Cranberry Sauce.

After removing all imperfect or soft
berries, wash thoroughly; place for
about two minutes in scalding water; ;
skim out or drain, and to every pound
of fruit add three-quarters of pound
granu!ated sugar, a half pint water, and
stew over a moderate fire. Be careful to
cover, but don't stir the fruit. occasion
ally shaking the pan if in danger of
burning. The berries will thus retain
their shape and add to their appearance.
Boil from five to seven minutes; remove
from fire; turn into deep dish, and set
aside to cool. If to be kept, they can be
put up in air-tight jars.

piece, and should be set out about three
feet apart in the furrows of small plow,
with four feet between the rows. Cover
two inches deep with hoe.
Rhubarb is in no way particular about
the land it grows upon, provided it ID
not dry gravel and is well manured.
To grow it we'll, however, demands very
heavy manuring; ten or fifteen cords per
acre every year Of strong manure, rich
in nitrogen, is what is wanted. Hog
manure is best. Spread the manure and
plow under when preparing the land,
and put some more along the burrows IN
planting. Afterwards rake off every
fall the dead leaves and rubbish about
Nov. l. Plow light funow from the
plants at each side, fill this with ma
nure, and cover with plow, ridging the
land well over the crowns. In early
spring cultivate across the ridges and
stir often with plow and cultivator, and
hoe until it is growing too high.
The best variety for general marketing
in Boston is the Victoria, on account OF
its large size and very heavy yield:
Thirty tons per acre is not unusual, and
even forty tons have been grown. The
Iiunaus variety is earlier and preferred
by some buyers for its milder acid, but
it does not yield much more than half
the crop which the Victoria will pro-
duce.
To grow rhubard prohtably one should
be near his market, fer the bulk of the
crop sells at less than Sl5 per ton, and
often for $40. The expense of market
ing at long distances is considerable. 1t
is mostly grown within six or eight miles
of market.
The bed should be replanted after
about five years bearing, as the roots
spread about and crowd, making large
amount of small stalks, involving double
the labor in cutting and punching for
market, and making an inferior product
to that grown on a young bed. A new
plantation should not be cropped at all
the first year, and will not produce a
full crop the second. but after that for
five years is in its prime.
The price of rhubard is always high
early in the season. and some growers
grow little of the Linnaus variety In
sandy land on the south side of a fence,
so as to get it early Cultsoatsr.

Waxing Hardwood Floors.

For waxing hardwood floor take a
pound Of the best beeswax, cut it into
very small pieces and let it thoroughly
dissolve in three pints of turpentine,
stirring occasionally if necessary. The
mixture should be only trife thicker
than clear turpsntine. Apply it with a
rag to the surface of the floor, which
should be smooth and perfectly clean.
The right amount varies. less being re-
quired for close, hard-grained wood,
and more if the wood is soft and open
grained. Even professional "waxers"
arc sometimes obliged to experiment,
according to the Scientific Anaericnn,
which gives these directions, and novices
should always try square foot or two:
When thoroughly dry, rub with a hard
brush. If it polishes we'll repeat the
proce g over the whole floor. If not,
remove the wax with sand.paper and try
again. If the mixture is slow in drying
add little of the common "driers" sold
by paint dealers.

The..Frightened Horse.

The feeling of fright is probably SEN
sation common to ali animals from man
kind down to the lowest grade of life.
It is also true, that the higher the grade
of life, the more sentieut the animal,
the keener Is this sense developed. The
horse is universally noted for his sagacity
and intelligence, therefore in him ight
is innate. When horse manifests fear
it is because he has by exercise of his
reason decided that there is danger to
himself lurking in some object, which
he accordingly endeavors to avoid.
That same reason will, if properly d.
rected, undeceive him and convince the
animal that be is mistaken. The horse
being unable to reason, except from his
experience, you should convince him, by
careful examination, that the object he
breads is harmless. Bring him in direct
contact with it. 1t is common saying
that if the nose is touched to the object
the animal will be satisfied; generally
this is true; the animal becomes &C
quaiuted with his enemy" 1t is ter
rible mistake to use whip on a fright
ened horse. The animal is already cx-
cited, and Will. in all probability,
associate the VIII piping with the oh ect
of his dread. Exert your own common
sense and calm your horse.
Colts especially should receive most
conSiderate treatment, and above all
things make your lessons thorough. To
leave the OBJ .ect of his alarm before hav-
ing made him thoroughly familiar and
careless of it. is often worse terfoid
than no attempt at all to break him
of his skittishness.- s.-National Horse

The Culture of Rhubarb.

At the request of several of our sub
scribers we gle the following hints on
the culture of RI lbarb. The best time
to plant rhubarb IS in the fall after frost
has killed the leaves, or early in spring
before it has made much growth, but it
may be set out W thout much risk at
any time in early summer before July 1.
The old roots should be divided so as
to have but ons or two eyes to each

Farm and Garden Notes

Keep tools handy.
The dust bath is the toilet of the hen.
Clean the bins before putting in the
potatoes.
Cut corn fodder from which the sweet
corn has been picked.
A window facing south in the poultry
house this winter will pay in increased
eggs.
Every time you worry your horses
you shorten their lives and days of USE
fulness.
Sheep are better scavengers for small,
unripe, wormy apples than swine ore, it
is claimed.
1t is dangerous for the colt to run
alongside the mare, particularly on a
public road.
Sell your poorest horses. Always
keep the best young females to breed as
they mature.
Give horses clean, substantial food, 80
prepared that you would be willing to
taste it yourself.
John NJ Stahl thinks farmers should
fully comprehend that they can live
cheaper by growing fruit and vegetables.
The English rarely drive their draught
horses faster than a walk. Trotting q
cart horse would seem barbarous to q
cockney,
The longer you put off transplanting
strawberry plants the less they will grasp
the soil and the more danger there will
be of winter-killIng.
French farmers report very beneficial
results from the use of copperas solution
as manure on strawberries, pears, let
tuce, peas, beans, carrots and vines.
Wash dairy utensils. pans, pals and
vats carefully with cold water, in which
is little salt or soda; then rinse and
then thoroughly scald with hot water.
Professor E. W. Steward advocates
faxsced as a medicine for pigs. 1t is
soothing to the stomach and intestines,
and tits also rich in food for muscle and
bone.
One reason that there are so many
mortgaged farms, is because so many
farmers sell COIN, oats and hay early, and
then have to buy the same class of arti-
cles before The next crop is raised.
1t often happens that autumn is the
best time to apply manure to fruit trees.
The soluble portions Of the manure sink
into the soil during the months before
the commencement OF growth in the
spring.
TO have fowls moult quickly they
should be we'll fed, in good health, young

The promptest, cheapest and most ef-
fective means of restoring worn-out
orchard is, according to DR.. T. Fl. Hos
kins, to dress it heavily with coarse
ground bone and unleached hardwood
ashes sown upon the surface and plowed

! 4 prominent dairyman ho'ds that salt
ought Away to be kept in place where
the cows can get at 1t whenever they
want to; that it keeps them in good
condition, positively increases the flow
of milk, and that they will never eat
more than is good for them.
! Self-sowing vegetables. such as lettuce
and spinach, which are hardy enough to
live through winter with light cover
ing, may be started early in autumn
from artificial sowings. Hardy bienn al
and perennial ornamentals, if sown at
this time, will give flowers next season.
