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
