AGRICULTURE.
KILL YOUR ANIMALS EARLY.— There
is great economv in so feeding ani
mals lor meat that they will mature
early. It has been prove i by experi
ment that less food is required to make
a pound of meat in any animal the
younger It is. Take, for example, a
steer fed for beef, he will make a far
greater gain on a bushel of meal, or a
given quantity of any suitable feed,
before he is a year old than when he
has become two years old, and more
at that age than when he is three.
This being considered a fact it is econ
omy to feed well, even to force the an
imal and have it at the shambles at the
eailiest possible period. Bullocks, as
the English people call them, steers
in our own vocabulary, can be made
as fat and as meaty at two years thus
ted as others at three fed in the ordin
ary manner. This makes a saving of
the food necessary to keep, not fatten,
the animal of the third year, which is
in itself a handsome gain. Besides
this saving, the beef of a Aye-hundred
pound steer at two is better than that
of the same at a year older. Tender
beef is that which is mad 3 young and
rapidly. The reader will see the
double profit in the course recommend
ed. Not only is this the case with the
steer, but with the lamb and the pig.
In fact, the most su c.ssful pork
growers slaughter their animals be
f re they reach the end of a year, from
eight to ten months being generally
considered the nust profitable limit.
We are awaie of the prejudice we are
enooun ering by the assumed, but facts
are stubborn, and wiil not yield to any
preconceived opinions. The farmer,
tome imes dteeps his hog until it is
eighteen monies old, and does so 011
the ground of economy, when the fact
is if he would feed well from the first,
and not starve the creature all the
summer to make it fatten when he be
gan to teed he would see a difference.
To make good pork feed generously
always, giving such feed as its nature
rt quires 10 make growth, and to steers
as much as the appetite demands. The
re uk will be better inea; and larger
profits.
THE FRUIT GAKDIX—II every family,
especially every farmer's family, has
not an abundance ol small fruits, it is
not our fault, for we have pleaded for
them year alter year. It is better to
have them in a plot by themselves,
with a lenceto keep out intruders, bus
this is not absolutely necessary. If it
must be, grow them In the vegetable
garden, rather than not have them.
Do rot rut it cff Win never the start
is made it must he a whole year before
any fruit can be gathered. Begin now
and next year the family will rejoice.
The earlier the planting is done the
better will be the crop. As soon as
ihe leaves of the curt ant and goose
berry are fairly txpanded, the worm
may be looked for. The eggs are laid
on the under side of the lower leaves,
and if theie are removed or destroyed
inueh trouble is averted. It any rag
ged leaves are seen the worm is at
work. Apply powdered white helle
bore stirred in water, a tablespoonful
to the paillul. Grapes may still be set,
and there is always a place for a grape
vine upon the smallest place. With
young vims, only one shoot should be
allowed to grow. Rub off other buds
as they start. If tender kinds of rasp
berries were covered last fall, they
should be lied to stake 3 or trelises.
Hoo CHOLERA REMEDlES.—Every
body knows that it is the easiest thing
in the world to get certificates to the
virtues of a patent medicine. When
the hog cholera attacks a herd or a
neighborhood, there always comes a
time when the disease has run its
course and subsides. It just at this
point any remedy has been used, It
gets the credit of doing the business,
when, In fact, it was nature's own
work. ID another case a man escapes
the disease on his larm, while bis
neigbbers have all suffered from its
attacks. If he has been using anything
as a preventive during this period, he
is quite willing to give that thing the
credit for his immunity, while, as a
matter of fact, similar cases are report
ed every day where no remedy what
ever is used. Very much depends upon
proper attention to sanitary regula
tions; and when these are promptly
resorted to the ravages of ttie disease
may usually he cbecked without the
aid ol medicine.
SHRINKAGE.— Corn loses one-fifth by
dryirg, and wheat one-fortieth. From
this the estimate is made that it is
more profitable for farmers to sell un
sbelled corn in the fall at 75 cents than
at $1 a bushel in th : following Spring,
and that wheat at 11.25 in December is
equal to $1.50 in the succeeding June.
In the cate of potatoes—taking those
that rot and are otherwise lost, to
gether with shrinkage—there is but
little doubt-that between October and
June the loss to the owner who holds
them is not less than 33 per cent.
THE moistnre In which one kind of
seed would flourish would be destruc
tive to another class, causing them to
rot instead of forcing growth. The
beat necessary to start one class of
seeds would dry up and utterly destroy
the gum of another class. The appli
cation of rules requires a mixture of
common sense and observation.
THERE is an idea vet prevalent among
some farmes that dry stock needs but
little care at ibis season of the year,
and that almost any kind of food will
answer for them. This Is a serious
mistake.
Cotton-picking by machinery has long
been a dream of the Southern planters.
The risk of planting revolves about
tho picking season. The bolls open ir
regularly, but they must be plucked
when they are at a certain stage of
ripeness, or be lost in whole or part.
S. R. Cockertil, Vice President of the
Mississippi Valley Planters 1 Associa
tion, believes he has arrived at a solu
ofthe problem. He saya, that it is a
fact that the bolls will continue to
ripen and open in due timo if the plant
is cut up by the roots and stacked.
There is no practical difficulty in sep
arating the cotton from the boli by
machinery, if the stalks can be gather
ed and fed at one time. The apparatus
for this process has been invented and
works well. But everything depends
on the truth of Mr. Cockerill's asser
tion that cotton in its last stages will
ripen in the stack.
Jiecent investigations have shown the
depth of the ocean between latitudes
sixty degrees north and sixty degrees
south to be nearly three miles, or 2,500
fathoms. The greatest depth which
has been ascertained by sounding is
five miles and a quarter, or 4,620
fathoms, and occurs in the Northwest
Pacific Ocean. This represents a thick
ness of the water layer nearly equal to
the height of the lottlest known moun
tain.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Here is a recipe for coffee cake
which is sure to please any one who Is
fond of coffee "ns a beverage.'* Take
one cup of strong coffee, one cup of
molasses, one cup of butter, one cup of
sugar, one of raisins, and one of cur
rants, four cups of flour, one nutmeg
grated, one teaspoonful of cinnamon,
half a teapoonful of soda or paleratus,
mix the butter, molasses and sugar to
gether, stir the spices into the flour,
dissolve the soda,stir the coffee and flour
in by degrees, and lastly put in the
fruit. Bake in a slow oven, butter the
tin well, and unless you are sure your
oven will not bake too hard, you had
better put a peper in the bottom of the
tin. This cake keeps well. With more
fruit it makes a good fruit cake.
Dumas's Famous Salad. Pumas
himself describes it as a salad of a high
tautasy, of a composite order, and
formed of live principal ingredients.
Rounds of baet rmt, slices of celery,
truffles chopped, harebells with thin
tufts and boiled potatoes. And here
shall follow the great novelist's recipe
for making the salad, or rather the
mixture. "I place," says Dumas "m
my salad-bowl for two guests the yolK
ol an egg, and stir it in oil till it be
comes a paste. To this paste I add
chervil, minced tunney, pounded an
chovies, mustard of Mailie, a large
spoonful of soy, gherkins and the
whites of eggs, also minced. Then di
lute the whole with the best vinegar 1
can procure, and my servant stirs it;
while over all I cast a pinch of 'papri
co,' an Hungarian pepper."
Lamb Cutlets aux Fktits Fois. —
Take a pound of underdone roast lamb
cut It in small pieces,then pound them
in a mortar to make a smooth paste ;
sessou with pepper and salt, beat up
the yolks of two eggs and mix smooth
ly with the mass. Press it out to the
thickness of a lamb cutlet; with a
sharp knife cut it into pieces shaped
like cutlets, dip them In beaten egg,
then in bread-crumbs and fry in hoc
lard. on a hot platter surround
ing a pile of boiled green peas. This
is one of the nicest w ays ot using up
cold meat; cold chicken or turkey
may be used instead of lamb or mut
ton —and even beef Is possible.
RICH CUSTARD OR CREAM CAKE.—
Three-fourths cupful butter, two cups
sugar, one and one-fourth pints dour,
Ave eggs, one teaspoonful baking pow

