When needed for use, mix a gill of
this liquid in fire gallons ot water.

SOIL FOR ORCHARD ORASS.
This grass will do well on any
kind of good fertilo land, bnt best
on a moist, but not wet, clayey
soil. On tuch soil it grows with great
luxuriance, and has a deep green
color not seen on lighter and dryer
land, It grows fully five feet tall on
such land, and makes very good hay,
bnt lighter than timothy. It ripens a
month before timothy, and should not
be sown with this grass. It is in a
good condition for cutting when tho
small red clover is, and thus these two
go well together. But the orchard
gross will contiuue for a great many
years, and makes every 'year a good
hay, and pasture during the summer.
AY hero the winters are mild, as in the
Southern States, this grass will sup
ply pasture during the whole winter.
Tho seed is light and weighs only
twelve pounds a bushel. Two bushels

THE PIG IS AOPJCtTLTCBB.
lie is found to produce a pound of
product from less food than either
cattle or sheep, and therefore the
most economical machine to manufac
ture our great crop into marketable
meat. Our people are becoming
wiser every year, and exporting less,
proportionately, of the raw material
and more of the condensed product.
If it takes seven ponnda of corn on an
average to make a pound of pork, as
io no doubt the case, the farmer be
gins to see the great economy of ex
porting one pound of pork, bacon or
ham, instead of seven pounds ot corn.
The difference in cost of freight makes
a fino profit of itself; besides, the
pound of meat is usually worth more
than seven pounds of corn in tho for
eign market. Tho production of pork
Ehould be encouraged on tho further
consideration that it carriei off less of
the valuable constituents of the soil
than beef. Tho fat pig contains only
three-fourths as much mineral matter
per hundredweight as the fat steer,
and only two-fifths as much nitrogen
per hundredweight, therefore, the
production of a ton of pork on the
farm will carry off only a little more
than half the fertility carried off by a
ton of beef. This gives in round
numbers the comparative effect ot
producing pork and beef. It is thus
evident that tho pig should have a
high place in our agriculture; should
bo fostered in every way his capabil
ities studied and pushed his diseases
carefully noted aud prevented, for he
is the most profitable meat produoing
animal on the farm. The pig is an
exoellent adjunct to the dairy, turning
all the refuse milk whey into cash.
As he is king of onr moat exports, so
let us treat him with great consid
eration. St. Louis Star-Sayings,
TUB APPLE AS A COMMERCIAL CROP.
Hpraying with the copper solutions
will not, alone, give an apple crop
every year, as some horticulturists
seem to think. Apples ordinarily s.re
a full crop on alternate years, because
when they do bear the crop is heavy
and so exhaustive that tho tree taes
the following season to recuperate. II
the fruit was thinned leaving only a
moderato crop to be matured and
the tree given proper fertilization, a
crop could be grown every year. The
crying nood of the great majority
of our orchards to-day, especially
those that have been in bearing for a
number of years, ia potash in some
form. There is nothing Letter than
hard-wood ashes where these can be
obtained at fair prices.
In setting out an orchard many
points should be taken into considera
tion such us tho market tho fruit is
designed for, the varieties which
flourish best in tho vicinity, produc
tiveness, keeping qualities, eto. Tho
commonest mistuke it that of planting
too many varieties. As a rule throo
or four varieties of established
adoptability to your conditions and
popular in market are enough for any
commercial orchard, and it iB oftener
than otherwise good judgment toiuuke
the list still smuller. Single trees of
varieties grown for family use may be
added if desired, but it is wiser gener
ally to graft two or three kinds on a
single tree to make up this variety,
rather than to plant so muuy trees.
We should not be deterred from plant
ing desirable market varieties because
they have been badly affected by scab,

