Twenty to fifty bushels to tho acre ia tho usual quantity. If forty bushels, which ia a good quan tity, is used, this will give ono bushel to each two Tods each way through the field, and is thus evenly spread. The heap of limo left at each two rods is left until it becomes a flno powder, which will happen in a few days. Then it is spread by n long-handled shovel ono rod each way from tho heap, so that each hen p moots. Then the land is just whitened all over. This ia done after the land is plowed, and ia fol lowed by the sowing of the seed, and both are harrowed in together. It is usual to apply limo when wheat is sown, anil is followed br crass and clover. Jt haa a most useful effect on the clover. New York Times. rncNrsn habut hhm-bs. It sceina hardly necessary to rencat what wo have so often stated about pruning shrubs with a view to the pro duction of flowers namely, that those which produce flowers ou tho wood tnado tho previous year, among which tlio honey-suckles, forsytUias, early spiraeas, lilacs, viburnums, dentziaa nud Fhihidelphtis aro prominent ex amples, should receive their acverest rutting soon after tho flowering season is over. This st imulates the growth of tho now wood, which will bear flower buds for the next spring. Of course, if these shrnbs are cut back in tho autumn or winter or in e.irly spring, before they bloom, tho flower buds are removed. On the other hand, late blooming shrubs, like the pnnicled hydrangea, hibicus ami lospotloza, should be out in hard in rnrly apring o that they may make a strong growth of wood and buds for llowern which open in late summer and early autumn. Garden nnd For est, WOOD ASHES. "Thai wood ashes are of much value lo tho grower of plants and trees has long been known and only that it has been dillieult to get large supplies at reasonable, rates it would have boon much moro used than it bus been," writes an experienced gardener. At the present time there is more call for it than usual, owing to its be ing used to a largo extent by florists. For fruit it is as good a thing as can bo applied. Ita application to the fruit trees tends to establish healthy foilage to ft remarkublo degree. Thero is not a rank growth result ing, such as barnyard manure creates, but a sturdy one, with plenty of healthy foliage. In greenhouse, the same ell'eets are observed. The plnnts treated do not run to wood to tho dis advantage of flowers, but make a growth whoso appearance of leaf and stem indicate to bo tho highest type of healthy Tigor. Tho youngest boy on a farm knows that the biggest of tho big plants is sure to grow whero last year's bonfire was made. Tho application of good ftHhes to grass ou lawns is shown to have done good. Tho vivid green of the herbage and strong growth tell tlio story of its value. --Southern Agri culturist, rnOFITS IN XI INTER PA1RYINO. Money can be made in winter dairy ing if tho calves are dropped bv De cember 1. Calvea dropped at that time will require a warm stable, light, el mn and well ventilated. Uutter at tbis season usually brings ten cents per pound more than during the Hum mer. Farmers liavo more time to do vo,o to their work than during the busy stiuinier seasou. A small ice bill with much less labor will also result. Calves dropped iu the fall will thrive nil winter iu a warm stable, and tho skim milk, with a little wheat bran and linseed meal, wiil make a good r,ft ion until February. If kept grow ing nicely they will be iu lino condi tion for pasture, atid little, fear may be entertained of scours. Heifers raised in this way will drop their calves w hen from ' sixteen to eighteen months old. Manure from winter dairy cattle is worth more than that from dry cows. Tho grain feed dur;i.g winler will be more thau paid for by tho increased price of tho but ters, so the calvea will be clear gain. Aa for resting,! waut my cows to have their rest iu wnrin weather or iu early fall, then let them hsvo fresh fall feed, nud you will see that they can fight flies and grow better, and be iu far better condition for business than if they had rested all winter and fed on corn fodder and no graiu.

