FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Raletelns for Family Ute.
There can be no doubt that llol
eteine, which combine large milk yields
with a good proportion of cream and
butter, are better adapted for family
use than the Jerseys. The latter do
not give large yields, but what they
do give is extremely rich. With a
family owning only a single cow, quan
tity and continuity is quite as import
ant as the quality of the milk yield.
With a single cow in most families,
the larger share of the milk never
goes into butter, especially if the yield
<s small. For use as milk that from
Jersey cows is too rich when not di
luted, and not so good when mixed
with water ns the pure milk from
cows giving larger yields.
Green Cropping for Fall Nlieep.
Our farmers could very profitably
borrow from their English cousins
eome system of green corn cropping
and feeding on the ground of such
fields as are intended for the fallow'.
The thick growth of the feeding plant
would smother and prevent all weed
growth, and the eating off of such a
heavy growth by sheep would, while
fattening the latter, greatly enrich
the ground, and especially so if with
the green crop the sheep were given a
daily feed of grain or oil meal. For
this purpose the fields should be plowed
early, thoroughly cultivated and sowed
to some such crop as mustard, rape or
spring vetches, or if sown at Intervals,
possibly oats and peas would make a
good crop. When the crop has made
suitable growth, the sheep should be
put on one side of the field, and so
kept as to eat the crop clean as they
advance.— Rural New Yorker.
Judgment on Feeding liny.
We remember once weighing some
hay that had been passed through a
cutting machine, and that a great big
pile of it uncut measured only a few
bushel basketfuls after the machine
had done with it, weighing seven
pounds and a half to the basket, or
just half the weight of coarse wheat
bran, weighed at the same time. It is
possible in the practical operations of
the farm to be strictly accurate in
such matters, but whatever departure
there may bo should be so far as pas
sible controlled by calculation and not
left altogether to accident. The farm
er cannot have a chemical analysis
made of his hay to ascertain its exact
nutritive value, and he cannot weigh
out to each bullock so many pounds
and ounces, but he can, considering
the quantity of grain he is feeding and
the average quantity of hpy, make up
his mind about how many pounds he
should feed. If he does this and finds
a part of it wasted he can decrease the
quantity, and if the quantity should
be insufficient, his own practical ob
servation will soon disclose that fact
to him. Having made up his mind
about how many pounds to feed, he
will have to guess and weigh a few
times until he can approximate the de
sired quantity, and will have a basis
for a starting point from which to in
crease or decrease h>* »>*■>■.

A correspondent of The Journal of
Horticulture gives bls experience with
bone meal, having tried it in compari
son with two artificial manures on a
lawn. All of the manures were ap
plied at the same time in March, on
separate parts of the lawn, and he re
marks : “The two artificial manures
had decidedly the best of it for the first
season. The bone meal did not im
prove the appearance of the grass in
the least, while that treated with arti
ficial manures displayed a marked im
provement The bone meal produced
more effect the second season than the
artificial manures had the first, but
the latter were evidently exhausted
the first season. The third season,
again, told in favor of the bone meal,
and what will be the case this year
remains to be seen. Similar experi
ments were tried with peas, onions,
lettuce and cauliflower, and other veg
etables, which resulted in favor of the
two artificial manures, the bones evi
dently making no difference. These
observations and experiments prove
that bones, however fine they may be
ground, do not act in any marked de
gree during the first season, but prove
an invaluable lasting manure.” The
conclusion was also reached, very
properly, that for pot-plants, when an
immediate effect is desired, bone meal
is without value, and artificial
manures that will act quickly should
be employed in such cases.
Wheat for Fall Needing.
