What Chinese Epicure* Eat.
A Chinese mandarin has forwarded
the menu of a banquet given at
Pfking to the foreign diplomatist*,
the menu of which follows: I'irst
came four classic dishes—namely,
swallow nests with pigeon eggs, shark
fi tih with crabs, dopffish with wild
duck, duck and cauliflower; then suc
ceed delicacies served in cups placed
before each guest; swallow nests,
shark fins, plain morils, vegetables,
mushrooms with duck feet, fried
partridge, pigeon in slices; then there
appeared four dishes—namely, ham in
honey, a puree of peas, vegetables and
dogfish ; four side dishes: haricot
cheese with bamboo buds (a kind of
asparagus), roots of bamboo, chicken,
shellfish; four hors d'oeuvers in
duplicate, ham and chicken, lisli and
gizzard, pork tripe and vermicelli,
duck aud pork cutlets. Each guest
had also placed before liini plates of
almonds, pistachio paste, pears and
oranges. Finally, the following were
the roast and boiled meats: buckling
pug, roast duck, boiled chicken, boiled
pork. There was a profusion of
European and Chinese wines. No
opium was smoked, for official China
is not yet reconciled to the drug which
it owes to the East India Company.—

AXLE GREASE.
Pnre palm oil is as good grease for
axles of heavy wagons as anything
else. If this cannot he procured and
tallow is to be used, this mixture will
be good: The tallow is melted and
mixed with an equal quantity of com
mon castor oil. Some finely-pow
dered black lead is then well mixed
in by stirring while it is warm
and until it cools. This is excellent
for heavy and light vehicles. For
light buggies castor oil is the best
grease.—New York Times.
CARE OP THE COLT'S FOOT.
If a colt shows a tendency to walk
on the heel or frog, rasp the sole
towards the toe to take away the
thickness. If the foot is worn at the
toe and the heels have become too
high, they should be lowered with the
ran]). When the edges or rim of the
hoof has grown leaving the frog and
center hollow, the edges should be
rasped. The more frequently the foot
is putin proper shape the more likely
it is to grow into that shape.—New-
York World.
CHARCOAL FOR FOWLS.
We have found charcoal a very ex
cellent thing to furnish our poultry
with. It may be given in a powdered
state, mixed with the soft meal feed,
and a little pulverized sulphur at the
same time may be added with advan
tage. But the very best way to sup
ply this is to burn an ear or two of
corn (upon the cob), charring it to
blackness and throwing it before them.
They will devour every kernel, and
so supply themselves with a. grateful
aud healthy substance that sweetens
the crop, and serves as an admirable
tonic to the stomach.
At tliis season of the year the above
recommendation will be found a valu
able hint to poultrvmen. Hens about
ready to lay will devour this prepared
charcoal eagerly, and the increased
freshness and redness of their combs
afterward evince the efficacy of this
allowance. For a month or six weeks
in the early breeding season nothing
is better than this for laying liens
given them daily.—Poultry World.
RYE IS THE CORNFIELD.
There is one plan that, if generally
adopted by the dairymen, would add
measurably to the pasturage of the
farm and at the same time be a benefit
to the soil itself, and this is the prac
tice of sowing rye in the cornfield
either at the last working or as soon
as the corn is cut up. In the spring,
long before the pastures are "fit" for
turning the stock upon them, the rye
field is a wealth of fine feed and excel
lent. By this plan there is no winter
•washing of the laud, which is, as a rule,
equal in exhaustion to a growing crop,
and by the middle of May this rye sod
can be turned under for corn and is
next to clover sod in value. For sev
eral years the writer has as nearly as
possible carried out this plan and finds
that, with what manure and clover sod
comes in in rotation, his fields are get
ting better all the time. Two ways
present themselves to putin the rye —
sowing broadcast and cultivating in
with a light cultivator, setting teeth as
shallow as gootl work will allow, so as
to disturb the corn roots as little as
possible ; and the other is to cut up the
corn, having the shocks regular, and
then sowing one and a-half bushels of
rye on broadcast and harrowing it in
with a harrow or disc, the loosening
up of the ground covering the seed ef
fectually without plowing. There is
nothing equal to keeping the land at
wwrk, filling the soil with a mass of
roots to decay and furnish food for the
following crop, and if it can be done
between crops, as this plan with rye
offers, a great gain has been made not
only in the supplying of food to the
stock, but feeding the land as well.—
Practical Farmer.
BEST RESULTS FROM TOMATOES.
When pruned and staked tomato
plants will bear much closer planting
in the field than if left to themselves.
Two feet by four is about the proper
distance. As soon as set in the field
the plants ought to be tied. Set strong
stakes at each end of every row and
brace carefully. Smaller stakes may
be set at intervals of two rods along
the rows. These stakes should be
about three aud a half feet high. Next
stretch two wires of about the size
used iu baling hay along the tops
of the stakes in each row. Take
ordinary laths or small sticks of any
kind, of the same length as lath and
stick one just at the side of the place
that each plant is to occupy. The
upper ends of the stakes are held in
place by weaving the wires around
the tops of the stakes or laths. This
makes a neat and substantial trellis.
The plants are trained to single stems
and tied to lath supports.
Of course, tying must be done at
successive intervals as the plants in
crease in height until the top of the
trellis is reached, after which nothing
further need lie done iu the way of
training. All side roots near the ground
and suckers must lie pinched oft, as
the object t< bo gained 111 staking
would be lost otherwise. None of the
blossoms nve to lie removed, but
simply th" leafy shoots and suckers,
which beav 110 blossoms and come out
near the ( loini land sit intervals along
the main mock, Pruning away these
surplus shoots and tying the plants to
supports exposes the fruit to the sun
-1 >,'ht and favors early development to
a marked degree. Tomatoes thus
trained ripen about two weeks iu ad
vance of those which are allowed to lie
on the ground, are freer from root and
larger. The crop per plant is less
than by the ordinary method, but he
eaii'.t of the higher prices obtained for
the fruit the profits are larger.—New
FiUgland Homestead.
rVL't'TVATINO STRAWIU'RI!IKS.
'the strawberry leaf disease, Known
as the spot, has been much more inju
rious during the last quarter oi' a cen
tury thsu it was iu former times; and
growers are looking about for somo
explanation of the spread of this trou
ble. In almost all cases a new va
riety "runs out," as it is called, and
chiefly through tho operation of this
disease. New varieties are continu
ally being introduced—not becauso
they are much better than the va
rieties that liavo preceded them—
but on account of the older varieties
going back ; in fact, no one will con
tend that the strawberries of to-day,
as a rule, are even as good as they
were in former times. It is thought
that the old method of cultivation,
which moderns have laughed at, might
not have been such bad practice after
all. The practice was to grow the
strawberries in beds; as soon as the
crop was gathered the leaves were
mown off with the scythe and burnt,
and a new crop of leaves came up be
fore winter. With the progress of
vegetable physiology this was thought
to be very bad practice. The argu
ment was that leaves make food, and
the rnoro leaves the better. This
would be true if the leaves were
healthy leaves; but diseased leaves are
worse than no leaves at all. No one
ever thought of the strawberry spot in
those days; in fact a specimen of this
disease was rarely seen. It is now be
lieved that the practice <tf mowing and
burning the leaves was .advantageous
in this, that it destoyed v all attempts
of this fungus to propagate itself and
was therefore beneficial rather than
otherwise. It is an illustration of a
point fequently made thatithough our
forefathers were not alileito philoso
phize on their garden practices as
closely as we may, they were able to
find out a great deal from*nothing at
all but practical experience. One thing
our strawberry amateurs might do,
which is not done now, and that is to
cut off during the season and burn
every leaf which shows a spot as soon
as it is observed. This probably would
preserve their favorite varieties from
degenerating.—Median's Monthly.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Clean up the garden and sow tur
nips.
To grow fine strawberries keep off
the runners.
Many a colt is ruined by an impa

