Ims corn, vipon whirh to make our pork.
Moro grass and clover means cheaper
growth and lens disease. 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

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.

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

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

crimson, hard, tough, and of the poorest
quality. The iron clad was also planted

I found it of large size but worthless as

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

Me position in the list of luscious melons,
by far tho finest flavored melon of
izo I ever ate. Flesh deep.delicious

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

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.

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."

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

printed in eight different sets of charac
ters to bo understood all thruh China,

a long tiufe.snd having been under treatment
for the same by two of Rochester's beat phy
W sieians without obtaining relief,! was advised
by a friend to try Dr. Pardee's remedy; as a
last resort I did to. Yet I had no faith in it;
but before I had used one bttle there was a
perceptible change. I continued using it and
in a few days I was ablf to attend to u.y reg

pain and feel better in every respoct than
hava for years. I consider your remedy in
valuable for this dlsoa.se alone, ad would not
