In an old meadow, the grass becomes

WOODEN clothing, when washed with

that peculiar odor and feeling which so
annoys housekeepers, says these evil
effects are due to the decomposition of
soap by the acids present in the per-

of the soap is then precipitated upon
the wool. These effects may be pre-
vented by stepping the articles. in a

MILK should not be taken in copious
draughts, like beer or any other fluid
which differs from it chemically. In
infancy each small mouthful is secured
by effort and slowly presented to the
castle mucous surface for digestion. 1t
is thus regularly and gradually reduced
to curd, and the stomach is not oppress-
ed with a lump of half coagulated milk.
The same principle should be regarded
by the adult. Mix should be taken IN
mouthfuls, ut short intervals, and then
it is rightly dealt with by the gastric
juice. If milk be taken after other food,
1t is almost sure to burden the stomach
and cause discomfort and indigestion,

FATrENING towbs Where it is de.
sirable to do this in the shortest space
Of time, a good method is rs follows:
Shut up each fowl in a small coop or
box, and place it il a darkened place.
At the start give no food for six or
eight hours, and then begin a course
of regular feeding three times a day.
Let the food be corn meal, we'll boiled
and crumbly, with barley or oat meal
porridge frequently for a change, and
there must be water in the coop. Re-
move what is left both of food aud
water as loon as the bird is satisfied.
III two or three weeks the bird ought
to be very fat, and then if the fattening is
not discontinued it will sicken. By this
method only fat accumulates. If the
sane amount of food and care we're be-
slowed on young chickens running free,
the fattening would take longer, but there
would be an increase of good flesh with
the fat.

AGRICULTURE.

ARRANGE FOR MORE CLOVER. Formers
do not ss a rule properly appreciate the
great value OF this crop. As hay il
is excellent food, and makes a manure
three or four times as rich in nitrogen,
az manure from feeding straw. For
pasture clover possesses great value,
and it is also unequale1 as a green
manure. For the latter purpose some
turn II under when the crop is full e own
in June; others take off a crop OF hay,
or pasture the clover field early and
then allow it 10 Come on again and turn
IL under for wheat; still others allow
one large crop to develop her turn it
under. Sometimes two crops are taken
of, and the field is piowed the next sea-
son, and sometimes the second
crop is allowed to be developed for see I.
Being a strong rooted plant, the me-
chanical condition of the soil is always
much improved by a vigorous crop of
clover. Some farmers entertain the
idea that the decay OF the root in the
soil is equivalent TO q good applied fer
%tilizer, ever if the crop above ground is
harvested. However used the plant Is
worthy of receiving increased attention
from all farmers. Glover ought to have
a place IN every rotation.

CURRANT CUTTINGS Very few plants
can be propagated from cuttings with
such ease and certainty of success as
can the cuTElnt, when the work is done
al the right season and in the right
way. N~inety-nine one-hundredths of
the failures In growing this plant from
cuttings are due 10 the work being done
in May instead of September. If the
cuttings are taken from the bushes after
the buds have started, the chances are
that hot, dry weather will overtske the
plants before they have time to put
forth roots and become we'll established
in the soil. Take your cuttings from the
present seasons growth, cutting them
of just below a vigorous bud. When
you nave the desired number, tie them
in punches Of twenty-five or fifty and
bury them in the ground wnere water
will not stand around them. In the
spring when taken up, the cut will be
nicely calloused, and numerous fbrous
roots will have started, Keep from air
and sun when planting, and not n in
a dozen will fail to grow.
