Farm and Garden Notes.

Don't neglect the weeds.
Be regular in feeding horses and COWS.
Give plenty of green fodder to pigs
kept in 3 pen.
Cut away old canes of blackberries af-
ter gathering the crop.
No soil produces useful CROPS when
prematurelY saturated with water.
The most persistent vigilance is re-
quired 10 eradicate the cookie burr.
As a remedy for white specks in the
butter try stirring the cream every morn
ing before churning.
Young colts are fond of petting. Kind
handling makes them gentle and more
easy to manage later on.
A cotton card is one of the best in
struments for grooming a horse. It
cleans better than the comb.
Hay or other ground feed is indis-
pensable for horses, and ground corn or
hominy is better than whole corn.
Do not expect your horse to be equal
ly good at everything. The horse, like
the man, must be adapted to his work.
Whatever tends to promote the gen.
eral health and thrift of the tree will also
free both tree and fruit from blight and
scab.
If you have no young pigs on the
farm. do not buy any at fancy price
for the sake of using up the sour milk.
Feed it to the fowls.
For shady spot under the trees and
shrubs, where the soil is rich and not too
dry, there is nothing more satisfactory
than lily y-of-the-valley.
The purity aud wholesomeness of the
milk depends largely upon the quality
of the water drank, as well as upon the
quality of the food eaten.
Foul odors in the poultry house should
be kept down by removing the
droppings at least once week, and COW
ering the floors with fresh earth.
1t is good idea for the proprietor of
the farm to cultivate the crops in the
orchard. If the trees are injured then,
it is not so hard to tell how and by whom
it was done.
1t is only a dirty habit that causes a
milker to wet his hands with milk while
milking. Cows should be MIXED with
dry hands, and only after the udders
have been washed or well brushed.
Glover should be grown more abun.
dainty than it is on many farms. When
properly cured it makes very nutritious
hay, containing more muscle and milk
making material than ordinary hay.
Bone-dust moistened with little wa
ter, in the course of few days yield to
water a considerable amount of phos-
phate of lime, and this solubility rapidly
increases with the putrefaction of the
gelatine of the bone.
All chicks that feather out early are
hard to raise, and only extra attention of
the right kind will save large percen-
tage Of them. The severe drain upon
the system of the little chicks in feather
ing is the cause of this.
The making up of butter depends
upon the custom Of the market to which
it is consigned. local tastes having to be
considered. Whatever form is adopted
it must be of attractive neatness, which
well repays the trouble of the maker.
N. J. Shepherd believes in cows that
are hearty eaters. He is satisfied that
while we may occasionally find an ami
NAL that seems easy to keep in thrifty
condition with small amount of food,
such animal has no particular points of
excellence.

Catsups.


Catsups are easily prepared, says the
Courier Journal, and much more health
full relish with meats and game than
pickles. When homemade they are
very economical, and more likely to be
pure than even the best quality that can
be purchased from the manufacturers.
Cold Tomato Catsup-Cut ripe toma-
toes into thin slices; put in a stone jar a
LAYER of tomatoes and layer of salt al
ternately until full; stand aside for three
days; strain; spice to taste, and bottle.
Green Tomato Catsup-Take equal
quantities of green tomatoes and
onions, chop fine, sprinkle with salt;
put in bag and let hang up over night.
Season with red pepper, mustard seed.
celery seed and cloves, Pack in jars; !;
pour over strong vinegar.
Sliced Cucumber Catsup-Take three
dozen large, ripe cucumbers and one
dozen small onions. Slice the cucum-
bers, sprinkle with salt and let stand
over night. Drain; add the sliced
onions, with red pepper, cloves and all.
spice; cover with hot vinegar.
Cucumber Catsup-Take large, ripe
cucumbers. Pare, remove the seed and
CRATE. To every pint of pulp allow half
pint of vinegar, teaspoonful of salt,
half teaspoonful of cayenne pepper and
two teaspoonfuls of grated horseradish.
Drain the grated cucumbers, mix in the
other ingredients and bottle.
Boiled Tomato Catsup-Put bushel
of ripe tomatoes on to boil; boil gently
an hour and half, then strain and re-
turn the liquor to the kettle and boil
thick; add hall gallon of vinegar, apd
simmer gently for one hour, then put in
half pound of brown sugar, half tea
cup of salt. one ouut each OF black pep
per and allspice, two ounces of mustard,
one of ginger, half an onnce of cloves, a
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, and half
teas poonful of powdered asafGtida; stir
we'll and let boil Bottle and seal.
Mushroom Catsup-Take freshly
gathered mushrooms; wire, but do not
work them. Put layer of mushrot ms
in the bottom of a crock, sprinkle with
salt; put in more mushrooms and salt un-
til the crock IS full. Cover with damp
folded towel, and stand in warm place
for twenty -four hours; work and strain.
To every quart of liquor add one ounce
of pepper cones, and boil slowly for
thirty minutes; add a quarter of an
ounce of alIspice, half an ounce of sliced
ginger root. one dozen whole cloves, and
three blades of mace. Boil fifteen
minutes longer. Take up and set to
cool, strain, bottle and seal.