THE riLUlf ESPAKAQCS.
Few of tho new decorative plants
have nttracted more attention than
the dinVrent varieties of espuraguu.
The first of these to become generally
known was esparagns tennisslmua, a
slender climber with fino foathory
foliafro ; a plant which advanced so
rapidly in public favor as to soon bo
come a rival of tho popular stnilax.
From a large cluster of roots dozens
of fast-growing wiry atoms spring and
soon hido themselves in the soft foli
age, as fine as silken threads.
Another variety of later introduc
tion is esporaqus oormoriousia, another
elegant climber for the house or con
servatory, and by some considered
even superior to tennisniuiun, boing ot
more vigorous growth, lint these
olimbers nood support, but it must be
slender and dainty to suit such airy,
graceful plant.
Still more attractive is the newer
kind esp'aragus plumosa, a gem in
delicacy and fineness of toxture, and
in the arrangement of its foliage
This has been called the "fern espara
gun," from its fern-like habit ot
growth and from the peculiar placing
of tho leaves on their frond-like stalks.
The foliage is of a bright emerald
green, and as fine as mist, and instead
of being fluffy each branch of leaves
has the appearanco of having been
pressed. Nothing can be fluer for
cut-flower work than the fairy-like
sprays of this plant It grows only
eighteen or twenty inches high, tho
stalks arching gracefully but showing
no inclination to ran, whioh makes
this variety superior as a table dooor
at ion.
Its foliage is durable, a spray placed
in water keeping freBh a week or
longer. For combining with violota
or other small flowers this esparagus
has no equal.
Like tho smilax, all varieties of es
paragus are easily grown it placed in
good loamy soil, no special care being
needed except to give them partial
shade and an annual ront.
Showering the foliage every day ia
recommendod, bat my plants do not
got it, yet they grow finely.
There are still othor varieties of
esparagus now offered, five or six, and
all highly recommended, but I have
not yet given them a trial, and cannot
bolieve any of them equal the misty
fern-like plumost and tho plumy es
paragus tennissimus. Detroit Free

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIItS.
HFLTtS FOn SERVING VEOETARLK'.
The usual rtilo for serving vegeta
bles is ono green vegetable aud one
starchy vegetable. It a green salad is
used this often takes tho place of tho
green vegetable, and at certain soasons
of the year it is difficult in many places
to get more than one. An excess of
starchy vegetables should bo avoided,
as ono also has starch iu tho form ol
bread aud in potatoes. With fish
vegetables of delicate flavor should be
used, either potatoop, tomatoes cooked
in many ways, cucumbers or greoa
peas. With roast boef ono may sorvo
sweet or white potatoes, or in their
ploco boiled rieo or hominy, cauli
flower, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes,
onions, okra, young beets, boot greens,
greon pens aud Lima beans. Tho
same vegetables may bo served with
beefsteak as woli as salsify, asparagus

serve potatoes, cauliflower, young car

HOW TO TELL GOOD BEEF.
The best beef comes from a heifer or
young steer anywhero from three to
seven or eight years of ago. After
this ago tho animal is known as a oow
or an ox, and if it has been well oared
for and is well fod it may for two or
three rears yet furnish fairly good
meat, but not the best. Aocordiug to
age the meat becomes coarser, tougher
and darker, until it is finally unfit for
use on a re&ned table.
Good boef should be smooth-
grained, clastic and juicy, but never
wet. To tell whether it is fresh or
not, press against it with the finger,
and if it is elostio and resumes its
place quickly it is frosh ; if tho dent
made by the fingor romains, or if it is
slippery or wet, avoid it, for it is
already m the first stages of decay and
is unwholesome. Tho mistake of get
ting meat that is too old is often mado
by those who like what we call a high
flavor. As a matter of fact, beef that
has a very high flavor has becun to
deoay, and is not only poisonous and
unfit to eat, bnt the idea of it is dis
agreeable to people of fastidious tastes,
or would be if it were called by its
rigut name.
The color aa well as tho texture of
beef varies with ago. A good young
beef should have the lean a dark aud
rather dingy red whon first cut.
changing in a few minutes to a bright,
cloar red, as rod as a cherry. Tho
older the animal was when killed tho
darker and less clear the lean meut
will be. When it is pale aud pinkish
it is immature. The fat ehould be a
light straw-color, the suet or kidnoy
i at . being somewhat brighter than the
fat of the muscles.
The texture of good beof is smooth
and close-grained, and when cold
should appear marbled with fat. Whon
it is very lean-looking, or stringy, or
rough, it is too old. The fat should
not be solid and hard like that of
mutton, but should be flaky, and the
suet fut should be so dry that it will
crumble. When tho fat is oily or dull
in color, the boef is sure to be of bad
quality. Demorest's Magazine.

