HERE AND THERE.

The chief advantage of deep-set-
ting of milk is that it is less exposed
to atmospheric influence.
Make hay when the sun shines and
potatoes when it rains. But some folks
can't stand hot or rainy weather.
Irregular feeding is injurious to
the fowls, and they should have their
food as regularly as we partake of
ours.
- The enterprise of improvement in
stock brings prosperity as reward.
Cheap-selling always follows cheap
breeding. There is one sure way of
bringing depression in stock.
This is the season for preparing
the asparagus bed. Cut down the seed
stalks and use manure six inches thick
on the bed Next spring you will have
large stalks and plenty of them.
Waste not want not" Let nothing
go to vase on the farm. Save all the
available manure. Put in spare time on
compost heaps. Don't be afraid of
making too much. You will need it
all.
DO not forget that grade animal
will not breed all his good qualities.
Nothing but a thoroughbred will give
you improved stock from your mares
and heifers, or from the droves and
flocks. Do not waste your time.
Raise cattle, horses, hogs and poul-
try enough to consume all the grain
and roughness ON the farm, and that
mortgage will soon be lifted. The
farm will fertilize itself, meanwhile.
Dc not overstock.
Grinding material is one of the
most essential things in the poultry
yard. Without it it is impossible for the
fowls to grind their food, and indiges-
ton and death is the result.
Land plaster, kainite and charcoal

peaches and in II boil the pits until
well favored, then add the pealed and
quartered peaches. Boil one-half hour,

-Meatless bean soup may be made
with or without milk as one prefers. A
good soup is made of the black beans
soaked over night and boiled in gen.
erous quantity of water When soft,
rub through a colander, return to ket-
tie seasoned with salt, pepper, butter
and thyme, If one likes. Hard-boiled
eggs, sliced, may be dropped into the
soup just before serving.
Potato Salad: Cut in dice piece,
one quart of cold, boiled potatoes; one
small onion, or half of large one
chopped fine, little parsley also
chopped; add these to the potatoes,
which should be sailed while cooking,
as it prevents them from boiling to
pieces quite so easily, For the dress
ing, use the yolk of one egg beaten
thoroughly, n saltspoonful each OF
salt, pepper and mustard, and four Ia
blespoonsful of thick, sweet cream.
Mix thoroughly; then add four table,
spoonfuls of vinegar. Do not put the
dressing over the potatoes until Just
before serving. Garnish with lettuce.

Apple Meringue: Pare and core
six apples of equal sizes; place
them in steamer, put teaspoonful OF
sugar and three drops of vanilla, a

Meat on Quick Time,

More meat can be produced in the
shortest time from the duck than from
any other living thing on the farm,
says Poultry Keeper The farmer who
has drake and six ducks will get
something like 800 or 1000 eggs from
them in year, and he can set the eggs
under hens and have ducklings from
the time the first lot comes out, which
is often as early as February, until late
in summer. 1t should not cost over
six cents to produce a pound of duck
meat, and they grow so rapidly as to
leave chicks far in the rear. A duck
ling should weigh, ifforced, four pounds
in eight weeks. We have had them to
gain pound in one week.
OF course we had the Pekins, and
used only the largest and best we
could procure for breeding purposes,
and we have raised hundreds that
never saw water except in trough,
no ponds or streams being used. No
quicker way of supplying meat for the
farmers table can be suggested than
for him to hatch out large lot OF
ducklings, and he can get good price
for all he may sell. Roast duck is a
better dish than salt pork, and can be
had just as cheaply, as the duck can
be raised on the same food that is re.
quired for producing pork. Farm and

For Fall Wear,

Ribbed, striped and plaided woolens
are shown in great variety for autumn
and winter wear, and the novel color
schemes bring out all the new shades
or improved shades of magenta, wall
flower browns and reds, pinkish fawns,
rosy heliotropes, etc. The general rule
for making up these fabrics is that
when they are of the ribbed variety
then bengaline or armure is used.
When they are of two colors, the
darker shade is repeated in the trim
ming, which is usually plain velvet,
and when of contrasting tri-colors,
shot velvet is chosen, each dye being
repeated in the changeable fabric.
Plain velvet, however, is more sue
cessful garniture for changeable mate
rails, whether plain or patterned, than
either silk or ribbon. When it is diff
cult to match the dominant color in
the material, recourse is very often had
to black velvet, which can always be
used with good effect on either gay,
medium or dark tints.-N. Y. Post.

Cucumber Salad In Winter.

Cucumber lovers will find way to
enjoy them fresh out of season by fol-
lowing this German recipe to preserve
them: Take as many medium-sizcd GU
cumbers as you wish and pare and slice
them as if for salad, and then salt them
well, and after leaving them in the
salt few hours the salt and liquid are
squeezed out of them with clean white
cloth. Then take quantity of finely
cut onions and peppercorns and mix
them well into the cucumber. Put the
whole into large stone jar and pour
over it the best white-wine vinegar,
and on top two inches of good salad
oil; cover the top of the jar with nblad-
der. During the whole winter the GU
cumber remains fresh and good. When
necessary add a little more vinegar,
and always leave two inches oil oil at
the top. Cucumber salad made from
the vegetable thus prepared is said to
be almost equal 10 its use in the fresb
state. Farmers Voice.

A NEW INsEcTIcIDE.
An Important Discovery in the Domain of
Pomoiogy.

