THE KITCHEN.
The first consideration in a cooking
room is cleanliness Tried by thia test
papered walls are an abomination in
such a place. You cannot darken this
room through parts of the day in sum
mer, as you do others, and consequent
ly fly specks will be numerous. Thfse
walls absorb the kitchen odors and
steam, and the smoke rests lovinply
upon them. If creeping things get
into the house, they are sure to in
sinuate themselves into the paper on
the walls. Hard-finished walls are
more cleanly, for they qpn be washed,
but unless they are finished better
than in the kitchens we have seen,
they soon look dirty, and this is the
next worst thing to being so; for such
finishing soon becomes discolored and
‘splotchy.’ There is nothing that will
compare with the old-fashioned white
wash, pure and simple. The color
wash may give the walls a prettier
tint, but it must be put on by a prac
tical hand, whereas whitewash may be
applied by any one, whenever a dirty
spot makes its appearance. It i3 true
unpracticed band 3 do not apply the
brush as evenly as could be wished,
but a few streaks more or less don’t
matter; we can ail see streaks are
white and clean. Don’t have anything
painted. Things in a kitchen will get
soiled. It follows they must be cleaned.
Soap is a foe before which paint in
variably quits the field. Very soon the
color will be off in spots, and nothing
less than repainting the whole room
will ever make it look clean again. It
is still more objectionable to leave the
wood in its native state. It requires
frequent scrubbing to keep this clear,
and even this process will not suffice
to keep all sorts of wood in good con
dition. Some woods actually blacken
under the scrubbing brush. But if the
native wood, even common kind, is
well oiled and varnished lightly, the
room will be prettier for it, and with
very little washing the wood-work can.
be kept sweet and clean.

