. ABOUT TEE FARM. ZXLnta for Farmer and Busy Housewives to Appreciate. The eld idea that plants fare oflj secretions that were poisonous to tboie of like character with themselTss has been gneroulr exploded by scientific InTestig&tion. There are no such ec ra tio a. TUnte exhatiat the toil, aod when they require plant food, which is srarce, the aapplr aoon becomes diffi cult. That ia all there ia of it. The wont case of so-called poisoned land can be cured by applying the fertil izers of which the aoil has been de pleted, c AVhen you po to the fair or the ware hou and tlio improved element for farm work, do not turn away with the iile that they were made to sell ami m.ike muuey on.

The old pike-tooth harrow u just the thin to tear up the furrow of the original soil that wad full of brake root aud would get sufficiently pulver ized bv the time it was levelled down; but now with clear soil and smooth furrows, scratching the surface is not whut U needed. The soil now needs to he pulverized and made looe as well as smooth cu the surface, and some of the-e implements which work, below the nurface, in a manner nearly the revernj of tho working of the ancient harrow, U whut we need.

Collier, that sugar cau be made at a cost of one cent per pound, becomes realized, it will be largely used for tiuishiDg off the fattening of stock. In fact, were sugar as cheap as it was three or four years ago, before the trusts put np its price, its cheaper grades and refuse syrup could be profitably given to fat tening animals. Sugar is nearly pure carbon, as also Is fat. In the old days, when slaves performed all the work iu shipping the canes, grinding them and manufacturing their product, planters always noticed that the negroes rapidly fattened at this time, though working more hours per day than at any other season. It may be urged that so much weet food is unhealthful, but to this it can be answered that the starchy food are in tho mouth and stomach converted into sweets during the pro cess of digeotion. ( hew a piece of bread or cracker slowly, so a to entirely mix it with the saliva in the mouth, ami you will find it becoming sweet from this chem ical clinnge of starch Into glucose sugar. It i not so sweet as caue sugar, and probably not so fattening. At least it i more palatable, and animals fed all the grain they will freely eat may have their appetites whetted for more by the addition of a little tweet ruing. Morse, when taught to eat sugar, often become extremely fond of It. A little wild oats will make tho coat shine, but it is not good for fur nUhing muacle for horses at work. Turkeys will not bear confinement. and when at large they pay no respect to farm lines and but littlo to dis tances. In alinoft every neighborhood there is now some one cultivating small fruit, and a dock of turkeys soon make trouble. Tho general ase of pai is green in the potato fields where turkeys freuently search for insects or green food endangers their lives to some extent. The rabbits and bird which are sought for human food de crease faster than bea-t and bird of prey, and tho latter are growing more bold and ravenous. Another fact which is perhaps as important as any is that there are ls boys and girls in country houses to look after such things, ami there is too much travel needed 2t tending turkeys for the old folks to add it to their other labors. Hut with alt thee facts in opposi tion, raising turkeys can be made profitable in many place yet. W here there is room for a large Hock to range it will pay to start a lot of them, au.l wheu they get old enough to let out of tho pens, which will bo in about a mouth front hatching, hire a boy or girl to keep watch of them and keep them from any place where they ran do damage or where their lives would be endangered. Fortunately turkey-breeding has, been kept down to solid business. There has been no attempt that we know of to breed them for fancy feathers, for fighting purposes or for singing, but theie are several varieties, which, as with other things, have their, fancies. We think the bronze turkeys are as good as any, and are more hardy than the black. In selecting female for breeding" look f r long' bodies and Qbort let. For Korthera latitudes (hs Souther Dent cora. which requirs a long sea son to mature, is not either for fodder or ensilage. Some of the earlier Northern varieties, which will either mature or come into earing-, are much better. It is not merely the mailer amount of nutrition that is to be taken Into