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.

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.
