AGRICULTURE. How Mlch Ashes to the Ackk.—The quantity of ashes that may be used de pends mostly upon the depth and breadth of the purse. One thousand bushels to the acre would not hurt the land, but one hundred would be an el- feotive dressing, or, if no more than 20 or 30 can be used, the result will be good so far. This will be in prei ortior to the quantity used up to a certain point. That is. one hundred bushels might do five times as much good as twenty bushels, but five hundred bush els might not de five times as much good as oue hundred, at once, but it would, in the end, because potash is not washed or leached out of the soil unless it is very abundant, and its effects would re main until all the potash would be ex hausted. Unleashed ashes contain ten per cent, of potash on the average. Leached contain from one to two per cent. About one and one-half per cent, of phosphoric acid exists in wood ashes. Ann chokes have been grown for swine several years at the Michigan Agricultural College. The methou of management has been to have a small patch of artichokes cohvenient to the swine pens, upon which the breeding sows were turned early in the spring, and allowed to harvest the roots tor themselves. The crop is thus grown with very little labor, since it requires no harvesting, the roots remaining in the ground all winter, and it furnishes succulent food for the sows just when it is most needed and most difficult to obt.ln from other sources. Professor Johuson, Farm Superintendent, is so well pleased with the results of this man agement that he is enlargirg the arti- cnoke plantation. It is safe to say that the market gar deners near our large cities realize gee:- tor profits from letince titan from any other vegetable. It is a very hardy plant, and when well under way with stands not only quite a low degree of cold, but also the heat. If the plants are partially protected by being set out on the sunny side of ridges, tuey pro gress much more rapidly in growtn tnan when not so carefully managed, nnd tbs qmoker they can be grown the better the quality. If the plants are set out in rows wide enough to admit the free nee of the hoe, and well manured, they will become solid, but when sown broad cast on rich beds they also furnish a large quantities of tender leaves. See that the bee-hives are clean, dry and tight, and that everything possible is done to make the bees winter success fully. Have plenty of food accessible to the bees. A dry, dark, frost-proof cellar or room,of a temperature between 85 and 45 degs. F., will form the best winter quarters for bees, and if such a place can be secured, the nearer it comes to the standard the better. If left out of doors a box roughly made should surround the hive, leaving on all sides a space of a foot to be packed with chaff or dry straw; a wooden tube may lead from the eutrauce of the hive to the outside of the box. li. comparison between Engiish and American rgrioultural statistics may not be uninteresting: England has this year under wheat 2,600,000 acres,Amer ica has over 39,000,000; 2,966,000 acres und«r oats, against about 80,900,000 in America; 2,300 COO under barley, which is about the acreage in this country. America has 64,0u0,000 acres under corn. England, of course, does not grow corn. Great Britain has bat about 6,000,000 head of cattle, against 30,- 000,600 m Amerioa;it has about 25,000,- 000 sheep and lambs against about 50,- 000,000 in America. Can any one estimate the loss annu ally entailed upon the dairymen of the country by keeping poor cows on scant pasture, stinted in water, or compelled to drink from stagnant pools, hounded to and from the milking yard, milked by brutal and rough hired men, tne milk manipulated in a room unsuited for the purpose by. women or girls without tbe slightest idea of the art of butter-making, and packed and sent to market in an almost unmaiketabls style? This is something that the most compe tent expert cannot detail in dollars and cents. Cold weather is approaching; tighten np the poultry houses so that the fowls will be as comfortable as possible dur ing the winter. Lay in a good store of ot oyster shells or burnt bone or bone dust, so that the hens may have aome good shell-producing food. Give the house a thorough wuite-washing. See that the perches are strong and firmly held up. Fix the nests; put in clean straw, and dust a little sulphur in Mum. The New York Herald says: “The feet and legs of horses require more care than the rest of the body. They must not be allowed to stand in filth and moiature, and in groom ing a horse the feet and legs must be as thoroughly brushed and Cleaned as a coat." The New England Farmer advises that it is a mistaKe to plant buggy peas - -that is, peas which nave been eaten by the pea weevil, although the state ment is often made that they will grow Juat as well. It is best to feed out the old stock and buy new and clean stock for spring planting. Dio up the bulbs ol gladioli, tuberos es, dahlias, etc., and store away—a cool dry room for the first: a warm place for the second, and a dry, frost-proof cellar for tne last. Rake up the leaves and put them on the strawberry bed. Do not let them blow around the place, but use them in the hot beds.for banking up tround the cellar walls or for bedding. Make cuttings of grape vines, and either plant in open ground in rich mel low soil, six inches apart and cover with leaves or some other protection or bury them in a dry place and then plant in the Spring, Potatoes and Apples.—Dry sand ponied into the filled barrels of apples and potatoes after storing in the cellar has been found to be a decided improve meut on all other plans for keeping them, they remaining till late spring aa “crisp and apparently as fresh as when gathered.” A ftkmeb in Herkimer county, N. Y. raises his best potatoes on a soil con sisting entirely of pure sand. He en riches with plenty of barnyard manure and plants six or eight inches deep. His crops are sore and excellent —men , DOMESTIC. Sauces.