AGRICULTURE.
RENOVATIVG WORN-OFT LAND. —No
good farmer will allow his fields to become
exhausted by excessive cropping but will
adopt timely measures for keeping up their
fertility ; but should they become reduced
under bad management, the question of re
novating is one of the very first importance.
If the farmer has an abundauce of good
dressing, the question is easy of solution;
but where large areas are to be restored the
manure heap is likely to fail, and some
otner plan must be adopted. The choice,
in such a case, lies between green manur
ing and sheep. Land whose fertility has
become quite low will prodnce a decent
crop of clover by the aid of a liberal appli
cation of plaster, and this clover, when
ploughed under,acts wonderfully iu restor
ing the tost fertility of the soil. Buck
wheat will flourish upou soil too poor for
corn or wheat, and, next to clover, is per
haps the best crop for green manuring.
Both should be turned under when in full
bloom. The value of sheep for restoring
run-out grass lands is too * well kuowu to
require anything more tliau simple
mention. It has been successfully prac
tised for generations, and yet there are
many farmers who complain of run-out
lane's, who keep no sheep at all. Aside
from their value in restoring worn out
lands to fertility, there is no stock the
farmer can keep that pays so well, ami
that so many farmers do not keep them is
a wonder. We asked one farmer the ques
tion the other day, and his reply was that
his fences were too poor. In other words,
it would require a little labor to repair his
fences.
THINKING FRUlT. —Skilful fruit growers
have long been in the practice of thiumng
the young fruit on overbearing trees, both
lor the good of the fruit that remains, and
to prevent exhaustion of the trees, and we
have often had occasion to urge the impor
tance of the practice, which in addition to
the advantages already mentioned, saves
much labor in hand-picking afterwards
numerous imperfect spectmeus, and much
time in assorting alter they are gathered.
Before, or by the time they are an inch in
diameter, the riuest specimens may be seen
for leaving, as the smaller and poorer ones
are taken out. Some valuable hints on
this subject were giveu at the last winter
meeting of the Western New York Horti
cultural Society. W. C. Barry said they
could not get good exhibition pears without
thinning the clusters. They used a pole
with a uotch in one end, which enabled
the operator to twist them off rapidly. E.
Moody, in speaking of the Northern Spy.
which is so otleu defective on crowded
tnes, said it would yet Income very profit
able when we make up our minus to thin
it thoroughly, and that if we would take
off in time from three-fourths to
eights, we would get nearly as much in
measure, and twice the price of any other
apple we grow. Maj. Brooks thought the
Spy could be best thmued by culling out
crowded branches. Mr. Vick said no one
had any business to.grow apples who
would uot thiu them.
HUNGARIAN grass or millet can be grown
on sod land about as well as anywhere else.
After taking off a crop of hay, turn the soil
over flat, spread on and harrow in some
special fertilizer. Put iu the seed at the rate
of one bushel to the aero, bushing it in and
rolling the land. Jf the ground is seeded
by the middle of July, a fair crop can be
cut by the middle of September. There
are many wide awake farmers who adopt
the above practice every year.
TUE three following processes may be
laid down as the foundation of all good
farming : First, by draining, to get rid of
all the superfluous water. Second. to re
turn to the land through the medium of
manure made upon the place, if possible,
the fertility of the soil which has been
taken away by cropping. Third, to destroy
all weeds, that they may not feed upon
that fertility of the soil which the plants
require.
SULPHUR FOR ROUP. — Roup will some
times yield to the following treatment:
Open the affected fowl's beak and with a
tube, which may be formed of paper, blow
half a teaspoonful of sulphur down the
throat. Three applications have been
known to cure.
AN Ohio wool grower, noticing that
another flock master complained that he
could not rid his sheep of ticks, says he
was troubled that way once, and advises
wetting salt with turpentine when salting
sheep. He finds this effectual, without
"dipping."
A Boss Time.
A boy entered the Fremont Police Sta
tion on a run Sunday right and requested
the presence of an officer to quell a disturb
ance in a house on the upper end of Beau
bien street. When the officer reached the
house he found about twenty people as
sembled to witness a marriage, but a form
er lover of the bride had refused to let tne
ceremony proceed. The father took the
officer through into the kitchen and ex
plained.
"The objector and obje tions -have
happily been removed and the marriage
ceremony performed. Sorry to have trou
bled you, but you shall partake of thirteen
different kinds of refreshment."
