When to Use Flioftpliatcn.
The tendency of phosphate to revert
to insoluble forms when brought in
contact with dry earth makes it neces
sary to use it only in places and at
times when plenty of rains will supply
the moisture to keep its plant food in
condition for use. Hence phosphate
is much more effective used 011 fall -
grown grain, or on the crops planted
very early in the spring. If a long
spell of dry weather follows its appli
cation the phosphate will revert so that
water,alone will not again dissolve it.
Hut in soils which contain any organic
matter the water they contain must
have an excess of carbonic acid gas,
which is derived from the decay of
plants. It is this carbonic acid gas in
spring waters that makes them bubble
up as they come out of the earth and
adds greatly to their palatableness. Iu
their passage through the soil these
waters have come in contact with much
carbonic acid gas, and have necessarily
absorbed a part of it. But on lime
stone soils this spring water has already
absorbed as much lime as it can hold.
Consequently it is less valuable to
make phosphate of lime soluble than
is ordinary rain water which has ab
sorbed its carbonic acid ga3 directly
from the atmosphere only.
The best effects of superphosphate
of lime are to be fouud 011 laud that is
low, moist and full of vegetable mould.
This usually has but little lime, and
jvliat carbonic acid gas its water con
tains is free from that mineral. This
is very important. The value of super
phosphate consists very largely in its
excess of phosphate over the lime it
contains. So soon as more lime is
added, this excess combines with sul
phuric acid, which must exist in all
superphosphate. This makes it mere
ly sulphate of lime. Hence the prac
tice of some farmers in extending their
high-priced superphosphate by adding
to it of gypsum or land plaster is a
great mistake. At its best, the super
phosphate contains all and more of
this gypsum than the soil requires.
To add more only puts the whole of
the phosphate into a condition where
it can only be dissolved when brought
into contact with carbonic acid gas, or
some other equally powerful solvent.
Both potash and salt are excellent
for top-dressing land on which phos- !
phate has been drilled with the grain
crop. It is not best to try to mix these
and drill them together. The super
phosphate in moist soil will help the
plant best alone. Besides, both salt
and potash draw moisture from the air
so rapidly that when mixed with phos
phate they make it too wet and sticky
to drill evenly. But applied in spring
or fall, phoßphated winter grain, either
salt or ashes, will produce a very re
markable effect in enabling both the
grain crop and the grass or clover
seeding to utilize the phosphate ap
plied the fall before. Salt especially
should always be used on phospliated
land in the spring. It will be all
washod away by winter and spring
freshets if it is applied in the fall.
Practical Sheep Husbandry.
The sheep should be clipped clean
about the hind parts, lest filth may
gather aud attract the blow flies. A
mixtnre of glycerine and fish oil in
equal parts is excellent to smear those
parts sheep as a preventive of fly
blow.
I Never force the sheep to jump over
bars or fences half let down. Their
weak shin bones may be snapped like
glass rods by catching between the j
rails.
The hateful flies will soon be at
work. Prepare for them by using tar
on the sheeps' noses; it drives off the
flies by its smell; or the flies stick in
it. If mixed with grease of any kind,
half and half, it will be less apt to
harden and dry.
While at pusture the sheep should
have acoess to salt. A flock will visit
the salting place twice a day regular
ly. Salt is a good tonic and prevents
indigestion which produces destruc
tive diarrhoea, all the worse when the
weather is warm.
Plant a bit of fodder corn, none of
the sweet kinds, in readiness for the
weaned lambs by and by. It is food
and cool shelter for them. Plant iu
rows thirty inches apart, and plant
ten inches apart in the rows. By
using tho succeeding early kinds one
may have fresh feeding all through the
summer and up to frost.
Before the flock is turned out for
the summer, the feet should be put in
the best condition. The sole should
be pared and the toes clipped, other
wise there may be trouble with sore
feet.
It is a common impression, it can
not he called a belief, that sheep do
not require water. A flock that has
access all the time to it will drink
several times a day.