A correspondent of the Athens
Watchman gives the following recipe
for killing rats. Should it accomplish
what he claims for it, it will prove cl
great value to those who are troubled
with these abominable pests. It is so
simple and so free from danger, that
it is well worthy of a trial. He says-:
common slate sponge, (which
at any drug store.)
<•/ grease el any kind,
■” i t
’ an/
Hfy produces death. I advise
Wa to give this a fair trial, and
to place a small piece of sponge
to ascertiau whether or not
TO have injured the qualities of the
sponge by heating.”
The losses which most reduce the
farmers’ profits are those which arise
from missed opportunities, badly laid
plans, want of preparation for possible
contingencies, and other failures re
suming from poor business habits.—
The husbandman, above all others,
needs to take thought for the morrow.
Harvesting, supply of tools, seed and
other necessary things, should be con
sidered beforehand. Perhaps the most
serious wounds a farmer thus inflicts
upon himself arise from want of
preparation for changes of weather
during the growth of his crops, their
harvesting, or for the winter care of
his stock. Scientific farming, in its
best sense, is neither more nor less
than farming on the basis of the best
possible plan.
The following statement of a bit of
experience in regard to frozen flesh is
worth remembering The writer says;
“In 183S I froze one of my large toes
solid and white to the foot. I put it at
once into a little cold water, occa
sionally adding a liitle snow, that the
water might have no part in thawing
it. A. coat of ice formed as around a
frozen potato, I kept it in water till
the coat of ico was melted and the
toe was thoroughly thawed. It never
swelled nor peeled, nor gave me the
least trouble. It has never, indeed,
been more sensitive to the cold than
the others. The cold water prevented
thawing till the blood had time to
thaw it and continue its life. If the
surface thaws before the blood flows
into it, it dies, and terrible suffering
follows.”
The durability of the soles of boots
and shoes may be greatly increased bv
coating them with gum-copal varnish,
which also has the effect of making
them waterproof. Four or live coats
should be given, allowing each coat of
varnish to dry before the succeeding
one is applied. The leather uppers of
boots or shoes may be rendered soft
aud waterproof by rubbiug into them,
while warm, before the fire, a mixture
composed of four ounces of lard and
one ounce of resin.
For promoting the fertility of fruit
trees, root pruning is an operation
now generally resorted to. If proper
ly carried out, it is perhaps the most
certain way to reduce a luxuriant ti’66
to u fruitful state.
THE ,UE OF HEAKTS.
Mr. Chandler, Secretary of the Inte
rior, made a mistake last week which
approaches the ridiculous. On Satur
day be took it into his gigantic head
to go ‘visiting;’ there were many mem
bers whom be wished to conciliate,
and he thought he’d leave bis card for
them. After setting his ponderous
body in his luxurious carriage, be
found bis cards had been left on the
library table.
‘Go in and get them; Thomas (the
coachman) has the list, and I want
you to go to every house named on it
and leave one of the cards you bring
out, and, and it, don’t open this door
again.’
Peter went in, got the only pack he
saw, mounted the box, and com
menced leaving the cards. After an
hour’s driving the carriage stopped.—
Peter appeared, opened the door and
said:
‘lf ye plaze, sur; there is only one
uv of the cards lift, and more’n tvvinty
places yet to stop at.’
‘How many,’ growled Mr. Chandler.
‘One, sur; the ace of hearts is all
that remains.’
‘What; the deuce—’
‘No, sur, Said Peter,’ interrupting
him, ‘I left the deuce at the last place
but one. It is unnecessary for us to
continue this story.
Our Glorious Country.
The total area of the United States
is now 3,613,844 square miles, or 1,-
042,000,000 acres, one-half of which is
public land. In surface extent three
n.;tion3 surpass the United States
the British, Chinese and Eussian em
pires. The arable land under culti
vation is less than one-tenth of the
total area. What a magnificent pros
pect for the future unfolds itself to the
vision of the American as he contem
plates the unrivalled grandeur of its
country. Should we not all pray that
intestine strife, hatred, bickerings,
fraud and sectional animosity may
cease, that the fair picture of our com
mon future may not be blurred, and
the golden sky of our destiny dark
ened with gloom and storm. If our
country could only be kept out of the
clutches of thievish ‘rings,’ and re
moved from the destructive sway cf
demagogues and political shysters,
how soon might we not resume our
onward progress to the front and head
of nations—the position assigned to us
by the God of nature.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says: “It has come
to light to-day that the administration
has established a system of espionage,
embracing the whole country, and
whereby it expects to obtain early in
formation of the movements and utter
ances of prominent Democrats in every
corner of the land. Included in the
vast jLe.tedaxe
upon the people who are taxed for
their support, are understood to be all
the special agents of the postoffice and
treasury- departments, and where they
will consent to undertake such work
the country postmasters. A denial of
this statement may- be expected from
interested quarters, but it is absolutely
true nevertheless.”

Some weeks ago it was known that
Taft, of the Department of Justice (?)
had sent a number of his faithful tools
to prowl about Northern and Southern
towns and cities, for the purpose of re
porting to him the sentiments of the
people. This is anew system of gov
ernment espionage introduced by the
Radical banditti, who are now plotting
to perpetuate their power in defiance
of the will of the people. No free or
honest government has any use for
such agencies.—Savannah News.
It is useless to attempt to make the
best of hogs if they have been neglect
ed when pigs. Farmers should bear
in mind that the early care of pigs
make the good hogs. Avery great
waste is occasioned by tue careless
treatment of pigs. Hundreds of
pounds of pork are lost bj this over
sight, and frequently the breed is de
nounced and condemned on account of
this kind of carelessness. To make
good hogs we must keep the pigs
growing and in good condition.—lndi

Grant, in his message, insults the
people of the North by asserting that
a large percentage of the popula ! iou
sympathized with the rebellion. Let
ting alone the outrageous falsity of
the assertion, it comes with very bad
grace from one who offered his service
to the Southern Confederacy and had
the same rejected, before he designed
to ally himself with the Union cause.

Who says that the fires of patriot

He also had sls in cash, a watch
