To Press Ferns.

Place the fronds to be pressed smoothly,
one by one, in the layers of newspaper,
putting at least three thicknesses of paper
between the fronds. Arrange the latter
with their points all the same way, for
the pressure will sometimes leave the
dent of the thicker part of the stack of
one fern across the delicate tip of an
other. Ferns with especially coarse
stems should be pressed in a pile by
themselves for the same reason. The
book covers or boards, with the pile of
fern filled papers into them, should be
placed under Il heavy weight; the next
day the ferns should be taken out, one
by one, and placed in fresh papers with
the same care as before. The papers
first used can be spread to dry, and
again used for the next days change.
1t will not be necessary then to change
again for three or four days, and after
that they may rest undisturbed for a
week, or, still better, for two weeks.
When taken out they should be kept in
flat pile till wanted for use, to prevent
them from curling up.-Good House.

Piano Tuners are All Nerves.

The plano tuner who Is a man has
not learned from books. He has grown
up with the piano as a boy in the fac
tory and knows it at every stage. His
ear is attuned to those fine differences
that are essential to the best of sort of
piano tunning, and his appreciation of
them is almost like an instinct. To
catch these he is always on the alert.
Every sound detracts him, child's cry,
birds chirp. The constant wear and
tear engenders nervous irritability; he
becomes bundle of nerves, and the dis
tance from thence to crankiness is not
far. 1t is this strain on the nerves, rather
than the muscular strength required.
that makes piano tuning a discouraging
occupation for women. The muscular
strength required in holding up the
strings is considerable, but women
could stand it much better. Another
obstacle to women's success as piano
tuners is that they are not mechanics.
A man tuning piano Is expected to
remedy the creaking pedal and anything
else amiss that can be done without
sending it to the shop. This his prev
ious experience enables him to do. AL.
together it seems that women piano
tuners could hardly compete with men,
but in remote places might find their
ervices valuable.-New York Sun.

RECIPES.

Rice Cakes-To one teacup Of soft
boiled rice add pinch of salt, the yolk
of an egg, two tablespoons OF flour, and
enough sweet cream or milk to make it
the consistency of sponge cake; when
ready for the oven stir in the we'll beaten
white of one egg. Bake in muffin rings.
Balloon Muffins-Take one pint of
flour, half pint of water and half PITT
of milk; beat thoroughly with an egg
bsater; have gem irons hot, grease and
fill them two. thirds full. Bake in quick
oven twenty minutes, or until light and
Drowned. Use no salt or baking powder.
Ham Omelet-Bcat halt dozen eggs
separately, very light. Have ready
spider with three tablespoons of hot but
ter and then pour in the eggs. Let them
brown on the bottom and on top, then
spread over it cup of finely chopped
ham; fold the omelet over, take up and
serve Immediately.
Canned Peaches Make syrup of one
quart of water and one pound of granu-
lated sugar, skim. Pare and halve
enough peaches for one can, dropping
each half at once into cold water to pre-
vent discoloration. Drain the peaches,
drop them into the syrup aud boil
slowly till they can be easily pierced
with silver fork. Lift each piece
carefully and put in the can, then fill
it quickly with the hot syrup and seal.
Enough peaches can be prepared and
dropped into water for second can
while those for the first one are cooking.
Delicious Peach Pudding-Fill pud-
ding dish with whole peeled peaches and
pour over them two cups of water.
Cover closely .and bake until the
peaches are tender, after which drain
the juice from them ard let stand until
cool. Add to the juice one pint of
sweet milk, four well.beaten eggs, a
small cup of flour with one teaspoonful
of baking powder sifted into it, one cup
of sugar, one tablespoonful of melted
butter and little salt. Beat we'll for
three or four minutes, then pour over
the peaches. Bake until rich brown
and serve with cream.
Baked Apple Dumpling-Pare and
chop very fine half dozen nice, large
acid apples. Mix with this one and a
half cups of sugar. Make nice pastry,
to which if there be added small pinch
of soda it will be much better for the
dumpling; roll this quite thin and cut
in four-inch squares; fill these with the
chopped apples and sugar; close and
stand in baking bowl which holds
about a gallon. Add half teacup of
butter; fill the bowl to the brim with
boiling water, pouring it in carefully.
Set in a hot oven and allow them to bake
half an hour. When removed from the
oven add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla.
These are delicious, eaten no. or cold.
More sugar may be added if desired.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t is better to prune in the fall than in
the spring.
Pears should never be allowed to be-
come eatable on the trees.
There is no need of sending select fruit
to market if it is not carefully packed.
The fowls kept for breeding should be
the best of the whole flock, carefully
selected.
1t will never do any harm to cut off
the dead wood or a crossing limb of
fruit tree.
After pear trees have arrived at the
bearing age, there should be but very
little trimming done.
Hay and fruit cannot be very we'll
grown on the same land, and especially
is this true in the case with apples.
1t is better to prevent the growth that
you do not want than it is to wait until
the wood is made and then cut 1t off.
Cochins, Brahmas, Wyandottes, Leg
horns and Dominiques all have yellow
legs, which is an advantage in market
fowl.
Late hatched pullets should be
pushed to maturity. .Unless we'll ma
tused before cold weather pullets will
not lay until spring.
Turkeys are in their glory now, and
they secure plenty of insects while torag-
ing. The farmer cannot realize the
good they do in this way.
It very frequently happens that eggs
are soiled when collected. Wash them
before marketing, and the chances are
that better price will be obtained.
Good butter will always bring good
plice. If farmers would only think of
quality instead of quantity, they would
be able to make more profit from the
cows.
After the moulting season begins
prices are generally low, for the reason
that the hens quit laying and are sent to
market on this account. Often by wait
ing until the rush is over better prices
may be realized.

