
this fall, but instead, stall-feed young
steers and turn out for sale next spring
when beef is high and scarce, full fatted
cattle for market. By this plan you will
get more money for your corn and in ad
dition thereto have a nice lot of rich
manure for next Spring's crops. It is
wasteful to feed whole grain and it
should therefore be ground into meal
and then fed. This system of disposing
of the grain crop is a higher grade of
farming than the old way of selling tlie
grain. In tlie best farming regions of
the Middle State! this method is gener
ally adopted, so that it is a rare thing to
see a farmer there hauling bis corn to
market. A farmer, witli a thousand
bushels of corn to sell, can fatten fifteen
thousand pounds of lieef, which at ten
cents per pound is $1500.00. The corn
at sixty cents is worth $600.00, leaving a
difference in favor of the lieef of $900.00
to pay for the original purchase of the
cattle. Tliis it will do and leave over a
profit of $100.00 at least, besides the ma
nure made in Hu. „mww

Recent numbers of the Rural JW«' i
•JV 1 ." 5 '. . ,lu l ,lln,,s ujt j
a few hints and directions upon this sub
. I,, 'J™ IS .°! ,e fundamental ;
Î.'.'.À'? 1 lia *[ "°t been mentioned,
and which, if unattended to will assur
edl> prevent success. It is tins: Do nut
Ut your eggs yet bem md the pom r of these
reeijus before you begin to preserve them.
Tins sounds very much like a truism. It
is a truism, but just in the same way
that all clearly expressed truths are
truisms. There are three conditions
which must lie observed if \vo would
succeed in preserving eggs. 1. The eggs
must be flesh to begin with. 2. They
must l*kept cool. 3. The air must lx?
excluded from the interior. Most reci
pes have the third object set alone in
J'cw- There llI 'e various ways of ef
fecting it, and some of tlie best are de
tailed in tlie Rural for July Oth. To the
recipes there given we may add tlie use
of lime-water. >\ lien eggs are im
merited in lime-water tlie lime fills up
the pores of the shell and makes it im- j
pervious to air. 1 lie same effect is pro
duceil by coating the egg witli soluble
glass and tins material was at once ex
tolled as tlie egg-preserver par excellence,
It is very good, but no better than good
grease of any kind ; and our readers will
do well to remember that all coatings
«'»I varnishes produce the same effect,
that they were all of nearly equal eihcien
cy, and that the wonderful accounts
which we often read of the efficiency of
lime-water, water glass, paraffine, Ac.,
are based upon no exceptional virtues in
these substances.
In addition to the use of these coat
ings the eggs must be kept moderately
cool—in fact as cool as tlie means at our
command will allow, provided we do
not permit them to freeze. The great
preservers of all animal substances are
low temperature, exclusion of air and
dryness. The frozen mammoth of the
Lena was as fresh at the date of its dis
covery, »8 on the day when it perished,
which was unquestionably centuries ago.
Our canned meats keep well even when
exposed to tolerably high temperatures ;
and Uie dried meat used by our hunters
and known as "jerked" meat, never lie
comes offensive until after it has been
exposed to moisture. By coating
egg we virtually "can" the contents,
and if in addition to this, we keep them
cool, it will be no wonder if they keep.
The most common cause of the decay
of eggs lies in the fact that the eggs have
commenced to change before the preserv
ing is begun ; and this evil in general
originates in the fact that the hens sit
on them to such an extent as to sjioil
them. Eggs arc generally laid away
when they are produced-in greatest
abundance, and this is jdst the time
when a few of the bens become broody.
These broody hens visit the nests of the
laying hens and sit on the eggs for hour
after hour. In a short time the process
of hatching has proceeded so far that
when the egg was laid away death ensues
and decomposition immediately begins
to set in. To avoid this see that all
broody hens are prevented from having
any access to the nests; make sure that
the eggs are collected at short intervals
and removed to a eooicellar ;
warm coat them with some preparation
that will effectually close the pores—a
mixture of equal parts of good tallow
and beeswax being one of the most effi
cient—and until you have occasion to
use them keep them at the lowest tem
perature you can command provided this
does not fall below 3U J Fall, lly care
fully following these directions eggs
may be kept in good condition for twelve
months.

