COPPERAS FOlt GRAPEVINES.
Copperas haa been tried in France
on grapevines which aro suffering
from an absence of the proper green
color. The results are reported to
havo been most satisfactory. Early
spring is the best time for the experi
ment. In making the application the
surfaco soil abovo tho roots should bo
removed to a depth of several inches
and the copperas water then poured
over tho space and tho soil afterwards
restored.—New York World.
SOUB MIT.K FOR CALVES.
Sotir milk is not fit food for a calf.
It may keep the animal alive, but it
will not thrive or mako a healthy
growth. The sour milk will quickly
curdle in the stomach and cause indi
gestion. It is this way of feeding
a calf that makes so many poor cows,
for an animal that has been stunted in
its early growth will never recover the
loss afterward. Skimmed milk, if
sweet, is good for any calf, but it
should be warmed to eighty or ninety
degrees, as it is most digestible at
that temperature. Fat is not so much
required for a young calf. Muscular
growth is needed more than fat, and
thus makes a better cow than if the
food made a fat animal. It is quite
safe to give a month-old calf a light
ration of ground oats and corn meal,
a few ounces at first, gradually increas
ing.—New York Times.
FATTENING SHEEP.
When the hog has stopped putting
on flesh or fat he must be disposed of,
no matter what the market, for after
that period all food given is practi
cally wasted. But the case is different
with sheep. After reaching their
maximum weight and condition as to
flesh that will eat but little, and this
is amply paid for in tho increase in
quantity and quality of wool. Be
sides prises of mutton sheep aro al
ways better after the weather begins
to get warm, as mutton is moro of a
hot than cold weather food. Again,
fhe market will pay more for nicely
shorn and well handled wool than the
butchers will; and wool can be more
cheaply freighted when packed in
sacks than when on the sheep's back.
Another consideration is shorn sheep,
if well fattened, will soli for more than
unshorn, for the former can be seen
by the buyer at a glance, while the
latter must be carefully inspected, one
by one, and lastly, shorn sheep will
ship more comfortably and be in bet
ter condition when reaching market
than unshorn. These conditions make
all winter feeding most desirable.—
Farm, Stock and Honid.
BEES AND FRUIT.
Tho business of the horticulturist
and that of the apicnlturist are each a
necessary adjunct of the other, sayß a
lady writer. The beekeeper may pay
a wonderful sum for the best bees in
the world, may have them in tho best
of hives with movable frames, queen
excluding honey boards, etc., etc. ;
above the brood nest he may have the
whitest of section boxes, every one
containing a foundation starter; in
fact, havo everything ready to catch
the surplus honey wliou tho honey
flow shall como—if thelandbe not full
of flowers on every hand there will
be no surplus for him. Professor
Wilson has made an elaborate calcula
tion, and concludes that it would re
quire 2,500,000 florets like those
of the white clover to yield oue pound
of clover honey. This gives some
idea of the vast number of blossoms
necessary, as well as tho amount of
labor represented in every honey
comb. The fruit grower may ransack
tho earth for now and improved
varieties; ho may be as skillful as
possible in planting; he may graft
and propagat'3 and hybridize, and yet
if the winds are not favorable and tho
bee does not visit tho blossoms in
search of pollen or nectar tho blossoms
will soon wither and fall and never
produce the fruit for which the blos
soms lived and grew, and for which
the horticulturist hail bestowed upon
tho tree or plant his labor, fore
thought and fostering care. —Chicago
Times.
THE STUDY OF AGRICULTURE.
Agriculture is the basis of our
national progress and prosperity.
