Making Pork Too Fat.

The evil of overwhelming pork is
less common than it used to De Two
reasons have combined to make lean
meat more popular. The doctors
taught that it was more healthfm and
nutritious than the fat, and about the
same time the use of other oils deereas-

fat pork was neither profitable nor

Pea Vine or Large Glover.

For crop to pasture, to rot on the
land or to pillow under for manure, the
pea-vine clover is superior to the
medium or small variety. But it makes
very coarse hay, which can hardly
be cured without heating or getting
wet before it is drawn in. Thus kept,
cattle and sheep reject the butts much
as they do the coarse butts of corn
stalks. Considering the extra trouble
there is in curing the large variety,
the smaller is preferable for hay. In
fact, it will probably give more feed
in first and second crop than the large
kind. Owing to its stronger growth,
the pea vino is less liable to winter
kill than the common variety of clover

When we wish to extract Juices from
anything we put it in cold water, and
let it gradually reach the boiling point;
so when we wish the viands to retain
their juices, and use the water only as
medium for cooking them, the oppo-
site course must be pursued.
Here are two things to remember
when cooking either veal or pork:
they should be cooked so thoroughly
that the lean part will be white and
firm, and they should never be boiled
unless first well salted. With pork
there should be served some kind of
farinaceous vegetable, like rice, pota-
toes or hominy.

Soft water should be used in cooking
vegetables, and the only way city folks
can soften water is to add a little salt

a teaspoonful of salt to the water; tur-

same, that is, a teaspoonful of salt to a
quart of water. If any skum should

vegetables are boiling, it must be care.

1Garly-bearing Grapes.

Grape vines of two, three or more
years old are often bought with the
idea that they will come earlier into
bearing than those younger and of
moderate size. There are so many
branches, each with several buds capa-
bic of producing a shoot for the COM
Ing year, that the planter supposes
himself to have a sure thing on grapes
If he can make the vine live. But
with top disproportioned in size to
the root, as such a vine is sure to be.
the result is always most unsatisfac-
tory. Each bud will start, it is true;
but the sap divided among so many
shoots gives each only feeble growth.
1t there are blossom germs hidden in
the buds, they will blast either before
or after blossoming, and produce no
fruit In fact, and old, overgrown
vine will not SO soon get into bearing,
thus treated, as will the smallest year
ling vine from which only one shoot is
allowed to push the first year, and
which is cut back to one or at most
two buds the second season. Thus
concentrated, the sap makes strong
cane, capable of supporting two or
three clusters of grapes, and the year
after becoming the trunk, from which
large numbers of shoots, each with
its burden of clusters, may be borne.
A vine thus treated is much less liable
to disease than one neglected in prun-
ing. Trying to grow too many punches
is q frequent cause of mildew, and
even if this is not the case, the
punches are small, and weight of fruit
less than it would be with closer prun-
ing and fewer punches.

Farm Notes.

OF aid grains oats stand first as the
best for purposes of feeding.
Calves should have water, and young
pigs should also be well supplied.
Milk is not substitute for water.
One mode of disposing of surplus
poultry is to can it. This country
produces enormous quantities of poul-
try, and we should be able to export q
portion.
The cost of farm is not the heav-
lest expense to the beginner. The
outlay fer horses; cattle. machinery,
utensils and extra labor the first year
is often more than the cost of the
farm.
Look over the vegetable seeds that
are stored away. They should be kept
dry. and as mice may destroy them
the seeds shouli be protected by sus-
pending the bags or thy inclosing them
in a tin box.
Whitemasa should be used il order
to render the stables cheerful. A light
stable is more comfortable than g dark
one. and as the lime partially serves
to disinfect the building its appieaaion
shoald be frequent.
Rules may be made for governing
the dairy work, but there can be no
rule made for feeding the cows in re-
gard to quantity of food. Each COW
will have her special demands, and
they mugt be complied with.
Mulch around the young trees as
soon as the ground is frozen This will
prevent the ground from thawing too

Regular Hours for Feeding
The advantage Of good feeding de-
ponds much on regularity. II supplies
are furnished at irregular hours, not
only are animals kept uneasy, but
their digestion is injured and they can
not thrive. Here is the great advant-
age of herbivorous animals over those
of carnivorous habit. Flesh-eaters
gorge themselves when they capture
their prey, and then suffer from hunger
until their next capture. This keeps
them always thin in flesh, as they have
to be to hunt well.

Ii you cannot procure meat for your

food for 200 hens is sufficient. Milk is
also an excellent substitute for meat,

gives zest to the appetite and stimu-
lates digestion.
A poultry yard can properly be the
dumping ground for a great deal of
vegetable rubbish, to give the occu-
pants exercise in scratching and to
convert the rubbish into manure or
mulch. A ton of weeds, straw, leaves,
salt or bog hay, sea-weed or cornstalks
will soon be scratched fine in popu-
lous poultry-yard. The weather assists,
of course.

WHO ARE MEMBERS.

Again and again the question comes to
us, "How can we get rid Of members of
an alliance who do not conform to the
constitution"
Again we reply, you do not have to get
rid of them. They are not members. The
Constitution defines membership. Noac
tion Of an alliance can modify the state
constitution. No alliance can therefore
remove member because he is not a
member. At any moment when a man
ceases to live upon farm, and to get the
bulk of his living therefrom, he ceases to
be member-not by action of an alliance
but action of the Constitution. Any al
lance that keeps non-eligible member
ship can be denied admission to the state
alliance. This is not our personal YER
,dict-it is the constitution. This may
drop some very good men-but if they
are ''good''' men, they will not be SO sell
fish as to open wide the doors to the polit-
ician, the land agent, the money broker,
the loan agent, etc, ETC., solely for his
own pleasure. The alliance has dis
tinctly legal organization. In order to
get it's party into the politics Of this state
it must conform to the laws of the
Australian system.
And hence we repeat, you do not have
to drop men who become ineligible-the
constitution does that for you.-TNe
