Strawberry Shortcake.


AS Strawberries arc now in season,
receipt to make the palatable dish
known as strawberry shortcake will
not be amiss. Rub piece of butter
the size OF an egg into a little flour,
pour into it two cups of sour cream,
one tea spoonful of baking soda, and a
little salt. Mix into dough, and roll
in cakes about one-half inch thick, and
ten inches in diameter. Prick with q
fork, and bake in quick oven. When
done split them open with knife, and
spread with uice butter, lay the bot
tom piece on plate, and cover it with
strawberries sprinkled with sugar a
few hours before they are put into the
cake. with the crust side down, and a
layer of straw berries again. Over this
lay the bottom piece of another cake
and more berries, and put on the top
piece, right side up. Serve with sweet
cream.

The Army Worm.

The worms may be prevented, as =
genera, thing, from passing from one
field to another, by judicious ditching.
1t is important, however, that the
ditch should be made so that the field
of grain to be protected should be dug
under. About every four or rods a
deep hole in the ditch should be made
liz which the worms viii collect, so
that they can be killed by covering
them with earth and pressing it down.
All along the ditch on the side of the
field to be protected, a space of from
/ three TO five feet should be thoroughly
! busted (when the dew is on) with a
mixture of Paris green and plaster of
Paris, or flour, so that every worm
which succeeds in crossing the ditch
viii be killed by feeding upon plants
so treated, This mixture should be in
the proportion of one part of pure
Paris green to twenty-five or thirty
parts of the other materials named.
If used in liquid form, one table
spoonful of Paris green to bucket
ef water, kept well stirred, viii answer
the sane purpose. Logs or fences over
running streams should be removed;
otherwise, the worms will cross on
them.
About three fouihs of all the worms
are infested with parasitic larva, which
soon develop into q fly, similar in color
and shape to the common house fly,
although IT is somewhat larger, This
fly deposits from one TO four white and
tough eggs, which are laid upon the
back of the army worm, behind its
head. These eggs soon hatch out into
little ycllowish-whitc maggots, which
feed for few days upon the fatty parts
of II, until full grown, when they reach
the vital parts and cause the death OF
their victims.
Besides this Tachina fly just men-
toned, there are number Of large
ground beetles which are always found
in company with the worms, devour-
ing them.
In case a meadow or field is overrun
with the army worm, it viii be best to
cut the grass for hay, as that viii be
that much saved. As the worms are
now nearly full grown in the vicinity
of st. Louis, they will probably disap-
pear before the middle of the present
month. Those not destroyed will en-
ter the ground and change 10 areddish
brown pupa, from which perfect mil
Ter or moth viii emerge soon after. 1t
is matter of great interest aud i'm
portance to the scientific man as well
as to the farmer, TO know when and
where the eggs of The moth are depos-
tied, and how long they remain in that
state. They are probably laid in low,
marshy places, near the ground OH
blades of the wild grasses. The pres
ent season the worm has made its APP
pearance in this locality at least three
weeks earlier than in former years, and
it is very desirable III the present in
stance TO carefully note the time at
which the eggs laid by the moth OF
tins now active brood, will hatch

Fodder Corn.

The mode or growing this forage
has been much discussed as has its
utility, perse. 1t is better to plant in
drills than to sow broadcast. Harris
Lewis. of Herkimer county, New York,

chusets, and DIR. Hoskins, of Orleans
county, Vermont, condemn fodder
corn as forage. because of its succu-
lency--not 10 be fed until after the
ears are well set-thus having reached
full maturity of growth. We are of
those who believe in succulent feed for
cows and sheep, as we have often said
such as our pastures furnish in June,
and, therefore. we believe in feeding
forage corn before it has eared-ay, in
its succulent state, which the learned
doctors all condemn.-Boston Caltird-

Moving Early in the Season.


