Coloring Clieene.The preference for colored cheese is

one of the strangest commercial infatuations we aie acquainted with.

people, shrewd as foxes inthings generally, .have a notion thatplain cheese is not genuine for somereason or other, that it is not so rich asthe other, whereas it is really the coloredcheese that is not genuine that is,actually adulterated with annatto toproduce the deep tint which they un-

wisely prefer. If these good peoplewere to tasto just a teaspoonful ofannatto, such as is used to color cheesewith, we venture tjredict they wouldeschew colored cheese for the future.However, this fallacy is gradually beingextinguished. London AyricuWl Gazette.

KaruilneWhat would you think of the cabinet

maker who should undertake to makefurniture on a large stale by mean3 thatwere used eighty years ago, sawing outaiL the parts by hand, instead of bymachinery, carving bedsteads and bu-

reaus by hand instead of molding thesaw-dus- t, and all such thing? Howwould a tinner get along with the ed

tools, disregarding tlie use ofdiea and stamps? How would the wagon-make- r

succeed shaving spokes by hand,morticing hubs by chisel and mallet?Or, how the shoemaker, peg-

ging and sewing machine. f Well, theymight possibly make a living as theyturned out their clumsy jobs, whileothers, working by improved and bestmethods, are getting rich. The old-fashion-

farmer, with poor tools, anddisdaining book-knowledg- e, and themodern farmer, with the best of toolsand with a head full of ideas, are paral-lel cases. Micaicber.

I'uiopklns for Cow --i.From a peck ol seed droppod and

covered in the gaps of a corn field, adairy of nine cows has been kept up tosummer milking, and the quality of thebutter is super-excellen- t; and six heifercalves raised from the above are as fatas moles. The cows are fatter, too, thana majority of tlie cattle slaughtered.These cows have been "taking about sixpounds of butter per week, besides sup-

plying new milk and cream for a gentle-mau'- s

house with sixteen inmates. Thepumkins are chopped up in the mangerswith a spade, morning, noon and night,about half a bushel each time when cutinto pieces. They eat while beingmilked morning and night, and theycome to the yard and go into the stablefor half an hour at noon. Beets, car-

rots and some other roots and small canof corn will follow, so as to keep up themilk during winter. Correspondence ofCountry Gentleman.

.viie-oe-.- t inWe copy the following interesting

item from the proceedings of the Horti-

cultural Society of Western Xcw York,in the Country Gentleman.

"Mr. A. M. Purdy, of Rochester,called attention to the fact that, whilefarming might be advantageously pur-

sued in every part of the country, therewere only certain localities where fruit-

growing is attended with the best suc-

cess. It is important to select the bestplaces for raising fruit. On a farm ofhis own jcontaining 112 acres, he hadformerly been unable to raise mote than$1,200 or $1,300 worth of farm productsin . a year, but as this appeared to bespecially adapted to fruit-growin- g, hehad planted it tt large aud smallfruits, and had since sold between $5,000and $6,000 worth annually. A memberpresent read a detailed statement ot thecosts and profits of the celebrated Rath-bon- e

orchaid, containing ten acres. Thewhole expense was a little over $1,000,and the net profits since planting over$11,000.

Tne following plants are alsousually found in the greenhouse at thisseason, viz: Hyacinths, sweet violets,English primroses, mignonette, giliiflowers and wall flowers. The Jasmi-nu- m

Among the rampant growing and pro-

fuse blooming vine3 commonly trainedupoa the rafters of the greenhouse, willbe found the "Bignoma venusta, whichproduces an abun ance ot brilliantorange colored flowers throughout thewinter, and the Bassiflora which is ofrapid growth and blooms very freely.The flowers are of various shades, pur-pi- e

being the leading color. Thesetwo vines are tmoug the very best ofour greenhouse climbers.

Treamr.TD.ent of the Soil.The soil is the farmer's bank. If he

would Keep his accounts good and have

r

his drafts honored, he must take care

that his farming operations do not im-

poverish his land, for that inevita-M- v

impoverish him.There arc those account4trgood fann-

ers, because, in the main, they are rea-- -

nably successful in their management,j yet who, nevertheless, blindly pursueI methods that are futile in accomplishingdesired results. There is much workingin the dark, and sometimes a great wasteof labor. There are some things thatftre hard to be unlearned after they haveb.en long practiced with apparentlybeneficial efleats, out which really had

