FARM AND GARDEN.
DUCKS WITHOUT WATER.
.
The idea that ducks and geese abso¬
lutely need tree access to water at all
times is a mistake. For young ducks,
especially early in tho season while the
water is cold too much water is fatal.
The wild birds hive become hardened
to it; but even of them a large number
probably succumb, thus keeping their
increase in check. If you givo ducks
water enough to drink and take precau¬
tions to prevent them from getting their
feet into it, you have done better for
their welfare than they know how to do
themselves.— Boston. Cultivator. t _
COLD SETTING OP MILK.
A New England dairyman describes a
simple device for cold setting of milk in
summer that is well worth the notice of
all interested. No patent creamer, no
ice, no expensive room, is called for.
The milk is set in a can twelve inches
in diameter and deep enough to hold
the milk of six or eight cows. By a
simple windlass this is lowered into a
well where the temperature i» uniform
at forty-eight or fifty degrees, and al¬
lowed to set twenty-four hours, when
the can is raised and tho cream dipped
off. No one need have any fears but
they would got all the cream under such
conditions. The cream will be thin,
tho same as in deep setting, butthe but¬
ter will bo all in it .—New York Obser¬
ver.
PLANTING BEANS.
Beans may be planted the first week
in Juno. The land should be in good
condition; the common belief that any
kind of poor land is good enough for
beans is a delusion. Twenty-five to
forty bushels of beans per ncre can only
be grown upon good land, and at
present prices this yield is profitable.
The marrowfat variety is generally the
most salable, although the rod kidney,
the white pea bean, and the black soup
beans sometimes bring the highest
prices. Beans are usually planted in
drills eighteen inchos apart, and three
beans are dropped at intervals of twelve
inches. The boan grown in America is
different from the English bean, belong¬
ing to a distinct family of plants, and
its manner of growth differs from that
of the English horse bean. This latter
kind does not succeed in our climate,
being fatally infested with lice, an evi¬
dence perhaps that weak growth under
unfavorable conditions tends to induce
attacks from parasites. The two kinds
of beans, however, differ very little in
chemical composition and feeding value.
—New York Times.
GIRDLED TREES.
The rabbits, mice and other rodents
usually injure trees in the winter so that
by spring it is necessary to repair them
in some way before summer. Unless
the pests have eaten the inner bark all
around the trees, they will recover with
proper treatment. The best remedy to
apply is to make a stiff plaster out of
clay and cow manure, adding a little
water to make it more plastic. If such
a plaster is placed over the barked por¬
tion of the tree and secured into position
by a covering of old bagging or cloth,
tho wound is likely to heal up in a
short time. If the weather is very dry
it will be necessary to wet tho bandage
occasionally. The great object of the
application is to keep the wound moist
while nature heals up the injury. If
the wound is a largo and serious one, it
may be necessary to cut off many of the
top limbs of tho tree. This is to equal¬
ize the flow of the sap, which is neces¬
sarily diminished by tho wound. Other
remedies for girdled trees aro recom¬
mended, but for a simplo and effective
device, which any orchardist can apply,
this one cannot be surpassed. It is an
old-fashioned remedy, but it is as good
today as it was iu the days of our fore¬
fathers.
LOSS OF POWER OF HIND LEGS.
S. L. Schumacker, Pendleton Co.,
W. Va., asks for the cause of weakness
of the back of a yearling colt. When
down it eanaot rise its hind parts. He
says there is no fever, swelling or ten¬
derness of back, there has been no in
jury, and that tho colt is in good con
dition and has a good appetite. If
there is no affection of the kidneys,
there must be paralysis. Give a quarter
of a pound of Glauber satts for two or
throe mornings in wheat bran or in tho
drinking wator. Then wring out a
small blanket, four folds, in hot wator,
apply to the back, and cover with a
folded horse blanket. Chango often to
keep up heat and moisture for several
hours, then cover with a dry, warm
blanket. If tho condition does not
soon improve, give in tho drinking wa¬
ter half an ounce each of extract of nux
vomica and iodide of polash, night and
morning, for a fow days, then omit a
day or two and repeat tho treatment.
If tho paralysis is persistent, make a
blister over the back at the loins by ap¬
plying an ointment made of one part of
bin-iodide of mercury and six¬
teen parts of lard,—one drachm of
tho mercury and sixteen drachms
of laid. The best method of
blistering ii by rubbing in- tho warm
ointment with a flannel cloth firmly tie I
to a strong stick, lliui protecting the
hands and eyes. Should twitching of
the muscles occur, stop tho nux vomica.
PLANTING AND CULTIVATION OF CORN.
