AGRICULTURE APPLICATION clr I.IMF, — Thousands of bushels of lime are annually thrown away by improper methods of application, Every fanner is a believer in tfce benefits derived from lime, and even on limestone lauds it ia used with advantage. As all plan s contain more or less lime it not only rerves as an m portant element of food but lu some sections its use is an absolute necessi ty. It may be safely said that all soils contain some lime. Lime in the soil, being principally in the shape of carbonate, is little influenced by the action of rains. When limestone is burnt it merely loses its carbonic acid, and when we slack it with water the lime urites with water, which crystallizes and forms hydrate of lime. After awhile, by attiacting carbouic acid from the air, the lime becomes again a car bonate. and is then in the same condition aa before burning- that is, it has become once more limestone in a fine condition. Lime is often bought and slacked, and then placed aside until some convenient time arrives for putting it on the laud; and as the process of slacking is considered an ordinary occurence it is sometimes done carelessly. When it is ready to be broad casted it generally goes to the tieid in lumps or in the shape of fine gravel. The farmer who knows how to use lime is very careful to apply the lime, if possible, as a tine powder, for then the benefit from its application is more direct; it reaches every part, and less quantity is required, which amp l )' repays lor the labor of nrepajation. Clover, peas, beans, potatoes, &c., are lime plants, and we can account for the benefi cial effects of plaster (sulphate of lime) by knowmg that it is slightly soluble in water, and every ram dissolves portions of it,thus furnishing ready lime food, The freshly slacked lime when m the shape cf a hy drate is also dissolved by water, and as its effects are not oalj shown in the growth of the crop hut also as a chemical agent in the soil, the advantage ot using judgment and care iu its preparrtion and application can be seen at oDoe. In the first place, in slacking the freshly burnt lime too much water should be guarded against. Use it sparingly, as the lime will become liner, and contain fewer lumps. After the lime is dry every bushel of it should be sifted, lumps broken and the whole mass brought t* a fine, powdered condition. Applied in such a tine condition, time will convince the fanner that the labor expended will be as nothing compared to the difference be tween the lime in that condition and when in a Jumpy or giavelly sta f e, The tenden cy of lime is downwards in the earth, for the rain always takes with it mere or less lime whenever it fails, and the kinds of lime mcst subject to the action of moisture are those that are in the finest possible state of division. Hard lumps that have revei ted to limestone are almost useless, and their application is extravagance. It is admitted that there arc UDScen and often unknown agencies that work even upon the lumps, but the processes are slower and less certain than when by a little care the lime is broadcasted over the so l in a fresb, pulverized condition. PROVIDE FOR SHORT FEED. —The provi dent dairyman, whether milk-raiser, but ter or cheese-maker, will soon be putting in some kind of forage crop to help the short pasturage that is almost sure to come about the first of July. We urge attention to this matter now. It is full feed that makes the full bag. One of the best crops to sow for this purpose, is oats, barley and peas, a mixture of one-third each. This crop can te put in as soon as the ground is enough to wcrk. The ground should have a liberal dressing of manure or fertil izer, spread on alter ploughing and well worked into the soil with the harrow, and then seeded at the rate cf three bushels per acre. The Canada pea] is best for this crop, but we have bad good success with the marrowfats and advancer. Put in the crop, and if not needed as help for the pasture, it can be cut and cured for hay. if the land ie highly manured and the crop is cut before the seed is formed, or just before blossoming, it will continue to grow the same as grass and will produce another crop. The peas will not amwunt to anything in the second growth, but the oats and barley will cover tbe ground and make a heavy second crop. Tnis mixture is one of the best of our forage crops. ROOT PRUNING. l'he experiments were made on the apple and pear. A vigorous apple tree, 8 cr 10 years old, which had scarcely made any fruit buds, has done best when about half the roots were cut in one season and half three years lat*r, by golnir half way around on opposite sides in one year and finishing at the next pruning, working two feet underneath to sever downward root*. It has always answered well, also, to cut from such trees all the larger and ionger roots about two and a half feet from the stem, leavine the smal ler and weaker ones longer, and going half way