Various Ways of Turning Them Into De-
licious Dishes.
To serve apples with cream take very
ripe apples; pare and slice; place in
bowl and sprinkle with powdered sugar
and little nutmeg; set on ice until
cold, and serve with thick, rich cream.
Apples and peaches iced make very
easily-prepared dessert. Pare we'll
Favored apples and ripe sweet peaches
in the proportion of three peaches to
one apple; chop into small pieces; place
in a fruit bowl in alternate layers,
sprinkle with powdered sugar and
pounded ice. Serve Immediately.
A very acceptable breakfast dish Is
baked apples. Wipe sweet, ripe apples
clean; remove the cores; stand them in
baking pan; fill the centers with but
ter and sugar, sprinkle lightly with
cinnamon and powdered sugar. Bake
in moderate oven until tender Serve
cold in their own sirup.
Coddled apples are made of tart, ripe
apples of uniform size with the cores
carefully removed Stand the fruit in
the bottom of a porcelain-lined kettle;
spread thickly with sugar; cover the
bottom of the kettle with boiling water,
and allow the water to steam on the
back of the range until tender. Take
up carefully without breaking; pour
the strip over the apples and stand
aside to cool.
To make apple snow, pare, core and
steam half dozen large tart apples
until tender; press through sieve and
set aside to cool; when cold add a cup
of sugar and the juice of lemon; beat
the whites of six eggs; add carefully to
the apples, and serve Immediately.

Agriculture of the Future.

Unless the world receives a back-set,
such as would result from world
wide war, and the inevitable concomi-
tants of famine and pestilence, the
vital subject of the future will be,
wherewith shall we be fed? When
the populations of America and Aus
tralia become as dense as those of Asia
and Europe, this subject will acquire
an import it never had before. Until
science has progressed far beyond its
present position, the soil must be the
great fountain of food for the hungry
millions of earth. In few years all
reclaimable lands in this country will
be subjected to the pillow, and the
lordly estates held for the pleasure
of mobiles in Europe must be surren-
dered to the man with the agricultural
implement. These reforms will answer
the purposes of the present generation,
but at present rates of increase there
are those now born who will see the
absolute necessity of bringing every
available acre into active cultivation
But some will say there is over produc-
ton of foods stuffs now, and cite pres
ent prices as proof of the statement.
There is really no over production.
Present low prices are the result of
causes entirely artificial, among which
is the inability to buy on account of
widespread poverty caused by the
accumulation of the wealth of the
world in the hands of few. If every
hungry mortal had enough to eat and
some for tomorrow the surplus stocks
held above the ability of the poor to
buy, even at present prices, would not
exist The soil is the life of the coun-
try, and as the years roll by, must en-
nance in value, and as intelligence and
scientific methods of production are
employed, the avocation of the farmer
will surely be exalted above every
other in public estimation. When the
times here predicted are fully come,
happy will be he who owns enough OF
the earth's surface to serve his purpose
under laws that will benefcially secure
him in his rights again.-Texas Farm

How to Catch a Fowl.

Few persons know how to secure a
fowl to advantage. Never seize fowl
by the tail, if a fine bird, nor touch the
back, but grasp both legs at once with
firm, tight, quick hold, and then
raise free from the ground or perch and
hang the body down clear of any OBJ
stacle. This method does not ruffie the
plumage or turn a feather, which, in a
fine bird, must be avoided. When the
web of the feathers is once broken it
can never be united again, and where
much handled this often occurs, giving
the bird a ragged appearance. 1t is
the source of much annoyance to nice,
clean, smooth bird to have the plum
age ruffied Their bodily covering is
regarded with the utmost care, and the
luster and beauty of it indicate the
health and strength of the fowl.-Kan'
sas Farmer.

HERE AND THERE.

1t is waste work and harvest of
disappointment to try to make money
out of poorly-made butter. Fools are
not all dead, but most of them who
buy bad butter at good grices are.
In portions of the great west farm.
ers are feeding their wheat to hogs,
The wheat is worth in the market
about forty-fve cents, and corn is only
about two cents below wheat, and the
latter is far the best feed.
Farmers are often told to work as
hard and live as cheaply as their grand
fathers did and they would get along
all right. This is usually the advice of
street loafers, who work industriously
with their jaws.
Wherever clover succeeds, the farm
er who neglects to grow it is standing
in his own moonshine. Nothing makes
cheaper or better pork, or beef, or milk,
or fertilizer, and on these four things
hang all the law and the profits of
farmers.
1t will in a few years be found that
much of our subsoil clays are excel
lent fertilizers. Who can doubt this
who has observed the luxuriant vege-
tation on railroad embankments, where
the clay has been turned up and ex-
posed to atmospheric influences.
Every owner of mich COW should
strive to make her happy and con-

food is a necessity, but bran and beets
can never take the place of that kind
of treatment that so notably conduces

