r AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Best Time In the Day to Cut Grass. The best time to mow grass is in the afternoon about 4 o'clock, says Editor A. TV. Cheever. Dew will never injure unwilted grass, and will dry o!f mown grass in much less time than from grass that is standing. Grass cut in the early morning while heavy with rain or dew may require mosi 01 me nrsi u;iy s wurn to get it free from the water upon it. Grass cut when free from outside moisture will often dry as perfectly in one day as wet gras9 would in two. Grass cut and left in swaths with the dew on is something in the condition of cut flowers with their stems set in damp moss or a dish of water. Grass cut between 4 o'clock in the afternoon and dark will begin to dry the following day, if fair, soon after sunrise; if stormy, it will not suffer till the storm is over. If grass is grown and ready to cut it should be cut even if a storm is expected the following day. Storms seldom injure freshly-cut grass. In variable weather cut all the grass in cloudy days, and then have the whole of the fair weather for making it into hay. The man who is in a constant worry tor fear of bad weather to-morrow is likely to cut his grass in clear weather and have it to make into hay as best he may in cloudy. A * Favorite" Fence. A correspondent in the Country Gentleman says his favorite fence is a combination of post, boards and wire. This is the way he describe? it: My favorite fence is one made of three boards and two barbed wires. It is possible to make a pig-proof fence with wire alone, but this requires 90 much wire that boards below are the most. ?/>nnnm)Vfll T set the nosts CO feet 8 inches apart. .Midway between these Sosts short ones, high enough for the oards to be nailed to, are set. These are posts that have rotted off, but the tops of which are sound; or posts split from short cuts, made when it was impossible to get a cut long enough for the ordinary post. These short posts are to be set as carefully as the long ones, as they must hold the ends of the boards. We now have po?ts fifteen feet four inches apart. Midway between these we set one of the weakest of our short! posts, or even a short stake. Another is j easily driven in at its side when needed. Just after the frost has come out of the ground in the spring, a stout stake can be driven down thirty inches into the ground, using a heavy sledge. This gives a. support every seven feet eight inches for our boards: and for the wire every thirty feet eight inches?close enough together when barbed wire is used. How to Destroy Insect Pests. A Bulletin of the New Jersey Agricultural College Experiment Station contains an article on "Insect Pests aud the Best Means of Destroying Them," by George D. Hulst. "We make the following extracts: Pflhhacrn Riittprflv; This and the cab bage plusia are the most common and destructive of insects infesting the leaves of the cabbage. They may be destroyed by dusting with pyrethrum (Persian) powder, or by sprinkling the plants wMi water heated to between 130 and 1?0 degrees Fahr. Paris green and London purple may be used before the cabbages Degin to head. Cabbage Koot Worm: This, the larva of a fly, attacks the roots of cabbages and cauliflowers, doing a very great deal of damage. The most satisfactory remedy seems to be that recommended by Prof A. J. Cook, of Michigan, namely, bisulphide of carbon. A small hole is made in the earth near the main root of the plant, one-hal a teaspoonful of the liquid poured in, and the hole filled in at once with earth, which is pressed down with the foot. Canker Worms: These caterpillars infesting apple trees pupate in the ground, leaving the tree3 iu early summer and appearing as moths late in the fall or early iu the next spring. The females are wingless. The remedies are, turning hogs in the orchard during the summer and fall, so the pup e may be destroyed; placing bands or troughs smeared with printer's ink or coal tar, so the wingless females cannot ascend the trees to layineir eggs; spraying ine trees with Paris green or London purple, to kill the caterpillars. Cherry Slug: This and other slug caterpillars can be destroyed bv dusting with lime, dusting the leaves with white hellebore, or spraying them with Paris green or London purple, or with fresh pyrethrnm water. Codling Moth: The following remedies are recommended for this insect, whose larva lives commonly in apples and quince?. Pasture the orchard, so that all fallen fruit; may be devoured. Tie pieces of old cloth or wisps of hay and straw about tbe limbs of the trees in early summer. The caterpillars descending the tree will make their cocoons in these, and the whole may be removed and burned later in the season. Prof. Cook, of .Michigan, has found that spraying the fruit with London purple at the time of the appearance of the moth will save a large portion of the fruit. Currant and Gooseberry Worms Powdered white hellebore dusted on the leaves will destroy this inject. Currant Stem Borer: The only remedy known to me is to cui ou ine miecicu stems and burn them. Cut Worms: These caterpillars, which cut of and thus destroy tender plants, especially cabbage, cauliflower and late com, embrace many species of moths belonging to the N-ctuidoi or Owlet Moths. Dr. Kiley especially recommends two methods of destruction: 1st. Making a hole several inches deep on each side of the plant with a round stick. The caterpillar will more tnan likely fall into one of the holes in its wanderings, and cannot extricate itself. 2d. And this is by far the better way?kill off the cut worms before the crop is planted. This is done as follows: Poison, with Paris green or I.ondon purple, a lot of cabba;or other succulent leaves, and after t ground is ready, scatter tbese for two three nights about the field. The cut worms, eating them, will be very generally destroyed. Peach Tree Borer: This i? generally destroyed by the weli-known process of cutting out or "worming." Professor J. A. Lintner, of New York, tells of a preventive which seems to have given good satisfaction, namely, a mixture of Astir) on/1 wllQlo.Ail CAQn TVllU UAI UU1IU OUIU numvv?? *?*.w is >mopped on the trunks of the trees, near the ground, with a whitewash brush, before and during the time of the appearance of the moth. These remedies apply as well to the kindred borers of the pear, apple and (juince trees. Plant Lice: The most effectual remedies against these seem to be ousting with pyrethrum (Persian) powder, and spraying with a solution of whaleoil soap. The smoke of burning, or vapor of boiling tobacco, is generally made use of in hot beds, green-houses and all enclosed places. Plum Curculio: Tbe mature beetle may be jarred from the trees night and morning into a cloth placed beneath, then emptied into a large bottle, and finally burned. All fallen fruit should he destroyed each day, by burning or boiling. It is stated (by Dr. Packard, of I hode Island, if I remember correctly) that spraying the fruit with a solution of Paris green or London purple before and during the appearance of the beetles, has resulted in the saving of a lanre portion of the fruit. It may also be an advantage to point out some of the friends of the farmer, which, conse juently, no farmer should destroy or allow to be destroyed. Among these are toad?, which arc, under all circumstances, the farmer's friend; moles and field mice, probably, do a vast deal more of goad than harm; all birds, especially robins, wrens, thrushes, orioles, cuckoos, phebes, blue birds, woodpeckers, swallows and cat birds. The destruction of all these and many others, except for scientific purposes, should be made, under very heavy penalties, illegal in every State. The | house sparrow, known better as the J English sparrow, is to be rated au exj ception. This bird is now universally regarded as a nuisance, first, because of ! its grain and vegetaMe-destroying proIpensities; secondly, because it drives away insect destroying birds. Among insects.many wa-ps are friends, J especially those with a more or less pro-. j trading horn or sting at the end of the I abdomen. I.ndy bugs and lace-wing I flies live entireiy upon destructive in{sects, especially plant lice and Scale inj sects, and should never be destroyed.