around, as already stated. The oper ation was repeated three or four years later by extending the cut circle a foot or x two furtner away from the tree. By this oper ation unproductive fruit trees became ttuckly studded with fruit spurs, and after ward bore profusely. This shortening of the roots has been continued in these expe riments for twenty j ears with much suc cess, the circle cf roots remaining greatly circumscribed. The best time for the work has been found to be in the latter part of August and beginning of September, when growth has nearly ceased, aDd whde the leaves are yet on the trees, causing grea'er increase ot bloom buds the followin? year than when performed after the leaves have fallen. THE old fogy farmer's orchard is al ways overrun with insect pests of every description. His "oply remedy, " when they become unpleasantly noticeable is to cut down the infected trees and burn them. Intelligent farmers don't plow under grow ing crops to kill the weeds which have ■pruhg up since the last cultivating. Fight insects as you fight weeds. ALL crowding of branches should be prevented by regular attention, for the sudden removal of quantities of wood is not unfrequently attar ded with loss of crop aDd impaired energy for years after; there fore, when necessary, remove annually a few of the worst crossing branches, aud prevent other young ones from proceeding in wroEg directions by cutting back or re moval. DE. YOELCKEK rtcentiy stated before a meeting of the Butish Dairy Farmers' Association that he found that food given to a cow while in milk would be converted into milk within six hours from tne time it is eaten, and that a rapid improvement in the quality of the milk follows a change from poorer to richer food. He also spoke very decidedly in favor of soi'ing as against pasturing, the latter being a most wasteful method of feeding. A NEW JESSEY farmer reports that a dressing of eight bushels per acre of salt to land badly infested with white grubs enabled him to raise good crops of corn for three years past, which was impossible previous to this application. IT is estimated that 11,000,000 bushels Ol corn will be used this year by the vari ous manutactories of glucose in the United States. DOMESTIC. TilB&K slice* of bread shown by a Lewiston flour dealer Thursday suoko for themselves. Placed side by side, they shaded very abruptly into three strikingly distinct tints. Onjp was of the hue of Graham and fell iuto your hand like a half-baked brick. Auother was nearly whiie, and would be greet*d with pleasure by a hungry niau. The third was so white that snow would have to be bleached to compare with it; moreover, it possessed that spongy tex ture which is so gratifying to the eater, and a source of so much pride to the cook. It threatened to dissolve in one's mouth, and would tempt a gorged epi cure. It would be a strain to say one could distinguish them in the dark. The flour dealer deposed that the three pliees of bread were made by three women from one and the same kind of flour. The cook who produced the first slice was dissatisfied with the flour, while the woman who made the broad last mentioned said she could make good bread out of flour that didn't cost less than four dollars a barrel. It is evident that bread-cooking is not one of the lost arts, but it is an art which still contains sufficient mystery to puzzle many and confonud not a few of the angels who hover over our flour barrels. EELS IN MATKLOTTK. —CIe.iu two pounds of eels, cut them in two-inch lengths, put them over the tire in plenty of cold water with a tablospoonful of salt, aud bring them to a boil; adi an onion stuck with cloves and two table spoonfuls of vinegar; boil them 15 rniu utes, tako them up, dry the eels 011 a clean cloth, roll them iu flour, and fry them brown iu a saucepan with about two tablespoonfuls of butter. When they are brown add a bouquet of herbs (which is made by tying together a few sprigs of parsley, celery, a bay leaf, half whole, ani half a dozen peppercorns) and a pint of boiling water; season the matelotte with a teaspoonful of salt and a quarter of a salt-spoonful of pepper. Pet 1 a pint of button onions, put them iu a saucepan with a teaspoonful each of butter and sugar, and toss them over the fire until brown; then add them to the matelotte and simmer it one hour. If the sauce evaporates add enough l>oiling water to make up the origiual quantity. When the matelotte is done add a glass of wine to it, and serve some croutons of fried bread, made by frying small heart -shaped slices of stale bread light brown in smokiug hot fat. DUST FURNITURE WITH A WIT CHAMOIS. —A Paris jourmd of bygmie warns housekeepers against the use of u feath er duster, instead of a wet cloth. The duster simply chases the particles from the furniture into the air, where they arc inhaled. Dust is formed of innu merable quantities of spores aud eygs and germs, as well as of inert matter, A flourish of the duster may set loose au assassinating germ. The dangerous par tides attach themselves roadily to the dampened cloth. The origin of many diseases is traceable to the mere s|>eeks which ought to be removed, aid nit simply stirred up. RHUBARB JELLY.