Mki i i V H r & - AOBIOULTUBE, Feedinq fob Quality and Yield.—A writer has the following to say regard ing the feeding of dairy cows for quali ty and yield: “To produce first-class gilt-edged butter from a herd of Jersey cows, vhe food must be pure and whole some at all times. Weeds m pastures or hay destroy the fine flavor of the but ter,. Rag weed and others are as injur ious in a manner as wild onions. The next great point is cleanliness,commen cing at the yards and stables, and end ing with the finishing of the butter. To wet a cow’s teats v'hile milking is a filthy practice, and should never be tol erated. If these rules are strictly ad hered to and the modem dairy fixtures employed, the result will be satisfactory. If it is’ not, then the dairy maid has ne glected something, or she does not un derstand the business. J have noticed in your valuable paper the statement of a correspondent that if a cow yields a large amount of butter it will be of an infenor quality on account of the large quantity of food required to produce it. 1 assert that to be a delusion. Take, for instance, Mr. Darling’s young cow, Bomba,now admitted to be the queen of her family, and full sister to F. M. Ca ryl’s young bull, Trailer, who, fiom all present indications, is destined to be the coming bull and Sing of the Rioter- Violet-Alphea family. Bomba was not over-fed during her official test. To make a cow pay give her a vanety of good food of a bulky nature, os much as you can get her to eat up clean, with plenty of pure water to drink, and not allow her to be beaten, worried or exci ted ; and you may be assured that the lood will not injure the quality of her butter. Any practical man knows,when testing a cow, that if he overfeeds her she will surely go off her feet inside of three days, and probably be sick from indigestion. That ends the test until she recovers her health. It is sheer folly to try to force a sixteen or eighteen pound cow to yield twenty-one pounds of butter in seven days. There is no food known to dairymen that will do it." Care should be taken to see that plants in pots are given g66d drainage. This is best secured by putting a lot of broken bncbs or pieces of broken pots in the bottom of the flower-pot. These pieces should be as large as a hazelnut cr even larger. Over ibese pieces some dried moss, sphagnum or peat should be placed, or even a handful of dry grass, if nothing better can be had. This will prevent the earth from failing among the fragments and will insure complete drainage. It is supposed, of course, that the regular flower-pots are used with a hole at the bottom for the escape of the water. If a box or other vessel be used a hole should be made in the bottom. Persons who have never tried the above method will be surpris ed with the difference it will moke m their plants. The earth m the pots could be kept moist, but not wet,soggy, nor cold. We have often seen trees of the same variety of apple or cherry, which year alter year differed in shades of flavor or times of ripening. Professor Beal says: *T have two lots of Red Canada, one giown on Northern Spy stock and the other on Early Harvest. Apples on the latter rot first and are less brilliant in color.’’ Many instances have occurred •n-Loi-o lhi. nhick have shown some iLllu- eni e, but in none has there nueen an entire change in the variety. A North ern Spy is always a Northern Spy, and nothing else, A Red Canada is never changed to an Early Harvest. And yet there is no doubt that the mollification of a sort, ascribed to the stock, is often the result of a difference in soil, or oth er external cause. We have seen so much change produced in a pear by cultivation, after growing under neglect, that a common observer would not re cognize the identity. DOMESTIC. An old and much-believed-in notion is this: A mother who is nursing her baby should not eat certain articles of food, no matter how much she may crave them, or how essential they may seem to be. Prominent among these discarded articles are various vegetables, such as cabbage, turnips, onions, and of fruits the must not eat plums, or any thing tart. In place of these or as a compensation for her loss, she may drmk any quantity of tea. Sensible physicians and nurses are doing all that is possible to change this order. They say, and abundant evidence proves it true, that if from the first the mother eats in moderation the same food to which she has been accustomed, it wiil in the end be much better for her and for the child. The first time she eats vegetables the baby may cry, but he will not after that. Strength and flesh are often lost by the attempts at heroic self-denial many mothers have made. The woman to whom this is a new thought will be surprised to know that lemons even may be eaten with impuni ty, since the natural acids are so changed by the action of the gastric juice as