AGRICULTURE.
ROPT, bitter, or acid milk, the latter
producing specks of curd In the butter
may be and are usually, caused by iil
bealth In the cow, by which the con
dition of the blood is affected. The
milk in its normal, healthful condition
Is alightly alkaline; but when the
blood Is out of condition its alkalinity
may be much Increased, or the milk
may be acid. In one case only, how
ever, have I found ropy milk excessiv
ely alkaline; in ever other case fn
which I have such milk, it has been
distinctly acid and has sometimes show
ed, by the test of litmus paper, a high
degree of acidity aud has become verv
soon completely curdled; the long,
fibrous clots placed under the micros
cope, appear simply as curd formed in
the ducts and molded by them intoth*
stringy pieces which pass through the
teat into the milk. The ropy or strin
gy matter is easily dissolved in a solu
tion of carbonate of soda or potash, and
would therefore seem to be caused by
eciaitv. The white specks which often
appear in the butter are due to similar
causes,and are merely particles of curd
or cheesy matter which are formed in
the milk and adhere to the cream and
are carried up, aud mingled with it,
and so go with it into the charn. In
this case they are only partially re
moved by the most caret ul washing and
the butter is unavoidably injured by
them.
The best remedy for all these troub
les with the milk is to administer a free
dose of salts, one pound of sulphate of
soda (Glauber salts) or of sulphate of
magnesia (Epsom salts,) being dissolv
ed ill warm water, by means of a com
mon drenching horn : and after this
has operated, a daily dose of one our.ee
of hyposulphite of soda may be given
with benefit, for two weeks so as tc
effectually free the system from all ac
idity. This salt is a most valuable me
dicine in the dairy on account of its
antiseptic and alterative properties,
and a pound or two of it may be bene
flo'ally kept for use. It is readily ta
kt n when powdei ed and sprinkled over
a mess of scalded bran or some cut feed
and it will be found useful in all these
esses of trouble with milk. The im
proper behavior of milk in the churn
Is aue altogether to the alter manage
ment of the milk and requires special
consideration.
ON* of the strong points In English
farming was lately emphasised as fol
lows by Prof. Roberts of Cornell Uni
versity. "Herein, says be. "I am sat
isfied * lies the secret of England's
success in raising larger crops. It
would lake away the breath of a prai
rie farmer to hear even an Englishman*
enumeration of the "spuddlngs,"
the 'grubbing*,' the Switchings, the
harrowing*, ihe cross harrowing, the
rollings and crushing*,' that a heavy
elay field is subjected to before it Is
considered ready for wheat. "What
is this all for? Simply to unlock the
full storehouse ot rature. That it la
full has been proven time and aga'n
By aciual analysis it is found that an
average soil contains, in the first six
Indus, plant food enough for from
fifty to one hundred and flity full crops
of grain. Ido not desire to discourage
the purchase and use of fertilisers, but
wh-11 do protest sgainst is purchasing
on time commercial manures at forty
dollars per ton, which are really worth
only tweniy-tive, to enrich cloddy
fl Ids alieaoy la rly rich in plant food,
locked up it is true, but there, none
the less, only awaiting a little judicious
application ot brain and muscle to set
it free. "If these hastily jotted facts
and impressions are the means of in
ducing my fellow farmers to remove
some of the useltss trees and fences,or
to give the fields an additional cross
harrowing or two before casting in the
seed, and asking the Lord to bless the
labor of their hands, my object will
have been attained."
HEALTHFULNFSS OF PLANTS. —Great
reasons why country life is so much
more healthful than city life are: the
country is not closely built, therefore
the air has fuller sweep and is purer,
and also there is abundance of plant
life— grass, trees, bushes—growing,
sending out abundance ol ozone, as
well as sweet fragrance. Il we are,
none of us, so rich as the Rothschilds,
yet we could have a few plants, and
moie of us would have them did we
know their exceeding healthfulness.
If your yard is, like many city ones,all
paved, take up three or four bricks,
letting one remain next the house wall
to avoid dsmpness. Dig out all the
tend and old earth which has long been
kept from sunlight below, and cover
cverthefcole with good fresh earth. Into
this opening transplant, if you wish, a
rapid climber, a honeysuckle or wiste
ria, or, if sonuthing slower, a noisette
•r climbing iose. Fill all up with good
earth ; water daily; give strong twine
or treliis work as support. And a few
years later, when your windows are
festooned with waving delicate sprays
ol wisteria, with fragrant blossoms of
honeysuckle or clusters of June roses,
the air will certainiy be sweeter to you
and the prospect more inviting! One
great trouble is, most city houe.es are
rented, and tenants generally care lit
tle about the property which belongs
to another; but this Is a matter all
parties are interested in.
