There 1h a time when it Is snfs to prune most varities of decldious fruit tiees, and that time is when the wood is ripe and while the tree is in a dormant condition. In removing crops from the soil we take away plant food. This is the chief cause of soil exhaustion. Lack of fertil ity is commonly due In a large part or en tirely to lack ol plant food. Cotton-seed meal will not do for hog feed, as the lint bulls In the stomach, and cannot lie voided. This objection to cotton-seed meal is not applicable to domes tic animals other than the hog. Bread for Soup: Cut slices of stale bread into small squares, throw in boil ing lard and fry till brown. Skim out, druin, and put in soup tureen liefore serv ing the soup. For oyster soup, crackers crisped in tho oven are nice, If the space between rows of groie vines is occupied by strawberry pluutA, currant bushes or weeds, do not wondor that the gruHs do not riien early. The sun's rays must reach the earth und keep it warm if early ripening is desired. . If leets or carrots are not up it may bo that the ground was too cold when the seed was put in. It is lietter to replant than to lose the crop. Ihey' should Ih grown as stock food, and as a lurge yield can lie secured they will pay well. Old ewes may bo sold if the lambs are weaned. Only strong, vigorous ewes should lie retained. Select those that yielded plenty of milk for the lumbs for breeding pur)OHiB, and sell off the rams in order to infuse new blood in the flock. If you dissolve bones by fouling them in a strong potimh lye and then use dry earth or leached ashes as im absorbent, you gut a fertilizer or compost, rich in both phosphoric acid and potash. It will contain also most of the nitrogen which wub in the bones. The liquid manure is more vuluuble than the solids, and a liberal use of ab sorbent material will aid in arresting it loss. It should be saved carefully, and a drain at the rear of the stalls should conduct it to some kind of a receptacle from which it may be pumped over tho manure heap. Tho early lumhs are now in demand. Feed those that ure not up to weight woll and push them into market as soon as possible. A daily ration of two parts ground oats, one part corn meul, and u small proortion of linseed meal will lie excellent for them. They should have a good pasture, There is as much art in the work of improving the drones of a hive us to en deavor to secure better queens. Some swarms of bees are too inbred to endure hard winters. In the nutural condition bees are hardy, but when their care is in the hands of the liee-keepor his judgment is important, and he can do much to add vigor to the swarms. Choeolute Meringue Pudding: Boil one pint of rich milk, and a half teacup ful of butter, one teueupftil of sugar and three ounces of grated choeolute ; let it boil and when cool add tho whites of four eggs; pour this in a pudding dish lined with slices of sponge cake und bake; cover with meringue und let it brown. Eat with lemon sauce. The dairy interests of the United States ropresont more thon $3,000,000,000. The numler of milk cows is estimated at 24,000,000, which give un aggriguta milk production of 7,350,000,000 gullons. Four billion gallons aro used for butter ; 700, 000,000 for cheeso and tho balance for various purposes. The anuuul produc tion of butter 1,350,000,000 hiiii1s, and tl,500,X)0 pound of chees. This immense dairy herd requires 100,000,000 acres of pasture land to sup(Kirt it. Top-Dressing Wheat in Spring: It is sometimes a good plan to tojwlruss win ter wheat in the spring. It is better still doubtless to do the work in the full, but manure is not then to be hud, and if the wheat is all there after its winter's ex posure it will pay to give it a further lift. Choose a time when the ground is either frozen or has thoroughly dried so it will not poach. Then draw the manure in a wagon provided with wido tires. If the surface is dry the wheels will not sink in to hurt. The manure will greutly help the clover as well as the wheat. We have known farmers to find a profit in drilling in 150 pounds of suiierphosphate on the wheat in spring. The drill was driven so thut its teeth cut the ridges be tween the rows made in drilling the seed the previous full. In this wise probably breaking the surface of the soil did nearly as much good ns the fertilizer, as is proven by tun benefit often received from dragging wheat fields ill the spring. If sheep are toldcd, and given attention, a crop of millet or Hungarian grass will be invaluable to them. Mr. Stewart, the woll known authority on sheep, states thut when the crop is eight inches high sheep may be allowed to eat off four or five inches. Hurdles should lie used, and moved daily in order to avoid hav ing the sheep eat too cIobo to the roots. In this way it will grow anew, and cover the ground more completely than before. It is estimated that a good crop will pro duct fllwut ten tons of green fodder per aero, and posture fltty sheep from one to two months. Jt is udvisiible, for sheep pasture, to use Hungarian grass, and to hurdle the sheep in blouks of aliont twenty-five. Cows und horses are also fond of green food, and as tho final cut ting may bo mudo lute, a succession is had during tho entire summer. H is not advisable to grow those crops whore clover and other grosses aro more suit able, but tho advantage they possess is that of lieing sown late and growing rapidly, making their crops in a single season unu uuring uie warmest penoa oi the summer as they delight in warmth and endure drought woll. PORTLAND MARKET. PROSPECTS NOT SO ASSURING AS A MONTH AGO. Provisions Firm-Fruits of all Kind are Plentiful and Very Oneap-Vory Little Doins In Dried Fruit -Fresh Meats H Inner. It is currently reported thut in several sections eust of tho Cascades the exces sive boat has severely injured the crops, and that proBects of another bountiful harvest are not so reassuring us a month ugo. Tho Columbia rlvtr Bulmon pack down to June 1 is given at 22,000 fuses less than last year; the run of sulmon on the Sacramonto has also foten short, so that Alaska connnrymen stand a good chance of making handsome profits.
