Now that the raspberrles and black
berries are gathered, cut away the old
canes.
Put a buttered paper. butter side
down. over jellies TO keep them from
moulding.
Sour milk may be sweetened and
made fit for use ia cakes by mixing in a
little soda.
Sow pansy seed at once if you wish to
obtain early flowers next spring. Buy
the seed for quality, not cheapness.
Encourage the poultry to forage in
srain and nav fields after harvest. Give
a light breakfast and nothing TIKI eve
ming,
Mix a little powdered charcoal with
the chickens soft feed, and it will assist
digestion and prevent disease. 1t is a
purifier.
It is said thatif little parsley dipped
in vinegar is eaten after On59ns, the
breath will scarcely disclose the Odor of
the onions.
Cut corn from theeob and mix it-not
too thinly-With milk. Add two or
three beaten eggs; pepper and salt to
taste. Bake half hour. To be served
rs a vegetable.
Cucumbers for pickles should be
watched every day, and all those Of
suitable size be gathered. Cut away all
that have grown too large, unless
wanted tor seed.
Green rye is growing in favor among
dairymen as a forage crop for milch
COWS. 1t not only causes an increase in
the quantity of'milk, but the quality of
cream and butter is said to be improved
by its use.
The hen product will fall off now,
and all surplus fowls shouldibe fattened
and dressed nicely for table use, either
at home or on the tables of those who
are willing to pay for them This will
be the most profitable way to dispose of
the hens.
Egg sauce to eat with buildings or
eggs whipped until
they are light, stir in cup Of sugar and
pour on 8 Jablespoonfuls of boiling
milk, stir the egg and sugar all the
time. Flavor with any extract that
suits the taste.
Early blowing with frequent surface
working at short intervals, and keeping
the mauures near the surface, is the
best prepars ton for wheat. The perfect
condition of the seed bed is one of the
most essential features, and is easily
enough accomplished with the best
modern implements
The great advantage of the creamery
system is that it cools the milk quickly
by means of ice, and thus gets the
greatest amount of cream. 1t Is very
important that the milk be put in the
creamery while yet warm from the COW.
In large dairy every cows milk should
be carried away by a boy or man
employed for this purpose.
The idea that sheep at pasture will
i've and thrive without water to drink
is serious and costly delusion to many
farmers. By eating when dew is on the
grass they can get along with little
water, but that little they require a
absolutely as any other stock, or poor
wool and poor condition will tell the
story of their deprivation.
Select firm, ripe tomatoes, pare and
slice them thick; season with pepper
and salt and sprinkle salt over each
piece. Place them in q skillet that has
hot lard or butter in it, and fry on both
sides q light brown. When done make
a gravy of / cup cream, l teaspoon
butter, and l tablespoonful of -four TO
thicken it. Let this heat through and
pour over the tomatoes and serve.
At seasons COWS in full flow of milk
will need careful looking after lest their
bags became caked and hard. Rubbing
with lard will relieve the soreness and
will almost Immediately be followed by
an lncrea of milk, as nothing dries up
a COW faster than sore and feverisb
condition of the bag. In some cases so
much milk may be given as to require
milking three times q day, morning
noon and night.
It has been q matter of extensive
belief in France that the drinking of
water in considerable quantities has
tendency to reduce obesity, by Increas-
ing the activity of oxidations in the
system, aud favoring the burning away
OF accumulated fat The error of this
idea has just been shown by DR.. DebOYe,
who has proven that the quantity of
water taken has no influence on nutri-
ton o. body weight so long as the solid
diet remains unchanged.
No one can now successfully dispute
that well bred animals ara the more
profitaole; hence the small farmer is
just the one that cannot afford to rear
any other kind. In many WAYS he
must compete at disadvantage with
the large farmer; and If he does ID t
raise as good stock, at least, as they, he
can hardly make any money. He can
not keep many animals, hence can give
each more of his personal attention
tlan the large farmer can; and the
puTe-bred animals are the most grateful
for such attention-anotherr reason WHY
the small farmers should rear onIv
such Err.
1t should be the aim Of every farmer
to keep his land in good healthy condi-
ton. Iii much easier to keep land IN
than 1t is to bring it up when once it has
run down. The loss of time as well as
the loss of crop are to be taken into con
sideration. Outside Of the application
of barnysrd manure. there is nothing
equal To clover, plowad in as q green
crop, occasionally. We know that il
looks 10 some as an extravagant plan
30 plow in a crop of clover, but one
trial viii satisfy the farmer that it will
pay him a hundred fold, and it will
require no argument thereafter to omen
his eyes 10 its value.
