W- ' ; "AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Scurfy Fowls. Scutfy or scabby legs on fowls is a disease somewhat similar in character to mange in dogs and scab in sheep. It is due to the presence of a small mite only about one eight-hundredth of an inch in length. These mites live and breed in the spongy growth under the scales or scabs. The first thing to be done is to ? place the fowls in a dry room, where their feet and legs will be protected from mud and water. Then take equal parts - * i J 1 _ - -1 _ _ 1 1 V 01 Kerosene ana iaru, anu siir in euuutju flowers of sulphur to make a thick ointment. "With a small and soft paint brush apply the ointment to the legs and feet of the a'Hicted fowls, and repeat the application daiiv until the scabs disappear. A half do-.en applications will usually be sufficient to effect a cure. Caged birds are often afflicted with the same disease, especially when kept in large cumbers and their cages are not regularly and thoroughly cleaned.?New York Sun. Straw and Oats for Idle Horses. Village horses are exercised almost every day in the year, while fanners' horses stand in the stable idle nearly half the time, their mangers and thems.-lves continually stuffed with hay, and the i grain ration perhaps not much reduced. I The result is they become "fat and j fnnnrloro/l " TTnrcne rtr.t trrtrlrin/* oViaiiI/?

Standing on the floor continually is enough to stiffen the limbs of any ani. mal. More exercise and less stuffing are required. Bright straw and two quarts of oats night and morning, with a few hour's run in the yard every day, will carry a horse that is not working, j through the winter very nicely, as 11 know from experience. A comparison of i expenses in hay-feeding and straw and oats reveals interesting figures. Say a horse consumes 2 tons of hay in twenty weeks, that would be $20; then 4 quarts of oats a day at 35 cents a bushel, is about $3; add 2 tons of straw &t $5 a ton, the feed would amount to $15, a difference of 25 per cent in favor of the oats and straw; but straw is generally regarded as worthless except for manure.?New York Tribune. Cabba<re Plants. When it is desired to start cabbages for very early plants dig eighteen inches | deep on well drained soil, prepare fresh heating horse manure by turning over once or twice to get out the rank heat. Lay this in evenly, long and short together, so there are no lumps in it, and | a about fourteen inchcs deep. Put a i frame of boards about the bed, ten inches i high in front and sixteen inches at the ; back, upon which to place the sash. The ! pit should he six feet wide and the sa3h three feet three inches ty six feet. Place six inches of fine rich compost soil directly on the manure, sow the seed therein in drills three inches wide and pretty thickly in the rows. When the plants are ready to transplant, prick them out in a cold frame (a bed protected with Bides afid ends and covered with cotton cloth). Prick out the plants three inches apart each way, and transplant into the i open air, just before corn planting time, i The b^d, when the seed is sown, must be watered from time to time with a fine rose watering pot, and preferably with water which has had the chill taken off. Ventilate so the heat is not too strong. When pricked out in the cold frame, water well, and if there is plenty of rain the plants will need but little attention i under the cloth, and little or no ventila- j tion will be required.?New York Herald. \ Hints on Corn Planting. In corn-planting time the farmer is worried by many pests. Crows andj blackbirds null un tho snrmif.ini* coor? i and if this is truly done in pursuit of | nefarious cutworms and pestilent grubs i the damage is in no way mollitied or l*siened. Squirrels and chipmunks dig up the seed and cutworms sever the tender ; sprouts. It is useless and unreasonable , to complain when simple and effective j precautions are ignored and neglected, i t-eed stirred in just sufficient hot water in which a tablespoon of tar has been : mixed by agitation to coat each grain with a Aim of the tar will not be attacked by crows, or cutworms, or squirrels. We ! have steeped the seed in a solution of saltpetre in hot water, with the result of hastening the germination by two days, !; and thus lessening the danger of mis- j: chief by these pests, and by adding a ; few drops of carbolic acid to the quart, ol solution the odor of the seed becomes1 too offensive for all the com- j j mon pests combined. The custom Of planting corn in the South, j > eingly in the rows, and the rows three ! feet apart, undoubtedly decreases the, yield. The average yield of this crop in the South is less than half of that of th:1 New England States, and 15 or i!0 bushels of grain per acre is considered a very good crop. By growing three ears where one is now grown it is prob- 1 