MANAGEMENT OF WORN OUT LAND.

There is a natural fascination about
the attempts to take what is seemingly
worthless and give it value. Either it
is this. or the fact that poor land can al
ways be bought cheaply and usually on
the easiest terms makes poor land sale.
able when property that was certain not
to pay in years of any other character
could not find purchaser on any terms.
But in most cases, cheap as the poor
farm may seem, that in high state of
cultivation will be really cheaper, what.
ever the price asked for it. The cost of
bringing up poor land to the point where
it will begin to pay is always greater than
is expected. The land that is now pay
ing can generally be depended on to
pay under good management as well as
it has done. 1t has recognized value
that can be determined. If the poor
land is bought it has to be experimental
with, and possibly money has to be sunk
before it can be made to pay. The old
saying, to him that hath shall be given.
and from HIM that hath not shall be
taken away what he seemeth to have, is
quite as true of land as it Is of people.
Fertility tends to make fertility even
more surely than does money make
money.-Boston Cultivator.

the land. The surface should be har-
rowed and hand raked until it is in the
finest condition. As to choice of seed,
this must vary somewhat with locality
and special conditions. Every scotsman
has his own special mixture. and a very
general one consists in red top and Ken
lucky blue grass, in equal proportions,
with four or five pounds of white clover
to the bushel. The seed is sown broad
cast, when there is no wind, and lightly
rolled in. This In brief is the usual
plan.
A method brought to notice by ]. B.
Olcott, of the Connecticut Experiment
Station, aud described and discussed at
the last annual session of the New jersey
State Horticultural Society, is as follows.
Prepare the ground the same as described
Tor seeding down. Then selected sod
of fine variety of Rhode Island Bent
grass is taken and divided into single
plants of one or two spears and these are
in rows nine inches apart and also nine
inches between the rows, thus requiring
sixteen plants to the square yard. These
plants are pressed firmly into the soil and

hard roller. The after care consists in
keeping out every weed and plants of
white clover, etc.
In three or four months, it is claimed,
the ground will be entirely covered with
short, thick moss of grass. During the
summer an application of from 200 to
400 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre,
applied in from three to four sowings,
will give the plants fresh start and cause
them to assume bright green hue. If
these directions are carefully carried out
there will be no need of weedy lawns
and the general complaint that grass
cannot be made to grow under shade
trees according to the advocates for this
method. 1t must be explained that
Rhode Island Bent grass as usually seen
has long runners with the plants far
apart, somewhat like the strawberry run
ners, while in the peculiar variety in
question the plants cover the entire run
ners and show no naked stems. The sea-
son for planting by this method may be
either from September to November, or
from the last of March to the first of
Jdn ne.-New York World.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

Fruits of Madagascar.

Madagascar is well supplied with
fruit, some indigenous to the country,
other kinds introduced. Among the
former, the banana holds first place. 1t
is very plentiful, of many varieties, and
all good. The lemon and lime, the
rose apple and guava, also abound.
The orange, one OF the introduced fruits,
has become an article of commerce at
Tamatave, while the vine, when properly
cared for, furnishes splendid crops of
grapes, which are harvested during the
months of December and January. Be-
sides these are the citron, melon, pine
apple, loquat, alligator pear, custard
apple, mango, peach, mulberry, pome-
granate and ounce. Figs, in great
quantities, but of poor quality, grow
wild in many parts of the forest

As respects modern locks this country
bears off the palm, whether as regards
security, convenience, facility of manipu-
lation or workmanship. Like other arti-
cles for common use confined within the
domain of ordinary mechanics, our locks
are the best in the world. The lock OF
the present day in European countries Is
d clumsy piece of mechanism, and the
key cumberome piece of iron that is
inconvenient to carry in the pocket and
dangerous to the clothing. The task of
the Europe burglar is easy, twisted
piece of iron being an "open sesame" for
all the rooms of private dwelling or
hotel. On the continent it is even more
essential than with us that the locksmith
should be man OF greater probity than
the workmen OF other trades. Fortu-
nately, in France the honesty Of the craft
has become tradition. Comparatively
few of the burglaries that are of nightly
occurrence in and and about Paris are
committed by locksmiths. From time
immemorial the French locksmiths have
taken the dog as an emblem of the
fidelity to its interests that the public
expects of them. 1t habitually appeared
upon their signs, which were varied
sometimes by the figure of a lion guard
ing safe, the key of which was held
by hare. Of the relative honesty of
locksmiths in other countries where the
lock has been less speciality of manu-
factures as an adjunct of art we know
little on account of the lack of statistics,
but we may say in general way of this
country that 1t would be very unfortu-
nate for society if our locksmiths should
take as kindly to burglary as some of
our engravers have to counterfeiting.-

LARGE AND SMALL FARMS.