Soil and location will change the ap
pearance of fruit.
Radishes for winter may be sown in
the late summer.
It has been proved many times over
that speed follows blood lines.
An unsound stallion is a menace to

No poor man can afford to buy a
poor liorse, aud no rich man will.
Put on your best nature and your
most gentle manner when doing the
milking.
Turn the work horses out into a lot
on hot nights rather than confine in
hot stalls.
Whenever water is given to plants
enough should be used to wet the soil
thoroughly.
If seed are gathered, care should be
taken to dry them thoroughly before
storing away.
Don't run cows during hot weather.
Let them goto and from the pasture
at their own gait.
Horses have dispositions like men.
Some are good, but more are spoiled
in the bringing up.
Sheet zinc cut into wedge-shaped
strips make the best aud most con
venient labels for fruit trees.
The cleaner and neater the fruit, the
quicker they will catch the eye of the
buyer and the readier the sale.
AVith all kinds of fruit trees it is
I better to have one strong limb or
I branch than several weak ones.
It is generally admitted to be easier
' to change the pacing gait to the trot
ting than the trotting to the pacing.
Cultivation of all young trees, at
least for some years after planting out,
is essential to their vigorous growth.
It costs but little to make a start
with grapes. They come into bearing
early and are productive and easily
managed.
Do not wait till the oil is all gone
; from the jug, then stop the mower
half a day while you "goto town" to
j have it filled.
It is better to remove, with a rub of
tho hand, sprouts and suckers while
I young and tender than to wait till a
[ knife or saw is needed.
A few carriage bolts costiug a few
cents may save a trip to town in the
midst of haying. Have some of various
I sizes and lengths in the tool box.
Green stuff from the garden or or

£ Sift together thoroughly flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder; rub in the W
W potato; add sufficient water to mix smoothly and rapidly into a stiff batter, W
# about as soft as for pound-cake; about a pint of water to a quart of flour will #
m be required—more or less, according to the brand and quality of the flour m
