Tho question is often askerl : "What
constitutes good milk." Milk contain
t 1-J per cent of fut and twelve per
cent of solids is considered good
milk. A further qunlific iticn is tlint
it must bo tho product of henlthy cc.ws
milked into clean vessels, and rot ex
pos -d to bad odors, Tho milk from
the station herd rung" from 3 to 7
per cent fut ; tho degree of richness,
however, does not iilono measure tho
vnl'to of tho cow, ns ono giving milk
with a low per cent of fat may mnko
tip in quantity whit it laeks ia rich
ness, while a cow giving a small quan
tity may mako it good by its exceeding
richness nnd persistency ia flow.
There is also n difl'ereneo in flavor,
some being very pleasant and appeti
zing, and that of others has an unplea
tatit taste, and still other milk will
havo almost no flavor. Milk also
differs in its keeping qualities, somo
souring quickly, whilo other milk will
be very slow to sour I'urm, Stock

CARE OF VOfSO TURKEY!.
A young turkey will, ono year with
another, bring a largo profit after
paying for food consumed, and there
is moro certainty of a good price
than on any other farm product.
Almost any farmer can rnie from
twenty to hfty every year. Turkeys
aro roving in th"ir dispositions, and
do not stay around the house, as do
ducks, goeso and other poultry, al
though those roared with hens are
more inclined to do so. The best
placo to keep tho young ones at night,
with a lien, is in a largo box, w ith a
door at tho front, which drops down
for a feeding platform. Cover tho
bottom with somo cut hay or straw,
nnd fasten them in at night. A dry
goods box is just tho thing; roomy
enough for them, so that if the early
morning is wet or cold, they may be
loft inside tho box. Sometimes, iu
inclement weather, leave them there
all day. Two lions, if they agree, may
have their broods together, and thus
save extra boxes. American Agrieul
titriiit. CAUSE OF TjOHS OF rASTURAOR.
Tho failure to cover tho seed is
doubtless tho causo of the very com
mon loss of grass and clover by dry
weather following the seeding, when
the seed has been sown in the old care
less way by scattering it on the ground
to take its chances. Things have
changed greatly since tho land was
first cleared of its forest growth, when
the soil was filled with vegetable mat
ter, and was soft and spongy, holding
moisture firmly and forming a poroi a
.seed bed, in w hich the small seeds sank
easily, and thus secured protection
from tho drying winds that so frequent
ly follow spring sow ing. The land has
now been exhausted, not only of this
soft, spongy matter, but of its first
fertility as well, and this, is to bo
thought of in preparing the land for
the grass seoding. Tho soil now bo--oomos
packed hard and is crusted over
no that the small seeds do not sink into
it, and thus some method of covering
the soeds, as well as preparing the soil
by thoroughly pulverizing it, must be
secured.
And this is done, first, by good
plowing, and then the nse of some
harrow by which the soil is deeply cut
and broken, and turned as by a num
ber of small plows, penetrating as far
us the seed may be properly covered
only, and leaving a greut number of
littlo furrows of mellow soil, that
quickly settles dowu into the hollows
whero the sued fulls, and gives them
the noeded covering. Or the seed it
first sown and the harrow is then used
to covor it, which is then done in the
juost secure manner.
TRAN8PLANTINO TBESS.
Trees may be transplanted in the
fall after the leaves have fallen, or in
the spring before the buds have swollen
ud startod to grow. Any time
when the trees are dormant is fit for
the purpose. Beeds of trees should be
sown in a bed of fine soil, in rows two
ieet apart ud frot apart in the rows.
They are kept free from weeds aa
other plants are, and may lie trans
planted w hen a year old, in the spring.
Tho tap root is cut off and only the
side roots left. These are trimmed a
little, nnd tho trees set in tho ground
wfih tho roots in hs natural a position
as when they were taken tip. Tho
roots must not bo permitted to dry.
Kvergreen trees may bo transplanted
in tho winter by preparing tho new
ground for them in the fall, where it
is necessary on account of the freezing
of tho soil. Tho trees are dug about
in tho fall or before tho ground is
frozen, nnd tho long roots are cut.
The trench is tilled with leaves with
somo loose soil on them. Tho holes
for tho trees aro filled iu the same
manner, nnd when tho ground about
the trees is frozen they aro loosened
and moved to tho new places. Tho
trench around tho roots is then filled
with fresh soil kept for tho purpose,
unfrozen, and earth is heaped about
the trees ami covered with leaves or
brush until the spring; then tho loose
soil is well worked down around the
roots and tho trees grow riirht on.
Largo trees may lis moved safely in
this way. Xew York Times.
MARINO TitK FARM TAT.
In spito of tho general depression
and low price for farm products, somo
farmers manage to hold their heads
above water and even put by a littlo
for a rainy day. How they contrive
to do this is a wonder to their neigh
bors who nro not close observers. The
question is, however, easily answered.
There aro no leaks on those farms.
If a field will not raise n satisfactory
crop of wheat somo other crop is tried
on it until a yield is obtained which
will pay expenses.
These farmers go over their stock at
this season and cull out all that aro
undesirable. Tlu poor milker, the un
promising calves, the inferior pigs,
tho non-laying hens and tho super
fluous males of nil kinds are sep
arated from the rest of the stock and
fed systematically for market.
The Mock which are to bo kept nro
fed on suitable ration, which will pre
pare them to resist the told of w inter.
Their quarters nreelenuod out and
made ready so as to lesson tho discom
forts of the weather as far as possible.
Tho prudent farmer has learned that if
his stock bo properly sheltered and
cared for tho cost of feeding w ill be
considerably lessened.
Farm implements are put away when
no longer needed, instead of being left
to rust in the fields. Fences are re
paired at once, so that nil injury to or
by tho Btock is prevented. In short,
tho leaks aro stopped. The farmer
has applied to his work the samo rules
and principles by which the merchant
nnd manufacturer are guided in
their business, and he reaps his reward.

