ABOUT THE FAEM. lints for Farmers rid Busj Housewives to Appreciate. Ia our experience the late crop of white turnips generally does better among potatoes than among corn. So soon at potato tops die the turnip bare all the toil from which to draw, and they are rather benefited by the tirring of the soil required in digging potatoes by hand. If a borse potato digger is used, no turnips can be grown, as the digger necessarily up turns the entire soil, including turnips or whatever else may be growing on it. Tn all Northern climates orchards do best when plunted on soil with a good deal of vegetable matter. This is more apt to be a moist soil, and moisture prevents the deep freezing that so often destroys trees when they get into bear ing. These kinds of soils are usually low and sheltered from winds, another great advantage when the country is denuded of original forests. What ia the use of growing fruit on hillsides, to have it blowu oil' as it begins to ripen. Many farmers think that August and September are the proper months to sow rye. Sown at these times it gives cuttings for soiling in the fall. If sowing has been neglected, it is re garded by some good farmers as an advantage to sow rye in the fall, even as late as November, or as long as the ground can be worked. The grain sown thus late does not sprout in the full, but starts very early in spring, and the crop is much earlier than from any spring sown seed. The Dixie Faruier says: The pos.-ii ble products of a ton of cotton seed are twenty pounds of lint, $1; 880 pounds of hulls, 68 cents; 400 pounds of oil, $21.23; 700 pounds of cake, $8.89; total, 32. The most improved mills get all the lint and all the hulls but are able to get only 800 pouuds of oil, worth $11, and 800 pounds of cuke or meal, worth $7.L'0, giving a yield to the mill of $23.08. The seed costs 10 a ton, leaving a prollt to the mill, less expenses, of $13.08. In passing any piece of sowed corn late iu the growing season, it is easy to see wliat will and n hut will not make good feed. That which has been thickly sown, especially on poor soil, is a light yellow color, tasteless, and nearly void of nutritive value. That sown in drills and cultivated once or twice, is large, thick-stemmed and dark green in color. Taste it p.ni you flud the sweetness that with k little more room and time would be trans formed into the starch of the perfected grain. The acreage of rye is otemlily on the decline in all Europe. In England it has almost entirely disappeared. In Belgium it has lost much ground. In Germany and Russia it only holds its own on the poorer lands, while iu the other countries of Europe it is greatly decreasing in importance. In France the same marked diminution is to be noticed. Barley is also on the decline. But oats are steadily increasing in im portance, and are taking the land that was formerly given over to rye and barley. Prof. E. W. Stewart tells the readei. of the Country Gentleman how to ren ovate old animals. He says: '-Cut clover hay short, say half an inch; take cheap molasses and dissolve one pint in one gallon of water and sprinkle this upon lliree ounds of the cut clover with two pounds of buckwheat flour and two pounds of wheat bran. Feed this amount to each horse or ani mal three times a dav, commencing with a little less per day for two days.' Marvelous results are claimed for such feeding. 1 Ue best tune to prune apple trees depends largely on the manner in which it is performed. If the super uuoua growm is Kept rutiDeU or pinched off as it appears, it may be done all through the growing season. Where it is necessary to remove larger growth, the best time is lato in win ter or very early In spring, before the buds begin to swell. Keep down or cut away all water sprouts, and thin out the top of the tree, so as to leave ao open head, which the air and light can penetrate. Hogs are comparatively few in Hon duras, although fresh pork sells for 12 1-2 cents pr pound and lard for 20 oents per pound. This country af fords a considerable market for the hog products of the United States. i , ... . , ... """i wiu nugur-cureu nams sell in Tegucigalpa for 75 cents per pound. The climate and pasturage of Hon duras are both favorable to the pro duction of pork, mutton, and beef, an.' the government now oilers large in ducements to American capitalists to tablish ranches and abattoirs. Will potatoes and such vegetables mix?" Well, this depends. They do mix very frequently in the bankets while different varieties are being dug, and oftener still in tire cellars, w hen those from one bin get into the ad joining one; but in the field, where different varieties are growing along side of each other, it js simply im possible for them to get mixed. The only way in which different varieties can become "mixed" (crossed) is by fertilizing a variety with tha pollen of another, and from the seed thus produced new varieties are frequently raised, with