OUR FARMERS.
ON THE FARM.

One should always farm in such a
way as to maintain the fertility of the
SOIL If the farmer raises and sells off
the farm grain and hay to such an ex-
tent that there is not enough fertillz-
ing material returned to the soil to
preserve it's fertility, he is on the road
to ruin as far las the fertility of the
land is concerned. The time will come
when either he or those who come
after him will find themselves on
poor. worn out farm that refuses to
yield them a support, and the farms
will have to be abandoned. The only
road to successful farming lies in
keeping some kind of live stock to
consume the greater part of what
grows out of the soil, and carefully
saving and applying the manure.
The man who thinks his soil mex
haustible is mistaken, and if he lives
on it long enough will find it out. The
farm is the farmers bank, and the
fertility is the cash deposit which may
be checked out. No man ever had SO
much money in bank but that he, in
time, would get to the end of it, if he
continually checked out more than he
put in. 1t is advisable in all localities
to raise different crops on the farm
and practice regular system of ro-
tation, rarely having the same crop
on any given field more than one
year without some other crop inter-
vening. And in this rotation clover
ought to come in every third or fourth
year. A crop OF. clover will add ma
terially to the productiveness of the
farm. It's long roots penetrate the
subsoil, thus breaking it up and i'm
proving the mechanical condition,
and bringing up fertility from below,
where it has, to some extent, been
carried on when there was surplus
of water descending through it. 1t is
also one of the very few plants that
has the ability to extract nitrogen
from the air and deposit it in the soil.

A Yule Pie.

A savory dish is this, smacking Of
the right good cheer of old England,
but by no means to be despised by good
Americans. Line raised pie mold
with fine puff paste and spread on it a
layer OF very delicate sausage meat.
Have ready two chickens cut up into
neat portions, sweetbread also cut up,
some truffles, mushrooms and CHARTERED
hard boiled eggs. Pack the shape with
these, adding a little strong chicken
stock, cover in the usual way, bake, and
when cooked add little more chicken
stock, boiled with an equal amount Of
thin cream. Eat it hot or cold. This is
equally good made With game, but then
the stock added must be made from
game and richly favored, together with
a little sherry.

FLAVOR.

A correspondent Of the Lewiston
Journal abiding to the recent butter
exhibit at the Maine state dairy meet
ing says: The noticeable thing about
the scores given the butter at Bangor
is this, that with but few exceptions,
the Boston butter expert placed the
butter of all the exhibitors at the top
notch in the matter of grain, color,
sailing and general appearance.
Where the exhibits failed was in fla
vor-a most important point. The
other qualities all count in making
high class butter, but it is the flavor,
more than anything else, that distin-
cuisines gilt edged butter from the
kind that isn't gilt edged. It's flavor
that puts the gilt edge onto the arti-
cle-so to speak.
The great body of butter makers
throughout the state are not giving
due Importance to this one quality
the quality that sets the price in the
market. To know how to get the
highest flavor one must, for one thing,
understand the chemical changes and
the bacterial changes that take place
in the ripening cream, for upon the
ripening of the cream depends the de-
velopment of the choice flavor that
marks high grade butter.
1t is a difficult matter to develop
the fine flavor, but it is very easy
matter to destroy it. One has only
to let certain amount of Impurities
get into the milk and cream and the
fine flavor is hopelessly lost. A large
part of the poor butter that is thrown
upon the market is made poor because
Impurities are allowed to get into the
milk at milking time. How many
dairymen have their "tieups" scru-
pulously clean and sweet smelling
during the operation of milking? How
many brush the cows sides down
carefully and wipe the udders clean
before beginning to milk? How many
mixers are careful to wash their own
hands and brush their clothes before
sitting down to milk?
go into but few dairy barns where
proper cleanliness is exercised. In
many the air is filed with noxious
odors and the floor is slippery with
filth. The COWS, too, are often in all
stages of uncleanliness and but little
effort is apparently made to get them
clean before the milking is begun.
Under such conditions how can butter

1t is much more difficult to break
up baby's cold than an older per-
sons. Oiling the throat and chest
with some penetrating oil every night
and laying warm flannel over it
should be done as soon as a cold is
visible. A few drops of pure olive oil
should be given if there are any signs
of cough. 1t is wise to oil the bridge
of the nose and over the eyebrows to
loosen a cold in the head. Always be
careful to keep baby sufficiently
warm. It is safer to have hot water
bag or jug at the feet. If the cold
grows more severe give hot bath in
warm room. Oil thoroughly the
entire body and wrap in fannels and
blankets.

LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sheep and lambs+As whole the mar
ket was quiet, with but few changes of
my note over the buying and selling
averages of last week. What changes
there were had but little effect on the
general run of this weeks market. There
was, however, a decided drop in sheep
and lambs, the prices going down u "a
FEC lower than last week The arrivals
We're very small and the demand was not
active enough to make the amount go
quickly.
Cattle-There was a good supply Of
cattle on hand, and the buyers were Of
fering from 41A@5c per Id. Several of
the drOvers refused to sell and held on
to their cattle. There was a scarcity of
good beef in the Boston markets, and
this accounts for the heavy receipts.
There was much anxiety by the, local
slaughterers.
CalveS-There was a small supply of
calves on hand and all offerings were
quickly taken. Choice veals brought
from 61s @67sc per lb. The price aver
aged about 61@c.
Sheep and lambs-The supply of sheep
and lambs was much smaller than that
Of the previous week. The demand was
good and the prices stood firm at &c per
10 for the choice, and sheep stood at &c.

