agriculture. Houno and the frequent stirring of the suriaoe of the soil are good substi tutes for rain. Those parts of the gar den that are most frequently cultivated show the best results. It is probable that corn, watermelons, tomatoes. Lira a beans, and cabbage, and possibly other planttt, il well started in good deep soil may go through a two-months drought without very serious damage. A deep, well-manured soil suffers much less than a shallow soil. Snbsoihng and manure are, to a certain extent, substitutes for rain. Moisture comes from below, Underdraming is also a safeguard against drought. The court e of tne drains in ihe garden can easily be marked in a dry season by the ranker growth of vegetation above them. Irrigation in many parts of the North will pay. The soil, U well prepared, could use to good advantage twice the quantity of water it receives from rains during the dry months oi summer. 1 wish to say to the correspondent who asks about liquid manure for his lawn that he has just what he wants for a small lawn in mine. The effect is speedy and never-failing. lu a week or ten days alter the application the grass will begin to t arken and increase its growth and thicken on the ground, the growth continuing five to six weeks where a moderate quantity—say at the rate of a gallon to seventy sqm re feet— is given. If a heavier application is made the growth will be increased and its dm ation extended. Where there is a fair coat of glass the light application will suffice, I apply the urine (with a watering pot) in a diluted foim, one gallon of urine to two gadons of water, tollowed by an equal or greater quanti ty of water to wasu it into the soil. Hy giving a tail sprinkling, rich verdure cau be maiuiained till winter, witli an early good start in the spring. There is no more «. ffactive manure than urine, whether used fiesh or alter fermenta tion. • A correspondent says: Fresh,clean hog’s lard rubbed three or lour times on any kind ol warts on horses or cattle will remove them on three or tour ap plications. I have removed the warts time after time, and have never been able to had the wait for the fourth ap plication. li I should send the Latin name for lard and tell men to pay fifty cents to the druggist for about iwo cents wort i of good lard the remedy would be often used. The first and important consideration in selecting a spot for the gsrden is the situation. The most suitable is a very gentle inclination toward the east or southeast, that it may have all the ad vantages oi the morning sun. The next preleiaole exposure is south or south- weit. If sheltered from the north or northwest so much the better. Always avoid, it possible, the neighborhood ol large spreading trees, as their roots will exhaust the soil and their shade injures the crops. The best land for corn is sod ground that has been turned up in the early fall. Either harrow or work it up witu a cultivator several times iu the spring before planting, and the birds will each time destroy multitudes of larvae Harrow in the manure or woik it in with the cultivator, if a fer tilizer Is used sow it bountifully broad cast. Be sure the ground is clean and well tilled before the seed is put in. Keep the surlace thorougldy stirred once a we k from the time it can be worked until the tassels appear. Har row just as it makes its appearance through the soil with a tine short tooth iioirow that breaks the ground in the hill or drill. All kinds of fowls are natives of warm or semi-tropical climates. How ever long they have been domesticated, they retain their liking for warm weath er, or at least warm quarters in cold weather. In the winter season they will do better iu close houses, even with little ventilation, rather than exposed to cold weather. When a young chick will rest under its mother’s wing in a summer's night at a temperature of 100 or more, there is no danger ol smoth ering an old fowl in winter in a tight house. Many farmers are greatly troubled with a growth of sorrel upon their lands which is an indication ol neglect and exhausted fertility. The feed, however, appeals u t on land in good tilth in sea sons when extreme drought prevails or upon silicious dry ridges. The best way to extermiuate^he pest is to sow bone dust mixed with ashes and plas ter. One barrel of raw bone dust with two of ashes and half a barrel of plaster will seive to drive out the sorrel on a quarter of an acre of ground if applied after deep plowing. Chaecoal is highly recommended as a preventative of disease in sheip, and ip an English pamphlet the following recipe for its use appears: -The charcoal should be given with the food, except in the urgent cases, when it may be mixed with water or thin gruel, and given as a drench. The dose is 1 pint to every 25 head of sheep or lambs. One-quarter pint per head to full grown cattle, horses or pigs; half the quanti ty for young cattle, and two teaspoon- luis to one dessertspoonful for young calves. Fatting horses is well understood by jockeys, and may well be studied by- farmers who have horses to sell. A horse well fed and kepi steady to woik will gain slowly and his flt-sh will he come solid and enduring. This is the best for the buyer, aud has the advan tage for the seller that the hoiae earns his keeping while being put into condi tion. The jockey metnod is to feed oil- meal, exercise little or not at all, and make a glossy coat, which will soon be come rough aud staring when the horse is pat at hard work. DOMESTIC. A successful onion grower attributes his large crops to good cultivation in keeping down weeds. In order to avoid the “hand and knee” tedious work, the crops are cultivated every Monday, whether weeds are present or not . The consequence of such careful attention was that the crop came into market very esrly—two weeks ahead—and the size of the onions was also materially increased. An Ontario fruit grower advises the syringing of plum trees with a solution of Pans green as soon as the trees come into bloom, as a remedy for tiie curcu- lio. He recommends three applications one teaspoonfui of the mineral to a pail of water. The ‘'Why” in Vegetable Cookery. Why