Fancy Pickles.

Young sealloped squashes make beautiful vel

and makes them look very natural. A fiat glass

interspersed with few white onions and yellow
squashes, and surmounted by bright red

table need blush to own.
Purple pickle may be obtained by the use of
purple cabbage but it is troublesome, and docs

pickles, nature is perfect model.
.SWees pickles are made by adding sugar to
vinegar, SO as to form syrup, and refraining
from the promiscuous use Of spices The usual
rule is one pound of sugar and one pint of vine
gar to every three pounds of fruit
Peaches, pears, cherries, damsans, grapes to-
matoes, beets, watermelon rinds, etc, are all
more Or less desirable fm this purpose. Some
cook the ingredients thoroughly at once, but
prefer the old style of scalding them nine CON
saoutive mornings. This method preserves the
shape better Peaches should be pared and
favored with allspice. Pears, if large should
be halyed, pared, and favored with cinnamon
bark. Cherries and damsosS need no special
spices, but alspiee may be added to cherries.
Watermelon rinds should be pared, and may be
cut into many pretty and fancy shapes, and then
thrown into brine to await your leisure. In pre-
pairing them for use, soak until fresh boil in
alum water until tender, soak in another clear
water then boil again in the proper quantities
of vinegar and sugar, to which add some corian-
der seed. They make delicious pickle, but are

new England Farmer.
Professor J. w. Sanborn, of the Missouri
State Agricultural College, is constantly making
experiments in feeding animals, and gives the
pnblic the results, as far as determined, in the
shape of bulletins. Bulletin No. 10 shows the
value of shipstuff as compared with corn and
corn-meal for feeding pigs. Els experiments
show that although corn-meal is a better food
than whole corn for pig, yet when the cost of
carrying to mil and paying toll is reckoned
An there is very little if any gain to the Western
farmer from grinding his corn.
He also finds that shipstuff tthe waste Of the
Touring 1nilll is worth far morefor pigfood than
most Western farmers have been willing to be-
lieve. In a late trial about ninety four pounds
of shipstuff gave the same gain in growth that
was made from 100 pounds of corn meal and
the Professor says this acccrds with the expert
nents made by him for the past six years. He
advises Western farmers to feed more of their
wheat wastes, instead Of sending it off to East
ern feeders, who find it one of the cheapest
forms in which to purchase fertility for their
farms.
The Professor further finds that corn fed to
steers will not produce more than half the meat
that it will when fed to pigs. But as our people
are not grease eaters we must learn to feed our
swine in way that will give more muscle and
less lard By exposing sections of ithe,cHFoasses
of the pigs fed upon corn and upon .shipstuff
he found that the latter showed "a very much
better quality of meat The conclusion to be
drawn is that "a mixture of corn or coPn-mea
and wheat wastes is fur better for pig feeding
Than corn or corn meal alone, the exclusive
Iise OF which is detrimental to a vigorous and

stems Still another way to ornament basket,
large one, Is to cover tho outside with drao
aida canvas embroidered. A little embroidery
S very effective on this canvas. One use to !
which baskets are now put. is to hold plant jars.
Nothing makes pBettier covering than q deco
rated basket Pretty scent sachets are made
by taking a square of silk, fold it so that IT
will be in the shape of triangle, stitch 1t all
around after putting the little bag containing the
purfume powder inside; leave space enough
around the edge so that it may be frlnged
The upper side may be ornamented by embro-
deFing painting uponit. or by putting small
silver or nickel initials upon il. Another way to
make these is to paste or glue very pretty
Christmas card to ribbon, leaving the ribbon TO
extend several inches beyond the card at each
end fringe the ribbon, put the powder lntoa ut
tie bag Just the size Of the picture, and lay be-
tween The two ribbons which form the upper and
under parts of the sachet, These may be stitch
ed together. Ribbons or pieces of satinsTlth the
cards attached are also used for the centre OF pin
cushions OF making pincushions there is no end
They are now made very high and hard, 50 that
they keep their form perfectly. A lovely one ex-
hibited in an art store window recently was
small not more than ten inches square; 1T was
covered with pink satin, and at the center was q
title square of embroidered muslin trimmed
with lace the lace and muslin covered abouttwo-
thirds of the cushion, then another row of lace
finished it, this extending to the edge; the first
row reaching just to the edge of, the second at
ono corner under the first row of lace were
placed two or three very spailapd exquisite rose
buds
Another pretty cushion cover is made by cut
ting a suitable figure out Of ribbon or brocade
silk; apply this tOia square of satin and outline

