MANAGEMENT OF TULIPS,

Tulips may remain in the ground
several years without taking up, but it
10 far better plan to cut the flowers
as soon as they begin to fade, which
hastens the ripening of the bulbs, and
as soon as the leaves begin to turn vel
low, take the bulbs up, and put them
IN some shaded place, where they NAV
remain for few days. Then take
them up and store in cool, dry place.
until the time comes for replanting,
which should be early in October. One
OF the objections to leaving tulips in
the ground over summer is, that the
old skin of the bulbs forms harbor
for insects that sometimes trouble the
new bulbs. Tulips grown from seed
are selfs-that is, of one color-in the
cup, crimson, scarlet, purple, white,
OF yellow, the base being generally
white, or purple.A These, after few
years, break or Become variegated.

FERTILIZERS FOR POOR LANDS.

The improvement Of poor land is
best secured by any means by which
clover may be grown. With a crop Of
clover to be turned under the question
OF the recovery Of worn land is settled
afirmatively. But this is the difficult
ty. The clover must have something
TO feed upon, and this is provided BY
liberal dressing of lime, by which the
unavailable fertility of the land is de-
veloped and made useful for the crop.
Unless the land is exceedingly impov-
ished by wasteful culture, an applica-
ton of twenty five bushels of air.
Stacked lime will be sufficient to bring
fair yield of clover, and this plowed
under will add large quantity of nj
trogen and organic matter to the soil.
Then by giving about 800 pounds to
the acre of, mixed superphosphate and
potash salts, good yield of wheat
may be made, and better crop of
clover grown with it than at first,
This moved for hay and then planted
with some early kind of potatoes will
yield profitable crop. The best 70.
tation under these circumstances is
wheat, clover and potatoes; the next
wheat being sowed on the potato
ground. New York Times.

WORKING HORSES WITHOUT GRAM.

ceiient farmer, has made his boast that

after oil, the more practical question
IS not whether horses cannot do fair
Gays work and keep in good condition
without grain, but whether a little
grain and less clover would not enable
the horses to do enough more to make
tne grain an economical feed. We
nave, when farming, plowed with horses
without grain, but it was slow work
and we thought then that if a HIGH
priced man worked that team, its
owner, who was our father, could not
afford not to grain them. Boston Gull

PLANTS IN THE KITCHEN.

Anew growing plants give an aesthetic
touch to the appearance of the kitchen.
once read, writes correspondent of
the New York World, that the beauti-
full flower known as the Cyclamen had
sort of Cinderella beginning in the
fire corner of an industrious house
wife's kitchen. She used perforated
shelf, back Of her kitchen stove, on
which she placed a box Of earth for a
propagating bed.
The heat from the fire and the moist
ure from the steam out of the vaporous
pots and kettles produced such healthy
and vigorous plants that florists with
deliberately managed green-h houses
looked at them in amazement.

THE KITCHEN LIBRARY.

A shelf for books will not be alto
gether out Of place in the kitchen.
There are some much needed books for
this part Of the house as well as for the
library. For instance, there are the
cook books that the modern house
keeper needs for reference, since
methods are changing all the time,
and there is blank book you need
yourself to jot down receipts in or else
to paste in those you may clip from
magazines or papers. Then there are
the butchers and grocer's books that
should be kept where they are easily
found. That housekeeper who can
prevail upon her cook to keep an &C.
count book, and trust her to guard the
small leaks of the kitchen by taking
pains to note expenditures is fortunate,
indeed; however, this sort of sshelp''
cannot be reckoned upon in every
household. st, Louis Star-Sayings.

HOW LONG TO MILK cows.

