Farm Notes. Do not color butter too, much when adding artificial coloring matter. Over- ly colored butter looks as mean as an article perfectly white. Cottonseed meal is more nutritious than linseed meal, but the latter is preferred, owing to its beneficial effects on the animals in regulating digestion. Granular butter is made by stopping the churn as soon as the butter isin a granular state. Then draw off the but- termilk. A few gallons of weak brine is sometimes added and drawn off. Don’t let earth or rubbish accumu- late around the sills of the barn or sheds; if you do it will not be many years before the expense and trouble of a new sill will have to be incurred. The texture of well-ripened golden- rod honey is not quite equal to clover, but thicker than the average of what is denominated the yield from fruit bloom—the product of orchards and gardens. The New York 77ibune says that lard softened with kerosene until it will just flow in summer heat makes as good oil for mowers, etc., as that sold by dealers at 100 per cent. profit —much better than some of it. The longer the corn-fodder remains stacked in the field the darker it will become in color from exposure, and the greater the deterioration in the qffality of the blades. Bright fodder is more highly relished by stock, as it is tender, while exposed fodder gradually becomes tough. They get at the real value of a cow in Sussex county, N. J., by selling her at so much a quart. Thus if the cow gives twenty quarts of milk daily she is worth $2.50 a quart, or $50. The purchaser keeps the cow on trial a few days. An apple or cherry tree is much more valuable if it shoots out low. Trim from the top, as this will cause the lower branches to grow out. June is the best time for trimming, as the wounds will soon heal and gardeners are less busy than in May. No rule can be laid down for salting butter to make it the most satisfactory to the consumer. Tastes differ. Some want a great deal of salt and others none. Unless you supply a private customer, therefore, salt at the rate of from three-quarters to an ounce per pound. National Stockman and Farmer says : Professsr Tracy put five cows in the hands of a poor milker for two weeks, and then gave them to a good milker for the same time, neither milker knowing that a comparison was being made, and got 2ud.5 pounds (44.9 pounds per cow)gain in quantity of milk by the change. Peach trees will sometimes partially renew themselves if the dead limbs and twigs are cut away. In this man- nep a tree may be induced to bear a year or two longer, but when the tree is old, and the new wood grows slowly it may be of little advantage to attempt to prclong its existence. It should be set down as a rule, and strictly adhered to, that no noxious plant should be permitted to mature its seed on any part of the farm or along any roadside contignous to the farm. It is the bounden duty of every farmer to destroy and utterly exter- minate the weeds on ithe roads that pass through or along his farm. Small breeds of fowls lay as large eggs as do the large breeds. The Black Spanish produces the largest eggs. The Leghorn, which is a sniall fowl, lays large white eggs. The Brah- ma and Cochin, which are the largest breeds of fowls, lay dark eggs. They are also excellent. winter layers, but are slow in reaching maturity. Quince trees are benefitted by heavy manuring more than any other fruit trees, and if the ground around the trees is well covered with manure this fall the beneficial effects of the manure will be very marked next spring. Too much manure around peach trees, however, sometimes does harm, bat a light covering of compost will be bene- ficial. In regard to cutting off the seed ends of potatoes and throwing them away, J. M. Smith says: Last spring I saved a bushel of the seed ends and planted them by themselve right in the middle of the piece of two or three acres that I was planting: acd I found, when we ccme to dig them, that the yield was just about the same, and the potatoes about the same size. But those com- ing from the seed ends were nearly a week earlier than the others. It requires but a smali plot of rasp- berries to give an abundant supply ‘for a family. They shonld not be set out until late in the fall or early spring, and if a protected location be selected for them they wiil bear a little earlier than if exposed. The raspberry de- lights in a rich soil, and the canes should be well manured every season. The red variety is the best, and sends up new plants from the roots, which soon gives a thick mass of canes in the row. The black caps are propagated by rooting the the tips of the canes, which are bent to the ground and cov- er-d, W. Brazelton tells in Hoard's Dairy- man how the on his calves. He says get a stick of caustic potash, then when the calf is, say, 10 days old* take it by both ears, stand straddle of it.then lew an assistant have a little water, wet thie piace where the horn would come, then atter wrapping he kills horns a rag around one end of the caustic. rub the other end on the horn spot. It being wet, will dissolve enough of the caustic to cause a dry seab to torm., [If thoroughly bibed for, say, a minute, one operation is all-sutlicient. Mr. Brazelton's ealy 1X months old thus treated have not a =i fa horn. Ji Q | side down. Good Peach Recipes. Although the present peach season is about over the following will be found useful for future seasons: Friep Pracues.—DBrush the skins well of fine firm peaches. Halve them and removed the stones. Melt a little butter in a frying-pan, set on it the peaches, skin side down, and either salt and pepper or sugar. Do not le: them burn. Serve with roast veal or veal cutlets. Prac Por-rie.—Put into a baking dish, lined with paste, some sliced peaches ; sprinkle them with soft white sugar and a little powdered cinnamon. Let it bake slowly for three hours, un- til the juice candies. When cold it is very delicious. SweET Prckiep Pracaes.—Make a sirnp of five pounds of sugar and one pint of vinegar; let it come to a boil ; skim off the froth as it rises. Pare ripe peaches, seven pounds wiihout the skins—never leave the skins on-—stick three cloves in each peach, putthem in the sirup as soon as it begins to. boil, and let them cook until a broom-splint will run through them easily. Skim carefully, and when cooked add broken- up stick cinnamon to taste. Putin a covered stone jar. If the fruit rises to the surface, place a china plate in the jar to keep the fyait under the sirup ; otherwise it will turn dark. Prac Jax or Maryarape.