USE GOOD JUDGMENT. A rainy or a drouthy spell will alarm tome men and drive away their good judgment, and they will plant or sow or harvest before the proper time. Grain cut too early may mold. Hay mt too early is less in quantity. Ground plowed too wet is cloddy, the animal weaned or bred too earl/ is stunted.—American Agriculturist. PEAFOWLS. Peafowl are not only ornamental, hut excellent for the table. A writer in the Fancier's Monthly says conceming them: They are slow in reaching maturity, and the hen seldom lays before she is two years old. The chicks, however, grow very rapidly at first, but as they begin to feather almost at the start of life they require f-equcnt feeding or they will perish. They soon begin to fly, and roost on the highest positions they can find. The hens lay from ten to twenty eggs, according to age and treatment. The young chicks should be fed the same as young turkeys, but meat, finely chopped, should be given three times a week after the first week. The male is a quarrelsome bird in the barn yard, and often makes short work of young chicks. They are more ornamental than profit able, though the tail feathers may be pulled for sale as soon as the moulting season begins. PREPARING LAND FOR WIIEAT. After plowing thoroughly it is very important to have land intended to be sown to fall wheat that it be prepared in as good condition as possible. The soil to the depth of three or four inches should be in fine tilth as a seed bed for the wheat, and underneath this the bed should be reasonably solid. The kind of implement needed to properly fit the soil for the seed must be largely deter mined by the character of the soil and its conditions. When early, and it is in a proper state, a good smoothing har row is all that will be needed to properly fine it. Afterwards, however, before the plowing can be done the soil gets hard and may break up in hard lumps, and the drag may be used to properly level and fine. Again, hard, beating rains after plowing will often run the soil to gether, and the hot sun will cause it to bake, and in this condition, in the ma jority of cases, it be best to use the disc harrow. What will be best at one time or in one kind of soil will not be the most economical under other conditions and, for this reason, the character of the seil and the kind of work to be done must always be consideted. The one im portant item is to be sure of working enough, aid then to use the implement that will do the work most thoroughly and economically. With nearly all va rieties of seeds, the more thorough the preparation of the soil, the better and thriftier tho germination of the seed, and the better the start to grow of the plants.—Prairie Farmer. BAD FLAVORS IN BUTTEK. If you want the cows to yield perfect flavored milk do not let them cat leeks, fungus growths, or any noxious vegeta tions. This implies that you must have a clean pasture, which should be a part and parcel of every dairy farm. Some cows develop a morbid appetite, generally those that are ill fed, and they will eat with avidity refuse and foul growths that have a most deleterious effect on the quality of the milk. We [ have known cows to give tainted milk , day after day of so rank a character that aeration had but little effect upon the ! odor, and the butter made therefrom was practically uneatable. Continued investigation for a long time failed to reveal the cause, until it was at last dis covered that some of the cows had been eating poisonous varieties of mush rooms, commonly known as "toad stools," which grew abundantly about some old decayed stumps in the pasture. At soon as the cause was removed the milk resumed its normal character. It amounts to one and the same thing to give unhealthy food to milch cows, or to place it in a modified form on your table for your family's use. Bad food given to a cow in milk will surely im press its bad character upon l*er lacteal secretion. Damaged food tuincd into beef may not be so quickly aud thor oughly transmitted to the human stomach as in the case of milk, for the slower process of nutrition in the animal tissues gives time for considerable of de leterious matter to be eliminated by the processes of nature before the meat be comes human food. With milk the case is practically of the same character as the feed. An after aeration of the fluid cannot expel disease germs and microbes absorbed from an unhealthy appetite. Prevention is the only cure for bad flavor and worse re sults, in milk affected in the way de scribed.