He Wanted a Joker.

Most men, especially in the newspaper
profession, havea high enough apprecia-
ton Of their value and ability. There is
a Scotchman, however, who is conscious
that he does not possess in a marked de
gree all the essentials for perfect jour-
nalism. His name is John Saunders and
he publishes a paper down IN the coun-
try for the especial ~edification of a colo
ny of his own countrymen. He came to
the city not long ago and at once went
to one of the newspaper offices to see
the editor. In broad Scotch dialect he
said:
"Ye'll see by ma card tibet | am, like
yoursel, a newspaper mon. | ha come
to the saty on one special mession. ha
noticed in the papers that it ha come to
be the fashion to write jockey articles,
and / wad like to ken if | ma hire n mon
to do tibet for mesel."
The Scotchman was told he could hire
some one for that class of work, but that
such men came high. A good man, he
was told, for that class of work was
worth $40 OF $50 per week.
.Oh, dear, dear, SO muckle as tibet:
Well, / must ha ane for a the price. Can
ye tell whaur I'll be finding sic a mon:"
Eyes, 1 think l can find you one, said
the city man; "but why don't you write
it yourself:'

the feet and hands so long and curved as

to the utmost to keep it in view. 1t fin

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
CLEANING FINE LACEs.

To rub fine laces while washing them is
ruinous. The following is the best
method of doing them up: A thick
blanket of soft rags is sewed around a
bottle, and on this the lace is pinned.
The bottle is then placed in bath of
soapy, warm water; after soaking for
twenty minutes it is boiled for some time
and allowed to cool. 1t is dipped in sew
eral baths of clear water until all the soap
seems to be removed. The lace is then
taken off the bottle, and, after the water
is gently pressed out, it is hung up to dry.
When still slightly damp it is placed on q
hair cushion covered with flannel and
fastened with lacepins. This demands
skill and patience. A pin is placed
through each loop and a twist is given be-
fore the pin is fastened. When quite dry
the lace is sponged with weak solution
of gum arabic, which gives lew ap-
pearance when dry.-Brooklyn Citizen.

FARM MANUREs.

Professor Henry, in paper On the
making and using of manures, concludes
with the following:
First-To have rich manure, we must
supply our cattle with rich food
Second-The value of the manure de-
ponds more upon the feed than the ami
NAL.
Third-Milch COWS take out more fer
tility from the food than other kinds of
stock; growing stock next, and working
and fattening animals the least.
Fourth-Very rarely does the fertility
taken out Of the feed by our live stock
amount to one-fourth of that in it, and it
may be one-twentieth.
Fifth-Nearly all the phosphorus is in
the solid portion of the excrement, while
the nitrogen and potash are in the urine;
hence, if we allow the urine to go to
waste, we have only one of the three
valuable elements left in any quantity in
what remains.
Sixth-In buying feeds we should al
ways have in mind the manurial value
that they contain, as well as the feeding
value.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
NO SULPHUR IN SAP.

Professor Riley pronounces as fallacious
10 idea that insects may be driven from
. .n0 bv boring holes through the bark
; INTO the wood, placing sulphur therein
and plugging the hole: The belief in
their t effacing, he says, is founded on the
s,1nposition that the poison passes with
the sap into general circulation and with
= into the foliage, and is destructive to
leaf feeding insects. 1t is an entirely I'M
fonnded idea, and is based upon ignorance
If the fact that the substance remains in
tact and is not taken up in the circula-
+ion. Instances where it has seemed to
succeed have been recorded, and in such
cases its apparent efficacy was due to a
coincident disappearance of the insect
from some other cause.

OYSTER SHELLS FOR POULTRY.

Considerable has been said of late about
oyster shells. Now, [ do not understand

it is absolutely necessary that hen must
be supplied with them in order that she
may produce perfect egg; but this one
thing do know by experience, that my
hens will lay great many more eggs
when supplied with them than when not.
In the summer keep my hens in yards,
and feed them corn, oats and wheat, let
ting them out one hour before shutdown
into a grassy field. They have gravel al
ways by them, but if they are allowed to
be without the shells three days [ notice
a decrease in the egg basket. [ write
this as my experience, thinking perhaps
it may benefit some beginners in the poul-
try business, who may neglect this Gas I
think one important item in the business,

that they do 10 good.-Pouztry Keeper.

