AEOUT THE FATttf, Uinta for Farmers and Busj Housewives to Appreciate. Eat all cold food glowly. Digestion Will not ltffritl till till (mnArfl'iir the food has b en raided by the heat ol the stomach to ninetv-eiirlit der pes. Hence the more heat that can be im parted to it by slow iiiaiticatioii, the better. The precipitation of a large quantity of cold food into the stomach by fast eating may, and often does, cause discomfort and indigestion, and every occa'ioit of this kind results in a measurable injury to tlio digestive function. Ice-wale, drunk with cold food of course iiicrcat.es the minchie'. Hot drinks hot water, weak tea, cof fee, chocolate, etc. will, on the con trary, help to prevent it. Hut eat slowly, anyway. Any one who his ever eaten the de ficiuii .Southern ilihh gumbo will for ever afte - hate a li'ih opinion of okra, and will not be at a loss to know why it in cul.ivuted. The conservative cul inary authority of the encyclopa-dia declares thut okra is cultivated "for its yiung pods, which abound in mu-cil.-tge; their principal use is to impart a iltickeiiiu.' to coups." If the enthu siaslic believer in the industrial value of okra are to be tr B ed it will be cul 'ivated for the pocket instead of the palate of the .Smith. Like its relatives of the mallow family the okra has a tibre, and this it is believed can be used as a substitute for jute and work ed up into bagging. The agricultural department of South Carolina has re cently received upecimeng of ol. ra fibre and has forwarded some of them to Secretary Ku-k, who is said to be a be iever in okra. In the okra stalk the fibre is sur rounded by the wood, not mixed with it, and is therefore quickly separable by machinery, while jule must be. se parated by hand. Some okra enthusi asts predict llmt it will displace King Cotton, and more conservative people believe that the fibre will be found to have great mercHiiti e value. The South is milking bagging of various materials and will try okra rather than pay tribute to the jute trust. In this leaped the South has shown a sturdv determination to be independent of ti ust dictation. Fattening the birds is an important, out not a ditlii-ult matter. The birds are shut up in a ILu'lit, dry, but roomy house or shed for about six weeks, and ure fed twice a day on barley meal mixed with mi!k, but always have good barley and iiiiiiz by them if they feel hungry. They are also givrn milk to drink, and roots of various kinds, wiih cabbage, are allowed to them, as well us a plentiful supply of sand, ashes, and lime to assist digestion. Thy a o kept strictly clean, ami food is never a!l.:. ed to lie about and become sour. The great secret of turkey feeding is to keep the birds from becoming sirk, and to kill them oil' so soon as the pro cess of ripening is completed. A hun dred and lifty jears ago the birds were lent in drovei to London, as we havo already seen, and fatted in the neigh bourhood of the metropoli-, if failed at all. I.a'cr on a series of express carts was established, by means of which the birds could be delivered to J oik In n in two davs and a night. Hut now they are killed on the spot, pluck ed and dressed, and within a few hours can be delivered into the poulterers' chops. There is another nse to which the turkey is put, thoiiuh it has nothing to do with the question of supplying the markets, tin m. ly , as a hatcher and brooder. Turkey eocks as well as bans can be trained to sit ami rear any variety of fowl, and as they cover a largo number of cgsjs and chickens, they can do a considerable amount of work in this direction. It is no un common th nfi '" '"ino t artsof France to see a turkey gobbler looking after a flock of little chickens, perhaps thirty lu number, with all the zeal and care of au old matron. Pall Mull Budget. Canned food of every description is iow almost universally used all over tiie world, and the argiiiiitnts for and against its liea'thf ulness have generally Vbslded. It is admitted that canned goods are not necessarily uuhealthful per se, and their great convenience and comparative cheapness render them very popular. Moreover greater care is exercised by the canners than ever before, so that the real danger which attouded the use of goods put up in tin cans has been in a great measure eliminated. Nevertheless some caution should be exercised by con sumers. Decomposition in animal products otten develops poisonous alkaloids, like the tyrotoxicon winch is sometimes the came of illness to per sons eating milk products or cheese, aud cases of il!nes9 from eating canned goods are usually to be traced to this source. There is also an element of danger In salts that may be formed by the ac tion of the contents on the metal of the can. Both these sources of danger