Simmer gently for one hour, then add two tablespoonfuls of rice, simmer ten minutes, add two potatoes cut into dice, and while they are cooking ten minutes longer, make your dumplings. Put a pint of flour into a bowl, add a teaspoonful of salt and a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, moisten this with about ! a gill of milk; the dough must be soft. Form it lightly into bails, drop them on top of the stew, cover the kettle, boil ten minutes, season and serve. MUTTON CLTI.ETS. A way to serve cold mutton is to cut it in nice pieces or ''cutlets'' about half an inch thick. Dip these, after beinc well salted and peppered, in melted butter, and lay thcni aside until cold. Then dip them in egg and bread crumbs, and fry them in a little beef dripping until brown on both sides. Lay each piece on some brown grocer's paper to absorb the grease, arrange on a platter and pour a white saucc over them. This eauce is made by thickening a pint of milk with a heaping tablespoonful of flour, mixed with some cold milk reserved i from the pint. Salt and pepper. The j mutton may be egged and breadcrumbed j early in the day, and at dinner time, after the sauce is made, it will take but a few minutes to fry the cutlets. They should be served very hot. BRAISED BEEF. Take four or five pounds of the round L of beef and season it with salt, pepper, ft a little chopped parsley, and a scant teaIP spoonful of thyme, and tie up compactly, ft Fry out some slices of fat salt pork in a J deep pot and brown the beef in this, | turning on every side, for about half an j I hour. Dredge plentifully with flour, I usiner fullv half a cun; add a wineglass j of vinegar, two clovcs and half a bay leaf. Cover closely and cook slowly two hours. At the end of this time, add one carrot, one turnip and one onion cut in thick slices, also half a pint of hoi water; cover and cook two hours longer, 6immering slowly. Take up the meat, remove the strings, skim all the fat from the gravy, and if not thick enough stir in more flour. Serve the sliced vegetables on the same platter with the meat. Braising is strictly intended to be done in the oven, anu a braising pan is one i with a tightly fitting cover; but in the j absence of such a utensil it may be done j on the outside of the stove, if the pot is j 30 covered that no steam can escape.? i Neu> York Observer.

Loaf mould is valuable fox- many purposes, and is especially so for azaleas, rhododenrons and kaliuius, and if these shrubs are mulched with leaves every autumn they will fill the accumulating mould with fibrous roots and repay the trouble with a thriftier growth and more abundant bloom. All clippings from the shrubbery, old dahlia stalks, potato vines and all rubbish of that kind may be used to advantage on small places by burying it around the roots of trees or shrubs.?Seto York Herald. PLOWING. "When the ground has been well plowed in the fall it is not always necessary lo plow again in the spring before | planting. A good cultivation will stir the soil sufficiently deep for planting and the harrow will work iuto a proper tilth for planting the seed. In addition to the saving of the work by this plan there is the advantage of having the trash buried so deep that it will not be disturbed either in preparing the land for planting or in cultivating. With all cultivated crops it is quite an item to have the soil clean and in a good tilth so that the cultivation can be commenced as soon as possible. Work is always pressing in the spring and it is not only an item to save time but also to get the work done in good season, and with the ground well plowed in advance by using the plow and cultivator a good tilth can be secured with much less work than would be necessary if the ground must first be plowed and then worked into a good tilth, while the results will be fully as satisfactory.?Selraska Farmer.

TTT>V CtVffTTVn OCJiXU>U( Years of experience have satisfied many that the best results from setting hens are obtained -when they are left to themselves. The making of desirable nests is of much importance to successful hatching of eggs; there are various styles ot nests which have met with the very best of results. We have had excellent results by making a nest with two inches of eand for the bottom, then place hay or straw cut short to prevent the hen's feet from catching in it and injuring the eggs; hollow the nest only enough to prevent the eggs from rolling out in front, sprinkle thoroughly with insect powder, then you are ready to give the hen possession. Place her on the nest at: night, and if necessary darken the box by hanging a cloth in front until she sets steadily. Do not forget to feed, water and supply the setting hen with a good dust bath, and 6ee that they are well cared for.

