The Caro of Horses Something Good to Eat To Keep Young Weeds Down Beo-Keeplnn Notes. For jxtato culture, manure the land in tho fall and plow it under in the spring. It is a mistaken idea that a hen's nest ought to do duty a year without renew ing. By planting the red raspberry, bee keepers would havo one of the best boo pastures known, and a crop of fruit also. Common wheat flour mado into paste with cold water, applied dry, will take out grease spots without injuring tho most delicate fabric. A strong solution of carbolic acid and water, poured into holes, kills all tho ants it touches, and tho survivors imme diately take themselves off. To stop tho bleeding of a horse or other stock from a snag or wound, make an ap plication of dry horso manure, and it will stop tho bleeding every time. One jwiind of green copperas dissolved in one quart of lnjiling water will destroy foul smells. Powdered lorax scattered in their haunts will disperse cockroaches. For good returns for feeding, taking one year witli another, wo would rather trust a bunch of even, well selected wetheis than any other stock on the farm. Any man closely observant knows that a compactly built hog with light bone, weighing from 175 to 250 pounds, is the selling hog for the market; and that these weights aro tho most profitable to grow. Ordinary buttermilk is a valuable food not only for pigs, but for the family. It contains 5 per cent of milk sugar, nearly 1 per cent of mineral salts, as well as nitrogenous materials and a proportion of butter fat. Every young weed that comes up and is ait down is one less weed to go to seed. The way to keep down weeds is to allow the seeds to germinate and then destroy tho young plants. In this manner the work is easier and better performed. A. good way to arrage fruit in a dish for an ornamental piece, is to set a glass tumbler in tho center of the dish, around and over it put a thick layer of moss; then not nearly so much fruit will be re quired, and it can bo arranged very hand somely. Baked Beans : Soak one nunrt of bnnns in water ovor night; in the morning put them in an iron kettle with one-half pound of salt pork and water to cover. When tender, but not broken, take out of the liquor with a skimmer and put in a baking pan with the pork on top and bake uutil brown. White Mountain Ciko: Two cups of sugar, one cup of butwr, one cup of sweet milk, four eggs, fo ir cups of Hour, two teaBpoontuls of baking powder. Cream, butter and sugar together, add the beaten yolks, then tho milk, Hour with the bak ing power sifted thromrh it. and lust, tlm beaten whites; llavoring. Bake in one loai. Rosin in soap is a fraud. It makes poor soap harui and greatly lessons tho cost. Some say that rosin improves soan because of the turpentine in it. Thev might as well say a dry bono makes good food because of tho meat that was on it once. 'there is no turpentine in rosin : it was all'tuken out in tho makiiiL' and tho rosin discolors and spoils white uoods and shrinks woolens. But turpontine in smaii quantities added to boilini! clothes. sweetens them and improves tho color. mi. ..I i . . . mo ijosi dovs and tfiris wo have rvnr known on the farm woro those whoso parents gave them an interest in some thing to raise or cultivate as their own. To ahoy especially, the feeling of owner ship is a happy, proud, hopeful one. He feels that ho has something to work for, to look forward to. Tho pig will in due timo become a fat, marketable hog, the little lamb a lino wool-bearing sheep, tho colt a handsome horse, the chickens grow to prolitablo liens, and tho "alf into a lino milk cow. Parents, give your chil dren a chanco in this direction,"and vour farms will be better cultivated and your homes mado happier by it. Something to Eat Between talks: Here is another sweet dish thoroughly to sea son, lako threo pounds of sweet al monds, two pounds and a half of crushed sugar, and ono pound of strawberries. Pound tho almonds into a kind of jmsto, and mix them with sugar. Add tho juice of tho strawberries, which must be prev iously crushed. Place tho pan contain ing these different ingredients on a slow fire, and stir them up continuously. N hen tho paste seems to havo obtained a certain consistency, tako it out of the pan and spread it out on a baking board Iovdorid with sugar, till it is of tho thick ness of a half-dollar. As soon as the paste is cold, cut it out in round or square pieces, and put them till hot and crisp, into the kitchener, and then servo. Coccoa as Food ; As an articlo of food cocoa dilfers essentially from both tea and coffee. While only an infusion of thoso substances is used, leaving a largo pro portion of their total weight unconsumed, tho entire substance of tho cocoa seeds is prepired as an emulsion for drinking, ami tho whole is thus utilized witli tho system. While the contents of a cup of iu.i or coiico can oniy no regarded as stimulant in its elfect, and almost en tirely destitute of essential nutritivo prop erties, a cup of prepared cocoa is really a most nourishing articlo of diet. as. in ad dition to the value of tho theobromine it i contains it introduces into tfio system no inconsiderable proportion of "valuable nitrogenous and oleaginous elements. ; Boiled Salads : All head vegetables, ' lettuce, cauliflower, cabbage, that are to ! bo cooked whole, should be imnu'rsiwl In ' cold water, head downwards first, to free ! rrrun ...it ... !.....,,.

CofTee Quotations Remain About Steady Sugars all Around Havo Had a Slight Advance Tho Wool Market Very Quiet. From all accounts tho wvather is most propitious forcropsof all kinds, especially the early fruits, which havo been somo damaged by tho rains of late, and the only obstacle to the farmers reaping tho bene fit of another profitable harvest is, the present proppect of a low price for wheat, but as this is early in the season to prog nosticate, they rely ujkjii hope. In all lines of business in tho local merchan dise markets the transactions are good for the season of the year, and no com plaints aro heard. Sugars havo advanced JjjC during tho week, while provisions continue steady at former quotations. Tho vegetable market contiues good and prices aro fairly maintaind for Oregon product, California having been almost driven from the market. Buter is firm, with no danger of tho market getting overstocked, owing to the commencement, of the packing season. AVe quote : anocEitiES.

