Plum Cureulio.
As it is duriug this season oft ho year that
this scourged the delicious plum com
mits Its greatest depredation, there
■till remains opportunity to try tho reme
dy of Mr. John S. Fitzhugh, ol Texas, as
detailed in JJ ane and Farm, lie says rub
the bodies of the trees with common soft
soap,slightly diluted with warm watffi'.
This, on his own discovery that the cur
culio beetle does not fly up into the trees
as generally believed, hut that it crawls
up the trunk. This should be done about
the time the trees are ready to oast their
flowers, and to meet th * appei ranee of the
young fruit: but it is by no means certain
that the beetle Is not constantly deposit
ing its eggs in the plum m long as there
are green fruit upon the trees.
If so. the fruit yet uupierced may be
saved if it is true that the insect crawls
up the trunk instead of flying. As at
tention is now called to this matter we
hope others will make close observation,
•with the view or verifying or refuting the
theory of Mr.Fitzhugh.

Painter Try This.
A few days ago we looked oo at a pain
ter In his vigorous efforts but slow prog
ress In removing an old crusty coat ol
paint from an immense iron door shutter.
His method was to soften it with a small
flame from burning alcohol or other
combustible fluid, issuing from the snout
of a tin can, and then chiseling it off. It
was slow, difficult work Imperfectly exe
cuted. Thinking to do him a favor l>y
shortening his labor, we suggested the
following: Black three pounds of quiok
lime in water and add one pound of pearl
ash making the whole Into the consistence
of paint, whioh put on in the same way.and
let it remain from twelve to fourteen
hours. The old paint will then be easily
scraped off.
But be said “no, I will get on this way,
though it is a hard job and takes time.”
Herbert Spencer says the primitive man
Is very loth to change his habits and cus
toms, and that it is difficult to introduce
any new thing among the masses even in
civilized societies.
To Break lip a Hitter.
Never under auy consideration scare
your fowls, even should they be found in
the flower bed, for fowls and flowers
should be kept separate to begin with, and
always treat your birds gently.
Alltbat is needed is imprisonment in a
strange place. A few days’ rest in this
way does the fowl good, and sne will re
turn to her laying greatly benefltted. Bear
in mind that this is an effort at repioduo
tion, and this very obstinacy marks a first
class sitter which you prized so highly
early in the season. Besides this, the
rough treatment is liable to cause perma
nent Injury, and the disabling of even
sne choice fowl will make a difference In
your feelings that outweighs all pecuni
ary considerations, it you are fit to own a
domestic animal of any kind.
This question depends for an answer so
much on the circumstances of the soil as
not to admit of a verv dclinite answer.
Mr.Schell, of Little Kalis, N. Y., esti
mates that tho land iu pasturage and
requisite for the support of a cow is three
acres; an I this is the estimate of Mr.
Carrington for modern good dairy r&rma
in England. In Belgium ten acres or
land support* two cows, one heifer, and
sne yearling calf, but when the calves are
sold off young ami cows in full milk only
are kept, the proportion is to cows to
acres. Coleman estimates three acres
f pasturage as requisite for a cow in
Berkshire county. Mass., while in some
townstw ißcresare sufficient.
Mr. Farrington, in the report or the
American Dairymen’* Association, thinks i
•n nn average 4 acre* are required per 1
now for summer and winter keep; while
the late Prof. X. A. Willard, though that
in Herkimer county, N Y., V/i or 2 acre*
of pasture per cow would answer, and in i
lone exceptional cases 1 acre. Dr. Tefft,
President or tbo Illinois Dairymen’s As- '
aociatlon. recently lmtorrued the writer
that in Illinois he considered from to
'A acres about what would be required.
Tne doctor is a practical farmer and is
the owner of a very line dairy, but bis
statement seems a li< tie wild when we re
fer to the fact that Mr. Lord, an English
dairyman, keepe 100 cows on 300 acree,

Second plowing: Use same sweep, the

Third plowing: In the same way;

Cotton only requires distance one wa v.
Mr. Dickson has made on some acres

In wet weather cotton with most man

The higher the latitude where corn will
ripen before frost, the thicker it may be
planted, and the more it will make, other
things being equal.
Never put m .re than 100 stalks to the
bushel ol corn the land ought to make.
Two thousand stalks of corn to the
acres are enough for this county (Han

