HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

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
few days, and feed her on soft food.
Under this treatment, ninety out OF every
hundred will recover.
To Cook Green Corn.-Many cooks
boil their corn too long. If the corn will
prove tender at all, it 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 he 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
one-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 a longer boiling than the
corn Lima beans should be boiled an
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.
To prepare raspberry juice offine
color, flavor and aroma, French journal
says: Take the berries we'll ripened and
cleansed, crush them in glass vessel
with 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.
Orchard Profits.-lt was stated at q
late meeting of the fruit growers of New
York State that an orchard of Baldwin
apple trees, 40 in number, yielded last
year 1000 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
cr yielded an average for each year from
the time of planting of $27O 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 1t be peaches instead OF
apples, and not so much to sell green as
to can and dry.-Neo York Tribune.
How Easily Butter is Spoiled
all the products of the farm, butter is the
most liable to he tainted by noxious
Odors floating in the atmosphere. Oul
people had lain some veal in the cellar
from which little blood flowed out and
smell. The result was that jar of but
and tasted like spoiled beer. Another
lady writer observes that there was ponC
of filthy, stagnant water few hundred fee
away from their house, from which, wher
the wind was from . certain direction, al
offensive effluviumr would be borne OF
the breeze directly to the milk room, thu
result of, which was that the cream ant
butter would taste like the disagreeabl'
odor coming from the pond. AS soon a
the pond was drained there was no NOR
damaged butter.
| Cherry Trees.-These should neve
be highly MANFRED. Singular as
may seem, better results have beer
obtained by growing cherry tree
in grass than by cultivating then
as highly as pears. Experienced frui
growers in Delaware, who once be
gan a system of liberal manuring ant
treatment of cherry trees, found after al
experience of few years, that the bari
would burst, gum would ooze out, ant
many portions of the tree show an Nm
healthy condition. The growers immcdi
a.Aly discontinued high feeling, ant
seeded the land down to grass. The tree
recovered their health, and have born
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 tn
picture of health and luxuriance; Will
in previous years, with orchard culture
he could never make them successful
