TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
R
TO GET RID OF SORREL.
R If the land is plowed deeply and the
sorrel turned under so that the roots are
exposed to the frost, and salt is scattered
over the ground at the rate of one peck
to every two rods square, the sorrel will
be completely killed. Iso doubt more
sorrel will appear from the seed in the
ground, but if manure is put on and the
land put in corn and kept well hoed the

in lawns and paths may be killed out by j
scattering salt over it. The grass will
not be injured unless the salt is used too
freely, but plenty of salt will destroy
grass in the pathways.?Xcw York Times.
SMCT IX WHEAT.
Smut in wheat was once a great cause
of loss and complaint, and it was found
that the smut increased when smutty
seed was used. I found by making a
strong brine with blue vitriol dissolved
in it, putting it in a tub large enough to
hold a tight basket in which the seed
wheat was placed?the wheat stirred and
skimmed, then raised out of the brine
and allowed to drain,when it was poured
out or put in bags and so remained twelve
to tweuty-four hours, and then sown in
the usual manner. I never found this to
fail as a remedy in wheat. The strong
brine was useful to float out light and
probably diseased grains,and also to perfectly
introduce the vitriol to all the
grain-; of wheat. Two years ago, thinking
of this, I poured my seed corn on the
floor and poured among it a solution of
^Mue vitriol and gave it a good stirring.
Bfcut it will be seen that that way of ap[
ply"1? the- vitriol did not surely reach
every grain. The result was much less
smut than in former years.?Hoard's j
Dairyman.
MAKTXG PORK TOO FAT.
The evil of over-fatteuing pork is less
common than it used to be. Two reasons
have combined to make lean meat more
popular. The doctors taught that it was
more healthful aud nutritious than the
fat, and about the same time the use of
other oils decreased the price of lard so
that excessive fat pork was neither profitable
nor needed. The change in ways of
feeding has also had something to do
with making pork more wholesome. Corn
Is no longer the exclusive food even for
fattening. The best practice now is to
feed the rations that will make hogs grow
and keep thrifty from the time it is born
until it is killed. There may be exceptions
to this in animals kept for breeders;
but all others should be fat enough for
use from the time they are the right size
for roasting. By the liberal use of milk,
oatmeal and peas growth is promoted,
along with at all times enough fat to
' make delicious pork, far better than that
made by starving the animal while young,
and over-feeding with corn as they be
come older.
HOW TO SHIP GAME.
During cold weather game birds of all
kinds Bhould not be drawn. Before being
packed they should be thoroughly
cold and dry. Smooth the feathers down
cicely and pack them in their natural
|^5&pe 83 much as possible. Do not plaee
? -it: head under the wing, as it is quite
apt to bleed and cause a bad spot on the
/ side of the bird. Late in the season it is
^ well to wrap in paper prairie chickens,
1 partridge and quail. Buyers then give
such the preference, but during the fore
part of the season, when the weather is
more changeable, the paper proves
damaging to the keeping of the game.
Barrels are favorable packages for prairie
chickens, but partridge and quail should
be packed in boxes, not over three to
four dozen each for the former, and ten
to fifteen dozen for the latter; avoid as
far as possible putting more than one
kind of game in a package. Pigeons,
during the early part of the season, should
be shipped with their feathers on; but
when the weather becomes warm they
should be plucked and packed in ice.?
American Cultivator.
SUBSOIL PLOWING.
Very much has been said and writtenon
the advantages to be derived from
breaking up the hard, compact subsoil
underlying the stratum cultivated. Commonly,
subsoils will be found lacking in
the elements of fertility, and bringing
them to the surface will usually be found
detrimental rather than otherwise.
Where there has been a continuous shallow
plowing of the surface soil for years
a slightly deeper plowing will add to the
feeding area of the plants, but unless the
Burface soil is itself rich it must be accomparied
by liberal manuring. As the
BgTeat bulk of the roots of our cultivated
^plants grow naturally near the surface, it
Beems to me tnat suosomng lor tae purpose
of increasing the feeding area is not
of sufficient importance to pay the expense;
we must look somewhere else for
its benefits if it has enough to recommend
it for general adoption. It is now coming.
to be pretty well understood that
.^-"frhen a crop has carried oil from a soil of
moderate fertility the plant food that has
been used up in its production it must be
supplied from an outside source and cannot
be obtained simply by deep plowing,
whether the subsoil is brought to the surface
or simply stirred up and left in its
place. Bo far as my own observation
and little experience go, the advantages
of subsoiling mainly consist in affording
additional storage for water that may be
drawn upon by the roots of plants in seasons
of droughty and in season of excessive
moisture the subsoiling may itself be
injurious.?New York World.
POINTS ABOUT POULTRY.
I have learned to choose such pullets
for eggs as iii some respects resemble a
typical dairy cow. They incline to
wedge-shape, being light and rather narrow
in front, and very wide and low
down behind. Their legs are rather
short and set wide apart. These are the
principal characteristics of good layers
and breeders. Carefully avoid the leggy,
high-built, reared-up hen of the gamecock
style. They may make good racers,
flyers or fighters, but they are rarely good
layers or profitable market bird3. It is
the shoit-legged, heavy-sec motherlylooking
hen that shells out the egg3, attends
strictly to business when sitting,
ahd is successful in rearing a family. I
have learned, too, that a laying hen eats
little more than one not laying, and also
that it is a very easy matter to reduce the
profit of a flock of twenty to zero by
, keeping five or six chronic non-layers
among them.
Before marketing fuxplus fowls fatten
i j .
them. This is best done by inclosing in
a small ywd where they can obtain little
exercise and feeding liberally with mixed
grain, corn, oats and wheat, with occasional
rations of boiled potatoes or other
vegetables, chopped apples, etc. But
right here is where the greatest caution
must be exercised, or you will kill the
entire lot in less than a week. When a
fowl is being fattened remember that it
must have plenty of coarse gravel,broken
crockery or glass to enable it to grind
the increased quantity of food you give
it. And also it must have abundance of
pure water. With a sufficiency of these
requisites, and a variety of food, a fowl
will fatten nicely in about two weeks,
and will then sell for the top prices, while
a common, skinny cull will not fetch
enough to pay for catching it.?Exam'

