Household Hints.

In boiling meat, etc, or even clothes,
turn a plate bottom side up and put it
on the bottom of the kettle to prevent
its contents from burning.
To remove ink stains from cloth, dip
the stain in hot fat, lard or tallow and
when cold wash out in hot water and
it will usually remove the stain.
Satin tides and table scarfs may be
renovated by taking a-hot iron, placing
wet cloth over it and holding the
satin in the steam, the wrong side near
the heat.
If you are baking bread turn the
loaves top side down in the hot tins
and let them stand a few moments.
This will make the crust very tender
and they will cut easily.
Chandeliers and iron wall brackets
that have become rusty and worn may
be made to look equal to new by apply
ing a coat of bronze powder mixed
with copal yarnish.

Professor Roberts, of Cornell uni
versity, says in an article upon Extra
Culture:' Herein, 1 am satisfied.
lies the secret of England's success in
raising large crops. 1t would take
away the breath Of a prairie farmer to
hear even au Englishman's enumera-
tions of the "spuddings," the grub
bings," the twitchings," the harrow
ings, the cross-harrowings, the roll
ings, the crushings that a heavy clay
field is subjected to before it is con-
sidered fit for wheat. What is all that
for? Simply to unlock the full store
house of nature. That it is full has
been proved time and time again. BY
actual analysis it is found that an
average soil contains in the first six
inches plant food enough for from
fifty to one hundred and fifty full
crops of grain. l do not desire
to discourage the purchase and use
of fertilizers, but what | do pro-
test against is purchasing on time COM
mercial manures at $40 per ton to en-
rich cloddy fields already rich in plant
food, locked up, it is true, but there
none the less, only awaiting a little iu-
dicious application of brain and muscle
to set it free. If these hastily iotted
facts and impressions are the means
of inducing my fellow farmers to re-
move some of the useless trees and
fences, or to give the fields an addi-
tional cross narrowing or two before
carting in the seed and asking the Lord
to bless the labor of their hands, my
object will have been attained.

A Jayanese Orchestra.

The latest attraction at the London
aquarium is a Javanese orchestra COM
prising eighteen performers, who are
supposed to enjoy the distinction of
forming the first complete company of
the kind which mas left Java. -Four of
the performers are dancing women,
whose peculiar motions are directed by
themusicians squatted upon the plat
form. There is one two-stringed fiddle
and one instrument similar to flute,
but the rest of the pieces are instru-
ments of percussion upon which the
players beat with great vigor. The
scene is highly novel and picturesque,
but the music is rather trying to Euro
pean ears.

Farm and Garden Notes,

Stockmen should not forget that it
costs no more to keep good COWS, horses,
sheep, swine and poultry than poor
ones-often not so much-and the
profit from them is much greater. Bear
this in mind in purchasing.
Old meadows should have a sprink-

THF FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Watpr for Swine.

There are many farmers who think
1t unnecessary to give drink of water
to pig, but who consider the slop it
receives as ample for its needs, or that
when a pig is fattening dry food only
is needed and that wat er makes soft
pork. There are many more who are
hardly so ignorant as this yet act pre-
cisely as though they were and neglect
to provide any water for their stock
but what they can procure from pond
holes or sloughs. The consequence is
disease and death. Pure water is in
dispensable to the health of all kinds
of stock.
