T AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Packing Batter for the Store. In nine cases out of ten it has been observed that a neatly done-lip roll of butter will seil better and more readily than an iuferior article presented in an untidy condition, bays "W. H. Lynch i.. r> .u ?> A xu uio ljlkuiiiiv xjotiij i. lavstiiv. ** farmer living a few miles out of the town in which these lines are penned determined to deliver his butter to the local trader on a certain day cach week, and in an improved shape. He constructed a plain box with shallow wooden trays, just large enough to lit it and fill it, one above the other, and yet leaving room enough between the layers to obviate pressure. The trays were pla'.n boxes not divided into compartments, and each was large enough to contain a certain number of equally sized rolls lying side by side. A loose covar was made to tit over the box when full. The result of this little calculation and expenditure of a few hours labor was that the farmer got two cents per pound more for butter than any of his neighbors, and not only so, but the demand for his butter became so great ihat he conld not supply it. In no respect was the quality better than that of others, but the tidy package did the " business* for him. Feeding Cows. A hearty cow, fresh in milk, observes j the New Etig'.aiul. Farmer, and eating i dry food, will frequently drink five or i more ordinary pailfuls of water in a day. If this be taken into the system near the freezing point it must be warmed by the heat of the body, which heat costs the farmer money, just as the heat from the wood or coal we burn in our stoves costs money. It was long ago discovered that heat saved by tight walls and roofs is cheaper than the heat produced from hay and grain. It is now being learned that wood, coal and kerosene oil is a cheaper fuel for warming water for animals than hay and grain. One feeder estimates that during the present winter five cents' worth of fuel u-ed for warming the drinking water for his cows has returned him -$1.50 worth of butter. Is it be9tto feed cows all the corn m^al and wheat bran they will bear? was one of the many questions found in the question box at the Connecticut S'ate board meetingMr. Secreiary Cold replied, yes. up to the poiut where th? cow might be injured or the food wasted. He once tried to dry off a cow by increasing her allowance of corn meal, but found that particular cow was a milk machine, rather than a beef produ er, and the more meal she ate the more milk she gave. Animals can never be fed by set rules, except such rules as the intelligent, watchful attendant makes for each animal from day to day. Hints to Beginners in Soiling. A system of partial soiling, by which one-half of the usual amount of pasture : is dispensed with, can be practiced without greatly interfering with the ordinary crops of the farm, and with little cost in labor, say? a writer in the Country Gentleman. A limited pasture, fcnrmlpmpnfprl "writVi a fpir onroo aF a!aitoi? and peas and oats, and then plenty of after-feed and corn-fodder, will secure a very uniform flow of milk through the season, and an amount far beyond what .could have been realized from the dry feed of the large pasture. It is not good economy to confine dairy cows to pasture alone, as additional acres afford no adequate return in milk, and ripened grass in pastures is unsightly and tends to promote the growth of weeds and thistles. Where a perfect system of soiling is adopted it may be best to sow winter rye and orchard grass for early use, and millet for variety later in the season;! ' but when half the usual amount of j pasture is provided, these will not be found necessary. After having tried j them all, I have discontinued their use and rely on the regular crop? of clover, peas and oats, and corn for the extra feed required. It usually takes one man ~..l- J J iL - > uuui t?u uum in gut auu uraw me leeu 1 for 25 cows, once a day, which is all i that is required in connection with half- i pasture. This is not costly, and does ' not greatly interfere with regular farm ( work, and proves a great help in making every acre of the farmjiseful. Farm Fence*. Barb wire for farm-fencing ha3 become ft necessity, and has generally been accepted throughout the West. Its cheapness as compared with boards or other materials, has enabled the farmer i to fence in his land and generally to cross-fence the fields as well. A barb wire fence requires less than one-half , the number of posts required for a bo^rd fence, less than half the labor to build, j while a wagon-load of wire will fence a large farm. Hre does not easily destroy it, and if the posts are peeled an ordinary prairie-lire will not harm them. 1 A well-built barb wire fence is esti-' mated to last thirty years. Post should be well set, properly braced at all open Ing9, and the wire "well stretched." A wire made from two strands, twisted evenly, is best, as it yields more readily j to climatic iniiueoces without breaking or tearing loose from the staples. I Barb wire used to sell at from 10 to 12^ . cents per pound, but competition and improved machinery have reduced the price so that now it is nearly as low as the plain wire. Instead of using three i wires for a fence, the be?t farmers put on i five. Such a fence animals will respect, and it is a complete barrier to any kind of animal. Sharp competition has stimulated the gale of cheaply made barb wire, ( heap paints or poor galvanizing. This will always be the ca^e where the margin of profit is very narrow. It pays to use known brands, made by responsible makers, as a difference of half a cent per pound will not make up for rotten or poorly made wire. The best wire-makers are shortening : the barbs or thorns, to make them less severe, or adopting a yielding style of 1 u V,; ~l.