possibly some of the aharacteristics of both parents. . Grape growing is in this country frctin its infancy. We believe the ISgiO will come when si ccessf ul grape growen will build orer the treUTsea I alight protection, if only four or fire feet in -width, to shelter the grapei from rains and heary dews. Vinei thus protected from too much moisture would not be able to mildew or the grapes to rot, or at least, these dis eases, now so prevalent, could be kepi off at much less expense than nndei the present system. Under such s cover grapes would ripen one or two weeks earlier than if unprotected. Sreen pickles will keep perfectly in itrong brine. No water is needed merely place a layer of cucumbers 01 other vegetables in the bottom of a cask or Jar, and cover them with salt. Suc cessive layers of the vegetables and salt are added from time to time until the vessel is filled. The juice of the vegetable will draw out and with the dissolving salt will form a brine. A board with a few holes bored in it and loaded with a heavy stone, must be kept on top of the pickles to hold , them down If they float and come n contact with the air, speedy decav .follows. Moss litter and sawdust are becom inir so irenerally used for stabling iu England that many of the Lancashire and Chester farmers are unable to sell their straw. They recently held meeting to consider this subject, al which it was admitted that is the pres ent state of ailairs continue, straw will be selling at five dollars a ton before the end of next year. Certain land- ! lorda and corporations have found it profitable to buy the moss litter and sell their straw, which still further adds to the glut. The farmers have agreed not to buy any manures except where straw was used for bedding. There is no sweeter or more nutri tious herbage for anv kind of stock than white clover. It is hardy, too, and on much laud comes in from seed lying in the ground without sowing. This is what some farmers mean by saying that clover is "natural" to cer tain sous, inpy are usually such as either from negligence or failure of seed do not get a catch of other grass es. We suspect that these natural white clover soils are growing scarcer as farming improves. Drinking the whole milk makes fine fat calves, but calves raised on skim- milk and oatmeal and bran, if not so sleek at eight months old, hud a better start in bone and muscle, and beat the pampered calf at two years of age. It is a waste of cash product to feed calf whole milk after its rennet stomach changes so as to call for solid food, and it is a mistake to so feed it after it is ten days old. Warm skim milk and a little oatmeal are much better. Farm Notes. Hub off the sprouts from the fruit ees before they get tough. Late cultivation iu the orchard should he avoided as time must be given for 'he trees to mature their wool. Poultry manure is one of the best materials that can be used to enrich the strawberry bed. Scatter evenly and work well into the surface. Cut straw, fodder or bagasse make a good mulch for plants of all kinds. l hey need not to be out shorter than two inches when used for this purpose. One of the most difficult weeds In the garden to eradicate is pussallne. After a good shower it can be pulled up readily, and this is a good way of killing it out. Often when the fall apples cannot be marketed to a good advantage they can be worked up Into cider vinegar with profit. But sound fruit should be used. Feed the refuse to stock. Flowers, shrubs, evergreens and ornamental trees are necessary to make a nice-appearing yard, as well as a good stand of grass. The best effect is produced by a combination of these Many make a mistake in selecting trees and get them too large. A small tree w ith plenty of roots will invaria bly make a good tree quicker than a arger one with mutilated roots, while Jie cost will be less in every way. All things considered, the growing f strawberries in matted rows for tield cultivation is t' V-st: In the trar- leu wlion only a o.nall number of plants are grown drill culture may be followed. The advantage iu matted rows is that the cultivation can be given with the cultivator. Black and raspberries, currants and gooseberries, should be grown in row .- o that the cultivation can be princi pally done with the cultivator, and the plants of the first two varieties be allowed to grow between the first row out so as to form a hedge. The cherry, apricot, peach and nec tarine requires light, dry soil. The plum does the best onrotten, stiff clay loam. And the apple, pear and peach thrive best on what may be termed a sandy loam. With all fruits a supply of potash in an available form is neceav sary. Before investigating too largely in the growing of fruit for market see that a reasonably good market can be secured conveniently. The cost of sending a considerable distance to mar ket looses the profit that otherwise might be possiole. The poLies of Manlnnr.