THE rnOPEIt CATIE OF A COLT.
We will start with the suckling at the
' i ' ;0
(lay 01 US Dlirn, 3UU presume uiam 10 ui
good parentage, both sire and dam, that
it is sound and able to stand and walk
within fifteen minute3 after it breathes.
At the age of a week most farmers come
to work the dam and let the suckling
follow around as best he can, and at the
age of four months, the colt being then
of sufficient age to wean, the dam has
performed a good summer's work,worked
just as hard as her gelding mate with no
colt. This method is entirely wrong.
The heated blood, tiresome labor of both
mare and colt is really killing both.
The mare and colt during the first
four, five or six months should be kept
in good pasture where there is plenty of
good water and shade. "While it may be
practicable to wean the colt at four
months, we certainly prefer six, and now
comes the most important period of the
entire five years of the colt's growth, and
if starved or stunted the first winter it
never fully recovers. Not only the size,
but the whole frame of the animal is injured,
never to be regained.
The colt should be fed on plenty of
nLion Viotr nlpntr nf water at all
~?J, j- J
times, and we would give half and half
of ground oats and wheat bran twice a
day, about two quarts at a mess. "We
give this dry, but if scalded and then
cooled it will be better. A. well-to-do
farmer told me once, this would be too
much; I think he was right for the first
week or two, but certainly not for the
cold winter days, nor the spring either.
I asked him what damage it would do;
his answer was too rapid a growth. He
had previously told me that he would
treat a colt as he would a boy. I asked
him if he ever knew too big a growth of
boy, but to this there was no answer.
The colt should have a warm place to
protect himself from cold weather and
storms, a bed of dry straw or sawdust to
1 A- -1
sleep upon, or to ne aown at pleasure; uc
must not be confined to the stable, but
have a yard; or, better still, an open
field to run in; in no case should he be
allowed to stand on a hard floor.?

