r?R GOOD JUDOMKNT. A winy or a drotithy spoil will alarm some men and drive awny their good judgment, and thoy will plant or tow or harvest before Hie proper time. Grain cut too early may mold. Hay wit too early is leas in quantity. Ground plowed too wet is cloddy, tbo animal weaned or bred t.io early is stunted. American Agriculturist, PEAFOWLS. Peafowl are not only ornamental, but excellent tnr tlie table. A writer in the Fancier's Monthly say? concerning them : They are slow in reaching maturity, and the ben teld 5m lays before she is two years old. The chicks, however, grow cry rapidly at 6rst, but as they begin to feather almost at the start of life they require frequent feeding or thoy will perish. Tliey toon begin to fly, and roost on the highest positions they con find. The hens lay from ten to twenty eggs, according to nge and treatment. The young chicks should be fed the same as young turkeys, but neat, finely chopped, should be given three times a week after the first week. The male is a quarrelsome bird in the batn yard, and often makes short work of young chicks. They are more ornamental than profit able, though the tail feathers may be pulled for sale as soon as tho moulting season bogies. rnEPAiii.NO land fou wtikat. After plowing thoroughly it is very important to have land intended to be sown to fall wheat that it be prepared in as good condition as possible. Tho soil to the depth of three or four inches should be in fine tilth as a seed bed for the wheat, and underneath this the bed should be reasonably solid. The kind of implement needed to properly fit the soil for the seed must be largely deter mined by the character of the soil and its conditions. When early, and it is in a proper state, a good smoothing har row is all that will be needed to properly fine it. Afterwards, however, before the plowing can be done the soil gets hard and may break up in hard lumps, and the drag may bo used to properly level and fine. Again, hard, beating rains after plowing will often run the soil to gether, and the hot sun will cause it to bake, and in this condition, in tho ma jority of cases, it be best to use the disc harrow. What will be best at one time or in one kind of soil will not be the most economical under other conditions aud, for this reason, the character of the sjil and the kind of work to be done must always be consideied. The one im portant item is to be sure of workiug enough, aid then to use the implement that will do the work most thoroughly and economically. With nearly all va ricties of seeds, the more thorough tho preparation of the soil, the better and thriftier the germination of the seed, and the better the start to grow of the plants. Prairie Farmer. r BAD FLAVORS IN BUTTER. If you want the cows to yield perfect flavored milk do not let them eat leeks, fungus growths, or auy noxious vegeta tions. This implies that you must have a clean pasture, which should be a part and parcel of every dairy farm. Borne cows develop a morbid appetite, generally those that are ill fed, and they will eat with avidity rcfuso and foul growths that have a most deleterious effect on the quality of the milk. We have known cows to give tainted milk day after day of so rank a character that aeration bad but little effect upon the odor, and the butter made therefrom was practically uneatable. Continued investigation for a long time failed to reveal the cause, until it was at last dis covered that some of the cows had been eating poisonous varieties of mush rooms, commonly known as "toad stools, " which grew abundantly about some old decayed stumps in the pasture. Ai soon as tho cause was removed the milk resumed its normal character. It amounts to one and the same thing to give unhealthy food to milch cows, or to place it in a modified form on your table for your family's use. Bid food given to a cow in milk will surely im press its bad character upon her lacteal secretion. Damaged food tuinci into beef may not bo so quickly aud thor oughly transmitted to the human stomach as in the case of milk, for the slower process of nutrition ia the animal tissues gives time for considerable of de leterious matter to be eliminated by the processes of nature before the meat bo comes human food. With milk the case is practically of the same character as tho feed. An after aeration of the fluid cannot expel dhease Germs and microbes absorbed Irom an unhealthy appetite. Prevention is tin only cure for bad flavor and worse re suits, in milk utlected in the way de scribed. American Dairyman. FlOHTtSQ NOXIOUS INSECTS. Time has come for an active discus sion of the nieaun for preventing the (rent increase in number and varieties ol pernicious insects. These have become au intolerable burden upon farmer, and the losse by them far surpass