DIGEsTIBlLITY OF FISH.

The red blooded fish, such, for in.
stance, as salmon, herring and mackerel,
are highly nutritious but not EASILY
digested, partly because of the amount
of fat distributed through the flesh.
White fish, such as cod, haddock, tur.
bot, halibut, and founder, contain com.
parativeiy little fat, and that mostly in
the liver. They are easy of digestion
and possess a delicate flavor. When in
season and just from their native element
they are delicious and make excellent
food for the sick on account of this ease
of digestion.
When Fish Are in Season-Cod, all the
year; haddock, all the year; cusk, win.
ter; halibut, all the year; founders, all
the year; salmon, May to September;
shad, spring; blueash, June to October;
whitefsh, winter; swordfsh, July to
September; smelts, September to March; |;
perch, spring and summer; mackerel,
April to October; oysters, September to
May clans, all the year.
How to Broil Fish Small fish such as
perch and scrod young cody are excel
lent broiled. After the fish is cleaned,
washed and wiped, split it lengthwise
if it is thick, sprinkle on salt and pep
per, squeeze over it some drops of lemon
juice, dip it in melted butter aud broil
over clear Goals, quickly at first and then
very slowly, allowing ten minutes for
each inch of thickness. Serve with but
ter cream.
To Make Butter Cream-Cream some
butter in bowl, season it with salt,
cayenne, lemon juice and vinegar. A
teasponful of butter is enough for an
ordinary small fish such as perch, aud
to season it speck of cayenne, speck
of salt and half teaspoonful each of
vinegar and lemon juice will be good
proportions. Spread it on the fish to
melt and run over it or serve separately
in little ball on glass butter plate. A
nice addition to the butter is little
finely minced parsley or chopped pickles,
such as cucumbers or olives, or the three
mixed if they are at hand.
Creamed Fish-To make creamed fish,
any white fish which flakes easily may
be used. Cusk, cod and haddock are

