Hints for the Cook.

A hot salad, which is a we'll known
Pennsylvania dish, is made by slicing
green tomatoes and small onions, and a
few potatoes and frying them together;
salt them we'll and send to the table
smoking.
Gingerbread may be varied and won
derfully improved by the addition of a
cup of grated cocoanut; this quantity is
sufficient for a loaf of medium size. Al
monds are also used in ginger cake, but
unless you add flavor of bitter almonds
there will not be q distinctive almond
flavor.
A very appetizing way to cook onions
is to boil them in salt and water until
they begin to be tender; drain the wat
er from them, and wrap each onion in
soft paper, set them side by side in a
dripping pan, let them bake until done,
then put them into vegetable dish and
pour rich brown gravy owe them
Spanish onions are especially nice
cooked in this way, as they have so del
icate a flavor.
To make red-cabbage salad choose a
small firm head; take off the outer
leaves, and cut the rest into very thin
slices; if you can shave it fine it will be
all the nicer; mix with it two teaspoon
fuls of salt, three teaspoonfuls salad oil,
or Of clarified butter, q little cayenne
pepper, a little curry powder if you
please. This salad in nice for two or
three days after it is prepared if it is
kept where it is cool; if you prefer q
sweet salad add sugar.

household MISCELLANY.

1t is estimated that if it cost but ten
minutes to add but one scrap to a crazy
quilt of 5000 scraps, and this is an al
lowance far too small, the quilt repre-
sents an outlay Of !, 800 hours, during
which the maker, if she really cared for
decorative art, might have acquired o
remunerative skill in it, m%ighthave mas
tered a language or might have learned
housekeeping.
Would you make your home specially
attractive and insure its utmost enjoy
ment for yourself, keep ever in view
that you must of necessity live amid
the surroundings you create, and take
heed that you so build as to secure the
greatest comfort and happiness o rthose
about you. Make home the depository
of your treasures, increase and multi
ply them, addto their charms, augment
their value and vigilantly guard them.
The burning of sulphur in a room
tightly closed, by throwing a small
handful on a pan of burning Goals. is as
effective as it is a simple means of thor
oughly extirpating the most offensive
of domestic insects. At this season,
when all their eggs have Matched, one
good fumigatlon, lasting two or three
hours, makes q complete radiance of
the victim vile. It must be remem-
bered that sulphur fumes areimmediate-
~ fatal to plants and that they must be
taken to other quarters if any are in
the infested room that is to be purified.
Plaster of Paris will drive away
reaches without the use of poison of any
kind. Last year we were troubled with
the little red ant, and with reaches and
other vermin in our pantry and cup
boards and milk-room. We sprink-
eled plaster OF Paris on our shelves, in
the cracks, around wood-piles, around
and yer fower-po and in numberless
places where vermin do c~ongregate,
with good results. I am happy to state
we have not been troubled with vermin
since. Five cents worth yearly is
enough for any family. Even flies seem
to avoid it.. r. IS

manure which consists chiefly Of the
droppings of animals should be applied

droppings OF animals should be applied
as soon as practicable to the soil. Sec
ond, manure consisting largely of
straw, cornstalks or other fibrous mat
ter should be first rotted to become
fine. Third, manure should be Applied
to or near the surface of the soil or
should be slightly buried. Fourth, for
lloed crops, and especially for corn
crops, it may be buried deeper than for
straw crops.
Taking VOLTS tables as given in
Johnson's How Crops Grow" as the
basis for calculation, we find that a ton
of wheat straw contains of ash materi-
ais in pounds 99.2. This ash will con-
tain ia pounds of potash, worth 5
cents a pound for manure-57 cents.
Phosphoric acid, 5.36 pounds, at 5
cents-27 cents. The straw also con-
tains 40 pounds of albuminoids contain
ing 6 % pounds of nitrogen, worth 20
cents a pound, $1.33. Total manurial
value of a ton of straw, $2.17. In a ton
OF wheat straw there is enough potash
for 30 bushels of wheat; enough phos-
phoric acid for 8 bushels, and enough
nitrogen for s bushels. Whether the
farmer can afford to sell straw for rs to
so cents II ton the inquirer can easily
determine from these estimates of val
ues.-Dr. r. G. Kedzie.