Ewes from which the lambs have
been taken Bhould be examined twice a
day to avoid injury to the udder. It
is as necessary to dry off a ewe as it is
to dry off the cows. Stocking of the
udder is also a bad thing in warm
weather, on account of the danger
from blow flies, should the udder
fester and discharge matter.
In docking lambs it is always nec
essary to draw the skin up toward the
root of the tail before the cut is made.
The cut is best made by a pair of
shears, so that it shall not bo too
smooth; a common pruning shears is
• good thing to make the cat with, as
a rough wound does not bleed much.
But the bleeding may be checked any
how in a short time by applying a
little powdered blue-stone, to the
wound and drnwing the wool over it
by means of a little tar. This is all
that is needed.
Overfeeding is one of the worst
dangers to which a lamb can be ex
posed. To feed the ewe two ears of
corn over a quart of bran and a hand
ful of oil cake three times a day will
be sure to make trouble with the
lambs, not to mention feeding a pint
and a half of cow's milk a day. Ol
course one wants to do the best with a
pure-bred lamb, hut it must not be
killed with kindness. One of the
special traits of the pure-bred sheep is
that they do better than the oommon
ones on the same feed. Reduce the
ewe's grain; don't give musty hay,
and give no cow's milk to the lambs.
The condition of the newly born
lamb is due to that of the ewe. A
weak ewe will bring a weak lamb or a
dead one, and the cause of the weak
ness may go back for some time. Give
tho weak lambs some cow's milk, fresh
and warm, and give the ewes a bran
mash with two ounces of linseed meal
in it. Diarrhcea in yearlings may be
treated by giving only one single tea
spoonfnl dose of castoroil inorningand
night for a few days. To make a ewe
own her lamb put a little salt with
some sugar in it on the wool, and put
the ewe in a narrow stall, and tie her.
Enclose the lamb in the stall with the
e^e.
Sheep are hardy animals, and if
kept dry and well fed will thrive and
enjoy life in the coldest weather, be
iug naturally provided with a warm
coat that is impervious to the cold if
it is only dry. A dark, warm stable is
as a dungeon to them; they will pine
and fret and in this condition a sheep
will not eat. The confinement of
your ewe is doubtless what is the mat
ter with it. The feeding, too, is not
sufficient, and that the ewe declined
the rations mentioned shows it to be a
sensible animal. Some grain is most
desirable for sheep in the winter. It
acts well on the bowels, while only
dry fodder, unless it is the best of
clover hay, is not enough to keep them
in good thrift. If only four ounces of
grain is given it will do much good.
Oats is an excellent grain for the
flock. —American Sheep Breeder.
Poultry Pickings.
Pullets do not fatten as rapidly as
hens.
Keep the drinking vessels out of the
sun.
Wheat is one of the best egg-pro
dnciug foods.
Coarse bones in a fowl indicate
coarse meat.
After the breeding season is over
sell the roosters
"Darkness in the comb of a fowl in
dicates indigestion.
Good blood will tell in fowls as well
as in other farm animals.
Using a good spray pump is a quick
way of applying whitewash.
If ohicks are allowed a free run on
light, warm days it will add consider
ably to their vigor.
New blood in poultry is the basis of
beauty, vigor and prolilicness. Intro
duce it at least every two years.
One object in keeping poultry is to
use them as agents in converting grain
into something more valuable.
One good way of provouting disease
among poultry is to breed away from
it; get stock that is free from disease.
A point always to be observed in
shipping poultry to market is to see
that it never gets in later than Friday
morning, as there is not much selling
to retailers Saturday. They lay in
their supply the day before.
Keeping the best of the early hatched
pullets, and especially those that are
from hens that are good layers, is one
of the cheapest and best ways of im
proving the poultry on tho farm. But
in order to lessen the liability of mak
ing a mistake, in a majority of oases it
will be better to select out the number
of pullets desired to keep, and then
mark them in some way, so that in
selling off the young pullets there will
be no mistake. A little care in this
line at the right time will help ma
terially in securing better pullets.
