LEOBORNS TIT AT SIT. Tho Leghorn is ft non-sitter, but the sitting propensity is not entirely lost, as Leghorns will sit if they nro too closely confined anil are fed too highly. We have known them to make tho best of sitters and mothers, and they are also somewhat pugnacious, defending their young bravely against all ene mies. When a Leghorn becomes broody she must not bo condemned because she is inclined to bring off a lot of chicks, for she is not at fault, as the conditions of management govern the matter. —Farm and Fireside. TO MAKE A PERMANENT PABTTRE. It is very doubtful if it will pay any farmer to spend the needed money to mako a permanent pasture, such as we read of being kept up in European countries, unless the land is to be irri gated, when the work may be done with ease. Otherwise one of our hot, dry spells in summer may so injure the grass as to ruin the meadow. The work, however, is done aB follows: The land is first summer fallowed, to get rid of weeds ; then richly manured and fertilized; then reduced to the finest tilth by repeated plowiugs and harrowinps; then sown with such a variety of grasses as will renew them selves as far as possible without seed ing, these kinds being those with spreading roots mostly. Tho bulk of the grass is Kentucky blue, meadow fescue, red fescue, fowl meadow, red top, oat and rye grasses, of each about twenty pounds. This seeding makes a thick growth, and tho well-prepared soil soou has a thick sod on it. Then this is preserved by frequent fertiliz ing, moderate grazing, and fresh seed occasionally.—New York Times. CULTIVATION AS A FERTILIZER I'OR WHEAT. Experiments in wheat culture through five years, at the New York Cornell University Station by I. P. Roberts, indicate* that on strong or clayey lands it is often more economi cal to secure available plant food by extra culture than by the purchase of fertility. In many strong wheat soils there is moro plant food than the variety of wheat grown can utilize, though enough may not be available to produce a maximum crop. In changeable climates the wheat plant is so handicapped at times for want of suitable climate conditions, that it is unable to appropriate much of the available plant food in tho soil, and hence is not often benefited by ad ditional nourishment. The wheat crops in the experiments proved un able to elaborate more food than tho amount furnished by the soil under the superior culture given some of the plats. Tho fitting of the land for most crops is done so badly that under cer tain conditions even a moderate amount of manure or fertilizers may not only fail to increase the vield, but may be positively harmful to the wheat crop to which they are applied. —American Agriculturist. THE MODERN ORCHARD. A change lias come over public opinion. The thick setting of trees in orchards has been largely aban doned, and wide planting is the general practice. Such excellent re sults have been obtained from the change that many progressive farmers have gone still further. Observing that the trees at the ends of the orchard were always the most flourish ing, they naturally set to work to dis cover the cause for tho difference. The explanation was soon found in the greater amount of air and sun the end trees received, and the more ex tended feeding-ground for the roots. Nowadays the tendency among pro gressive growers is to plant a single row of trees arcund a field, and a double row directly across the centre of the field. This gives each tree the advantages formerly possessed by the end trees alone. Jt also makes the orchard less dispersed than it would be if the centre double row were omitted, and offers facilities for culti vating and gathering the fruit as speedily as possible. It would seem as though the day for planting trees in blocks were past, and that old fashioned orchards were doomed.— New York World. BUSINESS METHODS IN FARMING. Every crop planted on the farm, every animal bought and every man hired is an investment, involving sound business judgment, in both the planning and tho management, to in sure a profitable outcome. Too often crops are planted, or stock raised, simply because other farmers raise them, without regard to the cost, the market or the adaptability to the par ticular farm and its equipment. When planted, no account is kept of the ex pense, and not even an estimate is made of the cost, but the crop is sold as soon as harvested for what it will bring and the crop repeated the next season. While it would sometimes cost more than the crops were worth to keep r. detailed set of accounts with each crop, still a simple business like set of farm accounts will furnish the data whereby the profitableness of particular crops, or stock, may be closely estimated, and tlim furnish a safer basis tlißn guess-work for tho abandonment of the crop, or for changing its treatment. Many parts of the estimates made for one year or field would answer for other years and fields. Whether accounts are kept with particular fie ds or crops or not, there should bo an accouut opened with the farm, and others with household and personal expenses. By taking stock each year it can bo de termined whether the farm has been profitable; whether the improvements have exceeded the repairs; whether personal pleasures have been too ex travagant, and whether tho household department has been economically carried ou. Of course there should bo an account for every person with whom a credit busiueas is transacted, for ever} one admits that memory utterly fails in keeping an accurate record of such transactions. Troat the farm as a person and soe whether it can be creditod with a fair balance of profit every new year. If farming is a busi ness, then the keeping of farm ac counts will pay.