Farm and Fireside. TO MAKE A ITSnMANKNT TASTtTtS. It is rery doubtful if it will pay any farmer to spend the needed money to make a permanent pasture, such as we read of being kept up in European countries, unless the bind is to be irri gated, when the work may be done with case. Otherwise one of our hot, dry spoils in summer may so injure the grass as to ruin the meadow. The work, however, is done as follows: Tho land is first Bnmnier fsllowed, to get rid of woods ; then richly manured and fertilized ; then reduced to tho finest tilth by repeated plowiugs and borrowings; then sown with Bueh a variety of grasses as will renew them selves as far as possible without seed ing, these kinds being those with spreading roots mostly. The bulk of the crass is Kentucky blue, meadow fescue, red fescue, fowl meadow, red top, oat and rye grasses, of each about twenty pounds. This seeding makes a thick growth, and the well-prepared soil soon has a thick sod on it Then this is preserved by frequent fertiliz ing, moderate grazing, and fresh seed occasionally. New York Times. CULTIVATION AS A FERTILIZE!! FOR WHEAT. Experiments in wheat culture through five years, at the New York Cornell University Station by I. P. Roberts, indieat that on strong or clayey lands it is often more economi cal to secure available plant food by extra culture than by the purchase of , fertility. In many strong wheat soils there is ruoro plant food than the variety of wheat grown oan utilize, though enough may not be available to produce a maximum crop. In changeable climates the wheat plant is so handicapped at times for want of suitable climate conditions, that it is unable to appropriate much of the available plant food in tho soil, and hence is not often benentod by ad ditional nourishment. The wheat crops in the experiments proved un able to elaborate more food than the amount furnished by the soil under the superior culture given some of the " plats. Tho fitting of the land for most crops is done so badly that under cer tain conditions even moderate amount of manure or fertilizers may not only fail to increase the vield, but may be positively harmful to the wheat crop to which they are applied, American Agriculturist. THE MODERN OHCHAITO. A chango has come over pnblio opinion. The thick setting of trees in orchards has been largely aban doned, and wide planting is the general practice. Such exoelleat re sults have been obtained from the change that many progressive farmers have gone still further. Observing that the trees at the ends of the orchard were always the most flourish ing, they naturally set to work to dis cover the cause for the difference. The explanation was soon found in the greater amount of air and sun the end trees receivod, and the more ex tended feeding-ground for the roots. Nowadays the tendency among pro gressive growers is to plant a single row of trees arcund a field, and double row directly across the centre of the field. This gives each tree the advantages formerly possessed by the end trees alone. It also makes the orchard less dispersed than it would be it the centre double row were omitted, and offers facilities for culti vating and gathering the fruit as speedily as possible. It would seem as though the day for planting trees in blocks were past, and that old fashioned orchards were doomed. New York World. BUSINESS METHODS IN FAB.lTINt. Every crop planted on the farm, every animal bought and every mau hired is an investment, involving sound business judgment, in both the planning aud the management, to in sure a profitable outcome. Too often crops are planted, or Btock raised, simply because other farmers raise them, without regard to the cost, the market or the adaptability to the par ticular farm and its eipiipmentvWhen planted, no account is kept of the ex pense, aud not even an estimate is made of the cost, but the crop is sold as soon as hai vested for what it will bring and the crop repeated the next season. While it would sometimes cost more thnu the orops were worth to keep a detailed set of accounts with each crop, still a simple business like set of fur in accounts will furnish the data whereby the profitableness of particular crops, or Mock, may be closely estimated, and thui furnish a safer basis thau guess-work for the abandonment of the crop, -or for changing its treatment. Many parts of the est i mates made for one yeur or field would answer for other years and fields. Whether accounts are kept with particular finds or crops or not, there should be an aceuuut opened with the farm, and others with household aud personul expenses. By taking stock each year it cau bo de termined whether the farm has been profitable; whether the improvements have exceeded the repairs; whether personal pleasures have been too ex travagant, aud whether the household department has been economically carried on. Of course there should be an account fur every person with whom a credit business is transacted, for even one admits that memory utterly tail iu keeping au accurate ivcord of euoh transactions. Treat the farm a person and see whether it can bo credited with a fair balanoe of profit every new