Best Fertilizer For Gardens.

We always save all the poultry
manure which we scatter over the
surface as evenly as possible and it
is we'll raked in before planting the
seed. We also save the ashes from
our wood fires, and give the surface
a generous sprinkling which is also
mixed with the soil. This applica-
tion of potash makes our onions firm
and fine favored and makes our
peas and beans bear an enormous
quantity, and benefits other vege-
tables also. Did we not have the
ashes we should use the commercial
fertilizer rich in potash for our on
ions, peas, beans and tomatoes. at
least, besides sweet and Irish pota-
toes.
Our spinach, lettuce, mustard, cab
bage and peppers did the best when
good application Of poultry ma
nure was given. One year we grew
nearly six dollars worth of mango
peppers on trifle over a square rod
of land. These peppers were mar
vel to all who saw them and would
have continued bearing longer but
frost cut them short. \

Can OF Tomatoes.

AS the season for fresh tomatoes
leaves US, the appetite for the fruit
is seldom satisfied, and many house
keepers turn gladly to the canned
varieties.
In opening the can, pour of the
liquid and make a scalp" with the
solid slices, adding to them boiled
macaroni, and buttered bread
crumbs; use broth or beef tea for
moistening the mixture and brown
It nicely in hot oven.
Or, dip the solid slices in we'll
beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and
fry them in butter. Serve very hot.
Of the liquid part and the broken
slices Of tomato, make sauce,
adding salt, an even teaspoonful OF
sugar and a dash Of pepper, and set
away to cool. The next day heat
this sauce, dip slices of stale bread
in it, and out again very quickly
and then in beaten egg; fry brown
on both sides and serve very hot:
This as an emergency lunch, with
hot rolls and a cup Of tea or coffee,
makes a very satisfying repast for
one who is to have dinner at night.
Indeed, as a member of the Light
Housekeeping Fraternity, I often
make it the piece de resistance of
my dinner for one.

The Children Are Gone.

Woe to him that smiles not over
a cradle or weeps over tomb. We
always sympathize with childless
couple and little child who has
neither brother or sister. A mar
ried couple who has never tried
the companionship of a little child,
has carelessly passed by one of the
greatest pleasures of life, as one
passes q rare flower without pluck.
Ding it or knowing its value. The
same may be said Of the little child
who has neither brother or sister
to Be companionab1e with.
To those whose homes are doubly
blessed with the presence of the
little prattle we would say have
patience and enjoy them while you
may. They will not trouble yol
long. Children grow up-nothing
on earth grows as fast as children.
It was but yesterday, and that lad
was playing with tops, a buoyant
boy. He is a man and gone now
There is no more childhood for him
nor for US. Life has claimed him.
When a beginning is made it is like
raveling stocking, stitch by stitch
gives away until all are gone.
The little children grow up and
go out from the home one by one
until they are all gone. The house
no longer has child in it. Once
there was more noise in the hall
when the boys would rush in pell-
NELL, but it is very orderly now.
There are no more bats balls or kites
left scattered around and things
are neat now. There IS no delay
now for sleepy folks; there is no
longer any task before you lie down,
or looking after anybody and tuck
ing in the bed clothes. The chill
dren are all gone.
We get so. lonesome and heart
sore \as we remember the peculiar
titles of the different little ones that
once shared our home. But they
are gone, and we long for some chill
uren's noise. We wish that our
neighbor would lend us a little one
or two to make a little children's g
noise in our quiet, child deserted
homes. We realize that home
without children is like garden
without flowers When they are
gone we yearn for them back. We
long to be tried again, to be vexed,
to, be run over, to hear children at
play with all their noise and fuss.
Let us watch over and tenderly
guard the little ones that are COM
.mitted to our care, for in a little
while they will take their places in
the great army of men and women
and will be our little ones no more
for ever. God bless every little
child.

Hints on Ironing.

1t is safe for beginners to test thE
heat by passing iron over a damp
cloth; with practice one soon learns
by holding iron up to the face. IRON
ing should be done in good light,
and SO that the rays strike the work
Otherwise, you might scorch the
clothes without knowing it. If the
iron is too hot it will scorch tue
linen or cause blisters. If too cole
it. will stick; the linen will not be-
come smooth, the different portions
of starched linen will not stick to-
gether, and the edges will turn yell
low. Irons require care. They
should never be put directly on l..e
Goals. Before use, new irons must
be heated and waxed or CREASED
Use salt or fine sand on a piece OF
paper to clean irons. After ironing
don't let them stand on the stove
to cool, or they will become rough,
scrape it with knife, wax and pass
over piece of old linen until clean.S

Judge With Hard Sense.

There is a judge at Memphis,
Tenn, with plenty of good, hard
common sense, and if the example
he set was followed by all the judges
fewer criminals would escape de-
served punishment. The judge we
allude to decided recently that an
error in grammar does not make a
bill Of indictment Eo3khless. The
indictments were against ". D. ParS
and Jim Jones. Parr was charged
in the bill with driving pair of
mules to scoop with sore shoul-
ders," while Jones Is said to ohave
worked a mule to plow with 4
sore leg" Counsel for the defend
ants asked that the indictments be
quashed as insufficiently setting
forth the offenses with which his
clients were charged. He asked the
court to say which it was that hal
the sore shoulders, the scoop or the
mules, and which the injured limb
the plow or the mule. The court
overruled the motion formally, and
the trial proceeded. Many a Grim.
inal has escaped deserved punish.
ment by his lawyers resorting to a
technicality, which was sanctioned
by the judge. This is entirely
wrong, and If the example Of the
Memphis judge is followed by all
other judges we would have fewer
criminals who go uawhipt Of justice

Helping the Railroads.

A ruling OF vast importance to the
railroads carrying United States
mails has been made by the second
assistant postmaster general. Hero
tofore it has been the practice of the
postoffice department to make quar-
terly payments for such service, but
the railroads coutended that as a
matter Of right and justice settle
ments should be made monthly.
For some time past the Rock Island
system has negotiated with the de-
partment to this end with the result
that notification was sent out that,
beginning January 1, next. monthly
payments would be made. The ag-
gregate amount involved each year
is over s4S.O0O,O00 and the new rul-
ing will have the effect of putting
in circulation a considerable sum
each month. 1t is a wonder that
this arrangement has not been made
before. .

Protecting Insect Destroyers.

In France, painted notices are
posted on every farm and along the
public highways, bearing the follow
ing: This board is placed under
the protection of the common sense
and honesty Of the public. Hedge
hogs live upon mice, snails and wire
worms-animals injurious to agri-
culture. Don't kill hedgehog.
Toads help agriculture; each one
destroys 20 to 80 insects hourly.
Don't kill toads. Moles destroy wir ,
worms, larvae and insects injurious
to farmers. No trace of vegetables
is ever found in his stomach; does
more good than harm. Don't kill
moles. Each department of France
loses, yearly millions of francs by
the injury done by insects. Birds
are the only enemies capable of bat
tling with them vigorously, they are
a great help to the farmer. Chill
dren, don't take the birds nest"
