This recipe as his cook gave it to nie: 1J codec cups of light bread dough; '2 ditto of white sugar; J teacup of butter; !1 eggs; teaspoon of soda; a teacup of stoned rai-ins.

The quinces may be halved or-qunrtcreil. To Pkeservu Pkaks. Tako pears not quite ripe and peel oil' tho skin. Prepare a sirup with three-quarters of a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Melt it and boil for half an hour.remnV" ing all the scum that rises. Put in the pears and let them boil for ten minutes, orjiist long enough to soften a little; then tako out and cover tightly with paper wet in whisky or alcohol, and cover with another paper placed over the mouth ol tnejar. Picklkii Onions. Choo-o small button onions as nearly the same size ui possible, peel them and pour over them strong, boiling hot brine ; cover them closely, and next day drain them trom the brine; wipe them dry and put them into cold vinegar, with whole pepper, bruised ginger root, blades of mace anu suceu iiorsu-ramsu. rvee'p them covered with vinegar, close the jar tightly, and set in a cool, dry place. Lkmon Syiilt. Tako twelve lem ons, .squeeze tho juice from them, grate tho rind of six into It, and let it htand all night. Then take six pounds of white sugar, make a thick syrup of jt ; when it is cool strain the juice and as much oil from tho grated rind as will suit the taste. A tablespoonful in a glass of water makes a good drink. PmKitviNO and Kkkpinc. Toma tok. Mrs. Iloma "W. Woods, in the II wtmi Farm Journal, says: "The first and most important thing to remember is this: that all fruits that mature quickly, as rapidly decay; they simply reach perfection, and at onco lie gin to die, and when decay has once commenced, it cannot be permanently arretted. So I use under-ripe rather than over-ripe tomatoes. It they are free from soil or other dirt, they will not need washing before scalding. As you take the skin from each, slice it twice, and drop into your porcelain kettle. When nearly full, pin a piece of mosquito netting over it, and put the kettle over the lire; stir frequently with a silver spoon or hard wood pad dle, and when you are sure that tho ma-s has all boiled, dip it out into your gla-3 can-, which should be standing on -everal thicknesses of cloth, folded smooth, which has been wet in cold water; pour the hot water out of the cans, and fill nearly full. Leave them on the cloth and open, until you can hold your hand upon the side of the can-. Put on the rubbers, till one can full of boilinc water, or boiling toinutn juice, aud put the porcelain lined ton on, and screw it tight; and so ou until vourcans are soaleci. wipe eacn can thoroughly tlr-t with a damp eloth,then with a dry cloth, and put them in a dark place until tho next day. If thev are perfectly dry you may put them away in a dark cool place, and in win ter keep gla-s cans where they will not freeze. In preparing for the table (do not u.-e iron or anything with the tin worn off to cook tiicm in), season with salt, pep per, butter and white sugar; and when they boil ip once, remove from tho lire unit dish them: too long boiling ex tracts the bitter principle ill tilO seeds binding in tin will make them dark, .mil bitter.