temperature sixty degrees to seventy
degrees Fit becomes suitable for the
churn in twenty-four hours, or before the
cream has entirely risen. Access of air
appears to hasten the process. The sour
ing of the milk or cream has directly
little to do with preparing them for the
churn. Its influence is, however, other
wise felt, as it causes the caseine to pass
beyond that gelatinous condition in
which the latter is inclined to foam
strongly at low temperature, and by en-
veloping the fat globules hinders their
Joining together. On churning cream
that is very sour the caseine separates in
fine, granular state that does not in
terfere with the gathering" of the but
ter.
Churning cream when slightly sour,
as is the custom in the Holstein dairies,
yields butter of peculiar and fine aroma.
Butter made from sour cream is destl-
tute of this aroma, and has the taste
which the Holstein butter acquires after
keeping some time. Stirring of cream
does not promote souring, but rather
hinders it by increasing access of air; 1t
may be advantageous in making the
souring uniform.
1t has been claimed, with some reason,
that churning the whole milk makes more
butter than to set the milk and churn
the cream. Very good butter may be
made from churning whole milk, but it
is more difficult to make than from the
cream. Willard advises, for a choice
article of fine color, full of aroma and
of long keeping qualities, setting the
milk and churning the cream. A tenn
perature of about sixty-five degrees or a
little above appears to be the best for
churning whole milk sweet, but the
usual temperature employed is from sixty
to sixty-five degrees.-NeW York World.

Fall Chicks.

j Now is the time to set broody hens in
brder to get supply ofpullets for early
Bpring laying. Pullets hatched now will
begin laying in February aud March, and
fhe first to begin will want to sit by the
LIST of March. In sitting hens in hot
8 ather it is best to make nest on the
found, or if this is not practicable, line
box with sod, dirt side up. Sprinkle
with water containing solution of car
Rplic acid. Make the nest on top and
brinkle with sulphur, and you need
ave no fear of lice. If you have any
(ewly Matched chicks that seem droopy,
shd you have not taken the above pre-
buttons against lice, examine their
eads at once for the so. called butcher
Ice. To destroy them anoint their
eads with your finger dipped in lard.
Repeat the third day, and treat the breast,
fody and wings of the mother hen to q
Ike process.-Neao Yor.s Sun.

Fancy Quilts.

Quilts are so popular now that good
deal of attention is paid to them, says q
writer in the Housewife. The beautiful
Crete and Madras fowered muslin bed
covers may be seen on many beds. but as
a rule worked ones predominant. Some
in Roman sheeting have only one corner
ornamented; and favorite design is 9
thick, boldly worked trellis, with some
straying leaves and large clematis.
There are Just three or four crossed
slaves, worked in shades of browns and
greens in the corner, forming the trellis,
but the tendrils and flowers extend to
some distance. A bedspread recently
exhibited, and worked by an old wom-
an, was of brown sateen, with design
in light blue cotton in the center and
round the edge. A frill of light blue
pongee silk, about quarter of a yard
deep, was gathered on all round, and
over that fall of rather coarse lace. The
effect was excellent. I have also seen q
gold-colored sateen quilt, worked in
pink and brown knitting silk, with q
deep frill of pink pongee silk.

A Sanitary Hint.

The cellar demands attention now.
The great source of diseases is a damp,

equired to clean it out. The decayed