While this fact is widely recognized,
yet the study of this most important
of all callings is not placed iu the
curriculum of tho public schools of
the country. Generations of chil
dren pass through life without ability
to distinguish between wheat and
barley when they see it growing. It
seems necessary to be born on a farm
to be acquainted with even the rudi
ments of agriculture. This is all
wrong. Tho stuiJien cf the school
room should be arranged to meet this
oversight. True, men liavo become
famous in many ways, whose sole
equipment was furnished in the com
mon schools of the country, but these
have yet to graduate a scholar who
was ever aided in his life work as a
farmer by the knowledge acquired in
them. The introduction of found
text books on agriculture 111 rural pub
lic schools would remedy this defect
of tho system under which they are
operated. The children of farmers
have as perfect a right to the technical
knowledge of their prospective call
ing, as that such knowledge of things
that nt best arc but raeie accomplish
ments shall be taught. The tendency
coward the latter is very inmifoat in
many directions iu the stii'ln .. of the
public schools. Jt is ulwayr. butler to
teach a lew things that tli ■ student
may be fully acquaintc I with them
lather than to overwhelm him with n
lot of iiccl«»cn trn-h that rut-xr.l .urn in
his lite work. For thai rer.aon agri
culture (should form a promiuent

Wilt M utlru leutt la UC-'dtd at eufl .
as June there is nothing better than
clover. The best time for sowing clover
is in July or the early part of August.
It may readily follow some forage crop
fed off in midsummer. When grown
for forage the clover should bo seeded
at the rate of twenty pounds to the
acre, and will produce ten to twelve
tons of green for age, worth at least a
fourth more than timothy for feeding
purposes.
Oats and peas, sown at the rate of
one and ouo half bushels of oats and
two of peas per acre, will afford excel
lent forage for midsummer. The peas
should either bo plowed into tho
length of four or five inches or elsa
the seed be well covered by use of a
wheelbarrow. The oats should bo
sown several clays after tho peas and
lightly harrowed in. By sowing three
or four small areas one week apart,
starting as early in the spring as pos
sible, this crop will supply fresh,
nutritious forage for about a month,
beginning with the last week in June;
while if the whole is sown at one time
part of the fodder becomes dry and
woody before it cau be utilized.
On fertile sods a second crop of
clover should be available by tho first
of August and will afford tho best of
feed for ten days or two weeks at this
period of the summer.
With most farmers corn is the great
forage crop for late summer, and early
fall feeding. While it is doubtful if
there is any crop that will produce a
larger amount of food material per
acre, there are a number of legumin
ous crops that can be grown with less
drain upon tho soil and will afford
forage of much higher nutritive value
pound for pound. In Southern Now
England aud as far north as Central
New York, the cow pea can bo easily
grown on warm, light soils, while the
soja bean affords a large amount of
excellent forage and can be grown in
nearly all parts of New England. These
crops will afford forage from about the
middle of August till the killing frosts
come.
Late in September it is sometimes
found necessary to use rowen from tho
mowing field and in this case the more
clover there is iu it the bettor. Grasses
when young and tender are more nitro
genous than in the larger stages of
growth, and hence rowen affords a
much better Cood than tho full grown
grasses.
For a late fall feed there is no crop
yet in use equal to barley ami peas.
This crop can be sown the first part of
August on the clover ground, or it
may follow the oats and peas. Two
bushels of peas and one of barley make
a good mixture. Both of these plants
withstand frosts well and make excel
lent growth in cool weather.—New
England Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Give the peas a light, rich soil.
Red raspberries should not be givbfli
deep cultivation.
Do not forget parsley seed. A small
package will yield enough to use all
the year.
Many are discarding the polo lima,
1 and taking up the bush lima bean as
: a specialty.
Young bees are valuable in tho
spring, and none should be allowed to
die from carelessness.
Sow celery seed early. It is esti
mated that one ounce of seed will pro
duce about 2500 plants.
Beeswax will bo darkened if melted
in an iron vessel. It is better to use
brass or copper vessels.
The best shipping crates for honey
are of a single tier, and hold from
twelve to twenty-four pounds.
Basswood is light, white, and freo
from gunimiuess. Nothing so far has
been found to equal it for making
pound sections.
The butter dryer is tho self-describ
ing name of a newly invented machine
that seems to be giving great satisfac
tion in England.
Never set plants of a poor quality.
Poor seed will make a failure, but only
for a single year, while poor plants
last over many seasons.