should plenty of fast boiling water be used in boiling vegetables, potatoes excepted ? Because the greater the body of boiling water the greater the heat If only a little water be used, the whole affair soon cools, and the vegetables become tough, so much so that no length of time in boiling them will render them otherwise. Broccoli sprouts in April, if properly cooked by bpiling them for eight min utes in boiling water, will be tender as marrow; but if.not properly done, hours will not cook them. Why should onions be always cut in round and very thin rings ? Because the fibre is thus cut across,, and in so cut ting them, whether for frying or for maxing sauce, they are rendered very tender when cooked. With turnips and carrots it is just the same; neither of the three should be split or cut m any o her way. Why should parsley never be boiled with soda—only boiling water and salt ? Because parsley, having no oil in it, would be spoiled with soda and all fla vor would be extracted. All parsley should be picked free from the stem, be put into plenty of boiling water with sale and in summer be boiled only one minute, and in winter two minutes, and be strained and chopped on the bacK of a plate. If only a little water is used in boiling it, the water becomes brown, and the parsley tough and ill flavored. Why should vinegar for pickling with, never be boiled ? Because boiling takes all the strength Irom it. What ever vegetables are to be pickled should first be made soft with boiling water strong with salt and then be well drained and the vinegar poured over. Why should two ounces of salt and a bit of washing soda always be put in the water to boil greens in ? Because the salt crisps the greens and flavors them, and the soda extracts the oil which is greatly injurious to digestion. An Excellent Whitewash.—The prudent housewife who regards the cleanliness and neatness of the home surroundings as one of the essentials to health and happiness, will appreciate the recipe appended. The mixture is used by the U. 8. Light House depart ment, aud is said to bo of very superior quality, being clear and lasting. Take half a bushel of quicklime, slack with boning water, keeping it covered during the process, strain it and add a peck of salt dissolved iu warm water, three pounds of rice boiled to a tbm paste; hall a pound of powdered Spanish whit ing, and a pound of clean glue, dissolved in warm water; mix these well together, and let the mixture stand for several days. Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle or portable furnace, aud when used put it on as hot as possible with eiifier a painter’s or whitewash brush. Lemons are really valuable agents as blood purifiers. At this time of the year young people should be encouraged to eat them with sugar. They are a good deal more palatable thau drugs, anyway, and serve as useful a purpose. Lemon pie is not only wholesome, but exceedingly good, and a pudding but little known here—lemon pudding—will amply reward any housekeeper who decides to try it. (Jnoii fine half a pound of the best suet, aud mix it well with half a pound of flour: add the grated rind ol two lemons, the juice of four and the beaten yolks of six eggs; mix the ingredients well together (with a pinch of salt, of course), moisteu with milk it necessary aud pour into a mould or well-buttered basin; to in a cloth, and having a pot ready with boiling water let the pudding boil steadily for two hours aud a half, keeping the lid of the pot a little open. Serve with sweet or wine sauce, and it will be found excellent. The flavor of coffee may be greatly improved and its delicate aroma in creased by aildiug a little bi-oarbonate of soda to the water with which it is made. This is the reason why the coffee obtained at Vichy, Carlsruhe and other German watering places is of such superior excellence, the water in these localities containing a certain percen tage of soda. In England many persons Habitually use carbonate of soda in making tea, a pinch to a pint of water being the regulated quantity. Bibs Cut Short —The long hone end of a rib joint is usually supposed to he wasteful, because it is usually overdone wnen the broader part of the rib is properly roasted. Yet along these bones, when not dried to leather, is very delicate meat. It is “naturally larded,” that is, the fat is distributed throughout the fibre. For this reasou some cooks cut off the rib when it comes from the butcher shorter still aud cook this flat portion separately, either “corning” or stewing it, when its delioa- oy cau be judged. Linen lunch-cloths one yard square, with a vine and some odd and mirth- pnvokiug design in the corners are the laucy ol the hour. These are very pret ty to cover the small tables used at luneb or small tea parties. Have as much variety in coloriug and iu the design as possible and yet be in har mony. Economical housewives may be re- muided that the last remuant of a ham and the last pieces of cheese can be used if they are grated finely. Grated cheese is useful in many ways, aud is, besides, appetizing on bread and butter. Omelets made with grated ham are very nice aud are also excellent for sandwich es, making a capital luncheon for school-girls. Stewed Faesnips.—The rough outer skm of parsnips and ta'sily should be scraped away and made clean before slicing, aud neither rinsed or allowed to lie in water before putting ever the fire. Slice them lengthways and boil in just enough water to cook them tender, sea son with salt and pepper, with half a cup of sweet cream and a lump of but ter. » As a change from high and low com potes. so fixed and repeated in all din ner sets, large “piucheu’ saucers in shape of leaves, orchids and other flow er forms, &o., are now sold in rich dark colors, chocolate, red and olive greens. The L'nthorpe ware is the name of these pretty new styles for fruits and sweet meats. Cubtainb are draped much higher than they used to be. It is no longer considered essential that they shall meet low down, but it is good form to tie them back so that one may look out of the window, or so that a small table may be placed close to the window.

