About tho time vegetables and fruit
for winter uso ro being stored in cel
lars, the prudent housewife- removes
milk, cresm, and butter upstairs. She
usually says it is because it is not now
so hot above ground as to do injury, and
they make bettor butter and butter that
will keep better than that from the cel

bles and fruit are put into cellars they
begin at once to give off odors that are
injurious to milk, cream and butter, in

The farmer who plants a few apple or
poar trees, or a ten or a dozen grape
Tines, will probably not have much fruit
to sell, but when they come into bear
ing he will have the best food for his
family fhat"the largest capitalist in the
world longs lor and cannot, surpass.
Ills pro lit may not come in the selling,
but it will surciy come in the added
pleasure to his family and their better
health. The more good fruit we have
the better our health, the higher our
enjoyment, tho better out tetrpers and
the less necessity is felt for the doctor
and bis medicine. Hy all moans have
an ample supply of fruit on the farm
and as well on your own table. Col

how to ortow BIO rOTATO CROPS.
. Some wonderful results with regard
to potato culture have been obtained
by a gentleman farmer in France. This
farmer, who is also a distinguished
chemist, has been, according to a recent
consular report from Nantes, for some
time past conducted experiments with
potatoes, with the remarkable result
that he has succeeded in securing the
enormous returns of forty-two tons per
acre. The plan he adopts is to care
fully select the seed and to use only the
best and soundest tubers. The ground
is dug or plowed to a great depth and
is well manured. Before planting the
seed potatoes they are soaked for about
twenty-four hours in a mixture composed
of faltpetre and sulphate of ammonia,
six pounds of each salt to twenty-five
gallons of water. After this soaking
the tubers are allowed to drain, and
they then stand for twenty.four hours
longer, in order that the germs may
have time to swell. Chambers's Jour
nal. COLOR OF JERSEY COWS.
Tho prevailing color of the Jersey
cattle is fawn and white, r solid fawn
with darker shadings. Some families o!
the best reputation are dark either what
is known as squirrel gray, with shading
to black, or nearly all black, with brown
shading. The nose is generally sur
rounded by a yellowish or orange-colored
ring, and thi muzzle is black, but
some have a light gray muzzle and a
fawn ring around it. A dark, reddish
fawn is not to be taken as a mark of im
purity, r or is a brownish black; but
these colors are not common or fashion
able. If a cow is pure Jersey it is most
probable that her pedigree is recorded.
If i( is not, good evidence would be re
quired to prove her pure blood, as a re
corded animal is worth so much more
than ODe rot recorded that it cannot be
supposed the breeder would neglect to
give his youcg animals a record. But
if the cow has the most valuable point
of these cows, which is rich milk and
high eclored butter, the pedigree is
only desirable to the breeder; the butter
maker may be satisfied if he gets the
product. New Ycrk Times.
FARM CONVENIENCES.
Much time is lost on many farms from
a failure to provide in the best manner
for the ready passage of teams and ani
mals fiom one part of the farm to an
other. Whether stock is allowed to run
at large on the public highways or not a
considerable amount ef fencing is re
quired on every farm in the proper divis
ion of fields for cultivation and pastur
age. Access to each field ought to be
made easy, and often there ihould be en
trances at more than one poiut. At such
points there should be gales that can be
quickly opened and closed, instead of
bars that must be removed ono at a time,
thus causing delay to bcth men and
teams. Then, again, for want of a gate
It is often necessary to make a gap in a
fence in order to get into a field at a cer
tain poiut, when another delay is caused,
and the fence itself is injured every time
it is taken down. It costs but little
more to make a rough gate ou a farm
than to make the same length of fence,
and the gato itself becomes a part of the
fence, which is a good reason for making
gates wherever they sro likely to be
wanted. Large losses in time ate in
man) instances also occasioned by the
want of proper facilities for readily wa
tering stock. Ia such cases it seems to
me it should occur to every farmer that
pretent expenditure sufficient to pro
Tide them would be a profitable outlay
in the cud. New York World.

