been known to cure.
Wheat.—See to it that your land is
well prepared before sowing wheat if you
desire a good crop. Roll before sowiug
if the land is clayey, roll after sowing if
it is sandy. l)o not make the mistake
of thin seeding. Use nlnmt two bushels
of seed to the acre, and drill

Quality of Wool.—Amateur sheep-
growers aye not nil aware that the wool
of sheep grows most rapidly in cold
weather, and that any cheek in the qual
ity and amount of feed at this time in
jures the quality of the wool. When
sheep are well fed in the winter the wool
starts to grow, but should any sturviug
take plaee the wool liber Would have a
weak place in it, and render it entirely
unlit for combing wool, which brings
such a good price in our markets. It
could only bo used where poor grades of
wool were used, as inooorse blankets and
carpets.
New Method of Ringing Pigs.—Cer
tain Poland China breeders at Nashville,
Indiana, give their method of riuging
pigs, that, with four years’ trial, lias
proved far superior to tho old method.
The ling should never bo put
gristle. If by any means it should be
too deep iu and feels solid in the gristle,
cut the ring out with nippers and put it
another that is loose iu tho skin. Then
the pig will suffer no pain, will go right
off to eating, and the pig or hog can not
root with tho ring in tho center ol
the nose, nor do they ever tear out
the old wav.
Produce of an Acre.—An Ohio farm

was becoming so foul I could not gel
only half a crop, so I determined to

' In tho winter they will need richer food.
They should havp dry. warm quarters,
with plenty of clean straw. Where cows
or cuttle are fed grain or oilcake, or
where the new system of ousilage is

extent pick up their own living. In my
case wc give them warm slows twice a
day during winter. They may seem to
l»e getting too fat, but this will not hurt
them. I like to see them in good condi
tion when turned out to glass in the
spring. And till tho grass is abundant
and nutritious I should feed tho pigs
night and morning with tho same food
they have had during tho winter. Witli
good pasture well-bred pigs that hsvo
been properly cared for during tho win
ter will keep fat and thrifty with little or
no extra food. They will ho iu a healthy
growing condition, and can bo fattened
in three or four weeks at any time
deemed desirable.
HOUSEHOLD HELPS.
Bklakfast Toast.—Mix two table-
bpoonfuls of sugar, a little salt and a
well-beaten egg in one-half pint of milk.
In this mixture dip slices of broad and
fry thorn on a buttered griddle until they
j»re light brown on each hide.

Omelet.—First, have fresh eggs, not
omelet eggs (in restaurants all eggs that
will not in any way do to boil, are put
aside for omelets), break the eggs
bowl, and to every e£g add a table
spoonful of milk and whip the whole as
thoroughly as you would for sponge
cake. The omelet pan must be
that butter will melt almost bro.vn in it,
but not quite.* Then run the whipped
eggs and milk into tho pan aud put it
directly over £he fire. .Take a thin-
blodt-d* knife and ran it carefully under
the bottom of tbe omelet so os to let that
gei above. If the fire is
right the whole moss will s’wBALjieiI.puff
and cook in about one minute. Watch
carefully that it does not burn. It is not
necessary to wait till the whole moss is
solid, as’its own heat will oook it after it
b.ns left tho pan, but begin at one side
and carefully roll the edge over and
over till it is all rolled up, then let it
stand a moment to brown. Turn out on
n hot plate and serve immediately.
A Free Country.
It has alwavs been thought, by read
ers of tbe daily papers, that New York
bad a fair share of crime; but it appears
that tbe place has never been permitted
to show its real criminal strength, on
account of a law which makes it a crime
.'to be a witness. It appears that when a
witness, or a probable witness, is dis
covered, who lias * any knowledge of a
criminal transaction, be is at oilce ar
rested and placed in tho “house of de
tention,” which is nothing less than s
prisou and from which ho con only be
releused upon bail. In this place wit
nesses are sometimes kept for months,
and even years, while the criminal him
self is out on bail! It will bo seen, there
fore, that the penalty against any one
for rnuking a complaint, or giving in
formation that a crime lias been com
mitted, is very severe, and by this means
much of tho crime committed in New
York is kept out of the courts and not
mudo a burden of expense upon the peo
ple. Strangers in New York, who have
had their pockets picked or been robbed,
can secure justice only by going to
prison themselves for a few months,
while their assnilant is out on bail,
busily and industriously engaged in pick
ing pockets enough to fee a lawyer to
clear him; and to buqJi a complexion
does it come at last that the poor victim
is ready to fall on his knees before the
man who has robbed liim, and implore
liim to be merciful and release him from
prison. But pick-pockets, as a class, are
a hard-hearted lot, and usually spurn the
supplicant unless his offer is accompanied
by a tender of money. Our Western
poople, when in New York on business
or pleasure, should take care not to place
themselves in the power of these merci
less wretches by being robbed by them.
In case, however, such a misfortune
cannot be prevented, and a person finds
his pocket-book stolen, bt should make
a break to get out of th« rity, and die
rather than be taken.

