WR TARY Lt sve FARM NOTES. PACKING BUTTER —It detracts greatly from the marketvalue of butter to mix different makes, which generally means different colors, together mm a solid pack. Buyers of country made butter in large quantities usually work it over again and color1it uniformly be- fore packing it down in a solid mass, This, however, injures the grain, and the result is to average the quality of the good and poor that are packed together. When practicable, it is best to keep each make by itself and ship it to market in rolls, wrapped in bleached muslin, wet enough to keep from sticking to the roll. As a general rule, a country storekeeper will realize the most from his butter trade who sells it as soon as he can, and before it has lost the delicate flavor and aroma of fresh butter by long keeping. In packing solidly in tubs or firkins from fifty to 100 pounds are used, The packages should always be made of hard weod. When It is desired to keep early made butter through the summer to a season of searcity and better prices, the following plan has proved cope of the best: Pack only sweet and fresh rolls where the buttermilk bas been got out and thegraln of the butter is good. Wrap each roll ie a thin muslin cloth wet In strong brine and back the rolls closely in the package without jamming or disfiguring them. Then immediately cover the butter entirely with clear, strong brine and set it away in a cool place. The first may be weighed down and more put in afterward, but none should be left foating partly out of the brine. In this way each roll is entire- ly submerged snd does not jcome in contact with the air, Foop ror APPLE TREES.—Apple trees are constantly taking up potash from the soil and storing a larger por- tion of it in the wood, says the German. town Telegraph, and it is for that reason that in old orchards there is sowetimes a dearth in fruitage, because of a scanty supply of this essential fer- tilizer available for use. When trees have been standing for years drawing from the natural supply, if there is no application, 1t is not at all ‘surprising that there should come a time when the available supply is exhausted; not only the potash, but all other mineral plant foud. This 1s undoubtedly one prolific cause of failure and the decay of trees in dld orchards, As a rule, farmers are adverse to cultivating orchards, and at the same time seem to fail in realization of the fact that during all the years that pass exhaustion is con- stantly going on. For the supply of necessary food to trees there 1s nothing better nor more natural than ashes, and, unless supplied, a cause of failure ioay reasonably be anticipated, Spread. will be carried to the roots of the trees and become at once available, A dress. lug in summer while fruit is forming will greatly ald its development, as it seems to have a specific eflect in the refreshing process, SHEEP NOTE. —Stephen Powers gives the following for catarth: The sheep shiould receive some warm, muecilagin. ous drink, as shippery elm or linseed tea, or a warm bran mash, with a little stimulant added, say a ball teaspoonful of ginger or gentian, A lump of pine tar as large as a bazalnut, smeared on the root of the tongue, is beneficial, Keep the nose clean by washing with warm water in which there are a few drops of aqua ammonia, If there is fever and the disease is likely to assume & more violent form, the following may be given: Epsom or glauber salts, balf an ounce; saltpetre, one drachm; ground ginger, one drachm; mix with molasses and place on the root of the tongue with a paddle. Hold the sheep’s Lead up and jaws closed until the dose is swallowed, If there Is a cough the following is recommended by the same author: Linseed oil, one ounce; salt petre, one drachm; powdered gentian, one drachm. Give in the same dose as above, in the same way, gradually re- Suciag the amount of Salipetre one- f. THE farmer who in growing a supply of feed for Ins hogs includes a crop of pumpkins can secure a good feed at generally a less comparative cost. Too much feeding of sour swill in many cases will cause a derangement of the digestive organs and often cause diar- rhees, If a steady growth is secured during July and August with the grow- ing pigs it will only be done by giving them good attention. THE hoofs of stock do as much damage to grass as the grzing of it. No pasture should be given up entirely to stock. It isbriter to divide the pasture into sections, permitting the stock to have access to only one section at a time, in order to allow the «ther por- tions to recuperate and renew the crop. The shorter the grass is grazed the more injury will be done bY lhe hoofs, On wet land the injury tramping 18 greater, hence stock should be kept out of the pasture for a day or two after a rain.

SuMmER Disnes,—Sardines are not only delicious fishes for warm days, just as they are taken from their boxes, wilh no other sauce save the oil they are preserved in, but they are suscepti ble of a number of ways of dressing and serving, They may be “grilled” in the following manner: Open a box containing one dozen sardines, remove the skins and place the sardines into a small saucepan, set it on the fire and when it boils put In an even tablespoon of flour, stir well, then add gradually two gills of weak stock or water, Doll till it is as thick as rich cream, then add one tablespoonful of Worcester shire sauce with salt and plenty of cayenne pepper, beat together the yolk of one egg, one teaspoonful of French mustard and one tablespoounful of vin- egar, Pour the sauce boiling hot on the egg and other ingredients, stir a moment, then pour {t over the sardines, which have been previously placed upon slices of toast. Serve at once upon hot plates, Curried sardines are also very flue, They must be prepared as above and put on toast, but a different sauce 18 poured over them, Put the oil from the sardines in a small saucepan, add a very small onion or clove or garlic. When she ou bolls add one tablespvonful of flour and one tablespoonful of curry powder then add two gills of stock and boll until a good consistency 1s reached, then pour it upon the yolk of an egg beaten with a | half teaspoonful of lemon julce, add | cayeune pepper and salt, pour It over the sardines and serve hot. | Another method 18 to remove the skin and dress them cold, with salt and pepper, and serve them with let- | tuce or cold slaw and thin slices of | bread and butter before other dishes, | Parmesan omelet is an excellent | summer dish, easily prepared and most | tasty, Beat up three eggs, with pepper and salt to taste and a tablespoontul of | grated parmesan, or some rich cheese, | Pat a piece of butter the size of an egg | into an omelet pan; as soon as it is } melted pour in the eggs and, holding | the handle of the pan with one hand, | stir the omelet with the other by means | of a flat spoon. The moment the ome- let begins to set, cease stirring, but keep shaking the pan for a moment or 80, then with the spoon double up the omelet, keep on shaking the pan until the under side is of a good ¢olor. Turn n———— LEMON PUDDING, — Three cups of bread crumbs, one scant cupful of sugar, two liberal tablespoons of corn starch, one lemon, juice and rind, two cups of milk, one heaping teaspoon of butter; scald the milk and stir in the corn starch wet up in four teaspoons of | cold water. Cook, stirring all the | time, until It thickens well, add the | butter, and set aside until cold; beat | the eggs light, add the sugar, the lemon | juice and grated peel, and whipin, a large spoonful at a time, the stiffened corn starch milk, Bake in a buttered dish, PRESERVED VIOLETS. — Here 1s a recipe for making those dainty confec- tions, preserved violets. ¥ ick off the green stalks from some double violets, dip one pound of loaf sugar in as much water as it will absorb; botl 1t in a stew pan til by letting a drop or two fall into water it becomes hard, Pat in the violets and keep them in until the SUgAr again bolls, then rub the sugar against the sides of the pan until it is white; stir all together till the sugar leaves the violets, then drain them on a sieve or fine white cloth, Set the violets on the shallow end of the sieve In a lightly warm oven and turn them two or three times; watch carefully, as they must not become cold till dry.

The women intuitively know that the hens do not “eat thelr heads off every six months,” but properly kept pay better than any other farm animals. This is true.

Burgess, Nashaa, N. fl, re- ported to the Nashau Telegraph, that his wife made a clean net profit last year, of $3659 for egies alone, from only sixteen hens Me thinks her success was largely due, to using Sheridan's Condition Powder, a mach advertised preparation to make the hens lay.
