TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Summer Hoeinff.
Few operations on the farm need to be
done so promptly as the cultivation of
hoed crops, says the P'ottyhman. Sometimes
the neglect of a single day will in.
crease the labor one-half, aud decrease
the crop nearly as much; for example, a
field of onions may need to be hoed today,
the weather is fine, the sun being
warm enough to destroy the weeds as
soon as disturbed, but other business
pressing, the work is delayed, thinking,
one day will make but little difference;
but when the morrow comes it rains, so
another day must pass, and if the work
be done the following day, the soil will
be wet and the weeds wiil have got so
large that thev overshadow the crop, so
that when removed the crop is injured,
and the weeds will take root again unless
carried from the field. Farmers, as
a rule, neglect their hoed crops too
much during the haying season; by
being one or two weeks behind time they
have to spend twice the time necessary
to keep their crops clear of weeds than if
the work be done when it ought to be,
and yet the land is full of weeds, and
the crops are greatly reduced because not
cultivated when they ought to have
been.
Grape-Growing.
The Indiana Farm r has the following
points for grape growers:
Prepare the ground in the fall; plant
in the spring.
Give the vine plenty of manure, old
and well decomposed; for fresh manure
excitcs the growtn, out aoes noi manure
it.
Luxuriant growth does not insure
fruit.
Dig deep, and plant shallow.
Young vines produce beautiful fruit,
but old vines produce the richest.
Prune in autumn to insure growth, but
in spring to insure fruitfulness.
Plant your vices before you put up
trellises.
Vines, like old soldiers, should have
good arms.
Prune spurs to one developed bud, for
the nearer the old wood, the higher flavored
the fruit
Those who prune long must soon
climb.
Vine leaves love the sun; the fruit
the shade.
Every leaf has a bud at the base, and
either a branch or a tendril opposite it. j
A tendril is an abortive fruit bunch? :
a bunch of fruit a productive tendril. I
Scab in Potatoes.
The two principal desires of the potato
erower are, of course, quality and j
quantity, and if only one may be realized
the former has the preference. Potatoes
-without disease are, or ought to be, the
great aim in this day of rot, blight and
ecabby tubers. Of late years not only
learned scientists, but progressive farmers,
have endeavored to discover the
cause, and a preventive, for scab in .
potatoes.
Some of our ablest authorities, includ- >
ing Dr. J. B. Larves, of England; E. S. I
Carman, editor of the Rural Neio Yorker;
Dr. P.M. Hexamer; Dr. Henry Stewart, I
and Professor tioeesman, after extensive
and repeated experiments, have become i
convinced of the e.ticacy of special com- j
mercial fertilizers for the potato. 3lr. j
Carman, who believes that wire worms I
are at least one cause of scabby potatoes, '
flays: "Whether the wire worm dislikes ;
potato chemical fertilizers, or whether
these do not furnish the shelter which
the worm prefers, we do uot pretend to
say. We do say that in all of our tests
the potatoes grown with farm manure ,
have invariably been more injured with
wire worms thau those grown with
fertilizers "
m e ? 11
me iceung very geueiany prevails uisil j
manure, especially fresh manure, is a '
prolific cause, in many soils, of potato- ;
scab, and ought to be avoided for this
crop. In general, it is claimed that:
potatoes grown on chemical fertilizers ,
are more lree from rot-scab and blight, :
and are smoother, more uniform and of .
betteV quality than those grown on un- ;
fermented stable manure.
In a word, experience has proren that
organic manure* tend to promote scab
and rot in potatoes. The organic substance
seem3 to afford a soil peculiarly
adapted to the development of fungi and
insects, which in time attack the potatoes.
On the other hand results favor the belief |
that commercial fertilizers made from !
minerals and properly treated animal j
products are comparatively free from J
fungi, and that such fertilizers tend to
prevent or destroy any chance fungus j
growth in the potato itself.?New York