despite tho tendency of tho times, cling. to
belief in the liberty of tho subject aud conse
quent right of any man to get drunk as Often
as his purso or tho liberality of his friends
will permit.
Tho report tieats tho Inebriate as a crimi
nal or a baby, or both, donles his right to ad
minister his property, Bays ho should uot be
allowed to discipline his fandlv, and recom
mends legislation for him based upon the as
sumption thut he Is a lunatic who ought to
be placed under restraint whethor ho liked it
or not.
Tho commlttoo class the victims of opium
and othor drugs as habitual druukards, aud
propose to givo thoir relatives tho power of
putting them under restraint. Gold oures
and othor alleged speellles are summarily de
nounced and their use will bo abolished if
tho recommendations of the commlttoo bo
carried Into legislative effect, which is not
likoly.

Severe things aro sold ot whisky, and a
great many of thorn aro deserved, but it
would be well to do justleo even to whisky.
It Is doserlbod us a decolvor, as a tempter.
Whisky is emiueutly fulr and above board,
and uses no deceit. It posts Its warnings
everywhere, and It Is a man's fuult If ho
don't profit by them. Wherever you sea
rags, squalor, wretchedness, you have en
countered ono of whisky's warnings: when
you visit tho pauiiera' cornor of the grave
yard and look upon tho nameless mounds,
you will Had them there. Whisky Is fair;
whisky hnugs its banner ou tho outer walls;
whisky llauuts Its emblematic skull und
cross bones in tho broud light of day.
Tho man who wrestles with whisky will bo
downed. No matter how strong ho mny bo,
or how much of tho tirujeo-lloiuau Contest
bo may know, sooner or later his shoulders
will go to tho lioor, and tho referee will
award tho diamond belt to whisky. Utit
whisky wrestles fuirly; it does not gouge; it
does not strangle; It simply crushes its vic
tim by superior wuight.
Moral: Do not wrestlo with whisky.

SAVED IttUH LUNACY.
Mr. William Tullack, of tua Howard Asso
ciation, says, in a letter in the London
Times on "Prisons and Hentenoos:" "In
visiting prisons I have again and again been
assured that coming to J nil prevents many
offenders from going mad; for it Is the drink
thut chiefly makes them iusuue. Here they
get no ulcohol, uud heuea many aro saved
from luuucy. Certainly they get better in
Jail rathor than worse; and there is no duuger
whutuver of cellulur sepurutlou for short
terms Injuring prisoners' minds."
A juoue's testimony.
In uu address before the Ministers' Union,
at Cleveland, Judge Loguc, of that city, bore
bis testimony to tho relation of drink and
crime. Ho had been Judge of tho Police
Court for four years, and during that time
40,000 cases had come before liim. "Last
year," he said, "of tho cases brought beloro
me 4207 weio eases of intoxication, the
siuullest number for uuy year during my
term of ofllce. Tho year beforo there wero
4'J50 aud previous to thut DJltA Four-fifths
of all tbo cases brought il.to court were tho
result of iutoxicutiou. While the charge ou
which tho olTense was txuiuincd may huve
been other lhau Intoxication, tho evidence
brought out the fact thut tho uo of liquor is
responsible for nil but a small percent, of the
crime thut is committed."

Some Old Legal Freak.
There is said to bo a law in Massa
chusetts making it au ofTonso to give
away an object or thing as an induce
ment to purchase other things; for
example, to give away a picture with
ovcry certain amount of othor things
purchased. There was once a law
which made it an ofTonso for a man to
kiss his wifo ou Suuday, but wan
straugely silent about kissing somo
other mnu's wifo. Many a man still
living ran remember whou it was not
pcrmissablo to opon tho theatres iu

thero was a law to punish any dissi