An Important Discovery I'm the Domain of
Pomoiogy.
A new and important discovery in the
domain of pomology has been made by
f. G. Moulton, of the gypsy moth com
mission, Maiden, Mass. Arsenate Of
lead was the substance used, which
was prepared by dissolving II ounces
acetate of lead and 4 ounces of arsenate
of soda in $50 gallons of water. These
substances quickly dissolve and form
arsenate of lead, a fine white powder,
which is lighter than paris green, and
while being fully as effective in its
operation in destroying insect life, is
far preferable for several reasons. If
by any means the mixture happens to
be used stronger than necessary to de-
stroy insect life, even three or four
times the necessary strength, it in no
wise Injuries the foliage of the plants
upon which it is sprayed. This is u
great thing in its favor, for frequently
in using paris green for potato beetle
larvae and for the Goblin worms, as
much injury results from the poison
burning the foliage as would result
from the insect if left alone.
This is q better insecticde than paris
green under all circumstances and for
all insects, says Prof. Fernald. II has
the advantage of being readily seen on
| the leaves, so that one can tell at a
glance which have and have not been
sprayed, which is often of great con-
venience. Being lighter than paris
green, it does not settle so quickly, and
as a result, can be distributed more
evenly over the foliage. A great objec-
ton to the use of paris green is the liza
bility of using an overdose, and thereby
injurlng the foliage of the plants
sprayed. With the arsenate of lead, it
can be used, if necessary, in the pro-
portion of rs pounds to $50 gallons of
water without injury TO the foliage.
Prof. Fernald advises the addition of 2
quarts of glucose, or, if that can not be
obtained, 2quarts of molasses to each
$50 gallons of water, used for the pur-
pose of causing the insecticide to adj
here to the leaves. He says that the
experiments last season show that
the insecticide will remain on
trees for a long time, even after
quite heavy rains, and, we infer,
prove effective. The cost of these
chemicals at s cents per pound for
arsenate of soda, and IA cents for ace.
tate of lead, at wholesale. 1t sh ould
no norma II, mind that thacn en- bSf a N oas
are all poisonous, and should be used
with as great care as Paris green. =

GOOD SHEEP.
Their Selection Largely IA Matter of Pur.
nose and Locality,

Their Selection Largely Matter of Pur-
pose and Locality.
What is good sheep is very i'm
portant item, and yet very few breed
ers will be found that will agree as to
what is really necessary to constitute
good sheep, and good reason for
this is that sheep adapted to every
section and to all conditions can not
be grown in the same animal, so that
an animal of breed that would be one
mans ideal would be entirely insult
able to another mans condition.
The safest mode is to select and
breed that class of animals that is
best adapted to the peculiar circum-
stances and conditions under which
they must be kept, and the more fully
this is done the better the results
in every way. With a large class a
general purpose sheep, a flock of
good thrifty ewes that will aver
ageat least a good lamb for every eve
in the flock, that will give good fleece
of wool averaging at least eight
pounds, and when matured and fat
tened will give good carcass of NUT
ton, are the ones not only the most de-
sirable, but will prove the most profit
able.
To considerable extent one or the
other of these qualities has been more
or less neglected. One farmer looks
more for wool, quality and quantity
than anything else and in doing this,
mutton or lambs, one or both, are over
looked. Another, close to a good mar
ket, found that mutton paid better
profit, and good carcass of mutton
was sought for and the. other points
neglected. We can hardly expect a
perfect all purpose animal either in
sheep or cattle, but in very many cases
with care in selecting and breeding, a
more nearly all purpose animals can be
secured with sheep than we now have,
and better profit be received
Profit is what we are after in keep
ing sheep, as in keeping every other
class of stock, and the breeding and Sc
lecting should be such as will give the
class of animals that will return the
most profit. Under present conditions
1t will not DO to make speciality OF
either wool or mutton to the detrimeut

FACTS ABOUT BABIES.
The Average Weights and Sizes of Very
Young Children.

Young Children.
1t isn't always the biggest baby that
is the strongest nor finest, for frmness
of flesh and bone, with steady if slow
increase in weight and bulk, is better
than any great stature or weight. OF
course children are built on different
models, and one can not say that a
bs by should weigh just so much at such
and such time, but someone has gone
to- the trouble of getting some averages
with which mothers may console them
selves when they have nothing else to
think of. At birth boy should weigh
some 611 to pounds, girl somewhat
less, or about 6 to 6H pounds. Twins
are always of lower average weight
and size than single children, although
the two together weigh more than
any single baby. In height boy
should measure at birth on an average
Is to 10 inches; girl some half an inch
less-the range of length lying between
16 and 20 inches. The child grows rap
idly during the first year, faster than
during any other period of the same
length, so that it gains about inches,
measuring when twelve months old
about 81 inches, its weight being about
10 pounds.
During the second year il gains only
inches on an average, and 5 pounds in
weight, reaching stature of 81 inches
and a weight of "a pounds. But these
figures represent only the average, the
extreme ranging bet ween wide limit.
A fact that is seldom taken into con-
sideration with children, with regard
to their weight and plumpness, is that
about their second year, when they are
learning to walk, they become thinner,
not because they deteriorate in health
but through the increased exercise
using up more of the tissues forming
the muscles of the body.-Detroit Free