We th ink this a jjreat improvement, for a fence of any kind is but an educator, and there certainly is no economy in lacerating and tearing your stock. Select barb wire as you wouid an ax, with care, and get the best without regard to its cost.?Iowa Uoms~ ' ileal. The Harness an<!l Saddle. A. B. Alden gives this advice in the American Ayriculturi t: Keep the harness well oiled and supple, and when either that or the saddle is put on the horse, see that it fits nicely, and does not chafe any part of the body or limb'. In winter be careful to warm the bridle bit before usiDg it, ' otherwise it might be frosty enough to <teeze to the inside of the mouth, and ?tick long enough to blister it and the tongue badly. .Never permit a check rein on the harness bridle to be hooked uptight, as drivers will persist in doing; it gives the horse great pain, especially when standing, as all may observe from 1 seeing him constantly tossing his head ' up and down, and one side to the other, seeking relief from the cruel torment. In addition to this, it soon makes a hard mouth,and whenjmoving alonsr.and especially while ascending a hill, the horse ( cannot stretch out his head and neck I as is necessary for him in order to use j his full strength to more easily move the load to which he is attached. The use ! of the blinders is a pernicious custom, j If a horse is broken to harness as he should be without them, there never | will be any necessity of wearing them, j They are injurious to the eye* and the | vision, and it is as absurd to use them in harness as it would be under the s.iddle. The horse is much more liable to shy, jump, rear, and even run, with blinders, than without them. Having had horses with all these tricks in my possession, I changed the bridle for one without blinders, and they soon ccased their capers; for they could then fully see all obje -ts on both sides in gradually approaching them, as well a9 in front, and thus were not troubled or scared. The i best harness-broken horses I found in j ray travels abroad were in Russ;a, and thev wore no blinders. I never saw even j those of the highest spirit either shy, i jump, rear, or attempt to run. Ia driving out, teach the horse to stop instant- 1 ly at the word "whoa," especially in des. ending a hill. Disposing of Bones. Ail farmers have at length become ac- j quaiuted with the great value of bone3 ! lor fertilizing purposes. They know that they contain a large amount of I phosphorus, which is needed for all the j higher orders of the plants used as food J lor man. They also know that they con- j tain lime and substances that produce ammonia. They think it is necessary to break bones very fine, or to dissolve them in an acid before they can be much value as fertilizers. It is certainly ad- i visable to treat them in one of these ways if immediate results are expected | of them. If one is conducting farming or gardening operations on land leased i for a limited period, he would not apply bones to it unless they were first reduced by grinding or treated with acid. He is looking for immediate results, and ; knows that they can not be obtained from bones that are entire, especially if | they have become dried. Such bones will remain in the soil a long time and i show scarcely any more changes than I stones. Bones possess the greatest value at the time they are taken from an animal /-?i? fn-nrl TIipv then onnr.ii.in ft lftrffi AV,.. .. J O - I amount of fat, the hollow ones inclose marrow, and there is considerable I flesh attac-hcd to tbem. These 1 bones, if large, are very hard to break. Without suitable machinery it is almost impossible to pulverize them. If placed in a lire the animal substances will be consumed and the mineral portions will become quite brittle. All j the substances, however, that are capable of forming ammonia will be con- | sumed aud lost in the atmosphere. It is very desirable to save the animal as well as the mineral substances that are contained