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
A hornless bull is a safeguard to human
life.
To cure scaly legs in fowls, rub with
kerosene and lard.
Overfed fowls will not lay well, and, in
case3 of the larger breeds especially, they
are more liable to die from apoplexy.
If you have not been converted to sheltering
cows see how much they shrink in
their milk the first cold storm they are
in.
To insure a good supply of eggs make
the poultry house warm and free from
draughts and vary the food as much as
may be.
The aeration of fresh-drawn milk is the
only expedient known to properly expel
the animal heat and to lesson the tang of
undesirable odors.
To use bulls for breeding purposes
younger of age than three years old is an
act directly in opposition to the principles
of progressive breeding.
Five average "native" cows, fed on the
fat of the farm, will pay better returns
than ten grade animals, whose staff of
life is a hay-rick and straw stack.
The carrot is the root crop preferred by
horses. The made of feeding carrots to
horses is to chop them fine and give each
horse half a peck three times a week.
If the farmer were obliged to buy the
vetegables used in his family through the
>10 vL-nnlrl }>porin tr> understand how
much money there is in a good garden.
Farm-dairying has got to be as thoroughly
systemized as we hope to make the
manufacture of butter and cheese, before
a perfect uniformity of dairy products can
ever be looked for.
"Whenever stock is ready, for market
they should be sold. After a certain stage
is reached, every day they are fed increases
the cost proportionately, and this
without a corresponding profit.
While it is best to allow the stock to
run out in the pastures as long as the
weather will permit, they should not be
allowed either in the fields or pastures
after the ground gets soft from the fall
rains.
To feed upon the ground is a waste,
because more or less is tramped down under
foot and lost. Tight boxes for grain
and good racks or mangers for hay will
be profitable, because they lessen the
waste.
There is no economy in supplying more
bedding than is necessary to make comfortable.
Such a plan only increases the
expense and the quantity of material to
be handled without a corresponding
benefit.
Alfalfa hay is one of the best hojr-feeds
that can be used. Swine relish it, aud if
it is fed to them liberally they will take
on flesh as rapidly as on corn diet. Besides
hogs never suffer with cholera while
feeding on alfalfa.
When it is remembered that a ton of
corn is to be hauled to town, and for it
less than a ton of coal hauled back, it
will be apparent that corn is much the
cheaper of the two on a farm a few miles
out. This test of actual value and of
cost should determine the course to pursue.
A Thief Detected.
"I'll tell you how I ran down a thief
recently," said the man in the Lewiston
police station. "I lost $80 in money. J
did not say a word. I did not even tell
my -wife. I hardly told myself. The
other day, two years after the occurrence,
a "woman in my neighborhood said: 'By
the way, did you ever find out who stole
your $80?' I looked her in the face and
said: 'I never did until just this minute.'
She turned as pale as a ghost, aud
the reaylt was that ?be paid me $80 aud
interest e.n the same for two years." '
HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
EGG SCALLOPS.
Boil five eggs three minutes; -when
cold, remove the shells, and chop
the eggs up roughly. Have ready a teacupful
of mashed potatoes, and one of
well-boiled rice; mix thoroughly together,
add a teaspoonful of vinegar, the
same of "Worcestershire sauce, pepper,

Mix well, then put into scallop
shells, if you have them; if not, any gem
or muffin pans will do. Sprinkle bread
crumbs over the top, and a few bits of
butter, and bake to a light brown.?
Housekeeper.
VEAL PIE.
Cut a breast of veal small, and put it
in a stew-pan with hot water to cover it;
add to it a tablespoonful of salt, and set
it over the fire; take off the scum as it
rises; when the meat is tender turn it
into a dish to cool, take out all the small
bones, butter a tin or earthen basin or
pudding-pan, line it with a pie paste, lay
some of the parboiled meat in to half fill
it; put bits of butter the size of hickorynuts
all over the meat; shake pepper
over, dredge wheat-flour over until it
looks white, then fill it nearly to the top
with some of the water in which the meat
was boiled; roll a cover for the top crust,
puff paste it, giving two or three turns,
ana roil it 10 nearly Jian an men imcKness;
cut a slit in the centre and make
several small incisions on either side of
it; lay some skewers across the pie, put
the crust on, trim the edges neatly with
a knife; bake one hour in a quick oven.
A breast of veal will make two two-quartbasin
pies; half a pound of nice corned
pork, cut in thin slices and parboiled
with the meat will make it very nice,and
I very little, if any, butter will be required
i for the pie; when pork is used, no other
salt will be necessary.?Prairie Farmer.
WHIPPED CREAM.
Any good rich cream will easily whip
j to a froth, and when once prepared may
J be kept in a cold place till wanted. As
J long as it remains sweet it will not sepaj
rate or go back. Even after it sours it
| often remains stiff, so it is no test of its
sweetness ior it to remain so. j-ure
cream from the milk of an Alderney cow
is usually too rich to whip well, and a
little water must be added to it. Try it
Grst, and if it seems rich and heavy,likely
to turn buttery with whipping, add a
very small portion of water to a certain
part, and try to whip that. In whipping
cream skim off the beaten cream as it
rises, and rest it on a seive to drain.
There will always be a little liquid in any
cream that will not turn to froth. This
is excellent in coffee. Pile the whipped
cream in a bowl, and set on the ice till
needed. It makes an excellent dessert
sauce, <ind is a delicious addition to the
top of a cup of chocolate, or to a cup of
breakfast coffee. There are few better
dishes for dessert than charlotte russe,yet
the average housekeeper dreads this dessert,
because she is not accustomed to
whipping cream. In the city some trouKin

rich enough to whip well, but there can
be none in the country, as the cream from
the milk of an ordinary cow will easily
whip to a froth. A dish containing the
cream to be whipped had better be set in
j a pan of snow or cracked ice to facilitate
the process. This is necessary to success
in summer, and a wise precaution in winter.?New