Two grangers front Green County, who
ere in here with some hogs, and who
.. ere stopping nt the Stock \ ttrds Hotel,
came up town Wednesday night to see
Hand*’*’ at tho Opera-house. They
\t on n front seat, and the audience no
cod all through the play that they wero
not pleased, and when they got into an
Elizabeth street oar after the perform-
those in tho ear got a pretty good
idea of what the trouble was.
Well, Lige, bow did it Btriko yon ?”
snid tho sandy whiskered one, as ho bit
off a piece of navy plug anil handed the
plug back to his friend.
“O, it didn’t strike me. All I want is
to live to get back to the tavern aud find
that red-headed Norwegian hotel keeper
that told me Hamlet was a burlesque
rn, with con-can girls. Call that a
e of amusement? I suppose ft place
’if amusement is where a man goes to
laugh. I don’t wout nobody to charge
me a dollar to see a funeral procession,
anil listen to a fellow dig a grave and
sing obscene songs. 1 tell you, Ezra, it
don't look right to see skulls thrown
aroiuul on the stage. And as for diggin'
graves, there is a man in Monroe that can
dig two graves Jo that fellow’s one.' ’
“O, yes, but Lige, people in cities like
to see funerals played in tbe theaters.
They never attend funerals unless they
are the corpse, or some of their relatives
die. Iu the country we all turn out to a
funeral, and it is no novelty to us. You
must think of the acting.” says Ezra.
“Well, when I come in here with any
more hogs, aud I want to enjoy myself, I
shall go out to the cemetery, or to the
insane osvlnm. It jnst made mo sick to
sec that ‘poor crazy girl, Ofoely, taking
on about her father that Gimlet killed
with a-scythe, and when thorn boys up in
the .loft begun to cheer her I felt like
going aud kicking them all down stairs,
and then saying my prayers. Any man
that will make fun of a crazy girl am I
fit. to live. I toll you I felt so bad for
that girl I was cussed glad when the
hired girl come in and said she
drownded.”
“Hamlet was bully, I thought,
could talk ’em all blind, and knew more
than the whole lot. Lige, do you tbiuk
ho was crazy V ’ asked Ezra.
“Crazy, no. He was a blasted fool
Say, Ezra, have a little sense now. Sup
pose your father was dead aud your
mother was married ogaiu to that fellow
that looked like a Sonthside saloon ke< p-
er, and some ghost should come howling
ing around you, with pauts mode of tin
full, a mosquito blanket on, aud ft tin
washbasin on his head, and pbint at you
with a tin dinner lioru, and tell you that
tho saloon keeper caught your father
asleep out iu tho sugar bush and poured
pepper-sauce in his ear and killed him,
and told you to go around gnashing your
mother bald headed, wouldn't you thiuk
it was a put up job, and they wero play
ing you for a sardine ? Of course you
would, anil you would belt him oue in the
iaw, and tell the ghost to go and soak his
Lend. Now, wouldn’t you ?”
“Well, may bo, Lige, but Hamlet
played his part well, didn’t he?"
“Certainly. The young mnu did splen
didly, considering the play he had, but I
kuow school teachers in Green County
tUsf &in "write a lietter play than that
during recess. Hamlet was no gentleman
to treat that girl the way he did. He
loved her, aud she loved him, nnd then
he went back on her, aud jabbed her
father, and set her crazy, aud when ho
happened to stumble onto her funeral iu
graveyard ho wanted to get up a cry-
match with tho girl’s brother, and
jump into the grave or. the coffin, and act
up, and put on style, and break up the
funeral. O, get out. I don’t like that
way of doing business. A man that
liain't got no more Hand than that couldn’t
get a job driving hogs for me. What he
ought to have douo was to marry tho
girl, and any court in Wisconsin would
have made liim marry her or pay a fine.”
“I guess you’re rnoro than half right,
Ligo, blit how did yon like the way it
wound up? There' wasn’t enough left
for a quorum, was there?” said Ezra.
“O.thero was killing enough, for some,
but it wasn’t what you would call sangui
nary. Let’s see, how many were there
that passed in tlieir chips. There was
Polouius, stabbed; Ofeely, she was
drowned, tho old woman, she dianlc that
6oda water with the vinegar bitters in it,
and went off behind the scenes. I sup
pose site is dead by this time. Hamlet
ran liis sabre into the king and he went
off to hunt his hole, and the chances are
he is dead. Then Hamlet and Liertos
punctured each other, and they died to
slow music. Was there any more, Ezra?”
“Not ns I see. There was some of
those supers holding up the corpses,
lucre w enough left to bury the
dead."
“Yes,” says Lige, as the car turned in
to Elizabeth street, “8ome of them did
get away, but they didn’t amount to any
thing. The best of the gang was killed
iu one way or another. Whattlieyouglit
to have had to wind up the business, was
a nitro-glycerine explosion, or a railroad
accident, with tho air full of legs and
arms. It was too tame. For funeral ob
sequies, Hamlet is a good play, but for
business give me Buffalo Bill. We get
off here, Ez. Watch me kill that land
lord when we get to the house. Egftd, I
can’t help thinking how confounded mean
tha* Jnmlet treated his mother. Why,
the lind ft right to get married again. ”—

