BRAIsED BEEF.

Take four or five pounds of the round
of beef and season it with salt, pepper,
a little chopped parsley, and a scant tea
spoonful of thyme, and tieup compactly.
Fry out some slices of fat salt pork in a
deep pot and brown the beef in this,
turning on every side, for about half an
hour. Dredge rlentifully with flour,
using fully half cup; add wineglass
Of vinegar, two cloves and half bay
leaf. Cover closely and cook slowly two
hours. At the end of this time, add one
carrot, one turnip and one onion cut in
thick slices, also half pint of hot
water; cover and cook two hours longer,
simmering slowly. Take up the meat,
remove the strings, skim all the fat from
the gravy, and if not thick enough stir
in more flour. Serve the sliced vegeta-
bles on the same platter with the meat.
Braising is strictly intended to be done
in the oven, and braising pan is one
with a tightly fitting cover; but in the
absence of such a ulelsil it may be done
on the outside of the stove, If the pot is
80 covered that no steam can escape

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Hunger and thirst are life, safety and
abundance death.
Sorrow is heavy burden, sadness a
heavier, but heaviest is anger.
Humor usually tends toward good ma
ture, and everything that tends toward
good nature tends toward good grace.
Experience keeps a dear school, but
fools will learn in no other. If you do
not hear reason, she will rap your knuck-
les.
Noble examples stir US up to noble &C
tions, and the very history of large and
public souls inspires man with generous
thoughts.
Whatever anyone does or says, Imust
be good; just as if the gold: or the eme-
raid, Or the purple were always saying
this: "Whatever anyone else does, l
must be emerald and keep my color"
Laws cannot prevent extravaganza; {;
and perhaps it is not always an evil to
the public. A shilling spent idly by a
fool may be picked up by wise person,
who knows better what to do with it; it
is, therefore, not lost.
Do not think of your faults; still less
of Others faults; il every person who
comes near you, look for what is good
and strong; honor that; rejoice in it;
and, as you can, try to initiate it; and
your faults will drop off like dead leaves,
when their time comes

Use OF THE WHIP.

The whip should be utterly abolished
as weapon for compelling the service Of
trained draught animals. It is useful in
the training when rightly used for the
purpose of teaching subjection and di-
recting the movements of young animals.
A colt may be touched with it, but never
punished or struck in anger. Anger
should never be aroused in any animal,
much less in the man who is engaged in
teaching his colt to work. A colt prop
erly trained from its birth will have no
vicious propensities that need to be
whipped out of him. When it is. first
saddled or harnessed it needs to be taught
that there is nothing to fear, and If
mounted by boy and led by an older
person until it learns what is to be done,
it may need to be touched by a light
whip, if it has not already been taught
to lead, or, if in harness. it has not al
ready been used to the lightcst work. 1t
would fully double the usefulness and
value of all our working animals if the
whip were abolished altogether as a
weapon of punishment and used only for
the purpose of guidance, and the drivers
understood their business as we'll as the
animals which have been properly trained
to it. A trained driver is rs necessary
as trained team.-New York Times.

The Butcher Plant.

A fascinating plant now being propa-
gated a. the Botanical Garden II Wash
ington, is the "butcher," which kills
the insects and such things tEat it feecs
upon by crushing them alive, afterward
consuming them at its leisure. This is
considered to be OF all vegetables the one
exhibiting an intelligence most nearly
approaching that which animals possess.
It's appearance is not impressive save for
its peculiarity. Growing along the
ground it has for leaves little green
things SNAPPED like open clam shells, the
biggest Of them half an inch long, with
a row of little spikes around each edge.
As you observe the plant, most OF the
clam shells will be open, waiting for
food-each of them greedy mouth
ready to devour anything that may crawl
in. Here comes an ant. Perhaps ne will
walk into one of these pairs of yawning
Jaws. Yes, there he goes into the big
one, attracted by the sugary excretion on
the inside of the miniature clam she'll,
which serves for a bait. The victim
reaches the middle point between the
Jaws and comes in contact with SIX mi
croscopic hairs that grow inside the clam
shell leaf and serve the plant as feelers.
Immediately the jaws close with snap,
the two rows of spikes folding over the
shut edge of the clam shell, so as to give
the prey no chance of escape. II the In
sect was much bigger and stronger than
an ant he would be quickly crushed to
death. 1t may be some hours before the
jaws will open again, the clam.shell
leaf being occupied meanwhile digest
ing the food captured. All the
leaves of the plant being engaged con-
tinually in waiting for prey, catching it
and digesting it, it makes a very good
living indeed where bugs are plentiful.
In the green houses there are compare
lively few insects, however, and so the
head gardener feeds his butcher plant
from day to day with such delicacies as
finly chopped or scraped beefsteak and
earth worms cut up, which are devoured
with relish. The butcher plant is found
in North Carolina, and nowhere else in
the world. Fears are entertained that
it will pass out of existence before long,
for there is very little of it existing g in
wild state and attempts to raise it from
seed have not thus far been very success
full. A curious thing about it is that it
will have regular fits of dyspepsia, if
such indigestibles as salt pork or the
heads of blue-bottle flies are fed to it.
The clam-shell leaves will turn black and
die after consuming that sort of food. One
evidence of the intelligence of the plant
is afforded by the judgment it exhibits
in its diet. If piece of paper just the
size of fly is introduced between a pail
of the jaws they will close greedily upon
it, but will Immediately open again, the
discovery having evidently been made
that the capture was not edible.-Globs
Democrat.

