Setting Trees.

The art of making fruit and other
trees grow and thrive, lies in few brief
rules, as follows:
l. Dig them up with great care, re-
tanning large proportion of their roots
and any roots man gled, to be cut Off at
the mangled ends smoothly with sharp
knife
,. To be kept in the shade, if set out
the same day they are dug up. If not
set the same day, dig trench in your
garden deep enough to receive the roots,
pack in the trees side by side as closely
as possible, with the tops touching the
ground, then cover the roots foot deep
with soil, treading and packing it
around the roots and if the trees are TO
remain a few days, it would be well to
cover their tops with any coarse litter to
shade them from the sun.
3. When set, trim the trees according
to the extent or quantity of roots they
have, by shortening in the branches
and by removing superlluous branch
here and there. From one-third to one
half of the top of tree, when reset,
should always be shortened in.
4. Dig holes Of ample size, so that all
the roots will be in their natural, hori-
zontal position; and place the surface
soil by itself, to be first used around the
roots, and the subsoil on top. Pack the
earth firmly among the roots, and be-
fore the holes are entirely filled up,
turn half pail of water into each, and
wait few hours to finish filling them.
5. No manure should be put among
the roots but it may be placed over them,
near the surfaceof the ground. A mulch
of barnyard litter around the trunks of
the trees is very good toward warding
off the effects of drouth.

ice Cream without either Cream or Ice.

Take 3 eggs, quart of milk, teacup-
full sugar. Put the milk upon the stove
TO boil; beat up the yolks of the eggs
with the sugar until thoroughly mixed
and light; then pour into the milk,
and boil until the compound slightly
thickens. Then set it out to cool.
When thoroughly cold, flavor with
vanilla to your taste, and then add the
whites of the eggs first beating them to
asnowy froth. Your ice cream is then
made set it out in the cold and let it
freeze. 1t will not become solid, even if
not touched but little stirring up two
or three times while freezing will make
it lighter. OF course this can only be
made in freezing weather. But, when
the weather is not cold enough to freeze
it, all you have TO do is, drop the white
froth upon the top of the compound,
instead Of mixing and then you have

Mr.. n. B. Thurber, OF New York,
writing from Japan to the american
Grocer" gives the following account OF
the Japanese method Of cooking rice I:
Rice here is worth from $l.50 to S1.75
per picul of 1873 pounds, or about one
and one-eighth to one and three eighth
cents per pound; at first thought 1t
seems as If there might be a profit to
import it into the United States, but
oar duty of two and half cents per
pound, together with freight Insurance
and premium on gold, brings il up to u
figure where there is no margin. They
know how TO cook rice here, though,
and for the benefit of grocers and con-
sumers in the United States, l investi-
gated the matter. Only just enough
cold water is poured on to prevent the
rice from burning to the bottom of the
pot, which has aclose-fitting cover, and,
with a moderate fire, the rice is steamed
rather than boiled, until it is nearly
done /; then the cover is taken Off, the
surplus steam and moisture allowed to
escape, and the rice turns ort mass of
snow white kernels, each separate from
the others, and as much superior to the
soggy mass we usually get in the
United States, as fine mealy potato is
to the water soaked article. l have
seen something approaching this in our
southern states, but L do not think even
there they do it as skillfully as it is done
here, and in the northern states but very
few persons understand how to cook
rice properly. l am sure that If cooked
as it is here, the consumption of this
wholesome and delicious cereal would
largely increase in America.
