AGRICULTURAL TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Home-Made Fertilizers, NVe believe, says a writer in the Indiana sumer. their fertilizing that farmers material can make a great much deal of cheaper than they can buy it, where the ssrva.* manufacturers will take issue with us upon this point, but we have tried it and know whereof we speak when we assert than when the material is at hand and can be bought cheaply the farmer can make mighty good wages while prepar ing his own fertilizer. S ou can work up bone quicker with acid than joti can with lime and ashes, but it is more expensive and isu t quite %S 1 prefer to ^vork „„ up ^vimt bone I T c&n „ on get with ashes, time and sal-soda in the following manner: la one corner of the garden or barn lot, shovel off the soil down until you reach the clay. The size of excavation have depends upon the amount ! of bone you to use up. For a ton of bone, a place 4x<J feet would lie about the right each size. Then set up four ; posts, one at corner of your excav ntion, and with some old refuse boards plank it up three or four feet above tlie . ground, filling and you by fiist have throwing your pit complete. in Begin strong unleached ashes to the depth of triree or four inches. Then lay in bone some¬ thing like placing sweet poiatoes in bed to sprout, crowding them up close to¬ gether. Cover tills with ashes and sprinkle over a if common pailful of air slaked lime, or it is unslakeil a smaller amount will do. Pulverized sal-soda is next added, say about a quart to each layer of above size, then put in bone again, and then continue as above until the supply is u-ed up. With everylayei of ashes sprinkle enough on two thoroughly or three pails the of water, or to wet entire mass. watered, Every few days tlie pit must be otherwise it will take too much time for tlie bones to rot. If properly attended to it will be ready to use iti tlir, e months. Every ton of bone used will make two tons of fertilizer that will analyze as high as any $40 bonedust You can buy on tlie market. Dairy Cow# ntnl Tlieir Feed. I believe, says W. A. Brown in the New York Tribune, there are many dis¬ couraged farmers, who for years have been vainly trying to get out of debt, who would find in a well managed dairy their best opportunity. If the cream can bc sold to a factory and the milk kept at home the wife will he relieved of the iabor of making the butter, but with suitable apparatus and good help a farm dairy of from ten to thirty cows can be managed very comfortably, and rather than sell the milk I 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 connection with other foods a pound of pork can be made fur each ten to fifteen pounds of milk, and this will pay for quite a percentage of the food of tlie cows. After many years of experience I recommend grade Jerseys for the butter dairy. The best way to start—particularly if short of money—is to get a few good native cows and a choice Jersey bull and begin grad ing have up. rather As small a rule, most Jersey cows teats, so it is well to select tion large-tcated herd. cows for the founds of your Fortunately Jersey bulls can bo bought cheap, for the sup ply is in excess of the demaud. I believe it to be true aiso that grades from three-quarters to seven-eights Jersey dairy blond are as valuable for tlie and as dairyman higher grades or in thoroughbreds, few a can, a years, raise a hord of grades that will produce fifty better per cent, more of butter and of tidice quality. There is a strong pro - among farmers against this breed because of their small size, but long ex perience with both large and small cows fed me to the conclusion that they eat in proportion food of to their weight, and that the support necessary for two cows of 1200 pounds each is ample for three of 800 pounds each, and on 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 and small cows; last w ider I luid all small Jerseys, and the differ cnee in the quantity of food eaten was quite noticeable. The idea that you must get a herd of cows that will be profitable for beef when you are done milking them is erroneous, for often the extra food they will eat during the years of milking will cost twice what the carcass will bring. The most satis¬ factory food I have ever used for dairy cows, taking is cob-meal cost and and effect into ac¬ count, bran, mixed equal bulks, the corn and cob ground so line that it would take close lookiug to detect the cob. S In connection with this I have fed | what bright clover hay and corn fodder 1 f ! , rJ- f : v i i , i , ; hi r “tnu ‘ »re hi n i Fee ‘ . j fl leif I ™ Let,-V Vo 'thev n, mill- «nd n™ in 1 I, tlinn .j f ,, ..

