The buyers know the breads, the kind of wool peculiar to each breed, and all about them, for it is ‘•business.” A farmer would sneer at a carpenter who professed to be a carpenter and yet who oould not do a piece of work in that line; and yet we venture to say there are hundreds of farmers who profess to be farmers, and who would be insulted if their knowledge of their business was questioned, but who, at the same tima, cannot tell as much about the products of the farm as many of those who know nothing of farm life. There are hun dreds of farmers who are not able to distinguish breeds if sheep,and who do not know the particular purposes for whleh a breed is most suitable, and still they pnde themselves on their calling as a business which they intend to make profitable. If such farmers oould but be brought to a realization of the fact that they are really deficient in knowl edge, it would be to their interest to do so. Every year we witness the ship ment of the products of the farm to market where the buyer fixes the grade although he has had no experience on the farm. Farmers, as a class, are not business-like, for they rely too much upon the judgment of others. It is not tntended to imply that they should not seek the advice of others, but when the farmer surrenders everything to hard work, we insist that he should begin to edneate himself in every possible way in order to improve his chances. How to Fertilize Fecit Teeeb.— Here and there on all farms and lu most fruit gardens will be seeu an otcjsionaf tree or grape-vine, which teems to lack vigor—does not grow well, ana yet seems to have no particular dueuae The piobabilities are that the tree is dying of starvation and needs a liberal supply of food. When you give .t tins ration, do not pile a load of manure around the trunk of the tree or the body of a grape-vine. Tula is just the place wheue it will do the least good. Nearest the trunk of the tree, the roots are ail large. The fibrous roots—tlie feeders, are furtl er off near the ends o; the root*. Tueso only can take up the nutriment. It is always safe to assume that the roots extend as lar Hum the trunk in every direction aa do the limbs of the tree, and to proper y fertilize, spread the manure all over the area. Then fork it in and you have done a good work and done it well. If some disease has begun its work on the tree, you will put the tree in a healthy, vig orous condition, the Letter enabling it to suocessfullv contend against its ene mies. We have seen numerous old pear and apple trees, bearing poor and gnarled fruit, which the owners consid- ot no value, but which such treatment as we have outlined above would restore to their original uselulness. Overladen Fecit 1bee» —It Isarule in fruit culture mat a ties snould not carry any greater weight of fruit than its branches can sustain, bull, with some rapidly swelling fruits, peaches and plums especially, however thor oughly thinning may ha\e be d ne,it g Often found aa the Unit ripcua time tn«. weight is too great and the branches unless they are supported, will break down with the load of Iruit. The usual method of supporting over-laden iruit trees is to.place long stakes, with a loik at the top, beseith them. A much bet ter and more simple method of tffectiug the purpose is suggested by Dr. J. H. Mease, ot Lebanon, Pa. , Instead ot using several stakes, one to each prin cipal branch, he places a single strong pole agaiust the trunk of the tree. The lower end of the pole, if unshed, may be sunk a lew inches m the soil lor ad ditional support, but usually it will be sufficient to secure it to the trunk by means of straw bands or otuer ties that will not biuise the balk. Tim pole be ing secuitd, the drooping blanches ere lahtved by means of ties maue fast to it. Dr. MiKse states that this xnetbo t of tying up ihe branches ot overloaded trees is especially useful in storms, the being more central, and more natural than where several props are used. It ia usuauy quite as well to have cows calve in the fall,particularly where milk and butter are more important than the call. With eusiiage teediug,winter will prove the best time for butter-mak ing, and the silo system will probably be so slow in coming into general use that the price of butter may be high for many years to oome. The worst season of all to have a cow calve is in late spring or early summer. The first flow of milk then comes at a time when it is least valuable, and costs more labor and trouble to make into butter. Fxediko Hat.—It is unquestionably tiue that a full feed of hay to horse.