Tall, slendtir, long lcBRod aud comparathely liilit hores are not sought by railroad companies and by others mho ciliploy a grt-nt many horsps. a writer in the Live Stock Journal states that there arobovural lulu II ins of trotters, notably the l'.Uuheiia and the Mambrinn Clilcl'-. and tn.itiy thorouKhbreds', that, Judged olcly by ,thblr height, ara blir ettouuh to come unto tbe poiuirally accepted etandard; but the ptov.iillng tetideucy In the couformitiott of these hoes of 1'ioui sixteen to woutcen hinds! iu holuht 1 not inst what is ueiwrully r,KHrdtd as dwirnble hi the neutral purposn ly0to They KrH too i,,,,,, ,or tUflr wejKht. thoro ,, too ,,.,, d j, llt undBr lhcm lb . ... , , , . ,,j not "blccky" and compact and Bolld enoitRh for the enorul purpoGo liorw, as ordlucrlly doQupd. The popular idea iccius to rcipiire, In the neneral purpose horse, the general character istics of the Morgan, Increased in Height by about fifty per cent., with Its preseut propor tion of hslght to weight unchanged. Few of the sixteen and soronteen baud Ihordngh brods or trotters that we have seen approxi mate this conformation. Tboy cunm more nearly up to the accepted standard of tho cArrlngo and coach hor&e; they are tall, high headed , rangy and styltah euouah, but they ure dellclent in thai lbim which Is v, ell ex pressed In tho use ol tho term "blooky," and which, more than any other, Is desired Iu the Keneral purpose hnran. This confor inatton jirovalls so generally among our "hie;" thorouRhbreds and trotters, that it ap pear& to in an uncuiUiu business to attempt to produce the gonernl puroo&e horse from nt onosou irom among tuem auu tne com mon maies ot'our country. Iu the hands of a c&rolul, intelligent breoder, by Judicious selection otboth she and dam, good resHlts may bo obtained, nnrt uUimately, by selco tion.tliu dcslted form and sire may bo pro duced v.ith lomo dfgreo of uniformity; but, In a large majority of cases, experience has shown that the produce from such siren mid dams falls ver3' much below the desired iveight and form. It is evident, thoreloro, that the breeding of the general purpose horse by this process must, tor a long time to come, bo an uncer tain business, if the si9 and foim heretofore alluded to lie accepted iw the tiuestandnrd. Tho Important object to be sained appears to be an increase of weight. As be lore lvrrurk ed, many of our thorough breds and trotters are high enough; but lo say tha;n horse is sixteen and one-half hamls and a man is six leet gives but ft very Imperfect Idea of his actual st79. His out of this general fetillng that an increase nu'mly in n fight is duslreil that has grown the pnvctioo-of piiblNhltij,th weight of stallions p.dverllsed for sale a practice that has been ridiculed by proles sional horsemen, bat which, in spite of tho ridicule, Is constantly growing In favor, be cause RgUtsH much better iden of the. siro of tbe horse than tbe simple statemeut that he is so many hands high; and the general compliance with this custom is proof that the desire forgtmeral increased weight in our horses Is widespread. ,V. 1. lltruM, Draft Horses and Trotters. Regular labor, tieer exoe'she, nor inter fering with systematic lewllng, gives health and vigor to the mates, mi that they may have a fonl every jer, and the tarranr loso only a few weeks work. The foals, If well fed, and nimletately pushed by fending crushed or ground oats, with perhaps a little corn mel, or oat and corn ground toge'.her. the oats being largely In excess of th corn, will make rapid growth, and be available tor light labor at two to two and a half jears old. This is i-articularly true of Kirnch horses. At IIHh early age many are soli, particularly eolu, and worked lor a year or two chielly upon "irtick" farms, and beet sugar larms, or whern there is a great deal of light work, and .where few rr no hori.es are bred. Meanwhile, being led very well and gently handled, ohielly by women, they develop enormous I rallies and excellent dis position", and as soon a-s thoy bwoiac too boay for Die work needed of them, anil at tho uarnn time marketable, they are turned nil at a large advance aboo their cost, and, i,aing rain their way by their labor, they ar thus the t-outeo of it hnndnorun proili at a period of life when other Hfn-ses of hoiea ' . . .,.,... horses are of no c-xrion-e to their breeders after tl.ey are two years old, If they inny not be proiliably sold at liMt , settlts almoct tho question, "which !m tho most prolltable t.us of horses mraUeV' , The Orloffs of RrjMla. - a recent traveler dtsiTilien them ns driwn iti rill4rts, nfien between tw running mate, M , he lop ol Iheir spe rt , fcr mile"., snd rare ly or never breaking their square ou'ck Irot, Thoroughbrtxlhor.es, Kngllsh hunters or ArabiunK, are used lor their mates, and we caujude vtry well that there must be, sje(l obtained which would Ix, J'ldgwi re apeciablo oven nn oar nahIonhIb trotting courses.