PREPARING SOD GROUND FOR CORN.

PREPARING SOD GROUND FOR CORN.
Leaying out of consideration the ques-
ton of plowing sod in the fall, if it is
plowed in the spring, it is best done as
soon as the ground is in good condition.
Sod ground can be plowed earlier than
fallow, stubblc or corn-stalk ground, and
the sod will have none too long to par
italy decompose before the corn is
planted.
A good plow for stubble or fallow land
is one that moves the furrow-slice with
considerable force, breaking it up; but
such a plow is not fit one for sod
ground, for it will leave parts of the fur
row-slice lying with the grass up, and
other parts standing on edge. The har-
row will then leave many pieces with the
grass up, to grow again. The best plow
for sod is one that turns the furrow-slice
completely upside down, and no more,
without breaking it. Then the plowed
ground can be fined without bringing
grass to the surface to grow again.
Sod requires more work than stubble
to put in good condition for the seed,
and the loss from planting on sod not
we'll prepared is greater than on stubble.
Unless the ground is thoroughly worked
there will be crevices among and beneath
the sods, which will aggravate the effects
of both drouth and food. The pieces of
sod will constantly interfere with cultiva-
ton, and if one of these pieces is beneath
hill the corn will likely be torn up by
the cultivator. Neither will the sod be
so we'll decomposed and feed the crop.
Another reason for careful preparation
of the sod is that it is often infested
with cut worms and other worms. The
more the ground is stirred, the more of
these will be destroyed; and planting
may safely be deferred until the cut.
worms have passed their voracious period
and will do little damage. Quite fire.
quently sod ground, and especially Glow
er-sod ground, contains so many cut
worms that it is not advisable to plant it
until quite late. Only poor stand will
remain. Last spring I allowed forty
acre clover-sod field to lie month after
it was almost ready for the planter. One
of the employees became very impatient,
and thought was wrong not to plant at
once, as some of my neighbors had done.
But much of their corn was cut off by the
worms, and they had only poor stand,
with some hills month behind the 9th
ers. When planted I had most ex-
cellent stand and the field averaged
eighty bushels, shelled, per acre. On
sod ground thoroughly prepared corn
grows so fast that it is safe to defer
planting until quite late, and this ground
is not apt to be hardened by rains as is
other ground.-American AgricuHurist.

RAISING HORsERAD1sH.

Here, where horseradish is grown
largely tor market, we have deep allu-
vial soil, free from stone or clay-a good
sandy loan. The custom is to raise the
crop on the same land year after year, as
the sell is not easily rid of the rootlets
that break off and remain, sprouting in
spring sometimes from the bottom of the
furrow where the plow cut them off in
the fall. We never raise the first crop
on sod, but always after other crops.
Moisture is necessary, but not damp
soil. We use horse-manure, ten cords
per acre, plowed in fall or spring and
narrowed we'll. Rows are three feet
apart and sets two feet apart in the
row. The sets are obtained in this way ::
When crop of radish is gathered in fall
the roots are trimmed of ''spragles," "
leaving the marketable root ready for
sale; this is done in the field usually, or
it can be done under cover and shelter
if the weather be cold or stormy. These
small rootlets, one-half to one-fourth inch
through, sets for next seasons crop,
are kept over winter by burylng in the
ground, where only they will preserve
the freshness necessary to perfect growth.
A sett is root three to eight inches long,
and should be dropped in hole made
with a crowbar of the right depth to
leave the top of the root two inches be-
low the surface; fill the soil around the
sett, and Leave it to start, which it will
do in four to six weeks. This work of
planting in spring is sometimes expe-
dited by laying the sets along in every
third furrow, snd then blowing the soil
upon them. The large roots should not
be used to propagate from, either by
slcing, quartering, or even by planting
the crown; the root when grown takes
III shape from the sett; and root dug
ster one seasons growth should be
about ten inches long and two inches

FLOWING.