fifteen or twenty minutes by gentle boil
ing, then remove the flesh carefully from
the bones, letting it separate lightly into
flakes; season with pepper and salt and
a few drops of lemon juice. For every
pint of prepared fish make rich cream
sauce with four tablespoons of butter,
two of flour and piut of rich milk in
which small slice of onion has been
boiled. Pour it over the seasoned fish,
rolling all together gently, so that the
flakes may not be broken. Arrange on a
platter, sprinkle the top with buttered
crumbs and bake in hot oven twenty or
thirty minutes. A speck of cayenne is a
good addition to make to the sauce. This
is delicious and wholesome way of
cooking fish for the sick. The butter is
so thoroughly incorporated with the
flour of the sauce that it becomes one of
the few very easily digested forms of
cooked fat.-Chicago News.

SAVING MANURE.

Manure lies at the root Of successf ul
husbandry in all of the older States.
The virgin prairie soils of the green
West are fast becoming impoverished,
under the influence of remorseless crop
ping, unattended by any adequate return
of fertility. Therefore it is merely a
question of time when the Western
farmer is destined to find himself in the
same straits, regarding the use of man
ure, as his Eastern contemporary. Large
crops everywhere require liberal fertiliza-
tion. Every farmer must, to be sue
cessful, make all the manure possible
frcm his domestic animals, and preserve
it in as perfect condition as may be,
until it can be applied to the ground.
Scattered here and there over the hill
sides, and among the valleys of New
England, there still remain many of the
oldtime COW barns, though the hands of
their builders have long been dust. One
can scarcely drive through the country
in any direction without seeing one or
more of these ancient structures, the
chief inconvenience of which, from
modern point of view, consists In the
absence of convenient pits in which
manure may be stored. The dung, as
fast as made, Is thrown through windows
or openings behind the COWS, where it
accumulates in heaps, against the build
ings. Here it is exposed to the wasting
effects of rain and sun, frost and heat.
The sites of these barns being usually
somewhat elevated, it is not unusual,
after shower, to see a stream of dark
fluid, charged with fertility, flowing into
some brook or swamp, where it is for
ever lost to the purpose of agriculture.
What makes it worse is that the urine
and more soluable portions of the
manure (Which, from the very reason of
their solubility, are most valuable) are
soonest wasted by teaching. Manure
managed in the above manner loses at
least one-half its value. Now, with
very little labor and expense, all this
waste may be avoided. First, remove
the soil to the depth of two feet from
the entire surface, which the bottom of
the manure pile is to cover, replacing 1t
with some good dry absorbent, which
VIII CatCn anu uolu all tue liquius.
Next construct lean-to roof against the
barn, sufficiently high and large enough
to protect the manure. Any rough or
secondhand boards are good enough
for the purpose. These may be covered
with cheap shingles, tin or anything
water proof. The thin sheet iron, such
as Is used in making caustic soda casks,
makes tight and durable roof, and can
usually be bought of soap manufacturers
for song. The manure, even when
kept out of doors, may be kept practi
cally without loss. Matters will be
greatly facilitated if cows are always
furnished with bedding sufficient to ab-
sorb the valuable materials in the urine.

BAD FLAyoRs IN BUTTER.

