kind into thin slices. Sprinkle salt,
pepper and flour over them; also spread
over the meat any kind of pickles,
chopped or sliced. Pour over all half a

A NEW insecticide consists of camphor
dissolved in methylated spirits to satu
ration, and mixed with soft soap to the
consistence of cream. When diluted so
as to be fit for use with a syringe, this
has been found an efficacious substitute
for fumigation in the case of mealy bug,
scale, red spider, etc.

FRIED BREAD.-Here is very nice
side dish, and an economical way Of
using dry slices of bakers bread: Dip
each slice quickly in water if very dry;
then make batter from one egg, two
or three tablespoonfuls of -four, and
milk enough to make thin batter; fry
on griidle or frying-pan; have good
sweet lard, and heated very hot, before
laying in the bread. 1t is delightful.

FAT SHEEP FOR HEAVY FLEECE.-A

FAT SHEEP FOR HEAVY FLEECE.-A
writer in the Country Gentleman says:
There is much said about ewes being
too fat to breed well. In my expert
ence of twenty years, have never seen
anything that led me to think so, pro-
viding the flesh was put on with good
pasture during the summer, and few
roots with good hay in the winter. The
fatter sheep become under such circum-
stances, the more valuable L consider
them. There is no time in the year
when it pays better to feed small al
lowance of grain daily than in the fall
after the feed gets frozen, and it is not
necessary to bring the flock to the barn.
1t is an old saying that "sheep well
Novembered are half-wintered." Keep
the ewes fat, and the lambs will be fat
AID the fleeces heavy. l do not say
that il is better to have the lambs come
early or late; but do say it is best To
have them fat; but whether early or
late, they are salable, All ewes that,
with good care, will not raise a lamb
and shear four pounds of washed wool
should be Sold l have them in my
flock that will shear nine pounds and
raise pair of twins, and it costs no
more to keep one, than sheep that
shears but three pounds. L think that
no one will hear the man who keeps
his flock in this way, complaining be
cause his sheep are all run OUT" and
do not paw him, and the like.
Ticks must be kept out OF the flock
they are the worst enemies of the sheep.
If they are not killed they will destroy
the sheep. For killing them | have
tried nothing better than tobacco juice.

WHERE THE FARM SHOULD BE.-No
small beginner ia gardening should
buy farm near a large city, or so near
as to depend on the city market TO sell
The products of the farm. Take New
York, for instance: small grower OF
vegetables and fruits would not proba-
bly, succeed near that city, because he
would have to send his TRUCK" &c.,
by rail to some commission dealer,
and the expenses and commission
would consume all the profits. To be
near enough TO such city TO be able 10
drive your team into it. and sell your
load from the wagon, would cost you
$500 to 81 900 an acre for land, and
none but gardeners with large capital
own such lands. Again, all of our
large cities are supplied with early
vegetables from the South and by the
time green peas, straw berries, &C., are
grown near them, they have been IN
the market a month or two, and the
prices are very low. In brief. the
Southern supplies of early vegetables
and fruits to our large cities have al
most destroyed the business near them.
The small farmer and gardener should
be near some large country town, con-
tanning a population of some thousand,
or near a small inland city of ten thou
sand or more inhabitants, and where
green peas and strawberries from Flor
ida are not Offer ed in the market in
March and April. He ought TO be with
in an hour'- drive of town, and the
most o. what he would grow he should
sell from his wagon. In some cases.
after learning the ways of doing busi.
ness successfully, he might ship
some things in large quantities to some
commission house in some large city.
But generally all the fruits grown on
small places can be sold in the large in
terror towns and villages at much
higher prices than they command in
cities, after deducting all expenses.

SINGULAR PROPERTY OF TOMATO
LEAvEs.-The following is a transla-

lished at Valparaiso, 5. A. For the
paper containing it we are indebted to p.