When grass is moved at an early
period in growth, much more labor
will be required to cure il thoroughly,
than if the crop were not cut until the
blossoms were beginning TO fall 10 the
ground. Nevertheless, the hay made
of early cut gras viii make far better
fodder: and given quantity, when
fed to stock, will yield more milk,
more wool and more flesh, muscle and
fat, than the same area of grass if al
lowed to become fully ripe before the
crop is moved. On the contrary, ripe
and dry hay with coarse weeds among
it, win 90 farther in keeping stock
alive than hay made of young and ten
der grass; but the stock thus kept
viii depreciate amazingly in condition,
while supplied with such inferior fod-
der. If one has meadow where there
is large quantity Of coarse grass and
only few weeds, it will be far better
in every respect TO now the crop carly.
In some instances, parts of a meadow
may be moved three times during the
season. fone has bog meadows, the
oftener the heritage can be moved the
sooner the coarse grass and weeds viii
be run outs. Z. Todd, az Practical
Farmer.

Stick to It.

Occasionally farmer may make a
good strike, and make money, by TAX
ing hold of new thing and pushing it
for wear or two then dropping it.
But there is more often failures than
success in this method. The man who
makes the most steady gains is he who
takes up a plan and sticks to it
through thick and thin. When every
body goes into one product and creates
greater supply than there is de-
mand for it, and the majority leave it
for something else, he sticks TO it, aud,
in the long run, makes money. The
most brilliant success often comes
from learning to grow 4 given crop at
less expense in large quantities than
any one else can. Hence the good pol
lev of growing that which one knows
most about.--Er.

q want TO try a reaper this season
and | guess I'll join the Grange" And
so, because one man wants 10 turn an
honest penny the Grange gets new
member, and if he don't make all lac
expects by the operation, he will say

We trust that all persons who are
thinking of joining the Grange for pc
cuniary reasons, will reconsider their
decision and not do so. These are the
members who are not willing to'work
in order that the Grange may accom-
plish its noble objects and become o
source of benefit to its members. But
if the benefits do not 1ow immediate
ly into their hands, they are dissatis-
fed. Such persons are the GROWERS
and fault-fnders of the Order, and the
Grange would be stronger and far more
efficient without them.
This is plain talk, but we feel that
the truth must be spoken. We do not
wish TO be misunderstood as stating
that there arc no financial benefits in
the Order, but that those who join for
no higher motives than this, do not
become its useful and efficient men,

there is in the movement is from peo-
pie who have got within the inner

THE FRESUM1N RACE.

The regatta at Saratoga opened yesterday
with excellent promise. The single scull race
70 be sure was defeated by a blunder which
ought TO have been impossible under any
moderately efficient management, but this was
a comparatively unimportant prelude TO the
sports of the week. and the interest OF the
meeting really began with the race OF the
Freshman crews. This was all that good
race ought to be. The contest was close ana
uncertain until the very end; some excellent
work was put forth; and the time was
considerably quicker than that of last year
and highly creditable to boatmen who are just
at the outset of their career. Nictors anu van
shed alike come out of the struggle with
honor. Cornell wins our hearty applause for
the fine effort by which she barely snatched
the prize away from her gallant competitors
and there is not one of the four boats OF which
we cannot say that it well deserved To win.
This race seems to have been carried through
without any of the unpleasant accidents, mis-
takes and misunderstanding which are so apt
to mar the success of such affairs To-Day,
with thirteen boats in line instead OF four the
difficulties of management are increased III
peometrical ratio. 1t will be an occasion OF
much more excitement also than ycSter-
doy. and of greater temptations for the
weak of head and infirm of temper. But the
university crews have shown IL good sense and
gcntlemanly feeling which we are confident
will not desert them in the critical hour, and
whoever wins we shall expect to see them all
come ont of the trial with as much honor as
their younger associates

HDDEUNDD.

