Cheap Production.

CHEAP production is now the chief
necessity of our agriculture. Ameri-
can farmers have now to compete with
the whole world, and many of our
competitors live very poorly and cheap
ly, and have land as cheap as ours. To
| compete with these, we are under the
disadvantage that we cannot live as
poorly or as cheaply as they do, our
higher civilization not admitting of it,
We must, then, raise larger crops, with
the same labor, than they do, or use
our labor more effectively. Many per-
sons would have us believe that we
must necessarily produce as high an
average per acre as the English farm
erS do or fail in our competition with
them. There is no necessity for this.
There is point in production beyond
which we cannot 60 with profit. The
Kansas or Nebraska farmer who grows
twenty-five bushels of wheat every
other year for twenty years upon his
rich, cheap soil without manure, and
with minimum of labor and cost,
can easily compete with the English
farmer, who pays an annual rent equal
to the whole purchase money of his
competitors farm, and has to spend
ten or twelve dollars per acre in ma
nure. But if the Western farmer
should, by fertilizing his land, double
its yield, the extra twenty-five bushels
would not be grown at profit. Here
is principle which affects our whole
agriculture, and no rules can be safely
laid down for us which violate this
principle. We must discover the limit
of the profitable production of our
farms, each farmer for himself, and
avoid any attempts to pass that limit
The whole secret of good and profit
able farming is to extend the limit as
far as possible; it is bad and unprOft-
able farming to either fall below that
limit or to go beyond it. There are
instances in which an extremely large
yield is grown at a positive loss, as
was the case of that farmer who
raised 100 bushels of corn per acre
with the expenditure of $1O2 worth of
manure and labor, while he raised
sixty bushels without the manure and
with less than half the labor. This
may be called thigh farming" but it
is not profitable. american AgricuZ-

CLEANING SILvER-PLATED WARE.
The use of soap gives them a leaden
hue. When furnished rub them with
little fine whiting wet with water;
then wash them clean in soft, warm
water Dry them, after which polish

THAT most delicious of vegetables,
squash, is often spoiled by the same
cause that makes potatoes UNBEATABLE
the water in or over which it is cooked
is not thoroughly dried out. Squash
should be steamed, and the pieces,
when they are done, must be squeezed
in a coarse cloth until the vegetable is
comparatively dry. Then beat it up
briskly and season literally with but
ter, pepper and salt. Don't allow
squash to come to the table ''mushy''
and stringy.
WASHING FLUID.-The following
fluid is a valuable one for assisting in
large washings. 1t renders the clothes
white and clean with less than half
the rubbing and does not injure them:
Dissolve d lbs. of washing soda and
d ID. boraX in a gallon of water by
boiling. When the solution is cold
add a na1f teacupful of aqua am

place the whole in well corked jug.
Use a teacupful to every pail of water

To CLEAN GLOVES. ladies will
be glad to learn how to make their old
kid gloves almost as good as new.
Make a thick mucilage by boiling a
a handful of fiaxseed; add little dis
solved soap; then when the mixture
cools place the gloves on the hands,
and with piece of white flannel rub
the mixture upon the gloves until they
are clean. Use only enough OF the
mixture to remove the dirt without
wetting entirely through the glove.
Then rub them dry before fire.

A LADY writes an Eastern Ex-

what the Yankee housekeeper calls
"jedgment." Half the vegetables
cooked are spoiled by being just half
done. Hard potatoes, stringy squash,
woodeny beets, and tough onions ex-
asperate anybody who cares for good
food. These most delicious foods are
utterly detestable if not thoroughly
done, yetpeople go on eating them in
definitely, unconscious apparently that
they can be made to taste any better.

Beef is said to be more wholesome
for human food than pork, for the
simple reason that it contains all the
properties in better proportion to sup
ply the demand of the system. How
can pork contain the phosphate and
heterogeneous qualities, unless fed upon
food containing these properties? For
profit and good wholesome pork, farm
ers will find that the less corn, which
is largely carbOnaceous, is fed to stock
hogs during summer. the better. AL
low them plenty of grass, with an
abundance of good water and cool
shade, and the run of the Stubble fields
as soon as the grain is removed. They
will destroy many foul weeds, which
are nutritious for food, and gather up
the stray heads of grain, SO that moth
ing is lost: besides it gives them a
fresh place as a sanitiye measure, and
gives them a new impetus for thrift.
Do not neglect them, though no food
is needed, for little attentions daily
bestowed, with a little salt, etc., are
not more appreciated by any other an
imal
The eye of the owner in this case
certainly fattens the stock. The hog
is naturally lazy animal, and unless
he has motive or some impetus to
move him about, he invites all the
forms of "cholera'' which are under

Summer Care Of Stock.

