Just as the creat corn and pork producing lands hare been developed, has swine disease sprung up and inrrensod, because our swino aro given a monotonous diet of dry, oily food. Grass and clover are the foods of nature, and tho swine harvest them They require little preparation of tho pround for them, ana no cultivation When pastured they build up, rather tlinn exhaust, the land; and it can not be sucresxfully disputed that they are essential factors in the production or the cheapest pork. I,ct the piffs farrowed in tho spring bo put on prass and clover as soon as they are fit to be grazed, and kept J?n, them ns long as they arc palatable, "and the result will be a pig not fat, but in good condition and thrifty, that until fall has large, healthy bones and muscle and a vigorous appetite for cern. And then it may be fed corn largely, for this will put fat on the large framo the pasture has made, and the hog is vigorous enough to digest the corn well; and if tho hog is fatted rapidly and marketed as soon as fully fat, it is the cheapest pork that 4 an lie made the cheaest, not counting loss from discac. lint swine plague rarely invades the posture; its favorite place of appearance is in the mnll lot, paved with cobs and manure. The hog summered on crass and clover is o vigiir.uis that it r.irely sickens when being fattened on com largely, but alo other food, and in clean quarters with pure water. Amcritan Agricutturitt. Untlcr that Ilefiisea to Come. When a butter maker has but one cow, or only a few cows, the usual difficulty jhen butter won't come is that the cream is kept too long to get enough for a i burning, so that it gets too old and sour. This may he avoided by adding milk enough to mako the necessary bulk and churning oftencr. When it is desirable to keep cream, salting it heavily will help preserve it and make churning easier. When there is habitual troublo about churning, scaldin" the new milk by set ting it over a kettle of boiling water will help the cream to rise and make the churning easy. AVhen i he cream is in propercondition, churning is largely a question of temper ature. There is seldom a case in which butter will not come at some degree. Late in tho milking season when the churning gradually grows mnro difficult, a gradual rise of temperature in the cream when rhuming trcnerafly proves a remetlv. It is g'lmetimes found necessary to run up s high as seventy degrees. The butter TmrtalLcascs is poor, but poor butter is better than -uone. Occasionally cream will defy every clTort.cven when it seems to be of the proper agc and temperature. In such casci, it has recently lccn sug gested that the cream has an unusual chemical condition which suggests vine gar as a remedy; but I have not had an oppor'.unity to test the suggestion. If our corrcsKndcnt or any one else has a churning that proves too stubborn for every other means, let him thoroughly mix good cider vinegar at tho rate of a pint to four gallons of cream at sixty-two degrees, and after letting it stand half an hour, churn and report. l'rofcuor L. Ji. Arnold. Growing Melons for Profit. In growing melons for market there should be three points considered viz. : size., quality, and productiveness. The best melon is the one that has the largest share f these good qualities combined. A. melon may be of the largest size, but benr so few to the vine that they cannot bo grown to any profit. Again, the quality maybe so poor that they may be a drug in the market. Or a variety may be very productive and of fair quality, but so small that but few melons will be markc,!. . "J om seeilmen's catalogues tno viui gardener is ofien bewildered by glo.ving descriptions and beautiful Pictures of new and valuable varieties. 1 iiought seed of tho scaly bark water melon, as one of great worth, being quite hardy and strong, bearing up 1,200 pounds. Its shipping qualities were equaled by none, its keeping qualities . were such as to retain its freshness and go id flavor a great length of time; but when tested I found it to be a vigorous vine, the nul u of fair size, the skin the color of the acniped bark of a hickory ' wp'in.g.jJ.td rind ns rough, the' flesh crimson, hard, tough, and of the poorest quality. The iron clad was also planted from a colored description of its merits. I found it of large size but worthless as to quality. After several years' eiperimcnting with differentvarieties I find the following varieties combine tho most good quali ties, both for market and home use, in my section of the country. Tho icing rind watermelon is far ahead of any melon I have tested. It is of fair size, oval, very productive, and of tho most del cious flavor. I have found it by far the most profitable melon for the market as well as the best for home use. The I'xeelsior and the Cuban queen are very large melons, but not so productivo or so good flavored. They are very showy but not as profitable to raise. The musks are not a profitable for this market ns watermelons. For market value there is none equal to tho liay View. This fine melon occupies a .1 envi Me position in the list of luscious melons, by far tho finest flavored melon of izo I ever ate. Flesh deep.delicious ich and sweet, of a green color, very . idsomo and attractive in oppeaiance. Jut for size and thickness of flcth I have never seen anything of the melon tribe equal to the Montreal Nutmeg. This fruit is deeply and regularly ribbed, skin green and densely netted; flesh green, rich, and very delirious. These line melons arovcry productive. i um also Jesting some new varieties this season, both of water and muskmelons In all my experience in growing mel ons 1 find bone-dust the best fertilizer. One season I used four tablcspoonfuls of fertilizer in the hill, also in each hill we put two tablcspoonfuls of bone-dust (the bones were ground and mixed in, ashes), except one row running jn the middle; in this row no dust was used. When all the vines were four feet long, looking quite rank, this row was only two feet, looking well, but far 'behind the other vines. When the melons were ripe Jhis row was behind in size and quautity. I have tried bone-dust with other fertilizers since, with tho same result. From my experience with bone dust I would urge growers to use this cheap fertilizer for their melons and cu cumbers. 1'aim and Garden Notes. Oatmeal is ono of the best foods for chicks.

