V, 'L * ItiRICULTUlttL. ftlSTpiretty well demonstrated that j**| f»r theme engaged in stock-raising a lib- pral allowance of turnips or ruta-bagas '&{ " fed each day is profitable. « ! THE area under cultivation in Great Britain in 1882 was 32,500,000 acres. ^ ; • Oi this 3,500,000 awes welre under wheat culture, being 500.000 acres less than between 1867 and 1877. STATISTICIAN J. R. DODGB calculates that the country loses nearly 5,000,000 sheep each year--mostly on account of dogs. Exposure to storms and cold - weather in the West kill a great many, and Southern thieves take some. Scab, foot-root, paper-skin, dysentery, and "scarcity of grass" are also destructive. IN bean-growing districts the crop is now mainly harvested by a machine ^ drawn by a single horse, which cuts the stems of the beans just below the surface, leaving the crop standing. It greatly decreases the labor of harvest­ ing and saves the bean stems and leaves from being mixed with dirt, as in the old method of hand-pulling. ,A VIRGINIA sheep-breeder, who pre- ? fers Shropshire downs, had ninety lambs from sixty-seven ewes, and the > previous year he had 121 lambs from eighty ewes, raising 114 of „the lambs. The secret of his success is that he never allows a ewe to breed before she is 2 "years old, and he disposes of her when she reaches the age of 6 years. A LOT of twenty hogs which had been kept on grass during the summer were turned into narrow but yet sufficiently roomy quarters near a sorghum-mill and fed nothing but seeds and skim- . mings. They gained five pounds each per day for three weeks. When put in the average weight wad 165 pounds; at the end of the time they had increased to an average of 265 pounds. MR. A. C. HAWKINS, of Lancaster, Massachusetts, has neary 2,000 laying hens and about 200 cocks. During the last two yeaTs he has raised 8,000 chicks per year. The cost of keeping varies with the price of grain; last year it was found to be $1.50 per head. His method of feeding is to give soft, warm food in the morning, auch as boiled small potatoes or turnips mixed with middling* and meat. At noon he gave oats, and at night whole corn, btrley and wheat. BUSINESS FOR BOYS.--A writer in the American Agriculturist says he has a farmer friend who has sixty colonies of bees, a fine flock of light Brahma fowls, and a farm of 120 acres. He has two sons, aged 13 and 16 years respectively, and the elder boy has entire charge of the bees, of which he is very fond. He runs his sections, extracts the honey, introduces queens, divides the bees, and rears queens with a skill which many a veteran might envy. He is already well known. The other takes care of the fowlsj and each of the boys receives a liberal share of the profits of the business. It is a good plan to give the boys an interest in the work , on the farm by allowing them a reasonable share of the profits arising from their labor. Aside from making them con­ tented to stay on the farm it teaches them business and makes good prac tical business-men of them. KEEPING WINTER APPLES.--H. C. Smith, one of the largest fruit-growers in Southern Champaign County,'suc­ cessfully keeps apples in a fruit-house built entirely above the ground. The sides; ends, and roof of the house are doubled, and are made of common sur­ faced boards. The building is simply a house within a house, with a two-foot filling of Rtraw between the walls and roofs. No fire is required even in the coldest weather, and no ventilation is needed except such as is afforded by a six-inch pipe in the roof. The house is as valuable for keeping fruits in sum­ mer as for apples in winter. Mr. Smith has kept Willow Twig and other varie­ ties of apples a whole year in good condition. The apples are put up in bushel boxes, and the boxes packed closely together. There is no patent on the construction of this building, and any person who desires to can make one at a very moderate expense. --Chicago Tribune. EFFECT OF SALT UPON PORK.