Points On Soup Making.

Be particular to cool stock rapidly.
If it be allowed to cool partially on the
range before it is strained It will not
keep well. The more quickly it is
cooled after the straining the better
It is.
Cooking meat at a high and in dry
temperature develops a richer and more
savory flavor, so when it is possible il
is well to brown the meat before adj
ing the water TO it.
The less fat there is in the stock pot
the more delicate will be The flavor
of the soup. Cut off as much fat as pos
sible before putting the meat into the
pot
Herbs, vegetables and spices should
always be used in making stock, but
only in such quantities that all tho
fiavors viii be nicely blended. Here is
where one has a chance to display skill.

FEWER FARM FENCES.
How q Great Deal of Labor and Expense
Might BE Saved.

How g Great Deal of Labor and Expense
Might Be Saved.
The old-fasbioned zlgzag, or "Vir-
ginia" rail, fences so common forty
years ago are now seldom seen, and
perhaps are never built. Stone walls
are cum mbersome, oftel thrown down
by the frosts of winter and subsequent
thawing, and are not economical, ex-
cept on farms so covered with stone
that it is of first Importance to get rid
of them. Post and rail or slat fences
are expensive, more so in the aggregate
than most people would suppose with
out reflection on the subject Wire
fencing is probably as cheap and last
ing as any in use. There are serious
objections to barbed wire, and many
prefer the smooth wire, either straight
twisted or woven. But is it necessary
for farmers to build as many fences of
any kind as has been the custom in the
past? If the laws which most states
now have concerning cattle We're re-
spected and enforced, armers would
be relieved of the necessity of fencing
every foot of their land bordering on
the public roads. Nearly every farm
has fields that are never pastured, and,
it would seem, need not be inclosed.
The great burden upon farmers for
needless fencing is imposed not to keep
their own cattle in, but to keep other
peoples cattle out. 1 am pleased to
observe the tendency to build fewer
fences than formerly, not only to sub
divide farms, but especially along the
highways If these are left unfenced
and rows of shade trees planted out on
the boundary lines, farmers will be
saved deal of labor and expense, and
the country roads be made more
enjoyable and attractive. S. B. Keach,
In n. Y. Tribune.

the process until the camphor is dis.

ondary effect is to keep the bowels open and

case with other pills. Hence, their great
popularity with sufferers from habitual con-

care is required while using them.
Composed of the choicest, concentrated
vegetable extracts, their cost is much more

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
thediseased portion of theear. There is only
one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an in1amed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have arumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition of the mucous sur

Experiments with Clover.

The possibilities of the clover plant,
as told at various institutes last win
ter, have excited new interest for this
rival of timothy, and everywhere ques-
tions are asked and experiences with it
told. At nearly all of the institutes in
eastern Pennsylvania there has come
the complaint from individuals that
clover will not grow for them. and of
clover-sick soils. Abner Chaplin, Of
Chester county, tells such to grow field
peas or beans or some other of the
legumes on the land that is wanted for
clover, and the bacteria will be lodged
in the soil by them and clover will do
well there afterward. Eight rows,
twenty-five feet apart cured his clover

POTATO PLANTER.

Young Ohio Farmer.

A Good One Constructed by Brtgh,
Young Ohio Farmer.
On my return home from the Ohio
state university (where, as all agricul-
tural students should, l spent great
deal of time in the mechanical labora-
tory) l purchased secondhand set OF
blacksmith tools and went to work on
rainy days repairing our farm tools.
Not feeling justified in buying potato
planter for the planting of six or eight
acres and being too lazy to carry a
load and drop, as heretofore, resolved
to construct planter of my own, the
cut being u representation of the re-
suit.
1t is very simple. and yet does its
work completely. 1t consists of frame
supported on machine wheels, which
can be bought for price of old iron.
Wheels with a rim of cogs are preferred.
The shoe is made of quarter-inch
steel, eight inches wide at heel and
tapering off narrower, and is cut or
bent something the shape of corn
planter shoe or hoe. The rear should
be spread apart (the two being first
riveted together) SO as to allow the po-
tato to pass through to the ground.
This shoe is supported by four braces
riveted to the shoe and bolted on oppo-
site sides of the frame, thus allowing it
to swing. One of the rear braces ex-
tends above the frame, thus making a
lever with which the dropper, who
sits at the rear, can raise the shoe