WaSsail Bowl,

At the head of traditional Yuletide
beverages stands the famous "wassail
bowl" Its composition varies somewhat
with the hand that mixes it, but the
following is one form that smacks Of
old fashioned good cheer: Pour a quart
of good ale into preserving pan with
pint of cider (this is optional, but if
omitted add little more ale) 4
ounces of sugar and about a tablespoonful
of pounded cloves Stir it over the fire
till the sugar is all melted and the
beer, etc., all but boiling. Roast or
5 apples (they should be crabs, but
common ones are very good). lay them
in the wassail bowl, sprinkle them with
about a teapsoonful of mixed spice, pour
on them the hot beer, slip in two or
three thin slices of lemon and serve.

TREA TMENT OF WINTER HOUSE
PLANTS.

While plants are bedded or plunged
in pots out of doors during the sum-
mer, they generally do well provided
the soil contains a fair amount of
nourishment and sufficient amount
of water is supplied. AS soon, how
ever, as the approach of cold weather
necessitates removing them to the
house, they are at once subjected to
marked changes in conditions of the
air, heat and light.
Probably one of the greatest diff
culties with which we have to con-
tend in keeping plants in the house is
that parching dryness of the atmos-
phere most noticeable in steam or
furnace heated houses. This condi-
ton may be overcome to a certain
extent by placing jars or pans of wa
ter on the radiators, or swinging them
in the pipes just below the registers,
thus furnishing constant supply of
moisture to the air by the evapora-
ton of the water.
The former must be prevented by
proper regulation of the heating ap-
paratus, and the latter by regular
washing of the foliage. In spraying
or sponging the foliage do not neg
lect the under sides of the leaves, for
it is there that insects first make their
appearance, and regular sponeing
will prevent them from starting or
spreading.
The temperature is another matter
for consideration. In the average liv-
ing room the temperature should be
from 68 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit,
which for the majority of plants will
do very well; but there are some,
such as carnations, violets, prim- roses,
callas, etc., which will thrive better in
a room where the temperature is from
to 10 degrees lower. At all times
guard carefully against placing plants
where they will be subject to cold
drafts, which are injurious and often
produce mildew if the foliage is damp.
Another important part in the cul-
tivation of house plants is the water,
which influences to great extent
success or failure. To lay down spe-
cific rules for watering would be
difficult matter. Too much water will
rot the roots, sour the soil and stop
the growth of the plant, and not
enough will starve it. The general
tendency is to overwater. Supply
water literally when necessary, then
withhold it entirely until the soil is in
condition to be watered again. The
soil in the pot should not be allowed
to become dry like dust, but just so it
will crumble nicely in the hand. Avoid
by all means the ruinous practice of
watering the plants daily, whether
they need it or not. Plants in small
pots usually dry out quickly, but this
may be prevented by placing them on
trays or Saucers on which there is an
inch or two of clean sand.
AS the best location in the room for
plants, place them where they will
get the greatest amount of fresh air,
light and sunshine, which is usually
about the windows. Flowering plants
should be given all the sunshine pos
sible. Foliage plants do not require
sunshine-that is, it is not absolutely
necessary do not consign them
to dark corner for that reason.

age For Cut Flowers.

age For Cut Flowers.
The season that tries the carver's
skill is with us. The whole ,i1atter OF
carving is capable of orderly and sue
cessful conduct, but he who trusts to
luck or chance is certain to come to
confusion. Preparation is half the bat
tie, and the needful preliminaries are
we'll summed up in Good Housekeeping:
The first requisite-beyond something
to carve-is proper knife This should
be of the best steel, and with blade
not too large. The extra size is seldom
or never needed and is quite often
hindrance rather than help, especially
where the work must be performed
within limited Space. The knife
should have a keen edge, and having
been we'll sharpened in advance it will
need no further attention during an or
binary dinner. Should it require sharp
ening let it be taken from the table,
and preferably from the room. as the
operation is not only inelegant, but Of
ten decidedly unpleasant to persons Of
sensitive nerves.
Care should be taken to have plat
ter of sufficient size to accommodate the
fowl or joint that is to be carved and
to leave room for the slices which will
be cut off, If this cannot be done, a
spare plate or small platter should be
provided for that purpose. The carver
should take into account the number of
persons to be served, and mentally cal
culate the amount which will be re-
quired for one generous serving. This
should be cut at once, and the remain
der of the stock should be left in the
best possible condition for subsequent
use. If additional servings are desired,
it is better to carve for them as needed.
This not only saves the appearance of
furnishing guests plate from the re-
manning fragments of the feast proper,
but gives an opportunity to carve espe-
cially to meet the preference of the per-
son to be served.
The quality of observation is one of
the greatest of aids to the man or wom-
an who would carve successfully and
deftly. Given proper tools, carving is
not a task requiring the exercise of any
special amount of strength, and the
lightest handed woman can carve as rap
idly and gracefully as the strongest
man, provided she understands the prop
er management of the knife and fork.
In the case of fowls, for instance, it is
of the greatest Importance to be able to
reach the joints surely and accurately.
In Europe, where the business of
carving is made study, in contrast to
the happy go lucky methods of America,
preliminary dissection Of fowls is re-
quired, the meat being used for any ap-
propriate fricassee or compete. In this
way the position of each joint can be
accurately determined, and actual ex-
pertinent will show just how to direct
the knife in order to certainly produce
the desired effect.