--Of the effect of food rich in protein in the pro­ duction of pork. Prof. McMurtrie, of the Illinois Industrial University, says: "The increase of protein in pork will improve the quality and render it more nutritious. The lean of meat by reason of the acid reaction it requires and the presence of a small portion of pepsin it contains becomes more tender and di­ gestible by breaking down the myosin; but the methods of preservation may have great influence upon its quality. The digestible albuminoids of flesh are very soluble in solutions of ' salt, and the use of this agent as a. pre­ servative must tend to dim nish the di­ gestibility and the nutritive value to a corresponding extent. The hardening of the fibres by salt also diminishes the digestibility, and hence the flesh should as far as possible be consumed in the fresh, nnsalted condition. On the oth­ er hand, putrefaction is to be carefully avoided. While it is not always the case, it not infrequently happens that virulent poisons of an organic character are developed in the putrefaction of pork, and many of the fatal results of its consumption may , be referred to this cause, rather than to the trichinae to which injurious re­ sult of pork consumption are often ascribed." CONVERTING MEAT INTO MANURE.-- The farmers of this age are not igno­ rant of the value of flesh and bones of • animals for manure, yet comparatively few understand how to compost animal matter without loss of nitrogen, and, in the case of deceased animals, risks of infection. A comjjost heap contain­ ing animal matter not diseased, such as immature calves, etc., may be made as follows: First spread a layer of vege­ table matter and earth--soil, muck, and eods are a good mixture; on this place a layer of animal matter, over which sprinkle lime and then soil; after this ;m.ay come a layer of yard or stable ma­ nure ; then lime, and so on until the lieap is finished. The handling of ani- jnals that have died from disease is full of danger, and the usual disposition of such carcasses is hurrying them. M. Pasteur, it seems, has proven to his sat- isfation that the burial of diseased ani­ mals does not destroy the germs of dis­ ease or obviate the chances of infection to any animals that may chance after­ ward to feed on the ground above where the body of the diseased animal was buried. Mr. Girard, another (French scientist, claims that diseased animals may be converted into manure without running the risk incurred by burying them. By his process the icarcases are immersed in oil of vitrol and after a bath of forty-eight hours no (recognizable portions remain. Experi­ ments made in this direction at St. Go- Ibain appeared to prove that the de­ struction of poisonous germs is oom- T ; jplete. It .was showed that 321 kilo­ grams at 60 degrees proof dissolved in ten days nine sheep weighing 204 kilo­ grams. The resulting liquid, mixed with 440 kilograms of coprolites from Ardennes produced 949 kilograms of superphosphate of lime, containing 96 pt r cent, of nitrogen. Thus, by a siftiple pjocess, most dangerous bodies are de­ stroyed and a valuable fertilizer ob­ tained.--Chicago Times. HOUSEKEEPER? HELPS. ' I^L IF nutmeg is grated and mixed with the ginger in hard ginger-bread, a piquant flavor is given to it. ONE way to cook summer squash is to cut it in slices about an inch thick and boil in Baited water, using just as little as will answer. When done drain it well and without jnashing; serve it with butter, and pepper, and salt. PEACH BUTTER is a delicate and de­ licious addition to any meaL Boil the peach peelings for an hour, having wiped the skins with a clean c'.oth be­ fore removing from the peaches. After they have boiled an hour, 6kim out the tough part, which has not dissolved, and put the peaches in the juice that is left; let them cook until soft, adding sugar to suit taste. POTATO STEAK.--Take one pound of large and tender steak, free it from all bone and gristle and scatter over it bits of butter, salt and pepper, a little sa<?e and finely chopped onions, over which a little boiling tarragon or common vinegar has been poured; over that spread a thick cushion of mashed pota­ toes, well seasoned with salt, fresh but­ ter, and milk. Jioll the steak very tight­ ly, with the potatoes inside, fasten with strong tape and put it into a baking pan with a large cupful of beef-tea stock or gravy, into which has been placed half a - wine glass of port wine. Serve with a rim of mashed potatoes' and watercress as a garnish. CHICKEN CREAM.--Pound the white flesh of a fowl into a pulp, pass it through a horsehair sieve, put it back into the mortar, and work into it the the yolks of three or four eggs and a gill of cream ; flavor with pepper, salt and grated nutmeg, and, if liked, a sus­ picion of shallot. When the mixture is perfectly amalgamated, butter a plain mould, arrange thin slices of truffles at the bottom and sides of it by pressing them on the butter, then put in the mix­ ture, which should only half fill the mould. Tie a piece of paper on the top, place the mould into a saucepan half filled with hot water, and steam it for an hour and a half; servo with truf­ fle sauce. • Truffles may be omitted al­ together, and the dish served with to­ mato sauce. FRIED OYSTERS.