AGRICULTURAL. IOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO PARM AND GARDEN. Mo m c-Mn tl e Per 1 1 1 i zers. We believe, says a writer in the Indiana their Farmer, that farmers can make much of fertilizing material a great deal cheaper bone than they can buy it, eight where the raw can be bought for or ten dollars a ton. We know that fertilizer manufacturers will take issue with us upon this point, but we have tried itand know whereof we speak when we assert than when the material is at hand and can lie bought cheaply the farmer can make migiity good wages while prepar ing his own fertilizer. work bone quicker . , with . . \ ou can up acid than you can with lime and ashes, but ii is more expensive and isn’t quite as good prefer i to work up what bone I can get with nshes, lime and sal-soda in the following garden manner: In one corner of the or barn lot, shovel off the soil down until you reach the clay. The size of excavation depends upon the amount of bone you have to use up. For a ton of bone, a place 4x(i feet would be about the right size. Then set up four posts, one at each corner of your excav ation, and with some old refuse boards plank it up three or four feet, above the ground, filling and you have your pit complete. J login by first throwing in strong unleached ashes to the depth of three or four inches. Then lay in bone some thing like placing sweet potatoes in bed gether. to sprout, crowding them up close to Cover this with ashes and sprinkle over a common pailful of air slaked lime, or if it is unslakcd a smaller amount will do. Pulverized sal-soda is next added, say about a quart to each layer of and above size, then put in bone again, the supply then is used continue ns above until up. With every layci of ashes sprinkle on two or three pails of entire water, or enough Every to thoroughly wet the mass. few days the pit must be watered, otherwise it will take too much time for the bones to rot. If properly attended to it will be ready to use in time months. Every ton of bone used will make two tons of fertilizer that will analyze as high as any $40 boned us t vou tail buy on the market. * Dairy Cow* and Their Feed'. I believe, says W. A. Brown in the New York Tribune, there are many dis been couraged farmers, who for years have vainly trying to get out of debt, who would find in a well managed dairy their best opportunity. If the cream can be sold to a factory and the milk kept the at labor home the wife will he relieved of with suitable of making the good butter, but apparatus and help a farm dairy of from ten to thirty cows can be managed very comfortably, and rather than sell the milk 1 would advise that the butter bo made at home, for with the milk the heifer calves can be raised to keep up the herd, and when fed to pigs in cornection with other foods a pound of pork can be made fox each ten to fifteen pouuds of milk, and this will pay for quite a percentage of the food of the cows. After many years Jerseys of for experience the butter I recommend dairy. The grade best money—is way to start—particularly good if short of to get a few native cows and a choice Jersey bull and begin grad have ing up. rather As a rule, most Jersey cows small teats, so it is well to select large-tented cows for the founda tion of your herd. Fortunately Jersey bulls can be bought cheap, for the sup ply I believe is in excess it of the demand. to be true also that grades from three-quarters to seven-eights dairy Jersey blood are as valuable for the and as dairyman higher grades or thoroughbreds, a can, in a few years, raise a herd of grades that will produce fifty per cent, more of butter and of better quality. There is a strong prej udice among farmers against this breed because of their small size, but long ex perience led with botji large and small cows me to the conclusion that they eat iu proportion food to their weight, and that the of support necessary for two cows of 1200 pounds each is ample for three of 800 pounds each, and ou a much less amount of food, with me, the small cows will average more butter than the large one. Two winters ago I fed in the same stable large anil small cows; last winter 1 had all small Jerseys, and the differ ence iu the quantity of food eaten was quite noticeable. The idea that you must get a herd of cows that will be * milking profitable for beef when you are done them is erroneous, for often the extra food they will eat during the years of milking will cost twice what the carcass factory food will I bring. have The most satis ever used for dairy cows, taking is cob-meal cost and and effect into ac count, bran, mixed equal bulks, tlie would corn ami cob ground bo fine that it take close looking to detect the cob. In connection with this I have fed ! what bright clover hay and corn fodder tho cows would eat clean. On ten pounds of this mixed bran and meal to a cow, high, costing eight this year, when prices are cents per day per head, my cows have maintained a lull flow of milk, and are iu better flesh than they were in the fall. Usually I can buy in the fall bran at $12 per ton and corn at thirty-five the cents per bushel, which would i ' bring less than cost of this ration to a little six cents a day per cow, in cluding “pay grinding of the corn, for which we six cents a bushel of seventy pouuds. for warming As I have not fixed an appara tus the water 1 have given my cows freshly pumped water, and but I am of convinced of the economy profit raising the temperature of the water to a point ut which it will not chill food them. It also pays to provide extra for the summer. In May and June a cow on good, succulent pasture will need noth ing in addition, but the dairyman through the i never safe who tries to go summer without a plot of sweet corn to feed iu case of drouth, and for two or three months in the fall probably pump kins arc one of foods. the cheapest and best supplementary da is The intelligent, caught napping, progressive he does ryman never not try to see on how small a ration lus cows can be carried through the year, but rather how large an amount of food he can get them to eat. One important aid to appetite and digestion is a regular supply of salt. The lest of prophets of the future is . past. WORDS OF WISDOM. Truthfulness is one of the great vlr tues.

