PW- / * I jm •'4k, u AOK1CULTUBS. A club of 14-year-oid boys in W«bt- ter Oafish, La., naa been organized to compete mth one anotuer jn the culti vation of one acre of com each. The lad who produces the largest crop of com on his acre is to receive five bush- of com from each of the other members of the club. Each selects his own acre and manures and cultivates it to suit himself. Suppose there ere twenty members in the oinb; the inoky one will receive ninrty-five busbela of com, which will be a handsome premium. Every member will be benefitted by an in creased yield and tiie practical experi ence of all secured by the contest, Why not get up such dubs elsewhere,and let the lathers know what their sons can do I Come, boys. A qbeat many farmers comfort them- DOMESTTO. salves with the notion that if they change sted with some other farmer they are doing a big thing. This is a mistaken idea. Seed should bo improved and taken from the farm where it is grown, and to which it has adapted itself. At home is the place for improvement. The idea that the little germ oi a seed can carry the good qualities of a good farm with it is ridiculous; but it can carry with it peculiarities in its nature (growth and maturity) acquired in one place,which will be unsuited to another. We therefore advise farmers to improve the seed in their own land by careful se lection of the best ears for planting. Tun commonly received advice to or- ebardists to scrape tbs rough bark from old apple trees has been contradicted, some having tried it and concluded that the practice did more harm than good. The rough bark is a protection to the tree irom sudden changes of tempera ture. The benefit often claimed from scraping trees comes from the greater attention paid to them in other respects by men who take this trouble. White washing apple trees is equally ineffect ual for good. Philosophy op Bread M xino—That cookery is being placed on the basis of the higher education of women, end is being considered one of the fine arts, is something to be realized by every young woman who intends to assume the duties of a well-kept home and a well-fed household Perhaps there is no more Important branch in the prt ■ cess of culinary development than that of bread making, or any that requires more practice and care. The Americans have more kinds of bread than any other nation, yet they do not always have better, and generally not as good as is often found in other countries. There are many ways of making bread, by mixing with yeast, by using leaven, by salt-rising or milk yeast, and by mixing the flour with water charged with carbolic add, called erated bread. Yeast bread is by far the most healthful and economical of all modes of maaing it Leaven, which one associates more with cookery described in Biblical literature, is a paste, made of flour and water and allowed to soar. Sometimes housekeepers and bakers keep a piece of the risen dough for the next bread mixing, and this is leaven. To obtain good results in bread making we must begin with yeast if we would have that kind of bread. The following reliable recipe may be useful to some: The conveyanee of pollen from one flower to another in cross-iertilization is effected naturally by the wind or by the agency of insects and other creatures. Flowers that require the aid of insects usually offer some attraction to their visitors in the shape of bright color.fra- grance or sweet juices. The color and markings of a flower often serve to guide the insects to the honey,in the obtaining of which they are compelled either to remove or deposit pollen. Fresh, clean hog’s lard rubbed three or four times on any kind of waits on horses or cattle will remove them on three or four applications. I have re moved the warts time after time, and have never been able to find the wart for the fourth application. If I should send the Latin name for lard and tell men to pay fifty cents to the druggists for about two cents worth of good iard this remedy would be oftener used. The old-fasbioued idea that exposing stock to the cold iu winter hardened them had at least this basis of truth: It took oil' the soft spots and left only the bones and skin. Besides, it destroyed the less hardy animals, and though oiten stunting the growth of those that lived, they had generally a capacity for endnring cold. The small shaggy Shet land ponies are examples of what this method will do for horses; but this is a direction in which low horsemen will wish to breed. Rescued from Agonizing Death. JNew Yoke —Mr. James White. 1652 Broadway, formerly chief instructor tu Dickels’ hiding School, in this city, said to a newspaper reporter “1 broke my shoulder, arm and elbow, splitting the socket m four parts.

I have also recommended the reme dy to a number ot people, and in every case they nave been speedily and effectual ly cured." HUMOROUS. It was in the Uarolina backwoods, a country couple and a country parson. Though a Baptist, the minister wore an old surplioe. When he had finished the oeremony, he said: “An* them ’uns whom God hath joined—” “Stop thar, parson,” said the groom; “don’t say them ’uns, say these ’uns I” “John,” said the parson, “I teoh you at school and I say them ’una.” “These ’nns,” shouted the groom, drawing his pistol. The parson, seeing the movement, fired through his surplioe, and the groom dropped dead—winging the par son as he went down. There was a lively*fusilade of perhaps thirty shots. When the smoke cleared away a half dozen men were on the floor. The bride, peeping over the pulpit, to which she had fled for refuge, gazed mourn fully on the scene and said: ‘•Them a-self-oookin’ pistols is a play in’ with my prospecks 1” Before repapenng a wall it is best to remove the old paper. This is a troublesome operation. Moisten a por tion of the wall at a time to soften the paper and paste and then scrape it off. When it is desired to paper over a whitewashed surface, first scrape off the loose lime, fill cracks with plaster of paris and apply with a brush a sizing made by adding eight ounces of dissolv ed glue to a pailful of hot water. Hard- finished walls may be washed with soap and water and wiped dry. Grease spots on wall-paper can sometimes be remov ed by applying a thick paste of boiling hot starch spread thickly on the spot, then allowed to dry and rubbed off with a soft cloth. Other stains may be out out with a sharp knife and a piece of clean paper matched on. *** “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 nor mal curative for all those dire complaints.

How to pHBPAim Yeast.—Take three good sized potatoes, pare them and place them in cold water. Take a small much of boos i nd one quart of buillUK water, and boil in r< porcelain or enam eled sauce-pan, and not in tin. Mix a quarter of a cup of sugar with a quarter of a cup of flour, and two tablespoons of salt Into this mixture grate the pota toes, this keeps them from turning dark, and then pour on the boiling hop water strained and stir steadily. If the potato doei not thicken like a thin pasts, put it all in a double boiler and cook a trifle till it does thicken, train the whole, and when lukewarm add one cup of old, yet good, yeast Let it rise until it is foamy and bottle with care. ■■Made New Again.” Mrs. Wm.

He has offered a reward of 85 to the boy who will solve the problem.

Rubber Caps.—One objection to the ingrain carpet is that the high heels which servants delight in wearing on thick shoes seem to catch at the threads and drag them out of place, producing a rough surface: another is that the legs of heavy chairs have the same effect.