Of a Cup of Coffee. —It lias been
truthfully said that even in these en
lightened days, and in the lands most
Messed by the influence of civilization,
there are thousands upon thousands of
persons born into the world who live
long lives and then go down into their
graves without ever having tasted a good
eup of coffee. There are many reasons
for tliis, and the principle one. of course,
must be that so few' persons know bow
to make good coffee. And yet there
have lieen thousands of recipes and di
rections published which teaeii us how
to make good coff ee by boiling it ; by not
boiling it ; by confining the essence and
aroma ; by making it in an open vessel ;
by steeping it ; by not steeping it ; by
clearing it ; by not clearing it ; by grind
ing it fine ; by grinding it coarse, and by
any other methods opposed to eacli
other and to all these. Now we do not
intend to tell anybody bow to make good
coffee, but we just wish to say a word
about the treatment of the coffee after
it is made, And on this treatment de
pends its excellence, brew it as you may.
The rule is simple: never decant it.
Whatever else you do about it, bring it
to tlie taiile in the vessel in which it was
made. A handsome urn or gorgeous
coffee-pot is the grave of good coffee.
Of course, if it is considered more desir
able to have the pot look well than to
have tlie coffee taste well, we have noth
ing more to say. But when hot coffee
is emptied from one vessel into another,
the kitchen ceiling generally receives the
essence-liulen vapor which should have
found its way into the cups on the break
fast table. And one word about these
cups. When tlie coffee enters them it
should find the milk or the cream al
ready there. By observing these rules,
ordinary coffee, made in almost any way,
is often very palatable indeed .—Home
and Society , Scribner's ferr October.
Saving in the Stahle.— A Long
Island farmer, Mr. AV. II. ltisley, thus
discourses on tlie stable manure and its
adjuncts. He says: "Experience lias
demonstrated that stable manure, when
properly composted and cared for, is tlie
very best general fertilizer that can be
used. But tlie bulk and the expense of
transportation—if it could be bought—
must confine its use to tlie supply that
can be produced at home, or obtained
very near. AVitli system anil care tliis
supply can be largely increased by gath
ering, at the proper season, everything
of a vegetable nature that can be fer
mented and decomposed, and storing it
in a convenient place for use. Every
animal should lie made auxiliary by be
ing kept in staliles, yards, or pens, and
tlie ground floors of which should lie
keiit covered with litter. As often as
tins litter becomes soiled it should be re
moved and placed in a pile (under cover
is liest) and fresh litter spread on the
floor. Tlie liquid being rich in ammo
nia, it is important that care should be
taken to have it all absorbed and pre
served with the carboniferous element.
There is some art and skill required in
ordei to generate, combine, and pre
serve tlie most valuable elements of sta
ble manure. Tiie raw pile will not fer
ment during freezing weather. But in
tlie early spring it should lie removed to
a suitable place to form into a pile about
four feet high to ferment. Tlie pile
should be covered with a layer of dry
muck, or rich earth, or, wliat is la tter, if
to la* bad, ground plaster of Paris, to
absorb the gases, ammonia, nitrogen,
and carbonic acid, as they are generated
during fermentation.
a
The Preparation of Tea.—T he
definite effects sought from tea-drinking
over and above tlie mere comfort given
by tlie hot liquid are produced by two
ingredients of the leaf,—the alkaloid
tlieine and tlie aromatic matter. The
latter is what is chiefly valued by the re
! im ' d connoisseur of tea ; and according
lv lie slie ) makes tea by pouring per
fectiy boiling water on a pretty large al
lowMice of leaf, drinking off tlie first in
fusion and rejecting the rest. Made in
i tliis manner tea is, no doubt, not only a
j very pleasant beverage, but also a most
useful restorative; but, unfortunately,
; so far from being cheap, it is a costly
beverage, and the poor cannot afford to
drink it. The plan which thev adopt is
that of slow stewing, tlie tea-pot staml
j„ K f or hours together upon tlie bob.
T|,e result of tliis kind of cooking is a
It very high percentage of theine (and also
of the astringent substances which are
ruinous to fine flavor) is extracted ; and
the tea, though poor enough as regards
any qualities which a refined taste
would value, is, says the Lancet, decided
ly a potent physiological agent .—Nature
lx? and Science, Scribner's for October.
in the Maryland Farmer says : Let me
warn you alxnit tree peddlers'; most of
them are impostors, anil none are as re
liable as tlie first-class nurseryman,from
whom alone you ought to buy, because
you can get tlie trees cheaper, and vou
up have got a guarantee that you get wliat
j you buy. These tree-peddlers, or agents
for selling fruit trees, witli their briglit
ly colored finit pictures have done incal
ex- culable mischief in our southern country
particularly, and yet intelligent gentle
men are daily found buying of them
largely. We would also reccommend
our farmers to buy of our nurserymen
near home, where the trees are acclitna
ted and grown on soil similar to where
they are to be transplanted, and from
of men who know the sorts of fruits best
adapted to our soils and climate, rather
in than send off a thousand miles for the
same article grown on a different soil,
and used to a different clime, when it
can lie bad at our doors, and can be seen