Some of the successful wheat growers
in Pennsylvania and Maryland have a
custom of selecting their seed wheat
from fields that have a remarkably
vigorous development of straw, but
little regard being paid to the fullness
of the berry. The custom originated
with Mr. D. M. Good, of Washington
county, Md., who, on one occasion,
being short of plump wheat, sowed a
part of the field with shrunken seed
procured from a neighbor. Contrary
to expectations, the shrunken seed
produced much the finest crop, and on
investigation Mr. Good found that it
was from a field that had produced a
very heavy growth that lodged and
thus caused the shrivelling of the
berry. The theory is that the strength
of c> nstitution of wheat can be de
termined more by the growth of the
straw than by the fullness of the
berry on any given lot. Those who
accept this theory procure their seed
from those farmers who have excep
tionally heavy fields of wheat, and
would on no account use seed from all
yields, however plump the berry it
self might be. The same theory has
been practically accepted by many
New England farmers in the selection
of seed rye, as when a crop on new
land is found exceptionally heavy, as
it sometimes will be from the excess
of plant fertipty in the soil, the entire
crop is bought for seed by neighboring
farmers at aslight advance over market
prices. Short straw carries short heads
and consequently tfie yield must be light
however plump the kernel may be.
Selecting continually from tall straw
with long heads would naturally tend
to increase productiveness.— New York
Farmer.
Poultry Notes.
Feed the moving meal to your fowls
warm. Scald the meal, boil and mash
the potatoes or turnips, and mix these
for the early day’s feed.
Givesoft feed to poultry in the morn
ing, and the whole grains at night, ex
cepting a little wheat or whole grains
of corn placed in the “scratching
place” in the forenoon, to furnish em
ployment during the day.
Secure your rowen for winter feed
ing of poultry before it is too late, and
before severe frosts, if possible, for it
is injured in quality by being frost
bitten.
A piece of bright tin hung in the
open air, near the poultry yard, will
reflect the sun’s rays, and may alarm
the ever mistrustful hawk. Shaping
the tin like a ctfbe increases the effect.
Lard mixed with sulphur in proper
proportions, and applied, as often as is
necessary, to the feathers on the neck
and back of old and young turkeys, is
a very good safeguard against the rav
ages of foxes.
Hone meal and crushed oyster shells
may be used generously in feeding
fowls. Placed by themselves fowls will
devour no more of this mixture than
they naturally require to assist In di
gestion, and to help in forming the
shells of eggs.
If convenient, provide temporary
roosts outside the poultry house for the
next two months, so that the old fowls
will not be compelled to huddle together
hot nights upon the old perches. This
method will help wonderfully to keep
lice at bay.
Every one who has fowl should pro
vide a dust-box. Fine road dust, coal
ashes, sand, pulverized loam, or even
clay, are all very good, and with a
sprinkling of powdered sulphur consti
tute as good a bath as can be desired.
This should be placed in a sunny ex
posure of the room, and kept dry and
clean so that the fowls may enjoy its
benefits when they choose.
Household Hints.
Wrap fruit jars with paper to keep
out the light.
Sugar should be browned in a dry
pan for sauce.
Figs are good boiled five minutes
and served hot.
Keep preserves in a dry place; seal
with flour paste.
Boil coffee in a salt sack; it is
nicer than egg to settle it.
To prevent the juice of pies soaking
into the under crust, beat the white of
an egg and brush the crust with it.
If applied immediately, powdered
starch will take out many kinds of fruit
stains on table linen. It must be left
on the stained spot for a few hours,
until it absorbs the stain.
Recipe*.
Cheese Toast.— Put half an ounce of
butter in a frying pan; whin hot, add
gradually four ounces of American
Cheese. Whisk it thoroughly until
melted. Beat, together half a pint of
cream and two eggs; whisk into the
cheese, add a little salt, pour over
toast, and serve.
Rice Toast with Poached Egg. —Boil
the rice the night before it is to be
used; put it in a bread-loaf pan and
keep on ice; the next morning, cut it
in slices, brush a little melted butter
over the broiler and the sliced rice, and
broil, or rather toast before the tire.
When done, butter the slices, place on
each a poached egg, spot the top of the
egg with a little black pepper, and
serve.
Tapioca Pudding with Peaches.—
Wash half a pint of small tapioca;
put it in a double boiler, add a liberal
quart of boiling water and boil half au
hour. Peel and halve a dozen peaches,
put them in a pan, add one quarter of
a pound of powdered sugar, a salt
spoonful of mixed ground spice, four
ounces of butter and the grated rind
of a lemon. Four the tapioca over the
fruit, bake to a delicate brown, and
serve—hot or cold—with cream or
sauce.
