For potato culture, manure tho land In the 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 ronew h. By planting the rod raspberry, bee keepers would have ono of the best two pastures known, and u crop of fruit also. Common wheat flour made into paste with cold water, applied dry, will, take out grease Rjxits without injuring. tho moBt delicate fabric. . , A strong solution of carbolic acid and water, poured into holes, kills all tire ants it touches, and the survivors imme diately take themselves off. To Btop tho bleeding of a horse or othor stock from a snag or wound, make mi ai plication of dry horse mnnuro, and it will stop tho bleeding every time. Ono pound of green eopwmis dissolved In ono quart of Iroiling water will destroy foul smells. Powdered Irorax scattered in their huunts will disiierso cockroaches. For good returns for feediag, taking ono year with another, wo would rather truHt a hunch of even, well seleetot) wetheii than any other stock on the lurm. If you want to grow a good crop of nice potatoes In your gardon, beware of aprpnte ed seed. If your seed potatoes cannot lie retarded otherwise, keep them In tho ko house or refrigorator. Any man closely ohsorvunt knows tffiit a compactly built hoe with liitht Irono. weighing from 175 to 250 pounds, iirtrw selling hog for the market ; and that these weights are the most profitable to grtfw. Ordinary buttermilk is a valuable food not only for pigs, but for the family. Jt contains 6 per cent of milk augur, nearly 1 per cent of mineral salts, as wo'lfas nitrogenous materials and a proportion of butter fat. Every young weed that comes np and is cut down is one less weed to go to seed The way to keep down wewls is to allow the seeds to germinate and then destroy1 the young plants. In this manner ttked work is easier and better performed A good way to arrsge frnit. ln for an ornamental piece, is to set ,-in a dish J,; set aglijiw J sh, around ,ri of mossij tumbler in the center of the dish and over It rut a thick layer of then not nearly so much fruit will bo re quired, and tt can be arranged very hand somely. Baked Beans : Soak one quart of beans in water ovor night : in the morning put them in an iron kettle with one-half pound of nalt pork and water to cover, When tender, but not broken, take out of the liquor with a skimmer and put in a iNiKiug pan with the pork ou top and bake until brown. White Monntain Cake : Two cups of sugar, ono cupot butter, ono cup of sweet milk, four egjjs. four cups of flour, two toasHX)ntuls of talking row dor. Cream, butter and sugar together, add tbe beaten yolks, then the milk, Hour with the bak ing power sifted through it, and last the lieaten whites; llavoriiiK. Bake in one jioai. I Rosin in soap is a fraud. It mukes poor soap hard and greatly lessons the i cost. Some say that rcwin improves soap ; because of the turpentine in it. They i might as well say a dry bone makes good fixd because of the meat that was on it once. Tliero is no turpentine in rosin ; ! it was all taken out in the making, and the rosin discolors and hhh1h white goods I and shrinks woolens. -But turpentine in small quantities added to boiling clothes, sweetens them and improves tho color. The (rest lioys and girls we have cvor i known on the farm were those whose j parents gave them un interest in some i thing to raise or cultivate as their own. ; To a Iwy eseciully, tho feehng of owner- i ship is a happy, proud, hopeful one. Ho feels that ho lias something to work for, to look forward to. Tho pig will in duo time become a fat, marketable hog, the little lamb a fine wool-bearing sheep, tho colt a handsome horse, the chickens grow to profitable hens, and tho "alf into a fine milk cow. Parents, give your chil dren a chance in this direction, and your farms will bo better cultivated and your homes made happier by it. Something to Eat Between talks: Hore is another sweet dish thoroughly to sea son. Tako three pounds of sweet al monds, two rounds and a half of crushed sugar, aud one jround of strawlstrrics. Pound the almonds into a kind of paste, and mix them with sugar. Add the juice of tho strawlierries, which must le prev iously crushed. "Place the pan contain ing tiicse different ingredients on u slow fire, nnd stir them up continuously. When the paste seems to buva obtained a certain consistency, take it out of tho pun and spread it out on a baking board jrowdored 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 jrieces, and put them till hot and crisp, into tho kitchener, and then serve. Coceoa as Food : As an article of food woa (hirers essentially from both tea and coffee. While only an infusion of thoso substances is used, leaving a largo pro jrortion of thoir total weight uneonsumed, the entire substance of tho cocoa seeds is prepared as an emulsion for drinking, and the whole is thus utilized with tho system. Whilo the contents of a cup of tea or coffee can only( ho regarded as stimulant in ita effect,' mid almost en tirely destitute of essential nutritive prop erties, a cup of prepared cocoa is really a most nourishing article of diet, as, in ad dition to tho valuo of tho theobromine it contains it introduces into the system no inconsiderable proportion of "valuublo nitrogenous and oleaginous dome nts. PORTLAND MARKET. FAVORABLE REPORTS FROM ALL SECTIONS. Coffee Quotations Remain About Steady -Sugars all Around Have Bad a Slight Advanoe-The Wool Market Very Quiet. From all accounts tho weather is most' propitious for crops of ull kinds, espoeiolly tho early fruits, which huvo lrcon some damaged by tho rains of late, and the only obstacle to the farmers reaping tho bene fit of another profitable harvest is, the present prospect of a low price for wheat, hut as this Is early in tho season to prog nosticate, they rely upon hoo.
