WHEN al orchard requires fcrtllizing, it
is bcs to do this all over the ground, and
not to apply manure only near the trees.
This produces large growth of roots close

more than manure, and these soon produce

BEEF TEA FOR CnILDREN-Thc best way
to make beef tea for children is rs follows:
Soup meat without bone, from the skin or
the neck. Cut the meat into dice with
very sharp knife to every pound of meat
use ono pint of cold water. Cut up tho
meat on dish, not on board, as the lat
ter absorbs the juices wastefully. Have the
proper measure Of water besides you, in
proper soup basin or bowl, and as you cut
up the meat sprinkle it up moderately with
salt, and throw it into the cold water,
There lot 1t remain for two hours; then
put it all into saucepan and set it on the
fire. Watch carefully the first rising, and
skim and secure this; it is the very cs-
sencc of the beef being thrown out. Put 1t
in clean bowl, and let the beef 90 on boil
ing for ten minutes, no longer; then pour
it through Il sieve TO the first slslmmings.
Stir it before using. In oil 'cr children than
infants you can flavor with onion and few
cloves 80 completely does this way of
making beef tea extracts the goodness, that
dog would not eat the meat that ls left.

A Lively RIM.

A frightened steer, pursued by a
crowd of men and boys armed with
sticks and stones, ran up Broadway
one day last week. When he
reached Twenty-ninth street he
turned toward Sixth avenue, ap-
propriating the sidewalk on the
south side of the street. Pedes-
TRANS darted into areaways or ran
TO the opposite sidewalk. The null
tlplying crowd hooted and pelted
the steer, which turned down
Sixth avenue, taking zigzsg
course, first on one and then on the
side of the street. He ran through
Twenty seventh street towBri the
North River, and when he
reached Eighth avenue he was
perfectly wild. He crossed and re-.
crossed the avenue, driving men,
women and children to take refuge
In dwelling-houses and stores. The
sidewalk was crowded near Me-
Grath's dry-goods store, between
Twenty-third and Twenty.fsurth
streets, and the steer charged in
that direction. Nearly 200 people
disappeared through the doors of
the store, followed by the painting
steer, which ran his horns through
two panes Of glass, knock
ed over several rolls Of mus
lin and then stood, in a dszed,
statuesque. attitude, in the middle
of the floor. The screaming of the
women who had sought refuge
under and behind counters, on the
stairs, and in all adjoining room
seemed to amaze the animal. For
fully five minutes the steer stood
in the middle of the
store. In the meantime a crowd of
five hundred persons had assemb led
at the door, and the situation re-
manned unchanged until police
