AEOUT THE FARM.
Uinta for Farmers and Busy
Housewives to Appreciate.
It may seem like a Ilibernicisra tbtt
a good take U the best hoe, Lf tlie rake

fore the weeds get too large among
cabbages, cauliflowers and other planti
that need frequent working. Try the
ruke early and often.
I hare given up the idea that pure
bred poultry is the most profitable on
the farm for many reasons. Expert
ieuce teaches me that the best breed
for the farm is one that is most profi
table under all circumstances. None
of your fancy breeds, but a happy me
dium. In other words, for a breed of
your ow n "get up," take the common
fowls. Vuu can breed them up to any
desired quality you wish. While they
will not be pure, they will be far
more healthy, more profitable, and just
The destructive black-rot of grapes
Is successfully treated by a prepara
tion of lime and baits of copper, called
the Bordeaux mixture. It is made as
IkIIuus: Dissolve six pounds of sul
phate uf copper (blue vitriol) iu six.
tfceu gallons of water ; audio another
vessel slake six pounds of lime iu six
gallons of water. AVhen the latter is
cool pour it slowly into the solution,
stirring constantly to keep well mixed.
This is diluted at the rate of one gaijou
of the mixture to twenty gallons of
Water, and being applied by being
forced through a spray nozzle.
If you save all the slops from the
Louse, the wash-water, and suds of
Sundry occasions during the week, you
will tind that )ou will have a supply of
Ziutiinieut at hand to draw upon w hich
is tar richer than you had any idea.
It w ill not make a poor Soil permanent
ly rich, but it w ill afford sufficient nu
triment to nourish such plants as you
grow in it during the summer in a very
satisfactory manner. "We planted
some annuals on a stiff clay that ' bad
been thrown out of a cellar. We water
them regularly with suds and slops,
and they surpass in growth and flori
fetuusiiess those grown in the garden
The very worst weed in the lawi
grass is itself a gl ass the "crab grass"
often called Oigitaria, but properly
Paniiuiu sunguinale. In some of the
Southern Stales this grass is of value
as eupph ing a poor hay. It Is hardly
obeen ed in the lawn unless one looks
for it. It seldom starts before this
month, w lieu its prostrate stems lie
close to the ground, rooting at each of
its many joints and forming a dense
mat, which chokes the lawn grass and
robs it of all its moisture. It is an
annual, and the only help is the mower,
which will cutoff the flower heads,
and thus prevent seeding for another
year.
It is difficult to remove the smell
Imparted to the clothing by milking
and the care of horses. But they may
be laigcly prevented. Common land
plaster sprinkled freely in horse and
cow stables will absorb most of the us
moniacul odors. A weak solution of
copperas sprinkled from a watering
pot is an additional and very effective
deodorizer. Of course all such means
for maintaining purity are useless
without perfect cleanliness and good
ventilation. But with those and
the simple appliances named,
the air of the stable may be kept
as flee from offensive odors as that of
a parlor.
1 The so-called " green bug " which
has infested the wheat fields is not an
entirely new pest, but the grain plant
louse of Europe, which was first
noticed in this country In 1861.
It is a minute blueish-green
of pale-brown aphis, no larger than
the eye of a house-fly. Iu form it re
resembles the green fly or plaut-luiise
so common on house-plants, and like
them a part are wingless, and others
have large gauzy wings. Small as it
is, the grain plant-louse does much
mischief by sheer force of numbers,
crowding the tems and greeu heads
of wheat in masses, and sucking gut
the Juices. Warm, dry weather fafSrs
iu propagation.
If the farm is running down and
the owner getting poor, there is no ro
tation which will turn the tide in his
favor more promptly than the one
mentioned above. The laud is plowed
in August, and rye, at the rate of five
pecks to the acre, is sown. In Sep
tember we sow timothy eeed, and in
March sow a liberal supply of clover,
which germinutes very early and bf
August is in the height of its glory.
Then the sheep ale turned in and that
plot of ground was not "run down"
unless overstocked. When this sheep
pastuie is plowed up and planted to.
corn, a woudeiful change will be no
ticed. Two crops of coin, one of oats,
then back to rye, clover, and sheep
tgaiu, completes the rotation.
Ccre for Colic i.n Horses. C. H.
Alien, Queens Co., T. Y., writes us
that he has f jund three drops of tinc
ture of colocyr.th a sui t cure for colic.
The tincture is to be given in three or
four tablepoouf uis of water, repeating
the dose every twenty minutes until
there is relief. Colocynth is a strong
irritant, yet, although we do not doubt
that hoi ses have recovered from colio
after taking thite drops of tincture of
colocyr.th, we can hardly believe that
so small a dose has produced this
effect. It is giveu to the human sub
ject in doses of from five to fifteen
grains. Among the most effectual
remedies for both spasmodic and flatu
lent colic in the horse ais the follow
ing : Aloes, eight drains ; tincture of
aconite, thirty drops, in a pint of
rater; or linseed oil a pint, to which
easy or not be added an ounce of sul
phuric ether; or oil of turpentine, two
trams; laudanum one ounce j linseed

FOR WOMEN FOLK.
