AGRICULTUK*. Sokapino Tries —Do we approve of scraping Trees? asks a fnend of oars Certainly we do, provided they need it, and one can rarely find an old tree that does not. Aside from the fact that that the removal of the old bark-scales breaks a retuge for various insects, including the Woolly-aphis, the increased beauty of the tree repays the trouble. There are scrap ers made for the purpose; one of these has a triangular blade, another a long olade, with one flat and another slightly concave edge. An old hoe is quite as good a tool as any; cut off the handle to about 18 inches, and do not grind the blade too sharp, as a cutting implement is not need ed—only a scraper. On a very old trunk some force may be needed to detach the scales that are partly loose, but on young trees be careful not to wound the healthy ban. When there comes a moist, drizzly spell, go over the scraped bark with good soft soap, made thin enough with water to apply .with a brush, Faint over a thick coat of this soap aud leave the rest to the rains. Liter in the season the trees will appear as if furnished with mahogany trunks. Road horses should have their front feet stuffed with flax-seed meal twice a week. When light shoes are needed, partic ularly hind ones have them made ot cast- steel. Don't hook your horse to the sleigh the same as to your wagon, but give him more trace. Horses wearing boots should have them loosened while under the shed at the road house. If your horse should pull on one line er throw his head up and down and tight and pull on the bit have his mouth and teetn examined. The band pieces of driving reins fre quently become smooth from use, causing the hand to shift. In such cases rub the lines wilh powdered rosin. If you wish to drive your horses with an open bridle have him tried with one before putting him to your top wagon, otherwise he might get away with you. When horses overreach lengthen the hind shoes; when they hit the Iront of the hind feet have the toe ot the front shoes made narrow and concaved on the inside. Controlling thk Horse.—The reins may guide the horse, the bit may inspire him by ns careful manipulation, and the whip may urge him forward to greater ambition; but the human voice is more po tent than all there agencies. Its assuring tones will more quickly dispel his fright; its severe reproaches will more effectually check his insubordination; its sharp, clear electric commands will more thoroughly arouse his ambition, uu 1 its gentle, kindly praises will more completely encourage the intelligent road horse than Uie united forces of the bit and reins and the lash. !No animal in domestic use more readily responds to the power of kindness than the road horse. .Experiments mode at the farm of the Jiural Aew Yorker, to. show the effects of shade on growing potatods, give the in teresting results that the afternoon sun is of moie importance to the yield ot potatoes than the mornihg sun. The first experi mental piot shaded after 12 M., receiving only th« morning sun, produced nearly 400 bushels per acre. 1 he second, which was shaded untjl 2 P. M., receiving the sun afterward, produced 620 bushels per acre. It was alto observed that tie afternoon SUn nrodtlceo mom nntat/wa of a. smaller size than me morning sun. The record as a milker of the wonderful cow owned by A. D. Hull, of Charlestown N. H., is attracting considerable attention in that section fiom cattle breeders aud dairymen. She is 4 years old, from a grade Jersey and Ayrshire cow imported by Sherman Pans. Her weight is 960 pounds, which in a spac'i of nineteen days, has been exceeded by that of her milk, which weighed 963 pounds 13 ounces. The first milking weighed 40 pounds 10 ounces the last 63 pounds 4 ounces, and averaged upward of 60 pounds per day for eleven d tys of the lime weighed. Dk. Johnson, of Indiana, says : “in dairy products we, in the West, with our method of using five acres of high-priced land to keep one dairy animal a year, can not compete with the intensified farming of the East, where they keep one animal a year on one acre of land, and that, too of a natural fertility much inferior to ours, and, more than that, where by means ot silos and ensilage now they are keeping two animals to a single acre. A single "thoroughbred male introduced in a farming section for purpose of im provement adds more wealth than any other investment that can be made.Though worth but very little in the shape of so many pounds of animal matter, the value of the progeny may reach away up in the thousands. Farmers should learn this fact and take it into consideration. In South Africa the raising of cattle has almost entirely ceased, owing to the fact that several years ago a Holland bull was carried there stfiicted with the lung dis ease, which, before it could be stopped, spread beyond control. Ibis shonld prove a warning to American farmers. Congress should make a law forbidding the removal of cattle fiom any infected territory until they shall have undergone a period of qua rantine. When the ground becomes frozen, or no other work offers, prspaaationscan always be made for advancing prospective work until it arrives. Bean poles may be made sud if the ends are ebarred, an 1 then dip ped in coal tar, the commonest material "ill be rendered nearly equal to the best O.'dar, A cheap drinking fountain