AGRICULTURE.
A GOOD WXKDRR, —Get your blacksmith
to cut out a piece of piece of plow steel o
inches wide and six inches long for the
blade. By drilling two holes in the centre
he can fasten on the shank for the handle,
which should be forked and provided with
a socket for the insertion of the handle,
tfnd should lie set at an angle of forty-five
degrees to the plane of the blade. The 2
long edges should De drawn thin and shar
pened. You have uow one of the most
effective weediug hoes ever invented, and
it is not patented. It has a double edge,
and CAn be worked equally well by pulling
or pushing. It passes along just under or
ou the surface and effectually cuts off eve
ry weed between the young plants in the
row without too much disturbance of the
suiface. It is not intended as a cultivator
of course, but as a vreeder is hard to beat,
CTTTING THE CULL®, —Milch cowe arc
greatly benefitted ami will increase ami
'.uuintaiu the flew of milk if fed upon the
little potatoes, Irish or sweet, which are
left over from the crop, and are too small
to sell or use at home. But they should l e
cut fine. A good plan is to have a trough
or sleut box in which, after washing, the
potatoes can be cut with a commou spade;
but a better plau is to take au old spade or
hoe or tire shovel, and by attachiug a stout
short handle, provide au implement ex
pressly for the purpose and save the wear
and tear and rust of the spade.
As a general thing, says a sensible wri
ter, all of our farm tools are too heavy.
Generally speaking, the farm wagon that
will bear up under a ton weight with ease
is plenty heavy enough for all practical
purposes to which a farm wagon should l>e
put. If you want to haul two tons it is
far better and cheaper in the end to make
two loads of it. The saving m horse flesh
and feed, will, in a few years, amouut to
enough to buy a new cue and have some
thing left tor profit. if you are alwut or
dering a new* wagon have it made light
and of the best material and you will nev
er regret it
C. 11. JOHNSON talis the Fruit Grower
that by going carefully over his grounds
several times each season and removing
and burning all plants showing raspberry
rust he has succeeded to such an extent
that no more than half a dozen cases ot
the disease appeared last year in the whole
of his three acres devoted to this frnit,
while another crower at some distance,
"lost alncst his entire stock without
knowing the cause.
A HAY HOOK.—A very convenient little
article is my hay hook, made from the
stem of a young iree cut t ff about four in
ches below its junctuie with a short branch
the branch out off about the same distance
from the stem, both sharpei ed to a round
ing pint, and tne upper part of the stem
for a handle about Phree feet in length.
This is a proper implement for pulling hay
out of th 2 stack or mow.

WHILE there are grapes of finer quality

But a vineyard is not complete withoui
the Utile Deiaware, the Catawba, Clinton

every vine grower has his favorite variety,
one specially adapted to his soil, locality,
and general surroundings.
ALMOST simultaneously fiom lowa City,

THOUK who live in the country n<cd to
give their cellars special attention just
now. Disease lurks in the decayiug veg
etables, if such there be, See that the
cellar has good ventilation somewhere else
than through the cellar door and stairway.
ONIONS must not be allowed to freeze
and thaw alternately Through the Winter;
as this is injurious tc them. (Spread them
on the barn floor, where the quantity it
large, and cover with hay or straw. Or
they may be kept in barrels headed up and
put in a cold place.
PROFESSOR REAL recommends to p°ck
celery and other vegetables in damp moss
for keeping through winter. It is said
that vegetables thus paefced will not onl)
keep a long time but reiaih their flavor and
quality so well that they ZHD hardly be dis
tinguished from fresh ones.
THE water courses carry millions of tons
of fertilizing material to the rea. The Nile
alone pours over a thousand tons of nitrate

are not inferior to them in any respect for
farm purposes.
A FEEDING BOX. —A handy substitute
for a basket, in winch to carry corn, vege
tables, etc., from the house or crib to the
stables, is a stout box eighteen inches
square and ten incLes deep, with a handle
ot hickory bent and fastened to the sides
with screws. It will last a lifetime, and
can be made to any exact measure.
THEKE is considerable advantage realiz
ed in turning off youDg animals as young
as possible after getting a good growth, as
it requires less capital in conducting the
business of breeding and feeding, and the
risks of accidents, diseases and all other
things are much lessened.

