A GOOD MARKET CROSS. 1'xpcriments made by crossing an Indian pa.ne male with Plymouth Kock hens, the past season, resulted in some very choice table birds, and which sold readily in the market. The only objection was tho lc;;gy appearance of the chicks when about half grown, but their appearance did not indicate truly their wei-lit, as every one weighed at least half a pound moro than other chicks of the same age, from different crosses, while their quality was far above that of any other market cross made. The game improves all other breeds for the table, but tho chicks seem to be somewhat tender when young. Man chester Mirror and Farmer. KKET A RECORD OF KKWLT-8KT TREES. It is not good policy to trust wholly to memory or labels fcr the record of newly set trees. In setting a new orchard or filling in an old one, or setting various kinds of trees about the house, make a record of it in a book kept for the pur pose and placed where it will be acces sible at all times. The same applies to mall fruits. This record will not only be an aid to the one who plants them, but to those who may take his place. Also note the date of planting, and how old they were when set. Borne tree3 and vines need to be trimmed and man aged diflereutly from others, to obtain the best results, and to know just where they arc located is a good thing. Plants ami shrubbery with long, difficult names should also be recorded in tho book, with both the common and botanical name. Uecord the season of bloom j and if any special care or cultivation is recon.meuded, write it out, or, what is better, paste in the printed directions with your notes.

Tho hogs arc especially fond of it, and as it is good for them there is no reason why the weed should not be givou to them. All farmers arc more or less acquainted with the weed aud know full well how it thrives. When they are killing the weeds, and if it can be doue without dancer to crops, let the hogs havo the run ot tho Held. Then watch and see what a perlect picnic tho porkers will have. If it is not possible to give the pigs the run of the fields gatner all tho weeds possible and throw it to them. We know of a farmer who makes it a prac tice to go every mcrning and pull a good amount of the weeds for the pigs. lie claims that in the morning is the best time to give them this food, and says they enjoy it more. But we think the time of day to give the pigs the weeds is immaterial, and the best time is when you think you havo enough weeds col lected for them. American Farmer. WINTERING FRUIT WOOD. Crapes can be grown even in tho coldest sections, if the vines are laid down on the soil in November, so as to be cov eted with suow, and this is an easy mat ter with their pliant stems. Proiessor Budd says that peach trees have been fruited in Iowa by using the same preservative means. Their stiff, branchy nature ill adapts them to lying down, but this difficulty, as explained in tho I!ural New Yorker, is overcome by reducing the young tree to a single bare stem after one year's growth. This stem is bent flat to the ground late in the fall ; the roots being bent or cut to make it practicable. About five feet of the stem remain permanently horizontal and the point grows upward and is allowed to branch j but chiefly in Hue with the pros trate stem, ar.d is staked to hold it erect. In the next fall the top is easily bent down to one side or the other and held flat by billets of wood. The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can be fruited with similar care to let only three or four canes grew in a hill in summer and to weight these down for the win ter. It ii best not to cover any of such laid down shoots with eaith as, f mild weather occurs before April, the fruit buds may swell and rot. A difficulty in the rase of the beach tree is its tendency to umking rank growth late in summer, which caacot ripen well. The bending and training indicated above are likely to check this over production of soft wood and to induce more flowering buds aud shoots. SALT MAKES MOKE MILE. It is being reported as something new tb'it the giving of salt to cows has tho cllcct of increasing the yield of milk. Theie U nothiug new in this except to thebe ptrs&ns who are beginner in the business of keeping cows, or who do not read a paper in which any information ou this subject is regularly given. It is a very simple mutter. Milk is made only from the food that is digested. If the food is not oi ited, not only is there a lorn of umt.t.l of which milk may be raai.e, uut tuu cow does not feci well. Both tlicbe nr-' conducive to a decrease of tiie milk. B it when a cow is recti larlv supplied, with salt, not onlv is she satisfied with this gratilication of her tactei aud inclinations, but the digestion of the food is perfect, and i!o result is that the milk yield is up to the highest point. The digestive fluid consists iu pari of a hydrochloric acid, of whic'i suit is partly made up, aud thus this iadis. peuhable agent of digestion is supplied to the cow.. Salt is thus as much a food as suuar, which gat-s eo largely to main Uui llw vilaJ Ik at tuii sjpjjoii U-v, uud it should be given to all animals that do not live wholly on animal food, and in proportion to the amount of vegetable food they consume. The staple supply determined upon by experts is two ounces for a cow, one ounce for a horse, a dram for a