THERE is no product of the farm
which brings a price SO uniformly good
as pork, with an increasing foreign de-
mand, greater, in proportion, than the
production in our own country. Judg-
ing from our own experience, this need
not be, from the resources, combining
the corn and the grass fields Of the
West, with more skillful management,
and the pork product of to-day may be
very nearly or quite doubled without
any additional expense. AS rule, the
farmers of the fertile prairies of the
West do not use this great natural food
and fertilizer, clover, enough. 1t is
food for the swine, it is food for the
soil. The more clover the morn corn
and other products of the farm, and
the more produce the more pork, and
the more pork the more money in your
pocket. 1t is none of the borrowing
from Peter to pay Paul. process, either
for while wealth is being added to the
farmers store, the land is growing
richer, too.
SO that with proper system Of TO-
tatioA of crops, and management of
swine based upon scientific principles,
the land may be made to produce more,
and the hogs may be made to weigh
more, upon the same amount of food
and bring better plice per hundred,
and there will be less loss from disease
than is now constantly occurring. A
few simple rules, persistently carried
out, will revolutiOniZe all the ordinary
methods of swine management now in
use A greater variety of food should
be provided, with plenty of room.
Grass is the least expensive food for
hogs. and a kind of food that seems to
put them just in the proper condition
to prepare them for the fattening
process when the time comes for them
to be fed more expensive food.
Exercise is just as essential to the
continued health of the growing hog
as TO any other animal, and to under
take to keep swine closely confined
during the whole period of their
growth, and feed them wholly upon
carbonaceous diet, and expect them to
remain in healthy condition, is pre-
posterous. Corn puts the finishing
touch to the avoirdupois Of a great
porker, yet to produce the best results.
he must be as well prepared for it as
the equine Dexter is for his course on
the race track. That the hog may
have vigorous digestion. a large,
roomy frame, and healthy organism,
the conditions must be such as to de-
velop them.

Leather in One Hour.

WONDERFUL are the changes that
have been effected Of late years in the
manufacture of leather by the use of
chemicals and machinery in place of
the old-fashioned tan-pits and the slow
manipulation of the currier and tan
ner. If some of our old leather-manu-
facturers could be resurrected-men
who we're accustomed to soaking their
hides for years and turning them as
slduously at certain seasOns-how they
would stare to see the present process
es. But every day we hear of some
thing new in this directian A Joint
stock company was recently formed in
Detroit for the purpose Of tanning
leather in one hour, We give the in
formation for what it S worth: but it
certainly does look like sleight-of-hand.
The process is a chemical one, per-
formed by the action of certain mex
pensive materials, the compromising of
which in the right proportions is a Sc
cret. It is claimed that robes, tanned
with the hair on, are soft as the finest
wool; hides of the deer, horse, dog,
ETC., are smooth and soft, while calf
and kip show the texture and grain
which good shoemakers most admire.
No bark is required except a little to
give the proper color to the leather.
Bark is worth So to 50 a cord, and
about 200 cords are required to tan
1000 hides by the common method.
Two cords would be sufficient to give
the proper color to the same number
of hides, and the saving in this item
will be enormous. We understand
that the company are turning out from
1000 to 5000 hides per month. How
the article is wearing we have not been
able TO ascertain, but shall watch the
result with interest.-Bostoqa CONNER

RATS greatly infest ships, and are
by them conveyed to every part Of the
world. So industriously do they make
homes for themselves in the numerous
crannies and corners in the hull of a
ship that it is impossible to get rid of
them. Ships take out rats as well as
passengers and cargo every voyage
whether the former remain in the ship
at port is best known to themselves.
When the East India Company had
ships of their own they employed rat
catcher, who sometimes captured 500
rats in one ship just returned from
Calcutta. The ship rat is often the
black species. Sometimes black and
brown inhabit the same vessel. and
unless they carry on perpetual hos
tilities the one party will keep in the
head of the vessel and the other to the
stern.