Don't put a year old row bush or a
tiny geranium into a ten inch pot. A
six inch pot is big enough for the rose,
and a three or four inch pot is large

Don't talk about your "bad luck" if

PLASTINO AX ASPARAGUS BED.
The right time to plant an asparagus
bed is either in the fall or early spring,
so you can take your choice. We pre
fer the autumn if the roots can be as
readily obtained, because there is usually
more time to prepare the beds and for
planting than in spring, when all kind,
of gardening operations are pressing.
No special preparation of the soil is
necessary further than to plow it deeply,
and if it is not rich enough make it so
by liberal dressings of good stable ma
nure. If broken up eight to ten inches
deep it will answer very well for aspara
gus grown for home use, which is usu
ally cut at the surface of the ground,
and not several inches below it, as prac
tised by gardeners who raise this vege
table for market. One or two years old
plants are best for setting out, and these
should be placed in rows four or five
feet apart, and from three to four feot
in the row. By giving the plants plenty
of room the stalks will grow much
larger than when the plants arecrowded,
even if liberally top-dressed with manure
every season. Trenebes for the recep
tion of the roots may be opened with i
plow or shovel, and when set in the
bottom, and five or six inches below the
natural surface of the ground, the soil
may be thrown back over them and the
bed nude level again with rake or har
row. Only a moderate quantity of
manure need be mixed with the roots
are in place spread a liberal quantity
over tbe surface. No manure should be
buried under the plants, as often prac
tised, for tbe roots will not descend to
secure nutriment; hence, placing it in
such a position ia to waste it. All fer
tilizers should be applied to the surface
of tbe bed aud be l'jtt to be carried down
by rain, or merely woiked in with the
hoe and cultivator. A light soil is
preferable to a heavy one for aspatagus,
but it will grow almost anywhere except
in very wet land. New York Sun.
PARK AND GARDEN NOTES.
Watch out for sickness in tbe flock.
A sickly fowl gives no profit in the
poultry yard.
Do not give the morning mash to the
fowls in a sloppy condition.
It is not too early to start incubators
for tbe early spring broilers.
Dampness is the cause of many of the
diseases in tbe poultry yard.
If tbe hens are late in moulting give
them as free a range as possible.
Young fowl need bone meal to de
velop good blood, flesh and feathers.
When the hens are laying regularly
lime should be left before tboui all the
time.
Select your turkey hens for breeding
by their style, development and move
ment. Many orchard men note a great in
crease in the crop of apples when a hivf
of bees is kept in the orchard.
Rich food for milch cows makes a rich
manure heap, and that makes rich land,
which ought to make a rich farmer.
A scrub may yield a profit, but a pure
bred animal would have yielded a larger
profit, under the same circumstances.
Make wheat the principal food now
and corn a little later. Wheat is the
best grain for eggs, and com to main
tain animal heat.
Very often good butter is spoiled by
the quality of the salt which is worked
in it. It is bettor to pay a few cents more
for good salt and uso that.
There are a good many animals in the
dairy which are excellent milkers, but
they do not possess the power of trans
mitting this quality to their offsprings.
The thing for the dairyman to do is
to learn how to breed cows according to
the laws of the dairy, just as roadsters
are bred according to the laws of the
trotter.
Agriculture is beneath the dignity of
no mm. One of the best truck farmoai
we ever knew was a college professor,
who was equally at home and equally
cnpable in the classroom and in tbe gar
den. A large cow always consumes more
food than a small one, but does not al
ways produce more milk and butter.
Upon the whole, the chances are most
iu favor of the small cow paying best for
her board.
The farmer should always allow his
grain to get thoroughly dry before send
iug to marker, and he has no need to
hurry it now, us prices ars not likely to
he uiuch lower, aud they may be higher
! later in the season.
j By feeding rightly the dairyman may
j produce cows nvaliug the racehorse, but
, this method will not make milkers; nor
! will a horsemin make a roadster by feed
, iug preen f.wls and corn with linseed
i meal and clover hay.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
INTERIOR DECORATIONS.
There is a growing severity of simpli
city in interior decoration that is very
welcome, for until recontly most parlors
have looked like curiosity shops, and the
ornaments, if one may so misapply the
term, have been really fii for the rubbish
heap. It is a good idea for housekeepers
to dispense with -ill but most necessary
furnishings until thoy cau give beauty,
comfort and quality first consideration,
and this remark is equally true when it
is applied to articles intended solely for
decoration. Picture?; books and palms
ornament a house more than anything
else, but photographs ana family por
traits should be relegated to the living
rooms, for whatever may bo or might
have been the beauty of the minds and
characters ot our kinsfolk and fnendst
their physiognomies are frequently such
as to strike torror to tho heart of the
casual caller. Brooklyn Citizen.
HOW TO CLEAN BRASS.
Brass, to be kept in proper order,
,'iould bo cleaned at loast once a week,
while it is the custom iu households with
well-trained domestics to have brass
andirocs, fenders and other fire-place
furnituro given a light rubbing every
day. In cleaning brass it must first be
relieved of all canker an ! other spots to
which tho metal is subject, from contact
with acids, exposure to water or other
causes. An application of alcohol,
spirits of turpentine, benzine or koroscno
will gonerally remove all ordinary spots
on brass, unless very old spots, the
metal in some coses seeming so perfectly
to absotb foreign substances that the re
moving of them amounts almost to an
impossibility. Spots removed, there is
no more certain cleansing and polishing
application for brass than rotten stone
and oil. Rotten stone usually comes in
lumps. Before using for polishing brass
it must be reduced to powder, and in
this state it quickly dissolves to a
smooth consistency when mixed with
olive oil. A thin paste of the prepara
tion should be rubbed lightly on the
metal, and when perfectly dry it should
be rubbod off vigorously with a flannel
cloth, the finishing polish being given
with the powder, dry, and subsequent
rubbing with a clean flannel cloth or
chamois skin. New York World.
ONE WAY 0F PRESERVING CHI.NA.
In a certain primly kept house in an
old-fashioned country town It is a family
boost thot not one bit of china has been
broken, cracked or "nicked" in twenty-
seven years. The last time such a dis
aster occurred was when some soldiers
visited the place about the close of the
war. It is almost unnecessary to remark
that no male creature is a member of
this noteworthy household. Three
maidon ladies, who were young when
the china-breaking troops came, compose
the family, aud this is the way the rite
of dishwashing is conducted:
All the edibles are removed, and the
pretty, creamy china with its purple and
gilt band is carefully scraped with a
scrap of bread. To scrape with a knife
would be held a crime. Then it is piled
neatly on a low table about the size of a
sewing table. The cut glass and old
fashioned silver are also piled there.
Then one of the sisters takes her place
on a chair before it and another hers on
tho side. A big bowl of water just hot
enough for tbe hands to woik iu com
fortably and soft cloths are brought.
The articles are washed piece by piece,
by one sister, the silver and glass first,
then the china. Then the second sister
dries them on soft linen cloths, and
places them on the ether table. No
mops, no boiling water, no piling of
dishes and pouring of water over them
is ever allowed. And that is why the
dishes are not cracked or nicked, though
they are worn thin. Besides, the pro
cess invests dishwashing with a certain
sort of poetry. St. Louis Republic.