have been reduced to a minimum by improved methods of canning, but it is idle to deny that they exist, and they demand reasonable precaution in pur chasing and using canned eoods. There are oth-T objection', such as they are, to food in cans. It must be confessed that the operations to be witnessed in some, at least, of the osn ning factories are not such as to pre possess a sensitive stomach in favor of canned fruit, and the women and men who handle the fruit in i s various stages are not always so cleanlv in per son as ihey might be. Crood house keepers are cominir more and more into the habit of doing theirown fruit-canning, and this is much the better way on all accounts and not usually much, if any, more expensive. Good feeding is a very important agent in good breeding, but it takes quite a number of generations before anything like a new breed can be pro duced in addition to much wttchful cars. Corunon land plaster is rxctlleit as deodorizer about stables ami privies, or to keep manure piles from sending ont their odors. Colts should be used frequently while growing up, but always lightly until their strength inn nres. No con siderable weight should be placed on a cult's back nntil the spine is stiff and strong, or a hollow buck will be the result. Some dogs do excellent work at churuing, but a Chester Co., Pa., dog, after three years of steady work, re fused to churn any more, and allowed himself to be choked to death ra'her than work longer. He doubtless felt that some other dog should have ids day, and perhaps he was right. A New York dairyman, after ranch yerfuaslon. was induced to keep a tllk record of each cow, and on iom plny np found that only one-third of hi herd (one rtw n three) wu pay ing expenses. Thereupon he "reor ganized" that herd in a harry, and it now aatisfied that a record is a aafr tiling. Habit has a great deal to do with the methods in vogue for dairying and ock f.-eding. Before people wen habituated to the nee of table forks il I was deemed "sinful" in aome quarte-t to use them just as some benighted t. nnstian objected once to fiddles and organs in church choirs. This fact it recorded in the American Cyclopedia. Some people even yet deem it almost sinful to stable a cow summer and winter, think ng that she needs to light flies in summer in the sun, and thai northwest winds and snowstorms in crease the flow of milk in winter. One who has tested the yield of milk from a cow fed with nice trreen. earl. cut hay, and then with hay over ripe, coarse and brittle, says that the former was worth to him $7 a ton more than the latter. But some farmers will not believe it in spite of a dozen tests. A good m Ik record will tell far more ol cow's merits than a study ot her escutcheon. HOUSEHOLD. I!f CANNING TIME. In canning fruits it should be remem bered that the "Xoeiiiuf" property lies not in the sugar nsed. as in preserves, but in having the jar perfectly air tight. Indeed, in the writer's family, pieplant and a pies are often put up without any sugar whatever, the sweet ening being adde I when needed, and do most excellently for pies and turte throughout tbe winter. Since, then, so much deoends npon the can, a well known and tried make of glass jars shoni.l be selected, and when saved from year to year care should be taken n..t to mi the tops or rubber rings, for tlios that fit one will not always fi another. The process here given of cooking in the jars is a gt eat improvement oo the old method of canning and wdl produce much finer looking fruit, while the (.mount of sngur required for each qunrt ar lias been redncoil, by a house-1 wifely writer, to the convenient tabid' giteu below: For strawberries, 13 ounces. For raspbe rries. (5 ounces. For huckleberries, fi ounces. For cherries, 8 ounces. For quinces, 12 ounces. For peaches, 0 cunc.es. For llarilett pears, 8 ounces. For pinespplcs, 8 ounces. For plums, 10 ounces. For currants, 10 ounces. For crab-apples. 10 ounces. Small strawherr'es seem to be bcttet for canning, but all other berries should b lurire and Arm. Cherries are canned with the pits in, as the pungent kernel ud.'s much to the flavor. Pineapplci aro peeled, the "eyes" carefully picked our, ana lueu sureaaed with a silvei fork or else cut into small, square dica hen pears aro not too large to pass through the Deck of the jar they art handsomer canned whole. With some ol the st ins leit on, but if of goodlv size, pare and cut in halves, but do not re move the seeds. Peaches are usually pared, halved and pitted; but the writer has eaten very delicious amni; ones put np whole, with the stones left in. Quinces must be pared, quartered and core I. When all is in readiness and the jars tedeil liy tilling with Witer, covering aud turning upside down to see that