"RAISING HORSERADISH. Here, where horseradish is grown largely tor market, we have deep alluvial soil, free from stone or clay?a good sandy loam. The custom is to raise the crop on the same land year after year, as i-i.~ ?:i.. ?:"i ?# *i | luc auji is UUL coanv uu \n uic iuuucis I that break off and remain, sprouting in I spring sometimes from the bottom of the | furrow "where the plow cut them off in I the fall. We never raise the first crop on sod, but always after other crops. Moisture is necessary, but not a damp soil. We use horse-manure, ten cords per acre, plowed in fall or spring and harrowed well. Bows are three feet apart and setts two feet apart in the row. The setts are obtained in this way: When a crop of radish is gathered in fall the roots are trimmed of "spragles," leading the marketable root ready for Bale; this is done in the field usually, or it can be done under cover and shelter ii toe weamtT ue coia or siormy. i nese small rootlets, one-half to one-fourth inch through, setts for next season's crop, ace kept over winter by burying in the gpouud, where only they will preserve the freshness necessary to perfect growth. A sett is a root three to eight inches long, and should be dropped in a hole made with a crowbar of the right depth to ieave the top of the root two inches below the turface; fill the soil around the [ sett, and Leave it to start, which it will do in four to six w<oeks. This work of planting in spring is sometimes expedited by laying the setts along m every third furrow, and then plowing the soil upon them. The large roots should not be used to propagate from, either by slicing, quartering, or even by planting the crown; the root when grown takes shape from the sett; and a root dug titer one season's growth should be gbdut ten inches long and two Incites through, with the smaller routs (used for setts) at the sides and below.?New York Tribune. PREPARING SOD GROUND FOR CORN. Leading out of consideration the question of plowing sod in the fall, if it is plowed in the spring, it is best done as soon as the ground is in good condition. Sod ground can be plowed earlier than fallow, stubble or corn-stalk ground, and the sod will have none too long to partially decompose before the corn is planted. A good plow for stubble or fallow land is one that, moves the furrow-slice with considerable force, breaking it up; but such a plow is not a fit one for sod ground, for it will leave parts of the furrow-slice lying with the grass up, and other parts standing on edge. The harrow will theu leave many pieces with the grass up, to grow again. The best plow [ for sod is one that turns the furrow-slice completely upside down, and no more, ! without breaking it. Then the plowed ground can be fined without bringing grass to the surface to grow again. Sod requires more work than stubble to put in good condition for the seed, and the loss from planting on sod not -1 4. *1 wen preparcu is greater man uu ^tuuuic. Unless the ground is thoroughly -worked there will be crevices among and beneath the sods, which will aggravate the effects of both drouth and food. The pieces of sod will constantly interfere with cultivation, and if one of these pieces is beneath a hill the corn will likely be torn up by the cultivator. Neither will the sod be so well decomposed and feed the crop. Another reason for careful preparation of the sod is that it is often infested with cut worms and other worms. The more the ground is stirred, the more of these will be destroyed; and planting may safely be deferred until the cutworms have passed their voracious {period and will do little damage. Quite frequently sod ground, and especially clover-sod ground, contains so many cutworms that it is not advisable to plant it until quite late. Only a poor stand will remain. Last spring I allowed a fortyacre clover-sod field to lie a month after it was almost ready for the planter. One of the employes became very impatient, and thought I was wrong not to plant at once, as some of my neighbors had done. But much of their corn was cut off by the worms, and they had only a poor stand, with some hills a month behind the others. "When I planted I had a most, excellent stand and the field averaged eighty nushels, sneuea, per acre, un sod ground thoroughly prepared corn grows so fast that it is safe to defer planting until quite late, and this ground is not apt to be hardened by rains as is other ground.?American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It has been demonstrated that spirits turpentine is one of the best remedies for roup in fowls. Rust and rot do more for the implement maker in winter than wear and tear do in summer. Have coops provided and yards arranged in readiness for the young chicks and their mothers. Do not crowd the fowls, especially as warm weather comes on. Close quarters invited disease. The secrets of large yields always and everywhere are rich soil, good seed and thorough tillage. More attention ought to be paid to the teeth of our domestic animals. They often suffer from neglect. The farm may not yield big profits, but is there any other calling so sure to give a man a living? The fruit orchard wants no fresh and fermenting manures. Give it manure that is well decomposed. The farmer who makes his own pork and beef puts another bond on health and pays himself for so doing. A small amount of easily digested food is preferable to a larger amount that is more difficult of digestion. {3oui? swill is one of the sources of disease in the hog. Much of it is kept until it becomes too acid for even a hog. Cleau earth is a good absorbent for the poultry house, but should be removed without fail before it becomes foul. Use but do not waste or abuse the gifts of nature. She supplies enough for all, if we have the intelligence to use them rightly. It is a great luxury to live on a good road. It pays every one living along a rnnd tn do his share toward makinor it a | good one. When only one ingredient is lacking iu the soil, that one when applied will produce iust as good results as a complete manure would. Use salt as i fertilizer at the rate ol about one barrel to the acre. In some cases double the amount, as a t02>-dressing, would be better. A particular fertilizer may be beneficial on one farm or field and of no value on another, because that particular ini gredient is not needed. A tree planted in a poor, barren soil will not thrive much by filling the hoh i with good earth or manure. It wants good soil and good care. Corn cobs contain more potash than wood.

