CURRANTs ARE SMALL GRAPES.

A frequent error among those interested
in cookery is to suppose that the imported
articles called currants, used in fruit
cakes, mince pies, plum buildings, buns,
and the like, are fruit resembling our
own black or red currants dried. In
reality these dried fruits which we call
currants are just as much raisins as any
thing that is offered under that specific
name, being only small dried grape,
although of exceedingly small variety,
each grape no bigger than a common pea,
and each bunch but two or three inches
long. These little grape punches are
picked and dried in the sun, and are so
full of saccharine matter that the exuding
sugar crystalhzes them into a compact
form of sufficient hardness to require
considerable strength to open the mass
and prepare the fruit for packing, they
being then a second time compressed,
this time by means of treading with the
feet, which process perhaps account for
a good deal of the dirt and gravel usually
to be found packed with them. The
grapes grow all through the islands and
adjacent regions of the Grecian Archi-
pelagO, and being exported originally
from Corinth, they were called corinths,
which word was gradually corrupted in
to currants, till the primitive plant and
it's fruit were forgotten in the remem-
brance of the little round berry of our
own gardens, which might be dried from
now till doomsday without developing
sugar to melt them together as we find
the Zante currants melted. - Harper's

A TRIBUTE TO THE SWINEHERD.

The swineherd has commonly been
considered a rather degraded person, but
little better than his companions to whom
he dispensed the husks and garbage upon
which they subsidized. But this is all
wrong, as we are informed by a manu-
facturer of ''pig condiment." This in
dividual takes a much higher ground,
so to speak, in considering the ancient
status and the present possibilities of the
swineherd. Formerly this person was
held to be of much Importance and was
highly respected. He was all the more
highly considered as he might possess
''an agreeable voice and a musical talent
that he might lull the pigs to sleep after
their meals by his sweet singing, so that
their fattening might be promoted" He
was also we'll versed in the science of
feeding, and able to select ''such food of
the proper astringent property as would
correct the propensity of his greedy
herd to disturb their digestive faculties
and improve their appetite and health"
And this enterprising person impresses,
upon the swineherds of America espe-
cially, the great Importance of buying his
continental food of barks and spices to
avoid the risks of cholera from the preva-
lent system of running hogs in the corn
fields after cattle to fatten them on the
unwholesome ordure Possibly diet of
aromatic herbs and spices with accom-.
panying music might give the ordinary
hams and bacon better flavor than is
acquired from the filthy food which the
rough, uncultivated, coarse voiced Ameri-
can swineherd now dispenses to his hogs.

CULTIVATION OF WHEAT.

Professor A. B. Blount says in the
Amsric0n Agricu1tewist: In growing a
crop of wheat the seed is all important.
There is much difference in seed-even
that grown on the same stool-that the
most careful selection is necessary. The
seed must be good, prime, well-ripened,
plump and with active terminating pow
er. The only way to secure such is by
selection at the time of opening. Selec-
ton is absolutely essential to good aver
age crops and good average quality.
Non-selection is great drawback to all
crops. 1t entails upon the grain ele-
ments of deterioration which cause so
many varieties to "run out" The habit
OF the wheat plant is to tiller or stool,
and this habit must be INDUCED and ia
7ored by giving grain more room and
substance enough to develop its val
liable properties. To have good seed
therefore, that must be selected which
Is nearest like the original and found
upon the parent stalk of the stool. It
ripens first, contains the best elements
and is the best in all respects. The ply
soIogical laws governing the production
OF the animal kingdom also hold good in
The vegetable. The transmission of good
and bad qualities from parent to offspring
are inherent; hence to have good wheat
We must SOW good seed.
Next to good seed we must have well
prepared soil. Rich, stiff, calcareous
soils are best for wheat Corn stubble
and potato land slightly narrowed and
without manure make very fine land for
good crops of wheat. The application
VI fresh or even well rotted barn-yard
manure directly to the soil in which
wheat IS to be sown is unwise and in
furious. 1t produces too much stalk and
100 little grain. Such manure should al
ways be applied in its fresh state to the
crop preceding wheat. Clover sod

IIellent, but alfalfa SOD excels them all.

FARM AND GARDEN.
HOMEMADE IMPLEMENTS.

DAYS when no outdoor work can be
done can be turned to good account by
making various conVeniences. For ex-
ample, a light-stone boat, or what is
better a sled to carry the harrow, plOw,
bags of seed, rakes, water jug, ETC.,
to the field. Men drink much less water
when it is close at hand than when they
have to 90 some distance for it. Another
useful implement to be made, is a marker
for LAYING out the corn ground. Boxes
in use about the farm should be of size
to hold bushel or half bushel They
will save great deal of grain and per-
haps a great deal of hunting for the half
bushel measure. -American Agriculturi8t

The dead body Of her husband and

as the family show no desire to remove it
for burial.
Mrs. Hamer, the wife of the Frankford

friend OF the wounded woman, had an
engagement with Mrs. Rosenberg at a
package party on Madison avenue.
When the news o! the tragedy was
brought to her she tainted and had to be
taken home. Mrs. Hamer had recovered
last night.
There is much sympathy expressed by
Mrs. Rosenberry's friends on her ac-
count but no one has kind word for
the dead man. Special Officer Downing,
Of the Twenty fourth District, who was
an eyewitness OF the affair, and In whose
arms Rosenberg died, is preparing the
case for the inquest, which will be held
