OMeken Pie.— Select two plnmp fowls. They need not be young. Cut them in pieces as for fricasse. Put them In the saucepan with enough cold water to cover them, and stew gently until tender. They should not be cooked so long that the meat will fall from the bones. Arrange the pieces in the baking-dish, and add to the gravy left in the pot two taUespoonfuli of butter rubbed smooth with one tableapoonful of cornstarch. MU in very thoroughly, adding at the same time a bunch of chopped parsley, half an onion minoed as fine as possible, and pepper and salt to taste. Simmer Cover all with a crust msde by direction* given below, and bake in a steady oven to a good brown. Just before taking it from the oven brush over the top with the yelk of an egg. Let it stand in the closed oven two minute* longer bcHoast Turkey.— After drawing the turkey rinse out with several Waters, and in next to the last mix a teaspoonful of tod*. The inside of a fowl, especially If purchased in the market, is sometime* very' tour, and impart* an unpleasant taste to the stuffing. The soda will act ai a corrective, and is moreover very deeming. Fill the body with this water, shake well, empty it out and rinse with clear water. Prepare a forcemeat of bread, chopped and seasoned with moisten with warm water or milk; stuff the craw with this, and tie a string tightly about the neck to prevent the escape of the stuffing; then fill the tody of the turkey and tew it up with strong thread; this and the neck -string are to be removed when the fowl is dished; roast twenty minutes to a pound.

' FARM. ily entail idleness on the farm. Much ' valuable work may be done In winter, 1 and by a proper and judicious division I of farm duties the hurried lstor of spring < may be somewhat avoided.' One great < source of lota in winter Is allowing the < shocks of corn. in the fields to.be Injured 1 by the weather, aawell as affording bar- I boring places for mice and vermin, In- I ' stead of hauling the same to the barn, ' ! there to remove ears of corn, and husk- I ! lug them, Bnder shelter, by which means \ ■ the fodder will be brighter and beticr, 1 whUo every portion of the stalk may be < 1 conveniently madh of some valuo. The ' straw stacks should also be carried to * ' the barn; tbert, along with the corn I stalks, passed through the fodder culler, t to be reduced into very short lengths, - and either fed to stock ar used as bedI ding. This may cost something for ' labor, but when Ills considered that urn - tjjfi ployed help costs as much as that ' which can be put to service, the real • value of Uie labor is but very little. I Every ounce of food; saved by. careful ; preparation it a clear gain, and the wint ter work in that respect is but a contin- , nation of that left over from the fall, i The manure heap is another winter work ! shop, as It is the most important mater- . lal on the farm, No matter how cold the weather may be, there are certain ' time# when the materials of the manure I heap require turning over, not only to , prevent overheating, but to throw the : they may, in torr, be reduced to a fine I condition. Without entering into the i details of the necessary repairs required i for the farm 'buildings and fences, and ■ for the Inspection of the machinery and I implements, the fattening of stock is a winter occupation, the woik of which r should be done completely befoiespring i in order to be in rralilncas for the plow ; when the fsoat shall be out of the ground, i Farming is an all-year-round business, and permits of no kite lime, if rightly managed, as it includes the growing of \ crept during favorable seasons, to be . manufactured on the farm Into milk, , butter and meat during the .periods when but little can be done in other re- . specta, for winter can really be msde a busy season if the termer shall to desire. — Retord. ! Road dust is a perfect dcodorixer and , absorbent,;and costs nothing beyond the labor of getting It and hauling a load of ' earth into the road to "replace what is taken away. If you have not already secured ateupply for winter use In the j poultry-house it Is high time for you to j do so. Keep a barrel of it in one cor- , nor of the ipoultfy-bonae, strew some ^ under the perches every morning, and " there will be no offensive odor from the ' droppings. When the dropping, are thus covered every morning it will not [j be necessary to remove tbcm oftener than once a week in cold weather. J.U. Thomas says that land owners who are preparing to plant peach or- • chard, next spring may profitably mskr '• provisions during the present winter by ' preparing the soli for mellow culture, and by avoiding the mistake which tome make of setting the trees in tod. The !j difference between the two modes will " be plain enough after they shall have 5 become bearing tree*— the one will give ^ large brilliant, rich, high -flavored " small, badly ripened specimens, and of h second quality in flavor. Corn it not a perfect food for a bog. Though rich in those elements that tend ®" to fatten, yet corn It deficient in the bone K: and muscle making elemenls to a ccr>e tain extent A mixed diet It best. '■ In order to secure good specimens the the fruit of all pear tree* should be thlnJ ned so that no two pear* will touch one d another. Pears should be picked tofore maturity or their beat flavor will be B" lost. The beauty and quality of pears, *' more than other fruits, is affected by J' the manner of ripening. If placed In * clow dark drawers, with a thick woolen elotb above and beneath, a bright golden hue will be secured iu most '• cases. The warmer the room the more "■ rapidly will they ripen. So to keep them "1 kRp them cold.

Their nest boxes should ** be oDed with It as a preventive of vcr,r mln. A few drops occasionally in the '• drinking water will binder cold* sr roup, " and when applied to scaly legs it effecU rt a cure, while it ia'.bighly recommended "as a cure for colera. a y The cranberry is quite as uncertain ts any other fruit crop, says a writer, r, Only tboee who have farms under com- >. plete contraband epuipment can depend b upon a paying crop every year. It costs i- money to lay out a farm properly. It is ir ess than thirty years since the culture d of the cranberry was begun, l; A Virginia farmer, who has beer, ex. peri men ting with sorghum at a fodder h crop for oows and feeding hogs, Anils , that cattle eat it with a relish, especially . when sown so thickly that the stalks are * not larger than a man's finger, and that hogs are not only fond of It but grow 1 finely on it. e What Am I To Do? i The symptoms of Biliousness are unhappily but too well known.

Few men come up to their highest measure of success. Borne fail through _ timidity, or lack of nerve.

Others fail through Imprudence, lack of discretion, care or sound judgment. sir castles, and venture beyond their depth, and fail and fall. Others, again, fail through the lack of application and perseverance. Tbey begin with i good resolves, but soon gst tired, of that, and want a change, thinking tbey i can do much totter at something else. Thus they fritter life away, and succeed i at nothing.
