How to Pick Flowers.

It is the pride of every gardner occa-
sionally to give a bunch of flowers of
his own growing to friends who come
to visit him, but, unhappily, both
flowers and bunch are often spoiled in
the course of preparation. Flowers
should never be broken off from plants
with the fingers; If the stem is at all
tough the plant Is dragged at and in
iured. Neither is the use of scissors
desirable, says Home Chat. The best
method of plucking is with the aid of
a sharp knife, and the stem should not
be cut straight across at right angles,
but in a slanting direction. In max
ing up" the bunch, too, the best and
most striking blossom or blossoms
should form the centre, and they
should be added to fTom outside, the
bunch being turned round at inter
walls.

Keeping Old Hay.

We used to say that old hay well
kept in the barn was batter than money
at interest, but the following para
graph from an exchange leads us to
think that it is possible ito keep it too
long for profit. A farmer of Laconia,
NJ H., has been feeding out hay to his
stock this spring which was harvested
in the spring OF 1S57-forty- years
ago. This hay is yet clean and bright
being in every way as handsome and
perfect as when put into the barn. We
do not remember the price of hay in
1857, but about 1867 we sold hay Of
our own curing at about $50 per ton.
But if that hay was worth but $40
per ton forty-fve years ago, and had
been sold and the money placed az
interest it would have bought Il great
deal of hay this spring, while at com.
pound interest the price of n ton would
have been enough by this time to have
paid for a pretty good New Hamp-
shire farm. While it is not a good
idea to sell out so closely on non
perishable produce as to be obliged to
buy again before another crop can be
harvested, we think forty-fve years is
too long to hold a crop. We used to
like to sell when we could get a fair
price and just retain what we thought
might be needed at home.-Americau

After Smelling the corn we place it in
some dish and pour boiling water over
it, meanwhile stirring it. The dish
must have a perforated bottom so that
the hot water will drain off quickly
and not kill the corn, as it will do if
the corn is left standing in it. We use
an old dishpan with holes punched in
the bottom. This makes a very good
dish, as it is shallow, being preferable
to a deeper one. After this process
take some coal tar. from two to four
tablespoonfuls to the bushel, and stir
it thoroughly into the warm corn. II
the corn is warm and is stirred long
enough, the tar will coat each kernel
perfectly. Be careful not to get on
too much. The corn may now be
spread in the sun to dry. Flour or
middlings or in fact any fine substance
may be stirred into it to prevent stick
ing. l have seen road dust used, but
as we use a planter we never use this,
as it would injure the running parts
Corn treated in this way will rarely be
troubled by crows, as there is some
thing about the tar that they will not
eat. In fact, l have seen hens leave it
where it had been scattered about
after being tarred.-Robert H. Smith
in New England Homestead.

Perhaps Il IS the endless variety Of
beautiful chintzes and drapery silks

Four cardboard sides of equal size
each a little larger at the top than the
bottom. and a square Of cardboard the
size Of the bottom edges. are cut. Each
piece Is covered with chintz and lining,
and ribbons are attached at every cor
ner and IN the middle Of the long sides.
For travelling they are laid fiat. When
the boarding house or hotel room is
reached they are tied together, and a
fetching and useful addition to the
usually barren apartment is made
Work baskets are made IN the same
way, only, as a rule, FIVE, six or seven
sides are cut, making the receptacle
more faring than would be possible
with only four sides These. too, are
carried nat, the sewing utensils being
taken in a small silk bag or a box
and put into the more convenient has
ket when they are needed. Il Is tho
work Of only few minutes to tie

The Fair is Booming.

As we go to press the county fair ID
being held. 1t is the general opinion
that this is rather the best fair the asso.
citation has ever had. The buildings are
more commodious and complete than ev.
er before. Many new improvements
have been made on the grounds. All
these things not only indicate an inter-
est in the fairs. but serves to create
more interest.
The exhibits this year are very good.
The hog barn is full and runni ing over.
The exhibits of sheep and of draft horses
are taxing the capacity of the large
buildings. The cattle show, never large,
is good. The art hall is rather above
the usual.
The officers OF the association deserve
credit for the hard work they have put
in to make the fair success. 1t is now
gratifying to see the people appreciate
the fair. and patronize it. The attend.
ance was good yesterday and is expected
to be big today.
There is a little the best field OF race
horses this year than there has been for
some time. The races yesterday were
good, especially did tho county three
year old pace create much interest. The

leaving four entries. Six heats were re-
quired to decide it. Varebel was driven
by DR.. Denton. of Council Bluffs, Rich
ard P by the owner, Bessie O'Brien by
Ed Ruff and Alice G by E. M. Preston.
In the first heat Richard p was distanced

O'Brien LIST, Alice G End and Varebel
Bird. Sixth heat, Alice G 1st, Bessie
O'Brien End and Varebel Bird. This gave
the first place goes to Alice G, End to
Bessie O'Brien and third to Varebel.
As they we're all home horses IL made
lots Of interest. The result was quite
credit to Preston Bros as trainers as
well as Mr.. Gill.
The races today and tomorrow are ex-
pected to be almost equally as good.
