Late \ koetableb.—a gentleman told
ns tne other clu> mat last jtar he had
constantly tor stverai months green
peas upon his table, of nu own raising,
and that they loet notlung of their de-
liuiousneeB. There is no difficulty In
this, if gardeners ate instructed to go
steadily on with their plantings through
the season; but few will do it on Weir
own account, as it adds to their labor.
The way, however, to raise the Unest
quality of peas is,alter tne hrsttowings,
to pirut them deep and mulch them, so
that the soil they root in is always cool
and moist. In the careless manner m
winch peas are olteu cultivated that
they have very little flavor and delicacy.
It is so with raising what is called the
snap-short beans. They are seldom
planted deep enough, and as a conse
quence have no more flavor than a
piece of india-rubber, and about as
tough. £nt the beans planted in Sep
tember, ami in due time are lor sale in
our market!, are really delicious in fla
vor ana fairly men in their mouth.
This is the result of cooi son. But
were these beaus planted three or tour
inches deep, as we have more than once
suggested, throughi/nt the season, and
muicheu in the hottest pait of it, we
could have, as witn the peas, these veg
etables at all times up to hiovemrer in
pertection.
Although our improved varieties of
apples are far superror to that of the
piumuve crub-apple m general qualitie
yet that Hucrent specimen has ns uses
and purposes. Tney are specially fos-
teieu in some sections lor cider-making,
being superior to all other kinds nr tout
respect, and the trees are hardy, lree,ab
a ime, nom insect attacks, unu proluoe
bearers. Crab-apple trees seem to wear
well under all cneumstaijces, yielding
heavy crops and sound nu.t. h er pre
serving tney are excellent, us they pos
sess peculiar acid properties and llavors
unknown in other apples, and when
luiiy ripe are relished oy some in pre
ference to the improved Varieties. As
the ciuO-upple is tne source iroru which
we derived most ol our lavorite, the at
tempt to propagate the better v.inches
from seen reads to a reversion, anl we

seeds ol even the most higbry improveu

Scalloped Clah*.—Scald the dams,
drain off the liquor and chop them up
very fine. Butter the cavities of a
number of largo clara shells, or, if pre
ferred, a number of individual vegeta
ble disbes. Tut in a thin layer of gra
ted bread crumbs or cracker dust (the
bread crumbs are to be preferred), then
a layer of the chopped clams, a few
small pieces of butter, a sprinkle of
chopped parsley and a dust of black
pepper; then a layer of bread crumbs
and another of clams, etc., and so on
alternate by until you have the desired
quantity, the last layer being bread
crumbs, upon which lay two or three
pieces of butter, and pour in a small
portion of rich cream or a little sherry,
or a little of tbe strained liquor from
the scalded dams. This liquor is, how
ever, often very salty, therefore care
must be exercised in the use of it. Bet
your scallops iu a baking pan and cook
in a moderate oven for fifteen or twenty
minutes, or nntil the tops are of a deli
cate yellow color. Serve very hot.
The Flow.—It will be found that a
two-Lorse sic* 1 plow that cuts a width
of twice the distance of a one-horse
plow, breaking three acres a day to the
one acre of tbe one-horse plow, saves
the farmer the labor of two men eaeli
day the plow is ar work. A good culti
vator, that plows from seven to eight
acres a day, does the work of two sin
gle plows, and saves the labor ^.f one
hanu every day it is in use. The econ
omy and perfection of the mower,reaper
ana horse-rake are too well known to
require comment.
Bbeedino Geese. —In breeding geese
the goslings may be killed ill' every
year ana none saved for the next year
but the old ones, except it be one 01
two of the best goslings, to take the
place of such as are killed or hurt by
accident. Geese lay regularly, breed
and rear their young lor filty or sixty
years. Bo if oue lias a good breeding
goose, it is best to keep her for years.
Ganders become so cross iu a tew
years as to be unbearable, and when
such is the case they are fit candidates
for the spit.
A faiimeii who is largely engaged in
raiding stock adopts the following
method in raising calves, and meets
with excellent succi ss: The calves are
tethered and allowed five quarts ol skim
mii& morning and night. In the winter
they received one quait each of wheat
ana bran, and when they have finished
that they are allowed a small quantity
of hay.
Toilet Boat.—Drippings which ac
cumulate iu almost every household,
cau be used for the grease. They
should first be boiled iu water, and tbeu
left to cool; afterward they should be
removed from the water and boiled alone
until tbe water is expelled. The whiter
tbe grease can be made tbe better the
soap will be. Tbe ingredients of tbe
soap are six pounds of sal soda, seven
pounds of grease, three pounds of un
slackened lime, four gallons of soft
water, and one-half pound of borax.
Boil the soda and lime in the water
until they are dissolved; let the mixture
stand over night to settle; pour off the
clear lye, to which add the grease and
pulverized borax, and boil to the con
sistency of honey. Take the mixture
iroru the stove, stir in oue ounce of sas
safras or lavenuer, and pour it into a
tub, or what is still better, a tight,
shallow box, to cool, and when cold,
cut into bars and put on boards to dry.
Tomato Pancakes.—Slice four large
tomatoes of firm substance; they may
be peeled or used with the skin on, but
the potatoes must be firm and the slices
cut perfectly even and about half an
inch thick. Make a frying batter as
follows: Sift together a cupful of flour
and one teaspooutul each of sugar, suit
and baking powder; have rea ly a fry
ing-kettle nab full of fat. set oyer the
tire, and when the fat begins to grow
hot beat two eggs quickly, mix them
with a pint of milk, and then stir in the
flour; worn as fast as poi sit 1 >, so that
the batter may be used while it is light
with the gas which is generated wiien
the baking powder is wet; season the
slices of tomato with salt and pepper,
dip them into the batter and drop them
into the fat when it begins to smoke;
try them golden-brown, then take them
from the tat with a skimmer, lay them
tor a moment on hrown paper to free
'hem trom the grease, and serve them
hot.
Thebe was a bright little boy between
2 and 3 years old picked up as he was
wandering on the street and carried to
the l our Courts, where he took a seat
ou the railing in front of the Central
Station, stuck out his chubby legs and
scared at everyone who came in without
being the least abashed. As is custo
mary iu such cases, an endeavor was
made to elicit inhumation from him
that might lead to his restoration to his
distracted parents. The little fellow
appeared willing to tell all he knew.
“What’s your name, young.man?”
they asked him.
“Jimmie Bearden,’’ he lisped.
“What’s your papa’s name ?”
“Papa.”
“Bat what does your mamma call
him ?”
The cherub’s face lightened up with
pleasure at being able to furnish the
desired information, as he answered:
“She tells him, you old divole, you,”
The examination was postponed.

