CULTIVATION OF WILLOWS.

Inquiries are received concerning
the culture and marketing of willows
for baskets and other goods. Notwith-
standing the basket willow does well in
this country, five-sixths of the guam
tity consumed is imported from for
eign countries
The prevailing opinion that only low
land is suitable for willow cultivation
may be the cause of SO little attention
being given to it. Low land is best,
but high land is good. 1t is certainly
far better than land where there are
stagnant pools or too much water.
For the growth of willows the land
must be treated similar to that in
tended for the planting of corn. 1t
must be plowed in the fall and loosened
up in the spring. The field must be
kept free of grass and weeds
The willow cuttings are planted in
rows twelve inches apart. The rows
should be three feet apart and culti
GATOR and hand hoe used to keep down
the weeds.
The plants are cuttings from two to
three year old Willows which are cut
one foot long, measuring three-eighths
to one-half inch in thickness. With
stick or iron rod holes are made in the
ground and a cutting introduced SO that
one or two buds remain above the
ground. The first year only q few
sprouts will spring from each cutting.
Every year in March the switches are
cut close to the stem before the sap
shoots into the plants. The switches
are tied in bundles about ten inches in
diameter and placed in two or three
inches of water, remaining there until
the latter part of April until the sap
has risen and small leaves and sprouts
have appeared. This sap loosens the
bark which can be removed very easily
by being drawn through q wooden fork
similar to clothes pin.
Willows must be dried in the open
air. They are then bundled to weigh
about fifty pounds per bundle. About
80, 900 willow cuttings are necessary to
plant an acre. The willow reaches the
greatest production in the third year,
and with proper care and good fertiliz-
ing it will continue to yield good re-
suits for many years.
Dry peeled willows are worth five to
eight cents pound, and green willows
with the bark on them are worth $l4
to SIS per ton.-Farm, Field and Fire

LATE CABBAGE PLANTS.

It is not necessary for crop of late
cabbage to start the plants in o hotbed.
Make q place out doors as rich and
mellow as possible, SOW the seed in
drills rather thinly, and cover nights
to keep in the heat. 1t is very i'm
portant to make rapid but stocky
growth. This may be done by putting
nitrate of soda in the drill row and
transplanting each plant once if not
more times before finally setting it out
where it is to make head. Plants
thus treated are worth double those
grown closely crowded in the matted
bed. d.-Boston Cultivator.

A Large Fruit Farm.

/, One of the largest fruit farms this
side of the Rocky Mountains, accord
ing to recent bulletin of the West
Virginia Experimental Station, is to
be found ON the foothills of the Blue
Ridge in Jefferson County, of that
State. In 1887 Becker Brothers set
out $4,000 peach trees, since which
time eight adjoining tracts have been
added, until the fruit farm comprises
2400 acres in one body. The planters
have not stopped with peaches alone,
but they have large area in grapes,
ounces and cherries, besides American
and Japanese plums, apricots, Japan
persimmons, nectarine, English wal
nuts, Italian chestnuts and paper shell
almonds. Chicago Herald.

The Travelling of Roots.

Nature gives curious instance of
the travelling of roots. While coun-
try house was being demolished it was
noticed that large quantities of vege-
table fiber adhered to parts of some of
the walls. Further scrutiny revealed
the fact that the root of wistaria had
entered the dining room by small
chink of the window near the ceiling,
and on removing the paper from the
walls the whole of the plaster around
the room was found to be covered with
fine net work of rootlets. The most
singular part of the discovery was that
not trace of the intruding growth
was visible on the paper inside the
room, which had been constantly in
habited. Chicago Record.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
wooIEN APRONS.

Woolen aprons are recommended
either to cooks or other women who are
constantly about hot stove. The
aprons may be made from light
weight, loosely woven woolen, and are
certainly a wise precaution against those
accidents from fire that happen every
few days. At the large stores there are
ready made woolen petticoats, the
cheapest of which are fifty cents, that
may be cut open and used for aprons.
They need only be used for cooking
and ironing, and the gingham apron
used at other times Washed in water
containing little ammonia, they are
as easily cleansed as aprons of cotton.

A Pocket Life Line.

Lieutenant Brunei, of Dieppe,
France, in 1874, introduced pocket
life saving apparatus, of which over
$500 are now in use in France, where
they save on an average 285 lives an
nually. The apparatus consists of a
small wooden float with 100 feet of
stout cord wound about it. One end
of the cord is attached to small but
efficient grapnel armed with four small
hooks. The whole thing weighs only
five ounces and can be sold at a profit
for half a dollar.-New York Adver-

ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.

Attention has recently been directed
to the application of electricity to farm
ing operations, and the designing and
introduction of suitable dynamo-elec-
trio machinery for this purpose would
no doubt be profitable both to the
manufacturers and the farmers. Early
n 1872, an electric power system was
installed at the farm of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Auburn, Ala, the

HOW TO COOK A STEAK.

This is the proper way to cook q
beefsteak: The first requisite is to get
steak that has been kept long enough
the proper time is two months. The
very sight of this as it comes from the
refrigerator would effectually deter
any woman from buying it, for it is
covered with repulsive mold and
looks as though it were fit only for the
garbage wagon. The butcher and the
beefsteak expert know better.
The sides and ends trimmed off,
meat of q dark, blood-red color is dis
closed. This should be sliced about
two inches thick, the end known as
waste cut off, leaving the solid tender
loin and sirloin. The trimming of
porterhouse takes about one-third its
weight. Reduced thus, the steak
should then be literally seasoned with
salt and pepper. A test of the con-
dition of the steak is pressure of the
finger. If it is tender the impression
remains on the meat
Prepared thus the steak is placed on
common broiler and put in the gas
stove, the fame of which is above and
from one and half to two inches from
it. 1t takes about twenty minutes to
cook such a steak-ten for each side.
1t should be cooked slowly, for the
meat has just come off the ice and takes
time to get heated through. The
dripping-pan beneath catches the juice
that used to fall in the Goals and burn
the steak.
The juice is afterward poured over
the steak, and its saving is possible
only by the gas stove. This manner
of cooking steak is being adopted by
all of the best restaurants in New York.
Besides the charring of steak by Goals
and dripping grease, the heat cannot
be kept uniform under any other sys-
tenn than gas. Natural gas is considered
the best. st. Louis Globe Democrat.
