CHICKENS AND EGGS.

The poultry business, although there ia
but here and there any one who makes it a
speciality. is really of immense extent. The
quantity of eggs and fowls consumed In our
large cities ann cunts annually to millions OF
dollar> in value. Look over the markets OF
our large cities, and the wonder is where
such quantities of eggs and fowls come from
and what will be- done with them all. Watch
the market few hours, during the busy
part OF the day, and you are still more >nr-
.prised, and will wonder where a still larger
supply can be found. What would our rural
and country homes be without chickens and
eggs? Watch with what interest the good
farmers wife and children look tor the sit
ting hen to come off with her brood of
chickens; what interest is felt in the wei
fare of the flock, and how they are petted
and cared for to prevent the hawk or cat
from destroying them! The labor and care
given are very great in the aggregate, and
If net done by those members Of the family
much of it would not be done at all, as the
men are generally employed al other and
harder work on the farm. Much of she
poultry raised on the farm is clear accnm-
ulation of wealth by the farmers wives and
children. Many farmers say that raising
chickens is all luck, but it is management
interest and caring for them and doing the
right thing at the right time.
Where the hens have good run. as is
generally the case on the farm, they cost
little to keep during the summer, and sup
ply many good morsel. hence it is often
taken as matter course; but let the eggs
and chickens used for one year in country
home be accounted for strictly, and one is
astonished at the quantity. Very often the
farmers farmily is dependent upon his pork
or beet barrel tor meat and the farmers
wife is troubled how 10 cook the meat so
that there may be a variety. Here is where
eggs and chickens come in TO supply dishes
good enough tor any laboring man. and
they may be quickly prepared tor the tabl",
even when the housekeeper is quite busy or
tired. A few slices of salt pork or bacon
are cut and put over the fire in the spider or
frying pan, and in few moments are cook
ed. Then the meat 10 removed and few
eggs are broken into the fat, while hot, and
soft cooked the meat is cut into hali-inch
squares, the eggs laid over, and the whole
poached together in suitable dish. This
looks as appetizing as 1t really is to the | :
borer. El uE
Another way is to stew the chicken with
a generous piece of salt pork both the
chicken and the pork being improved to the
taste. Other modes of preparing dishes
from these materials will suggest themselves
to every housewife. Then W at would
country and farm life be without the aid

matoes, not ripe enough to be soft, nor

the stem. Wash and wipe OF drain thor
onghly dry. Insert few cloves through
the tender skin then lay in stone jar and
cover with vinegar. The smaller tomatoes
are best, as the largest are apt to become
broken three cloves should be used for a
tomato the size OF an egg. Most excellent
pickles are made of the yellow plum toma-
to and the small red cherry; push Glove
into each at the stem end and merely cover
with vinegar. Pretty effects are produced
by arranging the two colors together on
glass dish as an accompaniment of baked
beans, nothing better could be found. If
the vinegar Is of good cider and not too
strong, they will not mould or grow SOFT
Ss0eet Tomato Picktes.-Cover green toma-
toes with boiling water, allowing large
spoonful of salt tor each quart of water.
When the water becomes cold remove and
drain the tomatoes; slice one-fourth of an
inch thick and lay in jar until about two
inches deep. Over this sprinkle brown SUI
gar half an inch deep, and few whole
cloves and bits Of stick cinnamon. Repeat
in alternate layers until the jar is full then
cover with vinegar, lay on them cabbage
leaf or few grape leaves, and weight down
with an old plate.
Easier Method..-Many who do not relish
sweet pickles, put them up in the same
manner as the above, leaving out the sugar;
or, II preferred, lay whole green tomatoes
in a jar, scald the spices in quart OF vine-
gar, turn this with the spices over the to-
matoes, and cover with cold vinegar. II the
housewife lacks time or inclination to put
up green tomato pickles in the autumn,
they can be laid in strong brine with the
cucumbers, and in the winter make nice
pickles by merely ''freshening'' and cover
ing with vinegar. Or they may be made
into sweet pickles by adding sugar and the
necessary spices.
Tomato Preservss.--Excellent preserves
are made of the small yellow tomato. Wash
aud weigh the fruit, and lay In the stew
kettle; then with pestle break each to-
mato, to release the juices. To each four
white sugar and one lemon sliced very thin.
Slew slowly until thick then pour into
bowls or wide-mouthed bottles, and cover

