HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

Beauty and ornament add to the
value of farm. A few trees around
the house may sometimes be of more
value than the ground.
Whenever the work of the farm
win permit, it viii pay to pillow up a
good patch for turnips. In any thing
like favorable season turnips will
yield heavily; and as very little, if any,
cultivation is necessary, they can be
raised very cheaply.
Stone jars in which lard has been
kept and greasy pie-plates may be
cleansed by putting them in kettle
with ashes or sal soda. covering them
with cold water. and allowing them to
boil slowly for two hours. Let them
cool in the water.
The way to can peaches is to have
a kettle of boiling water and another
or sirup, made quite rich. Drop the
peaches into the water and let them
boil until just tender, when lift them
out with wire spoon and put them
into the can; fill it up with the clear
sirup and seal directly.
If orange rust appears upon rasp-
berries or blackberries carefully re-
move the affected plants and burn them,
root and branch, as soon as possible.
Lime, salt and sulphur, either separ-
ately or in combination, are scattered
over the soil by many growers in or
der to kill the fallen spores.
The thinning out of carrots, pars-
nips and beets in the rows can scarcely
be done too early. If much crowded
the plant soon begins to prepare for
seeding, as the extra juices in it's root
are dried out. This tendency once be-
gun, the root never entirely RECEIVERS
its old habit of vigorous growth.
1t is almost impossible on worn
soils to grow good hay crops or to make
permanent pasture where timothy and
clover only are sown. In such condi-
tons close moving, followed by dry,
hot weather, will often destroy the
weak dubious roots of the timothy, and
thus leave no prospect for rowen at all.
Pineapple Pudding.-Line the bot
tom and sides of a pudding dish with
thin slices of pineapple. Strew with
powdered sugar, place over layer of
pineapple, and so on until the dish is
full; pour over one cup of water and
cover with slices of sponge of cup cake
wet in cold water; cover and bake
slowly two hours.
Hardy roses will not endure neg
lect or scanty care any more than ten
der. They must be well fed, well
pruned and well protected. Plenty of
well-decomposed manure will give Wig
orous growth; a free cutting back in
spring will give fresh blooming shoots,
and a mulch of leaves, stable litter,
ETC., during the extremes of hot or cold
weather will keep the roots in right
condition. ALI this will give you roses
on almost any soil, though the roses
prefer strong clay loan, and vigor-

MAKING FINE BUTTER.
How to Obtain the Best Results in til
Ordinary Farm Dairy,

How to Obtain the Best Results in the
Ordinary Farm Dairy.
Much of the excellence of butter de.
ponds on the sailing, and while butter
that for any reason is really inferior
can not be raised to a grade of excel
lence by the sailing, that which other
wise might be classed as good is often
reduced to an inferior grade by the
manner in which it is treated at the
time of sailing. A good deal of butter
is churned to death; that is, the churn-
ing is continued to gather the butter so
long after the butter has separated
from the milk that it is pounded into a
creamy, pasty condition, exactly the
opposite of what it should be.
A piece of really good butter, prop
erly sailed, when cut apart with a
bright, sharp knife, should show two
clean-cut, smooth and slightly moist
surfaces, without any sign of mash
ing down of the butter particles, and
none of them should be found adhering
in sticky mass to the knife. When a
knife is drawn through piece of but
ter and comes out in such condition
that the blade can not be seen, no
expert is needed to determine it's
quality.
The two methods now in vogue for
sailing butter are termed brine sailing
and dry sailing, each of which has it's
advocates. The former consists in
making the salt into solution before
it is used, and in the latter the solution
is made by adding dry salt to the water
that remains in the butter after most
of the buttermilk has been worked out.
So far as the result is concerned the
object of each plan is to surround the
grains of butter with brine, until
enough of the solution is absorbed to
make them palatable. AS the butter
itself contains about II per cent. of
water, that must be taken into consid-
GRAFTON in brine sailing, otherwise the
sailing will be too light. On the other
hand, if more dry salt is used than the
water in the butter will turn into solu-
ton, the dry sailing will be in excess
and be shown in particles of salt I'M
dissolved.
To get the best results from any
kind of sailing the churning should
stop when the butter has fairly granu-
lated and before it has been beaten to
a salty condition by the process of
gathering. At this stage the butter
milk should be drawn off and the butter
be washed with cold water or cold,
weak brine until it runs off clear, when
either strong, clear brine may be
poured on to remain until the mass
has absorbed enough of the solution,
or fine dry salt, about one ounce to the
pound, be sifted on and be worked in
so that it will dissolve. After this
light second working should be given
to clear it of any buttermilk that may
be drawn out by the salt.-N. y

