I A Wholesome Dish.
' Take half a pound of beef liver, wash
clean and salt; then take two good slices
of bacon, put in your sauce pan, let
them fry until half done, then slice
the liver thin and put in with the ba
con, and add a common size onion, and
pepper to suit the taste. Let it cook
for ten minutes, stirring or turning
once or twice, then pour in a pint of
water, and let the whole cook for a half
an hour, and you will have a very tempt
ing and economical dish. A few min
utes before taking off. take a teaspoon
ful of flour and make a batter and stir
in the stew.
Kiss Pudding;.
Four eggs, four tablespoonfuls corn
starch, one cup of sugar, four cups of
sweet milk. Let the milk boil, beat the
yolks of the eggs, sugar and starch to
gether, adding half a cup of sweet milk,
then stir the whole in the boiling milk,
letting it boil three minutes; pour it
into a deep dish, flavor with lemon,
and when cold, beat the whites of the
eggs with two spoonfuls white sugar, to
a stiff froth, and spread over the pud
ding, and brown in the oven to be
eaten with and sugar; this should be stiff
enough to be cut with a spoon.

A Baked Flour Pudding,
Two teacups sifted flour, one of light
brown sugar, one egg, one tablespoon
ful of butter, one teacup of sweet milk,
a desert spoon of yeast powder, and
flavor with lemon; cream the butter,
sugar and eggs together, stir the
yeast powder in the flour, add alter
nately the flour and milk, until all are
mixed; bake in a quick oven and eat