It was a littlo hangiug reticule. I

wore sewed to each side of a piece the

SHAII JEWELRY MCCH IN OEM AND.
A great deal more imitation jewelry
ia worn than many peopU have any
idea of. The demand for precious
atones of this kind has increased tho
supply, and great efforts aro being
made to meet the wants of the most
exaoting. Some of the imitation work
is so highly finished that it requires a
connoisseur to detect that it is not
genuine. Here and there real stones
are inserted. Particularly is this the
case with turquoises these last being
too expensive to make it worth whilo
to reproduce them. Small brooches
in all sorts and shapes are iu great re
quest. It is quite a mistake to sup
pose that you cannot wear sham in
combinotion with real stones. Noth
ing is easier than to blond the two to
gether so that it ia almost impossible
to tell the difference without a close
examination. In Paris an enormous
trade is done in pins and ornaments
of every kind. For a frano you can
buy a small sapphire and diamond
pin, which if placed among soft laces
looks so real as to baffle anyone but an
expert. At dinuor parties given at
restaurants and theatres muoh sham
jewelry is worn and it has even made
its appearance in London ballrooms.
Earrings are threatening to come ia

needed, that the advance of women ia,

HOW TO MAN AOS VRf.VET.
To remove grease spots from velvet
without injury to the pile taxes the
skill of a professional cleaner. The
best thing for a turn-professional is to
havo another person hold tho velvet
taut wrong side up, whilo she rubs the
spot vigorously with a rag wet in
naphtha. Then pour naphtha upon it,
letting it slowly drip through. Do
not touch tho right side until all the
liquid has evaporated, then brush it
smartly with a soft velvet brush.

RECIPE.
triddled Eggs. Heat the griddle
almost as hot as for griddle cakes.
Butter it lightly and place the eggs
upon it. When they become slightly
browned turn them with a cake turner.
They will become sufficiently cooked
in about a minute nnd a half. If the
griddle is very smooth the buttering
may bo omitted.
Codfish Croquettes. Take equal
pnrts of codfish (squeezed from cold
water iu which it has soaked for five
minutes after being picked into hits,)
nnd freshly mashed potatoes; season
with pepper and roll into shapes be
tween slightly floured hands. Dip in
to egg and roll in fine cracker crumbs.
Set aside for a few hours to become
dry, then fry in deep, hot fat. Serve
with a liberal garnish of parsley for
a supper dish. Make at noon for sup
per, or night before if wanted for
breakfast.
Oatmeal Biscuits. Mix together in
a bow 1 five ounces of whito flour,
seven ounces of oatmeal, three ounces
of white sugar, four ounces of butter
(which latter must first bo dissolvod),
and a quarter of a tcaspoonful of car
bonate of soda. Mix into a paste
with a beaten egg and a little cold
water. It must not be too wet, or it
will be difficult to handle Flour the
board and roll tho paste out thin.
Cut in rounds with a plain cutter, put
the biscuit ou a well-greased pun and
bake about twenty minutes.
Creamed Potatoes. This dish is the
best prepared from new potatoes, but
others can bo used. If now, rub off
tho skins, but do not scrape ; if old,
peel thera before cooking. Cook
quickly in boiling water. Have ready
a pint of sweet cream and milk,
mixed. Put in a spider or Scotch
bowl, and when it comes to a boil add
one teaspoonful of flour, mixed well
with two spoonfuls of butter, aud with
cold milk stir one minute; drain the
water from the potatoes and salt thera ;
remove to a hot tureen and pour
cream sauce over them.
Duchesse Biscuits. Boil half a pint
of cold water or milk, two ounces of
sugar and one-qnarter of a pound of
butter together und stir in about five
ounces of finely-sifted flour J boil to
gether for five minutes ; add a little
flavoring aud one egg (well beaten up).
When thoroughly well mixed, one or
two more eggs may be added, so long
as mixture is not too moist. Make the
paste into small biscuits and bake on a
buttered tin until nicely browned.
Sprinkle caster sugar over them f open
them at the side and put in a little
jam or marmalade. This quantity will
only make a small dish.
