severe one but grass is usually the victor
in such contest We have not had much
experience in this renovation of old gar.
dens but II does appear 70 US that if the
old, decayed wood was cut ont from the
currsnt bushes, the grass roots all forked
out and then liberal application Of
manure given them, the fruit would be
very much improved in quantity and
quality. Even a mulching of straw, tan.
bark leaves, or any other material that
would cover the soil and keep IL moist
during summer, would be highly bene-
fetal Besides assisting IN keeping the
earth moist, this mulching will keep down
the weeds.
In forking up the soil about these old
plants, 1t is not necessary to dig very deep,
nor so close TO the plants as TO disturb
their roots. Rsspberries that produce
suckers from their lateral roots are very
likely 10 become so crowded that none of
the canes have room 10 grow strong
enough to bear fruit tits necessary, there
fore, TO thin out the plants, leaving
three or four canes in each hill or leave
them in rows say three feet apart, and
the canes about foot apart in the row.
Mulching will also beneftthe raspberry
nearly as much as the currant, particularly
on light soils. Hardy varieties of the
raspberry should be pruned now If u has
not already been done. Our plan is to
shorten the main stems nearly one.half,
and the lateral branches twothirds-thAt
is, leave only one third Of their original
| length.
BY shortening the branches, we compel
the lower and stronger buds TO develop
into fruit branches, while il the cane is
left entire, the smaller buds on the upper
portion grow, and the lower ones remain
dormant Even the dwarfgro wing varie.
ties of raspberries are benefited by prun.
ing them in the spring, and all canes that
have been partially killed should be cut
back IN live bud. Blackberries should
be treated very much the same as rasp.
berries, although they will usually bear
more neglect; but digging deep near the
bearing canes is very likely To- injure them,
because more or less of the roots will be
broken. The small fibres on the roots of
blackberries are generally at considerable
distance from the base of the canes, and
are connected with them by large, coarse
roots containing scarcely any fibres, ex-
cept at their extreme ends, many feet from
the stems.
II, in digging about the canes, one OF
more of these roots are broken, the
source from which the fruit obtains its
substance is cut off, and it fails in conse.
| quence. Too much care can scarcely be
| given in working the soil in spring about
rasperries and blackberries still it is very
necessary that the surface should be
stirred.-HearM and Home,

ClOtted Cream.

AN American visitor to the celebrated
dairies in Devonshire describes the pro-
cess of making "clotted cream" well
known English delicacy. 1t has pecu.
llarly pleasant taste, and is largely used,
with sugar as dressing, for fresh fruit, pud.
dings, and especially for the famous goose
berry pie:
"The milk is strained in large, deep
pans, and put in the dairy house, where it
is left from eight to ten hours. 1t is then
taken out and scalded by placing the pan
in an iron skillet, partially filled with wa.
ter, upon the range. At the bottom of ofthe
skillet there is CRATE on which the pan
rests, So as to prevent burning or scorch-
ing.
The milk is slowly heated to near the
boiling point, or until the cream begins to
show decidedly marked circle or erin
kle around the outer edges and when
the first bubble raises the surface of the
cream It must be Immediately removed.
some experience is necessary in apply
ing the heat to have it just right; other
wise the cream is spoiled. When proper
ly scalded, the milk is removed to the
dairy, where 1t stands from twelve to
twenty'tour hours, according TO the con-
ditlon of the weather, where the cream is
in thick compact mass, an inch or more
deep. 1t is then divided with knife into
squares of convenient size, and moved
with skinner"

How TO Make Toast.


THE philosophy of making toast should
be understood in order to make it well.
Ii is not merely in brown outside that
good toast consists, though this is the great
distinguishing point, and is of benefit.
There is something relishable in fine
brown crust whether of toast or in the
losL IL is formed by the changing of the
s'arch Into deXtrine or gum, and hence the
odor or flavor of toast and of fresh. baked
bread.
We then desire to get this favor. But
more. The inside of the slice is changed
from stale to fresh or new bread. This in
consequence of the steam which is enpen-
dered by the heat, initiating the moisture,
and expelling it from the gluten, driving
It into the starch which has assumed a
hard OF CLASSY appearance, and converts
II into mucilage again. In this state, hot
from the fire, it should be eaten, whether
soitened on the outside with cream, or
taken dry with butter.
There is in toast a great advantage
over fresh baked bread in point of health
Ihe germs of ferment die in old bread,
especially II permitted to become dry or
kept long. In new bread the heat, 2i2 g +,
is not sufficient TO DESTROY the spores
Hence, in toast, you eat new bread with.

bread light and soft aud porous inside,

experiments, found that this change, from

to the bread, so that old bread may be

In toasting, Soyer's rule is probably the

rather little than much browning and the
slices should be quite thin, say quarter

The philosophy in browning is TO take

Where the toast accumulates, keen in a

Poultry in Large Numbers.


Tug london FItld lately had an article
on the failures that seemed 10 have uni.
versally occurred in attempts TO keep
fowls in large numbers. In conclusion Il
says:
There are two reasons for this inevitable
result one is, that when large number
OF fowls are crowded together OF kept In
one place, the ground becomes tainted
with manure, and disease invariably breaks
out. This is more particularly true of
chickens, for In every attempt 70 rear a
large number in confined space, the NOR
tality is excessive.
The employment Of an incubator IN this
climate will always be found q failure, for
this simple reason that IL Is impossible TO
rear the chickens when they have been
hatched, The Matching process Is sufii.
ciently easy but chickens are Of no value
whatever without you have hens 10 brood
them. The only manner In which an in
cubator can be usefully employed is by
Matching an extra number Of eggs 80 as TO
give each hen full brood OF chickens.
Used in this way we have known small
incubatOis very servioeable; but when
employed TO hatch chickens that are to be
reared by artificial mothers, we have never
seen them used with advantage.
