pat one teaspoonful of saltpeter in a

4ad| hili of cucumbers or squashes is
trerp good for the plants and very bad
for the bugs, both striped and black,
which burrow at night in the earth

said to dislike earth treated with salt
peter. This is a remedy which certainly
Would be very useful to the plants, and

When Hem Are Too Fat.
Replying to a correspondent, Farm
and Home says: For your Plymouth
Rock hens which aro excessively fat
and do not give you many eggs, the
best morning feed is a mixture of oats,
wheat, bran, barley and corn in the
following proportions: 20 pounds of
oats, 20 pounds of wheat bran, 20
pounds of barley and 15 pounds of
corn. Mix a portion of this feed with
scalding water every morning, add a
a little salt and pepper, and throw in
all the table refuse, etc., wetting or
scalding the moss just enough so it will
be crumbly. Give them only a little of
' this so they will leave off hungry, and
■ then scatter your dry wheat and oats
together out of doors in the sun, or on
bad days inside in some straw, leaves
or chaff, so they must scratch for it
Give crushed oyster shells, good water,
some green food until grass starts, and
in ten days or sooner your egg supply
will increase.
To Grow House Plants,
The soil must be rich for the perfect
growth of house plants and should be
of a somewhat porous nature, or made
so by tho addition of fibrous soil and
manure. Equal parts of well-decom
posed stable manure and half rotted
turf make a good soil for most plants.
If tho temperature and moisture aro
. right and tho plants do not grow satis
factorily tho application of liquid for
< tilizers, made by dissolving some fer
tilizer in water, will bo useful. It may
%tlso be made by soaking a small quanti
ty of stable manure and watering tho
plants with tho liquid onco a week.
Fuschias should be allowed to rest, with
holding water during Augu-d and Sep
tember if early blossoms aro desired.
They require a good deal of heat, from
50 to 70 degrees, the former at night
.And tho latter in the day-time; and sun
-light is also essential to success,—

Gnpea in Young- Fowl..
p What is called gapes in young fowls is
not a disease, but the gaping or gasp
ing for breath is duo to tho presence of
a parasitic worm in tho windpipe. How
those worms securo a lodgment in the
windpipo is still a mootod quesiton.
But it is supposed that the young chicks
> either pick up tho worms or that they
tho eggs in snails, worms, and
jflnsects eaten whilo feeding about tho
yard. Ono thing is quito certain, and
. that is fowls running on new grounds
aro rarely infected with these parasites.
yWo mean by “new grounds’* those
.where no-fowls have been raised or pas-
■ tured before, or at least for several
Swears previous. For the reasons given,
iptho best preventive is chango of loca
<tion every year, giving tho fowls clean
.and now ground upon which to exorcise
and seek their food. When tho worms
Rave once found a lodgment in the wind
pipe tho only cure is to dislodge the
parasites. This may bo dono with a
' horsehair formed or twisted into a loop
■ and thiust down tho windpipe and
drawn out quickly. It requires some
. skill and considerable experience to re
move tho worms with a horsehair loop.
Still, some poultry raisers do it very
rApidly. P acing tho young chicks in a
i box, then dusting with dry lime to make
I them sneeze, is another way of expelling
tho worms, but it is not always succcss
: ful.—[New York Sun.
Prp<erve tilt* llarnet<i,
A little time used in tho care of the
harness will make it last much longer.
It will also bo much more comfortable
for tho horse if kept soft and pliable.
If breaks aro properly mended at
night of the day in which they occur,
and a rainy day taken two or threo
times a year in which to wash up and
oil the harness, ono set will do as much
work as three or four sets not properly
looked after. The breaks can be easily
mended by riveting the broken strap
i together with copper rivets, supplied
(- with proper washers; or, better still,
| by stitching them together with a
’ proper wax-end.
To oil, take the harness apart, "iA
j after having soaked it for ten or fifteen
minutes in warm water, clean each
strap separately with a brush and warm
water, in which a little sal soda has
been dissolved if the harness is very
dirty. Pl acing the straps on a board
greatly facilitates their cleaning. When
almost dry grease them with neat’s-foot
oil mixed with a little lamp-black
(other oils will answer the same pur
pose, but there are none better.) Leave
the strap hanging in a warm place over
night, and rub off with a woolen rag
all tho oil not absorbed in tho morning.
Then, after being put together, they
arc ready for use. Light harnesses aro
generally washed off with castilo soap
and water. All stitching should be
dono before being greased.—[Farm,
Field and Stockman.
Butter Making-.
Much of tho excellence of butter de
pends on tho salting, and whilo butter
that for any reason is really inferior
cannot bo raised to a grade of excel
lence by the salting, that which other
wise might be classed as good is often
reduced to an inferior grado by the
manner in which it is treated at tho
time of salting. A good deal of butter
is churned to death; that is,
tho churning is continued to gather tho
butter so long after the butter has sep
arated from the milk that it is pounded
into a creamy, pasty condition, exactly
the opposite of what it should be.
A piece of really good butter, proper
ly salted, when cut apart with a bright,
sharp knife, should show two clean-cut,
smooth, and slightly moist surfaces,
without any sign of a mashing down of
tho butter particles, and none of them
should be found adhering in a sticky
mass to tho knife. When a knife is
drawn through a piece of butter and
comes out in such a condition that tho
blade cannot bo soon, no export is
needed to determine its quality.
The two methods now in voguo for
salting butter aro termed brine salting
and dry salting, each of which has its
advocates. Tho former consists in mak
ing tho salt into a solution before it is
used, and in tho latter the solution is
made by adding dry salt to the water
that remains in the butter after most of
the buttermilk is worked out. So far
as the result is concerned the object of
each plan is to surround tho grains of
butter with brine, until enough of the
solution is absorbed to make them pal
atable. As tho butter itself contains
about 12 per cent, of water, that must
bo taken into consideration in brine
salting, otherwise tho salting will bo |
too light. O i the other hand, if moro
dry salt is used than tho water in tho
butter -will turn into a solution, tho dry
salting will bo in excess and be shown
in particles of salt undissolvod.
To get tho best results from any kind
of salting tho churning should stop
when tho butter has fairly granulated !
and beforo it has been beaten to a salvy j
condition by tho process of gathering. I
At this stage the buttermilk should bo [
drawn off and tho butter bo washed i
with cold water or cold, weak brine
until it runs off clear, when eithor
strong, clear brine may bo poured on to 1
remain until tho mass has absorbed !
enough of the solution, or fine dry salt,
about ono ounce to the pound, be siftod
on and bo worked in so that it will dis
solve. After this a light second work
ing should be given to clear it of any
buttermilk that may bo drawn out by
tho salt.—[New York World.

Hewte Help Your Digestlea.
Almost every day we feel the unpleasant sen

Plasters and be relieved. J. F. Davenport, of
Canaraie, New York, writes:
I have been very much troubled with a vio
lent pain below my chest Itono. I was told by
several physicians that it was rheumatism of
the diaphragm. It resulted from cold and ex
posure. I had very little appetite and digested
my food with great difficulty. 1 placed one
Aucoci’B Porous Plaster below the breast
bone and two on each side. In the course of
twenty-four hours all pain ceased, and I was
able to eat and digest a good square meal, some
thing I had not done before in two weeks. I
got better constantly, and at the end of seven
days found myself entirely well. Since then I
have used Allcock’s Porous Plasters for
colds, coughs and pains in my side, and I have
always found them quick and effective.