I have made 1 bushel of corn to every 52
stalks in the Held.
Turn in the weeds, grass, peas and clo
ver. ami make the land mellow.
Plow deep, and cultivate shallow, and
you will have no trouble in growing
crops.
Clay lands will bear tho same treat
ment as sandy lands, and with less diffi
culty.
No matter the color of lands, or
whether sand or clay, keep up a full sup
ply ol vegetable mold; break deep before
planting; cultivate lightly—the result will
bo good.
In the distance 1 give, 7by 3 feet, there
are‘2l square feet to eaon stalk et corn. If
tnere is enough soluble matter in that
space for two. or even three ears, one sr.iik
will take it up; but if there is only mat
ter enough for one ear of corn, and you
put two stalks,and wateris scarceat ear

that oueear.
If it is a dry year, thin plantings will
always make the most.
Four disi inct errors keep planters from
waking good corn crops; first, not keep

plowtug too shallow in preparing for the
crop; tmrd, planting too thick; fourth,
cullivaiin 2. too deep.
Keep your land in good heart.
To manure the land with peas, sow the
peas the Ist of July. Drop the peas and
guano in every third furrow, as you break
the land. If a good crop be made, feed off
with stock—otherwise turn under.
The true policy is to secure the greatest
amount of vegetable mold you can accu

Avoid permanent manures. Use the

Whkatkn Grits.—A recipe for the
preparation ot this cereal, sometimes
known as “cracked wheat,” has already
beou given in this series. The steam
cooked is said to require no previous
soaking; but all varieties are made more
palatable and nutritious by lying in cold
water for some hours before they are
cooked.
Breakfast Bacon.— Boneless break
fast bacon, usually dubbed “English,” by
courtesy, is for sale at every grocer’s. It
is an inevitable adjunct of the English
breakfast and a valuable appetizer, espe
oiallA on enervating spring mornings.
Slice it smooth and thin,and fry in its own
fat until clear and ruffled at the edges.
What some people call “crisp bacon” is
overdone and ruined. Drain off' the fat and
serve dry on a hot dish.
Boiled Egos.—Wash them clean and
lay ia warm water until you are ready to
put them on toe breakfast table. Have
them ready, in an egg boiler or other ves
sel water that is actually on tho boil.
Change the egg 6 into it and instantly ex
tinguish the spirit lamp beneath or take
from the tire. Cover the vessel closely
and wrap a thick cloth about it to keep in
the heat. Leave the eggs in the water
six minutes, than transfer to cups or
glasses. Eggs cooked thus are of uniform
softness throughout, ami far more whole
some than wheu boiled fast, long enough
to cook the whites into indigestible tough
ness, leaving tue yolks liquid. Eat from
the shell once, and you will never again
prefer to empty them into glasses.
Waffles.—One quart or milk, one
quart of sifted flour in which is mixed one
even tenspoonful ot tine salt, three tahle
spoonfuls of melted buM*-r, half a yeast
cake, dissolved tn warm water, two eggs,
one teaspoonful of sugar. Sift flour, salt
and sugar into a bowl, make a hole in
tue middle and pour in the milk and but
ter. Work down the flour from the siffis
until all is smoothly mixed in, then add
the yeast, beaten in thoroughly. S< tto

salt, nutmeg, summer savory, or sweet
iriarj iiam and a cautious sprinkling of
minced onions. Beat twoeggs ligot and
work up with the mass. Tress hard into

upon the meat and set in a dripping nan
ot boiling water to conk slowly for an
hem and a quarter. Lay a weight on the
surface when it is done and let it get per
fectly cold before turning out. "Cut in
perpendicular slices.
Sardines on Toast.—Take the sar
dines from the box; lay on solt paper to
absoro the fat, pressing another sheetof
paper on them. Have triaugles of deli
catelr browned and buttered toast on a
dish: lay a sardine on each, and garnish
witn she- and lemon.
Cocoanut Cake.—Two cups of pre
pared flour, one heaping cup of powder, and
sugar, oalf a cup of butter, half a cup of
milk, three eggs, one grated cocoanut,
mixed with a cupful of powdered sugar,
and left to stand two hours. Rub butter