in bones. This may be done by crushing them in machine prepared for the purpose or to treating them with sulphuric acid. Farmers, however, are not generally in a condition to do either of these things. It will accordingly be their nest way to put the bones under conditions favorable to their decomposition and at the same time unfavorable to the loss of any part of them that is volatile. Solid, as bones appear, nearly half their weight is matter that is quite perishable. One of the best ways of disposing of | fresh bones is to throw them into the pig-pen. The pigs will devour the flesh that is on them aud will break many of them for the purpose of getting the marrow they contain. They will often devour all the bones of a fowl aud most of the smaller ones of a sheep or calf, the last being qui e soft. The uud gested portions of them that are eaten will become part of their dung and will be in the best condition to use as a fertilizer. The larger bones will be at length mixed with the manure in the pes, which during the process of fermentation will soften and partially decompose them. Bones can be softened and partially decomposed by mixing them with fresh horse dung. The softening and decomposition may be promoted by putting them in a pot with quick lime and causing it to slake by the application of water. The same trio it lio hv nlfiointr thpm 4 O I in a tight barrel and covering them with moist wood ashes or lye. In either case ! there is an advantage in fir t breaking the larger bones. If large bones, like those of the heads of cattle, sheep, and horses, are buried under grapevines or fruit trec3 their roots will penetrate them and in time appropriate all the fertilizing matter they contain. Iiones kept under the sod will decay in time, and their inflnence will extend for a considerable distance and for many years. If bones have remained on the surface of the ground so long that all, or nearly all, the animal substances have been taken from them, it may be best to subject them to the action of fire, and then pulverize them withahammer or the back of an ax. Bonis broken in pieces of the size of | grains of corn or wheat will be readily 1 eaten by all kinds of fowls. If pulverized as fine as coarse com meal they will be eaten by cattle and sheep, and will be of great benefit to them. Every farmer should save all the bones he can and utilize them in some of the ways above described.?Chicago Times. A Potentate Wlio Is a Paraxon. The King of A.nnam, in the Em ire of China, is attended daily by a number of women choscn from all the ranks. Thirty of them mount guard at the doors of His Majesty's private appartments. 1* ive are attached constantly to his person ; it is these who have charge of his toilet; they dress hjm, perfume him, pare his long nails and arrange his tur ban. They also attend ou him at table. I The King takes three meals a clay. Each comprises fifty dishes, prepared by fifty cooks. The dishes are borne to the door of the dining rooms by the cooks, who hand them over to the women on duty, for no males are permitted to enter the royal apartments. Ilis Majesty drinks as a rule a peculiar kind of scented I spirit, specially distilled for him, but occasionally, on the advice of the doctors. he .takes a little Bordeaux wine. ' The quantity of rice eaten by His I Majesty is always the same; it is measured I and weighed; but should his appetite ; fall off and he be unable to consume the j prescribed amount, then the doctors are called in to provide remedies, of which they have to partake themselves before the King will touch them. His Majesty, it appears, is a hard worker, notwithstanding his effeminacy. He rises at 5 o'clock and goes to bed at 8 o'clock. All the affairs of the country pass through h:s hands. At regular periods he makes a tour to his dominions to see how his subjects are getting on and to redress J their grievances, should they have any. 1 In short, be appears to be the paragon J of a monarch.

