AGRIC CJLTURE.
WHAT A PINT OF MANURE DID.—A
Wisconsin farmer sends this experience:
"Last yearj in haulirg yard manure across
a field afterwards planted to corn, some of
it icattered off in driblets—from * handful
to a pint or so in a place. When planting
the corn, I found portions of these drop
pings, and where noticed, drew them into
the hills and with the hoe mixed them a
little with the soil as the seed was dropped.
In three instances where a large handful or
about a pint of the manure was thus put
in, a stick was driven down to mark the
hill*. When hoeing, we noticed that in
these hills the corn plants had started off
more vigorously, were gieener, and at the
third hoeiug they were 6 to 13 inches high
er than the other hills adjoining. Our cu
riosity being awakened we followed up
the observations, and when gathering the
crop, each of the three stalks in the three
hills, had two large plump ears, while thr
surrounding corn did not average one good
ear to the stalk. This set us to thinking
and figuring. That bit of manure had
given the young corn roots a vigorous start
just as good feed starts off a young calf,
or pig, pr lamb, and the roots penetrated
further in every direction and gathered
more food and moisture. These stalks be
ing bettei nourished trom below, ran "far
away from the poorly fed neighbors. As
to the figures, the rows were 8 J feet apart,
and the hills three feet distant in the rows,
say 4,000 hills on an acre, and 4,000 ptnts
of manure is about 02$ bushels, or two
large wagon loads. Anybody cau reckon
the difference between six large, well filled
ears of corn on each hill, and less than 8
per hill, and the cost of the manure as
"compared with the total value of the final
crop The plowiug, and the seed, and
the hoeiug, amount to the same in each
ease. All I have to say is, that every corn
hiil planted on my farm this year will have
at least a pint of manure in it.
APPU POMACE AS A MANURE —Apple
pomace, as well as the leaves of the tree,
if spread thickly on the land while in a
green state," will destroy all vegetation be
neath them. When put into large heaps
tney have been known to kill trees.
Their deleterious effects upon vegetation
are rot because they do net contain any
fertilizing properties but because they con
tain, while in a green state, too great a
proportion of add for their other ingredi
ents. They also pack so closely together
as to exclude both air and light, without
which vegetable growth cannot long exist.
Some years ago 1 mulched, pretty heavifj,
some strawberry plants with about half
iTied cherry and apde tree leaves, with a
view to protect them during wintar. The
result was the death of nearly all my planis
by spring, and the i&nd remained sour
most of the following summer. If apple
pomace be put ID a bep and expesed to
me frost of winter, ard in thespnugincor
porated with some dry straw or com cobs,
with a small portion of uns'acked lime,
and again left exposed to the summer suns,
by fall the acid will be mostly exhausted,
aud the compost makes an excellent top
dressing for winter wheat. It may be used
to advantage during winter as a top dres
sing for meadows or other gra< land. Ii
should not be used untjj the acid has evap
orated. For the destruction of any of the
vane les of L uaria (will flax), yarrow,
milfoil or any other noxious perenniel
plant, 1 UDOW of nothing better than a lib
eral application of salt. Salt, when usetf
sparingly on growing crops, somewnat dis
tant lruiu the seocost. is an excellent fer
tilizer. When used in large quantities it
becomes a speedy exterminator of vegeta
ble matter. It also puts the land into ex
celknt condition for future crops.
RAISING THE SUNFLOWER FOR ITS SEED.-
KT a year or two the subject of feeding
the seed of sunflowers to fowls has been
referred to in poultry journals frequently
with approval, and we have seen no word
m opposition. Altnough this flower, if it
can be so called, has come into favor even
among ladies and some pantaloon crea
tures who are said to be of ma !e gender,
it is by no mears an attractive floral attri
bute. If is something among flowers that
the elephant is apiong beasts, huge and
uncouth. Still if it possesses the merit of
producing wholesome food for the feather
ed tribe, it is to that extent so much be
yond flowers ID solid value.. But it being
proved thai it is a plant of more or less
value for its seed, and being very hardy in
its nature, it substitutes usefulness for
beauty; and as it will grow in every out-of
the-way corner and place, where scarcely
anyihing else can be cultivated, it can be
honestly recommended to the keeper ot
fowls to appropriate such plots of ground
to the raising of it for its seed. "It would