DOMESTIC.
HINTS FOR -WOMEN, —Tho fsoo anon
cold and winds is upon us. Those ewra
on the farms are more or less exposed
to the inclemencies of the season.
Whether wife or daughter you do not
entirely belong to yourself. Your prec
ious health and lives aro important to
you aud to those dependent on you.
Exposure on "blue Monday," getting
through with the family washing, ex
poses the wife or daughter to many
jnrils. Over the hot suds and in prob
ably a hot room, with sleeves rolled up,
the wood, the water or the "clothes line
are out in the cold, where the bleak
winds pierce the very marrow, lu the
hurry one is tempted to go bareheaded,
with bare arms, and thinly clad to the
wood shed or probably the wood pile
buried 111 the snow, or the well or pniuip
at the corner of the house whore the
fierce winds cut to the heart. Detained
longer than anticipated, severe colds are
contracted, which aro neglected uutil
pulmonary troubh • ensue, followed by
consumption and death. Will not you
who are so valuable to husband, child
ren, father and brothers—and who have
such sanguine hopes of a Jong life of
happiness—take care of yourself? If
compelled to go from a hot room and
steaming suds, put on a shaw 1 , eli>so and
comfortable; some protection to the
head; roll down the sleeves, and put ou
over-shoes. You eau, too, make your
self a cheap but comfortable pair of
cloth mittens in which to hang out or
bring in clothes, wood, or perform any
other outdoor chore, which even the
best and most delicate women are ealied
on to perform. But take care of your
selves. Your health and lite are mere
valuable to your friends than stoek,
houses or lands.
TUKXEY SOUP. —For four quarts of
soup use the carcass of a cold roast tur
key; cut all the meat from the bones
and reserve it; break up the bones aud
put them into a saucepan with any skin,
lorce-meat aud gravy which may be on
hand—the bones which may have been
served at the table should be saved for
this soup; add to the bones four quarts
of water, a large white turnip aud a
medium-size carrot peeled, an onion
peeled and stuck with a doeen whole
cloves, a blade of mace, a sprig of thyme
or sweet marjoram, a stalk of celery, a
tablespoonful of salt and two table
spooutuls of tomato catsup or any good
table sauce. Let all those ingredients
boil slowly together for an hour, keep
ing the saucepan closely covered.
Then straiu the soup, season it highly
with salt and pepper, put into it the bits
of turkey meat and half a cupful of rice,
picked over and washed, and boil the
soup until the rice is just tender, which
will bo in about twenty minutes; then
serve the soup hot.
Scanners BREADED AND FBUD.—Pre
pare the scallops as directed in the recipe
ior Fried Scallops with Salt Pork; have
ready the frying-kettle half full of smok
iug-hot fat; beat two eggs smoothly,
,but not to a froth; put plenty of fine
silted bread-crumbs or cracker dust in
a large dish; roll the scallops first in the
crumbs, then dip them one by one in
the egg, taking care not to wash off the
crumbs, and letting the egg drain off
them; roll them again in the crumbs,
and fry them in smoking-hot fat; when
the scallops are brown take thorn up
with the skimmer, lay them for a mo
ment on brown paper to free them from
fat, and then serve them hot, with
sliced lemon, water-cresses, or fried
parsley. Remember in breadnlg the
scallops to dip only one hand in the
beaten egg, and keep tho other dry to
roll the scallops about in the crumbs or
cracker dust.
SCALLOPS FKIED IN INDIAN MEAL.—
Follow the general directions for wash
ing and drying the scallops. While
they are being dried put over the tire a
frying-kettle hall full of fat, and let it
get smoking hot; then quickly roll the
scallops in Inaian meal, seasoned with
salt and pepper; drop them into the
hot fat and fry them a light brown; as
soon as they are brown take theui up
with a skimmer, lay tlicm for a moment
on brown paper, to free them from fat,
and then serve them hot. Slices 01
lemon served with the scallops greatly
improve the flavor and appearance ot
the dish. If water-cresses are in season,
they may replace the lemon.
FRIED PARSLEY.— Choose full stalks
of parsley, carefully remove all imper
fect or decayed leaves, wash it well in
plenty of salted cold water, and npread
it on a clean towel to dry. When it is
quite free Irom water, gather the stalks
in the right hand, and quickly dip the
leaves into smoking-hot fat lor a mo
meut to crisp them. If the parsley is
put into the fat with any moisture on
it a cloud of steam will arise, and there
will be great danger of burning the
hand seriously; but if it is carefully
dried the operation can be informed
with perfect safety.
HERE IS a recipe for making coffee
(uot German;: Grind two gills of roas
ted Rio coffee as fine as possible. Put
into a common tin coffee-pot. Add two
tin-cupfuls of cold water and set on the
back part of the stove and let it oome
to a boil gradually. When a' the boil
ing point set off' and serve. It requires
no addition to settle it, as it is beauti
fully clear. The above quantity will
make six medium cupfuls of No.'l cof
fee, good enough tor any man, and very
easily made. Try it.
SSPONOB ROIL. —Two eggs beaten very
light, 1 teacupful of light brown or
wnite sugar, 3 teaepoonluls of sweet
cream, 1 heaping teaspoonful of baking
powder thoroughly mixed with 1 tea
cupful of flour. Stir all together till
very light, bake in a quick oven, have
a napkin ready spread with sugar, turn
out on the napkin, spread with any kind
of jelly, jam or applebutter. Roil up
while hot and cover with a napkin until
cold before cutting.
A TEMPTING DISH,— A nice dish for
the supper of a convalescent is made by
toasting two thin slices of bread; flatten
and soften the crust by pounding it a
little; butter the toast while hot, put
one slice on a warm plate and spread
over it a thin layer of cooked chicken,
chopped or cut in small bits; season
with pepper and salt, add a soft-boiled
egg, then lay the other slice of toast
o; er it.
PIGEONS WITH LITTLE PEAS.— Truss
the pigeons, put them over the lire with
fat pork and butter, let tliem brown
slowly, add small green peas, and sea
son them with but little salt and pepper.
Wet a very little flour with some broth
or soup, pouring it over the birds and
stewing them until tender.
Do not put soap in the water with