—American Dairyman. FIGHTING NOXIOUS INSECTS. Time has come for an active discus sion of the means for preventing the great increase in number and varieties of pernicious insects. These have become an intolerable burden upon farmers, and the losses by them far surpass the total of those which have been suffered by animal diseases. And yef there has been for years a special department of the Agricultural Bureau for the suppression of diseases among animals. Laws have been enacted in all the States for the protection of live stock from disease spread by careless persons. But-nothing has been done in regard to the spread of noxious iinects from farm to farm in the manner of a pesti lence, and encouraged by thoughtless and careless neighbors, who breed myriads of the pests in their fields or gardens, and permit them to scatter abroad with<nit compunction. The in jury done is enormous, and unless some effective remedy is applied very soon the burden will become too heavy to be borne. Jusrrbow Jhe striped potato beetle may be seen leaving the early potato fields where the crop has been gathered and swarming over the roads aud fences to the fields which have been cleared already of repeated swarms of the pests at large expeuse. And now the stock is renewed by persons who have themselves takon but very inadequate pains to de stroy the insects on tha'j own fields and now are stocking fields of their neigh bors. This is a crime, and with other related offenses calls for effective remedy by law. There is a certain remedy for these pests and a cheap one. This is spraying the plants and trees with well known preparations which kill the insects. It has been proved effective, and the use of it should be enforced by law. A begin ning has been made in the State of New York, where penalties are provided for neglect to destroy the fungus which pro duces tho black knot in cherry and plum trees, by no means nearly so costly a pest as many others that might be men tioned. What is most needed, howover, is the public sentiment which would in duce all concerned to take the necessary measures to keep their own premises free from pests of all kinds, and when this is once aroused effectively there will be an end of the trouble.—New York Times. SAVING MANURE. Manure lies at the root of successful husbandry in all of the oiler States. The virgin prairie soils of the green West arc fast becoming impoverished, under the influence of remorseless crop ping, unattended by any adequate return of fertility. Therefore it is merely a question of time when the Western farmer is destined to find himself in the same straits, regarding the use of man ure, as his Eastern contemporary. Largo crops everywhere require liberal fertiliza tion. Every farmer must, to be suc cessful, make all the manure possible frcm his domestic animals, and preserve it in as perfect a condition as may be, until it can be applied to the ground. Scattered here aud there over the hill sides, and among the valleys of New England, there still remain many of the oldtirae cow barns, though the hands of their builders have long been dust. One can scarcely drive through tho country, in any direction without seeing one or more of these ancient structures, the chief inconvenience of which, from a modern point of view, consists in the absence of convenient pits in which manure may be stored. The dung, as fast as made, is thrown through windows or openings behind the cows, where it accumulates in heaps, against the build ings. Here it is exposed to the wasting effects of rain and sun, frost and heat. The sites of these barns being usually somewhat elevated, it is not unusual, after a shower, to see a stream of dark fluid, charged with fertility, flowing into some brook or swamp, where it is for ever lost to the purpose of agriculture. What makes it worse is that the urine and more soluable portions of the manure (which, from the very reason of their solubility, are most valuable) are soonest wasted by leaching. Manure managed in the above manner loses at least one-half its value. Now, with very little labor and expense, all this waste may be avoided. First, remove the soil to the depth of two feet from the entire surface, which the bottom of the manure pile is to cover, replacing it with some good dry absorbent, which will catch and hold all the liquids. Next construct a lean-to roof against the barn, sufficiently high and large enough to protect the manure. Any rough or second-hand boards are good enough for the purpose. These may be covered with cheap shingles, tin or anything water proof. The tlnn sheet iron, such as is used in making caustic soda casks, makes a tight and durable roof, and can usually be bought of soap manufacturers for a song. The manure, even wheu kept out of doors, tuny be kept practi cally without loss. Matters will be greatly facilitated if cows are always furnished with bedding sufficient to ab sorb the valuable materials in the urine. —American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It is better to prune in the fall than in the spring. Pears should never be allowed to be come eatable on the trees. There is no need of sending select fruit to market if it is not carefully packed. The fowls kept for breeding should be the best of the whole flock, carefully selected. It will never do any harm to cut off the dead wood or a crossing limb of a fruit tree. After pear trees have arrived at the bearing age, there should be but very little trimming done. Hay and fruit cannot be very well grown on the same