—People are inclined to good living, or rather to having well-cooked meals, and that is a mater nowadays to wh'oh many house-wivea are giving their attention, A little time each day is easily spared for that purpose, and the results are so palpable that there can be no regret for the time spent in perfecting matters for dainty living, Tbe women of the present, in studying this, will learn that brain and brawi are greatly influenced by delicate fare, aui the careful preparation of every meal. The making of sauces should meet with careful study. There are many sauces, aud a meat for every sauce, A sauce will improve the plainest dish, aud the most elaborate will be made more palatable. It is a study, indeed, to learn hew each sauce should be pre pared, aud what to serve it with, and the cock is a rara avis who does it per fectly. The French are perfect in mak ing sauces, and it would be well, if in clined to lesrn the art, to win the good will of some French cook. The French white sances are made with stroug white stock, well clarified, and always on hand and ready as a basis for any needed sauce. Tbe sances of the every day kitchen are usua'ly a pasty mass of flour and water, with flour uncocked, lumpy and unpalatable, usually desig nated as drawn butter sauce, with a flavoring of anchovy, parsley, caper or pickle. In makifig a drawn bntter sauce it is very important that the flour should be well cooked, fully fifteen minutes, with constant stirring, and strained before serving. Snow pudding,—Take a little more than the third of a package of Coxe’s eelatine ; pour a pint of cold water over it, and let it stand ten minutes ; add the juice of one lemon and one cap of white sugar (sweeten and flavor to taste): add a pint of boiling water ; stir and beat till worked up to a light froth, adding to it the well-beaten white of the ejgs that are used for the soft cus tard. Do not commence to beat the gelatine till nearly cold; when well frothed np, pnt it into a mold in a cold place. Have a nice soft costard to pour round it when taken from the mold. It is very nice, and a pretty des sert. A favorite way to cook potatoes now is to boil them in their jackets until they are tender and then dry them off m a hot oven. Sweet potatoes are ex cellent also cooked in this way. Of coarse care must be taken to remove the potatoes from the boiling water as soon as they are tender. There is no vegetable that gains more by being pre pared with due attention than the po tato, and the difference between a soggy, water-soaked one and one that Is prop erly cooked is greater than many wo men seem to know. Cream case.— Oue pint of sweet milk, two tablespoons of com starch beaten with a little of the milk, let it come to a boil, stir in slowly two well beaten egg* and a teacup of sugar, when nearly done add half a cup of butter, remove and flavor with vanilla, then make the cake. Take three eggs, one tup of sugar, one and one-half cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking pow der, two tablespoons of milk or cream, add a pinch of salt; bake in two deep jelly tins; split the cakes with a carving knife and spread the above cream be tween. To clean smoky walls.—Brush them over with a bruo n, then wash them over with a strong pearlash water and immediately rinse them with a clean water|before the pearlash is dry. When dry, give the walls a thin coat of freshly slacked lime, containing a liberal por tion of alum dissolved in hot water, finish with whiting and size. Be care ful not to apply the size-distemper ti 1 the lime-wash is dry, as the latter will destroy the strength of the size if the two come in contact while wet. Fruit cake.—Sour dned apples, mo lasses, sugar, butter, sour milk, soda and flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg. Soak oyer night one cap of dried sour apples, chop fine and simmer two hoars in a cup of molasses. Mix together one cup of sugar and one-third cup of but ter, half a cup of sour milk with a tea spoonful of soda in it One egg, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, gronnd cloves and a little nutmeg; two cups of flour. Do not add the apples and molasses till the last thing. . . Orange jelly.—One box of Coxe’s gelatine soaked one hour in one pint of tepid water, slice into two pounds of white sugar two oranges and two lem ons, let this stand also; theu add three pints of boiling water; mix all thoroughly, strain all through a jelly bag, pour into moulds and set away to cool. Excellent in sickness. One-half the recipe makes a sufficient quantity at a time. The Insipidity op boiled water. —It is often necessary to boil impure water in order to make it fit for drinking; when this is done it should subsequent ly be cooled, and then before drinking poured rapidly several times in succes sion from one pitcher to another both being held far apart, in order to en tangle as muoh air as possible with the water; this will restore its refreshing quality to a degree. A good way to extract the juice of beef for an invalid is to broil the beef on a gridiron for a few minutes and then squeeze tho juice from it with a lemon squeezer; put a little salt with it. This may be given as the sick one prefers, ccld or hot, or it may be frozen and given in small lumps. Tapioca pudding. —Three-fourths of a cup of tapioca, tliree pints of milk. Boil the tapioca with a portion of the milk and the yolks of four eggs, until soft; pour into a pan and add the whites of three eggs, with the rest of tbe milk, and two tableapoonfuls of sugar. If the carpet in a bed-room or com mon sitting-room looks dusty after it has been th< roughlv (wept, you can brighten it a g^od deal by taking a damp mop and dusting with it ; a flan nel mop is best for this purpjse. Mush made in this way is excellent: Boil a quart o' water. Stir a pint of cold milk with one pint of corn meal and one tablespooutul of salt. Pour this into the boiling water gradually and let it all boil for half an hour. Watch it carefully to prevent burning. —The world consumes 2,000,000 tons of tobacco a year. HUMOROUS.

A year or so ago my kidneys became weak and sluggish, owing to a severe strain, and finding relict in Hunt’s Remedy I con tinued its use until I had used four bottles, when I became well. Since my cure I have suggested its use to a great number of people, who I know have been benefited by using it. ” And to substantiate this statement, Mr. H. S.
