FOOD FOB CALVES. In behalf of tho calves the Jersey Bulletin begs to remind those who are feeding separated skim milk that it is a very, very thin iOod. It needs to be generously reinforced with some flesh - forming and fat-making substance, such as boiled flaxseed, linseed oil meal, gruel or other like substance. In tho most careful hand-skimming there is more or less fat left in the skim milk, and it is therefore a little better calf food, but even hand-skimmed milk is very poor reliance as a steady diet unless reinforced by something of more sub stance. Do n«t forgot this. A GOOD MARKET CROSS. Experiments made by crossing an Indian game malo with Plymouth Kock hens, the past season, resulted in some very choice table birds, and which sold readily in the market. The only objection was tho leggy appearand of the chicks when about half grown, but their appearance did not indicate truly their weight, as every one weighed at least half a pound more thau other chicks of the same age, from different crosses, while their quality was far above that of any other market cross made. The game improves all other breeds for the table, but the chicks seem to be somewhat tender when young.— Man chester Mirror and Farmer. KEEP A RECORD OF NEWLY-SET TREES. It is not good policy to trust wholly to memory or labels for the record of newly set trees. In setting a new orchard or filling in an old one, or setting various kinds of trees about the house, make a record of it in a book kept for the pur pose and placed where it will be acces sible at all times. The same applies 'to small fruits. This record will not only be an aid to the one who plants them, but to those who may take his place. Also note the date of planting, and how old they were when set. Some trees and vines need to be trimmed and man aged differently from others, to obtain the best results, and to know just where they arc located is a good thing. Plants and shrubbery with long, difficult names should also be recorded in the book, with both tho common and botanical name. Record the season of bloom; and if any special care or cultivation is I recommended, write it out, or, what is I better, paste in the printed directions with your notes.—American Agricul turist. PURSLANE LOVERS. The purslane weed is of some use, if it is a nuisance of the larui. Tho hogs are especially fond of it, aud as it is good for them there is no reason why the weed should not be given to them. All farmers are more or less acquainted with the weed and know full well how it thrives. When they are killing the weeds, and if it can bo done without (iauger to crops, let the hogs have the run of the field. Then watch and sec what a perfect picnic tho porkers will have. If it is not possible to give tho pigs the run of the fields gather nil the weeds possible and throw it to them. AVc know of a farmer who makes it a prac tice togo every mcrniug aud pull a good amount of the weeds for the pigs. He claims that in the morning is tho best time to give them this food, and says they enjoy it more. But we think the time of day to give tho pigs the weeds is immaterial, and the best time is when you think you have enough weeds col lected for them.—American Farmer. "WINTERING FRUIT WOOD. Grapes can be grown even in the coldest sections, if the vines are laid down on the soil in November, so as to be cov eied with snow, and this is an easy mat ter with their pliant stems. Professor Budd says that peach trees bave been fruited in lowa by using the same preservative means. Their stiff, branchy nature ill adapts them to lying down, but this difficulty, as explained in the Rural New Yorker, is overcome by reducing the young tree to a single bare stem after one year's growth. This stem is bent flat to the ground late in the fall; the root 3 boiug bent or cut to make it practicable. About five feet of the stem remain permanently horizontal and the point grows upward and is allowed to branch; but chiefly in line with the pros trate stem, and is staked to hold it erect. In the next fall the top is eaiily bent down to one side or the other and held flat by billets of wood. The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can be fruited with similar carc to let only three or four canes grew in a hill in summer and to weight these down for the win ter. It 13 best not to cover any of such laid down shoots with eaith as, if mild weather occurs before April, the fruit buds may swell and rot. A difficulty in the case of the beach tree is its tendency to making rank growth late in summer, ■which cannot ripen well. The bending and training indicated above are likely to check this over production of soft wood and to induce more flowering buds aud shoots. SALT MAKES MOHF. MILE. It is being reported as something now that the giving of salt to cows has the effect of increasing the yield of milk. There is nothing new in this except to these persons who are beginners in tho business of keeping cows, or who do not read a paper in which any information ou this subject is regularly given. It is a very simplo matter. Milk is made only from the food that is digested. If tho food is not di -sted, not only is there a loss of mater. ,1 of which milk may be made, but the cow does not feel well. Both these ar" conducive to a decrease of the milk. But when a cow is regu larly supplied with salt, not only is she satisfied with this gratification of her tastec aud inclinations, but the digestion of the food is perfect, and tho result i3 that the milk yield is up to the highest point. The digestive fluid consists in part of a hydrochloric acid, of which salt is partlj made up, and thus this indis pensable agent of digestion is supplied to the cows. Salt is thus as much a food as sugar, which goes so largely to raain- Mkiu the vital heal aud support life, aud it should be given to all animals that do not live wholly on animal food, and in proportion to the amount of vegetable food they consume. The staple supply determined upon by experts is two ounces for a cow, one ounce for a horse, a dram for a sheep per day, and a small quantity at intervals of a few days for swine and poultry. The quantity given to a cow is for the reason that she gives milk which contains salt, and thus needs more than a liorsc, but a mare that is nursing a foal should have an increased allowance, although this is rarely thought of.