SPINACH.

Among the small vegetables there is
none more important than spinach, or
one that can be grown more protitably.
Yet it is a sadly neglected luxury, and
rarely met in the garden. There is no
excuse for this as it can be grown easily,
either as spring, summer, and autumn
crop. As it is mostly required for early
spring use it should be given a sheltercl
situation, if the garden affords such. In
this respect we cannot always choose,
particularly in small gardens where it
must be grown as a second crop. Any
vacant ground will do, end it should be
prepared early in September, by working
in deeply good supply of weIl-rotted
stable manure, and then leVcIci oil as
smoothly as possible. After the ground
is in readiness the seed should be sown
in shallow drills, from twelve to sixteen
inches apart. Sow the seed thiply, COW
ering about half an inch, and then firm
the ground On the seed by treading down
each row with the feet. For an early
spring crop the seed should be
sown about the 10Th Of September.
AS soon az the plants have made
a second pair of leaves they should
be thinEed out to four inches apart;
after this all the care they require IS
good cultivation, which means a ire
quent use of the hoe, to prevent Il crop
of weeds. After the ground Is lightly
frozen, a slight mulch, not quite sutfi-
cient to cover the plants SHOULD be given.
Early in the spring, as soon as the soil
is in fit condition to work, the crop
should be thoroughly and deeply worked.
In short time it will be ready for use,
and the ground can be cleared and pre-
pared for some other crop. As field
crop cultivation is the same, only the
pillow and harrow are substituted for the
spade and the rake.
In the garden the seed should be sovn
wherever there is vacant spot, aud, if
the crop Is not wanted for the table,
there is nothing better in the way Of a
green crop for fertilizer. -Americaa

Improved Horseshoe 8.

Horseshoes of aluminium have been
tried again in Finland. A number of
horses of a cavalry regiment were shod
on one fore and one hind foot with
aluminium shoes aud on the other with
ordinary iron shoes. After SIX weeks
use the former had worn better than the
iron shoes, ana not one of them had
gone to pieces, although the horses had
been all the time moving on a hard and
stony road. A new type of horseshoe
has been patented in England. The
shoe is formed from bar of mild steel,
and has four clips, the inside of which is
supplied with sharp points. These clips
grip the outside of the foot and hold the
shoe firmly in place. The underneath
part of the shoe is grooved, and an in.
dia rubber pad or rib is inserted in the
groove. This prevents the horse from
SLIPPING on greasy roads and reduces the
jar on the horses legs when trotting on
hard roads. Among the advantages
claimed for shoes is the fact that, being
made Of the best softened steel instead
of ordinary iron, they are lighter and
more durable than the ordinary shoe;
they can be fitted with ease to any de-
scription of loot without heating, and
the groom can fix them if smith is not
at hand; they can be adjusted without
nails, and can not possibly lnjure the
horse or interfere with the natural grow,h
OF the hoof.---Courier-Jo urnal.

Piucking Ostriclies.

noon, brought the eleven full. grown
birds into a feathery mass before L. P.

rcquilcl some time to counteract the
suspicion that would flare up in fringe
Of shaky nec'is, until the reassuring gaze
and the soothing voice of the feeder
caused them to drop IN security to the
temptation in the sand.
Suddenly there was wild stampede,
and the neck of the gray female that
Waters had bent to SEIZE was hooded in
the sack, an opening for breathing ad.
hitting several inches of her bill. Be-
tween the men this strangely subluel
creature was guided into an open-end
stall. Apparently the ostrich, with its
fore-a1d-aft eye sweep, feels its help

resistance. as the powerful pronged toe
could not get back hit at the plucker.
The assistant stood behind as guard,
while Waters pulled, shipped and au-
swered questions from the 1nquisitors.
They learned that in each wing, over
the protectors Or floss feathers, there
grow to maturity in eight months twenty
six long white plumes. In the black
male these are pure white, but the female
a Ids slight standings of ecru or gray.