for i>oultry may be made by using discarded tin fruit •‘ana. Cut a hole about half au inch in diameter on the edge of the rim near the opening, made to extract the former con tents, and then fill tbe can with water and invert over a saucer. The pressure of the atmosphere will prevent the water from flowing out faster than it Is used. To protect tea roses they may be potted and placed away in a light, warm cel ar. Hardy varieties should be covered with coarse litter from the stable; but this should not be done until the ground be gins to freez^ and the protection should not be removed until the ground is com pletely thawed. Th* Yergennes grape is a novelty be cause of its long-keeping qualities. With ordinary care, in a coo) room or dry cellar, the fruit will be as fresh m January as in Beptember. It is also a remarkable grow er, extremely hardy, a good bearer, hand some bunch and berry, and of really good Quality. On pound of fresh eggs is worth al most as much for food as two pounds of beef. An egg contains every necessity for the development of the perfect animal; ard yet eggs properly cooked are rarely found on tbs farmer's table. jA '■ V' ■ ' '',‘ n • 'Vr■ ' V' DOMESTIC. Dust will accumulate in closets, will sift in through and under the doors, after one has done all she knows how to prevent it. If a woman oan afford to have a regular ohest of drawers of the exact length of her d-ees skirts she should be counted as one of the happy; if not, she oan shield her blaok silk «nd velvet dresses in this way: Take two breadths of wide cambric, sew theft to gether, hem all around both enda, and run in strings to draw them together, or pieces of elastic cord. In this slip the dress skirt. Have two loops on the band of the skirt, and let them come through the top of the bag to hang it by. The object in having both ends open is so that the dress may be slipped ont at either end, and also may be ar ranged sc that it will not wrinkle. There should be a loop on the bag also, by which it may be left hanging in the closet after the skirt is taken out. Beef or Veal a la Mode, Louisiana Style.—Cut ten or twelve pounds of beef or veal into small pieces; mince two large onions and put them into a stewpan, with four ounces of beef drip pings. When quite hot flour the meat, drop it into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon continually; in ten min utes dredge with flour uutil it begins to thicken, then pour in by degrees, stirring all the time, one gallon of hot water. When it boil^gkim, and add one dram of blaok pepper, twb ditto of allspice, two bay leaves, oover; set it beside the fire; let it stew slowly three hours; pour into a bowl or tureen and serve hot or oold, as may or may not be preferred. Oyster Loaves. Use some fresh rolls, and out a thin, nice oval hole in the top of each, saving the pieces cut out, scoop out all the crumbs, leaving the crust whole. Put the oysters m a stewpan with one quarter of their liq uor, add some bread crumbs, a large piece of butter, a little pepper, nutmeg and mace, if desired. Stew a few min utes, add three large tablespoon!ill of oream, allow all to boil. Fill the in side of the rolls with the oysters, reserv ing as many oysters as you have rolls. Oover with the pieces out out and place an oyster on each roll. These ornamen tal oysters must be very dry. Hints on Knitting Stockings. — When knitting children’s stockings of the Oerman knitting yarn, or of other heavy qualities of yarn, do not use too large needles. Of course, you get along much faster, and the stockings will thicken somewhat when washed for the first time, but they will not be nearly so serviceable as if knit with smaller needles, only a trifle larger than those which you use in knitting the cashmere yarns. To Clean Paint.—Tea leaves may be saved fiom the table for a few days, and when sufficient are collected steep, not boil, them for half an hour in a tin pan. Strain tbe water off through a sieve, and use this tea to wash all varnished paint. It removes spots and gives a newer, fresher appearance than when soap and water &.e used. For white paint, taxe up a small quantity of whiting on a damp piece of old white flannel, and rub over the surface lightly, and it will leave the paint remarkably bright and new. ing or holland; scalloped around the edge, and stitched with coarse silk, or bound with vibbou. A centre piece cut out of bright-colored satin may be stitched on the centre, and stars or darts may be put in the corners. Crim son or dark blue satin or velvet makes pretty trimmings. Fancy table covers may be made in the same way using magenta, seal brown, sky blue, or white cashmere for the oover, and colored silk or velvet for the trimmings. Canned Mushrooms.—Mushrooms may be served with good effect with game, and even with beefsteak, if pre pared in this way; Open the cai. and pour oil every drop of the liquid found there; let the mushrooms drain, then put them in a saucepan, with a little cream, and butter, pepper and salt; let them simmer gently for from five to ten minutes, aud when the meat is on the platter pour the mushrooms ever it. If served with steak, that should be very tender, and be broiled, never in any case fried. Eggs eob Invalids.