not require much space to produce Iroin 3
tofive bushels of seed, which would be a
substantial addition to the winter season's
supply of chicken-food.
THE TUBEROSE AND GLADIOLUS. —These
bulbs have been produced of late years in
such quantities that they are now sold at
prices winch bring them within the reach
of all. The Tuberose, so valued for its
fragrance, is often Injured by being plant
ed too early. The first of May is soon
enough to start the bulbs; they may be
planted in pots or boxes of soil, and placed
m the green house, or in a warm room, and
tney will be sufficiently advanced to be
planted in the open groun I by the last of
May or part of June. They
slioulahave a warm, rich spot, and the
flower stalk, as it develops, be supported
by a slender stake. The Gladiolus, on the
other hand, is almost hardy. - It affords a
w.de range of colors, and a bed of tbem is
very showy. Mixed, unnamed bulos, can
be bought at a much less price than the
uamed kinds. Tbey should be planted a
foot apart with the top of the bulb at least
two inches below the surface. It is weL
to plant a portion of the bulbs every two
weeks until the first halt of June to insure
a continuous bico n. It is well to stake
the flower stalks to keep them from being
broken down by the wind just as they are
in their prime.
CARE OF PASTURES —A good permanent
pasture, bandy to the barnyard, is very
convenient, almost a necessity, on every
well regulated farm. Such a field needs to
be well fertilized and cared for, that it ma
give the best return in an abundant supp'y
of green food, for farm stock. A top
dressing of fine, well-rotted manure in win
ter is excellent, but if not done, a dressing
of 50 to 100 pounds of nitrate soda per
acre may be applied. It is best to sow
this just before a shower, that the ram
may carry this very soluble food to the
roots of the plants. After supplying the
necessary fertilizers, it is important not to
overstock the pasture. Let the adjustment
between the number of animals and tbe
capacity of the field be such, that there
may be good leedmg throughout the
whole season, If such a pasture has a na
tural spang, its value is mucn increased.
The next to this is a well, provided with a
windmill, for raising an abundant supply
of water.
THOSE who use iime as a fertilizer apply
from ten to fifty bushels to the acre; ashes
may be applied at the same rate, salt at
the rate of two hundred to four hundred
pounds, and plaster at the rate of one
hundred pounds.
DOMESTIC.
ROYAL CORN BREAD.— Make a pint of
butter of two-thirds nice corn meal and
one-third coarse tlour stirred in water ;
it stand in a warm place until it fer
ments well; then add warm water, two
or three spoonfuls or molasses, a tea
spoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of
soda, or enorgli to correct the acidity,
then thicken with corn meal and coarse
tlour, iu the some proportion as at first,
making the batter alxiut the same con
sistency as for griddle cakes; oil your
baking disli and fill about half full, al
ways have about a pint of the batter to
start with again. Place the loaf in a
steamer and steam it two hours for a
two-quart loaf, and bake it in the bven
about thirty minutes to brown it. The
same recipe may be used for griddle
cakes.-
AN excellent plan to save old nap
kins aud table-cloths is to out out the
good parts and put them away in a bug,
appropriately labeled, and have them
ready for use in case of sickness. A
house-wife whose system is so complete
that it is hard to believe that she has
lived on eartli only about forty years
gives this advice, and she says also that
we should keep another bag with pieces
of fiaunol, and another with old cotton
doth, for the sumo purpose.
FRENCH OMELETTE. — Take four eggs,
separate the yolks f om the whites, beat
the white to a snow on a dinner plate ;
then Wat the yolks in a small ba*m
with sugar to taste, then add a small
piucli of baking soda and throe large
tablespooufuls of tlour, and milk
enough to make a thin batter; then
pour into an omelette-pan, previously
heated and greased, spread the white
over the top. Fire by holding high
above the fire till set brown on the top;
double over and serve hot with jam.
i
ORANGE JELLY. — Peel twelve large or
anges ; cut them into stu •11 pieces, and
squeeze tliein thoroughly through a lin
en bag. To one pint of juice mid one
ponud of sugar; when the sugar is dis
solved put it over the tire ; dissolve two
ounces of isinglass in just hot water
enough to cover it, and add it to the jel
ly as it Wgins to boil. Let it boil very
fast for twenty minutes. Put it hot in
to the jars, and tie it up with papers
dipped in brandy. Lemon jelly may be

