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

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.

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. Clark, a sistaut superintendent of the
High School, says: “I can certify to the
value of Hunt’s Remedy, having received
great benefit from its use. My troubles com
menced twelve years ago, when my kidneys

medicine arrested the disease. I can now
cheerfully recommend it to all suffering as I
was.” May 31, 1883.

How he got oyer the difficulty :
A country priest who had learned one
of hia sermons by heart was inyited to
preach in a neighboring village. The
following day being a church fete, he
was begged so hard to remain that he
could not refuse.
However it was necessary to preach,
and he had no other sermon with him.
What did he do ?
He said: “My brethren, there are a
great many wicked people in this par
ish ; some of them have even said
there were heresies in the sermon I
preached to yon yesterday. Nothing
could be more false; and to prove it I
am going to deliver my sermon to you
again from one end to the other I”
And he repeated it from beginning to
end.

The Want of a Reliable Diuretic
Which, while actii g as a stiu.ulant oltne kidneys,
neither excites nor irritates them, was long since
supplied by Hostetler’s Momach Billers. Thigflne
medicine exerts the requisite degree of stimula
tion upon these organs, without producing irrita
tion, and is, theref-ire, far better adapted for the
purpose than unmedioa'ed excitants often resorted
to. Wnen we consider that the kidneys and blad
der share in Imp »rtance with the bowels, as the
sluices or outlets for the refuse matter of the sys
tem, the necessity of sustaining their activity be
comes apparent. The k'dneys act as purifiers of
the blood, and when their functions are interfered
with through weakness i hev need toning. They
