Horse -Flesh as an Article of
• Diet.
During the early years of the experi-
ment in France Of using horse -flesh as an
article of diet, the new Meat aia not ap-
pear to grow in favor with the French
palate in spite of the labors of the fer-
vent apostles of hippophagistn. The flesh
of horses-, mules, and donkeys was cer-
tainly eaten, but in obedien.ce to the
necessities, rather than the wishes, of
the consumers. The -last few years, how-
• ever, have witnessed a great increase of
equine flesh. During the last three
months' at 1869, 626 of the animals above
mentioned. passed through the slaughter-
houses of Paris. in the corresponding
months of 1872 the niunber had: risen to
1,144, and the last quarter M the cnrrent
year is reported: to have conducted 1,555
down-- the same roadof the Parisian ,
throat. Great improvements have pro-
bably been made in the manner of dress-
ing the meat, whieh, when roasted like'
• beef, is said to be very dry and unsa-
vory. No less an authority than Philip
Gilbert Hamerten decides that the opin-
ion Whial adjudged the donkey to be ,
used as a beast of burden is an aec-long
mistake, and that the true, the only Delivered to any part of Seaforth and- Egmond-
destiny for tlitat obstinate little beast is ville. All Orders loft at Air. IlItILL'S Store,

mony whereof he eites the wonderful
sausages of Lyons, whose unequaled M. 011ARLESWO1TH & CO.

made of donkey meat. Well; French
others will beaill right, but A you take.
them to market you will be surprised to
find that many potatoes In your load
show thatthey have been visited• by the
frost, and that buyers -decline to take
them at any price. Frost has a curious
habit of penetrating a pile of potatoes and
selecting here andthere one, perhaps the
more watery ones, and to leave its im-
press upon. The better way is. to cover
so deep as to prevent all likelihood of
frost.

Platform of the Illinois Farraers.
TF
• The State Farmers' Convention recent-
ly in session at Springfierd, Illinois,
adopted a lengthy platform, declaring
that the great political evil of the past
and present time has been, and is, class
legislation in favor of the financial, mer-
Cantilc manufacturing, and transporta-
tion interests as against the farnaer and
laborer ; renouecing all allegiance to
either existing political party; demand-
ing a reduction of official salaries, and a
general reforna in the civil service ; im-
provement of the national water courses;
removal of the tariff on clothing, lum-
ber, iron, and steel. ; opposing further
Government aid to corporations e de-
manding the repeal of the National
Banking law, and the substitution of legal
tenders te be receivable for import duties
and interchangeable for 3 65-100 regis-
tered bonds ; demanding a revision of
the Patent laws, and the enforcement of
the Railroad laws of the State, and op-
posing Congressional legislation which
will deprive the States of the control of
the railroads—a right which they will
never consent to relinquish; condemning
the reception of railroad passes by public
officers; favoring the adoption of a State
revenue system similar to Oat of Penn-
sylvania, and finally indorsing the call
for a National Convention at Cleveland;
on the llth of March next, to consider
the general classes and the formation of
a national party, and the convention to
elect delegates to said convention.

Plain Diet,
• Whenyour children grumble because
you set before them simple, nutritious
food, don't coax their laggard appetites
with dainties; rather let them fast until
they are hungry, and can appreciate good
bread and butter. If yoe make it a
point to give them the best of every-
thing, to pamper them with rich cakes,
sweetmeats and sugar plums ; if you al.
low them to say with a scowl, " I don't
like this or that," "1 can't eat that,"
and then go away and make. them a lit-
• tle toast, or kill a chicken for their dain-
ty palates-edepend upon it you are doing
a great injtity, not only on the score of
denying a Jun muscle and rosy cheek,
but of forming one of the most incon.
venient habits that they can carry with
• them in afterlife. When they come to
leave you they will not half the time
find anything they can eat—and th 's
you will prepare them to go chafing aikI
grumbling through life, the veriest slaves
almost in the world. Mothers, listen

Keeping Potatoes and. Roots
over Winter.
The potatoes and roots which may be
required kn.' the family and for etock-
breeding While the ground may be frozen,
must of course be stored. where they may
be accessible, either in a house, barn or
outdoor cellar. The latter may • be
cheaply constructed, especially where a
sidehill is 00nVenient, by digging out a
pit, erecting a ridgepole over the centre
to sustain the roof, using planks or slabs
for rafters, and coveriug, first with sod,
and then with earth.
But to keep the vegetables over to
spring, to be used thenthe better way
- is to bury them in pits. A dry, slightly
elevated location should be selected, and
a long, narrow pit dug about two feet in
depth. This pit should be filled, and
heaped up with the vegetables. in cover-
ing we should aim to keep out frost and
water, so that the Yegatables may come
out both dry and sound, in the spring.
, Although not absolutely necessary, it is
irst withstraw, and if the straw can be
desira-bleito cover potatoes, at least,
f
so lid as to turn off the water which
maysoak through the earth, so much the
better.
Until there is danger of hard: freezing
it is not advisable to cover very deep
with earth, as it may keep the ve,,,e.e-
tables too warm, but the exterior should. -
be compacted and smoothed with the
back -of the shovel, so that it will shed
the is which falls upon it before win-
ter closes in for good, the earth should
be heaped upon the pits without stint. E
Better cover a foot deeper than necessary °
than to cover just a little to shallow, and
permit the frost to, enter.

places up there whiere the snow is proba-

forming a, large drift juet over therdge
