Stoolt Feed The Potato Beetle-How to Destroy Crab Grafts Roots for Feeding Roadside Trees. One of the essotftlals of soiling is a fer tile sou. Every farm ought to have Us experi mental patch, A rod of Ixirbed wire, In place of a box protects trees against horses and smal boys. ,.. . . , Thin out all surplus plants in the hot beds If they are crowded, and thoso re maining will Income more stocky. The hotlied may be loft open during the day at tills season. The best food for making hens lay is a pound of lean meat, chopped tino, given three times a week to a hock of twenty hens. But very little grain is required at this season. Corn Pudding: Two cups of canned corn, one pint of milk, two eggs, salt to taste. Jieat the eggs until very iignt add the other Ingredients ; put the mix ture In a tmttered pudding dish, and bake about forty minute. The fall colt can lie turned on the pas ture, and will cost but little. A mess of oats at night, with hay, is all it requires. Mares intended for spring work should always foal In the fall in order that the colt may )e weaned in spring. Sorrel thrives at this season and crab grass later on. Keep it down at all costs, in order to lessen tho number of plants noxt season. When crab grass opjiears It' is easily destroyed when young. Con stant cultivation Is tho only remedy for both. If vou have any corn fodder the sheep will pick it over and clean the Btalks. If the fodder is bright and clean all classes of stock w ill relish it If the fodder is run through tho cutter and the stalks crushed by the cutter there will be but little waste. The clover field is the place for the pigs that have been weaned. They will need very little other food. A mess of skimmed milk, or buttermilk, with a small quantity of ground oats at night, will cauBe the pigs to grow rapidly if they have the run of clover. The potato beetle will attack the egg plant in preference to anything else, and unless some plants are cnreiuiiy wntcneu and the beetles picked off they will des troy the plants in less than a day. To save the plants they should lie examined two or three times a day. When many want to sell is a good time to bur. and when many want to buy is a good time to sell ; for many sellers .make good prices, followed in due season by small supply and good prices ; and many buyers make good prices, loiioweu in uue season by large supply and low prices. There is no color on the horse which is so insensible to the heat as tho sorrel There is seldom any coat so silky or re sponds so nuieklv as the sorrel, nut more important still, there is seldom any horse with such sound feet and limbs, or possessing the endurance of the sorrel. Glared Beef: Set the beef that has lecn kept from the soup to glace in a moderate ovon for stout an hour, biking care to tosto the surface once la a while with the broth and some condensed liecf buolllon ; drain on a dish, take off the fat, strain and reduce the liquid to the consistency of a demi-glace sauce with a littlo morn broth and two ladlefuls of tomato sauce. Put Borne mashed iKitatoes on a round platter, set the heel in the middle, pour some of the sauce over, and serve. Butter or string beanB, If cooked and pickled according to these directions, are delicious. Wash them and steam them until they are tender, but not soft j put them into a jar anil pour hot vinegar over them ; sweeten Hie vinegar ami season highly with cinnamon. Another way equally excellent, but which gives a dif ferent flavor to tne pickles, is to poii them in salted water until tender; then pour overthom tho hot vinegar which has leen sweetened, and in addition to the cinnamon has a liberal allowance of pepper ; cayenne or black may be used. Every farmer should himself under stand grafting, and be able particularly to do it. The art is simple ana easily learned. It mav not always pay the fanner to do all tho largo lobs ol gnu ting that he has to do, si nee his own time mav le worth more at something else Hut it is the little jobs, the setting of half a dozen grafts not worth sending for a professional grafter to do, that thus are neglected from year to year, simply bo cause no one is at band to do the work. Professional grafters maae good wages setting grafts at so much apiece. Most of them have an assistant who saws off the limb to bo grafted, while the grafter tits the scion to the cleft which he makes and covers the wound to oxeludo air. This and connecting the scion with the outer wood ot the branch is all the art there is in grafting. Trees by Roadsides: There is two sides to the roadside question. They are ornamental, but in early spring they of ten.shade tho road ho as to keep it muddy after places more exposed to sun and air have dried up. Besides, the trees aro often in the way of needed road improve ments, and it is hard to go around or re move them. Then if grain or root crops are grown in adjoining fields their roots draw their moisture from so long a dis tance that the crop near the fence is not worth cultivating. A row of trees planted closo enough to the line tomukoa fence ol damages a farmer in one crop more than enough to build an excellent fence. So whether trees should this spring be planted along the roadside must bo com plicated with the further question wheth er in after years the farmer or his sons can afford the expense of keoping up the ornament.