WORDS OF WISDOM. Hunger and thirst are life, satiety and abundance death. Sorrow is a heavy burden, sadness a heavier, but heaviest is anger. Humor usually tends toward good nature, and everything that tends toward' good nature tends toward good grace. 1 Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. If you do I not hear reason, she will rap your knuckles. Noble examples stir us up to noble actions, and the very history of large and public souls inspires a man with generous j thoughts. : "Whatever anyone does or says, I must be good; just as if the gold, or the emerald, or the purple were always saying this: "Whatever anyone else docs, I must be emerald and keep my color." Laws cannot prevent extravagance; and perhaps it is not always an evil to the public. A shilling spent idly by a fool may be picked up by a wise person, who knows better what to do with it; it is, therefore, not lost. i Dn not, think of vour faults: still less of others' faults; in every person who comes near you, look for what is good and strong; hcnor that; rejoice in it; and, as you can, try to imitate it; and your faults will drop off like dead leaves, when their time comes The Butcher Plant. A fascinating plant now being propagated at the Botanical Garden la Washington, is the "butcher," which kills the insects and such things that it feeds upon by crushing them alive, afterward consuming them at its leisure. This is considered to be ot ail vegetables the one exhibiting an intelligence most neariy approaching that which animais possess. Its apDearance is not impressive save for its peculiarity. Growing aiong the ground it has for leaves little green things snaped like open clam shells, the biggest of them half an inch long, with a row of little spikes around each edge. As you observe the plant, most of the clam shells will be open, waiting for food?each of them a greedy mouth ready to devour anything that may crawl in. Here comes an ant. Perhaps he will walk into one of these pail's of yawning jaws. Yes, there he goes into the big one, attracted by the sugary excretion on inoirlo nf the minature clam shell, which serves for a bait. The victim reaches the middle point between the jaws and comes in contact with six microscopic hairs that grow inside the clam shell leaf and serve the plaut as feelers. Immediately the jaws close with a snap, the two rows of spikes folding over the shut edge of the clam shell, so as to give the prey no chance of escape. If the insect was much bigger and stronger than an ant he would be quickly crushed to death. It may be some hours before the jaws will open again, the clam-shell leaf being occupied meauwhilc digesting the food captured. All the leaves of the plant being engaged continually in waiting for prey, catching it and digestingit, it makes a very good living indeed where bugs are plentiful. In the green houses there are comparatively few insects, however, and so the head gardener feeds his butcher plant from day to day with such delicacies as finly chopped or scraped beefsteak and earth worms cut up, which are devoured with relish. The butcher plant is found in North Carolina, and nowhere else iD the world. Fears are entertained that it will pass out of existence before long, for there is very little of it existing in a wi'.d 6tate and attempts to raise it from seed have not thus far been very successful. A curious thing about it is that it will have regular fits of dyspepsia, if such indigestibles as salt pork or the heads of blue-bottle flies are fed to it. The clam-shell leaves will turn black and die after consumiug that sort of food. One evidence of the intelligence of the plant is afforded by the judgment it exhibits in its diet. If a piece of paper just the size of a fly is introduced between a paii of the jaws they will close greedily upon it, but will immediately open again, the discovery having evidently been made that the capture was not edible.?Globe Democrat. ?---! fl spring i U a necessity with nearly everybody. . rhe ran down, tired condition at tills scaeon is due to Impurities In the blood which have accumulated during the winter, and which must bo ^xpelled If you wish to feel well.