Ti e general introduction of improved
implements has completely revolution-
iaed the methods of corn culture. In
the early years of our older readers the
hoe was almost constantly in hand f; om
the beginning of planting until the crop
was “laid by.” The corn farmer of
those days was quite ready to echo Dud¬
ley Warner s wish for a “cast-iron back
with a hinge in it.” Now the farmer
may “lay down the shovel and the hoe,"
and raise a much larger and better corn
crop without them. After the land is
plowed—which on large prairio farms
may be done with a double wheel plow
—the pulverizing, disk, or cutaway har
row reduces the soil to flue tilth, leaving
it ready for tho seed. Theoretically
drills are far more productive than
check-rows. Drills three-and-a-half
feet apart, with tho stalks six inchei
apart in the drill, have a ratio as seven
to four with hills the same distance
apart each way. That i-, an acre in
drills contains three-fourths more plants
than an acre in check-rows, with equal
space between. Furthermore, with
plants standing six inches apart, each
one has a better chance for full develop¬
ment than when crowded into hills.
Tho only practical difficulty iu drilling
corn arises from tho want
of an implement which- will
drop two drills at or.ee, with uniform
distance between the kernels in the
drills. With a good smoothing harrow
it is quite as easy to give clean culliva
tion in drills as in rows. This should
begin before tho young corn sliow3 it¬
self above ground. In case of sudden
showers followed by sunshine soon after
seeding, a hard crust results, which the
smoothing harrow breaks up. This im¬
plement may be run lengthwise of tho
drills or rows at intervals of a week or
less, without injury to the corn, until
the stalk begins to shoot up through the
centre. As to manure, it is too late to
consider it in a general way after the
corn is planted. Stable manure should
have bcou applied to the surface and
plowed under, and commercial fertili¬
zers are best harrowed into the soil be¬
fore planting. But a top-dressing of
ashes applied to the hills or drills either
before or immediately after the corn is
up will benefit tho crop under all con¬
ditions.
The subsequent cultivation of the
crop, from the time when it is too large
for the smoothing harrow, is bc.st per¬
formed by means of a two-horse culti¬
vator. There are many excellent pat¬
terns in the market, aud it is a waste of
time and labor to scratch back and forth
between the rows with a little one-horse
cultivator, when a good two-horse im¬
plement will do the work better in one
fourth the time. The ground should
never be stirred so deeply as to cut the
roots. Careful experiments have proved
the theory of "root-pruning’’ corn
to be a gross fallacy. Tho plant is a
rank feeder, and needs all its root
growth unimpaired. But the surface
must be kept stirred and free from
weeds uat l the crop is ready to be “laid
by.” In hot, droughty drya a layer of
loose porous soil on the surface acts as a
mulch. On the other hand, a neglected
growth of weeds wilt draw the water
out of the soil, besides robbing tho corn
of its plant food.— American, Agricul.
turist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
The soil fattens by feeding upon it
self.
Be sure the mower is ready for the
field before hitching to it.
A farmer with a family should never
despise tho ‘‘truck patch.”
Laziness aiid farming never did go
hand in hand and make a good crop.
The best management on the farm is
in raising good crops and increasing the
fertility.
Don’t work all the time and never
take “a spell" to read, You cannot
live by bread alone.
Be well prepared to harvest every crop
in good season; delay at this season of¬
ten proves a serious loss.
You can’t expect a full hay crop if
you pasture the meadow so late that the
mower has to drive the cows out.
Whatever you plant don't sow any of
the seels of fretfulness. It is about as
worthless “stuff” aa you can raise.
Good roads improve the country in so
many ways, that it will be found a good
plan to take good care to improve them.
Try and find what your farm is best
adapted for. Plow well, usegoodsoeJ,
plaut only what can be cared for, culti¬
vate ofleu. Don’t try to raise ten acres
of corn at a loss wliou five can be grown
with gain.
Tho farmer of today who succeeds
must take advantage of tho improve¬
ments of tlie times, keeping up tlie f r
tility of his soil so that crops can bo
raised on it as cheaply as on the fields
of those with whom he compotes.
Some farmo; s claim they do not have
timo enough. This is tlioir excuse for
being eternally behind. Now we do
not believe in that excuse. Thiyliavo
all tho time thcro is; m ono hai m rc,
and if they cannot keep up with tlie
proper arrangement of plans tho man¬
agement is at fault.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
A TOOTHSOME DAINTY.
If well done, crystalizcd pop-corn Is
delicious. Have your corn well popped
—no hard kernels of unpopped corn in
it. Boil a cupful of sugar in a third of
a cupful of water until it strings from
the spoon. Drop in a little essence of
any kind, and pour it all over the dish
of corn. Have some one olse tossing
the corn about with two forks while you
do it. When cold It should be dry
enough to put in candy bags, each
bursting, flower-like grain glittering
with its sugar coating.
■TRING BEANS ON TOAST.
Get a quarter of a peck of young
French or snap beaus. Break off each
end ar small as possible, drawing down
the strings, if there are any. Some beans
are so fresh and tender they seem to bo
without strings. Break each bean into
pieces an inch long, and if thoy are
large split them with a sharp knife
lengthwise. Let them.lie in clear, cold
water 20 or 30 minuter. Drain them,
cover with boiling water,and boil stead¬
ily about an hour. They arc done as
soon as thoy aro tonder enough to pierce
with a straw. When done drain off ail
the water, add pepper and salt, and a
small piece of butter. Toast some slices
of stale bread and dip them in boiling
water slighly salted, lay them in a dish,
mix a half-cup of milk with the beans
and heap them on the toast. A small
bone from a boiled ham is considered by
some persons very nice boiled with the
boans to give them a flavor.— Housewife.
