A Largo Fruit Farm.
One of the largest fruit farms this
Bide of the Kooky Mountains, accord
ing to a recent bulletin of the West
Virginia Experimental Station, is tc
be found on the foothills of the Blue
Ridge in Jefferson County, of that
State. In 1887 Becker Brothers set
out 33,000 peach trees, since which
time eight adjoining tracts have been
added, until the fruit farm comprise*
2400 acres in one body. The planters
have not stopped with peaches alone,
but they have a large area in grapes,
quinces and cherries, besides Americar
and Japanese plums, apricots, Japan
persimmons, nectarine, English wal
nuts, Italian chestnuts and paper shell
almonds.—Chicago Herald.

T.ATK CABBAGE PLANTS.
It is not necessary for a crop of lute
cabbage to start the plants in a hotbed.
Make a place out doors as rich and
mellow as possible, sow the seed in
drills rather thinly, and cover nights
to keep in the heat. It is very im
portant to make a rapid but stocky
growth. This may be done by putting
nitrate of soda in the drill row and
transplanting each plant once if not
more times before finally setting it out
where it is to make a head. Plants
thus treated are worth double those
grown closely crowded in the matted
bed.—Boston Cultivator.
GROWING TOTATOES.
To grow potatoes, select the best
soil you can get, avoiding ground that
is liable to overflow, clear off all tho
trash, and if the ground is not very
rioh apply a good dressing of well
rotted manuro and then plow as deep
as you can. Then harrow until the
soil is in good condition. Then as soon
as danger of frost is past plant for
early crop. First of June plant peach
blows. When ready to plant take a
plow and run deep furrows three and
cno-half feet apart. Cut your potatoes
in pieces, one or two eyes to the piece,
drop eighteen inches apart in these
furrows, one piece in a place. Then
take a hoe and cover, putting an inch
of soil over each piece. Cultivate as
soon as tho plants aro well up and keep
filling in the furrows, and you will not
be troubled with weeds in tho rows
and will not need to do any hand
weeding. Cultivate once a week till
they bloom.—New York Observer.
THE cow's CCD.
The cow's cud is a quantity of the
food that is brought up from the first
stomach after the food has been swal
lowed and tho animal is resting and
has time to remastieate it more com
pletely. Between the first and second
stomachs thero is a receptacle about
five inches long and the size of the
gullet. A portion of the food is pressed
into this part of the gullet and is
brought up into the throat and mouth,
where it is chewed slowly. This food
may be seen ascending the gullet when
the cow is ruminating. The cud is not
any distinct thing, ns some suppose,
that may be lost, but is simply a por
tion of the food which comes from the
stomach in the way described. When
a cow is said to lose her cud, nothing
is lost or dropped, but by reason of
indigestion the action of the stomach
is suspended, and it is restored as soon
as the trouble is removed by any
simple medicine. The most effective
is a dose of a pint of raw linseed oil or
melted lard.—New York Times.
FERTILIZERS AND COW-rEAS.
The manner of properly treating and
applying fertilizers is yearly receiving
more consideration among farmers.
On this subject the Georgia Experi
ment Station tells Southern farmers
that the best results can only bo ob
tained from concentrated fertilizers by
using them on tho best lands, and not
by scattering them at the rate of 100
or 200 pounds to the acre over a large,
worn-out plantation. Nor should the
mistake be made of applying large
amounts of concentrated fertilizers on
worn-out land. Tho larger the appli
cation the more important it becomes
that tho land should be in the best pos
sible condition, such as it would havo
been left in by a good crop of small
grain, with thorough and deep plow
ing and harrowing.
Tho practice of sowing cow-peas is
strongly urged for renovating the soil
and for hay. Nitrogen is the most im
portant element of plant food because
it is indispensable to the plant and is
deficient in all worn or partially ex
hausted soils. It is the most uniformly
effective element of a fertilizer for all
grains, grasses and cotton. While the
most expensive, if bought in the mar
ket, it may bo drawn from the air by
cultivating such plants as clover, pea
nuts, vetches, burrclovcr, lucerne and
especially the cow-pea, which, if prop
erly utilized, will be more valuable to
the Southern farmer than red clover
has been to tho farmers of the North
and Webt.—New York World.
BREEDING BOWS.
A sow that is a good breeder should
be kept for several years, or until she
forms somo bad habit, of which unruli
ness and eating her young aro the two
that give most trouble. When the sow
gets her full growth her litters will be
larger, healthier aud more uniform,
often without a single titman. In the
first litter, especially, if the sow be a
young one, there will be two and
sometimes as many as three pigs that
are either dead at birth or aro so un
dersized that they are not worth rais
ing. A three or four-year-old sow,
farrowing two litters of pigs a year,
will often give moro profit than an
average cow, and not cost so much to
keep nor so much labor to care for.