-,fol io wing the feedirg of concentrated food, is wasteful, tor the reason tbut it crowds the first ont of the stomach be fore proper digestion has been accom plished. And so, in order tote jure the best results, hay should be fed at first and the concentrated food alterward, which leaves it to become digested with no danger of being ciowded away or out of the pertormauoe of its desired purpose. The hog is very sensitive to cold, an 1 should be well sheltered when the sea son becomes severe. He will try to keep warm by burrowing into his utter, and when hogs are in large numbers they will crowd together or upoa eaou other for the same purpose. Tnis is in jurious, as it is opposed to a supply oi pure air. The same journal also remark* that potatoes should always be cook- a when fed to bogs. If you are overruu with your city c-jusios and aunts, who so delight iu country life, you know, and regret that they have no larms to run (or amuse ment and pastime, just take them to the fields and kitchen and put them to work. Jt will shorten up their visiting time wonderfully.. The promise of sorghum as • sugar- producing plant is good. Before many years improvement will increase the per centage of sugar, and no doubt we will be enabled to produce ail we need wiin cut buying foreign sugar. Ihe fruit growers have been very liberal with each other this season, as ad the new varieties of strawberries lave found friends, each grower admit- tiug the excellence ef those introduced by hi* competitors. DOMESTIC. Kedgeree.—For kedgeree I require equal quantities of fish and boiled noe. For half apeund of each take two hard- boiled eggs, oue gram of Cayenne pep per, one tablespoonful of ourry powder, one-half tablespoon ful of cream, two ounce* of butter and a little pepper and salt; first remove all the skin and bone from the fish; put it in a saucepan with the butter, boiled rice, the whites of the hard-boiled eggs chopped into rough pieces, the cream, curry powder, cayenne and a little pepper and salt; toss this over the fire until it gets yery hot; take it out and pile very high on a hot dish, and smooth it nicely with s knife, and over the top rub the yolks through a sieve; garnish with s little fresh parsley. I Drown or quay pudding. —Two eggs, their weight in flour and butter, the weight of one in sugar ; beat the but ter to a cream with the sugar; add the eggs well beaten, stir in the flour, then stir in two tablespoonfuls of raspberry jam or jelly. Just before putting the puddiag into the mold beat half a tea- spoonful of carbonate of soda; boil or steam for an hour and three-quarters ; leave plenty of room for the pudding to rise in the mold; serve with wine or sweet sauce. If preferred, put two tablespooufuls of nice treacle or golden syrup, with half a teaspoonful of ground ginger, instead of the raspberry jam. Dropped soonks.—To make dropped scones take one-half pound of flour, one-half ounce of sugar, a pinch of salt, one-half teaspoonful of carbonate of so da, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar *nd one-balf pint of milk. Mix the fljur, sugar and salt in a bowl and then mix in the soda and cream of tartar, having first made them very smooth on a plate with a spoon ; add half a pint of milk, and mix well together. Grease hotKiiudle with a piece of suet done up iu a piece of paper, aud drop on a spoonful of the mixture. Turn when bjowu on one side. Butter quickly and serve very hot. Lobster fricasseed.—Parboil two moderate sized lobsters. Take out the meat from the claws aud tail, and cut in pieces halt au inch square; put the meat in a saucepan witn one inch of chicken broth, half a cup of cream, oue tablespoonful of butter, popper and salt to taste; cover the pan aud stew gently half an hour; remove from the fire aud stir m quickly the juice of half a lemon. Serve very hot, with crackers delicately toasted and buttered. Devonshire junket.—Warm a quart of new milk, it must be rather more than luke warm. Dissolve iu it four or five lumps of sugar, and turn it out in to a glass bowl. Stir in about three tabiespoonfuls of rennet, tasting it dur ing the time, as it must ou no account have any flavor of salt, which too much rennet would give ; add a little grated nutmeg. Leave it in a cool place to *et, and before serving the curd coyer it all over with clotted cream, adding a slight grating of nutmeg at the top. D£VON»aiRE clotted crkam.