Lamb Fritters, Tomato Sauce,—
When cold roast lamb will not slice
nicely, owing to its having been badly
carved at the preceding meal, it may
be served as fritters. Trim the meat
free from the bones and cut it very
fine; to one pound ot this add half a
scant teaspoonful of salt, a dash of
pepper (red and black mixed) and the
yolks of two eggs, bind together and
shape the mixture into small thin
cakes, dip them in beaten egg. then in
cracker crumbo, repeat the process,
and drop them in very hot fat. Serve
with tomato sauce.— Cook.
TOPICS OF T IE DAY.
I —— l ■"
The grocers, butchers, and small
traders in many cities keep records of
various kinds, in which they enter the
moral and financial standing of the
people in their region. It thus often
( happens that a wage-worker’s name
, will be marked in terms which will
lead the dealers to press credit on him
: at every turn, while his reputably-rich
, employer will be printed or written
! down as a good man to sell goods to
( for cash. It is better, the Chicago
, Current thinks, to be such a poor man
! than such a rich man.
i
; A singular decision is creited to the
. supreme court of Indiana. It is that
' an owner of property destroyed by fire,
from sparks negligently permitted to
; escape from a locomotive may recover
its full value from the railway com
pany, notwithstanding the fact that
the property was fully insured and the
insurance company has paid the loss.
In other words, if a person happens to
i be lucky enough to have a building
burned by a chance spark and also has
it insured in a solvent company, he
may get twice its value in solid cash.
Among the earliest and most im
portant matters to which the United
States Senate will have to direct its at-
■ tention when it meets, in December, is
the new extradition treaty with Great
Britain. The negotiations in regard
to this instrument are now said to be
practically completed, and all that is
needed to put it into operation is rati
fiication here and by the English Gov
ernment. The Canadian Government
has already given its assent to the
provisions of the proposed treaty, so
far as they affect Canada, and when it
is adopted by both the principals there
will be an end to at least one refuge
for defaulting bank cashiers and other
roguish financial officers. The new
treaty makes special arrangements
with regard to the class of criminals
who are given to embezzlement and
financial fraud of all kinds.
“Banks are constantly being im
posed upon,” said the cashier of one
of the largest national banks in New
York city the other day, “and the pub
lic knows nothing about it. Why, if
I was to tell you that the son of one
of the largest dry goods merchants in
New York had presented two forged
checks to this bank within the past
month, got money on both, and escaped
arrest and publicity, you would hardly
believe it; but it is so. His father
made good the amount. Almost every
week some one manages to defraud us
some way, and it is only once in six
months weever report the case to the
authorities. In the first place, it hurts
a bank's reputation to get caught too
often; but the principal reason for our
silence is, it wouldn't pay us to com
plain. In nearly every case the cul
prit is a friend or relative of some in
fluential customer. That is the way
he manages to secure his credit, and
the customer nearly always ‘talks tur
key’ when we go to him about the
matter. Use as much precaution as
we can, we have to trust some people.
Os course we can, as a rule, protect
ourselves against professional sharpers
and strangers by requiring identiiica
-1 tion, but there is no way of prevent
ing our customers from defrauding us
by atoo-close scrutiny of their checks.
That might drive away good business,
and we have to take our chances as to
the paper being all right.

I'll tell you when a man feels real
badly. It’s when he is forming his
men into lino for a big battle while a
little skirmishing fire is kept up all
the time. Every minute or so some
, one, maybe your best friend, standing
right next to you will shriek out “Oh,
my God!’' and fall back dead, yet yoti
cannot let your men fire, for the army
must be drawn up first There is
plenty of time to think. You don't
dare to retaliate in any way. The
next bullet may find your heart, and
i your children will be left fatherless.
It is a moment that tries the bravest
man, because he has to stand quietly
and take it all. But when the order
' comes to fight and the excitement of
! the battle arises, fear passes away.

