ance year by year, and it must advance
in favor as the country becomes older.
1t pays to feed meat to the hens

A valuable bit of knowledge is that
bent whalebones can be restored and
used again by simply soaking in water,
few hours, then drying them.
"A former sufferer gives this as
cure for felons: Saturate a bit of
grated wild turnip the size of bean
with turpentine, and apply it to the af-

"A hill of raspberry plants, after be-
ing trimmed in the spring, should have
only three or four canes, about three
and one-half feet high and nearly one

es long.-Philadelrhia Press.
A Vermont sugar maker saws: sIt
takes on an average about sixteen
quarts of sap to make one pound of
sugar, and yet / know of one tree
which will make one pound of sugar
from five quarts of sap. Trees differ
as much for sugar as cows differ for
butter"
The chief difficulty in teaching
calves to drink from the pail aries
from too great haste. Let the calf be-
come hungry, warm the food to the

-Quinces can be raised as readily as
apples or pears. But the ground where
they are growing needs to be kept from
grass and weeds; and it is an excellent
practice to spread ashes of any sort and
lime around the trees, and dig such
fertilizing material into the soil.
Ounces sell as high as ten dollars a

The Caterer gives the following di-
rections for making strawberry cream:
Take pint of fresh hulled strawber-
ries, cover them thickly with pulverized
sugar and mash them with a spoon.
Extract the juice from them through
hair sieve. Now dissolve an ounce and
a half of gelatine in q pint of fresh
milk, adding to it a pint of rich
whipped cream and the Juice of the

the cream is ready to serve.
The latest improvement in raising
Lima beans is to use brush about eight
feet high, stuck like pea-brush, instead
of poles, as commonly practiced. Plant
in hills about three feet apart in the di-
rection of the rows, two or three plants
to the hill, and the rows six or eight
feet from each other. Cut off the tops
of the plants when they get above the
brush, and stop all the side shoots
when they are two feet long. The
vines are much better exposed to the
sun and air in this manner, and far
larger crops are said to be matured
than by polling Chicago Tribune