—American Agricul turist. ACCIDENTS ON TIIE FARM. While it is as desirable to employ n veterinary surgeon in oases of severo sickness or dangerous injuries as it is to employ tho family physician at times, it is well to know what to do in "emergency cases," when something must be done in less time than it would take to get tho regular dootor to the spot, says a correspondent of the American Cultivator. One of theso cases is that of chok ing, which frequently happens when roots aro fed without having been out. If tho obstruction is not large and has passed well down, it is often possible to move it further along by gently pushing down with a stick. A whip handle rounded a little at the end is a good instrument for this purpose. One person should hold the animal's head, so as to bring the mouth and throat in a straight line, and another should use the stick, and at the same time work upon the obstruction from the outside, rubbing it downward. Push firmly but gently on the stick. Another method is to put a stick about as large as one's wrist across tho animal's mouth like a bridlo bit, and tio it fast so as to oblige it to keep tho mouth open. This will sometimes cause coughing, so that tho obstruc tion will be thrown up, or will facili tate breathing until mucous enough has gathered around it so that it will pass downward. If the obstruction is not far down, the animal's mouth may be kept open by a horseshoe or by blocks between the jaws, and ono with a small hand can reach down and withdraw it. Unless something is done soon the animal must choke to death, and time is of moro importance than skill. Cuts that produce profuso bleeding are another sort of cases that need at tention before a surgeon can be se cured. If the blood comes in jets at about the interval of a heart beat it ia from an artery, and a tight bandage botween the wound and body should be applied, then a stout stick placed below and twisted until the blood flows but slowly. If the one who puts it on knows enough of the course of the arteries to bring the knot directly over it it will hasten matters, and this should be a part of tho education of a farmer. If the blood flows in a continuous stream put a wide bandage directly over the wound to keep tho edges to gether, drawing it tightly as can bo done with tho hands. A handful of cotton, or evon of green grass, under tho edges will assist, or ono may hold the edges together while another goes for a doctt>r. We have seen a horse's life saved in this way when the leg was badly cut by tho mowing ma chine, and a man's life saved by the first method when a bullet had cut the artery of the arm above the elbow. In neither case could a surgeon have been brought in season.—Coleman's Rural World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Do not feed grain as an exclusive diet. Tho most successful trainers ara tho tireless workers. If your fowls are not looked after, do not expect too much from them. Pullets and yearling hens aro tho ones to put your dependence upon for a sure profit. Breeders will find more money in raising fewer animals and giving them a little training. AVith beekeeping and fruit growing combiiied two crops may bo mado from the same laud. It is said that colic producod by eat ing honey may be cured by eating a small piece of cheese. Little chicks need feeding overy two or three hours, but as they grow older the time may be lengthened. Berries relieve the soil of very lit tle fertility, and leave it in an excel lent condition for other crops. There is no real rivalry between tho trotter and the hackney. Each is good in his place, which is one that tho other cannot fill. The importance of tho maternal an cestry is now so generally recognized that this is called tho broodmare ago of trotting breeding. For growing berrtes of all kinds se lect well-drained soil on which soma hoed crop was produced last soason, potato ground being best. Lincoln and Cotswold rams, usad with Merino owes, produce largo car casses and long wool, if food supplies aro liberal and good care given. Extracted honey requires less skill, but there is more profit in producing tho best white comb, for which thero is always a demand, and which never suffers from competition with a cheap counterfeit. Some poultrymen ciaim that hens will never eat their eggs if they aro given plenty of broken bone, oyster and clam shells. The best plan is to keep a supply where they can help themselves. Some farmers who have spent a great deal of money and many years in breed ing up a nice class of mares, will fool ishly sell thorn off in a fit of despon dency, retaining only such as thoy could not sell. Bees never make an attack whilo in quest of honey or on their return un til they have entered the hive, says a writer. It i* only in tho hive and in its vicinity that wo may expect them to manifest this irascible disposition. One dollar a year has for years been the average profit of tho well-kept hen, but the improvement male in feeding the last few years and tho hot ter Knowledge now possessed by poul terers are placiug the average higher.