Our readers will do well to bear it in
mind, and at the proper time give it a

the leaves around the trunks and

the tomato from exercising its inf1u-
ence. These leaves l carefully un-
rolled, placing upon them fresh ones
from the tomato vine, with the result
of banishing the last insect and ell
abling the trees to grow with luxurl-
ance. Wishing to carry still further
my experiment, l STEPPED in water
some fresh leaves of the tomato, and
sprinkled with this infusion other
plants, roses and oranges. In two days
these were also free from the innumer-
able insects which covered them, and
felt sure that had used the same
means with my melon patch L should
have met with the same result. there

singular and useful property of the to-

SAVE Your SoAPsUDs.-Who would
throw away barrel of soft soap or "A
box of hard soap? Were it not other
wise useful, it would be of great value
as fertilizer, if spread in its raw state
about our fruit trees or berry bushes.
But, after being dissolved in water ana
passing through the wash-tub, CLEAN
ing all the impereeptible elements of
the best manure from sOiled linen, its
rertilizIng power is vastly increased.
Indeed, we may almost say that the av-
erage soapsuds from the kitchen and
laundry is worth more than the soap
which produces it. Do not, then, allow
your soapsuds to run away wasted
while you have trees which it might
benefit.

CREMATION FOR WEEDs.-Mr. Mechi
writes a note recommending fire as a
remedy for weeds wh're the soil be-
comes very foul. He says:
"Where land, especially heavy land,
is full of couch grass and seeds or
weeds, burning is a certain cure. The
inorganic portions of the seeds or weeds
are not destroyed by fire, but they are
thus rendered available for growth OF
useful crops. l. seems to me TO have
been a marvellous mistake to fallow the
land for two years, ana cart away 200
loads per acre of couch grass, as was
Jone on the Hall Farm of Lord Am
herst's near Sevenoaks (sec Royal Ag-
ricultural Society's Journal, vol. viii,
page 80, first series). During the sum-
mer months the soil and it content,
might have been charre1 at small cost,
and an enormous saving effected. The
charred remains of the weeds and their
seeds would have manured the land for
a succession of useful crops. The earth
burning efiectually destroys all seeds. l"

IT Is good plan to harrow pastures
so as to distribute the droppings of cat
tie. The grass about these grows rank,
but the animals do not like it-they
pass it by the whole season. If the
ground was narrowed these droppings
would be evenly distributed and the
grass would be eaten.

STRONG DRINK.-The use of strong
tea, very common habit with women
is a great injury to health. 1t stimu-
lates the nervous system without pro-
viding nourishment. Any portion OF
the human body continuously excited
will speedily wear out. "l'm so ner-
vous," is an expression often hear
and the starts and screams which
tritiing incidents occasion in a company
of ladies proves the assertion TO be true.

MENDING GLAss.-For mending valua
bic glass objects which would be dis

cement may be used. This is mixture

together and exposed to sunlight, the
effect of the latter being TO render the
compound insoiuble even in boiling
water.

THE Practical Farmer says that clap
boards are often split by driving large
nails into the board that has just been
put on, sometimes checking the stud on
which the clapboard is nailed. This
induces leakage and often speedy decay.
The proper method is pointed out as
follows: After one board is nailed on,
let the support nails be stuck into the
sheathing boarus or studs, so as to rest
on the upper edge of the board below.
Then after the ends are fitted, draw out
the nails and lap the elapboard on the
other board not less than one inch. By
observing this direction, no cracks will
be produced near the lower edge of the
boards. 1t will pay well, also, TO make
holes for nails with sharp brad-awl.

WORK HoRsEs.-Nine hours work in
the field, now that we have so many
labor-saving implements is enough for
horse or man. Two hours rest at noon
will be well for the horses, giving
them time to eat, and opportunity to
digest their food. The tenth of the
time thus taken from work will be more
than regained in the better health of
the animals, and their better ability to
work the other nine hours.

NERVOUS CHILDREN. - Nervousness
with child is almost always a matter
of the stomach. A crust of bread will
usually put an end to the most obstinate
perverseness. Children, for this rea-
son, should never be allowed to go to
bed, after fit of crying, with an empty
stomach. A bit of bread and jelly, or a
cup of custard, will bring back smiles
and happiness when all the moral law
fails, and for the soundest Of reasons.

CRIMPING HAIR.-To make the hair
stay in crimp take five cents worth of
gum arabic and add to it just enough
boiling water to dissolve it. When d s.
solved, add enough alcohol to make it
rather thin. Let this stand all night
and then bottle it to prevent the alcohol
from evaporating. This put on the hair
at night, after il is done up in papers
or pins, will make it stay in crimp the
hottest day, and Is perfectly harmless.
