The Household.
An English gardener states that
fruit does not color so well in sunny
season as in one when there is but little
sunshine. There was more sunshine in
England last year than during any sea-
son for half cen n'ury, but still the ap-
pies, pears and peaches were very poor
ly colored.
To make apple SNOWFALL. Boil one
half pound of rice in milk till nearly
cooked; then strain; peel and core
some large apples without dividing
them. Put Glove and some sugar
into the centre of each apple, and the
ric, round them. Tie each up in a
cloth separately; boil for threc-quarters
of an hour; emove the cloth and place
on warm dish. ~ Y. Herald.
"A nurseryman asserts that apple
trees which have straight and upright
tops have roots of n similar character,
and that tho which have low and
spreading tops have bushy roots. Even
the color and peculiar markings of the
bark OF some varieties extend to the
roots. The nurseryman is therefore
able % dis ingui, Ii several varieties by
their roots alone. = Chicago Times.

ing it little attention, and il you do
not desire the increase yourself you can
do your friends favor by placing such
gems in their garden. The professional

Many farmers make mistake in
fitting their land before they know
where seed for sowing or planting it
can be had. They place Themselves at
great disadvantage by this mismanage-
ment, for nearly always Mt seeding
time there is scarcity, which advances
prices. Seedsmen do not change their
catalogue rates, but if orders are de-
layed till spring they may find all stock
sold out so that wants of customers
can not be supplied. - Prairie Farmer.
Geese should be supplied with food
adapted to their natural wants as far as
it is possible to furnish it, These birds
are more herbivorous than any of our
domestic fowls. As matter of course,
diet coming nearest their summer
grass forage suits them best. Fine
hay, soaked in warm water and sprnk-
led with meal or bran, is acceptable.
Boiled potatoes, mixed with meal,
serve well. Beets, turnips, potatoes or
apples, chopped fine, are good. Cab
bage is a fayorite food and ought to be
generously supplied. Corn is relishel
by them, but too much makes them
over fat.-N. Z. Farmer.