able that the yield would be increased ; in proportion, and thus the prevailing method in the Southern ^ti te< of dropping three seeds at every ihree feet in the rows might be adopted by the South- j ern farmers with advantage. While it is not always safe to counsel chances in i the common practice, yet the writer, i %fter four years' actual experience in1 Farming in the South, has proved satis-! factonly by his own s cccss in trebling ; the ordinary yield of the crops that im-! prfcvement in methods is quite possible. ! Better plowing, more thorough harrowteg, thicker planting, more liberal ma-' nuring, cleaner and mot e frequent and longer-continued cultivation, and the entire freedom from weeds would so! much increase the yield of crops in the ! South as to enrich the farmers in a few years.?New Yvrk Times. Culture of Beans. L There are two or thiea counties in ; Western New York where beans are grown to an enormous extent and the farmers have become rich by their sale. 1 There seems to be no special reason why i j this crop should have "been adopted in | < this section. "We have millions of acres of similar soil and climate where beans ai* seldom jrrown. if leguminous crops get their nitrogen from the atmosphere, the farms where beans are grown so largely and the vines fed out to sheep | o^ht to be very rich. We do not learn that such is the case. In fact, it is i claimed by some that beans prove to be an exhausting crop, and that the old ^ bean growers are not making as much money as formerly. I Beans are at the present time brought; [ from Europe in bags right into the heart of the bean-growing section of Western New York, where they are put in barrels k and shipped as "New Vork State beans." ' [ From tnis it is evident that our bean growers have an established reputation wtich the dealers are not slow to utilize. It also indicates that beans can be ^ grown in other places. We have known El many farmers undertake to raise beans for the first time who made a failure of it. They generaly plant when beans are high, and anticipating large profits put in twice as many acres as they are able to take care of. Beans must be kept clean. But too much hoeing and cultivating does not suit them. In other words, we need clean land to start with, or we must plant on sod turned over with a "jointer" plow immediately before planting. On such land the beans get a good growth before the weeds start, and but little hoeing and cultivating are necessary. The bean-planter commonly used in "Western New York is drawn by one horse. It makes two rows at a time, twentv-nine inches apart, and drops five or six beans in the hills about fifteen or eighteeen inches apart. The machine covers the beans, and the whcle work is done at one operation. If there are hard clay spots which the machine does not cover completely, the work must be done with a hoe,putting two inches of fine soil on the beans. Instead of using a beanplanter many good farmers put in the beans with an ordinary grain drill, sowing three rows at a time, twenty-eight inches apart, and dropping two inches apart in the rows. They claim a larger yield, but it is, possibly, a little more work to keep them clean, and certainly more work to pull them than when plauted in hills. ^ ? a 1.-1.1 _ Dcaus are :i prumsma trjp, ?uu m seems a pity that we should ever have to import them from Europe. But let us again urge any of our readers who may plaut them for the first time to select rood clean land, plow carefully, and harrow and roll till the surface is as mel- ! low as a garden. The advantage of thorough harrowing is not always appreciated. Cultivate between the rows frequently, but not too deep, with a fine-toothed ste;'l horse hoe that will kill every weed and leave the surface smooth and fine. Many of our corn cultivators are too coarsc and leave the land too rough, so that it dries out in hot weather, and growth of the beans is checked. The rule in regard to planting is to put in the beans as soon as possible after corn is planted. ?American Agriculturist. Farm and Garden Notes. The chubby sow is always a pool breeder. Prune auy time the weather is fit and keep the knife sharp. There is now a market for quills plucked from the turkey. Low wagons with wide tires make easier work in hauling out manure. The only way to learn farming or any other trade is to serve an apprenticeship to it. For fertilizing purposes there is no more valuable form of potash than wood ashes. A farmer says that you can feed a hog so long on corn that you will starve it to death. Now give the best of care to the sheep if you expect to sell the lambs at a profit. An acre of corn-fodder well manured will furnish ensilage enough to keep two cows a year. Sprigs of cedar distributed throughout the nests of fowls will effectually clear them of vermin. Be sure and plant good seed