FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
About four hundred and fifty cubic
feet of we'll packed timothy hay in
NOW or stack will make q ton.
Too much corn to horses in warm
weather will cause profuse perspira-
ton. Oats should be used in prefer
ence.
If lawn is to be made an impor-
tant point is to have it made as
smooth as possible after seeding. The
better this is done the more easily the
plot
Banana GemS-Take one cup of
sugar, three eggs one-fourth- cup Of
water, one spoon baking powder and
one cup of flour. Stir in two bananas
sliced thin. Fill cups half full and
steam one hour. Eat with thin cream
i'm every State where experiment
stations have been established the
farmers have been protected against
adulterated fertilizers. the quality OF
the seed is better and the system of
planting and cultivating crops i'm
proved.
Saline manures act by stimulating
plants, to increase their foliage, and
they ought to be used on the young
crop for that purpose, and should not
be put on the soil at the epoch OF
termination nor at that of the ripen-
ing of the seed, since they act against
both termination and ripening when
plants are giving out carbonic acid gas
Cherry Tapioca.-Wash a cup OF
tapioca and let soak over night; in
the morning pour over pint of boil
ing water and let simmer until per-
fectly clear; stem pound and half
of sour cherries and add them to the
boiling tapioca; sweeten to taste; take
from the fire, turn in q dish and stand
away to cool. Serve very cold with
sugar and cream.
-Millet does best upon q dry, rich,
light and well pulverized soil. The
seed, like clover or timothy, being
fine. is not at all adapted to heavy
soils which do not easily pulverize-
However. heavy clay loan, If rich
aud highly pulverized, will yield
very heavy crop. but it is very difficult
to pulverize sufficiently, if not well
under-drained.-O Orange Judd Farmer.
Berry Pudding.-Take one cup SUI
gar, two spoons butter, two eggs, one
half cup sweet milk, one teaspoon
baking powder and two cups flour.
Mix smooth and then quickly stir in
three cups of any kind OF berries
Pour into a round deep dish. and
steam one hour. Eat with sauce or
cream. Cream is, of course, desira-
BILE for nearly all buildings. but can
not always be obtained.
Chicken in Cream--Select .
plump, young chicken; clean it nicely
and divide into pieces. Roll or dredge
in -four and fry to a golden brown.
Arrange neatly on a dish and pour
over it dressing made of a cup of
cream brought to the boiling point,
into which are stirred the beaten yelks
| of two eggs. salt and pepper and
| few drops of lemon. being careful that
| it does not curdle or get too thick.
Garnish with parsley, if liked, and
| serve at once.
| The decay of the green food can
| be aided and fastened by the free use

| should be broadcasted over the soil
| after the green material is turned in.
Wood ashes may also be used with adj
vantage. The mineral matter serves
| to assist in the chemical action of the
decomposing material on the soil. and
themselves supply some of the ele-
| ments that may be lacking. Any
amount of lime may be used on land
that is being improved with green
manurial crops, and though the loss
of a year, cost of seed and labor are
important items. yet the benefits de-
rived are immediate and permanent.

seasons.