* Practical Turnip-Feeding.
Mr. F. D. Curtis, to practice what he '
preaches, uses turnips in feeding his
nog3, and gives his experience. He says I
that the best pork ever made on the farm !
was made by feeding sixteen old hogs, I
twice a day, live bushels of turnips and
Bwedes, boiled, and mixed with a half :
bushel of rye, ground entire. Three '
weeks before killiug-time the rye was ,
increased to three pecks at each meal, i
The turnips were cooked in a potash ,
kettle, which held, heaping full, ten i
bushels, when boiled unt 1 soft they
were ehoveled into a barrel, and the j
kettle tilled again; these were cooked |
with about half the fire required for the j
first lot. The troughs were filled with !
the turnips, the meal spreal on, and the |
mass worked together with a hoe. The j
hogs were then allowed to pitch in. I
After filling themselves with this succu- \
lent and healthful food, they would go i
out into the field and lie down and !
sleep until it was digested, and then go
and eat the roweu, or pick up the green j
leaves from the roots, and also the little
turnips left in a portion of the field.
They were fed only two meals a day,
and this gave them time and an appetite
to eat grass, leaves and raw roots,
which in their turn helped to make
erowth and a healthy condition. These
hogs were fattened with seventy-five per
cent, of lean meat in them, and the
favor was as near perefectas possible.
The store hogs were left in the pasture
until winter came, and had very little
meal, plenty of swede leaves,carrot tops,
some apples, and all the grass they
vranted.
I have never wintered hogs cheaper
than the past year. Two-thirds of their
entire food up to within a few days, has
been nothing but turnips, and the most
of these common fiat turnips, called the
red-top. The turnips have been fed raw
morning and noon, with a supper of thin
slop, made of bran and rye meal and
water, mixed up fresh.
To cap the whole experiment, one of
his young sows on a very cold niuht,
farrowed a litter of eleven fine pigs, alt
of which aid well. He says, if turnips
re 90 or 95 per cent, water,they produce
wonderfully smart litters of pigs. The
, average squeaking, weak and helpless
litter of pigs would all have died if they
had been left to help themselves.-Farm,
Field and Stockman.
.
Fungns Diseases.
Market gardeners often lose a crop of
I canteloups, tomatoes or potatoes from a
| fungus disease or leaf blight, wJiirh atl
tacks the leaves, gradually spreading
! until the entire plant becomes involved.
I We have seen entire fields so completely
destroyed that scarcely enough fruit was
gathered to pay for the e.\| enscs of prclmrincr
the cround. much less pay a
. J. 0 o ? profit.
"We are now trying a series of
| experiments with various fungicides
recommended by the National Department
of Agriculture, our own vines beI
ing infected, and hope to give a favorable
report of their action later on.
! In tlic circular issued by Commissioner
Norman J. Colman are some twentythree
receipts, most of which contain
sulphate of copper (blue stone) in connection
with either lime, sulphur, ashes,
or all of these in combination; al?o directions
for other preparations, either in
i powder or liquid form. However, as
1 most of them seem to be very much
j alike in their composition, we select only
a few for publication, andhaveno doubt
if they are faithfully and intelligently
applied will completely eradicate the
disease, whether upon trees, vines or
vegetation of any description.
i The first upon the list is a simple solution
of sulphate of copper, made by dissolving
one pound in twenty-five gallons
of water. This has been used success- :
fully in the treatment of downy mildew (
on the grape.
2. A modification of copper mixture
I of Gironde is as follows: Sulphate of
l copper, four pounds: lime, four pounds;
water, twenty-two gallons. This is
used for dowuy mildew and black rot in
the i/rane: also for blijrht and rot of the
j potato and tomato. !
Kau Celeste.?Dissolve one pound
of sulphate of copper in two gallons of
hot water; when d.ssolved and cool add
one. and one-half pints commercial am- 1
monia and dilute to twenty-two gallons. >
Used for same diseases as in preceding
receipt. |
4. B;ight Powders.?Prepared by mixi
ing three to eight pounds anhydrous
sulphate of copper with ninety to one
hundred pounds t!our of sulphur.
1 5. Davids' Powder.?Dissolve four
pounds sulphate of copper in least po9- >
sib!e quantity of hot water, and slake
sixteen pounds of lime with the smallest
quantity of water required. When
completely cool mix thoroughly, let the
compound dry in the sun, crush and
sift.
The liquids should be sprayed on the
vine?, using a pump with a spraying
nozzle.
The powders may le distributed with
a powder bellows or with a common
funnel-shaped sifter covered with fine
wire gauze.
The following caution is givcu: Avoid
making the applications excessive; do
not drench the plants with the fluids or (
plaster them with the powders. With
a suitable spiaying apparatus, wnicn i
projects a fine mist-like spray, merely
wet the ])lant surfaces, and employ bel- j
lows whi -h will discharge the powder
evenly and in such a manner that the
plants may be enveloped in a cloud of
dust, which, settling upon all parts, be- |
comes just perceptible.
The necessity for good and easily
worked spraying pumps is evident. |
For sma'l plantations and general vine- 1
yard use the knapsack form of sprayer, |
having the reservoir and pump com- i
bincd, to be carried upon the back, is 1
recommended. ? Ncui Orleans Times- I

