MAKE BEET.-Don't sell your cows
this fall, but instead, stabilized young
steers and turn out for sale next spring
when beef is high and scarce, full fatted
cattle for market. BY this plan you will
get more money for your corn and in adj
dition thereto have nice lot of rich
manure for next Springs crops. II is
wasteful to feed whole grain and it
should therefore be ground into meal
and then fed. This system of disposing
of the grain crop is a higher grade of
farming than the old way of selling the
grain. In the best farming regions OF
the Middle States this method is gener.
ally adopted, so that it is a rare thing to
see a farmer there hauling his corn to
market. A farmer, with thousand
bushels of corn to sell, can fatten fifteen
thousand pounds of beef, which at ten
cents per pound is S15OO.OO. The corn
at sixty cents is worth 100000, leaving a
difference in favor of the beef of 5000. OC
to pay for the original purchase of the
cattle. This it will do and leave over a
profit of $4,000 at least, besides the ma,
nure made in. the process.

To MEASURE CORN IN THE CRIB
Add the width of the bottom of the
crib in inches to the width across the
corn in the upper part, also in inches;
divide the sum by two, and multiply it
by the height and length of the corn in
the crib, also in inches; and divide the
product 10y 1850. The result will give
the heaped bushels Of ears, two of which
will make a bushel of shelled corn, if of
the flint variety, and one and one-half
if of the Western Dent corn. BY multi
plying the average width, height and
length, in inches, together, the cubic
contents in inches is found, and 1850
cubic inches make heaped bushel.

OATs.-Josh Billings says: "All you
have to do to raise them is to plow deep,
then manure it well, then sprinkle the
oats all over the ground, one in place,
then set up mites to keep the chickens
and woodchucks out NV them, then kra-
die them together with a kradle, then
rake them together with rake, then
stack them together with stack, then
thrash them out with fail, then clean
them up with mill, then sharpen both
ends of them with a knife, then stow
them away in the granary, then spend
wet days and Sundays trapping for rats
and mice. It amt nothing but plum to
raise oats-trY it.''

THE PREPARATION OF TEA.-The
definite effects sought from tea-drinking
over and above the mere comfort given
by the hot liquid are produced by two
ingredients of the leaf,-the alkaloid
theme and the aromatic matter. The
latter is what is chiefly valued by the re-
fined connoisseur of tea and according
ly he Tor she) makes tea by pouring per-
fectly boiling water ON a pretty large al
lowance of leaf, drinking off the first in
fusion and rejecting the rest. Made in
this manner tea is, no doubt, not only a
very pleasant beverage, but also most
useful restorative but, unfortunately
so far from being cheap, it is a costly
beverage, and the poor cannot afford to
drink it. The plan which they adopt is
that of slow stewing, the teapot stand
ing for hours together upon the bob.
The result of this kind of cooking is a

any qualities which a refined taste
would value, is, says the Lancet, decided.

hold falls naturally upon the mother;
this is right except where there are
grown daughters, in which case, partly
that the weary mother may have the
rest she needs and longs for, and partly
that the daughter may have the expert
ence she needs and generally does not
long for, the daughters should be obliged
to tighten the mothers burden; yes,
obliged-the word has an ugly sound, but
it is the word to use: not that daughters
are unfeeling or undutiful, but that
many of them have no idea what skill
and thought must be exercised by some
one before the household machinery can
be made to run so no grating is heard:
they have a vague impression that house.
work adjusts itself: that the nice combi-
nation which forms good meal, hap
pens. Many young wife rushes into
housekeeping only to feel the deepest
chagrin and modification upon discover
ing that she is wholly unequal to the
task undertaken.
The housekeeping that was to be so
perfectly blissful is all a tangle; if she is
true woman she will go to work
bravely, and conquer the difficulties that
lie before her; if she has not sufficient
force to carry her through such course
she will relapse into a weak, slovenly
housekeeper-an affection to her hus-
band, an object of disgust to herself, and
an everlasting disgrace to her mother.
So we say to mothers, oblige your daugh-
tiers to learn all the details of house.
keeping, and they will bless you for it
when the time comes for them to use the
knowledge, the acquiring of which was
so distasteful to them.
Lemon Pudding.-Stir one pint of
light bread crumbs into one quart of hot
milk; when it is cool add half cup of
sugar, the grated rind of one lemon, a
little salt, the yolls of five eggs and the
whites of two. Bake this until it is
done, being careful not to leave it in the
oven long enough to get watery. Beat
the three whites to froth, gradually adj
ding the juice of the lemon and half a
cup OF powdered sugar; If the whites 60
down when the lemon is added beat
them until they come up again, which
they will surely do if the eggs are fresh.
When the pudding is done, spread over
the top of it some dark colored jelly Oh
preserves, and throw the float on in
large spoonfuls, put back into the oven
and brown slightly. To be eaten cold
without sauce.
Sponge Cdke.-Beat three eggs ter
minutes, then add two cups of sugar
and beat for five minutes, add one cup Of
flour in which has been put one tea
spoonful of cream tartar, and beat ont
minute more, after which stir in lightly
half cup of cold water in which ha.
been dissolved half a teaspoonful o.

