An Absurd Idea.

1t is astonishing how often, if any
thing is said or written with an air of
oracular wisdom, it will be swallowed
down by multitudes, even though not
particle of truth be in it, or the least
pretense of proof be offered. Such
statements as the following illustrate
what we mean:
1t is a great mistake of a mother to
place one of the children to sleep with
an aged person, no matter how crowded
the home nest. A straw pallet on the
floor even is far preferable. In almost
every case the vitality of the child is
impaired to the aged person, but at a
fearful cost to the little one. l remem-
Der little bound boy who was obliged
to sleep with the aged grandfather of
the house, and who grew up most puny
and thin, and miserable, an old man in
his boyhood."
Here we are gravely told, as though
it were a well-known and accepted
truth, that the old person takes " vital
ity" from the young one, and grows
stronger, while the young one pines
away. We have no doubt that the
writer of the above extract thought she
had proved her point conclusively in
stating the case of the {" little bound
boy" But surely she must have seen
many children who were puny, and
who grew up puny, thin and miserable,
yet never slept with any old person.
This belief, besides being without
foundation, is very cruei to old people,
and often to the child, whose grand
mother may be at times much more
able to care for it by night than its
mother. Diseased people, of course,
are not wholesome bedfellows, young
or old, but a sound, clean and healthy
man or woman, no matter how old,
will never injure the health of those
who share their bed. People do not
grow poisonous as they grow old. Far
from it, and the good grandmothers,
who so love their children's offspring,
and take such sweet care of them,
should not be made the victims of a
gross and groundless superstition.

will often give quite as good crop Of
corn and potatoes as heavy dressing
of dung. All these points the farmer
should study up thoroughly and work
over in his mind until he understands
them well. Every farmer should ex-
pertinent some every year, to learn for
himself how manures and fertilizers
act; yet if his experiments don't come
out as he expected he had better not
come to any hasty conclusions, but try
it over again, and see if he cannot dis
cover where he made a mistake. One
real solid fact, gained by careful tests,
is worth more in the way of practical,
money-making knowledge, than hun
bred hasty guesses.
In reply to A. WIS last question, we
may say that salt, about six bushels to
the acre, tends very strongly to stiffen
the straw of small grains. We do not
know that it would have the same effect
on corn, never having felt the need of
stiffening that plant.

Caution in Use of Potash Salts.

eve earnestly caution our readers
to make no mistakes in the use of
kainit. If you use large amount
around the butt of the tree, you will
kill it at once. If you throw kainit on
your tree when wet, the kainit sticks
and kills both bark and leaves, and
ruins the tree. If you apply kainit be-
fore the tree has made some growth, it
will soak into the soil and kill the ten
der roots as fast as they start in growth.
Use ii only after the gro,oM has started
and the roots are strong. June is the
best time to apply it to fruit-trees. AT
that time the rains do not carry the
kainit as quickly to the roots as the
earlier rains do"
The above is from Farm and Garden.
This is all true, and many farmers
in New England have discovered that
kainit used in the hill for corn and
potatoes will kill, or nearly kill, the
plants. We saw whole field of corr
spoiled that way last year, and if the
owner had not left three or four rows
without kainit he would hardly have
realized the cause. Kainit is full,
three-fourths common salt, and only
about ten per cent potash. 1t costs
more than ashes, and is not half al
good. If used at all it should be sowr
broadcast on the furrow and narrowed
in. Even the higher grades of potasl
salts, muriate and sulphate, contain too
much common salt to be used in tn,
hill without being very carefully mixeC
with the soil. AS the freight is tn,
same for all, it is economy to buy thu
high grade-the sulphate for potatoes

Apple and Pear Blight.

Professor Arthur of New York said
that in pear blight the leaves do not
turn black until several days, or weeks,
after the limbs have been affected, so
that, in cutting off blighted leaves, we
should cut several inches below the last
branches affected, and also below any
change in the appearance of the bark.
He thinks the disease usually enters
the trees through the blossoms, or
through the very young leaves or buds
at the end of a growing twig. He
does not think the disease is ever com
municated through the roots, and there
is but very little danger of communi-
eating it by the pruning-knife. He
considers blight on apple, pear and
ounce trees identical, because he could
easily inoculate one from the other.
He is quite sure that close watching
and the prompt cutting off of the dis
eased branches will keep the blight in
check. He has no faith in the efficacy
of washes applied to the trunks. The
professor evidently believes in the
germ theory of disease, but our convic-
ton is that blight is partly a disease of
nutrition, and partly due to climatic
causes, and that the ''germs" only attack
successfully already diseased parts, in
which, however, they greatly aggravate
and extend the diseased action.

Onions from Sets.

d. Landreth & Sons, seedsmen, of
Philadelphia, say:
" All the large onions produced in
this section are grown from sets, and
mature in advance of those grown from
seed in New England, New York state
and the West. They are mostly sold in
ropes and are consumed here. The
crop, as compared with last year, is
more than one-third less, and it has
been disposed of and will not enter
into competition with other localities.
With regard to bottom sets, more than
two-thirds of the entire product of the
United States is grown at Philadelphia.
We grow on our own lands upwards of
forty acres annually, in addition to
about twenty acres more under con-
tract and for which we supply the seed.
The crop this year is two-thirds of an
average one and the quality is exceed
ingly fine"
1t strikes us that where the seasons
are short in New England it would be
a good idea to plant these sets, in
stead of the black seed. In the South
sets are used because it is difficult to
get onions to bottom well from black
seed. Here we do not have that diff
Guilty, but we encounter another-that
of too short season. We think, also,
that onions from sets would not suffer
so much from the worm. We shall try
them,

Letter from Abbie.

