Simple Remedies.

1t is often very inConvenient to send for
a doctor, and if housekeeper knew more
of the simple remedies of which our grand
mothers used, it would often be unneces
sary. Many serious ailments might be
prevented by giving the proper medicines
as soon as the symptoms are manifest.
A cold can usually be broken up in
time, and the principal agent in effecting
a cure is plenty of heat. Battle the feet in
mustard water that is as warm as it can be
borne, and put the patient to bed with a
warm iron to his feet. Put the juice of a
lemon in cup with a tablespoonful Of
sugar. fill the cup with hot water and let
him drink it. This will produce a sweat
which counteracts the cold. If he has a
cough, prepare a medicine as follows ::
Put one ounce each of slippery elm, fax
seed and licorice, one fourth of pound of
sugar and one half pint of molasses in one
pint of water to soak three or four hours,
then put them on the stove to simmer an
hour and half, it is then ready to strain
and bottle for use. Give tablespoonful
every two or three hours. An old and
we'll tried remedy for the ear ache is COM
posed of sweet oil and laudanum in equal
parts. Warm it little and put two drops
in the ear with dropper, very con-
venient little article which every family
should possess. Put small piece of cot
ton in the ear and the child will soon be
quietly sleeping. Warm onion juice is
often used in the same way. A mustard
plaster placed over the lungs, under the
shoulder blade, in fact wherever there is a
dull pain will relieve it in a short time.
This should not be allowed to remain I'M
til it makes blisters.

The Danish Way with Hams.

"Talk about your Christmas turkey
stuffed with Eye Italian chestnuts, or Lynn
Haven oysters, all you want to-" said the
transplanted Southern Colonel, as reported
by the New York Sun, "but | said give
me thin slice of Southern ham cooked
as they cook it in Virginia or South Caro-
lima, and you can keep all of your stuffed
birds"
II used to think that you Southern
people knew how to cure and cook hams,
too, until went to Denmark" answered
the returned traveller, "but, bless your
soul, your Southern ham tastes as tame
and fiat by the side of Denmark ham as
Northern hara does compared with South
ern. Ofcourse, ham has got to be good
and properly cured at the start, but the
biggest part OF the sweet, juicy tasty ham
lies in the cooking. Now, I've been in
seventeen countries, and | have never
The nearer the bone the sweeter the
meat can not often be applied to ham
that you strike in this country, becase
half the time the meat is about half cook
ed when you get toward the bone. Now,
in Denmark you might carve hundred
hams day and each one would be done
through and through, and yet they are
only allowed to come to a. boil"
'Why, how can they be done, them"
asked the transplanted Southern Coloners
transplanted wife. "Ham is thing that
should be boiled for hours and hours over
a hot fire. Now in Virginia where the
Colonel was born. we always put a ham
on right after breakfast when we want it
ready for a midday dinner, and further
more, the cook keeps little niger busy
keeping up the fire all the time the ham is
on the stove. Ham isn't ham if it isn't
boiled before it is baked.
"That's where you and the people in
Denmark disagree" remarked the return
ed traveller. "They say emphatically that
ham, to be Thoroughly cooked, shall not be
boiled. How do they cook iii In hay
box. What is hay box? Hay boxes
are used great deal in Denmark. A hay
box is an ordinary wooden box with a
lining Of hay about foot thick. The hay
is covered with cheese cloth to keep it in
place and for durability OF course your
hay box can be of any size. but the vessel

ahead of the story. When a Danish
housewife wishes to cook ham she pre-
pares it properly about dark, and puts it
into a pot of cold water. which she places
over the fire AS soon as the water
comes to hard boil she lifts the pot from
the fire and puts it into hay box, care
fully ring the top of the box with
close fitting lid When she gets up in the
morning the ham is Thoroughly cooked to
the bone Will the water boil in the hay
box? o. no! but it keeps at the same
temperature all night, and an even tenn
perature is the st cret Of perfect cooking.
The water is just as hot when she gets up
in the morning as when she goes to bed at
night-the ham is done, and she doesn't
have to worry her head as to whether it
will be done to the bone by dinner time
and. best of all, she never has to sent it to
the kitchen to be cooked over. A ham
cooked in this way retains all the juice and
sweetness, and fairly makes your mouth
water to think about it,"

SPECIAL MATURING.
whom Nitrogen. Phosphates and Potash
Are Most Applicable.

Are Most Applicable.
The question, what crops will DO
specially benefited by given fertiliz-
ing element" is often asked. Professor
Kedzie of Michigan offers in bulletin
No. 16l what he oharacterizes as not
full answer but "a few suggestions"
The leguminous crops, such as the
clovers, peas, beans, vetches etc., are
called nitrogen producers, because they
derive most of their nitrogen from the
air, and they receive little benefit from
the use of heterogeneous manures. Sugar
beets produce much larger crop when
fed with manures rich in nitrogen, but
the quality of the beet is greatly re
duced. the overgrown beets containing
an increased amount of nonsaccharine
matter lowering the coefficlent OF
purity. Such manures and unfermented
stable manure are avoided in raising
sugar beets. Combined nitrogen is often
called stimulant, because it promotes
a rapid and large growth OF leaf and
fiber. In truck farming and Ahising of
succulent crops for immediate sale in
the market the forcing quality OF nitro
gen comes in good play. This is seen IN
tho growth of juicy fruits like the
straw berry. Some gardeners as soon as
the frost is out of the ground and win
ter mulch is removed apply 800 to 400
pounds per acre of dried blood or hen
manure, raking it into the ground and
securing larger crop thereby
The purest example of heterogeneous
manure is nitrate of soda. 1t is entirely
soluble in water and hence liable to be
washed out of the soil in wet spell
unless a growing crop approprlates 1t
and saves from loss in very dry sea-
son it sometimes burns the CROP" Its
best effect is seen when it is applied to
a crop which has little power to obtain
a supply of nitrogen, yet needs to make
rapid growth in a short time to produce
a paying crop. A good illustration is
winter wheat, which makes such
wonderful growth in the latter part of
May and in June in leaf and stalk for
nation. If light dressing 600 pounds
per acre. was sown on the wheatfield
the fore part of May, better heading out
and more wheat might be the result.
No plant can grow i'll the absence OF
phosphates, and these must be found In
the soil. They are necessary for every
crop, but are specially beneficial for
certain crops-the cloyers and other
crops of this class, turnips and all root
crops and grain crops of every kind.
One special influence of phosphates-
viz, the early ripening of crops-makes
this fertilizing element of special value
to market gardeners who raise melons,
squashes, grapes etc, that are liable to
injury by frost in the fall. A difference
of two weeks in ripening may make the
difference between profit and loss.
Potash is in universal demand in
plant life. 1t is in demand with pota-
toes and other roots, the grasses and
clover. Fruit trees require a large
amount of potash. The ash of grape
vine contains 80 per cent and of the ap-
pie tree - per cent of potash, and fruits
are called potash feeders. "
