ed, IS dangerous. We have known
serious harm to result from the prac.

Cucumber vines should be made to
tran on ? bush, as the cucumbers can
then be more easily picked, aud they
also grow long and OF better shape
than when the vines are left on the
ground.
1t is claimedthat agood COW should
give 5000 pounds of milk per year,
and that when she gives only 5000
pounds she is kept at a loss. The
5000 pounds represent about five
quarts per day for 800 days. Every
quart over that amount lessons the
cost OF the whole.
Sow oats and peas together, and
turn the crop under as soon as it COW
ers the ground. A large amount OF
green anu may be grown and
plowed under in this manner, as it is
not necessary to secure heavy growth.
As fast as one crop is plowed under
seed down to another.
A corner Of the barn, or an out.
building devoted to the purposes Of a
workshop, in which a bench can be
placed, will enable the farmer to do
many small Jobs that otherwise entail
loss OF time in sending TO the wood
worker or blacksmith. Only a few
tools are required, and the cost will
be but a small sum.
The good points OF an OK: A broad
intelligent face, with head up; small
neck and horns; length OF body;
straight back, heavy shoulders, with
full brisket; broad loins, hips and
stilie; well thighed and ianked down;
medium stomach; straight leg and
rather short; heavy arm. wide gam
brel Joint; a good foot and small tail.
Do not hesitate to paris green the
potato plants. Every beetle destroy
ed reduces the number next year. The
war OF determination should not
cease until the beetles are extinct.
One difficulty is that if only a few bee
ties appear no thought is given the
small damage that may be done, but
the damage will be ten-fold greater the
following year The aim should be to
destroy them, no matter how few the
number.
A noted English breeder in enumer-
ating what he considered the good
points Of shorthorn cattle, stated
that among other things the eye OF
the animal always influenced his
choice to 4 great extent. A quiet,
good-natured eye was that of the ami
NAL likely to suit his purpose, but the
keen eye, in constant motion, he
avoided, because it Indicated an irri-
table, uneasy temperament, and an
animal OF such a temperament would
not readily iatten.
There is probably no kind of fruit
better adapted to a poultry.yard
than the plum. And the difficulty Of
growing this fruit, because of the cur
culio attacks, is so far obviated by a
flock Of hens that combining tie two
is an advantage to both. A farmer
who had q plum orchard from which
the fruit regularly fell before ripe,
never succeeded in getting a crop until
he transferred his hens to this plot
and kept them there until the pluns
were ripe. The fowls needed less food
than when kept in close quarters and
gave better returns.
One of the newest items going the
rounds Of the press islto the effect
that a curd called Tolfu is made in
Japan from beans. 1t is said on gel
entifc authority to approach more
nearly in its composition to animal
food than any other vegetable food
known. Its nutrItjve value 10 placed
at about double that OF beet, about
one fifth Of its weight being fat, and
nearly twO-ffths being heterogeneous
matter. TO prepare the curd, the
beans are first soaked for "a hours,
then ground with pure water into a
thin pulp. The pulp is heated to boil
ing. when more water is added. and it
IS boiled again. More cold water is
then added. and after standing q
short time, the liquor IS strained
through & bag, brine is stirred into
it elfectire d coagulation, and the
curd is pressed