"What was the trouble?"
"Well not much. My daughter was en
gaged to a teamster, but they got into a
quarrel and declared it off. Then she was
engaged to a bricklayer, but he lied to her,
and they broke it up. Theu she was en
gaged to a milkman,and they were expect
ing to be married, when along came this
young man. He is a cooper, and so am I. 1
saw how nice it would be for us to coop
together, he ueing my shop and 1 using his
tools, and so 1 persuaded Mary to have
him.
"And the milkman kicked."
"Yes. He raised a great row about it,
but we finally subjugated him."
"How?"
"Come this way?"
The father led the officer into the back
yard, and the old lover, was then discover
ed, tied neck aud heals, and pushed into an
empty hogshead, with the big family dog
standing guard over him. The prisoner was
terribly maignated, threatening to clean
out the crowd, aud he rested a moment on
the high back fence to observe,
"As for you, old peg-leg, I'll lay for you!
If I ever catch you, I'll masb every bone
in your body!"
"Dear me I but how unreasonable!"
sighed the father as he rubbed his hands.
' The young man does not seem to realize
the benefits of a cooper copartnership. The
capacity of my shop will now be doubled,
business will be rushed, and I shall board
the bridal couple for $8 per week, cash
every Saturaday. Reuben must get over
this unreasonableness or I shall refuse to
take milk of him. But come in and kiss
the bride and help us festivate over the
auspicious occasion."
The officer found opportunity to ask
Mary if it was a happy match for her, and
she answered:
"Well, dad's boss here. He said I might
as well marry a cooper as a milkman, and
1 dida't want to flunk on the old man. Sort
0* boss time isn't it?"
DOMESTIC.
HOME MADE BREAD. —Two distinct
methods produce good results; both are
given below, with personal preference for
the quickest: To make the yeast —boil
two ounces of hops in four quarts ot water
for a half-hour, strain, cool the liquid until
lukewarm, add half a pound of brown su
gar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, and gradu
ally stir iu one pound of flour; let this
leaven ferment tour days in a temperature
of about 98 deg. Fahrenheit, stirring it
wheuever it rises to a foam. On the third
day add to it three pounds of potatoes
boiled and mashed, on the fourth day
strain ami bottle it and keep it in a civil
place. To make bread : Put seven p muds
of flour in a deep bowl, make a hollow in
the center and put into ii one quart of luke
warm water, and use as much of it as is
necessary to make a rather soft dough,
mixing it well with the hands until it is
smooth and shining then strew a little flour
under and over it, cover the bowl with a
thick folded towel, and set to rise five
hours in a temperature of US deg. when it
has risen knead it for 15 minutes, divide it
into four loaves, place them in separate
pans, and let the loaves stand where the
dough has been until they have swollen to
double their first size ; piick each one three
times with a fork, ami bake them one hour
in a moderate oven, takiug care not to
burn them. In winter be sure to keep the
bread dough well covered so '.hat it un.y
rise properly.
PREVENTION OF DIPHTHNIUA. —To prevent
diphliietia, then, ami so finally exterminate
it, eveiy man, woman and child through
out our land ami the world should be
bmugtil to obey the the iaws of life and
health. Parents should regularly feed,
properly bathe and duly restrain nil chil
dren before they couie to the years of
understanding and accountability. This
aione would do much. A late prominent
physician of Paris catenated that 3,000
children had died in that eity during the
thirty years of his practice there from short
sleeves, snort pants and or her kindred
imprudences in the dressing of children.
And lam fully convinced that as large a
proportion are sacrificed, in towns at least,
iu this country from the same cause—all
lor a wicked fashion. Ami, from a care
ful observation iu this country and abroad,
i am confident that at least as mauy more
are carried off by improper fo<kl and irreg
ularity in taking it, together with poison
ous candies and other unwholesome ami
indigestible trash that no child or other
person should eat.
PIIOT GRAPH DETECTIVES. —A contriv
ance called the Detective Camera was late
ly brought out in Loudon. Its purpose is
to e aable a person to take photographs o!
any desired subject, without anybody but
himself being cognizant of the operation.
In outward appearance it resembles a
square case, and can tie disguised as a
portmanteau, a shoe-black's box, or even
a book. The operator places it upoii the
ground, or holds it under his arm, the
pressure of a pneumatic ball opeuing or
closing the hidded leus at the required
moment. Several scenes have been thus
secured, which bear evidence that the mod
els had no idea that their images were be
ing so stolen.
