FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

--Crop.Bound Fowls One person |
must hold the fowl quite still, while
another cuts the crop open, and entirely
empties 1t of its contents, then sew II
carefully up again. When this Is done,
place the patient in coop by herself for
q few days, and feed her on soft food,
Under this treatment, ninety out of every
hundred will recover.
TO prepare raspberry Juice of fine
color, flavor and aroma, French journal
saws: Take the berries we'll ripened and
cleansed crush them in a glass vessel
with a wooden pestle into homogeneous
mass, add to them five to ten parts per
one hundred of cane or grape sugar, and
allow the whole to stand, mixing up oc.
casionally. BY means of the alcohol re-
sulting from the fermentation the pectin
is precipitated, and clear juice is obtain.
ed, preserving perfectly the aroma and
taste of the raspberry.
To Cook Green Corn.-Many cooks
boil their corn too long. If the corn will
prove tender at all, 1t will be so after an
hours boiling, and twenty minutes is
usually sufficient. After It is done, it
only loses in sweetness by longer boiling
Like all fresh vegetables, it should be put
into boiling water to cook. Almost all
people prefer TO gnaw it directly from the
cob, but it may be sliced off as soon as
done and seasoned with cream and salt,
or with small piece of butter salt, and
pepper.
-Succotash.--It is customary to use
e.third as much of beans as of corn.
Lima beans are usually preferred, but any
kind of fresh beans may be used. The
beans require longer boiling than the
I'M hn N
hour More of the corn flavor will be OBJ
tanned if the cobs are boiled with the beans
for about twenty minutes before putting
in the corn sliced from them. Season
when nearly done with milk, cream, or
butter, as you prefer with salt, and per-
haps little pepper.
Orchard Profts.--lt was stated ut q
late meeting of the fruit growers of New
York State that an orchard of Baldwin
apple trees, 140 in number, yielded last
year / 900 barrels. As the ground covered
was about two acres, the net profits were
$500 an acre. This orchard had been
| planted fifteen years. and the average yield
during all this time was over $50 year.
Another orchard which was planted thick.
er yielded an average for each year from
the time of planting of $270. 1t was said,
in conclusion, that apples can be grown at
profit at 81 barrel, and more money
can be made than with any other crop.
| Now, although this relates to New York,
the same is true of other States, North
and South, but let it be peaches instead of
apples, and not so much to sell green as
to can and dry-Neeo York Tribune.
How Easily Butter is Spoled.-A
| farmers wife writes to an exchange: :-"Of
all the products of the farm, butter is the
most liable to he tainted by noXious
odors floating in the atmosphere. Our
people had lain some veal in the cellar
| from which little blood flowed out and
was neglected until il had commenced to
smell The result was that jar of but
ter, which | was then packing, smelled
and tasted like spoiled beer. Another
lady writer observes that there was pond
of filthy, stagnant water few hundred feet
away from their house, from which, when
the wind was from a certain direction, an
offensive etiluvium would be borne on
the breeze directly to the milk-room, the
result of which was that the cream and
butter would taste like the disagreeablC
odor coming from the pond AS soon as
the pond was drained there was no more
damaged butter.
Cherry Trees.-These should never
be highly manuTed. Singular as il
may seem, better results have beer
obtained by growing cherry tree;
in grass than by cultivating them
as highly as pears. Experienced frui
growers in Deleware, who once be
gan system of liberal manuring and
treatment of cherry trees, found after al
experience of few years, that the bark
would burst, gum would ooze out, anG
many portions of the tree show an un
healthy condition. The growers immedi
ately discontinued high feeding, anC
seeded the land down to grass. The trees
recovered their health, and have borne
bountifully since the system of grass cul
ture began. 1t is the only fruit tree o
all varieties which we can safely recon
mend TO be treated in this way. A Della
ware friend says his row of cherry trees
growing in grass along the fence, are thu
picture of health and luXuriance; while
in previous years, with orchard culture
he could never make them successful