If the housewife is ft good hygienist, sho has a great deal of wool iu her domain, because sho knows better than tongue can tell how necessary all wool garments are to tho preserva tion of health in cold weather. She religiously superintends tho making, washing and mending of these gar ments in all sizes, from those worn by paterfamilias to the minature ones af fected by tho baby, and when tho time of year comes to put them away, she neatly darns even the very tiniest holes, folds the garments smoothly, and envelops them entirely in cotton cloth which she snugly ties with string. Theso tidy rolls or bundles aro thon laid in a trunk or chest, which is care fully closed away from dust. Two or three times during the summer the wools are taken out and hung out ia the air, after which they ara carefully returned to their ootton wrappings again.—Detroit Free Press. TO STIR OR TO BEAT. Every young housekeeper should thoroughly understand tho ilifleronco between stirring and beating. Many dishes are spoilod becauso those things aro not clearly understood. In stirring the object is to combine tho ingredients or to make a subitance smooth. Tho spoon is kept rather close to the bottom and sides of the bowl and is worked around and around in tho mixture until the object is at tained. Beating is employed for two pur poses : First, to break up a substance, as in beating eggs for breading or for oustards; second, for making a sub stance light by imprisoning air in it. This is the case when wo beat the whites of eggs, cake batter, etc. The movement is very different from stir ring. Tho spoon or whisk at every stroke is partially lifted from the bowl and brings with it a portion of the materials that are being beaten, which carries air with it in falling baok. It is not the number of strokes that make substances light, but rather tho vigor and rapidity with which tho beating is done. AVhen using a spoon or whisk for beating tike long up ward strokes, the more rapid the bet ter. The spoon should touch tho bot tom of the bowl each time anil the mo tion must be regulor. Another way to beat is to use the circular motion, in case the side of tho spoon is kept closo to the side of tha bowl. Tho spoon is moved rapidly in a circle, carrying with it a portion of the ingredients.—New York World. REOIPES. Cheeso Cake Pie —Throe eggs, one Cupful of sugar, oua quart of soft smoarkase.

