“The Trim Little Cow in R. ■(>.’’
They sing of the graceful Jersey,
The queen of the modern churn,
The beautiful cow who .utter
To luassos of gold will turn,
We dim not one ray of glory
That over her fame is shed,

But brave is the little Devon;
Hlio holds up her shapely head.
And stands by her chosen colors,
The trim little cow in red.

Revolutionizing Moat Curing.
The French ministry of agriculture has
canscd a number of tests to be made
recently, all showing that meat can be
preserved by sugar in a much more satis-
factory manner than by salt. Though
tho salt is somewhat cheaper, yet its
effect is to destroy, to a certain extent,
the nutritive qualities of the meat with
which it is brought into contact. Meat
packed in sugar retains its juices. It is
thought tion, that the result what of this investiga-
combined with is already
known as to the preservative effects of
sugar, may lead in time to important
changes in the meat-preserving industry.
Apples for Animals.
We used to feed apple pomace to cows,
says an Ohio farmer in the New York
Tribune, and they relished it keenly.
r eeding apples to cattle * . rather ditti- j
cult. Too many founder the cows, some-
times, and they dry up for weeks, t-mme
cows choke of them. I have known
Cows to break iu and cat all the apples
they wanted, and their flow of milk
would much increase. On another oc-
casion half the herd foundered; some of
them stretched out and dried nearly up
for weeks, ^ ear before last we cut
apples until the cattle got used to them;
then turned them into the orchard for a
short time; but then some of them went
back on their milk. Lust year we were
more successful. I found by allowing
them to cut apples for ten minutes twice
a day, the) d.d well and the flow of
milk increased. Leaving the cows in
twelve minutes, one of them foundered
a little. One cow choked on apples
twice. We tied her nose up and pushed
the apple down with a rakehandlc. But
a cow that chokes wiil continue to do so,
tinless she runs in an orchard all the
time. Cows will eat apples that hogs
will not touch, and to pasture an orchard
with cows is a good way, if the trees j
have been traiued high, as they should be.
Plant Early.
Considerable loss comes from neglect
of the prompt start for garden crops,
The only plausible reason for delay is the
fear of frost. But the injury nine times
out of ten is greater from drouth of
summer than from frost in spring. Peas,
roots, lettuce, etc., are so hardy that
they seldom suffer, even from a pretty
severe frost; corn will bear a slight frost,
for if slightly nipped it will continue to
grow, and make as good stalks generally
as if left untouched by frost. In early
planting, although the weather subse-
quentiy may not be favorable for the
plant’s when rising so quickly above ground as
the soil is warmer, the seed sends
forth roots, and these obtain greater size
and strength to pusn the stalks forward
more from rapidly later when they come up than
tender, bat planting. Beans are more
I have occasionally seen
them escape frosts which at other times
killed them—the reason of which I could
not divine, for the circumstances of the
two cases were apparently precisely alike.
For garden crops, considerable risk may
be taken in early planting, for in case of
loss by frost it is little labor to replant,
and things get so forward before the
summer’s excessive heat or drouth comes
on, that they scarcely suffer to any great
extent. For field crops, which are so
much larger, it is better to wait plant-
ing sufficiently late to ensure the crops
from May frosts. Where the soil is nat-
urally rich, or if poor, well fertilized,
the crops pushup so vigorously as to
make them much less susceptible to un-
favorable weather of any kind. This
shows the necessity of putting the
ground in first-rate condition before
planting, and adding tiie any fertilizer dur-
ing the growth of crops, necessary ’ to
ensure a paying yield.

Houses for Carpets.
Not many even of the point most of intelligent letting
among women make a in
)} 10 needful sunlight. 'Hie average
housekeeper drops the curtain on leaving
a room, and shades the windows of her
sleeping-chamber. “But.” you will say,
“this curtain-dropping is not of a matter of
gentility alone, it is a matter economy, fade
Wc cannot afford to let the sun our
carpets.” This makes s very simple
thing of it. The question becomes
merely this: Shall our carpets last or we?
Now it stands to reason .that carpets
shall not regulate this m atter. Are
carpets made lor houses, or houses for
carpets? If the latter, then let us put up
but tasteful buildings, carpet
them richly, shut them up carefully, and
build other houses close by for d welling
\Ve could step in occasionally
to see ihc carpets, and could take our
in. For our dwelling-houses we
have straw-matting or carpets
which will bear fading, or stained
wooden floors, or wood carpets, with
rugs here and there, as foot comforts; a
rug, you know is easy to cover or to
move.—Avu> York Tribune.
Silk and Velvet Pieces,
If the pieces are large they mako
pretty sachet bags; if small, cut into
round scallops, or points, and fasten to
a pecture frame with the scallops, or
points, overlapping each other; or make
a frame for a card receiver aud cover the
same way. Cover an old straw hat with
the silk points and it will make a pretty
wall pocket; line it and hang up by silk
pieces cord. sewed together and twisted into a
Piano and table covers are iinislied on
the ends with velvet pieces. Then there

an old silk garment, no matter how
forlorn, cut it into strips half au inch
wide and sew together, then all the silk
pieces, old hair ribbons (cleaned) and
sashes are sewed to that; make into balls.
Get three-quarters a pair of bone knitting needles about
of a yard long, and as
large as your linger, and then knit the
plain stitch; a piano cover is made the
same way, with a border of plush. The
sdks must be carefully arranged with a
view to color effect. Instead of being
knitted, the portiere can be woven.
Now a “bonnet” for the teapot. There
are s0 many cries about the tea getting
cold, we must find a way to keep it warm.
After the tea is made, pour it into the
serving teapot, this which is covered with the
“bonnet;” is made of odds and ends
of silk and velvet pieces, and quilted
with a place left open for the spout and
slit for the handle. You are then sure
of a warm cup of tea.
Ti finish the ends of a table scarf or
Y’alance, cut the silk scraps into strips
aa wide as tho pieces will allow, ravel
one side to within half an inch, then sew
very close together to the foundation.
