Deserting 1 Rural England. That there is a considerable quan tity of land unoccupied or waiting for occupants in some of counties is only too well known. An estate in the eastern counties, a large portion of which is unoccupied, lias been abso lutely offered to responsible tenants rent free for the first year, the owner > being willing to accept an extremely low rent for subsequent years or to take a percentage of the returns. In some of the southern counties there are plenty of large farms vacant, although these are ill adapted for most occupants. Farmers now prefer land upon which they can keep a large dairy herd or breed a few horses and cattle of high quality. The farms in question are practically sheep farms and of little value for any other pur poses than the production of mutton and barley.—Manchester Guardian.

HFRINO REPAIRS. It pays to look the farm over before tho hurry of spring work comes on, and find out what ought to be done to keep everything about it in good con dition. If time is taken by the fore lock in this matter, a great deal of the hurry and worry of spring work, as usually experienced on the farm, can bo avoided, and the sundry jobs neces sary to keeping things about the place in good shape can be done more satis factorily, because more loisurely. American Agriculturist. POTTING COMPOST FOR PLANTS. The soil used for potting is made of one part of clean leaf mold or decayed sods or rich garden soil free from weed seeds, one part of clean sand from a stream, and one part of thor oughly-decayed cow mauure. For bright flowering plants somo powdered charcoal is often added, this giving great brilliance to the bloom. A good liquid manure for house plants is made by dissolving one pound of ni trate of soda, two pounds of good su perphosphate of lime, and two pounds of fresh wood ashes in a barrel of rain water. —New York Times. TO KEEP HOOS HBAI/THY, Cleanly surroundings, pure, clean, good food of the proper kinds for building the growing frame work whilst growing or for fattening when finishing off is as essential to the health of hogs as to any other animal, says Col man's Rural World, and to reverse these is to induce frailty, weakness, loss of appetite, and, sooner or later, disease. It may be iu individual cases only, or it may attack and decimate the whole herd and bring ruin and dis aster to the owner. Filthy pens, filth fed with food, filthy, rotten, and de cayed food, sour swill, the dead car casses of diseased animals, the drop pings of diseased animals, etc., etc., and a like line of feeding and keeping are all conducive to unthrift and dis ease, just as surely as that dry wood I will burn when heaped upon a big fire, i and we do weli to recognize the tact | and act upon it. Hogs as raised and fed for market nowadays are the merest kind of hothouse plants any how. They are crowded, and crammed, and made gluttonous from their earliest feeding days and unless great care is taken very easily become feverish, ex cited, overheated, and fit receptacles for flouting microbes or other animal- I cultr iu the air, tho grass, or on their food. MAKING AND MENDING FENCES. Building and maintaining the fences on the farm is an item of considerable j expense. It will be found advisable ! to plan the farm so as to lessen the | quantity of necessary fencing as much ! as possible. Iu many cases the greater 1 part of the cultivated land can be put , into one field and in this way a con- j siderable saving be made. What fences are necessary should be j good ones. A fence is intended either ! to keep stock out or in, and if it fails of this purpose it is an expense with out benefit. In the spring go carefully over the I fences and see that they are in good repair, as it certainly is not good ' economy to risk a crop where there is j a chance of stock breaking into it. ! One of the best times for driving posts I is in the spring when the frost is all out of the 2-i ' itnl and the soil is soft. If the posi • well sharpened they can be set more rapidly in this way than in nuy other. At this season there is always more or less time when the ground is too wet to work, and the fences can be overhauled without in terfering with the other farm work. Wire fencing is so cheap and so convenient that it has largely taken ! the place of other kinds. One decided i advantage with it is durability, while j a good barb-wire fence will restrain stock that no other kind of fence j will. One of the best, fences, especially j when small hogs are to be restrained, is made with wire netting eighteen to twenty-four inches high at the bottom and three or four strands of barb-wire ; above this. By using four-point hog wire at