HOME AND FARM.

Sprinkle salt immediately over any spot where something has boiled over on the stove, and the place may be more easily cleaned. This also counter acts the bad odor.
 It is always preferable to preserve tomatoes in glass jars. No injury may result from the use of tin cans, but those who put them up in glasses are on the safe side.
 @-One reason that there are so many mortgaged farms is because so many farmers sell corn, oats and hay early, and then have to buy the same class of articles before the next crop is raised. Be sure and save enough for home use when selling a crOp.-FGr11s, Field and StockmGn.
 At house-cleaning time the man should either move or get moved the heavier articles of furniture; he should attend to the cleaning and putting down of carpets; the sitting up of stoves, and the like; in word, he should assume the responsibility for all the heavier and more disagreeable duties connected with good house. keeping, and be willing. on occasion, to take hand in those which are lighter.

 The peach and plum are nearly enough related to be budded or grafted on each other. The plum endures the cold better than the peach, and the latter fruit grown on plum stocks can be much more easily protected than when grown on its own. The head of tree of bearing size may be enveloped by a covering to protect it from the winds, while the hardier trunk remains exposed to the cold.
 Glass dishes crack when suddenly placed in hot water on account of the unequal heating of the glass. It is very poor conductor of heat, and the part first placed in the water expands before the heat can reach the other parts, thus causing a strain which re- suits in its fracture. Very thin glass is less likely to crack from this cause, as the heat is more quickly trans mitted.
 -Perishable articles of food are left to stand in warm kitchen, which, perhaps, came directly from cold stor- age, and should have small interval between that and the ice-box or cellar Meat, milk, fruit and vegetables are quickly sensitive to such treatment, and taint, sour, wilt, or, as in the case of garden products, lose their crisp freshness, so that disappointment in- stead of satisfaction is many times the outcome of careful and generous marketing.
 .-Jelled Peaches: Soak an ounce and half, or three-quarters of pack age of gelatine in half pint of water in warm place. Peel and stone five ripe peaches, boil the peaches in water to cover them, stew for an hour gently, strain the sirup thus made, mix it with the gelatine while boiling hot and stir until it dissolves; pour this sirup over the cut-up peaches, stir in cup of sugar, pour into mold and set on ice. A few peach kernels cracked and mixed with the fruit is a great improvement.
 A discriminating writer pertinent ly says that well-equiped farmers who have lands adapted to potato-growing will grow them by the hundred acres and with profit, even though prices should be low, while those who can not afford to own an outfit of ma chinery will quit raising for market. The man who plants and harvests by hand labor can not compete in raising for the market with the one who plants and harvests with machines any more than the wheat-grower who sows by hand and harvests with the cradle can compete with the grower who runs a seeder and self-binder.
