HOME AND FARM.

Pork made on clover is not only
cheap meat, but very delicious, If
finished of with grain in autumn.
Growing fodder is excellent for COWS
that are kept under the soiling system.
but the fodder will be more nutritious
if allowed to grow and the crop cut
just when the ear begins to glaze.
1t will not do to run pillow
through an orchard, as the roots of the
trees may be cut and hacked to pieces
so greatly as to do injury. A light
cultivator may be of service. however,
as by its use weeds and rank grass may
be kept down.
Cracker Plum Pudding: Fill dish
with buttered Boston crackers, in lay
ers, with raisins spread between them.
Fill up the dish with milk, cover and
leave all night. Add four eggs beaten
stiff, one-half of a cupful of sugar.
Steam one and one-half hours, and
brown in the oven.
TO Spice Plums: To seven pounds of
them take three-fourths of a pint of
vinegar, and three pounds of sugar.
Boil the strip, throw in the plums, let
them boil short time. then take them
out and boil the strip with mace, Gina
mon and cloves to taste.
Wash sadirons each week before
putting them on to heat; there will be
no danger of clothes being soiled in
the ironing. The starch is very apt to
stick to them, and unless washed off
carefully each week, is almost sure to
soil damp pieces, even if the irons are
rubbed before using them.
Brick Beef: Three and a half
pounds of lean beef, chopped fine, four
crackers, rolled, three eggs well beaten,
tablespoonful salt, tablespoonful pep
per. Use thyme or other herb. Mix
well and mold into brick. Cover
with bits of salt pork and bread
crumbs. Put coffee cup of water in
the pan and haste often. Bake one
hour.
1t is sad mistake to allow the
buttermi1k to remain over night in the
churn, as is done too often, even by the
most careful. Another point is not
to let the churn become too old. When
it gets so dark and weather-stained
that you can not wash it white again,
then turn it to some other use, and get
you new one.
Soup should always be clarified by
the following rule: just before the
soup boils the scum that has risen to
the top during the process of heating
should be carefully removed. A little
cold water poured in will assist the
particles that compose the scum to
rise. After the soup has been boiled
it should be strained; this may be re-
peated, then if the soup is not as clear
as you would like to have it, mix one
egg and its broken shell with tea
cupful of cold water, then to this add
a teacupful of the hot soup, then stir
it all into the boiling soup; let it boil
up we'll, then set the kettle upon the
back of the stove, and when somewhat
cool strain IT.

SELLING FARM PRODUCTS.
How to Ascertain Whether a Crop Ha
Been Profitable or Not.

How to Ascertain Whether a Crop Has
Been Profitable or Not.
How and when to sell the products
is as important as how to produce
them. We may succeed in raising a
fair crop, and yet if it is not properly
marketed, we may fail to realize pro-
fit The difference of few cents per
pound or per bushel, will very often
make the difference between profit and
loss. With potatoes, onions and APP
pies it is often an important question
whether it is best to sell in the fall or
store and keep until during the win
ter. They are products that with
proper care can usually be readily
stored with >very little risk of loss,
and are nearly always marketable.
1t is true that the prices may be very
low in the fall, and occasionally they
will also be low in the spring, SO that
it is difficult to determine whether it
is best to sell in the fall or store until
later. As a rule, when fair price
can be secured, the best plan is to see
as soon as the crop is fully ready.
That is, with onions usually
it will be better to sell at
fifty cents per bushel rather than
store, unless the prospects are unusu-
ally good for prices to advance. Pota-
toes and apples can, as rule, be sold
at even a less price than this, rather
than store. While with good care
there need be but little risk in storing,
yet there must always be some, and
often a very little carelessness will
damage sufficient quantity to consid-
erably lessen, If not entirely destroy,
any profit that might be derived from
storing. To this should be added the
risk of failure to secure better prices
during the winter and spring than can
be secured in the fall.
In this matter every farmer must, to
a considerable extent, be his own
Judge, as there is no rule that can be
given that can under all circumstances
be considered reliable. The price de-
ponds largely upon the supply and de-
mand, and all that can be done usual
ly is to ascertain this as fully as posi-
BILE, and determine what in your judg-
ment is the best plan to adopt.
By selling, the risks are all avoided,
and you can know to a certainty wheth-
er the crop has been profitable or not.

from Ocean Beach. Asbury Park,
Philadelphia, Newburgh and other
places, asking for information about
these worms, and inclosing orders for
them.
The white worms command a price
OF Is cents a dozen, and have been
known to sell for S. a hundred. The
blood worms generally sell for 10 cents
Dozen They are dug with
a hooked fork. and are found
about eighteen inches below the
surface. They must be alive
to be salable. as they are not fit for
bait when dead. They can be kept
alive for week, and even longer. Hot
weather soon kills them, and a man
must understand the business or he is
liable to lose a thousand at time.
These worms are used for catching
striped bass mostly. Shedder crabs
are used for catching weakfish. In
catching bass men put on bathing suits
and go into the surf, where the fish are
larger than in deep water The fish
are very fond of the worms Some
times man need merely lay worm
across his hook, toss it quickly into
the surf, and he may as quickly pull it
out again with fish on the end of his
line. 1t is not an uncommon thing to
pull in fish that weighs 25 pounds. At
Ocean Beach short time ago man
landed striped bass weighing 40
pounds. Along the Hudson this fish is
often found, but not as large as at the
beaches. Bass weighing3 or pounds
are also caught from the piers.
Women are quite enthusiastic over
the sport of fishing, and the dealers
frequently receive orders from them.
A woman will visit worm store in the
course of her forenoon shopping and
leave an order for one or more dozen in
view of fishing trip the next day

POINTS ON POULTRY.

