THE FARM AND HOusElfOhH


"If you have a very rusty plow,'
says a writer in the Cincinnati Times,
"pour about eight ounces of sulphuric
acid, as purchased at the apothecary's,
into a quart of water do this slowly
and very carefully, for it Will burn
hands, clothing or almost anything
else also use an earthen or crockery
vessel rather than a tin or iron one.
apply this to the rusty surface two or
three times, making each application
as soon as the former one is dry. Then
wash with clear water, and repeat the
process. Give some of the worst spots
a rub with a bit of Bristol brick; wash
again with watet and wipe dry. Put
a little kerosene around the bolts, and
take the pillow to pieces, securing each
piece to get off the remaining rust
spots if necessary. This sounds like a
formidable process, but the whole OPP
eration ought not to take over an hour.
Oil all the exposed surfaces with kerc-
e when you set the plow away, and
when you do your spring blowing II
very few turns will finish off the bal
ance of the rust"

the other case would 60 directly into
the drain and be lost. The drain first
carries off the very cold water of the
subsoil, and the warmer surplus moist
ure from above takes its place, warns
the land, and hence offers a larger area
for the roots of the crops to amplify,
and thus gather Up greater stotes OF
plant food.
4. B. Terry, of Hudson, writes to an
Eastern journal that he feeds his
work-team on hay alone, and yet they
are very leshy, and show a constant
gain, and that for thirteen years he
never had a sick or "dead" horse, and
that "his team will kick UP theft
heels, and shine lis though oiled" His
plan Is to cut clover and timothy,
sown together June Is, and well cure
it. The feed is what they will eat in
ninety minutes, three times per day,
and at 50 per ton it costs him about
twenty-four cents per day to keep his
tam, or about sixty pounds being
their daily ration.
An exchange says that the differ
ence between the yield of eggs In the
most prolific cases, as compared will
poor layers, is as three or four to one.
In favorable instances individual hens
have been known to produce $50 eggs
per year. Yet 200 is reached so seldom
asto be called a remarkable yield. The
greatest average yield that We have
ever had ourselves. in a flock of twelve
hens, was 147 eggs per apnum, while
the greatest average in twelve tlocks,
numbering in all POO layers of various
breeds, was l62 eggs. In the latter
cages there were eight different breeds,
and some were old hens and others
were pullets, and many of the number

Holding On"

Three or four years ago a farmer

raised about forty bushels of corn tC

ruling prices, determine to hold on,
lie nailed up his clrn-crib and sat
down with a determination to let the
country 60 to ruin unless buyers came
to his figures. TO his great chagrin
and disappointment everything went
on as usual for several months, when
one day a man from Chicago came
along.

farmer.
"Twenty-eight cents" was the
reply.

"Yes, but you see the corner brokea

were let loose on the market"

REGIMES.

PICKLED PEACHEs.-Nine pounds
of peaches, three pounds of sugar and
three quarts of good cider vinegar.
Peel the peaches and stick two cloves
in each peach, then put them with the
sugar and vinegar in a porcelain lined
kettle. Cook from tiveto ten minutes.
SLICED CUCUMBER PICKLFs'-Slice
cucumbers and a few onions. Sprinkle
with salt; let them remain several
hours; then scald in vinegar. After
that take dry mustard and rub
through them thoroughly. Spice to
taste, and add a little sugar, then cover
with cold vinegar.
GREEN PEAS STEwED.-Shell peck
of green peas; put into a saucepan
four tablespoonfuls of butter, a large
sprig of green mint, one green onion, a
level teaspoonful of salt, half a salt
spoonful of pepper and the peas, and
stew gently only until the peas are
tender; keepthe saucepan covered, and
occasionally shake it to prevent burn
ing; add no water; as soon as the peas
are tender remove the mint and onion,
and serve the pears very hot;
PUREE OF CELERY.-Wash some
larse-sized celery sticks, cook them
until quite tender in boiling salt and
water. When done take out, drain off
all moisture, and pass through a hair
sieve into q basin for use. Melt one
ounce of butter in a stewpan, add the
celery PURGE, salt to taste, a table
spoonful of flour, and two of thick
double cream; a piece Of sugar
the size Of a nut, and a little stock
should be necessary. Simmer the
whole gently until thoroughly heated
through and thickened. Serve gar
nished with sippets fried in butter, or,
if preferred, on slices of cold beef or
mutton plainly grilled. The perfec-
ton of a well.concocted PURGE lies in
its extreme softness on the palate. To
insure this it is often wiser to add
some finely sifted breadcrumbs to the
already cooked vegetable before it Is
passed through the sieve, and work it
through together, which does duty for.
and proves a more efficient agent than
the flour for all t%hickening purposes.
Cream should always be used; there
is nothing for its substitute. Sugar
should likewise never, on any account,
be omitted from a puree, either in a
lesser or greater degree, according to
the taste of the consumer, for it helps
in no small measure to soften it.

Before the sparrow realized what was

Mnnlln't b. Snuhhed.

A good story is told of a French
artist. Ne~reschajin, and the car of all
the Ruosias, which shows that the
painter is not wanting in self-respect,
even if a monarch does ~patronize him:
Some time ago Nereschajin received
from the car, Alexander ILL.,, an order
for a picture. lie at one set to work
and in due time forwarded to the en-
perez one Of his finest canvases, in
which he had managed to paint moth
ing that could be construed as tlattery.
He called his picture "Our Prisoners. "
1t showed a troop of Turkish pris-
onerS of war, who were falling to the
ground under the brutal blows of
their escort, some robust Russian sol
diers.
The car was little pleased. He had
expected lattery and received-the
naked truth. He nevertheless ex-
pressed the wish of making the
acquaintance of the painter. The day
for the audience was liked, and Veres-
chain left Paris for st. Petersburg.
When he appeared in the palace he
was told that the ear had no time to
see him, and that he must wait until
he was called.
As soon as he received this answer
Vereschajin returned to Paris. "A
the following day a chamberlain of the
emperor called at the hotel where
Vereschaiin had been staying while in
st. Petersburg, and asked for the artist.
"He has left here he was tod.

tier, "he is gone, and the car is wait.

An Island Covered With Eggs,

A recent issue of the Santa Barbara
(Cal.) Press says; Last Tuesday after
noon Captain A. LARGO, the well-known
fisherman, returned to port after a five
days cruise among the islands off the
coast. His voyage wa something out
of the ordinary way, and his route was
one seldom taken by him, or, in fact,
any other coaster. The most interest
ing portion of Captain Larco's story
was his description of an island COW
cred with eggs. He says that a short
distance from San Miguel is and,
standing out lone and solitary in the
Pacific ocean, there is a rock with a
surface of about three acres. The
sides are precipitous and almost mac
cessible except during calm weather.
While becalmed near the rock he Wis
tied it, and was amazed at the scene
presented to his vision. The island is
covered with a layer of guano, in which
seafowls of all description were found
laying or incubating their eggs. The
surface appeared to be almost entirely
covered with eggs, principally those of
the sea gulls, shaggs, and a small bird
known as the salt water duck. He
said it was difficult 10 walk without
treading upon the eggs. He brought
away several bushels of these eggs.
The shagg's eggs r of a light blue
color and somewat smaller than a do
nestle hens eggs. The gull eggs are
Somewhat larger in size, light brown,
spotted with black dots.
LARGO says he could easily load a ship
with those eggs from this island, but
as there is no market for them here
they are not worth gathering.
