pour frothed cream upon it, as high as
II will lie on.

AGRICULTURAL.

OVER CROPPRG.-0yer cropping Is
such a general evil that we feel con-
strained, as the planting season is about
10 begin, 10 utter a protest against such
a senseless and mischieyous practice.
No mar can farm satisfactorily or pro-
ntably who plants more than he can
plant well and then cultivate well.
This has been n Of the curses Of the
South, and strange 10 say, the fascina-
tion Of planting a large acreage SEEM
10 be an irresistible temptation In face
Of repeated failures. All know who
have tried both ways that one acre well
planted and cultivated Is not only Gull
tlyated with far less labor and wear and
t.Gr Of horsefesh, but makes a larger
crop and 1t Is saved with less labor. Yet
there are hundreds of farmers who,
after half preparing their land, plant
twice as much as they ought, get hope
lessly caught In the grass and weeds,
are always in a hurry, yet never catch
up with their work, and after all make
q poor crop. This is not sensible and
does not pay. Good cultivation Is alb
solutely essential 10 successful farming,
hence every farmer ought to get the
very best tools. They may cost a little
more, but they pay In the end. Crops
should be planted in ground we'll pre-
pared and SO early that the farmer is
ready for the grass before IL is ready for
him, then there will be some chance of
keeping ahead of it. A crop once badly
in the grass eve fully reccGers from
It., Therefore all time and laOor-saving
machines if good are paying invest
ments. If the planter does the work of
two men and horses and enables a far
mer to get through planting early and
be ready to cultivate it is a good invest
ment. If a c%ultivatOr does the work of
two old-fashioned tools and in a better
manner, buy it, tits a good investment.
Southern farmers cannot afford to plod
along with old-fashioned tools when
others are striding ahead, doing twice
the work with half the abor.-S0uthern
Farmer.

A REMEDY FOR CROUP.-A cores
pondent sends to the Chicago Tribune
the following:
"Many mothers would like a quick
and sure remedy in an emergency for
the Group, which generally takes us
unawares about midnight. The ear
detects it by the hoarse wheeze or
whistle in the throat. / always have
at home some fresh lard. J give the
child a %teaspoonful warmed TO the con-
slstency of oil, but not hot. In a few
minutes l follow with another, until
vomiting ensues. Battle the feet in
warm mustard water. Wiring a flannel
out of hot water, and lay across the
chest, and lay a dry flannel over it;
then wrap the child in a wooden
blanket. In a short time he will per-
spire %profusely, and you can enjoy
your rest for the remainder of the night.
The object of using the lard is that the
retching is painless, and prevents the
formation Of mucus. This l know is
good, having, tried it myself, and know
others who have always used it sue
cessfully."

Dyeing Rdw COtton.-The following
is considered the best and easiest way
for dyeing raw cotton. Boil with %
lbs. extract of lOgwood for 100 lbs, till
it is all well penetrated, then dry; then
boil slowly with 10 lbs, chromate of
potash and 8 lbs. soda crystals; make
the liquor run, take out, and keep over
night, or one or two days; then wash
well. That is the best and fastest black
and stands well.

HOGS ON CLovER.-Most farmers per-
NIT their clover to head out before
turning on it, but this is not our prac-
tice, and years Of experience have salts
fled us that it is not the most economical
plan. We turn our hogs on the clover
rs soon as it will afford a good bite, and
keep enough on it, if possible, to pre-
vent 1t from heading out. In this way
the clover will last through the entire
summer and fall, and will be much
more lik ely to survive the winter than
if permitted to head out. Upon the con-
trary, if hogs are kept of until the clo-
yer is In bloom, they will simply 60
through the field, bite off the blossoms,
and the remainder will be trampled
under foot and lost for all feeding pur-
poses.