RENoTATING OLD TREES.

Much time and labor are uselessly ex-
pended in renovating old and worthless
trees. In many cases the best use to
make of them is to convert them into fire.
wood. Such trees are often chance seed
lings, which have sprung up where tree
is not wanted. In the early settlement
Of the country many orchards were
planted with natural fruit. In the older
States such orchards are yet to be found,
the trees still thrifty, bat the fruit,
as a rule, worthless, though occa-
sionaIIy some tolerabie fruits are
met with. Whoever finds himself in
possession of one Of these old orchards, if
the trees are still sound and free from de-
cars may find it worth while to graft it
over with desirable varieties. If the trees
are large, it is better not to graft the
whole top at once, but to graft third
each year, beginning in the center.-Ag-

SALADS.

Many delicacies and healthful salads may
be made from vegetables, says Mrs. E. R.
Parker in the Courier-Journ0l, which are
particularly appetizing and acceptable at
this time of the year, when the appetite
requires tempting.
Asparagus Salad-Boil two large
punches of asparagus in hot water, drain,
cut off the tops, throw in cold water, and
stand half an hour. Then dry carefully,
put in salad dish and pour over a dress
ing made of a tablespoonful of vinegar,
then tablespoonful of olive oil, little
pepper and salt. Set on ice.
Lettuce Salad-Wash crisp center
leaves of lettuce, and dry. Break or tear
the leaves to pieces with a silver fork.
Make dressing of half a pint of milk,
tablespoonful of butter, yolks Of three
eggs, two tablespoonfuls of corn starch,
two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, with pepper
and salt. Pour over the lettuce and serve
Immediately.
Celery Salad-Cut the stalks of white
celery into pieces half an inch long. To
every pint allow half a pint of mayor
naise dressing. Dust the celery lightly
with salt and pepper, mix with the dress
ing and heap on cold dish; garnish with
celery liones.
Kale Salid-Strip from the stalks the
inside leaves of tender kale, lay on dish;
sprinkle with pepper and salt and pour
over a dressing of raw egg, three table
spoonsful of thick sweet cream, two of
lemon juice and teaspoonful of mustard;
beat all together.
Onion Salad-Cut up a dozen young
spring onions, season with salt and pepper.
Take tablespoonful of vinegar and three
of salad oil, mix and pour over the onions,
then place layer of hard boiled eggs On
the edge of the dish.
Spinach Salad-Take two dozen heads
of spinach, put on a salad dish, season
with salt and pepper. Set on ice. Take
the yolks Of three hard boiled eggs, mash
fine, add mustard, salt, pepper, with a
tablespoonful of melted butter, mix them
thoroughly and then with vinegar pour
over the spinach. Garnish With hard
boiled eggs sliced.
Dandeion, crosses, turnip tops and
mustard all make excellent salads pre-
pared as lettuce salad.

GRINDING OATS WITH CORN.

Corn meal alone is not merely too hearty,
but it is decidedly too heavy for healthful
food. For use on the table it is ightened
in various ways, and generally eaten with
something else less likely to compact in
the stomach. 1t is necessary to do the
same with it for stock, especially if the
corn is ground. There is nothing better
to grind with corn than oats. Their hull
makes the mixture much lighter, and the
grain itself supplements some of the de-
fciencies of the corn. Oats are also ex-
cellent to put in with corn in the ear,
when the latter is to be ground. Unless
this is done it is often hard for the miller
to make the cob grind fine enough. If
any way damp the cob breaks up into
pieces, and only the grain is ground and
that poorly. Somehow the mixture Of
one-half the bulk Of corn in the cob of
oats or barley will give the miller an adj
vantage in working the whole up as finely
as may desired. - Cutirat0r.

TO PUT A GLOSS ON wooDwo RK.

