"A serviceable filter may be readily
made % follows: Take . common earth
enware noWerpot about nine inches in di.
ameter and ten inches In depth. The
drainage hole ID stopped loosely with .
piece Of clean sponge. A layer Of about
two inches Of animal charcoal u lirst
placed in the pot, then the layer OF clean
sand, upon which layer of three inches
of clean coarse gravel II placed. The pot
can be set over an earthen jar, into which
an abundance of pure water will filter for
all drinking purposes.
"A fact by no means generally known
10 the tendency Of domesticated plants 70
produce branches bearing foliage, nowerss
or fruit strikingly dissimilar to that OF
the rest of the plant. In this way new
varieties which are really valuable are OBJ
tanned by horticulturists. In fact, the
nectarine (which nevertheless comes true
from seed) is reputed to have originated
from the peach. New strains of color in
flowers are often produced-the parent
strain "breaking,". or. sporting" Is II

Jon was obtained from sport, and quite
lately . russetlike apple was shown at
the Engii.h Horticultural Society which
had been produced by q tree OF the orange
pearmain. The scarlet golden pippin Is
known in the same way to have been
sport from the golden pippin, and not 10
have been seeding.
To make apple marmalade, boil some
apples with the peel of them until they
are perfectly soft, which may be known
BY pressing them between the thumb and
fingers; then remove them from the fire
and throw them into cold water; pare
them; place them ON . sieve, and press
the pulp from the cores. The pulp, which
has passed through sieve, place In
stewnan and Get the pan on the IRE long
enough to remove the moisture, 90 that
the pulp may become rather thick. Take

boil il to q good syrup; add the pulp to it
and stir them we'll together with spstula

the marmalade has become . little cool,
put it into pots; but do not cover the pots

SELL no corn in the ear; have oil You
sell shelled--a hand Smelling machine will
answer if your crop is . small 0ne-if
large, get one to be worked by horse
power; neither will cost q great deal-and
we are very certain that the cobs, IL
crushed, steamed and fed to your cattle,
win be worth more to you in . single
winter than the price of = corn-sheller,
whether you get large or small one.
We believe there is One-thid as much
nutriment in bushel of cobs - there is
in bushel of grain, and we do know that
cows and oxen fed upon three pecks of
the steamed or crushed cobs, In addition
to their usual quantity of hay, or tops of
fodder, will keep fat. Then why haul
your corn cobs to market to be given
away! It costs you as much to carry q
bushel of cobs to market as It does q
bushel Of corn. Shell your corn, leave
your cobs at home to nourish your cattle,
and through them your land; and where
you now send one bushel of corn, you
will be able to transport two for the same
money. Look this subject fairly In the
face-consult economy-consult the com.
fort of your cattle-consult the wants of
your soil, and you cannot fail to take our
advice.-Americ0p Farmer.
