Recipes.

Stirred Bread.-One quart flour, two large teaspoonfuls baking powder, two teaspoonfuls salt, two eggs and sweet milk to make stiff batter; bake in a loaf in biscuit tin. To be broken, not cut, and eaten hot. Water may be used instead of milk by adding a spoonful of butter.
 French Fried Potatoes. the potatoes, cut in blocks an inch long and little larger than lead pencil, soak in ice water an hour, drain and dry with a towel, have as much hot lard as you would to fry doughnuts, put in as many of the potato strips as will go in without overlaying and fry until golden brown, stirring them up often that they may brown evenly, take out into a colander and dust lightly with salt.
 Salad Dressing. heaping tea spoon each of salt and mustard, two tablespoons of thick, sweet cream, one tablespoon of butter, three of sugar, one third of cup of vinegar, the well-beaten yolks of two eggs; add mustard to eggs, beat well; add sugar, salt, cream stir all we'll together and place over the fire, and stir constantly until it thickens l; add vinegar last, pouring the dressing over the salad and mixing it well.

Interesting Experiments with Oats.


 Among other interesting experiments conducted by Prof. H. c. White, of the University farm in Athens, Ga., under the auspices of the State Commissioner, and recently reported upon, was one test ing the effect of different manures under oats and of different top dressings.
 The plot selected was section of an oat field s25 feet long and 132 feet wide, containing in all 1-2 acres. A strip S25 feet long and 49 1-2 feet wide was ma- nured in the fall with well-rotted stable manure alone at the rate of 20 bushels per acre. A strip S25 feet long by 33 feet wide was manured with cotton seed alone at the rate of 20 bushels per acre. A strip s25 feet long by 49 1-2 feet wide was manured with commercial fertilizers (ammoniatedD at the rate of 800 pounds per acre. The plot was divided into ten sections across the three strips, each sec ton containing in all IA acre, and sub- divided into three parts, c containing
 
 containing 3-S2 acres. The top dressings Gncluding cotton-seed meal, acid phos- phate, nitrate of soda, sulphate of am- monia and muriate of potash) were ap- piled at the rate of 100 pounds per acre upon each section on the same day, i'm mediately preceding shower.
  to the results presented in a table accom- panying the report, and not given here for lack of space, are:
 First-Where no top dressing was ap- piled stable manure gave best results, commercial fertilizer next best, and cot ton seed much lower results.
 Second-Cotton seed does not appear to be a good manure for oats, either with or without subsequent top dressing. ThirG-The largest yield, which was 1,51S pounds of grain and ?, TAB pounds of straw per acre, was obtained by ma nuring with stable manure and top dress ing with nitrate of soda.
 By manuring with stable manure and top-dressing with muriate of potash, were gained 1876 pounds of grain and 8, 326 pounds of straw per acre. By ma- nuring with stable manure and top-dress- ing with kainit, were obtained 1,25O pounds of grain and 2,57O pounds of straw per acre. Sulphate of ammonia ap- i piled as top-dressing with stable ma nure gave 1,Os6 pounds of grain and 9, 406 pounds of straw per acre.

We Appeal to Experience.
 For 2 long time we steadily refused to pub fish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion of the public generally. the great majority were manufactured to order by unprinciple<i parties as q means of disposing of their worth. less preparations.
 That this view of the case Is to Q certain ex- tent true there can be no doubt
 At last, several years ago, we came to the conclusion that every intelligent person can readily discriminate between spurious and bona flde testimonials, and determined to us, as advertisements q few of the many hun. drsds of unsolicited certificates in our posses sion.
 In doing this, we published them as nearly a. possible in the exact language used by our cor respondents, only changing the phraseology, ir some cases, so as to compress them into q smaller space than they would otherwise occupy. but without in the least sxaggcrating We are glad to say that our dnal conclusion was a correct one-thst letter recommend ing an article having true merit finds favo! The original of every testimonial published by us Is on file in our office, an inspection ol which will prove to thu most skeptical that ou, given as they appear therein, is true.
 But as It would be very inconvenient, If no impossible, for all of our friends to call on U for that purpose, wo invite those who doubt i, there be such), to correspond with any of ths parties whose names are signed to our test monials. and ask them if we have made an, misstatements, so far as their knowledge ex tends, in this article. In other words, if W, have not published their letters as nearly yer batim as possible.

ble, it is necessary to have something in return for every stroke that is made, and for every dollar invested. Even when only few house plants are cared for, we expect to see growth and bloom in repay for our care; if not. our interest would soon be lost. We devote an acre ot land to certain crop; it costs for the season the interest for veal on the in- vestment made for it, beside the expense of preparation, manuring, cultivating, harvesting, marketing, etc. Our crop is but half what it might be, or what good cultivation has proved what might be obtained. The time and expense of preparation, of sowing, and of cultiva- tion, have been as much as fer full crop, and the cost of harvesting and oth- CT expenses but little less; but part of Che land was too wet, and the planting could not be done early, as it should have been, and on the same account the manure that was applied, though there WlS hOS Hull CuouSl ol lllul, COulu OulN produce partial effects; and so, from these combined causes we get back for our seasons work, perhaps the expenses and little more. The interest and expenses were $50 on the acre, and our returns all told, amounted to $6O, giving profit of $1O. At this rate per acre on the whole place, with what it provides for the table besides, with great economy, one may perhaps, live along for awhile, and the land is growing poorer, and the val ue of the first investment is lowered the place is running down. But at lit tie more expense in preparation, perhaps $1o on the acre, enough to insure the best results, making the whole $6O in stead of $50 as before, the crop is twice as great and perhaps further enhanced in value by its superior quality, All of this success then, is proft-$60 or more, in stead of $10-an amount that makes prosperity and success instead of failure -Vicks Magazine.
