The Geraniums.

Among the many plants for garden or
house decoration, nothing will surpass the
geranium in brilliancy and abundance of
bloom. Many err in starting their slips, Civ
ing them too much water, thereby causing
them to damp off and die, especially if they
are not well ripened, but seem succulent.
For the past two or three years I have tried
the following plan, and have never lost cut
ting: About the middle of August look
over my geranium plants, and after selecting
suitable branches, / take sharp knife and
cut slanting upward half through the stalk
just below the leaf, being careful to make the
cut about two or three inches from the end
of the branch, as they will root more readily
at that point, and make better shaped plants
Than if the slips are taller. let them re-
main on the plants about week after being
cut, as by that time callus is formed, and
the slips can then be wholly severed from the
plant and placed in saucers of sand or small
pots to root. For soil, use one part sand,
TWO parts good loan, and two parts leaf mold.
The latter is two years old, well rotted, upon
which has been turned the first year washing
suds and other Stops. find this excellent
for plants, and do not use manure in the soil,
as this leaf mould is sufficiently rich without
1t. Sometimes start my slips in saucers of
sand, Keeping them very wet; sometimes in
the soil in which they are to grow, in small
pots. In teither case they root readily and
make fine plants. If rooted in sand they
must be removed as soon as roots are formed,
which can readily be ascertained, and placed
in two or three inch pots. Young plants of
the geraniums will soon blossom after their
pots are filled with roots. Last winter had
clusters of blossoms the largest I ever saw,
and kept my plants, those started in August
and September) in those three inch pots all
Necessary, shaking off an inch or more of
soil at the bottom, putting in fresh, being
careful TO disturb the roots as little as posi-
BILE. After the pots were well cleaned and
the plant replaced with fresh earth at the
bottom, 1t is well to scrape away little of the
old soil at the top and put on new, which
will soon cause them to start with fresh vigor
and reward you with many buds and bios

THE PRESS
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Potatoes for Food.

DR.. Holbrook, editor of the Herald Of
Health, writes the Dining Room Magazine !:
For my own part am not much believer
in potatoes, except for those whose labor is
largely muscular and in the open air. For
such they are valuable. The reason object
to potatoes is because they are composed
yery largely of starch, and starch is too diff
cult of digestion for those with only moder-
ate stomach power. In order to serve its
purpose in The system, it must be first con-
verted into sugar, and this is done first by
thorough chewing, and then by being mixed
with plenty OF pancreatic juice in the intes-
Lnes. NOT one person in ten th ousand
chews potato finely enough to convert its
starch into sugar, so much of it passes out
OF the body undigested, and the body suffers
for lack of nourishment. Dyspeptic,, ner-
vous people, and brain workers should not
eat potatoes except in great moderation, and
generally advise them not TO eat them at
all. They do not contain PHOSPHORUS and
mineral matter enough for the nerves. They
are apt to produce a condition of nervous
dependency which is very depressing.
know person who after eating heartily of
potatoes, once or twice, experiences ten
dency to commit suicide, which goes away at
once after RETAINING from their use for day
or two. have advised many invalids to let
potatoes alone, ana 10 great advantage. Add
ing butter to potatoes is a mistake. True it
makes them taste better, but the melting but
ter covers the starch grain with coat of oil
which prevents the juice of the mouth or in
testines from getting at it; and as for the gas
trio juice, it has no influence ON starch, and
cannot digest it. If eaten, they should be
eaten with a little pepper. but without but
ter. The best way to cook them is to boil or
bake, and serve hot and mealy. Those that
are tor sale in cities during winter, partly
chilled through, partly greened by light, and
more or less bruised are more or less poison

Farm Experiment. with Fertilizers.