I Currents are reported as growing ia popular favor for jellies, jams and can ning. There is no hedge which has half the beauty of a wire fenca covered with honeysuckles. There is no prettier sight than a largo bed made up of tho different varieties of Japanese maples. Corn is a much more certain crop than wheat, ono year with another, over a large part of tho country. There is no profit in poor fnrming, and there is no good farming if you havo to rely upon poor help to do it, A California vineyardist claims that ho keeps his premises clear of rabbits and gophers wiih the assistance of cats. Plow milkers are a detriment. Tho best cow will soon deteriorate under the manipulation of a slow or lazy milker. Tho Amrriran AgrirulturiH believes that it does not pay to raise a "runt," bo it pig, lamb or calf. It advises to kill at once. Hejcrt a horse with a big, coarse head ; do not look a second time at a horse with either a long, slack back or with a hollow bock. It is not necessary to sift coal ashes. One way of using them is to scatter on the surface of all plants and not plough them under. Bone dust nnd wood nshes will supply all that may be lacking for strawberries in any soil, according to one agricultural authority. The advantage urged for summer pruning is that the wound heals rapidlv and is not followed by an excessive growth of water sprouts. Ono who is very successful at rose culture, when asked for her secret, re plied that it lay mainly in manure, prun ing knives, attention, nnd sunshine. Manure will not burn, or flrc-fontr. so readily in a flat pile as in a tall, pointed one. 1 he latter forms a sort of chimney nnd creates a draught, inducing too much heat. By stirring thd soil after every rain tho weeds will bo moro easily destroyed than at any other time. Never allow weeds to go to seed, especiallv in the garden. A good deal of time nnd labor is wasted by planting several varieties of the sumo fruit or vegetables, when, for !l practicable purposes, one or two would answer as well. Mulching is necessary, not only to hold moisture to the surfneo, but to retain moisture. In fact, plants and trees should be mulched with some coarse material, if watered through dry spells in tho sum mer. Take care not to ovework horses that arc shedding their coats, and feed them wen; aiso groom tue animals ttioroughlir Horses that have not been worked resfi. larly during tho winter require ajjtAdfare now. n0 Leg weakness in fovls is the result of rapid growth and istNf met: with ani mal food nnd tonicsX V little meat or worms should be nddcdVjho food every day and a little tincture or iron dropped in the drinking water.

Some, farmers object to rollins their land after it has been thoroughly harrowed nnd seeded, for fear it will pack tho soil too cioseiy lor the Pest growth and de velopment of the coming crop. If those who think that rolling'will in any way injure a crop will try tho experiment on a field of grain by rolling part of it and leaving me rest as ugni as possible, we think that next year they will roll the entire field. From hay to grass is a critical timo with cattle, and esp"ciallyso with vouns stock. Turn out the cows and calves on grass or green rye for a short time only at first, gradually extending until full pasturage win Do quite safe. Cattle in poor condition will relish and be much benefited by a warm bran mash. Treat such cuttle to a free use of card and comb that loose hair may bo removed and the skin stimulated. The following preparation applied to tho surface will prevent any rusting- on plows or any other metal surfaces: Melt ono ounce of rosin in a gill of linseed oil, and when hot mix with two quarts of kerosene oil. This can be kept on hand and applied in a moment with a brush or rag to the metal surface of any tool that is not gojg to be used for a few days, presenting any rust and sav ing much vexation when the time comes to use it again. No potato is likely to be popular for m rket which has deep eyes. Whatever its excellence in other respects, this do feet makes it less salable. There is not only a great loss in preparing such pota toes for cooking, but it is of tho most valuable part of tho potato, which is near tho skin. A smooth, even skin, with eyes not deeply set, enables the house wifo to pire tho potatoes with little waste, and if combined with elongated sha-e, to bake them unpecled, which is pci haps the best way to cook this vege table. Much of the gilt-edged, high priced butter from leading creameries is colored in the churn. Various kinds of butter coloring are used. These are for the most part prepared from anrmtto, a vege table substance that is quite harmless, and, w hile imparting a golden hue to the butter, does not iu the least affect its flavor. There remains, of course, with many a preference for butter that owes its rich color to the food, partaken of by the cow. But cows refuse at some sea sons of the year, even with the most judicious addition of carrots, corn meal, etc., to their rations, to produce the uni formly high color demanded by the trade. A writer for an Ohio farming paper tells how to cure cows of the vicious habit of kicking. ""I have," he says, " never failed to cure a kicking cow" of this bad habit. I take a rope of the sizo of a clothes line, and tie a loop or put a ring in ono end. The rope must le long enough to reach around tho cow's body, with a couple of feet to spare. I put "it around her forward of the udder, but as near to it us possible; put theend through the loop and take a half-hitch, drawing it very tight nt first, if the cow is spe ciully ugly. Tha fastening must be so that it can bo instantly released if alio falls down, as she may do tho first time it is put on. Tho prosure of the rope so paralyzes her that the has litt'.e or no use of her hind legs. After using it once or twice she will not need it drawn so tight. A week's uso usually cures the worst kicker." Minuesota wants the two national con ventions next year. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. How to Taper Room. This is not a poetic subject, and ia a work that all avoid who csn, yet it hat to be done, and often the amount is so trifling tlmt many will do it themselves rather than bother with employing a pro fessional. For such aomo instruction may bo useful. Tho task is not as diffi cult as might be imngined. To clean the wall with a solution of white gluo makes a good beginning. In making tho paste, add an ounce of pulverized alum to every pound of sifted flour, mix smoothly with cold watej, and pour over it gently, but quickly, boiling water, stirring con stantly. When dono it should stand until perfectly cold. The wall should be smooth, and if dirty or greasy spots ap- fcar on it before papering, it should o washed with lyo. Tho edge of tho paper must bo neatly trimmed down to tho pattern. A long table or wide board should be provided upon which to lay the paper. Then all the full breadths required for tho room can be cut and should bo matched. Al ways begin at tho right hand side and work to the left, Lay tho breadths as cut, ono on another, and spread the top ono with paste. In putting on tho wall, carefully adjust the top to its place, gently pressing it with a large, soft cloth, first down tho middlo of the breadth nnd then to the edge. When the paper is all on, the border may be tacked on or pasted, as desired. In selecting wall paper, even of a cheap quality, much good tosto may 1)0 dis played. Striking contrasts should be avoided; choose neutral tints and colors that harmonize with tho general tone of tho surroundings. If tho ceilings are low, paper which runs perpendicularly will mako them appear higher. Wall paper is usually half a yard wide and contains ciglft yards to tho roll. After papering a room no fire should be made in it for several days or until en tirely dry. Recipes. Codfish Chowder. Slice somo pork into a deep stewpan, nnd cover with sliced onion and sweet herb; then cut a fresh cod into thin pieces, removing the bones, and add a Inyer of the same to the pork. Alternate with pork and cod until the not is almost full, putting biscuit also between tho layers. Over all pour a quart of water, and allow it to stew slowly for four hours. Season with pep per nnd salt. Ciieam SrisACir. Boil nnd chop the spinach in the usual way. Set it on the fire in the saucepan and stir until it is perfectly S-y, add two spoonsful of butter nnd'btir for five or six minutes. For 4icli two qunrts of spinach add two tablcspoonfuls of cream, and stir again for fivo minutes and then take it from the tire. Stir in a spoonful of butter and serve hot, garnished with hard-boiled eggs and croutons. The eggs should be cut in qqorters or even tmm' Jt pieces. Black Simce Cake. Tl yoke of four eggs; mix two and ono-hnif tcuspoonfuls of baking bowder Jn two andVonc-half cups of flour, oneSun of brown sugar, one-half cup of suiip one-half cnji of milk, one-half ennof butter; tho butter must bo melted aftchsfclfflg measured and stirred with the sugar; two and-one-half tcaspoonfuls of powdered cloves, one tcaspoonful of cinnamon, tho miic of allspice; the spice must bo put in the flour, the syrup added after tho sugar and butter are stirred together, then the eggs and milk; lastly the flour. Strawuehtit Shortcake. Two cups of flour, two tablcspoonfuls of butter, half a cup of milk, three tablcspoonful white sugar, ono saltspoonful of tca spoonful of cream of ty"yffaspoon ful of soda, .. VrawbcrnW, siigar, three eggs. Hub J Shortening intc the salted flour, cream rtar nnd soda, and wet lip with tho in.. which has been dis solved tho siiptrSpJloll out half nn inch thick nnd bake in two jelly-cake tins. The dough should bo soft and handled very little. Bake to a delicate brown and when cold lay between tho cakes an even row of large strawberries sprinkled w ith sugar. Beat an icing of the whites of cguis and sugar nnd spread thickly over tho top layer of berries. Eat with cream. Useful Hints. Whiting or ammonia in tho water is preferable to soap for cleaning windows or paint. Tho lustre of morocco may be restored by varnishing it with the white of an egg. Apply with a sponge. Washing tho hands twice a day with cornmcal, and rubbing on a little glycerine at night, will keep them soft and white. To remove grease from coat collars and the g'ossy look from tho elbows and earns, rub with a cloth dipped in ammonia. Tho most effectual remedy fcr slimy and greasy drain pipes is copperas