to be rendered harmless. Ice Creau Cakes. —Stir together, till very light, a quarter of a pound of pow dered sugar and a quarter of a pound of fresh butter. Beat six eggs very light and stir into them a bait-pint of rmh milk. Add gradually the eggs and milk in the butter and sugar, alternately with a half a pound of sifted flour. Add a glass of sweet wine and some grated nutmeg. When all the ingredients are mixed, stir the batter very hard. Then pour it into small deep pans, or cups that have beeu well buttered, filling them about two-thirds with the batter. Set them immediately into a brisk oven and bake them brown. When done, remove them from the cups, and place them to cool on an inverted sieve. When quite cold make » slit or incision n the side of each cake, if very light and properly baked they will be hollow in the middle. Fill up this cavity with ice-cream carefully put iu with a spoon, and then close the slit with your fingers to prevent the cream ruuning out. Spread them on a large dish. Either send them to the table immediately before the ice-cream melts, or keep them on ice till wanted. Flowers in Grass,—A cheap way to obtain flowers for landscape effect Is by placing groups of red pieonies in grass. They grow, take care of themselves, and make a brilliant display in their season, being seen some distance from the dwelling. Some of the white and pink varieties will also grow freely when treated in this way, as well as other of the more showy perennials. The mead ow lily, (L’canadense) will 1 old its own in any grass ground, and when done blooming the plant does not disfigure the ground. Iu late summer, Asdepian turuaa makes a flue show seen at a dis tance m grass. Although it is convenient to have the tea-kettle on the stove at all times, with a supply of boiling or hot water in it, still, unless cooking is going on, it is best not to let water continually boil down in the kettle. It is a fact that this harmless article of stove furniture may become a source of disease iu edn- scquence of the sediment which forms in the bottom and sides, and is dissolved Mwaavr v avojlac mill 1111X611 WITH lOOQ. It is a common but erroneous notion that the tea kettle never needs to be thoroughly cleansed. It should be washed as well as any other kettle or dish. Room Plants,—The more freely a plant is growing the more water it will require, and the more it grows the more light and sun will it need. In all cases those plants which grow the fastest should be placed nearest the light. The best aspect for room plants is in the southeast. They seem like .animals in their affection for the morning sun, The first morning ray is worth a dozen in the evening. In the island of Jamaica splendid cat tle are raised on Guinea grass, many weighing 2000 pounds or more after be ing dressed. Thousands of acres in Guinea grass can be seen in some parts of the island,stretching for miles on the hillsides and plains, and stocked with the finest imported cattle from Eng land. Flowers in Potatoes.—A good way to preserve flowers in bloom for long carriage; or in baskets or vases which will not hold water, is to stick the stems into holes bored iu raw potatoes. There is moisture encugh in a large potato to support a flower for a long time in a cool place. The potatoes can easily be hidden by mosses or leaves. In keeping hens throughthe Summer one of the essential requisites to suc cessful egg production is a small room where fowls disposed to be broody can be shut up for a few days, fed well, and given no chance to set. A week will usually bring them around, and if let out they will begin laying again. Potatoes.—The Colorado beetle is the leading enemy to the potato. It can be successfully fought with Paris green or London purple, if the poison is used as soon as the young “worms’’ made their appearance. The ground must be well stirred and kept free of weeds, and the crop dug early € to avoid the wet rot. When jellies and fruits are taken to the light a thick mould often appears on the top of the jar or glass. To pre vent this when putting them up, lay a lump of paraffine on top of the hot jelly, letting it spread over, or the paraffine can lie melted and poured over when the jelly is cold; no paper for the top will be necessary. This a good house keeper strongly indorses as efficacious. If the carpet in your sitting-room is becoming thin, and you think it will last but a short time longer; buy the new carpet new, if possible, and let the old one rest through the summer. Have it thoroughly cleaned, aired and sunned, and then lay it away. A carpet treated in tllis way will bear the wear of several winters, whereas, if kept down the whole year, it will not last more than one. There are almost a score of incubators in operation at Hammonton. N. J., and there will be more chickens hatched there Ibis reason than ever before, the climate