Why Some Are Poor.

Cream is allowed to mould and spoil
Silver spoons are used to scrape ket-
ties.
The scrubbing-brush is left in the wa
ter.
Bones are burned that would make
soup.
Nice-handled knives are thrown into
hot water.
Brooms are never hung up, and soon
are spoiled
Dish-cloths are thrown where mice
can destroy them.
Tubs and barrels are left in the sun to
dry and IA apart.
Clothes are left on the line to whip to
pieces in the wind.
Pie-crust is left to sour, instead of
making a few tarts for tea.
Vegetables are thrown away that
would warm for breakfast.
Dried fruit is not taken care of in sea-
son, and becomes wormy.
Bits of meat are thrown out that
would make hashed meat or hash.
The cork is left out of the molasses
jug, and the flies take possession.
Pork spoils for the want of salt, and
beef because the brine wants scalding.
Coffee, tea, pepper and spices are left
to stand open and lose their strength.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and the
sprouts are not removed until they be-
come useless.
The bread is sifted in wasteful man
ner, and the bread-pan left with the
dough sticking to it.
Vinegar is drawn in tin basin, and
allowed to stand till both basin and vine
gar are spoiled.
Cold buildings are considered good
for nothing, when often they can be
steamed for next day.

Canning, Picking and Preserving
Fruits

PRESERVED PEACHES FOR SHELLS
Pare, halve and stone the fruit. Set on the
fire, with half pound of light brown
sugar to every pound Of prepared fruit, and
no water; stew very gently for nearly an
hour, or until perfectly clear, skimming
well. When cold tie down closely in stone
jars.
MINED MARMALADE.-Hal a peck of
pppin apples, quarter of peck of pears,
the same Of ounces, half a peck of peaches
two quarts of water and the juice and peel
ola large orange grated and added half an
hour before the marmaade IS done. Put
the parings and cores Of the ounces in the
water; boil short time closely covered :;
strain and add the water to the peeled
pears and ounces, all cut small boil these
for one hour, then add the other fruit pared,
and five pounds of sugar. Boil gently for
two hours, stirring often. Add the orange
and boil half an hour When cold put
down for use.
PEACH MANGoEs-Steep peaches in brine
for two days Cut a slit in each and care
fully remove the stone, and save the cut
ont pieces. Fill the space left by the stones
with fresh mustard seed moisteued with
vinegar, scraped horse-radish root, powder
ed ginger, Glove of garlic or a small onion,
and very little red pepper; also little
with this mixture; replace the cut-out bits
and tie each with strong thread. Boil a
quart Of best vinegar seasoned with spices
tied up in Il cloth. When it has boiled for
ten minutes, pour in hot over the mangOes
in a stone jar. Pour little salad all on top ;
cork the jar and tie piece of leather over
it.
PEACH LEATHER.-For pies is made by
stewing peaches as If for present use take
out the stone and mash into pulp. Spread
out this on a smooth, clean board exposed
to the sun. In a few days it will be dry
enough TO roll up and put away for winter.
SPICED PEACHEs-WHoLE- Fourteen
lbs. Of pared peaches, seven of sifted sugar.
Put the peaches only in a kettle with water
to cover them, and simmer till soft. Drain
them out of the water and pour it into some
other vessel. Into the kettle put the sugar
and quart of good cider vinegar, an ounce
of whole cloves, the same of stick cinnamon
and three blades of mace boil all together
twenty minutes. Put the well-drained
peaches into jars till two-thirds full, then
pour the. boiling syrup over them; let them
stand day or two; then boil the syrup
ten minutes; pour it again over the peaches,
and when cold seal up.
Another To seven pounds of fruit pared,
stoned and cut in three pieces, allow three
pounds of best brown sugar, a pint and a
half of good vinegar, one ounce of cloves and
q half as much mace if liked. Boil the
syrup and spices, skimming well lay in
the fruit and cook it slowly for two hours.
Yellow peaches are best for these pickles,
which are equally nice for pears, plums and
cherres-Aunt Carrie in American Farm
Journal.

PROGRESS.

SteadiIy, steadily, step by step,
Upthe venturous builders goi
Carefully placing stone on stone
Thus the loftiest temples grow.
Patiently. patiently, day by day,
The artist tolls at his ask Away;
Touching it here and untlng II there,
Giving il ever with Infinite care
line more soft or a hue more fair;
Till, little by little the picture grows,
And at last the cold dull canvas glows
With life and beauty and forms Of grace
That ever more in the world have place.
Thus with The pOet-hour after hour
lie listens to catch the fairy chimes
That ring in his soul, then with magic power,
lie wcaves their melody into his rhymes,
slowly carefully word by word,
Line by line. and thought by thought.
He fashions the golden tissue Of song
And thus the immortal anthems wrought.
Every wise observer knows
Every watchful gazer sees
Nothing grand or beautiful grows,
Save by gradual slow degrees;
Ye who toll with purpose high
And fondly the proud result await,
Murmur u a. the hours 90 by,
That the season IL long-the harvest Is late
Remember that brotherhood strong and true,
Builders and artists, and bards sublime,
Who lived in the past and worked like you,
Worked and waited q wearisome time
Dark and cherries and long their night,
Yet they patiently toiled at the task begun,
Till 10 thro the clouds broke that morning
light
Which shines on the soul when success Is
won.

