THE PANTRY.
"Betsy" has learned some things in pantry experience valuable to
herself, and perhaps to others, and has given us the following for our
Almanac: "The pantry should be large and airy. Time enough is
wasted and dishes enough broken in a "cluttered" up little closet, to
pay for the room needed, even if comfort and good temper are not
counted. Any body's nasal organs, if at all sharp, will prove the
necess ty of free ventilation. The shelves should be movable, so that
they may be taken down and scrubbed, and the wall behind them
properly whitewashed. It is well to have them numbered by notches
or otherwise, so that they can be readily replaced. Ants may be kept
out by making the shelves of black walnut. For mice we have found
nothing equal to toasted cheese. They are very fond of it. The
proper way to give it is in a small wire trap. A few doses, occasion¬
ally, will suffice. The roaches dislike hot water exceedingly, and it
is said that elderberry-bark, powdered finely and distributed about
their haunts, will drive them away ; I have not tried it. Cleanliness
is a good preventive. Instead of placing the preserves on the top
shelf, and risking broken limbs and jars whenever they were wanted,
I have found it better to have a locker or tight box ihade in one corner
of the pantry, which can be securely closed. A few drawers, in which
knives and forks, spoons, spices, etc., can be kept safely, are conve¬
nient."
Richardson's almanac.
THE HEW YEAR'S LESSON.
Open the gate for the knocking year;
One of God's ministers waits to greet us.
What from the Master shall we hear ?
What of w arning, what of cheer?
How will the New Year meet us?
Hark, he cries, Begin anew;
Too long hast thou been sleeping,
Too long hast thou been creeping;
Begin, begin anew.
Look, there is a world of good,
Waiting, pleading for thy doing;
Foes within to be subdued,
Truth to be spread, errors withstood ;
Large-hearted giving, free-handed strewing;
Zion's glory kept in view,
This boundless field before thee,
God's great commandment o'er thee,
Begin, begin anew.
Only by striving the soul grows strotfg:
Up, brave heart, with your banner;
Speed the Gospel, right the wrong,
Enter the New Year with a song;
Sing till you sing, Hosanna !
Heart and hands begin anew;
Down with the old dead burden;
Celestial armor gird on;
Begin, begin anew.
Beginning new makes New Year's day,
Bears us back to youth's fresh morning:
Winter is the morn of May,
All the world a shining way,
When new light within is dawning.
Come, oh breath, the soul renew;
There is in faith such meetness,
There is in love such sweetness,
The old life it makes anew.
Hail to the future; name it Grace;
Golden ages lie in its bosom,
Righteousness and her sister Peace,
Strewing o'er life's wilderness
Palm and oil, leaf and blossom.
Haste, begin thy life anew ;
Still nearer to thy God,
Still farther from the clod;
Begin, begin anew.

DECEMBER. If all has not been done as heretofore directed, there is no time
to be lost. Every thing that needs protection should now be attended to, and if
the weather continues open, some of the ground may be ploughed or trenched,
to receive the benefit of the winter frosts. Provide manure for another year;
dress your Artichoke beds and cover them; defend Mushroom beds with drv
straw or long stable litter. J
Review the results of your practice throughout the past season, that vou mav
be able to judge how to act for the future. J 1

half a cup of sugar, one teaspoonful of soda, and two teaspoonfuls of
cream tartar. Stir butter and sugar tegether, add the eggs, put the
cream tartar into the flour, dissolve the soda in a little milk, pour in

thing. Bake in cups or muffin-rings set on a tin sheet.
Lemon Pie.—For two, take the grated peel of one lemon and the
juice of two; two tablespoonfuls of cream of tartar; two of melted
butter; the yelks of four eggs; eight spoonfuls of sugar. Bake until
well done. The white of four eggs and four spoonfuls of sugar beaten
to a stiff froth, and spread over th,e pie. Bake for three minutes.
Indian Meal Puffs.—Into one quart of boiling water, stir eight table-
spoonfuls of meal and four spoonfuls of sugar. Boil five minutes,
stirring constantly. When cool, add six well-beaten eggs. Bake in
buttered cups half an hour. Try them with a little butter and good
molasses, and see if they are not good.
Indian Mush Cakes.—Take one quart of water, and, when boiling,
thicken it with meal. Have it about as thick as you would mush.
When a little cool, add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, two of
yeast, and enough flour to make it about as stiff as bread dough. Let
it stand over night. In the morning, add enough flour to roll out in
little cakes, and bake on the griddle.

A Poultice for Felons.—Take Castile soap, and scrape a large or
small quantity, according to the amount wanted, and simmer in new
milk till it forms a paste as thick as cream, cool and apply. You will
find this one of the best poultices for felons, or any kind of swelling
that needs poulticing, and far superior to bread and milk.
Cuts, Sores and Injuries.—Two quarts alcohol; one ounce blue vit¬
riol and two ounces copperas pulverized, and added to a part of the
alcohol; then add one ounce of gunpowder to the remaining alcohol,
and, after remaining awhile, mingle together. Use as a wash.
Lumps on the Jaws of Cattle.—The following is a receipt for a lini¬
ment for swellings on animals: Half an ounce spirits hartshorn, one
gill spirits turpentine, half a pint sweet oil, two ounces gum camphor,
and one pint alcohol. Dissolve the camphor in the alcohol, and then
mix all the ingredients together.
Cure for the Bite of a Mad Dog.—Spirits of hartshorn is a certain
remedy for the bite of a mad dog. The wound should be constantly
bathed with it, and three or four doses, diluted, taken inwardly dur¬
ing the day. The hartshorn decomposes, chemically, the virus in¬
sinuated into the wound, and immediately alters and destroys its
deleteriousness. It has also been tried for the bite of a scorpion and
for the bite of a rattlesnake, with sure success.

