We do not know of any parties who
are Keeping poultry on scientific princi-
pies with financial success except the
tanclers, who get large prices for. both
eggs and fowls. Raising poultry and
eggs for the general market is done most
prohtably on farms and on small
scale; all the extensive enterprises of
the kind have failed.-N. Y. Times.
A. j. Downing, who was perhaps
the best horticulturist America has
mown, said: ssIf 1 were to preach a
sermon ON horticulture, should take as
my text, Stir the Soil.'" FREQUENT
and deep stirring will enable one to
grow fine vegetables on comparatively
poor and slightly manured soil; while
without it one fails to gain the proper
advantage, even from the richest and
finest soil.

lungs. An extract can be made by
boiling down the juice of onions, and

Chicken croquettes may be made of
bits of cold chicken chopped fine. Take
sufficient quantity of milk to moisten
the chicken; in this stir little flour
/, till it is free from Jumps; stir the chick
en- in this. Then dip your hands in
-four, and make balls of the chicken,
dip them in beaten egg and then in fine
cracker or bread crumbs and fry till
brown in hot lard or lard and butter
mixed. Cold turkey may also be used
to advantage in this way.-N. 7. Post.
There is remedy for every trouble

their skin and pull the wool because the
skin itches, and the wool comes off
easily because there is Inflammation.
The skin is red and hot in these places.
The cause is disordered blood produced
by dry food, and it is always worse
when there is good deal of smut on
the straw or fodder or dust on the hay,
which is generally the case after dry
summer. The remedy is to give tea
spoonful of cream of tartar and the
same of sulphur in molasses put ON the
back of the tongue with piece of wood
or spoon once day for ten days.-N.

The thrifty housewife whose lauda-
bile ambition it providing it is also a
necessity-to make q little 90 a great
way, and to seek out little economies of
all kinds, may here find still another
way. She can make her lemon extract.
This will certainly stop constant and
not small leak from her purse. 1t is
necessary to buy some pure, good alco-
hol, and in this put the yellow part of
lemon peel. Chip it off with snarp
knife, taking care not to put in any of
the tough white skin. In delicacy of
flavoring this equals and is even thought
to excel the expensive "boughten''
extracts Whenever lemon is used
for any cooking purpose a good share
of the peel can be put aside for this
purpose.