the j bottom, making the first three or four strands of this kind, and the rest of j two-point cattle wire, a hog-proof 1 fonce can be made entirely of barbed | wire. When this is done it will nearly always be best to set the posts eight | feet apart, taking care to stretch the wires tight. One important item in a 1 good, all-wire fence is to have good, stout end posts, and to set them deep in the ground and see that they are well braced. A very good fence of all-smooth wire can be made by using nine or teu wires ard putting in an upright stay not further than every ttiree foot. ! Two planks at the bottom and three j or four strands of barbed wire above them make one of the best kinds of j fences that can be built. At present j prices it is doubtful if it is good econ omy to make ati all-rail fence. Work the timber into lumber, ties, posts or cord wood, and a better, cheaper and j more lasting fence can be made buy- | ing wire. One great advantage of a wire fence is that it takes up much j less room ami is much easier kept clean.—St. Louis Republic. POTATO RAISING MADE EASY. In deciding upon a specialty, loca tion must be considered, thinks C. li. i Chapmnn, of New York. The largest | part of the potato crop must bo tfro j within a few miles of a shipping str.- 1 tion, as tht bulk makes too much cost for hauling long distances. Thirty bushels at twenty cents per bushel, 1 where but one load can be drawn per day, little more than pays the cost oft hauling. 11-i not be handicapped from the start in planting ground tin- i suited, or illy prepared. I 'otatocs require mellow soil; depth and looseness are more necessary than richness. The |ionr hemlock, yellow land of Tioga Oouutv, New York, yields the finest potatoes brought tj tl»g >'T<W Yvrk market. With UK- I phosphates have proved valuelosa; horse manure spread on clover sod a year previous to planting is the best preparation. The land is plowed in the fall, twice dragged in the spring, with a spring tooth harrow. The drills are marked out three feet apart with a two-horse reversible plow, let ting the plow run as deep as when the land was lirst plowed, turning all fur rows down hill, which forms a bank on the lower side. Where land is steep the soil cannot be worked up to the hill from the lower side. The other way is marked with a narrow toothed marker, which drags some fine earth back into the furrow, which makes a perfect seed bod. The cut seed is dropped and stepped on by boys. With the same plow and one horse walking in the trench, the seed is covered, throwing the soil the same way as before, not back. The tubers are covered six to eight inches deep and the ground is two-thirds re plowed. The potatoes will be a long time in coming up, will escape the first crop of bugs, will withstand drouth, can be harrowed several times, and, best of all, will be strong, rank growers, soon shading the ground with their foliage. I have never yet found a new tuber below the piece planted, nor above that point on the stalk which first saw the light, no matter how much soil was piled around it afterwards. Therefore it is best to plan so as to have a long bearing stem, with tubers attashed far enough frjia each other to expand fully, instead of a hat full of the suae of hens' eggs at tached to two inches of stalk. From the time the potatoes are plant ed until they break through the ground, they are dragged several times with a heavy two-horse spring drag, drawn in the same direction they were covered, but not across the furrows. This" levels down the two furrows par tially, and forms a rounded hill, com pletely mellows the soil in the hill, kills all weeds, can be done by a boy at a very small expense, as compared with cost of cultivating, and is infinite ly better iu the quality of work done. By this process no hoe ever goes into the field, nor any snnburned potatoes come out. The root growth is enor mous ; some of the roots aro twenty inches long before any tubers have set. The after cultivation is very shallow to keep the ground from crusting over after rains, and to keep the soil fine and mellow, so as to serve as a mulch iu times of drouth. Select some largo yielding, medium late, disease resisting, long white po tato, and the battle is luilf won. Round potatoes are not favorites in the mar ket, and peal to waste. Do not let your seed sprout. In a trial row I cut the seed early last season, placed it in crates and covered it with land plaster, which kept it cool; when planted the buds were swollen full, but not enough to break oft'. Thus treated, it gavo the largest yield of any of my trial rows. My rule is to seed according to the quality of the land. The poorer the land the farther apart the hills, and the less seed.