jjlgllll TO OET RID OF MOLES. It is advised in the American Florist to get rid of moles as follows: Knock off the rosin from a ball of potash, pul verize the potash, make openings in the litns, drop in a tablespoofui of the pot ash and cover the opening with a fl»t stone. I tried it and the mole* disap peared 'in a few days. Ball potash is very caustic and must be handled with caution to avoid Injury to the one using it. WHEN BUYING FERTILIZERS. Farmers should bear in mind that the "commercial valuation" is not the only thing to be taken into consideration in buying a fertilizer, says the Rhode Isl and Station. To illustrate: tUippose that the crop and soil demand largely phosphoric acid and potash and little nitrogen, then a fortilizer with a high percentage of nitrogen, but low in the other elements, would be of little value to the farmer, however high its com mercial value might be. The question is not how many pounds of fertilizsr for the money, but how much potash, phos phoric acid and nitrogen and their form. This question involves in a great meas ure the protits and losses in New Eng land farming.—New York World. I'ACKING BUTTER FOIt WINTER. Butter to keep well must bo well made, that is the buttermilk well worked out and a full ounce of pure salt worked into each pound of butter. If packed in tubs see that they are clean, first scalded with hot water and then washed with cold. Pack the butter as made and keep each layer covered with a cloth and salt until the Dext one is added. Fill the tub within one inch of the top, then sprinkle on a little salt, cover with a sloth, and tuck in the edge 3 all around oext to the tub, then cover with a half inch of salt, put 011 the cover and set away iu a cool, dry cellar. No vege tables or fruits should be stored in a sellnr where butter is to be kopt, because they are very likely to exhale odors that will be absorbed by the butter, even if the butter is kept in a close vessel.— New York Sun. CARE OF V.'ORK HORSES AT NOON. When work horses are brought in at noontime, the harness should bo le moved the sweat wiped off and the brush and curry comb freely used. The shoulders should be washed if they are sweaty or sore. Before starting work the sore shoulders may be softened with :ostor oil. Do not water the horse 3 while warm, nor feed them grain. Both it noon and at night the horses should be watered previous to feeding grain, j The stomach will then be in better con- i dition for the assimilation ot solid food, j If obliged to give a short hour at noon give a larger ration of grain, or what is j still better cut the hay into half inch j lengths and aid the usual quantity of ; ground feed, sprinkled with water, and thoroughly mix. This can be eaten rap idly, and will digest more readily than when fed separately in the dry, dusty , state.—American Agriculturist. HOW TO KILL BRUSH AND BRIARS. To farmers who live in timbered re gion this question is an interesting prob lem. There is a theory with some, who ought to know, that there is a day, with the moon in right quarter and the sign of Zodiac in the right place, that a tree or shrub should be cut to kill it root and branch. All this sounds well enough to them, but years of experience j has failed to verify such theories. A 1 Bapling may bo cut in the winter that j will never sprout, and it may be cut in the light of the moon in August, wbeu | the sign is in the heart, and sprouts will t appear abundantly. We cut brush every day in the year, and some will die no matter when they were cut, and some will not die. If sprouting is done twice a year, say June and August, for two or three years, no sprouts will appear the next year unless it be sassafras or post I oak runners. The whole secret of killing, other than grubbing, seems to be in sap pois- I oning. The sap must sour, which kills | the roots. Hence some practice cutting the stumps a foot or more in heigth. An experiment of this kind showed a decided gain, since the stumps rotted out in four years' time from cutting. The killing ot briars, especially dew beiries, baffle all skill and industry. At one time it seemed they were gone, but when the land was put down to meadow they came up as strong and vig orous as ever. Sassafras has been al luded to; nobody ever killed one by cutting it off at the ground. The same is tiue of persimmon. They need very I different treatment. When cut a foot or two from the ground sap poisoning is I more possible and effective.—American 1 Farmer. WILD FLOWERS AND THEIR CULTURE. People usually make too bard work ol cultivating wild plants. They are apt to Attempt to imitate the natural conditions under which they find the p'.ants. This, to a certain extent, is wise, but in most cases it is easily carried too far. The problem is simplified when we once come to understand wild plants grow where they are obliged to grow, rather than where they desire to grow. Be cause a plant grows in the woods is little reason to £xpeci that it may not grow equally as wetl in the sun. And then, it is not necessary to wait until fall or spring to take up the wild plants. At every outing, whatever the time of year —if the ground is not frozen—l mean togo prepared to bring home roots. In these sultry July days I am bringing home wild, herb's, aud uext year I ex pect to see most of them bloom. I dig thejp up with a comfortable ball of earth, cut the tops off nearly to the ground, and keep them moist until I get them home; then they are set in the border, and -if'dry weather follows, a little water giveu occasionally at sun down helps them to grov-. Ido not pre tend to say that July u as good 1 time aa April or October to move plants, but one must capture the good things as he finds them. The native orchids, how ever, usually require careful manage ment, being,am.