Dishes of Bacon. There area great many delicious rays of cooking baoon. The simplest iray is to out it in thin slices and crisp it in close little rolls, but there is a cer tain art in all this that is not always lasy to learn. Three things are essen tial tosncoeps with this simplest dish. The bacon mnst be icy cold. It mnst be cut in wafer-like slices with a very iharp knife, and, lastly, the pan in which it fries must be heated very hot. The instant the sliops of bacon tonch the pan they should crisp into rolls; toss them about for a moment or two nd they are done. They must be slight ly brown, but never hard. These little rol s of baoon are delicious served with Fried scallops or oysters, and almost tny dish of fried fish or egga. They ire more frequently seen, however, in the familiar dish of "calves' liver and bacon." In the hitter o sa the liver is toaked twenty or twenty-hve minutes in cold water, drained anil cut in thin dices and fried rather slowly in the bacon fat left in the pan after cooking the baoon. A very gnoa way of je parmg baoon for breakfast is to cut in moderately thin slices, lay it in soak in milk enough to cover it for fifteen or twenty minutes, then drain the shces sat, reserving the milk for the bream lance to cover it. Dip each slice in flour and lay it in a hot pan that has been grease I with a bacon rind. Toss the slices of bacon about in the pan till they are brown ou I oth sides, then take them up on brown paper to absorb my grease on the outside of them and dip th m on a hot platter. Pour out most of the grease in the pan the bacon was eooked in, leaving about a tahle ipoonful for two cups of milk; beat a teaspoonful of flour into evei y enp of milk which was used to soak the bacon and turn this mixture into the pan. Stir the milk till it boils, and for a moment after, and turn jt over the bacon. An easy wav of preparing baoon to lerve with a dish of fried meat or fish is to broil it over a clear fire for two minutes on each side. When grease Irops into the fire in broiling lift the broiler up to avoid the smoky taste the bacon will have if this precaution is not observed. As cold sweets are always welcome during the hot summer days, I shall give recipes for some in due hope that lome may be new to my readers. New puddings are usually wecome, as one tires sooner of them than anything else, tnd so one longs for variety. Devonshire Junket. Put one qnart at luke-warm sweet milk (the richer the better) into a punch bowl, or a 3rystal one, add sugar to taste, and a few drops of brandy or any flavoring, and t dessertspoonful of rennet. Leave it in a cool place to "set" or "curd," when it will be ready. Send to table iu the bowl, with little lumps of whipped cream on the top, and serve with cream. In old times onr mothers used to keep a rennet in the house to use in making junket; but now it can be bought in a liquid form put up in imall bottles. Ifaiicooks. Beat three eggs very light; beat their weight in sugar and butter to a cream; add the same weight in flour gradually, and lastly, beat in the epgs and a little ot any flavoring; half fill buttered dariole tins with the mixture, and bake in a quick oven. When cold, scoop out a little hollow on the top of each and fill with whipped sream and few pistachio nuts chopped ncl sprinkled on the top, or else nil with any preserve and sprinkle al monds or ooooanut on the top. They :an also be served simply glazed over witn any preserve, such as apricot, and a thin custard poured round them in the dish. Chocolate Pudding. Soak a third of an onnoe of gelatine in a little milk. Dis- tolve four ounces of vanilla chocolate in a pint and a half of milk, and boi: in a olean pan for ten minutes, stirring til the time; flavor with a very little vanilla essence, and sag r to taste: put into a jug to cool. Put the soaked gelatine in a pan and dissolve it; let it also cool, then add it to the choco late and mix we L Pour, when almost sold, into a mould previously wet w th water. When set, turn out and serve with whipped crea u around it. This pudding should be made the dny be fore it is required. If like J, a cup of strong coffee oan be use . in tuuee of chocolate, and is very refreshing. Orange Fool.