Improper Mulching.— We lately
saw some trees that had been killed, we
have no doubt, by excessive mulching.
They had been planted in a lawn, and
the cut grass had been gathered up
heaped around them. Grass newli

roots which are near the surface. Thus^
an exactly opposite effect to that pro
duced by proper mulching is caused, and
instead ol an accession of moisture to
the soil, the soil is rapidly deprived of
what it already had, by tire neat. Mulch
ing should not be so extensive as to
cause heating, but only sufficient to pre
vent evaporation from the soil and to re
turn moisture .—Rcartli und Hume.

To Measure Corn in the Crib.—
Add the width of the bottom of the
crib in inches to the width across the
corn in the upper part, also in inches;
divide the sum by two, and multiply it
by the height and length of the corn in
the crili, also in inches; and divide the
product by 2,7ö0. The result will give
the heaped bushels of ears, two of which |
will make a bushel of shelled corn, if of !
the flint variety, and one and one-half
if of the Western Dent corn. By multi
plying the average width, height and
length, in inches, together, the cubic
contents in inches is found, and 2,750
cubic inches make a heaped bushel.
Oats. —Josh Billings says : "All you
have to do to raise them is to plow deep,
then manure it well, then sprinkle the
oats all over the ground, one in a place,
then set up nites to keep the chickens
and woodchucks out uv them, then kra
dle them together with a kradle, then
rake them together with a rake, then
stack them together with a stack, then
thrash them out with a flail, then clean
them up with a mill, then sharpen both
ends of them with a knife, then stow
them away in the granary, then spend
wet days and Sundays trapping for rats
and mice. It ain't nothing but phun to
raise oats—try it."
Facts Fon Farmers.—A series of
experiments, instituted to test the aver
age loss in weight by drying, shows that
corn loses one-fifth, and wheat one-four
teenth by the process. From this state
ment is made that, farmers will make
more by selling unshelled corn in the fall
at seventy-live cents than the following
summer at one dollar a bushel, and that
wheat at $1.32 in December, is equal to
$1.50 for the same wheat in June follow
ing. This estimate is made on the basis
of interest at 7 per cent., and takes no
account of loss from vermin. These
facts are worthy of consideration.
Top-Dressing for Meadows.— Two
bushels of refuse salt, two of plaster,
and four bushels of fine ground bone
dust; well mixed together and sown
broadcast over tlie meadows, per acre.
If there are thin places sow grass seed
on them, harrow well, and give a double
dressing of manure. After harrowing,
roll. Keep the stock off, or graze your
meadows but little if you wish a good
yield of grass next year.
OUR HOME.
In most families the care of the house
hold falls naturally upon the mother;
tliis is right except where there are
grown daughters, in which case, partly
that the weary mother may have tlie
rest she needs and longs for, and partly
that tlie daughter may have the experi
ence she needs and generally does not
long for, the daughters should lie obliged
to lighten the mother's burden; yes,
obliged—the word lias an ugly sound, but
it is the word to use: not that daughters
are unfeeling or undutiful, but that
many of them have no idea wliat skill
and thought must be exercised by some
one before the household machinery can
be made to run so no grating is heard:
they have a vague impression that house
work adjusts itself: that tlie nice combi
nation which forms a good meal, hap
pens. Many a young wife rushes into
housekeeping only to feel the deepest
chagrin and mortification upon discover
ing that she is wholly unequal to tlie
task undertaken.
Tlie housekeeping that was to be so
perfectly blissful is all a tangle; if she is
