FARM AM) HOUSEHOLD.
Corn for Hors.
Unripe corn is unprofitable feed.
There is a great waste in feeding. Too
much of it adheres to the cob. New
ripe corn, dry enough to be easily
shelled by hogs, is profitable ,! feed
during the fall and winter ; kit after it
has been wintered overwnd laid in the
bin some time it generally becomes so
hard and flinty that hogs do not relish
it. It seems to make their teeth sore.
They do not properly masticate and
digest it, as their droppings show. A
Wisconsin farmer says: “I shell and
soak in water old corn before feeding.
Prepared thus, hogs and even little
pigs are very fond of it, and it appears
to me that a* bushel of old corn will put
more flesh on hogs than the same
amount of new. One wants a good
corn-sheller at hand, w hich the saving
in feed will soon pay for .”—New York
Herald.

liiatlueulnbint the Sex In Fowls.
Many are puzzed to distinguish the
sex in geese, ducks and guineas. This
distinction in many birds is designated
by the plumage, but where both are ex¬
actly alike there is some difficulty
oftentimes in telling the male from the
female. The male of domestic fowls is
always the largest and strongest bird,
and in colored plumage has the darkest,
highest, riche t color. The male has
the strongest, neatest form, and pos
sesses the swiftest flight. With the
partridge cochins and brown leghorns,
birds similar in plumage, the cocks are
rich-colored birds, with jet-black breasts,
and possess a neck, saddle and back
that the common observer would term
red, while beside them the hens are
tame and sober of dress. Notwithstand¬
ing the uniformity of plumage in ducks,
there are distinguishing marks to be de¬
pended on. The drake is the larger
bird, and, as in geese, also, the male has
the longest neck and the more upright
carriage. The white gander is bold,
and has a longer, flatter head. The
goose has a shorter neck, carries it
lower, is meeker, more quiet and hum¬
ble in aspect, with shorter legs, a
thicker, shorter, lower body and is en¬
tirely subservient to her mate. There
is a marked difference about the eyes.
The gander’s are bright and piercing,
and can gaze at the sun without flinch
i Dg . The difference of sex is noticed
more than any one thing in the move¬
ment and carriage, as well as size and
neatness of form. The principal differ¬
ence is about the head. With turkeys
the difference in sex may be observed at
six weeks, the maleB beginning to shoot
the red, and put ou airs in imitation of
the sire. Common chicks may be des¬
ignated at ten days, or two weeks at the
furthest, the pullets being easily
selected from the roosters .—American

A of the Housekee.
gives some simple rules for
hyacinths, from which it is evident that
every house may easily be beautified
with some of thesj brilliant flowers:
The great desire of all true flower
lovers is to have some fragrant, beantifnl
blooms in the depth of winter, and
there is nothing more certain to give ns
flowers then, if properly attended to,
than the hyacinth. Here is one method:
Take a five-inch pot, which till with soil
composed and of good equal garden parts soil. of sand, Make cow
manure a
space in the soil for the bulb, so that it
will 1«- about half below the earth; then

BLACKSHEAR, GA.. DEC. 29, 1881.
Keep them moist at all times, however.
By bringing the pots into the light at
different times a continuous bloom may
be enjoyed the entire winter. It is nec¬
essary to keep them cool and well
watered while growing.
Another way to grow hyacinths in the
home which is in glasses of water. The glasses
florists sell for the purpose are
best adapted to this mode of culture.
The glasses being filled with pure soft
water, the bulbs are to be p iaeet^in
them during October and. Novembef so
that the base of the bulbs may just
touch the water; in tune, the water will
evaporate, and once a week or so it must
be replenished, being carefnl not to dis¬
turb the roots in refilling the glasses.
Set them away in a cool d irk place, as
recommended for growing in pots; then,
when the roots hare filled the glass, ex¬
posure to the sun will be in order. To
have them grow well, sprinkle the
leaves, and give them fresh air when¬
ever practicable. To kee» the water
sweet, put a piece of ehdreoal in the
glass.
Peter Henderson says that hyacinths
grow better in moss than in pots or
glasses. The moss is sponge-like and
the roots of hyacinths grow luxuriantly.

surface. After planting, the mos
should be watered sufficiently to tho
onghly saturate it, and tiien put tin
basket or other receptacles away in
some dark, cool place, the object being
to induce root growth, and to that end
the moss must be kept moist at all
times. To brighten fhe colors of the
flowers give weak guano water once a
week—say one pound of guano to fif

Recipes. *
Printers’ Pudding.— One euffof suet
chopped Bpootfruls fine, of two eggs, three of jniJk, table
sugar, one cup
on* «u r nLaaiwins. cwtroifcty T
one-half of *i nutmeg, two teaspoonfr
of make baking potoder, Boil and flour enough Xo
a batter. for two hours.
Lemon Cheese Cake.— Grate with care
the oily rind of three fresh lemons ;
rub this with one quarter of a pound of
loaf sugar pounded, the until perfectly in¬
corporated with sugar; then add
by degrees half a pound of good fresh
butter ; beat very light the yolks of six
eggs and add ; mix these well together;
then line a dish with puff paste, and put
in the above mixture. Bake three
quarters of an hour. Serve hot.
Cooking Beep. —An appetizing way to
cook slices of fceef is this: Melt a
lump of butter in a frying pan ; cover
the bottom of the pan with onions sliced
very thin ; then lay the steak over them;
when the onions are fried until they
are tender put the beef on the bottom
of the pan and cover it with the onions ;
add butter or lard as you need it.
Liver cooked in this way "is nice also.
When it is doDe lay it on a platter and
heap the onions on the meat. A very
little gravy made in the pan in which
you have cooked the meat and onions
is an addition, but make only a little
and turn over the meat, seasoning it
well with salt and pepper.
Vinegar Pies.— One and a half cups
of good vinegar, one cup of water,
lump of butter size of an egg, sugar
enough to sweeten to the taste ; flavor
with lemon ; put in stew-pan on stove;
take five eggs, beat the yolks with one
cup of water and two heaping tea¬
spoonfuls of flour; when the vinegar
comes to a boil put. in the eggs and
flour, stirring till well cooked; have
ready ernst for four pies, put in the
filling and bake; beat the whites with
two spoonfuls of white sugar to a froth,
spread on the pies when done, and color
in the oven. These are excellent.
Quakers.
Quakers, as a sect, says an exchange,
appear to be a little more than holding
their own in this countrv, especially at
the West. The statistics of the New
York yearly meeting for the past three
years show that 451 members have been
added by request during that time,
while 111 have become members bv
birth. Deducting 303 members who
have left the society, the net
appears to have been 199. The
yearly meeting returns an increase
more than a thousand members within
a year, and now has 20,000 members,
The unusual numbers of additions by re
quest in the New York yearly meeting
is regarded as one of the results of the
revival meetings which have been
trodoced among the Friends within
few years past. Tho prosperity of
Indiana yearly meeting is largely at
inbuted to the influence of the suj*er
visorr committee tor religions work
whisu was is alto appointed made last year. A good
report ol the rev.raj meet,

cluding a magnificent full-length
trumeau. Next to this is the breakfast