Since the accidental discovery of an illicit
dstilcry run by convict within the walls OF
Sing Sing prison, we have heard of nothing
more grot,.,qle than the information conveyed
to the United States Government by the Of
fcials of British Columbia that the manufac
ture and sale of crooked whisky has become
n thriving industry among the noble red men
of Alaska. The process was discovered at a
place called lIoOchnOo, and from this euphOni-
ous geographical term the product derives its
name. We can imagine the perpleXity and
perseverance with which the untutored
savage must have pursued his researches
in this branch of chemistry, and the exquisite
enjoyment of his final triumph. The liquor is
made principally of molasses, sugar, and p0-
tatoes, and the machinery is constructed of
two old cOal-Oil cans. There must have been
many vain experiments before these humble
utensils were brought to such noble use, and
many horrible dccoctions must have smoked
and stewed and smclt loud over the wigwam
fire, poisoning the air of all the foggy coast
from Behring Strait to Vancouver Island,
before the savages learned the best
way To cook mOlasses and potatoes.
But one day the great secret was solved and
the whole settlement of IIOOchnOO drank itself
glorious The news ran from village to village.
All the coal oil in the territory was at once
emptied out, and the cans were applied to

time too he had discovered in his explora-
tions Of the Department pigeon-holes that II
information on this subject was all that
WAS wanted there was already plenty
of it within the Secretarys reach. In
view of all these facts he calmly
pursued his inquiries as to the truth or falsity
of the representations made to him by Red
Cloud, and now at the conclusion OF them he
laws the results before the President OF the
United States, whose province it is to take
cognizance of such state of affiirs in one OF
the departments of the Government as this
statement indicates.
Prof. Marsh, it must be remembered, has
been unwittingly drawn into this controversy
with the Interior Department by his zeal IN
scientific pursuits, which led him to promise
Red Cloud to communicate that chieftain's =
complaints to the Great Father. Innocently
enough he fulfilled his promise, and there
upon found Secretary Dclano brstllns
with wrath towards him. Forced into con-
troycrsv. he has not shirlcd it, as his state
ment shows. but has pursued it to the end
with system and thoroughness. The whole
people owe him debt of gratitude for the
good work he has done.

higher p,:rposes.-fOr it Is al interesting TACT
that the same sort of vessel employed by the
original discOvercr was retained with scrupu-
lous fidelity by all the subsequent manufacturers
II must have impaired delicious pungency t0
the spirit, and an aroma to the breath OF the
habitual consumer which is all Sitka Indian
wanted to make him lovely. At any rate the
communication received from the British
officials reports that the product meets all
"the requirements of first-class fire-water,"
being within five per cent OF proof. All the
children of the forest in the entire country
have gone into the whisky business, ana as
they cannot buy molasscs enough from Alaska
traders they are trudging off in mass to the
posts of the Iudson's Bay Company, and there
bartering off their furs and oils for treacle ana
kerosene cans.
1t strikes us that in this little operation the
unsophisticatcd savage has taken soothing
revenge upon his great father in Washington.
Having being the victim of great variety OF
Rings he has turned the tables by forming
Ring of his own, which we venture to say
cannot he cclipscd even i'll the District OF
Columbia. The whole population Is embraced
in it, with the solitary exception OF the tax
collector who sits alOOf the one sOrrOwlul ana
sober human beng in the Territory. 1t Is
evidently out of the question, however, that
the wards of the nation should be allowed to
60 on in this absurd way, running their
stomachs and their moral characters without
help from any of the Government depart
mcnts; and as the Indian Supply Ring is getting
into tight place, we recommend Commits
siOner Smith, Agents Saville, Orville Grant,
and other gentlemen in the Indian line to pro-
ceed at once to Sitka and reOrganize the
Alaska Whisky Ring on the usual basis. If
there is anything in the way of business that
they don't know, let them secure the services
of few members of the st. Louis Whisky
Ring and take them along. 1t is unnecessary
for us to point out what they have to
do in order to vindicate the authority OF
the Internal Revenue Commissioner at the
Arctic Circle. They will assess the proper tax
on HoochnOo, stamp the cans. and inspect the
molasses; the Indians will conduct the manu-
facture as usual the Government will get no
money, and the Ring will grow rich Haply
too, kerosene whisky may prove little too
much for them, and in that case the country
will get rid of one of its problems with COM
parativcly little cost.