--Drain the oysters in the colander; sprinkle over pepper and salt, which mix well with them, and put them in a cold place for fifteen or twenty minutes before cooking. This is marinating them. When ready to cook, wipe dry and roll each one first in sifted cracker-crumbs, then in beaten egg mixed with a little milk and sea­ soned with pepper and salt, then in the cracker-crumbs again. Throw them into boiling-hot lard (as you would fry doughnuts), first testing with a bit of bread to see if it is hot enough. As soon as they assume a liglit-brown col­ or they should be drained and served immediately on a hot platter. Oysters should not be fried until the persons at table are ready te eat them, as it takes only a few minutes to fry them, and they are not good unless very hot. Atireat French Detective. The terror of the Paris evil doer is five feet in his stockings. His cato de naissance declares him to be 48 years old, but he looks younger, although the close cropped auburn beard is streaked with gray and his forelock has been taken of! by time. He lias candid blue eyes, scarcely concealed by rimless glasses, a straight nose, and a well-form­ ed mouth, with a magnificent set of toeth. The appearance of M. Mace is a decided contradict ion tot he preconceived idea of a detective. The first floor room in which he sits plainly shows, however, the owners profession. The faded photographs on the walls, the portrait of criminals, the keys, the black velvet mask of Mme. Legras, with a large glove which belonged to the same in­ teresting personage, go to make up a veritable museum of evidence by which crime may be traced to its primary clause. The «ame remark would apply to the objects that literally crowd the shelves of an enormous cupboard with glass doors behind the comfortable arm­ chair of the Paris chief of public safety, repellant fac-similee of individuals of both sexes, a yard or so of whip-cord, a small and murderous-looking steel ham­ mer, little wooden trays filled with false coins, a formidable though miniature ar­ ray of burglars' tools in tiny ivory boxes not unlike those used for rosaries, a reduced model of the gallows flanked by another one of the guillotine, these are but a hundred part of the bric-a- brac of crime that stares at the visitor in this melodramatic cabinet. They are 'some of the pieces de conviction which M. Mace has obtained at the yearly sale. "They'll be nice little mementos of the past when I retire, which I mean to do shortly," says M. Mace, as he points them out and clamly tells the tale con­ nected with them. "I mean to grow roses and do a little bit of fishing," con­ tinues the custodian of Paris safety. "After thirty years of hard work, dur­ ing which I have not had time to read a novel, I think I am fairly entitled to a holiday for the remainder of my life." --Paris Xews. Truly Terr.blc. "See here, Snooks, why is El Mahdi like the dividends announced by new- mining corporations, and money made in the autumn ?" asked Tudarnsharp of his friend. "Give it np. Why is he?" said Snooks. "Because he's a False Prophet." "Well, but. I don't see " "Why, ain't tiie mining dividend which is only wade to sell the stock, a false profit?" "Ya-a-as." "And ain't the autumn gains a Fall's profit?" "True, alas, too true," sighed Snooks mournfully. "If, in my explanation you find any faults, prove it," cried Tudarnsharp triumphantly. "Enough, enough! exclaimed Snooks, with a wild gleam in his eyes, and he was a hopeless maniac from that hour. He Didn't ( are. Wm. M. Evarts, preceiving a spirit of nil admirari to be inherited by a son and to be growing to a harmful extent, set out to correct the evil tendency by remonstrance. "My son, why are you* so. indifferent? Whenever you are spoken to about this you always say: 'I don't care.'" "Well, father," his Bon replied, "I don't Are if I don't care." A WHISKY saloon in New York is named "The Morgue." SUGGESTIONS OF YAULE. MIRRORS with plush frames aire now hung flat against the wall., Some of the newest are embroidered in gay bunches of flowers, not painted. MARBLE floors are going out of style for halls. They are