the total of those which have been suffered by animal ditea'-es. And yet there hus been for years a special department of the Agricultural lluicau for the suppression of diseases among animals. Laws have been enacted iu all the States for the protection of live stock from iliscibe spread by careless persons. Hut nothing has been done in regard to the spread of noxious insects tioni farm to lanu in the manner of a pesti lence, ami eucoumKcl by thoughtless ami careless neighbors, who luecl myriads of the pests iu their fields ir gardens, aud permit thoiu to scatter abroad without compuuetiou. The in jury done is enonuuus, uud unless some effective remedy is applied very soon the Imrdcu will become too Lcuvy to be borne. Just now the striped potato beetle may bo seen leaving the early potato fields where the crop has been gathere I aud awurming over the roads and feui es to the fields which have been neared already ot iepeate'l swarms ot trie pests at luic cij.euse. Aud uow thu Block is renewed by persons who have themselves takon but very inadequate pains to de stroy the insects on tho'j own fields and now are stocking fields of their neigh bors. This is a crime, and with other related offenses culls for e(Io:tive remedy by law. There is a certain romedy for those pests and a cheap one. This is spraying the plants and trees with well known preparations which kill the insects. It has been proved effective, and tho use of it should be enforced by law. A begin ning has been made in the State of New York, where penalties are provided for neglect to destroy the fungus which pro duces the black knot in cherry and plum trees, by no means nearly so costly a pest as many others that might be men tioned. What is most needod, however, is the public sentiment which would in duce all concerned to take the necessary measures to keep their own premises free from pests of all kinds, and when this is once aroused effectively there will bo an end of the trouble. New York Times. BAVrNO MANURE. Manure lies at the root of successf ul husbandry in all of the oiler States. The virgin prairie soils of the green West are fast becoming impoverished, under the influence of remorsoloss crop ping, unattended by any adequate return of fertility. Therefore it is merely a question of time when the Western farmer is destined to find himself in the same straits, regarding the use of man ure, as his Eastern contemporary. Large crops everywhere require liberal fertiliza tion. Every farmer must, to be suc cessful, make all the manure possible frcm his domestic animals, and preserve it in as perfect a condition as may be, until it can bo appliod to the grouud. Scattered here and there over the bill- sides, and among the valleys of New England, there still remain many of the oldtime cow barns, though the bands of their builders have long been dust. One can scarcely drive through the country in any direction without seeing one or more of these ancient structures, the chief inconvenience of which, from a modern point of view, consists in the absence of convenient pits in which manure may be stored. The dung, as fast as made, is thrown through windows or openings behind the cows, where it accumulates in heaps, against the build ings. Here it is exposed to the wasting effects of rain and sun, frost and heat. The sites of these barns being usually somewhat elevated, it is not unusual, after a shower, to see a stream of "dark fluid, charged with fertility, flowing into some brook or swamp, where it is for ever lost to the purpose of agrloulture. What makes it worse is that the urine and more soluable portions of the manurs (which, from the very reason of their solubility, are most valuable) are soonest wasted by leaching. Manure managed in the above manner loses at least one-half its value. Now, with very little labor and expense, all this waste may be avoided. First, remove the soil to the depth of two feet from the entire surface, which the bottom of the manure pile is to cover, replacing it with some good dry absorbent, which ill catch and hold all the liquids. Next construct a lean-to roof against the barn, sufficiently high and large enough to protect tho manure. Any rough or second-hand boards are good enough for the purpose. These may be covered with cheap shingles, tin or anything water proof. The thin sheet Iron, such as is used in making caustic soda casks, makes a tight and durable roof, and can usually be bought of soap manulacturers for a song. The manure, even when kept out of doors, may be kept practi cally without loss. Matters will bo greatly facilitated if cows are always furnished with bedding aumcient to ab sorb the valuable materials ia the urine. -'American Agriculturist. FARM AND OAaDEN NOTES. It is better to prune in the fall than ia the