Rust on blackberry canes can be cured by ap-

A mixture of $50 pounds of bone dust and 10
to 20 pounds of wood ashes forms y fertilizer that
will be useful to any crop.
One of the farmers clubs of Ohio is of the
opinion that when potatoes sell for less than forty
cents per bushel, it is more profitable to feed
them to stock than to sell.
The Germantown Telegraph advises ordinary
farmers to hesitate before building expensive
silos. but they need not hesitate to cut down the
rations of corn and feed more roots.
The desire to select farms and market gardens
near large cities is founded in error. There is
scarcely a village or town that does not find diff
Guilty in procuring a full and ready supply of
vegetables and fruits.

The managers for cattle should always be low.
Nearly all the managers and racks of our farmers
are high. When a cow has to reach up for food
there is a tendency to abuse the throat and neck
muscles. There are several diseases that arise
from this very cause.
In Nebraska and Dakota sod is found to be an
excellent substitute for wood i'll building poultry
houses, and much more economical in these
t~reeless lands. Like wooden houses, they may
be kept clean and comfortable, or quite the re

Prof. J. W. Sanborn says: Corn fodder has a
practical feeding value of two-thirds to three
quarters that of good hay, sure, and more, under
favorable conditions. The fodder corn and
straw wasted in the West is sufficient to double
the stock now kept, at least that kept west of
the Mississippi, and east of the ranches The
suggestion is worth needing in all sections of
the country.

Recipes.

Winter Succotash.-To make succotash that
will taste nearly, if not quite, as fresh as that
made in summer. soak one pint of dried corn in
sweet milk all night. Soak an equal quantity,
or less if you prefer it, of dried Lima beans for
three hours in luke-warm water Then let them
simmer for nearly an hour, add salt, butter, pep
per, and a very little sugar.
Graham Crackers.-Take a pint of sweet
cream, stir it into two even teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder, and turn in enough Graham -four to
make a stiff dough. Knead well and beat with
the rolling pin for half an hour, adding half a
cupful of sugar if you wish them sweet. Roll
very thin and cut into squares, and prick all
over. Let them stand half an hour. Bake ff-
teen minutes.
Hominy Fritters. -Hominy fritters help make
variety for the breakfast table. Boil the hominy
the day before, then take two teacups of it. and
stir a small cup of sweet milk and u little salt
with it, and one egg, four tablespoonfuls of -four,
with half a teaspoonful of baking powder. Have
your frying pan ready with the fat hot in it;
drop this batter in by spoonfuls, and fry a deli
cate brown. The flavor is better if half butter
and half lard is used, rather than all lard.
Krappels.-To one quart of flour add three
tablespoonfuls of butter, three of white sugar.
and a little salt, three tablespoonful Of yeast,
and two we'll beaten eggs. Let the dough be
well mixed up with a little warm water or milk,
so that you can mould it thoroughly together for
twenty minutes or more. Then cut into small
pieces, mould round like an apple, open them in
the middle, and fill up with raspberry Jam, or
strawberry preserve, or stewed apples, or
peaches. Place the krappels upon a tin to rise
very light, and when double the size they We're
first made, fry them in hot lard like dOughnutS,
and sprinkle over them, while hot, white sugar
with ground cinnamon mixed together.