One OF the greatest mistakes which
was ever made in the management of
mich COWS, was to milk them little
over half the year, and allow them to
run dry the other half, writes Albert
Pringle, of Canada. There is little
profit in this. A good animal should
be fed well and kept producing all, or
nearly all, the time. It is probable
that, in a state of nature, the COW would
cease to give milk when the time came
for the calf to cease to suck. But our
domestic animals are not in state of
nature, and they are influenced by sur
roundings. The object in view would
have something to do in this matter of
protracted milking, II the aim is the
greatest amount Of butter and cheese,
then keep the COW milking nearly all
the time. If the aim is to raise an ex-
tra calf, it would, of course, be well to
free the COW from the milk pail sooner.
The farmers common sense and OBJ
servation and the stockman's sagacity
must be used here, as everywhere else.
Many farmers make great mistake,
not only in drying up the mich COWS
too soon, but in the time of calving.
The cows are usually timed to calye
about the time the cheese factories
open. The COWS are allowedto dry up
soon after the cheese factories close in
the fall, except, perhaps, one or two of
the best, which are MIXED once day.
This certainly is not the way to make
m11oh T,r0fif ont of tho oorro
The vitality of the COW will certainly
afford greater results expended in
lactation. Dairymen will scarcely
have failed to notice that even the new
mich COW begins to fail in her milk
soon after service. OF course, one in
variable rule will not do for all COWS
and all breeds. Some may not be
MIXED to advantage more than six
months after coming in before service.
Others may be milked with advantage
for year, others longer. 1 knew a
COW to be MIXED for six consecutive
years, continuously, with profit.
Instead Of having all the COWS calve
in the spring, they ought to be timed
to come in at different seasons of the
year, SO that there may be continu-
GUS supply of milk. The cheese fac
tories will take the milk six months,
and the creameries the other six. Get
the right kind of cows and feed them
we'll, and they will milk eleven months
in the year, and sometimes longer, if
the COW is well bred. Agri-
culturist.

HOW TO CLEAN CALVES, FEET.

Calves foot jelly is often recon-
mended as a diet for invalids, but I
have never seen any method of clean
lug the feet, writes Sharlot NJ Hall.
The following method is the result of
experiments made in our family and
we have found that calves feet are
more easily cleaned than pigs feet.
Skin the feet carefully down to the
hoofs and then put them in boiling
water for ten or fifteen minutes. The
hoofs will then slip off easily and leave
the feet clean. Wash well and they are
ready for use.
Picked calves feet are much nicer
than pigs feet, and the stock or jelly is
very fine for soups. Detroit Free

GATHERING THE HAY CROP.

The gathering of the hay crop
rapidly approaches, and farmers viii
do well to see TO it that it is cared for
in every respect as one of the most
economical and valuable of crops pro-
duced on the farm. In time gone by
too little attention has been given to
It. It is important that more interest
be taken in this branch Of farming, for
TIE reason that it governs the price of
~, meat and stock Not only does
II raise the price of these, but it indi-
'rectly has an influence over the wheat
and corn prices. The history OF agri-
culture has shown that the original
productiveness Of farm lands in ali civ
ilized countries has suffered, in course
Of time, gradual decline. It has been
ascribed to the reduction in the area
occupied BY our natural pastures and
meadows. This cutting off of the cul-
tivation Of grasses means gradual re-
duction Of live stock, which in turn
causes . falling off in the principal
home resources Of manurial matter.

The chief cause Of less remunerative
utops was due to q serious falling of

nv shows that Ne need more liberal

DRYING SHEETS AND rABnEcnorHs.

1t lis a good plan, always considered,
of course, whether time and strength
will allow, to take linen sheets and
tablecloths from the line when about
half dry, shake them and smooth them
out, fold them once over and hang
them over the line without any stretch
ing or pulling. A couple of pins at a
little distance from either edge will
keep them in place. This gives more
line room, which is often greatly
needed and allows the pieces to dry in
much better shape Many laundresses
seem to think that clothes may be flung
on the line in any way whatever,
wrinkled, folded or twisted, as the
case may be, but this means just so
much additional work when ironing
day comes. Things that are done right
in the first place save much labor and
perplexity, as well as not little wear
and tear OF the articles themselves.