—Re cipe us gii n by a Cornish woman. Take very rlo i milk and let it stand twelve Lours in a shallow pan. With out disturoing it place on a slow fire, being sure not tj let the milk boil; the oreum then thickens and must not be stirred, but when the form of the bot tom ot the pan ia seen in firm cream on the top, the pan must be taken off the fire and left to ocol for a day if pos sible. A pretty dish—From cold sweet potatoes is made by turning a pint oi hem sliced into a stew pan with a tea- spcoulul of lemon juice, cayenne, nut meg, salt, pepper aud a drop of vine gar ; pour over a gill of cream, cover the sauce-pan closely, and shake over the fire for ten minutes ; place the po tatoes on a hot dish, being careful not to break the slices; these form a pret'y garnish to peached eggs, If cream be not handy a little milk, thiok- eueu by arrowroot aud butter, may be substituted. Ego au plat.—To prepare egg au plat you require for each egg two table spooufuls of bread crumbs, one ounce of butter and a little pepper and salt. First put a layer of bread crumbs on a fi it dish, sprinkle over it a little pep per and salt, add half the butter and drop on the eggs. Cover them with more bread crumbs, a little pepper and salt and the rest of the butter, and put iu a quick oven for three minuter. The fruit put up in tin cans should be taken out when the can is opened for use, If allowed to remain after the can is opened the action of acid juices upou the tiu when exposed to the air may form acetate of tin, which is pois onous. Four the fruit out into glass or earthenware dishes, and the danger of poisoning ia avoided, \\ bite muffins —Delicate whits mnf- fius are maae of one cap of sweet milk, the well-beaten whites of two eggs, two and a half cups of flour, one heaping teaspoon of baking powder, a piece of butter the size of au egg. Bake in a quick oven. HUMOROUS. All pork should be twice cooked, or at least so loag as to make its whole someness sure. A dish of tenderloins may be cut in thin slices; stew them in water till they are nearly done; then put a little dripping ih a sauce pan, and fry them till light brown: cerve them with mashed potatoes and raw tomatoes sliced thin. ‘•Dripping” in pastry.—In using beef or mutton dripping for pastry, an excellent p an is to beat it to a cream, with a teaspoonful of baking powder and a squeeze of lemon ; this takes sway any suspicion of taste in pastry, aud makes it light and crisp. “Say—say, Blobson,” whispered Pop injay, nndging his neighbor at the op era house the other night. “See that young man, five rows ahead there, with the sealskin collar and checked ulster ? He’s a real nobleman, sir—fact oome down from Montreal. He’s baron o— of—” Just then the yonng man turned his placid asinine face and great vacant eyeglass in the direction of the two wor thy burghers. “Yes, yes—I understand what you mean,” assented Blobson. “He’s baron of intellect.” The Hon. Bllla Flint. L'fe Senator of the Dominion Parliament, Belleville, Ontario, Canada, writes: “1 tried St. Jacob’s Oil for ague tn my face ind toothache. It acted like a charm. A few times nibbing with it took away all lorenesa and pam; far better than having them drawn at the age of seventy-seven. ” It feels funny,” said Benedict to a friend the other day; “it feels funny to have a woman’s arm in yonrs when yon haven’t been used to anything of the kind for a long time. I saw a yonng lady relative to the cars last evening, and when she put her arm ia mine the sweet recollections of by-gone days were all revived." “Ain’t used to having a woman’s arm In yours, then” said the friend. “Bless you, no,” replied Benedict; “I never walk out with any woman ex cept my wife.” Hince last October I have suffered from scute inflammation in my nose and head— often In the night having to get up and in hale salt and water lor relief.

The gun is evidently built' after the Longndgc type, aud at various times descriptions have been given of it. The preliminary tests have shown that the resisting strength of the gun metal is more largely luereased by this device than it would be by an equal weight of similar metal cast with the tube itself.

It states that if 10 per cent, of bnrned magnesia, or even of baryta or strontia, is mixed cold with ordinary liuseed-oil paint, and then enough of mineral oil to develop the alkaline eartn, the free acid of the paint will be neutralized, while the iron will be protected by the permanent al kaline action of the paint. Iron to be buried in the earth may be painted with a mixture of ilK) parts of resin, 25 parts of gutta peroha.aud 50 parts of paraffine to which 20 parts ot magnesia aud some mineral oil have been added. A tkasp jonful of borax, pat in the last water in which clothes are rinsed, will remove the yellow tint, time gives to garments that have been lain away two or three years.
