But, talking about cooking oysters, l want
to say right here that the palmer oysters are
cooked the better Oysters don't wear any
frills. Now, in order to make stew, put
your oysters in the stewpan with their own
liquor, add a small piece of butter, some roll
ed cracker, and season with pepper and salt
according TO taste. Place over hot FIRE, al
low to come to boiling heat twice, and serve
in hot dishes.
When you want to fry oysters dry them in
a towel and dip them in freshly. beaten eggs
and cracker-dust. Have ready hot pan on
hot fire with one portion of butter to three
of sweet lard fry your oysters brown and
serve on hot dish. To broi oysters, pre-
pare them the same as for frying; place on
broiler over a slow fire until cooked, dip in
melted butter, and serve on hot dish. Pan
ned oysters take little trouble The oysters
should be freshly opened and placed in a
chatting dish or saucepan, with a very small
portion of their own liquor only, cooked
about the same length of time as a stew, and
served in hot deep dish with a small piece
of butter. II you want to roast oysters,
place them on hot fire in the shell, with th Q
deep side down. They should always be
served on the half she'll Some people like
escalloped oysters, and here is the way to
cook them Put your oysters in a deep dish
with a small portion of butter and no liquor
Season with salt and pepper, cover with roll
ed cracker, bake in hot oven, and serve in
hot dish. For an oyster omelet take twelve
large oysters six eggs one cup of milk, three
tablespoonfuls of butter, chopped parsley,
| salt and pepper Chop the oysters very fine,
and beat the yolks and whites separately, the
latter till they stand in heap. Put the three
tablespoonfuls of butter in frying pan and
heat while you are mixing the Omelet. First
stir the milk in a deep dish with the yolks and
seasoning, then add the chopped oysters,
beating them well az you proceed, pour in
the melted butter, and whip 10 the whites AZ
lightly as you can. Have the butter in the
pan az hot as possible, pour in your omele
batter, aud brown both sides This, wheI
properly put together, makes a delicious
breakfast omelet.

Prof. Caldwell of Cornell University some
time since made suggestive address on fer
tilizers before the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural society at Boston. In conclusion he
summarized his doctrine on the subject es
follows:
l. That II enough of the needed elements
of food of the gardeners or horticulturst's
crops cannot be obtained in stable manure or
other animal waste, it can be procured in the
trade in unlimited quantity and in every de-
gree of availability depending on different
grades of solubility, and in the greatest vari-
ETY. of mixtures, to suit any within or fancy of
crop or crop growers.
2. That profitable crop-growing can be
carried on for at least many years with these
commercial fertilizers alone.
B. That the most evident distinction be-
tween stable manure and commercial fertil-
izers, and the distinction upon which we
should therefore base an explanation of the
greater reliability of the former, is its large
proportion of vegetable matter, or humus-
forming material of which commercial fer
tilizers contain practically none.
T. That soils contain in a difficult soluble
condition, and therefore not easily fed upon
by the crop, all the needed elements of plant
food
3. That humus, by the decay it suffers IN
tue SOIL FURNISHES carbonlc ACID and other
solvent agents, and this carbonic acid ap-
pears to play an important part in the nour-
ishment of crops, by bringing this native in
soluble stock of plant food within their easy
reach.
6. That even if we add water oluble
plant food to the SOIL it becomes largely in.
soluble before the crop can feed upon OF
needs it therefore soluble plant food added
to the soil in commercial fertilizers also
needs the help of the humus finally for it,
solution.
7. The plant food, in most animal ant
vegetable residues used as manures, costs
much less than in commercial manure.
8. That in spite of the Disadvantages tina
under some conditions attend the use of com
mercial fertilizers, they are nevertheless
very important and necessary help in crop
| growing.
o, That in using these fertilizers the wis
est course appears to be to make ones owl
mixtures of the raw material, az we'll for Sc
curing better manure as for economy in tn
first cost.