The Neao England Former gives an inter-
esting account of farm experiments conduct
ed at birmingham, Mass, by Sturtevant
brothers, formerly of Winthrop, Me. Franz
ingham, and the towns thereabout, comprise
corn-growing section, the crop of corn hay
ing been greatly increased since the Sturte-
wants have devoted particular attention to it.
One twc-acre field of the Waushakum farm
is planted entirely with selected seed from
twin-eared stalks; every stalk in the field
which is barren, is topped just as the spindle
appears. to prevent such stalk from fertilizing
the prolific ones. The idea Is to improve the
breed, and that stand of $4,000 stalks per
acre, each producing ono ear eight inches
long, will give yield of two hundred bushels
to the acre, the quantity Waushakum farm is
aiming for. Another experiment is the
planting of a ten acre lot upon chemical fer
lizers only. Such lot has been 80 planted
two years in succession. This year it is
again fertilized according to the Stockbridge
formula, for sixty bushels shelled corn
per acre more than the natural product
OF the land, and is to be kept in corn, year
after year, for at least ten years, unless the
experiment is sooner proved failure. This
year and now the field ID in appearance all
that could be desired.
The six acre lot was MANFRED, one part
with barnyard manure, the remainder with
the Stockbridge fertilizer, 10 difference be-
tween the two portions being now recognize
able. The expense of cultivating the ten
acre and six-acre fields was at the rate of
$1.50 per day for manual, and seventy-five
cents per day for horse labor and inclu1ing
the application of the manures, exactly $4.86
per acre. Very few farmers will be likely to
bestow the careful cultivation which tn e
Sturtevants give their lands; few will raise
corn in New England for fifty cents per
bushels; but it may be well to raise it, never
theless. The comparative value of barnyard
manure and chemical fertilizers will not be
settled at once, but every farmer should make
his own experiments. Vermont, Mass
achusetts and New Hampshire are showing
that farming in New England can at least be
made much more interesting and profitable
than 1t has been in former years.

and with sharp pointed and narrow bladed
knife, make an incision at the back of the
roof of the mouth, which will devide the ver-

which hang the fowl up by the legs till the
bleeding ceases, and pick it while warm, if
you desire the feathers to be removed.
With little care the skin of the fowl does
not become as torn and ragged as in the old

the flesh presents a better and a more natur-

KILLING and Dressing PouIfry.

manner OF killing poultry as in dressing to

ton cannot be used in this branch of the
business. One mode of killing fowls INSTEAD
of wringing their necks, which we deprecate
is to cut their heads off with single blow Of
sharp axe, hang them up by the legs and
allow them TO bleed freely, and pluck their
feathers immediately-whle warm. The
French mode, which is highly commended,
we think far the best, as it causes instant
death without pain or Disagreement, and is

Saving Seed.

One of the most important questions that
should interest the farmer, is that of select
ing the most perfect seed for sowing and
planting. The question here will become
pertinent: why should not the farmer use
the same care in lgrowing and saving their
seed, and in experimenting as regards ex-
cellence in quality, as do the seedmen engag-
ed in growing vegetable and flower seed for
sale.
We know from actual experiment, not
only that any given variety of grain may be
brought to high standard of excellence, but,
this attained, care must be used in keeping
the standard good, else it will degenerate in
far less time than was required to bring it
up.
The means to be used to bring up grain or
other vegetables products of the farm, are
precisely those used by the breeders of ami
mails. That is: careful selection, and breed
ing to type. This, and attention in select
ing only thoroughly ripened seed, with good
cultivation, will in a few years increase the
yield on any farm from so to 100 per cent.
From our experience, we know that one of
the greatest disabilities in the termination OF
seed corn, is, the practice of many otherwise
good farmers, who select their seed from the
field as soon as the grains are glazed, trace it
up, and use this for seed. 1t is true, this
will tend to earlier ripening, but at the sure
expense of both quality and quantity. The
same is true of our cereal grains generally,
and of every. other product of the farm.
From this we see the necessity of exam
lining, not only into the perfect development
Of the seed, as regards quality, but also that
the seed be perfectly ripe.
Let us take case in point. A farmer.
well known for his care in the selection of his
seed, made it practice to set apart, each
year certain portion of his fields, for the
raising of seed. Upon these seed plats none
but the most select seed was used, and of a
gwen quality. The best cultivation was
given, without regard to cost, and the pro-
duct OF these seed plats, was; used for the
general crops, the top or extra grain being
carefully sorted each year, to be again sowI
for future seed. Thus he always had none
but the most matured seed for sowing. anc
always obtained an extra price from Others
for seed from his fields. But, his own Sc.
lected seed. for these seed plats could not be
bought at any price. ANY farmer may dc
this, aud if all would do SO, the careful cult
walton required in these cases would soon ed
ucate the individual to more careful cutiva
ton in his general crops intended tor market
