Household Hints.

In pairing fruit for canning, use a silver
knife, so that the fruit may not turn dark
colored.
Buy bar soap by the quantity. Kecpit
whcrcit will dry, and it will go much
farther in using.
Finger marks may be removed from
vanished furniture by the use of a little
sweet oil upon a soft rag Patient rub,
bling with chloroform will remove paint
from black silk or any other material.
In cleaning paint spots which will not
yield to rubbing or soap, even the spots
which look like small gashes cut through
the paint, may be removed by rubbing
lightly with damp cloth dipped in
soda.
Rusty black lace can be frcshencd and
otherwise improved by rinsing it in
water to which has been added boray
and alcohol in the proportions of one ta-
blcspoonful each of borax and alcohol,
to one cupful of soft water. After the
lace is partly dry dip it in water in which
an old kid glove has been boiled, squeeze
gently, pull out the edges, and spread on
cloth or plotting paper and dry under 8
heavy weight.

Some people recommend planting in
May and June, and others in September
and October; each practice has its adhcr
cnts, and while they are settling which is
best we will prepare our ground by deep
trcnching and liberal dressing, from the
compost heap, and then we will tell them
that the best time for planting the straw
berry is as soon rs YOU can get the frost
out of the ground in the spring If
planted in September and October, more
than onc-haIl Of the young plants are
thrown out and destroyed by frost, and if
planted in May and June, the hot, dry
weather coming on before they have got
q permanent hold Of the soil shrivels moro
than onc-half of them up; but when
planted before the sun has much power,
and while there is plenty of moisture in
the ground, and generally liberal al
lowance Of showers, they commence with
the season and never 90 back. The
strawberry should be planted two feet
apart between the rows, and about eight
inches between the plants ; these, the
year after planting, will give an album
dant yield, and in spring should be top
dressed with a mixture from the compost
heap and rather more than half de-
caycd banyard manure. The com
post and the dccaycd parts of the ma
nurc will feed the plants, and the littcry
parts of the manure drying will not only
act as 4 mulch by keeping the sun from
drying the ground, but will also keep the
fruit and flowers clean during heavy rain.
When the iruitng season is over, this
long stuff can be raked off and carted
with other garden refuse to the heap, and
the rest Of the stuff forkcd in. The plants
should be encouraged to make good
strong crowns for next years fruting. If
the weather is very dry during juno,
when the Strawberries are coming into
flower, give copious watcrings; far better
leave it alone than half do it, and if the
ground gets two or three good hoodings,
the top-dressing will keep it moist most
through the truiting season. Every third
year. instead Of digging the plat up and
planting another, train the runners into
middle between tie rows and peg them
down. With the Liberal top-drcssing we
have given the soil here will be lust the
thing for new bed, and as soon as the
young plants can do without their foster
ing mother the old ones can be cut off
aud cartcd to the heap aforesaid, some Of
the dccaycd parts of the heap brought
back in their place and dug in, and by
the fall we will have a flourishing bed Of
fine, strong crowns that will yield a
splendid crop the coming season, And
this may be repeated every third year,
renewing the ground and plants in the
same manner. This is a way Of my own.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


Experiments in sowing by Mr.. Charles
A. Plumb at the Geneva On, W Expert
mcnt Station showed that wheat sown
from one quarter, and from this to one
half, throc-ouarters, one, ono and half,
two, and two and n half inches deep
terminated from ninety-onc down to
eighty grains-thc latter at two and two
and half inches-pcr 100 sown. But
the wnter-killing was most severe in the
grains slightly covered, being eighty
seven plants at onc-quartcr inch and
only eight at two and half inches deep.
From this latter depth down to depth
of seven inches the results were moro and
more unravorablc. At six and seven
inches only nine plants came up. The
conditions were bad and the winter-kill-
ing severe, and undoubtedly from the
fact that in deep seeding the plants come
up exceedingly weak, are obliged to put
out surface roots for support, and hence
remain weak. The rcsuts-and these
have been pretty constant in other like
experimentation that anywhere from
two to three inches, according to whether
the soil be heavy or light, is the proper
depth for sowing wheat. But in this
connection the farmer must not be misled
in the sowing Of spring grains, From
one to one and half inches is the
proper depth for wheat and rye, and
somewhat more for barley and oats. In
fax the best results will probably come
in covering not to exceed one inch.
4 The grain thus throws out its feeding
roots within the influence of heat and
moisture, gradually going deeper and
deeper as the season advances.

THE LAND QUESTION.
GlGdstonc's appropriation Scheme
Stated Another Way.

1t is affirmed by persons believed to know
that there never ha, been AM foundation for
the statement that MI Gladstone intended
to ask authority to issue loan in order to
secure funds to carry out his scheme to tuy
out the real estate owners of ireland. 1t IS
now declared that the premier, in his scheme,
proposes the appointment of n commissioner
of experts to fix the value of the various Ian
properties in Ireland, which at these valua-
tons. are to he handed over to the possession
of the government in exchange for cOESoiS,
In this way Ireland is to be made debtor to
the cmp:r, for the entire amount paid to the
landlords, together with interest, the whole
sum to b, repaid into the imperial treasury
by Ireland in instamcnts within the term OF
30 years, at the end Of which term the
lesSecs are to become the owners. This plar
involves u dom site arrangement between
the government of Ireland and the tenants,
Ireland becoming the tenant Of the empire
and sublctting to the occupiers at sums whose
aggregate will inclued rent, taxes and a levy
to meet the interest on the consols and create
q sinking fund for their final liquidation 1T
necessarily involves home rule.

OF all the leaks on farm, says the
RWm IIord, lcaky, sloping barnyard
is the worst The time -honorcd fashion
of placing the barn on a knoll or the
highest spot of land near the house isa
most rcprchcnsblc one. More wealth
gldes away from such sunny, elevated
barnyard than can be computed. 1t must
reach far up into the millions annually.
The number of barns that are so placed
that the water that falls from the roof at
each rain and rushcs through and washes
cut The most valuable soluble portions,
can be numbered by the hundreds of
thousands.
Every level headed farmer has, or
should have a level OF slightly concave
BARNARD. much in the folm Of an invcrt
Cd watch crystal. If flat. and the bot
tom is of clay the outer edge should be
raised to a height of at least one foot,
so that no water would escape that had
fallen in the form of rain.
For the purpose of converting the
largest proportion of the wheat straw in.
to valuable manure, the stack should be
built in the centre Of such yard, and
sufficient straw be scattered from time to
time to keep the yard in a passablo CON
ton.
To make the manure heap Of the great
est value, the manure Of the various kinds
Of farm animals should be daily or fire.
1ucntly scattered over the straw in the
yard, so that each, possessing distinct
i've value Of its own, would become thor
ouehiy comminelcd, and thus form a
manure in common, that is especially
well adapted TO growing all kinds of
crops. Such daily or weekly deposits in
the manure bank enable the thrifty far
MGR to check out from time to time q
reasonable amount of valuable manure
without danger of ovcrdrawing his &C
count. The farmer who has good
bank of woll-dccomposcd manure made
annually subject TO his order, is, and can
be, the only true Independent one, for
the income derived from abundant crops
will as surely make him so as ten times
one are ten. Feed the soil, and it will,
in turn, feed, clotho and enrich you.