AOourHng-8tloks"-A Queer New
England Custom Of the Long
Ago.
In carly New England days, a far
back as the middle Of the eighteenth CEN
fury, when hospitality was a practice as
well as a virtue, there was in most
houses only n large assembly room,
and there the family and all the guests
and chance callers gathered on winter
nights about the blazing fire Of logs.
We know that youth was youth and
love was love, and young men were
timid and maidens were shy. and court
ship went on in those days. How was
courtship possible in this common room,
where every word was heard and every
look taken notice Of? We read in the
admirable volume on the recent CEN
tennial of Long Meadow, Mass, by
Prof. Richard s. STAIRS of that town,
in the winter evenings for the conven-
fence of young lovers, since there WINS
no next ROOM" courting-sticks were
used; that is, long wooden tubes that
could convey from lip to ear sweet and
secret whispers. Was this an invention
peculiar to Long Meadow?
It is a charming picture that this
calls up, of life in a puritan household,
this tubular love-making, the pref
ty girl (nearly every girl is pref
ty in the . freight of long ago)
seated in one stiff high backed
chair, and the staid but blushing
lover in another, handling the court
ing stick, itself an open confession of
complacence, ifnot of true love. Would
the young man dare to say, II love
you," through q tube, and would he
fesl encouraged by the laughing, tender
eyes Of the girl when she replied
through the same passage, "Do tell"
Did they have two sticks, so that the
end of one could be at the ear and the
end of the other at the mouth all the
while? How convenient. when the
young man got more ardent than was
seemly, rs the flip went round, for the
girl to put her thumb over the end of
the tube, and stop the flow Of soul! Did
the young man bring his stick, and so
announce his intention, or did the young
lady always keep one or o pair on hand,
and 80 reveal both willingness and ex-
pectati0n? It was mich more con-
yenient than the telephone, with its
hello" and proclamation to all listen
ers at each end of the line. Lovers can
make love with anything, even with q
telephone, the successful counting of a
deaf person (for there is one word that
nearly every M likes to hear), as we
know, a go on through a speaking
trumpet; but these counting sticks seem
to us the ne plus ultra of tender COM
munication-when a third party is pres
ent. They would be very useful now
at large parties, where there is such a
din and babble that one can only court
a pretty girl ct the risk of bronchitis or
laryngitis. Sometimes in the jam you
cannot get nea the girl; but with a long
counting stick you could vile her away
from her too ardent admirer. This in
vention seems to us worthy of revival for
many reasons, and we should be glad of
any further information in regard to it.
Civilization in its progress drops a good
many things that ought to be retained.

Leisure at Home.

When circumstances permit n busy
man or woman to travel and visit rela-
tons or places of interest, every
moment is made to yield as much en-
joyment as possible. This same plan
might be proitably followed with the
moments, or hours of leisure, at home.
Habit is an aver present master; and if
1T is the rule to make pleasant every
stray piece of time that is not freighted
with work, it will soon become a habit,
and the habit will encroach on the
glect Of work, but leading to an endeavor
to make it pleasant; and such work as
Smelling peas, peeling apples and pota-
toes, will often be done in the cool sit
ting-room OF under the shade of the
tree near the door. But the hours that
have no mortgage of work claiming
them as fast IS they come, will be given
to something that is r%ecreative.
The parlor of the house may profita-
bly, be made a place for pleasant occu-
patton; nothing that is work ought to
intrude here. If the house has q par
lor, let it be the one place where busy,
hurrying work is shut out, though fan
cy work that the finger and eye de-
light in, may be admitted. Here the
instinct that sets childish hands to
building play houses and adjoining them
this instinct still alive, though child
hood is past-may be indulged in again,
and this room be furnished for beauty,
though all the rest of the house must be
fitted for rough work-a-day use. Here
the carpet used need not he of service
able rags, but of finer texture and at
tractire pattern; frail vases may stand
in safety, and pictures and books be
scattered on the table convenient for
reference, and free from dust and hur-
ried handling, Tides and mats, that
would lose their beauty in a few weeks
in the comfortable sitting-room's every
day wear, keep bright and clean. The
house-w wife can here enjoy a quiet rest
sitting in a comfortable chair, and
looking at the pictures on the
walls and the ornaments about the room
collected by herself Of received as gifts
from husband, children, Or friends. If
no other day in the week gives time for
quiet enjoyment of the parlor, Sunday
will afford ONE leisure; and it is pleas
ant to throw open the room on Satur-
day morning, sweep and dust it, and
fill the vases with fresh f%avorite flowers,
making ready to spend here the hours
of Sunday rest. If a love for beauty
pervades the family, even the little
children will handle with loving fin
gers the pretty books, and soon learn
to respest the order and quiet of the
room, going outdoors or to the sitting
room to romp, and coming here for the
quieter pleasures of a story perhaps, or
a song.-Rural New Yorker.

