FARM AND GARDEN. MjTo Grow Tomatoes in Po -fection. ■ Because the generous nature of the ■omato yields bountifully with seemingly little care and attention, says C. L. fo.llen, in the American Agricult //• i*t, the general impression prevails that the plant frequires but little attention. This is a sad mistake, for there is not a vegetable in the ga' den that is so gross a feeder, nor one that readily pays for ail the food and care given as the tomato. To grow it to the greatest perfection, the hills ifhould be dug out to the depth ot two and a half feet; at the bottom there should be a half bushel of well-rotted manure; above this let-the soil be an equal mixture of loam and manure thoroughly mixed. The hills shou dbe least six feet apart. Let the situation be open, warm, airy. When the fruit begins to set mulch with dean straw or very small brush. Under these condi tions six plants will furnish sufficient tomatoes fora family of twelve | ersons. Whatever variety may be p’'» > this manner, the result will show *, r __imens of sire, smoothness, apd esculent proper ties. un known to the variety when grown in the ordinary manner. Modern Improvement in Farming. Among the many helps to make farm ing easier in the last few years, says a farmer in the New York World, "the windmill should not be forgotten. It is nme of the greatest boons to the stock ►raisers that has ever been in use. Where fifty or seventy-five head of cattle are kept—and this is not an unusual num ber—to water them for one day suffi ciently, would require the time and •strength of one man at the pump for two hours, and nothing is more fatiguing, Shereas with wind power it is easily one. Ten years ago a windmill was quite an unusual sight, now the Western prairies are dotted over with them. Wherever practice has shown their im perfections they have b en improved, mne are made so that when the wind is too strong the fans that compose the wheel, close together, so that it must nee .s go slowly. Some wheels are made so that they turn edgewise to the wind when not pumping, thus being safer from damage. A lever keeps them in gear when the wind would otherwise throw them out. The tower, in whose top the large wheel is fixed, must needs be higher than any adjacent tree tops or they will : intercept the wind when it is de-irable to turn the mill; unless the tower ex ceeds the gable in height, the wind when in some quarters, will come whirling around the building to the risk of dam” age to the wheel. Many dig the large stock well, over which the mill is reared, in front of the barn, and with iron pipes conduct the water underground, after it has been pumped, to the \ats in the dif ferent yards where the cattle are kept. This plan gives the cattle purer water to drink than if the well were sunk in the yards. One of the greatest inconveniences at tending the use of windmills are the ice storms which occasionally occur. f The ice adheres to the fans in the wheel, obstructing the working of it, and nothing can be done to remove it, but wait until it thaws, which is usually but a few hours. The wheel at intervals needs oiling, it needs a cool head to mount the "adder, which is always a part of the frame, and oil the works. Sometimes a gale will strike the wheel, which is usually about ten feet across, with such force that it falls to the ground fc and is demolished, when it must be re placed by a new* one. It is found that the higher the tower on which the wheel rests, the less it is likely to be injured by high winds, as a gale expends its force for mischief nearer the earth than is supposed. Windmills wear much iaster on ac count of the wind power which runs them. Domestic Cheese Making. Some famil'es desire to make the cheese for family use. It is true cheese cannot be made of such uniform texture and quality as where all the appliances are at hand, as in a wed ordered cheese factory. Nevertheless, by using ca;e, a better cheese may be made than is du ally found in country stores. The very best rennet must be used, and proper attention be paid to the temperature of the milk during the process of manufac turing. The rennet (the fourth stomach of a calf, before it has eaten grass) should be at least six months old—one year is better—and must have been kept per fectly dry. Put a good sound rennet in a gallon crock containing three quarts of warm water, a teacup lull of salt, and if a handful of sage leaves are added it will give a delicate sage flavor to the cheese. Soak three days, or until a teaspoonful of the rennet extract stirred in a teacupful ol milk will curdle it in fifteen minutes. The strength is then right. Then take out the rennet, dry again thoroughly, and it will then do to soak again with a fresh rennet. Strain off the liquid ex tract into bottles, tightly corked-, and keep in as cool a place as possible. To make whole milk cheese, -strain the milk in a clean tin boiler, setting it on the range, where it will remain at near blood heat, or say 85 degrees. Stir in a gill of the liquid rennet to sixty pounds (thirty quarts) of milk. