"A good many husbands ar entirely spoiled by mismanage n eu in cooking, and so are no teiiilei and good. Some womc keep them constantly in hot water others tree/.e them, others pu tln-m in a slew, others roast them and ethers constantly keep then in a pickle. It cannot he sup posed that any husband will b good and tender managed in thi way, but they are really delieiou when properly t rented. ' In selecting your husband you should not bo guided by th silvery appearance, as m buyin; mackerel, nor by the golden tint ns if you wanted salmon. 15.? sun md select liim yourself, as tusti IiHers. Do not go to the narke for him, as those brought to tin loor are best. It is far better t< lave rone than not to learn hoe .o cook them properly. It doei lot make so much difference whai i'oii cook him in as how you cool lim. "See that the linen in which h< s wrapped is white and nicel\ nended, with the required num?er of strings and buttons. Don't teep liim in the kettle by force, is he will stay there himself il uopor care is taken. If ho spliter or fi/./., do not get anxious, none husbands do this. Add n ittle sugar in the form of what onfeotioners call "kisses," out io vinegar or pepper on any ueoiint. A 'ittle spice improve* hem, but it must tie used with udgment. Do not try lum with nything sharp, to soe if he is he oming tei der. Stir him gently lie while, least he stay too long a the kettle and become Mat. and sateless. If thu? treated you 'ill find him very digestible, greeing nicely with you, and ho nil keep as long as you want." The Farmer's Friend. The Yorkville correspondent of tie News and Courier expresses is view a in regard to the i est id hod of fighting the fertilizer rust, in which he says that deep lowing un<l thorough pulveri/.a ion of the soil will hoIvo the rohlem, as follows: Several weeks ago the writer ailed attention to an article from he Southern Cultivator, which learly set forth a sensible and efective plan by which the Fertiliser Truat cannot only be brought o terms, but may eventually be noted, but it is so simple and heap that it is not likely to be ested by one farmer in every mndred in the state. The plan has merit and lots of t and the plan is again brought r? the attention of tlio farmers idtli the conviction that in le?s Imn ten years it will be the sole eliance of a majority of the suees.ful fanners of the State. Tlio subject may best be inlrouccd by recalling a bit of the griculluial history of Kngland t is said to have happened durng the term of Loid Bacon. The armera concluded that they had. cached a point where it was imlossible, owing to the large inreaae in their numbers and the onsequent curtailinant of the vai'ahle tillable land, to make efficiently large crops to support hemselves and families and pay he heavy rents that were oxactad >y the landowners, and there wa? ;reat discontent among tham and justly ?o. At this critical juncture Lord Bacon caused won! to i bo sent throughout the rural disa tricts that if the farmers would r assemble at a certain place on a t certain day ho would lay before s them a scheme by which each i man could double the quuntity of 0 his land. They had unbounded e confidence in Ins lordship and on the appointed day they were there from every section. Whan the . 1 momentous hour arrived the star , speaker took his place on lli? plat 1 form prepared for tho oecasion, I and after a few words of mpathy J ' for the "mudsills" delivered him I 1 self about as follows: "Men, I I ' am hero today for the purpose of * telling you how to increase the quantity iof land that you may 1 have to cultivate and I will pro- ' ceed to do so in a very few words. ' Tho way to double vour land is> s to ploujx'a it just twice as deeo ns bus t>?en your custom and the yield will be twice as great." The statement struck the assemhled multitude as being both r silly and impracticable and many of them were filled with indignation at the supposed lieartlcssncss ! of the great and wise Lord Bacon. But after a sober second thought > . ( many of them decided to test the matter, not because they felt that ' the scheme wan practical, but beI cause of their great confi Unco in ' the man who said the desired end could be accomplished in that way. As a result the yield per acre was twice as great as it had pre i viouslv been and before muny years deep and thorough propara > tion of the land was the rule in England, and it prevails to this timo. In South Cuiolina today the average farmer breaks his land to * 1 the depth of about one and a luilf , to two inches, leaving the ground below that depth as hard as a brick, ami it can only bo made . soluble by the use of the chemicals contained in the commercial fertilizers controlled by the trusts. The remedy is to break the land to a depth of not less than six inches ami to pulverize it thor (Highly with a disc harrow. By tl)iw.method the fanner will have ( not less than twice as much sol- i uhle soil for his plants to feed on i as hy the old method, and lie wil| ; find, as stated in the previous ar i tide, that the yield on the land i thus prepared, without manure, i will he equally as great, acre for i acre, as on that prepared hy the i old method and on which not < less than two hundred pounds of I the hest fertilizer is used per i acre.
