OTTAWA FREE TR A DER; SATURDAY, A PRIL: 9, 1881 - - ' . . . KOUSEHOLD ANO FARM. The secret ot cooking pljj's leet, according i to Mr. P. T. Barnum, the "Great Bhowmnn," ' is to wrap each pig'a-foot in a cotton bamt.-ige ' mound two or three lime around it, and well rorded with twine. Then boil them four hours. Let them remain in the bandages till net let) to fry, broil or pickle. The akin will hoKI it together while being cooked, and when otten they will be found as tender and delicate ns potsible. Wh"le glucose or grape sugar has not been shown to be itseir nuiliui, me suipnunc a:iu and lime used in the manufacture of it from starch are very injurious. Professor Kedsie, of the Michigan Agricultural College, found in a gallon of common table syrup 141 grains ot sulhuric acid and 724 grains of lime. An other sample contained 72 grains of sulphuric acid, 28 grains of copperas, and 303 grains of lime to the gallon. A whole family had been made seriously ill by partaking ot it. The American Vhemitt says that a western farmer discovered many years ago that wood could be made to last longer than iron in the ground. Time and weather, he says, Bcem to have no efl'ect on it. The posts can be pre pared for less than two cents apiece. This is the recipe: Take boiled linseed oil and stir in it pulverized charcoal to the consistency of Eaint. Put a coat of this over trie timber, and, e adds, there is not a man who will live to see it rot. Choohino Skkd. 'An Englishman, by find, ing one very superior head of wheat and se. lecting the largest grains, in a few years is said to have harvested 100 bushels of wheat Irom one acre.

AlfulU Clover, This is probably the most valuable variety for permeable subsoils, consisting f lonrri, sand or gravel, as its roots penetrate to a creat depth, ftr below the average of other plants. It is more difficult to establish the first year, requiring a fine mellow soil but it will then produce a profitable crop from rive to twelve years. It yields a prodigious amount of green fodder for cattle, ard should lw cut when fir-t commencing to bloom. It is no sooner cut than it pushes out new sprouts, and the after growth is something wonderful. In the dry est and most sultry weather, when every blade of grass withers. Lucerne is as fresh anil green as in spring, because the roots iro down to the moisture in the ground. It may he cut and used like ordinary clover hay. Although such a prodigious yieldcr it dots not exhaust the soil, but rather improves it. It should not he own on compact clay soils even with a light subsoil. Three cuttings can easily be made In one season after it is well established. It grows two or three feet high and has purple blossoms. What an Old Fnrmrr hayn. I am an old man upwards of threescore years, during two score of which I have been rich and have all I need ; do not owe a d illar; have given my children a good education, and when I am called away shall leave them enough to keep the wolf from the door. My experience has taught me.that 1. One acre of land well prepared and well tilled produced more than two which received only the same amount of lidior used one one. 2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog, well fed is more profitable than two kept on the same amount necessary to keep one well. 3. One acre of clover or grass is wonh more than two of cotton where no clover or cot ton is raised. 4. No farmer w ho buys oats, corn or wheat, lodder and hay, can keep the sheriff from the door to the end. 5. The farmer who never reads the papers, sneers at hook farming and improvements, al ways has a lesky roof, por stock, broken down fences, and complains of bud "seasons." 6. The farmer who is above bis business and entrusts it to another boou bus none to ai tend to. Cultivation of Currant. A few years ago, the currant whs found in nearly every garden. It whs often neglected, but it rarely failed to prod in e something of n crop. Now it is seldom plai ted, and the liltV fruit that is produced Is pent-rally poor in quality. The reafon for this slate of things is that the currant-worm eat the leaves and pre vent the fruit from ripenlni'. If h it unchecked for two years, they w ill kill the lnMip. A great many remedies I ave been proposed, bni there is only one that is well known ui that never fails. One ounce of powdered white hellebore, which cots five t ents, niued wi'h ten quarts of water, and sprinkled over the hut-hea in a dry day. ill kill every worm. First put in 1 lie powder with just wner enough to wet it; mix h well, and then put in the rest of the water. Soon after the leaves come out the worms appearand may l.c I'miml near the ground. If taken early, it is only ne cei-sury to sprinkle that part of the hush u hen they have made their appeamncr. We have fifty bushes, twenty five White Grape and as many VersaillaiM': and inn Oflnred of the powder have hern Miflicirnt. It is only applied once. Of course Paris Green or London Porph yron hi Ite effectual, but they elmutri on no ac count he used for this purpose. No harm run come from the helleNre, as It n more poi.i.. OB than totiacco.

The first thing to do is to place the horse a feet in tubs of warm water, then blanket heavi ly, and get the animal thoroughly warm all over. The lameness is caused by u sUiiailon of the blood in the teet. caused by beinir nailed too rapidly after exhausting labor. The warm water thins the blood, extends and sortens the bloods vessels, and favors Increased clrculH lion. In very bad cases, bleeding in the foot may be necessary, though ordiuar ly it may be dispensed with.

