FACTS FOR FARMERS, AORICXXTTOAl, NOTES AD HIJSTfc FOR THE HOrSEHOI.D. Eow to Make Farm 'Work laiiar and Home Brighter. It la inevitable that any grower of poultry should have more at this seev son tlian he can profitably Winter. Unless he has he must keep over some that are not suitable for breeding, and thus deteriorate his stock. The selec tion of those to be sold should be care fully made some day in advance of the time of sale. ot much select iou is poxsible if it is done the night before Thaukt-Kiving by taLing a lantern into the beiiliou.e as is too often the way. Uncultivated land is not wholly un productive. In some places jieople make more ready money in an easier way by harvesting and selling wild berries than they can by the poor farm ing methods they give to their partly exhausted cultivated land. Vet where wild berries are profitably grown, cul tivated berries of the same varieties will be still moro productive, and pay even better if properly managed. A farmer ought to be ashamed to let na ture's unassisted methods excel his best efforts. The following summary of results, as obtained by Prof. T. lluut, of the IUiuois College farm, in his experi ments iu feeding hogs, w ill be of inter est to those engaged in practical pork producing. I. It required 13.80 pounds of skim luilk to produce one pound of pork when fed with cornineal ratio one and one-seventh to fattening hogs. t. Skim-milk could not be economic ally fed to fattening hogs unless it was waste prodiK t which could iiot be otherwise utilized. 3. It required on un average four aud one-halt' pounds of shelled corn to produce one pound of pork during an average period of four weeks, or one bushel produced 13 1-2 pounds. 4. It required four and one-hall pounds of cornmcal to produce one pound of pork, or one bushel of coin made into meal ami fed will produce '.J 8-4 pound of pork. 5. When fed dry, rhelled corn is more economir.il than corn meal to feed fattening hogs. 8. It required seven and one-halt pounds, or one-fourth bushel of ground oats, to produce one pound of poi k, when fed with equal parts by Weight of corn meal. 7. One bushel of corn meal is worth nearly three busheU of oats as food for fattening hogs. 8. Corn-fed pigs gained four and one-half pounds per week, and ate about SI pouudsof corn per 100 pounds of live weight. 9. Pork was produced during the cold weather, with corn at 28 cents per bushel, for less tlmu three cents per pound. 10. An insufficient food supply fot two weeks caused a very considerable loss in feeding thereafter. II. Indian corn is the most econom ical pork-producing material during the winter months iu regions v here extensively grown. Sulphurous acid gas is one of the surest vermin exterminators and most powerful disinfectants yet discovered. Li using it great care is necessary to prevent injury from inhaling the gas, Which is a deadly poison, and from de stroying the building by fire, which Is necessary to employ for the produc tion of the gas A common kerosene stove and an old iron frying-pan are tile most convenient implements for generating the gas, particularly where foil brimstone is used. The place to be fumigated should tirst be cleared of every living thing whose life is of any value. It should then be made as nearly air-tight as possible, by closing the wludows aud chinking the crevices If any. If the building is a large one jut a pound of roll brimstone into the friug-pan. bet the stove near the Ioor, so fhat U can lo reached easily from without, light the wicks, put from one-fourth of a pound to a pound of the brimstone into the frying-pan, accord! im to the size of the room, and place the pan upon the stove. When the brimstone begins to melt, turn the w icks of the stove dowu so as to leave but a small blaze, light a match and touch to the melted brimstone, go out and shut the door. After the brim stone is consumed, which can be learned by looking through the glass window, Inflate the lungs with air, open the door just enough to reach the stove, turn the wicks down so as to extin guish the blaze, close the door again, and leave the room shut up from twelve to twenty-four hours. Be careful to bold the breath while extinguishing the fire in the stove. After keeping the room shut up long enough to be come thoroughly fumigated, open the windows from the outside, throw open the door and let it air for a few hours before venturing inside. We have tometimes fumigated a barn slightly with excellent results w ithout remov ing the stock. A small amount of the fas can be inhaled with decided, advan tage by horses suffering from epizoo 1c, farcy or greased heel. A stick of roll brimstone two and a half inches long will be sufficient to fumigate a tie-up Soxlt feet, and if occupied by cattle or horses the win dows and doors must be kept open while the brimstone is burning. When a kerosene stove is not convenient, an old iron kettle, holding several gallons, partly tilled with hot embers, can be used instead. The kettle should be placed upon a large, fiat rock, a sheet of zinc or a quantity of loam or sand, so as not to sot fire to the floor. Put a few shovelfuls of coid ashes into the bottom of the kettle, then fill it about one-third full of livo hard-wood coals. Set it in the room to be fumigated. Put some roll brimstone into an iron skillet or frying pan. Set it oa tho embers and touch a lighted match to it when it brains to melt. Flour of sul phur will answer every purpose if 3iinstoiie is not convenient. The last complaint of the great gnn iblpj is that their weapons often miss fire, owing to the failure of the two-loot long tube containing the firing charge, to carry the spark.