How tli© Moon : Flxen Soft ('rnb Prices.
The prices for the soft crabs are
governed largely by the phases of the
moon. The sloughing season of the
crab is after the dark of the moon, in
creasing as tho moon nears its full.
Operated upon by the unvarying law
of supply and demand, as the supply
becomes more abundant at the moon's
full, prices often drop to ten or fifteen
cents per dozen, while at other sea
souß the fancy prices at from sixty to
eighty cents are received. —Philadel-

Thirty-Nine Years In Bed, Though Well.
Not every one who has come to a
conclusion concerning the pleasantest
way of living has the courage to live
according to that oonviotion, as did a
Devonshire (England) woman who has
just died. Thirty-nine years ago she
decided that the most comfortable
place to spend her time was in bed.
To bed accordingly she went, and, al
though strong and healthy, in bed Bhe
remained during the rest of her life>
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Flowers For the Table.
The housekeeper has often been em
barassed by the difficulty of arranging
Bhort stemmed flowers as a centerpiece
for her dinner table. The long, tall
vases and beakers are of no manner of
use, nor is a bowl much better. The
florists, however, will sell perforated
wire shapes made to fit over the mouth
of any bowl. The shapes rise in the
center and fall away evenly to the
sides, as the top of a loaf of bread.
The perforations are large enough to
admit the stems, but keep the heads of
the short stemmed blossoms from fac
ing through to the water below.
Fresh Air For a Bed-Fast I'atlcnt.
"As all tho world knows, there is no
more perfect means of ventilation than
au open tire," writes Mrs. Burton
Kingsland, telling how to nurse the
sick, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"It is continuous and attended with
no danger of draught. A more equa
ble temperature is obtained with wood
than with coal, and the thermometer
should bo frequently consulted in a
sick room. As fresh air is the best
tonic, it is said that a window may be
opened at the top on a sunny day, no
matter how ill the patient be, if in the
oponing a wooden frame covered with
Hannel is fitted. The air strained
through the woolen material is de
prived of all power to harm. An um
brella covered with a shawl makes a
good screen when the windows are
open, the patient being sheltered un
der it as if in a tent. A folding cloth
horse may also be utilized as a screen
frame. As a person lying on his back
is deprived of the protection of his
eye-lids from the light, the blinds and
curtains should be adjusted with re
gard to that fact. A room a little
shaded is more restful to a person in
illness, but if a patch of sunshine can
be let in somewhere in the room it
makes a cheery spot for him to turn to
if so minded. The Italian proverb
says: 'Where the sun does not enter
the doctor does.' M
Jelly Making.
The three jellies advisable for
housekeepers to make late in the soa
-Bon are quince, grape and wild plum
—the last named being finer for gamo
than any jelly made. The method of
making, after the juice is procured, is
the same for all. Measure the juice
and boil for twenty minutes; add a
pint of granulated sugar—which has
been heated in the oven—for each
pint of the juice, and as soon as it is
thoroughly dissolved skim aud fill
into tumblers, each having in it a sil
ver spoon to prevent cracking. Jelly
BO made will never fail.
To procure the quince juice, just
sover the parings and cores left from
the preserved fruit (from which all
stems and defective parts have been
left out) with cold witer; boil until
Boft, mash and drain. An equal weight
of tag) apples may be added and
eanked with the parings.
The point in grape jelly is to have
the grapes at their best stage, which is
just when they are red, before turning
purple. Ripe grapes, of course, can
be made into jelly, but it is not nearly
BO fine in flavor or color. Stem the
grapes, add a pint of water to six
quarts, heat slowly (mashing them),
and boil gently until all the juice is
freed; strain. Wild grapes make a
fine jelly.
