supplies of fresh. cool water. In putting
up swine for exhibition purposes we have
tried many different kinds of food for the
fall exhibitions, but have found none so
desirable as slop made of corn and oats
ground together, One-third of the former,
One of the best ways to prepare it is to
scald it at night and feed next morning;
put on the mass only enough hot water to
thoroughly mOisten it, and then cover up
the barrel tight, so as it can steam well
and make the mass mellow and nice by
morning. If it is found undesirable to
scald it, moisten the mass with water and
then put in one or more pans of sour milk
thick milk or clabber-to cause it to
sour by the time it is used. We use both
or either plan, and find them both good
As an ordinary summer feed we have
found this food to answer almost all pur-
poses, though we do not feed so high as
when feeding the animals for exhibition
purposes, as experience has abundantly
proved that the breeding stock should not
be very fat, only in healthy growing
condition, to insure healthy, vigorous
offspring. The refuse from the truck
patches, such as tomatoes, cabbage, etc,
come nicely into play for summer food in
connection with the above slop, as do
observation-disclosures etc.-Anaerican

Applying Manures.

BY q series Of experiments made some
years ago, in England, it was shown that
barnyard manures benefited crops most
the first season, when covered about two
inches deep with soil. This result appears
reasonable, bat the question Is, how can
farmers place their manures III the ground
at this depth? 1t is not practicable in any
case, but they can approximate to it in
some cases. When manure is plOWed I'M
der in the ordinary way, some of it is COW
cred too deep to benefit the crop the same
season, and it is made available if the
land be plowed the second year. Some
farmers pillow their land, then spread on
the manure and harrow it in, but much Of
il is left upon the surface, and is partially
lost, as the ammonia lhat goes off in the
atmosphere is the virtue of the manure
itself
1t is strange that we should find intel
ligcnt farmers, at this late day in agricul
tural progress, who deny that barnyard
manure can be injured by exposure to the
air ans sun; yet they do exist A few
years ago a farmer in Central New York
wrote several articles for publication, in
which he attempted to prove that when
manure lies upon the surface of the land
and dries up its fertility is still in it,
concentrated in the small crusts that re
main
Farmers, let me caution you against the
folly of carting your manures upon your
field and spreading them for a week or
longer before you pillow them under. II
this be done in the spring, with a warm
sun and high, drying winds, q large por-
ton of them, or, rather, OF their fertility
will pass off in the atmosphere. Don't
be deceived in this matter while your OIL
factory nerves bear a pungent evidence of
the truth OF what | say. You cannot
afford to work your farms on this wasting
principle. Manure is money, and if one
should see you scattering " greenbacks"
over the field, on some windy day, the
evidence of your insanity would be but a
little more tangible thar when you spread
your manures and leave them to evaporate
in the sun and by the Winds" H." an

MONTHLY CALENDAR.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

BAKED SPONGE PUDDING.-Three eggs,
beaten very light; their weight in butter,
in sugar and in flour. This quantity
makes four large cups. Fill the cups
half full, bake in a moderate oven ten
minutes being very careful not to scorch
to be eaten with cream sauce, or hard
sauce.
ONE Of the most agreeable materials for
curtaining windows is coarse, unbleached
cotton. The irregularitY Of the thread
and the roughness Of the surface gives its
soft folds much the charm Of a Russian
crash, and its hue warns the light Of
cool, north windows almost to the glow of
sunshine.
RAIsN PIE.-Take of the following in
gradients, one and one-half pounds of
raisins, picked but not stoned; cover with
cold water and boil slowly till quite soft
mix one tablespoonful each Of flour and
vinegar, reduce it with water to thinness
Of gravy thicKening and stir in raisins
while boiling; take off then and put a
small piece OF butter in, and sweeten to
same as mince pies.
ToGUs BREAD.-Three cups of Indian
NEAL one cup flour, two cups sweet milk,
one cup of sour milk, one-half cup mo-
Iasscs, one tcaspoonful soda. Steam three
hours Should be eaten hot, and is excel
lent as a side dish with cold meat With
good sauce it makes a good plain pud-
ding. The above recipe was sent the
Cdr5Stsan Union by New England house
wife, and that Journal therefore thinks it
can safely vouch for its goodness.
A SIMPLE little recipe for tomato soup
is given by lady in the KouSetold. She
pronounces it good and our readers can
try for themselves: Boil one quart Of
AIMED tomatoes one and ono-haf min
utes, add one quart Of boiling water, boil
fifteen minutes, then nearly a teaspoonful
OF soda, or enough to neutraliZe the acid
ity; to this add one quart Of rich milk,
four or five rolled crackers, let it boil {;
season with butter, pepper and salt.
Please try it; l think some Of you will
surely like it."
