Keep breadth q Uncovered box, and
it will keep fresh and good longer than
if exposed to the air.
After smoked beef or hams are cut
hang them, in a coarse linen bag, in q
cellar, and tie up to keep out flies.
Cheese should be kept in a dry, cool
place, and after it is cut, wrap in a
thin cloth, and keepit in tight tin box.
Raisins should not be bought in large
quantities, as they are injured by time.
1t is best to buy the small boxes.
Soda should be bought IL small
quantities, then powdered, sifted and
kept tightly corked in a large mOuthed
glass bottle.
The easiest way OF keeping hams
perfectly is to wrap them in paper and
pack them in boxes or barrels with
ashes The ashes must fill all the in
terstiCes, but must not touch the hams,
as they absorb fat.
This is said to be perfectly reliable
recipe for keeping butter; To three
gallons Of brine, strong enough to bear
an egg, add quarter OF pound Of
nice white sugar and one tablespoon

when cold strain carefully. Make
your butter into rolls, and wrap each
separately in a clean white muslin

and pour over it the brine untilit is sub

Second-Enlarge your barns, house

Third-Study what your soil and
the crops you grow need, and then, as
best you can, feed so as to make
special manures to meet the demand
Fourth r Thorough acquaintance
with processes of plant growth is nee
essary for judicious manuring. Applv
fertilizers within reach OF plant root
lets, be 1t their nature to run near the
surface or down deep into the ground.
fltth-The time to apply manures
must be governed by the method Of
preserving it, to a considerable ex-
tent, but be sure and avoid putting il
oil TILL a busy season OF tie year,
when teams and hands are needed in
cultivating and harvesting crops.
Sixth-Depend mainly on the barn

not only supplant plant food, but
have mechanical or chemical action

Seventh-The problem of farming

81 VIII Sell NV Farm. :"

This is the conclusion OF too many
comfortable farmers. 1t is true, there
are many trials and tribulations which
COM pei men, reluctantly, to come to
this conclusion. Farm hands are un-
reliable, wasteful, and uncertain.
They do so many things wrong, and
earn. They are not there when most
needed. With large herds for the size
Of the farm, they require attention,
and a large amount Of work to take
care of them. The farm hands think
if they leave Saturday night and re-
turn Monday morning they are all
right. This throws upon the owner
the entire care OF the stock, including
milking on Sundays, making it to him
the hardest days work Of the week.
And after various trials from bad
hands, and some other backsets, he
concludes to sell, and move to the
town or city, and invest his money in
some other business.
Let us look at this conclusion. Sup
pose the farm and stock wilEsel for
$4,000. He takes $1,000 to buy
himself only q tolerably comfortable
house in town to live in. Probably
the carriage used on the farm and the
furniture used in the farm house, will
not be in style to suit the family in
their new relation. In fitting up in
various ways it may take 50, 900
more. This leaves q capital OF 49,,
600. This must heinvested in protita
BILE business, or loaned to raise the
means to live on.
To 90 into business new to him four
times out OF FIVE, it results in failure
and the loss OF all his surplus money.
Hetinds in all branches of trade, sharp,
experienced men, who have made it a
life study, and they resort to all OF the
tricks and advantages of trade, of
which he is ignorant. Do not, we beg
| OF you, 90 into business in that way
| The safest investment would being gov

ties TO invest. And it would be a fair
calculation to estimate that $4,000
out OF l3,O00could probably be con-
stantly drawing interest. This at 7
/ per cent. would yield for the support
OF the family 800 per year. A man
who has always lived on a farm might
suppose he could live on that sum in
the city. But we assure him with that
sum to live on he would constantly

Poultry,

Eggs for Matching should be gathered
soon after they are laid, though eggs
will bear considerablecOldw without de-
stroying the germ Err on the side of
safety if at all. The first hen may be
set to hatch early in March. Give her
nine or ten eggs only. Feed sitting
hens with whole corn. Put sulphur or
carbolic insect powder, or both, INTO
the dust box. See that the nests are
kept clean. This will keep the eggs
from being soiled and add to their
salable qualities.
Eggs for Matching should be placed
in q nest slightly cOncave, to keep the
eggs from rolling out, made upon the
earth, If possible, by a slight sprinklin
OF hay or straw well broken and rem
dered vermin proof by liberal supply
OF some insecticide like sulphur, to-
baccO or insect powder. The nest
should be in a retired place, removed
from the possible visits of other hens.
On the twenty-frst day, when the
expectant breeder is Saluted with a
piping sound, he will not disturb the
hen for tWenty-fOur hours afterward,
but will allow her to finish Matching
and drying the chicks. They need no
food; the yoIk which they lave drawn
into their body will be ample nourish-
ment for at least twenty-four hours
At the end of that time the hen and
her chicks should be removed to the
COOP intended Tor their occupation,
and the nest Of the sitter DESTROYED.
Many take the precautiOn to dust the
hen with insect powder and to grease
the heads OF the chickens with q little
pure lard to guard against lice.
A successful system of feeding for the
first week is to provide hard boiled
eggs, chopped very fine, and mixed
with stale bread crumbs. After this,
while furnishing an egg now and then
for variety, rely mainly upon oat
meal, dry cracked corn and whole
wheat. Dry feed is better than mixed
feed in that corn-meal dough will not
nourisk them, but on dry feed the per
Centage OF losses is much smaller.
Cooked meat cut into very small
piece and fed twice a week will befound
g valuable addition to their diet.
Ground oyster shells and granulated
bone should be kept before them con-
SOdILiJ L ttlC "dGSI, VI "tL6i Will
a little tincture of iron in it, should al
ways be kept before them, and should
be frequently renewed to insure its
freshness.
For the first month, chicks should
be fed about five times a day. Alter
that three times will befound sufficient.
The coop and it's surroundings should
be kept scrupulously clean. Without
it, no system can secure the best re
suits.
The greatest success is generally Sc.
cured by combining the hen, but allow
ing the chicks to run out and pick the
green grass after the dew is off. They
should never be allowed to run in the
wet grass. II one cannot permit the
chicks to get at the grass, some sub
stitute should be supplied. Finely
chopped lettuce, cabbage, etc, with an
occasional onion, will be beneficial.

According to our consul at Nurem-
berg, Bavaria, the result OF this years
hop crop on the continent has not
b en- satisfactory. While the quantity
is in excess of last year, the quality
is greatly inferior. The yield OF first
class hops is very limited, and it is
said that a considerableportion OF the
remainder is unfit for use This CON
ditiOn is attributable to the uninter-
rupted rainy weather which followed
the harvesting Of the early, and con-
tinued up to the plucking of the late
varieties England isreported to have
experienced even worse results. The
surplus for Germany this year, as
based on quantity. Is estimated at
33, 500 pounds; but when quality is
taken into account, it IS believed that
she will not have more than enough
first-class hops to meet her own re-
quirements. The only hop-producing
country, it appears, that can show a
large return of good quality is the
United States, and as our brands are
favorites in the English market, we
this year became a formidable COM
petitor of Germany. But this cOndi-
ton may not happen again for several
years, and American hop growers
should not overlook this fact and thus
be misled. The beliefs growing on the
continent that hop cultureis overdone,
Bavaria alone in the last three years
having increased her acreage by II, 900
acres, and the price has reached q
point which is not sufficiently re-
munerative to pay the cost OF produc-
ton.