account. Much of tbe balky, immature corn pat np In silos is not worth the labor it require to handle it in patting- it ap and feeding it oat. Try the fattening bogs with char coal. Ten to one they will eat it greedily, and will recover their appe tites if they have lost them by too heavy feeding. The alkali corrects the ascidity of the stomach. Possibly it might ia time injure digestion, but the fattening hog has not enough fu ture before him to make this of much consequence. Breeding hogs should not be fed corn. With a diet of milk. bran and roots they will not need the charcoal. Louis Keller, a Detroit batcher, challenges the world to a contest in sheep-killing. In a recent competition he killed, skinned and removed the inwards of twenty sheep in thirty eight minutes and thirty-five seconds. His opponent finished fifteen sheep in the same time. The fastest operatiou was a sheep in fifty-two seconds. The contest took place in a hall in Detroit, and was witnessed by a large concourse of butcher. The show was gotten up by the same par tie who two or three year ago got op horse-shoeing contest, in which Mar tin Dunn overcame all competitors. It would probably pay farmer who do their own butchering, often by slow and tedious methods, to go to stockyards or other places where men who make a business of killing ani mal learn great expertnes and quick- uess in the-e operations. After seeing these they will certainly be able to make quicker time at home, and will get new ideas about convenience for doing this kind of work. Farm Kote. - With the ordinary farmer a medium grade of sheep will probably pay best in the long run. Iu any event, use a full-blooded male to breed from and aim to improve your flock from year to year. The bane of the sheep business here tofore has been too much attention to wool and too little attention to mutton. The awakening interest in. and de mand for, good mutton are favorable symptoms, and point the way to future success in this industry. Flows that would dig the best among irocks and turn over the biggest junk of braky knoll were once in demand, (bat now we want the furrow turned over smooth and fiat so there will be no turning back of the sod where the harrow i put to work. The exports from the port of Boston for the week ending November 30, in cluded 26,818 pounds of butter, 818, S63 pounds of cheese, 113,210 pounds of oleo. For the same week last year the export included 6349 pound of butter, 64,600 pound of cheese, 90. 400 pounds of oleo. Do not forget to feed the chicks plenty of ground bone, oyster shells and an occasional feed of meat. Boil the small potatoes or other vegetables mixed with bran, adding a dash of red pepper and salt every few days. Ginger and sulphur may be fed in soft feed occasionally. The beat of the young cockerels should be selected for use next year, ann the ret should be forced for mar ket and disposed of at once. They will bring more now than at any time later. An excellent feed for them is corn-meal, mixed with boiling hot sweet skimmed milk. A swindler sold a farmer in Clinton county, Fenn., a recipe for making his wheat weigh twice as much at it ought to, and the granger signed a contract to divide the money gained by the extra weight with the swindler. The contract eventually turned up as a promissory note, and tho farmer paid 300 for it. ! Bran is rich in phosphates, but it I a food the hens do not like unless it i .scalded. Never feed it to them in a raw condition, as it is liable to cause bowel disease. A mixture of equal parts of bran, corn meal and ground oats, scalded and allowed to remain until the mess is cool, is the best grain food that can be fed. A Uoed Bargain. A schoolboy de lined strong drink as "the stall that causes tho most human liappiness by lettin' it alone." Mere Patrick seems to give credit to the ram seller by a similar back-handed proce. of reasoning. At a temperance meeting whero sev eral related their experiences, a hum orous Irishman was acknowledged to be the chief speaker. He had on a pair of fine new boots. Said he, "A week after I signed tUa pledge I met an old friend and he ., Thim'a a tine pair of boots you have on.' Tbr.y are, says I, 'and by the same token 'twas the saloon-keeper who gave them to me. 'That was generous of him,' says he. 'It was,' says I, 'but I made a bar gain with him. He was to keep bla drink and I was to keep my money. My money bought me these fine booU. I got the best of tho bargain, and I'm going to stick to it." Temperance Banner.

