CHNAa- FsmI ZaM.-Nearly every far. mer goes to the nearest village to trade, visit a mechanic, or obtain his letters or papers at least once a week. He often takes a load to marketbut he rarely bnngs one home. ]He can, with very little trou ble, haul a load of material that may be obtained for notbi , and which will be of great benefit to land. Most village people make no use of the ashes produced In their stoves or of the bones taken from the mseat they consume, Scarcely any brewer has any use for the hops that have been boiled in his vats, and the blacksmith hardly ever saves the clippings he takes from the feet of horses, All these materials make excellent manure. A barrel of sha. vings cut from the hoofs of horses contains more ammonia than is contained in a load of stable manure. Applied to land with out preparation they might give no imme. diate results, but they would become de composed in tune and the erops of all kinds would derive benefit from them. They may be so treated That they would produce immediate reaults. By covering them with fresh horse manure they will decom pose very rapidly. They may also be leached in a barrel and the water that cov ered them drawn off and applied to plants. Water in which pieces of horns and hoofs have been soaked is an excellent manure for plants that require forcing. It stimu lates the growth of tomatoes, rosebushes and house plants very rapidly, and emits no offensive odors. A vast amount of fe. tilsing material is wasted in towns that farmers would obtain the benefit of with little trouble. AN AGRiOULTUBAL Hnw. -Young farm ers frequently have no capital to buy a farm, aud are compelled to rent. First, get as good a farm as you can, and for as long a time-not less then five yere. A man must know his ground before he can realize much from it. Second, raise what your soil is adapted to. If hilly and rough raise more stock. Don't try to cultivate side hills; it doesn't pay. Use all the ma nure you can get. Bow clover rye and peas and turn It under, and keep your ground. It will pay you, and it will pay your landlord. A man who keeps his farm up in a good state of fertilization is the kind of a man the latter wants Third, and last, keep a journal. Note down all things connected with your business, time to sow and plant, cost of production, how cultivated, time of gathering, what you realize, etc. Then you compare one year with another, and where you have failed try and remedy next year. Ask advice of every one, but draw your own concluaione. Farm and you will do well. IN treating cows for born Drittieness a stock.raiser in Austria found no good re sulting from feeding bone-meal when the water used from a spring was perfectly soft-that is, without mineral matter. But upon changing them to the water of an. other spring, contalning carbonate, sul phate and phosphate of limo and chlorate of magnesia in small quantities, the effects were as follows: First. The animals dfrank half as much as before. Second. The cows gave more and better milk than before. Third. The worst diseased cows at once began to get better, and this was the first case in which any of them recov ered without removal. Fourth. The oxen showed far better condition than could be previously attained on the best of food and with the most careful attention. Fifth, No fresh cases occurred as soon as the change of water was introduced. Mi. BAmmar, of the National Agricultural Society of France, ant ipates that within thirty years as grer~t a revolution will have been effected by electricity as has been affected by steam in the last thirty years. Among uses to which it has already been put for agrIcultural purpoes he mentioned Defoy's curb bit. for breaking horses, the electrio sieve used in mills, experiments of the use of electric light on plants, the Felbx electric plough and saws-one a cir cular saw, which cuts up whole trunks of trees into planks; the othier a vertical saw, which does the fnest kind of work. Elec tricity is also employed successfully for aitificial mecubation; and also for "Lrymng" eggs. Tus wheat crop this year is unusually heavy, in many sections weighing sixty two to sixty-three pounds per measured busnel. It is also wyhat is called strong wheat, the excess of gluten giving it the increased weight, as gluten is heavier than starch. Trhis large proportion of gluten and heavy weight is, p~robably, the result of the moist, cool weather as the wheat heads were forming, it has been noticed that the best wheat Is alwas grown in cool seasons, and that it is more glutinous on low than