News and Gossip from Far and
Near for the Fair Sex.
You can tell "pretty well how a girt
feels toward you by the way the takes
your arm. If she doesn't care a cent
you know It by the Indifference of her
muscles. If she has a great confidence
in you the pressure tells it; and friend
ship is as distinct from love in that
mode of expression as in words or
looks. A woman can take the arm of
a fellow she likes very much with per
fect comfort, even if she is six feet
high and he is four. But even if the
two are just matched, she can make
him feel disdain, contempt, discom
fort, dislike, anything she likes, by
the way she does not hold on to him
There are very few women who keei
their top bureau drawer in order. ' It
is the final test of neatness, and a girl
who keeps her ribbons, hairpins, col
lars, caffs, and the infinitesimal articles
iu separate boxes will always be neat
about everything. Most women, how
ever, are dainty about their scented
sachets, and lavender bags. There is
a fancy now for having all linen scent
ed with lavender, as our grandmothers
did. The sweet 6tuff is put into little
bag of sweet cambric or silk, and
placed between the sheets and table
cloths, as well as in the drawers wher
underwear is kept.
The inquisitive woman is the noit
objectionable and pestiferous affliction
of summer resort life. She opens her
eyes in the morning with a determina
tion to let them look at her neighbors,
and when she closes them at sight she
is certain that they have stared so that
they will in the future recognize any
gown, are acquainted with the size ol
the shoe and glove worn by every wo
man, know exactly who have wine foi
dinner, and have impertinently glared
at every human being, as if looking
for the missing link. She is oftencst
an elderly girl, or a young married
woman who has cultivated ill-temper
at the expense of her husband, and
who begrudges to the other women any
of the pleasures of life.
The woman of Rome in old days was
married at nightfall. She was dressed
in a white robe, a symbol of her vir
gin purity, bound round her waist
with a woolen sash; her hair wai
pleated into six tresses, after those of
the Vestal virgins ; on her head she
wore a flame-colored veil and a fresh
Wicath of the sacred verbena, for the.
wife and priestess in her family. Un
der the protection of Juna Doniiducs
(the home leader) she passed through
the streets accompanied by her friends,
and lighted on her way with torches.
By her side walked a young boy carry
ing an open basket, in which lay a
hank of wool, a distaff and a spindle,
for spinning was the great duty of the
Roman matron of the republic. To be
a good spinner was a gem in her crown
of virtues, by the side of chastity and
frugality.
To keep the skin from wrinkles
when powder is daily used, wash the
powder carefully off at night, then
apply the whitest vaseline, any good
cold cream, or pure sweet cream,
letting it lie on the face and neck a
few minutes and washing with a soft
cloth. Next morning wash the face
with very hot water, which contracts
the skiu and wards off wrinkles. To
soften the complexion and prevent
unburn, use glycerine diluted in this
way: Pour four spoonfuls of glycerine
into a bottle, cut with one-fourth as
much best cologne, and fill with soft
water. Rub a spoonful of this over
ie face before going out. A cosmet
ic, excellent in effect but far from
pleasant, is buttermilk and oatmeal
Hakes. Put a handful of the flakes,
which are steam-cooked and swell
rapidly, into a quart Jar filled with
acid buttermilk, stirring well. In teu
miuutes the mixture will be a soft
paste, which is spread on face and
hands and left to dry, when it is
washed off with hot water. The vir
tues of this paste in whitening the
jkin, removing tan and freckles, are
highly praised by ladies who have
tried it. The sourer the buttermilk
the better, as it is the acid which acts
as a detergent on the skin.

If one is wiliinpr to dv. te a little
time and patience to the wort, a gre it
variety of moBt de 'Scions bonbon umy
be made at less tbun half the priire
ordinarily clrirg d by the confectioner.
Recipes have beenofieu given for vari
ous cream candies compounded of
confectioner's sugar w.irked to a p i.-tu
with water and the white or un e'g.
The chief, if not the only merit, which
these po.-sess, is that they are vciy
quickly prepared. They are so reitt!y
inferior to the boiled cream confections
in every way, especial!. in wholesoine
ness, that no space wid be devoted to
them here.
Granulated sugar may be recommend
ed for ail creams as being more reliablt
than powdered or confectioner's sugar.
Excellent results are produced with
the pulverized auear oftentimes, but it
is not so uniformly pure. In making
the foundation cream the writer invar
iably uses water and the granulated
sugar. Milk or cream is preferable to
water by some good bonbon makers.