land, and especially is this true in the case with apples. It is better to prevent the growth that you do not want than it is to wait until the wood is made and then cut it off. Cochins, Brahmas, Wyandottes, Leg horns and Dominiques all have yellow legs, which is an advantage in a market fowl. Late hatched pullets should be pushed to maturity. Uuless well ma tured before cold weather pullets will not lay until spring. Turkeys are in their glory now, and they secure plenty of insects while torag ing. The farmor caunot realize the good they do in this way. It very frequently happens that eggs are soiled when collected. Wash thetn before marketing, aud the chances are that a better price will be obtained. Good butter will always bring a good ptice. If farmers would only think of quality instead of quantity, they would be able to make more profit from the cows. After the moulting season begins prices arc generally low, for tho reason that the hens quit laying and are sent to market on this account. Often by wait -1 ing until the rush is over better prices may be realized. The cultivation of a crop of beets is not difficult after the plants get a good start. The most critical period is wheu i the seed is germinating and the plants : very small, as the weeds and grass may I take possession, but with extra care and labor for a few weeks the difficulties will i be but few Inter on. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. AN EGG CABINET. The egg cabinet is a novelty !n tbs house furnishing line. In order to have fresh eggs the greatest can* must be ex ercised in keeping them in such a way that plenty of air circulates about them, and the cabinet in question seems to fill the bill to a nicety. It is made of wood, the front, the back and sides consisting of smail round sticks set an inch apart so as to give a perfect and thorough cir culation of air on all sides. The inte rior is fitted with trays, pierced with round holes, into which the eggs fit se curely. The top of the cabinet is fitted up with a beaded edge and ornamental centre piece, and, with the other por tions painted and striped in various de signs, proves not only useful, but rather ornamental.—New York World. DIGESTIBILITY OF PISH. The red blooded fish, such, for in stance, as salmon, herring and mackerel, are highly nutritious but not easily digosted, partly because of the amount of fat distributed through the flesh. White fish, such as cod, haddock, tur bot, halibut, and flonnder, contain com paratively little fat, and that mostly in the liver. They are easy of digestion and posseas a delicate flavor. When in season and just from their native element they are delicious and make excellent food for the sick on account of this ease of digestion. When Fish Are In Season—Cod, all the year; haddock, all the year; cusk, win ter; halibut, all the year; flounders, all the year; salmon, May to September; shad, spring; blueflsb, June to October; whitefish, winter; swordfiih, July to September; smelts, September to March; perch, spring and summer; mackerel, April to October; oysters, September to May; clams, all the year. How to Broil Fish —Small fish such as perch aud scrod (young cod) are excel lent broiled. After the fish is cleaned, washed and wiped, split it lengthwise if it is thick, sprinkle on salt and pep per, squeeze over it some drops of lemon juice, dip it in melted butter and broil over clear coals, quickly at first and then very slowly, allowing ten minutes for each inch of thickness. Serve with but ter cream. To Make Butter Cream—Cream some butter in a bowl, season it with salt, cayenne, lemon juice and vinegar. A teasponful of butter is enough for an ordinary small fish such as a perch, and to season it a speck of cayenne, a speck of salt and half a teaspoonful each of vinegar and lemon juice will be good proportions. Spread it on the fi»h to melt and run over it or serve separately in a little ball on a glass butter plate. A nice addition to the butter is a little finely minced parsley or chopped pickles, such as cucumbers or olive 3, or the three mixed if they are at hand. Creamed Fish—To make creamed Gsh, any white fish which flakes easily iniy be used. Cusk, cod and haddock are especially recommended. Cook the fish fifteen or twenty minutes by gentle boil ing, theu remove the flesh carefully from the bones, letting it separate lightly into flakes; season with pepper and salt aud a few drops of lemon juice. For every pint of prepared fish make a rich creatn sauce with four tablespoons of butter, two of flour and a piut of rich milk in which a small slice of onion has been boiled. Pour it over the seasoned fish, rolling all together gently, so that the flakes may not be broken. Arrange on a platter, sprinkle tho top with buttered crumbs and bake in a hot oven twenty or thirty minutes. A speck of cayenne is a good addition to make to the sauce. This is a delicious and wholesome way of cooking fish for the sick. The butter is so thoroughly incorporated with the flour of the sauce that it becomes one of the few very easily digested forms of cooked fat.