To MAKE APPLE-SNow.-Take one
dozen apples, boil them over a slow fire
until they are soft, then remove the
skins and cores; beat the apples well
with a wooden spoon until they become
frOthy; strain through sieve; then
beat the whites of twelve eggs until you
can turn the dish upside down and not
spill out; add half pound of sifted re-
fined sugar; mix it with the apples,
then beat all together until it looks like
snow; place il on cake-dish, build it
up as high as possible, place sponge
cake or lady fingers around the sides
like charlotte russo"

PLAsTER.-A bushel of ground gyp-
sum per acre will be found a very use
full application for young clover, or for
oats when they are little above
ground. Gypsum is useful for its own
constituents, without depending upon
its absorption of ammonia from the air.
All the ammonia we get that way will
be very poor help. At fifty cents a
bushel, plas er is cheap fertilizer for
clover, oats or corn.

CAUSES OF PooR BUTTER. causes
of poor butter are various, the most i'm
portant of which are lack of cleanliness,
the want of proper dairy utensils, the
need of good dairy room or place for
setting the milk, neglect in manipula-
ting the cream at the right time, unskil-
ful working, packing, and storing the
butter, and finally, lack of knowledge
In part or whole of the process re-
quired for making prime article.

AGRICULTURAL.

FRUIT RAISING AS BUsINEss.-Pro-
fessor Beale, of the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, gives the farmers of his
State the following advice: "To make
the orchards more profitable, our peo-
pie must give them more attention. Ii
is too often the case that a farmer puts
but little labor on his orchard, and in
autumn he expects and sometimes finds
it 10 be the most profitable part of the
farm. To be more successful he must
make more of business of IL. In the
long run, care, study and Intelligent
labor will bring good returns in the
orchard as well Is in the care of stock,
in ditching, good pl0wing or selecting
good seed wheat. Our people need to
know more of the hatits of insects, more
animal and vegetable physiology, more
of chemistry, mechanism, political
economy and more of everything in the
line of an education not only 10 make
them good citizens, but TO enable them
TO get better returns for their labor.
We need to become familiar with what
has already been discovered and be-
come well established, and we need
still more 10 see the importance and
profit in doing things according to the
most approved methods. As our coun-
try grows older extra care will prob
ably produce better fruit. On account
OF the greater competition, the raiser OF
poor fruit will find it Improbable and
quit the business. The eproper manage
agement of each variety will be better
understood. Slip-shod pioneer farm
ing is fast ceasing TO be profitable.
Brain with hand work, study with
practice, will take the ascendancy and
occupy the fields, the orchards, and the
gardens"
Has any one of our readers ever tried
the same treatment for his orchard as
he applies to his fields. From the lat
ter no good farmer will try 10 take
many crops without an application of
manure in some form, and yet we eX
pect crop OF fruit year after year with
out any manure. On the other hand
there is no doubt danger nf applying
too much barnyard manure. Wood
ashes, lime, salt, and soda are all valu-
able.

CARE OF HARM ss.-Take meats foot
oil and ivory black-the latter well pull
verized, or TO be made so before using.
Mix thoroughly-adding the black until
the oil is well colored, or quite black.
In cool weather the oil should be
warmed somewhat before mixing. With
a sponge apply light coat of the mix
ture-only what the leather will readily
absorb, unless the harness is very dry
in which case a heavy coat may be ne
cessary. After the harness is dry
which will be in from two hours TO a
half or whole day, depending upon
the weather and previous condition of
the leather-wash thoroughly with soap
suds. In making the suds use good cas-
tile soap and cold rain water. Warm
water should never be used on harness
leather.) Apply the suds with asponge.
Rub on with buckskin- This will give
your harness a nice, glossy surface, and
the leather will retain a good color and
continue pliable for months. If it be-
comes sOiled with mud or sweat, an ap-
plicatiOn of soap and water, as above
directed without oiiing), will be sufli-
cient TO give il bright appearance.
Two applications of this oil and black
mixture a year (Or once every six
months) will be sufficient TO keep har-
ness, as ordinarily used, in good order.

| LITTLE ECONOMIEs.-We read many
receipts for currant jelly, currant jam,
&C., but want to suggest two modes
of saving this fruit otherwise than by
cooking:
/. Dried Cmrants. = Lay them on
earthen plates, sprinkle over them a
little white sugar-say a dessert-spoon-
full to dining plate of thinly spread
fruit-dry perfectly in WELL
tempered oven; but as drying currants
oven they may stand near the stove or
in the sun until perfectly dry. Black
English currants dry well in the same
way without sugar, and make an ex-
ceilent substitute for the imported cur
rants and raisins i'm mince pies.
III. To Keep CurTdnts Fresh for T,oo or
Three Moaths.-In many places in Ger
many currant bushes are trimmed up
with only one stalk into regular tree
shape. As soon as the currants are ripe
not dead ripe-they take nice straw
and make little straw stacks over the
bushes they wish to preserve, tying the
straw at the top in a pointed shape to
shed water, and not having the stack so
thick as to exclude the air. If you can
not get the straw, take old clothes and
tie over the bushes, drawing in close
around the bottom. Last October
picked delicious currants from my
bushes, merely protecting them in the
latter way. Many will inevitably fall
before October, but it is such a luxury
TO have this refreshing fruit as the sea-
son advances that one willingly bears
with the loss of small portion of it.
iii. GOoSeberries and other Mdrmdlddes.
Pick the fruit clean, cook thoroughly
ana pass through sieve; add equal
weights of sugar and water, so that
when the marmalade has been cooked
for an hour and is cold it will spread as
thinly as honey. Anything, from hot
cakes to cold bread. comes well recon-
mended to the palate when eonscien-
tiously decorated with a nice coat OF
marmalade.
