GROWING pANs1Es FOR PROFIT.

The culture of flowers is one of the
most profitable of all this kind of in
dustries, and at fifty cents dozen for
pansies, the profit will be very salts
factory. To have them early, the seed
should be sown at once in boxes in a
warm room, and the small plants
moved to pots, but if the seed is sown
in the fall, the flowers may be had still
earlier. The most desirable way is to
SOW seed in the summer in the open
ground on rich soil, and pot the young
plants, picking off all the flower buds
as they form, until the middle of the
winter and in time to have the flowers
when they are wanted. Then by
gathering the flowers as soon as they
are fully blown the plants will continue
to bloom a long time. To force good
flowers the plants should be kept
watered with weak manure water. The
finest varieties are the Imperial Ger
man and Scotch. New York Times.

SELECTING A COW.

The good points of good COW are
not her good looks. She may not be
and probably is not very good-looking
except to the eye of an experienced
dairyman. She certainly is not fat
while giving milk, and to be really
good COW she should never be long
time enough between the times of milk
giving to fatten. She will most likely
have large paunch, giving her IA some
what 'pot-bellied" look after she has
filed herself Something cannot come
from nothing, and we never knew a
COW giving large messes of good milk
which was not a ravenous feeder.
Hence her digestion must be good.
She should have broad chest, indicat-
ing large lungs. There is no good
digestion without good lung power.
She should be "deep" from the back
down to the belly, but with thin and
rather fiat neck. The skin of most
good cows is of velvety texture, and
looks as if it had been groomed for
several generations, as in most breeds
of the best cows it has The good COW
is, indeed, less an accident than a
product. With good material from
which to breed, the good farmer can
make sure of her nearly every heifer
calf he gets. Boston Cultivator.

A Piece of the Moon.

A curious and very fine specimen OF
meteoric iron has recently been found
in Rockingham County, South Caro-
lima, and sent to the State Museum at
Columbia. 1t is about twelve inches
long and two inches through at the
thickest part, fiat in its general shape,
and slightly concave on one side, and
convex on the other, as though it had
been broken off the outer surface of a
much larger and rounded mass. 1t is
entirely covered with thick coat of
rust, and weighs 25 "a pounds. Pro-
fessor Tshermel says that, in his opin-
ion, it is simply piece of ore, which
has been projected by volcanic agency
from the face of the moon.-New Or

two days latter harrow until all is
leveled and made very fine. As soon
as the plants make their appearance,
cultivate again, turning the soil to the
plants SO as to cover all weeds that may
have started to grow. When the
plants are about four inches above
ground, thin out to one stalk in hill.
Continue the cultivation twice each
week, going both ways each time, until
the vines cover the ground. Cultivate
shallow to avoid breaking the roots.
The best selection for seed will be
from those stalks that produce the
largest amount in weight. The most
prolific stalks are the best to select
from. A stalk that bears a large num-
Der of tubers of good size and form
will make good seed. The improve
ment of the potato crop in yield and
quality lies in the line of improvement
of seed. An observance of this prin-
ciple has produced wonderful results.
Strict conformity to these principles
for all farm crops will produce as won-
derful changes. Improvement of seed
must precede Improvement of the
general crop. p.-American Agriculturist.

MAYoNNAIsE OF swEETBREADs.

Clean and parboil one pair of
sweetbreads, and then throw them
into cold water for a half hour. Re-
move the fat and skin and cover them
with fresh boiling water; add tea
spoonful of salt and simmer gently for
twenty minutes. When done stand
away to cool. Wash and dry the ten
der leaves from one head of lettuce.
Rub the bottom of soup dish with an
onion, and make in it nearly half
pint of mayonnaise. Place thin
slice of onion in the center of your
salad dish, arrange the lettuce leaves
around it; mix the sweetbreads care
fully with the mayonnaise and put in
the center of the dish. Serve. This
is delicious salad, and if prepared as
directed will have only the faintest
suspicion of onion. Tarragon vinegar

