FARM NOTES ADVANTAGES DECURED IN HAVING PYrLom TREES IN THE POULTRY Y Arp. —The plum is almost unknown to some fruit farms, having been driven out of existence by the curculio, yet it is considered one of the most de- liclous fruits grown in this latitude. The most successful plum-growers are those who combine poultry-raising {plum trees in the poultry yards) with fruit-growing, The peach has been found to thrive better in the poultry yard than anywhere else, and with changeable yards, 20 as to remove the bens whenoccasion demands, the straw- berry gives excellent results when the poultry yard is given up to it. But the greatest advantage is secured when lum trees are planted in the yards, as hey thrive and do well, while the lator of preventing the attacks of the curculio is greatly lessened by the aid derived on a small space, and at the same time the labor is no greater, while the soil is increased in fertility. The plan is to have the fowls divided into flocks of twenty-five, with two yards to each flock so as to permit of chang- ing the hens from one yard to another, as occasion demands, the object being to permit of spading the yards, thus turning under the manure, and also to grow some kind of early-maturing green food, such as mustard, radish, ete., thereby reducing the cost of food, as well as securing a larger supply of eggs, experience teaching that fowls do not thrive as well on an exclusive diet of grain as when given grain at night with green or bulky food during the day. The frequent changing of the fowls from one yard to another also prevents cholera, gapes in chicksand other diseases induced by flithy yards, The plum trees supply shade to the fowls in summer, and as they will resort to the tree for shade and to hunt for insects, they protect the trees from damage. The jarring of the trees in order to cause the curculio to fall is still practiced, but the hens destroy them as soon as they reach the ground. On one poultry farm near Lancaster, Mass,, where 3000 fowls have occasion ally been kept, all the yards contain pium trees, and the owner reports that he has no difficulty in securing good crops, while other trees, not in the poultry yard, bear nothing. Of the varieties of plums that will bear under . thess conditions may be mentioned the well-known damson, gage, Lombard and wild goose, which are, however, subject to rot in unfavorable seasons. Bat little attention is ne cessary for the trees other than jarring them, as the hens keep the weeds down. As soon as the hen is removed from the nest to the coop, give a little food, consisting of fine oatmeal, or bread soaked in milk, which is continued three or four days, wilh an occasional ly changed to any variety suitable to their age, until they are able to eat cracked corn, wheat and other whole grains, when the labor in feeding will be greatly reduced. A little meal and finely chopped vegetables will be useful are kept in limited quarters, Toere are many good remedies for the destruction of the cabbage worm. Kerosene Is excellenf, but it imparts its odor to the cabbage, which remains even until the cabbage is cooked, A sprinkling of pyrethrum over the plants is excellent, but it only serves as a preventive, the difficulty being to reach the worm after it enters the cabbage without injuring the cab- bage. The white butterfly is the parent of the cabbage worm, and if a close watch be kept and every white butterfly destroyed, which is not difficult, by catching them, there will be no cabbage worms, Tne squash bugs will now be busy, and the best mode of destreying them is to go over the vines early in the morning and kill them with the handa. in that manner one or two visits will save the vines, A solution made by disolving a pound of saltpetre in a tub of soapsuds and sprinking the vines will serve as a liquid fertilizer and par- tially prevent the ravages of the bugs. Look over your fruit trees in order to notice the borer. A little mass of chips or sawdust shows that the borer has entered the tree and must be dis- lodged with the point of the knife, Every day that it is allowed to remain renders its removal more difficult, If the orchard is protected from the borer the life of the trees will be greatly pro- longed, Honses that are compelled to per- form hard service should not receive a fixed allowance of food, but given all the hay they can eat, with an extra mess of oats at night, They should algo be protected from flies and Insects, in order to rest well, and Le in better condition for service the nex. day. Tae German wax bean will be found an excellent variety. It Is tender, of beautiful appearance, and is not stringy, like the Mohawk or Valentine varieties, They grow rapidly and pods in large clasters. Every garden should have them, and they thrive best in the warm season. WEAK rose bushes may be made to ADWAY The Creat Liver and I STOMACH REMEDY.

