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,

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.

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

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.

TO STIR OR TO BEAT.
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.

A Remarkable Caterpillar. "
la Xew Zealand nod Australia thoy
Lave an animal which, from all ac
counts, cannot be equaled by any
other animate or innnimato object
upon tho earth's surface. 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. St. Louis Hepuddic.
Virtues ol Salt.
Common salt is one of the most
valuable remedial agents tho world
contains. Used as a tooth powder,
alone or with a little prepared chalk,
it whitens the teeth and makes the
gums hard and rosy. It is a good gar
gle for sore throat, and if taken in
time will benefit, if not cure diphther
ia. It will stop bloeding of the
mouth, and in warm water is a good
emetic and remedy against several
poisons. There is nothing better for
sore feet and hands than salt and
water, and for ordinary sore eyes,
though a painful operation, will often
effect a complete cure. Indianapolis

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.