The proper time to cut rye for hay is
when the heads are formed and the tirst

hay, but it will answer very well for t
cattle, also for horses if cut up and used j
with ground feed.
As a result of some experiments by the :
Agricultural Col lego, of Michigan, with
a large number ol different varieties of
potatoes, the Beauty of Hebron, ThorImrn,
Dacota l'ed and White Star were
found to be varieties which gave the
highest yield.
"Luck with flowers" consists in taking
intelligent care of them. The air of
living rooms is usually too warm and
dry for them, and the accumulation of
dust on the leaves prevents them from

Milk should be fed to young animals

Best results follow by feeding at regular
and proper intervals, in just the right
quantities. Overloading the stomach of
a hungry calf is followed by worse consequences
often than Ivy a little stinginess.
An orchard that is at the same time
the poultry-yard will producc 100 per
cent, more fruit, of better quality, than
one receiving the ordinary culture of the
average farmer. The constant scratching
about the roots, the gobbling up of
all the insects, the constant droppings
which the rains make soluble, and the
continual supply, is marked by a dark
green verdure anl a large, fa r fruit; the
la-geruus make the fowls healthier and
J the egg product greater.
Arctic Luncheon.
About noon, or a little later, it is time
in the Arctic regions, writes Lieutenant
Scliwatka in the Chnulau/uan, to take a
lunch, and that rest is consequently a
little longer than usual. If there is any
cooked meat left from the morning meal
it is devoured at this time. Usually this
meal is made from raw frozen meat, that
of the reindeer being the best, unless it
is intensely cold weather, when the fat
seal and walrus are deemed better. With
a hand a* or hatchet isoinetimes a
butcher's saw is used i chunks are cut
from the hard fro en mass abo it the si/e j
of one's list, and these solidified pieces,
that one could use as a stone, are then
converted into brashy masses by pounding
them with the back of the ax or
hatchet. If the thermometer is below
forty degrees Fahrenheit, the meat must
be breathed on a lew times or, if pattaken
freely, it will freeze the tender
mucous membrane of the mouth and
leave a painful sensation of burning.
The first effect of this peculiar polar
lunch is to chill the person through and
to set him to shivering; but in a very
little while a reaction of genial warmth
sets in,and the lunch feels much warmer,
he imagines, than if he had partaken o'
a hot meal.