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Let it stand for twenty minutes, or until curdled; the curd should be ready for cutting by that time. Cut in squares, so the whey may separate from the curd; heat gradually to not over 96 degrees, let stand till the whey rises to the top of curd, then break the curd in pieces with the hand, carefully, so as not to start the white whey, and thus lose some of the richness of the cheese. When the curd is pretty well broken—do not hurry this operation, break up very gently—raise the temperature by a gradual heat till the curd is scalded sufficiently, not over 110 degrees, then dip into a muslin strainer, laid over a rack; or spread over a good-sized market basket, so as to allow the whey to drain from the curd. The curd must be cut fine and worked all the time it is heating, so it will not adhere to gether. When the whev is drained off, salt and put curd immediately to press. This pressure should be gradually in creased. If one has not sufficient milk to make to cheese at one setting, the curd from the first lot can be hung away in a cool place before salting, and remain until the next batch is ready for scalding; t hen it can be cut fine and added to the fresh curd when it is being scalded, and treated tha same as if freshly made. It is much more work to make cheese from th s double curd process than from one setting, and liable to a less successful result. l'iie curd may be salted at the rate of near half an ounce of salt to each pound, say three ounces to six or seven pounds. This salting is not so much for flavoring as to check the tendency to putrefactive formation. The saline taste in old cheese is due not so much to the salt used as to the formation of ammoniac al salts in the process of repressing. The pressure on the cheese in the press must be regulated by circumstances up to 1500 to 2000 pounds. M hen the cheese is taken from the press it should be bandaged with cheese cloth to keep jt from spreading. The temperature of the curing room should be about 04 degrees. The higher the temperature the quicker the ripening. Tut n every day, greasing with whey but ter as occasion may require, to prevent era king, or in lieu of this with un salted butter. After the cheese becomes firm, turn only as occasion may require, the ripening pro ess requiring two or three months.— Farm, Field and Slock man. Farm and Garden Notes. Secure good seed corn early. Starving hens make a lean egg-basket. Baby lambs and calves need good care. Succulent food makes succulent milk. Stables should certainly be cleaned daily. Pears do well where the land is half Id grass. A good tree well set needs no tying to stakes. Add scalded milk to oatmeal for grow ing calves. It is not well to allow cattle and swine to run together. Dirty boots are as much out of place on hay as on the carpet. Buckwheat is recommended for soil infested with wire-worms. Old orchards should be manured and plowed, using lime and ashes. Wood ashes, where available, are the cheapest fertilizer for fruit trees. It is usually necessary to moisten eggs a little just before hatching in nests built “high and dry.” For the first month five times a clay is recommended for feeding young chick ens, by a correspondent of Poultry World. Sulphur, insect powder and kerosene should be used freely in preventing the spread of and in destroying poultry vermin. Currants would give better satisfaction if not so generally slighted. They repay very liberally for pruning, manure, and culture. Lay in a stock of copper sulphate and whatever other materiais are needed, at an early date. And don’t forget the spraying pump and nozzle. On many farms it will pay better to i build a large poultry yard to pen the ! chickens in, than to build a much longer | fence to pen the chickens out. ' It may be a pleasure for farmers to try some of the fancy breeds, but the most profit comes from adopting one of the general purpose kinds and breedmg it straight. Old pear trees that have apparently been worthless have been revived by the application of a peck of salt and ashes scattered around the base. Now is the time to try the method. In pruning roses cutting back closely produces, as a rule, fewer blossoms of finer quality, while from those not so closely pruned will be obtained a larger quantity of smaller flowers. In planting peach and quince trees they should be given a rich, mellow soil. Old trees may be materially benefited if the branches are carefully thinned out and a good dressing of well-decayed manure is given over the surface of the roots. Pays the New England Farmer: “A farmer will spend a day in carting some fertilizer for which he has to pay a good price, when for the same time spent lie might have had something just as valu able by carefully collecting the drop pings trorn under the roosting fowls.” Plant raspberries in rows five feet apart and three feet in the row. Black berries in rows eight feet apart and thre6 feet in the row. Strawberries may be set in rows three feet apart, and twelve inches in the row. The soil should be fertile, but good cultivation counts much. Llowever great