"f1

littlrt agency iu jjrounciij uigsu effects.A hundred years and more ago Jo thro

Tull believed and taught that, by suf-

ficient culture, the soil would producecrop-- i year after year, without manure.His theory brought disaster upon himultimately, but there was a reat lesEon

in his experience which farmers failedto apply, to wit: the value of tillage inaerating the soil. Cultivation, lrequentstirring, admits the air, and when it isrecollected that vegetable ind mineralmanures are useless until decomposedinto their original elements, and that de-

composition can only go on by the di-

rect agency of the atmosphere, the im-

portance ol the knowledge is at oncerecognized. Organic matter possesseshighly fertilizing properties, but theselie dormant and useless until decom-

posed, and rendered fit for plant food,by aeration of tl.o soil to which thismatter hr.? been applied. Pulverize thesoil and keep it mellow, for then it canbreathe freely, so to speak, and the moreproductive it will be rendered. Hereinlies the benefit of repeated 3tirnng offt;!l plowing, which insures additionalpulverization by the action of frost, in-

suring finer tilth. And hence, too, thebeneficial ellocts of draining the soil,carrying off stagnant wnter, and per-

mitting the air to take its place.We mast not lose sight of the fact

that with properly aerating the soil thecouatituciits removed from it must bereturned, and that in the Uho of manuresit is well to consider uot only what is

desired for an immediate crop, but alsothe condition in which the 301I will beleft for succeeding crops. Judiciousculture and proper rotations will insuregood crops, and at the Eanj time theland will not deteriorate in fei tility.

rsEFrij RECIPES.

Si'ET Prniirxu. Take one cup ofsuet, chopped fine; one cup ot raislnp,chopped; on -- half cup of English cur-

rants; one cup of syrup; one cup ofsour milk, two even teaspoonfulsof soda.Mix tlie suet, raisins, and currants wellinto the syrup; then add the sour milk;next, the soda, pulverized and wellmixed iu a handful of dry flour. Stiruntil it begins to loam, then add flourenough to form a stiff batter. Steamone and one-hal- f hours. For a largefamily double the quantity will be re-

quired, aud should be steamed two hours.Serve hot.

Snow Puuuino. If there should befall of snow, somo of your readers maylike to try this receipt. Where colddry, fresh-falle- n snow is usod it gives aligntn'iss to the cakes all its own; noamount of beating can rival it. Make astill batter with four ouuees of floor,one-four- th pint of milk, or more if re-

quired, a little graled nutmeg, and a

pinch of salt. Divide the batter intoany number of pan cakes, and add threelarge spoonfuls of enow to each. Frylightly in very good butter, and servequickly. ,Tho uau cakes should bo abouthalf the size of a soup plate for the in-

dicated quantity of ouow.

Charlotte Russe. First, iin yourmolds with sponge lady-finge- r; you canbuy them at any bakery, and, if fresh,are very nice and save much trouble.Pack them around the sides of the mold,which should ba about as deep as thofingers are long, so thsi thoy will keepin place firmly. Second, pour a teacupof boiling water over one-hal- f box gela-

tine and di -- solve it thoroughly and leavein a warm place until ready for it, butdon't keep it boiling, only warm. Thentake one pint of thick cream from theice, stir it until it thickens, the: pour inbriskly the gelatine, two teaspoonfuls ofvanilla, the whites of seven eggs beatento a froth, and one teacup ot powderedsugar; fill the molds to the top of thelady-finge- rs and put in a cool place.This will fill two good-size- d molds andis delicious.

Some Old Letters.

There has lately been purchased by theTrustees of the Bodleian Library, Ox- - ;

ford, England, a rather curious and in-

teresting manuscript volume. It com-

prises various letters, memorials, Ac , ofthe Fairfax family, copied into a bookby Mary Arthington, daughter of thegreat Lord Fairfax, Commander-in-Chie- f

of the Army ol the Parliament of Eng-

land during the famous civil war. Itis a shabby lookiug Tolume, in dilapi-dated calf binding, with marks of losthasps, the paper being very coarse, theink rusty, and the chirography consistingof perpendicular letters, about a quar-

ter of an inch long, much blotted. Theoontents evidently transcribed fromthe original letters, Ac, &s a

means of preserving them mainly re,late to births, deaths, sickness, and domestic transactions in the family of thePuritan General ; though there are someallusions to the "parrilui times." Thewriters are nearly all Fairfax'js, or rela-

tions to them by marriage ; as, FrancesWiddrington, Elinor Selby, DorothyHutton (daughters of the General),Charles Fairfax (his brother), ThomasWiddrington (his son-in-law- ), andFrances Legard (niece of the copyist).But the most interesting portion of thecorrespondence ia that by Lady Fairfax,the redoubtable Presbyterian and Roy-

alist dame, who accompanied her hus-

Gilbert Stuart's Later Life.

