HAM should be broiled very quickly,
and just enough to cook through.
TIN cleaned with paper will shine bet,
ter than when cleaned with flannel.
FLOWERS can be kept fresh for some
time if o pinch of soda or saltpeter is
added to the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness if dipped min
ute or two in hot water.
CHEESE which will instantly and in
tensely redden blue litmus paper should
not be eaten. This is test easy of sp-
plication, and every merchant on cut
ting fresh cheese should make it. If
the cheese is dry, bit of it should be
moistened with water and the litmus
paper then applied.
BOILED custard requires patience and
care. If the eggs reach the boiling
point, they will break, and yet if they
do not reach it within one or two de-
gress, the custard will not thicken, and
will taste raw, and lack the exquisite
thick smoothness Of we'll made custard.
To produce this, yet avoid curdling,
therefore, patience, and proceed as fol-
lows: Stir the mixture over moderate
fire. When you see from the end of the
spoon that it begins to thicken at the
bottom draw it to cooler spot where il
will not boil, stir half minute, then
return to the hotter spot. Do this sew
eral times, checking the approach to
boiling point each time there is danger,
until the whole of the mixture has
reached that point which may be known
by it being rich, thick, and perfectly
opaque.

THE PoULTRx-YARD.
Poultry Notes.

A DRY place is the proper place for
grain.
POULTRY like an occasional feed of
barley; have you any to feed themf II
you have feed little.
Fowls that ere oyerfed are not
healthy, neither will they lay eggs regu-
larly. Some farmers feed too much,
and, what is worse, don't know it,
Fowls to be healthy and in good lay
ing condition should not be overfed.
The value of bran, potatoes, cabbage,
carrots and turnips mixed with mid
dlings, barley meal, and corn meal is
only known to an experienced poultry
man.
IT is unreasonable to expect hens to
lay in cold weather when you do not
feed them heating food nor try to shut
out dampness from their laying house.
Show us damp house, we will pick out
roup from the fowls, and bad cases too.
IT is Just as easy to start flock of
ducks this spring ss to do without them;
certainly it will pay You and not take
much of your time either. Young ducks
reach five pounds at ten weeks old, and
will thrive on food that would kill q
chicken. Like every fowl, they pay
best when we'll fed and cared for.
RoUP is q mean disease and kills many
valuable fowls every year. An ointment
made of one tablespoonful each Of lard
and kerosene and twenty drops of car
bolic acid, melted together and applied
twice day with the finger on the
the part affected will cure. II you have
never tried this it is worth trial.

he never took the time 60 test them;
even his barnyard stock would be long

The Season for Grapes.

The introduction of new varieties of
grapes has greatly heightened the sea-
son for this fruit. 1t has made it longer
at both ends, especially for late keep
ing. Forty years ago Isabella and
Catawba were about the only grapes
known to succeed in the Northern
States, and over great section Of the
country neither would ripen perfectly
one year in five. The introduction of
early grapes was the first demand. Most
of these were of foxy or musky flavor,
but their earliness covered multitude
of minor imperfections. 1t was thought
wonderful thing to have grapes that
would ripen every season, however poor
in quality. In time new varieties We're
introduced free from some of these OBJ
jectionable fayors, and which yet would
ripen every year. The crossing OF
foreign grapes on the wild natives was
made by E. s. Rogers, Of Salem, Mass,
and these Rogers Hybrids, as they were
called, opened q new era Of grape grow
ing. some of these varieties are very
early, and nearly all will ripen whore
Isabella and Catawba will not. The
Wilder, Barry, Agawam, and Salem
grapes are also excellent keepers, the
three first named especially. We have
seer the Wilder grape in good eating
condition the hast Of April, and have
kept the Agawam and Barry nearly as
long. Where the Catawba will ripen
that also is d good keeper. 1t is es-
sential to good keeping that the grape
be ripe when put up. Ripe grapes have
proportion Of sugar which helps to
preserve them. Grapes not fully ripe
are apt to mould or ferment, no matter
how carefully they may be kept

The Chinaman,s Hell.

Thus runs Chinese description of
the sixth court of hell in which all Of
tenders are pun ished: The sixth court
of hell is situated at the bottom of the
great ocean north of Wuchio rock. It
is vast noisy ghenna, many leagues in
extent, and around it are sixteen wards,
or ante-hells. In the first ward the
sinful soul is made to kneel for long
periods on hot iron shots; in the second
they are placed up to their necks in
filth; in the third they are pounded till
the blood runs out; in the fourth their
mouths are opened with red hot pinch
ers and filled with needles; in the fifth
they are inclosed in net of thorns and
nipped by poisonous locusts; in the
seventh the flesh and bones are crushed
to jelly, all except the head; in the
eighth the head is denuded of the skin
and the flesh beaten on the raw; in the
ninth the mouth is filed with fire; in
the tenth the pounded flesh off OF the
body is licked and roasted by sui
phurous flames; In the eleventh the
nostrils are subjected to all loathsome
smells known to their tormentors; in
the twelfth they are to be butted by
rams, oxen and buffaloes, and at last
subject to crushing pressure by being
trampled by horses; in the thirteenth
the heart will be taken out and skinned;
in the fourteenth the skull will be
rubbed with sandstone until it has been
entirely worn from the jelly-like mass
which was once the body; in the fif-
teenth the body will be separated in
the middle and carried with the bare,
bleeding ends sitting on red hot plates,
to the sixteenth ward, where the skin
will be removed, dried and rolled up,
after having written upon it all the sin.
full deeds done by the soul while an in
habitant Of the feshy body; after that
the body will be consigned to the

Mr.. SIM .BowLEs, who lives in
Mitchell County, GA, was walking
around his mill pond, which is situated
at the forks Of two creeks. In his pere-
CARNATIONS he came across cave. Lead
ing from it through the earth was ap-
parently large burrow. He obtained
pole and began investigating. The
cave and burrow extended some twenty
feet. He dug into it, and between five
or six feet beneath the surface he came
to seven alligators. They were large,
old rusty fellows, ranging from four to
ten feet in length. They were sound
asleep, enjoying their winter nap in &C
cordance with the queer habit of these
alternating saurians. They were
promptly dispatched. There is an old
belief that when the alligators find the
winter approaching they gobble down q
number of pine knots to fill up their
aching voids, and then take their
lengthy siesta. Mr.. Bowles thought
this would be good opportunity to test
this belief, and accordingly one of the
reptiles was cut open. Within it was
several fat ightwood knots, and now
Mr.. Bowles is ready to tes tify to the
truth of this theory as to the capacity
Of the alligator for digesting the knots
Of the pine while slumbering through
the winter months.

rye for En.ilage.

o. B. Potter, of New York City, writes
in the Husbandmdn an interesting let
ter about rye for ensilage. He finds the
chief difficulty with rye is that if cut
early, as it should be to be of good
flavor, it is too wet and needs an absorb
ent. For this purpose he recommends
dried clover cut fine, and mixed SO that
the whole mass will be equally moist.
Then it can be compacted, and will be
easily preserved if properly covered.
Mr.. Potter finds that rye cut for ensilage
is an excellent preparation in seeding to
grass. The cutting is done in May, just
when the young rye needs sun and air
to make strong growth. By leaving
the first joint next the ground uncut q
new growth springs up, from which he
has often harvested one-half to two
thirds of crop of grain, with proper
tionate straw, which ID excellent fo1
bedding. To seed timothy with rye fol
ensilage is the best method Of securing
certain and strong stand of grass, and
without loss of the use of the land while
it was growing.