Time to Prepare Cuttings.

In late fall, before the ground freezes, is
the best time TO take off cutting of all plants
that will take roots from them. Many sorts
will form cullus during the winter and
grow freely in spring, that will not root at
all under other circumstances. GooSeber-
ries, ounces, grapes, currants, many sorts
of roses and trees, such as the cottonwoods
and popIars and willows, in fact a very
lengthy list of plants viii grow freely from
cuttings, ia good, light soil, and cultivated
with skill. They should be taken off in
lengths of six to ten inches, and be tied up
in bundles, being all placed one way. Push
the ends from which roots are wanted into
the ground, in warm, dry soil, and cover
over completely with earth so that the heap
will be dry all winter In spring take them
out with as little exposure as possible, plant
i'm light, dry, rich soil from six to eight
inches deep, or within an inch of the top
keep the weeds down, and the ground loose,
and in favorable seasons large proportion
will live and Rake good plants.

Fruit Growers Maxims.

l. Where fruit trees are to be planted
pIow the land beforehand, harrow well, and
enrich with manure.
2. Plant either spring or fall. If in the
fall, after the leaves fall in the spring.
before they appear.
3. Select few varieties, and such as are
known to be large bearers in neighboring
orchards. An abundance of second-rate Is
better than a scanty yield of tirst-rate
fruit.
4. If there is a good nursery near by go
there-South rather than North.
D. Go yourself select healthy trees, take
none but those with an abundance OF Nitrous
roots Keep the roots from getting dry.
Take home and plant.
6. Trim the branches to correspond TO the
shortened roots set the trees the exact
depth they stood in the nursery row,
spreadin. out the roots evenly, and pressing
each tree.
7. Make diagram of the orchard and
file away carefully.
8. Keep the trees worked around for six
or eight years, keep out the borers, keep the
trees trimmed in good shape, fertilize every
year or two.
9. When the trees come into bearing get
the orchard in with grass, turn in the hogs
to eat the wormy fruit and root up the soil.
If a tree dies or gets sick, plant another.
SAVING CRAFTS.
Crafts are cut in autumn, after the fall OF
the leaf, or in winter, and can be preserved
in earth until wanted for use. Cions should
invariably be of firm, well ripened wood,
taken from the upper branches. A medium
sized shoot or cion, when sound and well
matured, serves the purpose to which 1t Is
put much better than larger one that Is
unripe and pithy. Barry advises, when
cions are designed for root-grafting early in
the spring in the house, to bury their lower
ends in earth in a cool, dry cellar; but if
wanted for outdoor grating, it is recon-
mended they be be buried in dry sand soil
in a pit on the north side of wall or fence,
and deeply covered with earth, drawn up in
mound to throw off the water. They are
thus kept perfectly dormant until used,
and not so dry as to shrivel the back.

Sheep in Winter.

Sheep need freedom of action and variety
of feed more thai any of our domestic ami
mails In winter they require shelter only
against heavy rains ana melting SHOWS, as
even a cold storm IL better than heated

sufficient. They should then be kept in

SORGHUM AGAIN.-It is believed by the
Agricultural Department at Washington
that the problem of making good merchant
able sugar oct of orghum cane is entirely
solved, and that thS practicability of the
undertaking has been demons rated beyond
question. DR.. Collyer, the chemist of the
department, Is an enthusiast on this subject.
He estimates that if one-tenth the acreage
planted to corn On Illinois were devoted to
sorghum, that State could raise sugar equal
to the entire importation into the United
States of sugars from abroad, amounting
annually 10 about 4IO9.Q0O. 600.

ASHES AS A FERTIIIZER.-We would say
that unleaGhed wood ashes, used either
alone with top dressing or in connection
with compost, form most valuable fer
tilizer for orchards young or old. They are
rich in potash, one of the elements most
needed by fruit trees, and are worth forty
cents bushel for this purpose. Ashes being
in a finely divided state, their valuable
elements are in a very favorable condition
for the action of the roots of plants, and for
orchards they have value fully equal to
ground bone. To any orchardist who wishes
to put his orchard in the best condition at
least expense, there is no question but ashes
are worth two or three times what soap
factories are accustomed to pay for them.

The Care of Farm Wagons,

In the aggregate what an immense
amount of money is annually lost by care
lessness and inattention in regard to the
'rolling stock" of the farm. There are
farm wagons and the cart for instance,
which look shabby enough, while the felloes
on both are commencing to rot badly. They
must go to the shop to be repaired, and then
there is bill of several dollars to be paid for
out of the earnings on the farm; perhaps just
at a time when cash is sorely needed to pay
current expenses, when crops have not yet
been harvested; while a couple of days lost,
with the wagon at the shop undergoing re-
pairs, may cause you to have a damaged
hay or grain crop.
By making it a regular duty to paint all
your wagons, carts and implements, each
fall, or every two years, according to the
service they are required to perform, you
will increase the years of their usefulness,
besides always having nice-lOoking "rolling
stock" and implements. One of the most
fruitful causes of decayed wagon felloes or
rims is keeping the wagons in a damp place,
with the wheels on the damp ground, for
two or three months during winter. If you
can not have a board or plank floor for
them, let the wheels stand on short boards,
which will answer the same purpose.
