Domestic Recipes.

CHOCOLATE CAKE.-Three and one
half cups of flour, two cups of sugar,
one cup of butter, yolks of three eggs
and whites of two, one cup of milk,
one and one-half tea-spoonfuls of bak-
ing-powder sifted into the flour. This is
sufficient to fill four ordinary jelly-cake
tins-as large around as municipalities
and will make one four-layer cake.
Chocolate filling and icing for the cake
Whites of three eggs, one and one-half
cups of sugar, four tablespoonful of
grated chocolate, one tea-spoonful of
lemon extract; beat well together and
set in kettle of boiling water about
twenty minutes, stirring occasionally.
Frost with this mixture before the cake
cools. SPRING CHICKEN.
HUCKLEBERRY FRITTERS.-To one
cupful of sugar (half the sugar to be
granulated and half of powdered) al
low two tablespoonful of butter, the
yolks OF two eggs, one heaping cupful
of flour, with two tablespoonful of
corn-starch stirred in it, one heaping
/ tea-spoonful of baking-powder, pinch
of salt sifted into the flour, and
cup of water. Flour the berries and
stir into the batter. Be sure you do
not put more than a spoonful of batter
on the griddle, as these cakes are de-
signed to be small. When Drowned on
both sides, sift sugar plentifully over
them, adding a little lemon-peel grated.
HUCKLEBERRY TARTs.- Roll out
some rather rich pie-paste and cut into
squares about four inches large. Wet
the corners of the paste and fold them
together firmly, filling the shells with
huckleberries, adding sugar and a little
flour. Bake them, and on taking them
from the oven spread large quantity
of rather tart apple-sauce over the
berries, and spoonful of beaten white
of egg, sweetened, on the top of all.

How We Served the Crows.

We soaked the seed-corn twenty-four
hours in warm water. We then put it
in quite warm water, just enough to
cover the corn, and tar enough to make
a very thin coating over the corn; when
well stirred, drained off the water and
stirred in plaster to make it convenient
to handle; sowed in the drill, accord
ing to your method of planting, and as
the light slanting-tooth harrow was not
at hand we used the drag crosswise of the
burrows to cover. 1t worked to charm,
and the corn came up nicely. In the
headland where the boys planted with
out the tar the crows pulled up almost
every spear; and, as the boys made no
mark between the kinds of corn, a crow
would sometimes get over and sample
the tarred corn-nothing more. In
another piece we tarred all the seed
and did not lose half dozen spears,
and we did not have any scarecrows up.
l think by another year l shall get the
boys courage up so they will harrow
the corn. j. V. r. KENT, Calais, vt.

English Judgment on Ensilage.

The following is summary of re-
port by a committee of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society of England on the ques-
ton Of ensilage;
g We are of the opinion that the
great question of satisfactorily ensiling
green crops has received ample con-
firmation. 1t has been proved to us,
incontestably, that its success has been
manifested in every district. We have
seen silos of brick, of stone and of
wood; we have seen old barns and
other buildings converted into silos; we
have seen them sunk into the ground
and built on the level; we have seen
them containing twenty tons and we
have inspected others capable of con-
tanning seven hundred tons; we have
found silos constructed at little over
600, and others at e400; we have found
them filed with all sorts of green crops
and we have found some sour and some
sweet-the latter in by far the greater
proportion; we have seen them weighted
with bricks, with stones, with states
with sand, with earth, and also with in.
genious mechanical contrivances, we
have inspected some chaffed, and in
others the fodder spread out and put in

whole. In all cases the practice was sue
cessful, and in every instance cattle of
all descriptions did well on. the silage,
and in many instances the opinion was
conclusive that decidedly more stock
could be carried per acre with silage
than with hay"
The report winds up with the fol-
lowing verdict " The chief advantages
of Safeguarding against hay-making is
its comparative independence of the
weather; that the fodder is handled
while green without any risk of the
tender and nutritious leaves being lost
on the ground, as in hay-making; that
the resulting silage is succulent and
palatable, and that on purely grazing
farms it is now possible to obtain a
portion of the grass crop for winter in
such a state as to equal the effect of
summer-fed grass for the purpose of
the dairy"
1t will be seen that Gas in England it
is always catching weather') the
English farmers have taken to ensiling
their grass Our Indian corn will not
make a crop in that country.

Economic Feeding of Stock.

