Household Hints.

Put meat into hot to roast If the
meat and get hot together the meat
will be tough and the gravy gray.
Always turn cake out on a cloth, as it will
stick to board or plate. Pieces Of old table,
cloths, hemmed, make good cake cloths.
In making anything with sour milk. add tho
soda last or put 1t into the -four or meal and
sft it in last. SO as to save all the effervescence
Never let the sunrays strike . mirror. 1t acts
upon the mercury and makes the glass cloudy,
which all the rubbing in the world will not re-
move.
Fer cherry stain for pine floors take rain
water three quarts, annatto four ounces. Boil
in copper kettle till the latter is dissolved;
then throw in piece OF potash the size Of a wal
nut. Let it stand one-half an hour longer and
bottle for use.
+ Javeile water, used to remove tea and coffee
grass and fruit stains from linen, is made thus:
Mix we'll in earthsn vessel one pound OF sal
soda, cents worth of chloride of lime and two
quarts of soft water. This will be quite strong
and should be diluted for most purposes
Don't use full strength for removing stains from
the hands, as it will make them dry and rough.

Simple and valuable Experiments.

Country Gentleman.
The observing farmer may learn much that is
valuable by experimenting in a small way with
different methods of cultivating his fields The
common difficulty is that he applies the partcu-
lar treatment to the whole field, not leaving q
portion for comparison, and he guesses at the
result instead of weighing and measuring. We
would not ask him to be laboriously accurate,
but reasonable amount of care may be taken.
Suppose, for example, that he wishes to ascer-
tain the comparative advantages OF two or three
different modes Of planting raising corn. the
number of stalks to the hill, what variety IL
most productive; he may adopt two modes.
either of which will require little or no addi-
tional labor, and at the same time give him
valuable information. The simplest mode will
be, when cutting mp the crop, to make several
shocks of each kind. or with each mode OF cult
ture, a1l having the same number OF bills, and
then in huskine to obtain the average product
of each By trying in this way tho average
product of half dozen shocks of each, any
mate rial advantage of either will be at once dis
covered. The knowledge thus obtained may be
wor tn hundreds Of dollars eventually, In culti-
waiting fields of forty or fifty acres for success
sion of years.
Another and perhaps more accurate mode,
will be to plant the different kinds. or to apply
the different modes. in strips running across
the field, and each just wide enough for row
of shocks. When huskiEg. count the number
the comparative merits of each will be learned.
This mode will be less liable TO error than the
first mentioned mode. because the parallel
poorer portions of the field while single squares
may very materially in the quality of the soil
In testing different varieties of the potato,
single parallel rows of equal length may be
measured in their several products, where the
object alone is to determine the comparative
merits of varities. But in ascertaining the eff
feet of fertilizers. the experiment. should extend
to several rows, because the ibrous roots. al
ways running several feet horizontally. would
feed on the manure in the next rows. il single
rows wers treated
In determining the comparative results from
different experiments with sowed grain, in
the treatment of meadows, measured strips of
equal length should extend across the field and
each sort be kept separate until threshed or
weighed, experiments with each sort requiring
more care and labor than with hill or drill cult
ure.
Such experiments these, performed with .
reasonable amount of care. will give far more
reliable accurate and valuable knowledge than
such as may be acquired by guess work.
Plans for such experiments may be laid before
the busy season OF spring opens.

A Healthy Tone Noticeable In the Markets
Generally with Trade Improving Daily.
INDIANAPoLIs Feb. 8.
While the volume Of business is not up to the
expectations of some OF the most aggressive
merchants, to those who disposed to make
the best of the situation trade is quite satisfac-
tory. and thus far this month has kept we'll mp
with that Of the corresponding month of 1887,
and in some lines an increased sale is shown.
Ali admit that there is healthy condition of
things generally, and the outlook for an early
spring trade is good. Then this is accompanied
by an easy money market, which helps mat
tiers wonderfully. Dry goods men report
trade as improving daily, with firm
and steady tone to prices The leather men are
experiencing good trade. The tendency OF
prices for sole and finished upper leather IS up
ward, while rough feathers rule steady. Drug
gists are busy, and the tendency Of the market
is upward on most articles. Quinine is SLOW
and the prices easier. Camphor is higher
From tho present outlook good spring trade in
paints and oils is promised. The market is in
good shape for this time OF the year. Grocers
are mo derately busy. Refined sugars are NOV
ing out fairly well. Prices are firm at about lie
higher range per pound Eastern markets
than at the corresponding period, 1887 The
new crop of molasses meets with slow sale East;
prices are easier The coffee market Is fairly
active. The visible supply of Rio is:

Teas selling fairly well. There is no
prospect Of lower prices in the near future. The
rice market is steady and well held. But little
is doing in spices. The produce markets are in
strong, position. Apples and potatoes have
been selling freely for some days past and with
reduced stock commission men begin to talk
higher prices. but have as vet accomplished but
little in that direction. Eggs are higher on light
receipts and an increasing demand.

The local market was il much the same posi-,
ton to-day as on Tuesday. There was fair
attendance Change, but bidding showed a
lack of confidence in either futures or spot stuff