potatoes even if the seed be costly. But do not plant too many acres. Good roads are the most obvious marks of advanced civilization, and are essential to general prosperity. An hour or to of contact with parching air will kill young trees left lying exposed to it by careless planters. The farmer who gets the most eggs: The one who gets up earliest and secures to his Hock a good warm breakfast by daylight. Gather the droppings around undei the roosts every two or three days if you would have your poultry free from the scourge of scaly legs. In very hot summers, quince bushes, grapevines, and many other plants given to root very superficially are destoyed or greatly weakened by having their shallow feediug-roots parched up in the surface earth. Tomatoes trained to stakes give the sweat est iruit ana remain in nearing longest, though many cultivators, who grow for size and quantity, believe they have the best results when growing them on the level ground. A recent trial proved that a ferret kept in a cage in a barn or other building will drive rats away. The scent from the ferret is what does it. It is claimed that rats are 60 fearful of it that they will even abandon their nests of young. Vegetables and fruits, as much as the grain crops, require deep working of the soil. A moderately heavy soil that ha9 been undcrdraincd and subsoiled, and then carefully worked, is capable of producing the heaviest crops. "Whatever is done in the small fruit line, it is a safe and wise rule to put out do more plants than can be properly cared for. It does not pay to prepare land, buy plants, set them, and leave th m to be choked with weeds. . For growing cucumbers, squashes or other similar plants, put old sawdust or rotten wood about, them. Those who have never tied cucumbers on strong, bushy stakes, like pea sticks, will be surprised to note how they enjoy it. Many people can safely drink sour milk, while their stomachs are too weak, to digest that which is still sweet. This is true of animals. The calf put upon a diet of slightly soured milk may scour, but it is usually not from the sourness of the milk, but from its lower temperature. A pailful or half full of cold, sout milk chills the digestive organs, and diarrhucais the only way in which the stomach can dispose of its incubus. Many farmers claim that if a large po tato with all the eyes cut out but one be planted a larger per cent, of early marketable potatoes will be produced than if the seed were cut or small potatoes planted whole. A study of this subject was made at the Wisconsin agricultural experiment station last season "with four varieties, the result in each ca?e being in favor of the large prepared seed. Experiments at this station also showed that results are best when fresh cut seed is used. The tte*t Celery in the World. "Where is the best celery raised?" remarked a Washington Market man the other day to a New York Mail and Express reporter. "In Kalrmazoo. It is not yet certain why it is so, but it has been definitely determined by experience that no celery is raised that is as good a3 the celery of Kalamazoo. It brings a better price in the market than othei celery, and moreover a vast quautity of it is raised there. Over 3000 acres of swamp land are said to have been 'reclaimed' and devoted to the culture of this toothsome esculent alone. The business is a lucrative one, and numerous Kalamazooans have grown rich at it. It is in fact the leadiDg industry ol the place, according to the statements of the Western raDera." HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. Old Books Made New. Why should the housewife sit scowling trrer those old books, as the covers, at least, can be made to look "e'en as good lis new" by applying with a brush a coat of chromo varnish, which is made by dissolving one ounce of gum mastic in threequarters of a pint of turpentine. For books whose covers are too dilapidated to renew take two pieces of black ribbon and cover the backs, first placing on a layer of waddiug. Fasten the back and sides together with some fancy stitch in embroidery silk of a contrasting color. Line the inside of the covers with tinted silk, nnd on the centre of the outs'de front, paint or transfer some neat design. A gold or silver cord neatly sewed around the edge is a great improvement. I almost transformed a volume nearly 200 years old with a few bits of ribbon and transfer picture.?Detroit Free Press. Seasonable Salads. The best vegetables from which to make salads at this season of the year are asparagus, lettuce, turnips, dandelion, spinach, kale, chicory, watercress and potatoes, all of which should be crisped and freshened in cool water, carefully shaken dry and shredded with the fingers instead of being cut or chopped with a knife. Many housekeepers have an idea that salads are troublesome and expensive, and