The Moving Machine.

We remember when the first now
ing machines began to be used there
were many farmers who expressed an
opinion that they cut SO close to the
ground that the grass roots would be
burned out by the heat of the sun if
there was not rain soon. Probably this
has sometimes happened upon certain
soils, where the roots did not penetrate
deeply, and where the stand of grass
was so thin that the stubble did not
shade the soil at all to prevent the evap-
grafton from it. Yet many of those
same farmers cut their grass closer to
the ground with the hand scythe than
the moving machine cut; that is, they
did so in the center of the swath, for
they were not what we call good now
ers, pointing in and out and leaving the
stubble level, but cut with swing that
left each swath what we called ''hog
trough" high where the swaths met,
but very low in the center. The most
obvious way to remedy the danger Of
cutting too low would be to set the
knives higher, but it is not the best
way. Make the soil light and porous
by having plenty of vegetable matter
in it, and rich enough to grow thick
turf, and there is little danger of the
sunshine injuring the roots, and a
shower or even a heavy dew will cause
it to brighten up very quickly .-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

APRICOT lam.

Select large apricots. quite ripe but
not soft, pare them, cut them in half
and remove the stones. Lay them OBJ
dish with the hollow side of the fruit
on top. The proportion of sugar is one
pound to every pound of fruit weighed
after pairing and stoning, and it should.
be coarsely powdered and sprinkled
over the aproicots in the dish. Break
the stones of the apricots, take out the.
kernels, throw them into boiling water,
when the skins may be easily removed.
Add the kernels to the jam. When the
apricots and sugar have stood twelve
hours turn them together into the pre-
serving pan, with the kernels also. Heat
them slowly, then boil until the pieces
of apricot are tender, which will take
thirty minutes. Then take them out
and put into small jars; boil the syrup
alone for few minutes until it is suf-
ficiently thick. Then pour it over the
apricots in the jars.

Bioat in Cattle.

When cattle are first turned on young
clover in the spring there is danger of
bloat. The remedy which we use is a
very simple and effective one and can
be quickly applied. It consists simply
of a round stick about two inches in
diameter and twelve inches long. with
piece Of small rope attached to each
end. In case of bloat place the stick
crosswise in the mouth and fasten it
there by tying the pieces Of rope to-
gether over the head. This permits the
gas formed by the clover to pass of.
a three-ounce dose of kerosene should
also be given. II the animal is not too
far gone, cure will be effected in half
an hour Il a, Moeriock.

The KISS AT THE DOOR.

In the days of the lance and the spur,
When the hero went forth to the
fight.
Oft he carried a token from her
Whom he worshipped as lover and
knight,
And when fierce surged the battle
around,
And when close pressed the merci-
less foe,
Twas that token that drove off de-
spair
And gave victory's strength to his
blow.
Not a hero of knighthood am l,
But a warrior in industry's strife,
Where the lance that I WELD is my
And the lady serve is my wife.
Yet a token / carry each day,
Full as precious as any of yore.
And it stoutens my heart for the fray;
IT'S my loves morning kiss at the
door.
For his faith will the martyr endure,
BY the sunset the artists inspir'd,
At the blast of the bugle and fire
Is the soldier to gallantry fired.
But whatever may others exalt,
For myself / shall ask nothing more
AS a prompter to worthiest deeds
Than the kiss that get at the door.

Frozen Watermelon,

An excellent way to serve water
melon is to split ripe melon in half,
scoop out the center, rejecting the
seeds. Put in bowl, and with a silver
fork pick or chop lightly into small
pieces. Add the juice of one lemon
and half a pound of powdered sugar.
Turn the mixture into freezer, pack
in ice, and salt and turn very slowly
for Is minutes, when the mixture
should be like snow. Serve in glasses,
adding a teaspoonful of sherry to each
glass.
