Among the reports which come from
Washington is one to the effect that the Nor
mons intend to maintain powerful lobby

Sir Samuel Baker, In communication to
an English journal relative to the outbreak
in Soudan, takes no stock in the "Jingo''
notion that it is the result of Mussnlman
uprising or that it is destined to develop into
anything of that kind. He attributes it
solely to the slaVetraders whose business
was broken up by the Khedive and who
have been FESTIVE ever since. He is of the
opinion that any panic over the condition
of affairs is entirely unreasonable, and be-
lieves the Soudan can be restored by de-
termined policy without much fighting. An
alliance between England and Abyssnia and
the prompt despatch of English troops to
some of the threatened positions would
quickly dispose of Ell Mahdi and his forces.
Gerald Massey, the English poet, has sued
the New York Times for libel, laying dam
ages at $5000 The suit is founded upon
humorous editorial which appeared in the
Times on lecture which Mr.. Massey re-
Gently wrote entitled oman in search of his
soul for fifty thousand years and how be
found it," The editorial suggested that
Mr.. Massey should investigate this great
question, and intimated that Colney Hutch
would furnish him the quiet necessary for
the purpose. Colney Hutch is a noted in.
sane asylum in England, and Mr.. Massey
claims that the allusiou conveyed the i'm
preston that he was insane and ought to
be shut up in an asylum. While Mr.. Mas
sey's suit nay demonstrate that he is not
mad man; the bringing of it shows beyond
doubt that he is very foolish one.

HAY HARVEST.

Harvesting hay requires keen Judgment
on the part OF the farmer, not that the pro-
cess is a difficult one. but that the art of
properly curing hay is not fully understood
by all. 1t is necessary TO use the air a. well
AS the sun to cure it to pertection. The
simple fact that grass is dried does not sig
nifty that il has beeu cured, tor the quality
OF the hay is increased or iessened according
to the method in use during moving. How
often do We notice the mower passed over
the field and the hay lett where it was
thrown toi two or three days at a time, be-
ing cooked" in order to avoid rain My
when the matter was compulsory, and the
degree OF careesslless on the part of hay
makers in harvesting is carried to all ex-
treme. To care hay as it should be is to
merely preserve the juices or nutritive prop
critics, and it is Important to dry it in the
shade if 1t could be done. bat as far merS can
not be expected to do that with their hay
crops, they should do thu next best thing,
which is to keep ii We'll shaken as much as
possible, and leave it in the field tor as short
a time RS will be sufficient to render it fit
for storage AS soon as it is finished place
it in he barn without delay, for rain is very
Injurious to hay, whether in cocks or spread
oet On the field. If it gets wet 1t may be
dried again, but only at a loss of quality. In
curing hay, therefore, DO it quickly, keep it
in motion with tedder, store it early, and
do not allow it to be fed without passing
through a cutter-Fu7Da and Gayden ~.

HOW TO KILL CABBAGE WORKS.

The ravages OF the caterpillars of the cab
bage butterfly caused a great deal OF trouble
last salnmer at the State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, Geneva. N. Y, partcu-
larly those of the second or August brood.
In order TO test the efficacy of various reput-
ed remedies for the cabbage worms, the d.
rector applied them to special collections for
worms, and noted the effects. One speci-
men confined for three hours in bottle
partly filled with black pepper crawled away
dscolorea by the powder, hut apparently
unharmed. The second, repeatedly ina.
mersed in solution of satpeter, and third
in one of boracic acid, exhibited little indi-
cations OF Inconvenience. Bisulphide OF
carbon produced instant death when applied
to the worm, though its tunes were not ef-
fecual. The fumes of benZine as we'll as the
liquid caused almost instant death, but
when applied to the cabbages small whitish
excresences appeared on the leaves. bot
water applied to the cabbage destroyed a
portion of the werms, causing also the
leaves to turn yellow. One ounce of salt
pe.ei anu t"o Pounas vi oohihioh saie us
solved in three gallons OF water formed an
application which was partly efficient. The
most satisfactory remedy tested, however,
consisted of mixture of one halt pound
each of lard and soap and kerosene oil in
three gallons of water. This was applied
August 26; an examination the followi. e
day showed many, if not all, the WORMS de-
stroyed. .... ..-......
The growing cabbage presents such a
mass of leaves in which the caterpilars may
be concealed that it is hardly possible to
reach all the worms at one application. Il
is of Importance, therefore, to repeat the
use of any remedy at frequent intervals

KEEPING EGGS.


There is always some risk in keeping eggs
long time, and those not absolutely fresh
will never sell we'll. When eggs stand long
in one position the yelk gets down against
the shell, and it there is any evaporation it
soon either adheres to the shell or becomes
little tainted. Eggs may be creased and
packed in oats in barrels headed up tight,
kept cool and dry, and rolled or inverted, or
both, every few days; thus they will keep,
and when wanted tor market must be rolled
in bran or meal to get the grease off, and
perhaps dipped in lime water give them a
fresh look. How long they may be kept
thus we do not know, but several months at
least. Eggs will keep in limewater, but it
is difficult to turn or roll the barrels, and so
the yelk gets against the shell, and besides
the she'll looks very chalky, and their sale is
hurt. The best way is, probably, to pack
the fresh eggs in barrel with meal or bran
setting them on end, using no grease, tor
the meal absorbs it and turns rancid. Head
up the barrel and invert once week, and
keep in a cool, dry place.