that you may cultivate most Of it with a horse
al a small expense compared with hand hoeing
and fnger-weeding.
Save manure by not allowing anything to
waste, and prevent liquid fertility from running
off for want of absorbents or of compost heaps to
receive it. Many farmers who would be sorry
to have $50 in bills stolen from them, allow $3.50
worth OF enriching materials to escape and
waste.
Prevent your crops from being devoured by
the growth of weeds, first by securing labor
enough, or by planting less in area. so that you
may adopt the cheap mode of killing these in
truders before they reach the surface of the mel
low soil.
Keep the quarters occupied by pigs pure and
clean, and do not allow the animals which are to
afford food for your nice and clean table to wal
low in filth and manure. Pigs like cleanliness if
only allowed Il fair chance, and if not driven into
the dirt by careless owners.
Keep farm accOunts-measure and record the
area OF your felds-fnd out what crops and what
modes for cultlvating them pay best, and do not
operate in the darkness of guess-work.
Do not throw broken tools, or any kind Of rub
bish into the public road, any sooner than you
would into your front yard; make the highway
an ornament to your farm, instead of allowing
the roadsides to grow up with thistles. mulleins,
brers, n~ettles, jo%hnswort, poison hemlock, OK
eye, burdock, and toad-Aax.
Plant a few more fruit trees, keeping up an
annual addition to your orchard or fruit garden
as the case may require, and see thatyoUrs straw
berry bed and raspberry plantation are timely
replenished. And when planted out, give them
all the cultivation they require, and not allow
them to fail in fruit by neglect.
.Top-dress bearing orchards annually or bien-
nlally, and cultivate young or newly set orchards
as assiduously as you would a crop of corn, tur-
nips or potatoes; any of these three crops being
suitable to raise among the young trees.
Make a timely register of all fruit trees when
set out, so that when they come into bearing
and the labels are lost you will know what they

First of all, try to make your family as com
Portable as circumstances will admit. Do not
compel your wife to come to you for a little
money every time she wants to make a small
purchase, and do not say to her, as a certain
penurious man said when his wife requested a
little change: I'd like to know what has become
of the ten cents l let. you have last week!'
Farmers wives generally work very hard, early
and late, and they deserve liberal pay for it. as
well as a share in your profits. Hand over to
them "A liberal allowance as often as once a quar-
ter, so that they may enjoy a little freedom in
expenditure, and let it be regular and uniform.
Make the surroundings of your dwelling pleas
ant and attractive by planting trees and shrubs,
and by providing a hand lawn mower.
Small fruits, as Strawberries, c%urrants. rasp-
berries, and larger fruits, as early pears and
peaches, in liberal supply, are both pleasant and
wholesome, save largely on the butchers bills,
and cost comparatively little if you manage
them well and plant in time.
Save disappointment and a chafed temper by
providing good fences where they are needed,
and do not allow your own and neighbors' ami
mails to break through and feast on your young
crops.
Keep r good kitches garden, but occupy no
more ground than you can heavily enrich and
keep perfectly clean; and have it so laid out

How to Make Ban Trimming.

Country Gentleman.
Balls, for finishing tides, lambrequins and many
other pieces of fancy work, are much prettier
than tassels; yet are so hard to make, when
wound through a ring of cardboard. that one is
often tempted to substitute the latter. Very
pretty balls can, however, be crocheted, and make
a good substitute, especially if one lacks time or
worsted. Begin with a ring of three stitches,
and make a deep cup-shaped piece the size de-
sired for the ball; then narrow by skipping
stitches; and when nearly closed, fiji With a little
''wad' of cotton wool. To keep the ball from
looking pointed, it is necessary to narrow more
rapidly than the widening on the other end. Do
not try to crochet little stem to the bah without
breaking the thread, as it will give til one-sided
look. Break OF the thread. fasten with a needle, and
join on the stem in the same manner. In max
ing balls by winding, pretty effects are often
given by covering the ring first with one color
and finishing with another, or making all of a
solid color save a few threads at last. The first
gives a ring around the ball, the other a dot on
either end; this, with care, can oe initiated very
nicely in crocheted balls.

"Matters look a little brighter to-day was
the more common remark in commercial circles.
While there is no marked increase in trade,
there is a feeling that we are gradually reaching
a better time, and that coming weeks will de-
velop a much more satisfactory trade.
The movement in the dry-goods trade is en-
souraging. There is not yet a very active mar
Set, but ground is being steadily, though rather
slowly, gained. The tendency is still toward
aigher prices in q moderate degree. Whenever
slight advance can be made without too great

done, till plain and colored domestic cottons are.