The residence of Mr. Sherry, which is being built in Fifth avenue, New York, will have, it is said, one of the most beautiful ball-room in the east. The room is to be fifty feet square and forty feet high and roofed with a dome of stained glass to harmonize with the decoration and through which the glare of the electric light will be softened. At one end of the room is the musician' balcony, over which is to le a sounding-board, and under which Chesterfield seats and. cushioned divans will be placed for dowagers. The finishing of the room will be done in white and gold after the court of I.011U XVI ; tho walls will be draped with ivory and pale green brocade, aud the hangings will be of heavy tapestry cloth. Besides the dome lights there will be sconces of. French gilt along the side walls, and the fioor will be as perfect as it can bo made. The banquet ball is to have a pink interior, and for tea aud lunch parties there is a suit of throe smaller, rooms to be known as tho pink, yellow and blue parlor. Dressmaking at home a thing un known till quite recently among French ladies of ton is now becoming quite an institution, even in the most fashion able French families. Not that the ladies undertake the confection of their toilettes themselves, though they some time assist the "grando faiscuso a domicile'' whom they employ for the, purpose. She is usually a j-erfectly qualified artist who has occupied a leading position in one of tho great Parisian establishments, but w ho pre fer earning a roving living on her own account. She is ready to start at a moment's notice for any part of Franco or of F.urope, town or country where her services may be required, bringing her staff of assistants with her according to tho needs of the case. Her pay is at the rate of 40 a month and everything found, aud she expects to be treated by her employers with all the consideration due a lady. Some of the bei-t-dressed ladies in P-vis are kuowu to employ tho domieilliary faiseuse, and it is said that a large jor tiou of the trousseau of tho Duchess of Sparta was produced under her auspices aud inspiration. The fashionable woman finds it a little difficult, at this time of the year, to keep clean, and it is by no means as inexpensive an operation as it is usually, support. She walks out in her blue :oat, with its heavy trimmiug of black fur, and comes home with a broad ulack band around her throat that soap and water will not remove even if prayer accompanies it. Tho finer your skin the inoro difficult is this, mark to get off, and it is usually best done as they recommend at the Turk ish bath by the use of a lemon; jut halve it aud rub the raw part around your throat exactly a if it were a sake of soap. You are determined cot to get rheumatism, and so you wear black silk uuderwear. No natter bow expensive it is, no matter iow many times it has beeu washed wherever your stays or a belt baud press against it you are marked not necessarily for life, but until you get lomcbody to scrub you off with a -mall bru-h. Half tho women go to the Kus-ian bath to get these marks off them, lecauso the gentle vapor and hard ruhbing will soon cause them to Jisppear. Half the women in New York would a-k if they dropped dead an the street, that their clothes might not be taken oil them, and tho re-sou cau be understood. A writer in Harper's Baar gives a few hints regarding tho furnishing of a sewing room. One may bo guided bv taste and length of purse, or by economy and common sense." I have een a rcmaikably dainty sewing room Sued up a la Japanese from the Wad and bamboo portieres to the matting and rugs ux.n tho floor, and another where the furniture consisted of rat tan armchairs, rocking chairs, tablo and footstool, with work aud scrap baskets to match, all decorated with bows and rosettes, and with delicately tinted ribbon drawn through the open meshes of their frames and plentifully supplied with plush cushion. But one that bore tho stamp of com fort as well a utility contained a cut ting table, so constructed that when not in use it could bo folded fiat ainl, hidden from sight ; a few chairs, tho leg of which had been shortened, so that tho person occupying them could at one and the same timo find a resting' place for her et and a support for her back; a laphoard and a sewingj maehine. In one corner stood a three-j leaved screen, intended to place before the window during tho proeee of fitting, and a row of hooks ran along the wall, from which garments under going manufacture or alterations were suspended beneath a rurtain. Neither hail tho useful skirt form been for gotten. Some lovely Japanese curtains and everything is Japanese at present, you know have a dark-blue border about three inches wido around the entire curtain; over the centre are trailing flower and vines, the former mostly1 in pinks. For the toilet table there is nothing much more necessary than a jar of common salt it is a panacea for so many ills. A little of it dissolved in warm water is sure to remove the siight inflammation from eyelids redi dened by a long drUe in tho wind.
