BEEF TEA, AND HOW TO PREPARE 1T.
First let us take that probably mos

First let ug take that probably most
valuable of all invalids' preparations,
viz: beef tea The quickest and best
method of preparing good beef tea is as
follows: Take a pound of good lean
gravy beef, cut it up into little pieces,
pour over them pint of cold water and
add a little salt Then take fork and
squeeze these pieces In every direction,
in orderfas much as possible, to extract
the juices out of the meat. Next place
it ALI. e., both water and meat-in an
enaIneled saucepan, and pct it by the
side of the fire, not oD the fire, and grad
ually heat it, taking the greatest care
that it does not boil. Having continued
this process for an hour and a half or
two hours, during the last half hour
keeping the tea hot without even sim
meriEg, strain the whole off through
strainer, pressing the meat again with
spoon, so as to squeeze as much as posi-
bic all the goodness out of it. Then re-
move all the fat. This can be done by
carefully skimming it, or, il time will
allow, by letting it get cold, when the fat
will harden on the top. Now to my mind
good beef tea is one of the incest things
we can take when sick, but sick persons
tire of it and loathe it. When this is
the case, very often by adding a little
sherry and allowing it TO get cold (wheD,
if properly made, it will be a jelly,
patients will take it in this form when
they could not in the liquid state.

A MAN WHO KNEW HIS BUSINESS -
John johnson, of Geneva, Y. Y, came
to this country with little more means
than to plant him on his American farm.
He saw the needs of his soil and COM
menced draining off his surplus water,
and the jeers of his neighbors at his fol-
Iy were soon turned to astonishment at
the crops he produced. They saw him
reap a wheat crop double the average
of the State. raise cattle and feed sheep
at profit, while Others reported only
loss. He proceeded, with the calm con-
fidence of knowledge, to tile drain his
500 acies, at an expense much greater
than he paid fer his farm; but for some
years, in relief of his old age, he has been
able to rent portions of it for SIS per
acre. He had faith in his business -

ENCOURAGEMENT OF FOREsTTREEs.

In view of the rapid decline of the for
ests of the country, it behooves us to
look about us and consider for a mo-
rnent what we are TO do, some years
hence, for wood and timber. While
good is being superseded by iron for
many of the uses that it is usually put
70, yet there are still a great many things
for which it cannot be substituted.
There are a great many acres of land
every year denuded of the natural
growth, that il would be found, upon
mature consideration. would Fay better
to let it remain-laud that is rough and
hilly. and barren for agricultural pur-
poses, and yet would pay good interest
in growing timber. And there is anoth-
er potent reason why goodly proper
tion of the land in every section of the
country should be left in wood-that is,
to secure a more equitable distribution
of rainfall. 1t has now been established,
pretty conclusively, by scientific obser-
walton, that just about in proportion to
the amount of land that is brought
under cultivation, do we suffer from the
effects of drought. Now these are mat
ters of very serious consideration for
farmers. We say by all means encour-
age the growth of wood, where it is not
seriously detrimental to the general
interests of the farm. 1t will be found
to be beneficial, especially on the level
country, to plant trees along the fences
that divide the fields-as wind-breaks in
the winter. In many places the red
cedar will spring up spontaneously, and
is an excellent wind-break, as well
as being valuable for timber purposes.
One of the best trees to plant is the yell
low or mountain locust: it is a rapid
grower, and one of the most durable Of
woods for all purposes. 1t is a good
plan to plant them on barren knolls,
where crops will not grow well, as they
possess the faculty of improving the
land, where they grow in a most wonder
full degree.