You should never have a strong-smell[ ing stable, at least where cows are kept. ! j The weeds should not be allowed to . grow too large before they are attacked | and rooted out. Those who planted poor seed, because j J it was cheap, have little to say to their : j neighbors now. I A pail of milk must not be left a min- ' ute in a strong-smelling stable. If it is it will be permanently tainted. As a rule, the average farmer will usually find that the "all purpose" animal will prove to him the most profit- , able. To not waste time with a poor calf. , A good calf costs no more to raise than a poor one; it is certainly worth much more. ?* il i-l-l- j miming xne vegeraoie cover ui sun, ; and eating it off bare by cattle, are prime means of destroying the fertility of a i piece of land. Before putting on the surplus boxes it is not necessary to clean all the honey and wax from the sides, as the bees will remove any that interferes. You cannot take a common mare and breed to a thoroughbred horse, and se- j cure in the offspring all the desirable qualities of a better-blooded animal. Go slow on new forage plants; old king corn is a good friend to the farmer; J use him freely as a forage and fodder plant; cultivate thoroughly, harvest carefully and he will give you good returns, i In hot days the bees sometimes come I* r _ i out ana nang in a ciusier ine si/.u ui a man's hand. This is probably to secure relief from the heat of the sun on the hive, when not shaded. It is well to have ! the hives shaded. Sponging off the leaves of India rub- : ber plants, dracmas, palms, callus, in fact of all plants, but especially those of large leaves, should be done once a week, ' using tepid water. Thus moistening the j , foliage not only benefits the health of ! j the plants, but keeps them free from : i accumulated dust. When you stack your hay have poles . and a good lot of straw or old hay, gr. both, for a bottom, so that every forkful j j you put into the stack will come out! good next winter. Be suie about thp j j topping out also. Cover well with fresh slou?h grass, after the stack is well fin-1 j ished and settled.

