The heavy rain at the close of the month being general, caused a freshet that damages considerably the freshly plowed lands and retards farm work on botton lands. Prior to the 29th however, the weather was all that the farmer could have wished for. Samuel A. Cook. Midway, April 1, 1886. a view to establishing a ‘‘goose farm. Among the party are James Bench, Henry Bailey and James Connor, all of whom are from Baltimore, Md. The latter said: “Yes, we want to secure a farm of several hundred acres, with a stream of water with rock bottom running through it, to start in the business of raising geese. It may seem like a rather curious business to engage in, but there is money in it. We got our idea from the great goose farm started some time ago down on the eastern shore of Virginia. Within an area of about 3,000 acres there live 5,000 geese of several varieties, attended by herd ers, and regularly fed with corn, etc. The object is the collection of down for quilts and pillows, and every six weeks a plucking takes place, only the breast and sides under the wings being plucked. Every goose will pro duce one pound of feathers per an num, which can readily be sold at 50c. per pound. We want to start with about 500 geese and calculate that they will raise 3,000 goslings a year. In addition to the money received for feathers, we propose to sell off the young geese, and can realize from 75 cents to $1 apiece for them. We have several farms in view along the line of the Pennsylvania road, and up the Monongahela river, but will not make a definite choice for the farm for few days yet. Geese live forever, you might say. Five hundred matron will weather the storms of forty win ters at least, barring accident. They raise their young with the utmost care, and, counting six goslings to a brood, you have 3,000 marketable fowls each fall besides the down. Of course, we expect to increase the stock as circumstances will permit.”— Pittsburg Dispatch Angels on Horseback.—Take twelve or more large sized oysters from their shells, removing the beards; cover each with a very thin slice of fat of bacon, dipping each slice into hot water and well drying it with a cloth before rolling it round the oyster; then place them on a fine skewer and suspend them before the fire until the bacon is nicely cooked. A slice of soft butter toast should be under them while cooking and on it they should be sent very hot to the table. Cure for Files. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighbor ing organs. At times, symptoms, of indigestion • are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture like perspiration, producing a very disagreeable itching, after get ting warm, is a common attendant Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles ield at once to the application of >r.

Many farmers have large orchards of peach and apple trees, which furn ish large quantities of fruit. They use what they want during the season and allow a great deal to rot. These orchards ought to be considered a part of the money producing crops of the farm. None of the products of the orchards ought to go to waste All along through the season, from time to time, the excess should be cut up and dried. Where the orchards are very large and the fruit very abun dant, it would be good policy to erect a cheap drying house 1 ; for small or chards scaffolds would answer. All defective peaches or apples ought to be regularly thrown to the hogs and, if convenient, boiled with a little meal and bran. Pet pigs would grow rap idly with this food and the pot liquor would make it still better. We have noticed how difficult it was to get dried peaches in the fall?and winter. All good dried peaches and apples, particularly the peaches, will find ready sale in the cities and towns. They are very wholesome used with other food. Many thousands of bushels of toma toes are suffered to rot in the gar dens for want of sticks to keep the vines from trailing on the ground. These could be easily converted into catsup and with dried okra, make as good soup for winter as for summer. Vet in many gardens the tomatoes are allowed to rot and whole patches of okra are permitted to remain on the stalks and become hard, being fit for nothing but seed when but a few pods would furnish seed enough for all the space that could be spared for their growth. To dry okra for winter use, the pods should be.cut into thin slices, hung up to dry in the sun and placed in wide mouth bottles and tightly corked. Besides making tom- atoe catsup the tomatoes can be cut into small pieces and dried and cork ed. This dried okra and a little toiiia- T09 catsup makes as good soup in the winter as they do green in the sum mer. A gentleman told the writer that he had often dried the okra in an oven, first cutting the pods into small pieces. It requires a little at tention to see that the oven is not too hot. All that is needed is to see that the pieces are dried and not burned. 