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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A KEURO'SJ MEMORY.
This One Changed a Message About as
a Printer Would Have Ione.
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."
