' 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 with butter sauce. 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.” A.

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.