being superseded by hard wood in several harmonious colors, laid in some pretty design. LACE curtains are not fashionable ex­ cept for bedrooms. They then have a lambrequin of dark green or dark red. which colors harmonize with almost everything. IF a Ixnlstead creaks at each move­ ment of the sleeper, remove the slats and wrap the ends of each in old news­ paper. This will prove a complete silence, and is well worth the trouble. SPONGES which are to be used in the bath-room may be softened by boiling for a few minutes in three waters. Af­ ter each time of boHing rinse it in cold water, and put on the stoVe again in a pan -of cold water. ONE way to prepare onion flavoring for a vegetable soup is to take a large onion, remove the outer skis, then stick cloves into the onion and bake it until it is nicely browned. The peculiar flavor thus gained is relished by the epicure. BEFORE beginning to iron, sprinkle the table plentifully with waterand lay on the ironing blanket. This will hold it firmly in place and prevent all wrink­ ling and shoving about. Never try to iron with a blanket having wrinkles or bunches. ; AN economical and appetizing way to cook very small potatoes is-to first wash and scrape them well, boil them, and the instant they are done drain off the water, dry them off, and then in the kettle, right with them, make a milk gravy. This is a nice dish for breakfast or supper. THERE is no purifier like fresh air; and the whole house, every room in it,* whether it has been used or hot, should be opened every day. Many housekeepers who are faultless in every othar respect neglect the proper airing of the house, and the germs of disease are developed, and sickness which can not be accounted for overtakes the fam­ ily. FOR a nice rice pudding take one cup of boiled rice, a pinch of salt, one pint of milk, one tablespoonful of corn­ starch ; let them boil; add yolks of two eggs, beaten with a cup of sugar and a teaspoonfnl of lemon essence; place in pudding dish. It will bake in a few minutes. Beat the white of two eggs with two heaping spoonsful of sugar; spread over the top; let it brown. THERE is no reason why underdone meat should be considered more nutri­ tious than that which is moderately and properly cooked, with all its juices pre­ served. The chemical elements of un­ derdone meat are not sufficiently acted upon by heat to be either readily di­ gested or assimilated. Unless a physi­ cian orders raw or partly cooked meat for some special dietie reason, it is far better to give an invalid well-done meat, or that which it only medium rare. VARIOUS are the dishes that can be made of the oyster; here is one not very well known: Take a small loaf of bread; cut off a slice from the top; then, with a 'spoon, reiaove the inside of the loaf, leaving the crust nearly but not quite an inch thick; make a very rich oyster stew; pour a little into the loaf to moisten; then put in a layer of oysters; then of bread caumbs well salted and peppered; put the top crust on, and set it in the oven in a drip­ ping pan; wet the crust with the yolk of an egg or with sweet milk in which you have put a little sugar; serve hot; let it remain in the oven &qm fifteen to twenty-five minutes. Boys, be Systematic. No great work was ever accomplished without system. Did you ever stop to consider how much time is lost in this world for lack of system? A house­ keeper will for lack of system fool away the morning hours and dinner time comes before the breakfast dishes are w ashed, simply because half a dozen things are under way at the same time, and no one thing accomplished. You sometimes ask a young man whom you know ought to have plenty of leisure, why he did not do vsuch and such a thing, only to be answered: "I didn't have time." Why did he not have time ? He was idling with a few friends, may­ be, telling stories or what may be worse, doing nothing, and before he is aware of it his spare time was up--it had been wasted. You have no idea how much work can be accomplished in a day if there is only system and appli­ cation. A few moments work at a cer­ tain time each day on some special ob­ ject will accomplish that object before the worker is fairly aware of it, and at the same time will not interfere with the regular duties of the hour. Every moment is precious, and under some systematic plan can be utilized for busi­ ness or pleasure. The merchant who does business in a slip-shod way is not the man who