CABBAGE SALAD,.~—One small head of white cabbage, sliced fine with a keen knife; chopping bruises salads of the green kinds; one-half cup of vin- egar, and the same of boiling milk, one tablespoonfal of butter, one beaten egg, one tablespoonful of white sugar, pep- per and salt to taste, Scald the milk In one saucepan, the vinegar in an- other. the stove where it will scald, but not boil, Your the hot milk on the beaten egg. Return to the fire and stir until it begins to thicken. Turn the cabbage into a bowl, pour the hot milk and egg upon it, and mix thoroughly with a silver fork, contents are hot and set away where it will cool suddenly, Eat cold. A DeLciovs Peace Popping is made by putting enough whole peaches {with the skins removed of course) in a pudding dish and pouring over them two cups of water, Cover the dish, and set it in a hot oven. When the peaches are soft take the dish from the oven, til it is cool, then add to it a plot of sweet milk, four eggs, well beaten, a | small cup of flour with a teaspoonful | of baking powder mixed with it stirred | in so gradually and carefully as not to ibe at all lumpy, a tablespoonful of { melted butter, a little salt, and a cup { of sugar; beat them all together for | three or four minutes, then pour over { the peaches, set the dish in the oven, | bake until the top is a rich brown, Serve wilh sugar and cream, i bers in a jar and cover witha brine | made one part salt to four parts boiling water, and to every six cucumbers add | one onion, let stand twenty four hours. | — wipe dry and put back in the jar, make [a pickle of one quart of vinegar, two | ounces of brown sugar, two sticks of | cinnamon, two pieces of mace, six | cloves, two teaspoonsful each of all- | seed, | pour boiling hot over the cucumbers, { and when perfectly cold tie up. { Reep-Biep Pie.-Draw the birds and fill their interiors with forcemeat made j of chopped veal and ham, or oysters, | bread crumbs, butter, salt and pepper; | line a baking dish with puff pasts, Put | the birds into the dish in layers, dust | each layer with a little flour and lay in a few pats of butter, add a cupful of good broth or stock and a glass of white wine, Cover the birds with pastry, wetting the edges to make them ad- here, cut a whole in the centre of the cover to allow the escape of steam while the ple is baking. Wash it over the top with beaten egg, and bake it In a moderate oven until nicely browned. a—— si Ginger DRINK. — Ginger as a rule agrees well with most stomachs, espec- ially in warm weather. Dissolve two and three-quarter pounds of sugar in two gallens of soft water, then add the well beaten whites of three eggs and two ounces of ground Jamalca ginger, It is well to moisten the ginger before adding it to the whole amount of water. Bring slowly to a boil, skim and stand aside to cool. When cold add tne juice of one large lemon and a quar- ter of a yeast cake dissolved. Fill it into bottles, cork tightly and tie them down. Stand the bottles in a cool place for ten days and they are ready for use, To PRESERVE (GREEN GAGES — Choose large firm green gages cut them in halves, take out the kernels, allow equal weights of fruit and sugar, pound the sugar and sprinkle pars of It over the fruit, erack and blanch the kernels, Next day strain the sirup from the fruit, put it to the rest the sugas into & preserving pan, let it boil gently for twenty minutes, then add the fruit and kernels, simmer again twenty min. utes, taking off the scum as It rises, take the fruit out gently with a spoon, put into jars and pour sirup over, Browsed Hasuep POTATOES, Pare and chop the potatoes rather fine, put them In a baking dish, season with salt, pepper and a liberal amount of et psn Ba a moderately quick oven forty-five min. utes. bderve in the dish in which they are baked, CURRANTADE, «— Mash one box of rips red Suiatice with » suall bos of raspberries, pound or cup of , stir and add safficient et water to it palateable—about * A One Fact Is worth a column of rhetorie, sald an American statesman, Itis a fact, established by the testi. mony of thousands of people,that Hood's Barsapa- rilla does cure serofula, salt rheum, and other diseases or affections arising from impure state or low condition of the blood. 1i also overcomes that tired feeling, creates a good appetite, and gives strength to every part of the system.

Ducks and geese should never have access to a lawn. They pull the grass up by the roots. As they are voracious feeders, and not fastidious, they can be made to do good service, however, on fields that are covered with young weeds, ORNAMENTAL plants may be 80 ar- ranged as to spell words or represent forms, such as stars, crosses, hearts, ete., and the colors may be arranged to correspond.
