This kills the small worms before they have done much mischief. It is much less trouble than picking off the worms, but this may be done when only a few plauts are grown in a small garden. The solution may bo sprayed on the plnnts by a suitable force pump. Such a machine ia made and sold by dealers in agricultural implements, to be strapped to a man's back and carry the supply in a small tank, the liquid now ing from it through a tine nozzle as the man walks along. Fora fewplants tne nana rubber sprayer or a large syringe may bo used. It is said that wheat bran sprinkled on tho plants will keep off the worms, but it ia not so effective as the sr.ltpetre solution. The parent of this worm is a white butterfly with small black spots oa the wings; if this is caught by a small hand net it will prevent the laying of hundreds of eggs, and as many worms that will have to be killed otherwise.

The foundations of profitable dairy ing consist of good cows that are liberally fed and milked with exact regularity, and an intelligent and. ob servant owner. With these essentials present the details of the business are soon acquired, and the degree of prosperity is measured by theattention given to the work and the ability manifested in He execution. Dairying is a calling that requires the eye of the owner to be watchful and his mind to be thoughtful. He must be quick to detect and prompt to investigate and correct every unusual occurence that militates against the amfort and well being of his herd. Such a man is always abreast of the knowledge of the times because he is a student, not only of his specialty, but of all the various things that interest mankind. It is only by utilizing all forms of knowledge that the development of specialties is possible, and the wider the degree of knowledge the specialist possesses tho greater his success. Dairying is a specialty and the wiser the dairyman is the better his dairy. All his kuowleilge crystallizes there to his personal advantage and the benefit of the consumers of his product. American Dairyman, ABOFT KILLING POtLTST.' Views as to the best mode of killing fowls differ, and the practice on general farms to chop off the head with a hatchet remains. On the broiler farms the French method of stubbing the bird iu the roof of the month aud plucking the feathers while the body is warm, is adopted as the quickest and best. When killing with tho hatchot, as is generally the case in private families, the best way is to ninko a loop of a piece of string, which place about the fowl's head. Let one person pull on this while the execu tioner holds the bird's feet and the tops of the wings in his left hand. Iu the right hand he holds tho hatchet. The person with the striug now pulls the head over a block, and with one blow the executioner performs his task. Tho bird is then held until life is extinct. This prevents thi bird from getting its feathers soiled. Some advise to perforate the neck and let the blood all rr.a out before dressing. Others think the process of depletion renders tho meat less savory than it would be if a portion of the circulation was retained in the body. The plan of breaking the necu was at one time generally practiced by dealers. It was claimed fur this method that it not only gave a .peedy death, but that the flavor of tho flesh was better than w hen all tho blood was drained out. The bird is tuken by the legs and wings in the left hand, while the head is taken iu tho right, the body aud neck being stretched to the ex treme length, the head is then bent backwards and pulled at the same time. Dislocation takes place, and tin body is held in tho same positiun two or three minutes for the blood to run into the neck. Then, and not before, thould plucking begin. Iowa Uumebtcad. PROPER CARE OF HARNESS. Home farmers pay little attention to tho proper care of their harness, de voting less nttention to it than livery men, cnb and hack drivers, who at tend to this matter because it pays them well to do to. It ia not a rro sight to see a farmer's heavy draught and single harness that have been used for several years without a drop of any lubricant touching them since they came from tho dealer s hands. All the leather portion is hard and brittle, and presents a dull appear1 ance. If used during a shower, tho parts that are rubbed look more like porous sole leather than an oak -tanned article. Such treatment shortens the life and usefulness of tho harness at least one half ; whereas, a few rents' worth of oil and two or three hours' time each j"ear would not only make the. harness far more presentable, but add to its usefulness, and what is of greater importance, to its safety. Do not hang the harness in a horse stable. The ammonia arising from tho floor is very destructive to leather of any kind. Before oiling the harness, re move all dirt and dnndruff by thor oughly washing with strong castilo soap suds. The harness should be taken apart before commencing opera tions. Choose a warm day, if done out of doors, or work dcbt a stove if indoors. As soon as dry, any of the harness oils may be applied with a woolen cloth, or soft sponge, ut'ing care to saturate every portion. After each strap has been oiled, bend it back and forth, thereby introducing the oil to th very center "of each strap. If not previously oiled for a long time, a second application should be given, and after a few hours go over with a dry cloth, removing all that has not been absorbed. In place of the usual ueat's-foot or petroleum harness oil, melted lard free from salt, or even nn salted butter, may be used. It is bet ter still to boil np the broken shin bones of a beef. The marrow, and what tallow there may be, will make a most valuable dressing of almost the consistency of oil, and may be bottled for future use. If a color be desired, add a little lampblack. This will prove equally efficacious as a dressing for boots and shoes. Fifty cents' worth of these shin bones, obtained of any butcher, will yield enough neat's-foot oil to last several years, American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. There is a key to every horse's tem per. Different horses require different treatment. Figs grow fat on skimmed milk and buttermilk. Habits are very quickly formed by young horses. Aluminum horseshoes are worth a thorough trial The horses enjoy a good breeze as well ai the driver. Big horses with style and quality are still commanding high prices. If animals get off feed for a few days, it takes quite a time before they recover. A horse with a sore month will pull harder on the bit than one with a sound mouth. Quality and soundness of limbs and fbet should be the first considerations in buying a horse. A horse fed on earl'- cut nd well cured hay will come out in good con dition next spring. The feeding value of wheat for hogs is estimated at about nine per cent. greater than corn. Give the hogs. as great a variety of food as possible until they are ready to go into their fattening pens. Every foal inherits equally from both parents. It is important to look to the mare as well as to the sire. Heavy draft and stylish coachers command a premium above produc tion, while the little horses do not pay to raise. The Government has received infor mation that the French Government w ill admit American forage into France free of duty. When beet pulp is fed alone, there is danger of ostermnlcia (softeniu? of the bones). Cows are peculiarly liable to the disease. Move the hogs frequently. A clean place is conducive to health and vigor. This can easily be done if the hogs are connned in a pasture, by hurdles. The French aud German coachers, tho Cleveland bays anil hackneys are fust improving tlia value aud size of our small native horses aud trotters. It is said to be the custom in some parts of the West to turn sheep into the corn fields to eat the weeds, and that no da-nage is dono to the corn, provided it is of good size and stands up well. When butter comes in granules like wheat grains cold water should be poured in to hardon it ; the buttermilk and water should then be drawn off, more cold water added and the churn rapidly turned in order to wash the butter and firm it.