A TALK WITH A S( RGF.ON.
(From Cincinnati, Ohtv, Timcs-Htar.)
Talking a few Jays ago with one of our
most distinguished surgeons, one of our
writers said to him:
“Doctor, what’s the matter with our people
i now-a days, that so many of them are com
plaining about their livers ’ It seems to me
that half the people I meet have their livers
out of order.”
“Your estimate is a very light one,” said
the doctor. “Probably seventy-five per cent
of the people have livers which are not doing
their work fully and properly. You can see
it for yourself in various degrees of signs on
the skin or in theeyea Notice it, all the way
from the saffron-colored skin and eyeballs of
the thoroughly jaundiced victim of liver com
plaint to the slightly pimpled face of the
young la ly whose waist is too tightly laced,
and who is crowding her liver into such nar
row quarters that it has not half a chance to
work.”
“Well,” said our correspondent, “what is
the most general cause of what we call liver
complaint f’
“The causes,” responded our eminent medi
cal friend, “ are as many as the diversities of
tbe disorder. Prominent among them you
may mention greasy food, lack of projier ex
ercise an I v-.nU ation, and irregularity in
eating. The liver is a wonderful organ. It
has to do its work in the dark. No process
ot surgery can reach it while in the living
body. All the blood must doas rapidly
through it, to be cleansei of impurities.
There are great tubes and small ones in the
liver—some so exceedingly small that they
cannot be seen except with the microscope
If any of these become clogged, there are at
once some imper.ections in the grand system
of filtration. When the liver is out of order
the bile, which ought to go in proper direc
tions on its mission of usefulness, goes astray
and wanders into the circulation, and tells its
ta!e of mischief in tbe yellow tinge it gives
tnoskin. The healthy skin is rosy and life
like. The skin which has lost its rosy hue,
and looks as if it had been tanned or was go
ing to lie, is telling its story of disordered
liver and corrupted blood.”
‘ But, do tor, you say that no surgical ope
ration ian rea h the liver. What 13 to be
done for thj seventy-five livers out of a hun
dred which you say are disordered !”
“My dear sir, happily we do not need *ur
gery for this organ. There is a better and
easier way of reaching the difficulty. You
want to enrich tbe enfeebled and corrupted
blood, and for that you need iron. You want
to administer a tonic to tone up the system
and to invigorate tbe liver, so as to renew its
diligence in the work of sifting the impuri
ties out of the blood. Os course, you know
that there are all sorts of preparations which
claim to do this work. But lie careful what
you use. There is a capital iron preparation
which is made in Baltimore, and is the tiest J
know of, for it does its work without produc
ing constipation or lua lache The trouble
with most of the iron preparations is that
they do mischief in these directions. My po
sition a* a professional man make me careful
in speaking of any proprietary artiela But
I may mention that this article i* ‘ Brown's
Iron Bitters.’ ”
“ Why, that’s the great popular tonic that
! the pe <nle are all talking ai>out.”
“ And well may they talk about it, for it is
: a good thing.”
Sauntering away in the direction of Sprin
i grove avenue, and looking at the new im
' provement* in that direction, he stopped for
lunch at the Springrove Exchange restaurant,
and was waited on by ita proprietor*, Mr.
and M rs. J. C McGee. To these go<xi people |
he began to talk on the subject which was up
{>ermost in his mind. He found that they
tad both been afflicted with liver complaint,
and bad both found their way out of it
Said Mrs. McGee: “ I had liver complaint
for five or six years, and kidney trouble, too.
About a year ago 1 began using Brown’s Iron
Bitters, and then I got well. I have had no
trouble since, l.took three or four bottles of
this medicine. Some of my friend* have
taken it, and it has done them a great deal
of good. ’
Said Mr. McGee: “ I have been taking it,
too, and am taking it yet, for I did not begin
as soon as my wife did. It has done me much
good, and I believe it is the right thing for
people who have any liver or kidney troubles.”
Thei e are two case? of cure right before
our eyes, and hundreds of similar cose* could
lie named. This is what Brown’s Iron Bitters
baa done in our midst :