—American Dairyman. EXPERIMENTS WITII OATS. Experiments have been made at the Illinois station on rate and depth of seeding, and tests of varieties of oats. All were made on the fertile dark-colored soil of the station grounds. Welcome oats were sown ou seven plats, each one by sixteen rods, at the rate of from one to four bushels per acre. The yields of both grain and straw for each of the four years the experiment has been in pro gress and the averages of the four years are tabulated for each rate of seeding. The largest yield of grain in 1891 was from sowing three and one-half bushels per acre with iittle variation between the plats sown at the rate of two, two and one-half, three, three and one-half and four bushels per aero. The average yields for four years were much the same as the above. One or one and a half bushels gave smaller average yields than any of the heavier seedings. Tho weight of the grain per bushel was loss in the case of the light seeding. As to depth of covering tho indica tions were that the returns were slightly better from covering two inches deep, though in trials for four years the best results have not come from covering the same depth in any two years. The average yield per acre in tests of forty-four varieties on fifty-five plats in 1830 and 1891 was 66.6 bushels of grain, weighing 33.5 pounds per bushel, aud 2840 pounds of straw. The early-maturing varieties are those harvested July 6 to 14; tho medium, .luly 16 to 20, and the late, July 2-4 to 30. Tho early-maturing varieties are superior to either the medium or late in the average yield of both grain and straw, the weight per bushel and size of I berries, but are inferior to either of these in per cent, of kernel; the dun-colored gave the smallest yield und the largest per cent, of kernel. As to the panicles, open or closed, the latter are superior in yield of both grain and straw and also in per cent, of kernel. As to weight per bushel, those which weigh less than thirty-two pounds are superior in both yield and per cent, of kernel. Notwithstanding the common belief to the contrary, it is said those oats which weigh least to the bushel have usually the highest per cent, of kernel aud consequently the highest food value. Thirty varieties have been tested for three years and fourteen ad ditional for two years. No one variety lias been shown to be greatly superior to all others. A different variety stood first in yield in each of the three years. —New York World. FABM AND GARDEN NOTES. Tomatoes should not grow too much vine. Potatoes should be kept in the coolest and darkest place possible. Low-growing vegetables may be cul tivated between berry bushes. The wool from well fed sheep is much better than from half-starved ones. When transplanting, have the roots straight and in their natural position. There is no profit in letting bees make wax. Honey is what is wanted, not wax. Tomato leaves are also said to make a good insecticide if steeped in water and sprinkled over plants. Poorly kept »heep will not make the owner rich, nor do much towards build ing up tho fertility of the soil. The wood queen-excludere do not seem to take much. Tho bees enlarge the cuts and the queens go above. If the weeds have started up in the wheat fields in many cases it will bo found a good plan to turn in the sheep. If the fowls get too fat give them some grain not rich in carbo-hydrates. Oats as a single food will tend to lessen the fat. Bee that tho poultry exhibited at the fnirs have airy coops. If they are neat and uniform iD size the display will show off better. Excelsior tho material used by upholsterers—is said to be an excellent thing for beekeepers. When iguited it 'makes a dense smoke. If you have late hatched turkeys it will be well to see that they do not get into the grass until the dew is off even though the sun is bright. Tho cause of the death of bees in a hivo is quite often due to staivation. And what may seem worse, tho owner of the apiary rarely knows the cause. In shipping poultry do not crowd the coops too full. Besides tho sufferings caused the fowls, tho death of two or three will take off the expected profits and cause disappointment. Cult'vate late potatoes the same as the spring crop. As an advantage to tho potato, level cultivation is best, but when slightly ridged or hilled they can be more easily plowed out. If tho garden is well planned, three crops can be secured in one season, but the ground must be kept occupied. As soon as one crop has matured another must be ready to take its place. To pive pormanoucy and uniformity to the ideal type that has been adopted, selections for breeding must bo strictly confined to animals having tho desired characters, within the limits of a dis tinct breed, or of a single family of a distinct breed. Where the attack on corn by bill-bugs is limited to small areas the application of n handful of sand saturated with kerosene around each of tho hills will effectually rid the field of them, rains carrying the oil dowa into tho soil aud killing tha bu^i. T HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. _ w TO SWEEP THE COBWEBS. "* Canton coverings brpoms are made by careful housewives with which to sweep the cobwebby corners of ceilings and also for use upon the pres ent popular mattings. These coverings are cut in the shape of the brush part of the broom, over which they are slipped, the sides are left open and tied with pieces of tape in three or four places, so that they may be easily removed when washing is necessary or the broom is re quired for harder sweeping than the soft flannel will allow.