spring. Pears should never be allowed to be come eatable on the trees. There is no need of sending select fruit to market if it is not carefully packed. The fowls kept for breeding should be the best of the whole flock, carefully selected. It will never do any harm to cut off the dead wood or a crossing limb of a fruit tree. After pear tree9 have arrived at the bearing age, there should be but very little trimming done. Hay aud fruit cannot be very well grown on the same land, and especially is this true ia the case with apples. It is better to prevent the growth that you -do not want than it is to wait until the wood is made and then cut it off. Cochins, Brahmas, Wyandottes, Lag horns and Dominiques all have yellow legs, which is an advantage in a market fowl. Late hatched pullets should be imshed to maturity. Uu!es well ma tured before cold weather pullets not lay uutil spring. will Turkeys are in their glory now, and they secure plenty of insects while forag ing. The farmer cannot realize tun good they do iu this way. It very frequently happens that eggs are soiled when collected. Wash tbeta before marketing, and tho chauccs are that a better price will be obtained. Good butter will always bring a good pi ice. If farmers would ouly think of quality instead of quantity, they would be able to make more proiit from the cows. After the moulting season begins prices are generally low, for the reasou that the hens quit layiug and are sent to market on this account. Often by wait lug uutil the rush is over better prices may be realized. The cultivation of a crop of beets is not difficult after the plan: get a good start. The most critical period is when the seed is germiuating and the plants very biuall, as the weeds and grass may take possession, but with extra care and labor for a few weeks the (iiJlivulliei wiU I l 'ml few later ou.

New York World. DHIKSTIBILITT OF FI9TI. The red blooded fish, such, for in stance, as salmon, herring and mackerel, are highly nutritious but not tasilv digested, portly because of the amount of fat distributed through the flesh. White fish, such as cod, haddock, tur bot, halibut, and flounder, contain com paratively little Int, and that mostly in the liver. They are easy of digestion and possess a delicate flavor. When in season and just from their native element they are delicious and make excellent food for the sick on account of this cas of digestion. When Fish Are in Season Cod, all the year; haddock, all the year; cusk, win ter; halibut, all the year; flounders, all the year; salmon, May to September; shad, spring; bluefUh, June to October; whitefish, winter; swordfish, July to September; smelts, September to March; perch, spring and summer; mackerel, April to October; oysters, September to May ; clams, all the year. How to Broil Fish Small fiBh such as perch and scrod (young cod) are excel lent broiled. After the fish is cleaned, washed and wiped, split it lengthwise if it is thick, sprinkle on salt and pep per, squeeze over it some drops of lemon juice, dip it in melted butter and broil over clear coals, quickly at first and then very slowly, allowing ten minutes for each inch of thickness. Servo with but ter cream. To Make Butter Cream Cream some butter in a bowl, season it with salt, cayenne, lemon juice aud vinegar. A teasponful of butter is enough for an ordinary small fish such as a perch, and to season it a speck of cayenne, a speck of salt and half a tenspoonful each of vinegar and lemon juice will be good proportions. Spread it on the fish to melt and run over it or serve separately in a little ball on a glass butter plate. A nice addition to the butter is a little finely minced parsley or chopped pickles, such as cucumbers or olives, or the three mixed if they are at hand. Creamed Fish To make creamed fish, any white fish which flakes easily may be U9cd. Cusk, cod and haddock are especially recommended. Cook tho fish fifteen or twenty minutes by gentle boil ing, then remove the flesh carefully from the bones, letting it separate lightly into flakes; season with pepper and salt and a few drops of lemon juice. For every pint of prepared fish make a rich cream sauce with four tablespoons of butter, two of flour and a piut of rich milk in which a small slice of onion has been boiled. Pour it over the seasoned fish, rolling all togother gently, so that the flakes may not be broken. Arrange on a platter, sprinkle the top with buttered crumbs and bake in a hot oven twenty or thirty minutes. A speck of cayenne is a good addition to make to the sauce. This is a delicious and wholesome way of. cooking fish for tho sick. The butter is so thoroughly incorporated witn tne flour of the sauce that it becomes one of tho few very easily digested forms of cooked fat. Chicago News. HECIFE8.