a true woman she will go to work
bravely, and conquer the difficulties that
lie before her; if she lias not sufficient
force to carry her through such a course
she will relapse into a weak, slovenly
housekeeper—an affliction to her hus
band, an object of disgust to herself, and
an everlasting disgrace to lier mother.
So we say to mothers, oblige your daugh
ters to learn all tlie details of house
keeping, and they will bless you for it
when the time comes for them to use tlie
knowledge, the acquiring of which was
so distasteful to them.
Lemon Piuldinrj .—Stir one pint of
light bread crumbs into one quart of hot
milk; when it is cool add half a cup of
sugar, tlie grated rind of one lemon, a
little salt, tlie yolks of five eggs and the
whites of two. Bake this until it is
done, being careful not to leave it in tlie
oven long enough to get watery. Beat
tlie three whites to a froth, gradual! y ad
ding tlie juice of the lemon and half a
cup of powdered sugar; if the whites go
down when the lemon is added beat
them until they come up again, which
they will surely do if the eggs are fresh.
When the pudding is done, spread over
the top of it some dark colored jelly or
preserves, and throw tlie float on in
large spoonfuls, put back into the
and brown slightly. To lie eaten cold
without sauce.
Sptmge Cake .—Beat three eggs ten
minutes, then add two cups of sugar
and beat for five minutes, add one cup of
flour in which lias lieen put one tea
spoonful of cream tartar, and beat one
minute more, after which stir in lightly
half a cup of cold water in which 1ms
been dissolved half a teaspoonful of
soda, and filially add one cup of flour
and one tablespoonful of lemon juice.
Bake twenty minutes in a quick oven.
To Drive Away Ants.—W e were
much troubled tliis season by having
large black ants find their way to our su
gar box wherever we could place it Re
membering to have read somewhere that
common elder would keep ants away
from anything about which it was placed,
I gathered an armful of the young sprouts
and put them around tlie box. AVe have
not since been troubled in the least by
them.—E. E. Tuttle.

eighteenth commencement.
Tlie Eighteenth Commencement of Claverack College and Hudson River In
stitute took place June 15th to 20th. The baccalaureate sermon was preached
Sunday evening by Dr. Newman. Tlie examinations were satisfactory. The
gymnastic exercises proved the sufficiency of the gymnastic apparatus and the
excellence of the drill.
A musical entertainment of great excellence was given
Wednesday evening. The commencement exercises proper are highly commended.
Six young women graduated in the regular course, and a larger number of young
women and men graduated in the academical department,
addressed by D. J. Pratt, a regent of the university : Rev. M. S. Terry, of Pough

The Board of Visitors speak In high terms of tlie
system of "forms" in use at this institution.
These forms are arranged accord
ing to tlie age, ability, and moral standing of tlie student. Tlie President meets
each form once a week, and gives instruction privately, by lectures and free
versation, on topics of politeness, morals, elements of success in life or in busi
ness, and other similar subjects. Each form also meets twietyi week for religious
exercises, under tlie charge of a professor or teacher appointed for that purpose,
and tlie same teacher also meets them on Wednesday of each week for declama
tion and composition. Besides these four weekly meetings, each form has, during
the term, a public exhibition and a social reception. The result of all this is to
secure to each student tlie careful oversight of counsels of tlie President and
experienced teacher, and continued instruction and discipline in rhetoric, general
literature, morals, and religion, and especially in social culture and refinement.