succeeds. The mechanic who only works to kill time and lacks system in what he does is the one who always plods along in the same old rut. No matter how hard may be your work it can be made much easier by taking advantage of every minute of time and systemizing your operations according to the time you have and the work on hand. Yon can't let up on a job begun without danger of complicating affairs and increasing your work. You can't attend to half a dozen different things at the same time without slighting all of them, The only sure plan of success in life is to systemize your every action FO that every move counts toward the object you would accomplish--Peck's Sun. Fiilly Prepared for II. "It is my duty to inform you," said the superintendent of a New England railroad, as one of the train conductors entered his presence, "that the salaries of all train men are to be cut 10 per cent, with the beginning of the month." "Yes sir," was tho calm reply. "I aip glad you take such a cheerful view of the situation." "OIL, I've been expecting it for six months past," said the conductor. "I've put all my real estate in my wife's name, clapped a chattel mortgage on all my personal effects, and raised $200 on a bank note which the indorser will have to pay. Make the old cut 30 per cent, if you want to, for this is the only time in my life I've been in a position to beat my creditors."--Wall Street News. THE soldiers of the salvation army sing the device; "If you cannot get in at the golden pate, climb over the gar­ den wall." This looks lik,e beating the devil around the stump. Apart from the awkwardness of the undertaking the salvation lassies had better look out that St. Pefer does not pep] er them with bird shot. Per the Boya. Two men stood at the same table in a large factory in Philadelphia, working at the same trade. Having an hour for their nooning every day, each under­ took to use it in accomplishing a defi­ nite purpose; each persevered for about the same number of months, and each won success at last. One of these two mechanics used his daily leisure hour in working out the invention of a machine for sawing a block of wood int o almost any desired shape. When his invention was complete, he sold the patent for a fortune, changed his work­ man's apron for a broadcloth suit, and moved out of a tenement-house into a brown 6tone mansion. The other man --what did he do? Well, he spent an hour each day during most of a year in the very difficult undertaking of teach­ ing a little dog to stand on his hind feet and dance a jig, while he played the tune. At last accounts he was working ten hours a day at the same trade and at his old wages, and finding fault with the fate that made his fellow workman rich while leaving him poor.

Morrison (the explorer of New Guinea) with a reliable chronometer, acting upon the advice of Mr. R. L. J. Ellery, the Government Astronomer, two Waltham watches were, however, pro­ cured for Mr. Morrison instead. These were kept at the Melbourne Observa­ tory for a fortnight, and thoroughly and carefully tested, and were pro­ nounced by Mr. Ellery, at the end of that time, to be better suited for Mr. Morrison's requirements than any chronometer"--Extract from the M9lbourne*Age. Cactuses In Winter. The reason why so many fail to bloom their cactuses satisfactorily is because they do not treat them proper­ ly during winter. By their structure the cactuses are especially adapted to a long season of drought, and in a dry time they take their rest, the same as our plants do during the winter. In our treatment of them wo must imitate their natural conditions, and during winter keep them dry, not so dry that they will shrivel, but they will rarely need any water. Of course, they must l>e kept in a warm place, and where they will not get near the freezing point. In spring, when they start to grow and bloom, they should be freely watered. The exceptions to this treat­ ment are the Epiphyllums, Crab's Claw Cactuses, and the Bat-tail Cactus, Ce- reus ilagelliformis.--Floral World. No Harks. Mr. T. M.

Said a German priest to a brother passenger of a worldly turn, as they gazed across the water at nothing in particular: "What! you can't read? Then you've lost a quarter of your life.

"Well, then, I guess you're in a fair way to lose the whole of your life," said the world ling, as he struck into a magnificent overhand stroke and headed for the life raft.--Boston Post. « The Bent Protection.

