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.

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

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.

Piano Tuners are All Nerrea.
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.
