lazy farmer. The grand trouble
with industrious people, no matter
what their occupation. is that they
always have too much to do. In.

agricultural papers only as they
may lay before them the work which

livers, which can always be obtained
in the market houses for few cents
apiece, are valuable to feed poultry
for two reasons. They are devoid
of bones and they closely resemble
insect diet. We advise the cook

Charcoal for Fowls.

The following experiment given
in the american CultiUator.- will
bring fresh to mind what many know
as to the value of charcoal, not only
when fatteaing turkeys but other
fowls. 1t will also be found q good
corrective when used occasionally in
winter when the fowls are confined
TO their quarters. The experiment
was as follows: Four turkeys were
confined in a pen and fed Oh meal,
boiled potatoes and oats. Four
others, of the same brood, were also
at the same time confined in another
pen, and fed daily on the same ar
ticles, but with pint of very finely
pulverized charcoal mixed with their
food, mixed meal and boiled pota
toes. They had also plentiful
supply of broken charcoal in their
pen. The eight were killed on the
same day, and there was a differ
ence Of ponnd and a half each in
favor of the fowls which had been
supplied with charcoal, they being
much the latest, and the meat
greatly superior in point of tender
ness and flavor.

To Cure Beef.

Fer one hundred and fifty pounds
OF meat well packed in a cask. with.
out salt, allow from one to two pals
full of water, as is needed. with com.
mon salt added to make a brine
strong enough TO bear up a good size
potato. Boil the brine and add two
ounces of saltpetre and one pint of
molasses pour over the beef while
scalding hot, covering with cloth
until cold. This will keep until
March. when if any remain. take out
and rinse in cold water; boil and
skim the brine, adding salt suffi-
cient to bear the potato test again
and pour cold water over the meat.
The meat may be taken from the
brine and cooked the same as fresh
beef. II cured during cold weather, it
retains its juice and flavor better
than by any other method.

Farming Most Reliable.

During the hard times while every
body else is falling and bankrupting
we hear of comparatively few far
mers going by the board. II they
have TO work hard and economic,
they still live at home and have
plenty to eat, if the world does call
it homeIy fare. These things ought
TO console the farmers and induce
them to raise on the farm first,
everything they need, and then
their surplus will bring money to
buy what they cannot make at home.
The Observer very sensibly remarks
that financially the farmer is the
safest man in the country. OF
eleven hundred and twelve bank
rupts. only fourteen were farmers,
yet the farming community numbers
fully half the population The peo-
pie must live, and while the use of
luxuries may be diminished by hard
times. there will be a call for the
produce of the farm. Farming has.

Scalding Meal.

VIM. E. F. H., Amherst, Va, in
quires as to the manner OF scalding
feed for poultry. the right consis.
tency, and whether it should be fed
hot or cold"
REPLY.-Ii our friend keeps q
small number of fowls, he may put
his meal and brand into a small tub.
filling it half full then boiling water
may be poured in and the mass
stirred till all is wet. Cover the
tub closely, and as soon as the feed
is cold enough to be handled, it may
be fed to the fowls. In the process
of scalding, the feed will swell, and
on cooling, will be quite stiff. The
advantage of scalding is, that the
feed is rendered more nutritious,
the fowls digest it easily and quickly,
getting more eggs or weight from
it. This feed should be given in the
morning. The last feeding, at
evening. should be whole grain. To
prepare feed for a large number of
fowls. the best method is to use
steam. There is an advantage in
having poultry-food cooked, and it
may be warm when fed, but that ia
not essential.-POultTy World.

A Great Farmer's Maxims.

The success and life of Mr.. Jacob
Strawn, the prince of American far
mers, is attributed to the close OBJ
servation of the following mixims,
originated by himself:
Make your fences high and strong,
SO that they will keep your cattle
and pigs out. If you have brush
make your lots secure, and keep the
hogs from the corn.
Be sure to get your hands to bed
by Z O'clock-they will rise early
from force of circumstance.

all you promise him il he is good

encourage him to do still better.

Study your own interest closely
and do not spend your time in cleo

AnnIes in Sand.

A writer in the London Garden
says that he finds fruit to keep. best
in perfectly dry sand. He keeps
fruit this way alIthe year round.
He has had French crabs two years
old. The catiliac pear has remain
ed sound twelve months. The fruit
must be sound when stored. and the
sand must be quite dry. The chief
advantages of packing in sand are,
the exclusion OF air currents, the
preservation from changes Of tenn
perature and the absorption OF mois
ture, which favors decay. Muct
will depend on the apartment il
which the experiment is tried, a dry
or cool one being best.