LIFE AT HARVARD. A niillalonlaii Trll How III Time In Spent In f 1 1 o cc. Counting undergraduates and special students together, thero aro 1,140 young men between tho uges of seven teen and twenty-four now residing at Harvard College. Tho writer enjoyed an interview with ono of tho BulTalo boys, who was at homo for a brief ro cess, a short time ago. "You will understand." ho said, "that I am neither a 'grind' nor a loafer, but an average student, and the vast majority of them live just about as I do. A picture of my college day is about as follows: 1 turn out anywhero between 7:40 and 8 in the morning, and go over to Memorial to breakfast at 8 or 8:30 sometimes oarlier than that, so as to go to chapel. Prayers como at 8:45, and aro well attended, though wo don't havo to go unless we chooso. After this recitations and lectures take up nearly the whole forenoon, and I have ono in the afternoon three times a week. On four days of tho week I have three recitations, on tho others two. Other men havo them ditTorently, according to tho elcctives thoy take. My studies are over for tho day at 3 p. m., and they occupy, all told, about soven hours a day. "I'm interested in athletics, and my afternoon from 3 to 5:30 is spent in tho gymnasium, or in out-door athletics in tho season for them. Part of our train ing, in suitable weather, consists of a run of two miles, to Porter's station and back. Tho gymnasium Is always crowded, and you got pretty well heat ed up by your oxorciso, whatever it is. Then, after a cold shower and a brisk rubbing, you leel like a king, and don't you just sleep nights, though! I find that my athletic training helps my studios greatly. Dinner comes at six, and I generally study evenings, though not always. I've bcon to the theater some eight or nino times this term, but I don't like to go to Boston much. It takes too long and you have to be up late, which won't do when you are iu training. "Many people have an idea that you can let your studios go and loaf, or worse, until two or three weeks before ttie examinations, and then cram up. This is utter nonsense. It i3 simply impossible to keep up with your class in that way, unless, indeed, you can spond $100 or if 150 for private tutors, and oven then you wouldn't bo safe. As for cutting recitations, if you mado a practice of doing it oftener than twice a week you'd be investigated, sure as fato and that is not at all pleasant. "On 'Sundays I go to church some where .sometimes to Boston to hoar Phillips Brooks, sometimes to tho col lege chapel, sometimes elsewhore. Thoro aro usually 400 or 500 at morn ing prayers, and more than that at tho Sunday evening sorvico, though you don't havo to go to either unless yon want to." BulTalo Express. THE POET LAUREATE." Interesting mid A mining Anecdotes Con. cernliiK Tennj'Hoii. Absent-minded to a degree. Tenny son often forgets to whom ho is speak ing, and onco when in full conversa tion with Robert Browning said, ap parently apropos do bottes: "I wonder how Browning is getting on." "Why!" exclaimed Robert, "I am Browning." "Nonsense," replied Tennyson, with nlmost an attemp't at roguish raillery, "I know tho follow well, so you can't toll me you aro he." A few years ago some eiithasiastie admirers of Tennyson gavo a large dinner in his honor, and invited all thoir choicest friends in tho world of literature and art to meet him. Tenny son, who rarely accepts an invitation, did. for a wonder, put in an appear anco on this occasion; but, during tho first half of tho dinner, caused the greatest disappointment by romnining absolutely silent, and as if lost in tho most profound revorio. Tho guests, who had oxpoetod to hang on words falling like pearls of thought from his Hps, gazed somewhat wistfully on him, when suddenly rousing himsolf, ho ex claimed in a loud, stentorian voico: "I like my mutton out in chunks!" 1 can not help suspecting that thoro was something of malico proponso iu this burst of confidence, and that tho poor man folt a not unnatural irritation at being gapod at, and a corresponding deslro to punish tho offondors. An anecdoto told mo not long ago by tho daughter-in-law is amusing, in thnt it shows how tho greatest aro not inca pable of stooping to littio weaknesses. Somo very dear frlonds of Tennyson's who had been spending somo years in Paris, roturned to London, and anx ious to renew old ties, wrote inviting him to their house. But Tennyson mis took tho day, and arriving at tho domi cile found tho birds llown. Sitting down to write a note of explanation, ho had tho misfortune to throw tho con tents of a woll-tilled Ink bottlo nil ovor tho boautiful now white Persian car pet. Tho maid sorvant, in answor to his summons, appeared with a largo jug of now milk, which sho poured ovor the o.Tending Ink stain. "I'll give you live shillings, my good girl, my very good girl," confided Tennyson in much agitation, "if you'll only got rid of that abominable ink before your master and mlstross como homo." And together on their hands mid knees pootund Abi gail rubbed and rubbed at tho wretched carpet until not a spot romnlnod. Tuu girl earned hor live shillings, and when a few weeks nftorwardsTonnyson wont to dlno with his friond ho had ovory reason to believe that she had told no tales. At any rate tho host and hostess displayed tliolr gorgeous earpot with out nuy feign of consciousness. London Cor. Snu Franolico Chroulclo.