Prepare the peaches and the syrup aa in the foregoing recipe, using the same proportions, and before filling the jars add pint of best brandy, slightly warmed. PI ACHRS A LA STJEDOI8S. Cot a dozen'fine peaches in halves, remove the stones and, boil the peaches in white sugar syrnp; drain on s sieve and remove the skins. Cut a sandwich loaf of bread in two lengthwise, trim off all crust from one-half of it and fry this is hot butter; drain and cooL put it on flat dish, arrange the peaches on top of it, reduce the syrnp a little and pour it over the peaches. The top layer should be covered with shipped cream. Peach fritters and peach dumplings if made carefully, have not the indigest ible qualities some culinary writers would have us believe they possess. Spinach juice colors a white sauce prettily, and when poured over hard boiled eggs, sliced and laid evenly on the platter, is a tempting dish. No kitchen should be without scales to test the integrity of things purchased by weight, and to measure the quanti ties of various recipes. If sheets or tablecloths are wrung by putting the selvage through the wringer, the edges will not curl up, and they will iron much easier. A littlk kerosene oil rubbed brisklj over the spots on dark clothing will brighten the garments and remove the stains almost like magic FBOZEN PKACHSS. There are many exquisite ways ot serviDg this fruit. One is to freeze them; peel, stone and quarter the peaches, put them in a crock or freezei with alternate layers of peach sherbet or a water ice, or ice cream of any kind not too highly flavored with extracts; surround the receptacle with Ice and keep it so until wanted. r or peach pudding trim off the crust from a quantity of dry bread and grate the remainiug white part; add to a pint of it one quart of hot boiled milk, two ounces of butter, four ounces of sngar, half a teaspoonful of salt and a heap ing saltspoonful of mixed ground spice. When cool whisk into it four well beaten eggs. Peel and rlice a dozen fine peaches; add tbem to the mixture; pour it into a brown bread or deep lmduiniz mould; place it in or over a pot of hot water and steam three hours. berve either hot or cold and with an egg or cream sauce, flavored with lemon or vanilla.

I'iace the froth on a sieve to drain and keep it on ice nntil wanted. Dredge the peaches with sugar. Beat the whites of four egKs until very still, and add four ounces of powdered sngar gradually. Cover an oven board with white paper and drop the beaten eggs on it by tablespoon fills, place them over the ranee for half an hoar, then brown slightly in a slow oven, remove the soft part when they are cold and place half a peach in the cavity. Place mounds of the whipped cream on top and serve. The meringues may be filled with the cream and half a peach placed in the centre. PRACHESO A X.A CNDB. Peel and out the peaches in two and stew them in clarified sngar syrnp. Fill an oval mould with hot boiled rioe, turn the form ont on a diidi, arrange the peaches round it, and decorate with preserved cherries or other small fruits from the confectioners. Mix half a pint of the syrup with a gill each of sherry and marmalade, ponr it over the dish and serve hot. PEACHES WITH BIOE, Wash a pint of rice thoroughly, scald it with hot water, drain and cool; add to the rice a quart of rich milk, a quar ter of a pound of sngar and a saltspoon ful of salt; simmer gently three-qnar-tern ot an hour. hen done beat it with a wooden spoon.

