exrEimrnvrs in mwi fattkntni.
A s-ries of experiments Lbs been
tried in IVnnmrk under the auspices
of tho Oovernnient with the result
thnt it has bei'ii determined that four
pounds uf boiled potatoes (ire equnl to
oiVC pound of grain for fattening hogs
for bacon. It was also decided that
six pounds of skim milk, eight pounds
of boiled turnips and twelve pounds of
whey are each equal to one pound of
grain for fattening purposes. In 1S81
tho Danish farmers exported to Eng
land 4,000,000 pounds of bacon, in
1802 they exported 200,000,000
pounds. Apparently the Panes know
how to euro bucon, says tho California
Fruit Grower.
FERTILIZERS FOR ROOT CROPa
All kinds of roots nro benefited by
n liberal dressing of salt ; mangels,
especially, are increased in product by
it. Tho quautity usually npplied is
COO pounds per acre, sown broadcast
ns soon as tho yonug plant appenr.
Superphosphate of limo or finely
ground bones is also an excellent ap
plication, and is usually scattered on
the harrowed grouuil before tho seeds
are sown ; the sowing by the drill then
mixes the fertilizer with the soil, and
by tho time the plants have made a
start it has been dissolved nnd well dis
tributed. For turnips a liberal quan
tity of plaster (gypsum) will bo found
useful. Turnips and cabbage are im
proved in growth considerably by this
fertilizer, doubtless because it furn
ishes the sulphuric acid which these
plants contain. Plaster is sulphate of
lime, nnd contains 45 per cent, of
sulphuric acid and !?2J of lime; the
rett is water, and hence it is found
useful for all crops thnt contain sulphur
to nn important extent. New York
Times.
COST Or FERTILIZERS.
Estimating the value of whole bones
nt $10 per ton and the cost of grinding
tho same at 10, will make tho cost of
one ton of ground bones $20. Suppose
nn average ton of bones to contain
sixty pounds of organio nitrogen and
400 pounds of -phosphoric acid.- Now,
373 pounds of nitrate of soda will
furnish sixty pounds of nitrogen and
131 pounds of soda; 1350 pounds of
powdered phosphate cf lime will furn
ish 40.) pounds of phosphoric acid and
will cost, with nitrate of soda at 2 J
cents a pound and powdered phosphate
of lime nt three-fourths of a cent a
pound, $19.49. The nitrogen in ni
trate of soda is in its most valuable
form, and there are also 131 pounds of
sodn, which is not to be had in bones
alone. The phosphoric acid in tho
powdered phosphate of lime is more
available than the phosphoric acid in
ground bones because the powdered
phosphate of lime is in a much finer
state of division than ground bout's.

THE CROW ACCOfNT.
N;w a kindly word for the crow, a
bird which I consider the farmer's
friend ; for exceptingthe short season
in early spring when he may occasion
ally rob the mother hen of one of her
darling chicks, or, possibly, her nest
of an egg the greater part of the year
hisfnod consists largely of the farmer's
enemy the grasshopper, the cricket
and the worm. 1 have seen in the early
autumn a (lock of crows iu a meadow
spread out in line, marching along and
devo'iriiig gruoshoppera as would a
flock of young turkeys, and could the
farmer keep a correct account with :'.io
crow think he would be surprised at
the end of the year to see how much he
would have placed on the credit sido of
tho bird's account and how little to tho
debt side. Try the coaltar on yjur
seedcoru, and let the crow live nnd
com inue his good work.
After the seedcorn is shelled, tuke
say a peck at a time nnd place it iu n
pail, .r, be'.'.er still, an old-fashioned
till dishpan, ir.to wlii'di drop a small
quantity of coe'.ter, say a tnblespoou
ful at a time, and with a stick ftir tho
corn until each kernel is completely
coated, adding enough of the tar from
time to time till this is accomplished,
but usii! no more than is uecesei'ry to
do tliis. Then sprinkle common plat ter