OEXKRAL HOWARD ON THL CAXTEC.
General Howard, ia hi- official report to
the Secretary ot War. gives the followiol
important testimony concerning the "post
exchange," or canteen:
"The post exchange presents the appear
ance of a small country store or refresh
ment room in all the premises except iu the
room where beer is served. The impression
is irreeistable that beer is easily and cbeaply
procured, so that it is constantly forced unou
the attention of the enlisted man. He is
alwayi tempted to indulge in its use. Com
manding officers have generally agreed with
me that it would be well to aboliah the !
of beer entirely and to substitute for it other
reverages. J here seems a lack of propriety
in tavuig a soldier in the uniform of tho
United states behind a counter dealing out
beer like a barkeeper in a common resort.
The commanding officers without exception
object to this. If there must be bar keepers
in the service they should be hired for the
purpose.
"Under the present tvstera soldiers appear
to be more generally fed to drink and to
offences that go with drinking than undei
the old sutler and post trade system. I am
strongly convinced by actual experiment
that while a few drunks are moderated in
tbeir application hy strong beer tbe remiiii
ing soldiers who fell under the temptatloo
are worse off and tbat military otlenoes an
rather increased In number."
In view of this significant testimony, from
the distinguished bend ot the United titatef
Army, tiiat beer selling is injurious to till
men under his command, it M to be hopec
that the requisite steps may be taken for ib
abolition at an early day. National Tern