Free range is not positive neces-
sity, but saves great amount of labor
and care. When fowls are kept in con-
fnement they must be supplied those

free range
Manure the entire garden liberal
ly. Haul out ut once all that you can
spare, and then haul little more, and
spade it well into the vegetable beds.
Remember that your garden can not be
too rich, and that no piece of ground
pays more generously for manure than
the vegetable garden.
Some horses never lie down when
stabbed, and this habit is point
against the animals durability. All
horses sleep standing, but most of them
lie down once in twenty-four hours,
and by so doing relax ami ease the mus
cles. A horse that does not spread
himself out occasionally is liable to at
least ten-per-ccnt. cut on his value
otherwise.
After crop has matured it seems
poor economy to allow any of it to be
wasted This holds good with grass in
the pastures, grain in the fields, vege-
tables in the garden, or fruit in the or
chard or small fruit-plot. Every part
of the crop should be utilized so far as
possible to the best advantage, and it
is the avoidance of waste that helps
materially to increase the profits

Salt for Animals.

Salt is necessary for all vegetarian
animals, and aids in the digestion Of
the food. The belief that it is pre-
ventive of intestinal worms is well
founded for these parasites are found
mostly in animals of imperfect diges-
ton. The undigested food encourages
these pests, as they feed upon it or
upon the copious mucus secreted in the
bowels of animals suffering from indi-
gestion. Salt should be given regular
ly with every feed, if cut food is used,
otherwise in the form of a lump of rock
salt kept in the manger, where it may
always be reached.-Southern Farm.

JOHNSON GRASS.
How to Get Rid of 1t Where 1t Has Be-
come Obnoxious.

How to Get Rid of 1t Where 1t Has Be
come Obnoxious.
A very experienced agriculturist rec
ommends the turning in of hogs upon
the grass with privilege to root all they
desire. AS soon as they have rooted
out the grass four or five inches deep
take good sulky plow, sixteen inches
wide if possible, and turn the soil per-
fectly clean about twelve inches deep.
This, in his opinion, brings two desira-
BILE results-fattens the hogs and gets
rid of the grass. Herbert Post,
who is recognized as good authority
on johnson grass, remarks: "In kill
ing out Johnson grass, there is right
time and a wrong time to attempt it.
In any other summer months than July
and August, plowlng cultivates it. In
July the sap descends to the roots, and
they become full of moisture. Then
take two-horse pillow, keeping the
points sharp, and break up the ground
to the depth of six inches, at least, eight
inches if possible, leaving, as far as you
can, the turf standing upon its edge.
The sun and rains take the earth from
the roots so exposed, and they soon die.

If some of the hens are molting and
require food different from the others,
it is better to separate the molting
hens from the others, or remove the
laying hens. 1t will not answer to feed
laying hens too heavily during warm
weather, while melting hens should be
fed as much as they will eat twice a
day. When some of the hens are very
fat and do not lay it will be of no adj
vantage to retain them unless they are
about to mott. All hens that do not
begin to mott before August is over
will not lay in the winter, and should
be sold. Farm and Fireside.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
WHAT IT COSTS.
A Michigan Farmers Account with Ten
Acro Cnrn Field.

Michigan Farmers Account with Ien-
Aero Corn Field.
We have asked ourrcuders more than
once TO give their estimates on the cost
of raising corn. 1t may be that none
of them have kept account with their
corn fields and are not prepared to give
the figures necessary to show the net
expense of cultivation, gathering, etc.
This is quite probable, but it is more
important that the subject be dis
cussed and all the facts brought
out that bear upon it. Corn is
king among the crops of most OF our
farms, and farmers ought to know as
nearly as possible what profit there is
in growing IT, OF course the question
of profit can not be settled indefinitely,
for it depends on many circumstances
over which farmers have no control as
foreign demand, drought, rainy sea-
sons, etc, influencing the price; but
the items of cost are nearly the same
one year with another, and may be set
down with considerable eXactness.
The cost of the crop being known, the
profit it gives at any given selling price
is also known.

Farmer, who is one of that rare class
of farmers who keep an account book

Profit OF crop. .................S

This field was evidently prepared
and cultivated in the very best man
ner. Only one-third the cost of ma
nuring the ground was charged, be-
cause the manure was expected to give
equal benefit to two other crops-wheat
and clover-that follow it in rotation.
The fodder is credited with pretty
liberal amount, but not too much if
rightly prepared and fed. The yield
was small, but last year was an eXcep-
tionally bad corn year, and two years
previous ninety-five bushels of ears per
acre were grown upon the same piece.
As labor of all kinds, with interest
on the value of the land, was charged
against the crop, $6.51 per acre was
quite fair return. The cost per bushel
was 324 cents, but from this ought to
be deducted 12 cents per bushel on ac-
count of the fodder, making the net
cost of the corn, in this case, 2O4 cents.
A merchant, or other business
man, on inspecting this state
ment, would exclaim at once:
why, TINS Is l0O per cent.
profit. It's big pay. Wouldn't want
anything better" But when it is con-
sidered that corn is in rotation of three
crops, two of which do not pay nearly
so well, and that the farmers team,
against which about one fourth of the
expense is charged, must be fed and
cared for throughout the year, it is not
cent too much. But let us have esti-