and sugar to a white light cream, add
tli3 eggs two at a time, beating live
minutes between each addition. Then
add the milk. Sift the flour with the
baking powder and add it the la*t
thing. Mix this well, but not any
more than is necessary. l'he seoner
it is put into the oven after the addi
tion ot the baking powder and tlour
the better. Bake in jelly tins, in a hot
oven tifteen minutes.
LEMON TIE WITH CORN STARCH.—
Make ready the following ingredients:
One heaping tablespoonful of corn
starch, one cupful .of boiling water,
one cupful of sugar, one egg, one
tablespoonful of butter and one lemou.
Moisteu the corn starch with a little
cold water, theu add the boiliug wa
ter; stir this over the fire for two or
three minutes, allowing it to boil and
cook the starch; add the butter aim
sugar. Remove the mixture from tne
fire, and when cold enough so as not
to cook the eirg add a weil-beaten one
with the juice iud giated rind ol the
lemon, 'ibis quantity makes one pie,
and should be baked with the crust.
ELFCTION CAKE.— One pound of but
ter, one pound of one pound
of raisins, two pounds of curra nts,one
pound of citron, twelve eggs, one cup
of molasses, one cup of cider,splce au d
grated peel of lemon ; beat the butter
and sugar, also the eggs; stone and
chop the raisins; wash and dry the
currants; cut the citron in strips.
After beating butter and sugar to
gether, add the eggs, then molasses,
fruit, spice and flour. Bake In loaves
in a moderate oven. Is very nice, and
keeps fresh a long time.
MOTHS AND FURS.—A lady writes:
I have for many years tried camphor
as a preventive against moths, and it
has never failed either in furs, wool
ens, or feathers; if the camphor gum
is rolled In F©ft wivts paper there will
be no discoloration irom it, neither
does it appear to fade the fur, as some
seem to think. I put a good-sized
piece In the paekage and put the arti
cles in newspapers.
. CHOCOLATE.— Put into a coffee-pot set
in boiling water, one quart of new
milk (or a pint each of cream and
milk); stir into it three heaping table
spoonfuls of grated chocolate mixed to
a paste with cold milk; let boil two
or three minutes and serve at once. If
not wanted so rich use half water and
milk.
A CKLEKRAT ED physician says that
a mixture of oatmeal aad beef tea is
very useful in giving strength to weak
patients, and gives the following as
ine best way oi making it: "Take two
tablespovsnluls of cold water; pour in
to this a pint of strong beef tea; boil
It eight minutes; keep stirring all the
time; it should be very smooth; if
lumpy, pass through a sieve."
BUTTERED LOBSTER.— BoiI and break
up the lobster, take out the meat, cut
it into small bits, and put it into a
stewpan with plenty of fresh butter, a
little pepper, salt, and vinegar and
stir till it is hot. burround the mince
on the dish when served will a bor
der of water-cress brightened here
and there with a lobster claw.