A Homemade Juice Press,
The ordinary method of extracting
juice from fruits, lard from scraps, etc.,
by placing the material in a strong bag
or cloth and squeezing and wringing it
by hand, is exceedingly irksome. There
arc screw presses for the purpose, but
they are more or less expensive and are
to be found in few kitchens. Mu.h aid
may be derived from tiie use of a simple
lever press, made on the principle of a I
lemon squeezer. It requires two persons,
however, to manage this, one to hold the
material in the bag or cloth, and the
other to apply the pressure. But if one
of the halves of the press is hinged to a
piece of board, 2 feet longhand 14 inches j
wide, aad set upon a table with one end
a little elevated, it can be worked by one
person. This press will be found especially
convenient in jelly making time,
as with its aid the juice may be pressed
without either unduly staining or tiring
the hands.?Brooklyn Citizen.
trA..na I?llno
I have discovered a good way to destroy
house flics, says a lady in the
Pt'&tyune. It has the advantage of
cheapness and also preventing dead flies
from falling into everything, as they do
when poison is used. Mix together
equal parts, by measure, of melted rosin
and castor oil. Stir until thoroughly
mixed?which will take only a minute.
While yet a little warm, spread thin and
evenly on any paper that is not porous.
We use fools'-cap, writing papers, catalogue
covers, show bills, etc. Spread
with a case knife, or any straight-edged
instrument, slightly warmed. Leave a
narrow border to handle with. Lay the
papers on tables, shelves or any spare
places where flies are numerous. They
will soon cover the papers. As soon as
they alight they will stick fast, and soon
pull themselves down. Whcu the papers
are covered two or three Hies deep, put
in stove and replace wilh another one.
Be sure to use no water. The oil prevents
the resin from hardening and has
the peculiarity of not evaporating. The
oil leaves no odor when cool. Ten cents
will buy enough to kill all the flies in a
hotel.

A Lire-Sustaining Drink for Horses.
"What is that white stuff in the
waterJ" said one of the passengers on
one of the Brooklyn street cars, as the
horses were stopped to drink out of pails
of water.
' That's oatmeal which- we mix with
the water," said the conductor, to whom
the (piestion was addressed.
"Oatmeal! What has come over the
officers of the corporation? Have they
joined the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals."
"It's not that," said the conductor.
"It's economy."
"Economy," exclaimed a passenger.
"Why, yes. Don't you know that
nothing sustains life better than oatmeal
and water. Soldiers c&n make
longer marches than when drinking
water or beeralone. The company save
money by giving the animals oatmeal
and water. It gets more work out of
them and fewer horses drop dtad than
on water alone.
"Is it sunstroke that kills so many
horses." said the New York Telegram
reportei.
"Some of them die of sunstroke, but
most of them die from heart-disease.
What kills them more than anything
else is the starting when they have to
start often on an uphill grade. When
the car is stopped every block or so. as is
often done, it is terrible on the poor
brutes. I have often seen their veins
standing out like cords and the horses
gapping at every start. Ladies are sometimes
very cruel without knowing it, and
might save the horses a great deal by
occasionally walking a block or so,"
A Chinese Hook of Etiquette.
Sir James Legge, the Professor of
Chinese at Oxford, has recently published
some curious details concerning the
i "Li-Ki," or "Rules of Behavior," aclasj
sic work in a country where mau is bound
by traditional ceremony from his first
; steps until the day of his death. As to
visits, the manual directs, among other
i things, that the master of the house must
advance outside to meet his guest, who
j will refuse to enter the door first; the
; host, after a profound bow, then enters
1 at the side of the guest. The door
I passed, the same trouble occurs about
I going up stairs; it is only after a long ex.
change of set compliments that the two
walk up side by side, but even then the
j visitor must mount the first step with
his right foot, and the host with his left
! foot. Chinamen who failed to observe
j this ceremonial would be considered
; without breeding.
If the visitor is invited to dinner, cusJ
torn orders that when the invitation is
given he shall recen e from the host cer,
tain adv ce as to conduct, such as: "Do
not cat with noise; do not crunch the
bones with your teeth or drink down the
| sauces at a gulp." This is said seriously,
: and seriously received. If the master of
j the house is a person of importance, and
offers to his guest fruit with stones or
| pits, such a9 peaches and cherries, the
guest must put the pits in his pocket in
order not to appear to reiuse anyiumg
the host is gooa enough lo offer. If a
I melon is served, the manner of cutting
it depends upon the caste to which tha
I cutter belongs. Sentiments arc regulated
by custom, as well as their expression.
! Thus, if in the course of a visit, refreshj
ments are offered to the guest, he must
drink the first cup "with an air of profound
thought,5' the second, "with a
satisfied expression."
The "Li-lvi" has many pages devoted
[ to the ceremonial of mourning. Gr.'ef
j must attain its height at the return from
i the funeral. The code eavs: "When a
father has died, the son must seem to be
completely overwhelmed; when the body
i has been placed in the co3in, he should
cast around him rapid glances of afflicI
tion, as if he sought for something he
could not find. After the burial he
should appear uneasy and alarmed, as if
waiting for some one who does not come.
At the end of the first year of mourning,
he should appear sad; at the end of the
I second year, uneasy." Lamentations ara
restricted to certain hours and places.
! At certain times the mourner must bare
his breast and jump up and down. If
mourning for a distant relative, it is sufficient
for him to pretend to jump. Consolation
is also meted out by rule. The
"Li-Ki" mentions a woman named KingKiang,
who was so well-bred that having
lost both husband and son she mourned
for her son day and night and for her
husband by day only. Irregularity in
ceremonial as to mourning is regarded
! with such disfavor that the "Li-Ki" observes:
"It is better not to mourn at
all than to mourn alter an improper
fashion and in improper dress."?Ncu>