and soil, as well as location, being specially adapted to the raising 6f poultry. Soot contains a small percentage of nitrogen. Used alone it makes an ex cellent top-dressing for spring grain and grass, being quick in its action without being too stimulating. It has also the property of destroying slugs on winter grain. It is bad policy to wash harness with eoap, as the potash injures the leather. If the harness becomes rusty rub -jff the dirt as well as possible with a soft brush and supply a dressing of grain black, followed with oil or tallow,which will fasten the color and make the leather pliable. To utilize the feathers of ducks, chickens and turkeys, generally thrown aside as refuse, trim the plume from the stump, inclose them in a tight bag, mb the whole as if washing clothes and you will secure a perfectly uniform and light down, excellent for quilting cover, lets and not a few other purposes. Every cook knows how long a time it takes, when it can least be spared, to look over one or two quarts of beans. An ingenious housewife, who is always trying to save time says: Put the beaus in a colander, and all the tine dirt will be shaken out, and the beans that are specked can be picked out with ease, and in a very short time. The addition of a little mace to a veal soup will give an agreeable flavor to it. Do not put in enough to make it a distinct flavor, but put it iu with the herbs and pepper and salt. A mixture of three parts linseed oil and one of spirits of turpentine is ex cellent for restoring marked furniture. Apply with a woolen cloth and polish with a clean piece of woolen when dry. Do not throw away woolen stockings, even if the feet are entirely worn out, o are so thin as to warrant no more wearing; the legs make the best kind of stockings for a child two years old. Cut a pattern from a little “boughten” pair, and make with small, soft seams. Economical and very useful bibs for teething children are made of honey comb canvas. They may be bound with tape, or trimmed with a cheap but pretty cotton edging, which can be bought in packages containing five or more yards m a package. If the wall about the stove has been smoked by the stove, cover the black patches with gum shellac and they will not strike through either paint or cal cimine. Wafers to be used with jelly in place of tarts are made of pie crust. They should be made with very cold water, and rolled as thin as possible. Cut them in squares. It is said that a handful of hay in a bucket of water placed m a room reoent y I painted, is effectual in removing the dis agreeable odor of the paint. HUMOROUS, A woman whose dress seemed to prove that she belonged to the poorer class called into a Detroit wall paper store the other day and asked for samples, saying that she would give them all a trial and then buy several rolls of the one which barmonizjd the best. She returned in the afternoon for another lot, and returned next day and said: “I am sorry to say that I can’t find anything to harmonize.” •Ts that so ? What room is it “The parlor.'■ “And did you want the paper to har monize with the carpet and upholstery !’’ “Well, I didn’t care so much about the furniture, though I have three cane- seat chairs which cost $1 apiece, but I wanted harmony between the paper and the carpet. The carpet is an ingrain, with criss-cross stripes of orange and black, and it cost fifty cents a yard. Seems to me if you had a plum-oolored paper with sunflowers on it that room would look too sweet for anything." They advised aer to wait for the spring patterns, and during the interval to secure an opinion froni Oscar Wilde, and she decided to do so. A 1’artlally Dead Man. The Morning Herald, Baltimore, Md. t states: Major B. S. White, of this city, de scribes his miraculous cure as follows. “I have been a partially dead man for ten years. Doctors attributed my sufferings to the enlargement of certain glands. The quantity of medicine I took without relief would be sufficient to set up a first-class apothecary shop Finally Bt. Jacob’s Oil was recommended. I had my spinal column thoroughly rubbed with it. All those knots, kinks and stiffness have pass ed away, and 1 am myself again." Amie was six years old, and was going to school with a sister of nine. One afternoon, when school was near its close, her uncle came by and pro posed to carry them home. The elder girl was at the head of her class, and would not leave, but Annie said; “All right, Uncle Buck ! I’ll go. I am foot, and can’t get any footer !’’ condemn in others what they practice themselves.” Those who practice the use of Kidney-Wort never condemn its use by others, but commend it to all af fected with piles, dyspepsia, constipation and all other diseases resulting from a dis ordered state of kidneys, liver or bowels. ©aSTDiamond Dyes are so perfect and so beautiful that it is a pleasure to use them.