Having Passed Through the War, an Old Soldier Conquers One Enemy More. Kindling with enthusiasm as ho recalled the jrreat struggle of twenty years ago, Capt. J. R. Sataford, of Newark, who raised Company D of 33d N. J. Zouaves, and went to the front with them, said to a transient companion one lay last sumner: "Yes, I was in eig-lit of the fiercest battles of the war; Seven Fines, Malvern Hill. Sav- «#e Station, Missionary Kidgo, and H.irrison's Landing are in the list. I started to go with Sherman to the cea, but my right leg was shattered by a ball at the first en­ gagement atter the great march began.

The 8ecret of Their Unusual Vigor Ex­ plained and How It Can Be Acquired. Hhere wu aometlrinff about the sturdy vigor of former generations that challenges the ad­ miration of every man, woman, and child. They were no epicures--those ancient fath. ®rs. They lived simply, and successfully met and overcame difficulties that would have discouraged th;s age and generation. The rigors of the frontier were supplemented by tho savages, wild beaste threatened theii enterprise, and poverty was a oommon com­ panion. Yet they bravely encountered and re­ sisted all those things and laid the founda­ tions of a land whose bless ngs we now enioy. Their constitutions wore strong, their health unsurpissed, and yet they were forved to e\- pose thetm'dvo; continually. There certainly must have been some good and sdcjua e cuu.-e t or all this and for the physical supe­ riority of that age over the present. It is well known to every one oonverfant with the history of that tiire that certain home compounds of strengtheuin? qualities were ueed almost universally bv those pio- no^rs. Tho malarial evils and cxposrres to which thoy were subjected necessitated tliis. Wl en the r bodies b^ime chilled by cold or debilitated by the dauip mists of a now oonn- try they were forced to counteract it by the »ne of antidotes. Medicines were few in those days, and doctors almost unknown. Hence the preparations above re'er. e I to. From among the number, a'.l of which were compounded upon the same general princi­ ple, one was lound to be more efficient and hence far more popular than all the rest. It was well known through the Middle and Western States, and was acknowledged as th? best prepa-.a£on for malarial disorders , and general debility then known. The recipe for compounding this valuable article was handed down from mne family and generation to another, was known to the Harrison family, and is used as, the lasls and general formula for the pros- ' ent "Tippecanoe," the name being suggested by the battle in which Gen. Harrison was engaged. Tho manufacturers have thor­ oughly investigated this subject In Its mi­ nutest details, and are certain that for nial- asbimilathin of food, dyspepsia, tired feelings, general debility, prostrations, malarial dis­ orders, and humors in the b'.ood, nothing can exceed in valuo "Tippecanoe," which was the medicine of our forefathers and seems destined to be the most popular nroparation of the day. "Tippecanoe " is prepared and given to the public by Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co., of Roch­ ester, N. Y., proprietors of the famous Warner^ Safe Cure, which is now the most extensively n?ed of any American medicine. The well- known standing of this house is a sufficient iruaranteo of tho purity and power of this preparations which seeks to banish one of the proa;est banes of the nintecnth century-- mal-ass ir.ilution of food. Any one who ex­ periences trouble of digestion; who feels less vigor than formerly; whose system has un­ questionably •• run down, " and who rcall/.os the necessity ot' some strengthening touie, cannot afford to permit such symptoms to continue. If the farmer finds that his threshing machine docs not separate the gra n lrom tho straw he realizes that some­ thing is wrong and trios to repair the ma­ chine. When the food does not sustain tho life; when it fails to make blood; when it causes the energy to depart and ambition to die, it is a certain sign that' something is wrong and that tho human machine needs re- ptiring, it is not a question of choice; it is a matter of duty. You must attend to your health or your sickness, anl nothing will B; oner overcome these evils than 'Tippeca­ noe," the medicine of the past, a safe guard for the present, and a guarantee of health for the future.
