What he Needs Grapevines Feed for Young Chicks An Orchard Lad derCucumber Pickles. Sailor hats in colored straw are effect ively trimmed with black lace. French Pickle. One pecK of green to matoes sliced, two heads of cabbage cutas for slaw, twelve large onions, chopped, twelve green peppers chopped, four table spoonluls each of ground cloves, allspice, celery seed, and sait to taste. Cover with strong chief vinegar and boil two hours When done and cold, seal in jars and keep in a dry place. Mixed rations aro more economical than the feeding of any particular article of food exclusively, as some foods assist in the digestion of others. There are growing rations, which are best for grow ing stock, nnd there are rations that promote fat more than others. The stockman should have an object in view, and feed in a manner to obtain it at the least cost. There is no fixed quantity of butter or ci earn to expect from milk. Milk varies daily, according to the food and amount of water consumed. The quality of the food largely determines the amount of cream also. Cream itself varies, and does not give the same proportion of but ter by measurement of weight. A great many conditions enter into the work be fore an estimate can be made. Small Cucumber Pickles. Wash and wipe a quantity of small cucumbers and place them in jars. Cover them with boiling brine strong enough to bear an egg ; let stand twenty-rour hours. Then take them out, wipe, place in clean jars and cover with hot vinegar spiced with an onion, twelve whole cloves, one ounce of mustard seed and a little mace. Thev will be ready for use in two weeks. Oxen nre serviceable on Jargo farms, and also in those sections where tho roads aro nearly impassiblo in winter, as they can travel where a horse cannot venture. They can be ored for the pur poses desired by judicious selection of the best breeds for producing quick- draught oxen, the Devon breed being superior to any other. A Devon ox will bear the heat well, travel at a rapid gait and endure fatigue. A cross of the Devon with large native stock also produces ex cellent oxen, if the undo calves are re tained for that purpose. Grapevines Apply sulphur at the first appearance of mildew, and follow it up. We are surprised to unit that some well-known nomologists, if they do not advise, speak favorably of ringing the ! vines. This is done by removing a ring I of bark a quarter of an inch wide, or by , twisting a wire (irmly around the shoot, just beiow the lower cluster. This causes early ripening and line-looking (ruit, but is destructive to liavor. Most grape- growers, with a conscience about them, look upon ringing grapes that are to be marketed in the light of fraud. Horti cultural and similar societies should speak on this matter. Feed for Young Chicks. This should be changed as often as possible, advises a good authority. Too rapid feathering is a drain on the system. Some varieties feather up quickly, while others are al most naked. Feed ground bone (fine) every day mixed m with the teed. Whero we raise from 0,000 to 10,000 per year wo know by this timo the necessity of proper feeding. Corn and oats ground together is our standard feed, to which we add ground bone, ground meat, char coal and oyster shell. A pinch of bread soda (Bicarbonato of soda) can boused ae a substitute for charcoal. An Orchard Ladder. It is made of one-inch spruco or good pine, sixteen Icet long, and tlio suit's aro joined to gether at one end for a length of twenty inches, when thev begin to spread apart. Three leot six inches from the end the end the sides are hold together by a five bv one-half inch carriage bolt, both ends of which are let into the wood so that they will not injure the bark on the limbs of the trees. Tho first rung, ten inches long, is placed twenty inches be low the bolt, pn 1 the last run is eigh teen inches long, those between being of graduated length. Theso ladders can be run ui) into a tree and under tlio branches anywhere without injuring the tree or shaking down the lnnt. lhero is no patent on them, so that any ono can make one for himself. Fall Feeding of Bees A western apiar ist well says that the average bee-keeper doa not hko tho work of feeding sugar syrup to his bees in tho fall to insure tliotn against starvation, because of tho attention, and usually practiced, tho puttering work it takes, lo any such let this word of caution be dropped : now is tho time to prepare against having this to do. While honey is coming in and the surplus being stored, a low brood combs filled with honey should be re moved from your best colonies and set to one side that they may bo ready to give to those light in stores later on. lhero l? probably no more satisfactory way than this method of fall feeding. It is easily and quickly done, and does not tncito robbery. Unless a lawn is seeded to grasses that can endure constant mowing, as well as a dry season, it becomes unsightly in stead of ornamental. When seeded down in tho spring it becomes at times neces sary to grow oats, wheat or some grain crop on the lawn in order to shelter the young glass from the effects of the noon day sun in dry weather. Tins mav bo avoided if the seed is sown in tho fafl, at which period'of the year the ra'ns are usually plentiful, and the young grass is not so easily overrun with weeds. Should the grass notmako a good "catch" tho ground may again bo seeded over in tho spring by simply scratching the sur face with a rake, but it is seldom that seed bowii in September fails, if a plonti- uii supply oi seen no useu and the ground pro(erly piepared. - It is now stated tho contract reoniro- nienta of tho Baltimro of 9000 horso-pow-erhavo not been fulfilled by about twenty or thirty horso-iovor.
