Value of a Manure spreader.

B. G. Mitchell, Pennsylvania ex.
pert says: ga great many writer's rec
ommend composing. Others say,
keep the manure under shelter and
fork it over until we'll rotted pile of
manure is secured, then haul out after
harvest and plow under, or haul out
in the spring. In my judgment and
experience / would most severely con-
demn any such methods of handling
or utilizing manure. If piled in ever
SO small heaps it will heat in less than
"a hours and begin to deteriorate.
There is nothing in composing. If
you have anything to put on the land,
put it on and do not tkeep it six months
or year, as you cannot add one par
ticle of value to it by so doing. Man
ure is never of any more value than
when it is first made
1t is ruinous practice that some
farmers have of throwing their man
ure out into the barnyard and letting
it remain for six months OF year,
where it will lose over 60 per cent. of
its value. For the last six years I
have made it an imperative rule to
save all of my manure, liquid and
solid, as near as possible, and top
dress my ground by means of man
ure spreader. This is the proper way
to apply manure under all circum-
stances. Take off one crop before
turning it down, so that it will become
thoroughly incorporated in the soil.
By so doing you will increase your
crop and the amount of humus. The
manure spreader has been the key
note to my success in farming. When
1 began 13 years ago 1 found that
there had been great improvement
in the farm implements, such as the
binder, the moving machine, the ted
der, the horse rake, the grain drill.
All are grand labor saving machines,
but manure spreader, unlike any
other farm machinery, can be profit
ably used at all times. One of them
can spread more manure than ten
men and do it great deal better. 1t
tears the material to pieces and dis.
tributes it so evenly that the plants
will all receive benefit. The spreader
can be regulated quickly to put on,
five, ten, fifteen or twenty loads to the
acre. 1t will spread a load in three
minutes where you put fifteen loads to
the acre.

Veal CrOquettes.

Small scraps of cooked veal may be
easily used in croquettes. If there is
only cup of cold veal add cup of
rice and put in quarter of cup of
mushrooms. Where there is abun-
dance of meat use only quarter of
a cup of rice and cup and three
quarters of minced meat In place
of the mushrooms half cup of
minced and cooked sweetbreads or of
calf's brains can be used. Add sea-
soning of three or four drops of onion
Juice, sprig of minced parsley, a
spray of celery and one of thyme.
Moisten the mixture with three-quar-
ters of cup of white stock, which
should be jellied, if it can be OBJ
tanned. Add saltspoonful of salt
and few shakes of caster of white
pepper. Finally stir one egg yolk in
the mixture and cook it in frying
pan for two or three minutes. Pour
the croquette mixture out on platter,
and when it is cold form it into cro-
quettes. Dip it in the beaten yolk of
an egg mixed with two tablespoonfuls
of milk. Roll the croquettes in sift-
ed breadcrumbs and fry them in boil
ing hot fat until they are delicate
brown. 1t should take about two
minutes.

The Persian Way.

The Shah of Persia may lie only in
the $50 class in matters of diplomacy
and he does not dare exactly to slap
Queen Victoria OF Kaiser William on
the back when the potentates chance
to meet; but, so far as matters in Per-
sia are concerned, when the Shah
makes law it is generally enforced
to the letter. Persian laws, as tra-
dition informs us, have always had
fashion of getting themselves obeyed
and the habit has continued even
through the nineteenth century.
A case in point may be cited in the
matter of Persian lamb skins. Per-
sian lamb skins are and have long
been an article of staple demand in
the commercial world. They have
commanded such good prices that the
supply was hardly equal to the de-
mand. Consequently, when the Shah
one day ordered spring lamb with
mint sauce, the cook was obliged to
confess that the dish was beyond the
command OF the Persian treasury. OF
course the cook was promptly be-
headed, but the Shah could not find
another cook who would agree to
furnish spring lamb whenever his
majesty desired to indulge in that
delicacy.
This naturally irritated the Shah.
After consulting with three or four of
his most trusted advisers, who could
see no way out of the difficulty and
who consequently disappeared from
their homes and society in mysteri
GUS manner, the Shah finally decided
that the commerce of Persia was
threatened by the extinction Of Per-
sian sheep and Persian lambs. Con-
sequently, he made decree that any
person found with lamb skins in his
possession for purposes of trade OF
commerce would be fined heavily.
Since then the export trade in Persian
lamb skins has stopped with blunt
and nauseating jar. Boston Adver-
tiser.