Cherry Bouace-Fill stone Jar with wild
cherries and cover them with whisky; let it
stand a month; then pour off the liquor;
sweeten every two quarts of the liquor with
pound OF lump sugar and half pint of
water boiled in a thick syrup. The cordial
can be used Immediately, but improves with
age.
Goosebe,ry Pudding-Take one quart of
gooseberries, pick off well the stems and
tops, and wash in colander. Chop very
fine quarter of pound OF suet, and mix it
with three-qnarters of pound ot flour, half
a satspoonful of salt, and a teaspoontul of
baking powder. Beat an egg thoroughly,
add enough water. to it to fill a teacup, and
wet up the suet and flour into a stiff paste.
Roll it out thin. and line pudding mould
with it. Put the gooseberries, well mixed
with sugar-at least halt a pound--and put
cover Of the pastry over it. Tie cloth
over the mould, place it in kettle of boil
ing water, and boil it two hours and half,
not letting the water boil over the top.
Serve with foaming sauce of sugar and
butter stirred together, and melted in cup
of boiling water. The gooseberries should
be stirred into the flour before it is wet with
the egg and water, and boiled in mixed
paste together in pudding cloth, first
dipped into boiling water, and then Toured
thickly.
Flummeyy-Ercet etlent-Scald one quart of
fresh milk in lin pail placed in kettle of
boiling water, and add to 1t the grated peel
of large lemon, three tablespoonfuls of
white sugar and four eggs beaten to stiff
troth. Stir very rapidly for five or six min
utes, SO that the eggs will thieken the milk,
but not curdle it. Then place the pail in
pan of ice cold water, and stir for few
minutes and strain into dish. Have two
ounces of gelatine soaking in pint of cold
water tor half an hour and then set it over
the fire to boil, and add one teacnpful of
white sugar and the juice of the lemon, and
boil until the gelatine is dissolved. Strain
it through jelly-strainer and set it uponi Ice
to cool, and then beat it with Dover egg
beater to froth. Add the custard-a little
at time-beating ii eontinually-and when
it is all beaten in, pour over it a glassful of
white wine and beat together rapidly. Fill
two moulds which have been wet with ice
water with the flummery, and place on ice
for use the following day. 1t can be served
with whipped cream sauce, or eaten with
preserved Strawberries or peaches.

ly IN summer time. There are parasites OF
all sizes and colors that are continually sap
ping out the very life from the fowls and
nakiAg them 50 weak that they are easy
victims TO all diseases. Your fowls drop off
one by one, and you wonder what is the
matter. Reader, If you have poultry
house, there are probably thousands Of yer
min swarming in it now. Some Of them
are so small and OF such color that it is hard
to see them. Shake one Of the fowls over
the sleeve OF your white shirt and look well
for the result. You need not expect the
chicks to grow fast, nor the older ones to
give good returns in eggs while there are
lice about.
Now, to kill these pests and to prevent
them, clean the house WE'LL take whitewash
to which may be added, il handy, little
carbolic acid-and apply thoroughly to the
roosts, nests, cracks, etc., and if you do the
work we'll you have got them. After this.

before the fowls 90 to roost. Three or tour
times year fumigate the house with burn
ing sulphur and rosin, while the fowls are
outside. Branches of cedar trees in the
house, or carbolc powder kept scattered on
the Aoor, or in the nests, or tobacco stems
and leaves used in the same way, are excel
lent preventative. Vermin do not like the
smell of cedar, and generally keep away
fr.m it. Oil is death to them, but do not
put too much oil on mother hen, for it
will kill the chicks that brood under her, as
well as kill the vermin. No ne can esti-
mate the damage they do Give the house
good dose of whitewash now, before you
forget it. and oil the poles weekly, and it
will pay you big.-Erchamge.

The Black Spanish fowls lay we'll at this
season when the weather is warm, and their
eggs are large and white. The carcasses,
however, are inferior for market, and the
chicks grow slowly. 1t was once popular

dered them far inferior to other breeds. The
Leghorns have pushed them aside, and the

Mr.. r. e. LEWIS, of Atco, Camden Co.,
N. j., reports that as many objections have
been made against the Leghorns as being
too small for market purposes, he has, by
experiments upon pure White Leghorns,
found that flock OF chicks of that breed
can be easily made to weigh, on an average,
one and halt pounds when they are nine
weeks old, and if the cocks are crossed on
large hens, the weight of the crossed chicks
will be much greater.

KEEP THE GARDEN CLEAN.

No garden will yield much more than one
half its real crop if it is what may be called

six inches, and never allowing weed more

All the avenues through the garden should
be perfectly hard, level and free from weeds.

NUcH hay was ruined last yeal by raking
and stacking after the reaper. Too much
sun, it is true, will ruin hay, but none at all
would be worse. If not sufficiently cured,
hay will pack together in the stack and be-
come mouldy, will be heavy and stock will
not relish it. Where the grass is thin the
morning cutting will do to rake in the after
noon, but some sun is absolutely necessary.