In tho morning I fcd half a gallon
of soft feed, consisting of table scraps,
meat and potatoes mixed with wheat
ground coarse ; feed to them warm.
For n change I scald bran, mix corn
meal with it.
Have straw or leaves on tho floor ;
at noon scatter wheat, rice and pop
corn broken in pieces over tho straw
to give them exercise; give them full
feed of corn at night, (livo them burnt

Tho Brown Leghorns are very good

eggs each in a year.
Wet one or two hens the last of Feb
ruary for early use, not putting many
egge under them. Have most of the
chicks to come out in April ; they grow
faster and give los6 trouble. If hatched
in April they will begin to lay in Octo
ber. If they ro well fed and attended
to they will do to fry in six to eight
weeks. Bake corn bread for them ;
feed four times ft day; when larger,
give common! dough (not too wet,)
wheat and vegetables. Milk is very
good ; if too sour, scald it. Very salty
food will kill them ; a little is bene
ficial. Have plenty of fruit, summer and
fall. After the garden vegetables como
in, give them lettuce, mustard, cab
bage ; chop onion tops nd mix with
their feed. Do not use much stimu

If they nre thus fed and attended to,
they will not have lice ; cholera, gapes,

will be largo enough for thirty hens ;
made so as to have it tight in winter
and plenty of air in summer. If the

The Orange Globe is a good variety
of mangel wurtzel.
Lack of green gross will make the
yolk of the egg light-colored.
Good layers should not be allowed
to get very hungry or very fat.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
will destroy tho tent caterpillar.
The Parker Earle is a good variety
of strawberry for general culture.
For hatching purposes eggs from old
hens are better than those from pul
lets. The milking should be done as rap
idly as possible without hurting the
cow.
For fattening sheep, alfalfa is one of
the best and most economical kinds of
feed.
Much attention is now being paid
to improvement in the breeding of
sheep.
Spraying with fungicides and in
secticides has become a matter of ne
cessity. Tho Polaris is a good all-round po

turplus food consumed.
Tho better education a man has, the
better he is fitted for his business,

The clot of blood often found in eggs
is caused by the rupture of a blood

raorr.n wat to coo it Potatoes,
The Irish have a very particular way
of cooking potatoes. They never boil
them. A large pot is always on the
lire, a steady, slow fire, and on every
occasion when the ponteuts come to tho
very verge of boiling, cold water is
dashed in nnd tho operation is, in Irish
phraseology, "backed." Tho process
is continually repeated till thepotatoes
are cooked. Ton get by this means an

Tl BANISH MUST.
At least every fortnight walls niul
cornices, tho tops of windows and doors
should have their entire surfaces gone
over with ft clean broom encased in a
bag of cotton flannel. Pinning a cloth
about the broom is nn unsatisfactory
makeshift, besides w hich the fuzzy nnp
of the cloth catches and retains the
dust better than old muslin, and does
not force it to fly about the room only
to settle somewhere else, as is'tho case
when tho work is done with a feather
duster.
Don't let your love of the beautiful
tempt you to the use of colored flannel,
because- you w ant to see when it is dirty
in order to send it to tho wash. Three
of these bags will not bo too niauy, ns
n broom covered with ono is tho best
means for removing the dust each

RF.MFMnF.R TO MAKE OOOO COFFEE!
That the snnio flavor will not suit

That equal parts of Mochn, Java

many people.
That every one can be suited to a
nicety by properly blending two or
more kinds.
That the enjoyment of n beverage
and slavish devotion thereto are quite
different things.
Thnt a mild coffee enn be made
dangerously strong and still retain the
mildness of flavor.
That the flavor is improved if tho
liquid is turned from t'10 dregs as
soon bs tho proper strength has been
obtained.
Thnt a good coffee will always com
mand n fair price, but that all high
priced coffees are not necessarily of
high quality.
That where tho percolation method
is used tho coffee should bo ground
very fine or tho strength will not be
extracted.
That if the ground coffee is put into
tho wnter and boiled it should be rather
coarse, otherwise it will iuvarinbly be
muddy.
That in serving the cups and crenm
should bo warm : the cream should be
put in the cup before the coffee is
poured in, but it is immaterial when