Stuven, a leading commission merchant of
this city, after having exhausted all other
remedies has been completely cured of
rheumatism by the use of St. Jacob’s Oil,
tbe great pain-bamshcr. He makes this
public.
“I remember,” said a Detroit boy to
his Sun ay-aohool teacher, “you told
me to always stop and count fifty when
angry.”
“Yes ? Well, I’m glad to hear it. It
cooled your auger, didn’t it ?”
“You see, a boy he came into our
alley and made faces at me and dared
me to fight. I was going for bun. He
was bigger’n me, and I’d have got pul
verized. I remembered what you said
and began to count.”
“And you didn’t fight?”
“No, ma’am. Just as I got to forty-
two my big brother come along, and
the way he licked that boy would have
made your mouth water! I was going to
count fifty and then run I”
Feeding young Chickens.—Young
chickens anuk a good ueal of water, but
they, in common with all animals, know
just how much they need. Mix your
corn dough very dry and crumbly, and
let the little ichows have plenty of fresh
water to Unuk after eating,ana they wifi
not drink too much; but if their mess is
mixed thin and sloppy, they will befor-
oed to fill themselves with too much
water to get at their feed.
“What is woith doing is worth doing
well.” This old proverb will nowhere
apply with more force than in the rais
ing of poultry. Without constant care
and attention in this,success is not to be
expected. Borne kinds of business may
be occasionally slighted without serious
harm, but the least inattention in this
occupation may cause a mishap that will
blast the hopes of a whole season.
During his recent travels in Europe,
ProlttBor budd, of the Iowa Agricultu
ral College, found a vast fruit region m

where the mercury sinks to 50 oegrees
below zero,in which choice apples.pears
plums and cherries were grown in un
limited quantities.
It is worth the experiment of training
» tew vines of the sw’jet potato to climb
on short poles. A recent writer states
that with a few rows so treated be work

did not form side roots, and the yield
was much larger than from those grown
m the usual way.

It is stated, and with good claims,
that sunflowers will absorb malaria and
render marsbly tracts healthful. Oue

Curds and Whey.—Heat new milk to
a temperature ol 98 degrees F. by plac
ing il over the fire in a saucepan set in
a pun of hot water Wiien the milk is
wurm take it from the fire, put it into
un earthen dish, and mix with one table-
spoi nlul of leunet wine; stir the milk
slowly until it begins to grow thick;
(hen let it stand undisturbed for about
twenty minutes, or until the curd sep-
arab s from the whey; then gently pour
the conUn s of the oisb into a shallow
sieve set over a bowl, without breaking
the curd, if possible, and let the whey
drain off ; wnen the curd is drained slip
it from the sieve into a gloss or china
di»h, and serve it with cream, A piut
of creuin is allowed for the curd from a
quart ol milk. Powdered sugar is used
t j suit the palate.
To Preserve Strawberries Whole.
— Take equal weights of the largest
strawbirnes procurable and fine lo»f
tugnr; lay the fruit in deep dishes and
sprinkle half the sugar over them in
tine powder; give tne dish a gentle
shake th,.t the sugar may always touch
the under part of tne fruit; on the next
day make a sirup with the remainder of
the sugar and the juice drawn from the
strawnenies and boil it until it jellies;
then caretully put in the strawberries
and let them simmer nearly an hour;
next put them with care into jsrs or
bottles, and fill up with the sirup, of
which there will be more than required,
but on the next day the jars will holu
nearly or quite the whole: covtr the
jars or bottles with brandy papers.
Bacon Banpwiches.—Obtain from
any grocer what they call “parings,”
which are really the outer slices of
bacon, and, though equally as good as
the remainder, are often of a darker
color. For this reason these are often
sold at sixpence a pound. Place them
between very thin layers of bread, and,
having previously prepared a thin bat
ter of oue egg to a gilt e>f milk, iuun res
the sandwiches into the mixture; ik n
place them into a pan of boiling lard,
fat or dripping ana fry to a rich golden-
brown. wnen the bacon will be suffici n -
ly cooked. These, if trimmed nicely
and served on a napkin, much resemble
a thin pancake.
The iruit put up in tin cans should
be taken out when the can is opened
for use. If allowed to reman after the
can is opened the action of acid juices
upon the tin when exposed to the air
may form acetate of tin, which is pois
onous. Pour the fruit out into glass or
earthenware dishes, and tbe danger of
poisoning is avoided.