SAVING IN THE STABLE.-A Long
Island farmer, Mr.. w. III. Risley, thus
discourses on the stable manure and its
adjuncts. He says: Experience has
demonstrated that stable manure, when
properly compOSted and cared for, is the
very best general fertilizer that can be
used. But the bulk and the expense of
transportation-if it could be bought
must cOnfine its use to the supply that
can be produced at home, or obtained
very near. With system and care this
supply can be largely increased by gath
ering, at the proper season, everything
of a vegetable nature that can be fer
mented and decOmposed, and storing it
in a convenient place for use. Every
animal should be made auxiliary by be-
ing kept in stables, yards, or pens, and
the ground floors of which should be
kept covered with litter. AS often as
this litter becomes soiled it should be re-
moved and placed in pile (under cover
is best) and fresh litter spread on the
floor. The liquid being rich i'll ammo
mia, it is important that care should be
taken to have it all absorbed and pre-
served with the carbOniferous element.
There IL some art and skill required in
order to generate, combine, and pre-
serve the most valuable elements of sta
BILE manure. The raw pile will not fer
ment during freezing weather. But in
the early spring it should be removed to
suitable place to form into pile about
four feet high to ferment. The pile
should be covered with layer of dry
muck, or rich earth, or, what is better, if
to he had, ground plaster of Paris, to
| absorb the gases, ammonia, nitrogen.
and carbonic acid, as they are generated
during fermentation.

THE Maryland Farmer says: Let me
warn you about tree peddlers; most of
them are impOstors, and none are as re-
liable as the first-class nurseryman, from
whom alone you ought to buy, because
you can get the trees cheaper, and you
have got guarantee that you get what
you buy. These tree-peddlers, or agents
for selling fruit trees, with their bright
ly colored fruit pictures have done meal
culable mischief in our southern country
particularly, and yet intelligent gentle
men are daily found buying of them
largely. We would also recommend
our farmers to buy of our nurserymen
near home, where the trees are acclima-
ted and grown on soil similar to where
they are to be transplanted, and from
men who know the sorts of fruits best
adapted to our soils and climate, rather
than send off thousand miles for the
same article grown on a different soil,
and used to a different cline, when ii
can be had at our doors, and can be seen
bearing if we choose to visit the nursery.

IMPROPER MULCHING.-We lately
saw some trees that had been killed, we
have no doubt, by excessive mulching.
They had been planted in lawn, and
heaped around them. Grass newly cut
will heat when gathered into heaps, and
this heating will cause much evapora-
ton from the soil, besides affecting the
Peninsular news and advertiser. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1872-1904, 1872-09-27

roots which are near the surface. Thus,
an exactly opposite effect to that pro-
duced by proper mulching is caused, and
instead OF an accession OF moisture to
the soil, the soil is rapidly deprived of
what it already had, by the heat. Mulch
ing should not be SO extensive as to
cause heating, but only sufficient to pre-
vent evaporation from the soil and to re-
turn moisture.-HedTth and Home.

OF A Cup OF COFFEE.-It has been
truthfully said that even in these en-
lightened days, and in the lands most
blessed by, the influence of civilization,
there are thousands upon thousands of
persons born into the world who live
long lives and then go down into their
graves without ever having tasted good
cup of coffee. There are many reasons
for this, and the principle one. of course,
mus be that so few persons know how
to make good coffee. And yet there
have been thousands of recipes and di-
rections published which teach us how
to make good coffee by boiling it by not
boiling it by combining the essence and
aroma; by making it in an open vessel :;
by sleeping it 10y not sleeping it; by
clearing it by not clearing it by grind
ing it fine by grinding it coarse, and by
many other methods opposed to each
other and to all these. Now we do not
intend to tell anybody how to make good
coffee, but we just wish to say a word
about the treatment of the coffee after
it is made, And OH this treatment de-
Ponds its excellence, brew it as you may
The rule is simple: nerer decdnt ii.
Whatever else you do about it, bring it
to the table in the vessel in which it was
made. A handsome urn or gorgeous
coffee-pot is the grave of good coffee.
OF course, if it is considered more desir-
able to have the pot look well than to
have the coffee taste well, we have moth
ing more to say. But when hot coffee
is emptied from one vessel into another,
the kitchen ceiling generally receives the
essence-laden vapor which should have
found its way into the cups on the break
fast table. And one word about these
cups. When the coffee enters them it
should find the milk or the cream al
ready there. BY observing these rules,
ordinary coffee, made in almost any way,
is often very palatable indeed.-Honlt