-ag aifFcnit of uative plants to colonize. Most of them require complete or partial shade aud • I moist subsoil. If a water supply i* at hand, a moist ] plat under trees or about buildings, where . there is sooie protection from wind, can ' be made, and clumps of many species ■ can be removed with safety. It is best . to remove them in summer, when the , flowering season is past. American t Gardening. HARVESTING AND STORING POTATOES. That potatoes require even more care than grain in harvesting, is verified by a > long experience. Unless the soil is very r heavy and wet, digging should never be > done early in the fall. Potatoes should - remain in the ground until the vines 1 have become dead, and, if the weather ' is warm and dry, they should remain ■ still longer. Of course there are excep -1 tions as when blight withers the vinos ' and extends down to rot the tubers. 11 Then the crop should be harvested and • stored in a dry, cool place as quickly as 1 possible. Provided normal conditions exist, and there Is no disease in the crop, potatoes for winter storing should remain undug until late fall, even until the last of Oc tober. If possible, harvest when the ground is dry, and do not let the tubers be exposed to the wind and sun any longer than to evaporate the moisturi clinging to them. Whether dug with a hoe, hook, or horse potato digger, avoid harshness in removing the pota toes from the ground. One reason whj 1 potatoes should be left in the ground until fully ripe is to toughen their ten der skins to obviate easy abrasion, but, of course, the principal reason therefoi is that the tubers may become thoroughlj mature, so as to be a healthful, nutri tious food. The potato tubers should not be al lowed to burn in the suu, or their fine flavor will be destroyed. The crop should be handled as little as possible to prevent abrasions that do irreparable injury. It is always the best plan to do the assorting in the field when the tu bers are gathered. Place the merchan table potatoes carefully in crates, or baskets, nevei throw them roughly in, and do not take them from these recep tacles until they arc putin the bins in the cellar. The mode, practiced by some farmers, of pouring them into a wagon box in the field, from which they 1 are shoveled into a chute, whence they ! side into the cellar, is ruinous to their | keeping qualities, and should never be ! practiced. The cellar, or store room, should be dry, well ventilated, and cool. Do not mass the potatoes together in big bins; i they will "sweat" the same as hay or ' grain when in bulk, and will heat and i rot if there is no ready escape for the moisture. To store potatoes in pits to i remain until spring, select a dry elevated (spot, and, whether buried below the ; surface, or covered above the ground, always leave a free space over the pota ' toes for the evaporation of moisture. | Potatoes thus kept will not sprout dur- I ingthe winter.—American'Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Late hatches of turkeys seldom provo profitable. A pond is not necessary in raising Pekin ducks. Sheep cannot thrive on filthy food or filthy quarters. It is always an item to keep sheep as clean as possible. I The Chinese sacred lily bloomi as well | in pebbles and water as iu soil. Orange trees may be planted success- I fully almost any month in the year. [ Change the flock to fresh pastures occasionally; they will thrive better. Select now next year's hens and fatten off the surplus unless they are fit to sell as breeders. The Newtown pippin is popular, not only for home consumption but for the > foreign trade. With sheep, as with other stock, the best tecding is a good variety regularly and liberally given. ! The earlier the sheep are matured the less chance they will have to eat their heads off while growing. Roman hyacinths are extensively used for forcing, which may be done at a temperature of sixty degrees. When the lambs are weaned be sure that they have access to a good supply of water. This is essential to thrift. While a few sheep can be kept on al most every farm, they should not be * yarded with the cattle and horses. | Keep in a good condition now; a , sheep in a vigorous, thrifty condition in | the fall may be considered half win tered. The new Princess strawberry, which originated in Minnesota, was named by the Horticultural Society of that State; it at the same time took flrst prize over fifteen now seedlings, j Putin a crop of turnips for your : geese and ducks. Store them away for ! winter, and during the cold season cook them and thicken with bran and shorts, I and you will have a cheap and nutritious I mess for them. An experienced peach grower says: I "Don't force a too rapid growth while 1 young, as it tends to produce a tree sub ject to early decay. Apply no futilizer | upon the peach orchard in good sell I until the pearing period. On clay soils poultry yards may be I greatly improved by placing a tile drain two feet below the surface of the yard, aud then adding a foot of sand. Treated in this way, the rains carry down much of the filth to the drains and save labor. At the New Hampshire experiment station they found that from their best cow milk cost about one and one-half cents a quart, and from their poorest cow more than four and one-half cents. There Is a chance for a profit in one case. A good average corn crop has produced from ono and one-third to two and one fourth times as much food per acre as a good hay crop, or enough to support a . cow in full flow of milk from one hua i dred and sixty-eight days to two hun | dred and eighty-seven days. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. TO IMB or XnX-TODi A vary dainty and toft carriage robe for baby may be made of ailk or ailk oline, tufting it with baby ribbon bow* And in place of padding it with cotton or down, milk-weed may be aMd, some times known as New York State cotton. Moat every one who has been in the country ha* Men it growing by the road side, and now is the time to gather it. The process it has to undergo to prepare it for use is this: Remove the pod and the seeds and then take the silkly part away from the pitch. Next, dry the ailk by putting it in a cheese-cloth bag and hang it in the sun for about two hours. It is now ready to use. Sofa pillows and head-rests also may be stuffed with it, and they will be equally as soft as down and about quarter as expensive.— Now York World. CLAM BROTH FOR AN INVALID. ID making a clear clam broth for an invalid, wash the clams and put thein over the fire in a sauce pan until they open. Draw off the liquor, strain it, and season to taste. In some cases the soft part of the clam may be given the patient. It the flavor is too strong di lute with boiling water. Clam bouillon is also nourishing for invalids and an appetizer as well. Open twenty-five large clams without boiling them. Wash, drain and do not use the liquor. Chop the clams and put them in a double boiler UDtil the heat draws out as much juice as possible. Drain and press the clams and put the juice in a sauce pan. Mix four ounces of flour thoroughly with the white of an egg by beating, add to the broth, and when it reaches the boil ing point strain it at once through a napkin and and season slightly. It miy be diluted with milk or water.—Nev York Post. HOW TO KEEP FOOD. All foods should be kept separate from each other. Keep fresh meat above the ice. Keep cold cooked meat in a clean, drj 1 safe" or wired cupboard. Keep potatoes and all root vegetables in a box or bin in a dry cellar. Keep butter in a covered crock or tub in a cool, dry place. Cranberries may be kept for months in crocks or jars, and covered with water. Sugar, rice, hominy, farina, oatmeal and the like aro best kept in bags or boxes in a cool, dry closet. Milk should be as far as possible sep arated from other food and kept clean and cool. A basket kept on a swinging shelf is the proper receptacle for eggs. Coflee and tea should be kept in close canisters by themselves. Spices also. Baking powders, carbonate of soda and the like keep best in small, self sealing glass jars. Lard should be hard, white and kepi in a covered crock. Dried fruits are best kept in bags and hung upon a dry wall, but they may also be well preserved, if properly dried, in boxes. Apples and oranges keep longest by being wrapped separately in tissue paper and spread out, so as noi to touch each other, in a cool, dry place. Pies, cooked meats, cold cooked veg etables and the like must be covered, not kept in a wired cupboard, or ■'safe," as it is called. All food that is not perfectly sound, that is unripe, that is allowed to dry, or accumulate the particles floating in the air, is unwholesome.—St. Louis Repub lic. RSCIPES. Sweet Potato Waffles—Take two tablespoonfuls of mashed sweet potatoes, one spoon of butter, one of sugar, one pint of milk and four tablespoonfuls of wheat flour; mix all together and bake in waffle irons.

Beat all up together and drop from a spoon into hot lard. Roasted Chicken—A spring chicken roasted is more delicious if cut open up the back, rolled in sifted bread crumbs and placed inside down in a dripping pan containing a plentiful allowance of hot butter, than when rosted whole. Baste often, be careful and do not scorch, and serve with brown gravy in a boat. Egg and Cheese Salad—Slice a dozen haid-bolled eggs, and put a layor of cheese in the dish. Orate on a thick covering of cheese, and then another layer of eggs, alternating with the cheese until the eggs aro used up. Sprinkle over the top a few cappers and fine-chopped pickles. Pour over it all mayonnaise sauce, and again cover with grated cheese. Brown Sauce—One tablespoonful but ter, one tablespoonful flour, one-half pint of stock, one-half teaspoonful onion juice, one-eight teaspoonful of pepper, one-half teaspoonful of salt.

Meat Scallops—When there is con siderably cold meat at hand chop fiae, and make a scallop. Butter a pudding dish and line the bottom with a layer of bread crumbs, add a little salt and a few bits of butter, then a layer of meat and another of bread crumbs, and so on till the dish is full. Pour over the whole a bowl of gravy if jou have it and, if not moisten well with cold water, cover,and bake three-quarters of an hour, unoovei and let it brown. Bino-Krcea Snow. "There will be a blue snow before that, takes place," has been a phrase of scornful derision for eons. It is repect able by reason of its antiquity, but in the light of modern research should be used with caution. For there are, in reality, three places where blue-green snow is found. One of these places is near Mount Eecla, Iceland; another, fourteen miles east ot the mouth of the Obi, and.the third near the Quito, South America.—New York Advertiser. Veils are to be worn longer. Red is the oolor of the day. "Danube blue" is a new color. In Burmah women propose to men. The fashionable boat has low heels. The long circular of lace is quite popu lar. The highly perfumed woman is an abomination. Girls of twelve years or more wear the pinafore dress. Lace trimmings are used on dress-hats of fine French felt. Mackintoshes with cipes and nc sleeves promise well. The shorter the woman the bigger the boa of cock's plumes. Little red shoes must be accompanied by accessories of the same color. New patterns and designs in buttons have already elicited feminine enthusi asm. As soon as anything is general in fashion it is dropped by the conserva tive.
