Stock Feed-The Potato Bsetle--How
to Destroy Grab Grass Roots for
Feeding Roadside Trees.

tiit nVis
Every farm ought to have Its expert
mental patch.
A rod OF barbed wire, In place Of a box,
protects trees against horses and small
boys.
Thin out all surplus plants in the hot
beds II they are crowded, and those re-
manning will become more stocky. The
hotbed may be left open during the day
at this season.
The best food for making hens lay is a
pound OF lean meat, chopped fine, given
three times week TO flock OF twenty
hens. But very little grain ia required at
this season.
Corn Pudding: Two cups OF canned
corn, one pint OF milk. two eggs, salt to
taste. Beat the eggs until very light
add the other ingredients put the mix
ture in buttered pudding dish, and bake
about forty minutes.
The fall colt can be turned on the pas
ture, and will cost but little. A mess OF
oats at night, with hay, is all II requires.
Mares intended for spring work should
always foal in the fall In order that the
colt may be weaned in spring.
sorrel thrives at this season and crab
grass later on. Keep II down at all costs,
In order to lessen the number OF plants
noxt season. When crab grass appears It
is easily destroyed when young. Con-
slant cultivation is the only remedy for
both.
II you have any corn fodder the sheep
will pick 1t over and clean the stalks. II
the fodder il bright and clean all classes
OF stock will relish II III the fodder is
run through the cutter and the stalks
crushed by the cutter there viii be but
little waste.
The clover field is the place for the pigs
that have been weaned. They Will need
very little other food. A mess OF
skinned milk, or buttermilk, with a
small quantity Of ground oats at night,
will cause the pigs to grow rapidly II they
have the run OF clover.
The potato beetle viii attack the egg
plant in preference TO anything else, and
unless some plants are carefully watched
and the beetles picked off they will des-
troy the plants in less than day. To
save the plants they should be examined
two or three times day.
When many want 10 sell is good time
10 buy, and when many want TO buy is
good time TO sell for many sellers make
good prices, followed in due season by
small supply and good prices; and many
buyers make good prices, followed in due
season by large supply and low prices.
There is no color on the horse which
is so insenHible to the heat as the sorrel.
There is seldom any coat 30 silky or re-
spends so quickly as the sorrel. But
more important still, there is seldom any
horse with such sound feet and limbs, OF
the endurance OF the sorrel.
Glazed Beef Set the beef that has
been kept from the soup to glace in a
moderate oven for about an hour, taking
care to baste the surface oncein while
with the broth and some condensed beef
buoillon; drain on dish, take off the
lat, strain aud reduce the liquid TO the
OF a demi-glace sauce with q
little moro broth and two ladlefuls OF
tomato sauce. Put some mashed potatoes
on q round platter, set the beef in the
middle, pour some Of the sauce over, and
serve.
Butter or string beans, II cooked and
Dickled according TO these directions, are
delicious. Wash them and steam them
until they are tender, but not soft put
hem into jar and pour hot vinegar over
hem; sweeten the vinegar and season
highly with cinnamon. Another way
equally excellent. but which gives diff
erent flavor 10 the pickles, is TO boil
hem in salted water until tender; then
Dour over them the hot vinegar which
las been sweetened, and in addition to
he cinnamon has a liberal allowance of
,epper cayenne or black may be used.
Every farmer should himself under
Itand grating, and be able particularly
o do it. The art is simple and easily
earned. 1t may not always pay the
armer to do all the large jobs Of grating
hat he has to do, since his own time
nay be worth more at something else.
But it is the little jobs, the setting Of
lalf dozen gratis not worth sending for
professional CRATER to do, that thus are
reelected from year TO year, simply be-
ause no one is at hand to do the work.
Professional grafters make good wages
citing gratis at 80 much apiece. Most
i them have an assistant who saws off
he limb to be grated, while the CRATER
It's the scion to the cleft which he makes
nd covers the wound to exclude air.
his and connecting the scion with the
utter wood OF the branch is all the art
here is in grating.
