FIELD, GARDEN AND fIOIiSEHLOD.
Horses and Funs.—A Philadelphia doc
tor says that washing horses in the morn
ing, in water in which one or two onions
are sliced, will keep all the flies at a dis
tance. The experiment is worth trying.
Corn Beef.—The Scientific American
informs the ladies that if they would ln.vo
corn beef juicy after it is coid, and not as
dry as a chip, they should put it into boil
ing water when they put it on to cook, arid
they should not take it out of the pot when
done until cold.
Good Sconce Cake.—A lady contributes
the following recipe to the Western Rural :
Break four eggs in a pan ; then add two
cups of pulverized sugar, and beat them
well together. Dissolve an even tea
spoonful of soda in a tea cup of buttermilk,
and stir in with the other; then add floor
enough to make a stiffbatter, together with
a tea-spoonful of salt, and spices to taste.
Put it into two pans’; it will bake in half an
hour. Have the oven as hot as you would
for baking bread.
Thirst— QcEMcniNO.--A tablespoonful of
oatmeal, put into a largo tumbler, or pmall
jug, and filled up with clear, cold water,
well shaken up, and allowed to settle until
the large particles of meal fall to the bot
tom, forms a most refreshing drink in hot
weather, and it quenches thirst more than
any other. The iron puddlers, and other
workmen, who have to bear the greatest
amount of heat endurable by man, are al
ways supplied with oatmeal water, both
with satisfaction to themselves and masters.
This fact deserves the attention of farmers
and harvestmen.
Toe Best Way to Save Fodder—Cor
respondent of the Southern Cultivatpr says :
The only way to be sure to save your fod
der is to hang it up by the little ends of the
blades. When you have pulled a hand full
take it all in one hand, gather it with the
other hand as near the little ends as you
can to hold them all, bring the hands within
two or threo inches of each other, press the
blade flat between the thumbs and fingers
of each hand and stick the part thus press
ed between the hands edgewise between the
stalk and ear and bond it towards the stalk.
If you put it in right it will hang there,
cure in half the time, and if rained on, dry
more in two hours than in a day if tied
round the butt end. Try it.
Hawthorn Hedges. —Some times exper
ience is a very expensive teacher. There
are persons who will receive no second hand
article, not even advice f consequently they
havo to try a thing themselves before be"
iieving it good or bad. The failures of any
number of people teach them no useful les
son, and nothing less than a direct person
al loss will banish their conceit. For at
least a century thero have been scores of
our people who annually try to rear hedges
of the English hawthorn, but we doubt if
there is at this time ten roods of a first, rate
hedge of this kind in the country. In the
Middle States the weather is so hot in sum
mer that the leaves aro burnt, and at the
North the plant is liable to bo killed in
winter, and, in addition to an unsuitable
climate, the common apple-tree borer of—
ton makes sad havoc with old and appar
ently well established plants. Were it not
for the insect that attacks his genus of
plants, many of our native species of thorn
would mako as good a hedge as any of the
European.
llow to Eradicate Sassafras Bushes.—
George Levy, writing to the Baltimore
American, gives his mode of destroying
this troublesome bush: Many farms are
infested with sassafras bushes, and many
plans have been adopted for their destruc
tion with little success, the trouble being
that when they are grabbed up every small
root left will, the ensuing spring, produce a
separate shoot, and thus the numbers
increase. Thirty years ago a practical
farmer, who had seen four-score years, told
mo that, if the bushes wero grubbed up tho
day before and the day after the full of tho
moon in July, and the day before and the
day after tho full of the moon in August,
the small roots left in the ground will never
germinate again. After thirty years’ ex
perience, I am prepared to say to all who
are troubled with them, suspend all other
work; embrace the opportunity offered
during the four days I have named ; and,
in the coming spring, you may see one in a
thousand ; but follow the same course next
summer, and you shall see your enemy no
more. I speak from experience—l shall
leave others to philosophize and theorize
upon it.
Farming as a Business. —A man who is
not smart enough to run a store is not smart
enough to run a farm. Farmers are not to
be made out of what is left after lawyers,
doctors, ministers, and merchants are sort
ed and picked out. And if a man fails on
a good farm, it is not likely that he will
succeed in a store, for it requires more
talent to be a thriving farmer than to be an
average merchant. The one cause of
greatest failuro is the disproportion between
a man’s farm and his capital. A farmer’s
capital is his skilled labor and his money.
If he has little cash, he must have no more
land than he can thoroughly well managed
by his own personal labor. Every acre
beyond that is an incumbrance. One acre
well worked is more profitable than twenty
acres skimmed over. It is this greed of
land by farmers that have not the capital
to work it that keeps so many poor. Small
farms are better than large ones, simply
because they are better suited to the aver
age capital of common farmers. Large
farms with largo capital are better than
small ones.
But, two hundred acres of land, in the
possession of a man who has only enough
capital to stock and develop ten acres, leads
to one of two things—either that he pays
taxes on one hundred and ninety acres
which he does not use, or, as is more com
monly the case, that he spreads his small
capital out over the whole two hundred ;
and so thin is it that it is like a spoonful of
guano on Grand Prairie.
Farming is a good business for all men
who conduct it on business principles and
have capital according to the size of their
farms. If a man does not understand his
business, he will fail, whether he be farmer,
lawyer, minister, oi merchant. If a man
attempts to run a mine, a manufactory, a
bank, or a farm, without capital, he will
fail alike in all or any of them, but no
sooner in one than another of them.
Farming for amusement is another and
entirlv different thing. Some men prefer
dogs and horses ; some men pictures ; some
men landscape gardens and fancy green
houses, and other fancy farms, as a means
of agreeably spending tbeir money, and
occupying their leisure. A farm may be
a rich man’s plaything. He does not live
from him.— ll. TF. Beecher in Christian
Union.

trouble. After using it we are confident you will fully corroborate the statement of
thousands of others in its praise. Every family should, and will eventually have vne.