The wild plums must be covered
with cold water, brought to a boil,
gooked to a soft mass, and strained.—
Ella Morris Kretsohmar, iu Woman's
ILime Companion.
Itecipes.
Apple Hankies —Pare five large,
tart apples, remove cores and fill the
cavities with grape or quince jolly.
Arrange on au earthen pie plate,
sprinkle the apples thickly with pow
dered sugar aud strew over them
grated cocoanut. Cover closely and
bike in a moderate oven till tender.
9?rve with whipped cream.
Bread Pudding—One coffee cup of
bread crumbs dried and rolled fine, one
tea cup of sugar, one quart of milk,
one teaspoonful of ginger, a little salt,
three eggs, saving the whites of two.
Bake. Then spread jelly over the top,
and a frosting over this made of the
two whites of eggs, and one table
spoonful of sugar, and return to oven
to brown slightly.
Tomato Salad —This is prepared in
two ways, and is one of the most at
tractive salads made. For both these
the tomatoes should be round, large
and solid, and must be pared without
scalding. They must be kept on ice
until ready to use, then make little
nests of lettuce leaves on a flat dish
and put half of a tomato in each nest.
Put a tablespoonful of mayonnaise ou
each half tomato, and serve immedi
ately.
"Raspberry Charlotte —Soak one
third box gelatine in one-third cup
cold water until soft. Pour on it one
third cup boiling water, stir, add cup
sugar aud cup juice from canned rasp
berries. When the jelly begins to
harden, beat until light; add the
beaten whites of three eggs and the
juice of a lemon. Beat stiff and pour
iu mold lined with sponge cake, or in
cups with a tiny fancy sponge cake in
the bottom. Serve with cream.
A Good Plain Cake—Dry half a
pound of flour, aud when cold rub into
it three ounces of dripping or lard.
Add one teaspooful of baking powder,
two ounces of moist sugar, a teacupful
of currants aud half a teaspoonful of
ground cinnamon. Make all into a
stiff batter with milk (sour if possible),
and bake in a steady oven till a knife
inserted into tho cake will be quite
bright and clean when drawn cilt.
N. B.—Au egg added to the above in
gredients will, of course, improvo the
cake.
The greatest length of England and
Scotland, north and south, is about

Buried with His Money on Him.
Not long ago a miserly person, who
had been teased almost to death by
Ids heirs, endeavored to cheat them out
of his money. Before he died he left
positive instructions that he should be
buried iu a certain suit of clothes. His
wish was carried out, but after the
funeral his surviving relatives could
find no will and no money. Finally
one of them suspected that the old

and suggested that the body be ex

It Was Before the Day of
SAPOLIO
They Used to Say "Woman's Work is Never Done."
Jim and John.
' Jim and John were townsmen and chums,
and went out to see baseball. It was a red
i hot aftornoou. and the bleachers were like
frying-pans at breakfast time. Jim had a
bald head and John had a crick In the
back. They sat for on underdone roast
and laughed at everything. Jim s bald spot
was a shining mark, like a brass door-plate.
A stray ball, fierce und sharp, from a false
bat. struck the spot and ploughed a furrow,
i ft dazed him. Jim's eyes and face looked
like a sick owl's, and John laughed. He
laughed an hour straight along. The game
ran late into twilight. Meanwhile John
had shed his coat, and a cool, damp draft
got in its work on his back. Tho time came
lo leave, but John couldn't. He couldn't
bend or get up. Lumbago had set in In its
worst form. He laughs best who laughs
last, and Jim had revenge. But they got
down town to Jim's room, when he said.
"Here's something all those athletes use
for hurts and ailments, und it's tho best
known euro for lameback." He rubbed it
on John's back and some on hiH own head.
They were both feeling cured and com
, fortable from tho use of St. Jacobs Oil,
which Jim always kept in a handy plaoe.
He was a sport himself and knew what was
best. They went to bod. John laughed in
his sloop. Both rose in tho morning fresh
as daisies: then Jim laughed at John.