Mix the following spices together: A teaspoonful each of whole allspice ktid cinnamon, a tablespoouful of minced green ginger, half a teaspoon ful of cloves aud one nutmeg broken into small pieces; put the mixed spice into an earthen crook and ponr on it a quart of hot vinegar, cover and let it infuse three days, stirring it daily; al low it to settle, then strain. Put into a porcelain lined kettle or pot five pounds of "C" sugar, add the spiced vinegar and boil; skim, and when no more scum rises it is ready. Do not prepare yonr peacles nntil the pickle is ready. Scald five pounds of firm but ripe poaches, wipe tbem well, boil the pickle and ponr it over the peaches; boil five minutes, add the peaches and put into a large crock with a cover. Six days afterward boil np once, fill the warm jars and make them air tight It sometimes happens that the most carefully prepared pickles or preserves will prove n disappointment, but if yon will keep all kinds of home made relishes in a room or cellar free from sudden changes of temperature you will ex perience very little trouble with them. Should they appear cloudy or develop a fungoid growth, drain off the syrup and boil np once, or open the jars and I lace them in warm water, which should be brought to boiling point; all jars not filled to the top should be re filled. This is done best by using the contents of one of the jars, which is leps troublesome than preparing a fresh picLlo. Do not put too many peaches in a jar if quart jars are Used;, nine medium sized peaches to each jar will be sufficient. PRESERVED PEACHES. Fill a four quart steamer with per fectly sonnd, ripe peaches, place the steamer on top of a pot of fast boiling wa er for three minutes, then remove and allow the fruit to become cold; reel mem caret utty and weigh tbem. Boil together three pounds of sngar and one pint of water; remove all scum until quite clear. Soak a tablespoon f ul of gelatine in gill of cold water ten minutes, drain off the cold and add a 1 mt of hot water. Add this to the sngar and boil and skim nntil clear. If not clear enough whisk into it the wuite and shell of one egg and strain throngh a flannel bag, but this is hard ly necessary for ordinary household syrnp used in preserving.

But as far and wide The music was borne on the air's warm tide, A sudden thought came to this sad little bird. And he lilted Ins head as within bim it stirred. "If I cannot sine, I cau listen," he cried; "Hoi ho! 1 can listen !" be cited. Selected. How He Weu a Wife. Col. John W. Kay, himself no a enerable gray-headed man. tells the following story of the courtship and marriage of Ids grandfather, the He v. John Kay, who figured largely in the Methodist Church in the latter part of the last and the early part of this century : "My father joined the travelling connection iu 1710," said lie, "when there were less than 130 ordained members iu the United States, and but one conference, extending from Massa chusetts to Florida, along the coast. His early work was in Virginia and North Carolina, where lie travelled ten years, of course a single man, for in those days to marry was to locate, lie travelled in 1000 the Tar River circuit, which extended from the coast into the interior a hundred miles or more. He was 32 years old, and had made up his mind to marry, and locate, and go West, which meant into Kentucky, his former home. Among his stopping places on his circuit was the planta tion of a rich widow, by the name of Lewis, well stocked with slaves and the luxuries that a w ealthy slaveholder of that period was expected to pos sess. I he widow hud also a giown daughter, who liail uiaile Midi an i in presiou upon the bachelor preacher that he had concluded to ak her to go with hiui, nothing doubting thai flic would go, and go on his own terms, but he had said nothing to her on the subjejt until one evening, toward the close of the rear, he took a scran of I paper and wrote : 'Are you under oh- ligations to unv man ? Are vou in the spirit of slavery;' Will you go Wesl7 Will you go with me?' He expected an immediate answei, and, of course, a favorable one; for how could a girl refuse such a man? But she carefully folded the paper, put it iu her pocket, and soon after left the room, to be seen no more un til the next morning. To the surprise aud perplexity of the lover, she ap peared the next morning in the family circle, as merry as usual, and Went about the ordinary duties of the morn ing as though nothing unusual had happened. The suspense became pain ful and embarrassing, unlil he finally got an opportunity to ak if she could now answer the quest ions w hich he had propounded. She asked for further time. " 'So," said he. 'I must know now. I am going away to-day, and 1 want to know before starting.' "'Well,' said she, 'I have some questions to ask before deciding. Will you give up your pipe?' 'The lover was dumbfounded. It had never entered his head that a girl had any right to propound such a question on such an occasion, but that the extent of her prerogative was to say 'Yes, with all my heart.' Pre suming upon his own importance, and assuming that she would be only too glad to say yes after this little episode, he said: Xo, not for the best womau on earth.' It was now her turn to speak, and she said, in a tone that in dicated earnestness: 'Then you can have my answer once for all. I will never marry a man who thinks more f his pipe than of me.' So mini ever did more thinking in u few luiiiiiles Dm n he did then aud there. She had put the pipe question in a new light. 'Think more of my pipe than of her?' he soliloquized. Why, certainly not; yet it looks like it if 1 cannot give it up for her. But there is another ijue-stion: Shall a pill force me to do what four conferences have failed to do? Can I be happy w ithout this girl happier without her aud with my pipe than with her and without mv pipe?' and the man found himself deeper in love than ho had ever sus pected, and he was not long in settling the question. If it is a girl or a pipe, farewell pipe, and he turned to her, as she sat apparently as heartless as a stone, and said: 'Well, Elizabeth, if it is to part with you or my pipe, I give up the pipe forever.' "What followed immediately is more easily imagined than told. In a few weeks they were married. As soon afterward as the papers could be made out all of her slaves were manu mitted, and the two went West, which meant Montgomery county, Kentucky. There my father was born, and there my grandfather spent many years as a local preacher, rejoining the conference in 1819, moving later to Indiana, where he died near (.reencastle in 1837. He never resumed his pipe. His plucky auti pipe wife survived him several years. Iudiannpolis Journal. A man uamrd fin ton, living in Fancy Bottom, near AVeston.