on high gravelly soil. During the past Lummner there was moisture enough while wheat was filling to make the highland crop as good in qualiiy as the lowland. AN extensive grower of winter squashes near Chicago keeps the squashes.ini a dry, well ventilated house at a uniform tempe rature of forty-eight degrees. He places them on shelves, two deep, Is careful in handling them, and examines thenm occa sinnally after they have been kept sonme time, and reinoves any that show signs of decay. in this way he is able to keep them over a year, sand take advantage of the market at home or at the East, lie has sold a cargo in Chicago as high as $80 per ton. MuB. DILLON, cif Brighton, Iowa, gives hip experience with sheep In 1880 81. "In 1880," he writes, "I sheared 140 sheep, averaging 2 pounds to a fleece, or $2 in value to a sheep,and raised 00 lambs worth $2.60 per head. In 1881 1 sheared 200 head and sold $812 worth of wool and raised '75 lambs; besides I lost many lambs by the late spring and seave winter. Neither did the sheep shear so heavily as the year previous." BY means of the d&ainage of land the various chemical actions which take place through the action of the atmosphere on the surface soil are carried down to a grea ter or less extent into the subsoil, for as the water-level is lowered the air enters from above to fill the cavities in the soil. By drainage, also, the depth to which roots will penetrate is increased, for roots will not grdw in the absence of oxygen, and rot as soon as they reach a permanent water level. IT is a good idea to select potatoes that are to be planted next Spring as they are dug in the Fall, and then give them good care in the winter. Choose tubers from vigorous growing plants and those that are fully matured. FRoZEN roots, or, indeed, frozen food of any kina, is very pernicious to swine andi all ether stock, as it is apt to scouir thienm badly, and In any event disturbs their di gestion and renders the other food taken into the stomach~ioss nutritive to the adi mals. IT is said that in Elngland a new use has been discovered for damson plums. Farmers are planting quito largely, less for pies than for dyes, it having been as certained that a beautiful color can be obt tained from the ripe fruit D03METI0. PANOY Wonz.-Very handsome. pan. el and plaques are made of plush. A foundation the desired shape and size is out out of pine wood a quarter of an iuch thick. The plush is fitted nicely over this and glued in place. Very thiok gum arabio is good for the pur. pose. The back Is covered with dark cambric of suitable color. These panels upay be long and narrow or nearly square. They are pretty with photo. graphs mounted on the * plush, or satin ribbon fastened across diagonally and painted with delicate flowers. Hand some designs painted in oil on the plush itself are very fashionable. The plaques are made in a similar way, and decora ted as taste may dictate. Among the odd fancies in decorated articles are screens made of matting, and ornamen ted with hand painting. This matting is also used for panels. In brighteniug up the furniture of a roejn, and giving a fresh look to old chairs which have grown rusty, a yard or so of cretonne or plush, if a rich material is desired, goes a greaT ways. A pretty, bright cushion for a cane-seated rocker or easy chair with a narrow, long pillow, covered with the same material, tied on the back with pretty satin ribbon bows, will so change the old affair that one will hard ly know it. ONE of the best omelets we have ever eaten is made after Catherine Owen's recipe: Take the crumb of a slice of bread, soak it in hot milk (cold will do, but hot is bettor), beat up the whites of four eggs to a high froth; mix the bread with all the milk it wdl absorb, no more, into a paste, add the yelks of the eggs with a little salt, set the pan on the fire with an ounce of butter. Let it get very hot, then mix the whites of the eggs with the yelks and bread lightly, pour in the pan, and move about for a minate; if the oven is hot when the omelet is brown underneath set the pan in the oven for five minutes, or until the top is sot; then double half over, and serve. The advantage of this omelet is that it keeps plump and ten. der till cold, so that live minutes of waiting does not turn it into leather, the great objection to omelets generally. IF you nave any doubt in regard to the age of a turkey or any largo fowl, it is a wise precaution to steam it until you can lift the wing from the body with ease. Do notstuff it before steam ing, but two or three