They caught the animate, which snarled
and bit viciously, and then started for

reality a pair of cub wolves, and after

Speculating On Misfortune.
i Business is business, no doubt, says
Alfred Trurable, in the New York JV?0?,
but I question if there could be anything
more unscrupulous and morally criminal
than the alacrity with which many druggists
jump up the prices of medicines
whenever a phenomenal demand for
them arises. They claim the right to an
incredible profit on prescriptions, and
they want to levy the same profit on
ready-made drugs. They say that it is
costly to compound a prescription, and
calmly extort from the sick the same proportion
of profit for quinine powders
that they scoop out of a jar, or pills that
they buy at the factory by the cask.
There was a popular riot once in Paris
on this very account, and the Government
stepped in and filed the teeth of these
sharks. Everybody appreciates the value
and the merit of a good druggist, just as
he does that of a good doctor, and nobody
-with a grain of reason in his composition
is likely to grudge the reward
of his services to suffering humanity.
But when the druggist undertakes to
speculate on general misfortune it is a
very different matter. The doctor does
not double his fees during an epidemic.
On the contrary, the doctor treats many
patients out of pure humanity who will
never, he is well aware, compensate him.
Professional honor and a sense of duty
are his motives. I believe druggists
claim to be professional men, too. There
are a good many of them who would
just now profitably extract a lesson from
the doctor's code of honor in professional
practice.
TVliy "We Are Right-Handed.
Primitive man, being by nature a fight
Ing animal, fought for trie most part at
first with his canine teeth, his nails and
his fists till in process of time he added
those early and natural weapons the
further persuasions of a club or shillelah.
And if you fight you soon learn to protect
the most exposed and vulnerable portion
of your body. Or if you do not,
natural selections manages it for you by
killing you off as an immediate consequence.
To the boxer, wrestler, hand-to-hand
combatant, the most vulnerable portion
is undoubtedly the heart. A hard blow,
well delivered on the left breast, will
easily kill, or, at any rate, stun, even a
strong man. Hence from an early period
men have used the right hand to fight
with, and have employed the left arm
chiefly to cover the heart and to parry a
blow aimed at that specially vulnerable
region. And when weapons of offence
and defence supersede mere fists and
teeth, it is the right hand that grasps the
spear or sword, while the left holds over
the heart for defence the shield or buckler.
From this simple origin, then, the
whole vast difference of right and left in
civilized life takes its beginning. At
first, no doubt, the superiority of the
right hand was only felt in the manner
of fighting. But that alone gave it a distinct
pull and paved the way at last for
the supremacy elsewhere.?Journal of
Health.
Cigar-Box "Wood.
"Over 20,000,000 cigars are manufactured
every day in the United States
alone," said a prominent dealer the other
day, "and this enormous number requires
in the neighborhood of 400,000 boxes
for their keeping. Consequently there
are over 200 factories in the country turning
out boxes as fast, or faster, than
cigars are made to fill them. And it is
surprising what an extensive and expensive
plant is required for the making of
cigar boxes. A complete box-maki?g
plant is a planing mill, silk spinning mill
and a printing establishment combined.
Besides putting the pieces of wood together,
a fully equipped factory weaves
and fixes up its own silk ribbon wrappers,
and does its own printing. The
wood of which these boxes are made
t if?;? r\
come irurn meiitu, ^cuuai iuucuku auu
the West Indies. The manufacturers use
very little besides red cedar, and that
kind of timber is rather scarce in this
country. They buy the wood for these
boxes in large heavy logs, and cut them
up to suit themselves. Only the cheaper
grades of boxes are made from poplar
cut in the West, which is afterward
stained to imitate the red cedar. But the
only real good wood for packing cigars
is the cedar which comes from Mexico,
Central America and the West Indies.
The cedar wood has a peculiar pungent
odor, which adds very much to the taste
and flavor of a good cigar.?St. Louis

Some womeu will take a dose or so of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
expect to feel well immediately. True,
some do find marvelously speedy effects
from its use, but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in a day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow
in their progress, and must be cured,
if at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use of the
" Favorite Prescription " for a reasonable
length of time will cure all those
chronic weaknesses, irregularities and
distressing derangements with which so
many females are afflicted. But the