RAW EGGS FOB INVALIDS.
Raw eggs are frequently ordere,d, as
when they can be taken and retained by
a sick person they aro extremely nour¬
ishing, simply becauso the albumen not
having been hardened is tho sooner di¬
gested. Many, however, cannot take
raw eggs as usually given; that isi
beaten up with millk or wine, Tho
following mode is a good one; tho ap -
pearance of the dish is so nice that an
invalid will ofton bo induced to try it.
It is free from oilinc;s and clean to tho
palate. Put the yolk of an egg into a
basin with a teaspoonful of whito sugar
and a tablespoonful of orange or lemon
juice, and beat lightly together with a
fork. Put the white on a plate, aid a
pinch of salt, and then, with a broad
blaided knife, beat it to a stiff froth.
Then as lightly as possible mix all to¬
gether in tho basin, and as lightly
transfer it to a clean tumbler, which it
will nearly fill if properly made, This
must not stand in a warm place or it
6oon becomes liquid and loses its snowy
look.— Washington, Star.
CORN STARCH MERINGUE.
Four eggs, one quart of milk, three
fourths cup of sugar, four teaspooufuls
corn starch, one-half cup fruit jelly or
jam. Heat the milk to boiling, and
stir in the corn starch, which has pre¬
viously been dissolved in a little cold
nnlk. Boil fifteen minutes, stirring all
tbe while. Remove fr< m the fire, and
while still hot add gradually the yelks
of the eggs, bea en up with the sugar
aud seasoned with vanilla, lemon or bit¬
ter almond. Pour this into a buttered
pudding dish and bake fifteen minutes,
or until the custard begins to 4 ’set.' ’
Without withdrawing it further than
the door of the oven, spread lightly and
quickly upon this a mcringuo of the
whites, whipped up stiff, with a half
cup jelly; ad l gradually. Use crab
apple jelly if bitter almond has been put
in tho custard, currant for vanilla;
strawberry, or other sweet conserve, if
you season tho custard with lemon.
Bake, covered, for five minute3. Then
remove the lid and brown the meringue
very slightly. Eat cold, with powdered
sugar sifted thickly over the top.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Water house plants with cold tea.
Green vegetables will retain their
color if cooked in an uncovered vessel.
Remove machino grease from cotton
or linen by washing in rain water and
soap.
To cleanse white zephyr shawls, rub
we 1 with dry flour and hang in the
wind.
Wash gilding with water in which
onions has been boilel, and dry with a
soft cloth.
Clothespins boiled a few minutos and
quickly dried once or twice a month be¬
come moro durable.
To make this shino wash in hot soap
auds, dip a dampened cloth in fine sift¬
ed coal ashes, then polish with dry
ashes.
A lmlf-cupful of ammonia to a pail of
water will cleanse hard finished walls
nicoly. Change tho water when it be¬
comes foul.
If tho boiled potatoes arc done a lit¬
tle too soon lay a towel over the kettle
or dish but do not put a tight cover
over them.

Effects of the Snez Canal.
Some years ago it was proposed to ex¬
pedite the opening up of the interior erf
Africa by letting in the waters of the ocean
to the Great Sahara, whioh would thus
become an immense inland lake, to the
shores of which ready access could be
gained by ships. One of the objections
raised to the scheme was that it would
seriously affect the climate not only of the
adjacent countries, but of the whole of
Europe, which would be turned into an
Arctic region. It is interesting to recall
this circumstance in view of one of the
unforseen consequences of the opening of
the Suez canal which is now reported.
The climate of lower Egypt has been
markedly modified, and rain, which was
previously almost unknown there, has be¬
come relatively frequent. Another singu¬
lar result is not so satisfactory; the sharks
of the Indian ocean have found their way
through the canal into the eastern part of
the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, and
sea bathing at the ports of Fiume and
Pola is rendered impracticable.
Making Opium.
of Opium is got by cutting the capsule
the poppy flower with a notched iron
instrument at sunrise, and by the next
morning a drop or two of juice has oozed
out. This is scraped off and saved by
the grower, and after he has a vessel full
of it it is strained and dried. It takes a
great opium, many and poppies to make a pound of
it goes through a number of
processes before it is ready for the mar¬
ket. In a liquid state it looks like a
dark strawberry jam.
Frlnce or the Bootblacks.
Antonio Aste, the Prince of the New
York bootblacks, was recently married
in great style in that city. Ho owns a
number of the most valuable stands in
town, and is tho proprietor of several
tenement houses—all purchased by money
raised in blacking shoes. His bride is a
pretty young Italian girl named Annie
Berbieri, who wore on the occasion a
white silk dress trimmed with valuable
lace. They will go to Europe for their
bridal tour.
# A Huge Lump.