The effects of licnse and prohibition are clear. v eon in two towns lying side by side in our Empire Stnte. Tho one is a city of ten thousand inhabitants with ninety-nine lic-rsed drinking place?. It goes without saying that poverty abounds and crime is rite. The many manufactories render it possible for each poor man to own his home. Instead, in most cases, his earnings go into the rumeell.-r's till, and the hearts of many good citizens who love purity and temper ance are filled with sorrow and discourage ment. The other, a "iPa.'e ot three thou sand five hundred inhabitant, has had no license for fourteen year.'. The law is en forced. It ha one of the finest Normal Bchools in the State.

The prize fight between Corbett and Sul livan was, as all prize fights are, a brutal affair; but if a valuable lesson can be ex tracted from it, it seems to us well worth while to extract it. Corbett, if not a total abstainer, is the next thin 7 to one. Sullivan will not, we hope, be dispossd to knock us out if we observe that he is not. Imme diately after the fight, when Corbett's friends drank enthusiastically to his health, be drank with them in a cup of milk. A friend who had not for two years drank liquor declared that for once he was go ng to break his pledge, but Corbett is said to have threatened never to speak to him again if he did . The first thing Sullivan did after he pulled himself together was to go on a continuous jng, lasting until ho was placed on the homeward-bound train and his trainer succeeded in seeing that the supply of liquor ran out. The speech -which his trainer made to him ou the train will not rank with one of Deniostbenes's orations, but it had pith and point to it nevertheless. He said: 'booze has broucht you dawn to the levsl of a fourth-rate tighter from the top of the ladder. Isn't that enough? You made a game right, and will have no troublo in getting along it you let the bottle alone. If you keep on. though, you'll be a common bum in six mouths." Among those w ho took care of Corbett during the tight was Mike Donovan, trainer of the New York Athletic Club. To a friend of ours several years ago, in explaining why he did not drini, Mike said: "Whisky takes the heart out ot a man." The strongest man of the century, perhaps, aud one of the most perfect specimens of physical manhood the world has ever seen, was whipped, (a one Kper observes, not so mucU by Jim Cor tt as by jim-jams; and he is not a sot, either nut yet. but no man yet tackled the demijohn and came olt first best.

Thus, even as Samson, the strong man of ohi, exracted sweet honey from ihe carcass of a dead lion, so from the beaten, bruised and besotted body of John L.

Plan Tnnen are All Nerves. The piano timer who is a man has not learned from books. He hss grown up with the piano as a boy In the fac tory and knows it at every stage. His ear is attuned to thorn fine differences that are essential to the best of sort of piano tunning, and his appreciation of them is almost like nn instinct. To catch these he is always on the alort. Every sound detracts him, a child's cry, a bird's chirp. The constant wear and tear engenders nervous irritability; he becomes a bundle of nerves, and the dis tance from thenco to crankiness is not far. It is this strain on the ncrvcs.rathcr than the muscular strength required, that makes piano tuning a discouraging occupation for women. The muscular strength required iu holding up tho strings is considerable, but women could stand it much better. Auothor obstacle to women's success as piano tuners is that they aro not mechanics. A man tuning a piano is expected to remedy the creakiug pedal and anything else amiss that can bo dono without sending it to tho shop. This his prev ious experience enables him to do. Al together it seems that women pinno tuners could hardly compete with men, but in remote places might find their crvices valuable. New York Sun. To Press Ferns.