The chief care with a breeding Bow
after she gets her growth is not to let
her get too fat. She will have an enor
mous appetite, br.t it should bo satis
fied, except when she is suckling her
young, with the coarsest feed. Skim
milk is good, but not too much of it.
With this mix bran or fine middlings,
and then let tho bulk of tho feed be
roots, beets or rtangels in winter, and
a rr.n in the aprio orchard or a clover
lot in BBEiicce.'. ! r f allowed to run in
pastv.ro ono w two seasons old sows be
come oreasiy, breaking through fences
and s'ates, an 1 going where they pleaso.
Tfcat is tne fault for which most of
them hq-.T to bo fattened.—American
Cultivate".
ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.
Attention has recently been directed
to the application of electricity to farm
ing operations, and the designing and
introduction of suitalilo dynamo-elec
tric machinery for this purpose would
no doubt bo profitable both to the
manufacturers and the farmers. Early
?u 1892, an electric power system was
installed at ihe farm of the Agricultural
Esperinieut btutiou, Auburn, Ala.., the
current being brought from the college
laboratory by a line three-quarters of
a mile in length, conducted by the stu
dents themselves. A ten horse power
motor was used for ginning and press
ing cotton, thrashing grain, cutting up
feed stuff, etc., and gave entire satis
faction. In every community where
there is water power, electricity could
be economically generated and used not
only for the above mentioned purposes,
but also to run saws, planing machines,
pumps, lathes, grindstones, cider
presses, sorghum mills, churns, sewing
machines—in short, for everything re
quiring power. What farmer would
not welcome the exchange of smoky
lamps for electric lights ? The arc light
may also prove useful in market gar
dening, some recent experiments made
in France having shown that it has a
marked effect in stimulating plant
growth when sunlight iB not to be had.
Where sufficient water power is not
available, windmills might be used in
connection with a system of storage
batteries. Such a utilization of the
wasted energies of nature would put off
the coming of tho coal famine that
threatens future generations.—lnven
tive Age.
CULTIVATION OF WILLOWS.
Inquiries are received concerning
tho culture and marketing of willows
for baskets and other goods. Notwith
standing the basket willow does well in
this country, five-sixths of the quan
tity consumed is imported from for
eign countries.
Tho prevailing opinion that only low
land is suitable for willow cultivation
may be the cause of so little attention
being given to it. Low land is best,
but high land is good. It is certainly
far better than land where there are
stagnant pools or too much water.
For the growth of willows the land
must bo treated similar to that in
tended for the planting of corn. It
must be plowed in the fall and loosened
up in the spring. The field must be
kept free of grass and weeds.
The willow cuttings are planted in
rows twelve inches apart. Tho rows
should be three feet apart and a culti
oator and hand hoe used to keep down
the weeds.
Tho plants are cuttings from two to
three year old Willows which are cut
one foot long, measuring three-eighths
to one-half inch in thickness. With a
stick or iron rod holes are made in the
ground and a cutting introduced so that
ono or two buds remain above the
ground. The first year only a few
sprouts will spring from each cutting.
Every year in March the switches are
cut close to the stem before the sap
shoots into the plants. Tho switches
are tied in bundles about ten inches in
diameter and placed in two or three
inches of water, remaining thero until
tne latter part of April until tho sap
has risen and small leaves and sprouts
have appeared. This sap loosens the
bark which can be removed very easily
by being drawn through a wooden fork
similar to a clothes pin.
Willows must be dried in the open
air. They are then bundled to weigh
about fifty pounds per bundle. About
30,000 willow cuttings aro necessary to
plant an acre. The willow reaches the
greatest production in the third year,
and with proper care and good fertiliz
ing it will continue to yield good re
sults for many years.
Dry peeled willows are worth five to
eight cents a pound, and green willows
with the bark on them are worth SI 4
to »18 per ton.—Farm, Field and Fire
side.
FARM ANI) GARDEN NOTES.
Pigs should suckle till ten weeks old.
Tho flock enjoy summer as well as
winter comforts.
Have a syringe handy when the foal
puts in an appearance.
Are there wast places in the pasture ?
Give them a coat of manure.
There are family traits and like
nesses in sheep as much as "humans."
No, no ! "Everybody can't be a good
shepherd ; they ain't made that way."
Salt and wood ashes in reach of hogs
aro beneficial. Good for horses also.
Never refuse a good cash offer when
you have anything of the horse kind to
sell.
Many a man is a success as a wool
grower and can't tell why to save his
life.
Feed oil and cotton-seed cake. It is
best for sheep, for the farm and for
you.
One thing can be relied upon about
sheep manure—thero are no weed seed
in it.
A few short, sharp brushes dovelop
speed much faster than miles of slow
work.
Have some pasturo held in ease you
need it further on when dry weather
comes.