HOW TO IRON DRESS SKIRTS.
To iron a skirt properly is in the na
ture of high art nil the more if it has
tucks or nifties. Whatever the trim
ming attend to it first, unless it is ruf
fles that are to go through the tinting
machine.
For a ruffle spread aa much of it
singly on your table as its depth allows
and press very smooth with an iron
just below scorching . heat. Go ovei
the whole length of it, then fling it
br.ck and iron iu the same piecemeal
fashion the strip of skirt it covers.
Now slip the skirt over your ironing
board, sprend it smooth, take an iron
of the same heat, and go over and ovei
it nntil it is dry.
When you come to the gathers hold
the belt from yon with tho left baud,
whilo the right guides the iron straight
up among them. Slip a fresh space on
top the board, iron it and keep on un
til all is smooth.
Where a skirt is nntrimmed iron it
on the wrong side.
Never iron anything of shape, that in
with the threads pulled out of tlieii
proper angle. In the ironing of waist,
collars and so on this is an especially
golden rule, always hold tho war
threads straight with your free hand
whilo the iron passes over them.
In ironing tucks let the iron couit
always first upon the line of sewing, al
it is the tendency of stitches to draw.
Press firmly downward to tho free edge,
holding the stuff taut before the iron.
Perfection in this branch comes only
of knack and practice, and is among
the very few things that are easier done
than said. Atlanta Constitution.

Alcohol Is nn artificial product obtained by
fermentation, and is never found Iu a simple
state. It is n poison in both Its nature and
its effects j it is pronounced such by thn
highest authorities, and proved Uj bn'suek
by the test of chemistry ns well ns physiol
ogy. Alcohol unadulterated is a pure poison,
and though taken Into the svtern in a diluted
state, without at tlrst spparentlv anv injuri
ous erects, it is still a poison, and does the
work of a poisonous agent.
Th tlrst narcotic j-ymptom produced on
the system by alcohol is that of Incipient
paralysis. The flush which may lie observiii
on the face is caused by tho parnlvsis of tho
delicately constructed sympathetic nerves.
In eourss of time they become thoroughly
and completely paralysed, and then the bloom,
ou the check develops itit tho inevitable
blotch on the nose.
When alcohol Is taken Into tbo system, the
pulse throlis quicker for a time, tho v i
sparkles with flame, and for a short time,
more than usual activity is manifest, after
which succeed collapse ami prostration. It
is thus that all poisons act; and the very
symptoms that men consider a test of the
good they derive from alcohol are in reality
the undoubted harbiuifers of grave nud im
minent danger.
lint of all tlio evil efTe.-ts of this deadly
poison, there is one far more remarkable an t
deplorablo thuu all the rust, nud tht is tun
direct assault alcohol makes on tho brain
aud mental faculties. Tho moment it is
taken into the system, it makes immediately
for tho blood, and hurries off at once to tha
brain. Here it attacks, lirst of all, the high
est functions, for the higher thu function thn
moro delicato and susceptible is tlio bruin
matter Involved, and the more sensitive to
injury. Hnce, the moral and spiritual
bin -tioiis. such us reverence ford. id, aspira
tion, self-dcuiul, purity ami patience, becomit
the llrst victims of this insidious Ioh. whilo
the coarser and more animal functions, hav
ing thus for u time guin-d control of thn
victim, leave him, us he but too often proves
himself to be. a bruto and no man. It is no
wonder, therefore, that we hnve exhibited to
us, from time t-. time, sie-h convincing ex
amples of this truth, nud that we see men,
who, in sobriety, are kind and affectionate,
guilty, under tlio influenco of ilrink, of
crimes the most brutal, appalling aud cold
blooded, which It Is within tho ingenuity of
man to dovise.--l)r. E. N. Allen,
