they can decorate the walls with pictures

MIXED VS.. SPECIAL FARMING.

In regard to this subject think that no
special rule can be laid down that would
be applicable to all circumstances and
cases but, as Il general rule, think mix
ed farming is the best. | consider the
object of farming to be, after providing
for the immediate wants of the family, to
pursue that branch of farming which will
bring in the most profit and at the same
time keep the farm in the best state of
fertility. The following are some of my
reasons for favoring mixed farming: On
most farms there is more or less coarse
or swale grass. in both meadow and pas
ture, and there is usually in pastures
more or less brakes and bricrs; now, eX-
ccpt when this coarse grass, briers, ETC..
first start in the spring. cattle will hardly
touch them, while horses and colts will
forage in these swales quite contentedly,
and sheep will thrive on the brakes, bri-
ers and weeds that neither cattle or horses
would touch, 50 that IL pasture will carry
more mixed stock than it will of any one
kind; then, again, during foddering time
there is more or less of coarse fodder,
which like straw and poor hay, will,
with small ration of grain or roots,
keep young stock in good thriving con-
dition, that would not be just the feed
for cows in milk or breeding ewes; then
again, with the ups and downs of the
various kinds of produce, if one has some
of all the different kinds he is likely to
hit luck somewhere, on butter or cheese,
wool or mutton, pork beef or horses.
Again, if the farmer has sons and daugh-
tiers. as he should have, they will not
only take more delight in watching and
caring for all the young animals, the
colts, calves, lambs, pigs and chicks,
than they will with one kind only, and
their love for the farm life will be strong
er. They will also have a practical
of handling, rearing and train
ing these animals and their habits, also
the management of the dairy Cor. in

sugar and one cup of water. Bake slowly
two or three hours. They will be a "deep
red brown" and very nice.
SOUR MILK CHEESE.
Four quarts of sour milk, set on the
back of the stove till the whey separates ;
then pour into bag of cheese cloth.
Hang up the bag and let the whey drop
out; never squeeze it, as the cheese will
be tough if you do. Add to the curds a
cupful of sweet cream, Il tablespoonful of
butter, and one teaspoonful of salt. Mix
thoroughly, and form into balls. Handle
the balls carefully in shaping (much as
you handle a croquette) or they Will
break. This cheese is very nice eaten
with hot gingerbread, or hot apple pie

WHAT TO TEACH DAUGHTERS.

from tine CnlflcStOn l'lSlhllcH'
At social gathering some one pro-
posed this question; "What shall teach
my daughtcr?'' The following replies
were handed in:
Teach her that 100 cents make dollar.
Teach her to arrange the parlor and the
Library.
Teach her to say "No," and mean it, or
"Ies," and stick to it.
Teach her how to wear a calico dress,
and to wear it like a queen.
Teach her how to sew on buttons, darn
stockings, and mend gloves.
Teach her to dress for health and COM
fort as well as for appearance.
Teach her to cultivate flowers and to
keep the kitchen garden.
Teach her to make the neatest room in
the house.
Teach her to have nothing to do with
incorporate or dissolute young men.
Teach her that tight lacing is uncomely
as well as injurious to health.
Teach her to regard the morals and
habits, and not money, in selecting her
associates.
Teach her to observe the old rule: ga
place for everything, and everything in
its place.
Teach her that music. drawing, and
painting are real accomplishments in the
home, and are not to be neglected if
there be time and money for their use.
Teach her the important truism: "That
the more she lives within her income the
more she will save, and the further she
will get away from the poorhouse."
Teach her that good, steady, church
going mechanic, farmer, clerk, or teacher
without Il cent is worth more than forty
loafers or non-producers in broadcloth.
Teach her to embrace every opportu-
nifty for reading and to select such books
as will give her the most useful and prac-
teal information in order to make the
best progress in earlier as well as later
home and school life.

JNPOPULARlTY OF AGRlCULTU-
RAJ COLLEGES.