Agricultural MISCELLANY.

New York Experiment Farm contains
lbs acres, situated in Geneva, ninety
acres Of which are under cultivation.
The annual allowance for its mainte-
nance is $40. 900, and those. in whose in
terest it is maintained are entirely sat
isfied with the results. The benefits of
the experiments conducted there, how
ever, are not confined to New York.
The faith of the agriculturists of the
country in the ability and carefulness of
Director Sturtevant, has given wide
publicity to his reports, and many wise
farmers have profited by them.
Mr.. E. S. Golf, horticulturist to the
State Experiment station, at Geneva,
N. Y, found In a trial of thirty varieties
of raspberries that they ripened from
July to IA, and continued in bearing
from twenty-one to thirty-fve DAYS.
The most productive, by far, was the
Early Prolific, an old sort now little
grown. and whose fruit has q harsh acid
flavor, but whose hardness and entire
freedom from thorns are thought to
render it a desirable parent for new
kinds. The second in yield was Clarke,
third Delaware, fourth Caroline. Phila-
delphia, Brandywine and Naomi gave
the smallest crops. Davison's Thorn
less was earliest; Gregg latest. .
An enthusiast writes of the cucumber
that it is one of the most useful vegeta-
bles we have, and can be dressed in a
greater variety of palatable ways than
any other except the tomato, It is bet
ter than squash, and more delicate than
the egg plant, prepared in the same
manner; can be stewed, fried or stuffed
and above all can be parboiled. mashed
up in butter and fried as fritters, more
pleasant and easily prepared thar any
other vegetable or fruit. When a Gu
cumber becomes just too old to be used
raw or for picking, it is then at its best
for cooking. and may be used for that
| purpose even until thu seeds become
hard. A Paw cucumber is, for most
| persons, an indigestib1e abomination,
however much they admire its flavor
and odor.
Mr.. j. B. Olcott says, in his crisp es-
say on the agricultural press, that it is
a disgrace to his newspaper that the
farmer should be continually cheated
by travelling quacks of bogus scientific,
religious, medical, or financial charac-
ter. Piles of money go out of ignorant
farmers pockets that we know of, and.
piles that w neyer hear about because
the losers are ashamed to tell. The
loss to an honest man would not be so
deplorable if the money did not go to
feed nests of rogues somewhere, and
give them a bold front to take on new
DISCUSSES, and extend their depredations
still wider upon society.
How to apply manure was decided at
a meeting Of the New York State Agri-
cultural Society as follows: First,

A Nut for wheat Growers.

What makes the present price Of
wheat so low is the large crop in Eng
land. This year they have had q good
harvest there and forty bushels to the
acre is looked upon rs quite a small
yield; which is, considering that q good
many farmers in good years pro duce as
much as sixty-four bushels to tho acre.
Our average is about eleven bushels;
parts Of New York and Ohio and even
of Michigan, run lower than this and
seven bushels in some countries is an
average twenty-five bushels is a rare
yield and thirty or forty is rarer, but
the fact that some farmers reach mp to
it shows how consistently some others
are reproducing wheat growing as q
small business. It is easy to get out OF
this small business by charging it, by
treating the land more literally and
trebling the yield. What man has
done, man can do. Solomon said: "In
times of prosperity rejoice; but in times
of advesity consider" And average"
wheat-growers may profitably do a good
deal of considering just now, but not
all to the disadvantage of the wheat
Triticum.
