Cheap and Go 4 Food for Cos WO*
A cor respondent of tke Hernando
(M hs.) Pres? write*: At tho request
of my friend# from tho country I giv©
yoa for publication my mode of keep*
ing fat cows on cheap food, having for
yeirs kept fatter cows and had more
milk anti butter, and for less money
than anybody I know of.
First, sow peas broadcast from threo
pecks to a bushel in May,harrowing them
in after breaking the-ground well, then*
iu September I pull tneui up when a
fcw begin- to dry and make hay out of
the vines and peas. I get 5,000- to G,-
000 pounds per acre of hay, which is
eaten by tho cattle and horses as eagerly
as if it were the best of ©lover. Pulling
up is preferable to mowing rt eattle seein
to love th roots better than the tops,
and they are said to be more nutritious.
No manuring is necessary and one
acre sowed in peas is worth six in fod’
Jer.
Second Cooked cotton seed—l
set two large stock kettles in a brick
furnace, (furnace costing $3 ors 4) and
with ten cents worth of wood, the ket
tles being covered when boding, I cook
500 pounds of cotton seed at a time, to
which I add after cooking one bushel
of wheat bran to two of boiled seed and
the year round I feed my milk cows on
it twice n day cheaper than nnybody
can feed them otherwise, and for years
I havo had the fattest cows and the
most milk and butter of anybody about
here, I always add a little salt to prevent
scours.
Feather Work. —Save feathers
from all the birds as they are brought
iu by husband, brother or friend. Cut
a circle of card or pastebi ard.liivng the
underside with paper or anything that
pleases the fancy ; then with a little
thick paste oommence the outer edgo
with the white downy feathers of the j
goo-*e, duck or turkey, touch the little '
quill end of the feather into the paste j
and arrnge one after the other round j
the circle. Having and ne this commence ,
with tho others, lapping ring after ring
until it is finished in thj centre with a
few of the outer feathers. L made a
lamp mat of black and red bird feathers
with tho star formed of red leathers fills
ed with black which contrasted beauti
fully with its outer rim of downy white.
I made another of the breast and neck
leathers of the peacock its chaugable hue
puzzled every one who saw it, even those
whu h?d reared hundreds of that gaudv
few 1.
Wanted. —A wife who ean handle a
broom to brush, down "the cobwebs and j
sweep up her room :
Gan u ake decent bread that a fellow
can eat,
Not the hopfiWe compound you cvevy
where meet :
Who knows how to boil, to fry, and
to roast,
Make a good cup of tea, and a platter
of toast: *
A woman that washes, and irons and
stitohes,
Aad sews up the rij 8 in a fellow*# old
clothes,
And makes her owa> garment#— an
item to which is
So horrid expensive as every 01 a
knows; a oommon-sonso creature and
still with a mind
T ■ teach and to guide—exalted rofin*
o 1;
A sort of an angel and- a maid col I
binod.
-
To Can Strawberries. —Put the
fruit in the preserving kettle and if very
dry add a littlo water to prevent
burning. Boil about three minutes
or just long enough to be sure the whole
mass is thoroughly heated —not cooked,
Bip into cans filing them completely
Heal quickly, and set in a cool place. —
(ilass jars containing fruit should be
kopt in a dark place or covered with a
dark-c dorod paper. Open and add su*
gar tw ;nty-four hour before using.
People are so accustomed to give
drugs and medicines lor every ailment
that they suppose these perform the cure.
Medicines are useful in their proper
place when properly administered but
the same conditions which will keep an
animal healthy should the sick a recov* j
ed. If these conditions w< re better ,
understood, and more thoroughly atten- j
ded to, there would be less need of med* ,
iciues and medical treatment.
■ ■ --
A soap boiler who does an extensive
business states that as a gcneial rule a
cord of wood makes a bushel of ashes —
and this applies to all kinds of wood hard
and soft, and burned by hundreds of
families where he gathered ashes.—
Solid hard wood would average a littlo
higher.
Domestic Yeast. —Boil one pound
of sugar and a liltlc salt, in two gallons
of water for one hour. When milk
warm, bottle it and cork it close. It
will be fit for use in twenty hours. Ono
pint of this veast will bake 19 pound*
of bread
Worms in Dried Fbuit. —When it
is stor and after drying, put between eve-,
ry half bushel of it a large handful of
b k and sa.-snfras and strew a liberty
supplyon top. We will insure that the
orms will not trouble it..
Better a light purse than a heavy con*
tcicnce.
THE NEW FAMILY
SINGER
Sewing machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
nr Alt M4nm f Wwh.
Is fast winning favor in the household, a
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is cap*
bio of a range and variety of work suoh a
was once thon-ght impossible to perform
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapo t, most beautiful, delicately
arrange*!, nicely Adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the vaiiety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equal facility and perfettitn, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter-elastic lode stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or. leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch,
and, in a moment, tl ; .s willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been t he po >ular and
practical machines for manuf: ctu ing pur
poses, some dealers, using •• tho tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that o- t F unily Ma
chine is not equal, for fumilv eew ag to our
Manufacturing Machines for man lfacturing
purposes. But purchasers—arid they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family jr.acliine embod
ies new and sent hi 1 principles—simplicity
of eonstru tio '; ease of operation ; uni
formity of pre ise uction at any speed : ca
pacity for tauje and variety of work, line
or coare. leaving all rivals behind it.
Sewi: gU ichine Sales 0f 1674.