When the ground has been we'll
plowcd in the fall it is not always neces-
sary to p!ow again in the spring before
planting. A gooG cultivation will stir
the soil sufficiently deep for planting and
the harrow will work into proper tiltn
for planting the seed. In addition to
the saving of the work by this
plan there is the advantage of having the
trash buried so deep that it will not be
disturbed either in preparing the land for
planting or in cultivating.
With all cultivated crops it is quite an
item to have the soil clean and IN good
tilth so that the cultivation can be COM
menced as soon as possible. Work is al
ways pressing in the spring and it is not
only an item to save time but also to get
the work done in good season, and with
the ground we'll plowed in advance by
using the plow and cultivator a good
tilth can be secured with much less work
than would be necessary if the ground
must first be plowed and then worked in
to good tilth, while the results will be
fully as satisfactory.-Ne5rasta Farmer.

lien SETTING.

Years of experience have satisfied many
that the best results from setting hens are
obtained when they are left to them
selves. The making of desirable nests is
of much Importance to successful hatch
ing of eggs; there are various styles OF
nests which have met with the very best
of results. We have had excellent re-
suits by making a nest with two inches
of sand for the bottom, then place hay
or straw cut short to prevent the hens
feet from catching in it and injuring the
eggs; hollow the nest only enough to
prevent the eggs from rolling out in
front, sprinkle thoroughly with insect
powder, then you are ready to give the
hen possession. Place her on the nest at
night, and if necessary darken the box
by hanging a cloth in front until she sets
steadily. Do not forget to feed, water
and supply the setting hen with a good
dust bath, and see that they are well
cared for.
If you intend to breed thoroughbred
poultry get the best, for it costs no more
to feed, keep and house choice stock than
it does the common mongrels, and there
is great difference in their looks and
usefulness. 1t is waste of time and
money to breed and feed poor fowls,
when good ones can be had at fair
prices.
Use every means to tame your birds
some breeds arc more easily tanned than
others, but if you keep your poultry as
tame as house dog they will lay more
eggs, and will also lay on more flesh than
if you had to chase them about every time
you wanted to look them over.-P0ultry

MUTTON OUTLETS.

A way to serve cold mutton is to
cut it in nice pieces or ''cutlcts" about
half an inch thick. Dip these, after
being well salted and pcppered, in melted
butter, and lay them aside until cold.
Then dip them in egg and bread crumbs,
and fry them in little beef dripping
until brown on both sides. Lay each
piece on some brown grocer's paper to
absorb the grease, arrange on a platter
and pour white sauce over them. This
sauce is made by thickening a pint of
milk with a heaping tablespoonful OF
-four, mixed with some cold milk reserved
from the pint. Salt and pepper. The
mutton may be egged and predetermined
early in the day, and at dinner time,
after the sauce is made, it will take but
a few minutes to fry the outlets. They
should be served very hot.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Ripe tomatoes will remove ink stains
from white clothes and also from the
hands.
Never put away food on tin plates.
China, earthenware or glass are the only
receptacles for left overs.
If SCOT falls upon the carpet or rug
cover quickly with dry salt before
sweeping and not a stain will be left.
A little borax put in the water in
which scarlet napkins and red bordered
towels are washed will prevent them
from fading.
- To cool hot dish in hurry set in a
vessel of cold salted water. This will
extract the heat much more rapidly than
fresh water.
A small box filled with lime and placed
OF shelf in the pantry or closet, will
absorb dampness and keep the air in the
closet sweet and dry.
Plush goods and all articles dyed with
aniline colors faded by exposure to light,
can be made as bright as ever by spong-
ing with chloroform.
Instead of wetting biscuits to be
warmed over, put them in the oven close
ly covered with tin. They will be al
most as good as when first baked.
Rub lamp chimneys with newspaper on
which has been poured little kerosene.
This will make them much clearer than
if soapi is used; they will also be less liza
BILE to crack.
In putting away silver that is not to be
used for a considerable time, place it in
an air-tight case with good sized piece
of camphor. It will keep bright for
months In this way.
There should always be plenty of good
kitchen aprons, which protect the
dresses so much. Long-sleeyed and
high-necked sack aprons for children
should be kept on them while at play or
at the table.
When the glass globes of chandeliers
have become smoked and grimy, soak
them in hot water to which little sal
soda has been added. Then put some
ammonia into hot water, enter the globes
= and scrub briskly with stiff brush.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
The old fashioned idea that burning
sulphur is disinfectant is pronounced
by physicians of the present day to apply
only to the rooms and closets of q house,
but will not answer for clothing and
blankets, which should be washed in q
solution of carbolic acid and left IN the
air for several days.
To take iron rust out of white goods
pour teacupful of boiling water, stretch
the goods tightly across the top of it;
then pour on little of the solution OF
oxilic acid dissolved in water and rub it
with the edge of a teaspoon or anything.
If it does not come out at once, dip II
down into the hot water and rub itagain
