T II E EAGLE. PuMis (Ml Every Friday Morning. 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. TO J)£HTKO ¥ It ATS. 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.” nough to in ■ity of the h‘- vWTt^n., f|W" • cnuids 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 ana Farmer. 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. Dover Press. Who says that the fires of patriot ism are smouldering ? A patriot in Rutland, Vt., did his whole duty on election day. He not only voted, but b§ traded horses nine times during tuo day, and at nightfall had the same horse with which he started at dawn. He also had sls in cash, a watch worth $25, a donble-barreled shot gun, an four bushels of potatoes. The goose-bone is a failure, but the ground-hog comes up occasionally, looks sadly on the sky, and goes back without a grunt. His non-committal ism is provoking. How can we have any weather at all this winter, if the goose-bone goes back upon us, and the woodchuck refuses to propkesv ? The oldest inhabitant is becoming des perate. The young jnau who boasted that he would yet make a noise in the world now beats a gong for an hotel. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS, HALL COUNTY.
