COLD CUsTARD.-Warm one quart of
milk as warm as when just mllked;
sweeten and flavor to suit your taste; stir
into it two tablespoonfuls of rennet wine,
and turn it at once into the dish in which
it is to be served; set in cool place and
let stand one hour. 1t is excellent, eaten
with sugar and cream, and very conven-
lent when you need dessert prepared in
haste.
CUTTING AND BoTTLINe GRAPES WHEN
RIPE-An English gardener announces
his purpose to cut his cold grapery
grapes, hereafter, when ripe lin October
or later, leaving about eight inches of
stem attached to each bunch; carry them
to a dry room where are number of bot
ties filled with water, in which is a little
charcoal, and in this water insert the
stems attached to the punches. BY this
means he expects to keep Muscats until
March. He proposes to keep them upon
a shelf in dry room.
Hoe troughs are so often the scene of
terrific quarrels at feeding time that any
device to secure justice for the weak and
prevent aggression on the part of the
strong will be welcomed alike by pigs and
farmers. The Agriculturist suggests that
cross-bars be let into the edges of the
trough and fastened with nails. The ami
mails will then be prevented from rushing
at one another while feeding, and the ne
cessity of raising their heads in order to
make an attack will soon teach them that
the satisfaction derived from every such
attack is more than balanced by direct

THE Canada Farmer gives the following
suggestions in regard to weaving lambs:
"When separated from the ewes, lambs
should be placed in q field as distant as
possible from them, SO as to be out of
reach of their bleating, and they will be-
come contented and thriving. The pas
ture to which the lambs are put ought to
be somewhat better than that to which
they have been accustomed, yet not too
luxuriant, and if the ewes and lambs can
be turned into it together for a week, and
then taken away, the lambs will not fret
so much as would be the case were they
removed to field that is strange e
them"

PREPARING LAND FOR STRAWBERRIES
"A correspondent requests US to tell hin
how to prepare land fer strawberry plants
We have read volumes on this subject
and prepared good many acres with oul
own hands, therefore feel qualified to Civ,
the required information in a very few
words: Make the soil deep, rich, an(
pulverize it thoroughly. This is all tina
the most successful grower in the coun
try ever attempted or accomplished
When the soil is put into such state
man may plant strawberries with prett,
good expectation of obtaining strong
vigorous growth, provided he obtain
sorts adapted to his locality. Whethe

SUGAR BEETs FOR FATTENING SWINE
Jonathan Talcott gives statement il
the Boston CultiUdtor of an experimen
performed on a Suffolk pig, where suga
beets were largely employed for fatten
ing. The animal was about year old
and the feeding on boiled sugar beets
tops and roots, began on the 10th of Au
gust, and was continued three times da,
until the 1st of October, after whicl
ground feed was given, consisting of tw
parts of corn and one of oats, three time
day till the animal was slaughtered, tn
meal being mixed with cold water. Th
result was, on the 18th of August, whel
the sugar beet feeding was begun, tina
the weight was $50 pounds; Septembe
1st, 800 pounds; October 1st, 450 pounds
November 1st, $50 pounds. This is tn
substance of the statement given, b
which we perceive the increase the last G
August, when fed on boiled sugar beets
was at the rate of two pounds per day
the same rate of increase on the sam
food continued through September. Whe
fed on ground corn and oats, made int
cold slop, the gain for the next fifty day
was less than pound and half per day