In 1793, Stuart returned to An ?rica,and for a few months remained in NewYork, painting the portraits of the mostfamous men and women of. the time.He then went to Philadelphia, then thecapital of the new Republic, his high-est ambition in life," as he declared,being to paint the face of Washington'There is a story of hie first introductionto the Father of his Country, signifi-cant of the characterof the two men.Stuart's natural ease4- - manner-(o- r iclf--conceit. as we ray SLdosq to think, it)had often carried him --unabashed intothe presence of royalty in Europe. The

j man oi genius, had he deiared, honored I

kings by his notice. But when Se.t.-ri-tar-

DaaJridge brought him int : .

little p.irlor where Washingta s.a"t- -

him, he utterly lost his ?ilf-nosssin- n

and stood awed and dumb for cdvcralminutes, The President talked to himquietly until he recovered himself.There must h;.vt been some fine qualityinJStuart himself, thus to appreciate thembjesty of simple truth.

The painter lived in Ocrmaatowu. aquiet little stiburl of Philadelphia, towhich tho yellow fever tl.at year haddriven President Washington ant! theofficers of state. He turnul un ivy-grow- n

stable or barn in a field near hishouse into a studio, and there he exe-

cuted the truest and gre.itet work othis life, the head of Washington, work-

ing at it with a p itient atuf anxious zeal.Something of tlie sincerity of his fitterseems to have communicated iteelf, for

the moment, to the flighty artist; andStuart's fascination conquered even tliegrave and impassive Washington. Afterhis own portrait was finished, we aretold in the legend of the vilbige thathe a ml Lady Washington would oftenstroll across the fields and sit for hoursin the stable-studi- o, talking to tiiepainter as he worked. The portrait fWashington, in l'ict, was not finishedat all; when tlie head was done, Stuartdeclared he would never touch it again,..... .1:1 ..ii. ......!. 1... :..:i. ...1 :..nun ucici uin, unuuuu u- - iiiiiai-ui- i in- -

It gives us, perhaps, our onlytrue knowledge, of the appearance ofWashington, if we except the best madeby Houdin, who came from France forthe express purpose of modeling it,for the State of Virginia.

There are told in Germantown manystories of Stuart - of the great men andthe stately, beautiful women who cameto him to be painted (and otiu likes tob lieve that iu those first day.-- j of theRepublic all the men were great and allthe women fairjjoflns skill, his ex-

cesses, iiis mad fury when angered, hisgenerosity when pleased; at work thismorning, with Thomas Jefferson as hischarmed, attentive listener; this after-

noon, kicking a roast of beef back tohis butcher'ri in a tempest of fury, fol-

lowed by the shouting, delighted boysof tho village.

His record after this date is briefly told.He went to Washington, then to Boston,and there died, the first portrait painterin the country, after an old age beset bydisease, debt aud drink.

No boy ever set out on the journey oflife with a argcr capital of health, win-

ning manner, friendship-!- , or naturalability; no man ever brought that jour-ney to a sadder eud of disappointmentand loss. Rebecca Harding Davit, St.Nicholas for April.

Wagner and the Centennial.

There is now authority for the announcement that Richard Wagner hasagreed to compose a grand march forthe opening of our exhibition at Phila-delphia. There is no musician livingwhose work would be more likely tnattract notice in this country thin theauthor of 'Tannhauser" and the "Rinirof tho Nibluugs," and perhaps there isnone who would produce for tuch afestival a work more richly deservingnotice. Wagner ha3 never written poormusic to order since the miserable daysof his early youth in Paris, when hemanufactured 'arrangements" for thepublishers at starvation prices. All theoccasional works ot his mature yearshave been of high and permanent value;he has not put a pen to paper exceptunder the impulse of ideas; he givesnothing to the world which he does notbelieve to be worthy of his fame. HisAmerican Centennial March thereforewill doubtless do credit to his owngenius, and we need hardly say that itis almost certain to be stirring andgorgeous enough for tho celebrationwhich it is to usher in.

That the great master has been in-

duced to interrupt the preparations forhis model performance at Biyrcuth longenough to write this March for Americais the fruit of the negotiations of Theo-

dore Thomas, under whose direction ofcourse the execution of the piece willtake place. It is owing however to thezeal of the Women's Centennial Organi-

zation, which has pledged itself toprovide the necessary money, that 3lr.Thomas was enabled to offer Herr Wag-

ner a suitable compensatioa. The Iadieaoi Philadelphia and Boston have agree Jto raise a certain moderat-- 2 amount, andthe ladies of New York are followingtheir patriotic example. If the historyof (he Centennial enterprise is everpublished in fall the world will be sur-

prised to learn how much the women ofAmerica have done, often in the most

nobtnuive manner, to make t success-ful. J". 7. Tribune.

An old white woman was arraigned on

the Work House. She sat down in 11

an old colored man came in, bringing a'pitcher of coffee and a plate of ",

and nppronching tlie Marshal he

asked, in nu agitated voice:"Boss, is ycr got an old white Iaely in

dar named Kiley?"Some one replied in the affirmative,

.nd the old man's face brightened up atonce. Turning to a number of gentle-

men, he said :

Gemmen, I hecrd dis mornirt' dut der
