The best time for soil pulverization Is the autumn, because the frost will then penetrate the earth during the winter. .-Boston Post.
 A little bag of mustard laid on the top of the pickle jar will prevent the vinegar from becoming mouldy, if the pickles have been put up in vinegar that has not been boiled.-M r. Post.

 Layer cake ought never to be set away on plate, but on something with flat surface If you have nothing bet ter, turn one of the tin jelly-cake tins bottom side up and put white paper over it; put the cake on it until you wish to cut it. Chicago Tribune.
 Fried Apples: Wipe a few nice, smooth-skinned apples, have ready a spider with little butter and lard in it. let it get hot, and slice the apples into it, sprinkle little sugar over them, and fry slow to nice brown, taking great care not to let it burn.-1Oledo Bldde.
 Cultivate the peach trees, and apply three hundred pounds of muriate of potash and two hundred pounds of fine ground bone per acre. If the soil is rather heavy this may be done in the fall, but where the soil is light one- half the quantity may be applied now and the remainder in the spring. The peach orchard should always be kept clean of grass and weeds. Troy Times.
 In the absence of meat. potatoes boiled in milk, where there is plenty of the latter, is an admirable prepara- ton for feeding to young, growing chicks. A mixture of one-th;rd corn meal and wheat bran with the above will make the young chicks grow wonderfully if given fresh every day. The best feed for setting hens is plenty of good, sound whole corn. They should have plenty of fresh water to drink. -Aibapy Journal.
 The best horsemen do not water a horse for an hour and a half after eat ing. The old saying is that a horse has more sense than man-as he will not drink too much. This is one of the greatest mistakes in 5he care of the horse. He will drink too much when heated and the stomach empty. He will also drink too much when the first heat caused by digestion commences. Study these questions and learn how to feed and water horses during the heated x-.l-s h., o1 World.
 Don't allow water to stand in the fields or in any sink-holes about the buildings or yards In fact don't have any sirk-holes about the premises to hold water. A scraper is good thing to have about every farm. Many fields have little knolls and holes that might easily and cheaply be leveled by the use of the scraper If much soil is taken from the place the manure cart must follow after the scraper. A depression of any considerable extent must, of course, be dralned. Even a little sur face drainage will often accomplish wonders-M <. Farmer.
 To plant currant cuttings in Oc- tober or November, which is the best time, chose some good. straight young shoots, healthy and well grown, of about foot in length, or little over, and from the part that you are about to insert be- low the surface of the soil cut carefully out all the eyes and buds, as this will afterward serve to prevent suckers grow ing up and detracting from the strength of your young trees. As for the soil, the ordinary kitchen-garden soil that is uni formly trenched and manured will do admirably we'll for your young cuttings. Take care to plant them firmly in, but not in too sunny situation. r. Her. g[d.