are therefore deterred from preparing them. This is a mistake, for nothing is simpler if a few details are attended to. In this country a Mavonaise dressing is frequently served with vegetables wnen usea as saiaas, out ioreigners prefer a simple French dressing of pepper, salt, oil and vinegar, and it is decidedly better for dinner where meat or rich food is partaken of. The French, who arc accomplished in the art of making good salads, use garlic as a flavoring instead of onion, but very sparingly. Tarragona vinegar gives lettuce and other spring salads a delicious flavor. Nasturtium blossoms also have a piquant flavor, besides making a beautiful garnish for vegetable salads. Either of the following dressings may be used for vegetable saads: French Salad Dressing?Mix thoroughly three tablespoons of olive oil, a mustard spoonful of salt, a pinch of pepper, and five or six drops uf lemon inice. add two tab'esnoonfuls of vinesrar. beat a minute and pour over the salad. .Mayonnaise Dressing?Put the raw yolks of two eggs in a cold bowl, beat well, add a teaspoonful salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper and half a teaspoonful of mustard; work well together and add drop by drop a half-pint of olive oil. Stir rapidly and Eteadily while adding the oil, and care must be taken not to reverse the motion, or the dressing may curdle. Then add a few drops of lemou juice to the mixture, and thin to the proper consistency with vinegar. If kept in a cool place thi3 dressing will keep a week.?Cou-ier-Joumai. Recipes. Pried Egg Plant.

Beat the whites of the eggs to a siff froth, spread over the pie after it is baked, and brown in the oven. Potatoes Stewed av Gratin. Cut boiled potatoes, while still warm, in neat small-sized picces; cover them with hot milk, and add salt, white pepper, and a little butter for seasoning. Simmer in the milk ten minutes, then fill au gratin tins with the stewed potatoes',add a top layer of grated crumbs, and bake a delicate brown. Some like a little grated ciieese mixta wnn me oreaa crumbs. They are served at dinner as well as breakfast cooked in this manner. strawberry charlotte. make a custard of the yolks of six eggs, one quart of sweet milk, sugar, and tlavor to suit the taste, Boil and set aside to cool.

Beat the white of the eggs with with a tablespoonful of sugar?to a stiir froth?and heap high over the top of the custard. This is delicious. Sweetbreads wttii Tomato Sauce. ?Select two good-sized veal sweetbreads Parboil them and throw them into cold water. Let them remain ten minutes, then remove ttie skin ana all tough membrane. Dip in beaten egg, then in cracked flour seasoned with pepper and salt. Put in a frying pan a tablespoonful of sweet butter. When it is hot and brewn, but not burned, place the sweetbreads in the pan. Let them brown quickly on both sides. Put in the pan a few spoonfuls of bouillon, cover closely, and let steam on the back of range until tender. Boil half a can of tomatoes fifteen minutes. Add a cupful of water, and thicken with butter and Hour mixed. Strain through a fine strainer, season to taste, and, when sweetbreads are ready to serve, pour the sauce over them. Tomato Socp. ? Always use cold water in making all soups; skim well, esneciallv dnrintr the first hour. There is a great necessity for thorough skimming, and to help the scum rise, pour in a little co!d water now and then, and as the soup reaches the boiling point, skim it off. Use salt at first sparingly, and season with salt and pepper; allow one quart of soup to three or four persons. For tomato 6oup allo"^ one gallon of stock made from nice fresh beef to three quarts of fresh tomatoes; remove the skin and cut out the hard center, put through a fine sieve, and add to the stock: make a paste of butter and flour, and. when the stock begins to boil, stir in half a teacup of the paste, taking care not to have it lumpy; boil twenty minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Two quarts of the canned tomatoes will answer. Lovo Song of the Prairio Lark. As the full Springt:me comes on the number of these 6hort chants is greatly increasod, while their prolongations and variations are without number, and soon it becomes evident to the most casual observer that the love fires arc kinddling and that each musician is striving to the utmost of his powers to surpass all rivals and win the lady lark of his choice. On one occasion, as I lay in hiding near a fence, three larks came skimming over the plain; they alighted within a few yards of me and two of them burst into song, sometimes singing together and sometimes alternately, but the third was silent. When at last they flew up I noticed that the silent one and one of the singers kept together. I had been witness to a musical tournament, and the victor had won his bride.?American Magazine r ..