A GOOD supply of pine or cedar shavings
should be kept on hand and deposited oc-
casionaily in each nest. They are prefera-
BILE to hay or straw, as the odor is obnoxious
to the lice.
CRUSHED bones and gravel should be at
their disposal; also fruit and vegetables of
all kinds cooked, except such as are Pun
undesirable flavor.
WITH eggs so low in summer as barely to
cover the cost of production, poultrymen
must produce them in the fall and winter to
get the best returns. From October to
March, one year with another, the market is
the best.
In the winter scatter chaf on the ground
and the grain among it. This will cause the
hens some trouble and keep them active
promoting health. without pains, no
gains' is an old proverb and proves itself
true in the care of poultry.
POULTRY, like every thing else, needs a
warm place in winter and plenty of light.
Windows should invariably be On the south
or east side of the coop and should also be
thoroughly ventilated. The rooms should
be kept clean and tidy and good supply of
water or milk should always be kept near
them, the latter being preferable.
If your object is to produce eggs, it is bet

birds kept separate and not forced. Pullets
Matched in March and early April make
good autumn and winter layers and the
cockerels bring fair price for broilers.
Leave high-bred, high-priced fowls to the
fanciers and keep standard breed.
AN accurate daily record will be found
convenient for reference, and by its use
one can arrive at a truer estimate of what
flock will lay. If each days eggs are wiped
clean when brought in, it is not an arduous
task to prepare them for market. Be very
particular about hunting eggs and let none
Ut all questionable go among those for mar
kss. In this way one can warrant every
egg.
THERE are two essential points gained in
raising early chickens: First, they will be
ready for early marketing when prices are
high, and the rest (Which should be pullets
reserved) will be ready TO begin laying by
September or October, and win continue
usually through the winter, when eggs are
IN good demand. Any ordinary hen viii lay
in the spring. The hen that lays while it is
showing or when the thermometer marks
below zero, is the hen for profit.

Substitute for Cremation.

DR.. Hay, an English chemist, with a
leaning toward ghastliness, has in
vented a substitute for cremation. He
would pound and pulverize the corpse
in mortar, breaking the bones to lit
tie bits. The resulting mass he would
put through a prodigious sausage ma
chine and make it into mincemeat.
Dried by means of steam heat, at q
temperature of two hundred and fifty
degrees, the mass would attain COM
mercial value as fertilizer. Should
this method fail to suit, he suggests
either the boiling of the body and the
conversion of the resulting oil into
lubricant for soap. or else the placing
of the body into gas retort and con-
verting it into Illuminating gas. water,
ammonia, tar. animal charcoal. sui

TRAFFIC IN WORMS.

New York Merchants Who Sell Large
Quantities for Bait.
A number of people in this city find
an extensive and profitable business in
selling sand worms to fishermen for
bait. One merchant of this commodity
in West Forty-second street has sold in
a busy season as many as $4,000 worms
in a week. There are two varieties.
the sand worms, or blood worms as
they are COMMONLY called, and the
white worms.
The blood worms are much more
plentiful than the white, running In
the ratio of one hundred blood to one
white. The blood worms are found on
a rocky beach. and in sand IN which
there is considerable vegetable matter.
This variety is obtained along the north
shore of Long Island. in the vicinity OF
Fort Hamilton, and along the shores
of Staten Island. The white worms
are found in clean. white sand, along
the south side of Long Island, Sandy
Hook, and the coast of New jersey
Both varieties are dug at low tide.
When the weather is hot they come up
to the surface. and when It is cold they
go down deeper. They are about SIX
inches long; the white worms rather
fat, blunt at both ends. and lined
along the sides with short fringe;.
the blood worms smooth, more pointed.
round, resembling very. closely the
earth worms found in rich soil.

Horticulture q Pleasant Pursuit That Is
Worth Cultivating.
There is constantly increasing class
of outdoor workers among women,
who become such because of better
understanding of the laws of health
and necessity for outdoor exercise.
Some of these are content to follow in
a beaten path, procure few seeds
and spend the summer in transplant
ing. wedding, watering and admiring
she flowers. Others go farther and
try to add interest by increasing the
size of their garden, one Southern lady
heard of pushing matters in this
direction until her garden measured
nearly an acre, and her varieties
exhausted a prominent catalogue.
Such an extension of operations
is neither profitable nor possibie
to most ladies who seek health
nd amusement in their gardens, nor
oes it meet the wants of those who
ish to step a trife out of the beaten
path. Here and there one goes a step
the greenhouse and explores very
little the mysteries of artificial plant
propagation and growth. Beyond this
none go, leaving unexplored some of
the most attractive and interesting by
ways of horticulture.
Methods of propagation by budding
and grating, the starting of difficult
seeds, the laws by which the increase
of many plants is governed and gener-
al botanical knowledge are sealed
books to many women who. if they
would only venture to look into them,
would be surprised and delighted at
the depth of amusement and instruc-
ton to be found therein. Nck's Maga-
