As the blackberry season is at liand ve furnish a simple receipt lor making the wine that is as goou as complicated ones requiring so many strainings and such a variety of and so much time in filling up the cask or jug dur iug the process of fermentation. First the berries should be ripe gud fresh. Then to every gallon, well bruised, add one quart of boiling water Let the mixture stand for 25 hours sirring occasionally; then strain oft iuto a clean cask, according to the quantity, adding, two lbs of good brown sugar to each gallon of the liquor. Cork tight immediately, and let in stand until October and the wine will be perfectly delicious. The macc, nutmeg, cloves, white of eggs, and other things so ol'tcu recommended, aro totally unnec essary, aud the wiue by simple pros cess is tho best. If the maker of the wine is too impa tient to wait until October, have a jug set aside to begin on in a month, but it will be found that the October jug, will make the lips smack, the most. — The best wine is going out They are sweeter and the temperature is low er. BLACKBERRY JAM. The fruit should be ripe and gather ed in dry weather. Use half a pound j of good brown sugar to each pound of! berries Boil gently for one hour, stir- ! ring and mashing them well. This jam is. useful in families, partrcularly lor children' It is better to spread on bread than butter, uni, is cheaper when the berries have to he bought. In the country where they cost nothing every family should-preserve a large quantity for fail arid winter use. Hogs Need Sulphur.—Whether hogs require sulphur as an essontial to health, or whether it is sought by them as a condiment, may be discovered.— But one thing is true they devour it with greed whenener it is found. It is for this purpose, probably, that they oau eat large quantities of soft coal, whice contains a large amount uf sul phur. Perhaps this is the most econo mical method of supplying hogs with sulphur during the wiutcr, when they re quire a great deal of carbon, but in summer it is best to be fed to them in substances, which contain less carbon on account of their producing less heat. .Mustard is one of the best things for this purpose, and some of it should be sown iu every pasture into which hogs arc turned. If hogs are kept in nsmal yard it is well to supply then with the wild mustard that grows in the iiclds or highways, or to cultivate some of the better varieties for them. They will eat its leaves, its flayers, seeps uud stalks Many ladies are puzzled how to get the detcsublc worm3 that will infest the earth in their flower-pots. The following receipt, which we find in an exchange is recommended to destroy the pest: “ But an ounce of ammonia into a gallon of warm water, aud water tho plants with it once a week ; they will be free from these worms, and be beautiful and greeu. To kill the little bu£R that get on - the oleander take a piece of lime the size of a hen’s egg, sod dissolve it in about two quarts of water, and wash the stalk and branch* cs of the tree and they will soon disap pear. A writer ol the llural New Yorker says: Set a tomato pllint into each hill of cu cumbers, melons and squashes and you will have no trouble from the striped bugs that are so destructive to those plants. The plants can bo lied to stakes and if well pruned when largo both, ob jects cau proceol without durit incut to one another. The young ladies fool tho hard times down east. We have it from a New Banish ira beauty who claims that the the gentlemen are really so poor that - they cuuuot evou pay their address es. By placing a piece of camphor, above the size of a hickory nut, in the stout blacking, the Making 1 will thus adhere through the heat. Cheap stcitniotight oeuicnt can be made by a mixture of rye Hour and linseed oil, with an equal nation of chalk. A raw egg, mixed with a little sugar taken every morning before breakfast is declared to be an infallible cure lor dys pepsia. To clean straw malting, put a pint of salt in a pail of warm water and give the mating a thorough washing. Shallow plowing operates to ini— p iverish the soil, while decreasing pro uuctions.