I must commend goldfish, says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dir/mtch, to those who want something to enliven a room. They nre clc.ia in every 'fray, need never be fed. and can be left, if a network cover (over the globe) is used, with safety for davs together. They never sing, they don't chcw up your curtains, fly at your visitors, bring foreign and offensive inhabitants i*to your abode, and they seldom die?at least none of mine have departed this life yet, and I have had them now nearly two weeks. All you have to do is to give them fresh water once a week. G'eraniums in pots need more attention?I have to water mine once a week. Care of the Hands. All sorts of housekeeping gloves now come for the hands?chamois gloves for dusting, etc., rubber globes for wet J work, and even cooking gloves?so there is no ueed that women should spoil their pretty lingers. To keep the hands soft aud white or get them so, wash them regularly in lukewarm water, dry them with oatmeal and then a rough towel and occasionally add a little diamond paste, which can be procured at any drug store. It is not well to plunge the hands into either very cold or very hot water. For stains caused by ink, paint or similar substances one of the best treatments is to put a few drops of oil of vitriol in water and wash the hands without soap. For any lighter stains vaseline is excellent.?Chiuiyj Times. Encrusted Pots and Kettles. A culinary annoyance that is more a ! neglect than anything else, is rllowing the outside of iron puns and kettles to | become coated with thickscales of burnt grease aud dishwater, or the boiled over food which, at the time, could have been \ readily remove.1. It is easy to keep the i outside of all such utensils as clcan and smooth as the inside, if proper care is 1 observed. If they become smokey, have a cloth specially for them, and wash, wipe and dry them each time they are used, and all scaly outrides as well as inj sides will be avoided. This also applies to the dripping pans and cake griddles. If, however, through neglect th^y have become incrusted, place thetn on the hot coals for a little time and burn them well, after which it can all be scraped off. A little scouring of sand or wood ashes facilitates the cleaning.?Prairie Farmer. Tomato Catsup?Tomato Sance. The basis of tomato catsup, or ketchup, is the pulp of ripe tomatoes. Many defer milking catsup until late in the season, when the cool nights cause the fruit to ripen slowly, and it may be it is gathered hurridly for fear of a Irost. The late fruit does not yield so rich a pulp as that gathered in its prime. The fruit should have all green portions cut out and be stewed gently until thoroughly cooked. The pulp is then to be separated from the skins by rubbing through a wire sieve, so fine as to retain the seeds. The liquor thus obtained is to be evaporated to a thick pulp over a slow fire, and should be stirred to prevent scorching. The degree of evaporation will depend upon how thick it is desired to have the catsup. We prefer to make it so that it will just pour freely from the bottle. We observe no regular rule in flavoring. Use sufficient salt. Season with clove?, alspice and mace, bruised and tied in a cloth and boiled in the pulp; add a small quantity of powdered cayenne. Some add the spices ground fine directly to the pulp. A clove of garlic, bruised aud tied in a cloth, to be boiled with the spice-:, imparts a delicious flavor. Some evaporate the pulp to a greater thickness than is needed and then thin with vinegar. An excellent and useful tomato sauce may be made by preparing the pulp, but adding no spices, and putting it in small bottles while hot, corking securely and sealing. If desired the sauce may be salted before bottling, but this is not essential. To add to soups, stews, sauces and made dishes a sauce thus prepared is an excellent substitute for the fresh fruit. It should be put in small bottles, containing as much as will be wanted at once, as it will not keep long after opening American Agriculturalist. Receipes.

They cover nearly twenty million acres of improved I land, and their total value is something I like ten billion dollars. These figures are not, of course, very comprehensive. They simply convey the idea of vastness of area and equal vastness of importance. The estimated value of the yearly products of these farms is between two and three billion dollars.

Along the bayous and lagoons of Florida grows some of the finest timber in the South, much ot it in places considered entirely inaccessible until J. L. MauKfc Son hit upon the plan of constructing a floating sawmill. This idea they carried into execution, and their mammoth mill, which now lies off the banks of Burton & Harrison's hummock, near Palatka, is, according to the Southem Lumberman, a marvel of mechanical ingenuity. It has a length of eighty and a breadth of forty feet, and is so solidly built that the motion of the machinery has no more effect upon it than if it were built upon the solid land. Although it stands five feet high out of the water,its draught is only about afoot and a half, which permits it to be taken into the shallowest lagoons, where timber could not be f oated. It is equipped with the latest machinery, planer, box header, shingle saws, and" a tine forty horse power engine and boiler. On the hurricane deck is the cabin and office for thp nrnnrietnr while the cook house. w x 1 1 where the men board, is in a corner of the main deck, which is otherwise free for the piling of lumber, the machinery being all below it. This floating mill has so far proved eminently successful, exceeding the expectations of the proprietors iu this respcct, and is pro! ably the pioneer of numerous craft of the same kind.