Scolloped Oyster*.
Butter a deep earthen dish, put in a
layer of rolled crackers, butter, pepper
and salt, then a layer of oysters.
Repeat this until all the oysters are in;
let the crackers come last, with slices of
butter. Pour over the oyster-liquor
with half cup of water. Bake twenty
minutes ; if too dry add a little boiling
water.
Lime and It* Use.
The Monthly Report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture contains the fol
lowing from the pen of the Comis
sioner.
It is now universally conceded that
in every quality of soil the use of lime
greatly conduces to its fertility by cov
erting its component parts into the
elements which give strength and bright
ness to straw, and food to the plant.
As to the time, place and circum
stance in which lime may be profitably
used, the directions are simple and easy.
In its use, the farmer has this advan
tage—that it may be spread upon the
land at any tiiu or season, provided it
is spread, and not suffered to be in
heaps after it shall have been slacked.
It loses nothing by exposure, and soon
finds its place commingled with the
soil. Whether the land be broken up
or in sod, is of no importance; but the
circumstance as to quality bring into
consideration this principle, that the
more may be used in proportion to the
fertility of the soil. While upon a good
limestone clay, 250 bushels to the acre
might be used with impunity. 100 bush
els upon a thin slate or sandy soil, void
of vegetable matter, would do more
harm than good. Just in proportion
to the vegetable substance which is in
the land, may the quantity of lime be
increased. In slate or sandy land,
which has been subjected to the
ordinary cultivation of a farm in
which there is the usual amount of
vegetation, or where the farmer can
precede the spread of lime with a coat
of barn-yard manure, 00 bushels to the
acre is a proper quantity, and if this be
applied m two successive seasons it will
be better. Upon limestone land which
has undergone like cultivation, double
the quantity may be used.
The property of lime is to convert
vegetable substance into plant-food,
and mineral substance into the com
ponent parts of straw ; so that, while it
prepares t’oo 1 to inureas ■ the quantity
and quality of the grain, it furnishes a
i right and strong straw to conduct
that food to the making of grain, ami
support its weight. A prejudice once
1 exist d .igaii>t the of lime, under
the idea that it heated the land, and
, therefore subjected the plant the more
to the influence of the hot sun. As to
z th- 1 condition of the land when lime is
I used, one other remark must be made.
It should never be put upon the land
•*** THE GEORGIA
on which water habitually lies; until
the same be thoroughly drained. And
here, in reference to the prevalent idea
that lime will dry up wet laud, it may
be said that it will have no such effect,
but on the contrary, will destroy the
character of such land for any purpose.
Standing wate, lime and sand, will
make a substance adapted to the
builder’s purpose, but does not make a
fertile soil.
A Bushel of Corn.
One bushel of corn will make a little
over 1| pounds of pork, gross.
When corn cost 13| cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 17 cents per bushel
pork costs 2 cents per pound.
When corn costs 25 cents per bushel,
pork costs 3 cents per pound.
When corn costs 33 cents per bushel,
pork costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs 50cents 'per bushel,
pork costs 5 cents per pound.
The following statements show what
the farmer realizes on his corn when in
the form of pork :
When pork sells for 3 cents per
pound, it brings 32 cents per bushel in
corn.
When pork sells for 4 cents per
pound, it brings 42 cents per bushel in
corn.
When pork sells for 5 cents per
pound, it brings 52 | cents per bushel
in corn.
Farmers and Newspapers.
We have been frequently surprised,
says the Louisville Ledger, to see how
many farmers, well to do in worldly
riches, neglect or refuse to take some
good newspaper for himself and family.
They seem to think that they have no
interest in the affairs of the outside
world; that they have to deal with
nothing except the land they plow or
the stock they feed, and the children
they are rearing in ignorance. They
forget that they are a part of the great
human family, placed upon this orb to
work out the plans of the good and
wise Creator, and as such have no right
to dam up the great stream of pro
gress.
The laws of progression are as un
alterable as are any others in nature,
and that man who impedes those laws
with an offspring children, unedu
cated and besotted with ignorance—
commits a sin which reacts not only on
himself, but on his descendants for long
years in the future.
Newspapers are made to spread in
telligence and improve the morals of
mankind. To the farmer, above all
men, they should be a necessity, from
the very fact that they afford him in
his isolated condition the only means
of mixing in the busy scenes of life.
Man in a hermit state becomes a per
sonification of selfishness caring for
nobody and nobody earing for him.
Development comes alone from asso
ciating with ourselves the advancement
which they make.
No farmer should do without this
social schooling, both for his own good
and that of his children; and Jin no
way can obtain it so fully ami cheaply
as through the newspapers and period
ical literature of the day ; and he who
neglects to receive these advantages,
deprives himself of light, and lives out
his days in worse than heathen dark
ness.
Clover Potatoes.— “ Coleman's
Rural World" condenses an article con
tributed by a Texas farmer to the
.Southern Cultivator, ami gets out of it
that elover in Texas makes the grandest
forage crop known at the South, and is
making a great revolution in stock
growing. It yields more than any
grass or forage crop, stands both cold
and draught, is capital for winter pas
turage, requires but one planting to be
perpetual with a top-dressing of man
ure. The ame writer says he raises
large crops of Irish potatoes of good
quality every season, without sending
North for his seed. He has planted
Goodrich and Russet potatoes for six
years. On a Ik'd of fine straw thev will
keep well through the winter. He
plants in drills three feet apart, cover
-1 ing the tubers in the row with barnvard
manure.
►
An Irishman was speakim l ’ t
eellence of a telescope. ”Do you >ee
that wee speck on the t of th ■ bid
yonder? That, now, is my oi-.l pig,
though hardly to be seen; but when I
look at him with my glass, it brings
him so near that I can plainlv hear him
grunt."
_
A little buy heard his mother tell t eighteen
aead of cattle being burnt, the • ’.her nisiht
Weren’t their tails burnt also he inquired
“ My dear,” said a husband to his better
half, after a quarrel, “ you will never be per
mitted to go to lieaven.”
“ Why not ?”
“ Because you will be wanted as a torment
down below.”

P. C. Sawyer, F.sg.
Dear Sir, —When you sent me tlie fifty-saw Gin, you
requested me, when I tried her, to let you know bow
I am pleased with her, and, according to your request,
I will do so. Yesterday afternoon I timed her. I
ginned one hour ami thirty minutes on a pile of cot
ton which was too damp to be in real good order. I
then packed the cotton, putting 7’k yards of bagging
on the bale. I then weighed it, and it weighed 514
jtounds. Ido not hcsit .te to say that she is the fast
est, and picks as clean as any, Gin that I ever saw gin
ning. I would not change her for no fifty-saw Gin ol
any other make, Magnolia Gin not excepted.
Yours respectfully, H. EASTEKSIN.
P B.—l weighed seed cotton for one other bale, the
first one I ginned on your Gin, last Monday afternoon,
ami it turned out fourteen pounds over one-third—
bale weighing 467 pounds.
Athens, Ala., April 20, 1874.
Mr. P. C. Sawyerl am very well pleased with the
fifty-saw Cotton Gin I bought of you last Summer. It
does all you said it would do, and does it well. It gins
fast, picks clean, makes a good sample, and, with the
adjustable breast, never chokes. I never expect to
use any other. Yours truly, J. R. BATTLE.
