HOME SUGGESTIONS.

| The grained woodwork should be wash
ed with cold tea.
Silyerware will keep as good as new if
tied up in a paper bag.
| Unslaked lime, near meat. preserves it
by keeping the air dry.
Sleeping the wicks for tallow candles in
coal oil brightens the light.
Make your table look pretty; the food
tastes better if the surroundings please
the eye.
Old newspapers wrapped around the
ends of each slat will silence the creaking
bedStead
A small amount of salicylic acid added
to cold cream will save it from becoming
rancid.
Glaze the bottom crust of fruit Or
pumpkin pies with the white of an egg
and they will not get sloggy.
crumb cloth is an article that cannot
be dispensed with in the dining room if
you should set your table over nice car
pet.
Flower pot stains can be removed
from the window sills by rubbing with
fine wood ashes. Afterward rinse with cold
water.
1t is better not to stir the rice while it
is cooking as the flavor is best retained
by keeping the grains as whole as pos
sible.
If the white of one egg is used instead
of the water for mixing the mustard,
the plaster will not blister the most deli
cate skin.
Smoky places on the kitchen ceiling
should be covered with gum shellac; then
they will not strike through the new coat
of kalsomine.
When putting down new carpet be
sure and save the rawlings. They will
furnish just the darning thread you will
need when your carpet 'begins to 60"
A good rule for baking potatoes is to
wash and boil them in the usual way till
nearly done and then finish by baking.
They are whittier and more meaIy than
when baked the old way.
Before beginning to iron sprinkle the
table plentifully with water and lay on
the ironing blanket. This will hold it
firmly in place and prevent all wrinkling
and showing about. Never try to iron
with blaket having wrinkles Or punches.
To keep ice in the sick room, cut a
piece of flannel about nine inches square,
and secure it by ligature about the mouth
of an ordinary tumbler so as to leave the
cup shape depression of flannel within
the tumbler to about half it's dedth. In
the flannel cupso formed pieces of ice
mry be preserved many hours, all the
longer if piece of flannel from four to
five inches square be used as loose Gov
er to the ice cup. Cheap flannel is COM
paratively open meshes is preferable, as
the water easily drains through it and the
ice is kept dry.

hen 30 Plant Celery.
Prairie Farmer.

Celery, for general crop and for winter,
is usually planted after the first crop of
cabbages, peas and other early vegetables
comes off. If the early crop can be clear
ed off soon enough to plant, then the fol
iage of the growing crop is thined out be-
tween the rows and the young celery plants
at once set out. Some regard the partial
shade as advantageous to the young plants
the early crop being ready for removal
long before the celery makes much growth
Before setting the celery it is we'll to strip
off half the foliage, otherwise in very hot
suns the evaporation from the leaves is so
much greater than the mutilatod roots can
pump up to supply, that there is danger
of loss. If the leaf surface is reduced no
bad effects from transplanting need fol-
low.
Those who have market for early eel
cry, or like it for home use out of its or
binary season, may set out the plants as
soon as large enough. Thus a crop is
sometimes ready for use by the time the
late planting needs to be done. August
is soon enough for the latest planting.
Celery will not grow on dry soils in very
hot weather, without artificial watering. 1t
delights in cool September and October
to grow freely.

4 Plea For Small Farms.

The Philadelphia Record remarks that
the general desires to cultivate as much
land as possible has prevented the
thorough tillage of the soil in many re-
spects, but the labor usually bestowed on
large fields would be remunerative if ap-
piled to similar tracts. It often happens
that in the attempt to work over large
surface of the blowing, narrowing and
seeding are not performed in a manner
to secure the best results in termination
and growth. 1t is known that a larger
amount of produce can be raised on a
garden plot, in proportion to space, than
in the fields, which is not due so much to
the rich soil of the garden as to excellent
cultivation. The seed-bed of a garden is
made as fine as possible, the manure used
is well decomposed, and the grass and
weeds are kept down from the start.
The same attention that is given to the
garden may be applied to the fields, but
more labor viii of course be required. 1t
Is in the proper use of labor mot land
that farmers derive their profits. They
value their fields as. the source from
whence comes the wealth, when in reality
the soil should be considered, as only the
receptacle of that which is to be changed
IN character and rendered marketable. It
Is by labor that the soil is made to yield
generous crops, but that labor may be
misplaced or wasted. 4 farmer NAV work
1ndustrlously to secure a crop from
twenty acres planted in corn. though a
larger yield may be secured on ten
acres with the aid of fertilizers and the
same labor that was used on the twenty.
The larger the yield on any given space
the lower the cost proportionately of the
crop. crop cannot be valued accord
ing to the space it occupied, but in pro-
portion to the cost of production, and
the first item to be considered is the rem
tai or interest on the value of the land.
1t is contended that sometimes circum
stances prevent the restriction of the la
Dor to small fields, as the yield would he
insufficient with some crops, but the aim
in such cases should be to occupy the
ground with those crops which permit of
thorough cultivation, as the bestowal of
the labor, if done intelligently, is equiva-

