A writer in the Southern Planter
thinks that the best way to make en-.
silage is to cut it down, shock it up and
let it stand one week in the field before
beginning to cut it up. The advantage
OF letting it stand for while is that
some of the water sap is evaporated.
1t seems to be sweeter, and loses that
sickening, green smell which fresh
green fodder has when cut up.

water, applied when the trees are set
and when the hole is two-thirds filled
in, will be beneficial. If the hole be
then filled with loose earth and mulch
OF straw added, the roots will be likely
to keep moist throughout the season,
and the ground will not become packed
on the surface"

will add two or three tablespoonful of
boiled sour cider to each sliced apple
pie in making, she will find it decided
improvement at this season. Sweeten
and season as before. For dried APP
pies, mix a small quantity with the
stewed sauce before filing the plates,
or slice lemon among the apples while
stewing. Or should the apples be sour
enough, a few raisins make an agreea-
bic addition. -EGcbd91ge.
AT every period of life, at all sea-
sons of the year, and from the tropics
to the poles, in every cline and coun-
try, the temperature Of the human body
in health is the same to a degree, that
is, ninety eight of Fahrenheit; hence we
should eat in winter mainly of warming
food, such as meats, fats, oils, sugar
and all the grains, farinas and starches
in summer, the fruits and berries and
melons, and vegetables of the field, the
garden and the orchard, which cool and
open and ventilate the system.-HalfS