If you want the cows to yield perfect
favored milk do not let them eat leeks,
fungus growths, or any noxious vegeta-
tions. This implies that you must have
a clean pasture, which should be part
and parcel of every dairy farm.
Some COWS develop morbid appetite,
generally those that are ill fed, and they
will eat with avidity refuse and foul
growths that have most deleterious
effect on the quality of the milk. We
have known cows to give tainted milk
day after day of so rank character that
aeration had but little effect upon the
odor, and the butter made therefrom
was practically uneatable. Continued
investigation for long time failed to
reveal the cause, until it was at last dis
covered that some of the cows had been
eating poisonous varieties of mush-
rooms, commonly known as ''toad
Stools" which grew abundantly about
some old decayed stumps in the pasture.
As soon as the cause was removed the
milk resumed its normal character.
1t amounts to one and the same thing
to give unhealthy food to milch cows, or
to place it in modified form on your
table for your family's use. Bad food
given to cow in milk will surely i'm
press its bad character upon her tactical
secretion. Damaged food turned into
beef may not be so quickly and thor
oughly transmitted to the human
stomach as in the case of milk, for the
slower process of nutrition in the animal
tissues gives time for considerable OF de-
leterious matter to be eliminated by the
processes of nature before the meat be-
comes human food.
With milk the case is practically of
the same character as the feed. An after
aeration of the fluid cannot expel disease
germs and microbes absorbed from an
unhealthy appetite. Prevention is the
only cure for bad flavor and worse re.
suits, in milk affected in the way de-
scribed. Dairyman.

renewed by persons who have themselves
taken but very inadequate pains to de-
stroy the insects on their own fields and
now are stocking fields of their neigh
bors. This is a crime, and with other
related offenses calls for effective remedy
by law.
There is certain remedy for these
pests and cheap one. This is spraying
the plants and trees with well known
preparations which kill the insects. 1t
has been proved effective, and the use of
it should be enforced by law. A begin
ming has been made in the State OF New
York, where penalties are provided for
neglect to destroy the fungus which pro-
duces the black knot in cherry aud plum
trees, by no means nearly so costly a
pest as many others that might be men
toned. What is most needed, however,
is the public sentiment which would in-
duce all concerned to take the necessary
measures to keep their own premises
free from pests of all kinds, and when
this is once aroused effectively there will
be an end of the trouble. York

FIGHTING NoxIoUs INsEc rs.

Time has come for an active discus
sion of the means for preventing the
great increase in number and varieties of
pernicious insects. These have become
an intolerable burden upon farmers, and
the losses by them far surpass the total
of those which have been suffered by
animal diseases. And yet there has been
for years special department of the
Agricultural Bureau for the suppression
of diseases among animals. Laws lave
been enacted in all the States for the
protection of live stock from disease
spread by careless persons.
But-nothing has been done in regard
to the spread of noxious insects from
farm TO farm in the manner of pesti-
lence, and encouraged by thoughtlcss
and careless neighbors, who breed
myriads of the pests in their fields or
gardens, and permit them to scatter
abroad without compunction. The in
jury done is enormous, and unless some
effective remedy is applied very soon the
burden will become too heavy to be
borne.
Jusrnow the striped potato beetle may
be seen leaving the early potato fields
where the crop has been gathered aud
swarming over the roads and fences te
the fields which have been cleared
already of repeated swarms of the pests
at large expense. And now the stock is

PREPARING LAND FOR WHEAT.

After plowing thoroughly it is very
important to have land intended to be
sown to fall wheat that it be prepared in
as good condition as possible. The soil
to the depth of three or four inches
should be In fine tilth as seed bed for
the wheat, and underneath this the bed
should be reasonably solid. The kind
of implement needed to properly fit the
soil for the seed must be largely deter
mined by the character of the soil and
its conditions. When early, and it is in
a proper state, a good smoothing har-
row is all that will be needed to properly
fine it. Afterwards, however, before the
plowing can be done the soil gets hard
and may break up in hard Jumps, and
the drag may be used to properly level
and fine. Again, hard, beating rains
after blowing will often run the soil to-
gether, and the hot sun will cause it to
bake, and in this condition, in the ma
jorlty of cases, it be best to use the disc
harrow.
What will be best at one time or in
one kind of soil will not be the most
economical under other conditions and,
for this reason, the character of the soil
and the kind of work to be done must
always be considered. The one i'm
portant item is to be sure of working
enough, and then to use the implement
that will do the work most thoroughly
and economically. With nearly all va
rieties of seeds, the more thorough the
preparation of the soil, the better and
thriftier the termination of the seed,
and the better the start to grow of the
plants. Prairie Farmer.