these. The tail feathers are toned into

ing whipped out. The quilts are then
pulled when ripe. Nearly 800 feathers
were secured from Biddy, which will
have market value OF $65 after being
curled aud dressed. The female averages
seventy eggs in a year, and nowadays
these are all incubated at Fallbrook,
where alfalfa pastures await the young
ones. Green feed at Coronado for the
eleven costs, on a daily average, sixty
conts. None of these birds are over
three years of age, and all are native
sons and daughter. The youngest male,
a splendid curley coated fellow, Is but
sixteen months old, and this second
pIucking in his experience was certainly
lie fought, kicked, and
crouched through the process, but Mr..
Waters secured from him the finest
plumes of the pick. A second female
was denuded, and the remainder were
left unmolested for third plucking soon.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Open hended trees bear best fruit.
1t is better not to stir porous soil too
much.
Two becves can never be made fat on
pasture that has only grass enough for
one.
Scientific breeding is the basis of profit
in live stock, and especially III the
dairy.
No farmer can afford to buy manure
until he has first made use ofevery pound
produced at home.
Turkeys are marketable at any time
after cooler weather sets in, and often
for medium-sized fowls in good coudi-
ton better prices can be realized early
than late.
Do not place the drinking water where
the sun will strike it. The water be-
comes warm quick enough while in the
shade, without letting the sun warm it
more quickly.
Next to good feeding in Importance is
classed good grooming. A thorough
and regular use of curry comb and
brush is equivalent to at least quart or
two of oats a day.
A pear and plum orchard should al
ways be kept in cultivation. A good one
cannot be had when the ground is kept
in grass. Cherries, however, will do
very well if kept in grass.
1t is best not to feed flint corn on the
cob to horses. 1t is SO hard that it will
hurt the ANIMALS hampers and make
them sore. The safest way would be to
grind all corn of this kind.
Let the poultry have the run of the
stubble. They will gather large num-
Der of insects, besides picking up the
grain which was lost during tie harvest
and which would be other wise wasted.
Don't feed the ducks too much, as
they will be apt to become sated and
diseased, and their legs may become
paralyzed from the effects of it. Peas,
oats, and ground corn in moderate
quantities will make them thrive.
AproDos of hedges vs.. fences farm
journal suggests that yellow locust trees
set in line will hold wire at four years
old, and may be kept trimmed down to
the trunk with impunity, thus combining
the advantages of hedge and fence.

FRIED TOMATOES,

Wash and cut in half six nice, ripe
tomatoes. Place them in a baking pan
skin down. Gut a quarter Of a pound of
butter into small pieces, place over the
tomatoes, sprinkle with pepper and salt,
and putin the oven ten minutes. Then
place over the fire and fry slowly. The
tomatoes;should become tender without
turning. When done lift carefully and
place ina heated dish. Draw the bak-
ing pan over quick fire, stir until the
butter is brown, add two tablespoonfuls
of flour, mix until smooth, stir until it
bols, season with salt aid pepper, and
pour over the tomatoes. Tomatoes cooked
in this way will take the place of meat.

Cash and Credit.

An enterprising grocer in the town
of Santa Clara, Cal, has adopted an
original method Of trade. Each side
of the store is fitted up for business
on its own account. In the general
arrangement each side is duplicate
OF the other, indifference being that
one side is for cash and the other for
credit. When Il customer comes in,
the first question asked is, DO you
wish to buy for cash or on account?"
If it is cash customer, the goods
and prices on each side are shown;
but if it is one who wants credit he
Is shown to the other side, and for
the first time in his life, perhaps,
made to realize the value Of ready

Quaker Marriaras.

The rules of the Society of Friends
have been recently relaxed in order
to allow Of what are called mixed
marriages being sOlemnizcd at their
meeting houses. The popularity of
the marriage ceremony is that no
minister or officer interfercS. The
marriage VOW is repeated by the bride
and bridegroom standing up, after a
short interval of silence, in front OF
the congregation. A ring is gener-
ally put on after the actual ceremony
is finished, in Difference to ancient
custom, which the rules Of the society
have not been strong enough to break
through. a certificate recording the
actual words used by the newly mar
ried couple, and giving description
of their parentage, is then signed,
first in presence of the meeting by
the bride and bridegroom, and then
by number Of their friends, and is
afterwards read aloud to the meeting.

FITTING A HORSE COLLAR.

How to properly adjust the collar of a
horse is knowledge that all men do not
possess, and many disagree on important
matters. Some men keep the inner sur
face of the collar soft and pliablc. Every
time the collar is put on 1t is pressed and
pummeled until 1t is soft. Others, equal
ly as good farmers, never soften the
wearing surface of the horses collar, but
simply rub off the accumulated hair and
dandrutf. The latter plan is most prac-
ticcd. The wearing surfaces of OK yokcs
are as hard as seasoned wood can make
them. In purchasing horse collar take
the animal With you and have the collar
fitted. A short collar will choke the
animal and cause distress. If trihc too
long it will DO no harm if raised up at
the bottom by puttinga pad under At the
top. The names should always be buck
led close and fitted snugly to the collar.
Using the collar on other horses ruins

CUTTING OUT CORN TAssELs.

Careful experiments at the New York
station IN tasselling alternate rows of
corn showed no practical advantage from
this process. 1t certainly involves good
deal of labor, far too much to make it
worth while unless enormous advantages
might be expected from il. Most of the
marketable corn Of the country is grown
in fields so large that any hand cultiva-
ton would be impracticAbIc. In the ex-
pcrimcnts the rows were gone over sew
cral times, an expense that very few far
mers would be willing to incur Most
Of them would prefer to plant a few
more acres and grow it according to old
methods, leaving tassels as nature formed