Strange Customs in Siam. A report has been forwarded from Bangkok the to the Foreign Office of a Siam, jour ney to Laos State of Nan, in toward the end of last year. The travel ers received some information from one of the members of the Sanam or court house concerning the laws and customs of Nan. For stealing an elephants killing an elephant, or is buffalo, death. or a bullock, the punishment Murder or house breaking are also punished with death A person detected in smoking opium is imprisoned for three years, and for a sec ond offense he would probably be put to death. This system appears to work well, there having been no execution during the year before, then while current, and only one the year there were only four or five prisoners at the time of their visit. With regard to slaves, every man of the lower orders must be enrolled at the Sanam as the slave of some master, but he is allowed to choose whom he will serve, and if he does not like one, he may re-enroll himself as the slave of an other, his own name being then changed. A slave is fed by his master while he is working for him, but at other times he must feed himself. No purchase money is paid for him by his owner. During the first three days of our stay we went daily to see the cremation ceremonies, which took place in the open space in front of the palace, the chief and his sons looking on from bamboo sheds erected for the purpose. The first day wc saw some boxing by young Laos, which the people seemed features never tired Europeans of watching. Some novel to were the postures and grimaces which seemed to be con sidered an essential part of the fighting, and the use of the feet, in which some of the combatants were rather dexterous, occasionally dealing their antagonists a smart blow in the face with them. On the second day, in addition to the boxing, resemblance a game was played foot ball. which large bore some to A cocoanut, well greased, was thrown among a number of young men, who and then the struggled who to managed get possession of it, one to get away with it to the other end of the ground re ceived a prize.

The engineer claimed at tlio time that lxe could hear but everything the" doctor while fouud running that in his engine, he could hear ordinary a still room not conversation a foot away. The engineer lived at Cincinnati, and received treat ment in that city for his disease, but without suspended any special benefit. the After being eight months engineer again came to Dr. Clark and insisted that he could hear The perfectly doctor thought while on he a moving would engine. and, accompanying the test the case, man to Cincinnati* made a number of experi ments with him on engines. The result that the , doctor found , , the . was engineer was not only telling the truth that in regard deaf to the matter, but also the man could hear low remarks and whispers on a moving engine that even Dr. Clark’s keen ear failed to catch. The engineer was reinstated iu his former place.— Colum’nis (Ohio) Journal .

Steaming Food. There are some housekeepers who are fully alive to the value of a steamer, as never had one in their houses. What ever can be boiled can be steamed, and when the process is completed and the food di-hed, instead of having a pot or saucepan to wash out, always a distaste ful task, or a pudding cloth to rinse or cleanse, there is only the clean, damp strainer to be wiped dry, and the earthen dish to be washed in which the food was cooked ; an enormous saving of tried trouble, both as any one will testify who has methods. Steamers may be purchased of all styles and prices, from elaborate ones in tiers, forming separate compartments in which different viands can be steamed at the same time, down to tiny ones useful to fit on the top of the tea kettle. A size is a plain, round one about twelve inches high to lit over an ordinary iron pot. The cover must be Things very that tight to retain the steam. are steamed cannot hum, and once safely over a pot of boiling water, the hurried housekeeper may dismiss them from her mind. r l here is only one point to be remembered: the water mu»t never cease boiling for a single instant and therefore the lire must not be permitted togot low.

Stale bread or biscuit can by fresh, steaming _ be rendered as nice as when (jut the bread iu slices, and stand them in the steamer leaning against a bowl in the middle, so the steam will reach every part of the slices. Let them remain foi five or six minutes, remove the cover, turning it up quickly so the condensed steam on it will not drop on the bread, butter each slice as it is removed, pile lightly on a iiot dish. Split the biscuit, observe the same precautions in steam ing, and serve in the same way. Plum cake can be easily cooked by steaming each loaf for three hours and finisning by baking it in a moderate oven for one hour. It cannot be told from cake baked in the ordinary way, and there is much less anxiety as to how it will turn out.— Ghridim Union . Itecelpes. Rice Potato. —Boil and mash good white potatoes.