To three volks nd one white of etra, beaten, put a pint and a half of miik whioh has been boiled with an ounce and a half of gela tine and three ounces of sugar; return all to the fire in a jug set in a pan of water, to thicken; add to it a small tin of grated pinea pie. and pour into a wet mould to set Turn out the next iay. ExDtllina Plies frim Room. It is stated that if two and a half poun ls of powdered laurel-leaves are macerated or boiled in two g dlons of water, unt il their poisonous Quality is extracted. and with the solution a whitewash is made, by adding as much quiok-limeas can be slacked in it, and if a room be whitewashed with this preparation, fl es will not settle on tne walls for six months. It is also asserted that it paste, made by stirring together one pint of the powdered laurel-leaves with one-fourth pint of glycerine, be ap plied to windows and door oasimrs. a room so prepared will soon be emptied of flies. Two applications of this paste are said to be enough even to keep a kitchen clear of insects for a fortnight. There is nothing disagreeable or dele terious to human brings in the odor of the wash or taste, though laurel-leaves or laurel-water, taken into tue stomach, set as a violent poison.

A table .poonful of flour sifted into a bowl, irith a tiny pinch of salt, and a tnmb er of sweet mils poured on and mixed n gradually so that it will not be .umpy, is one of the very best reme lies for diarrhoea, and is nourishing as irell as healing. A pint of hot (not boiled) milk taAen ilowly every four hours will often sheck a violent dysentery. In nearly all eases of fever milk is lot only allowed, bnt recommended by ,he physician: "It keeps up the itrength of the patient, soothes the in .es'ines and promotes sleep," When 1 see people who have large families tending out to the milkman a any pitcher for two or three cents' a-orth of milk, I always think tuat nust be an unhealthy family. I know t is hard TO KEEP MILK SWEET in hot weather; but if it is properly :ared for there will be no trouble. When the tullk comes it should be put tn a double boiler and scalded. If yon have no double boiler, rinse a sauce pan with cold water, but do not wipe it, pour in the milk and set it where it will got hot as soon as possible; as soon is a skin forms on the surface it is done. Pour it in a large pitcher or bowl and set it in a pan of water to I'ool, or fill self-sealing jars, which have been heated, screw on the tops mil set them in a cool, dark closet. .Milk intended for a baby's use if kept in a pitcher should be scalded again at uiKht.

A Mlsslna Chinese Bride An amusing story concerning the adventures of a Chinese bride is told in be Hapao, a native paper. In China, it seems, a bride usually ri.les in a rich ly embroidered red satin chair, decor ated with flowers, hired for the occa sion. Lately in Uanton city a man hired a chair to carry the bride to bis homestead in the suburbs. The dis tance was great and the hour was lute. When the four chair coolies and the lantern-bearers arrived at their destin ation, the chair containing the bride was deposited outside the doorway to await the auspicious hour selected for opening the door to admit the bride. and the crowd adjourned to an opium den to pass an honr. The chair-bearers tell asleep, and how long they dozed they know not, but on awaking they returned and found the biidal chair -till outside the doorway. They came to the natural conclusion that the bride bad already entered the household. tnd that the chair was left for them to take I ack to the city. Accordingly they hurried home with it, put it in the loft, and went to bed. In the meantime the bridegroom heard the bridal party arrive, but had to wait the stroke of midnight before welcoming the bride. At last the candles were lit. incense sticks were ignited, the new rice and viands for entertaining the bride were served, the parents-in-law .ut on their best suits, and so did the bridegroom; and with much pomp and ceremony the door was thrown wide oten, but there was not a trace of the bridal chair seen. Oreat was their consternation, and it became greater still when they concluded that bandits mnst have kidnapped the bride and field her for rai som. The police were informed, and search parties were sent out in every direction. The bride groom, mougn fliBtracted had sense enough to rush to the city and make inquiries of the chair bearers. The coolies were dumbfounded, and ex plained what they had done. Together they climed to the loft, opened the door of the ohxir, and found the demure-looking bride, long imprisoned nd half-s arved, but still appearing to uer bet advantage in her beautiful iiridid gown. The bride appeared to have known that she was being carried orth and back, but oould not nroteat. hecanse it is the custom for I rides not to open their mouths till the marriage ceremony is performed. Hence all the trouble. An Editor's Good Work. An unnamed citizen of Xew York who is, however, known to be Mr. loseph Pulitzer, the proprietor of the .Vorld has founded sixty permanent collegiate scholarships for yoor boys it the public schools of that city. Twelve boys who have completed the 'iatnmar-9chool course will be selected ;ach year, and to each of them is to be iiven a scholarship of $250 a year for .1ve years, thus making the cost to the lonor, when all the scholarships shall :iave been assigned, $15,000 a year, dr. Pulitzer believes that education is n aid to advancement in any country, nd that some of the poor should have ; chance as well as the rich.

