Feeding In Warm Weather Plum Cul turePoultry Diseases Lawns Something Nice to Eat. Success depends even more upon cor rect methods than upon hard work. The roots of lucern extend very deeply into the soil, thus enabling tho plant to endure drought. Lawn grass seed should be in the ground. If deferred the growth of the grass will be delayed by the dry days of summer. Cannas should be planted out when the ground is warm, and tho same with dahlias, gladiolus, und ricinus or castor oil plants. Tho wife of your youth is clearly en titled to the easiest pump in the house well, and a covered walk to it from the kitchen door. Sheep fescue grass grows on 8oil that would not produce clover or other grasses and should bo sown for sheep. About thirty ixmnds of seed are required for ono acre. For stock tho mammoth long red man gel werzel is tho best on light loamy soils that havo been deeply plowed. The globe varieties are best Buited for still soils. A hen and chicks in a garden some times prove beneficial, ao they destroy many insects, but they should be kept away from plots that have been recently seeded. Outdoor cabbage beds may be prepared. Havo the bed rich and fine, and sow the seed in rows so as to keep the grass out. Transplant as soon as the young plants are large enough. Smothered Rice : Boil for ten minutes one cup of cold lxiiled chicken chopped fine, two cups of cold boiled rice ami one pint of chicken broth, seasoned with salt, pepper and butter. Sardine Sandwich : Wine and lono the sardines, lay them on the bread and squeeze a lemon over them very lightly, taking care not to make them too wet or the bread will be soppy. Pop-corn is a valuable crop in some sections. It is sold by the pound, grain and cob together. Tho rice pop-corn, which is uniformly clear and bright, is the favorito market variety. The Cory is the earliest sugar-corn, and grows but two or three feet in height. For a later crop tho Evergreen may be planted. Do not put the seed in until danger of frost has passed. Millet seed should not go in until after all danger of frost is over. Like buck wheat, it is a summer plant and requires but a short period for growth. It des troys weeds and yields enormously. The smaller the field the more fence re quired and the more land taken from cul tivation. The more oblong the field, the more fence required to incloso a given area: conversely, the nearer a squre is the field the less fence is required. Fowls can stand considerable cold weather without serious discomfort; but they are not iron-clad like lamp-posts. Exposure to a steady draught while on tho perches is very (langero'is to them. Stop up even as small openings as knot holes. Small lawns, or grass plots, are better if sodded or laid with turf, but the ground should be well enriched before laying. Where lawns, made by sowing, border upon paths and roads or flower beds or liorders, it is woll to lay an edging of turf to give a line margin. Annuals, especially asters, zinnias, etc., may be started in hot-beds or window boxes, to be set out in settled weather. Sow abundantly the seeds of mignonette, candytuft, etc., in a place from which all the family are free to cut. Also plant sweet peas early and provide with sticks. One of tho novolties and luxuries of the period is banana cake. Take one cup of sugar, one cup of water or sweet milic, three eggs, four cups of Hour, throe small teasiioons of baking powder. Mix lightly and bake in layers. Make an icing of the whites of two eggs, and one cup and a half of jKiwdered sugar. Spread this on tho layers, and then cover thickly and entirely with bananas sliced thin. The cake may be flavored with vanilla. The top should oe simply frosted. A retreshing variety of salad, to be eaten along with cold meat, is made of cucumbers and onions. The cucumbers aro to be pared and then sliced crosswise as thinly as iHjssiblo; ono or two largo onions aro sliced iu the same manner and mixed with the sliced cucumbers and the whole put into salt water ; this, in a short time, extracts tho juice; now drain them and dish ; they are then to be well peppered and half covered with good wine or cider vinegar; a little olivo oil may lo added if liked. This salad may also bo frozen and served with boiled fish. Feeding in Warm Weather: Sudden changes of temperature make bad work for those feeding stock to fatten. It is sometimes curious that it is the change from cold to warm that is most dreaded All grain-fed stock get "off their feed," as it is called at such times, unless great care is taken to diminish the ration. The natural instinct of a fattening animal will not prevent it from eating too much ami injuring its digestion. One reason, lcrhaps, is that after a very cold spell animals Ixn'onio extremely thirsty, and when the warmer weather conies they aro tempted to drink moro than is good for them. With moderately warm weath er in winter tho water drunk must lie nearly ice cold, as it is also in early spring. It is verv possible the filling up with cold water that causes the lassitude felt by men and the brute creation iu early spring. The cold drink chills the digostivo organs, and with theso inactive there is nothing to maintain animal heat, and the entire body becomes chilled, cold and uncomfortable. Gingerbread: Ono cup of molasees, one-half cup of brown sugar, one-fourth of a cup of butter, ono cup of sour milk, ono egg, ono teasjKxmful each of cream tartar, soda, ground ginger and cinna mon, flour enough to make a medium Iwtter. By far tho greater part of poultry dis eases are on tho outside ami their names aro hen lieu and mites or spiders. Tho best remedies aro bulwch and kerosene, tho former to bo used on thu iowls anil tho latter on the perches, in tho nests und iu the whitewash. Theso two suIh etuncca give us ubBoluto control of tho insects that infest poultry und poultry houses, and consequently control of tho so-called discuses resulting from insects. PORTLAND MARKET.