Maple Sugar Making In she West.
Western sugar makers are way ahead Of US
In the use OF improved Implements But we
are coming to it and have got to- II we are
to hold up our row in the markets. N. ~
Homestead.
Who told the Homestead this We rather
think that the market for maple sugar will
not be broken just yet by western compeh-
ton. Maple sugar making is of little or no
account in most Of the western states. The
area having soil and climate adapted TO the
production Of maple sugar is limited to a
comparatively small section Of the country.
The extent of the maple forests in either
Michigan or Indiana is much greater than in
Vermont, yet neither Of these states makes,
on an average, one third as much maple sug-
ar as Vermont. DIR. II. A. Cutting, secretary
of the board of agriculture says that he
owned lot in the state Of Michigan on
which we're large number of fine sugar ma.
pies of large size and thrifty growth, such
trees as in this state would yield Eve pounds
Of sugar each and he caused the lot to be
fitted up for making sugar with all the im-
plements in use here, but could get only
about one. half pound of sugar to tree, and
that not Of the best quality. Dr. Cutting ia
perhaps as we'll informed in the science Of
maple sugar making as any man in the coun-
try, having made it one Of his special stud
ies During the last sugar season Mr.. Will
liam Frear in the employ of the chemical
division Of the department of agriculture,
spent a month at Lunenburg investigating
with Dr. Cutting the maple sugar industry,
and making analyses and finding the per cent.
of sugar In sap from different trees, or from
the same tree at different times, or tapped at
different heights, or on different Sides the
average of a large number of trees in the
same lot, and the average Of several lots, the
quantity and composition Of sugar ash, etc.
The results of these investigations are pub
lished in the report of Prof Wiley on the
sugar industry of the United States.
Vermont, the northern and western part OIL
New York and the corner of Ohio neares
the state of New York make three-fourths o.
all the maple sugar of the United States
Vermont alone makes more than a fourth o.
the whole, and from territory smaller thai
each of the parts of New York and Ohio il
which sugar is made. In each of the tire
states named the manufacture of maple sug
ar is brought to high degree Of develop
ment, but probably no state as whole SUI
passes Vermont in the care and attentio
given to this industry or in the quality of tn
product.

THE WRONG WAY TO GO UP STAIRS.

Going up stairs on ones hands and
knees is a method Of ascent not uncom-
monty seen among infants who are just
learning the mysteries and perplexities Of
ambulation, but fortunately it is seldom
that those Of mature years have to resort
to such means Of progress. Mrs. }. C..
Chapman, well known resident OF Man'-
field, Mass, says that she once tried it and
failed, and that others may be deferred
from a similar experience it is perhaps
worth while to give her experience. Mrs.
Chapman now walks as upright as any
one and gives this account of her at
tempt:
{" was perfectly helpless with an attack
of acute rheumatism, and was all doubled
up. | could not sit upright even long
enough to eat meal. tried once to get
IN stairs on my hands and knees, utiailed.
Alter taking everything recommended by
nv friends, and not getting the least benc-
fit from anything, ldespaired ofever getting
around again. had lost all hope Of being
cured when, like a CLEAN of light Athlo-
phoros was recommended to me bya friend
who had used ii with entire success. ]
took it and have never been troubled with
rheumatism since, now three years. ] can
cheerfully recommend Athlophoros to any
body suffering with rheumatism, for |
know from experience that it will make a
complete and permanent cure"
From j. A. Crane & Co., prominent
druggists of Orange, Mass, comes this
statement of a case that came under their
observation:
"Mr Shubel Briggs, of this place, las
bought Athlophoros of us. lie stated to
us to-day that his wife before taking it
could not move herself in bed, as she was
suffering from severe attack Of rheumn-
tism. After taking few doses of Athlo-
phorOs she could move easily, and before
two bottles were finished she had recovered
completely and has not been troubled
since. Mr. Briggs himself who was
troubled with stiffness in the joints, used
some of the Athlophoros and experienced
decided relief"
Charles II. Minchew, of Taunton, tells
this story of his wiie's cure, which was not
unlike that of Mrs. Briggs:
"My wife had been afflicted with rheu'
matism for some time, and | employed a
doctor who failed to do her any good

and concluded to get and try it. 1t worked
