THE HILLING-UP PROCESS.
Why It Is Not as Eoliablc and safe ai
 Level Culture.

Level Culture.
 The old system of milling up vcgc- tables with conica shaped hills, the plant forming tho apex or yortex ot the hiII, so much in vogue for many generations past, needs to Dc rclcgatod to the limbo of departed absurditi,s, s, mover to bc rcsurrccted while the sun shine, ana Water runs, Like many other errors, it ha7 held on tcnaciou,ly, handed down from father to son and grandson, and I, cvcn now worry Slow in relaxing its grip on the minds and habits cf ncn.
 There i- vast deal of good com. mon -cn-o M thc above, which cor- respondent Of the Indiana Farmer writes. Ilc thinks that there might have been some excuse in tho early settling up of this country for tho hill. inE-up process when the ~oil wa- sut, uratcd with surerabundance ol moisture, and it was desirable 10 rid thc vegetable, of that extra dampncs, hy draining lt away from the plants, but that reason has long ceased 10 eX i4t, for tho country io cleared up, the ground is amply drained NV open ana tile dltche,, and plants nowadays often ~uifor more from want of moisture than from an excess of it; hence it be- hoOvc9 us now to sock better method of culture and to adopt that method which is best suited to the condition of our -oit ana climate.
 With that object in view this gentle man cNpcrimentcd to some extent and found tho following method decidedly successful, to wit: Instead of making a conc--hapcd hill around hi> plants ne makes q good sized basin-ahaped circle of we'll hood ground around each plant or hill of plants 50 as to leave the plant in tho center of the basin and in the lowest part thereof in order that it may catch and hold all the rain and dew that fan. and in ease of dry spell supervcning and it becomes ncces- sary to water tho plants vii h sprink- lNg pot late Of evenings or early in the mornings no water is lost, as il would bc II poured or 7prinklcd on a cone-sharcd hill, which would natur- ally run the water away from tho roots, instead of to the roots, where it is needed.
 Stirring thu soil deeply next to thc plants by using small, long -bladcd hoe, narrow -badcd spade, spading fork, or even an ordinary butcher knife is much better for onions, rad ishes, bects, turnips, potatoes or, in- decd, any other kind of vegetable that grows in our fields and gardens than the old plan of milling up All plants grow from tho inside out and it is our duty to aid their roots by loosening and pulverizing the soil next to them, so as to give them a fair chance to grow rapidly and develop large roots, bulbs or tubcrs, without wasting their innate energy in vainly contending against the compression of circum- fcrcntial walls of compact soil.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN

Maplc-sugar sauce is made by mix Ing tho juice Of ore l1rnon, a quarter ofa pound of maple sugar and half a cup of water toa@ thcr. Boil until it threads, then add the whites of two eggs beaten stItr and half cup of thick cream.
 Ono cause for mildew on goose berries, grapes, ctc., is too thick foli- age, or being grown with too thick tops. Thin out thoroughly and you will prevent mildcw to q great extent. Currants and gooscberrles should be well and heavily mulchcd with any coarse litter.
 Strawberry Dumplings. Make a fine paste, roll out about q third of an inch in thickness and cut in squares of four inches. putting in each gill of straw berries, fold over, pinch to- gcthcr tightly and bake or steam them. Have butter and sugar sauce With a little lemon juice.
 With the later crops it is very important to stir the soil frequently. By this plan, and especially so If only the surface is disturbed. a considerable aid toward securing thc necessary moisture may be secured. This work is of really moro importance in this respect with the late crops than with the earlier ones.
 The safest and best way to grow black ra9pbcrries and bIackborries for fruit is 10 plant thick ana cut back thoroughly, making a perfect hodge Of canes that are strong and stocky. Of course, in growing two crops together. as de- scribed above, compost or manure must bo used freely, also mulch

A Hundred Tons of Money.

1t hardly seems possible that the money
paid In one month for Il ten-cent article,
could, if pennies were used in payment,
weigh one hundred tons Yet one of our
bright school boys has figured that this is
true of Diamond Dyes. To judge from the
stocks of our dealers in dye stuffs, Diamond
Dyes own the field of package dyes, and are
complete success. OF course they have
imitators. Nothing is a success until imi-
tated." But no one wants to risk counter
felt when the genuine can be obtained at the
same price. Three new colors have lately
been added to the list OF Diamond Dyes:
Fast Stocking Black, Turkey Red for Cot
ton. and Brown for Cotton. The manufac-
turers, Wells, Richardson & Co., Burling-
ton, VT, will send colored samples of these
new dyes, with book of directions, to any
address, free of charge. These additions
seem to have made the line so complete that
any shade can be matched with some color
of Diamond Dyes. The beautiful sample
book of shaded colors, lately sent to all deal.
ers in dyes will delight the eye of any lady.
''lt's easy to dye with Diamond Dyes" is so
absolutely true that home dyeing is no longer
a difficult and disagreeable task. Almanacs,
with their hints as to proper times for diff
ferent work, tell Us that now is the time for
Spring dyeing. This. together with the
thought of that hundred tons of money,
leads US to ask what school boy can figure
how many thousands of ladies are now say
ing that this is the time to use Diamond
DYES.

The German Housewife.

In the richest German household
the mistress superintends the kitchen
and lends hand to the cook. There
are dishes which she always makes
with her own hands, because her Fritz
likes them SO. She may boast thirty
tive quarterings on her escutcheon
and be very proud of her lineage, but
she has no nonsensical ideas about its
being degrading to put on a canvas
apron, lard piece of veal, make jams,
or dole out with her own hands prunes
that are to be put into the potato stew.
She keeps her best attire for Sundays
and makes it serve on many of these
festm days, for she does not follow
fashion blindly or in hurry. On or
binary days she dresses with a plain
ness that would excite the contempt of
a Frenchwoman; but then her culin-
airy pursuits do not prevent her from
being by far the intellectual equal of
her French or Belgian sister. She
reads serious books that she may be
able to converse as an equal with her
well-taught sons; she practices music
that she may remain on level with
her daughters, who are trained to be
brilliant pianists; and she finds time
to read the newspaper in order that
she may understand what her Fritz
has to say about the topics of the day.