—Peel and stone enough finely flavored, fully ripe peaches to weigh four pounds when thus prepared. Crush the fruit and boil quickly for three-quarters of an hour, stirring frequently. When partially boiled che fruit may be press- ed throngh a sieve, which will greatly improve the jam, but this is not abso- lutely necessary. When the fruit has boiled three-quarters of an hour add two pounds and a half of white sugar ; skim off the scum as it rises, and boil five minutes; and the strained juice of one or two lemons and a few of the blanched peach-kernels, continue the boiling for three minutes, and pour out the marmalade. Pracu Drserr.—Twelveripe peaches pared, stoned and cut in halves, three eggs and the whites of two more, one- half cup of powdered sugar, two table- spoonfuls of corn starch wet in cold milk, one tablespoonful of melted but- ter, one pint of milk. Secald the milk, stir in the starch, and when it begins to thicken take from the fire and put in the butter. When lukewarm whip in the beaten yolks until all are very light. Put a thick layer of peaches in a dish, stew the sugar and pour the custard over them. Bake in a quick oven ten minutes and spread with a meringue made of five whites whipped stiff, with a little powdered sugar. Shut the oven door until this is firm. Eat cold with cream. PreserveED Pracnes.—Weigh the fruit atter it is pared and the stones extracted, and allow a pound of sugar to every one of peaches. Put the sugar in a preserving kettle and make the sirup as directed ; after it is strained putit back; let it just boil; lav the peaches in and let them boil steadily until they are tender and clear. Take them out with perforated skimmer and lay upon flat dishes, crowding as little as possible. Boil the sirnp almost to a jelly—that is, until clear and thick, skimming off all the scum. Fill the jars two-thirds full of the peaches, pour on the boiling sirup, and when cold cover with brandy tissue paper, then with a cloth, lastly with thick pa- per tied tightly over them, or put th2m in air-tight jars. Pracn Suorr Cake.—Take two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted into one quart of flour, a scant half teacup of batter. two tablespoon- ful of sugar, a little salt, enough sweet mild or water to make a soft dough. Roll it ont about as thin as pie-crust, Place a layer in a baking pan, spread with a very little buiter ; sprinkle on that some flour. Then add another layer of crust and spread as before; go on until the crust 1s all used. It is best to have a pan 14 inches by 7, and that will have room for four lay- ers of crust. Dake for about fifteen minutes in a quick oven, turn out gp- Take off’ the (then) top layer, put in a dish,spread plentifully with ripe eyt peach that bave been previously sugared down. Put layer vpon layer on the same way, and you will have a handsome cake,to be served hot with sugar and cream. Jerri Pracups.—Soak an ounce and a half or three-quarters ot a pack- et of gelatine in halt a pint of water in a warm place. Peel and stone five ripe peaches, boil the peels in water to cover them, stew for an honr gently, strain the sirup thus made, mix it with the gelatine while boiling hot and stir until it dissolves. Pour this sirup over the cut-up peaches, stir in a cup of sugar, pour into a mold and set on ice. A few peach kernels cracked and mixed with the fruit is a greatimprove- ment. These jellied fruits admit of great variety. They are delicious ice- cold and eaten with cream. It takes two ounces of gelatine in hot weather to make one quart of liquid into jelly ; therefore you must reckon the amount of juice you have to solidify. Juice and water will amount to nearly three | half pints. Avoid too firm a jelly; it should tremble after it leaves mold, yet keeps its form. Gelatine is always better melted withont boiling, and if stirred in a warm part of the stove will readily dissolve without, and the fruit also retains its fresh uncook- ed flavor by being mixed with the gela- tine without cookiag. ——1'irst Old Lady—Conductor, raise this window ; I shall smother to death !

Silence in the car. the | Our Children’s Eyes. A mother sends the following kindly, wise words : Allow me to say a few words in regard to the children’s eyes. Years ago, when the ‘children studied their lessons from their books, we did not hear very much about their eyes giving out. Let us consult our blacs- boards and see what they can tell us about this world wide subject. Dear parents and guardians all over this broad land, how many hours through the day are your little children sitting in school staring at a black board, up- on which are placed by the teacher most of the lessons for the day, many times the lines so fine and pale they could not be read more than half or two thirds the way across the room, but the children are required to see them all the way across and from the remo- test corners. Many of children when first looking at the board do not see much if anything, but by looking very sharp for a few seconds the lines reveal themselves. This,. my friend, means strained eyes, and strained eyes mean weaked or diseased optic nerves, possi- bly no eyes at all—it all depend- ing upon theseverity of the strain. Even when the work is quite distinct, for children who have naturally weak eyes the distance many times is so great that the air waves coming be- tween the poor, tired eyes and the board cause the lines to waver and flicker, and especially is this the case when the light is poor and the ventilation bad. Any- thing put on the board for children to see, whether old or young, should have large proportions and broad, clear lines throughout, so that no extra efforts will have to be made to discover it. There is a great difference in eycs; one child will readily see what another could not without the fatal strain. Iknow where of I speak, for my own eyes were near- ly destroyed through this same practice and I know others who have suffered a like fate.—New York Tribune. A Goop Bov.—A man with his i*ft arm in a sling was telling a passen- ger on a Fort street car what ailed him, and how it happened. Said he: “My boy Henry likes to go hunting, und so last Soonday I takes my gun und goes oudt by der Norris road mit him to kill some squirrels. Pootysoon we vhas separated, und I goes along by a thicket und Henry shoots me mit his shotgun.” Accidentally, of course.” “Of course. He sees me creeping along, und takes me for a wolf.” “A wolf! Why, there isn’t a wolf within 500 miles ot Detroit.” “Dot vhas so, but Henry doan’ know it until we comes back home. He feels werry bad aboud it. Henry vhas a good boy, und next time he doan’ make sooch a mistake—he shoots me for a woodchuck !"—Detroit Free Press. Business Notices. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
