CusrARD PrEs.-To insure success in max.
ing custard pies, put the crust on the plates
snd set the plates in the even before putting
the custard in. When you have found the
place where you wish the pie to remain while
baking, pierce the crust with q silver fork in
two or three spots, but do not put the fork
through the dough to the plate, as the Gus,
tard will then run under the crust and spoil
it. After this is done, pour the Gus
tard in; pour il from a pitcher, so that
not q drop will be spilled on the ring of
crust around the edge of the plate. Now, IL
you wish this ring to brown nicely, rub il
over with little milk in which you have
dissolved little sugar, "A dessertspoonful OF
milk will be plenty, and half a teaspoonful
of sugar. If your oven is good one the pie
will not need to be turned, and this Is great
advantage, as the custard will not be dis
turbed when forming.

Farm Notes.
One of the best coatings for tree wounds is
gum shellac in alcohol. 1t effectually ex-
cludes air and the wound quickly heals over.
In order to raise roses in perfection it is
needful 10 feed them well and place them in
the full sunlight, and not where they will be
shaded by trees and shrubs.
There is no doubt that with good crops Of
fruit here our export OF evaporated apples
can be immensely increased. In no country
is fruit so scarce and so dear as in England.
One of the best farmers in Maine is Mis-
Sarah l.. Martin, of South Auburn. Thi!
lady carries on farm successfully, and pay'
much attention to the raising of fine stock.
A practical farmer recommends the grow
irg of two crops Of buckwheat in succession
81 x,,;ro g.,
They will not eat buckwhe and are starved
t. death.
An old sod will rot more quickly il ploweC
shallow, provided the work Is we'll done. II
the bottom of deep furrow, especially il
early spring, the sod is too cold to decom
pose rapidly.
Scot is one OF the best manures for hous
plants and il it can be had in quantitie
large enough it is excellent for out-of-doo
use. For the latter it is better mixed witt
one-tenth its bulk of salt.
A New York farmer declares that an acr
of Hubbard squash will fstten ten more hog
| than the corn that can be raised on the sam
| ground. He has gathered from six TO eigh
tons from an acre.
Nearly 200, 600 more hogs have been packe
in Chiosgo this season up 10 the present tim
/ than year ago. Kansas City is fast gainin
| on Chicago in the number of hogs packed
and already stands second.
Cabbage and other plants intended for tn
| garden should be transplanted once and thei
leaves s. ortened before being finally set out
| This axes them stslky. A second remoYs
does net injure them.
| TT Dent varieties of corn are less hard
| then the Flint varieties, and need to
| plaL ted on rich, warm soil. The grain of th
former is more porous and more liable to in
jury FRI m water at planting or when ripene6
Com for fodder may be sown, or rathe

There is more difference in men than il

Very bad accounts have been received @
the ascertained yield of wheat in some of tn
| northern areas Of South Australia. Wini

and Telowie, % bushels, while thousands Q
acres were not worth reaping.
