TUE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Mnklm Trees Fruitful. Tho question is ofton asked why thrifty-looking trees don't bear fruit, and a desire expressed that fruit could be hd from them. Oftentimes there is too much hurry for fruit in such cases. We have known owners of trees discon tented, when, in our opinion, there lmd been no time lost. A tree hurried into bearing is injured in its growth thereby, as growth Cloot not proceed so rapidly when fruit-bearing is going on. But sometimes it is desirable to have fruit even at the expenss of growth, or a tree may be in such rich soil as to keep up a rampant growth too long, and in such cases food must be withheld from the tree in some way. When no other way seems open, root pruning is sometimes resorted to. The supply of food is shortened in that way. Care should be exercisei that no large roots should be taken off to endanger the stability cf the tree. rots, turnips, potatoes and cabbage, ashes are an essential manure. rebuire; they neutralize acids; they act for four years, he could, by placing his chemically as solvents npon other salts five-cent pieces side by side, make a in the soil.

It must be clear that Mr. Vanderbilt is making money, for while we were making these computations he took in one hundred and four dollars and ten cents. Apple ton's Railway (Juide. Fntlenlnir Fowl. What a different taste a fine, nicely and quickly fatted fowl has when served on the table, compared with one which has been forced to scratch for all its living, and then be consigned to the spit in anything but a lit condition for food I Farmers realize the importance of fattening quickly when feeding beeves for the butcher, yet many do not seem to realize the fact that what holds good with that kind of meat is equally true when applied to fowls. Tender ness and juciness are results of fattening quickly, while mere ordinary flavor and wantol tenderness result from letting fowls run until wanted for use on the table. To enable one to fatten fowls or chicks quickly it is absolutely neces sary to give such food n3 will accom plish the purpose best, and to this end we unhesitatingly recommend plenty of milk, in any state from fresh to thick. This should be feu in connection with a grain diet, for one counteracts the other. If kept in a darkened place and fed un sparingly on milk, with grain food in the proper proportions, you will soon have something very choice to set upon your table to your friends, as well as to your family. 'When milk is fed no water is required for fattening fowls. Poultry Yard, Potnlorn. In order to have the best success in growing potatoes.and to secure a healthy, vigorous growth and crop free from rot, savs Thorbnrn, it is necessary to plant as early as the ground can be got ready. Select a rich soil and plant m rows three feet apart and the sets one foot in the rows. To kill the young weeds, run a light steel tooth harrow over the field lengthwise of the rows ; this will allow the crop to get the start of the weeds, besides breaking up all lumps and leveling the ground for the cultivator. If wood u-Jius and plaster can be procured sow a good dressing over tue neld after the potatoes are up. If a very early crop is desired it will be necessary to sprout the potatoes before planting. Cut the potatoes into pieces of any size desirable ami place in warm, light room from four to six weeks before required for planting m the open ground. During this time shoots will start out strong and vigorous, so that as soon as planted thoy will send out roots and crow more rapidly than thoRe treat ed in the ordinary way. Another method is to place the sets in a hotbed two weeks before they are wanted, and then lift carefully and set out on fresh horse dung, so that the heat will caHse them to start at once. If the Colorado po tato beetle makes its appearance the vines must be dusted with paris green mixed with about eighty parts of plas ter, or, what is better, mix the paris green in water, two tablespoonfuls to a pail, and apply with a small brush or broom. Take care to mix the mixture often or else the paris green will settle at the bottom. Two or three applica tions during the season will usually suf fice to clear off all the beetles. Heel pen.

The value of agricultural salt as a fertilizer, it would appear, is becoming widely recognized, judging from tho steadily increasing demand.

A neglected, poorly-fed, stinted lamb never recovers, however well-fed after ward, so fcto make as good and as large a sheen -as it would had it had proper care rtirly. Feed the ewes so that they can supply tho lambs with plenty of milk. The best place for turnips is a spot on which brush has recently been burn ed. The soil is fresh, cool and moist and the ashes aid not only as a fertil izers for the very elements that turnips require, but it keeps away the fly. Do not sow in a dry time. Clover is a nitrogeneous and also a potash plant, clover hay containing more of these elements than the best English hay, although the former will not sell for near as much as the latter, consequently clover hay should never be sold off the farm. Eancid butter may be recovered and sweetened by washing and kneading it well first in new milk, and afterward in cold spring water, butyric acid, on which the rancidity depends, being freely soluble in new milL. The above recipe has been found to answer perfectly, Strawberry plants cannot be multi plied from the seed, as there is nothing certain about it. Acres might be sowed with the seed, and not a berry be obtained worth cultivating, but in good rich soil a plant will put out run' ners so that fifty good thrifty plants - may be obtained the first season after planting, and twenty-five hundred the second year. A writer in the Fruit Reeorder circum vents the ravaging currant worm by al lowing no sprouts to grow. He allows but three main stems to a bush, and rubs off all root sprouts when about six inches long. The worms begin with the new growth first; hence, -he says, no sprouts, nc Worms. The fruit also is far finer on plants thus treated, the common red Dutch being nearly as large as the Cherry currant, and a better , bearer. .'In nearly all soils ashes are beneficial.