no moisture oozes out, drop the fruit care fully into the cans, gently shaking so lis to till the interstices closely. Next find the amount of sugar required for each qnart and nse as many times this qiiiiutity as you have cans of fruit Melt this in a saucepan over the fire, with just enough boiling water to dis solve it. and when slightly cooled di vide it among the jars, a teaspoonful at a time. It there is not snllicieut svrnn eacu one to tne ton, add Hike warm water up to the brim, and screw or "lock on the covers rather loosely. Now have ready a Bp cious kettle or wash boiler, in the bottom of which has lcu laid a thick, soft cloth, and in this set the jars; fill with warm (not hot) water up to within an iuch of the top of the cans, aud place the whole on the stove to boil, jl'o not sot directly over a very hot tiro however, or the jars may crack, and the object ia to slowly ! run the fruit After the water bub les allow it to boil for ten minutes, then remove the top of one can, and pierce the fruit with a steel fork. I' oft it is cooked sufficiently. Ten minutes is generally long enough for berries, but jieara, apples and quinces take longer, according to their solidity, and therefore the exact time must be left to the judgment of each canner. When sure that the fruit is done set the kettle to one side and, wrapping the hand in a towel, lift ont the jars: remove the envera ami fill with boiling water until they are over flowing, after which adjust the tops as quickly as possible, i-erew on securely, aud iuvert to be sure they are perfectly air-tignt. Shonld any juice ooze out alter the can is cool, tlie only remedy is to turn the coutents into a saucepan and boil acoording to the old-fashioned method; but tnis will rarely happen i' directions are followed minutely. Screw topsshou'd always b; fastened with a wrench. Keep iu a cool, dry, dark dace, and id. ays open canned fruit a few hours before it is to be used, as tne oxygen in the air restores any flavor it may have lost bv being con tiue.l so long, if a jar d'oos not open easily never ruin it by trying to pry off the top with a knife. Instead, im merse it, top downward, in wateras hot as you e n bear your finger, after which the cover will generally turn readily. Agriculturist.

AMARYLLIS. Closely allied to the lilies are the amarylliils, wiio.se showy aud attractive flowers make them so desirable for pot culture. Ihe bulbs shonld be potted in rich, sandy loam aud reqnire much moisture while growing. Their periods of rest and growth are strangely mark ed, and, alter the blooming season is over, the foliage also ripens off and the bulb must have entire r st. In repotting, care should he taken that the built is not entirely covered, the npper third should appear above the surface. Ihe soil should be rich aud well-: manured, and the plant should be occasionally watered with liquid m mure during the growing and flower ing season when it will throw up tall flower stalks crowned with rich lily-like blossoms. There are several species: Aniaryllit Johiisoni is one of the most elegant, with large crimson flowers striucd with white. A. Formis.sisima (Jacobean lily) has rich, dark crimson bloasoms. Fquestre is of a sparkling orange red with centre star of green anil white. To the amarylllds also belong the Zepyranthes mid Cooper ia spoken of in our last nnmlier.

The early cluck has always been a bete uoir to the gardener, but a cor respondent of A-rKrt triti J-'toicrm, gives somo original methods of her own for circumventing the nuisance, as lollowa: 1 wish to say to my sisters who need to keep the chickens near tho house, that I have been obliged to invent some original method of preventing their scratching everything to pieces. First ly, I try to do my weeding just before a shower, and if the shower goes around and fails to wet the bed, 1 try to have it thoroughly wet or else cover ed with brush. See-on lly, if 1 wish to trans Lint anything 1 wish to be sure to give, 1 take three or more stones off the rustic stone-pile the children have gathered from time to ti ne, and phue them very close to tiie t-m over the newly stirred dirt Last Summer I was so afraid they would pull or scratch np my Swanloy White Violet, 1 pnt a broken pane of glass over it, on the stones, and if tho chd dren saw the sun was s lining too hot on the glass they put some green leaves over it in the middle of the day. Thirdly, when 1 want to have a miall bod, like my Pansy lied, for F'all plan'ing, I bad the boys saw a bunch sf four feet lath iu three pieces and drive them down no as to be firm, so near together that even a good-sized 3hiok could not g. between them, then I conld weed or transplant to my heart's content, for hens will not go over pickets if ever so low.