Man, persons could better their hnan-
cial condition and relieve themselves
from much worry and vexation if they
would put the brains, labor and manure
on five acres that they now distribute
over forty. 1t is not true, however,
that every farmer can do better on a
small farm than on large one. 1t re-
quires different order of intellect, and
in some ways larger intellect, to sue
ceed with the small farm. Any success.
full gardener knows that it requires more
brains to market his crops protitably than
it does to raise them. In other words,
the small farmer, if he expects profitable
returns for his work, must have the
qualities of a successful merchant and a
skillful farmer.-Chicago Times.

HORSE POINTS.

Unless horse has brains he is not
teachable. A horse that has breadth
and fullness between the ears and eyes
will not act mean or hurt any one. The
eye should be full and hazel color, the
ears small and thin and point forward,
the face straight with square muzzle and
large nostrils. The under side of the

points is almost sure to be slightly grace.

TO DRESS A BEEF.

A slaughtered beef may ne dressed IN
this way: AS soon as it is dead the car
cass is turned on its back and the hide
is slit up the belly, without cutting
through into the interiors. The knife is
passed from the brisket up the forelegs
to the knee, and this joint is separated
and left in the hide for the present. The
hind legs are treated in the same way.
The skin is then stripped off as far as
possible to the back and round the neck.
The carcass is then raised partly so as to
remove the skin from the rump and
down the back, and, as is necessary, it is
raised more until the head is free Of the
ground, when the hide is completely re-
moved, and the head is cut off. When
the carcass is half raised it is opened
and the intestines removed. 1t is then
hoisted up, and washed down with cold
water and left to hang until cool. 1t
may be desirable to split the back bone
at the shoulders and open the carcass to
hasten the cooling. When well cooled
and quite stiff the meat is cut up, first
into halves down the backbone aud then
into quarters. II is then ready to hang
up, and may be further divided as may
be convenient. Meat that is to be salted
should be hung a few days before 1t is
cut up, itkeeps better for it, and any
bloody parts, as about the neck, should
be well cleaned before the meat is put IN
the pickle, as any blood in it will make
the pickle sour in the warm weather.
Picked meat should be opened in the
apring, before the weather is warm, aud
the pickle drawn off and boiled; by this
the albumen which makes the pickle
sour will be removed by straining, as it
will be become solid. More pickle may
be added.

HOW TO BOIL RICE.

Wash one cup Of rice. Put three
quarts of boiling water into kettle;
add teaspoonful of salt aud let it boil
rapidly; sprinkle in the rice SO grad
ually that you will not stop the boiling;
when you have it all in, give the water
a twirl with fork, cover the kettle and
boil rapidly twenty minutes. Then pour
into q colander to drain. Place the
colander on a tin dish; stand it in the
oven for five minutes to dry, leaving the
door wide open; then turn it carefully
into heated dish; serve without
cover.
Points 70 be remembered Boil rap.
idly from the time you cover the kettle
till you take it off. The rapid boiling
allows each grain to swell three times its
normal size, and the motion prevents
the grains from sticking together. Do
not stir it, as this will cause it to fall to
the bottom Of the kettle and burn. The
drying in the oven with the door open
evaporates the moisture, leaving the rice
soft, snowy white and perfectly dry.
Boiled rice is delicious when served with
shrimp, oyster, chicken or okra gumoo.

SETTING AXLES.

In setting axles for carts and carriages
the wheels should be trifie wider apart
at the top than at the bottom; also
gather little in the front to prevent
pressing on the linchpin or nut holding
the wheel on the axle. In the carriage
trade these variations from straight
line are called the "swing" and
''gather." The latter IS the forward
inclination of the spindle relatively to
the general line of direction of the
axletree. The swing is the outward in
clination of the top of the wheel, and is
to meet the requirements of the conical
axle, so that the bottom edge of the
spindle shall ride about horizontally.

Honey may be used for making vim
egar as well as syrups or other sweets.
To make five gallons of honey vinegar,
put five pounds of strained honey into

tons of warm, pure rain water and pint
of good yeast, or few sheets of mother
of vinegar if they can be had. Set the
cask in warm place, covering the