sheep per day, and a small quantity at intervals of a few days for swine and poultry. The quantity given to a cow is for the reason that she gives milk Which contains salt, and thus needs more than a horse, but a mare that is nursing foal should have an increased allowance, although this is rarely thought of. American Dairyman. EXPERIMENTS WITH OATS. Experiments have been made at the Illinois station on rate and depth of seeding, and tests of varieties of oats. All weomadeon the fertile dark-colored soil of the station grounds. Welcome oats were sown on seven plats, each one by sixteen rods, at the rate of from one to four bushels per acre. The yields of both grain and straw for each of the four years the experiment has been in pro gress and the averages of the four years are tabulated for each rate of seeding. ine largest yield ot grain in loVl was from sowing three and one-half bushels per aero with little variation between the plats sown at the rate of two, two and one-half, three, three and one-half and four bushels per acre. The average yields for four years were much the same as the above. One or one and a half bushels gave smaller average yields than any of trie Heavier seedings. The weight of the grain per bushel was less in the case of the light seeding. As to depth of covering the indica tions were that the returns were slightly oetter trom covering two inches deep, though in trials for four years the best results have not come from covering the same depth in any two years. i ne average yield per acre in tests of forty-four varieties on fifty-five plats in 1890 and 1891 was 66.6 bushels of grain, weighing 33.5 pounds per bushel, and 2840 pounds of straw. Tho early-maturincr varieties are those harvested July 6 to 14 j the medium, July 16 to 20, and the late, July 24 to 30. The early-maturing varieties are superior to either the medium or late in the average yield of both grain and straw, the weight per bushel and size of berries, but are inferior to either of these in per cent, of kernel ; the dun-colored gave the smallest yield and the largest per cent, of kernel. As to the panicles, open or closed, the latter are superior in yield of both grain and straw and also in per cent, of kernel. As to weight per bushel, those which weigh less than thirty-two pounds are superior in both yield and per cent, of kernel. Notwithstanding the common belief to the contrary, it is said those oats which weigh least to the bushel have usually the highest per cent, of kernel and consequently the highest food value. Thirty varieties have been tested for three years and fourteen ad ditional for two years. No one variety has been shown to be greatly superior to all others. A different variety stood first in yield in each of the three years. -JNCW xorK World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Tomatoes should not grow too much ine. Potatoes should be kept in the coolest and darkest place possible. Low-growing vegetables may be cul tivated between berry bushes. The wool from well fed sheep is much better than from half-starved ones. When transplanting, have the roots straight and in their natural position. There is no profit in letting bees make wax. Honey is what is wanted, not wax. Tomato leaves are also said to make a good insecticide it ateeped in water and sprinkled over plants. Poorly kept sheep will not make the owner rich, nor do much towards build ing up the fertility of tho soil. The wood queen-excluders do not seem to take much. The bees enlarge the cuts and the queens go above. If the weeds have started up in the wheat fields in many cases it will be found a good plan to turn in the sheep. If the fowls get too fat give them some grain not rich in carbo-hydrates. Oats as a single food will tend to lessen the fat. See that the poultry exhibited at the fairs have airy coops. If they are neat and uuiform in size the display will show oil better. Excelsior the material used by upholsterers is said to be an excellent .thing for beekeepers. When ignited it makes a dense smoke. If you have late hatched turkeys it will be welt to see that they do not get into the grass until the dew is off even though the sun is bright. The cause of the death of bees in a hivo is quite often due to starvation. And what may seem worse, the owner of the apiary rarely knows the cause. In shipping poultry do not crowi the coops too full. Besides the sufferings caused the fowls, the death of two or three will take oQ the expected profits uud cause disappointment. Cult' vate late potatoes the same as the spring crop. As an advantage to the potato, level cultivation is best, but when slightly ridged or hilled they can be more easily plowed out. If tho garden is well planned, three crops can be secured in one season, but the ground must be kept occupied. As soou as oue crop has matured another must be ready to take its place. To give permanency and uniformity to the ideal type that has boen adopted, selections for breeding must bo strictly confined to animals having tho desired characters, within the limits of a dis tinct breed, or of a single family ot s distinct breed. AVhere the attack on corn by bill- bugs is limited to small areas the application of a handlul of sand saturated with kerosene around each of tho hills will ofteclmlly rid the field of them, rains carrying the oil dowu iutj the and ailing the. buy.