1 have heard persons complain that their raspberry vines were greatly di minished and they found difficulty in procuring plants. D is easy to always keep an ample supply. The vines of ten grow from 6 to 8 feet. Extend One of the mct-t popular drinks is pear phosphates, made of acid phosphates, the flavor of which causes all who drink it to suspect the presence of pear syrup, whence its name. This drink was originated about two years ago in Baltimore, and has now spread • all over the country. A new firm which opened on Baltimore street over a year ago has retailed over its counter, by the glass, 900 gallons of this drink during the present month. It outsells any four syrups collectively ever intro duced. New York soda water men say it is wonderful how the drink takes. All classes use it, and it seems to suit all palates. The latest improved drink served at these resorts very much resembles egg-nogg without liquor, and is called egg phosphates. It is a combination of pear phosphates and eggs. It is in high repute, and has the flavor and consistency of egg-nogg. Taken be tween meals, it is a strengthening and nourishing drink. Ladies use it when shopping and consider it the top of summer beverages. Next in importance and popularity is Coca and Calisaya, a nutritious tonic. The strengthening properties of coca have recently come prominent ly before the world. It has a pecu- iar aromatic flavor, and is taken more for the benefits it confers than to gratify the palate. Newspaper men, merchants, those who do brain work or are much fatigued use it. Calisaya cordial is taken by those needing the anti-malarial effects of quinine and its tonic action. • Horsford's acid phosphate and vichy is a popular drink on a hot day. The same.acid phosphate, with lemon syrup, has a host of admirers. Limeade, made from limes instead of lemons, has a brisk demand. This drink originated in Richmond, Va., and is said by its admirers to be better, and more healthy than lemonade. It has better taste, and acts as a tonic as well as an acid. Vichy and cream is a new drink and is taken to get tbe benefit of a glass of milk, for which it is thought to be a good substitute. Vanilla, lemon, ginger and pine apple are the popular flavorings. A young goose not more than four months old is nice cooked in this way: After dressing and singeing it careful ly sprinkle pepper and salt and a lit tle sage in the inside; put a lump of butter in also to moisten it; then put it into a pan and then into an oven: baste it frequently with water in which you have put some butter and pepper and salt and a little bacon fat. Serve with nice brown gravy and with gooseberry jam or apple-butter. Cov er the platter with thin slices of but tered toast, moistened with the drip pings in the pan; then lay the goose upon it. A Charming Little Story. Several years ago a resident of one of the suburbs had the misfortune to become totally blind, a cataract forming over his eyes. While in this condition his wife died. A young German girl whom the unfortunate man had never seen, was very atten tive to the wife in her last illness, and after her death, did what she could to make a grief-stricken husband and his two little children as comfortable as possible. Such devotion did not go unre warded. The blind man proposed and was accepted. He married the faithful girl. Two children were the result of their union. During his years of blindness the sightless man never lost hopes that some day he might again look into the beauties of nature and see the loved ones around him. A physician was finally consulted, who agreed to attempt the removal of the cataract. The operation was successful, and he from whom the light of day had been shut out so many years saw again. He was al most beside himself with joy. A friend, who was at once recognized, came, leading a lady, by the hand. Do you know who this is?" lie said to the happpy fellow. “No. 1 do not.” “That is your wife,” and then the pair, one of whom had never seen the other, fell into each other's arms, and domestic scene of pathetic beauty ensued. The two children-were also brought in to their father. He claspedthem to his beating heart, end all the miseries of the past were forgotten in the pleasure of that moment. This is a true story The actors in this life panorama, covering a period of ten years, are all alive. The husband seems as well as he ever did, and is now in business in this city.—Cincin nati Times.

A considerable number of persons prefer the raspberry to the strawberry. Each makes a delicious wine. Rain or shine, every room in the house should have daily change of air. If this does not prevent moths from beginning work, other measures must be taken. If you fear that they are at the edge of the carpet, it will some times suffice to lay a cloth, and x>ress a hot flatiron over it, but the best way is to take the carpet up and give a good deal of attention to the floor. Look in the cracks, and if you discov er signs of moths, wash the floor with benzine, and scatter red pepper on it before putting the carpet lining down. Tomato Wine, is very delightful to the taste and exhilerates without producing intoxication. Those who have never tried it will be astonished to find it so delicious.—The prepara tion is very simple. Take any quan tity of ripe tomatoes, press and strain them through a tolerable fine cloth that the liquor may be as clear as pos sible. Then add half a pint of good brown sugar to each quart of the juice. Put in bottles, or jugs, and as soon as it ferments it will be ready for use. Thus a delightful light wine mav be made in a few days, at a cost of about 20 cents a gallon, if the to matoes are grown at home, and not bought. A gallon will afford 16 half pints, so that one may enjoy a good glass Q a pint.) of wine at a small fraction .over a cent a glass.—It is very wholesome withal, beingfree from any* deleterious ingredients. When using butter-milk for griddle cakes, dilute it a third with cold water if you v. T ould not have your cakes “stick.” Ouster Croquettes.—Half a pint of raw oysters, half a pint of cooked veal, one heaping tablespoonful of butter, three tablespooufuls of cracker crumbs, the yelks of two eggs, oue tablespoonful of onion juice. Chop the oysters and veal Very fine. Soak the crackers in oyster liquor, and then mix all the ingredients, and shape. Dip in egg and roll in cracker crumbs and fry as usual. The butter should be softened before the mix ing. Saved Sis Life Mr. D. L.