• Dr. Hall, in his Journal of Health, gives the following remedies:
Food and Drink Cures.—Ripe fruit and berries, slightly acid, will
remove the ordinary diarrhoeas of early summer. Common rice,
parched brown like coffee, and then boiled and eaten in the ordinary
way, without any other food, is, with perfect quietude of the body,
one of the most effectual remedies for troublesome looseness of the
bowels.
Some of the severest forms of that distressing ailment called dysen¬
tery—that is, when the bowels pass blood, with constant desire, yet
rain effort to stool—are sometimes entirely cured by the patient eating
a heaping table-spoonful, at a time, of raw beef cut up very fine, and
repeated at intervals of four hours, until cured, eatiug and drinking
nothing else in the meantime.
, In case of scalding or burning the body, immersing the part in cold
water gives entire relief, as instantaneously as the lightning. Mean¬
while get some common dry flour, and apply it an inch or two thick
qn the injured part the moment it emerges from the water, and keep
sprinkling on the flour through anything like a pepper-box cover, so
as to put it on evenly. Do nothing else, drink nothing but water, eat
nothing, until improvement commences, except some dry bread soft¬
ened in very weak tea of some kind. Cures of frightful burnings have
been performed in this way as wonderful as they are painless.
Costive bowels have an agreeable remedy in the free use of tomatoes
at meals—their seeds acting the way of the seeds of white mustard or
figs, by stimulating the coats of the bowels over which they pass, in
their whole state, to increase action.
We once saved the life of an infant which had been inadvertently
drugged with laudanum, and was fast sinking into the sleep which
was no awaking, by giving it. strong coffee, cleared with the white
of an egg, a teaspoonful every five minutes until it ceased to seem
drowsy.
Erysipelas, a disease often coming without premonition, and ending
fatally in three or four days, is sometimes promptly cured by apply¬
ing a poultice of raw cranberries pounded, and placed on the part
over night.
Common sweet cider, boiled down to one-half, makes a most excel¬
lent syrup for coughs and colds for children—is pleasant to the taste,
and will keep throughout the year in a cold cellar.

richardson's almanac.
Average Age.—The average age of people of different nations varies.
In 1811, the average age of the inhabitants of Scotland was 27 years ;
ef England, 26 years ; of Prussia, 27 years ; of the United States, 22
years. In New Hampshire and Vermont, one-third of all the people
are over 60 years of age; in Iowa and Minnesota, not more than one-
sixth have passed that period. For every 1,000 children under 15
years of age in New Hampshire, there are 768 persons over 60 years
of age, but in Illinois only 73, and in Mississippi 74.
Butter Making.—Great cleanliness must be observed ever and always
in butter making. The atmosphere, the table, the vessels, the floor,
every thing must be kept sweet and clean. The neat dairy woman
will not allow dusty coats, muddy boots, or tobacco odor, to come in
elose proximity to her butter bowl or milk table.
Ashes as a Manure.—Ashes may be used with advantage to almost
any class of crops, but especially as a dressing for grass, grain and
Indian corn though the immediate benejit of ashes is most perceptible
on leguminous plants, such as clover, peas, beans, &c. Ashes in some
respects act like lime; consequently, on thin, poor soils, they should
not be applied in large quantities, unless vegetable matter is added at
the same time, as the effect is too stimulating and exhausting. They
act like lime in having a tendency to give a compactness to light
sandy soils, and reuder heavy clay soils light and friable. They
serve, too, to neutralize whatever super-abundance of acids there
may be in any soil.
To Prevent Mould in Books.—A few drops of oil of lavender will
Save a library from mould.

One protects us from harm, the other harms us by protection.

Vermin on Cattle.—To destroy these tormentors, anoint the animal
with equal parts of tar and train oil, to which should be added a little
sulphur. A half-pint of snuff added to a pint of the ointment is
usually effectual. A decoction of tobaceo will kill vermin, but it will
sicken, and might even kill the animal, if too profusely used.
Cure for Toothache.—A roasted onion, bound on the wrist over the
pulse, will relieve the most inveterate toothache in a few minutes.
Weaning Pigs.—Persons who have had much experience in rearing
swine, have noticed the woe-begone a^pearanc^ of young pigs suddenly
deprived of" Nature's first food. Few persons, indeed, know how to
wean pigs. I give you my experience. Provide yourselves with
troughs made of boards one foot in width, five feet long, with sides
but two or three inches high. The idea is to provide a trough that
will be accessible to pigs as well as the sow. Each sow and litter,
for manifold reasons, should have separate pens and ranges. Feed
the sow sparingly for the firjjt three or four days alter farrowing.
Afterwards, she should be fed, in the shape of slops all she can eat.
It will pay, rest assured of it, reader. At the end of four weeks "the
pigs will* take to the well-prepared slops', and consequently will-gain
faster and draw less heavily on the dam.
