Waste ok the Fabm.—The greatest
tf wastes on the farm is in not osing
onr brains; the greatest because at the
bottom of all other wastes. A little
thinking often saves much labor. After
acoomplishing almost any labor the
most of us can look back and see how
we could have improved on it if we had
but thought.
The ditch we dug through our mead
ows, was not done in the most econom
ical way. We dug too deeply at first,
and did not allow for the setting of the
land. That was an unnecessary waste
of labor.
We omitted to buy an implement that
would have saved nearly its cost in one
year’s use, until we had spent much
time in trying to do our work without it.
Another waste.
We carry a water pipe too near the
surface to save the expense of digging
a trench of a safe depth,and the winter’s
frost necessitates a replacement of the
pipe and an additional digging. Another
waste here.
We allowed the weeds to grow on one
piece of land, not thinking to what pro
portions they would grow by the time
the crops were too far advanced to admit
the hoe. A waste here which might
have been obviated. . And so on, wastes,
little and big, every whore, all arising
from our not thinking sufficiently-waste
because easily avoided.
Wo omit the ordinary waste from ne
glect, from laziness, from want of appre
ciation of cleanliness—the waste from
our stock, from our manure heap, from
our household.
Verily a little thought will save to the
farmer much, and the saving through
this means, even on a small farm, will
represent the interest on a considerable
capital.
The wastes arising from ignorance
can very easily be diminished, and are
in a large part inexcnsable;those arising
from carelessness are not deserving of
sympathy. The farmer, as well as the
business man, must use business princi
ples to secure ti e largest success, and
the one should be as careful of the out
goes as the other.
Sheei* Fakming.—Despite the con-
stant attention winch is called to the
value of sheep, not only as improvers of
the land, but as profitable farm animals,
for wool and mutton, there are many
farmers who have never raised or kept a
single sheep, though their farms are
adapted to raising sheep largely and
profitably. Why this is we cannot im
agine, for facts and figures can be had
by the score to prove the profitableness
of sheep breeding, if necessary, and
about the only drawback in many local
ities is the loss occasioned by dogs.
Many a rough, wornout or neglected
farm might be brought up rapidly and
be made paying land,by breeding sbeep
thereon, as the manure from the sheep
is one of the most enriching of manures,
and is evenly and finely uistributed. Of
course they may not do this without
being fed something besides what they
can get in the fields, yet this additional
food works to the profit of the breeder
in two ways—it not only insures good
and profitable growth of flesh and wool,
bnt it makes the manure noher and
more valuable. Even poor farmers can
give sheep a trial by commencing in a
small way, and then, as means and ex
perience are gained, the flocks cau be
gradually increased by purchases, though
the natural increase from a small flock
of sheep is by no means inconsiderable,
if properly managed and cared for as
they should be. Like any other kind
of stock, they must have good care and
food to secure the greatest measure of
profit.
Mb Wall last season distributed
about four bushels of the Ricta wheat
—a rust-proof variety—among about
forty farmers living in various port ons
of the State. It was grown on the
plains of Tusoany, and is reported to be
the only kind that does not rust iu that
locality. The reports received from
those who have planted it iu Mississippi
indicate that it has thus far proven to
bo a reliable rust-proof variety.
We have found a little salt sprinkled
on a manure heap one of the host appli
cations both for summer and winter. In
warm weather it attracts moisture and
keeps the manure from fire fangmg, or
burning from excessive fermentation .In
winter it keeps the heap irom freezing
solid, and at any season it makes the
manure more soluble.
In order to keep the striped beetle
from vines the experiment was tried of
placing corn-cobs dipped iu coal-tar
near Ihe hills. While the practice did
not entirely prevent the ravages of the
beetle, their numbers wsre largely di
minished.
Occasional sowing of little patches
of ground with mustard, green peas,
oats, etc.,will do mue i to assist in keep
ing a cow on a small form. They grow
quickly and the same land will give sev
eral crops. A little discretion in this
way will save much expense as well as
furnishing early green seed.
The willow is successfully usel as a
preventive of malaria in Syria,and there
is no reason why it "hould not be valu
able for this purpose here—especially
as it has so many other excellent pro
perties, for embankment of streams,
fuel, etc.
A JNew Jersey peach grower says ho
eares nothing for the yellows. Give the
perch trees a good dose of potash all
over the ground where the roots feed,
and wash the bodies each spring with
lye. and the yellows can not only be pre
vented, but cured.
F. I) Curtis says that twenty years
ago he treated a stunted Fameuse apple
tree with a wheelbarrow full of leached
ashes, and the tree shows the benefit
of it to this day. Mr. Curtis also says
that too many vaneties of fruit are a
nuisance and an endless amount of
work.
The best remedy for cabbage-worms
on a small scale, and which we have
used for many years, is hand-pioking
before the plants form heads, and hot
water from a watering-pot when the
heads appear—some practice being re
quired to know Just how hot and how
long to apply the water-
A gardener in Baltimore who has a
number of large hothouses for growing