Thero was a circumstance happened
in New York the other day, which lurows
considerable light on tho conundrum,
“ Whither are we drifting?” It appears
that for some time past tho New York
aristocracy lias bocu imbibing English
ideas and stylos. Coachmen have been
in livery; carriages havo a coat of
arma emblazoned on them; the tally-ho
conch has been introduced; tho uifty
young men affect tho dress, mutton-chop
whUkers and single-barreled oye-glasa of
the English snob, and other mannerisms
and moukey-sliinos aro oped. But all
these are harmless, oxoopt so far as they
act ou tho stomachs of sensible pcoplo os
an emetic, and produce retching. Re
cently, howevor, nil English custom has
licon adopted by tlicso New York noodles
that will not do in this land ef tho free,
and if it is attempted to be put in prac
tice to any extent aristocratic backbones
liable to get jarred. A wfined, highly
,>ootable and educated young lady, a

where the boarders u^ro of that class
that they would lick »p the spittle of a
dead-beat lord, or la#, and thank them
for the privilege. >’otv, among tho Eng

for n jiercon to A now anything; and s
school toucher ranks ns n governess, nnd
a governess ns t moninl and sorviv.it. So,
when it was ditcovered that ft “ menial ”
is eating at tho same table with them,
the sweet-scented scions of some success
ful scavenger insisted that she must lie
bounced; aud sho teas bounced. The
affair was uu outrage upon our boasted
“equality of all," and tho fact that no
one in the boarding-house was found to
raise an objection to tho proceeding
allows that tho blood of Now York peo
ple is getting protty thill. Wc presume