possibilities there may be in poultry raising, the plan adopted by many farmers causes a loss of far more fruit, and “garden truck ” and grain, than the ch’ckens are worth. In telligent management and feeding are as necessary with chickens as with other live-stock. No one need expect to get sound, healthy chickens from eggs laid by hens that have been coddled into good-for nothingness all through the winter months. The constitution as well as the other characteristics of a chicken is de termined by the health and condition or its parents. Speaking of pasturing, a New Eng lander says; “In my opinion a farmer can keep a sheep with every cow with out any additional expense. A farmer keeping twenty cows will find he has just as much food if he has kept twenty sheep with them, and they are just as well nourished.” Wood ashes are one of the best possi ble fertilizers for young trees, whether fruit or ornamental trees. It should not be put directly on the roots, but worked into the soil, as it is filled in after the tree has been set. land plaster mi<rht also be used in the same way. eithei alone or in connection with the wood ashes. The ashes and plaster might also be broadcasted about the trees and plowed or spaded in. The best treatment for mange in pigs is to apply a mixture of flowers of sulphur and common lard. Apply this ointment to every part of the animal, rubbing it into the hair and skin with a good stiff brush. The pigs should, of course, be remo'ed from the old pen and placed in one perfectly clean. One application will usually be sufficient to effect a cure, unless the disease has been neglected until the animdis covered with sores; then two or three applications may be necessary. NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN. Princess Louise, of Lome, is just fort> years of age. A black silk gown is indispensable in a lady’s wardrobe. Queen Victor a tabooes the electric, light in her palaces. . French women of means affect the study of astronomy. Pale pink and gray is a favorite com bination in cotton dresses. Immense Leghorn hats for children’s wear are imported extensively. Short dresses are the rule in Paris both for day aud evening toilets. Altogether there are 15,000 women in Great Britain engaged in nursing. Mme. Patti-Nieolini requires forty three trunks to carry her wardrobe. Russia linen of a heavy quality makes durable and serviceable dish towels. The fancy Roman ribbons are used both in millinery aud in trimming cos tumes. Gray in every shade is considered in Paris just now the stylish of all colors. The popular color for gloves are tan, eucalyptus brown, and gray in many shades. The oculists all agree that the use of dotted veils by ladies has increased their business. The Princess Christian, of Schleswig- Holstein, has an article in Oscar Wild’s Magazine. Full sleeves and short waists go to gether, and both are rapidly'' coming into vogue. Pretty pinafores for children are made of white naiusock, with a low bodice and full shirt. Pure white hair of the best quality is so rare as to be worth more than its weight in gold. Long woven silk mits or stocking-leg gloves are worn with the open sleeved costume this summer. The new Marseilles blue takes the place of navy blue for summer gowns of linen, serge aud flannel. Rose pink and white are favorite colors for bridesmaids, Green or yellow rib bons with white are also favored. The ex-Empress Eugenie will spend the summer at Osborne Cottage, placed at her disposal by Queen Victoria. A young woman at Cairo, Mich., wears a head ot azure hair, hav ng mistaken the family bluing bottle for her hair dye. Roman moire sashes with lengthwise stripes appeared this season in rich dark combinations, and also in the true Roman colors. Stylish garnitures of silk cord, gimp, etc., are arranged to cover the entire sur face of wool skirts from the knee to the skirt hem. Marietta Holley, the author of “ Josiab Allen’s Wife,” ia said to be the worst ficnwoman of all the women engaged in iterary pursuits. The number of women who walk foi exercise regularly in New York is in creasing so rapidly that the doctors are beginning to complain. Wash dresses for little girls are some times made with full skirts and belted waists with eight or ten feather-stit hed tucks down the front and back. Mrs. I). L. King, of Akron, Ohio, is one of the few descendants of George Wash ington’s only sister, she being Betty Washington’s great granddaughter. Mrs. E. D. E. N. Sou’hworth has bad the gold pens with which her novels were written melted up an I turned into two rings—one for each of her children. Yoke waists grow more and more in favor, and the French blouse, with fitted lining, and deeply pointed yokes will be largely seen iu yachting, boating and tennis costumes. The latest fancy in parasols is to have the sections of the cover unequallv divided; that is to say, one narrow and one wide gore, and then the handle must be a natural wood stick. Mrs. Shoemaker, of Muscle Fork, Mo., is no gadder. Although perfectly well, she has not been away from home for twenty-five years, not even to run in and