animals from those usually kept for the
dairy, at least if he was a man Of intelli-
gence, and understood his business thor
oughly. The same is true in regard to
fruits, vegetables, and all kinds Of
grains, and one needs to be continually
experimenting in order to learn when,
how and where to make change, if such
SHOULD be necessary.
If you have never tried subsoilirg. give
it thorough trial, upon one field, at
least, for it may be just the thing re-
quired to enable you to raise large and
remunerative crops.
We know that there are thousands of
acres of what are called WORKOUT lands
IN the Eastern and Southern States that
only need deep culture to restore their
long lost fertility. Their owners will
not experiment in this way or any other
direction, and the results are well known
TO every one who has studied scientific
agriculture or travelled through these des-
olate regions of country.
Because one crop fails it is no sign that
another might not succeed, even upon
the same soil, and be cultivated with
profit
1t is not enough to do we'll in farming,
but every one should try to do better.
Neither is it safe to pursue system that
is impoverishing the soil and gradually
lessening its products, although this is the
practice in all new regions of the coun-
try, and in many of the old ~. !. Sun

How to Wash Dishes.

In the matter of washing dishes many
servants are wofully deficient, and vet a
sticky" plate or cup is the adherence
OF all neat housekeepers. To avoid I'M
necessary annoyance, we should teach
our donestics to wash first, and dry i'm
medIately, all glassware, then cups,
saucers, and spoons; after that the greasy
dishes, from which all scraps have been
scraped then the knives and forks, TAX
ing care that the knife-handles are not put
IN the hot water, as that loosens and black
ems them, while they are readily cleaned
by damp cloth. Silver forks, whether
solid or plated, should never be tossed
about in contact with steel knives, as the
latter are sure to infict unseemly
scratches.
The water for washing glass and deli
cate china should never be very hot, and
even granite or stone ware should not be
Immersed in water where you cannot
easily bear your hand, for though the
dishes may not actually break, they soon
become full of unsightly small dark
checks. A very little soap suffices, more
than just the quantity necessary to re-
move grease is apt to leave disagreeable
roughness. For delicately painted French
china, fair warm soft water without anv
soap is best. Two tin pans, one for wash
ing and the other for rinsing, rather deep
er than milk-pans, and painted on the
outside to prevent rust, are often preferred
to the wooden dish-tubs Hanging from
pegs over the sink should always be kept
hemmed dish-cloth (if Undermined, it is
sometimes apt to find its wav, unaded, of
course, to the fire or the barnyard. to save
the trouble of washing it,, a teacup towel,
and one for saucepans, etc. One of the
first, two of the second, and four of the
third named, will ordinarily be sufficient
for weeks use. All should be distinctly
marked, that there may be no excuse for
taking teacup towel to wipe the spider.
All milk utensils should be thoroughly
scalded with boiling suds, then rinsed,
wiped with cloth wrung as dry as posi-
Bile from hot water, and kept in dry
place. Singular as it may seem, per
fectly dry towel should never be employed
TO wipe tins which have been used for
holding milk. The reason l cannot tell,
but OF the fact am sure-a sickness is
left behind by the dry towel, which will
soon become a sourness. and

Experiments upor the Farm.

TIE farmer has abundant opportuni-
ties for acquiring a knowledge of his
business through experiments, and he
should not fail to use them to the utmost
extent. We do not mean by this that q
man should be continually changing pro-
ducts or systems of culture, but that he
shall keep himself sufficiently unbiased
to adopt new things and plans which are
likely to be of practical utility.
All men are more or less prone to fol-
low the beaten path made by their pre-
decessors, and few have the courage to
diverge from these lines and strike out
for themselves We often forget that
general rules in agriculture admit of many
exceptions, and it is only those of a
specific character that admit of specific
application. For instance, deep soil is
conceded to be more valuable than q
shallow one; hence the general rule that
deep culture should be practiced in order
to produce great results; still there are
many cases where a man would no doubt
be the loser by adopting such a system.
It is only through carefully conducted ex-
periments that we can learn what is best
either in systems of culture or the crops
raised. Different soils require differ
ent treatment; climate and exposure
may also necessitate a variation in the
mode Of culture, as we'll as in the
kinds of crops cultivated, and these are
the things that the intelligent farmer
must learn if he would be successful. In
some portions of the country wheat sown
with drill is not so liable to be injured
in winter as when soWn broadcast, while
in others the difference between the two
systems is scarcely, if at all, perceptible.
A few experiments Will show the farmer
which is the best, and then he can choose
for himself without regard to what others
may say. But If he never tries but one
system he will not know whether it is the
best or not. MulChing winter wheat is
also highly recommended by those who
have tried 1t in regions where there is
little snow in winter, and theoretically il
seems TO be the one thing needful in all
regions where the young grain is liable to
be exposed to cold winds in winter, as it is
in most prairie countries; but expert
ments would soon settle the question
definitely. A few rods square or acres
might be covered for few years in sue
cession, and by noticing the results the
farmer could determine whether it would
pay him to adopt the system upon q
| larger scale. That which is best N one
| locality may be the worst in another. and
tnis is one great argument in favor of
| local personal experiments
| 1t may be more profitable to the West
ern farmer to feed his hogs and cattle
corn on the ear than to shell and grind
it, while the Eastern farmer would find
| the exact reverse Of this the most econom-
ical, for practice must vary to accord
with circumstances. Among stocks we
find breeds that are better adapted to one
LOCALITY than to another, but how is a man
to ascertain this fact, except through ex-
perlments? If man desires to sell beef,
he vauld select quite different breed OF