Masterpieces in Flower Gardening.
I Florist Ettore Tassrnari has completed
| his designs at the Danvers Hospital for
the season, and they are doubtless unj
surpassed by any in this part of the
: country. The flower beds are on tbe great
; lawn at the front of the buildings, fac|
ing west, and are daily visited by
j scores.
j The principal design is similar to that
of last year, a Chinese pagoda seventejn
and a half feet high, surrounded by a
dome seven feet high, supported by six
pillars, and made of house leeks. In
j the centre is a tiny fountain. The ciiI
cumference at the base is nearly seventy
feet, and the base is made of alternanthera,
echevcrria, and other bedding
plants. On the front is a calendar, with
year, month, day of month and day of
week in separate boxes which are changed
from day to day and month to month.
, On the reverse side is an American
J shield and crossed flags of red, white
and bl ue plants and flowers and a border
of a different color. An archway seven
feet high is made under the design, and
is lined with growing plants and flowers.
TVio flnnr '"a iiavpd and two fountains arfi
in operation. Over thirty kinds of bed
plants are used in the design and it is a
vc:y line exhibition, I-hotographs have
been taken of it.
The next in importance and beauty is
a "solar clock" or sun dial, arranged on
a scientific principle, which accurately
tells the time of day. It is in the form
of a horseshoe and the Koman numerals
are arranged in the rim of the shoe. A
pole pointing north, at an angle of fortyJ
seven degrees, casts a shadow on the
numbers. The pole is made of growing
houscleeks, and the bed is made of the
j same and other low plants.
There are twenty or thirty other beds
ab.'Ut the buildings in designs of star9,
crescents, etc., and a'l are very handsome.
The lawns are beautiful and the
j grounds always neat and well kept.?

No speck or dirt on them is seen
To mar your linen's glossy sheen;
Your woolen dress that was so soiled,
I thought that it was surely spoiled,
Now looks as spick and span as though
| It never had been spattered so!
; This fine old lace is firm and white;
| Your silk hose keep their colors bright;
I Your shawl, your gloves, are spotless, too;
That old print gown seems really new!

In vain my laundress boils and rubs
The clothes, and labors at her tubs;
My newest garments soon look worn,
Get streaked and lusterless and torn.
Said Mrs. Green, in turn: My dear,
Poor soap has spoiled your clothes I fear,
Compelled your laundress first to boil,
Then spend her days in fruitless toil.
My laundress uses Ivory Soap,
And in its cakes for you there's hope;
What in my clothes so pleases you,
To Ivory Soap is wholly due.