HUsK BAsKETs.-Very nice baskets
and wall pockets can be made by taking
pasteboard and cutting it just the shape
you desire your basket, and then pro-
cure some husks; some prefer the out
side husk, but generally the inside husk
is used, 1t being so much whittier and
easier to handle. Take the husk and
cut it into strips three-quarters of an
inch wide lengthwise of the husk, then
cut in lengths n inch and a half long,
then double in the centre lengthwise,
then double them over your finger so
as to form a nice point in the centre,
tapping the ends so as to sew on the
pasteboard, putting the open side next
to the Dashboard, then sew it on the
pasteboard. Sew one row around the
outer edge of the board, letting each
one lap so as to hide the stitches in each
piece, and then fill up the centre in the
same way, letting each row cover the
stitches above; make a handle by taking
a narrow strip of ~pasteboard and sew
ing one row of husks on each side, then
one through the centre, hiding the ends
of the outside row; a strip like this
around the bottom of the basket i'm
proves it very much.

SOFT SWEET BREAD.-Take one-half
cake of compressed dry hop yeast, dis
solve in half pint of warm water, taxi
ing care not to scald it, thicken with
flour, and let stand until perfectly
light; or use one-half pint of soft
bakers yeast; this will be enough
yeast for two lOaves; when the yeast
is light and ready boil two quarts of
sweet milk; put in it one tablespoon
full salt, IN of butter, one Of white
sugar; sift three quarts of flour; stir
into a thick batter while the milk is hot
enough to scald the flour; then let it
stand to cool before the yeast is added (;
then beat into a sponge, and set in a
warm place until perfectly light; then
have sifted flour, and mold up your
bread well, but not too stiff; cover
warm, and let rise very light; then
mold carefully, not adding any flour
except what is necessary to keep it
from sticking to your tray or board
place in pans, and, in half an hour
bake in an e Place your hand in
the oven and count 20; if the heat
should be too great on your hand before
you get 20 counted, and you have to
withdraw, it, the oven is too hot, and
must be regulated to an even tempera-
ture of heat. The time of baking is one
hour. This receipt will make two
medium-sized loaves. If sweet milk or
butter oanno be had, use warm water
and sweet lard.

CONSIDERABLE interest seems to be
awakened among some of u Eastern
farmers about sowing oats and barley
together. Those who have tried it have
been quite successful, securing more to
the acre than If the crops were sowed
alone. A trile more seed is used to the
acre than when either is sown singly.
The barley natures first, yet as theIoats
Dome forward they seem to shade it, and
the field which at first seemed all barley
gradually comes to appear to be all oats.
AS soon as the top kernels of the latter
are ripe the grain is cut and harvested
with wooden forks, the same as if all
barley,

SALAD.-In the preparation Of salads
America is far behind other countries.
No French or German peasant could
live without his salad. If lettuce can
not be obtained a few cold boiled pOta-
toes or string beans, with a bit Of onion
or parsley, will do just as well. Hun
dreds Of bits and ends, which are
thrown away by An American house
wife, could be compounded into a deli
cious salad with a suitable dressing. In
u cities the art of salad-making is
rapidly advancing, and nearly every
housewife prides herself upon the COM
position of a creamy mayOnnaise; but
In the country, where lettuce and hun
dreds Of salad vegetables and grasses
grow in perfection, the art of salad
making Is almost unknown. Many re-
cipes for salads of fish, meat and greens
have come down to us in old Roman
records, showing that the people Of
olden time were not behind the present
day in their attention to that appetizing
addition to a meal. 1t is almost i'm
possible to give exact directions for the
mixing of a savOry salad. This Is
thing which should never be left TO the
hands Of an ordinary cook, for no dish
requires so much delicacy of prepara-
ton. Every cultivated man or woman
should understand this subtle mystery.
The salad is the aesthetic dish of the
meal, the refreshment and recreation
after the more solid plates which have
satisfied the appetite, and it should be a
direct offering from the hostess to the
delicate palate of her guests. If the
salad is delicious, letnO n fear for the
rest of the dinner, for that is a direct
index to the whole character of the
cuisine.

A NOVEL FRUIT-PRoTEcToR. - We
have always urged the importance of
placing the hawk among the birds
which should be protected, being far
superior to the American robin. The
London Garden states a very successful
experiment by which the value of the
hawk Is increased. A tame one was
tethered by the leg in a strawberry
patch. The blackbirds (nearly the same
US our robin) and the thrushes took care
not to come nearer than the garden
wall, when they uttered the cry of dan
ger, but kept away from the strawbor-
rles. Country Gentleman.