' A very pretty luncheon table cannot well have cold meats upon it unless these are particularly well aranged. Haphazard slices will not do at all, nrr will even a liberal parsley garnish help matters greatly. The daintiest and the most picturesque way to serve cold meats is to slice them and then rearrango in bulk again. To do this nicely a large piece of meat say a fine roast of beef mnst be cooked and then allowed to get very cold. When quite cold the beef ia sliced all the way across in mammoth slices, one by one. When all the slicing is done the pieces are carefully put iu plaoe again just as they were when whole, aud the "roast" is apparently untouched. For greater convenience in tho serving the entire piece of meat is cut oncoajross so that the slices when taken off are half size instead of colossal in dimen sions. A piece de resistance like a full sized roast of beef in the centre of a luncheon table is a stately thin to gaze upon, and gives the guests the comfortable, assurance that' the sub stantial part of the feast is not to be sacrificed entirely to delicacies.

A crinkled rim of tin is laid over the edges of the pie-crust to keep them together and prevent the escape of the juices. Being left-handed, I took kindly, too, to a spider seen the other day which has a lip on both sides. Some other so-called improvement in household utensils have little to rec ommend them except that they are new. Among them are a flour sifter that may ho fastened against the wall and turned with a crank, a metal kneading board which fastens to the table so that it will not slip about, and a wooden roller covered with Turkish toweling for dusting hardwood floors or carpets. Tho latter is not half as good an arrangement for dusting as the English dark-blue flannel kept pur posely for hardwood floors, made iuto a bag and kept on a broom, as it can not be used in the corners of a room. Wh"u a damp cloth is to be used, it would not equal a clean flannel cloth in a self-wringing mop. Small meat choppers, fruit-presses and evaporators for drying fruit are really labor-saving contrivances. Too often complex pieces of help fulness are only au added care and an added expense. Before buying them as a pleasing novelty they should be carefully studied. All kitchen utensils should be as plain and simple aud as light weight as possible, for the sake of the person who lifts ami cleanses them each day. New York Post. BOILED BEEF RECIPES.

It is a common mistake of Ameri cans to think that the predicate "van" before a Dutch name signifies nobility. In the low countries that ia in the kingdoms of the Netherlands and of Hulgium "van" has no particular meaning. Names with "van" are to be read on shops, as well an on the doors of the most aristocratic man sions. The humblest persons have it, as well as tho most refined. On tho other hand, a great number of the very oldest families aro without it. In llerniany "von" means noble, and all persons belonging to the nobility have "von" before their family name, with out any exception. Persons who do not belong to the nobility cannot put "von" before their names, as they have no right to do so, and would be found out directly if they assumed it, and make themselves ridiculous. But in case of a man being knighted for some reason or other he has the right to put "von" before his family name.