year. If farming is a busi ness, then the keeping of farm ac counts will pay. American Agriculturist. ACCIDENTS ON THE FARM. While it is as desirable to employ veterinary surgeon in cases of severe sickness or dangerous injuries as it is to employ the family physician at times, it is well to know what to do in "emergency casce," when something must be done in less time than ii wonld take to get tho regular doctor to the spot, says a correspondent of tho American Cultivator. One of these casos is that of chok ing, whioh frequently happens when roots are fed without having been cut. If the obstruction is not large and has passed well down, it is often possible to move it further along by gently pushing down with a stick. A whip handle ronnded a little at the end is a good instrument for this purpose One person should hold the animal's head, so as to bring the month and throat in a straight line, and another should use the stick, and at the same time work npon the obstruction from the outside, rnbbing it downward. Push firmly bnt gently on the stick. Another method is to put a stick about as largo an one's wrist across the animal's mouth like a bridle bit, and tie it fast so as to oblige it to keep the mouth open. This will sometimes cause coughing, so that the obstruc tion will be thrown up, or will facili tate breathing until mucous enough has gathered around it so that it will pass downward. If the obstruction is not far down, the animal's mouth may be kept open by a horseshoe or by blocks between the jaws, and one with a small hand can reach down and withdraw it. Unless something is done soon the animal must choke to death, and time is of more importance than skill Cuts that produce profuse bleeding are another sort of cases that need at tention before a surgeon can be se cured. If the blood comes in jets at about the interval of a heart beat it is from an artery, and a tight bandage between the wound and body should be applied, then a stout stick plaoed below and twisted until the blood flows but slowly. If the one who puts it on knows enough of the course of the arteries to bring the knot directly over it it will hasten matters, and this should be a part of the education of a farmer. If the blood flows in a continuous stream put a wide bandage directly over the wound to keep the edges to gether, drawing it tightly as can be done with the hands. A handful of cotton, or even of green grass, under the edges will assist, or one may hold the edges together while another goes for a doctor. We have seen a horse's life saved in this way when the leg was badly cut by the mowing ma chine, and a man's life saved by the first method when a bullet had out the artery of the arm above the elbow. In neither case could a surgeon have been brought in Beason. Coleman's Eural World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Do not feed grain as an exclusive diet. The most successful trainers are the tireless workers. If your fowls are not looked after, do not expect too much from them. Pullets and yearling hens are the ones to put your dependence npon for a sure profit. Breeders will find more money in raising fewer animals and giving them a little training. With beekeeping and fruit growing combined two crops may be made from the same land. It is said that colic produced by eat ing honey may be cured by eating a small piece of cheese. Little chioks need feeding every two or throe hours, but as they grow older, the time may be lengthened. Berries relieve the soil of very lit tle fertility, and leave it in an excel lent condition for other crops. There is no real rivalry between the trotter and the hackney. Eaoh is good in his place, which is one that tho other cannot fill. The importance of the maternal an cestry is now bo generally recognized that this is called the broodmare age of trotting breeding. For growing berries of all kinds se lect well-drained soil on which some hoed crop was produced last season, potato ground being best. Liuooln and Cotswold rams, used with Meriuo ewes, produce large car casses aud long wool, if food supplies are liberal and good care given. Extracted honey requires less skill, but there is more profit in produoing the best white comb, for which there is always a demand, and which never suffers from competition with a cheap counterfeit. Home poultrymen claim that hens will never eat their eggs if they are given plenty of broken bone, oyster. and clam shells. The best plan is to keep a supply where they can help themselves. Some farmers who have spent a great deal of money aud many years in breed ing up a nice clues of mares, will fool ishly sell them off iu a fit of despon dency, retaining only such as they could not Bell. Bees never make an attack while in quest of houey or ou their return un til they have entered the hive, says a writer. It is only in tho hive aud in its vicinity that we may expect them to manifest this irascible disposition. One dollar a year has for years been the average profit of the well-kept hen, but the improvement made in feeding the last few years and the bet ter knowledge now possessed by poul terers are placing the average kicker.