One objection may be urged against
either of these, w hich the inexperienced
will do well to consider. If one chances
to fail in the first experiment with the
foundation cream, it ia a simple matter
to add more water and repeat the pro
cess, and the cream will not suffer
because of tlie second boiling. W here
milk is used, the flavor of the cream is
likely to be impaired by so much cook
ing, and this is even more noticeable
with cream.
VOCTNDATIOX CREAM.
To a pint of granulated sugar allow a
scant half-pint of water. Place them on
the back of the range in a graaite kettle
or bright tin basin, until the sugar has
nearly dissolved, shaking the kettle occa
sionally to assist the process, but never
stirring. BriDg forward and boil,
skimming off whatever impurities rise
to the snrface without disturbing the
syrup. When it has boiled ten minutes,
test it by allowing it to run slowly from
the end of the spoon. It will soon drip
in elongated drops, and finally a long
fine thread will float from the end of
the spoon. As soon as as this appears,
remove from the fire and set in a pan of
snow or in ice-water, and allow it to
partially cool. While still blood warm
begin to work it with a stout spoon.
Should the syrup be boiled too long a
crust will have formed on the top,
which may be removed before stirring.
When cooked exactly right the surface
is covered with a thin skin. When the
syrup thickens and whitens add a pinch
of cream of tartar. Beat again until
thick enough to handle, then work with
the hands. Add any flavoring desired.
This fonndation cream ia the base of
almost all fine, rioh bonbons. Its excel
lence depends upon several conditions.
First, the sugir should be pure; it
should be allowed to dissolve gradually ;it
should not be stirred at all while on the
stove; it mnst be cooked to exactly the
right consistency ; it should be partially
cooled before being worked, and then
worked vigorously and well. A little
experience enables one to tell just the
instant the syrup should be removed
from the fire, and the rest of the work
presents no obstacles. If cooked too
long the cream will "grain" and become
dry and hard, while with too little
cooking one will not be able to mould
It
COCOANUT BALLS.
Flavor a portion of the fonndation
cream with vanilla and work in a little
desiccated coooaut. Form into small
balls and set in a cold place for a little
time. Moisten each slightly with
beaten white of egg a brush is excel
lent for this purpose then roll in
grated cocoanut and set in a cold place
till firm.
Fia STBIPS.
Chop a few figs, and cook with a
little water and sugar until they become
a thick paste. Make a small sheet of the
cream, spread with the tig paste, which
should be cold, cover with another
sneet ox the cream, press together well,
ana cut in snort strips or squares.
CREAMED ALMONDS.
Flavor the cream with almond extract
ana Tiorm into loaf-shaped candies.
Press an almond into the center of each
and roll in coarse sugar or in chopped
almon in, as preferred. It is costomarv
to use the almonds without blanching, as
me na ror is nner.
CHOCOLATE CREAMS.

the cream. Make into small balls and
set aside on a buttered plate till firm.
Break up some Baker's chocolate and
set the basin containing it in boiling
water umii me cnocoiate nas dissolved.
Add a tiny bit of butter or melted snet
to thin it a little. Drop the cream
balls, one at a time, in the chocolate
till all ure coated, then set away to
harden. In coating the creams, long
slender sticks will be found very help
ful. Hard wood toothpicks will answer
nicely.
CHOCOLATE COCOANTJTS.
Chocolate coooanuts, which are
estiejially fine, are made very much
like the creams save that a little dessic
cated cocoanut is .worked into the
creams which is moulded into oblong
shapes then rolled in chocolate. Other
chocolates contain walnut meats, al
mon Is or filberts.
The French candied fruits help one
in making a variety, the pineapple
being especially nice. One slice is suf
ficient for a good many bonbons. The
cherries are not quite so good eating,
but help to make an attractive assort
ment. Some of the bonbons may be tinted
pink by adding to part of the cream a
very little fruit coloring extract.
RIBBON STRIPS.
Ribbon strips are very pretty. Di
vide the cream into three equal parts.
Add a little dissolved chocolate to one,
the pink extract to another, and flavor
the third portion with vanilla. Make
them into three layers, press together,
and when firm cut in small strips.
CHOCOLATE CARAMELS, NO. 1.
One pint of brown sugar, one gill of
sweet milk.one-halfpihtof molasses,one
half cake of Baker's chocolate, grated,
and a good teaspoonful of butter.
Boil over a slow fire, stirring until the
ingredients are dissolved and occasion
ally afterward, as it burns easily. Test
it by dropping a little) into cold water.
If it hardens quickly remove at ouce
from the fire, flavor with vanilla and
pour into buttered tins. One should
be careful iu adding t e extract, as the
heat is likely to set fire to the alcohol,
especially if added while on the stove.
When cool, mark the caramels iu squares
with a buttered knife.