Turn out into shallow dishes well butter
ed, and press it down smooth with a
wooden spoon.
ORANGEADE. — Pour a pint of boiling
water over a sliced orange. When cold
strain it, and sweeten it to suit the pal
ate. Another way : Squeeze the juice
from six oranges and two lemons into a
quart 6f boiling water, then slice tli°m
and put them in with the juice. Pour
the fluid frequently and quickly from
one jug to another, and strain it.
OAT MEAL PUDDING. — Mix two heap
ing tablespoonfuls in a half teacupful
of milk, sweeten to taste and stir over
the fire for ten miuutes ; then put in a

lay them out on water paper in pieces
about the size of a walnut; put three
or four pieces of almonds cut into thin
slips 011 each, and bake them ou a bak
ing plate in a slow oven one-half hour.
HASH made of two parts potato, one
part corn beef and one part beets is an
appetizing dish for breakfast. The po
tatoes and beets should be boiled the
day liefcre ; chop them and the beef
tine; season with butter, pepi>er and
salt, and some hot vinegar and mustard
may be added if you choose.
ROAST PIGEON.— Wipe them quite
dry, truss them, and season them in

each. Put them down to a sharp fire
and baste them all the.time they are
cooking. They will take about hAlf an
hour. Garnish them with white parsley
and serve with a tureen of bread sauce.
A DELICIOUS fish sauce is made of
half a cup of butter, one tablespoonful
of parsley chopped very fine, a little
salt, and pepper, and the juice of two
small lemons, or of one large one.
Warm the butter a little so that you can
easily lieat it to a cream, then mix with
the other ingredients, putting the pars
ley in last, just before sending it to the
table.
AN excellent way to warm a roast of
beef is to put it iu a kettle, and cover
the meat with, very thin slices of onions.
Scatter pepper and salt over them, put
iu a lump of butter, and just enough
water to keep the meat from burning;
let it warm slowly 011 the back part of

"James, go out and see what the

"Too much—too much !" replied the
magnate.. "James go out and see what
it will cost me to start an opposition

James sullied forth to get the figure,
and on his return reported that liulf u
million dollars would perhaps run one
for a year or so.
"Too much—too iufernal much!" was
the decided reply. "James, go out and

THE Brazos Independent is in
quandary about the mouth of the Brazos
river. Ita mouth is not wide enough nor
deep enough as it is now. We would
like to make a suggestion for the benefit
of those who want to see the mouth of
the Brazos "opened wider than it is.
Eleet the Brazos river to the Legisla
ture. The Brazos river has a great
many legislative qualifications. Like
most legislators, its origin is rather ob
scure. The Brazos river is very crook
ed. So is the average legislator. The
Brazos river never dries up completely.
That's the kind of creek a legislator is.
The current or flow of the Brazos is not
< learnt all, but rathermuddy, and often
is choked up with trash. It seems to
us that with these qualifications it can
not be kept out of the Legislature. It
is true it will huye the advantage over
some members of the Texas Legislature
by having a head of its own.
