Farm AND PRESIDE.

-Cotton-seed meal is excellent for
cows and sheep, but should never be
given to pigs and horses.-Troy Times.
"A wash of lime, soda or tobacco
tea will drive away scale bugs and
other parasites from trees; but the
healthier and more vigorous the tree
the less liable it is to such pets.-N. Y.
Sun.
1t is stated that the best thing to
drive away rats is the peppermint plant
They can not bear the smell of it, and
disappear. A few drops of the oil of
peppermint should be equally effica-
cious. Cleveland Leader.
An advantage from weeds consists
in the necessity that they impose for
better cultivation than would otherwise
be given. If it were not for the weeds
corn would be neglected until the crop
was past hope.-N Y Examiner.
1t is believed that the production of
canary-seed, so generally employed for
feeding pet birds, can be protitably car
ried on in this country. 1t was once
raised to considerable extent in this
State, but its cultivation was abandoned
on account of low prices. The price
has recently advanced, owing to the
partial failure of the crop in foreign
countries. Chicago Times.
Baked hash; Chop cold roast or
boiled beef. veal or ham very fine; sea-
son well with salt, pepper. butter and
any herbs that you like; add few
boiled potatoes cut in small pieces, and
enough hot water or meat gravy to
moisten it; mix thoroughly, put in a
pan, cover with a crust of good pastry;
bake half hour. Serve hot-N Y.
Post.
-Prune Jelly: Stew one pound of
prunes in water enough to cover them
well; take out the stones; dissolve half
paper of gelatine. Stir it into the hot
water that the prunes are stewed in.
Sweeten to taste. Add the juice to two
lemons. Pour over the prunes. Make
the day before so that there will be time
for it to harden thoroughly. Boston
Globe.
Some growers maintain that pear
trees are much less liable to blight if
left to grow in the grass than if cult
waited. 1t was believed at one time that
pears in sod were blight-proof, but ex-
perience contradicts this statement.
Trees in sod are less liable to sudden
changes, and especially to the excess
sive stimulation of growth at midsum-
mer, which is one of the chief provoca-
tions of the blight in pears. But too
much stunning of growth is almost
equally injurious.-Albany Journal.
Shawl strap: Take two pieces of
canvas, each one yard long and one and
one half inches wide. and another twelve
inches long and two inches wide. Work
the Grecian or any other pretty border
upon them. Sew the strips to pieces of
leather of the same length lined with
silk. Bind the edges of the canvas and
sew the shortest strip on the two others
as a handle. Then sew a pretty
worsted edging along the edges.
Then make your buttonholes and sew
on your button as you wish. These
shawl straps are both serviceable and
pretty. Boston Budget.

Fifty-one years ago Miss Prudence Gran

had been found guilty of teaching a
class of colored girls in school held in
her house. Trinity Church now stands
on the very site of the old jail.-Hart-

describes the speed of FIRE inthat sec
ton: THE entire country for forty or
fifty miles each side of Shoshoue seems
to be in flames, and the fire appears to
be gaining in all directions. The
rapidity with which it spreads under q
high wind is wonderful. About noon
there was but a mere breeze, with q
squirt or two. Yet the fire travelled
faster thana horse could run, and in
less than one hour had covered twenty
five or thirty miles. The flames would
rise in the air about thirty feet, break
in big blocks, sail along with the wind,
and land about 100 to 800 feet ahead.
Its speed is not surprising with such
gigantic leaps.

Though storms aud darkness oft obscure the

Past all our dreamland hopes and doubts and

He guides our steps. Through all the tangled

We know his will is done
And still he leads US on.

After the restless fever we call life
After the drcarincss, the aching pain,
The hayward struggles which have proved in
vain,
After our tolls are past,
Will give us rest at last.