stalks of celery may be placed in it, and they will give a delicious flavor to the meat. It is better to use twine than skewers to keep the turkey's limbs in proper place, there is so much danger of tearing the 'skin. It should be the cook's nam to preserve the good looks of the fowl as far as pos sible. If it is well dredged with flour, after it is put in the dripping-pan to roast, and then little lumps of butter laid on, it will help to give it the desired delicate brown. STEAMED arrowroot pudding is a nour ishing dish. Mix two tablespoonfuls of the root with one cupful of milk; stir till it is smooth. Put a pint and a half of milk on the stove in a farina kettle. When it is boiling stir in the airowroot: stir it well, and remove from the fire in two or three minutes. 'When it is cool, not cold, stir in three well-beaten eggs, a heapiig tablespoonful of sugar, and a tablespoonful of brandy. Put it then in a well-buttered mould; ccver it tightly, and let it steam for an hour and a half, When done, turn from the mould on a dish, and servo with raspberry jam. WHirPPED ceifee cream for one who likes the coffee flavor is p~erfectly dtelh elous as a last morsal at a formal dinner or an afternoon lunch. Tiake two oun ces of coffee beans and roast them; while fresh and still warm put them in one pint of rich eroamn, which you have sweotened liberally with sugar. Let -this stand for an hour; then strain it through a muslin cloth laid In a colan decr; dissolve a teaspoonful of gelatine in a little cold milk, and add to the cream; then whip it to a firm froth. The gelatino may be dissolved in a little orange water, or lemon extract if you cheose. A VERY appetizing sauce to servo with broiled mackerel is mnade by melting a little butter, adding the juice of one lemon, and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. This ay be poured over the fish, or served in a bowl and added by each one at the table to his or her por tion of fish. An authority on cooking recommends letting mackerel lie in enough milk to cover it for an hour be fore broiling; this to be (lone, of course, after the fish has been freshened over night in cold water. COLD roast beef is very nice broiled. Cut it into slices about a quarter of an inch thick and have it as rare as possi ble; sprinkle wvith jeopper andl salt andl put it on the gridiron and let it heat quickly; turn it over four times in the same number of minutes, and serve when hot on a dish with melted butter. BAKiNG PowDER BIsomiT,-Into two quarts of flour, sift flue teaspoonf uls of baking powder, mixing it in coienly Rub into this a piece of lard the size of half an egg. Alix with good sweet niiik into a soft .dough, Do not knead. Roll medium thickness. cut out with a his unit-cutter, and bake in a very hot oven. PAINa in the bowels may be mitigated or removed by applying to them rubber bags of hot water,, or foldsi of woolen cloths wrung ot from water as hot as can be borne. The same thing is true of face-ache, ear-aches and of most aches and pains. v mnr good idea for the brightening up of a nursery or play room consists in decoratmng the panels of the (leers by the insertion of brightly colored litho graphs, fitting them into the panels and framing them, if necessary, with a niar row beading of gilding. CoLoRED table-covers for dining. rooms are of linen plush, and are to be had in all colors. The centre is per fectly plain, and the bordering, which is usually deep, is stamped in arabesque, Moorish, or, geometrical designs to harmonize with the latest style in car pets, which is entirely of that character. Fon celery there is a new cut glass dish in the shape of a lily mounted on a siver stand, It is ver-y pretty, and seems to have taken the place of the fish knives and tablespoons among wed ding presents. DOUBLE porliers are no longer in fashion. A single one hanging suspen ded from rmngs upon a po010, is plainly drawn across the doorway or entry to be concealed, and when necessary is looped up at one side. Bou of the window-shades for houses are of fine cream colored linen, up ,a which unconventional desIgns have been Paihted in water colors. They look very well from the interior, but are less efieotive from tbe outide HUMOROU8, I ONic know a young fellow as weut across. Before going he made himself pretty fresh with the inspectors. He wfs a dandy in dress and put out his cigars lively. - Well, by and by that same fellow returns with the ends of his mouth down to, his shoulder. An soon as he struck the pier he kind o' cried that he had "gone broke" on the other