The neglect givcf) the chicks now
cannot be overcome with good care by
and by.
Make your flock what your wifo is—
the best, prettiest, and tho envy of
everybody.
Health, comfort, neatness are the
things to be sought when building a
poultry house.
Is your experience that cooked or
soaked corn is better than dry, hard
corn for hogs?
Little chicks enjoy fresh water to
drink. Give them some, even though
you provide milk for them.
Soft coal oinders and charcoal from
wood or cobs shouldbe among the "ap
petizers" kept on the hog's bill of faro
daily.
Tho aluminum sulky, weighing from
eighteen to twenty-five pounds, is said
to be coming along with the two-minute
trotter.
Minnesota has passed a law making
it a criminal offense to dock a horse's
tail according to the hackney senseless
and cruel fashion.
If you are raising chicks for the eggs
they will lay don't keep the cockerels
till fall, sell them as soon as large
euvugh for broilers.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
WOOLEN APRONS.
Woolen aprons are recommended
either to cooks or other women who are
constantly about a hot stove. The
aprons may be made from a light
weight, loosely woven woolen, and are
certainly a wise precaution against those
accidents from lire that happen every
few days. At the large stores there are
ready made woolen petticoats, the
cheapest of which are fifty cents, that
may be cut open and used for aprons.
They need only be used for cooking
and ironing, and the gingham apron
used at other times. Washed in water
containing a little ammonia, they are
as easily cleansed as aprons of cotton.
—New York Post.
SPRINGTIME GREENS.
Spinach is one of the springtime
vegetables that should stand near the
top of the list in healthfulness. But it
is seldom properly cooked. It should
bo thoroughly, perfectly freed from
sand and dust by many washings, in
cold water, and then putin a close
saucepan and covered closely, without
one drop of water, over a moderate fire.
In an hour or more it will be perfectly
cooked; then it should be drained and
chopped, and butter and salt added.
The old fashioned way was to almost
drown it in the liquor from corned
beef—and thus half its nutriment and
medicinal properties wore lost, and the
other half so disguised that the luscious
leaves might just as well havo been cab
bage, or any other sort of "greens."
Young beets and the "foliago thereof,"
are considered line by many; but wo
have been told, anil found it true, that
if tho leaves aro held up to the light,
looked through and examined, so much
life is seen between the outside and the
lining of them that no ono will care to
oat "beet greens" thereafter. Our own
eyesight is generally convincing.—New
York Independent.
HOW TO COOK A STEAK.
This is tho proper way to cook a
beefsteak : Tho first requisite is to get
a steak that has been kept long enough
—the proper time is two months. The
very sight of this as it comes from the
refrigerator would effectually deter
any woman from buying it, for it is
covered with a repulsivo mold and
looks as though it were fit only for the
garbage wagon. Tho butcher and the
beefsteak expert know better.
Tho sides and ends trimmed off,
meat of a dark, blood-red color is dis
closed. This should bo sliced about
two inches thick, tho end known as
waste cut off, leaving tho solid tender
loin and sirloin. The trimming of a
porterhouse takes about one-tliiril its
weight. Reduced thus, the steak
should then be liberally seasoned with
salt and pepper. A test of tho con
dition of the steak is a pressure of the
finger. If it is tender the impression
remains 011 the moat.
Prepared thus the steak is placed on
a common broiler and putin tho gas
stove, the flanio of which is above and
from one and a half to two inches from
it. It takes about twenty minutes to
cook such a steak—ten for each side.
It should be cooked slowly, for the
meat has just come off the ice and take?
time to get hoated through. The
dripping-pan beneath catches the juice
that used to fall in the coals and burn
the steak.
The juieo is afterward poured over
the steak, and its saving is possible
only by the gas stove. This manner
of cooking steak is being adopted by
*ll of the best restaurants in New York.
Besides the charring of steak by coals
and dripping grease, the heat cannot
be kept uniform under any other sys
tem than gas. Natural gas is considered
the beet.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
RECIPES.
Strawberry Custard—Make a custard
of one pint of milk, the yolks of throe
eggs and four tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Set it aside to cool. Beat tho whites
of the eggs until stiff, add to them four
tablespoonfuls powdered sugar, anil
beat again until stiff and white. Put
about a pint of strawberries into a
glass dish, pour over the custard, heap
tho whites in spoonfuls over the top,
dust with sugar, place in the oven a
moment to brown. Serve ice-cold.
Strawberry Dumplings Make d
dough as for short cake, roll into a
thin shoot and cut with a large round
cutter; put three strawberries in the
center of each round, fold the dough
over so that you have a neat dumpling.
Stand these dumplings 011 a buttered
plate, place them in a steamer and
steam twenty minutes. Serve with a
strawberry sauce.
