4. Let everything used for the purpose
be delicately clean and dry; bottles espe-
cially 80.
2. Never place preserving pan yRdt

serves liable to burn to, as IL Is called chat
Is to say, adhere closely to the metal, and
then burn il should rest always on q ire
vet, or on the lower bar of the kitchen
range.
3. After the sugar Is added to them, stir
the preserves gently Mt first, and more
quickly toward the end, without quitting
them until they are done; this precaution
will always prevent the chance of their he
ing spoiled.
4. All preserves should be perfectly
cleared from the scum as it rises.
.. Fruit which is to be preserved i'm
syrup must first be blanched, or boiled
gently, until it is sufficiently softened to
absorb the sugar; and thin syrup must
be poured on it at first, or it will shrivel
instead ofremaining plump and becoming
clear. Thus, if it is weight of sugar is to
be allowed, and boiled to n syrup, with a
pint of water TO the pound, only half the
weight must be taken at first, and this
must not be boiled with the water more
than fifteen or twenty minutes at the COM
mencement of the process ; a part of the
remaining sugar must be added every time
the syrup is reboiled, unless it should be

6. To preserve both the true flavor and
color of fruit both in jams and jellies, boil
them rapidly until they are well reduced
before the sugar is added, and quickly af-
terward, but do not allow them to become
so thickened that the sugar will not dis
solve in them easily and throw up IFS
scum. In some seasons, the juice Is so
much richer than Others, that this effect
takes place almost before one is aware of
it; but the drop which adheres to the
skinner, when it is held up, will show
the state ii has reached. ~
I. Never use tin, iron or pewter spoons,
or swimmers for preserves, as they will
convert the color of red fruit into dingy
purple, and impart besides, n very un-
pleasant flavor.
s. When cheap jams or jellies are re-
quired, make them at once with loaf SUI
gar, but use that which is SCeU refined al
ways, for preserving in general it is a
false economy to purchase an inferior
kind, as there is great waste from it in
the quantity of scum which it throws
up.
8. Pans of copper or bell metal are the
proper utensils for preserving fruit-when
used, they must be secured bright with
sand, Timed pans turn, and destroy the
color of the fruit that is put into them.
There is now a sort of stew pan made of
iron coated with earthenware porcelain
which is very nice for preserving.-MrS.

FARM AND HOMIE.
What Well MANFRED Worn out Land will do


Judge w. w. Goodpasture had last sea-
son, on his farm in Overton county, Ten
nessec, near Livingston, fine crop of hay
from n small tract of land. From four and
n half acres, sown in timothy and clover,
at the first cutting the Judge took 81 900
pounds of hay. At the second cutting (the
same SEASON. about 5000 pounds were OBJ
matchmaking 10000 pounds in all. The
clover and timothy were rs high as q man s
waist, and very thick on the ground, and
about equal parts of each were sown.
This crop was raised on land that had AS
the phrase is, been ''worn out,n and was
considered poor land, having a clay subsoil
"a light clay loan.
On about two acres of this land hogs had
been pastured and fattened for two years
On the other portion of the four and a half
acres stable manure was spread broadcast
quite freely. On the part fortified with
hog manure, the yield was better than on
the other part, The previous year this
land had produced heavy crop of oats,
the clover and timothy having been sown
with the oats.
If our farmers would pay more attention
70 the proper care of hog manure, instead
of allowing il go to waste, as too often
happens they would reap rich reward in
the addition thereby made to the crop.
If well-to-do farmers would fence in few
acres and fatten their hogs there, they
would find that the manure would tell in
the next cropraised on the land and from
that portion of ground they might, with
care and proper management, raise seven
ty-five bushels of corn to the acre instead
of thirty or forty.
An intelligent farmer, who has lately
made some observation on this point, says
that in his opinion the manure, if proper
ly saved, will pay for the corn fed to the
hogs. sgU... -.slif rfsa.# f....r...
EaAs stated above, on about two acres of
the Judges land, hog manure alone was
spread, and those two acres lad the best
crop of hay. - .
Another point that may be mentioned
is this, that after the clover has been cut a
year or two, the roots of the clover, when
the land is not plowed, will, without any
addition of other fertilizers, furnish a vast
amount of manure. Practical agricultur-
lists, who have studied this matter, tell us
that in some way, the roots of the clover
draw valuable plantfood from the air and
utilize it, The roots also penetrate to q
great depth, and by pulverizing the soil
give the next crop a better opportunity to
receive nourishment.
Mr.. Geddes, a practical farmer in New
York State, who has written several
lengthy articles on this subject holds that
clover is one of the best and most prof.
table manures that can be obtained. Be
sides, it is cheap, and no labor is required
in hauling or spreading it, as i'm the case OF
stable and artificial manures. AS a reno
vator of old and partially worn out lands,
clover is recognized by all educated agri-
culturists asof prime Importance.