TAKING DOWN TOBACCO.— This term
applies to taking the tobacco plants
hanging upon poles or laths in the shed
or curing barns and plaoing them in
"ranks" previous to stripping the
leaves from the stalks. The work can
only be done properly when the to
bacco is in good condition for bandling,
that is, when the leaves are sufficiently
damp to make them soft and pliable.
The past fall and winter has been so
cold and dry that tobacco has rarely
been in this condition, and consequent
ly a large proportion ol tobacco is yet
hanging in the barns where it is im
possible to work at it until softened by
warm, moist weather.
It is very important that tobacco
should be in good condition for hand
ling when it is taken down. If too
dry it can only be put in good condi
tion by artificial means, which en
dangers loss from damage from the
most experienced and careful hands,
and then only by additional cost. It
is sometimes desirable to take tobacco
down when it is not sufficiently damp.
In such cases it can be dampened by
sprinkling warm water from a sprink
ling can Irom overhead, down upjn
the hanging plants.
AMONG the replies to an advertise

CROUSTADKS OF CSICIIK.- Cut the
crumb of a loaf of bread into slices two
inches thick, and then with af round
paste cutter, about two inches ;in dia
meter, cut out ot each slice as many
pieces as possible. With another paste
cutter, about one and a half Indies in
diameter, make a mark on one side of
each cylinder of bread crumb. When
all are"ready, try them a golden color
in very hot lard. A deep frying pan
should be used, and plenty of lard, so
that the croustades fairly swim in the
fat. When done, lay them on a sieve
in front of the fire to drain, and after
ward remove the cover (marked with
the smaller paste cutter), and with the
handle of a teas oon scoop out all the
Inside of each croustade. Mince finely
some remnants of roast or boiled chick
en, free from skin, etc., add an equal
quantity of ham or tongue, as well as
a small quantity ot mushroom, also
finely minced. Toss the whole In a
saucepan with a piece of butter, mixed
with a pinch of flour; add white pep
per, salt and powdered spice to taste;
moisten, if uecessary, with a little
white stock. Stir in off the fire, the
yolk of an egg, beaten up with the
juice of halt a lemon; fill the croustade*
with this mince, put a buttou mush
room on the top of each, cover them
with a sheet of oiled paper, put them
into the oveu to get thoroughly hot,
aud serve.
THK JITLLIKD CHICKKK —Wet the
mould and pour a liitie jelly iu the
bottom about half an iucti iu depth;
when it stiffens put a sprig of parsley
iu the centre, spreading the leaves and
leaving the stem up; pour In a little
more hail set jelly, and when it hard
ens cut a haru-boiied egg in long slices
lay tiuse upon it, add a layer ot jelly
and when hard lay in long delicate
slices of the chicken, flavord well
with pepper aud salt, a lining of three
slic soi lemon around the edges of
the mould, more strips of chicken and
a finishing layer of tin jelly. Set it
away to cool. Do not let your jelly in
the pitcher stiffen while you are put
ting on the layers. Keep them near
the stove, and make up your mould in
a cold w iudow. Turn out of the mould
by plunging tnern lor a moment into
boiling water and quickly reversing it
in the dish you wisu to serve it upon.
Wicked Tor Clergymen.
Rev. , Washington, D.C., writes:
"1 believe it. to be wrong and even
wicked tor clergymen or other public
men to be led into giving testimonials
to quack doctors or vile stufls called
medicines, but when a really meritori
ous article made of valuable remedies
known to all, that all physicians use
and trust in dally, we should freely
commend it. I therefore cheerfully
and heartily commend Hop Bitters for
the good they have done me and my
friends, firmly believing they have no
equal lor family use. I will not be
without them."—Yew York Baptist
Weekly.
HERE is a delicious pudding for des
sert: One pint of nice breadcrumbs
(not ciumbs of stale bread unfit for the
tablet, one quart of milk one cup of
sugar, and the well beaten yolk of
four eggs, the grated rind of one lem
on, and piece of butter the size of an
egg. Bake until done. Whip the
whites of four eggs, and beat in one
cup of pulverised sugar In which you
have put the juice of the lemon. Spread
over the pudding a layer of jelly or
raspberry jam or any sweet-meat you
preier, then pour over It the whites of
the eggs. Set in the oven to brown
slightly. Serve cold with cream. This
is an excellent dessert for an elaborate
dinner, as it may be made early iu the
morqing, and so be out of the way.