Ono of tho most essential things in bntter-making is temjierature of the milk, cream and butter in the differ ent stages from tho cow to the butter tub, and in the process of churning probably more depends upon the tem perature at which the cream i.i when the churn is started than at any other time. The flavor, graiu and color, three of tho principal constituents of good butter, are all developed by the proper temperature of chnrning. Ihitter ch timed at too high a tempera ture will be found to contain more casein and water than that churned at a lower one, thereby injuring the keeping qualities. The color will be pale and lacking thnt golden hno so much prized by all good butter makers and judges of fino butter. The grain will bo injured and the butter lack body and firmness, and will bo liable to mottles nnd streaks. It will take more working and there will be greater shrinkage while on tho way to market. The temperature that cream should bo churned at depends to a greater ex tent upon the condition of the cream aud the temperature of churn room. In winter it is not necessary to churn at as low a, temperature as in summer. In the days before the Babcock test we did not give much thought to tho loss of butter fat in the buttermilk. If wo churned at tho right temperaturo to produce the best quality of butter that was all that was uoeessary. Hut since that time there has been considerable change. We still churn to produce the best quality, but wo have combined this with the temperature to churn at to save all the fat from tho buttermilk, and wo have found that the two will work together with the best of results. In my experience I have found that acid cream should bo churned at a temperaturo that tho buttermilk will come from tho churn bolow sixty de grees in tho winter mouths. In my experience with cream I have churned at a temperature of fifty degrees, and produced good results both in keeping qualities and in the saving of fat from tho buttermilk. New England Home stead. FARM AND OAHDES NOTES. Clean stables make clean cows aud pure milk. flood barns are essential to success ful dairying. Tho highest-priced oats are not al ways the best feed. Don't expose the colts unnecessarily iu a cold rain storm. If propor shelter ia provided the stock will roquire loss feed. Give the land thorough tillage be fore npplying the fertilizer. It is said thnt ground bones are ono of the best gTapo fertilizers. Don't spoil a colt by keeping him tied up without regular exercise. Five hundred and twelve cubic foot of hay iu tho mow will make a ton. This is tho time to complete your work of putting the fences iu order. A horse will not get so cold if he is hitu'ied with his head from the wind. Figs are said to'come on faster with wheat meal than with any other food. Intensive cultivation and farming to make money amount to the same thing. If all oats could be run through the mill they would inako better feed for horses. It is now positively stated that hill culture of strawberries insures tho best results. Tho valtio of a horso depends upon tho aggregato of all his qualities at maturity. A big horso show is to be one of the features of tho mid-wiuter fair in San Fraucisco. Two cubic feet of good, sound, dry corn in tho ear w ill make a bushel when sheUed. Get rid of a jumper at once, before the other horses on tho farm acquire the bad habit. Wheat gives much higher returns in fnt aud Mesh forming qualities thau any other meal. Tho fall of tho year is the time to prepare for spring mud und slush by ditching the barn lot. Use close-fitting collars aud harness aud never allow a horse to become sore from any purt of tho harness. Caked udders in the early stage can be relieved by plentiful aud frequent applications of very hut water. If young trees are staked they will not grow up crooked and tho roots w ill be better able to Btand tho wind. Ono of the biggest economies a fanner can practice is putting his farm implements and machinery under shelter. French breeders were much im pressed at the l'eroheron show with tho progress made in breeding in America. If you expect your cows to give plenty of rich milk you must givo them comfortable quarters and plenty of good food. lietter cultivation, more thrift and better enre of stock and farm imple ments are the things needed to make our fanners more prosperous.

After my meal is pro pared I gather up everything tliBt is useless and put it on to tho coals in tho range, then turn on tho drafts full.

Dust sweepings, leaves, dried-up flowers, everything goes into a receptacle, and in due course of time finds its way into the capacious throat of tho kitchen range.

Nothing is more essential in good kitchen work than good cutlery. The cook must Vio provided with a good breadknife, with ft thin, broad blade and keen edge, if ahc would cut her bread as it should be cut into thin, dainty slices. There must also be good, sharp meat-knife. It is not pos sible to use the same kuife for both purposes und keep it long in good condition. In addition, thero must also be a little vegetable knife aud a little boning knife, with a thin, sharp pointed blade. These knives should bo kept bright and clean, and exclusively for their own respective purposes. They should not bo allowed near the fire, for heat ruins the temper of the steel, nnd when tho temper is once destroyed, it eaunot be restored. Thero should nl ways bo two or three common iron knives about tho kitchen for the pur pose of scraping pola and pans and for stirring anything cooking upon tho stove. One of tho best knives for Rcnqiers hns n short, strong blade, broad and sharp at tho lip liko n put tykuife. Knives that are in use in tho kitchen should be eybtcmutically sharpened. In the city, where a kuife grinder is always convenient, it pays to send the knives to him about once in three months, as it costs but little to have them thus properly ground. in th-n country, where n knife grinder is not always accessible, a cook should learn the use of the whetstone, as a carpen ter or other mechanic does, and keop her knives in order herself. Knives which aro not In use should bo rubbed in a little sweet oil, wrapped in chamois akin and laid away. Knives iu daily use should bo washed and dried thor oughly. On no account should the bandies bo allowed to soak iu water, nor should tho knives bo allowed to dry in the oven, nor in any place around tho range, for by such treat ment thoir temper will bo destroyed aud their handles loosened. The best place to keep kuivea which are in hourly requisition in tho kit chen is iu a kuife rack hung on the wall. New York Tribune. RF.i'IrP.H.