Every young housekeeper should thoroughly understand tho difference between Btirring nnd beating. Many dishes are spoiled becsvno those things are not clearly understoD.l. In stirring tho object ii to combine the ingredients or to make a substance Bmooth. Tho spoon is kept rather close to tho bottom and sides of the bowl and is worked around and aronu 1 in the mixture until tha object is at tained. Beating is employed for two pur poses: First, to break up a substauce, as in beating eggs for breading or for custards; second, for making a sub stance light by imprisoning air in it. This is the case when wo beat the whites of eggs, cake batter, etc. Tho movement is very different from stir ring. ' The spoon or whisk at every stroke is partially lifted from the bowl and brings with it a portion of the materials that are being beaten, which carrios air with it in falling back. It is not the number of strokes thit make substances light, but rather tho vigor and rapidity with which tha beating is done. When using a spoon or whisk for beating take long up ward strokes, the more rapid the bet ter. The spoon should touch the bot tom of the bowl eaoh time and the mo tion mnst be regular. Another way to beat is to use the circular motion, in case the side of the spoon is kept close to the side of tha bowl. The spoon is moved rapidly in a circle, carrying with it a portion of the ingredients. New York World. BECIPES. Cheese Cake Pie Three eggs, ono cupful of sugar, one quart of soft smearkase.

It is the queerest of tho many antipodean won ders and paradoxes, and, for the want of a better name, lias been called tho "btillrush caterpillar" or "vegetable worm." The native Tasmaniau name for the oddity is "Awoto-Hotete." The above ground portion of this veg etable worm is a fungus of the order sphaeria, which grows to a height of six or eight inches. When pnllod up by tho root, this fungus is found to consist of a large caterpillar, showing head, segmonts and breathing holes every detail of tho grub leing per fectly preserved. On examination, of the interior of the caterpillar it is found to be composed of a "punky" looking substance, really the root ol the fungus, which has cremated every fiber of what was once a living, breath ing creature's anatomy. In all the in tdances which Auckland records, the sphaeria bad made its attack in the fold of skin between the second aud third segments of the caterpillar and had replaced all the animal substance of the orcaturo's body with a hard brown vegetable growth resembling the fungoid growths on blackberry and other vines.

LOVELL ARMS CO., 131 Breast tic. aud 14T WasMustou HI., "THE CLEANER 'TIS." WHAT IS A POL 1 2 r r 10 WAtl ST., NEW-YORK. Tho Virot IlotT. Tho Virpt bow, cither mado of wide ribbon or bias silk, is always placed against tho back of tho hat, with the jet or rhine stono "buckle that confines it resting its edge on tho hair. It re quires an almost inimitable deftness and surety of touch to make this Fronchy little bow. Tho fashionablo ribbon is watered. It requires about a yard to make a stylish Virot bow. The ends of tho ribbon should bo sewed together into four loops, two ou cither sido ; the upper ones should be a trifle longer than the lower ones. To tie these together the loops lire held firmly in the lingers and tho left ones are turned over tho right onos, form ing a knot in the center, which is cither fastened with a buckle or with ornamental ntiek pins, A frontal buuch of flowers or a low buckle of rhino stones is usually bo placed in front of tho hat as to preserve the ar tist io balanco when the Virot bow spreads its silken sails at the back. By the way, this poiutod efloct of the loops is acquired by drawing tho lower edgo of each loop tighter than the upper. Now York Advertiser.