To wash a fine cambrio handkerchief, embroidered in colored silks, so tha the colors do not run, the secret is to wash in a soap lather very quicklv, wring thoroughly, and then iron, so that it dries at once. There should be no soaking, and tho embroidered corner should be ken1, out of the water as much as possible. A little alum in the water will make the process more sure. A rorlugiieso ISuII-Fight. A Portuguese bull-fight is a very dif ferent affair from the disgusting and brutal national sport of Spain. The Portuguese are a humane people ; and though the spectacle was originally con ducted in Spanish style, it was not long popular, and now neither bulls nor horses are killed, and the buil-fighters run very little risk, as cylinders ending in wooden knobs cover the animal's horns, and it can only inflict a knock down blow, instead of piercing and tear ing. Tho honor of this reform is due to Pombal, who interceded with King Joseph I., and induced him to discon tinue tho sport in the murderous Spanish style, on the occasion of the death of the Count d'Arcos in an ama teur bull-fight. It is related that when the father of the young count, the aged Marquis Mirialva, grand chamberlain of the king, saw his son fall, he threw himself into the arena and killed the bull with his dress sword ; and that Pombal remarked to the king that tho life of a bull was not, after all, a fair equivalent for that of tho Count d Arcos, Pombal's administration was sowed thick with reforms, which have blos somed since, though received coldly at the time. The limiting tho power of the Inquisition, the abolition of slavery, and the expulsion of tho Jesuits are all due to Pombal. Few ministers can show a more energetic record than this. To an amateur of the combats of tho Span ish aceldima the Portuguese exhibition must seem remarkablv tamo and in sipid, while, looked at from a rational, common-sense standpoint, they are in deed "singular exhibitions of imbecility on the part of all concerned. isut the Ldsbonese revel m the sport ; the risks are still sufficiently exciting to stir the blood, and the display, especially when the performance is an amateur one, and the young men taking part belong to the nobility,isvery brilliant. Then the arena is handsomely decorated, the costumes of the periormers are of velvet and satin, tho horses are the finest in the kingdom, and the feats of horse' manship displayed rival those o the circus. Koyalty honors the scene by attendance, and the beauty and lash ion of Lisbon shine in full opera dress in the upper boxes, their white elbows resting on richly embroidered silk shawls which drape the lront ot the boxes in graceful folds. The compan ionship of prize-fighters, and pugilistic skill of this description, are not consid ered unworthy the most elegant and ac complished Portuguese noble. The Princess ltattazzi, in her recent pub lished and greatly censured "Portugal a Vol d'Oiseau," speaks of the Marquis of Castel Melhor, tho last descendant ol an ancient family, and after praising his refinement and cultivation, remarks: " In the bull-fights organized by ama teurs he shone in the first rank as horseman, and inserted the farpas with an art and a dexterity which awaken ed frantic applause and secured him great popularity. This circumstance added to the regrets caused by his death. It was not oulv a loss to ele gant society, it was felt by the people themselves." LUiie W. Champnet, in Harper's Magazine. ODDITIES.