but tender stalks of celery in salted
water; when done dry them on a cloth
cut them in equal lengths about one
and-a-half inches, dip them in batter,

"BUB, did you ever think?" asked a

I heard mother say put beans and peas
in your coffee, and about a pint of wa

relied upon to restoration
r tampering with old paintings. On
recently examining the first prooi of a
well-known Madonna, in the British
National Gallery,the photographer ob
served a disfiguring blur oyer the fore
head. No such blur was discernible in
the original, except upon close inspec
tion with the aid of a magnifying
<la*s. The microscopic examination
showed that the restorer had repaired
some causal damage with a skill that
reproduced the color and texture of
the painter; but he had not used the
same pigmeuts, and this was Instantly
detect© u by the subtle chemistry ol
light.
So extensively Is the adulteration ol
t'*a now carried on In China that Mr.
Medhurst, the British Consul at
Shanghae, recently wrote that 53,000
Hjs ol willow leaves were in course of
manipulation at ore port alone, to be
mixed with tea for shipineut at the
ratio of from 10 to 20 per cent.
THE greatest anxiety Is experienced
least there should be a flaw in the title

health—a Cough cr Cold—ls disregard

all such at once.
Dr. Theobald, of the Maryland Aca
demy of Science, has detected a beetle
weighing two grains moving a s mall
tray weighing fiveaud one-half ounces
—a proportion which, if preserved In
the power of man, would enable a
man weighing 150 pounds to move
198,000 pounds, or near 100 tons.
Vkgktink is now acknowledged by
our best physicians to be the only sure
and safe remedy for all diseases arising
from impure blood, such as scrofula
and scrofulous humors.
Storm warnings area distinct branch
of the forecasts of meteorology. Tbeir
object is to give the seaman notice of
an approaching gale. They have now
been in operation for more than ten
years, and during that period at least
seventy-five per cent, of the warnings
Isiued have been justified by the gales
or strong winds which followed.

A Joyful Announcement
to suffering millions is the glad tidings that at
last a certain cure for pilee has beeu discov
ered. 600,000 persons who have used Dr.
Silsbee's Anakesia, pronounce it infallible.
Doctors of all medical schools prescribe it in
practice ; empirics and nostrum venders coun
terfeit and imitate it, and all, without excep
tion, admit that it is entitled to the name of
"Medical Miracle." Nothing in medicine is
more simple, rational, prompt and certain. It
is not an accidental blunder of inexperience,
but the scientific solution of a most difficult
problem, by an accomplished physician of 40
years' practice and study. Anakesis is a
happy combination of a soothing poultice,
supporting instrument and curative medicine.
It alleviates at onoe the most excruciating
pain; it holds up the raw, sensitive tumors,
and by firm, continued pressure and medica
tion applied to the swollen veins is able to
cure the most inveterate cases of blind or
bleeding piles. The inventor of ' 'Anakesis"
mav well ue regarded as a public benefactor,
and sufferers from this terrible disease will
thank us for calling attention to a discovery
so worthy. It is not less singular that in the
circular concerning Anakesis, foil directions
are given for fblvknung PILES, .a fact never
before observed in any medicine fhe propri
etors wished to selL "'Anakesis" is sold by
druggists everywhere. Sent free on receipt
of price, f 1.00 per box; samples gratis by P.