to the nourishing value of the oat the

speak for themselves, but the following
will be of interest. Prof. Forbes, of Edin-

Dairy Pencilings.

An English exchange says a milkman
''at Deptford used to adulterate the milk
he sold to the extent of so per cent; by
and-by he came down to 80 per cent, and
he has now arrived at % per cent. Yet
an obdurate magistrate has just fined
him So. It is to be hoped that this
will not arrest the milkman in the course
of improvement upon which he has en-
tered"
A correspondent of the Boston Herald
gives brief description of Queen Vic
toria's farm, as planned by Prince Albert.
1t will be seen that the Queen has no no
ton of eating bogus butter She has but
ter from her own dairy sent to her where
ever she goes. Here is what the CORES
pondent says about the dairy:
Sin the royal dairy were added proofs
of the Queens great love for her royal
husband. He it was who designed the
beautiful tiled building. Marble medal
lions of the twO-the Queen and her con-
sOrt-are observed as we enter. The cool
ing room is filled with the earthen cans of
milk set to cream. The walls are softly
tiled, telling the story of the four seasons
in their successive divisions. The win
dOws are double ones, the inside windows
being of cOlored glass, showing the red
and white roses - houses of York and of
Lancaster - the thistle Of Scotland, and
the shamrock of Ireland, with butter cups
and other blossoms. The dairy mistress
is a wholesome, cleanly-lOoking Scotch
woman. The pans of milk, the rolls of
butter, and the restfulnesS of the room
are all refreshing to the weary tourist to
even gaze upon. We learn that wherever
her Majesty happens to be she has her
own butter sent to her for her private
table use. After the cooling room and
the churning room, we stray down to the
COWS. These are the choicest breeds
Jerseys, Guernseys, Attorneys, and also
the big Lancashire cows"
The 0airyman who buys big COW, Civ
ing little mess of milk, for the sake of
having her heavy weight as a basis for
beef at the termination of her usefulness,
is like a manufacturer who buys a big
steam engine for doing a little work,
for the sake of having heavy weight of
old iron to sell when the engine is done
with. The waste of food for keeping the
excessive weight of the big COW warm
and the waste of steam in keeping hot
the needless iron in the big engine are
very analogous, and there is a striking
similarity between the old iron in a worn,
out engine and the beef in a WORKOUT
COW.

Why Grain is Cheap.
Prairie Farmer.

The extraordinary and unlocked fO1
decline in exports of grain during the
last eight months explains why prices re-
main low, despite the fact that wheat Sin
sight, that is, in all markets, elevators
and in transportation east of the Rocky
mountains fallen materially below
the stock at this time last year. The ex-
ports from the United States and Canada
from September 1, 1885. to May 1, 1886,
were: Flour, 5,424 ,587 barrels; wheat, 80,
967, 345 bushels; corn, AZ, 720,668 bushels
In the same period last year: Flour, 7,O18,-
55S barrels; wheat, 55,78O,074 bushels;
corn, 36,758, 361 bushels. This shows a
better appreciation abroad of our corn,
the exports exceeding those of last year
by about six million bushels. Great
Britain aod Ireland took 28,O00,O00 of the
100000 bushels this year. Reckoning
the barrel of flour as four and half
bushels of wheat, the eight months ex-
ports Of wheat this year have been 81,
377,997 bushels; same time last year, ST.
1863, 572 bushels; a decrease of full 10000
600 bushels. This does not present a
very promising outlook for our wheat
growers this year. It is, however, to be
noted that our area is not much increased
that our area is not much increased: that
the reports from Dansas and some other
localities indicate very poor condition of
the wheat crop, and that foreign nations
have been consuming the surplus left
over from the general wheat crop of 1888.