AS an lliusirniiou ucnrnm " subject we take irom the Maine Farmer the following by Mr. A. E. Faught, ot North H 1 grade, in that state: "Many years since, an Irishman, it is said, purchased a sma'l patch ol land, whicn had been so thoronirhlv exhausted as to be constd-1 ered incapable of producing a paying crop ofjnte countv, IVnn.

His near neighbors thought this was a specimen of Irish intelligence, and made much sport over it. They were confi dent he would not get rye enough to pay for his labor. But the rye came up well and crew and ripened, anil when a large yield was bur vested, the neighbors concluded thai the Irish man knew a great deal more than they thought he did. They coulit not account for it.bulthe fiict was before them. Such discs me common and go to prove that good tiilaire will help to increase production." . J . lnuune. Rruri; to Kluht fur t . Hon. Thurlow Weed writes the following letter to the New York llerald. The tsicis stated have caused some comtucnt in military aud government circles: "Your eloquent tribute to the character ol the late Emperor Alexander, supplemented by a irlowinir recoemlion ut his friendship ft r our conntrv. prompts the revcUtion of tin in- c dent proving that the t'zar was our friend in action us well as protesston. it win ne re- memhered that early In the rebellion a llus- stan Meet lay lor several mnniiis in our liar hor, and that, other Russian men-of-war were stationed at Sau Francisco. Admiral rarra- irut, who was refining the United Slates ship Hartford, lived at the Astor House, where be was frequently visited by the Kussian inlmiral, betweeu w hom, when "they were young ofD cers serving in the .Mediterranean, a warm friendship grew up. bitfinir In my room one day ntter dinner, Adrmrul Furragut said to his Uusstan tnend: "'Wtiy are you spcndiug the winter here in idleness?' " ''I am here,' replied the Russian admiral. 'under sealed orders seals only to he broken in a contingency that has not yet occurred.' He added that other Russian war vessels were lvini; oil" San Francisco with sealed orders. "Uiiring mis conversation tne iiussum a i minil inlniiited that he bad received vernal orders to break the seals if during the rebel lion we became involved in a war with foreign nations. Strict confidence was then enjoined. W hen in Washington a few days later, Secre tary Seward informed me that he had asked t lie Kiissinn minisier wtiy ins government kept ihclr ships of war tic long in our hartmrs, unci while in answer he disclaimed any know'- edg of the nature of their visit, he felt at Iil ir'v to anv that it had no unfriendly purpose. Loins Napolean had invited Russia, as hi did Kncland, to unite with him in demanding the breakage of our blockade. The Russian amhassador in London informed hisgoxein nifntthat f'nuland wa prrparingfor war with America on account of the r-euure ol Mason and Slitlcll. Hence two fleets weic Imme liatelv sent serous ihe Atlantic under sealed orders, so thai if their services were not need d the intentions of the emperor would re main, as th' V have to this day, a secret. It i certain, however, that when our government and Union were imperilled by a formidable rcliellion we should have found a powerful ally in Russia had an apprehended emergent y occurrid." The Crp. A the annual meeting in New York lal week of the American Association for Ihe pro pagation of fish, Mr. H. U.

The year lft'K) will not be it leap vear. 1890 and 1001 will be leap wars. To explain the reason of this, we will trive a short account of the change of style iu the calendar eflected by Pope Gregory XIII. He found that the error of eleven minutes in the Julian culeadur had amounted to ten days. He. therefore, deduct ed t n days in October, 1582. and, to prevent a recurrence ol tne t rior, 11 was orucreu mat every year ending a century hbi.uld not he con siden d a leap year except the multiples of the year 400. Thus, 1G00 was a leap year, but 1700 whs not, uor 1800, nor will 1900 be; but 2000 will be 11 leap year, and every 400th year alter it. Iu KtiL'lamt we nut not adopt the Gregorian calender till 1752; consequently, with us, 1700 was a leap year, and we wire eleven days out.. These were subtracted, and, at the time, the measure enacting the altera tion caused considerable uneasiness and some lew riots among the poorer people, whocouln not comprehend the matter, and raised the cry ot "Give us back our eleven days I" 1 lie Greeks and Russians still retain the old style, so there is now a difference of twelve days be tween their date and ours, because they have considered 1700 and 1800 as leal) years. The term "bissextile," us applied to the leap year, was given by Julius Liesar when he reformed the cnlenclar, piving the additional day every four years to February, as being the shortest month, and caused it to be inserted between ihe 24th and 25th. By the Roman mode of reckoning, the 24th of February was called the sixth before the Calends of .March, nnd the intercalary day w as, therefore, named bis tr tun dien (the second sixth day), aiu! tin; year Uititeitdii) (containing the sccon J sixth day ) Very Dangerous.