—American Agricul turist. FARM AND GARDEN' NOTES. A hen should lay about twelve dozen eggs a year. Always see that the milch cow has a good milk-forming ration. You can feed clover to laying hens four or five times a day with profit. Bo sure to fix up a warm poultry house for next winter. Cold hens are profitless. Sprinkle a good dressing of copper as under the grapevines as a remedy for mildew. Land that cannot be profitably culti vated may often be planted with trees to advautage. Between hay and graßs is a precari ous period for the cows. They will bear attention. In the growing of largo strawberries a rich soil thoroughly prepared is an important factor. Good drainage should always bo pro vided before the planting is done, rather than afterward. Unless a sow has shown characteris tics of early maturity she should not be used for breeding purposes. A weak, delicate horse is poor prop erty. Breed for vigorous action. Breed sound mares to sound stallions. Tn building your poultry house don't put too much glass in it. One third of the south front is sufficient. The best time to prune the plums is in the spring, between the last heavy freezes and the breaking of the buds. Bones make a good fertilizer if buried near the grapevines. Old boots and shoes may be utilized in the same way. If winds break oft' any of the limbs of trees, the stubs should be cut off close and smooth and the wounds cov ered with paint. If given plenty of room the white and sugar maples are fine door yard trees for shade. A lawn set with maples and evergreens presents a hand some appearance. Old geese are better layers and mothers than young ones. As the young geese are in greater demand in the market it would be advisable to keep the old ones for breeding, as they are prolific for years. If certainly requires as much labor to make a pound of poor butter as it does to make a pound of the best, and usually it takes more labor, as it is not churned so quickly and the butter milk is not so easily worked out. This is pretty well known to any dairyman who lias made both kinds. Grapes, easily grown, are in the front rank of all fruits and should be enjoyed in abundance by any family having a vacant space of a few feet to (jive foothold for a vine.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. THE HAT QTO.T. About the latest Addition in b*d covering is the hay qnilt. It is t In of flannelette, cretonne or wool and nn armful or two of hay. The goods are sowed strongly across the top and bottom and down one side, and qnilt ed across from side to side at dis tances of abont fourteen inches. The hay is putin lightly and the remain ing side sewed down. When tho hay becomes limp hang the quilt before the fire, and it soon becomes orisp again. The warmth of these qnilts cannot be realized except by those who have tried them. In making these quilts they should be made quite as wide as the beds they are intended to cover. They are equal in warmth to two or three blankets. Snch quilts are much used by the peasantry in the Swiss mountains, who appreciate the warmth they afford. — Detroit Eree Press. STRAWBERRY BTTN PRESERVES. It is a curious fact, but well known both to scientftc folk and to experi enced housewives, that the direct ac tion of tho sun is at once surer and more satisfactory than that of any other known heat. So when we learn it is a tradition of old Virginia cook ery to preserve strawberries in the sun in place of over the stove thero is lit tle occasion for surprise, but only an opportunity to realize how much those famous cooks can teach us. The berries treated after the follow ing recipe are both richer and more perfect than those prepared in any other way. The object of the glass is of course only that of concentrating the heat, and the effect is not dissimi lar to that known to every child who has played at the old trick of burning the skin by catching one of old Sol's rays upon a bit of broken glass. The peculiar purity of the sweetness combined with the succulent redness in this sun-cooked preserve gives a suggestion of some oriental conserve. The berries seem to be permeated with the sun's sweetness in addition to their own, and the syrup become rich, pure and clear as syrup can be. The berry retains its shape and comes unbroken from the jar, which alone is cause suf ficient for recommending this espe cial preserve. I trust enough has been said tom- Bure « trial by every woman who loves a toothsome dainty ; certainly those who know the luxuries with which a Virginia dame of the old school fills her closet will realize how lucky she is who finds these secrets out. The Virginia