IntnrBtPrt lu matter properly belonniuic to tntsae
partlnfcnt. Chicken Cholera.
Having seen so many cures for chicken
cholera I will give you my remedy.
First, I change my breed every year or
two and I keep the coop clean, and
whitewash inside and and outside, mix
ing about one pint of coal oil to a gal
lon of whitewash. I have done this
for the last thirty years and never lost
any chickens by that disease, while my
neighbors have lost all their poultry all
around me at different times. I am also
careful not to let a fowl get more than
two or three years old. Try this and
save your chickens.
II. FOULK.
Splendid Wheat Yield.
Joseph Hutchinson, Esq.', whose farm
adjoins the borough of Oaysport, Pa.,
has a field containing tweuty-Bix acres
from which he cut 089 dozens of Fultz
wheat, which yielded the enormous
quantity, when thrashed, ol 013i bushels
by measurement, or 089 bushels by
weight, making an average of over 35
bushels per acre by measurement and
of 38 bushels by weight. The truth of
this statement can be proved by Mr.
Daniel Delozier and William McGono
gle, both reliable citizens.
Gathering Late Apples.
The economy of apple-gathering is
contained in this rule : Do not free ze,
bruise or mix your apples. As frost
causes early decay, the weather Bhould
be sharply watched. To be sure, the
leaves protect apples from the cold, but
this protection is not perfect, and the
apples will not thus be equally good.
The fruit should all be picked by hand,
the scattering ones which cannot be
reached should be separated from the
rest when knocked oft', since the bruises
induce decay. Two or three days should
be allowed for the apples to dry and
cool. In barreling the assorted apples,
fill each a little more than full, so that
when the heads are pressedjdowu they
will not shake. It is better to keep the
different varieties separate, and if an
orchard is to be set out, to choose but
few varieties, since thus you will have
enough of each to make a fair market
ing. Cooking Potatoes.
To most of us the food we eat is val
uable because we like it, and not so
much because we consider ourselves a
machine on which profit and loss is to
be nicely calculated in regard to what
we eat. But, as perhaps some of our
readers are chemically or financially
disposed, and have a desire to know to
a penny what their bodies cost, and to
a grain the material of which it is made,
we give the following about cooking
potatoes from an English agricultural
magazine ; As food the potato is valu
able on account of the potash and
phosphoric acid it contains, and it is
of the first importance that the potash
salts should not be lost in the process of
cooking, for it is to these salts potatoes
owe their anti-scrobatic properties.
Potatoes steamed with their skins ou
lose very little potash and scarcely any
phosphoric acid ; while, if steamed after
peeling, they lose 5 and 7 per cent, re
spectively. Similarly, potatoes, when
boiied with their skins on, lose a little
more than 2 per cent, of their potash ,
and about 1 per cent, of their phosphor
ic acid; but, if they are boiled after
peeling, they lose as much as 33 per
cent, of potash and 23 per cent, of phos
phoric acid. Hence if potatoes must be
peeled, they should be steamed, not
poiled ; and, if they must be boiled,
they should at least retain their jackets
duri ng the operation the best way of all,
from a scien title point of view, being to
steam them before peeling, or to bake
them in their skins.
Boston Brown Bread.
One pint each of Indian and Itye
Meal; 1 cup of Molasses: H pints of
Milk or Water; 1 teaspoonful of Soda;
1 teaspoonful Salt. Steam three hours,
and then place in the oven and bake un
til well browned.
C2Do not take up roses uutil frost
sets in, unless wanted for early flower
ing. When potted, cut them back to
the partially ripened wood, and press
the soil firmly around the roots.
C3TA few gallons of gas tar to a
barrel of water, applied with a garden
sprinkler, repeating as often as necessa
ry, is said to be destructive to vine bugs,
cabbage worms, and Colorado beetles.
Tlie largest strawberry farm in the
world is probably that of John It.
Young, about two miles from Norfolk,
Va. It comprises about 200 acres. The
yield lu.t ymr was 2,000 quarts to the
cre.
