of fine bone with a wagon-load of stable
manure. The bone makes the manure
heat more quickly, and the manure soft
ems or dissolves the particles of bone.

Provide good harness for your
horses, especially the collars. A faulty
and poorly fitting collar may lose you
several days work by one of your best
horses. If it can be done, let the har-
ness-maker take the size of the horses
shoulders before making the collar

If sawdust is easily procurable it
will pay to mulch the ground around
all vines and bushes heavily with it. 1t
may not do the vines as much good as
fertilizer, but indirectly viii benefit
them greatly. 1t keeps the weeds down
and thus saves much labor, keeps the
ground moist and mellow, and gradual
1y becomes rotten wood, when it is one
of the most valuable fertilizers for
plants and vines.-Pratrie Farmer.
Warmed Over Veal: Chop cold
roast veal very fine and cook it an hour
in a gravy made of soup stock thick

tiers Canned oysters will do if fresh
ones are not available), put in gener-
Gus lump of butter, CRATE of nutmeg
and few drops of lemon juice; pepper
and salt should have been put in the
gravy at the beginning.-The House

EARLY vegetables necessitate putting
the seed in the ground often before al
danger of freezing is past. A good way
to protect the seed and to insure them
to terminate is, after the seeds are in,
to cover the beds an inch deep with
fresh fine stable manure. This will
start the seeds, prevent freezing, and if
there is any danger of the manure in
juring the plants it can be raked off just
as they are ready to come through. The
advantage of this is that it will secure
weeks earlier start, which is quite an
item in growing earlier vegetables for
market. Detroit Post.