Dear Household Il am interested in
all the common-sense recipes. l have
tried some that were good. 1 don't
think much Of recipes that require
two pounds of raisins or dozen of
eggs for cake, etc. They don't
amount to much for common people,
for of course we never try them; but
we don't have many such in this paper.
l wonder why it is, in nearly all of the
recipes we read for making coffee, that
they say take one or two eggs. Does
it make the coffee taste better, or is it
just simply to settle it? If that is it, l
can tell you a much cheaper way to
settle it, when eggs are as high as they
are now. Just make a little bag out of
any kind of thin white cloth and tie it
by running string in the top. Put
your coffee in the bag, draw up the
string, wind it round two or three times,
and I'll warrant you won't have any
grounds in your coffee. When you
edo the Dishes" empty the bag, rinse
it, hang it up to dry, and it is ready for
next time. | will send two or three
recipes that are tried and true. They
are not original, but have never seen
them in print, and l know them to be
good from experience:
GRAHAM ROLLs.-One-half pint of
sour milk or butter-milk, one table
spoonful of cream, two table-spoonfuls
of mOlasses or moist sugar, one small
tea-spoonful of soda and one of salt;
thicken with graham flour till you can
take up heaping spoonful readily, and
bake in gem-pans.
INDIA WHEAT CAKE.-One tea-cup-
full of butter-milk, one tablespoonful
of cream, one small cupful of stewed
and sifted pumpkin: sweeten to suit
the taste; anywhere from none to one
half cupful of molasses, one small tea
spoonful of salt and soda, two-thirds of
cup of sifted coarse flour or graham
and two-thirds of cup of India wheat
flour. l never ate any India wheat
cake that could compare with that made
after this recipe. 1t is not dry, but
is moist and good. Some one try it and
report. ABBIE, Stowe, Vt.
Thanks to Abbie for her interesting
letter. In a few words to the editor
she compliments the Household, and
wishes it were as extensive as the same
department in some exclusively agri-
cultural papers. But she and others
must remember that while the WATCH
MAN prints as much matter as the
papers referred to, it must restrict the
special departments, in order to give
the local and general news fully, which
the agricultural papers do not attempt,
but which our readers must have.-ED. ]

A Chapter on Pies.

Where is the Yankee who does not
enjoy a good piece of pie? | say good,
because there are pies and pies. To
make a good pie we will begin at the
foundation, which is a deep plate for
custard, lemon, squash, pumpkin, fresh
fruit and berry pies. The crust is
the next thing, and we do not want
that solid. Take six cupfuls of sifted
flour and mix in it one small teaspoon
full of soda and two of cream of tartar,
or two large tea-spoonfuls of baking
powder. Rub into the flour one cup
full of lard, or, if other shortening is
used, alittle more; m,Xwith cold water.
This quantity of flour will make six
pies with only one crust, or four with
two crusts, To make good squash or

OATS AS FooD.-Oatmeal is growing
in popularity as human food. The
crop in this country is unusually large
and in most places the grain is very
plump. 1t is not necessary to hull the
oats before grinding, as is usually done
which makes oatmeal cost more thar

sift the meal through a fine sieve, ant
the oatmeal will be just as good anC

Fruit Questions.

w. S. of Bradford, Vt, asks: " %
Which are the three best bookkeeping
winter apples for Northern Vermont to
plant by the thousand for market? GU
Will the cultivated cherries do well on
stocks of the wild black that grows
here? (3) Can plums be grown on
wild black cherry stocks, and make
good healthy tree? (4) What do you
think of the Russian apricot? / hear
that you have them on your grounds,
and that you have fruted them the past
season. Will it pay to grow them for
market?"
REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDITOR.
Q) We should think that Bethel of
Vermont, Jewett's Fine Red (Nodhead)
and Wealthy would make a good list of
winter apples for Orange county. But
we would advise consultation with local
chardists-Deacon Closson of Thet-
ford, for instance. (2) The only native
cherry upon which the cultivated sorts
can be successfully grated or budded is
the common red "bird cherry" (Pru-
nus PennSylrdnicO. (3) No. (4) The
fruit-tree now being sold as the Rus
sian apricot is distinct Asiatic species,
PrunuS Sibirica, and should be called
the Siberian apricot. 1t resembles the
common apricot (P. arn,eniaco), but
is smaller in all its parts, including the
fruit, which runs in size with the
plums, but is woolly, like peach. The
fruit of trees grown from seed, as they
generally are, varies in quality and size.
The better kinds are propagated by
some nurserymen by budding. We
have the trees, but have only eaten
fruit sent to us from Kansas, which
was very good. 1t has not been long
enough in cultivation in this country to
show whether it can be profitably
grown as a market fruit.