— Take some rhubarb, wipe it with a clean wet cloth, peel it, aoii cut it into pieces an inch long. To each pound of rhubarb add J pound ol white sugar. Put it to boil tor about ten minutes, or until the juice is well drawn. Strain it into a preserving pan, let it boil quickly until it clings to the spoon, skim it aud put it into jam pots or moulds. The quickest way to know if it will set is to drop, a little oil a plate to cool. CEMENT FOR GLASSWARE. —For mend ing valuable glass objects, which would be disfigured by common cement, chrome ceaieut may be used. This is a mixture of five parts of gelatine to one of a solution of acid chromate of lime. The broken edges are oovered with this, pressed together and exposed to sunlight, the effect of the latter be ing to render the compound insoluble even in boiling water. HAM TOAST. —Mince finely a quarter of a pound of cooked ham with au an chovy boned and washed; add a little cayenne and pounded mace, beat up two eggs; mix with the mince, and add just sufficient milk to keep it moist; make it quite hot, and serve on small rounds of toast or fried bread. AyrrooTE FOR IVY POISONING. —Bathe the parts affected freely with spirits of Ditre. If the blisters be broken, so as to allow tlis Ditre to penetrate the cuti cle, more than a single application is rarely necessary, and even where it is applied to the burface of the skiu three or four times a day, there is rarely a trace of the poison left uext morning. A VERY easy way to poach eggs is to get boiling water in your muffin tins and set them on the hottest part of the stove; break the eggs in the saucer, then drop one in each tin; iu two or three minutes they will be done, and can be taken up one at a time m good shape with the help of a small straiuer; season with butter, pepper and salt. BREAKING GLASS.— To break glass any required form may make a notch with a file on the edge cf the glass; draw your finger, starting from the notch; make a small rod of iron red-hot and draw it aloDg the lines; a crack will follow the iron, and the glass can then be easily broken. WHITE WINK JELLY.—Pour one pint of cold water on six sheets of isiuglass; let it stand until dissolved. Then pour a pint of boiling water on it, and add the juice and grated rind of one lemon, one pint of sugar and one wineglass of white wine. Let it stand until it hard ens. LAMB STEAK dipped in egg, and then in biscuit or bread crumbs, and fried until it is brown, helps to make variety for the breakfast table. Wiih baked sweet potatoes, good coffee and butter ed toast or corn muffins, one may begin the day with courage. To WASH Calicos, put wheat bran in a bag, boil and tako half the water to wash in; else no soap. This will cleanse them without fading and stiffen them without starch. Iron the wrong side and they will look like new. IF THE stove is cracked, a good ce ment is made for it as follows: Wood ashes and salt in equal proportions, re duced to a paste with cold water, and filled in the cracks when the stove is cool. It will soon harden.

Immense Demand for Vegetine. WK are not at all surprised to learn tnat the demand of the people everywhere for that famous medicine, Yexetliie, 1m constantly becom ing more and more extended, it IIUM long been in demand all over our own country, amf had some time ago made Its way luto various foreign lands. At the present time the esteemed proprietor, Mr. 11. It. Stevens, of lloston, is sending It to order to some of the remotest foreign countries; and It seems now evident that Vcxctine Is to become a universal medicine. It is a "patent medicine," but it has gained its fame and made its way every where on us own Intrinsic merits. Such were the unmistakable and umlcuiable results of the use of this astonishing and, at this day, world-renowned medicine, in speedily effecting cures of the very numerous diseases or ills for which It was de clared to be a remedy, that people everywhere were open and decided in expressing their opinion that this "patent medicine" must not only be ranked eqiiul with, but altogether superior to, all the regular "doctors' stuff'' thut had ever beeu given lu sickness. There was ami there could be no dispute at>out the astonishing cures effected by the medicine. The doctors could not deny them—especially as many of such cures had been effected in the most resectable, wealthy and well-known families, where the suffering invalids had obtained and taken the Vegetine as a last resort, after the regu lar physicians had utterly failed to do them any good. Moreover, testimonial letters from perfectly well-known persons ut high standing an 1 of un doubted charact t*r ami veracity t>egau to pour In upon Mr. 11. It.