For gloss or enamel finish on smoothly
dressed woodwork, now in favor, as good
authority as Decorator and Furnisher gives
the following directions: It is done by
first putting on good ground OF white
lead paint fatted and finely rubbed down
with sandpaper. Then put into the paint
some white copal varnish, sufficient to
leave an eggshell gloss when dry, being
very careful that it is smoothly applied
and laid off finely, leaving no runs or
strong brush marks. Then apply varnish
alone, with just enough paint to cover it.
This last coat must be flowed on the work,
not rubbed out or brushed like the pre-
vious coats, but left on thicker or in
greater body, evenly brushed out, so as
not to be thicker in one place than another.
Zinc white of the best quality, broken up
thick with turpentine and strained very
fine, should be used for the last two coats.
Enamel finish, to retain its pure white,
should be made with zinc ground in var
nish for the purpose, the first coat thinned
with turpentine, the last with good copal
varnish. ~--.---

HOTSF CLEANING SUGGESTIONS.

HOUSE CLEANING SUGGESTIONS.
In cleaning bed chambers all furniture
should be moved, pictures and ornaments
taken from the walls and carpets taken
up. Bare walls, if hard finished, should
be wiped down and papered over, cleaned
off with dry cloth. Paints should be
washed; windows washed and polished,
floors wiped off with hot water, and
rinsed with strong brine. In washing
closets and privios, very hot water should
be used, and after drying thoroughly, they
should be sprinkled with benzine to de-
stroy vermin and moths. Carpets should
be freed from dust before putting down.
If spots of greese or dirt still remain,
they can be removed with hot water and
pearline When bed chambers are in
order, the parlor and dining-room should
be cleaned in the same way, and then the
kitchens, where special care should be
taken. All the baking pans, tin ware and
crockery utensils should be put in boil
ing water, and then secured. The walls
should be white-washed and floors
scrubbed; sinks and dishes should be
cleaned with carbolic acid and hot water.
After the house has been cleaned from
attic to cellar, the yard and out-build-
ings should undergo the same process, all
rubbish and dirt being hauled from the
premises, and lime and carbolic acid
freely used to cleanse and purify.

STRTNGY MILK.

TURNING UNDER GREEN CROPS.

Our own opinion is that it is not best
to turn under green crop or turn over
the soil at all in midsummer, unless the
land can be sown at once in 2 crop that
will promptly cover the surface again
with vegetation. We believe that the
decay of green crop under the soil will
exert a more decided chemical and bene-
fetal effect on the soil than if the same crop
be permitted to die and decay on the sur
face, and this is especially true in clay
soils. On sandy soils, already open and
porous and containing very little insolu-
BILE material that can be rendered avail
able by the fermenting process, it is prob
ably best to permit the green crop to die
and decay On the surface. On the whole,
1t may be left for each one to determine
Tor himself according to the circumstances
and consulting convenience. We are sat
lStied from experience that wheat or oats
will not do well sown Immediately after a
heavy green crop has been turned Under,
because of want of compactness in such
soil.-Southern CuItigat0r.

SUPERIOR VALUE OF YOUNG PLANTS.

Why, asks Josiah Hooker in the New
York Tribune, divide old bearing bushes
Of currants, gooseberries, Towering
shrubs, etc., to increase ones stock of
plants? This is necessary in the case of
species difficult of propagation, but for
the great majority Of shrubs a simple
hardwood cutting will emit roots readily
ii spring. These rooted cuttings, if
properly transplanted, rarely receive any
setback, but continue growing vigorously
from the start, and quickly arrive at the
Towering and fruiting age. On the other
hand, old, matured plants, probably
stunted in growth, if taken up and di-
vided still retain large portion of hard,
old wood and tough, useless roots. Pruue
these as we may, the plants will require
long time to recover from this treat
ment, and frequently never form attrac-
tive plants. Another point too often
overlooked is that young, vigorous shoots,
and, consequently, large, healthy foliage,
are absolutely necessary for the formation
of perfect flowers and fruit, and, as rule,
only with young plants can best results be
always obtained.