Aim for i quality before quantity. i To mark tools, first cover the article to j be marked with a thin coating of tallow ; or beeswax; then with a sharp instru- j m'ent write the name in the tallow. Clear with a feather; fill the place written, the : .letters, with nitric acid; let it remain i 1 from one to ten minutes, then dip in J i water and rub off, and the marks will be ! etched into the steel or iron. To make hens lay, says an exchange, ; put two or more quarts of water in a j I kettle and one large seed pepper or two , small ones; then put the kettle over the fire.

Grass is at its best when it is in the 1 first stage of blossoming, and before tho ; flower appears. Reproduction is an exhaustive process, and the formation of ! the pollen is the most exhaustive part of j this process. Besides, the pollen is in| jurious to the hay, causing it to be dusty ; and to irritate the breathing apparatus. | Hence gra-s for hay should be cut before ' the pollen is formed, which is soon after the spike or panicle appears. It then contains the most nutriment. Yalnablc Autographs.

Nature seem3 busy nowadays getting up new and terrifying animals to disgust one with drinking water. But without a microscope you don't discover them. HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. A Good Cleansing Fluid. For removing spots from furniture, carpets and woolen goods generally, prepare a cleansing fluid as follows: | Cut fine two ounces of white castile soap and dissolve it iu a p nt of hot watfer over the fire, then add two quarts more of water, and, when nearly cold, two ounce; of ammonia and one ounce j each of alcohol aud glycerine. Pnt all [ in a gallon jug, shake well and it is ready for use. Keep it closely corked when not in use. To wash woolen or cashmere dress goods, place a teacupful ' in a pail of warm water, rub the maj terial quickly with the hands, rinse ; when clean, and iron while it is clamp, i on the wrong side. For cleaning car' pets, wet a cloth in the fluid with a little water and rub the spots until they disappear. ?Prairii Farmer. Prince?s Muffins. "We had a guest over night, a physician and specialist in dietary matters. The princess made the breakfast muffins, which the doctor pronounced "the best ' thing he ever saw in food." He would like the recipe, provided it were neither ; very expensive nor very elaborate. The princess smiled and said "not very," and she gave it then and there: "Into cold water I stirred graham meal to make a medium thick batter, and dropped it into muffin rings that were ready hot, then put the pan into an even that was at a quick, full heat. ;u a trifle over fifteen minutes the mucins came out as you see them." The hygeist stared: 'You have omitted the yeast, or baking powder which?" "Both. Not any in mine. You surely ought to know how the heat does their work." The whole secret is the temperature ot the oven: a peasant can make as good muffins as the princess, if she will attend to this one point.?Sturdy Oak. The Use oT Oil in Cookinjj. It is said by Eleanor Bates, in Daughters of America, that a lady once atteuded a concert, at which she fell into a discussion with a friend concerning divers modes of cookery; the theme of the conversation proved more enchanting than the mu*ic, which came to a sudden pause just as her unruly tongue, in spite of herself, proclaimed in hearing of the whole audience to their undisguised delight: "We fry ours in b itter!" Beloved sifters, fry no more in butter, it is expensive, burns easily and needs constant watching. Not many of you turn to lard, that modern American product which has been scornfully thrust from foreign markets. The housewife who raises her own pigs on the banks of a running stream and feeds them plentifully on sweet corn meal and buttermilk ?sheand none other may use lard with out fear and without reproach, but the lard of the market is fearfully and wonderfully made. Produced from unclean, sometimes -diseased animals, and as proved by recent revelations, more often adulterated than not, it is an unwholesome article of food. Let us forthwith inaugurate a crusade against it. "What then shall we use for frying? Clean beef drippings are delightful in their way, but some of the objections always made to animal fats are in place here. There is an article, however, against which none of these can be urged. It is cotton-seed oil. You don't like the taste of oil? Do you like the delicate flavor of fresh, sweet chicken fat? The tastes are almost identical. The cost is less than that of lard. A kettleful may be used again and again. It will cook without burning at a much higher temperature than either butter or lard. It being purely vegetable, can carry no trichiiue, no form ol scrofula into the human system. It ' takes up" in cooking less than lard.