Strange Customs In Siam. A report has been forwarded from Bangkok the to the Foreign Office of a jour¬ ney to Laos State of Nan, in Siam, 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. elephant, For stealing buffalo, an elephants killing an or or a bullock, the punishment is death. Murder or house¬ breaking are also punished with death A person detected in smoking opium is imprisoned for would three years, and for a sec¬ ond offense he probably bo put to death. This system appears to work well, there having been no execution during tlie year then current, and only one the year before, while there were only four or five prisoneis 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 be is allowed to choose whom he will serve, and if he‘does not like one, he may re-enroll himself as the slave of nn 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 t.ist three days of our stay we wont 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 which we saw some boxing seemed by young Laos, the people never tired of watching. Some novel features to Europeans were the postures sidered and grimaces wh’ch seemed to lighting, bo con an essential part of tlie 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, a game was played which bore some resemblance to foot ball. A large cocoanut, well greased, was thrown among a number of young men, who then struggled who to get possession of it, and the one managed to get away with it to the other end of the ground re ceived a prize. After the ceremony of throwing lines containing 3-anna pieces among the crowd had taken place, the “prasat,” or wooden structure containing the urn, was borne aloft ou the shoulders of about ninety men, and carried out to a place on the bank of a river, about a quarter of a mile from the walls, followed by a long procession, inwh ch were the sons of the chief, with tlieir attendants. In accordance with tlie barbarous custom prevalent here, the “prasat” and was stripped opened an d the body taken out of all lighted its coverings the before .—Pall the pyre 'Moll was by Uparat Ga zette. A Singular Case of Hearing. Fome time ago an engineer on the Miami Railroad was suspended because, after having been examined by Dr Clark, ho was found to be quite deaf. The engineer claimed at the time that he could hear everything while running his engine, but the doctor found that in a still room lie could not hear ordinary conversation a foot away. The engineer lived at Cincinnati, and received treat- | ment in that city for his disease, but without any special benefit.

Steaming Food. There are some housekeepers who are fully alive to the value of a steamer as a labor-saving machine in their kitchens, and as an indispensable aid to good coo ki n g, but there are many others who do not realize its usefulness, and have 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 trouble, as any one will testify who has tried both 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 abcut twelve inches high to fit over an ordinary iron pot. The cover must be very tight to retain the steam. Things that safely are steamed cannot burn, and once over a pot of boiling water, the hunied housekeeper may dismiss them from her mind. There is only one point to be remembered: the water must never cease boiling for a single instant, and therefore the fire must not should be permitted be to get low.

IV ith the addition of to matoes, artichokes, _ or whatever vege tables can be cornstarch, procured, makes and a slight wel thickening of it a come addition to the family dinner. 11 the supply of vegetables is insufficient, a pint of milk is a great improvement, and a well-beaten egg stirred in gives it body. No house-mother is a past-mistress in the art of economy until she has mastered the possibilities of soup as a nourishing and inexpensive food. It is a means of making use of many fragments that must otherwise be wasted, and of obliging nourish them to yield up every particle of ment that they contain. easily steamed than Fish is much more boiled; it is not as liable to be broken. Oysters are delicious cooked in this way. They are drained, laid on a plate, and steamed for about ten minutes, accord ing to the size, until they look heated, plump and white. The liquor can he an equal quantity of cream added to half a pint, thickened with a teaspoonful of cornstarch anil poured around them, or they can be served dry on squares of buttered toast. Stale bread or biscuit can by steaming be rendered as nice as when fresh, Out the bread in slice=, 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 lighily on a hot dish, Split the biscuit, o iserve the same precautions in steam¬ ing, and serve in tlie same way. Blum cake can bc easily cooked by steaming each loaf for three hours aud finishing by baking it in a moderate oven for one hour. It cannot be told from cake baked in tlie ordinary way, and there is much less anxiety as to how it will turn out .—CkvUtiun Union. Recelpes. TlroE Potato. —Boil and mash good white potatoes.

A Sad Story of the Captivity of a Colony of Prairie Dogs. “'When I was a little boy my father moved from Hoosierdom over upon a broad and blooming prairie in Illinois, saida man to a reporter of a Chicago pa per. “That prairie, stretching north as far and as the eye could reach to the west, was one vast garden of flowers and plants from April to November. There must have been a hundred varieties of wild, blooming plants, ranging from the lowly strawberry, with its white blossom, to the gaudy, flamboyant wild marigold, whose oriental splendors gave vivid color to miles and miles of undulating prairie, “But this by the way. 1 started m to speak or the prairie dogs. The flowers were scarcely more numerous than they, Tou might ride for miles along a path flanked on either side by tlieir villages, which were se.dom more than a few lots apart These villages,always on some lit or lull, were populous.

I don’t know how he man aged it; I've forgotten that. I think they must have been young and foolish, like baby rats, which venture where tlieir pa and ma would never go. My father brought them home, and we cliil dren hugged ourselves in delight as we fancied them as pretty pets like sqnir re j s or w },jt 9 rabbits. A cage was quick jy fitted up; the captives were placed dainties in it and surrounded by all the which we fancied could tempt them to forget tlieir captivity. Our parents kept llg away from the cage, as the little strangers regarded us with a terror which they did not attempt to conceal, But we went to place more food before them the next morning. The food pre viously provided had not been touched, The little prisoners sat wearily on their haunches in the dark extremity of tlieir cell. Childish onriosity was repressed till the second morning, when the cage in was again visited. The captives sat the same position, and no morsel of the varied bill of fare with which we had designed to tempt them had been touch ed. The water was undiminished in the bowl. Another day passed, the third morning came, and we ran out to see our I pets. The sight that their met hunger our eyes and shall never forget. In despair the poor captives had eaten their own feet.
