CHICKS ON THE FARM.

Poultry reared with free range of orch
ard and meadow are the largest and also
finest in plumage and symmetry. They
have a prouder carriage and a look of
thrift and health not often seen in chicks
reared within the limits of town lots. If
the breeder must, of necessity, limit the
range, he must provide artifcially the adj
vantage which the country naturally sup
plies. Insects he must replace with
chopped meat, and, lacking grass range,
he must cut grass and clover daily. Shade
must be provided during the summer,
otherwise failure is sure.
Poultry raising and fruit culture go
hand in hand, and may be combined on
the same ground. An orchard is much
benefited by allowing fowls free range, as
the crop of harmful insects is kept down.
In the heat of summer the young chicks
will grow and thrive in the shady orchard
and pick up much of their living in it. If
the breeder lacks these advantages and is
compelled to raise his fowls in confne-
ment he may by extra care raise fair birds,
but even with the best attention they will
never equal in beauty of plumage and
vigor of constitution and size the country
reared chicks that have developed their
muscles in many a foraging expedition

TRAINING YOUNG ANIMALS.

1t would be impossible to compute the
immense loss that is sustained each year
by farmers, owing to the improper train
ing of young stock, rendering the animals
in many cases vicious and unsafe ever
afterward. Some suggestions on this
subject are given by correspondent: In
most sections of agricultural practice we
rhave made decided advance, and it is
somewhat singular that in the rearing,
? training and breaking Of arimals-what
we might style the education of animals,
so conductive to the comfort or discom-
fort of man-we still pursue course that
is closely associated with the dark ages.
One common foundation cause forms the
basis Of our non-success in the education
of animals, and it is the root and the re-
sultant cause of the evils that follow.
We assume that all animals at birth
possess hereditary vice, and that vice
must be eradicated before the animal can
become useful servant to man. This is
most certainly a mistake, and one that
leads up to numerous evils. The same
erroneous practice prevails in the training
of horses, bulls, dogs, ETC., but it is
probably in the case of horses where the
greatest mischief results.
In the education of a colt or a fillv, or
a young bull, the same care is needed as
that of a child. The disposition should
be studied, and defects eradicated by
kind yet firm treatment. At present, if
a foal is of lively temperament, it is at
once put down as vicious, and if either of
it's parents have showed what is mis-
I01 he Of fol-
brutality in their education then the foal's
iveliness is put down as hereditary vice,
and a prolonged course of harsh conduct
and beating is deemed necessary to effect
cure. If, on the other hand, the young
animal is of slow and heavy nature, it is
enormously supposed to be the result of
vicious sullenness, and the same treat
ment as in the case of the lively foal is
undertaken-harsh treatment and beat
ing to bring them into so-called sub
lection. In each case this cruel dis
cipline had just the opposite effect to
that sought, and hence we have sadly too
ing horses. In place of having horses
which entertain affection for man we have
them in constant fear of man, ever ex-
pectant of blow, and their worst actions,
often leading up to accident or death, are
too often the result of this fear; possibly
some movement Of the driver not con.
nected with them being misconstrued into
the intention to infict a blow. In the
breaking and education of all young
animals firmness should blend with kind
ness, but never with harshness or brutality.

FLOWING WET GROUND.

Nothing is gained by beginning plow
ing too early. Important as early seed
ing may be, and hurrying as farm work
may prove after it fairly begins, it is
better to wait until the ground will turn
up pliable rather than sticky. Under
draining is a great advantage to the
farmer in enabling him to pillow early.
The soil is made porous by the sinking
away of superhuous moisture, SO that
where the drainage is thorough the pillow
may be started almost as soon as frost is
out of the ground. Once plowed with
the soil not sticky it is to the depth of
the furrow much more thoroughly ex-
posed to air than before. But if the soil
is wet stirring only puddles it and makes
it harden into clods during the summer.
Clayey land is often injured for years by
being once plowed when too wet. Fall
blowing with the surface left rough is
the best corrective to such land after it
has been Drained. Without drainage the
wet mass runs together and the sun
hardens it as bad or worse than before.
If the land is in sod it will bear blowing
when somewhat wetter than if it were
naked. The sod under the furrow will
not press down closely, and this leaves
chances for the warmer air from above to
enter and dry it. Early plowed sod
ground brings much better corn or po-.

IsHMAEL OF ANIMALS.

The mule is a hybrid with no pedigree,
belongs to no genus or species, has bad
reputation, and has been abused all his
life, says Galen Wilson in the New York
Tribune. If persistent treatment of any
kind will finally breed that characteristic
into the blood and bones he has sufficient
excuse for being an Ishmael among other
animals, with his heels against all of
them. Even in the questionable sawdust
circle he has no place of "trust, honor or
emolument," but is ever compelled to be
guy and clown, and yet he possesses
many solid virtues. He natures quicker
than the horse, is harder, will subsist on
less and oarser food, is less liable to dis
ease, is stronger in proportion to weight,
needs less care, will do as much work
every day and live twice as many years,
and as such commends himsels to all who
have occasion to employ beasts of burden.
His ample, elongated, auricular append
ages denote acuteness of hearing, and the
bones, muscles and sinews of his physical
anatomy are noted for their fexibility
and aptness at sudden impulses of ac
CELEBRATED impetus.