talk with a neighbor. Among the multitude of new jerseys, one of good black, not too heavily braided, and buttoned once over a vest of white pilot cloth, commands itself both for elegance and service. It is stylish to have one side of youi skirtdifferin toto from theother; but if you flounce one half and drape the other the uninitiated are apt to pity you for having put your frock on away. A woman’s invention is a baby wagon for the house, thoroughly padded, in which the baby cannot be hurt, even if it tips over. The wagon can be turned into a cradle and made into a swing. The first woman preacher in this coun try was Rev. Antoinette Brown Black well, who was minister of an Ohio Con gregational Church thirty-five years ago. She now lives in Elizabeth, N. J., and is a Unitarian. London's latest fad in hair dressing might be termed “the scalp lock.” as it consists in a few nearly upright locks quite on the top of the head, which are further accented by some quills, a flower aigrette or “cocky” bow of ribbon. Blouses of red surah with yoke and cuff of tucks, of red crape with accesso ries of black velvet, or of fine white flannel tucked and brier-stitched with silk, will be much worn with skirts of silk or wool throughout the summer. Dr. Yow, of the Chinese Embassy, at Washington, says there is no truth in the story about his approaching marriage to *.n American woman. “L'all newspaper taikee,” said the little doctor, gesticula ting. “Me no m’lly; me have wifee in Chinee.” Miss Ethel IngalL, daughter of Sena tor Ingalls, who is writing letters from Washington to the New York World, is a handsome young woman with blonde hair, dark, flashing eyes, and an intel lectual countenance. !“he has a grace ful figure, and is altogether a most strik ing girl in appearance. Mrs. Ella F. Young, Assistant Super intendent of the Public Schools of Chi cago, is the only lady who has the honor of holding a like position. She was educated in the Chicago schools, is a lady of superior refinement and cultiva tion, and is in every way qualified for the duties pertaining to her position. WOULD NOT LIVE PRISONERS. 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 i broad and blooming prairie in Illinois,” said a man to a reporter of a Chicago pa [ per. “That prairie, stretching as far as the eye could reach to the north and 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 vivi d color to miles and miles of undulating prairie. “But this by the way. 1 started in to speak or the prairie dogs. The flowers were scarcely more numerous than they. You might ride for miles along a path flanked on either side by their villages, which were seldom more than a few rods apart. These villages,always on some lit tle knoll or hill, were populous. The horseman who approacned one of them would see a sentinel gravely motionless at the door of every burrow. One could scarcely tell these sentries from bits of wood, so still and straight were they, so much a part of the great, silent land scape. “But if ever there was a case of ‘now you see it and now you don’t,’ those little sentinel prairie dogs offer the traveler a striking example. He sees them there, as silent and impressive as the sentries of Pompeii, and wonders what they will do when he gets closer. He keeps his eye fixed on two or three of them, and unconciously checks his horse, so that the clatter of hoofs may not startle them. He is within fifty, thirty, twenty paces, when lo! the sentries are gone. He has not seen them go. The earth has swallowed them. He rubs his eyes and he rrdes on. wondering if it were all an illusion. He looks back to assure himself, when lo! the sentries are there as still and statuesque as before. “One time my father trapped four or five of them. 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 their pa and ma would never go. My father brought them home, and we chil dren hugged ourselves in delight as we fancied them as pretty pets like squir rels or white rabbits. A cage was quick ly fitted up; the captives were placed in it and surronnded by all the dainties which we fancied could tempt them to forget their captivity. Our parents kept us 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 their cell. Childish curiosity was repressed > till the second morning, when the cage was again visited. The captives sat in the same position, aud 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 pets. The sight that met our eyes I shall never forget. In their hunger and despair the poor captives had eaten their own feet. The bloody stumps were a sad and sickening reproof to oar cruelty in depriving the children of the prairie of their wild, sweet liberty. We felt it, children as we were, and silently, almost in tears, we opened the prison door and slipped away to give the captives oppor tunity to escape. But it was too late. With their little feet gnawed off up al most to their little bodies, they could scarcely more than drag themselves out into the grass, where they soon after : died.” Don't disgust eve-ybody blow ing an 1 sjflitin?, but use Dr. image’s Catarrh Remedy aud be cured.
