Non-producing hens are of no service
Mane a pot-pie of them at once.
Cultivate the peach orchard in the
same manner as when cultivating corn
That is, use the cultivator and stir the
top soil frequently.
Get your young fruit trees in the
ground before this month is gone. The
later it 1b the deferred the greater the
chances of injury by dry weather.
Tiie thermometer and the barometer
should be used by all farmers. After
having used them awhile they will be
considered indispensible adjuncts to the
iarm.
Corn is not a perfect food for a hog.
Though rich in those elements that tend
to fatten, yet corn is deficient in the bone
and muscle-making elements to a cer
tain extent. A mixed diet is best.
Sweet potatoes should be cultivated
well until they begin to run. They will
not thrive if the weather is very wet, and
the more air and heat admitted to the
roots the better, so as to give them an
early start.
Taking care of the tools and imple
ments is one of the best modes of econo
mizing on the farm. The valuo of the
tools annually depreciated from lack of
cleaning, oiling, and exposure to weather
s enormous.
This is one way of cleaning velvet:
Hold over a kettle of clean boiling water,
the wrong side down, for two minutes,
place on a smooth board and hrush with
a soft velvet brush immediately: if it is
a large piece and gets too dry, steam
again and brush. This way is quite
satisiactory to some.
Every farmer should have an experi
mental plot of his own. The informa
tion gained of a practical kind will be in
valuable. If everv farmer in the United
States could be induced to try a few ex
penments annually, agriculture would
make more rapid progress than any other
uraiicu oi muusiry.
Do not be induced to retain a male pig
it. t i t. - ;i r
irum uiu uruss-ureu niier oecausc it is a
fine specimen. The male should be
thoroughbred, or there will be no uni
formity in the offspring. The mistake of
keeping over cross-bred males is one that
has largely aided in degenerating the
swine on some larms.
The tendency of silver table ware has
been toward smallness and compactness,
and this has effected tho size of smaller
ware. The butter plates, salt cellars and
pepper pots are very diminutive, and as
a rule they are decorated in the same
manner as tho larger pieces, although
thero aro ninnv odd and striking iIphiVtih.
A new style of salt cellars is made in the
form of a diminutive stewpan. Others
imitate shells, leaves, fruits and flowers.
Salad Dressing: Peel and boil a large
lino potato : mash well and. when cold
add the yolk of a raw egg, a teaspoonfu
of mustard and a little salt ; stir well to
gether; add two tablespoonfuls of olive
oil and vinegar very slowly, stirring con
stantly so that it may be very smooth.
This is nice with chopped celery or cab
bage.
Lemon or Oranne Cream : Take one
lemon or two oranges, mate, add one cup
of sugar, half a cipful of ice water and one
cuptul ol cream ; beat the whites of three
eggs and stir in. Warm a gill of milk,
in wnicn mix two tauiespooniuis ot corn
starch ; let thicken and stir in. Set on
ice. Whip a quart of cream, flavor with
essence of almond and pour over.
Sweet Peas: Tho main point in the
culture of sweet peas is to cut the flowers
every day. it one bloom is permitted to
mature and form seed tho vitality oi the
plant is exhausted and the blooming is
it an end. llns beautiful variety has
been-much improved of late, and a num
ber of very beautiful kinds have been
produced by crossing. The best effect is
gained by planting several varieties, a
few of each together in rings, and train
ing them on strings fastened from pegs
in tho ground to a central stake, or tho
mixed seeds may be planted. The setds
should bo planted at onco, and by con
tinuous cutting the bloom will last all
through the season.
Salt for Cows: If cows were forced to
eat salt by it leing put in their food it
might do them harm, out it is extremely
doubtful if cows will eat two much salt if
the' are allowed free access to it and freo
choice to take it or not. Salt, being an
apparent need for the system, will help to
keep the animal healthy. This will in
crease the flow of milk and improve tho
quality. It iu belie veil that salt will do
this directly, and that its use will im
prove the churning quality of the milk.
But salt should be given regularly. If
not thero will bo suffering ut ono timo
from lack of it, and at another timo from
excess of it. Provide rock salt, and hare
a place for it where the cows can always
go to it. Put a trough in the vard, or a
box iu tho side of u building (with a root)
or u box under the cuttle shed.
Eating Lemons : A great deal has been
said through the papers about the health
fulness of lemons. The atest advice is
how to uso them bo that they will do the
most good, as follows : Most people know
tho Iwnetit of lemonade beforo breakfast,
but few know thatitis more than doubled
by taking another ut night also. The
way to get the better of the billions sys
tem, without blue pills or quinine, is to
take tho juice of one, two or three lemons,
ns appetite craves, in as much ice water
as makes it pleasant to drink without
sugar before goiny to bed. In tho morn
ing, on rising, at least half an hour be
foro breakfast, take the juice of one lemon
in a goblet of water. This will clear tho
system of humor and bilo with efficiency
without any of tho weakening effects of
calomel or congress water. Peoplo
should not Irritate tho Htomach l- eating
lemons clear.
Savoy cabbago is excellent prepared in
the German way. The outer leaves must
bo taicen off and the cabbage then cut
through the middle. Remove tho cen
tral stalk from the heart and from the
leaves, and then cut up the leaves in fine
pieces. Wash tho pieces well and plungo
them into boiling water slightly salted,
and let them cook rapidly until done.
Then placo them on a colander, pour
boiling water over them and then drain
them thoroughly. Put the cabbago in a
saucepan with soun Ktrw-L- nf lu.iiu.. .,
littlo butter and nutmeg und let it steam
for ono hour.

the decline, but hardly as low as they
should be. Eastern provisions nro now
obtaining higher prices than our own
products. The abundant supply of all
kinds of the luscious fresh fruits in sea

prove that another plentiful crop is being