most only cure for horses ..sore
,necks,' but the difficulty in applying
this preparation lay in the fact that
the horses had to rest during the time
of its application, otherwise the collar
would rub it off, and there was no
chance for the horses recovery. A
thought struck him that to make a
zinc pad and fit it under the collar
would, at any rate, prove an ameliora-
i've, and may be cure. The man,
though ingenious in his way, was
much given to drink, and was looked
upon by the officers of the army az a
.ne'er-do-weer' with bright ideas.
While this was simmering in his mind.
and before he had put it into an actual
test, he happened to be in drinking
bar.
His finances at this time were at tho
lowest ebb, for his future was mort
gagged for all It was worth, and tho
publican refused to trust him with any
more drinks. An American drummer
happened to be representing a large
leather house, and knew a good deal of
the difficulty with which the American
farmers of the Southwest had to con-
tend. The two men got into converse
ton, and, as a natural result, the veter-
mary surgeon spoke of the idea that
was uppermost in his mind, and said
that ne thought he knew of remedy
for that most troublesome complaint Of
which all horses in hot countries suf-
fered. The American was perfectly
convinced that he was talking to man
OF good ideas, though bad principles,
and asked what he would take for tho.
idea.
II am awfully hard up and can get
no more drink on trust, so / will give
you the idea for glass of beer"
"Done!" said the other.
The American at once saw there was
probably millions in this, and he con-
ceived the notion that the matter ooz-
ing from the sores on horses necks
would corrode the pad and produce
sulphate of zinc-thus the disease
would provide its own remedy. He
also saw that zinc, being non-con-
ductor OF heat, would keep the parts
cool. The more he thought of it the
more he liked it, and although his
business should have kept him in Bonn
bay some months longer, he in few
days took the first steamship to Liver
pool and then to Boston. Arriving in
Boston, he threw up his appointment
with the house and started the manu-
featuring of zinc pads, after obtaining
a patent for the idea, and he is now.

An Eccentric Rhode Islander Who Pre-
sents Homes to Worthy Neighbors.
They say up in Newport that George
B. Hazard, one of the wealthiest citi-
zens, is a crank. No one has ever &C
cused him of being fool. He made
a big fortune in business and he has
it yet. He appears to have some
original ideas as to the proper employ
ment of the half-million dollars he
possesses. He has begun by giving
for nominal consideration dwelling
houses to several poor but worthy
residents of the city. He has given
clear deeds of the property, taking
mortgages for the amount of what
the rents of the property would come
to in ten years, the parties having per-
mission to sell or otherwise dispose of
the property in the meantime If they
find it to their advantage to do so, and
they can pay the mortgage at any time
they see fit. Hazard has many other
houses to dispose of in the same way,
and he doesn't propose to have any
wrangling over his property after
death. He has been in considerable
legal and other difficulties, and recent
ly was sent to jail for six months for as
sault, and, later on, he had a two
thousand dollar judgment rendered
against him in civil suit for the same
assault, which he refused to pay, and
was taken to jail, where he remained
until he decided to pay it.
Since mis- release the jailor lost his
position, and Hazakd has now come
forward and provided him with a large
house free of rent. He gave a valua-
BILE block on one of Newport's prin-
cipal business streets to one of the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
ton, ex-Postmaster Thomas .Coggs-
hall, without any consideration, be-
cause Coggshall was kind to him in
prison. Hazard is nearly seventy-fve
years of age and in poor health.-N

ADVICE TO SMOKERS.

Buy small Boxes and DO Rot Select
Light-CeIored Cigars.
"Have you noticed the change that
has come over the trade respecting the
standard cigar boxp" asked q leading
dealer of a reporter recently. ''Not
very many years ago the standard box
held one hundred cigars. Now the
standard holds but fifty, and the still
smaller box holding but twenty is
rapidly pushing to the front. Is this
not accounted for on the principle that
as nations become more civilized the
coins in use become sub-ditSded to
meet the demands of a more diversified
trade? May it not come from lean
ing towards fresh cigar? Wien one
man attempts to consume box con-
tanning one hundred cigars he finds the
last row too dry, and hence his change
to the fifty or the twenty-five box. 10
"But, continued the dealer, if the
wholesale and retail tobacconists of
this country do not soon awake from
their long sleep they will wake up
some fine morning and find that their
trade in costly Havana cigars is in
great peril and the work they are now
refusing to do will be many times
harder when the critical point is
reached. The point in question is that
foolish freak of nature, the insane
fashion for ight-colored cigars, and
without one word of comment or ex-
phantom the tobacconists have been
catering to that silly whim. Matters
have gone from bad to worse, until
whole crops of tobacco have been
ruined in the endeavor to supply some
thing that nature would not produce.
In the tobacco growing districts Of
Cuba the crops have been cut long be-
fore maturity, and as a natural conse-
quence very is ferior tobacco was the
result. The consumer still asks for
light-colored cigars, and at the same
time condemns the inferior quality of
later-day tobacco, that, nine times out
of ten, has been spoiled in order to
satisfy his craving for pale cigar.
This is all wrong, and it is within
the power of the retailer to counterfeit
this tendency On the part of the con-
sumner and bring him to realizing sense
of his own danger 1t is needless to
lay down set of rules for the guidance
of tobacconists. They know that the
soil and climate of Cuba will not pro-
duce light cigar tobacco any better
than any other. When nature pro-
duces tobacco light in color it is UNI
suited for cigars, is a well-known fact
the world over. This is, the rule that
nature herself has made, and when you
get a pale color you may know that the
tobacco has been doctored and unfit in
richness and aroma for a delicious
smoke. The great crop of Havana
tobacco is dark; the coming crop will,
in all probability, be dark also; and If
the dealers do not bestir themselves
and enter into the work of converting
their misguided customers they will
imperil their trade in the finer grades
of cigars. The Havana tobacco excels
all other for cigars. The Mexican
and Manila weeds are favorites for
cheroots. The Kentucky tobacco is in
termediate in character. The tobacco
of Virginia is the best for pipe smok-
ing, while that from Maryland is
used for the cheaper grades of cigars. !"
