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

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/?

not be fed all the hay they will consume. {
They should be exercised a few hours '
nearly every day, and if in no other way
they should be turned loose in the barnyard.
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 _

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. After peeling
the egg p'ant cut in slices one-half inch
thick, pepper and salt them, and lay
one slice upon the other, leaving them
ctnnrl ton nr twph'p hours. Drain off
tho liquor, dip in flour and fry brown.
Cream Pie. Take one pint of milk,
one heaping tablespoonful of flour, three
tablespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful
of butter, two eggs and flavor to
taste. Bake with one crust, the same as
a custard pie. 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.
Fill a glass dish with alternate layers of
berries and sponge cake dipped in cream;
sweeten the layers of berries as they are
put in the dish. When the custard is
cool, pour over the whole. 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