Is thre anything more rare, in the present day, than to see a really happy child? It is so rare that it would not be surprising if, in the not far distant future, some learned ethnologist should rise np and solemnly declare the spe cies to be extinct. In every home where there are children, the one great question seems to be, "what shall we do to amuse the little ones." There can be no parent, however poor, who wonld deny himself the pleasure of addincr to his child's hanmnenfl. and 'anrAlv nnl vliiin )i a in htinlntal Mr. tain that the pleasure of the gift be stowed will develop into a positive, future good. Such a gift, combining these two elements, is the "new kinder garten or mechanical speller," some times called "the kindergarten at home." This toy is without exception the most interesting and useful one that has ever been invented. It is based on the method of kindergarten or object lesson teaching a system whioh, for practical usefulness, is now acknowl edged to be superior to all other edu cational methods. It cultivates the growth of construc tive imagination in children by giving them word pictures, ani as an educa tional help works like magic. With this device a child learns to spell and to read in a marvelously short space of time so short, indeed, that it well deserves the name bestowed upon it by an enthusiastic teacher, who has given it a thorough test, "the royal road to learning." This toy solves tor parents t.'iat most intricate of all problems, "what shall we do with the children?" Children who are too young to go to school, or those who are kept at home by inclement weather or tlight illness, will be able to while away many a weary hour with this toy, at the same time relieving the mother from all care and anxiety. Like their proto types, "Helen's babies," who wanted to "shee the wheels go wound," they ran, not only "bb.ee the wheels go wound, but make them go. It la a never failing sonrce of delight to every hild who sees it, being so pretty in form and so perfect iu its mechanical movements. Even the fathers and the mothers "children bnt of a larger growth" become so fascinated with it that they find it difficult to believe that they are not really omldren once more. The above design gives our readers a very clear idea of this device whioh contains twenty-two objects in the panorama at the top, representations of a horse, dog, cow, cat, eta By turning the button on the right side these objects are brought into view, one at a time. Below, are five keys which, when struck, also bring into view, just below the object, given let ters Helling the name of the object represented. By simple pressing the keyn, any words of 2, 3, 4 or 5 letters may be spelled. This machine is verv ntrongly put together and guaranteed for five years, yet it is offered for sale at the exceedingly low price of one dollar. No more salable article has ever been offered the public, and it is plainly destined to be the educational toy of the future. Shonld any of our renders desire further information regarding this de vice we advice them to write to the Kindergarten Novelty Company, 4-J7 Locu t street, Philadelphia, Pa., who will be pleased to give them full par ticulars. A Gallant Prince. Prince Oscar Bcrnadotte, the secont on of the King of Sweden, who i couple of years ago renounced thf rank and privileges of his royal birtb to marry Miss Ebba Munok, perform ed an act of gallantry last week which will go far to increase Lis popularity throughout his father's dominions. A small boat with three men had cap sized near the head of the pier at Karl fcrona, where he resides. Without hesitating a moment the young giant his statue is six feet three inchet jumped, fully dressed, into the sea and succeeded in rescuing two of the drowning men. The third disappear ed beneath the waves, and his body was found in the surf a couple of days later. Frinco Oscar is about to receive reward for his courage in the shape of the little medal "for saving life," the same which Prince Bismarck prizes above all his other orders and decora tions. 2Ccw Tork Tribune. "I'm going to turn ont this gas," sai l the old man, coming into the room wheie sat his daughter and her young man. Thanks," said the nnabasned young man. "I was going to do it myself."

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription builds up and strengthens the system, and regulates and promotes every proper function. It's a generous, support ing tonic, and a quieting, soothing nervine a legitimate medicine, not a beverage, free from alcohol and injurious drugs. It corrects and cures, safely and surely, all those delicate derangemeuts, weaknesses, and diseases peculiar to the eex. A remedy that does cure is one that can be guaranteed. That's what the proprietors of "Favorite Prescription" think. If it doesn't give satisfaction, in every case for which it's recommended, they'll re fund the money. No other medicine for women is sold on such terms. Decide for yourself whether some thing else sold by the dealer, is likely to be "just as good" for you to buy.