—A dainty way to prepare au egg for an invalid is to first beat it until very light; then season it with a little pepper, salt and a tiny lump of butter; then pour it over a shoe of dry buttered toast and set the plate contain ing it in the steamer; oover it closely aud let it steam for two or three minutes. An egg prepared thus will not be likely to distress the weakest stomach. The Queen of Sauces.—The queen of all pudding sauces calls for two cups of white sugar, a lump of butter the size of an egg, one well-beatou egg. Stir these together, then add a teacup ful of boiling water, put it in a saucepan until it thickens; do not let it boil; fla vor with lemon or vanilla. To Mind Plaster of Casts.—Take 20 parts of river sand, 2 parts of lith arge and 1 of quicklime, well ground wilh linseed oil Into a paste. This con crete becomes as hard as stone when set, and is very applicable for mending broken stones and the like. Hashed Heart.—Save any gravy that may be left, and out the remains of the heart in thin tlioes; heat the gravy, and warm the slices of heart in it; a lit tle catsup or Worcester sauoe added will make the hash very nice; pat sip pets of toast out into diamond shape round the edge of the dish. Brussels Sprouts.—Well trim and wash three pounds of Brusisela sprouts, throw them into plenty of boiling water) with two ounces of salt and a pinch of carbonate of soda added; let boil quick ly twelve minutes, or longer if required; drain them in a colander when done; serve very hot. A teaspoonful of charcoal in half a glass of warm water erf ten relieves a gftk headache, it absorbs the gases and relieves the distended stomach, presses against the nerves that extend from the stomach to the head. When one has a bad cold, and the nose is closed up so that he cannot breathe through it, relief may be found instantly by putting a little camphor and water in the centre of the hand, and snuffing it up the nose. It is a great relief. To keep warm when riding in the oold, put a common kerosene lantern under tbe lap robe, and if tbe robe is well tucked around, the feet and limbs will be as warm as when sitting by a stove. HUMOROUS. Two or three years ago a Jersey Oity pension lawyer took the case of a widow who wanted about $2000 back pay, and the papore went to Washington to be hidden among the cobweb*- until some clerk had nothing else to do but exam ine them. After three months had passed a young farmer called to ask about the ease, and regularly every nine ty days since that time he has dropped in with his: “Well, an^ good news for the Widder Jennings r’ At his last vis' it the other day tbe lawyer replied after the saint' istareotyped fashion aud added: “Do you live near the widow?” “Only one farm between us.” “And she has told yon to watch for the money?” “Well, not exactly that, but I’ve kinder taken it upon myself to do so, If the Widder Jennings gets that $2000 before the 1st of April, my heart is going to yearn to marry her. If she don’t git it I’m going to marry an old maid with twenty-one acres of land and a yoke of oxen, I wouldn’t have oome in to-day, but the widder she’s a winking and the old maid is looking party as a bed of onions, and things is beginning to squeeze on me.” A hotel clerk named Briscoe, Stumped his foot out in ’Frisco, It hurt him like thunder, But the pain was got under. By St. Jacob's Oil rubbed on his too. A conductor who lives ai. Belair, Got hurt, being thrown on a chair, They took him away, But in lees than a day, St. Jacobs Oil made him all square. Miss Bayard is not only veiy pretty but extremely bright. She was the young lady who so astonished Oscar Wilde by her keen repartee to his patronizing remark. “Are you going to the German, Mr. Wilde ?” Sue asked the night of his lecture hero. “Yes,” drawled the aesthetic, “if my lecture don’t fatigue me too much. Are you going Miss Bayard?” “Yes! if your lecture don’t fatigue me too much.” And again, when he complained to her of the lack of pins and curiosities in this country, she replied: “Ob, Mr. Wilde, we import our curiosities,” %* “Necessity is the mother of inven tion: ” Diseases of the liver, kidneys and bowels brought forth that sovereign reme dy Kidney- Wort, which is nature’s normal curative for all those dire complaints. In either liquid or dry form it is a perfect remedy for those terrible diseases that cause so many deaths.

A question of precedence: “Lew” Barker, the wittiest man in Maine, was in Plaisted’s council—it wasn’t exactly Plaisted’s council, either, but au old one that was attached to the shop when he moved in—and he worried the Gov ernor pretty much all the time daring those two years. Finally tbe end was oome and the outgoing and incoming executive boards were gathered in the council chamber preparatory to enter ing the Representatives’ hall for the in auguration ceremonies. Governor Plan ted was troubled about the order of procedure. “Who goes ahead, we or you?” he said to the new administra tion. Quick as a flash, Parker antici- corpse always goes ahead.” Proof Everywhere.

MB. bEBGEANT ilALLANTYNE tells the story of a foreign prince who complain ed to his steward that his horses looked thin. “The oorndeaier will supply no more oats till he is paid,” said the stew ard. “Who will trust us?” asked the piince. After deep aud long considera tion the steward said that he thought they still had credit with the pastry cook. “Feed the horses upon tarts! ’ said the prince.