All fruit plants, including trees,
should have a generous supply of fine,
light-colored, fibrous roots, in order
to be of a vigorous and healthy
growth.
For the potato crop sulphate is
I thought to be much better than muri
: ate of potash, for it gives a greatei
! yield and improves the quality in a
| higher degree.
j The cucumber should not be set in
open ground until about the middle
! of May or until the weather settles, as
|it is a very tender anuual. Plant in
June or July if you want them for
! pickles.
Do not plant potatoes on hard,
! poorly plowed soil, for the crop will
| lie poor, 110 matter how thorough the
! cultivation or how favorable other con
i ditions if the soil is not mellowed
, deep enough.
Open the hives only when it is warm
enough for the bees totly, and then dc
not leave open any longer than neccs-
Mary. The brood may be chilled, and
as there is 110 honey to be gathered,
the bees may take to robbing.
Apiarists cannot We too particulai

UOrSEHOLII AFFAIKH.
IN THE TIAI'YNNY.
It is a vory common thing for young
housekeepers to scorch thoir linen
when learning to iron. Do not be dis
couraged. Wax your irons thorough
ly and keep them in a dry place. This
will prevent their sticking. If you
find a scorched place, expose it to the
hottest rays of tho sun. It will be ob
literated in a short time.—St. Louis
Stai-Sayings.
WASHING COLORED COTTONS.
Dark colored cottons should bo
washed very carefully to obtain tho
best results. The water should be
warm, but not hot, and should be pre
pared expressly for the purpose, noth
ing else having been washed in it.
Cottons, if white, leave lint, which
gathers on dark fabrics. Soap bark
is better than soap, and in any event
should be put into the water and never
applied directly to the fabric. It
should be rinsed in two waters, both
made warm and very dark with blue
ing. If starch is required, ÜBe corn
starch, and instead of water use coffee
freed from every suspicion of grounds.
Boil the starch well; if you will use
gum-arabic instead of tho cornstarch
and dilute it with tho coffee you will
obtain even better results. Iron on
the wrong side with a hot iron. By
the way, never undertake to wash
dark cottons except on a dear, warm
day, when you can get the fabric dried
in a few moments. Much depends on
the drying, and things that will come
from the wash tub in good shape will
streak in drying if the process is long
continued because of an inclement
day. —Washington Star.
GOOD BREAD.
In these days, when housekeepers
are looking carefully into the mere
scientific prepaiations of food, it is an
acknowledged fact that bread grown
iu tho light, both sunlight or light of
day, is more wholesome as an articlo
of food. You will find the yeast cake
you mention a little slow in action,
and it may take longer than you wish
to follow the recipo for day bread.
One point is that tho yeast must bo
moistened first. Now, suppose you
sponge your bread, say at 7 o'clock in
the morning. Your maid is up at 6;
let her take two cakes for each four
loaves of bread. She should put tho
two cakes into a warm bowl and pour
over a half pint of warm water. In a
moment the cakes will soften ; then
stir in five or six tablespoonfuls of
flour, sufficient to make a soft batter;
boat for a moment, stand the bowl in
another of warm water and cover a
towel over both, so that tho steam
will assist the growth of the yeast
plant. Bemember that all plants re
quire warmth and moisture. Now, if
you make milk bread, have ready
scalded the quantity of milk. If water,
put tho water into a bowl, add salt and
sufficient flour to make a batter, which
beat thoroughly. Now, after the maid
has cooked the breakfast—and it will
take not more than a half hour—she
will find the contents of the first bowl
light and foamy. Turn this into the
sponge; give a thorough mixing, and
stand aside in a warm place until it is
very light—about three hours. Then
finish it precisely the same as you
would ordinary yeast bread. When
light, mold; when light again, bake.

A sect ot t asters.
The Jains of India are the champion
fasters or long-distance, do-without
food sect of the world. Fasts of from
thirty to forty days are very common
among this curious sect, and once
each year a "radami" comes forward
and undertakes the "grand fast"—a
period of seventy-five days, during
which time ho allows nothing but
warm water to pass his lips. When
the fast is once begun, the faster will
carry it to the prescribed limit or die
in tho attempt. In curious contrast

The subject of the above portrait is a
prominent and much respected citizen, Mr.