Meat Turnovers Stew tho dry,
tough portions of cold roast beef until
tender, letting the water stew nearly
all away. Chop fine, and mix with
it twice as much hot mashed potato,
and te each cup of the mixture add
a tablespoonful of green tomato pickle,
minced fine. Add salt to taste, and
moisten with meat water. Shape into
flat, thin cakes, brown in sausage fat,
and turn when brown on one side.
Noodles for Soup—Beat three eggs
well without separating, add three
tablespoonfuls of milk and as much
flour as tho eggs and milk will mix;
roll out as thin as possible, cut into
strips and dry half an hour. Boil for
twenty minutes in plenty of boiling,
salted water, drain dry. Brown deli
cately in a frying pan with one table
spoonful of butter.
Tripe Lyonnaise—Cut up half a
pound of boiled tripe into neat squares.
Put two ounces of butter and a table
spoonful of chopped onion in a frying
pan and fry to a delicate brown ; add
to tho tripe a tablespoonful of chopped
parsley and a little strong vinegar, salt
and cayenne; stir the pan to prevent
burning. Cover the bottom of the
platter with tomato sauce, add the con
tents of the pan and serve,
A Pocket Life Line.
Lieutenant Brunei, of Dieppe,
France, in 1874, introduced a pocket
life saving apparatus, of which over
3500 are now in use in France, where
they save on an average 285 lives an
nually. Tho apparatus consists of a
small wooden float with 100 feet of
stout cord wound about it. One end
of the cord is attached to a small but
efficient grapnel armed with four small
hooks. Tho whole thing weighs only
five ounces and can be sold at a profit
for half a dollar.—New York Adver

Attacked by Wild Hogs. J
Charles Stoll ' a pioneer settler of
Hungry Hollow, lie is only forty-seven
years of age and there are many resi
dents there now who are his seniors,
but he was the first man to turn the
virgin soil of that prosperous section
of Yolo County.
During all of Mr. Stoll's residence in
Hungry Hollow he never experienced
a more thrilling adventure that oc
curred to him last Tuesday. Arming
himself with his rifle he went for a
hunt among the chapparal and under
brush that abound in the neighboring
hills. He had not proceeded far before
he started up a drove of wild hogs.
At first he imagined he had aroused a
den of bruins. The hogs made a vicious
attack, and drove Mr. Stoll to tho
boughs of a tree. Not until he had
killed three of tho brutes did the rest
take to cover and permit him to descend.
He returned to his home, secured tho
services of a hired man and a wagon
and returned for his game. Arriving
nt the scene of his adventure, ho was
again set upon by wild hogs. Of course
he was safe in the wagon, but the
horses were not only paralyzed with
fear, but liable to be crippled by tho
vicious attacks of the hogs, so Mr.
Stoll concluded to beat a hasty retreat
and leave his game to be devoured by
vultures and wild beasts. —Woodland

The Traveling of Roots.
Nature gives a curious instance of
the traveling of roots. While a coun
try house was being demolished it was
noticed that large quantities of vege
table fiber adhered to parts of some of
the wulls. Further scrutiny revealed
the fact that tho root of a wistaria had
entered tho dining room by a small
chink of the window near tho ceiling,
and on removing the paper from the
walls the whole of the plaster around
the room was found to be covered with
a fine net work of rootlets. The most
singular part of the discovery was that
not a trace of the intruding growth
was visible on tho paper inside the
room, which had been constantly in
habited.—Chicago Record.

Brighest Part of My Trip.
The New York fa»hion correspondent ol a
Southern paper gives out the following :
A lady writes : " I have read your letters
for a long time, and have often envied you
the opportunity you enjoy of seeing the beau •
tiful things you describe. I used to think,
when I read of those charming dresses arc\
parasols and hats at Lord & Taylor's, that
theirs must be one of those stores where a.
timid, nervous woman like myself, having but
a few dollars to spare for a season's outfit,
would be of so little account that she would
receive little attention ; but when you said,
in one of your letters a few months ago, that
goods of the same quality were really cheaper
there than elsewhere, because they sold more
goods in their two stores than any other firm
in New York, and that because they sold more
they bought more, and consequently bought
cheaper, I determined, if I ever went to New
York, I would goto lord & Taylor's.
" That long-waited-for time came in the
early autumn, and I found myself standing
before that great entrance, with those won
derful windows at either side. I summoned
mv courage and entered, as 1 suppose tens of
thousands of just such timid women as I
have done before. My fears were gone in an
instant. The agreeable attention put me at
my ease at once, and I felt as much at home
as though I were in the little country store
where my people have ' traded' for nearlv a
quarter of a century.
" And now, as 1 wear the pretty things 1
purchased, or see them every day and find
them all so satisfactory, I think of my visit
to this great store as the brightest part of my
trip to New York."