"TEND THE CORN LATE.'i-A cores
pendent of the IO10d Homestead says SEN
sible words, as follows ID ,.I...f e..
Tend your corn tCcH; tend it late
don't be deferred because a timid neigh
Dor, who may like an excuse for neglect,
says it will ruin it if tended when the blades
curl up. This is all bosh the blades will
open as the sun recedes behind the tree
tops, and your corn will grow apace. If
you abandon your corn early, that inevi-
table late crop of weeds and grass will
come upon your land like cloud, and in
place of corn you will reap nubbins.
Therefore, we say, tend your land late,
and crowd it with a few tons of turnips,
by having the late weeds and grass exter-
minated, your ground in mellow condi-
ton, and sowing thereon n few pounds of
turnip seed about the 10Th of August"

In the HorseBlusl's Manual Is the follow
ing article on q subject which we fear Is
too little considered and the evil referred
to guarded against:
Those who raise colts, usually exercise
care In the selection of good stock to breed
from, but great many neglect to give the
colts proper attention during hot weather,
while they are running with dams. 1t Is
not uncommon to see those that were
healthy and well developed in early sum-
mer looking puny and poor, and their hair
falling off before autumn. The trouble
arises from allowing the colt to draw milk
while the blood of the mare is in high
state of heat from violent cXertion.
When the dam is used in hot weather
upon the farm or road, 80 as to heat her
blood, the colt should never be allowed to
suck until she has fully cooled of. Let
him fill himself before tho mother is put
in the harness, and if it is important that
he should accompany the dam, tic him at
her side so that he will be unable to draw
milk until he is liberated; for it is much
better that he should GO hungry a few
hours than to take his food while it is in n
fevered state.
d" If the mare is to make a long distance
on hot day, and return at night, it is best
to leave the colt at home, and draw the
milk from the udder 10y hand once or twice
during the day and upon returning, then
allow the colt to fill himself gradually az
the milk is secreted. ..
Colts injured by heated milk seldom
recover from it for year or two, and many
times never. They become reduced in
flesh, get lousy i'm the fall and during the
first winter of their existence, when they
need health and strength, as, under any
circumstances, it is the most critical period
of their growth, they have just life enough
to move, and the second summer, the
proper time for development, is spent in
the recuperation of lost vitality.n

The Ideal Farmer.

The New York Ecening Post describes
the ideal farmer in the following moderate
and well-chosen terms:
First of all, he should be Il healthy, hon
est, scrupulous mana man whom his
neighbors will trust and in whom all with
whom he deals will place implicit conf
dence. Such a character, coupled with ro-
bust and hearty good health, would be the
best half of a young farmers stock in
trade. Then, again, he should be thor
Oughly versed in the details of farming as
an art.
When and how to pillow, to SOW, to hoe,
to harvest, TO garner and to sell; how to
Keep his land improving in richness and
tlith; how to buy, how to breed how to
feed, how To grow, and how to sell his live
stock how to drain land, build fences, lay
out fields, arrange and construct farm
buildings, make roads and manage all
kinds of farm machinery; how to manage
the dairy from the setting of the milk TO
the mark citing of the products. All this
and much more should be learned-not
parrot-fashion, but so that the knowledge
will become as intimate as an instinct, and
always ready in any emergency.
Underlying all this should be knowl-
edge of the science of agriculture-the
reason why" of all this work, so far at
least as the present state of agricultural
knowledge makes possible vegetable
physiology, that is, tie construction of
plants, and the manner in which they
form their growth and perpetuate their
species; vegetable chemistry, or the COM
position of various parts of plants, and the
different composition of the same parts at
different stages of growth ; vegetable nu-
triton, or the sources from which the
plant obtains its food, and the manner in
which the food is assimilated the chemis-
try and mechanics of the soil the manner
in which it IL influenced by growing and
decaying vegetation, by the action of frost,
of water, of air, and of the various chemi-
cal agents why wet land should be drain
ed, and why dry land should DC irrigated
and frequently stirred. lI5 /

Best place for a HORSE.