New York Tribune.
The professors in our various agricul-
|ural and industrial colleges recently
held a conference at Purdue University,
indiana, at which the important problems
b. technical education were discussed.
I he most serious question of all, how
yer. seemed to be the fundamental one :
How can we get any students Of agri-
ulture to educate:' In the admirably
luipped Illinois university the agricul-
rral department has had at times but
kvo or three students, and the same is
ne of Ohio. At Purdue itself there are
O overshadowing literary or profession
departments which are believed by
pme critics to smother and reprcss the
ldustrial branches when all are COM
ned in "A single university. And yet in
lis college, strictly one of agriculture
I'd mechanics. with 200 students on its
,lls, only two members of the sophie
ore class and nine freshmen are taking
e agricultural course. Wherever stu
nts have any latitude of choice between
course including agriculture, horticul-
re, and forestry on one hand, and sci
ce. mechanics and art on the other,
ey largely select the latter. But the
bung men are not alone in their aversion
the systematic study of agriculture.
ne feeling seems to be shared by their
rents. Farmers send their sons to the
nd grant colleges and express their pref
.nce for the course that omits agricul-
re. One reason for this is that many
them have no faith that any instruc-
n can be given in a college that will
direct and special help to agricultu-
practice. Others consider the reward
agriculture so. slender that they coun-
their children to abandon the farm
enter one of the learned professions
adopt some more lucrative business.
young man shuns the farm because
is taught that it offers no fair field for
activity of trained mind as well as
,ause it offers no opportunities for
ckly acquired wealth. He avoids the
-icultural course in the college because
feels that it will give no vigorous eX-
Use to his intellect. A stigma thus
: upon agricultural study as well as
n agricultural practice.

ONE WAY WITH RATS.

The wariness of the rat is proverbial
but western farm journal says they
may be lured to destruction by the fol-
lowing treatments Give them a good
meal every day. Do not put any poison
in the food, but simply prepare dish for
them daily. as a free lunch, composed of
corn meal moistened with milk, into
which an egg and little salt (to season.
has been beaten. At first they may not
touch it, but keep it before them, making
it fresh daily. They will soon try little
and if not injurious their suspicious will
be allayed. In a week or ten days they
will expect it, and every rat on the place
will be at the appointed spot for the treat
Give plenty of it so as to induce all the
rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do
not be in Il hurry to poison them. If
they eat all the food, give them a larger
quantity next time. As soon as they
have thrown off all suspicious go to your
druggist, get some phosphorus paste or
other rat poison, mix it with the food,
and be sure you give them enough and
something to spare, so as to induce all
to eat. They will either be killed or be
come so suspicious of all other food as to
leave, and not Il rat will remain. Hence
to destroy rats, take plenty of time, gain
their confidence, and finish them when
they least expect it.

SOME OLD-FASHIONEO DISHES

Ever since my marriage | have heard
regularly once week, ''Iou ought to
eat some of Mothers baked beans"
have interviewed the lady in question
several times, but haye met with little
information. Like the celebrated artist
who was asked how he mixed his paints,
and answered, "With brains" mother
always gave her receipt with, "iou use
your judgement" | determined to find
out just how, so spent week at her
house and watched the whole process.
This is the result:
MOTHERS BAKED BEANS.
Take one quart white pea beans; pick
them over carefully, and soak them over
night. In the morning, put them on the
back of the stove in an iron kettle, and
cover them with boiling water. After
they have parboiled for half an hour, take
up Il spoonful and blow on them; if the
skin separates easily they are done. Put
them in colander, and pour Il dipperful
of cold water through them. Take deep
earthern bean pot holding two quarts
put in some of the beans, then half Il
pound of salt pOrk,-'a streak of fat and
IA streak of lean" (the pork must be wash
ed with warm water. and gashed across
the top)-then fill up with beans. Take
one teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoon
full of mustard, and two teaspoonfuls of
mOlasses dissolve in hot water and pour
over the beans; then fill the pot with hot
water. They must bake six hours, and
as much longer as you please. When
ever the water cooks away, fill the pot
again, until nearly done, then let the
water cook away.
will also give you mothers receipt
for Indian Pudding.
MOTHERS INDIAN PUDDING.
Take two quarts of milk, one cupful of
yellow Indian meal, and half IA cupful OF
mOlasses. Take out one cupful of milk
and put the rest of the ingredients on ia
boil. As soon as they have thickened,
put in deep, earthen pudding dish,
which has been well buttered; pour in
the cupful of cold milk. Bake slowly five
hours.
An old receipt for apple sauce is also
delicious.
