Flavor of Flesh.

The Live Stock Journal says with
much emphasis and with truth that
.tthe meat of all animals is affected by
the food they eat; the ducks taste fishy
that live on fish; beechnuts bacon from
pigs fed on beechnuts has the finest fla
yor. and hogs allowed to feed on stink
ing. filthy Stops and on dead animals
nust produce meat that is unfit for hui
nan food. In this land of abundant
food we should feed sound, clean,
healthy food and fresh, clean slop or
clean water"

Feeding for Eggs in Winter.

Many writer's advise that far 1ers
should force their hens to lay in winter
by heavy feeding. as eggs are high in
price in cold weather. 1t is not so easy
to force hens to lay as may be sup
posed. Hundreds of hens that are well
fed in winter do not lay. The fact is
that the food is but factor in the
matter. 1t is not natural for birds to
lay in winter, and to induce hens to lay
at that season they must have spring
and summer conditions, such as warm
quarters, an opportunity to exercise
any food of varied character, avoid
ing grain in excess.

Fried Chicken.

Wash the chickens until all the blood
is out, cut them in pieces, rub very
little salt over them, then roll each piece
in -four. Fry them (coyered) till
nice brown color in lard or butter. Make
a gravy of cream and butter; If the
cream is not very thick add little
flour: season to taste, adding little
mace or nutmeg as desired.

Hea1thfuIness of Fruit.

Eat some fruit each day, to keep the
stomach in tone. The acid of sour
fruits, as of the apple and pear, is the
best corrective to the nausea that
comes from eating too much fat meat,
and there is no better way of taking it
than In the apple sauce made with
boiled-down cider. 1t is always appre-
ciated.

a horse becomes frightened, and one
rein is dropped, there is no possible way
of covering it, if it is not fastened to
the other. Many a runaway has result
ed from failure to observe this pre-
caution.

Vinegar added to the water in which
fish is boiled will make the fish firmer
and improve it's flavor, While when it is
put into the water in which meat or
poultry is stewing it will make the flesh
more tender. A tablespoonful is enough
for the fish, while twice that quantity
may safely be used for the meat.

Bring Fruit Trees Into Bearing.

Bring Fruit Trees Into Bearing.
Fruit trees of any kind frequently
grow with great luxuriance. In this
they are usually unfruitful. No tree
commences to flower and fruit until its
vegetative exuberance has been some
what checked. Those who understand
the art of fruit culture thoroughly can
bring these hayward trees into a
straighter line of duty by root-pruning
them. 1t is effected by digging trench
around the tree and then filling it up
with the earth that has been thrown
out. This cutting off the ends of the
roots causes check to the extreme vigor,
and the result is the production Of
flowers instead of branches. The dis
lance from the trunk that the trench
should be dug will, of course, depend
upon the age and size of the tree, and
also its ratio of luXuriance; the aim
should be to dig so as to cut off about
one-th1rd Of its roots. The pear, as
well as other fruit trees, is particu-
larly benefited by root-pruning. It can
be carried out at any time during the
fall or winter season. = Meehan's
Monthly.

we could make our statement later, we
were cut off from any statement and
denied the RICH. to reply to these state.
