HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Pea vines should have plenty OF
sun and air. Mold will attack thcm
4 grown in the shade.
Good feed and abundant pasture
will not keep animals in good con-
dtion unless they have plenty OF pure
water.
When fruit must be scalded to pre-
vent fermentation IL should be boiled
tor several minutes, or 1t will do no
manner Of good, and you will have your
trouble for nothing. This applies TO
chopped pickle as well. Troy Times.
Gardening is regularly and prac-
tically taught in more than twenty
thousand primary schools in France.
Every school has its garden, and teach
crs must not only be good gardeners,
but qualified 10 teach horticulture, or
they can not pass examination.

"A Canadian horticulturist advises
shading gooseberry bushes to prevent
mildew. He had been troubled with
the birds taking the berries, and had n
frame placed around the bushes. and
laths nailed to it near enough together
to exclude the birds. and this proved to
be exactly the shade required. The ber.
ries grew to large size and hung on
the bushes in perfection for long time.
The american Garden says that the
scraping of fruit trees is often carried
to excess A healthy, vigorous tree
does not require to be scraped at all; it
needs all its natural bark for protection
against the cold, drying winds of winter,
and against the parching sun of sum-
mer, as much so as birds need their
feathers and wild beasts their fur The
superhuous, scaly part of the bark of a
healthy tree is continually thrown off
by its own expansion.
When meal is fed plain to cows,
they often pass it with but half dgcs-
ton, or in this shape it is apt to pass
into the intestines without being re-
tured with the cud to be remasticatcd.
This creates loss, and to prevent it
mix the food with wet cut hay, straw,
fodder or other coarse food. 1t is said
that meal fed dry. if not mixed with
rough feed, will be better masticated
than when it is fed wet Western Agri-
cuiturist.
No garden will give satisfaction if
it is cold and wet. The advantage of n
few bitches or tiles under ground can
not be estimated. The earliest vegeta-
bles are produced on warm, dry, mel
low soils, and this state can not be at
tained until the garden is made so by
drainage. Sandy soils drain themselves
sufficiently, unless underlaid with clay,
when they, too, must be drained, in or
der to allow the surplus moisture to
pass of. Cleveland Leader.
Veal Salad: Cut fine some cold
stewed veal, removing every scrap of
fat, gristle and skin; add three-quartcrs
of the same bulk of chopped celery.
Pour over them dressing made as fol-
lows: Rub the yelks of two hard-boiled
eggs, smooth; add pepper, salt, sugar
and mustard; moisten with raw egg,
well beaten; add the vinegar by de-
grees, beating hard all the time.
Sprinkle salt over the veal and celery
before pouring on the dressing. .-NeW
