A COUNTRY coURTSHIP.

Beauty and BTindl~ and Bess-
Now in the sunlight, now in the shadow,
And now in the winds cares;
With song sweet as at morn the starting

Purple and black are the braided tresses
Her dainty ten pies that C own;
Light is her step on the sward IL presses,

Whistling a love song in broken snatcnes-

Up to their knees IN the stream, the cattle
Drink deep OF its crystal flow;
Little they care for the l"vers' prattle
Or the bliss the twain may know;
Their hesving Sues with their draughts distended
They enter the path again
And crop the grasses with heads low bendel.
On either side of the lane.

must not be neglected or turned out on
the pasture to pick its food. Give II
mess OF oats morning and night. After
grass is plentiful II will need no meal al
noon.
1t is stated that if turnips are fed after
instead OF before milking the odor is not
impaired to the next milking. A tea
spoonful of saltpetre, added TO pail Of
lnkewRrm water, as drink for the COW. is
a remedy for the difficulty when turnips
are fed.
The potato beetle will attack all kinds
of plants when il appears ii the potatoes
are not up. Tomatoes for an early supply
must be examined daily to guard against
the beetle. The beetle will leave the
potato to attack the egg plant, and il will
require but few hours for such plants TO
be entirely destroyed.
Early beets in the garden should be
planted on a plot that has been spaded
deep, as some varieties of beets push
down into the ground. Parsnips and car
rots will become forked if they meet with
distractions below in growing. II the
soil is made very fine and spaded well this
difficulty may be avoided.
The potato leaf rot begins on the leaves
and spreads down to the tubers. The
spores are dropped, or washed by the
rains. The Bordeaux mixture is a pre-
ventive, but the better plan is 10 plant the
| potatoes early, so as TO have the crop out
OF the way before midsummer, at which
time the rot usually begins to appear.
Rye will be the first green food in the
spring. AS the young rye is almost wholly
composed OF water il affords but little nu.
triton, and is very laxative. When turn
/ ing stock on young rye it should be done
as gradually as possible. Only a small
quantity of rye should be eaten at first,
allowing cattle to Craze more as the rye
! grows.
When onions are grown from seed il
may be necessary TO give them at least one
hand wedding until they are large enough
to be worked with the hoe. Such labor
will pay, however, if the land is rich and
there is a prospect of good crop. In this
region it is much better to use the sets,
which are more expensive than seed, but
which gives surer crop.
The hens that do not lay at this season
will probably be found too fat, as there is
a tendency to overfeed in the desire to
force hens to lay after they begin. A hen
that is aging will require plenty OF food,
| but there are usually some in the flock
that are not laying, and they will convert
the food into fat and flesh instead OF into
eggs. 1t will be an advantage to separate
| the laying hens from the others.

EARLY SPRING FARM TALK

some Spring Farm HINTS.

II is important that the use in insecti-
cides for preventing the depredations of
insects should begin just as early in
the season as possible. A delay OF one
week may give the insects an opportunity
in their favor which cannot be overcome
later on. II has been demonstrated that
all arsenical poisons, and especially paris
green and London purple. will be eaten
If the solutions are applied to the trees
at the proper time and in the right man.
ner. One pound of paris green in 30
gallons OF water, or one pound Of London
purple in 400 gallons OF water, are the
proportions. 1t is applied with what is
known as the sprayer, a force pump
adopted so as to throw a fine mist or
spray, which falls on every portion OF the
leaves and blossoms.
Many insects lay their eggs on the BIOS
SONS, and the Larvae soon eat their way
down into the young fruit that forms
from the blossoms. II it gets into the
fruit it is safe from harm, as no insecticides
can be so applied as to reach them. But
when the blossoms are sprayed the young
creatures are compelled to eat the poison,
and are killed. The point to observe is
that the most important time is when the
trees are poisoning, and to avoid mis-
takes the work of spraying the trees
should be done several times, in order
that none Of the blossoms are missed.
The appliances that have been invented
for the purpose OF spraying trees permit
OF the work being done thoroughly, easily
and quickly. BY attending to such duty
| not only will the larger portion of the
| fruit be saved, but the number of insects
reduced, thus lessening the labor next
| season.
The Bordeaux mixture, so frequently
given, is also applied 10y the sprayer, and
unless the work is done as early as posi-
ble the time will be lost. For grapevines
the spraying should be done ten days be-
fore The ossoms appear, and also just
after bossoming, as well as several times
while the grapes are growing. One mix
ture is prepared by dissolving one pound
of sulphate of copper i'll three gallons OF
hot water, and when cold a pint of am
monia is added, the whole reduced with
twenty-five gallons of water. This is
known as the ammonia and copper solu
ton, and di~penses with the lime, Will
the Bordeaux mixtures requires lime,
which is Objectionable to some. AL
| p ants upon which fungi appear, or are
liable to appear, should be sprayed, and
| the sooner it is done the better.

