ABOUT LAMPS.

The common kerosene lamp which
is used in almost every household will
give a bright even light and be Il
source of comfort to the family ii
properly cared for.
The bowl of the lamp should be Kept
full Of oil, but when not III use, the
wick should be turned low to keep tie
oil from oozing out upon the burner.
If the wick is soaked in vinegar, then
dried before it is put in the lamp it is
not likely to smoke. The wick should
be trimmed evenly with pair of
sharp scissors that the fame may al
ways be even.
Use none but the best burners. In
ferior burners are cheaper at first but
soon get out of order. This prevents
the wicks from turning up or down
and the lamps do not give good
light.
Wash the burners frequently and
scour the discolored parts. A clean
lamp gives no disagreeable odor while
burning.
Lamp chimneys are not as liable to
break upon exposure to changes OF
temperature if they are put in Il pan
OF cold water and allowed to heat
gradually till the water is boiling and
left in the water till cold again.
When you wish to clean the chin
neys wash them in suds, rinse in clear
water and wipe dry on towel that
is soft and free from lint; polish with
an old newspaper. Brown spots may
be removed by rubbing them with
coarse salt.
If you have china or colored glass
lamp shades they should be polished
every day. See that the chimneys fit
closely that there be no danger of their
falling off when the lamp is removed.

THE STRAWBERRIES.

NIulching the beds will very likely
month. Most OF the material for this
we already have on hand, having been
saved from the odds and ends of near
ly everything, as lawn mowings. grass
clippings, green weeds and rubbish
gathered from every quarter. 1t pays
in many ways to mulch the beds; il
left uncovered, a few wnrm days in
spring may give them start, only to
be pinched by a sudden cold spell. SO
it is far safer to cover them and not
be in too much haste to take the cover
ing off until reasonable danger is past.
1t is better to hold them back a little
than to get set back by some freak of
Jack Frost.
While out Of season now for plant
ing, very likely many of our readers
will be casting about on the lookout
for plants for spring setting. In this
connection it is we'll to know that
strawberries are of two kinds, stamina
ate and fistillate. Some of the very
finest sorts Of themselves are fistillate
or imperfect in flower, and when plant
ed alone will produce but few berries,
and. those of poor quality.
That our readers may better under
stand the difference, we give the STAN
mate or perfect flower and the fstillate
Or imperfect flower. BY these any one
may readily tell the perfect from the
imperfect by the stamens extending

PEACH CULTURE.

The same pruning and culture de-
sired for apples or pears would not be
suitable for peach trees. The peach
orchard should be planted by itself.
Peach trees should not be mingled
with apple trees or other fruit trees.
Do not plant the trees too closely to-
gethe", unless you expect to cut out
every other tree when they get larger.
Select an elevated site for the orchard;
the hilltops are far better than level
ground or the level; the soil may be
sandy. grayelly or friable clay loan.
After planting keep the soil well cult
waited through all the growing season.
Half of each seasons growth should
be removed by pruning each spring.
This rule of pruning does not apply to
any other tree but the peach, which
has n tendency to spread too far. BY
cutting off half the wood you thin out
portion of the fruit buds and this is
desirable, since peaches almost invari-
ably oyerbear.-Green's Fruit Grower.

WASHING DISHES.

A careless dishwasher can soon co
a great deal Of damage. The china
is disfgured by having the glazing
cracked and chips broken from the
edges Ivory and rubber haudled
knives and forks are ruined by being
washed in water that is greasy or too
hot; glasses are broken by pouring
water over them; such things are done
every day. yet they are entirely ul-
necessary.
A good dishwasher needs a bright
tin or porcelain dishpan and drainer,
supply of water, and tea towels that
leave no lint. DO not dump the dishes
into tie pan promiscuousy, thereby
running the risk of breaking half OF
them. When the food is removed
from the table scrape the plates and
drain out any coffee or tea that is left
in the cups. Pile the plates together,
then the saucers, cups and small
dishes. Have the pan half full of wa
ter that is as hot as you can bear your
hands in, put i'll enough wash
ing powder to make good suds,
and wash the glasses first, then the
silverware, and after that the china.
Put them ia the drainer, pour warm
water over them to rinse them, and
dry with a clean dish towel. Care is
required at every step of the process.
A dish mop may be used if one does
not wish to keep the hands in the hot
water so long. Pudding dishes or
other cooking utensils should soak
awhile before washing. The wire dish
cloth is excellent for cleaning iron
kettles. but should not be used on tin
ware.-E. J. c., in Detroit Free p"ess.