A WOOL BED.— One of the best kinds
of beds for sleeping on is a wool bed —
about thirty-five pounds of washed
and carded medium or coarse common
wool —made into the form of a mat
trass with common bed ticking. I have
had one in use lor over twenty years,
and seems as soft and as good as when
new. We like it very much for a sum
mer bed but sometimes, in cold weath
er, put on top ol it a light feather bed,
as this is rather warmer than any kind
of a mattrass. Wool is as low now as
it will be, and will make as cheap a
bed as any material so lasting and
good.
AXEW YORK umbrella mender says
that ladies use up their umbrellas
chiefly in two ways. When walking
they rub them against their clotheg.
and when riding in cars or omnibuses
they lay them on the seat of the vehicle
while paying their fares—they must
have both bands disengaged—and thus
get the umbrella sat upon and broken.
Dozens of such cases ;ceme to his
knowledge every week in that elty. A
crape dress or veil, he says, acts like
a file upon a silk umbrella. Ten or
twelve rubs are enough to make a long
hole.
IMPURE BLOOD, —In morbid condi
tions of the blood are many diseases;
such as salt rheum, ring-worm, boils,
carbuncles, sores, ulcers and pimples.
In this condition of the blood try the
VEGETINE, and cure these affections.
As a biood-purilier It has no equal. Its
effects are wonderful.
IF you have not a pretty or even
good looking dish in which to serve
scalloped oysters a common yellow

tuck the corners in and fold under the
dish, then set it on a plate. Be care
ful to put the napkin on smoithly, let
ting it come just to the edge of the
dish.
YORKSHIRE pudding, to be eaten
with roast beef, as one would eat a
vegetable, is made in this way: Stir
three tablespoonfuls of flour into one
pint of milk; add three eggs and a lit
tle salt; pour into a shallow tin bak
ing pan, put It into the oven an hour
before dinner-time. After it has baked
for about ten minutes put It under the
roasting beef. When the meat is
taken up, leave the pudding in the
oven for five minutes, the* pour off
the fat and serve with the meat.
LEMON SYRUP.— 'Take the ju : ce of
twelve lemons, grate the rind of six in
It, let it stand over night, then take six
pounds of white sugar and make a
thick syrup; when it is quite cold
strain the juice into it and squeeze as
muGh oil from the grated riud as will
suit the taste; a tablespoonful in a
goblet of water will make a delicious
drink on a hot day, far superior to that
prepared from the stuff commonly sold
as lemon syrup.
GREEN PEA SOUP. —One eeck of peas
boil them soft, mash and strain them
through a sitter; a slice of pork, an
onion chopped fine, a little parsley and
thyme, salt and pepper. Alter the
soup is well boiled, strain it and let it
stew till ready to serve. Reserve a
few peas and put in whole. To one
peck of peas put three quarts of water.
To All Oor Friend*
Having had numberless Inquiries for
advertising cards from ladies In all
parte of the country who are Interest
ed In the prevailing fashion ot making
"Card Collections," we are having
printed for them a set of seven beauti
ful cards, each in six colors and on a
Sold background, in the very highest
ogree of art, illustrating Shakspeare's
"Seven Ages of Man." We have spared
no expense in these cards—they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications for them have
come in so rapidly that nearly the
whole edition is engaged before the
receipt by us ot the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the following plan for the dis
tribution of the remainder: No more
ol the gilt Shakspeare cards, seven iu
"die series, will be sent exceptiug upon
the receiptor a statement from a grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars of Dobbius' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. All apply
ing in this manner t all receive the lull
set of seven cards yrutis by mail. Tills
will insure us tnat our frieuds and
patious get their share 01 these beauti
ful designs, although it iu no manner
repays us for the cost of the cards.
Your grocer has the soap or will get it.
and the purchase by you of seven bars
of it at oue time will secure for you
gratis seven really beautiful cards. The
soap improves with age, aud is an
aiticle of necessity in your house every
week. Therefore you are not asked to
buy a useless article, but one that you
must have anyway. Please send us
your applications at once, and tell your
lady friends inakiug "Card Collec
tions," to do the same. Grocers do not
have the cards to deliver. Buy the
soap ot them , send us their.bill, aud tee
will mail you the cards free. Yours
respectfully, 1. L. CRAQIN & Co., 110

P. S.— Ladies not wishing to buy
soap can get the cards by remitting
cost price, 25 cents.