There should also e LAYER of sand in

'egg bread" or "pone egg" Mix together
liberal cup and half OF Indian meal,
half a cup of flour, teaspoonful of salt,
and two teaspoonfuls of sugar; add a cup
OF milk in which scant teaspoonful OF
soda has been stirred; then add two eggs
and cup of sour milk or cream il you
have il. Beat the batter vigorously. Put
a tablespoonful of butter into hot iron
spider of modern size; it should be
just large enough to bake cake the
size OF a breakfast plate. AS soon as the
butter melts turn the spider hither and
thither, so that every part OF it is well
creased inside. and turn the batter into
it. Have ready another cup OF sweet
milk, pour this into the center of the
cake, holding it close TO the cake in pour
ing; but do not stir it after adding this
last cup of milk, but put the spider at
once in a hot oven. 1t will be baked
ready 10 serve in about twenty-five or
thirty minutes. Lift the spider out care
FULLY with thick dish-towel to keep the
hot handle from burning your hand, and
loosen the cake at the sides with a case
knife, and with broad, thin-bladed
knife or pancake-turner slip it out whole
on plate. When it is cut the last cup of
mi K added will be found in delicious
creamy veins running through il.
A Johnny cake is one OF the beet OF
corn-cakes. To make one put three cups
of yellow corn meal to soak with three
cups of sour milk over night. In the
morning add half a cup OF flour, two
tablespoonfuls OF molasses, one beaten
egg, a teaspooniul OF salt, and finally a
liberal tea~poonful of soda dissolved in a
little milk. Beat the batter thoroughly for
several minutes and pour it into shallow
creased baking-pans bake it in quick
oven. 1t should be only about an inch
and half thick when done. 1t has con-
siderable crust.
The most delicious mullins are made as
follows. They are tender and delicate in
texture, and as excellent with coffee and
eggs as any bread can be. Beat two
heaped tablespoonfuls of butter to a cream
with four tablespoonfuls of sugar; add the
We ks of three eggs, and then two cups OF
milk in which a teaspoonful OF soda has
been dissolved. Silt together twice cup
and half of -four and liberal cup OF
corn meal, with two table spOonfuls OF
cream-tartar, and add the mixture to the
other ingredients. Beat the batter very
thoroughly; add the whites of the two
eggs beaten to a stiff froth, and pour the
mixture into little timbale molds to bake
or inroregular uuffin-pans. The dariole
or timbale molds, which cost about 81 a
dozen, make exceedingly nice mullins,
having little hard crusts. They are a
little thicker than ordinary mullins and
are shaped like those seen in our best
bake-shops.

CORN MEAL PREPARATIONS.
How to Bake Bred, Cakes, Pones and
Mullins

How to Bake Bred, Cakes, Pones and
Mufins
There are great many varieties of corn
cakes that are deliciously made Of the
sweet white meal of the South which
cannot be made properly from the kiln
dried yellow meal obtained in northern
cities-or, indeed, of yellow meal at all.
The process of drying Indian or corn
meal in the kiln renders it hard and
favorless, but it will keep an indefinite
length OF time while the old meal must
be ground fresh every few DAYS, and is q
considerable trouble to the grocer. Peo-
pie living in the country near an old-time
grist mill can often get meal that is fresh
ground and has tn sweet flavor that corn
meal should have. On account of the
differences in the quality OF northern and
southern corn the white meal is the best
and sweetest at the South and the yellow
meal is the best at the North. Recipes
that apply TO the southern meal cannot
well be used with the northern meal be-
cause the two varieties are so different.
Our yellow meal requires more eggs and a
little sugar or molasses but q delicious
bread can be made from white meal at the
South with the addition OF water and
shortening alone. Three rules for cakes
made of yellow northern meals are here
with given that are to be recommended as
the very best OF their kind.
The first is a cake baked In an iron
spider and served whole on the table,
rich, crispy, brown and deliciously ten
