And apropos of our Grand Isle eorre-
spondent DIR. HOskins notices some of his
work shown at the late fair there as fol-
lows:
In our recent trip to Grand Isle we
were delighted with some of the most
tasteful and beautifully-executed speci-
mems of fretsawing in various forms that
we ever had the satisfaction of examining.
Some readers will say "a young farmer
might be better employed than in making
fancy gimcracks with a jig saw" Such a
one we would have taken TO another part
of the same building and have shown him
most ingenious and efficient seed planter
made by the same hands. II looked rs if il
had come from first class machine shop.
but we were assured that the iron parts
were mostly picked out of scrap heaps and
put together in this neat machine by Mr..
Macomber. And to the criticism of fret
saving we would say that, rs work for
winter evenings by the fireside, nothing
we know of is better educator and trainer
of hand and eye than fret saving. Saying
nothing, then, of the direct product of such
an occupation (though such fine work a.
Mr.. Macomber's has high pecuniarN
value as an article of sale), the educationa
value of fret saving to the hand and the
eve will be of great advantage to any
one. Bungling" of every kind, st
common in every occupation, and espec
tally so on the farm, shows that farmers
: need such training. If your boy Cor you
girD wants a jig saw, get them one. W.
would rather spend money for them il
that way than for fiddle or a piano-no
: that we object to music, either, but per
haps rather because we like it.

ma'am: ketchup!'-You may say ''cat-
sum- if YOU want to, won't. While this
remains a free country and am mistress
in NV own house shall say " ketchup'
and leave that detestable catsup TO
those who like it.
To make good ketchup select peck OF
good ripe tomatoes, scald and peel. cut IN
pieces, remove all green portions. put IN a
porcelain lined kettle with very little
water, and boil until done; cool and then
rub through a coarse sieve. For this guam
,ity put in a half teacupful of salt half an
ounce each of cinnamon, cloves allspice,
mace and bruised mustard seed, and
half teaspoonfu each of black and cay
enne pepper. If you are particular about
the color put the spices in Il bag or tie IN
a cloth, but we are not particular, in fact
we like it dark, so we stir the spices IN,
put the ketchup back in the kettle and boz
until very thick, taking care not to scorch
When very thick put in pint of gooC
cider vinegar, boil thirty minutes longer
and set away to cool When quite cold
add gill of good brandy, mix well ant
put into bottles, putting a piece OF horse
radish roots in each bottle. Cork tlght
cut the corks off even with the tops Of the
bottles, and cover with sealing wax
Keep the bottles in IA cool, dark place
This is our way of making ketchup. ant
with that for ground work, the mex
perienced can make to suit themselves
Strictly temperate people can leave on
the brandy, and others who do not like m
way of seasoning can vary the quantit.
of spices to suit their taste, but in an.
case the tomatoes must be thorough
cooked. good vinegar used, the ketchul
boiled until it is so thick that it will bare
ly run from bottle, and the bottles seal

The "prince of gladlolus growers" Mr..
Kelway, Langport, England has 20 acres
devoted wholly to this plant, and nearly
1000 named varieties in his catalogue,
and he adds to the list some dozen or so
each year, selecting from nearly 200, 900
roots. Last season 100000 spikes were
sent to all parts of the country for decora-
tive tpoSes, and the corms range in price
from Sl.25 a hundred to Sl5 each. A
CORES pondent of The London Journal Of
horticulture gives report of cultural
processes, from which we take an extract
g Here is a piece of ground, for instance,
of several acres, where the corms have
been literally plowed in. The drills are
done by the pillow, the roots planted and
covered with the plough, much in the same
way as potatoes are in some cases; while
here is another smaller piece where each
CORN has been carefully planted, and the
ordinary garden method is adopted. He
does not find that the soil makes mnch
difference, and in this | am inclined to
agree. Moreover, the use or nonuse of
manure does not seem to affect them, In
the early days of gladious-growng manure
was considered injurious to them, and all
were advised never to use it; this is IN
utter fallacy. | saw some small corms OF
the choice varieties, which were sown on
an old hotbed, about three inches of soil
resting on the manure, yet here they were
as healthy as IN any other part of the
ground, while in other places heavy
coating of manure had been applied on
the surface without in the least affecting

An Iowa correspondent who sold $4,000
pounds of extracted honey the past sea.
son, and has been able, by always sup
plying pure article, to raise the price in
Keokuk to nearly a level with that of the
best comb, advises beekeepers to so act
that consumers may become acquainted
with the fact that the extracted is as good
as any in market. The principal advan-
tages of this plan he thus explains in the
Western Agricutturtst;
Comb honey can never be raised in as
large quantities as extracted, from the
fact that it takes all the comb away from
the bees, and forces them to build up theil
combs at time when they should be
busy in the flower fields. 1t takes not
only time, but also honey, for beekeepers
are aware that in the production of each
pound of wax about fifteen pounds OF
honey are used. Of course, comb-founda-
ton remedies this to IA certain extent but
it nevertheless leaves the bees with q
great deal of work, since foundation only
furnishes the base and material for cells
Extracting, on the other hand, allows the
beekeeper to return all the comb after
emptying it, so that the work of buldiug
comb is no longer required, and these
extracted combs can be used over and
over for years. Moreover, it is only the
white and choice comb-honey that can be
sold to advantage, for if any comb is dark
from the presence of pollen, or through
having contained brood, or if it is bruised
or injured in any way, it becomes of less
value than the honey that could be ex-
tracted out of it. The very darkest OF
ugliest comb will furnish just as nice ex-
tracted honey as the very best, and pollen
or other impurities will never be found in
extracted honey. There is still another
great disadvantage in comb honey, and
that is the difficulty of transporting it
without breaking"

WINDOW PLANrs.-In answer to in.
quires by +. A. X. of Woodstock. Vt.
Few Towering plants make such fine
show in window in winter rs the petunia
and few are more easily cultivated, but,
like many other towering plants. they
will not flower abundantly, if at all, if
they have expended their strength in flow
ers during the summer and fall. When
you pot them in the fall use those which
have not lossomed, or, if bossomed at
all, select those which lowered in early
summer, and you will have your windows
full of flowers during the winter. But
to secure profuse blooming of any plants
cndeavor to keep your room at as even II
temperature as possible, and see to it that
the atmosphere is not too dry, for want
of certain amount of moisture is as
necessary to healthy vegetation rs it is to
animal health. There is nothing which
has so cheering an aspect rs the exhibition
of flowers in dwelling, house window on
a cold winters morning, when the ground
is covered with snow. Every morning in
winter we pass a house where the window
is generally full of petunias in blossom,
and the sight of that window seems TO
have a warming rs well as cheering in
tluence, and generally puts us in very
good humor with our neighbor, and toll
erably good humor with ourself and with
everybody else.-American CutftUator.
