CrystaIIized Mint LenYes

The crystallized mint leaf is the
latest novelty in confections. Table
Ialk gives the following recipe:
Select fresh leaves, pick from the
stalk and wash thoroughly in cold
water, then dry in a towel and arrange
lhem in shallow pans or dishes. Pour
over them sirup made by measure
win twice as much sugar as water,
Drihg to the boiling point, boil for a
moment then let stand until blood
warm before pouring over the leaves.
SET away overnight. Next day drain
on the sirup, reheat and boil until
httle dropped into cold water can be
rolled into a firm ball Set aside and
when nearly cool pour a second time
over the leaves. If properly done, in
"a hours each loaf will be covered with
thin coating of tiny crystals Gently
pour off the sirup and let the leaves
stand where it is warm but very dry
until the crystals are dried. Other
leaves and flowers may be prepared in
the same way. We would say. how
ever that to properly crystalline
leaves and flowers is an art in itself
and requires considerable experience.

GRAPES AND WIRE FENCES

We noted lately a wild grapevine
which had appropriated a section of
barbed wire fence in a cornfield upon
which were over one hundred punches
of fine wild grapes. Let us look at this

along that line of wire fence and stick
In some wild grapevines a rod apart.
That's all you need do, and in a couple
of years your good wife can 20 there
and get all the grapes she wants to
make the finest jelly made in Amer
lea. Or you may do better than this if
you will. You can buy hundred
Moore's Early, Brighton, Niagara or
Worden vines from your nurseryman
and plant them rod apart along this
fence, and, while these will have to be
pruned and laid down and covered dur
Ing the winter and given q good mulch
Ing in summer, you will be more than
repaid for your trouble with an abun-
dance of splendid grapes. This is a

HOPPERS FOR POULTRY.
How They Are Caught and Pressed
to>Bricks For Shipping,

Grasshoppers are being put to a new
use out in Nebraska. The farmers
have killed incredible numbers of them
by the help Of machine which is per-
haps the most effective ever devised
for the purpose. 1t is called a "hop-
perdozer' and is nothing more or less
than a large fiat pan with a small
amount of kerosene contained in a de
preston in the rear part Of it. The
contrivance, being attached to horse,
is pushed along in front of the ami
NAL as the latter is driven across the
fields. Pretty nearly every grasshop-
per encountered jumps upon the pan
and is promptly suffocated by the kero-
sene.
This ingenious instrument has been
In use for number of years in parts
Of the west, but hitherto it has not oc-
cured to the farmers to make any
use of the dead grasshoppcrs. Most
commonly they were burned though
some more enterpriSing agriculturists
turned n portion of them to account
rs poultry feed. They found that the
hens liked them exceedingly, for it is
fact that a graSshopper is to a hen
what a canyasback duck is to human
epicure-thc very choicest and most
esteemed of dclicacies.
Hence the idea which is now being
developed on a commercial scale. The
grasshoppers after being killed by the
hopperdo2er, are left in windows in
the fields, where they are soon dried.
When they have been exposed to the
sun for a sufficient time TO reduce
them to a properly desiccatcd condi-
ton they are gathered up with rakes
shoveled into carts and conveyed to
shed, where they are put into a
press somewhat resembling an ordi-
nary cheese press and converted into
solid bricks.
The bricks are shipped in quantities
to poultry raisers who find this new
kind Of hen provendor most satisfac-
tory, and they are anxious to get more
of It. Apparently it is great en-
courager of egg production.
1t Is not necessary TO grind the bricks
before feeding the stuff to the chick
ems, but merely to break them into
nieces and soften with WATER q ~

me more and more as l have occasion

In fact, | seldom am willing to say

In New England most cases Of diar

proper feeding.
Until late years we had little trouble
from the food used. Birds had free
run, going as they pleased upon the
farm or over the village lot. This
gave them chance to get the most Of
their food where they pleased and
when they wished The corn fed was
balanced up by the clover leaves and
seeds from the haymow, and bugs
and worms added the animal element
needed. Now the old way is changed.
The birds are fenced in from garden
and ncighbOrs and are dependent upon
their owner for quality and quantity
of food. Now poultrymcu are crowd
ing their birds to get rapid growth and
the largest possible number of eggs.
All this is worth considering if we

that the poultry business is not over

Feeding Bran.

Fran is excellent for poultry, and one
point in favor of bran is that it con
tains n much larger proportion of lime
than any other cheap food derived
from grain. and, as the shells of eggs
are composed of lime it is essential
that food rich in lime be provided. 1t
may be urged that the use of oyster
shells will provide lime, but it will be
found that it is the lime in the food
that is most serviceable because it is
in form that can be better digested
ana assimilated than carbonate of
lime.
Glover is also rich in lime. and when
a mess of cut clover and bran is given
the fowls they will need no oyster
shells or other mineral matter. DO not
forget that in summer, however, all
kinds Of foods should be used with
Judgment, If the hens have free
range, give no food at all as long as
they are laying, but if they begin to

sential, as the fowls cannot tnen secure
