of stewing tomatoes is to choose very ripe

than ten minutes. Another way is to stew
the tomatoes until thoroughly soft, rub them

A Summer Song.

I went fishing, and SO did you,
Fair young Kate, with your eyes OF Dlnei
LaziIy trolling, morning and noon,
Dreamily strolling under the moon;
On the veranda beneath the vines,
LaughingIy throwing poetic lines;
Thrumming on lightest guitar tune
Humming of distant sea and lagune,
OF love unwhispered and deep despair
Was ever fishing so sweet, so rare?
You went fishing, and SO did 1,
COur angels surely ioated by,)
Up from the town to the far blue hills,
From heat and dust to the cool, pure riIls.
But no fish came all the summers day
To draw my eyes from your face away;
And no wish came for fortune-quest,
To draw your heat from its new-found rest.
yearned and watched till, in glad surprise,
A vision Of love flashed in your eyes.
Oh we went fishing, you andI,
In those long golden days gone by.
We went for summers row or sail,
And tremblingly found the " Holy Grail"
The rapturous splendor still is new,
The vision is yet in your eyes Of blue
Come sun, come rain, it is all Gods part;
We only need hold heart for heart;
Through Iife's high noon and the dim decline

reekiDg manure, in which ammonia is formed
and escaping, loses a good deal of its value
in being spread upon a meadow, and exposed
to the sun and winds. But that which II
not in this condition loses very little, and
one overhauling or mixing with muck or
earth will effectually prevent loss. Fine
composts of this kind, with little bone dust
and ashes, is the very best dressing IN wing
lands can have, and it should be applied freely
as soon as the grass is cut. A half rainy
lay is just the time; then, especially if it
rains hard after it is spread, the grass gets
the most benefit, and the quick start it will
make, and the rapility with which it will
cover the manure out of sight will please
every one.

and one not expensive, can be made by boil
ing four pounds Of arsenic and eight pounds
of soda in twelve gallons of water. To every
gallon of this boiling mixture three gallons
of cold water should be added, and the liquid
carefully sprinkled over the walks while it il
yet warm. 1t is desirable to do this in fine
weather and when the walks are dry, so that
the weeds and weed seeds may have full
benefit Of the application. Care must be
taken not to let any of the liquid fall on the

after the poison is put on the walks every

WATERING PLANTS IN Day TNE.-In case
If protracted drouth, 1t is affirmed that sur
face watering has tendency TO draw the
roots to the surface, where the greatest
amount of moisture is 4; and hence, if the
watering is neglected a single day, the roots
will become dry, and the plants wilt To
avoid this result, take a crow-bar or a wood
stake, sharpened, and make among the plants
numerous holes in the ground, SIX or eight
inches deep; and into these pour the water
from the nozzle of the watering-pot, the nose
being removed. Give a heavy dose, and a
half hour afterwards 90 over the ground with
he hoe, stirring and levelIng the surface,
then attach the nose and sprinkle the plants
and the ground very slightly. If this mode
of treatment is properly applied once week
plants will not suffer in any ordinary drouth.

PICK UP THE WRDTALLs.-If fruit growers
will but take the uOle to remove the wind
tails from beneath the trees, and feed them
TO the swine, great check may be placed
upon the increase of that pest of apple grow
ers, the coddling moth. An examination of
this fruit will discover in each apple ma g-
got, or white worm, which is the larva OF
this moth. The egg has been laid in the APP
pie before it had fallen from the tree. IL a
little effort is taken, this nuisance may be
abated, and the numbers of the parent insect
may also be destroyed by lighting fires in the
orchards in the summer nights: the moths
attracted by the light. fall into the flames
and are at once killed.

the offensive odor AS disinfecting agent

WHERE AND How TO ADVERTISE
There is no medium that comes i'll such
close contact with the people a. the
newspaper; and if advertisers only un-
dcr-tood their business they could make
their part of the paper aS interesting rs
any other part of it In many OF the
German'papcrS advertising is carried to
an extent OF which we have no idea
The newspaper is the real exchange.
Everybody goes to it with all his wants
and almost all his woes. The consc-
qucnce is that the sheets are as lively
as ncighborhOod gossip and often the
pages devoted to advertising are the
best parts of the paper. And the
papers are read through. Perhaps
ones next door neighbor has rare
piece of china or a choice engraving to
sell, or he would like to get an odd
number of some serial which Won would
happen to have; somebody, somewhere,
announces something that interests YOU,
and 50 life is made more cndurablc,
trade is quickcncd and wants are sup
piled. We look TO see more general
use Of the advertising columns OF news
papers in this country for all the wants
and queries Of life.