Corn, to make well, must grow right
off from the start, and keep growing;
and good cultivation, especially when
very young, will do more to help it
along than anything else after it is
up We make it Il point to keep the
crust broken with harrow, weeder or
cultivator, and continue the cultiNa-
ton until corn is i'll roasting ear We
made fifty eight bushels of corn per
acre on upland the past year, and we
worked it at least six times. The

must have moisture when it is max

moisture by little extra late tillage
to break the crust, after a rain. it
pays well to 90 it. Very shallow cuti-
walton at this time will never hurt
corn, as it does not go deep enough
to injure the roots. Our corn never
had fired blade on it until the corn
was made and the fodder began

If carefully preserved, the illustra

the most popular for market variety

ought not to be omitted, either for.

The Glen Mary in season is medium

1t is very large in size and holds well
up to the latest pickings.
Among the early sorts the Marshall
has no equal; very large, high colored

best results. 1t sells at sight, is an
immense cropper, ard should find Il
place in every garden.
The Warfield is one OF the best late
OF perhaps medium berries, and is
coming rapidly into favor with market
men. It's size and color make it eager
ly sought after. and as a cropper and
ready seller it has no superior. 1t is
imperfect however, and must be
planted with some Of the staminate
sorts.

Feeding the Young Pigs.

Skim milk fed in connection with
shelled corn makes Il complete or well
balanced ration for the growing pigs
and one that cannot be excelled. How
ever, but few farmers can spare but
limited quantity of milk for the pigs,
and it therefore cannot be depended on
as the pigs regular diet. Possibly that
which approaches it nearest in nutri-
tive value rs well as in digestibility
and which is available to the greatest
number of farmers is Il warm slop of
shorts or wheat middlings to which is
added about one half-pint of .Hnseed
oil meal to the gallon of middlings.
Bran is too coarse and bulky for the
VOTING pigs stomachs, but bran that
has not the midalings separated from
it does fairly well, made into stiff
Stop for them. In sections where
shelled oats are available at moder-
ate price, they should be fed 10 the pigs
on tight floor, and are quite valuable
for bone and muscle growth. >.

Planting Cowpeas with Corn.

w. NJ. W., JOneSbOrO, Tenn, writes:
Please tell me whether sorghum grown
on the same land two years in success
sion would be advisable. Is it best to
SOW it by itself or mix peas with it?
| want to sow cowpeas i'll corn after
cultivating 4 few times; what is the
best way? If l plant vary why pea,
rs the Clay or Black, where the corn is
planted, would they injure the corn,
or should l wait until the corn gets
Il start? Are beans very exhausting to
the plant food that is i'll the ground?
1t is not advisable to grow sorghum
on the same land for two years i'll sue
cession. This is not because sorghum
is so much harder on the land than
many other crops, but a rotation rests
the land, and any strong, vigorous
growing crop yielding as freely rs sor-
ghum does, draws heavily on the fer
tility of the land. 1t is, therefore, adj
yisable to change The cropping as much
as possible.
1t is all right to grow sorghum and
cowpeas together The only difficulty
we have ever experienced has been to
get large enough per cent. of peas.
By careful examination we have found
sorghum and peas sown for silage not
to contain on an average more than
seven or eight per cent. of peas,
though in some instances it has gone
as high as fifteen per cent. Cowpcas
may be sown with an ordinary one
horse drill between the corn rows at
the last cultivation. They may be sown
down the middle of the row or planted
close to the corn stalks. When plant
ing is delayed so long, it is better to
plant them in the middle of the row.
There is no reason why peas should Lot
be sown at the same time of the corn,
provided danger of frost is past we
sow our corn and peas together
where we desire to use the crop :or
silage or for fodder The very why
varieties of peas help to increase the
fertility of the soil. but as rule they
do not climb as well as the Whip.
poor-will or Lady, and if you desire to
gather the pea crop with the idea of
enriching the food, it is necessary to
get them to climb on stalk. If you
cannot gather them, the part left on
the ground can be grazed off or turned
under for the enrichment of the land
for, the following crop. Peas planted
with corn and sorghum do not injure
the crop to any appreciate extent.
They are legumes, as you know, and
can thus assimilate atmospheric nj
trogen and so help enrich the soil in
that element. 1ney draw rather hcav-
lily on the phosphates and pc ash of the
soil and so it is well to supply these
elements to the soil before planting
