Celery should be urged on to rapid
growth by frequent cultivation, keeping
it entirely free from weeds, and should
the month be dry, by irrigation. Itcah

parched, even if but for q short time.
The more clothes a man wears, the
more bedClOthes he uses, the closer he
keeps his chamber, the closer he con-
fines himself to his house, the more
rapidly will he take cold, as the more a
tbriftless youth is helped the less able
does he become to help himself.
Muddy barnyards will cause
the milk to fall off. When COWS are
compelled to stand knee-deep in mud
With their bodies plastered over with it,
dirt will find its way into the pail, while
additional food will be necessary to
supply that loss from cold and exposure.
Take two gallons of good cider and
thoroughly mix it with two pounds Of
new honey, pour into your cask or
bottle and let it stand from four to six
months, when you will have vinegar so
strong that it cannot be used at table
without diluting with water. 1t is the
best ever procured for picking pur-
poses.
Rice and apple pudding is both nutri
tiOus and economical. Boil two large
spoonfuIs of Well-washed rice in pint
of new milk; slice into it while boiling
two or three large apples, pared, and q
few currants or rasins. Simmer slowly
until the rice is very soft, then add
one Well-beaten egg. Stir for few
minutes, and serve hot with cream and
sugar.
I cannot too strongly commend the
practice of setting out pot-grown straw
berry plants. Experience is a safe
teacher, and experience proves she
practice to be safe and in most instances
exec edingly profitable. A potted plant
will make sufficient runners (if desired),
much lower than the cheapest layers set
in spring.
For a permanent pasture use ont
bushel each to the acre Of Kentucky
blue and orchard grass, with eight
pounds of medium red clover. Ken
lucky blue grass makes a very superior
hay, of which both cattle and horses
are extremely fond. The yield is, how
ever, light as compared with timothy
and clover. After having been moWE
for hay it furnishes the richest of 1all
and winter pasture.
Every farmer whether he lives in the
neighborhood of a city that has a good
market, or on the frontier where there
are no home markets at all. should
raise plenty of small fruit. In either
event there is a good deal of money in
it. The frontier farmer will have a
luxury for his family which is better
than dollars and cents. The farmer
near the city should always reserve the
lions share for his own household when
selling fruit. The fall is a good season
to plant several kinds of small fruit
trees.
The best cure for chicken roup is
known as "Wheeler's cure" It is to
take brOH10-chlOrdEum and dilute it one
half with water. Inject two or three
drops in each nostril, once day. Give
each fowl, as drink, once a day, two
grains of bromide Of potassium and one
grain Of quinine in tablespoonful OF
milk, or warm water, forcing it if neces-
sary. Keep the sick fowls in q warm.
dry place. where there are no cracks in
the walls to let in drauehts, and, above
all, avoid top ventilation, which allows
the cold air TO blow dolon on the fowls.
Dry yeast cakes are made as follows
Put into q tin pan a handful of hops
with q quart of water, let boil a few
minutes, then drain as much of the
water en- TO pint of -four as will take to
make thick mixture, stir and let cool.
When luke-Warm stir in q teaspoonful
of yeast and let rise. When it has
risen, and been stirred down four or
five times, then stir in corn meal enough
to make it stiff so it will crumb up in
Jumps like half walnuts. Spread on a
Goth in the air to dry. Put in q box
and keep where it will not freeze.
At the later stage of CHAMBERS the dis
charge from the nostrils becomes sticky
and thick. and has fetid odor which is
unbearaole. This is caused by the
decay of the bones of the head. Other
wise the animal appears in good health
and the only Indicate of disease
besides this discharge from the nostrils
is hardness of t he glands under the
jaws. with liyid ulcers on the inner
membranes of the nostrils. If these
symptoms are found the animal should
be destroyed, as the attendant or
owner might take the infection and die
sure and horrible death.
Tomatoes may be dried and kept for
use the whole year around. The toma-
toes are allowed to remain on the vines
until they are quite ripe, when they are
picked and pressed into bags made of
coarse cloth, which allows the pulp to
pass through, while the seeds and skins
are retained. The puls is then spread
out thinly on cloth on boards or shallow
dishes and exposed to the sun to dry.
When 1t has become quite dry it is
broken up fine or ground and put into
boxes or bags and sent to market. It Is
largely used in soups, but much of il is
employed as we do tomatoes preserved
in tins Or other cans. When used if is
soaked for a few hours in Ycrm water
and then cooked in the ordinary man
ner.
An orchard may be kept in good con
ditiOn with q much less amount OF
fertilizer if the crop of grass be left to
decay on the land; when this is done. as
soon as the grass is full grown a heavy
roller should be run over it: this leaves
q clean, soft surface for the fruit roE1rop
on; but in most localities there Is too
much risk of fire to leave the grass tn