Elevator sickness is a sensation
analogous to sea sickness. You know
if you've crossed Lake Michigan in u
northerly gale that you bear with for
titude the motion of your end OF the
boat when it's on the rise, but listen
for the angels harps when it sinks.
The elevator sickness is built on the
same principle. 1t is more frequent in
New York and Chicago than anywhere
else in the world. The victims, mostly
women, often suffer frightful qualms
when the car starts on its downward
plunge. Some of the less impression
able victims content themselves with
tugging at the rope boys bob-tailed
coat and begging him to Ego slow,
please" Then with muttered prayer
or something the boy, who has heard
that plea before, shakes out a reef or
two more and makes the trip in double
quick, and the victim shuts her eyes
and shudders. Frequently she faints
away completely. Experience does not
seem to diminish the complaint

Lavender as a Weed.

Z A promising industry has been start
I'D in South Australia in a somewhat
surious way. The Central Agricultural
Bureau of South Australia was recently
uotified that weed of very pronounced
odor and aggressive growth had taken
possession of about three acres of soil
in the southern portion of the colony.
The settlers in the neighborhood of the
swamp where the plant had established
itself were inclined to look with dis
tinct disfavor upon the ''weed," which
the horses and cattle would not eat,
and which spread so rapidly. 1t was
presently found, however, that the weed
was no other than the lavender plant,
which though of no use as a fodder,
was otherwise % most profitable crop,
as two or three tons of green stuff taken
from it will yield when distilled by a
very simple process $500 worth of la
Vender OIL In addition it would give
1900 pounds of lavender water worth
sixteen cents per pound, after the first
distillation, and thirty-six cents per
pound after further distillation. The
settler who was shrewd enough to make
inquiries before roofing up his un-
known crop has decided on the advice
of the Agricultural Bureau, not only to
carefully cultivate what lavender he
has, but to plant several acres more
The soil, of light, sandy nature with
clay beneath and fairly moist, is emf
nently suited to the growth, not only
of lavender, but of all scent-producing
plants, and many of the colonists are
proposing to devote part of their land
TO such cultivation. n.-Courier-J ournal.

LAWN GRASS.

Where the locality desirable for q
lawn is naturally free from weeds the
modern suggestion of making it by
planting patches of one particular kind,
which will run together in few
months, is particularly desirable.
Nothing can be more beautiful than n
lawn wholly made up of one species.
For small gardens, especially where the
new plantation can be hand-weeded
during summer, it is the best of all
methods No lawn made of grass seeds
will be confined strictly to one kind,
and on account of the different shades
of green in the grass will always have a
more or less patchy appearance. Those
who supply mixed lawn grass seeds
usually keep this in mind, and endeav-
or to get their kinds SO generally alike
in tint of green as to avoid this objec-
tion. One advantage of the mixed
system Is that one can rarely tell by the
description of II customer what partic-
ular kind of grass will thrive to best
advantage. A mixture il, therefore,
likely to best serve the purpose, in
this, that the one most suitable will
eventually crowd out those not ST. well
adapted to the soil and circumstances.
We have seen II lawn made of mixed
grasses which had To be secured under
the shade Of large trees, eventually be-
come wholly occupied by the sheep
fescue In the course of few years
every other kind was crowded out, and
this particular species alone occupied
the land. Meehan's Monthly.

STRAWBERRY SPONGE.

Soak one-half box gelatine in half
cup of cold water. Hull and mash one
quart of strawberries, and sprinkle
over them half a cupful of sugar
together twenty minutes, but do not
boil hard. Rub the berries through a
hair sieve or colander; add the soaked
gelatine to the boiling syrup, take
from the fire, turn into bowl and add
the berry juice; stir until the gelatine
is all dissolved; add the juice of one
lemon, place the bowl in a pan of
crushed ice and beat with an egg
beater for five minutes. Add the
beaten whites of four eggs, and beat
the whole until it begins to thicken.
Pour into wet molds and set on the ice
to harden. Serve very cold with
cream.-New York Recorder.