How many people know that among the Bedouin Arabs respect for women is so great that at her command the cimeter uplifted to strike must fall harmless. A murderer or a thief can not be touched if he is under the pro tection of a woman and the right of their power to pardon is recognized so completely that in some tribes, where the women never appear before the men and have their own separate tents, the thief who is being pursued can save himself by getting close to the tent and calling out: 'I am nnder the protec tion of a harem !'' As this is very loudly said the women hear it and they call out together: "Fly from him!" And that man, even if he has been con demned to death by the the prince himself, is pardoned at once and can go at large.

She was a very pretty girl, 6ays the writer of "Undertones" iu the San Francisco Chronicle. At least he says, so, and I never contradict a man in what he says about the girl he is in love w ith. Why shouldn't they all be pretty? Some of them are poor and need prettiuess. Some of them are rich aud can get on without it, but Ht ill tell them they are pretty. Even if they know you are telling what you know is not the truth, they'll forgive the lie aud admire the liar. He was a simple officer of marines. He loved, but he was young, and he calculated on having some fun before he got married bo he loved, with a reservation. He had made an appointment to go to the theatre with her and her married sister, and when the time came a brother officer was taken sick and he had to go on duly in his place. He called a colored servant, faithful and true. He could not write a note so he sent a message. "You tell the lady," he said, "thai something has happened and I can't join them at the theatre. I am awfully sorry, but can you remember some thing and repeat it for me?" "Yes, massa." "Well, you can say this: 'Though 'ost to sight, to irsmory dear.'" "Yes, massa." Tho darkey went his way and ar rived in the presence of the ladies he made this statement: "Massa's awful sorry he can't go to the theatre this evening. Somttiu' dreflul has happened, and he's lost his sight, but his memory's clear." A. Joking Woman. "Now you say that you have always been a loving and faithful w ife and that your husband has no cause for complaint, do you?" asked a lawyer of an Indiana woman opposing her hus band's petition for a divorce. "Ye9, sir: I do say that very tiling," was the reply. "You never threw sticks of wood at him, or hot water over him, did you?" "Oh, I don't know but I may have done that once or twice in a playful way." "Oh, you did? And were you joking when you chased him all over the house with a red hot poker?" "Yes, I was; and he knows it too." "Didn't you sew him up in the bed clothes one night and pound him with a club!" "Veil, now the idea of a man trying to get a divorcement from his own lovin' wife for a little joke like that!" "Oh, so that was a ioke. too. eh? Vas it intended for a joke when you knoi kea him down cellar and threw three flat-irons after him!" "Of course it was. I alwavs w k joky kind of a woman." "I should say so. You thought ;t j"ke when you locked him out of the house with the thermometer below zero and ho had to sleeo in tho i,. roost. That was a joke, ch?" "1 shaw, now I . He's iron.. n.l iA rm of that little caper of mine, has he? Veil, he never could take a joke, "A few more of your jokes would have killed him."