rule requires three quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of strawberries. The sugar is mixed with jtifct enough water to wet it and put onto boil. It is to be taken off before it thickens and ponred over the strawberries. Then the ber ries are set in the sun two days, covered with a pane of glass. They are occasionally stirred. On the third day pour off the syrup and boil it again—it will be found much thinned by the juice of the fruit. Wliilo boiling drop in a lump of alum the size of the tip of your lit tle finger. Pour the hot syrup over the berries and set in the sun again, under glass. The next day pour all into tho preserving kettle and boil until tho berries plump up. Then set in the sun again for a day. The next morning seal the preserve iu small jars with brandied paper on top. Strawberries preserved in this man ner never mold or ferment. They are delicious for roll pudding, for filling tarts, for layer cake and to serve with glass custards, but most toothsome of all with Old Dominion "beaten buscuit." SEASONABLE BtfCIPES. Rhubarb Pudding—Butter a deep dish and spread thickly with bread citimbs; over this put a layer of rhu barb, sliced but not peeled ; sprinkle thickly with moist sugar and repeat the layers until the dish is full, letting the top layer be of crumbs and being careful that the sides of the dish are well lined with the same. Hake for an hour, until well done. Flame Pudding—Beat two ounces of butter to a cream and add two of sugar and two of flour, the yolks of Ave eggs beaten, and the whites whipped stiff ; flavor with grated lemon peel and thicken to a batter with crumbs of stale sponge cake. Boiling in a mold for one hour and serve with any nice pudding sauce, making a de licious dish.—American Agriculturist. Curried Veal—Slice one onion and an apple anil put into a saucepan with an ounce of butter and a clove or gar lic ; stir until they become nicely browned; add a tablespoonful of curry powder and half as much flour; when smooth pour in a pint of boil ing water. Add two pounds of lean veal cut in pieces an inch square; simmer until tender, season with lemon juice and salt, and serve with rice on a separate dish. Poached Eggs With Onions— Variety in cooking is never more wel come than in spriug. A very appetiz ing lunch or supper dish is made by frying half a dozen medium-sized sliced onions iu a little butter, or mixed butter and drippings, until nicely browned. They should not be reeking with fat when done, and what little there is 011 them must be drained off; season with salt and pepper; lay on six poached eggs, sprinkle with a very little cayenne and give just one squeeze of lemon juice over the top. A nice sauce to pour over poached eggs is made by simmering four table spoonfuls of any good gravy with four of water and two of good vinegar; season with' salt end pepper; stir in very slowly, so as not to curdle, two well-beaten yolks of eggs, and as soon as it thickens pour over some poached eggs. Do not allow the sauce to boil, cr it will not be at its best. The Area ot Pittsburg.

'I'D the sightseer the surface of this wonderful lake appears as if it were a sea of red hot water dashing ngainst the cliffs which surround it on all sides to a height averaging 100 feet. J. J. Williams, of Honolulu, who probably knows more about the volcanic condition of the island than any other living man, says that "this rushing, restless, heaving lake of boil ing fire never remains silent or calm for a single instant." —St. Louis Re public Mrs. Alex. Robertson, of Half Rock, Mef cer Co., Mo., writes : " For twenty yeara, I suffered with womb disease and most of the time T was in constant pnin which rendered lifo a great burden, I cannot express what I t-uffered. I had eight doctors and all the medicine I liad from them failed— the one after the other. 1 was nervous, cold hands and feet, palpita tion, headache, backache, constipation, leu corrhea and no appetite, with bearing-down pains. 1 got so weak I could not walk around. I had to keep my bed, thinking I would never get any better. One day my husband got one of your little books ana read it to me. Ho said there was nothing doing me any good. I said I would try Dr. Pierce's Favorite. Prescription. I did trv it. After the first few weeks ray appe tite was better ; 1 was able to sit up in bed. 1 wrote to tho World's Dispensary Medical Association, at Buffalo, N. Y., aud described my case ; they sent mo a book on woman's diseases. I read carefully and followed the directions RS near as I could and took the medicine for two ye.-.rs. With the blessing of God and your medicines, 1 am entirely cured. That'was three years ago."