Two streams, one starting from a region where the soil is ferruginous, the other from a peat swamp, meet and form tue river, whose inky consistency is due to tho mixing of the iron aud gallic acid which tho two tributary streams re spectively contain. Industrial Secrets. A century ago what a man discovered m the arts he concealed. Workmen were put upon an oath never lo reveal tho process used by their emplovers, Doom were kept closed, artisans going out were searched, visitors were rigor ously excluded from admission, and false operations blinded tho workmen themselves. The mysteries of every craft wero hedged in by thick-set fences of empirical pretensions and judicial af firmation. 1 he royal manufactories of porcelain, for example, were carried on in Europe with a spirit of jealous ex clusiveness. His majesty of Saxony was especially circumspect. Not content with the oath of secrecy imposed upon his workpeople, ho would not abate his kingly suspicion in favor of a brother monarch. Neither king nor king's del egate might enter the tabooed walls of Missen. What is erroneously called the Dresden porcelain that exquisito pot tery of which tho world has never seen its like was produced for two hundred years by a process so secret that neither the bribery of princes nor the garrulity of the operatives revealed it. Other discoveries have been less successfully guarded, fortunately for tho world. The manufacture of tinware in England originated in a stolen secret. Few readers need be informed that tin ware is simply thin iron plated with tin by being dipped into the molten metal, Iu theory it is an easy matter to clean tho surface of iron, dip it into a bath of boiling tin, remove it enveloped with a silvery metal to a place of cooling. In practice, however, the process is one cf the most difficult in the arts. It was discovered in Holland, and guarded from publicity with the utmost vigilance for more than half a century. England tried in vain to discover the secret until James Sherman, a Cornish miner, in sinuated himself master of the secret, and brought it home. The secret of manufacturing cast steel was also stealthily obtained, and is now within the reach of all artisans. A test of the capacity and inclination of American college students and grad uates for practical journalism is about to be made. Mr. W. R.

What Vanderbilt Could do Willi Ills Iucojiev It is computed that Wm. H. Vander- bilt's income from his investment in fifty-one million four per cent, govern ment bonds pays him a daily income of five thousand dollars. This nets him two hundred and eight dollars and thirty-three cents per hour, or three dollars and forty-seven cents per min ute, or five cents per second, without counting fractions. Assuming that he is paid by the second, he cannot pos sibly spend his money, a he could not select his purchases and lay down the prices fast enough. He couldn't even throw it away to picK up, cast, re cover, pick up and cast again, would take him two seconds, and if he worked throughout the twenty-four hours with' out rest he could only dispose of one half his income. If it were his design. to scatter in such a way, he would have to buy a machine operated by steam This would involve the employment of a hreman, a engineer and two feeders, and, as the machine must work day and night to accomplish the task, three re liefs, or twelve men, would be neces sary. As none but skilled workmen could do such work, the daily expense tor hire would be three dollars each, or thirty-six dollars per day. To pay these hands it would only be necessary to stop the machine a fraction over ten minutes per day, just long enough to pay on, and enough money would aeon mulate. There is a possibility that Mr. Van derbilt does not intend to throw his money away by steam, and it might be worth while to loot into various ways: in which he might amuse himself with it. By living economically, saving up Poison from bees, hornets, spider- bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the application of equal parts of common salt and bicarbonate of soda, well rubbed in on the place bitten or stung. A standing antidote for poison by dew, poison oak, ivy, etc., is to take a handful of quicklime, dissolve in water, let it stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned parts with it. Three or four applications will never fail to cure the most aggravated cases. The London Medical Journal insists that Bright's disease is the result of the immoderate use of iced drinks, and seeks to prove this with figures showing that the disease prevails in any couutry in proportion with the amount of ice consumed there. We of the United States use ninety per cent, more ice than any European country, and. the disease is seventy-five per cent, worse than in Europe. England comes next, while in the wine-drinking countries the disease is very seldom seen, and in semi-civilized nations, where ice is not used, it is wholly unknown. An improved kind of glue dressing for wounds has recently been suggested, consisting in the addition of acetic acid to ordinary glue, and a little attar of roses to cover the odor of the glue and the acid. This compound, spread on paper or muslin, is found to furnish a good substitute for adhesive plaster in surgical use. It is easily and quickly prepared, simply by putting into a ves sel of boiling water a bottle containing one part of glue to four, my measure, of the acid, and lettmpf the bottle re main in this bath until the glue is fully dissolved and mixed with the acid. It is best kept in a wide-mouthed bottle, well closed by a lonsr cork, which can always be removed by heating the neck oi the bottle. On the subject of preparing drinks lor fever patients, an exchange says Drinks made from fresh or preserved fruits are sometimes useful in fevers. Rhubarb tea is a very refreshing bever age. Slice about two pounds of rhubarb, and boil for a quarter of an hour in quart of water; strain the liquor into a jug, adding a small quantity of lemon peel, and some sugar to taste; when cold it is fit for use. Apple water may be made in the same manner. The apples should be peeled and cored Sugar should not be added to either of the above until after the liquor is re moved from the fire,. In the absence of fresh fruit, a pleasant beverage may be prepared by stirring sufficient rasp berry jam or currant jelly into the re- uired quantity on. water, straining the iquor before giving it to the patient.