They who have used it the longest, are its warmest friends and firmest adherents. Fo isehold Hints. Vegetables are best stored in a room by themselves. Sweet, light, fine-grained bread, twenty-four hours old makes the best sandwiches. Never send to the table the sance food for three meals in succession, unless varied m some way. A cool cellar aired on a warm day will gather moisture. To avoid this open the windows in the even:ngs. Half a teaspoonful of common table salt, dissolved in a little cold water and drank, will instantly relieve heartburn. One pound and a half of copperas dis solved in a gallon of water makes an excellent disinfectant for the kitchen sink. Scraps are a regular savings bank for the good cook. The greatest possible variety of good things can be made out of them. Fruit that has been canned or preserved can be dried by skimming it out of the liquid and treating the same as tomato figs. After cleaning lamps and wiping them dry, turn the wick down below the top of the burner. This prevents oil on the outside of the burner. A good cook throws away nothing, i Every piece of bread, every inch of meat, every particle of vegetable can be turned into something palatable. ! Flour should be bought by the barrel, i but Indian meal i-? so apt to become inj fested with weevils that it should not ; remain much over a week on hand. i \VVi#>n mil hfiil rnhhnrrfl tis r hit nf " "W" ' ~ ? | dry bread in a bag and put it in the kettle. French cooks say that the unpleasant odor will be absorbed by the bread. Mayonnaise dressing, made with the yolks of two raw eggs, stirred with the best olive oil added drop by drop, is the foundation of the best salad dressing. A gnod way to distinguish mushrooms is to sprinkle salt on the spongy or under side. If it turns yellow the specimen is poisonous: if black, it is wholesome. Vaccination in the Harem.

A hole had been made in the center of the screen, j just large enough to allow an iirm to pass through; and in this manner the arms, of various colors and si/es, were presented to the operator in rapid succesion. i It was utterly impossible for the surgeon to get a glimpse of his patients; but, in order to guard against the chance of his being able to see through the screen, two eunuchs, who stood by the operator, threw a shawl over his face the instant an operation was conchided, and I did not remove it till the next arm hud been placed in position,?/rad/an Me.iicaL Gazette. ; ' " 9 i : gS ?"?

It can be procured at the shoemaker's only, and then at the hands of a shoemaker of the highest intelligence and without such prejudice in favor of a peculiar cut of shoe that he will be unwilling to make one different. "The whole secret of curing or preventing the human affliction knowr a9corns lies in making a very loose boot which will still hold the foot so firmly that the latter's sides will not, by wabbling about, be irritated by friction worse than the steady pressure of too much tightness. That can be done by making the shoe (boots cannot be used to advantage) fit closely around the instep and all back of it up to the ankle. And in front of the instep all desire for beauty must be abandoned and the shoe made very loose. For some feet it must be so loose that its upper can be pressed into folds, and the looseness should ex - * ?-3- -r tend even beyona tne extreme enus ui the toes. With this shoe, also, all the joints of the foot -will expand and play with the freedom needed to ward off those more unsightly and no less troublesome derangements known as bunion?. ' Before long the wearer will step off with a stride as unhampered as that of the soft moccasined aborigine, and he will be ready to plunge into a crowd where feet are planted at random with a fearlessness regarding his own and an indifference as to where those of others may fall, which alone is worth the price of his new shoes. Then he will wonder how he ever submitted for an hour to the oppressive measurements of his shoemaker, and, after the manner of a man without headaches who 'never knows that he has a head,' his walk through life will be completed in blissful ignorance that he has a foot." Railroad Innovations in Scotland. The blasts of a trumpet on railroads as a means of giving signals to enginerunners, switchmen and others engaged in switching and drilling operations, are now extensively used in the large yards of the Caledonian Kailway in and around Glasgow, Scotland, and are about to be introduced on some of the great railway systems having termini in London. According to the code of trumpet signals for shunting, in operation at St. Hollox freight yard, Glasgow, the various sitjna's are represented by long blasts, short bla-ts, and "crows" of the trumpet, the repetition of each varying the diiections. For instance, one long blast of the trumpet me ins "move forward," and two long blasts are a signal to "move back." Each shunter, and in some cases the signalman, is furnished with a horn trumpet, which is eleven inches in length, having a reed inside themouth-picce, the whole being of very light construction. The trumpet is carried by the shunter, slung over his left shoulder with a piece of cord, and hangs across the right hip. Another ancient and pastoral implement, the shepherd's crook, is also used for facilitating switching operations across the water. Each yardman carries a sort of shepherd's crook by which he lifts the chain coupling. It is stated on good authority that since this method of coupling freight-cars has been adopted on the Caledonian, that not a single man has been injured in coupling cars.