bees in each house for the purpose of

Household hints.—Barley added to
pea soap helps to give it an appetiz
ing flavor, and it adds to its nutritive
qualities also.
DOMESTIC.
Paokino butter.—Use six-gallon stone
crooks; rinse well with brine and dry
thoroughly. Sprinkle a little salt
evenly over the bottom of the jar, then
pack in the butter as solid as possible.
Make a quart of brine strong enough to
bear an egg and pour over the butter;
set away in a cool place. When the next
churning is ready to pack, pour off the
brine in an earthen dish; put in the
butter, press down firmly and poor over
the brine ; continue the same until the
jar is full; then pour off the brine and
place on the butter a clean cloth that
has been wet in the brine; on this
cloth place enough salt to fill the jar;
tie another cloth over the top and on it
place a board and stone. Butter worked
and packed according to these direc
tions will keep sweet for months.
Eaos.—Procure a pine box nineteen
inches long, thirteen inches wide and
eight inches deep (this is a oonvenient
size to pack in and handle:) cover the
bottom with salt, on this place a layer
of eggs with the small ends down, and
so on until the box is filled. Do not
allow the eggs to touch each other,
nor any part of the box. Care should
also be taken that each layer of salt is
thick enough to keep each layer of eggs
separate. The secret of success lies in
keeping each surrounded by salt. The
top layer should be of salt. Keep in a
cool place. Do not use stone jars for
packing, as in them the eggs will gath
er dampness and spoil,
Coknmead fruit pudding.—Scald one
pint of milk, pour ou one large cup of
white Indian meal, when cool add one
cup of flour aud one cup of cold milk or
enough to make a smooth paste. Beat
well together. Make a custard of a
pint and a half of milk, one cap of
powdered sugar and four eggs ; beat
gradually iuto the paste. When all
are mixed into a light batter, stir iu two
tahlespoonfuls of malted butter, one
teaspoonful .of mixed ciuuamou aud
mace, oue-half pound of seeded aud
chopped raisins, first dredging the rais
ins well with flour. Last’of all stir in
a teaspo'inful of soda dissolved in a lit
tle boiling water. Beat up hard and
quickly. Tour into a buttered dish
and bake in a quick aud steady oven
one hour.
Swedish pudding. — One-half pound
of flour ; one-half pound of butter;
half pound of sugar ; eight eggs ; a
little salt. Rub the sugar and butter
to a cream : add the yolks well beaten,
the salt, flour, aud lastly the whites of
the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Cook
by steaming tbem in a steamer about
half an hour. Tut die batter three-
fourths of an inch deep iuto teacups.
The batter will fill the oups. Turn
them on a hot platter. Serve imme
diately with a clear brandy sauce iu
the bottom of the dish. Half the
above quantity will be suffioient for a
small family.
Charlotte Rasse.—One pint milk;
three quarters pound sugar : one-half
box gelatine. Put these together, aud
set over a kettle of boiliug water ; after
the gelatine is dissolved, beat four eggs
aud stir in. L c av« over the tiro until
it looks clear, then let it cool. Beat to
a stifl froth one pint of cream, then add
vanilla to taste. Stir all well together,
and set iu a cool place with ice around
it. When you add the eggs stir thor
oughly all the time aud when it is
cool, beat it well. Put cake iu a
mould, stuck together with white of
egg, aud put the liquid inside, or serve
cake aud liquid separately.
Working butter —Wash the butter
well with pure cold water, drain thor
oughly before salting; an ounce of
salt to a pound of butter is the rule ;
work tlia salt iu evenly aud sot away iu
a cool place from five to twelve hours.
When the salt has dissolved it is ready
to work up a second time. Working
butter a second time prevents it becom
ing streaked, Work out wbat bnue
you cau, but take care not to work it
until it becomes oily The buttermilk
should all be removed when the butter
is washed, us it is that, and not the
bnue, as is generally supposed, which
spoils the flavor of the butter aud pre
vents it from keeping well.
Atplk butter.—Nice apple butter is
excellent with cold meat. Use tart
apples, and to three pecks, after they
are peeled and quartered, allow mue
pounds ot brown sugar and two gal
lons of water. Let the water come to
a boil, then add the su^ar; wuen it is
dissolved put iu the apples. Stir them
constantly with a large wooden spoon.
After th a y are soft let them simmer
until they are thick and do not seem
at all watery. If you wish to add any
spices you may do so, Cmuamou, nut
meg and a little ginger are liked by
some people.
Cheshire cheese toasted,—Out some
slices of stale bread about an inch thick,
pare off the crusts aud toast a light
brown; cut slices of mellow cheese
about a quarter of an inch iu thickness,
but not as large as the bread by half
an inch ou each side ; out off the rind,
and lay on the toast iu a cheese toaster;
carefully watch the pieces that they do
not burn. Serve smoking hot upon the
toast with some good mustard aud cay
enne.
Fob a positive cure for water bugs.—
Take a kettleful of water, a cupful of
washing-soda. Lot it come to a boll, after
which pour it down the water-pipes
commencing at the top of the house!
Repeat the operation once or twice and
yon will have destroyed ninety-nine per
cent of the bugs, which breed inside
the pipes during the month of Septem
ber, The lew remaining in the room
can be reached witn insect powder.
The best way to procure chestnut
trees is to plant the nuts where the trees
are to stand. Plant them when fresh,
in the fall, three inches deen, oorer the
ground with board, and then with straw
and remove those in the spring, ihe
ground should be hoed, as with corn.
The trees will moke a rapid growth.
It Is very remarkable that so few at
tempts are made to grow the foreign
chestnut tree, known variously as the
French, Spanish and Italian.
A novel substitute for a tidy is sim

A novel method of draining very wet
swamps is being practiced in some coun
tries. It is known to botanists that
most large leaved plants give off about
their own weight in moisture in from
thirty-six to forty-eight hours. Upon
this prindiple, certain plants have been
grown in swamps which were not wan -
ted for immediate cultivation, aud m a
few years the swamps became dry aud
had borne in addition a crop of hoop
poles or other product. The great eu
calypti of Australia are especially useful
for this work, but many of our own trees
answer the purpose admirably.

Of all men no doubt the mechanic and
laborer suffer more from disease than any
other class—not always in the disease itself,
but the circumstances surrounding their
cases. Who can depict a more horrifying

flesh and strength, having no power of con
trol, a helpless prey to some malady? Per-