side, and when he came to open his trumks he showed a pretty large patch on the places he used to sit down on. His elbows had patches, too, and so had his knees. fis clothes looked as if they had been in arag-icker's bag and beyond a little clean limen he haa nothing in his trunk. He walked on the dock with his ulster over his arm, and the boys kind o' pitied him. Well, the follow got away with a olear $1,800, 'cause he had laces under his patches, in his ulster, and Heqven knows where he didn'6 have them stul'ed. The boys got-clear off the track A Fireman's Fortune. The * Ban Francisco (Cal.) Chronicle," in an articles on the Fire Department of Ban Francisco, gives the following from Asst. Chief Engineer Matthew Brady: "I have been subject to an aggravating pain in my ches0t for over four years. I re sorted to various modes of treatment to obtain relief. I have had my chest terri bly blistered. No physician could tell what was the matter with me. Two weeks igo I commeeced using 3t. Jacob's ul. It has cured we." THnuw died a few weeks ago an old man who may be mentioned hero as Union Reube, For thirty years lie sold his vote as often as there was an election, making no bones about it and accepting the market price without a mirL.ur. One fall, ten or' twelve yeaRs ago, lie wont to the man who had generally bought him and said: "Mr. Blank, I guess I won't sell my vote this time." "You won't ? Why, what on earth ails you, UncleRaube?" "Well, I want to see how it seems to cast a trio ballot once," "You'd botter take the usual two dollars." "No, I guess not; I'll tty it the other way once, even if it kills me." He kept to his resolution and cast a free ballot, but ho didn't feel right over it, and at the next election he insisted on having four dollars to cover arrears. ***"M3lany silly people despise the pre cious, iot understanding it." But no one despises Kidney-Wort after having given it a trial. Those that have used it agree that it is by far the beat medicine known. Its action is prompt, thorough and lasting.

CLAna's Christmas present: Charley wauted to give Clara a Christmas pres ent, but couldn't make up his nund what it should be; so the next time he called lie frankly told her the difficulty under which he wvas laboring. "Want to make me a present, Charley I" Clara exclaimed in well-disguised astonish ment. "Why, Charley, yon forget yourself." Chiarley took tho hint and ofl'ered himself on the spot. One Experience from Many. I have been sick andi miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one seemed to know what ailed me, that I was complete ly disheartened and discouraged. In this frame of mind I got a bottle of Hlop Bit ters and used thecm unknown to my fami ly. 1 soon began to improve and gained so fast that my husband and family thought it strange and unnatural,but when I told them what had happened me, they said, "Hurrah for Hlop Bitters I long may they prosper, for they have made mother well andi us happy."-The Mother. "WHAT's the size of this place?" gravely nsked a Now Yorker, of the coniductor, just after the breakman had sung out "O-pe-Ji-ka" at a southern station, where not a house wvas visible among the pines, except a rambling shed called an "enitinig saloon." "It's about as big as Now York," was the ready answer, "'but it isn't built up yet.. Pure flcod.

The only way that is really good is first to find a brand .of steel that is good, and sultab'e f r the too's to be made 0 ai stick to it. Next fled -by a few trials the lowest heat that will harden it in pure water at 70 0, or ordinary shop tempera ture. If steel Is hardened at the lowest heat, the temper will require very little drawing very little, that Is to a pale straw full straw, or brownish yellow, but not deeper unless for wood working tools with thin cutting edges,whe a full brown may be desirable. File makers use salt water for a hardening bath, because it makes the water more dense and the teeth harder,and ' of course more brittle. bulphurio acid or mercury is sometimes used 'for hardening ' very small tools for cutting and etching C atone. iFor springs the same care should :. be taken in regard to low, even hoating that ii necessary with tools. Pure lard oil is as good and probably better than any of the mixtures that have been tried for the hardening flu.d; burning off may do for drawing the temper or small or thick springs, bait is total y unfit for long or slen (ter ones. Dip the hardened spring into a bath of oil heated nearly to its boiling tem perature; this is the only way to get an v even temper.