Robert Manson, of West Rye, N. H. Where
Mr. Manson is known "his word is as good
as his bond." In a recent letter to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buf
falo, N. Y., Mr. Manson says :
" Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tSio
best pills I ever took for the liver. All my
friends say they do them the most good."
This opinion is shared by every one who
once tries these tiny, little, sugar-coated pills,
which are to be found in all medicine stores.
The U. S. Inspector of Immigration at Buf
falo, N. Y., writes of them as follows:
" From early childhood I have suffered
from a sluggish liver, with all the disorders
accompanying such a condition. Doctors'
prescriptions and patent medicines I have
used in abundance ; they only afforded teni
gjrary relief. I was recommended to try
r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I did so, tak
ing two at night and one after dinner every
day for two weeks. I have reduced the dose
to one ' Pellet' every day for two months.
I have in six months increased in solid flesh
twenty-two pounds. lam in better health
than I have been since childhood. Drowsi
ness and unpleasant feelings after meals havo
completely disappeared."
Assist nature a little now and then with a
gentle laxative, or, if need be, with a more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom
ach and bowels, and toning up and invigo
rating the liver and quickening its tardy
action, and you thereby remove the cause
of a multitude of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skin
diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers anil
maladies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action of their tow
els, they would have less frequent occasion
V> call for their doctors' services to subdue
attacks of dangerous diseases.

Porcelain Teeth.
Artificial teeth are made of porce
lain. Porcelain is, as everyone knows,
of many degrees of hardness, and tho
greater or less hardness of a particular
kind of porcelain depends mainly
upon the degree of heat required to
fuse tho ingredients of which it is
composed. The porcelain used for
artificial teeth consists chiefly of a
very fine kaolin, such as that used by
the Chinese ceramic artists, with fel
spar for tho enamel. The teeth,
with platinum pins inserted in them,
are exposed to a degree of heat so
high as to melt any metal less fusible
than platinum, and this baking brings
them to a state of hardness sufficient
to resist the wear and tear incident to
the work they have to perform.—
Courier-Journal.
That, of all known agents to accomplish
this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are
unequaled, is proven by the fact that once
usea, they are always in favor. Their sec
ondary effect is to keep tbe bowels open and
regular, not to further constipate, as is the
caso with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con
stipation, piles, and indigestion.
The " Pleasant Pellets " are far more effec
tive in arousing the liver to action than "blue
pills," calomel, or other mercurial prepara
tions, and have the further merit of being
purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system ; no particular
care is required while usiog them.
Composed of the choicest, concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much mora
than is that of other pills found in the mar
ket, yet from forty to forty-four "Pellets"
ure put up in each sealed gl~as3 vial, as sold
through druggists,and can be had atthe prica
of the more ordinary and cheaper niado pills.
Dr. Pierce prides himself on having been
first to introduce a Little Liver 1111 "to tho
Amorican people. Many have imitated tbom,
but none have approached his " Pleasant Pel
lets " in excellence.
For all laxative and cathartic purposes
the "Pleasant Pellets" are infinitely supe
rior to all "mineral waters," sedlitz pow
ders, " salts," castor oil, fruit syrups (so
called), laxative " teas," and the many other
purgative compounds sold in various forms.
Put up in glass vials, sealed, therefore
always fresh anil reliable. One little "Pel
let " is laxative, two gently cathartic.
As a "dinner pill," to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, nothing equals
them. They are tiny, sugar-coated, anti
bilious granules, scarcely larger than mus
tard seeds. Every child wants tbeni.
Then, after they are taken, instead of dis
turbing and shocking the system, they act in
a mild, and natural way. Thero is no re
action afterward. Their help lasts.
Accept no substitute recommended to be
" just as good." They may be better for tha
dealer , because of paying him a better profit,
but he is not the one <rho needs help.