ORNAMENTAL FROSTING ON CAKE.

To do ornamental frosting, such as
confectioners put on cakes, one needs a
frosting bag and tubes or frosting points.
The bag is of very thin rubber sheeting
and shaped like a cone or funnel. At
the end of the funnel is a small hole.
The tube or point is put inside the bag
and pressed firmly into and through this
little aperture. Then the bag is partly
filed with frosting, which is squeezed
through the point on to the cake. Some
points are simply round tubes, others
have got teeth that cause the frosting to
assume the form of leaves, crinkled lines
and other devices. A supply of points
of various shapes can be procured at any
housefurnishing store, and one can make
three of the rubber bags out of quarter
of yard of sheeting. After the neces-
sary practice one can ice cakes very nice

SHIPPING BEES.

Bees can be shipped long distances if
only precautionary measures are taken to
confne them to the hive. They also
need ventilation while in transit. Our
hives are Lanstroth with porticoes, and in
preparing some colonies for transporta-
ton to Nebraska lately, good, strong
colonies were chosen, in which the frames
were securely fastened with propoIis or
bee-glue. A couple of thicknesses of old
blanket were wrung out lightly of warm
water and spread over the frames, plenty
large enough to reach over the sides of
the hives, and then a board nailed on.
The dampness in the blanket served the
double purpose Of keeping the bees cool
and furnishing water while in transit.
Wire gauze was nailed securely over the
front of the portico. Bees fixed up in
like manner, missing their destination,
and that were knocking about as freight
for three weeks, yet finally arrived at their
destination all right. The bees we
shipped were sent by express.-Prairle

SCHMIERKASE.

Improperly made schmierkase, or cot
tage-cheese as it is sometimes called, is
not fit to eat. When made in the fol-
lowing manner, our folks think it treat;
Take thick ''loppered' milk; set it on or
near the fire until it curds. Great care
should be taken that the milk does not
become hot, as that would harden it and
render it unfit to eat-blood- heat is about
the right temperature for the milk.
When the milk has sufficiently curdled to
show like little islands in the whey, pour
into coarse linen bag and hang up to
drain. This will take some hours. Do
no press the curd, but when the whey
has been all drained from the curd, re-
move from the bag and set in the cellar
till wanted for use. It will keep several
days. Serve with sweet cream poured
over it, and season with pepper and salt.
Some like sugar on it.-Prair'ie Farmer.

THE BEST CHOCOLATE.

If you have large or rather elaborate
dessert chocolate may be served with,
say, the third course, as an accompani-
ment to the remaining part of the meal;
or, if the dessert be light, chocolate may
be served the last thing with whipped
cream and sweet wafer. A Senator's
wife who is said to serve the best chocolate
in Washington gave the following recipe
to Miss Edith ingalls,: Three-quarters of
a cake of chocolate, one quart of cold
water, one quart of sweet, rich milk,
sugar to taste. Crate or scrape the
chocolate and mix with the water,
thoroughly and smoothly; then sweeten
and allow to boil until it is quite a thick
paste. Boil the milk separately and stir
it into the chocolate mixture and cook a
few minutes longer.

Fresh water is abundant and cheap.
Carbolic acid is cheaper than cholera.
Did you ever SOW beans in drills? Try

Eastwood is pronounced by good au-
thority probably the best honey plant in
the world, all things considered.
The Southern Cuztiuator does not con-

By planting sweet corn every week for
few weeks, a supply of green fodder
may be had the whole season through.
Wick pronounces the spirea one of our

No good housewife can set a good table
without plenty of eggs. Hence the
necessity of every farmer keeping a nice
flock of poultry.
Calves should be watered regularly,
saws farm authority. They often suffer
greatly from thirst-the milk not being
all the drink they need.
Feeding silage from the top, rather
than cutting it down from the sides, is
considered preferable by Professor Cook
and many other good authorities.
In no other way can the farmer so radi-
callv do the work of nature to his advan-
tage as by using tile; for undertakings

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
REMEDY FOR ROSE BUGS.

Rose bugs are killed by means of a
spray of water in which insect powder is
mixed in the proportion of one teaspoon
full to a gallon. This is sprinkled over
the foliage by hand-spraying syringe.
The most effective fertilizer for Towering
plants is a solution of a pound of nitrate
of soda in barrel of water, of which a
quart is poured around the plants directly
after a shower or when the shower is fall
ing. In dry weather this solution is in
furious, as it rapidly increases in strength
by evaporation of the water. A good
liquid fertilizer is made by infusing wood
ashes and hen manure in water; about
one shovelful Of each to a barrel Of
Water.-Neao York Times.

neat pieces, clearing it of bone and skin :;
mix finely shredded parsley, powdered
marjoram, salt and pepper, and strew this
seasoning over the fish; dip the pieces of
fish in warmed butter and put them in a
pie dish, leaving room for liquid to flow
between; beat well four or FIVE eggs and
mix them with half a pint to pint of
cream or good milk. Put halyed oysters