| Thick lace covers over crimson silk are pretty
and easily made, bow at one corner improves
it; faneifu penzwipers are made of gray-eol9red

somewhat ruffled, you can utilize them in this
way.

New Englan Farmer
While travelling over some Of the large grain
farms in New York State, where nearly all the
work is done by horse power, and by labor-sav-
ing machines, we could not help having tho
question forced upon u.s. Does farm machinery
tend to the production Of small crops upon our
American faHmsl We certainly saw fields OF oats
that would pay but small profit ION the cost OF
production if,theyi had been harvested by hand
labor, as was;the universal custom few years
ago We saw a small boy thirteen years old
driving a reaper around an oats field, and doing
hands were doing the binding The seed drill,
the sulky plough, and several Of the harrows
may be driven by boys, and the temptation Is
strongto keepkthe machines at work upon large
areas because the Land can be worked cheaply,
while in many eases the preservation of the
fertility of the soil so that it can produce large
crops, seems to be nearly lostssight of.
Machines enable farmers to go over a much
larger number OF, acres than they could by the
old sickle and cradle methods ofharvesting and
they can also run their land out faster by the
new than by tho old methods. Rhe machines
ought to give the farmer mere time to study
his business more time to think, more time to
enjoy life, more time to make his family happy
and more time to devote to the education OF bis
children.
While the sewing machine has seemed to add
to the labors of many good housekeepers, by
bringing around a fashion for vastly moro
stitches, the harvesting and other farm ma
echineS intended to save labor appear TOO often
only TO have helped the farmer TO rob his land
a little moro readily, and thus hasten the time
when it must be abandoned altogether or be
subjected to an expensive course OF reclama-
ton This criticism on the ruse of farm ma
chinery, we are glad to know, does not apply
to all farmers, but 1t does apply to far too many
1t would pay for most of us to farm better.

Early Maturity.

&atooI'5 4teNleW.
What age is best for besf9 The increase in
our exports of live cattle during the last few
years has called the attention of the American
farmer to the profitable age for beef II is
evident that tho greater value can concen-
trate into large animal within a given time the
greater will be our profit. The United States
far exceeds Great Britain and Europe in the
amount of meat consumed per capita and an in
crease of sales can be reasonably expected when
the very best quality is offered them. The En-
gtish farmers understand that their home pro
duction of meat is not sufficient to supply the de-
mand. There is room for their own and all we
send. 1t has been claimed that early ma
turity offers the only safe system of profitable
beef production In those countries where the
first study s to furnish food for the greatest
number of animals little matters will be studied
that entirely escape the attention of feeders in
our country, where there is such an abundance
of space and food. But the generous production
OF q new soil cannot always last unless the soil is
compensated for the crops taken from it The
British feeders have for years favored the early
maturity of cattle for market, and are fast ex-
pioding the old idea that four-year-old beef is
necessarily superior to that from younger ami
mai The first compromise in England was on
three year-old beef it being feared at the time
however, that cutting off one year would reduce
the quality; but on the contrary, it proved en-
tirely satisfactory to both butchers and consum-
srs and it was at length discovered that thirty
months were sufficient to produce excellent quail
fty with but very little falling off in weight BY
thus shortening the market age it was found
that large percentage was added 70 the profit,
and the best feeders finally succeeded in matur
ing the steer in twenty-four months realizing
about the same prices they had obtained in the
thirty six months beef. But we shall have still
more wonderful statements in regard to ''calfy
meat" which is procured from steers and heifers
at from eleven to twelve months old. Mr. e. w.
Stewart in his work on Feeding Animals tells
us of an animal killed by Mr.. Page, of England.
