. FARM AND FlREsIDE.

MANY farmers who have planted
orchards on hill-sides have spent much
time resetting and doctoring. Able
writer's say that hillside where the
water runs off quickly is the very
place for the worms to hatch their
young.
"A garden trowel, or a round stick
about one and half inches in dame
ter, and about one foot long, and
cross-piece fastened on top and the
other end we'll sharpened, is very
convenient implement for making the
holes in which to set the plants.
10 secure good seed corn for next
year the farmer should begin while the
corn is growing to make observations.
He should note and mark all promi-
nent stalks. as the early maturity,
vigor and prolificacy are as important
As the termination Of the seed.
1t is Southern fashion to cook
green corn in the husk, and I have
never eaten any more delicious. Re-
move only the course outer husks,
leaving on the inner ones. Strip these
down 80 as to to remove the silk, then
tie them in place again and boil.
Serve with bowl of melted butter and
season we'll with salt and pepper.
DO not be tempted to grow two
plants on the space that should only
be occupied by one. An extra unde-
sirable plant becomes a weed, and
when the two are of the same kind
they injure each other more than if of
different species, as they demand the
same food from the soil and must strug-
gle with each other.
--Vaseline makes very clean, odor-
less application for light harness, rid
ing brides, saddles, etc. After giving
it chance to dry in, go all over the
surface with a rag dipped in the white
of an egg. This gives it waterproof
coating that will last for some time and
prevents tho oil from staining the
hands or clothing. Have the leather
perfectly clean before oiling.
The digestive organs soon get out
of order when grain is fed to the ex-
clusion of grass or bulky food. This is
true of all classes of stock and also of
poultry. It is better to feed hay alone
than allow a surfeit of grain. especially
in summer. A variety of food promotes
digestion and prevents disease. It is
also more economical to give variety,
as less food is then required.
-Caramels: One and half pounds
sugar, one cup cream, one tablespoon
butter and half cake of sweet Ger
man chocolate. Mix all together in a
stewpan and cook, stirring frequently
until done. Just before pouring it out
of the pan, flavor with vanilla or
lemon. Pour into buttered dish,
and before it gets perfectly cold, cut
into squares by running knife up and
down the dish. 1t will break nicely
when cold.
-Parched rice, is very good in the
case of bowel troubles. Roast it to
q nice brown, as you would coffee,
throw into sailed boiling water and
cook rapidly until done. Rice water
for drink is made by stirring a table,
spoonful of rice flour, wet with cold
water, into quart of boiling water.
Season with salt, let it get very cold
and flavor with lemon juice or nutmeg,
sweetening to taste.

TANK RESTORATION IN CEYLON.

In the last week in February n sue
cessiOn of festivities and ceremonies
took place at KaIawewa, in North
ern Ceylon, to celebrate the reStora-
ton by the Government of the great
tank at that place. The policy OF
restoring the ancient and Stupendous
irrigation works Of Ceylon, though
it did not originate with Sir Arthur
Gordon, will make his admmlstra-
ton memorable in the history OF
the island, for these huge reservoirs,
which are called "tank>" in India
and Ceylon, spread %cultivnt'o" and
fertility over large tracts of country,
which, without them, are given V e
TO marsh and jungle. Northern
Ceylon, especially districts which
in the early centuries of our era sup
ported large populations, are now,
owing to the ruin of the irrigation
orks of the ancient kings, almost
u~ninhabitable. For some years past
the Colonial Government have stead'-
Iy directed their effort" TO rest" ring
these mighty works, and early in the
present year the Kalawewa tank, the
largest and most important in Cey-
lon, was declared completed, the for
NAL opening by the Governor taking
place on February %, although the
various festivities were spread over
several days. The tank was con
strucled in AGO A. D. to supply the
ancient capital of Anuradhapura and
the neigh6ourhood, the water being
conveyed from it by a canal 81 miles
in length, which on its way supplied
a large system of village tanks. 1t
has an area of 4.425 acres, or about
seven square miles, with a contour
of 80 miles. On all sides but y it
is surrounded by high ground, from
which it is fed. On the remaining