The peculiar character of our home
raised fodder articles is apt to conceal
their special deficiency for the various
purposes they are used for in general
farm management. They all contain
the three essential food constituents,
yet in widely varying proportions, and
they ought, therefore, to be supple
mented in different directions to secure
their full economical value. To resort
to more or less of the same fodder arti
Gle to meet the special wants, may meet
the case as far as an efficient support of
the animal is concerned, yet it can only
in exceptional cases be considered good
economy.
To satisfy the craving of the stomach
and to feed a nutritious food are both
requirements of healthy animal diet,
which, each in its own way, may be
complied with. The commercial fod-
der substances, as oil cakes, meal refuse,
brans, and our steadily increasing sup
ply of refuse material from breweries,
starch works, glucose factories, ETC.,
are admirably fitted to supplement our
farm resources for stock feeding; they
can serve, in regard to animal growth
and support, in similar way as the
commercial fertilizer in the growth of
farm crops by supplementing our home
manurial resources. To feed an eX-
cess of fodder materials, as roots, pota-
toes, ETC., which contain a large pro-
portion of nOn-nitrOgenOuS substances,
as starch, sugar, digestible cellular sub
stance, ETC., means direct waste, for
they are elected by the animal, and dc
not AVIAN m at ario1lv hanafit the nopnrp
heap In case of an excessive con-
sumption of nitrOgenOuS constituents, a
part of the expense is saved in an
increased value of the manure, yet
scarcely enough to recommend that prac.
tice beyond merely exceptional cases
The aim, therefore, of an economical
stock-feeding must be to compound oul
various fodder materials in such man
ner that the largest quantity of each OF
the three groups of fodder substances
which the animal is capable of assim
Hating should be contained in its daily
diet, to meet the purpose for which 1t il

Two Opinions.

The Ne,o England Homestead says,
speaking of recent changes, that
brighter days are in store for the
Massachusetts Agricultural College. 1t
possesses the confidence of the public,
a complete equipment of buildings, a
goodly array of students, a president
who will put new life into the institu-
ton, and, above all, professor of ag-
riculture who will add great strength
to the faculty, and, with the aid of the
new professor of natural history and
veterinary science, will make the col
lege what it ought to be. No other in
stitution offers such advantages to the
young man who wants good practical
agricultural or industrial education
and nowhere else can he obtain it at
such small expense. 1t is good that we
have such college in our midst"
But the Boston Globe, on the other
hand, "would like to inquire what
good excuse can the Massachusetts
Agricultural College, as at present con-
Quoted, give for its existence? Why
not consolidate it with some good col.
lege, where better results could be Sc
cured for half the money!" The writer
in the Globe has perhaps been recently
attending the graduating exercises of
our 50 consolidated " Vermont Agricul-
tural College.

Breeding Cows.

Colonel F. d. Curtis has some " cow
talk" in the Rural Ne,o YORKER, in
which he says:
June and July are the months when
most of the COWS are bred for the next
year, SO that the calves come in March
and April. | have had early calves for
years, and think it is better to have
them in April and May. Breeders gen
orally allow COWS to be stinted the first
time they are in heat after the calf is
born. There are some good reasons
for this, one of which is that the
calves are soon weaned; but there is a
loss in the vigor of the mother, unless
it is made up by liberal feeding, which
is usually the case. This very liberal
feeding is a damage, for no animal does
well on a long-continued stimulating
diet. If for a breeder, COW should
have a rest; and if for the dairy, she
requires time for recuperation, but
not the usual period of four or five
months allotted to native cows"

each kind of animal require to secure
the best results?
More than twenty-five years have
passed by since these questions have
engaged the attention of skillful expert
mentors. Sufficient valuable informa-
ton has been secured in the course of
time to encourage the use of the adopted
methods OF observation, and to impart
to many of the conclusions arrived at a
lust claim for serious consideration
on the part of practical agriculturists.
The fact that much needs still to be
learned to meet the reasonable eXpec-
tations of those engaged in the develop
ment of more economical system of
feeding farm live stock cannot be con-
sidered valid reason why we should
not make intelligent use of what we
have learned.-Mdy Bulletin, Mdsso-

How Plant Roots Travel
for Manure.

An exchange in an article on this sub
iect carries the idea (Which we often
find elsewhere in our reading) that
plants scent manure at distance, and
send out their roots after it. This is
quite too sentimental a view of the
subject-no pun being intended. Plant
roots grow at first equally in all direc-
tions from the main stem, so far as they
are not hindered by mechanical obstruc-
tions. But if plant-food is not equally
distributed in the soil, those roots will
take ON the greatest development and
grow the fastest which strike into the
richest spots. The result will be, in
the case of a tree, that if on one side
the land is richer than on the others
that side of the tree will grow the fast
est, both above and below ground. A