dis solved and left to work gradually through the pipe. If the bedstead creaks at each move ment of tho sleeper, remove tho slats and wrap tho end of each in old newspapers. This will prove a complete silencer. If the wall ub ut tho stove has been smoked by tho stove, cover tho blnck patches with gum-shellac, and they will not strike through cither paint or kalso minc. Carpets should bo thoroughly beaten on tho wrong side first, and then ot the right side; after which spots may bu removed by the use of ox-gall or ammonia and wutcr. Furniture, needs cleaning as much as woodwork. It may be washed with warm soapsuds quickly, wiped dry, and then rubbed with on oily cloth. To polish it rub with rotten stone and sweet oil. Clean off the oil and polish with chamois kin. When hnrd-finished walls havo been kalsomincd, the soiled coats should be washed or scraped oil before a new one is put on. This is the most disagreeable part of the process. The furniture should be covered, as the lime makes spots that are removed with difficulty, especially upon black walnut. The Blind In China. Mr. W. II. Murray, says S-ienre, has been the means of introducing into China a system of writing the Chinese characters in raised print. When we consider the complexity and multitude (about 4,000) of Chinese characters, and remember that the smallest of China's eighteen provinces is equal in extent to England (and England has 40,000 blind), the vast ncss of this philanthropic work will be apparent. Mr. Murray noted tho actual sounds used in speaking Chinese, and succeeded in reducing these to 400, each being represented by a different arrange ment of dots, lie tried his first experi ment on a blind beggar taken from the streets, and in six weeks taught tho boy to read, and even to write a little. The fame of this experiment soon spread, and pupils crowded to be taught. The sys wus extended to include music, and to adopt itself to the various dialects uo mean task, since the Bible must b printed in eight different sets of charac ters to bo understood all thruh China, NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN.

Moire of every description is now in great demand for trimming summer dresses. Tutty-colored cloth has not a pretty name, but it is the height of fashion all the same. Somo c.f the feminine lints this spring look like straw parasols with thestkk eliminated. I" m The various tones rim linn)i .friii'i t into Yed are favored for bows and hot trimmings. Tole pink silk stockings and Swedish gloves of tho same tint are worn with dainty wedding dresses. There are fifty female school supervis ors in Maine, nnd they all perform th duties of their office in an efficient man ner. Waistcoats and plastrons of brilliant colors are much used as trimming upon tight tilting spring paletots for young ladies. It is said that there are now 2,400 un married women in the various foreign mission fields, engaged in prosecuting mission work. Black lace hats are always most becom ing nnd jaunty, and are moro than usual ly stylish this season. A flaring brim is most becoming. Bodices fastening diagonally are iu high favor, Some also have ono rovers at tho top, another below, or both on the right or left sale. Special looms have been set up in Switzerland for tho manufacture of em broidered cashmere and pongee, and somo exquisite effects are produced. Black, white and olive green is one of the most stylish of plaid combinations in light woolen seen this season. An olive jacket or vest should bo worn with this plaid. Crocheted hats of openwork rush straw are a novelty in summer millinery. They are very light, and being mode iu every color they can be scloctcd for wear with any toilet. Some stylish grenadine costumes arc unade oyer bright satin or silk under skirts, ana in tnis case tne trimming is ot velvet to match the bright color in the undcrdrcss. Scotch tartan plaids appear among the new materials of tho season, both in stuffs and in ribbons, tho pattern varying from largo clan tartans to small pretty checks.

Shoulder capes for completing black toilets arc made of wide black lace in ac cordeon plaits, with V-shaped jet pieces laid on bock and front, ana with a high collar covered with jet. Recent excavations nt Dymenion, in Greece, show what were the fashions in women's jewelry at the time of tho Tro jan war. Numerous specimens in gold and amber have been found. The bigger the parasol tho more styl ish its bearer. The parasol of to-day needs an athlete to carry it. They should match the toilet, even if to do so they must bo made of Scotch Tweed. Children's hats have very wide brims, made wider in front and at the sides than behind. Tho trimmings are massed at the top of tho crown, which gives them a somewhat heavy appearance. English tailor-made dresses in cheeks and stripes are made with very long, full draperies, tho appearance of an under skirt being produced by a kilting or frill placed upon the foundation skirt. Sailor suits of blue serge are ornament ed with an embroidered anchor on ono side and in the corners of the collar, which is of the blue serge, the blouse and draperies being of plaid or striped blue and white, with a soft sash ana sailors' throat-tic of red or blue surah.