—Chicago News. RECIPES. Rice Cakes—To one teacup of soft boiled rice add a pinch of salt, the yolk of an egg, two tablespoons ol flour, aud enough sweet cresm or milk to make it the consistency of spouge cake; wheu ready for the ovon stir in the well-beaten white of one egg. Bake in muffin rings. Balloon Muffins—Take one pint of flour, half a piut of water and half a pint of milk; beat thoroughly with an egg beater; have gem irons hot, grease aud fill them two-thirds full. B:»ke in a quick oven twenty minutes, or until light and browned. Use no salt or baking powder. Ham Omelet—Beat halt a dozen eggs separately, very light. Have ready a spider with three tablespoons of hot but ter and then pour in the eggs. Let them brown on the bottom and on top, then spread over it a cup of finely chopped ham; fold the omelet over, take up and serve immediately. Canned Peaches—Make a syrup of one quart of water and one pound of granu lated sugar, skim. Pare and halve enough peaches for one can, droppiug each half at once into cold water to pro vent discoloration. Drain the peaches, drop them into the syrup and boil slowly till they can be easily piereed with a silver fork. Lift each piece carelully and putin tho can, then fill it quickly with the hot syrup and seal. Enough peache3 can be prepared aud dropped into water for a second can while those for the first one are cooking. Delicious Peach Pudding—Fill a pud ding dish with whole peeled peaches and pour over them two cups of water. Cover closely .aud bake until the peaches are tender, after which drain the juice from them and let stand until cool. Add to the juice one pint of sweet milk, four well-beaten eggs, a small cup of flour with one teaspoonful of baking powder sifted into it, one cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter and a little salt. Beat woll for three or four minutes, then paur over the peaches. Bake until a rich brown and serve with cream. Baked Apple Dumpling—Pare and chop very fine half a dozen nice, large acid apples. Mix with this one and a half cups of sugar. Make a nice pastry, to which if there be added a small pinch of soda it will bo much better for tho dumpling; roll this quite thin and cut in four-inch squares; till these with tho chopped apples and sugar; close and stand in a baking bowl which holds about a gallon. Add a half teacup of butter; fill the bowl to the brim with boiling water, pouring it in carefully. Set in a hot oven and allow them to bake half an hour. When removed from the ovea add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla. These are deliciou>, eaten hot or cold. More sugar may be added if desired. Gray is the dignified color. Round waists are much worn.

The piano tuner who is a man has not learned from books. He has grown up with the piano as a boy in the fac tory and knows it at every stage. His ear is attuned to those fine differences that are essential to the best of sort of piano tunning, and his appreciation of them is almost like an instinct. To catch these he is always on the alert. Every sound detracts him, a child's cry, a bird's chirp. The constant wear and tear engenders nervous irritability; he becomes a bundle of nerves, and the dis tance from thence to crankiness is not lar. It is this strain on the nerves.rathor than the muscular strength required, that makes piano tuning a discouraging occupation for women. The muscular strength required in holding up the strings is considerable, but women could stand it much better. Another obstacle to women's success a 9 piano tuners is that they are not mechanics. A man tuning a piano is exacted to remedy the creaking pedal anil anything else amiss that cau be done without sending it to the shop. This his prev ious experience enables him to do. Al together it seems that women piano tuners could hardly compete with men, but in remote places might find their ervices valuable.—New York Sun. To Press Ferus. Place the fronds to be pressed smoothly, one by one, in the layers of newspaper, puttingat least three thicknesses of paper between the fronds. Arrange the latter with their points all the same way, for the pressure will sometimes leave the dent of the thicker part of the stack of one fern across the delicate tip of an other. Perns with especially coarse stems should be pressed in a pile by themselves for the same reason. The book covers or boards, with the pile of fern filled papers into them, shouid be placed under a heavy weight; the next day the ferns should be taken out, one by one, and placed in fresh papers with the same care as before. The papers first used cin be spread to dry, and again used for the next day's change. It will not be necessary then to change agniu for three or four days, and after that they may rest undisturbed for a week, or, still better, for two weeks. When taken out they should be kept in aflat pile till wanted for use, to prevent them from cutiing up.—Good House keeping. Foundation lor n Factory C'tty.
