Poultry manure, or hen guano, is
worth, if kept under cover, almost as
much in price as Pacific guano, which is
selling at $50 per ton. Hen manure, on
the garden or farm, is worth $50 per ton.
To prepare it for use, mix it with soil,
half and half keep it till wanted. For
corn, onions and all vegetables, it is one
of the best manures. No farmer who
wants to make his farm pay should sell it
for 80 cents per bushel. It is worth 81
for his own USE
For mixed pickles, prepare any vege-
tables you like by cutting them in pieces,
and let them lie in salt and water for two
OF, three days; then make the pickle in the
following manner: Boil the Quantity OF
vinegar required with pepper-cor mus
tard seed, small quantity of mace, a few
Cayenne pods and ginger, and half
pound OF flour OF mustard mixed smoothly
| in basin, to be put in while boiling put
all together in large stone jar.
-Fricasseed Egg Plant.-Peel and slice
the eggplant; lay the slices in salt water
two hours, to remove the bitterness and
the black which it would otherwise have;
after soaking, drain off all the water;
have enough boiling water in a clean,
bright saucepan to cover the slices; throw
eggplant; let them boil till thoroughly
cooked, then drain off the water, pour in
sufficient milk to cover the slices, and add
two tablespoonfuls of butter, rolled in
flour; let it simmer gently, shaking the
pan over the fire till the sauce is thick,
and then stir in the beaten yolks of three
eggs, just before serving.

On small places, says the Ohio Farmer,
where the horse-fork is not used, much
hard labor may be saved by building up
one-half of the hay NOV at time Form
stance, with the first hay drawn, fill either
the right or left hand end of the bay up
as far as the big beam; then rake down
the side, and while this part is settling
fill the other half. The two parts being
filled at different times will not settle
alike, and, of course, will not unite, so
there will be no use for hay knife in
winter. The principal benefit of this
plan is derived by lessening the hard
labor while unloading. One-half of the
NOW being lower than the other, the top
of the load may be thrown on the highest
part and the balance below, which saves
pitching from the rack over the big beam.
After trying this mode of moving away
hay it will not be abandoned. There is
still another advantage; the greatest heat
caused by fermentation is always in the
center of the NOW, and the seam here
gives escape to the generated gas
There is very generally a neglect among
farmers to properly prepare the bottom of
their bays for hay to keep well. In most
cases the hay is allowed to lie upon the
ground, or at best to rest upon a few
poles or rails laid upon the earth. The
best construction we ever used was to
put in logs fifteen inches through across
the bay, once in eight or ten feet, and
upon them spread rails or poles, leaving
space between them Of about two inches.
This gives free circulation below the
NOW, and not pound of hay is injured
if it remains there for years.