FARMERS AS HORSE BREEDERS.-The
farmers here are overstocked with
horses and each one wants TO sell from
one to four good work horses During
the war they sold all the horses they
could spare at good paying prices, and
have been raising horses on nearly every
farm every year since. till they are run
mug over full of good team horses. which
they want to sell in droves, and no man
is hardly willing to take one as a gift
until he can rid himself of what he has.
They seem to be the worst stock kept to
be overstocked with, for they are not an
eatable article, yet they are an eating
commodity. / think there is more dan
ger of the farmers in Duchess county
being overstocked with horses than with
any other stock There is such an ado
about fast horses, so many graded tracks
to train them on, so much ignorant
selfishness existing among all classes, and
about every man thinks his own colt the
fastest, that the great danger nowis too
much ''hoss." Every candid man in the
country knows of several instances
where too much 'hoss" has ruined his
owner. Young man do not get hoss on
the braiu, for it is terrible complaint
to get rid of, when once fairly seated.
Besides it fastens almost all other bad
diseases on you, in spite of all you can
do to keep them off-such as chewing,
smoking, drinking, gambling, swearing
idling away your time-and it is scarcely
too much to say that too much ''hoss" is
the mother of vices.-POughkeepsie Tele-
grdph.

EARLY PLANTING.-It is not necess-
ary to tell experienced farmers the ad-
vantages of early planting; they all
understand these advantages and plan
and labor accordingly. The months of
july. and August generally determine
the amount of crop, and continued dry
spell of weather in these months is of
common occurrence At this season of
tile year, the early planting, if it has
received proper care and attention,
shades the ground and protects from the
scorching rays of the sun, and the roots
having penetrated the soil the crop is in
better condition to stand ''drouth"
than the late planting with its small
growth of roots and tops. What is true
of the corn crop is applicable to all other
crops-all should be planted as soon as
the soil is warm and in good condition.

LIVE STOCK TRANSPORTATION.

The bill relating to the transportation
Of live stock which passed the Senate of
the United States is of vital interest to
shippers of butchers stock to Eastern
markets. 1t provides that no corpora
ton transporting animals from one state
to another shall confine the same in
vehicles, railroad cars, boats or vessels
of any description for a longer period
than twenty-four consecutive hours,
without unloading the same for rest,
watering and feeding, for period of at
least seven consecutive hours, unless
prevented from SO unloading by storm or
other accidental causes; that animals so
unloaded shall be properly fed and
watered during the rest by the owner or
person having the custody thereof, or in
case of his default in so doing, then or
the company officials, at the expense of
the owner or custodian; said officials not
being liable and the company having a
lien upon the animals for food, care and
custody; that the penalty for failing to
comply with the provisions of this law
shall be fine of not less than 800 and
not more than $500, or by imprisonment
for no more than one year, or both.
But when animals shall be carried in ve-
hicles where they have proper food,
water, space and rest, the provisions in
relation to unloading shall not apply.

WHAT CAME OF SOME BEANs.-The
Orleans american says: ''In the year
1886, Ira Vinegar brought small guam
tity of white beans from Rensselaer,
county and gave pint of them to Mr.
Coe, father of Tunis H. Coe, of Yates.
These Mr.. Coe planted, and from them
harvested three pecks, which he gave to
Tunis HI. and his brother, who planted
them in 1888 upon two acres of ground,
and got crop of about fifty five bushels.
These beans were part pea and part
medium, and the Coe brothers sold them
to II. V. Prentice, at the time doing
business in Albion, for 81. Is per bushel.
These beans Mr. Prentice took Lains to
distribute among the farmers for seed.
In 1S43 over one hundred acres of beans
were planted in the town of Yates, and
in some few other portions of the coun-
ty, and the crop from that planting was
so large as to glut the Eastern market,
beans bringing only 60 cents per bushel
in Boston. From that beginning Oo-
leans county rapidly developed into one
of the greatest bean growing counties,
maintaining its ascendency in that line
up to the present time.