DRINK AND PHINK 8K1.LKHH.
The War fry, organ of the Salvation
Army, prints tbe following:
1 have beard all the arguments which are
brought against respectable men for manu
facturing and selliug rum; I have heard
them violently denounced from the pulpit,
and warmly defended elsewhere; but a
scene to which I was once a witness decided
my opinion as to niy own duty on this point
and that U about as far, in a matter ot
opinion, as auy man can wisely press bis
arguments i. e., to bis own conscience.
llunng an occasional stroll iu an obscure
part ot the town, my attention was once at
tracted by the preparations for a funeral in
a small house by the roadside. What in
duced me to enter a house of mourning,
where I was alike unknowing and unkuowu,
is not at present material.
The room that I entered betrayed at a
rlance the abject poverty of its occupants.
There was neither carpet nor fire; tbe bed
was a heap of straw; four or five old broken
chairs constituted all the furniture, and the
windows were Huffed with rags.
A plain board cotfin which, from its size,
must be that of a child lay on two chairs
in tbe c;uter of the room; a woman, sobbing
alouJ, was benilug over it; tenor twelve
men stood around in blienue, and by a cor
ner of tbe fireplace, seated on the floor, was
a man in a beastly ttate of intoxication.
This man, as I afterward learned, was the
father of tbe child, whom, on the pre
ceding day, in another lit of drunk
enacts, he had accidentally pushed against
a tt-akettie over the tire, and the little eria
ture was so scalded by the water that it died
during the night.
After a few uunutW silence, broken only
by tbe sobs of the huart-brokeu mother, one
of the men, apparently with the intetiliou of
offering to tbe poor woman the consolation
of sympathy, approached and mid to her:
"Mrs. , this is a great affliction."
" 1 es ,' said the woman, raising her
streaming eyes from the corfln aud tiling
them on the speaker with all tbe sternness
shs could commaud at the moment, "it is a
great amicuon a oreaillul attliclion; but it
is not lor you, who give him (pointing to
her drunken husband) his daily liquor, and

cross between the silk hat and the

the discomforts of the silk hat without
having its dash or beauty, and it has not
been much dressier than a neat soft hat,
although it has always been more un

Taste and Snii-11.
Some curious observations by Profes

tion of food depends largely, if not
chit fly, upon tbe senso of smell instead
of that of tasto. The subject of the in
vestigation was a student twenty-one
years old, who inherited from his mother
the defect acquired by her in child
hoodof complete absence of the senso
of smell, taste ami other sensations being
unslTected. He was found to be unable
to detect any difference between tea,
coffee and water. In three trials out of
iivo lie confused bitter almond water
and water, but distinguished between
ether aud water and ether and ammonia.
Fruit syrups were simply sweet, no dif
ference between them being perceived.
Cloves and cinnnmon were recognized,
but mustard and pepper gave only a
sharp sensation on the tongue. Trenton

August
Flower"
" For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. lie finally, after trying
everytking, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. It seem
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me."