How to Restore Den uded Forests.


DIR. Rothrock, the state forestry
commissioner, in speech at the re-
cent annual meeting of the Lumber
mans Exchange, described the strip
ping of the forests of Pennsylvania by
the lumbermen and tanners since
1879. So far as effect was concerned
this was much like locking the stable
after the horse has been stolen. The
denuded hillsides, stretching all the
way from Williamsport on the west
branch of the Susquehanna to the
Allegheny, will not be recovered with
forests by speechmaking. Had some
sensible system of removing the
merchantable timber been employed,
leaving the rest to come to maturity,
these denuded hillsides, would still be
forest covered.
While the picture of present DESC
lation, where once mighty forests
overspread the country, cannot be
presented too often as an object les
son upon how not to treat our re-
naming timbered area, the most.prac-
tical work for reforesting a part of
our forest-stripped domain will be
some agitation for protecting these
sections against forest fires. Land
that has been stripped Of all its tim
ber and burned to a condition of bar
rem desolation will reforest itself in
course Of time if protected from fire,
and the state bureau of forestry should
bend its every energy to the securing
and effectual enforcement of legisla-

Treat,uent of verbena Seed.

Verbena seed should be soaked
three or four hours in tepid water be-
tore being plan ed in shallow box OF
soil with good drainage. It will ger
inmate in twelve or fourteen days.
Water we'll, but iudiciously; if you
give too much the plants will damp
of. When the young plants are out
of the seed leaf transplant into pots,
and when large enough set in the open
ground. The verbena, like the phlox
and portulaca, likes the sun. One Of
its good qualities--and it has many
is that it lasts long time in water.

A Potato Surprise for an Invalid.

Take smooth, medium-sized pota-
to, wash and cut the small end partly
of, leaving just enough attached to
. form little hinge, scoop out part of
the raw potato and fill with beef or
mutton that has been prepared by re-
moving all gristle and fat, chopped
very fine and seasoned. When filed
tie the potato cover on and bake until
tender. When done take from the
oven, raise the cover, and if the meat
looks dry turn over it O little dress
ing made with butter, water and -four,
or, if there is any on hand, little
meat gravy. Serve in the skin, and,
as its name suggests, it will be q
tempting surprise. Or, for change,
simply bake the potato, and when
done cut off the little end and scoop
out all inside; season this with butter,
salt and chopped celery; beat up fine
and light, then refill the skin and
serve.

Household Hints.

A speck is what you can take on the
tip of penknife.
Never pierce meat while cooking, or
the juice will escape.
Veal must never be laid on a dish,
but hung in an airy place till cooked.
Egg shells should be thrown into
a stock-pot directly the contents are
used.
Choose butter by its fresh odor,
freedom from buttermilk and streaks
of color.
To give an appetizing favor to o
broiled heefsteak, rub cut onion
over the hot platter with the butter.
To scald milk, put it in Jug or ba.
sin in pan of cold water over the
fire. When the water boils the milk
is scalded.
A cup is all the cup will hold with.
out running over-full to the brim.
A scant cupful is within fourth of an
inch of the top.
Fish for frying should always be
dried thoroughly and dredged thickly
with -four before being brushed oven
with egg and breadcrumbs.
To improve sweetbreads and give
them fine flavor, soak them in mild
lemon juice water an hour, and then
boil twenty minutes in beef stock.
When favoring soup, never use
powdered spices, as they form sedi.
ment at the bottom of the plate and
spoil the appearance. Whole cloves
and other spices should be stuck into
the vegetables while boiling. Long
pepper is superior to ground, but il
requires several hours boiling.

Flowing Under Glover for Corn.

Where clover is new seeding, by
which is meant such as was sown a
year ago this season, it may pay to
let it grow until nearly the first Of
June and then plow it under as a
preparation for corn or potatoes.
There will in the latter part of May be
considerable clover growth, which be-
ing succulent and rich, will rot rapidly
in the soil. But for the second years
clover ley there is no use in waiting
More or less June grass will have
come among the clover by the second
year, and this needs to be plowed
early, so as to set it to rotting as
quickly as possible.

All that DR.. Rothrock says about
the desolated timber counties of the
state is true and it cannot be too