COOKING BY ELECTRICITY. —As a matter
of fact the electric current is as well fitted
to produce heat as it is to produce light,
aud just as electricity will, IU all proba
bility, be made to yield the priucipal arti
ficial light of the future,so will it doubtless
be applied to household heatiug. The
same machines which light the house by
night will beat and cook by day, besides
performing other duties, such as driving a
coffee mill or a sewing machine.
ALMOND cookies are very nice. This
rule will make a large quantity, and may
of course be varied to suit your need : Two
pounds of butter, three pounds of sugar,
one poun i of almonds blanched and chop
ped, cut in halves or pounded, two tea
spoon! uls of cinnamon, one teaspoonful of
saleratus, one cup of boiling water, one
lemon, one dozen eggs, knead in flour
enough t> make the dough as stiff as cooky
dough should be, roll and cut in fancy
shapes, and after they are in the tins
sprinkle the almonds thickly over them.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING. —ScaId together a
quart of irnik and three ounces of grated
chocolate. Set it away until cold and then
add the beaten yolks of five eggs and cup
of sugar. Bske about twenty-five minutes.
Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth,
spread over the top of the pudding and
brown thein slightly in the oven. This
pudding should be served very cold.
TELEPHONE ALARMS. —The Belgium Tel
ephone Company have made arrangements
so that any of the subscribers leaving word
any evening may be awakened at any hour
the next morning by mesus of a power
ful alarm.
AIR CLOCKS. —There is an effort making
in England, to test the system of compress
ed air clocks, which have been introduced
into Paris, and of which long descriptions
with pictorial illustrations have appeared
in scientific aud mechanical journals. Ten
stations are proposed for the British me
tropolis.
WHIPPED POTATOES. —Whip boiled pota
toes to creamy lightness with a fork ; beat
in butter, milk, pepper and salt; at last
the frothed white of an egg; toss irregul
arly upon a dish, set in the oven two min
utes to reheat but do not let it color.
BEAN SALAD. —Put some lima beans,
potatoes and beets (all boiled tender) on
iee, and a short time before serving cut
the potatoes and beets into rather thin
s.ices, add the beans and dress with oil,
pepper, salt and vinegar. Garnish with a
few watercresses.
HOUSEKEEPERS will find that zincs may
be scoured with great economy of time and
strength by using either glycerine or cre
osote mixed with a little diluted sulphric
acid.
GLUE frequently cracks because of the
dryness of the air in rooms warmed by
stoves. Au Austrian paper recommends
the addition of a little chloride of calcium
to glue to prevent this.
CHAPPING of the hands, which is oue of
the most disagreeable inconveniences of
cold weather, can be easily prevented by
rubbing the hands with powdered starch.
BAR soap, when bought, should be cut
in square pieces and put in a dry place. It
lasts better after shrinking.
ALL fish skin should he washed, dried
thoroughly, cut in small bits and put in a
box or paper hag to use in settling coffee.
WHENEVER the sauce boils from the
sides of the pan you may kuow the flour
or corn starch is done.
MANY do not know that eggs readily ac
quire the flavor of the substances in which
they are preserved.
IN icing cakes, dip the knife frequently
into cold water.
HUMOROUS.
A MAN read a newspaper article upon
the duty and necessity of making wills. It
told of the evils and embarrassments which
frequently follow a neglect of this import
ant though disagreeable duty, ami impress
ed it upon the readwr that will-making was
something that should not be postponed.
The article produced a deep effect upon
this man at once. The thought of making
a will had never entered his head before,
and he was on the down hill side of life,too.
lie turned it over and over in his mind.
True, he was in good health then, but lie
did not know what might happen. Men
in perfect health, apparently, had been
known to drop down dead. Set lie shrank
from making a will. It looked too much
like winding up one's worldly affairs for
the final jump into eternity. But 'lie
thought haunted him. He couldn't sleep
at nights on account of it. lie was sorry
that he knew anything about wills and re
gretted ihat he had ever read the article.
After growing nervous and thin and pah?
over the matter, lie finally screwed him
self up to the determination tint lie would
make his will, when he discovered that he
hadn't anything to will and never had. lie
fell better.