What wnuld have paralyzed him: It

for tne third act when Smith, who had
been out to “see a man,” noticed Brown
seated a few rows iu front of him. “D >

to his wife. She nodded assent. “Well,”
he continued, “I hate that fellow like a
cat hates hot soap, and if I ever get a
chance I’ll ‘paralyze’ him.” Then his
wife asked: “Are you going out to see
another man after the clo-eof this act?’
Smith hiccoughingly allowed that he
was. “Well, I tell you what to do, dear,

One of the most attractive descriptions
of ornamental prodnets now results
from the utilization of an otherwise
useless and offensive article, namely,
fish scales. By means of a simple pro
cess the scales are cleansed and purified
till the clear, horny substance or core
of the same is obtained, and this may
>e stamped into various ornamental
shapes and dyed in all colors, for artis
tic purposes. Large scales are the most
advantageous, taken from fresh flsh;old
scales cannot be used, as they lack elas
ticity and dearness, The fresh scales
are exposed for twenty-four hours to the
action of pure salt water, for loosening
and partially separating the outer layers
of organic matter; they are then trans-
:'erred to distilled water, being placed
every two or three hours in clean water,
and washed five or six times, which
randero the scales soft and clear. Each
scale is now oarefnlly rubbed with clean
men rags, and subsequently passed
through a press having a linen lining so
as to remove the moisture entirely from
the scales. As a final operation the
scales are placed for one hour in alcohol
and again rubbed and pressed, when
they are dry and have a perfectly clear
appearance, a mother-of-pearl-like hue,
and great elasticity and durability. The
scales are need in this prepared state, or
they may be dyed with aniline and
other colors, in the usual manner, to
be stamped into various ornamental
shapes.
Walk More and Sleep soundly.
Mk. John W. Col a. Principal of tbe Gale School,
Troy, N. Y., writes ns:
“Troy, N. Y., April T, 1888.
“fiavtng been afflicted for several years past
with illness, the cause of which was unknown to
me for a long time, and mr continued disability
getting to be of so serious and distressing a char
acter as to cause great anxiety with my family end
friends, I became satisfied upon close Investigation
that tne cause of my sickness was the diseased con
dition of my kidneys and liver. At this time by ac
cident a friend, who had similar symptoms to mine
informed tie of the great improvement in his
health by taking Hunt's Remedy, and persuaded
me to try It. I Immediately commenced taking it,
and from the first bottle began to improve, and its
continued use a'lfords very encouraging results. I
can sleep soundly,walk better, am free from pains,
and the severe aUacks of headache from which I
suffered so much have disappeared, and I cheer
fully recommend Hunt’s Remedy for all purposes
for which It Is advertised. 1 will add m closing
that my wife has used It very successfully for pre

Flesh, muscle and mind alike deteriorate when
tbe stomach talters in ita duty, and the bowela do

prolonged or vigorous exertion. Every organ,
every member, even the Immortal mind Itself, is
to a certain extent dependent upon the stomach
for support. Strongmen and regulate this feeder

Not very many years ago Russia made
heavy purchases m America of machin
ery to develop her petroleum tields.and
offered such inducements to experienced
oil workers that hundreds of Americans
began operations in Southern Russia.
Railroads were built, improved machin
ery was used in raising the oil, and a
few days ago Russian operators entered
the market at Trieste, eager to compete
with American houses. Americans
working ui Russia have so far developed
t he Russian oil fields as to bring their
products in competition with American
oils.
Growthof the Great West.
One best realizes theunmensify of ihe em-

he views it from Chicago, which may be

Stauding in one of the great depots of the
Garden City, notably in thatofT.iE Great
Rock Island Route, and viewing the
crowded irains departing for Kansas City,
Leavenworth, Atchinson, Council Bluffs’
Minneapolis and St. Paul, the thought pre
dominates that the West must be. and is
tilling up so rapidly as to preclude the idea
of virgin lands being obtained in the near
tuiure. The Rock Island sends out six
through trains daily, all of which are large
ly filled by people who are intent upon
founding new homes.

fore travelers or emigrants wanting to go