A Democratic joke: “I’ve been thiuk- ing, father,” said Melancthou Marrow fat after a long pause, during which he appeared to be studying the changing forms of the yule log that glowed by the fireside, “I've been thinking a good deal.” “What was th« subject of your thoughts?” asked the old gentleman, pleasantly. “Ive been thinking of the words of the hymn, ‘When shepherds watched their flocks by night,’and won dering why they didn’t go to bed and leave the flocks to take care of them selves.” “Well, did you arrive at any satisfactory conclusion?” “Why, yea; I thought the Republican party must have been in power in those days and the shepherds watched their flocks for fear some office-holder would steal them.” %*“Winter finds out wtiat Summer lays by.” Kidney-Wort cures In Winter and in Summer.

Most of the parishioners uinst have something to growl abont, and it’s a great deal better that they should be occupied with some trivial matter like this thau with something that it might seriously annoy the clergy to have agi tated. is From the Electrical Review It ap pears that the ball of the general As sembly of the Church of Scotland—a fine edifice near Edinburgh Castle— had been provided with a new electric conductor. Some doubt having been expressed whether the new was as effi cient as the old. it ws r resolved to sub ject the former to a strict test, and ac cordingly a copper wire was carried up one side of the spire and attached to a conductor on the other. When the con nections were made it was found that the electrical resistance^ stated.reach- ed the “very, very aiarming resistance of 800 ohms. ” The conductor was joined together by screw couplings, and it is to the defective condition of these that the high resistance was due.

A resident of Porter street appeared on Michigan avenue the other day with a red woolen rag around hie neck and a tonsilitis look in his eyes, and almost the first man he met inquired: “Ah! case of pneumonia, I suppose ?’ “No, sir,” was the husky reply. “Spinal meningitis, perhaps ?” “No, sir.” “Rheumatism settled in your back, eh?” “No, sir. “Troubled with corns ?” “See here, man I” remonstrated the other, “did you ever hear of a man tying up his throat to core an ailment of his feet?” “Did I? Let’s see. Say, by George, I never did. Come to think of it, it must be something the matter with your kidueys or liver. ■’ A New York correspondent suggests the idea of charging admission to churches when a “star” preacher is in the pulpit. “Star” preachers only ap pear iu fashionable churches in New York, aud as poor people are not wel comed iu such houses, it is not neces sary to resort to an admission fee to exclude them. A fee of $1 for a reserved seat would beautifully illustrate the scriptural teaching that “Salvation is free.” No vehicle desired: “And so,” saj the naruttor, Closing his story, “they took him up to the cemetery iu a gold- ■nouutjd hearse, with four black horses and all the bands in the garrison play ing the ‘Dead March.’ ” “Very grand, I cl essay,” remarks his listener, “but i don’t care for style.

A new branch of industry has sprung up in Sweden lately—the fabrication of paper from moss, not from the livipg plant, but from the bleached and blanched remains of mosses that lived centuries ago, and • of which enormous masses have accumulated in most parts of Sweden. A manufactory of paper from this material has begun operations near Joenkaeping, and is turning out paper in all degrees of excellence, from tissues to three-quarters of au inch in thickness, These iuttei are harder than wood. The entire surface of the globe occu pies about 200,000,000 of square miles, nearly three quarters of which is cov ered by water, that is, the extent of the water is nearly three times as great as that of the land.
