TtOW TO APPLY 1,1 MR TO LANll,
As lime is soluble most easily in cold
water, it is usual to apply it to the
land late in tho summer, or rven in
tho winter. 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

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

Tho fall of tho year is the time to

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.
