FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Dandy Potatoes: Cut medium size
potatoes in quarters and drop in boiling
lard and fry same as doughnnts. A
nice breakfast dish.-Erchan9e
1t costs no more to raise the best
breeds of poultry than the common
barnyard fowl. while the returns are
more than double. Get a setting of
eggs from some reliable breeder, and
convince yourself Of this fact.-N. Y.
Times.
A farmers wife tells the Country
Gentleman that she keeps an old tin
pan full of dry, fine earth, and every
time she goes into the garden she Sits "a
spoonful or more of this dust over the
cabbages, and the worms never modest
them. 1t is very simple and safe.
Go over the young tudded trees
you have set this year every two weeks.
You can do much of tho pruning with
your finger-nail. 1t will not do to per-
nit the fruit tree TO have its way until
full grown, and then 60 for it with the
az and wood saw.-Cincinnat Times.
For hominy fritters, take two tea
cups of it, and stir a small cup of sweet
milk and = little salt with it. and one
egg, four tablespoonfuls of flour. with
half teaspoonful of baking powder.
Have your frying-pan ready with the
fat hot in it; drop this batter in by spoon

Post.
To whiten linen that has turned
yellow, take pound of fine white soap,
cut it up into q gallon of milk, and
hang it ever the fire in a wash kettle.
When the soap has quite melted put
in the linen and boil for half an hour.
Now take it out, having already Il lather
of soap and warm water; wash the linen
in it. and then rinse it through two cold
waters with very little blue in the
last.-Boston Globe.
A free application of soft soap to a
fresh burn almost instantly removes the
fire from the flesh, according to a
peatedly himself. If the injury is very
severe, as soon rs the pain ceases apply
linseed oil and then dust over with fine
flour. When this last covering dries
hard repeat the Oil and flour, dressing
until a good coating is obtained. When
the latter dries allow it TO stand until it
cracks and falls on, as 1t Will do IN

Farmers Banks and Deposits.

Some one has wfttily said that the
Bank of Earth is the best bank for
farmers-one that never fails to honor
their drafts SO long as they have bal
ance of deposit to their credit. There is
measure of truth in this statement, and
the recent furry in Wall street gives
emphasis to tie security of the Bank
of Earth. Nevertheless this institution
is sometimes a little particular as to
the manner in which drafts are pre-
scented, and if not presented in
way to meet its approval,
will sometimes refuse to honor them.
even though the depositor may have a
liberal balance to his credit. 1t is
important, therefore, that he should
not only know how to keep q credit
balance, but also how to present his
drafts.
For example: Some Of your rich I'LL
nois soils, and some of the best soils
in our Miami Valley, contains enough
of the material used by n crop to
produce two hundred heavy crops of
wheat in succession without the appli-
cation of any kind of manure. But
every intelligent farmer knows that
were he to draw on his bank for ten
successive crops of wheat on any ordi-
nary soil, without using manure or
otherwise helping the soil, there would
soon be signs of suspension" and it
might be that even before the tenth
harvest was reached the bank some
year might put up its shutters and
hang cut a notice: mo further drafts
honored here until deposits have been
made"
There are, in fact, in this rich valley
of ours, many fields which No longer
pay the costs of cultivation. though
containing large stores of all the mate
rial needed for crop; and yet they
would be productive could they be
induced to give up q very moderate
share of the fertility they hold under
lock and key. This trouble has not
been experienced so generally in your
State as in ours, simply because it is not
as old. But sooner or later you will
hear the same cry about exhausted
Soils if the same careless methods
Of farming are followed as have been in
this valley.
The couse of these "worn out" fields
is not merely, as is often supposed, that
the oultivators have taken too much
from the soil, in proportion to what they
have returned, but that by bad treat
ment of the soil they have compelled it
to lock up the fertility it contains. In
other words, the farmer has presented
his drafts in such a manner that the
lank has refused to honor them. Such
fields may often be restored, and made
As productive as before, but the pro-
cess is expensive, and during the latter
wears of cultivation, while field is
running down." it is often cropped at
. loss. 1t is far more profitable to so
treat field that such condition will
not be reached.-Oa;o Cor. Prairie

French Ideas Of Americans.

French journalists of late have .
great deal to say of Americans. and dis
play much ingenuity in inventing anec-
dotes in what they conceive to be Amer
lean style. The absurdity of some of
these creations of the Gallo fancy de-
fies description. We translate speci-
readers. The following ridiculous
stories are now going the rounds" OF
the French press:
I'm our country" said an American
to young English lord, who was
''doing America" as part OF his edu-
cation, lin our country there are none
of the preiudices of rank. You meet a
woman; she pleascs you; you pay court
to her and marry her in an hour!''
81 will bet you two thousand guineas
that you do not marry in an hour
any lady here present.
Done replied the Yankee.
He glanced rapidly around the draw
ing-room of one of the chief hotels in
New York; perceiving charming lady;
presented himself: paid her some COM
pliments; gave an order to a waiter,
who went out and returned with
grave gentleman carrying small
Bible; the group retired into a corner;
the grave gentleman scrawled certiti-
cate; the waiter signed it as a witness,
and the Yankee returned to the English
may, to whom he said:
1T is done, and has taken me only
fifty eight minutes"'
The young lord gave him a check.

half aloud
pooh: Not so very extraordinary
after ALL said another Yankee, who
had observed everything. They have
been married two years, and YOU are
upon whom they have played the same
trickr'
Here is another specimen: The mar
riage of son of President Arthur to
Miss Kate Beach is fully decided. The
ceremony will take place in two
months, and the young couple will pass
their honeymoon in Paris.
This" says the Paris paper, sis the
way in which, according to a New York
journal, the two lovers made each
others acquaintance
1.-The young man was musing at the
seashore, when he saw pass young
girl carrying basket of flowers, and,
as he is near-sighted to the last degree.
he took her for flower-girl, and called
to her in lordly tone:-
"'Approach fearlessly. my good girl!
Come and put a flower in my button
hole
Miss Beach burst out laughing. At
this silvery sound the Presidents son,
perceiving his error, fell upon his
knees and lost himself in excuses and
compliments. His address finished, he
rose and wiped his knees with his
sleeves to get the dust of. Miss Beach
meanwhile escaped without replying.
He pursued her, and overlook, while
running, friend of both, who intro
dnced them.
The united ages of the lovers make
but thirty-four years"
The French have long been noted for
their absurd delineatioEs of John Bull
and his ways. They are now expend-
ing the same peculiar talent upon
Brother Jonathan, and with the same
success.-Touths Companion.