The report of recent sales of shorthorns as published in this paper, show pretty eourlu slvely that "the bottom Is dropping out of bleeding fancy animals of thishreod otc.ittlo for profit. It is not likely that n Shorthorn will ev or be sold i'r $.7 ,000 in this country again, or that a cow that has seen bor test days will bring f-10,000 at an auction sale. Kven tbnrthorn breeders are re.'0 ering from their mania and are beginning tu talk like rational persons. There has been more humbug about Ihe Shorthorn business than in any thing iu which farmers were evor engaged. There was never a domestic animal ol any kind wotth frlu'.fJOO lor any purpose, nnd it's not likely that there ever will boone. I'.venfl, 000 is a very large price to pi3' for an ani mal which can only be used for food. Still many farmers have boon persuaded into in vesting in a hoifer, expecting to dotibloaheir money w ith every calf raised irom her. Tho Shorthorn is mi excellent animal for beef, Inasmuch as It matures quickly, whllo Its tlesh is of good quality and bona small proportion ol vvasto. That Is the most and the best that can be said ol tills breed of cat tle. In England, tbe land of roa-t hoof epi cures, tho Shorthorn is not generally regard ed n t)ie uuimal which furnishes the most dolkimr- meal, but tho preference Is given to tbe Hen lords and tho Highland cattle, This Is -hi, case, notwithstanding tho great ruinli ir of persons who aro interested iu ex tnP' (.

An a rulo tbe smallest Jor-oy -v.ll prod nee more butter during the yt.ir Ji;.ti tho largost Hhorlhorn, while it will br.ng double tho price per pound. Too Shorthorn has been bred both In this country and in Great Hrllain almost entirely with, a view of developing sire, symmetry and early maturity. Tho animals have been pampered till they have no hardihood, and need to te tended like sick babies. Many ofthe fashionable families of Shorthorns produce a smaller number of offspring than fitshionablo famlllem of human beings. In fcomeinstaue.es their numbers have dimin- l.il.ed rather than Incijfsasetl during a lerm of yeiirs. If a cow Happened lo nave a ran I lie evont was noticed In all the paters, and Ihe young child was Immediately put nut to wet niir-ii for tho reason that the lumber did not give milk enough fo support lis lite. Gen erally Its period of maturity would tie in an Invcise proportion to the length and purity of its pedigree. Promising Shnitborna, like tno i hlldien described In Sunday school look', and like those tho gods lovn, die young, l.lkn every kind nf business not atrlctly le gitimate there ha beon a good deal of fraud In lt management.

Poland China Hoos. Tho characteris tics which have made this breed of hogs so popular aro set forth by an Ohio breeder as follows: 1. They do not get mangy. I never had one that was troubled this way; and this is something of so much Importance that it should uot be overlooked by any farmer who knows anything of the evil. J. This breed is excellent on account of its early fattening qualities. And yet for its continued growth it has no equal. When only nine or ten months old It will readily fatten into olear pork, weighing 300 pounds of 'his breed will mako more galu and thrive better on grass slouo than those of any oth or breed. I. Thev are nitmally quiet at all times, unle's a cinunry spirit is sllrrod up by abuse. They fatten well, eating tbelr fill aud then lying eluvtii. The sows are good and prolific breeders, kind In litter, and good siicklers, A. I claim that the Poland-China is the hog for the packer, because of the propoi tion of weight behind the shoulders and the amount of high priced meat it carries, and a correspondingly eniBll amount of otl'al pro duced. It has a small bead and small feet. ti. It is the breed we can do tho most with between April and Jaminry. I claim that pigs snould come when grass In tho spring begins to grow, so that they can be fattened without huting to winter thorn. Or, If wo deem It good policy ,to hold them bver, wo want them to keep on growing tho second summer with tho least cost. Tho l'olAntl.fhluu Is small bonod and long bodied. It has short legs aud a broad, straight back; it has deep sides, with square heavy hums aud shoulders; It has drooping ears aud tluei hair, tu color nearly always spotted black. Ciuiuuo, Aug. -8. Tbe Washington Monument Society which, under a charier Irom Congress now holds possession of tho unfinished shall here aud everything relat ing thereto, had a mooting to-day lo consider tho Congressional appropriation of $200,000 and tho provisions linpood. The Society decided to give a translor deod to tho govern - iniiiit, lelinquisuliit; possession of ttio monu ment and Its surroundings. Thoy signed a document to that end addressed to tho American people to bo issued in a few days, callltigou them to aid the government by continuing their subscription to tho monu ment, thus sharing tho honor of finishing the work. I'lio officers of tho Society ay ihero was great hope that Iho Masons, Odd fellows and other socloties would aid materially the work, and think much will be done by them. The monument has thus far cost it0,iK)0 and Is only about one-third doiio. Tho society has now over $10,000, and a quantity of material, memorial stores, eto. As soon as tho transfer Is effected I borough examinations will be mado of tbe foundations of tho structure by a board of enirlneers, and the work will be Immediately resumed.