Those coverings are out in the shape of the brush part of the broom, over which thoy are slipped, the sides are left open and tied with pieces of tape In three or four places, so that they may be easily removed when washing is necessary or the broom is re quired for harder sweeping thsn the soft flannel will allow. Now York World. HINTS OH CARVINO. It is pleasant to see a woman carve, If she docs it deftly; there seems something appropriate and almost Scriptural in a woman's dispensing food to her house hold. English women nearly always carve, but in this country the work is al most invariably relagatcd to tho men. To save strength, time and pationco in carving it is absolutely necessary to have a sharp knife. As a general rule cut across the grain. A turkey should be placed with the head toward the right hand of the carver. The breast is generally cut in slices parallel with the breastbone; but if tho turkey is largo, first cut the wings off close to the body and then cut across. A good way to keen a knife perfectly sharp, and make your husband think you give hint the tenderest of joints, is to use a Title," such as the farmers sharpen their scythes upon. A few turns on this will give an edge that will cut through anything. New York Tribuue. TJNnARMFCLNESS OF CAKE. Cake of the simple kinds, esoeciaUv sponge, is aud can be frequently givon to the sick. Good snoncre cake served with sweet cream or a class of milk is an excellent lunch for an invalid. Somo of the plain kinds of butter cakes those made with a little butter such as white, 'foather" and similar va rieties are really excellent food. Con sider for a moment what they contain: t-ggs, mUk, butter, sugar and flour five of the most valuable of all our food products. Yet there are those who pride them solves upon not eating cake. This idiosyncrasy can only bo explained in one or two ways. Either the cake which they havo had has not been properly made or else it has been so good that during a lapse of judgment they have eaten too much. The dark fruit cakes are to be avoided by both sick and well on account of the indigestible nature of the dried fruits used in them, and also because they are generally very compact aud heavy, not light. There is a custom prevalent in many kitchens of using what is called "cook ing butter," that is, butter which is off taste or rancid. If you havo no other butter for cake, don't make any. Cake made with that will not come under the head of "unharmful." Sweet butter and fresh eggs, not "store" eggs, are abso lutely necessary. Also is needed a dainty thinker to oil the pan in which it is to be baked, so thr.t the outside of the cake shall not taste of tho fat. Many an otherwise good, harmless cake has been spoiled by doing this with dirty or rancid grease. Use sweet but ter or sweet olive oil. Chicago News Record. RECIPES.

Tbe dawning truth that the drink evil Is a disease, and curable as other diseases are, has passed the firs: period ot neglect, Indif ference, and denial, and has come to tbe sec ond stage ot partial recognition and accep tance. The same army of tho credulous, the enthusiasts, aud marvel-hunters are welcom ing this fact, and tho same wild expectations ot its practical possibilities fill the air. This is followed by the aims old charlatanism and empiric elforts to make personal profit out of these truths by the use of the same old quackish means and methods. These efforts are prominent by the same assumption ot sujienor knowledge ot discov ery of new facts, of new remedies, and new methods, all of which are concealed . Then follow claims ot extraordinary cures under extraordinary conditions the proof of wuica depends alone on the statements of the cured. Then comes the old story ot persecution by physicians and scientist.--, and of posing as martyrs, public benefactors, and pio neer discoverers, with indirect appeals lor sympathy from tho broad and liberal minded. Back of all this is a pecuniary Held actively tilled which yields rich har vests, and altogether it is the same old fam ily history of empiricism, which is always to be found on the advancing frontiers of science.