grown and must br Senr to market at once
vi course there are times when potatoes
rule low. This is apt 10 he the case with
early ones, grown especially for early bur
pose, and which follows the same law that
rules IN transe.t vegetables. So also those
who gro potatoes and have no conveniences
for storing them. These have TO be market
ed in the fall, and have to take whatever
price may rule tor them. Those who have
good cellars under their barns, or in any
place safe from frost and yet cool and dry,
can generally make potatoes growing pay
very well and those are usually the ones
who do.
LII old times large quantity of potatoes
were stored out OF doors in The open ground.
lhey were arranged in long ridges, not in
great bulk. as even mass OF potatoes will
heat. and covered with earth sufficiently
thick to keep out the frost. But since the
appearance of the potato disease. this plan
is not much followed, though the rottiag
has OF late been very much diminished The
infected tubrrs will often rot. especially if
the mass heats little. and the diseased
ones will often communicate the disease to
the rest. In cellar this can BE- seen and
noted. but in mound out OF doors no one
kn"ws Of The trouble till spring. when great
loss has been found. Besides this. it is so
difficult 10 get at them in winter that those
who have no way to preserve potatoes ex-
cept this, as general thing, prefer not to
grow at all rather than to be bothered with
this.
Dampness undoubtedly favorA the spread
OF the potato disease, and therefore where
there is any chance at all 'of the disease ex-
isting in the roots. they ought to be stored
as dry rs possible. Those which are to be
kept in this general way. should be dry and
cool. but this should b., especially seen to
in the case OF seed potatoes. Since the po-
tato beetle came among us it is clear that
we have had the very best results from
early planting and by the use of the earliest
varieties. Now, these early kinds are more
easily affected Dy warmth than the late
ones. They sprout easily, and GOODNESS is
therefore the mere essential for them. Some
people think it makes little difference
whether seed-potatoes sprout or not before
planting. We have known people to tear
off sprouts several inches long. and cut up
the tubers in full faith that they will sprout
out again and be none the worse for it.
They do generally grow; but there is little
doubt that they are constlutionally weaker,
aud much more liable to disease than those
which do not sprout till ready to go in the

STORING AND KEEPING POTATOES.

OF late years the potato has been one OF
the most profitable farm crops ia the East,
and this chiefly arises from the fact that it
is somewhat difficult to keep any great guam
tity of them. Thus only so many are grown
as can be preserved. and as the accommo-
dations are limited there is no glut in the
market as there are with things which are

a harmless remedy. while nothing more can
be desired as to efficacy. Twice a week
sprinkle little on the bottom of each nest;
also in every crack and on the top, bottom
and sides Of all the perches. A touch on
the head OF yo ng chicks, and little under
the wings of hens, etc., is the proper way Of
using.-Corr. Country Gentleman.

FARMING in Montana is very different from
farming in the states, and he who a,.eMpts
to apply States culture to Montana soil will
be left. Montana requires a system OF Gull
ture peculiar to itself, and none are more
thoroughly aware OF this fact than our ex-
perienced practical farmers.

Farmers VINO nave tried them generally
agree that rhey grow with less Irrigation
than the common vari ties. One farmer OF
our acquaintance in tile Judith country de-
clares that they grow better without any
irrigation al all This is probably on ac-
count of his soil being damp, as the judith

GRAND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MoDJEsKA AS
oDETTE.
Mime Modjeska appeared 10 another fine audi
ence at the Grand, last night in Sardou's
"Odette," an ell otional play of great strength,
which was given an excellent performance. The
part assumed by Mime Modjeska was in striking
contrast to that of the evening before, and y IS
well calculated to display her versatility, and
she presented it with intensity and artis.! g
finish which no other actress, with the possible
exception of Bernhardt, could equal. The scene
with her husband, who had discarded her, and
after many years came to her a suppliant for
their child's happiness, was magnifcently done,
but better, perhaps, than no others, except
as its requirements were greater. Mr..
Barrymore, Mr.. Clements, Miss Melton and
Miss Ellison displayed notable excel enee in
the cast, Miss Melton, in the last act, being es-
pecially tender and graceful. This afternoon
will conclude tonight with Twelfth Night"

"1he Romany Rye" which is the attraction at

are required to transport the scenery, and the
realistic effects are most striking. The sale of
seats begins at the box office to-day, and the en-
gagement promises to be a very profitable one,
as it deserves.
The audience at the Grand last night evidently
did not know that the play when
"Odette" left the home she once honored, after
the pathetic meeting with her husband and
child. At least they remained in their seats for
some minutes after the curtain down, and
some of them doubtless would be there yet had
not the gas been turned Off Perhaps they
wanted to wait for the matinee.