TANsY AND PEACHES Il have farm

Clinton, twelve miles back from the lake,
a gentleman who has succeeded in rails
ing peaches, gives the credit of his sue
cess largely to the growing OF tansy over
the roots of the peach trees Query-if
the tansy exerts the beneficial influence
attributed to it, or is it as protector in
the same way that grass or sod some
times protects, or is it partly owing to
the strong odor driving away the borer9
R.H. I'VE have often heard of tansy as
a repellant of the insect which lays the
eggs of the peach grub, but have no
experience with it in this way, as it is
much easier to clear out the grubs with
the point of knife, then to plant tansy
1T the foot of each tree, which would
not fasor clean cultivation. Country

COST OF THE NUTRITIVE ELEMENTS
OF MANURE.

According to Professor Stockbridge,
the chemical elements in bushel of
corn should cost forty one cents. This
refers only to the three leading elements.
After applying manure for fifty bushels
he.recently obtained ninety four bushels.
worth, according to his estimate, one
shundred and forty-four dollars, with the
stalks, which ought to pay well, as he
thinks, for labor, taxes, etc., over and
above the cost of chemicals. But he
has not evidently omitted to mention
the exhaustion of the soil. Having sup
piled the necessary elements for fifty
bushels only out of ninety-four, it is
clear that the other forty-four bushels
have been obtained mt the expense of
fertility previously existing in the soil.
If it costs forty-one cents to restore to
the earth the nutIitive elements taken
out by each bushel of corn, then the
charge for manure on the Dinety-four
bushels will be thirty eight dollars and
fifty-four cents in addition to the cost of
applying it. Now the cost of seed,
interest, taxes and labor, including
harvesting and husking, is, accordingto
DIR. Sturtevant, thirty eight dollars and
forty-two cents fo ran acre yielding
eighty-two and a half bushels. If we
add to this the cost of applying the
manure, the total per acre will be about
eighty dollars. This leaves the Profess
or a margin of fifty-four dollars as his
profit per acre. But the cost for each
bushel, if the stalks are charged as usual
-four and half tons at eight dollars
per ton-will be forty six cents. But
here let us repeat, what we have often
said before, that this mode of estimat-
ing stalks is not correct. The total cost
of the crop should be divided between
the grain and the stover in the ratio of
their actual value.

A CORRESPONDENT says: For kitchen

than a coat of hard paint; the cracks
should be filled with putty before it is
applied, and the paint allowed to dry at
least two weeks before using. Then it

should never be allowed to touch it.

EVERY human being who eat bread or
wears clothes, has a direct interest in
the results of the tillage of the soil, and
in farm economy in general. Hunger
and nakednesS are wants of the most ur-
gent character. The Creator of all
things has placed these wants alike in
every being. All are equally dependent
on successful agriculture for the means
of happiness. Let the soil become per-
manently exhausted; or far less, let
famine prevail over the land but single
year, and the heart shrinks from coutem-
plating the scenes that would inevitably
follow so great Il calamity. A wise,
prudent population will always prepare
for the future.

PAPRRING and painting are best done
in cold weather, especially the latter, for
the wood absorbs the oil of paint much
more than in warm weather; while in
cold weather the oil hardens on the out
side, making coat which will protect
the wood instead of soaking into it.

Making Land i'm Holland.

The work of draining off an inland
sea, now going on in Holland, will take
from twelve to twenty years. About
1856, TIC acres will be inclosed by Che
dyke, and deducting one-tenth for
canals, there will remain nearly 440, 1000
acres, of which nearly $4,000 acres will
be sandy, of little use to agriculture,
but invaluable for public works. The
reservoirs will be made on this surface,
and will cover about $500 acres. The
cost of the work is expected to be about
10000 in gold, or about $123 an
acre for 100000 acres. But this does
not include interest, which on capital
of $48, 100000 for say sixteen years,
would be serious matter. With inter
est computed on an advantageous ar
rangement with the government, the
cost would be $51, ,750, 900, or $15S per
acre. The HARLEM drainage cost only
1928, and even that didnot pay, though the
land has doubled in value since. 1t is
estimated that the addition of this terri
tory to Holland will increase the reve-
nues $500, 600 yearly. -