—New York World. HINTS ON CARVINO. It is pleasant to see a woman carve, if she does it deftly; there seems something appropriate and almost Scriptural in a woman's dispensing food to her house hold. English women nearly always carve, but in this country the work is al most invariably relagated to tho men. To save strength, time and patience in carving it is absolutely nocessary to have a sharp knife. As a general rule cut across the grain. A turkey should be placed with the head toward the right hand of the carver. The breast is generally cut in slices parallel with the breastbone; but if the turkey is large, first cut the wings off close to the body and then cut across. A good way to keep a knife perfectly sharp, and make your husband think you give him the tenderest of joints, is to use a "rifle," such as the farmers sharpen their scythes upon. A few turns on this will give an edge that will cut through anything.—New York Tribune. UNIX ABM FULNESS OF CAKE. Cake of the simple kinds, especially sponge, is and can be frequently given to the sick. Good sponge cake served with sweet cream or a glass of milk is an excellent iunch for an invalid. Some of the plain kinds of butter cakes—thoso made with a little butter— such as white, "feather" and similar va rieties—are really excellent food. Con sider for a moment what they contain: Eggs, milk, butter, sugar and flour— five of the most valuable of all our food products. Yet there are those who pride them selves upon not eating cake. This idiosyncrasy can only be explained in one or two waj'3. Either the cake which they havo had has not been properly made or else it has been so good that during a lapse of judgment they have eaten too much. The dark fruit cakes are to be avoided by both sick and well on account of the indigestible nature of the dried fruits used in them, and also because they are generally very compact and heavy, not light. There is a custom prevalent in many kitchens of using what is called "cook ing butter," that is, butter which is off taste or rancid. If you have no other butter for cake, don't make any. Cake made with that will not come under the head of "unharmful." Sweet butter and fresh eggs, not "store" eggs, are abso lutely necessary. Also is needed a dainty thinker to oil the pan in which it is to be baked, so that the outside of tho cake shall not taste of the fat. Many an otherwise good, harmless cake has been spoiled by doing this with dirty or rancid grease. Use sweet but ter or sweet olive oil.—Chicago News Record. RECIPES. Lomon Snaps—One cupful of sugar, half a cupful of butter, two eggs, two tablespooufuls hot water, half a tea spoonful soda, four cupfuls of flour, and flavor with two toaspoonfuls lenoa.

Place on a hot platter in any form desired, garnish with parsley, pieces of beet and carrot cut in fancy shapes, and slices of hard boiled eggs. Pulled Bread—Put a loat of light, flaky bread between two pans, and let it heat through in a moderate oven. It will take about twenty-five minutes for this. Take from the oven, and with a fork tear tho soft part into thin, ragged pieces. Spread these in a pan and put them in a hot oven to brown. It will take about fifteen minutes to make them brown and crisp. Serve at once on a napkin. Al ways serve cheese with pulled bread. Cocoanut Custard—Heat one quart of milk in a double boiler. Beat the yolks of five eggs and the whites of two, light, and five spoonfuls of sugar. Over these pour the scalding milk, stirring as you do so. Set over the tire agaiu, and stir until tho custard begins to thicken. Have ready one-half of a grated cocoanut, and pour the thicken ing custard on it, stirring them to gether. When cold, flavor with rose water or bitter almond; putin a glass dish, and lay over it the other half of the grated cocoanut. On this spread a merangue of the beaten whites of three eggs mixed with two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Eat with sponge cake. The Legion of Honor.

Our Colonel, an old campaigner who had won his spur in the Crimea, became involved in a diffi culty with a fellow officer, and a duel was the result. The Colonel, being the challenged party, selected pistols as the weapons and elected that the affair should occur in a darkened room. We secured-a room twenty feet square, closed every crevice that would admit light, placed our men in corners diagonally op posite and withdrew. Each man was provided with three charges and when these were" exhausted we rushed Into gather up the mutilated remains. Each man stood erect And soldier-like in the corner untouched, but directly behind the head of the Colonel's opponent were the three bullet holes made by the Colonel's pistol. 'How is this"? said n grizzled old Major. 'Had you been standing here when those shots were fired you would have been killed.' The culprit was compelled to admit that he had dropped to one knee. 'You are a coward, sir, and unfit for the company of soldiers and gentlemen,' snorted the Major. 'Hold on, Major,' said the Colonel. 'lt is a stand off.
