No influence is more potent in creat- ing'a love of the beautiful in nature, or in bringing a, mind and! soul into close relationship with the Creator, or one that is better calculated to nur- ture and devekvp the kindlier emotions of the humani heart than the care and culture of flowers. 1 The soothing effect: of flowers in the sick room is well known and freely ac- knowledged, and the owner of a well- kept flower garden merits and re- "niw-s the congratulations of allwho it is a duty on the part ofevery' one to beamtit'y' and render attractive the rougher Ixnuions of nature, and_ the proper and tasteful disposition of trees and shrubs, is the most effective means at our command. What so ap- peals to the eye of one in passing, as the presence olfl a bit of brilliant col- or formed by a, bed of even‘the com- monest flowers; and on the other hand, what is more depressing than a farm house destitute of: anything to relieve the barren desolateness of its sur- roundings, even to the uncultivated eye. The outlay for materials is so very small compared with the returns derived, it would seem no one can afford to neglect so important a matter. ’ So far as direct profit is concerned in the way of dollars and cents it must be considered that; the value of prop- erty is often estimated from its ap- pearance, and a presence of flowers, trees and shrubs about a farm house does as much or more» to impress a, prospective buyer with a just idea of its real value than any other factor. Again, the children: are taught the care of such things, which is in it.- self a training school of patient en- deavor, which will. be manifest in all their after lives; The presence of any feature that serves to make: a farm home attrac- tive and beawtiful to others, must have the samel‘ effect on the occupants of the homeu and will help grew”; to restrain the young 1:80pm from de- serting the farm for the cities that do possess and properly vaiue the effect. of such essentials. , NUT TREES. The age at which any nut trees come into bearing depends on the care given to the trees. Some authorities state that fifteen 01' twenty years are nec- essary to bring them into full bear- ing, from the. time the nut is plant- ed. This is. a mistake, as trees that have been well. cared for should. hear a bushel. ofl nuts in ten: years, anzlthe amount will increase rapidly each year after that time. Some may enjoy rais- ing these trees from seed; to be sure, it is rather' a slow process, but it is interesting work. When( planting the nuts, if they' have thin shells, be per- feetly sure that they have not dried out at all. The best plan is to get them as soon; as they ripem and plant them at once, When this is not pos- sible keep then! in moist sand or saw- dust until they can he started. But- ternuts, walnuts, hickorynuts and fil- l‘xerts being hard-shelled will keep in growing condition much longer, but should lw planted in the fall as they germinate ltetter when allowed to _‘__. ‘LA Ic‘mnl' 'Pkn Ullvul\L A" l'Iw-U v â€" - germinate ltetter when allowed to freeze, as that cracks the shell. The fall planting is nature’s own plan, and the nearer we follow her ways the bet- ter results we may expect. Another thing; do not plant. the nuts deep; na- ture drops them. on the surface and gives them a thick covering of leaws in which the dirt catches as. it blows about, then the snow covers all and helps the leaves to decay and form a covering of leaf mould for the tree to grdw in. It is not practicable for any -of us to try to raise all these kinds of nuts, hut select the ones most likely to succeed in. our climate, and by pro- per care and. attention make a success of it. We may not reap the benefit of our labors, but our children will, and theirs after them. HONEST SWEDEN.

It is simply not knowing how to make it that makes it seem impossible. The following rule is plain and sim- ple: First line a number of moulds. a bowl or other deep dish with a thin layer of cake. Thin sponge-cake that has been divided when cold into two1 layers of equal thickness by means of a long. sharp knife is attractive; but halved lady-fingers, or pieces of any plain cake cut half an inch thick may be used to line the dish or moulds. Char- lottes are made with and without tops. [according to taste or convenience; and when the supply of cake is limited. stiff paper may be buttered and laid in the bottom of each mould, cake beiing plac- ed only at the sides. lWhatetver cake is cut away in trimming the forms to shape may be crumbled or apriunkled ov- er the bottom. Fill the forms with whipped cream seasoned with four tea- sprxmfuls of fine sugar and a teaspoon- ful of extract. To make sure that the whipped cream is sufficiently stiff. stir into it lightly but thoroughly with a spoon the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs to each pint of cream. Arrange the top of the forms neatly, or cover them with a layer of cake; and set the charlottes on ice. IBread Puffsâ€"Have some bread dough ready for the oven. and some hot lard in a deep kettle; pull some of the dough quite thin and out it two or three in- ches in length; as these pieces are cut, drop them in the lard and fry like doughnuts These may be eaten hot like biscuit or served in a vegetable dish with a dressing of hot cream seas- oned with pepper and salt. M'hite Cakesâ€"One cupful of . butter. the whites of twelve eggs, four cup- {uls of flour, one cupful of milk, one- half cu'pful of cornstarch and two tea- SpOOIlflflS of baking powder.