Spiced Rolls for Luncheons—Take a pieco from your bread dough an l roll it out half an inch thick, brush tho top with melted butter, and cover thick with cinnamon and fino white sugar ; commence at one side and roll up as jelly cake ; then cut it an inch thick, anil lay in a pan as biscuit, close together, and let them riso and bake twenty minutes. Chantilly Basket—This basket is pretty, but skill is required to make it successfully. Make a cement of sugar boiled to crackling height.

When wanted, tako it out of the mould, fill it with whipped cream, and it is then ready for tho table. Time, two or throe hours to set. Bermuda Oniono Stewed—Boil the onions wholo for half an hour in water with plenty of salt. Drain and re turn them to tho stew pan, with a small piece of butter or dripping and a little pepper and salt.

Baste them with their own liquor occasion ally, and take cara they do not coo'.c so fast as to cause this to dry up and get burnt. Prince of Wales Charlotte—Lay thick slices of any kind of delicate cake in a deep pudding dish ; over this pour hot, boiled custard, made from the yokes of three eggs and a pint of milk, sweetened and flavored to taste. Do this several hours before tho dish is to be served; just before sorviug, put a layer of sliced peaches or oranges over the cake ; have tho whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth, with a little sugar, and put over the fruit.

Enormous (irowlli of an Industry. Few persons realize the enormous increase of our wool product, which has resulted from proper breeding and good management. In 1810 the number of sheep in the United States amounted to 10,000,000, aud 13,000,- 000 pounds of wool were produced. In 1892 our wool product was 241,- 000,000 pounds, while the number of sheep had only increased to 44,358,- 865. The average weight of fleece had risen from 1.9 pound in 1840 to 5.5 pound iu 1891. The efforts to improve the weight and quality of the fleece have not been confined to the United States. In 1891 the number of sheep and lambs in Great. Britain was returned at 28,732,558, and iu 1893 at 27,280,334. The wool clip iu 1890 was placed at 138,000,000 pounds, and in 1892 at 153,000,000. While wool is cheaper now than ever before, it is also more largely used, so that the increased production is not so diaproportioned as it would at first appear. In 1860 the world's product of wool was 955,000,000 pounds, in 1880 it was 1,626,000,000 pounds, and in 1889 it was 1,950,000,- 000 pounds. Europe is decreasing its ■wool production. North America in creased from 110,000,000 pounds in 1860 to 630,000,000 pounds in 1889. The largest increases were iu Aus tralia, from 60,000,000 pounds in 1860 to 45(1,000,000 in 1889; Rio Plata from 43,000,000 in 1860 to 360,000,000 in 1889.

J| A Remarkable Caterpillar. In New Zealand and Australia they have an animal which, from all ac counts, cannot be equaled by any other animate or inanimate object upon the earth's surface. It is the queerest of the many antipodean won ders and paradoses, and, for the want of a better name, has been called the "bnllrush caterpillar" or "vegetable worm." The native Tasmanian name for the oddity is "Aweto-Hotete." The above ground portion of this veg etable worm is a fungus of the order sphaeria, which grows to a height of six or eight inches. When pulled up by the root, this fungus is found to consist of a large caterpillar, showing head, segments and breathing holes— every detail of the grub being per fectly preserved. On examination of the interior of the caterpillar it is found to be composed of a "punky" looking substance, really tho root of the fungus, which has cremated every fiber of what was once a living, breath ing creature's anatomy. In all the in stances which Buckland records, tho sphaeria had made its attack in the fold of skin between the second and third segments of the caterpillar and had replaced all the animal substance of the creature's body with a hard brown vegetable growth resembling the fungoid growths on blackberry and other vines.—St. Louis Republic. Virtues ol Salt. Common salt is one of the most raluablo remedial agents the world contains. Used as a tooth powder, alono or with a little prepared chalk, it whitens the teeth and makes the gums hard and rosy. It is a good gar gle for sore throat, and if taken in time will benefit, if not cure diphther ia. It will stop bleeding of the mouth, and in warm water is a good emetic and remedy against several poisons. There is nothing better for sore feet and hands than salt and water, and for ordinary sore eyes, though a painful operation, will often effect a coinpleto cure.---Indianapolis News.

The ends of the ribbon should bo sewed together into four loops, two on either side ; the upper "ones should bo a trifle longer than the lower ones. To tie these together the loops are held firmly in the fingers and tho left ones are turned over tho right ones, form ing a knot in tho center, which is either fastened with a buckle or with ornamental stick pins. A frontal bunch of flowers or a low buckle of rhine stones is usually so placed in front of the hat as to preserve the ar tistic balanco when the Virot bow spreads its silken sails at the back. By the way, this pointed eflect of the loops is acquired by drawing the lower edge of each loop tighter than the upper.
