A Screen For The Back Door.

From the American Agriculturist.
1t is often desirable to shut off view of
the back door and its surroundings by q
screen, 80 that the inmates may pass to the
dairy house, wood shed, and other out
buildings unnoticed by pessers along the
highway, and others. A screen Of lattice
work answers very we'll, and one made of
thin Stats crossing one another, and so
painted as MOTTO be conspicuous, will pre-
sent neat appearance and be serviceable.
But such screen of it's self attracts atten-
ton, and is too artificial for country home.
A screen may be made of evergreens, set
in straight line to form q hedge. Or,
where the land can be afforded, they may
be set in two lines to fonm o broad belt,
the trees in one row being opposite the in
the best of living screens, end take up
considerable space. Still the Norway
spruce, the tree on the whole best suited to
the purpose, will soon become large enough,
and some temporary screen may be used in
the meanwhile. If these trees are set in a
single line, they may be 10 feet apart. A
screen that is both serviceable and agreeable
to the eve, may be used by setting posts as
high as desired, along the line of the screen
and connect the top of these posts by cap
board. Below this cap stretch number
of wires, and the frame work of the screen
is complete Plant along the screen every
6 or feet, quick growing grape vines. The
Clinton or Taylor are the most useful fol
foliage, though the Concord will grow fas
enough, and give and abundance of fruit
BESIDES Until the grape vines are large
enough, ANIMALS, such as morning glories
may be sown, or some roots of the Madeira
vine planted. In three years, at the most
the grapevine screen will be complete
The vines should be trained with view t.
cover the screen with foliage.

SteXed CucumherS.

We mostly eat our cucumbers just SO nat
ural, with slice of onion and oil and vine
gar, but we amt got no idea what good
vegetable it is cooked. Its just amazing
the way them Russians cook EN-, for, bless
me! if cucumbers and cabbage amt the on
ly vegetable them people have. Cut you,
cucumbers fully half an inch thick right
through, they must not be too much run to
seed for my taste. though in Odessa have
eaten them stewed when they were yaller.
Put them in saucepan, just cover them
with hot water, and let them boil slowly fol-
quarter of an hour, or until tender, blu
not so as to break them; then drain them
you want now pint of good cream, with a
teaspoonful of good butter, in a sauce pan,
and when it is warm pop in the cucumbers;
season with little salt and white pepper,
cook five minutes, shaking the saucepan
all the time, and serve hot. It is as delicate as
asparagus, and to my thinking the best way
of eating ucumbers.-BOb, the SeaC ooh
